anybody needing transportation to those, we ve already given evacuation order for our marinas to people to take their water craft out and move them around in back. but the major concern right now is the surge. particularly in our back bays and rivers and creeks, those areas. the front beach will take some, but the major damage is likely to occur further inland in those tributaries. mayor billy hewes, gulf port, mississippi, we wish you the best. stay safe. also, we re following this breaking news overseas out of london. police are now saying they are keeping an open mind about the motivation of an incident in london where several pedestrians were hit in a collision with a car. cnn s nick robertson is there, so nick, earlier, police said the incident didn t appear to be terror-related. now keeping an open mind. what s going on? reporter: yeah, this is a
clarification by the police. it s not uncommon in these situations. we had an incident here about a month and a half ago where a man who was in was in what could have been what appeared to be a terror-type incident with a sword outside bucking ham palace where the queen lives. within an hour or so, the police said not terrorism. the next morning, they had revised that. the man had been shouting threats and it was very clear this was terrorism and that was decided the next day. so in this case, the police now seem to be maintaining a little more caution in their view, perhaps in light of that case until they can get to the bottom of this. but keeping an open mind, not ruling out terrorism at this stage. what we ve been able to see from the scene shortly after the incident, a black car smashed into a couple of other vehicles. the door opened, and four bystanders have wrestled a man to the ground. now, the police say that they ve
a semiautomatic weapon basically into a military machine gun. that s what the las vegas shooter used to commit the atrocity. the gun dealers are not in favor of any regulation. take a look. do you think bump stocks should be banned? no. absolutely not. what should be banned is bad people. there s lots of them in america. even the common people should have fully autos. you ve got to take these laws and make people responsible for their own actions. reporter: so fully automatic weapons are okay with you as well? oh, absolutely. and fully automatic weapons in the hands of a good american is what keeps america free. it isn t is police. we, the people, we, the people, that s why the founding fathers put that in there. we, the people, have the right to protect ourselves and our families, even into the shedding of blood. reporter: well, people like that gentleman may not be in favor of regulation, that doesn t mean they like using bump stock.
police confirmed there was no one in the room with paddock and they haven t seen anyone on security video appearing to be in an accomplice. the shooter brought his guns and ammunition up to the room over the course of several days. i want to bring in now cnn s scott mclane who is following the investigation. scott, the shooter had also 50 pounds of explosives in his vehicle. what do authorities believe the intention was? reporter: well, fredricka, that s actually begging the question as to whether or not stephen paddock potentially intended to survive this shooting and go potentially take that car somewhere, because it was loaded up with some 1,600 rounds of ammunition and 50 pounds of that explosive that you mentioned called tanirite. it is completely legal to buy in the united states. it s commonly used in target shooting to create exploding targets, but why he had his car loaded up with that is still a very open question. we are also learning that the
detained a man, but it s not clear that this man came from the vehicle. it s not clear that a man wrestled to the ground by what appear to be bystanders there was actually the same man that the police have detained but this happened at the scene by a vehicle that appears to have been involved in a road traffic accident with the driver side door open on that vehicle. so, at the moment, the police are not releasing details of how many people injured or what sort of casualties we, cnn, have witnessed two people being taken into ambulances in wheelchairs, one person under a red blanket, under an ambulance gurney wheeled and stretchered into the ambulance. there have been many ambulances coming and going. if polithe police cordon remain place. this is now a crime scene that s being processed here. there is still what appears to be a police helicopter overhead. you see another vehicle rushing into this ongoing crime scene.
