shingrix today. >> thanks to michelle tafoya. [applause] >> ha ha ha ha ha ha! >> and good evening everyone, welcome to america's late news, i'm trace gallagher in los angeles. breaking news unfolding a suspect remains on the loose after multiple shots fired at michigan state university, police confirming that three people are dead. we do not know whether these are students or faculty or a combination. we know that several others are injured, number 5 given to us but that could change. we are waiting for a news

conference to begin. the severity of injuries we don't know. we do know two of them appear life-threatening and students across campus told to shelter in place. what are we hearing? >> the search for the shooter is ongoing but we have been given a description and pictures of what police say is the suspect they describe him and you see as a black man wearing a jean jacket black pants red shoes they say a navy cap with lighter brim as you can see there and in that pictured and accompanying one they send out he appears to be entering the building and removing a weapon from his pocket. now, the first 911 calls came in about 8:18 so getting close to four hours from the initial

incident trace at berkey hall. the scene of the first shooting. then minutes later about a quarter mile by my reckoning at the union building, according to police there was another shooting incident. the police told us the last press conference 5 people were injured. we know that three people have been killed. the five were taken to sparrow hospital, a hospital there in lansing, michigan. their injuries are varying, two of them legitimate inning. at this point nearly four hours on they're searching for this shooter. that is a huge campus, trace, i think about 5,000 acres a student body of some 50,000 people so it's a massive operation. now michigan state university

police involved, michigan state police on scene and we are told the fbi and atf there so a huge operation. >> we have covered these for years and it's the same protocols they go in clear buildings especially those close to the scenes of the shooting. that's what we students happening now. again we were told there would be a news conference at the top of the hour. it's important because the information in this is changing rapidly. the information in just the last hour since the last news conference has changed dramatically. we had want to be bring in if you saw the top of the screen we bring in students greg glasser as well as harry hill. i know you took some of these images we were seeing tonight. can you tell me what happened and what you saw early going of this shooting? yes, i can. good evening, trace.

around 8:00, me and a couple friends went to get food got back to one of our houses, our friend pulls out his phone starts getting twitter updates about active shooter. later email from michigan state said there was active shooter on campus but by this point we were in a car to pick up a friend at a dorm on campus because at that point nobody knew what was going on. everybody was confused. we wanted to help save everybody we could. we picked him up got home and sheltered in place. everybody was scared. confusing time because they haven't caught the shooter. nobody knows what's going on, just a lot of stuff going on, no one knows the true story so we are trying to shelter best as we can. >> i'm check to go make sure has anybody contacted? have police knocked on your

door? have messages been sent out from the university in the past hour or two hours? >> um not in the past two hours, not police knocking on my door or anything like that like i said smu sent out an email there was active shooter as soon as they could but really we have been sheltering in place, keep away from win going anywhere you can get hurt from. >> that is the best move. greg stand by. harry hill, anybody different accounts can you tell from what greg is telling us? did you have a different experience in you first got notice there was a shooter active shooter on campus? >> yeah. so, i've just been bjorking all night and i was sitting here around 8:00 when i just started getting text messages from people all over east lansing, family calling, and i've just

like you know been sitting here sheltering in place lights off in my office downtown. >> i got to imagine your parents and family have got to be distressed at this point. have you been in contact with them? do they know you're fine? everything good? >> yeah, i've called my mom my dad my grandma. i'm good. >> have you been given, gray back to you, have you been given any guidance on what happens while police are on campus? do you think you'll be locked down for the night? are they giving you breaks? are they giving you specific information about how long you're supposed to be stay sheltered down? >> she haven't given us any information like that they did send out an email classes are canceled next 48 hours show i do have that from the university. past that because it's such an odd situation and as far as i know they haven't caught the

shooter yes will because it's such a flugd ongoing information no we haven't received a lot of direction from the university but i think they've probably told us what they can at this point. >> just as an update i'm bringing back jonathan hunts. the thing is the information as we know has changed. when the news conference happened an hour ago little more we were told there were five people injured two of them life-threatening. we did not hear about the three fatalities. that has changed. of course we now know there are three fatalities 5 people injured two with life-threatening injuries so we expect to get more information but police have their hands full this shooter on the run. >> as far as we know he's on the run. believe not hergd anything from the police at this point to suggest they have found him that he's in custody so as far as we that man is still on the loose, still armed and still the subject of what is obviously a

