up police are here. it s still very much an active scene even though this perimeter has softened up. there s still several police department officers outside of the north side medical center where the shooting unfolded where 24-year-old deion patterson is alleged to have opened fire killing at least one person, all of them women ranging from 25 years old to 71 years old. the deceased is a 39-year-old woman. we re told that shortly after the shooting unfolded here, that individual carjacked somebody nearby just a few blocks away, and that vehicle was recovered in cobb county which speaks to why that law enforcement presence is actively looking for patterson in the area, so very much so an active manhunt with this individual considered to be extremely dangerous and of course armed as well. thank you. let s discuss with our law enforcement experts, former philadelphia police commissioner charles ramsey, former secret service agent jonathan wak row and erica shields. it s been several ho
but for the most part, i think the fact that the officers have a fairly good idea of where the individual should be should provide a layer and a level of security in the appropriate areas hopefully. former atlanta police chief erica shields, thank you very much. you just heard from orrin leishman that the suspect was a former member of the u.s. coast guard. that does presume that he has some military training and some experience with firearms. is that relevant to the manhunt and to the investigation? it absolutely would be. he was a couple of things here. coast guard is a law enforcement agency as much as it is a military component, so they ll have the additional training. it basically does maritime extradition and his exact title may sound complicated, it s essentially someone who watches the wires and the data and the operations from a ship. so he s sort of a guardsman who

much. let s bring back our law enforcement experts. chief shields, you know this area of atlanta very well. we re hearing this search has expanded to cobb county, the northern suburbs of atlanta. what s likely happening on the ground right now, especially as i m sure the police there are anticipating sunset. so my understanding is that the atlanta police department has some fantastic analysts. my understanding is that they saw him in the stolen car, leave the vehicle and run into a construction site. there s a number of construction sites through there. so the good news is it sounds like they have some idea of the locale that he s in. it will be methodical. it will be slow, you can t rush it. the good news is we re not into the georgia summers yet, which can be draining on the officers when these events go on for a prolonged period of time. i think, you know, we re going to have daylight here for a few more hours or at least a couple
