those forces that are trying to secure this shooter have done so at least in job hall. there was speculation about potential for a second shooter. that is unconfirmed. but what do you make of this situation? well, the task always, thomas, is to locate, isolate, then evacuate and mitigate the shooter. that s the task that law enforcement has. you have been covering this thoroughly. i have been to this campus. i was in charge of mississippi operations for years for atf. it s a very small campus in cleveland. cleveland s a very small city, 15,000 people, maybe. so it looks like they got right into job hall and things have kind of calmed down. they got evacuated so they located, isolated at least the point maybe where the professor was killed. so we don t know the status of the shooter or shooters. are they deceased, are they barricaded, have the police shot them, have they shot themselves. we don t really know yet.
campus. jim cavanaugh, bring you back into the conversation. you know what this means now, where the initial reporting had been that we believed that the shooter remained in job hall where dr. schmidt was killed and now seems as if they have a manhunt beyond the campus. right. that s very important information mark reported there. he is trying to confirm it right now. the point is they don t have the shooter is not there deceased and they don t have the shooter in custody. they don t know the location of the shooter. those are the takeaways of mark s reporting. he s not a murder-suicide. not apprehended and don t know the location of the person and reporting it s not a student. we are not clear on how they know that. maybe by his age or maybe they know a possible identity of someone but the person still being loose, thomas, is critical information for everybody in the
second stimulus, because that is the word that the president may offer upper f efor a proposal a labor day? yes. when we did the first stimulus we thought it would be enough and the economy would rebound, and it didn t, so we have to do more, and we cannot sit back and watch people suffer. we need another stimulus. and i have sent out a tweet that i will be attending the job hall and jobs fair and to my surprise there were people online critical of members of the congressional black caucus and other african-american leaders who have challenged the president and we have talked about the much-talked about moment in detroit with congresswoman waters saying if you let go, we will challenge this president as we will any president, and the audience said to let go and they want to see the challenge, but with that said, the african-american lawmakers are taking heat if you will for calling out the president on this. what do you believe is behind

of job hall. reporter: oh, job hall is our history department. it s the building where our history department is located. and the campus itself, is it pretty intimate? would you have to walk to job hall in an interior location on campus or is it drive-up? reporter: it s in the center of our campus. surrounded by other buildings in the middle of what we have called a quadrangle where students gather for events and it s within walking distance. all of our buildings are within walking distance for our students. when it comes to as i said, you re the editor of the newspaper but you are also the mom, your son attends the school there. explain, you spoke to him, he is safe, but what did he describe? reporter: yeah. actually, in order for most of
