you heard that woman from the woman. did you hear any gunshots? no i did not not. you didn t hear gunshots throughout this entire all while you were sheltering in place for 30 minutes either? no no. we didn t hear any gunshots. you said unfortunately you ve lived through this before and you mean what happened in 2013. what was the situation that day? the situation that day was pretty similar to today and how everybody reacted. you know unfortunately, i was on the third floor pretty near where a lot of the action went down. i spent a couple more hours in the office with my coworkers once again locked in a room. the evacuation was the same. it just took a while longer. i think the training obviously shows that everyone s been going through since then. didn t take us that long to get
second floor of building 197, which as you meng edtioned is the same building where inging where 12 people were shot and killed two years ago. the building was evacuated. and we can tell you that mpd has been going room to room searching hallways, stairwells bathrooms. the second floor where the 911 11 shooting was called in. we re being told nothin found. no one has been arrested we re told as of now. what they re really wanting to do is talk to this person who made that call to see if there is really any validity to it. i think this response we re seeing with all different law enforcement is reflective of the threats right now. it s significantly high ahead of the holiday weekend. law enforcement doesn t want to take any chances whatsoever.
liberty to talk in detail about them. the capitol, as well as over official washington buildings are on better and higher alert in this kind of situation to protect anyone who s working there anyone who s visiting anyone who may be in the vicinity. what we have heard, our pamela brown reporting from her law enforcement sources is that senator this was a 911 call that came in that reported a shooting on the second floor of building 197, the same building where the 2013 shooting happened, but that police have not found any evidence of a shooting. also i want to emphasize here no gunmen have been spotted at this point in time no one has said that they heard gunshots. given all of this is this the reaction we should be seeing to threats like this? are you encouraged frankly, given the heightened alert for potential terrorist activity
floor. they have found in evidence of a shooting. no one has been shot that they ve found thus far. what we know is this all started with a 911 call this morning. someone called and said there was a shooting on the second floor of building 197, which is the same building where the shooting happened a couple of years ago where 12 people were shot and killed. so immediately the mpd, park police, fbi, atf, all of these different law enforcement agencies converged on the area. they have taken this very seriously. evan perez is on the ground here. he says those same people are telling him that they didn t hear any gunshots this time around, which i think is a piece of the puzzle here. it is. we ve spoken to a few witnesses there. no one we ve spoken to says
came and got us. it was pretty much the same thing as happened a couple years ago. i think the response has been a lot better so far. jordan, we have a picture right now of your evacuating with your colleagues there. you have your hands up. what were you told when you were leaving the building? i think it s pretty standard protocol to keep your hands up don t make any sudden movements, stay close to the person in front of you. in any situation, they re not sure who it is that might be around. and you just follow directions of the police and law enforcement around us. when you say it was 7:30 or 7:40 and someone was yelling to you stay away from the cafeteria, you know take cover, who was yelling that? i m not sure who she was. it was a woman i assume that s in our office or at least on our floor. but i didn t get a chance to see her. i started running.
