are there on the ground. an understanding is that there are cars underneath that bridge as well. you see one of them on the bottom right sticking out. you can see rescuers on top of the bridge doing some work. we have seen workers, apparently, taking people away from the scene on stretchers, presumably, to the hospitals, to treat those injuries. but, again, this is coming to you out of miami, florida, right now. a bridge collapse. a pedestrian bridge that has fallen. you can see a lot of rubble. they re zooming in on one of those vehicles that was crushed. and, again, we want to be very sensitive to the situation. we don t know whether people are still inside that vehicle or if there are people underneath that
and teachers inside of the school. they ve barricaded themselves inside there. we know that they are on not on the first floor and i m not going to say where they are just in case the shooter is listening. we do know that some of the students have gotten out, but there are still at least about 20 people in there hiding and we do know that some people are injured as you mentioned. the s.w.a.t. is surrounding the school right now but obviously this is still a very tenuous situation. patients right now a parents trying to get ahold of kids an the mother that we spoke with was texting her daughter inside of the school and she hasn t heard from her in a few minutes and she s very concerned. and i just asked my director, are these live pictures? there are students leaving and arms raised above their heads. that may have been an instruction by police to come out with your heads above your heads and we do see what appear
news about fatalities. what are you hearing, sir? unfortunately, i m afraid that s true, that there are a number of fatalities. that information came to me when i spoke to the superintendent of schools. and so, indeed, this is a very, very tragic day. the shooter, they don t have him in custody, but they think and i ve spoken to all the law enforcement. they think they know who he is, but they don t have him in custody yet. so, this is a really bad day, ali. senator, tell me what you know is going on there. we know the president has heard about this. he just tweeted about it. so have a lot of the local politicians from the area. but there appear to still be parents there who don t know what s going on. we still have students coming out of that school. it does not look like a secure
but the urgency does not seem to indicate that of a current active shooter. but we don t know there isn t one. all we know is that there were reports of an active shooter at this margory stoneman douglas high school in parkland, florida. we re going to try and get some we are trying hard to get information about what is happening there. we do not have reports at the moment of injuries but there were reports of people having been taken away. the broward county sheriff s department, which is investigating this, has asked people to stay away from the area. the spokesperson from there said the s.w.a.t. team was called to the school, for those of you that know the area, it is pine island road. that is the tweet, avoid the area, and bso, that is broward county sheriff s office is working a developing incident regarding a report of a active shooter. so we don t have confirmation of an active shooter, however