desperate and huge search with michigan state university police involved, state police involved, and as we understand it the fbi and atf, also on the scene, so, we were expecting them to come out of the top of the hour and give us an update. trace there may be a reason that that is delayed. perhaps there is new information developing right now. you b and always you're talking about the bay this changes. you and i know from long unfortunate experience covering these things it is always does and you're right they said five victims in the first press conference and didn't mention fatalities during that one. we knew of at least one. now they've confirmed three. maybe new information is coming in. that may be why we are waiting for this second conference. >> this is no edition respect to the officers because they're working with information things are fluid out there and as we say all the time the early information in shootings like

this always changes. it has never been static from beginning to end. that's just kind of how these things work. i bring in criminal defense attorney federal litigator vick budage. are you surprised the way this is being handled? you would think the students would get a little more direction what to do even if it's just repeat notice to say, stay where you are. that's the end of it. >> i'm sure they're getting that repeat notice as we heard from students it's shelter in place but what else can they be told? right now skies are busy, technology is moving ahead, it's all systems go. i don't know if this campus in michigan has invested in the technology that allows one to triangulate the sound of gunshots and then use forward looking infrared service to locate the suspect. i bet they have had as most public schools in the union have done that but it's all systems go shelter in place, don't answer the door unless you need to make sure newer a safe place

and communicate with your loved ones. it's all systems go with federal state and municipalities at this point in time trace. >> it's a fascinating scenario because you have had a shooter that went from one building to the next. we very rarely see that it's usually that the shooter will go in and try to barricade themselves inside and go after as many victims as they can, in this case we had a shooter went into berkey hall, i called it berkeley earlier, that's the california aspect, berkey hall was the first scene, 8:18 a shooter walks in and begins opening fire there. we don't know how long the shooting went on but we know the student left berkey hall and jonathan pointed out went maybe the better part after quarter mile away into the union building and opened fire again and we still haven't been told by authorities how many victims were shot in each building. we have not been told if the

victims were students if they were faculty members. we don't know the makeup and we do not know the motive because we don't have a suspect and maybe police do. i mean you have a picture of him so there's a very good chance that police have probably identified, vick, this person from the pictures because they've got good technology. it's been four hours. there's a big chance we goents know bit but they have identified this person and there are crews now at every place and family member that this person has. >> absolutely without shadow of doubt i would bet the farm they've already identified this person through the intensive surveillance and facial identification software that every campus in the union now has. they'll go to where this person for example, loved ones, family members, friends perhaps vehicles, through license reader technology to see how he got on campus where he went the past week and frieng late to find the

suspect. >> i'm going back to harry hill and greg glasser. greg can you give us an idea as we wait for the news conference to begin what the makeup is of berkey hall? one, what is it and 2 what's the mupd and what do you know about it and do you know anybody who happens to reside in there or has classes in there? >> so i don't know anyone that resides in berkey hall. i do actually take a class in berkey hall. i can say it's a large building with a lot of classrooms in it and we were list inning to a police scanner and i heard them reference the basement but there's a large basement of berkey hall like a warehouse. i know the shooting started in berkey and went to a cafeteria afterwards because i had friends in that cafeteria that watched people get shot. so can i say that happened but berkey hall itself it's like a

communications science building with classes. it's a big hall but i don't know anybody thank god that was in there. >> i don't want you to identify any of the people that were in the cafeteria but can you at least relay for us can they tell you what they were seeing? can they tell you what the scene was and if it was filled, mediumly filled? what was the actual setup inside the union? >> it's a super busy time. it was at dinner time so of course that's one of the most popular times to eat on campus but from my friend's points of view he said he watched a kid get shot in the head. i know from another kid i know he left his phone in the cafeteria because he ran out so fast but he said he saw multiple people shot. most of the people i've heard talk to me personally about it they told need they were in the union when the shooting happened. that's where they saw it. i also have a friend that sent me a picture from outside like

two body bags outside a building. all sorts of stuff going on but no one really knows what's going on with a lot of confusion now. >> it's awful and lastly i'm wondering you say you pointed out what your, what the people you know have seen. did they hear anything? did this person who came in shooting, did he say anything? did he speak at all that you know of? >> no. no. i can't say i heard anyone say that he said any words or anything that he said and three p they were probably toe focused on getting out but no i haven't heard nigd like that. >> stand by if you would i want to bring back harry hill. harry can you add to what greg is talking there give an idea what you know of berkey and the cafeteria? >> yes, so i have four classes this semester, three of them in berkey. i know it's mainly used for social science classes, with

