Across the subway station. it s an intensive effort. it s very broadly based right now. but ultimately, it is that video capture that will bring them to the best information about who the subject is. and once you know who he is, then you ve got to find him. and andy mccabe, i want to ask you the same question you were asking chief ramsy, who says he believes it s to reassure the public and keep them calm. the police commissioner said, at the moment, not being investigated as an act of terrorism. explain to viewers who might not understand the distinction. sure, so i agree with chief ramsy, that that was likely an effort by the police commissioner to kind of calm people down. and it probably reflects the fact that at this point, they probably don t have any specific information that ties this event to a terrorist group or a terrorist organization. in other words, they don t have a claim of responsibility from a group like isis or cal qaeda, ad
Art roderick, former assistant director of the u.s. marshall service. chief ramsy, this number of civilians, law enforcement as well, out in the open in the line of fire, and you have a gunman firing from an elevated position. for the people who are there, you don t know if you re running into a bullet or running away from a bullet. in a situation like this, it s extremely difficult for people, do i shelter where i am? do i try to run? no matter what direction you run to, you could be hit. right. it would be very chaotic. you wouldn t know which direction to run in. most people instinctively would probably run towards the exit they entered the venue in. so it would be mass confusion, in question about that. you re in an area where you probably have echos and things like that, so you really can t
