In their custody. Now the victims, more than 20 its going to shake up not only people are wounded and 22 your community, congresswoman. Specifically being treated at it will shake up the country and local hospitals and 11 at one our viewers around the world who are watching right now are going hospital and 11 at another to continue to ask what is going on and then they will ask the hospital. An official at the el paso next question, what can be done Mayors Office saying there are to stop this . Multiple fatalities, multiple because as you correctly point out weve gone through too many fatalities. The exact number of people of these horrendous mass killed is still not known or at least has not yet been released shootings in our country in recent years. Publicly. Here is what were hearing among other things from eyewitnesses. Wolf, we have the solution. They are right in front of us, i was in a sports store and a what we need is the will to act little kid runs in there and as a country, and we have to at says there is an active shooter some point say at walmart, but me and the guy didnt pay him no mind because hes a little kid and i walked enough, and we have to ask out and i go to footlocker and ourselves how many more wakeup all i hear is pop, pop, and all calls does this country need . I i am imploring that those i know is think my gun to think of us who have the capacity and past and the footlocker closed the cage and some people lifted the power to make change, that we Work Together to end this it and they got so scared and they wanted to get out. Epidemic. I seen a whole bunch of kids this is needless. Running out without their parents and i picked up as many there are families in tear, as i could and another guy did weeping right now and it did not as well. Im sorry, im shaking. Have to be this way. I cant think. And i just peeled out and i just hope the kids make it safe, man, it is so heartbreaking to because there were a whole bunch think and we dont know the nature of the victims. Of kids without the parents and i was more worried about the we know 22 people were taken to kids than myself. Two local hospitals. You heard the shots . We know there are multiple yeah. He did, too. Tell us how this feels like. Fatalities, and what is so awful im in the military, and it feels different for me because were trained to when you and every victim is so sad, but hear gunshots and pull out your weapon and think fast. Presumably well hear about kids being shot at this mall and it i really wasnt worried about is going to be so awful when we myself. I just picked up the kids and hear that, congresswoman. I assume youve spent some time carried them with me and me and the other guy did and we made it through dillards. At the local mall and you know i really wasnt worried about about the people who go there myself. What did you think about and youve seen the mall in action. Its never going to be the same. What ran through your mind when it was the shooting, wolf, you hearded shots . Im in the military. My understanding is that it took its a feeling that you cant place on the same property as explain, you know what im the mall, but at the walmart saying . You heart is all you think is that is right next to the mall, pull out your weapon and think and the shooter or shooters were fast. What were the kids they were running around not were not completely sure crying. Just running around and all i could think about was the kids. I think about it if my child, if yet how many if there was just one or if there were two, started in the parking lot and i had one, what i would want walked into the walmart and someone else to do and i pecked there is, unfortunately, very graphic video that has been them up a them up and the other guy did as circulating and i would well. Encourage folks not to watch it. I couldnt go back and i it is far too traumatizing. Tried my best me and the other guy as many but then there were reports that out as possible and thats all that was. The shooter or a shooter then i couldnt really do nothing. Went into the adjacent mall and thank you. That was u. S. Army specialist glendon oakley and we spoke to all of that is still being him earlier as well and he is pieced together. So i am not sure if anyone went totally understandably shaken by in after all or not, but the what he saw and he tried to protect the little kids who were in that mall and a lot of mall went on lockdown and shopping and going on back to everyone was doing Everything Possible to keep folks safe.

C. Custody. Chief ramsey, give us your it is a male, and it no longer thoughts as you just heard that is an active shooting situation. It is a homicide scene situation painf painful conversation we had and the video that is coming in. Yeah, this is really going to according to the El Paso Police be bad once the numbers are finally released. You have people outside the department, but really a tragedy building probably inside the for one of the safest cities in building, as well. The world that this is happening you know, they keep saying they have one in custody. Here at home. Representative blanco, you its important to note i dont think we know the condition of the person in custody. Say 19 people have been shot. We dont. That doesnt necessarily mean we dont know if that person theyve been killed, is that was shot or if theyre in any right . No. However, i am receiving reports from our Level One Trauma Center condition to be interviewed at that they are receiving numerous all and this is not going to be good at all especially when you patients coming in with with start seeing victims in the parking lot. He was probably shooting before he even got in there he was injuries from the location. Already shooting. So my concern is that its going so thats thats terrible. To be north of that number. Terrible. Jonathan what was your eventually, we have been told analysis based on what we saw . From the University Medical wolf, these are unpredictable center of el paso that theyve received 11 victims and the del and dynamic situations. Sol Medical Center has received they can occur at any moment, and the key is here to survival another 11 people, that would be is maintaining situational 22. Where are you getting the 19 number from . Awareness and having a these are local reports from protection plan. Our from the local police we saw the benefits of that in the videos. We see people following dhs department in coordination with the state police, but obviously, recommendations to run, hide and these numbers are always in flux fight. People who can run and create distance from the threat did it, as its a chaotic situation, but but people who could not they hid, they tried to hide from look, you know, i do know that that threat. Listen, these are survival tactics at this point in time. To my understanding that it was an assault weapon that was its tragic that we are talking about this, but it is a utilized which could provide necessary conversation that we must have. Are we going to need to do mass casualties. My understanding based on these what is done in big parts of reports that the shooter began shooting in a parking lot area europe and the middle east, if you go to a mall in tel aviv, and and as of this moment for example, in israel, you have to go through security and you have to go through metal only one suspect has been detectors, chief ramsey, is that apprehended and no knowledge of going to be necessary here in the United States . Any other suspects. I sure hope not, but i mean, when the police the we do have to take a look, a Authorities Say there have been serious look at security. Multiple fatalities have they today its a mall. Weve had churches. Indicated an approximate number weve had schools. I mean, you know, venues like concerts i mean, we do need of killed . To take a look, a strong look at state police has not been firmed anyone killed at this security, but this is the United States, too. Point. So were waiting to hear back there is freedom of movement. People will come and go. From those report, but you know, you look at malls. You can leave a parking lot and walk right into the store that this is such a tragedy in our you want to go to. They have numerous ways to get community. We have been victims in our in and out. It would be very difficult to really shut that down the Way Community of a shooting not long you would like to for purposes of security. Ago at one of our va hospital so, yeah, we need to look at it, but we need to be reasonable in facilities here in el paso and our approach, too. Nothing of this magnitude. Everybody stand by.
