changes. that's usually at this point the programs just cleaning up the books at the end of the day so this isn't, don't read too much into the last 100 points. liz: all right i won't because you said not to. stocks finish off the highs of the session, a lot of breaking news and we're going to get that to you right now with after the bell along with nike earnings. adam: a rebound on wall street stocks back in the green the dow ending the day up roughly 98 points, that's off the session highs, but still in the green the s&p 500 and nasdac also on the rise today, hello i'm adam shapiro in for david asman. melissa: i'm me francis this is after the bell but first we have of course breaking news. multiple people have died following a shooting at the capital gazette news room in ann apolis, maryland. the sheriff saying one suspect has been apprehended now police are checking the area to see if there are more shooters. let's go to deirdre bolton in the news room who has more

details. deirdre? >> yeah, >> as far as what we are hearing pouring through statements from the sheriff, that building, the capitol gazette newspaper has been evacuated. there are a few fatalities. from what i understand from the sheriff's office, the suspect was apprehended. we are waiting for an update on that, but i can also tell you there is a reporter who was working for the capital gazette, one of the oldest newspapers in the country. it was established in 1884. but the offices, and what you're seeing now on your screens that were actually evacuated, are from a newer building that was built for the newspaper staff in 2014. but there is a reporter who was actually live tweeting -- who is live tweeting at the moment. his name is phil davis and

underscore cg for capital gazette, and i'm quoting him here: i will tweet what i can while i wait to be interviewed by the police. and he goes on to say he doesn't want to declare any of his colleagues dead, but he said in another tweet, it does not look good. and he said that the shooter came through gas doors, shot through glass doors, and as he said, i don't want to declare people deceased too early, but it does not look good. he also then subsequently tweeted out another message saying there is nothing more frightening than hiding you were your desk and hearing a gunman reload. so we do not have any information from official sources on the identity or the potential identity of the suspect, only that that person has been apprehended. it seems at this moment to be classified as one shooter. that has not been confirmed from official sources, that is what we have right now.

and i do know that the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives are this and part of this response effort. the governor making a statement saying he is absolutely devastated, thank the first responders for their quick results and their quick action, and that is what we have right this second, melissa. so as news comes out, i will come back to you. in the meantime, back to you. melissa: deirdre, thank you. joining us on the phone is manny gomez, mg security services president and former fbi special agent. i want to sort of ask you in that capacity as an fbi special agent what's your takeaway so far? >> well, like most of you have been saying, here we go again. yet another active shooter situation on u.s. soil in as many weeks. we have a situation in this country where this is now an epidemic, and unfortunately, this is not the last one, and

this is something that's going to continue because you have copycats, you have people that are frustrated and want to go out there and hurt -- melissa: no doubt. i kind of want to stick to the story that we have at hand though. i don't know if you're near a monitor and see the screen, and we're trying to make out based on the activity of the people outside and how they're managing things. you know, they have one shooter in custody but, obviously, they're still combing through the grounds. you know, what to you make of the way that they're operating right now? does it seem like they do have everyone who is involved in custody? >> this is usual, they seem -- they've got everybody out with their hands up, that's obviously so that they can insure that the victims are not potential shooters, that there are perhaps more than one shooter involved, so they ask the people who are coming out to hold their hands

out so that they can then ascertain and make sure that one, that another shooter is not amongst them. also they will go door to door, room to room, make sure that all the entire facility is clean and that there are no other threats before they call the area clean. obviously, it's still going to be a crime scene, obviously there are people that have been injured severely from what i understand in the building, and that's going to be an active crime scene for several hours to come. but it appears to me from what i've seen and heard that there was one shooter that is in custody, and that's good news because many of the times the shooter is either kill by law enforcement or kills himself in the act of committing this crime. and to have a shooter in custody

is great because we get to find out what the intent is. melissa: yeah. when you have somebody that comes into a newsroom, it puts a different spin on it, you know, that maybe rather than being a disgruntled employee, this is someone who was upset by something in the paper. we know from the police that they had also evacuated, to be safe, the parent corporation, the baltimore sun newspaper, which is affiliated with this one as well. what would you make of the fact that they did that and that it's a news organization? >> right. again, the investigation just started, so they're going to ascertain the person's motives and intentions, the fact that he was captured alive is key to this case because it's going to give us more information as to why he, this person actually did this crime are -- and law

