Policed? absolutely. when i see or hear that there s not a lot of ambulance presence, that s a good sign that we don t have a mass shooting. i don t know that for sure not being there. but the lack of ambulances is a sign that things have calmed down. usually when you have an active shooter, you ll see officers rying to neutralize the threat. when you see a systematical approach going door-to-door. and we have evidence gathering, we also have to find the weapon and gather all facts before we release information to be public. trace: the local affiliates are reporting the suspect is in custody. then it becomes when do you start releasing information to the public and to the parents that are very concerned. i m sure that will be soon. in law enforcement, you have to cross every i, gather every t and talk to all witnesses.
we are still we re still a young nation, and we ve got the greatest diversity of talent and ingenuity that comes from every corner of the globe. nobody knows that better than florida. so no matter what the naysayers tell us, no matter how dark the other side tries to paint the situation, there is not another country on earth that would not gladly trade places with the united states of america. president obama firing up the crowd there, winter park, florida. you heard them chanting, four more years, touting some of the items he has gotten done in the last 3 1/2 years. keep in mind, not too many states away, we had mitt romney speaking in golden, colorado. folks, three more months until those november elections. you can keep watching the president, go to cnn.com/live. and now, roll the open. as we continue hour two, i m brooke baldwin. al qaeda may be plotting new terror, plots from the skies. police in southern spain have arrested these three suspected members of al qaed
overnight at the showing of the dark knight rises that happened in aurora, colorado. a suburb of denver. dozens of police and firefighters are on the scene right now. our affiliate is following the story, everyone following the story now. we have reports of multiple deaths. we are working to confirm that. we know it was a multiple shooting of the dark knight rises. aurora, colorado is about nine miles east of denver. local hospitals reporting patients are on the scene. they have been told to prepare for as many as 20. we were listening in just now as they were talking to some local folk there s who witnessed this horrific scene inside. they said they were hearing noises, but the dark knight is one of those movies where there is a lot of shooting, so they weren t sure if it was the movie. there were reports of smoke, perhaps an explosion and one witness was just telling us that he did see some people hunched over apparently who had been shot. we are trying to get as many
Location, i assume, where parents can respond to. that s another thing that law enforcement sets up, a particular area where parents can respond and pick up their children. it looks like they re already evacuating it. as we can see from the screen right here, they re actually taking care of injured individuals on the scene. they ve got a triage set up. it looks like multiple injuries here. this is a horrible sight for these poor kids in school, and for the parents responding to the scene, to pick up their children. let me make it clear for people who are watching. these are not live pictures. because this is an okay. i m being told these are live. this is fine. we re showing the ambulance presence. we re obviously having to be very careful about live television in an active shooter situation not to get ahead of and show exactly what s.w.a.t. is doing.
