i ve been out in coral springs but i never dealt with this. we lost michelle s shot there the shot from chopper 6. but we have been following this whole situation at stoneman douglas high school in parkland, 5901 pine island road. there is an apparent shooting at the school. we ve seen one person wheeled out, now here is a close-up shot and you could see parents and students outside but a number of students are still being held in the school because there is apparently an active shooter inside or in the vicinity of the school. and you are looking at live pictures. we have the photographer correct me if i m wrong, this is pine island road just outside of the school , you see parents standing around and police filing in because this is an active shooter situation. parents are wondering around. they can t get to their kids. this has to be chaos for them. worried sick, but we just heard from a parent who said she hasn t heard from her child for about four minutes. this is after she
perhaps not being able to communicate with them. and i hope my friend doesn t mind me sharing this on air. i have a good friend who recently moved to the area. and her little girl who has been home-schooled for years, dallas her first day at west glades. and the first day at school she s on lockdown there. she again is in a closet with friends texting to her mom. so this just has to be a very harrowing situation for these children. not knowing and again we started with this about 2:30 or so. about 2:30 kevin and i rushed into the studio here for us to go on air live and we ve been on ever since. still waiting to for police to hopefully apprehend this active shooter, only seeing one person come out in a stretcher and lots of commandos and s.w.a.t. and police and sheriff deputies all over that school and all over the area there. which is a pretty small area in itself. sure. they are trying to secure the scene. what you are looking at is officer s.w.a.t. officers,
take a look at some closer images. you see law enforcement on the scene right now getting inside of a pickup truck. we do understand that there is possibly one if not more injuries inside of this school. we understand that one person was transported by ambulance and a little bit earlier. but no word as of right now as to possible fatalities and injuries. no word on an exact number. here is another look at the scene. you see the students running. they are doing what they ve been told to do with their hands up trying to get away from the high school and from the scene as they continue to search for the shooter there at stoneman douglas high school. again this playing out roughly at about 2:30, between 2:20 and 2:30 this afternoon. and again, they are still searching for that shooter. last seen about 5 8 wearing burgundy shirt and a white male. wearing black pants or shorts and a black hat. and to give you an idea of the location of this area, so you
bso, also from coral springs, they are all i guess they are devising a plan. it seems they are focused on this one building to the right. you see the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. officers are standing just outside of an open door to that building and they ve not gone in but standing there and waiting. the guns are out but not necessarily raised in a manner in which they were about to go in. so again, we re watching and waiting with you all as to what is happening at marjorie stoneman douglas high school at 1501 pine island road in parkland. this is at exit 14 on saw grass and down coral ridge drive and might a right on homeberg and you are right there and and then about three miles away with the middle school west glades. now it looks like more kids are running out of the school once again. yeah. hands up and this is got to be
the car. but again, this kicked off probably about 2:30 or so that we got reports of an active shooter at marjorie stoneman douglas high school in parkland florida on pine island road and ever since then we have been watching the situation unfold. we did see at least one person leave in an ambulance and that was early on in this situation. but since then, we ve just seen basically s.w.a.t., coral springs police and the sheriff s department which has jurisdiction in parkland just combing the area going around the building and the campus looking for that active shooter and when they can they are getting kids out of the school. the kids who have been on lockdown hiding in their closed and locked classrooms for safety. an this is the scene i was describing a few minutes ago that the officers there you see the doors kicked off and propped open by a s.w.a.t. officer. and they are all just standing there. doesn t seem like a huge sense of urgency but they could not go into the building ju