enforcement is trying to get a profile as to what triggers these active shooters in order to prevent the next one from happening. so wherever he can get somebody alive and be able to be forthright as to the motivation, the intentions, the preparation and the mindset of committing one of these heinous crimes, it always helps law enforcement and security professionals to be able to piece together a protocol, program to protect everywhere, schools -- melissa: yeah. >> now, obviously, this is a news organization. so what this teaches us offhand is that there is really nobody or no one building or organization that is safe from something like this. melissa: yeah, that's very true. >> everybody needs to do a self-inspection and look at their security protocols because, clearly, this could happen anywhere in america today. melissa: absolutely. manny gomez, thank you for your

time today. we appreciate it. >> thank you. my pleasure. adam: and, of course, we'll temper our coverage, but we want to turn back to the markets. the dow closing higher today as investors continue to wade through their fierce about a potential trade war. technology and financial stocks leading today's gains. phil flynn is watching the action in oil and gold for us at the cme, nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange. and, nicole, first to you. rebound for tech and financials, right? >> yeah, and that's really key too because we've had such volatility lately. that has become a new word we're throwing around because we didn't see it for a little while, but it is back, no doubt. and you can see a majority of stocks are in the green. the financials up for the first time in 14 days, and phil will tell you about energy which has had a great month. the dow, the nasdaq and the s&p all higher, the dow at its highest point was just over 190 points, finished up 98 points. there's a look at the major averages and the nasdaq composite, the best of the three, the tech-heavy nasdaq, up

about three-quarters of 1%. we watched amazon today moving higher on this now taking over pill pack, reportedly about a billion dollars. pill pack is online pharmacy. what it does is organizes your pills and medications in groups, in doses, it does renewals, and it took on the entire industry. when you take a look at drugs, pharma, health care really just knocked down the group as soon as this news broke. and you can see the others, cvs, walgreens, rite-aid, they were all to the downside. cvs, 6%. walgreens, 10%. they also have their quarterly report, new to the dow, but a new low there, as you can see. chipotle news is that the analysts got the latest investor update, and they think it lacks visibility. we do see it down 6.3%. starbucks cfo may now be retiring right on the heels of howard schultz who's out the door there. you can see that stock down

2.6%. it's hovering around those three-year lows. some people call it stunning that the cfo wants to get out of there and that he's done a good job but that the recent numbers have not been that great. and i will tell you that bj's wholesale club listed, and that was up over 20%ed today, 29%. back to you. melissa: nicole, thank you. phil, oil hitting another three-and-a-half year highed today. talk to me about that. >> oil prices hit the highest, $74 for the first time since november of 2014. more concerns of tightening u.s. supplies. this market really took off today when we saw a report from genscape, the private oil forecasters, that shows inventory -- [inaudible] key delivery points fell by another three million barrels last week. that means that that oil that we need to feed our record demand from refiners is in a very tight situation, and that's driving this market higher. we're also, of course, worried

about what's going to happen with iran when the trump administration puts the screws to the countries buying oil from iran, what's going to happen. the trump administration today tried to calm the market's fears and say, listen, we're going to work with people, help end their addiction to iranian oil, but we're still going to go with it. and gold, another six month low. back to you. melissa: phil, thank you. adam: we want to bring in jon hilsenrath, "the wall street journal" chief economist, also a fox business contributor, and daniellety martino booth, a former federal reserve adviser. daniel, the -- danielle, the recovery in tech today, how much of that can you attribute to the banks' stress test and the fact that the federal reserve next year may be softening the way they publicly chastise the banks if they're failing to meet the goals the fed wants? >> well, i think that today is -- it's the show me the money day. this is when banks actually get to hear what are investors, shareholders really, really want to know, and that's how much money they're going to be able

to return to their shareholders. it was interesting in the aftermath of lath week's initial quantitative release from the fed, that goldman sachs put out a statement that says we beg to differ, we actually think our capital cushion is stronger and, therefore, we can return even more money to shareholders. even beleaguered wells fargo's stock closed up today, all based on the hopes that investors are going to get more money back from these company. adam: jon, this new ratio, capital ratio that the federal reserve is considering going to as opposed to a grade for the banks, are investors paying attention to that? is that perhaps of what we saw today? >> well, you know, i think investors are paying attention to the fact that most banks passed this quantitative test last week, and most banks are going to be allowed with this next test to be returning capital to shareholders, increasing dividends and share buybacks. i think that's what everybody's

waiting to see, how much capital the banks are going to be able to return to their shareholders. adam: thank you very much for being with us. it's one of those days where we have to cut it a little short. melissa: president trump has been briefed about the fatal shooting at the capital gazette9 in maryland. we're going to have more on the breaking news right after this break. your mornings were made for

better things than rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist move to another treatment, ask if xeljanz xr is right for you. xeljanz xr is a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well enough it can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts, and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests.

tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. don't let another morning go by without talking to your rheumatologist about xeljanz xr. don't let another morning go by without talking to retail. under pressure like never before. and it's connected technology that's moving companies forward fast. e-commerce. real time inventory. virtual changing rooms. that's why retailers rely on comcast business to deliver consistent network speed across multiple locations. every corporate office, warehouse and store near or far covered. leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. comcast business outmaneuver.

adam: multiple people have died following a shooting at the capital gazette newsroom in annapolis, maryland. dever drink bolton with more on what's going on. >> according to the director of media relations for a hospital, university of maryland medical certain, one patient has been taken there. we have no information on the patient and no information on whether or not the hospital is expecting additional patients.

that statement is coming through from the director of media relations for the hospital. what we do know is what you said, multiple injuries and fatalities. the active shooter believed at this particular moment to be one single person is believed to be in custody. still absolutely no clue about motive, but what we do know is that the shooting apparently happened in the newsroom. we -- there was a reporter who works for the capital gazette, a local newspaper in annapolis. it is a very old newspaper, established in 1884. he started to tweet out some of what was going on on his twitter page, and his name is phil davis, underscore cg for capital gazette. he said he would be tweeting out what he can while he was waiting to be interviewed by the police. his first tweet came out saying: a single shooter shot multiple people at my office, some of whom are dead. he said the gunman shot through

the glass door to the officer and opened fire on multiple employees. i'm quoting the reporter here now: can't say much more and i don't want to declare anyone dead, but it is bad. he then tweeted a few minutes later: there is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you are under your desk and hearing a gun match reload are -- gunman reload. we can all imagine the horror and the fright that he must have felt along with his other colleagues. we do know that bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, explosives, they are on the scene, they are responding. we know that the governor, governor larry hogan, said he is absolutely devastated and thanked the first responders. so as of this moment, all we mow is general; multiple injuries and fatalities. and as of this moment, only one patient taken to the university of maryland medical center.

for annapolis, 40,000 residents, home to the u.s. naval academy, i am sure they never expected this afternoon this kind of event to happen there. we're looking at that live feed, obviously, and as we mentioned before, the capital gazette is one of the country's oldest newspapers, but they had this new office as of 2014, and that's what we're looking at. we're looking at, essentially, their newer offices which they have been in for a few years. back to you. adam: deirdre bolton, thank you. melissa: and more breaking news. president trump has been briefed on the shooting in maryland. let's go back to blake burman at the white house with the latest. >> reporter: president trump is actually in the air aboard air force one. as you know, he was in wisconsin earlier today. he's set to land in about 45 minutes to an hour or so. so right now the president on air force one as he got the news, as he was briefed about the shooting in annapolis, maryland. air force one is a technological marvel, just has about a all of

the technological capabilities that one could ever want. the president has television screens on there, he often watches television when he is on air force one. we don't know if that is the case right now. i only brick it up because -- bring it up because he is on air force one, so it is quite possible that he is watching the events unfold on the television screens there. again, we expect to see the president land back here in the washington, d.c. area in about 45 minutes to an hour or so, and he has been briefed. his wife, the first a lady, melania trump, she is in arizona right now. she made an unannounced visit there in both tucson and phoenix along the southern border to deal with the child separation policy, bring that up too because we are informed that the first lady traveling separately from her husband on this day for this policy issue has been briefed as well. just to echo what deirdre had said, annapolis, maryland, is just a slice of paradise. about maybe an hour or so north of the white house if you're driving from here to baltimore.

annapolis is just off the highway there, a beautiful part of this country if you have never been. president trump was there just recently speaking to the u.s. naval academy, and it, it shakes those from this part of the country to see what is happening in that majestic town today. back to you. melissa: blake burman, thank you. adam: we want to turn our attention again with this shooting, and joining us on the phone is a retired new york police department detective. sergeant, thank you for being with us. i would imagine at this point as the reporters have been telling us, they're trying to secure the scene there. what does that entail from your viewpoint, i mean, as a detective? do they have to search everybody who comes out of that building? >> certainly, everybody will be searched, they'll be debriefed. i think it looks like the emergency's over just from the fact that they're using the mall across the street as a staging area. so that means to tell me they feel that the threat is over even though they haven't made

