Transcripts For KTVU KTVU Fox 2 News At 4pm 20151203 : compa

Fox news correspondent adam housley live in San Bernadino. Actually we will go to Jonathan Hunt who is also live on the scene. Jonathan . Greta, just about a little under an hour ago that black suv that you have seen was surrounded by police. Some sort of gun battle ensued. We understand that there was some firing from that vehicle and as you can see from the pictures of it, if you have those available, it was riddled with returned fire by the vast number of police and other Law Enforcement agents who surrounded the vehicle. We understand that there were at least two people inside it possibly a third one who may or may not be on the run. At this stage we simply dont know. This is unfolding as we speak. Certainly we have seen one person on the ground laying in a pool of blood. Another person appeared to be in the backseat of that vehicle. And police used some sort of device to push out that person who appeared not to be alive any longer. This all began some five hours ago, a short distance from where im standing at the Inland Regional Center. That is a center. Jonathan, we have got to go to Shepard Smith in new york. This is not over. One suspect or someone believed to be a suspect in custody. Two others dead in the street. Police speaking live now. Listen. Officers that are working this active shooter case were doing followup work when they located what they appeared to be the suspects vehicle. Somehow during that contact shots were exchanged between the suspects and the officers. One officer was injured. However, he was transported to a local hospital and it does not appear to be a lifethreatening injury. I believe he is a San Bernadino police officer. Additionally, some suspects or a suspect has been hit. I believe there is still possibly a suspect outstanding. So it is still, again, a very active, fluid situation. We dont have a lot of answers yet. They are still trying to. Here is some of that fluid situation. Nearby, just about a third of a mile away from this location, the police have now surrounded a church. Cut off the News Conference now because frankly they are not reporting on this. They have surrounded this church. And we have just gotten word from a witness on scene that says that a man came up to him who he believed to be a suspect, then ran into this building, which is sometimes being described as a church, sometimes being described as a home. We believe its a combination of the two, actually. And police have now surrounded this church. We believe that a suspect has barricaded himself inside this church. Authorities are are now working to communicate with this person and bring this situation to an end. So far we have two dead in the street on San Bernadino avenue. One person in custody who is believed to be a suspect. And now they have surrounded this church area which is an active scene. We are waiting for people on scene to give us more information on that. We have multiple reports saying that this suspect may have a member of the Los Angeles County Fire Department has said that according to the San Bernadino Police Department, they are getting records that one suspect may have run across a runway and authorities have now been searching for that. This is the location that they now have surrounded, according to people on the ground. One man inside. Authorities attempted to approach. And now they are trying to make contact. Obviously tensions are very high. There is no way to know for authorities exactly how many people may have been involved. Remember, at the beginning of this, it was first said to be multiple suspects. Then the authorities told us in a News Conference upwards of three. The question all along has been might they have had a driver for this get away vehicle, the dark suv as it was described. Shepard, i you think the one thing that we have to keep emphasizing that while it certainly is enor mufsly suspicious that they are tied to this massacre which has gunned down 14 people that we have yet to officially tie these to the actual massacre. It could just be that these are three other horrible people on the run shooting at police. It certainly is suspicious. But right now they have not been tied. Actually, greta. One witness said is he saw a black vehicle drive away. The spokesperson for the San Bernadino Police Department has just said that these are the suspects. The two of the suspects in this afternoons shooting were shot and killed in the shootout that happened on the street, which is un here is what is unclear to police, according to police at this moment. Whats unclear to police is whether they have all of the suspects. Which takes us to this church which they now have surrounded. And the person with whom they want to have contact will not come out. According to witnesses in the area, the police have now sent out a directive for all people in this area to remain in their homes. To lock their doors and not come outside. They have tried to make contact. The person will not come out. Therefore they have surrounded the building and we wait as they do. And the police are going to come back in 40 minutes with another press conference with an update. If you look there, we have one person spread out on this vehicle and authorities are searching. Thats not surprising at all. Anybody who might be in this neighborhood if they cant be sure if this is a friendly or a foe, just as happened after the shooting people would put their hands up. They will all be frisked. Make sure that the area is say. That the personal is not a danger to anyone. But what we are watching right now really is uncertain. One of our information specialists with new information heren opt fox news deck about what we are seeing. Chris, live pictures. Hey, shep. To nbc la is saying that the officers are now relocating to a residence. They are moving their attention away from that church. They are calling for backup and air support. Its near davidson street. They say that