many countries like iraq and others that have not been producing their normal volumes. so if we had not found huge new oilfields that were producing crude in the united states, we probably would have a shortage on the world market. >> reporter: that means the price of gas is still volatile and still viable for you on go around and search. for example, we found a their 8- cent difference in the

take away social security's guaranteed benefit and fight against equal pay for equal work legislation. the post calls bongino "polarizing" and "highly partisan." no wonder the post endorses john delaney "one of the most esimpr nsiveew lawmakers." family man, entrepreneur, and independent problem solver - for jobs, to protect veterans and equal pay for women. i'm john delaney and i approve this message. so we don't know. we have a person with some sort of injury, a cut or graze wound. we don't know if he's related to this scene a couple blocks away. we have detectives down there now. it's very recall on, but again there's literally -- early on, but again there 25 police officers on this block all night. we have three transported to the hospital. when they left here, the information i have, one shot in the shoulder, two with graze wounds transported anyway. >> reporter: anything to do with anybody at the concert or was it outside? >> no. the concert didn't let out -- it let out about 25 minutes after the incident. so we were trying to move the crowds along before the concert let out, but we were aware this is a pretty packed crowd tonight. >> reporter: any idea what sparked this at all? >> no, we don't have any idea yet. halloween obviously we try and keep up with all of the things going on with different kids and groups of kids and then adults. so we had a lot of people out here to he could the high visibility. who knows? we've got a lot of people. hopefully tomorrow we'll have better answers. >> you don't know if the two are connected? >> we don't know yet. it's very likely possible somebody from this team because people ran when the shots were fired. this is a pretty crowded street at any given time. it's possible they're connected. if not, we'll figure that out. >> reporter: how tough does it make your investigation with thousands of people streaming through right when you're trying to -- >> realizing the concert was going to let out within 20 minutes of the time the shot was fired we were trying our best to coordinate with verizon and security. we have police officers inside that were aware right away. we tried to coordinate the release to deviate around our crime scene. we had all the injured persons in ambulances to transport off as the crowds were coming off. >> reporter: can you describe the scene when officers arrived? >> i walked out on this corner about six minutes after the shots were fired and most people coming into the block were unaware of what was going on. the officers on the block when the shots were fired said that literally there was at least 20 cops on the block when the shots were fired and they were able to chase the group down the street and make that stop. i think a lot of people didn't realize it was going on. as you can hear the noise level here, a very loud band, street noise. i think a lot of people didn't realize gunshots had been fired and those in close proximity took off running. you had at least 20 cops on the block. thank you very much. always watching, always tracking wusa9 first alert weather. >> in case you have any thoughts of traveling up to happy valley tomorrow to see terps