that official announcement yet. i think just by those actions i think we can, you know, develop that kind of, you know, atmosphere so to speak what we're dealing with. but it's a room to room search, every closet, under every desk, and they have to also look for explosive devices, so i wouldn't be surprised if we see k-9s and like coming in there. a a we've been told by -- adam: we've been told it is believed that the shooter was taken into custody. when they take a shooter in an incident like this into custody, what happens? is there a long period of isolation before anyone starts talking with that person, or is there an almost immediate attempt to find out what was going on? >> well, i think there'd be immediate attempts to make sure that nobody else was helping him and that there aren't any bombs. i don't know how long they're actually going to let him sit. there's different schools of thought. my school of thought is let's talk to him immediately while it's still fresh and get information out of him, but they want to keep him on ice so they can execute search warrants on

his house, apartment, vehicles, his internet records, social media, all of those things. they're going to have to obtain warrants, and that takes a little bit of time. so i don't think we're going to find out his identity right away. you don't want anybody showing up at the house or deleting files or throwing stuff out. that's a very important aspect of this investigation. adam: i would suspect that a major market police force like the nypd has the personnel to go through that, but this is annapolis, maryland. i wouldn't call it a major city. do they have the personnel to do exactly what you just described to us, the warrants and the search of social media and all kinds of different connections to see who this person truly is? >> well, they're going to have some help with, i'm sure the fbi is at the scene or on their way with their resources. this will still be a local police department unless there is an act of terrorism, then the fbi will take over. now the federal partners will help them do different things, but the police department themselves are going to have to

go to court and get those affidavits and execute those search warrants. adam: in your -- >> sorry, go ahead. adam: joe, i apologize, i interrupted you. in your experience as a detective, when you dealt with somebody -- i don't know if you ever dealt with a mass shooting incident or mass death catastrophe, but in your dealings with people who perp trail crimes and perhaps something like this, what is their demeanor right after? is are they competent? are they sane? i mean, your experience with those in the past. >> well, anybody who does something like this you'd have to think that they are a little bit mentally off when they committed this act, for sure. one of the things that this is going to be, what rapport they can build with this individual. that's a very important aspect of getting information. so detectives and police officers and the like, you know, are pretty skilled in getting information from people, and that's why they're good at what they do. so this is important. and we're starting to see a trend here. we're starting to see, you know,

shooters who do this -- they usually kill themselves or wait for the police to kill them. this is the second or third time now the recent shootings that they've been taken alive which is an interesting aspect of this, because the dynamics of these incidents are changing almost monthly, unfortunately. adam: if you were the detective for the annapolis police department who had the ability to speak with this individual, what questions would you ask that person? >> well, i would ask him, first of all, what was his motivation? was it personal? was it a boyfriend/girlfriend issue? was it, you know, about the news? and this is where that social media stuff, i think, could play a big role into it because we can see what he's been saying online. and you've bot to remember, too, there's more than likely video surveillance that we're dealing with, that they could have potential evidence in that too. internet records, cell phone records, all of this is going to be playing. and i think, you know, if i was running an investigation like that, i'd be trying to gather

that information before we sit down and ask tough questions. the initial question would be the emergency stuff. adam: last question, joe, how likely is it -- i've heard statistics, i don't know if it's true or not -- in murders, most of the people people know the person who has harmed them. in these kinds of situations, is that any kind of reliable statistic? as you said earlier, this might be a boyfriend/girlfriend kind of thing, is it possible they knew the person beforehand? >> well, sure. even the school shootings, the kids know each other. the texas shootings in the church. the only one that came close is the youtube one that we're kind of missing. you had the woman that went in there, was very upset about her turning off her youtube page. so that always has to be looked at in this regard, but you're going down two paths, personal or towards, you know, dislike of the media. adam: and we're still at the beginning. joe, we appreciate you joining us. thank you. >> have a good day, thanks.

. melissa: another report card day for u.s. banks. the federal reserve out with second and final stress test results for 2018 on the health of america's banking industry. fox business' jennifer is live in d.c. with the results. jennifer? reporter: melissa, the federal reserve failing deutsche bank's u.s. arm and passing morgan stanley, goldman sachs and state street, only with conditions. results from the second round of the federal reserve annual stress test show failed the stress test because of widespread deficiencies and managing risk. the fed passed morgan stanley and goldman sachs but are not allowing the banks to raise dividends and share buybacks,

both are required to maintain payouts to build capital. the banks fell below minimum requirements on a new measure that evaluates whether they have enough capital to cover losses on potential investments financed with debt, but both fell short because of one-time tax charges, not because of reflection of performance under stress, so the fed chose to pass them even though both technically failed. state street received approval for payout plans but only contingent on the firm how it manages under stress. american express forced to scale back initial payout plans because they would have fallen short of the fed's requirements. the second round of stress tests whether banks would continue to be able to lend to households and businesses during a severe hypothetical recession. banks have to withstand a severe recession scenario tougher than past years and envision unemployment spiking