there is possible movement at a residence and it seems to be whats happening at the moment. Greta, its a very fluid situation. Authorities havent known from the very beginning and they were quite clear with us that they werent really sure about how many people were involved. L. A. County Fire Department a tweet from bernie deo, a member of the los angeles Fire Department has just sent. This units at 1003 east breyer want air unit to check the roof of these parking structures. Reports of shots fired in the area of a chipotle there. So we are getting lots of reports, greta indicate this is not yet over. Clearly authorities are staged here as you can see. Their guns are drawn. And were just waiting iftofind out whether they have someone inside there as im sure they are. And, yet, we still and while this is an active man hunt to get these killers, we still dont know what the world with a the motive for doing this vicious act descending upon these people. The scene people have been watching all day, this is a business complex which takes care of disabled people but there was a private party there today; is that right, shep . Thats right. We know that they believe there is another suspect. We dont know the reason they believe that. But they have told us that they believe there is another suspect. They have told the residents to shelter in place. They started at the church. There were then multiple reports in the neighborhood of shots fired. Then now they are surrounding this elm hop. They have asked for more air units to come in. Building around the area and as you can see authorities surrounding. This whats most suspicious, of course, is they want to talk to this person and they have made an effort to do so knowing whats going on in the area. That person has not come out that in and of itself is suspicious. Authorities with guns drawn there in San Bernadino. So far have there been authorities with guns drawn there in San Bernadino. So far have there been any reports about anything that the killers said while they were inside . Did they say anything as they were opening fire . Any witnesses come out and say anything . We have no indication that the witness has said anything to authorities. From the very beginning of this, one thing that we have noted, at least from the reporting of authorities, that no suspects have said anything through the course of this. The information has come to us from authorities there on scene. And two different witnesses. One of whom was very specific. A witness who was inside at the time, and was actually shot was one of the victims in there. Said that when she was inside the room when one of the people who was attending the meeting became angry. We dont know angry over. T that, went outside, and then came back with a couple of other people and the shooting began. Now, they escaped from there. Was there a get away driver . We dont know. Two people shot and killed at that shootout on San Bernadino boulevard. Another person who was wandering the neighborhood said to have been brought into custody. That person was described as a suspect. That is not to say that its definitive that that person was connected with this scene. We cant say that yet because police havent told us that yet. But we can tell you that Police Believe that this active situation happening now is related to the shooting that happened this morning in San Bernadino. They have. You know what, shep, its so peculiar though, if someone went into a meeting and angry and left, where do you go out and find three others to help you go back in so quickly with masks ready to go. This seems so it seems more planned than just anger. There is no question. Police have said from the very beginning that this was clearly planned. They are there in Tactical Gear with long guns, black masks on their faces according to multiple witnesses. Though the authorities havent told us that with certainty. The authorities didnt know the race of the people. So it would suggest that their faces were covered. This is is the location of where the Business Solution system and this is the chipotle where the area thats been surrounded. There were shots fired in this area. And now they have this area surrounded. And live pictures over here show us where the police are. So, there are a lot of different scenes happening at one time now, greta, to the best of our knowledge there is one person for whom they are still looking. And at this point they are looking inside this home that authorities have surrounded. While they are doing this manhunt and hopefully. About what this meeting was about . Who was meeting . Well, there are various reports on that. Because, its our understanding that there were a number of meetings going on at the time. The initial report was that there were some county officials who had rented this particular Conference Room within this center aisle so that they could have some sort of a Christmas Party. Others described it, including authorities, as a meeting where they would make decisions about things. Thats as specific as they have been. Now we know that whoever was in there, escaped and then now they are here. The background, i think, is going to come together at some point. Can you see police are moving in right now. They are going past this red colored suv. The camera is now moving away to another area. Can you see authorities are. They are on the move for something here and they are going in between these homes. The reports we got a short tomb ago through our Network News Service station kabc that residents in the area, multiple residents have telephoned police saying we see a man running through the neighborhood jumping fences. Remember somebody was taken into custody. We dont know yet whether that person was related to this incident. Enough to they are moving in on this particular residence. You can see they have canine dogs here. They are carrying long guns and gone over inside this area thats shaded there by a tarp of sorts. And authorities have made