across the grounds here at the school. one person was shot critically here. that person later died in surgery at ucla medical center, unfortunately. but just a breathtaking number of incidents across a wide swath of this city, culminating with a shootout in the library at santa monica college. unbelievable. and miguel, from what we understand, from what i read, got out of that press conference, the suspect, the person wearing all the black, possibly in ballistic vest, was shot inside the library at santa monica college, correct? reporter: yeah. and it may have been college police that shot and killed him as well. from several witnesses and from police, it does appear that that person was shot and killed there in the library. several witnesses saw the person that they saw dressed completely in black. one witness said this person was yelling at police, that there was some yelling back and forth. police telling him to drop it and he clearly didn t.
they also said that the person, the suspect dressed in black shot in the library, expired on the scene, but they actually removed the body the person i guess to an exterior location because they weren t sure what else was going on in the library. does that make sense to you? well, not exactly. but again, that s probably part of the confusion which was, you know, was he pronounced dead there, did they move him so that they could, you know, continue to do the search but also get him medical aid because they weren t going to bring medical people into that location if they had information there was a second gunman. what you see here, anderson, is kind of the second tactical wave of how these things are done. there s an old model we worked with for years which is the gunman s in there, there may be hostages, you surround the building, then you try to start a dialogue with that person and negotiate. the new phenomenon is the active shooter is engaged in hunting behavior. once he gets i
territory in santa monica, in california, and it seems at this point that while the shootings between the house and the college were random, perhaps, the police are saying it seems, and again, this is early in the investigation, the deaths inside that house were not random. no, anderson. i think if you look at how this unfolds, you see an individual who came prepared, dressed in the black clothing, possibly wearing body armor, not carrying a hand gun but carrying a long weapon. so this individual who is believed to be the son or relative of somebody in that house, this may involve this may involve his father at that residence and a divorced family. but what you see is the individual arrives at that house, is prepared for whatever it is he s planned to do and that plan involves shooting people in the house, setting that fire. and then we see that organized plan go into something much more
can t tell if it s a person in a body bag yes. so the body s already been covered. did you get a look at all at the suspect, because authorities said the suspect was wearing all black, possibly wearing a ballistic vest. i assume by the time you took this picture, by the time you were on the scene, the suspect was already covered. he was covered and again, one of the students that was in the library at the time described him as caucasian, wearing black and he also had black gloves on. black gloves as well. rona navales, i appreciate your reporting. so glad you re safe as well. i want to bring in marta fegerstrom. i believe you were on a bus, you saw a man with a rifle standing in the street. when was this? yeah. i was on the bus and suddenly there was a guy standing on the left-hand side with a rifle and he just started to shoot.
think it s an important point to reiterate, this point, this is very early, early hours in this incident, in this investigation. they repeatedly said that throughout that press conference which took place about 20 minutes or so ago. they say that the suspect, they re not identifying or have not identified the suspect yet who was apparently shot and killed in the library, but is identified as a white male, 25 to 30 years old, wearing all black with some type of possibly ballistic vest on as well. for more on the victims and the gunman and the investigation, miguel marquez is on the scene, has been covering this now for the last several hours. also, cbs this morning senior correspondent john miller, who served as a top official in the los angeles police department, joins us. first of all, can you walk us through, because that press conference was kind of confusing. it was all over the place. can you walk us through the timeline of what happened, where and when? reporter: well, we belie
