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
building. we ll be on scene here to treat anybody. but no additional people were treat order located. when they signed the releases they didn t need to be transplanted do you have any sense of what their injuries were? i don t at this point. sorry to say. can you describe what it looked like when you a i arrived on the scene? were people running from the mall at that point. there were people exiting the mall. i was here very quickly. i was in the area. and there were people outside of the mall. normally a very large police presence and like i said we ve done recent training here in san bruno and our officers, firefighters work closely with the police officers. and their immediate concern was lets get the rescue group task force together and get the victims out. very happy with. as the chief said we re a small department. we have to rely on the other departments and neighbors and they all participated in this response. what is that recent active
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
and the movie theater there now. lots of restaurants in the food court. and of course, dan, you remember this. before that it was originally horse racing. this is not far from the airport. i m not sure how many miles away. pretty close to the airport. a couple miles maybe not even. the costco there by the airport. and it s right off of 380. so a lot of people get off the freeway to shop there because it s only about one block off the ramps, exit ramps to 380. and you know, it s smack dab in the middle of 101 and 280. so no matter where you re going you re going through the centralized area. this is wreaking havoc seeing a lot of texts from friends who say they re stuck in gridlock in the afternoon commute, evening commute, trying to get home from that area. and then you have the thousands of youtube employees leaving as well. it s gridlock. and of course stay away not just because of that but for your own safety as the investigation continues. and these are pictures from our heli
area into, towards the outside of the mall. barnes & noble side. reporter: when people ran towards your store what did they do? a lot of them ran to the back swresmt a back exit. i told them to go in through there. and we started locking the doors. thank filet coworkers parents was there and helped me lock the doors. and there was not more people inside just the workers and probably like five or six more, you know, people that ran into the store and stayed in in in the back in the stock room with us. so you were literally hiding in the dark in the stock room. yes. we were hiding in the dark. we turned off the light as soon as we locked the doors and told everyone to just stay in there. reporter: you had to have been scared. it was pretty scary. a lot of my coworkers and also seeing lot of other people pretty scary. called down a little bit.
