They knocked on the door and the person who opened the door, we believe at this point, shot at firefighters. But were still trying to get that clarified as they are right now getting ready to hold this press conference, lets pan over and listen in here. Good evening. The Prince Georges County Fire Department to give you basic information on the event that occurred tonight. At approximately 7 30 this evening, members of the Prince Georges County Fire Department and Police Department were called to the address 5007 sharon road. Because a resident had been communicating with a concerned individual. That that resident might be experiencing some sort of a medical condition. So the firefighters and Police Officers were there to lend aid. The resident in the home was not responsive, so a decision was made to gain entry into the home and check on that persons welfare. As that was unfolding, the individual inside the home fired a number of rounds, striking two Prince Georges County firefighters and the concerned individual who had led Public Safety to that address during the course of the evening. At this point the individual who was in that residence who fired those shots is in Police Custody at our criminal investigations division. Hes being cooperative and we are having a conversation with both him and the concerned resident that brought this circumstance to our attention initially. At this point im going to ask assistant chief barksdale to me about his firefighters and i will be available to answer any questions you have after that. Thank you, chief. As the chief said that when the units arrived the on the scene around 7 30 this evening to render assistance, shots were fired and they called out for assistance and two were critically injured, one was transported to shock trauma in baltimore. The second one was transported to Southern Maryland. Right now the families are with both members and at this time im not able to release their specific condition. Were still waiting on some other information to come in before we provide that. Later on we plan to have another news conference. The fire chief is out of town right now. Hes on his way back from pennsylvania and later this evenin more detailed information as far as their current conditions. There was an Engine Company and a medic unit from the one injured from the fire company and one from the medic unit. [ inaudible question ] at this point we are two and a half hours into the circumstance. As soon as we come into information that will make that more clear well be happy to provide it to you but its very preliminary right now. [ inaudible question ] my understanding at this point is they were in the process of trying to gain entry into the home to ascertain the condition of the person inside. And as those two as that process was unfolding, the shots ring out. Can you clarify whether or not the person that called 911 is that the same person who opened fire . Are there two different people were talking about . There are two different people. One person who is the concerned citizen who has the concern for the resident in the home. And that is the person who is with Public Safety on the outside trying to come in, and theres the resident inside who is the person who shoots. Was the civilian injured as well. Yes. The civilian was injured in the exchange of in the but not seriously. [ inaudible question ] im going to be very clear about that. There was only gunfire from the resident at the home directed at Public Safety. After Public Safety got into the residence, the situation immediately became calm and no Police Officers fired any weapons. It was simply the residents side. [ inaudible question ] after several rounds were fired, and i think they realized it was Public Safety, thats when the confrontation ended. [ inaudible question ] we are very preliminary in this to know. That will be part of our investigation. But again two and a half hours in, these are the basic facts. Those questions will come out as a result of the investigation which is really just now. These firefighters, how much experience do they have. The individual in the medic unit is a Senior Member and the member from the Engine Company is more junior member. [ inaudible question ] both are in critical. Which Fire Department or which station . Were not ready to release that at this time. Thank you all. Appreciate your time. The Prince Georges County police chief along with a spokesperson for the Fire Department. We got a little more clarification. We did confirm two firefighters were indeed shot. A civilian shot in the shoulder. Were told those firefighters hold on is Sarah Simmons standing by . Were going to go to sarah . Can you hear us . Give us an update on just heard. Reporter well, shawn, you could tell it was kind of confusing early on so we were trying to get a update on the details here. There was someone, a concerned citizen making the call to 911. Concerned about this person at 5007 sharon road. When the emergency crews responded when they got there, no one answered, and they tried to make entry and thats when shots were fired from someone inside the home. At this point we dont know what kind of concern were talking about here that the concerned citizen had. We dont know, theyre still investigating right now. The civilian was injured but not seriously and of course the shooter is in custody as we have reported before and those two firefighters are in Critical Condition as weve been reporting. So thats kind of the latest what we know right now. You know, its really quite sad mentioned shawn, two firefighters going up to a door just to try to help somebody and then to try to get inside to do that job they end up getting fired upon. So a lot of people still in shock here from the Fire Department as well. The fire chief in pennsylvania is making his way back briefing the media later on as well. But again firefighters responding to that welfare check and now they find themselves in danger as well. So one shot in the chest is what we were told. Another sustained several gunshot wounds and one civilian shot in the shoulder. One of the firefighters in grave condition, another in critical but a spokesperson for the Fire Department just told us both in critical. A lot of information flying around here now. Were hoping to get more accurate details as the evening goes on. Youve been around the scene there or around some of the officials for a while. I would imagine that this is whats your perspective as you observed them . Reporter well, i think pretty somber, obviously. And i think again theyre still in a state of shock and a lot of them have been cord onned off away from us. Making sure they get all the details right. So we havent had that much exposure to them. They have been kind of trying to do their own thing. Were about a mile and a half away from the scene so were not quite that close to that location. We do have another photographer, another crew that is helping us out perhaps a little bit closer. But its really been tough to gauge kind of what theyre going through. Of course when youre in that sort of situation, youre in shock. You just do your job. Thats what theyre trained to do. So im sure tonight, once they kind of calm down, things might start to hit a little bit closer to home. Sarah simmons reporting from the scene. Well check back in with you in just a little bit. We should alsome chief mentioned they do have suspect in custody and that suspect is cooperating with them at this time. Again, the circumstances of this, as the chief indicated, theyre two and a half hours, a little bit more than two and a half hours into this investigation. But as he was describing what transpired, he was very methodical and said, you know, there was a concerned citizen who made a call. Police and firefighters responded. Didnt get a response, and then made the decision to make entry. And thats when they were fired upon. So we dont know the circumstances of why they were fired upon. We dont know the condition of the person who was in that house who fired upon them. All of that remains to be seen. What we do know tonight is that two firefighters are in very, very serious condition. One firefighter described as being in grave condition tonight and the concerned citizen having been shot. Most reports are saying in the shoulder. These are live images from the scene. The actual scene there on the left. If you can see the mailbox beyond the trees there in between the two yellow tapes, that is the house where it took place. This is a treelined residential neighborhood.