to 10% and home prices plunging 30%. melissa, on average, banks requested payouts of 95% over requested earnings, just about in-line with last year. back to you. melissa: interesting, jennifer, thank you. adam: we want to go back to jon hilsenrath and jill demartino booth. was there a surprise, do you think? >> it's interesting, i wouldn't call it a surprise that they failed deutsche bank. we reported a few weeks ago that the fed deemed deutsche bank's u.s. operations in, quote, troubled condition, but they took the next step today failing them on the stress test. and then, you know, again, i think the morgan stanley, i'm sorry the morgan stanley, goldman sachs decisions are interesting. they were close to the border and the fed's results today reflected that. adam: danielle, you have been

an outspoken critic of the federal reserve at times. i'm curious the grades or the rulings by the federal reserve that you see today. do you think the federal reserve gets it right or from an investing standpoint, does the federal reserve get it wrong and need to do other research on your own? >> well, i think investors should surely be doing research on their own. their own due diligence, there's a reason financials have been down 13 out of the last 14 trading days, some of it has to do with the fed's credit, they've been watching closely, that's credit card losses of the $558 billion of losses banks would sustain under a worst-case scenario, by the stress tests. 100 billion from credit card losses. so if you look at that relationship, they line up decently. i will line up to the goldman sachs matter for a minute and morgan stanley. i think they're really going to take issue with this, and as john said, there was no surprise with the deutsche bank, but i was a little surprised we didn't hear

conditionality attached to wells fargo. as deutsche bank had issues on the institutional side, wells fargo had certainly had well-publicized issues on the retail side and the fed has slapped their wrist. so i'm surprised that the fed gave them such a high passing grade. adam: jon and danielle, appreciate you commenting on the bank reports, the stress tests, see how they might change next year, thank you. melissa: breaking news, more of it, nike reporting fourth quarter results back to nicole with the numbers. reporter: seeing a beat on the top and bottom line, and beating on earnings per share and revenue. nike moving higher by 5.5%. when i looked at the bid at the higher point of that range was very close to the all-time high of nike. watch for that to help the dow jones industrial average tomorrow. the ceo noting our new innovation is winning with consumers, also complete digital transformation, they're also adding onto buyback, $15

billion share buyback on top of the $12 billion a share buyback and also beat on revenue estimates with all the new launches. don't forget they're doing well once again in north america and seeing the growth in north america and that's a big deal for nike. they've reintroduced some of the old names such as the airmax, right? just like stan smith was for adidas, nike brings in the old ones. the analysts said the trends were on the side of nike, especially going into the back to school, and that athletic leisure, athleisurewear, streetwear lends itself to sneakers. nike up 5.5%. back to you. melissa: nicole. thank you. adam: when we come back, we're going to bring you up to speed what's going on in maryland with the shooting situation there. one person is reported to be in custody. there are multiple injuries and multiple deaths. we're going to be right back after this. whoooo.

when it comes to travel, i sweat the details.

late checkout... ...down-alternative pillows... . adam: we've got breaking news for you. there's a press taking place, a press conference on the shooting in maryland. here we go. >> once the building is secure, we have a crime scene obviously. we anticipate this being a very long investigation. it will be very detailed investigation by our detectives. i'd like to introduce first our county executive steven r. shue, we're going to limit questions for investigative purposes because we still have a lot of work to do. thank you. mr. shue? >> thank you, officer. i'm county executive steve shue. we've had a terrible shooting incident here this afternoon. there are several people who have died from this incident, and several others are injured. those who are injured have been transported for medical care to

anne arundel medical center. the fatalities are so sad and i don't know what to say other than our thoughts and prayers are with their families and take comfort knowing they are in god's embrace. the shooter is in custody and being interrogated at this time. i want to commend the public safety professionals who were very quick to the scene here, within about 60 seconds and had a tremendous response not only from anne arundel city and fire, state police, prince georges, several federal agencies including fbi and atf. thanks all the agencies for their quick response and being our partners in this very unfortunate incident. i'd like to ask governor hogan to say a few words. >> i just want to say, first of all, our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their