their way in there. There are more police back here. So they have three lines of defense. They clearly believe they have someone armed and dangerous here, greta. We will see how this plays out. And, of course, whoever is in there, if that person wont come out, that person really is has nothing to lose. Greta, they have turned around now and apparently whatever they were looking for in there they didnt find because wouldnt turn their backs to that location unless they were sure that whatever they were looking for is not there. So they are searching now house to house after these reports of someone in the neighborhood jumping fences. They believe they have another suspect or that they may. They werent sure about the number of suspects from the very beginning because how do you know if they drove away on their own or if they had a get away driver waiting . If so, that would mean as many as four. So theyre most likely acting on the side of caution, greta. Shep, adam housley is about a block away from there. Adam, what do you know . Adam cant hear us someone isolated in the house so they thought, thousand they are randomly going through the neighborhood. I get the sense they dont have a target. The sense that we get is that they know somebody is there and running around, they just cant find this somebody. Can you see they are going in the side door of a home here. Now you see the satellite dish there, making theyre way through the back fence, going house to house. They are looking for someone. The question is will they be able to find this person. And if you are police officers, how would you know . Have they taken somebody hostage . Whats the situation with this person . There is simply no way to know. They are flying blind in there, greta. As we continue to watch this search, this meeting that this person and we dont know if this is linked to it but the person who got angry and left, i take it the person is part of the meeting. They know the identity of the person someone they didnt know . Our understanding is we dont have those person was involved does anybody have that right through . What kind of meeting . Well, you know, if an Environmental Health Services Meeting for the county. The Environmental Health Services Meeting was happening inside this building. This meeting is open to the public. Im presuming that one can come in and give comment somebody in that meeting became angry and went outside. This is not to suggest that somebody went inside and shoot it up. The police have been very clear with us, greta that this was planned. You dont all of a sudden have Tactical Gear and long guns. We now have adam. Adam housley, you are a block away . Yeah, greta, we are here a couple blocks away. We were live counsel the street. They moved us all back the reason why because of that situation. I know your house, your wife is not far from where this is taking place. In fact, she is hiding right now. She is in the closet right now. I received a call from her, frankly a call from her stating that she heard numerous gunshots being fired. She was scared to come out or nearby because it sounded so close to each other. Im headed over here down waterman trying to make a left turn on to the intersection. You i just started seeing all kinds of police officers. In the area. But, yeah, during the call i kept hearing the gunshots just going off everywhere. Im trying to get home and im being stopped from even getting to the house. Now its all coming to the matter if the suspect one of them apparently dead and probably another one and one barricaded down the street. From people not around here, this is a quadrant of the city to the east. The shooting took place on the street here, greta, if you were to go to the right of us. The suspect barricaded everyone is moving back from there whats it like knowing your life is inside. She called you. Heard initial gunshots, barricaded nearby in a closet. Its very scary because she works down the street from where this took place. And she has been locked in her office throughout most of the day. In front of her house, its mind wrecking for her. I feel helpless not being able to be there with her and comfort her and let her know its going to be all right. Right now she cant talk on the phone thats how scared she is. Adam she got evacuated from her office where shooting and come home to have the shooting in front of her house. Yes, sir. Right now tell me about the situation she is when you talked to her last. She is inside the closet. She swat moving around in the area. Adam, let me ask you a question about the shooting. Is there any indication gunshots the woman heard in the closet are those coming from the police or the person they are pursuing, does anyone know . I suspect it was the shootout. She heard the actual shootout in front of the house, correct . Yeah. In fact, greta, im going to show you. Move away from the tape to talk to jesus, we were down a few hundred yards down the street a half an hour ago before they moved us back. When they moved us back we thought it was because they were expanding the scene. You know how it happens on crime scenes. What they were moving us back for is they just had that barricade situation. Thats when i bumped into jesus who was trying to go in to see his wife because she just called to say there was a barricaded situation. You can see the helicopter circle. The official helicopter. The news chopper getting video from are much higher and zoomed in. Use clearance to much lower level. You can can see Tactical Teams down here. Pulled some of the teams out and went around the block basically to go over toward that home. If you were to go right toward those people where lance is now where the stoplight is. Thats where that initial gun battle ended. It started about 150 yards where we were earlier where the glass was on the street it carried on for a couple hundred yards that initial gun battle. The barricade situation, if you were looking at the gun battle from our perspec
