Reporter it was all of those things, jessica, yes it waszv powerful and great collection of this community. So many people that we talked to today around this town just said, i cant believe its happening here to our town, but it is happening chere. These are conversations that were having at all of our dinner tables across the country and places of worship and our offices and school about why tonight was a nice way for people here in San Bernardino to kind of reflect and try to move forward. We talked about the people, the business at hand, and it is a u job for these First Responders to come on to the scene quickly. But this is amazing. We spoke with just earlier tonight, lieutenant mike madden who described what he saw÷u whe he entered the scene yesterday at around 11 00 a. M. It was unspeakable, the carnage that we were seeing, the number of people who weres injured. And unfortunately already dead. And the pure panic on the face of those individuals that were still in need and needing to be safe. We asked we got as many people out as quickly as we could. Estimated talking with the other officers who were with me, probably 50 people responded passed us and out the doors. And then wec went further into the building and that was a difficult choice to have to make, as well, passing people that we knew were injuredc and needing assistance. But our goal at that time had to be trying to locate the shooters and dealc with them. We never want to take forgranted the jobs and duties first responsibilities. We want to take lieutenant mike  of officers here in the area.

San bernardino, river side, all of us, the inland empire, were all here as a fpar y. Reporter thank you, ill let you go now. Sorry about your loss. Reporter it is difficult and emotional for so many people the questions and the answers arent very easy.