families, and i want to thank the law enforcement professionals who responded, our emergency response team did an incredible job. they're still doing the job right now. but the fact they responded within 60 seconds, i want to give serious praise to anne arundel county and the city of annapolis for response and we were here with the state agency to back them up. we have federal agencies. it's a tragic situation. we don't have all the information yet and we can't give all the information yet because it's an active crime scene and investigation, but we have had several fatalities and several people in the hospital, and we'll just leave it to the professionals to continue their ongoing investigation. reporter: i know you said it's early -- [inaudible]. reporter: can you tell us the numbers now? >> i'm going to take the opportunity to introduce our acting chief bill cramp, who

will answer questions. again, please, it will be very brief. we want to make sure the information we put out is accurate. so there's a lot of people involved here. we want to make sure that information is accurate and don't want to say anything that will ruin the investigation. the suspect is still being interviewed by detectives but, again, i'll introduce our acting chief. >> good afternoon. as you can see, this is a very fluid scene. you can see that we have over 10+ allied agencies assisting with anne arundel police. the investigation has just started. so as ryan has said, we're going to be quite awhile determining why it occurred, how it occurred, when it occurred. we came to the building quickly, we received call as active shooter. we do have fatalities and do have serious injuries. we also have many, many witnesses that are being

interviewed, and we have an area over by lord & taylor that the witnesses can reunite with their families. we're asking them to contact their families so they can come and assist them with getting home safely. as ryan mentioned before, our criminal investigation division has one person in custody. that person is at our criminal investigation division down in crownsville, and we will be speaking with that individual quite frequently, and well, shortly, i should say, and get the information. the building is secure from a tactical standpoint. that means that right now we believe there are no other shooters in the building, but it is not, it has not been cleared from an investigative standpoint. so once the qrt and the members of the s.w.a.t. team leave the building, the investigators will go in and then we will

start to process putting the investigation together. reporter: [ inaudible ] right now, we can't confirm exactly where the shooting occurred throughout the building. the "capital gazette" building is inside that building along with many other businesses. reporter: any numbers on casualties? >> not at this point. reporter: where do you have the suspect? >> our officers were on the scene very, very quickly. i think it was 60 seconds or minute, minute and a half, and they did engage the suspect, that's when he was taken into custody it. occurred very quickly. one second, for everybody that was acting chief william kramph, and i'd like to introduce the mayor of annapolis, kevin buchman. >> the city sends its love and thoughts for all the families that have been affected by this horrible event. i want to commend our first

responders to getting to the scene as quickly as they did, if they were not there as quickly as they did, it would have been a lot worse. it was a great joint effort by everybody. this is what we trained for. a week ago we practiced active training thing, we did not expect something like this in our community. we were ready. i don't think we could put more resources if you look behind you. tremendous response. reporter: how many people? >> we can't confirm that yet, i have to leave that with the county. so i'll hand it back to you. reporter: [ inaudible ] at this point, we're reuniting people with families and we're interviewing the suspect, we don't want to put that information out. that information will come out very shortly. reporter: acting alone, holding that to one suspect, not

looking for anyone else? >> yeah, at this point, he's one suspect. we have one suspect. and like to introduce the anne arundel state's attorney, mr. wes adams. >> assist with the fantastic response by law enforcement officials. this is an active investigation. we will work in conjunction with the detectives and the police officers who are handling the scene to ensure we have everything correctly that we can sift and process the evidence as necessary. unfortunately that's the only comment my office can make at this time. we are assisting other agencies. reporter: do you have any motive right now? >> the investigation is active and ongoing. my office in particular cannot comment in any way on the evidence. reporter: what type of weapon was used? >> turn that over to lieutenant frazier. reporter: what kind of weapon was used? >> we can't identify the exact weapon that was used. we anticipate having another briefing very shortly to get

that information out. so at this point with it being a very active investigation, we need to reconnect with detectives interviewing the suspect. make sure we have the accurate information that we can give out to everybody. we anticipate another update very shortly. [indiscernible] . >> at this point, we're talking to the individual, we're engaging the individual and trying to find out a motive. all of the things that come along with the investigations. it takes a long time. a long time. reporter: bombs in the building? >> governor hogan, not so long ago we gathered similarly in southern maryland. the shooting like, this what's in your heart this afternoon, that the leader of this state is dealing with this? >> first thing your heart goes out to people that lost their lives and the other people affected here. it's a tragic situation. two entirely different situation, in southern maryland week had a school resource officer that acted immediately and saved lives, here in 60

seconds the police respond. while both situations are tragic, our response has been incredible and i praise the local officials who have responded so well and perhaps saved other people's lives by getting there while the thing was taking place and apprehending the suspect, and he's in custody. i know it's frustrating because it's not that they don't have information, they can't share the information. we know about the number of fatalities, they know the weapon. but actively going on and it can hinder the investigation by releasing information too soon. i believe when they have the next briefing, they will provide you with more. reporter: do you think it has anything to do with the recent election? . >> no, i don't think so. reporter: was the shooter injured? >> i don't have that information, that will be two things i will check on and have that for the next briefing. reporter: was there an exchange of gunfire with the suspect? >> that will be more information they give out in our next briefing.

