as far as sightings of the suspect, who is still on the run, they re getting multiple reports of sightings of this individual but different locations that they haven t been able to confirm. they re saying basically anyone who is a black male on the street right now with a hoodie, someone is calling about them. they are trying to follow up these credible leads. no status on those victims that were shot and, again, a hard perimeter of about a mile has been put up around this area where the incident initially happened during the lunchtime hour in midtown. this is still very much an active situation and a very fluid situation. no update on the conditions of those victims but the mother is cooperating with police and he was there for a medical appointment for himself. they declined to give further details because of hipa. they want people to pay attention that about a mile around that area is locked down currently. your understanding is that the suspect is on the run, that the s
have to take a deep breath and realize a hospital leader is talking about their own mass casualty protocols. these are put in place because they anticipate not a single victim or two victims, they were expecting up to 12. that means in lay person s terms, they would have locked down the hospital, you wouldn t have a change of shift. it means e.r. areas or rooms are prepared for, you know, 10, 12, 14 people to come in as you would lock down from visitors in this case since it s a smaller number, only four of the families have probably been identified. that s sort of what our pe protocols. they have been released and are back to standard operating procedure. they department have the kind of violence they worried about when they got the first call.
