Can wrap your arms around it. That unknown contributes to that apprehension. Lot of people arent really familiar with san bruno if they are another town but your mall here is set up right next to the bart station. And that is why it may have been easy for someone to get on board bart. Yeah and it is not uncommon. Our Police Station is located close to the station as well. And when we thefts or other crimes at the mall it is not uncommon for these people the go to bart. So we know that is an avenue for them. It is not uncommon for those types of things to happen with your more day to day type of criminal activity. Can we talk with the fire chief. Would you tell us about the victims and what they are doing and how . Responded at the request of p. D. For a shooter. Updated information included multiple victims. Ultimately Additional Resources were asked. We had a second alarm and declared a mci, a mass casualty incident. A total of four ambulances were dispatched as well. Initial crews as
injuries perhaps related to being stepped on or pushed as people were getting out of mall. but it was unclear what the injuries may have been. not sure if you hear me anymore. sounds like we may have lost our connection. we re going send it back to you. live in tanforan mall. we co-hear you. melanie woodrow live from the season. taking another live look at the shops at tanforan. the tanforan mall in san bruno which has been evacuated after this shooting. the first call came at 3:56. we know of at least two people confirmed shot. 15 and 18 years of age. one in serious condition. one in critical condition. and two people, two separate shooters are being sought. they have not arrested anyone yet. and they say one of the young males that they are seeking is wearing a green sweatshirt with a hoodie. and that is what we have right now. we know they shut down the oakland 12th street station bart
so we knew who we were looking for. bart police indicated they did find a weapon and right now our commanders are in communication with them. our investigation and support for san bruno and bart will continue. reporter: so let s back up. what is the description of the suspect? who are we looking for. we can t share that with you right now but really our focus was on public safety. it was absolutely key that we evacuated the trains and ensured that our community, our riders, were safe. so we responded. we had a city response that came here. assisted bart. we stopped the trains and then we systematically evacuated those trains. it is extremely important in situations like this that we systematically very very careful. very cautious. we want to insure that the public safety comes first and we did so. right now the stations 12th street bart and 14th street bart are open. so those who were certainly
might have been involved. the suspicion is that handguns only were involved in this shooti shooti shooting. and the shooting is perhaps one of the two shooters because the police chief mentioned there were likely two shooters, might have gotten onto the system, the bart system from san bruno and arrived in the oakland vicinity, which prompted that information, prompting that massive search and closure of the station and the area which resulted in the finding of a weapon that they re not disclosing specifically right now the nature of it. but believed to be related possibly to the san bruno shooting there at the tanforan mall. but since they have no arrests not only is that one person to have gone through oakland there is another shooter at large possibly somewhere and they have no idea where. and i think one thing that people watching can find some comfort in, this shooting, police were quite confident this was not a random kind of attack where a shooter walks into a mall and start
would not let that happen if they were not convinced there was no was no danger present and there was no one involved in this situation still on or near those bart trains or bart platforms. and you did hear johna watson, the public spokesperson for the oakland police department say they are going to keep a larger presence of oakland police officers and bart police officers than normal at these stations, 12th and 14th street station for some time this evening just to make certain that it is all clear and there s no more danger. but that is certainly what they seem very confident to be able to say, that there s no more danger anymore on the bart system. but they are not saying that, dan-b the tanforan mall area. correct. and they certainly still have the area surrounded. and we don t know exactly how many people they ve been able to evacuate from the mall. so we don t know if most of the employees have gotten out, most of the shoppers. they certainy try to do the evacuation in an o
