from a witness who saw what happened, and we want to play that for you. i called a couple of my family members like hey, it s an active shooter in the city, if anything happen to me i just want y all to know i can t get back into the building and i m out here really in the streets. and they re telling me i just have to keep moving and keep moving backwards and backwards from my actual original location. it s just tough right now. i can t get back to work. them pushing us back, how much does that suggest to you expanding their perimeter? just letting them know that the situation is not something that can be taken lightly. they re definitely taking all the precaution that s they can by pushing us this far back. and it just make me wonder where is he. it could be any one of us. not any one of us. but it could be 99 out here right now and we don t really know who s the shooter.
first call you simply do not know what is going on. then as more information comes out, he left the facility, he was seen running down the street, then they can begin to essentially withdraw what they surge. and that is what we are seeing. and it s proved by the police now saying they re in a search posture. not in a dloung posture. they re locked down to make sure people are safe. but remember, sometimes things get worse when people enter a building and find out what actually occurred. we don t know. but the posturing of the police is a well-known sort of what we ve all seen, which is they re not letting someone shoot someone in the building right now. they ve been told that that part of this is over and now it s the search. and thank you so much for helping us decipher what you are
threat you re not going to see the medical personnel rushing in initially. so one thing we often also see in this instance is this flooding of resources. we know that in this era where we see active shooters, we see gun violence all the time, regardless of what badge an officer wears, the patch on their shoulder, they go. that s why we ve seen the fulton county marshals, the state troopers, local police, all of these officers converging and josh go ahead, brianna. fudge pause for just a moment because i do want to show our viewers at this point you actually have the atlanta police department and they have tweeted out this photo of the suspect, a bolo, be on the lookout because the suspect is still at large. they put this out minutes ago. a photo appears to be in an elevator of the suspect it appears in this building. but josh, continue. obviously, they want people to be aware of who this person is as they re on the lookout for them right now.
place. ryan, what are you seeing and what s the latest you re hearing from police? yeah, boris, the patchwork of police officers throughout this area really blocked off the streets here. so we had to get rid of our cars and sort of hike in. they ve moved us several different times because they are trying to keep up a hard perimeter around this entire area. you can see just off the side here, you can see the heavy s.w.a.t. personnel vehicles that are in this area. we are a block away pretty much from the location where this shooting happened. if you look down this direction here, that is the corner of the hospital right there that everyone sort of focused on. i ve been to this place before. every different floor has a different sort of practice on the inside of it. and for those who know atlanta at all, the midtown whole foods is one block over. there s a lot of focus on that building right now and especially around that parking garage area. they really shut this area down to make sur
at this point there are at least three people who have been pretty seriously injured in this. can you give us an idea of what law enforcement is dealing with right now? yeah, brianna. there s a lot obviously we don t know about what s happening inside that building right now. but we can glean some information just looking at the pictures themselves. we were just seeing where you have officers who have set up a containment of this area. one thing that we re not seeing which is potentially telling is this sfloodi ingflooding of add police. obviously we see a lot of vehicles lined up but you re not seeing more resource coming and coming and coming. that tlz us they at least have this person or the area where this occurred surrounded but you re not seeing this massive perimeter that s been set up. a minute ago we saw a traffic control officer there directing traffic just a couple blocks from what appears to be the centralized zone there. you also see some of those fire department vehicle
