Schools will continue to be closed into friday as well as continue to ask the question, when will this suspect because. Omar, thank you very much. Now lets go to Josh Campbell, hes been working the sources since the story josh, center of this what are you learning from your sources about what is going on Behind The Scenes in the search, its terrifying, this is a person that was willing to kill 18 people and a whole lot more who is on the loose right now. Who knows how much firepower . Authorities worry the suspect in contact at chanel violence if hes not found. Im told what is happening Behind The Scenes, the scene and unseen, the fury of Police Activity there, multiple agencies, and Behind The Scenes im told that Law Enforcement has set up a social Media Exploitation Team pouring over the suspects online accounts, trying to look for any information that about his intentions, china edited by any law against to help geolocating the whereabouts. And identify any potential associates that could be used that was witnesses. A lot of action taking place Behind The Scenes, its worth noting, erin, that our colleague reported that authorities recovered a firearm in the suspects vehicle. Theyre working to determine if that was the firearm that was used in this attack, we know this was an individual whos a Firearms Instructor and had multiple weapons. Even if it turns out to be the gun that was using the Mass Shooting, Authorities Say they continue to treat him as Armed And Dangerous, erin. Maybe dont know what you dont now. Josh, the man hunt is massive year. They are so worried that the top is clicking, you have Law Enforcement flooding the area and we heard omar talking about the look in the water, where his car was parked by the doc, what more can you tell us . A multitude of agencies, when you look at this list we have the state police in maine or leaving the investigation along with local Law Enforcement. There are other agencies with specialties in firearm analysis, with specialties and fugitive apprehension, the u. S. Coast guard is theyre searching the waterways to try identify the individual, and a host of other agencies from the department of Homeland Security all bringing resources to bear. Bringing the assistance as the manhunt continues into our 24, trying to find this person and get him off the streets, aaron. Its been exactly 24 hours on the run. He still far alluded Law Enforcement. Thank you very much, josh, lets go to former fbi Counter Terrorism Special Agent, tim clemente, and former fbi rob damico, thank you to both of you and weve spoken to you through the years. Obviously, with the boston bomber as well, tim, youre a former squad member, 24 hours and what are you doing right now if youre part of this manhunt . First of all, were being as careful as we cannot going as quickly as possible but utmost importance in a situation like this. This is an active shooter that hasnt been active for 24 hours but he is still a mass murderer. The fact that he is on the latest put anyone in the community in danger of where he might be. His willingness to go into a Bowling Alley and obliterate the place, kill as many people as a could, means theres probably no safe spot for anyone right now in that vicinity. Law enforcement needs to act as if hes standing in front of the target about to pull the trigger, they need to move quickly, they need to be as safe as they can, the population needs to be maintain their safety first. , robbery looking for him and do you read anything into the car at the boat dock . I do. I think most of it was planned beforehand. He probably went through this a number of times. There is a reason that that car was there. But it could be he had about, he had a car, he knew cars where there had keys left in it, there is a reason that that was there. The biggest thing is to determine did he get in another vehicle, did he go on foot, did he go by water, that really dictates how the man hunt will be. Time and space, does he have a vehicle, he could be further away, if you went on foot, it gets more dangerous, but you can use technology to help separate and try to detect him at a safer distance instead of putting Patrol Officers and teams compromised. Cam, what do you make of the fact that it appears that he had an exit plan . These incidents unfortunately are horrific in america, they happen which is unacceptable and yet real. He had an exit plan, what does that say to you . Well, erin, as weve covered in so many of these tragedies over the years, a lot of these situations and what the murderer committing suicide or suicide by cop. Its clear at least at the outset that that wasnt his immediate plan. It doesnt mean that he hasnt gone unchallenged shot himself ahead in the quarter, it may be the eventuality that we find in this case. The fact that he fled, didnt stay for a standoff with police, didnt Tell Him Self A Mediately on the scene, its happened so many times, it tells me has the