power, the land power to begin to move across this area hopefully more rapidly and get people out. so look at these helicopter pictures. unbelievably dramatic. what they are doing right now, as you look at this, they have people on board, military personnel, navy and air force, and they are scanning continuously. they are looking for any signs on the ground, people on rooftops, people waving sheets or towels out of their windows, people who have to be rescued who are in imminent danger from the floodwaters, and the only way to get to them is by helicopter. if somebody is on their roof, these are the kind of helicopters, these types of helicopters, that fly overhead, they lower a basket with a rescue person attached and then or they have a belt and they bring these people up to their helicopters. it is dangerous precision work. the problem is they can only
bad. the part a 35 is underwater and barely passable. we see helicopter pictures and their devastating. give me an idea, have you been able to talk to first responders in the police and fire departments in these towns? up until this morning their communications were completely cut off. have they had a chance to search buildings for survivors? i was talking to some mayors and they been in touch with their first responders and they said do not come back to town. some of the main streets are blocked with power lines down. i don t think you could get there if you wanted to, s certainly not without a big truck. leland: we have pictures coming in.
and not necessarily the assumption that all three of them are together, phil. no, francis, you re right. as craig was describing to you, this is a very rural area. heavily wooded, as you see from the helicopter pictures. it s a resort area. it s what s known as the chana lakes an hour northwest of chicago. a lot of boaters frequent this area because it s a very, very boating intensive area. in fact, the lake is just out of frame there, just to the left of what you re seeing. i can tell you that within the last 20 minutes a tremendous all-call went out on the radios for movement that was seen in the woods and police converged on an area hickory and rollins which is about what you re looking at right now. now an all-clear has just gone up from that area just a couple of minutes ago. in fact, one deputy was heard on the radio saying at this point it looks like we re chasing ghosts out here. i can tell you that originally when the first messages went out it was for male black, male
school was on notification so the police deployed to the school. they have the train station. we were told at the time was shut down. in audition that is how they get to and from school on the train and on city buses. they don t deploy yellow school buses. it s city schools, they take city transportation. they are ready to move forward on these students who they no doubt they believe they can control. look what happened instead. the next clip. the one we have from earlier. this is the students throwing at the police these are helicopter pictures. the police made a line and were moving forward are now having to retreat because if you look closely, bout closely boulders are flying at the cops. they move forward to control the crowd but the crowds were too big and the police had to retreat. watch this. some of these police there we go some of them will pick up the boulders and return fire with the ammunition that came at
things can be wildly off the mark. yeah. you can interview ten people regarding one incident and get ten different accounts for what took place, oddly enough. what is happening right now? presumably police are trying to either identify or already know who the shooter is, who the victims are. they are conducting this investigation. i think first and foremost what they really want to do is know who he was and then what his relationship was with the two victims. i think that s critical to them right now because that s going to narrow down a lot of their, how would you say, avenues of investigation. it s going to make this a little more simplistic for them. i want to indicate to our viewers and to you, lou, what we re looking at right now are live pictures, helicopter pictures from our affiliate wbal in baltimore of the mall itself looking down through a window in the mall into it. and you can see investigators inside that mall. i take it they have cleared the mall at this point, t