Yesterday the caps got the 2016 playoffs off to a great start beating the flyers 20 in a typical beastly effort between the pipes. But the flyers did succeed in setting the tone with tough guy tactics. Part of that tough tone was this scuffle. It was more like a brotherly spat. Hes an awesome guy. Hes been kind of a mentor for me. But none of that matters right now. Im sure he wont be too happy with me and weve obviously gone at it a couple of times. Thats the beauty of the game. You can battle it out and leave everything you have on the ice and then go back and kind of have a Good Relationship<\/a> after the game. Thats what the Hockey Community<\/a> is all about.

Another person was also shot. One suspect is in custody. We are working to get the very latest. We will have more coming up at the top of the hour. These are live images from the scene where earlier today on sharon road in temple hills two Prince Georges County<\/a> firefighters were shot as they were responding to an emergency call. Also shot was a third person, a civilian who was on the scene with them who was trying to let them into the home to check on the welfare of a person who was inside that home. Fox 5s Jennifer Davis<\/a> continues our Team Coverage<\/a> tonight. She is at med star southern Hospital Center<\/a> in clinton, that is where one of the firefighters i believe was transported to. Jenny, what can you tell us . Reporter this is a sad scene that weve seen quite a few times, unfortunately in recent weeks and months when someone, a Police Officer<\/a> is injured and all of their comrades come to the hoep hospital to hold vigil. Only now were seeing it with a firefighter which is certainly not something we have seen in this area in quite a while. This is med star Southern Maryland<\/a> hospital in clinton, maryland. And one of the firefighters who was shot tonight inside was brought to the emergency room here. Reportedly this is the one who was shot in the chest. Initial reports were that they were in extremely Critical Condition<\/a>. And when word like that gets out, certainly all of the fellow firefighters show up here. So were seeing a number of ambulances and fire cars pull into the hospital here. You can see theyre gist standing outside the emergency room. Mark brady and some of the other officials have told us families have made it to the hospital. One of the firefighters was brought here. The other one taken to shock trauma at the university of Maryland Medical Center<\/a> in baltimore. Families with both of them and clearly firefighter family here as well so this is certainly early in this situation but you can see a great concern here by the turnout. We have been told its possible we may get a press conference later this evening but for now theyre Holding Vigil<\/a> in front of the emergency room. Back to you. Thank you for the update. We appreciate it. New details now in the investigation into former dc mayors vincent grays 2010 campaign. New documents released today along with evidence that had never preefs hi been made public.

Attorney. And mayor gray first spoke to fox 5. What i say to people is that ive said from the very beginning. I did nothing, i was not involved in any of this. Reporter its clear to read asked feds built their case against Jeffrey Thompson<\/a> who financed the Shadow Campaign<\/a> and others workin the feds were also looking at grays actions. His emails, his campaign disturbance, even allegations that gray wanted this man, leo alexander, a former mayoral candidate to drop out of the race. We spoke to alexander on the phone today who says gray, through a campaign associate, offered him money to drop out. The more reports are coming out, im disturbed by it. Councilmember who was grays ally now is running against him to keep her ward seat. She never called for the mayor to resign then but now says this about if he had knowledge of the illegal activity. Im really concerned and its bad if you didnt know about it, and its pretty bad, maybe even worse if you did know about it. Reporter matt ackland, fox 5 local news. There does not appear to be anything that links gray to the illegal documents. Jeffrey thompson has admitted wrongdoing and says mayor gray knew about the illegal activity.

Keeping the moisture well to the east and also the same story to the back side that front is going to move in and not bring us any rainfall. So thats good news. That will happen about tuesday.
