day. but instead, about an hour and 15 minutes ago, for reasons unknown, began shooting the place up and walking town an aisle. from the sound of things, targeting about everybody around according to the reporting of this one witness who has been speaking to our network news service affiliate on scene. your world with neil cavuto is coming up. as i mentioned, we re waiting to hear from the mayor of aurora. he was born and raised in aurora. graduate of aurora, east aurora high school. been there all of his life. the major calling in in just a moment. the screen has gone dark for the moment. we have other pictures coming in from other sources and expect to have the mayor on in just a moment. official notifications are hard to come by. what we have officially, multiple people wounded,
one trauma center in the immediate area. that hospital taking a number of patients. i mentioned another hospital which had taken two patients in this afternoon. we don t know the exact number injured. the reporting is all coming together now from multiple sources. four police officers shot. we don t know if that happens you heard from the witnesses. a shooter was going down the aisle in the plant. reporter information now on the officer s condition. cbs 2, our network news service affiliate, a reporter on scene, is attributing this to his sources on scene saying the degrees of injuries on the police officers do not seem to be dire. all reported in stable condition. so that s very good news from the cbs 2 reporter on scene. the degree of injuries of the four police officers don t seem to be dire. all in stable condition. we don t know about the condition of the civilians.
others might have been involved, you want to be able to get ju justice and speak to the suspect. there s unconfirmed reports out there we go with trusted sources. we re going to leave them to the side. i can tell you that multiple victims have been airlifted our mike tobin in route now, approaching the rush hour in the afternoon there. mike tobin on the way to the scene. i wonder what your sources are telling you? most everything is in a state of lock down. the schools, the businesses are locked down, that the shooter has been apprehended. probably over abundance of caution is the reason that is in effect. a lot of what you re hearing,
live. new information just coming in from the same eye witness. this is from abc 7 there in chicago. the co-worker that he recognized as shooter was currently employed there. the witness said he didn t hear of any threats. his co-worker came in at 7:00 a.m. for his regular shift. the regular shift ends at 3:30. so 15 minutes from now central time. the co-worker was an assembler who worked about 80 yards away from him inside that facility. remember, this is a manufacturing facility. we described it earlier what the facility is all about. it would have been about 30 workers on scene at the time of the shooting. according to this witness to abc 7, we ll get official from authorities in a little while, but according to this witness, the person who is suspected of the shooting came in at a regular shift at 7:00 a.m., would have gotten off work at 13 minutes from now on a normal
police. yeah, once you start getting those official statements, shep, it s obviously a clear sign that the moment of crisis at least has passed. so that is a good sign. we know the shooter has been apprehended as you ve been saying. we don t know what that means. we assume he s been taken into custody. words of apprehended would be used if they had taken him alive. for the shooting of the four police officers, we re awaiting for time confirmation on that. reports of several officers shot. logic would dictate that they were most likely among the first officers on the scene. no indications as why any police officers would have been at this henry pratt company prior to the shooting. so we can only assume they were among the first responders.