[indiscernible] >> i cannot confirm what type of weapon was used in the shooting, so we have several questions that we know we need answered for the next briefing, we anticipate having another briefing within another hour and give the information then. that's all the information we have. we appreciate your time. >> we have one more bit of information, this is the last bit of information until the next briefing. i anticipate another briefing very, very shortly, but there are five fatalities that we know of. there are several other persons that are gravely injured. we will have more information for you in the next briefing. thank you. >> thank you, guys. we'll be with you shortly. melissa: okay, that is the first we have heard from officials around the "capital gazette" after the shooting. the you're looking at video right now of people being evacuated a short time ago. we did learn just now from the news conference, there have been five fatalities, and there

are several people who are gravely injured. we didn't get a number on that. they believe that they have the shooter in custody and they didn't mention anything about any other suspects. we haven't ruled that out entirely. they did say they have secured the scene but have not cleared it yet because there is still an ongoing investigation, and those there at the time have been moved to a nearby location, happens to be a lord & taylor next door so they can be interviewed before they leave the premises. that's about all the facts we received. let's bring in bill daley, former fbi investigator. thank you for joining us. what do you make of those details, quickly, as we just heard them, is there anything that jumps out at you as particularly significant? >> well, unfortunately not much in the way of details regarding motive or any of the other circumstances around the forensic investigation that is ongoing. one thing jumped out at me was

we find maybe a positive theme here which is there was active shooter training done by the police, so they'll be able to respond quickly, they're saying within a minute or so to the location to apprehend the suspect. so i think there's a positive note to be taken from this, and maybe one people should consider as they look across the country that people were prepared, people looking at how to position themselves if there ever is an incident is the best way to be on guard, as they say, the handouts by homeland security and fbi is either run, hide or fight. these are things that individuals need to take into consideration during these incidents. as time goes on, we will learn about the motive, whether it's personally driven, whether it was against the paper itself or whatever the manifestations are

behind this person's behavior, and interesting to find out if there was any leakage in this person's behavior. once the subject's name and background is known, certainly right now, they're looking more at things such as social media footprint. the person's residence. any other contact he or she may have had with other people who may have had any early warning that this incident may have taken place. melissa: one of the things we've seen change over time and have basis for comparison now. one of the things we've seen change is that the police, as they said, they were on the scene within 60 seconds and it's probably not a coincidence that the suspect in this case was taken alive, and it does change the dynamic as so many suspects who go into do this feel they're either going to commit suicide or take their own lives as more are taken alive and then questioned afterwards. i wonder how that changes the

dynamic in terms of planning, response, i don't know, your thoughts? >> well, it certainly does, and as the people who are looking at this and working on solutions learn more about these behaviors and learn more about what the early warning signs are, i think it goes a long way for us being able to help prevent these incidents from manifest, helping to prepare how to better deal with them as they occur either with people in the companies, locations that are targeted or law enforcement to be able to deal with the incident. all of the information is extremely helpful. unfortunately for the poor victims today, i think some of us need closure to understand what would take someone, what would motivate them to commit horrendous act against innocents. that's what dwells in the back of our mind. how can we know ahead of time? prevent this?

help identify people with the behaviors? melissa: one of the reports from the scene they said gunman shot through the glass door in the office and opened fire on multiple employees. as people express frustration feeling that the government isn't doing enough about. this one thing we have in our control is to understand the layout of our own offices and i've gone and looked at my kids' schools and ascertain how safe is it, how safe isn't it, and what is your escape route? this building, we heard reported earlier and we don't have this confirmed, this is what i heard from another reporter that they moved here in 2014, that seems relatively recent that they would have more of a protective barrier or a plan in place. talk to me about how people out there can secure themselves and take safety into their own hands rather than feeling frustrated that the government in their mind isn't acting enough? >> yeah, sure, a great

question, and i think it is one where it is a matter of taking it into your own hands and taking responsibility for yourself, whether you are at workplace, school place, in a shopping mall or wherever you happen to be, be aware of your surroundings. give a quick thought as to what you would do if something was to happen. sounds like you have. i do as well. told my family what you need to do is make sure you're looking for routes you can easily escape, places can you hide. ways you can avoid being confronted by one of the situations or protect yourself until authorities can intervene. it is something most companies are doing active shooter drills, it is something that people are doing, and i would suggest anyone if they don't work for a company to go to homeland security site, the fbi site and very good advice as

