in new york city are sending out alerts on this matter. we don t know the full extent and waiting to find out exactly what we can learn. this is breaking news from the local newspaper. multiple deaths reporting from shooting rampbage at ucc umpqua community college. the first reports came 10:45 a.m. on the west coast. exactly one hour ago now. which is part of the reason that the information has been so scattered. we got the information early but we couldn t get the rest of it quickly enough. gunman has shot up toward wards of 20 people on campus. scanner reports indicate the suspect is down. multiple ambulances on scene. early reports indicate 15 people are dead. students reporting on social media they are trapped inside classrooms. we spoke with one a short time ago. trapped might not be the right word to use by shulterring in
information right now is this college of about 3,000 full-time students, 16,000 part-time students is on lockdown. swat teams are on scene going building to building. they have a set of keys. they re not breaking down doors. we don t know if it s to check for more people or clear the buildings and look for more victims. the victim number keeps going up. we re not going to give you exact numbers but we can tell you the numbers we keep getting keep going up. the reason for my hesitation and i know you re in similar situation, this is the location right along the five freeway. the coast over here washington state above. the small town of roseburg right here directly on interstate five. i might as well show you why it is we re being to hesitant about these numbers. for instance, this is one of our recording services that we use daily. they re citing scanner reports. they really aren t good enough
night. it s unbelievable considering the signatures that we saw on the radar today. yes, there are shingles off and plywood. this is not moore. this is not what we saw in moore, anywhere across the city yet. and we re not getting anymore more scanner reports of massive damage. right now, it s been trying to get around without getting caught in the floodwaters. i just got this e-mail from cnn weather center. 23 tornadoes struck over missouri, kansas, iowa and illinois. we see the video from one of those storm chasers now. i d like to go back, if we can, to those live pictures. if you can tell whomever is holding that camera with you, to pan down. are we looking at a vehicle upside down? in front of a house. describe this for us. that s a pickup top on its top, with no place left for an
behind their vehicles while the early shootout was underway. and we are just getting more scanner reports that the ammunition continues to go off now. and we told you earlier the fire department has been told to stand down. they are doing nothing. they are going to wait until this thing burns itself out. the fire department is there for precautionary measures to make sure it doesn t spread to any other cabins or any other trees so they can at least preserve whatever evidence is still inside. at this point in time there is no desire by anybody on the ground to put this fire out. we talked to the fbi, investigator earlier who said they believe christopher dorner is dead inside that cabin. when it is done they will be able it to i.d. what was in there. able to i.d. his remains. move on with this investigation or close this investigation as it were right now the fire continues to burn. we speculated earlier they wanted this thing done before
we hated to go with this. it s very fluid. we heard couple scanner reports of police officers down, not one but two times. we are tempering this with the fact that none of this has been confirmed. that is why we re going plodding along. we re awaiting, they are still flying to the scene. it should take them 10-12 minutes to actually get to the mountain so they can get a better idea what is going on. in a situation like this, you may have police waving off the helicopters so they don t give too much away. neil: i want to bring people up to speed. the biggest manhunt in california history, it seems to be coming to a fiery conclusion and potentially deadly one. christopher dorner is in in a
