There are a lot of elementary schools in the area that were not locked down. they were searching through, making sure everything was okay. but it is going to be quite an understanding for police to secure the scene. they said it would be about a few hours to search the entire campus to make sure everything is clear. yeah. can you do a little more setting the scene in terms of how physically large this campus is, in terms of acres if you know? how many students would attend this sort of campus? and what sort of colleges, how is this serving the community? reporter: well, it is a community college. it is not a university. it has multiple campuses around the city for access. i wouldn t say it is more of a urban school. but it definitely is men for, not meant for but it has students who are working students, young kids, obviously. but the area around the school, i don t know the exact acreage of the school but i know that from the aerial shots of the campus itself, it would be at ....

There are elementary schools in the area. was there a lockdown? reporter: they had extra security person and he will police person that he will went to them to secure the campus to make sure there was not any problems but none of them were actually put on lockdown like the actual lone star campus was. do you know anything about protocol at this campus? it seems if they have the suspect in custody, the continued lockdown might be for some other reason. do you happen to have any idea of what they might be doing right now? reporter: well, even with the one suspect, they are still required to search and secure each classroom that had any people in it, obviously. with large campus like this, that will take a while. because they had the one person in custody and they believe he is the only suspect, that s why they were allowing students to leave. i m curious about how we ....

Enforcement? reporter: the latest we heard was from the harris county sheriff deputy thomas gilliland who said that they only have the one suspect. they believe it is one guy. and he is in custody. as you remember, the school had posted an alert on their website that said there were two men. one was at large and they were warning people in the area to stay indoors and to call police if they see anything. that obviously is not true. police officially say one guy, and he is in custody. but they are still working to secure the campus. let see if we can touch on the police response and some of the medical response. do you know how long it took police to arrive on the scene after they were initially called? and do we know what the status of these victims are? people in critical condition or stable or what they re doing at the hospitals? the report that we got very early on was that campus police were the first to arrest the suspect shortly after he was essentially tackled and detained ....
