the caliber out at this second, just because it is it may hinder what we are trying to do. and again, our priority is we have to get this guy in custody. and that is exactly what we plan to do. [inaudible] not a detail at this time, other than what i described earlier. he the suspect watched in, armed, and he wasof individuals. you are telling people that it is safe to attend chinese new year events in this area? yes. and if that changes for any reason, we will immediately notify our community through all of you. at this point, can you say anything about the weapon that was used in alejandra, was that a long rifle, was it an ar, what was it? it was not an assault rifle. thank you. sir, regarding the events
and pd news conference that we heard just there. given what he who heard from authorities, coupled with what is being reported on the scanner traffic, where do you think things stand here and how effective are they handling this investigation? good afternoon, alex. obviously, we are talking about another mass shooting occurring in the country we are getting close to 700 this year. right now we, are not able to definitively tighten to incidences decatur, and, however, the proximity and the timeframe we was even a probability that we are looking at the same suspect. obviously, you can t say that at this point because it is preliminary, but the fact they are looking at a both locations and occasionally there could be a tie. we want people to rule in or out the fact that this is the same suspect.