you take personal responsibility with. regard to what companies are doing these days, that's a good question is that more and more, i'm seeing companies take some measures, physical measures to prevent people from intruding but protecting individuals from within the work space. protecting views from the outside. i'm not sure how the layout was, but i probably say we're falling short at this point of people putting in ballistic resistive glazing, people in high-risk industries or locations where they think there is an issue. protecting interior views, both from the outside as well as when visitors come through is a very smart thing to do, is limit the understanding as to how an office is laid out, where location of school is laid out or some other location is important, maybe protecting people in the future. melissa: bill, thank you so much. we want you to stand by if you could. we have more breaking news from deirdre bolton. we're going to have you respond

after that. deirdre? reporter: so melissa, the president is tweeting out now, my thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. we're putting his full tweet up on the screen so you can read along with us. he's talking about obviously when he was briefed on this incident at the "capital gazette" in annapolis and thoughts and prayers with the victims and families and thanking the first responders currently on the scene. and, of course, we heard from the county sheriff and the county executive, how quick the first responders were, somewhere between 60 seconds and 90 seconds. one thing i wanted to just put in context too, melissa, the u.s. naval academy is based in annapolis, today sadly is induction day there. you have more people in town. i wonder if more police force weren't local for that reason. you have 1200 new students showing up, pledging next few years of service to the naval academy, learning the correct

way to salute. normally it's an idyllic town, a happy day for families. proud day for families and obviously today completely changing in tone and obviously horrific for those victims' families. you mentioned this, melissa, just as public service, families are able to meet their loved ones at that mall nearby, at that lord & taylor and obviously plenty of law enforcement there, helping the witnesses and helping reconnect them with their families. melissa? melissa: deirdre bolton, thank you so much for that. we'll go back to bill daly for a moment, any more thought us that might have on the situation? >> yeah, you know, i think for all of us as we look at these tragic events and want more more information so quickly, it does take police and coming from a law enforcement perspective, you know, i can understand they don't let us start releasing information

that later on is contradictory or any way leads to misinterpretations of what the incident, what actually took place. so as much as we have the frustrations, we have to give them their time and provide information. adam: bill, it's adam shapiro, real quick, i asked this of another investigator earlier. what are the questions when they apprehend a shooter, the immediate first questions that someone like you would ask that person? >> well, adam, i mean, certainly the first one is that what took you here today? why did you get to this place? what's happened? what are the things that are driving you? and plus, the other question right on the heels of that is who else have you spoken to about this? who else is involved, or who else may have knowledge? and they were probably asked quickly to get access to their home, if not they're going to get a search warrant quickly to look at the home, look at various records. start piecing it together.

and not taking the individual on their word, they're going to reverify that with friends, information they pull from computers, social media. talking to other people they may have known. first two questions is a, is there anyone else out there they should be concerned about? and b, what took them to this day to commit this horrible, horrible act. adam: in your experience, did you have one of those discussions in a situation like this? >> i've never worked on these particular cases. i worked closely with people under behavior analysis unit from the fbi. so i'm familiar with how they would operate, and there's a lot of after the fact that we talked about before with melissa, after the fact analysis that goes on after the incidents, the behavioral analysis unit of the fbi conducts a thorough investigation and tries to put together the bread crumbs that led to the person committing

the act and what could have been the early warning signs. not as if the incidents go and disappear off the headlines, there is ongoing investigations and it is helping those people who do profiling and people do behavioral assessments to better understand whether the modality and what are the leakage, what are some of the bread crumbs that people leave along the way that may give an early warning >> it's hard to add more thoughts at end, remarkable police respond so quickly. that really does little for those who lost loved ones. hard to watch as this continues to go on. i would say this country, bill thank you for joining us. to go over a few facts. this was a shooting at capital gazette, annapolis, maryland, they have confirmed there were 5

fatalities. there are several with grave injuries. one shooter. he is in custody, they think the scene is safe, that does it for myself and add am, the "evening edit" starts right now. liz: staying with breaking news, today may be deadlest incident for journalists. about 30 miles south of baltimore, suspected shooter in custody, under interrogation by detective at this time. police confirming 5 fatalities they know of. several people gravely injured. i am elizabeth macdonald, this is the "evening edit," we get to deirdre bolton. reporter: i can tell you president has
