dramatic and that s what the ntsb official mentioned in the intro you just tossed to. also, we have spoken to several parents who told us they have previously complained to the school board in the past about this man s driving. in fact, we spoke to the godfather of one of the little girls who died. the godfather of zoie nash. my heart goes out for them. we ve heard all different types of stories. we heard there was a lot of complaints about this guy who was driving the bus. we don t know for sure. but if there was, that should be investigated all the way to the top. reporter: there is a police presser in an hour and another at 5:00 p.m. today. i m standing in front of the hospital where six children are still being treated.
we are awaiting this police presser. i have to say, if you re watching this, as we ve watched this unfold all day, there s a certain numbness that has set in, i think, among many people, many observers, people even in the news business on what we call mass shootings day. those are days we come to the office and at some point during the day, we get word that someone has engaged in a mass shooting somewhere in this country, whether that s in colorado springs in planned parenthood, whether it s at a community college in oregon, as happened recently as well. today unfolded in a particularly horrific way. and particularly baffling way. the initial report of multiple shooters were baffling when people didn t think this target appeared to be any kind of plausible ideological or terroristic target and yet there were multiple shootering. the fact that this was a county health department that was holding this banquet in this conference call inside the inland region center, which is a social serv
through that center to use its services and a tremendous amount of worried calls throughout the day. folks reconnecting at the hernandez center as the officials go through who exactly is accounted for. it appears, at this moment, that we know, or at least officials knows the names have not been released who the dead are and who the wounded are. all of that had been accounted for. what has not been accounted for is that last suspect, as we await this police presser. jim, you were talking earlier today, talk a little bit about part of the strangeness of watching this story unfold. when we heard multiple shooters in the day, i think a lot of folks, both in law enforcement and people who have reported on these situations in the past, immediately had a skept l reaction to this being possible, multiple shooters. explain why that kind of skepticism was there in the beginning. well, when you have a lot of these mass shootings by someone
lot, did this person come on foot? a lot of this is interviewing people. who saw what, trying to match up information and determine did he come on foot, did he come in a car, was he dropped off. what does the video look like? who can help us understand what we have here? ron, thank you so much, standby because we could be getting a police presser not too long from now. more information at this point what we do know police tell us they are still encountering gunfire. we ve heard from two local hospitals that six people have been transported to the hospital. the police tell us three of theirs, three officers have been injured. i m joined here in new york by harry houck, a cnn law enforcement analyst, former nypd detective, also by jonathan gillian, former navy s.e.a.l. jonathan, still encountering gunfire. right. what does that tell you? well, it tells me that they probably are getting a better idea if not knowing for sure where this shooter is at.
taken to an area hospital and is being worked on as we speak. there were as many as 30 to 50 people estimates trapped inside that temple. police tactical forces were inside the facility which is about 17,000 square feet. there you see it, a large facility that they had to sweep through and check the nooks and crannies for the possibility of a second gunman. that so far has not been confirmed. we are awaiting another press conference in about 30 minutes. i would like to welcome our viewers here in the united states and our viewers from around the world. i m don lemon here at the cnn head quarters in atlanta. we are speaking now and getting more information on sikhism and this particular group that was preparing for worship here. thank you so much for joining us. earlier we were getting more context saying this particular sect was part of a group and according to him it was hindu sikh. why would he say that? we know sikhs are not muslims and people are saying sikhs cannot be
