into that school seeking shelter. she said they weren t injured except for a man that fell while trying to escape. but this is a sich wagts and, kate, if we look at the shot there on the right-hand side where demonstrates the inland regional medical center, see the road. across from that, the green space is the golf course. that s where folks have been taken to gather by police officials who have evacuated them. and then you kind of see the circular road that goes around in a back ward c that this is an open area where any asill lant could come in and park. but then could get back this their car as jim cavanaugh was talking to get back out on that artery there, waterman road. just to add to what sandra wood said to us, she s in a gray building on the bottom of the screen, she said that she heard from people who were in the
they says the conference rooms honz 200 to 300 people, normally the room we have our conferences in. plus there s also a library there. the a.p. is also reporting that it s an outside group renting that conference room space today. that was that it was a conference art, jibes with what we were told by sandra who was on the phone with us at the school for the blind. sandra wood said she had come from what she described as a conference center. we re fairly sure, from the associated press, reporting that this happened in a conference center. correct. one thing we can also reassure or viewers of, because i think there s been a lot of concern, just to remind everybody, this is taped turnaround that we re
all of us are safe. our building is locked. the detectives have told us don t let anyone in and don t let anyone out. i m looking out my window and there s really not a lot happening. there s just some police presence and they re standing guard. how close are you, sandra, to the inland regional center that we have been talking about and the campus that we are looking at? maybe 200, 300 feet away. oh, okay. are you next door essentially? across the street. across the street. what street are you on? we are just south of the actual meeting room where this shooting took place. it was in a meeting room? i believe so. it was in a conference room. who have you heard that from? at the regional center. several people that were in the room ran across the street for cover. so they ran from a conference room and into your building.
building that was the subject of this attack that they were in a conference room and just to add that to, that associated press reporting also right now in a conference area that the shooting first took place. the a.p. reporting that potentially there might be another group, an outside group renting that space. so it s possible that it had, you know, the group that was in there had nothing to do with what normally goes on on that campus and serving people with disabilities and just getting very initial information and sandra wood did she did hear from the three people that ran for cover that those people who were witnesses to the attack seen a gunman in black gear who shot an assault rifle and they were in a conference room when that happened. one thing to see craoss, as well. authorities searching for a suspect vehicle and, kalt, pointing out there on the lower right-hand side screen, see the parked cars there for the center.