will to live. We dont have a motive yet as to why he went into those places, that will to live means hell fight against Law Enforcement if he encounters them. Tim and rob, stay with me, i want to go to brian todd, hes near the home where card was loan to last the scene, a lot of activity it seems they returned to the home. Brian, we have issues with lighting here but you could see, tell us what youre seeing right now . Right, karen, the reason why you have issues with lighting is police have come into positions wearing almond told me to turn off our lights, or creating a dangerous situation for Law Enforcement if we had our lights on. Our lights are off, all step away from the camera, what weve just seen is multiple, multiple Law Enforcement vehicles coming up to the last known address of the suspect, robert card, its to the left aware the Flashing Lights are, between the two sets of Flashing Lights to the left, i know you cant see anything between those two, thats where it is, theres a lot of fbi and Law Enforcement evidence trucks that have pulled into here. Earlier are team witnessed the fbi and other Law Enforcement approach the house and use flashbacks to enter the house. That is standard procedure according to john miller and josh carroll we, Josh Campbell, its standard procedure at any cases where they try to approach a house and they are not sure whether the suspect might be in there or not. They use flash bags for the shock effect, the speed to get into the house. We after that they wear their processing staff, and then vehicles left and of course now they have just come back. That is what youre seeing. There is someone speaking on a loudspeaker, i cant make out what he is saying. My colleague said that he said, walk outside with your hand up. So, erin, thats what i can tell you what were witnessing right now. Lets keep these pictures up, brian, while youre with us if you can, tim, walk outside with your hands up, flash bangs, they think hes in there right now . They think hes somewhere right there, doesnt mean hes in the house, theyre moving to the left side as the reporter just stated might be that there is a wooded area or a shatters something. And its possible that they saw movement or heard something, theyre acting as if its him even though it may be a dog or another person, they need to treat it as if its Armed And Dangerous individual might be there. Brian, is there anything else that theyve said, i havent heard the loudspeaker again . Your underestimate . Im trying to make out what theyre saying, erin. One of the person said, under arrest, we also saw Law Enforcement personnel fanning into the field near his house to the left there before this unfolded. You can see that they got a spotlight on a window in the house, you can see that now. They have just said removing the camera over, i see that spotlight. Yeah. One person was heard saying, we dont want anyone else getting her. I see you zooming and. More watching this. [inaudible] i believe they called his name, erin. They said they knew he was inside. You are watching right now police in bowdoin, may, in the spotlight is on the house of the shooter, mr. Card, on the second floor window of the house they said youre under our russ, come out with your hands up and theyve spoken his name. Do you have any sense, brian, where youre standing right now, you said multiple, multiple Law Enforcement is there a ring of them, i know it start, they asked you to standing there in the dark. Any sense of how many there are . We dont really, erin, we know there were several vehicles. Im trying to make out what he is saying. Yes, yes. [inaudible] aaron, and they told him to walk outside. And asked if there was anyone else in there. Can somebody help me attach this . As were watching this, cam, anything stand out about how theyre handling this right now . I can see they have an Armored Vehicle, i imagine theyre using that for cover and the Police Armrests that arent in that Armored Vehicle are using the doors are Engine Blocks for cover, this guys got an ar, hes gotten affective range of 600 meters, theyre well within the range. They have an overwhelming firepower but it doesnt mean you cant harm one of them. Theyre obviously losing this to cover, calling him out rather than going in after him. This could end up being a long standoff where he make him up quickly, but i doubt very much that anyone will enter the building other than maybe using another Armored Vehicle to ram the structure we, thats the only way i see it briefing the situation. Rob, what do you see again, remind everyone what youre seeing, bleak darkness, the means to the police have asked the media to turn it off. Were listening. Ive had cases like this. They couldve seen something, sent a robot, something in that theyre not sure if its a person. Theyre gonna talk about like its a person until they can prove otherwise. Theyre not gonna go into the house, theres all kinds of reasons n