just some other general classes, also being in there it's a pretty big hall, a pretty standard like classroom building on campus. >> yeah. and you unlike or like greg did you know anybody who happened to be in the hall at the time? >> fortunately no one i knew was really on the north side of campus and we were either off campus or working. >> yeah. stand by if you would. we have more breaking news as jonathan was talking to me earlier about the fact the reason that these news conferences are often delayed is because they have new information they want to get correct and we are hearing from detroit fox news affiliate, is that right? they're reporting to us the

shooter has been found dead. the shooter has been found dead. we don't know where. we don't know the circumstances around that jonathan hunts, but the shooter being found dead we haven't heard of police contact if this person took his own life, bee don't know if there was a confrontation with police and all that is unknown and probably the key part of this is where he was found dead because that would determine how far he got wade and if he were going to a third location. >> we had heard the michigan state state university police say they flooded this campus with hundreds of officers as we were saying from momentum agencies so there is certainly the possibility that the shooter was confronted by the police in this. there's a lot of social media traffic as there always is in these situations, painting certain scenarios, what i bo say

is that what we were saying they often delay these news conferences because there is an important development in this. i would imagine that in the next few minutes in the officers do step to that podium you can see in the bottom right of the screen there we are going to hear some significant information and get the details if indeed our fox affiliates in detroit is correct that the shooter has been found dead, we will get details how it happened but i wouldn't be surprised given what the police said about the number of officers on scene fit involved a confrontation. >> if our fox affiliates we saw the live shot pop up if we can monitor that and find out what they're saying that might be a good place to get important information. it always is vick one of those

things in you use the language of finding when you find a shooter who is dead the phrasing usually is the shooter has been neutralized. the shooter is down. that means there was police involvement. hearing shooter is dead, it sometimes indicates self-inflicted wounds. are you reading anything into this? >> well, from my perspective it would be very hard to believe that law enforcement would not be able to triangulate this suspect and locate him and confront him in the number of minutes and hours that have passed since the first shooting. i would be absolutely floored if it were possible this were something where he was just out on the lam and confronted and took his life after many hours. i wouldn't be surprised if we hear difficulties tingts details of a lengthy confrontation, perhaps a negotiation before the fatality occurred. >> that is the thing it's a little bits of both world's where you have police closing in

they know where the suspect and rights as the police are about to close in the suspect takes his life. >> that's right. >> we have seen that happen time and time again but i'm curious because police were all over campus and i'm sure as they probably said identified the shooter at some point in time the last miles per hour hours as soon as they got that picture. ufshly when they put it out they're asking for some help but sometimes it's standard hospital rating procedure. they put the picture out because of transparency and they have the information to identify that by talking to former students by going through identification process and they have a pretty good idea where that shooter may or may not be holed up. >> that's correct and the first place to start is the last shooting and we have different locations as you astutely point out so that's the last information we have seen the suggs. from that point knowing it was not just one location or one cafeteria or one gathering area there's movement that can then be used to predict where that suspect will then go or maintain

himself at that point, because after the first shooting you bet your bottom dollar there's a lot of police presence. >> bet. back to gray. what are you hearing? our fox affiliates has now confirmed that the shooter is dead. we don't know what capacity. >> yeah, pretty much the word on campus from all my friends is the shooter shot himself in the head. i think as police were closing in he shot himself in the head. i can't confirm but that's what all my friends are saying. that's what they're hearing on social media from other michigan state students is he shot himself in the head. >> was there any word gray on where he was when police were closing in? was knee on campus off campus do we know? >> i don't think he was off campus and i heard he was heading toward lansing so lansing is about four miles away. they are saying he was headed toward lansing.

how true that is i can't confirm. that's the word on campus like i said there's so much information going around but i heard he was moving toward lansing and we have been following with the police scanner because we wants to get as much information as we can but we heard he was heading toward lansing and as i was preparing to come on here one of my friends came in said he shots himself in the head which is of course relief. >> harry hill, do you know what are you hearing, anything else on campus that students or information they're gleen something. >> yes, so that is actually the first, you people are the first people that told me that. i'm alone here at work but i'm glad to hear they had funds him and hopefully stopped in. >> harry tell me in you say you're at work, where are you? are you off campus on campus, with other people sheltering in

place? >> so i am off campus downtown over by the downtown target in east lansing and i'm alone. i just basically am a security guard right now sort of thing for the parking garages. i just opened and lower the gaith when people have trouble so i've been here kind of ticking people but sinks i've been on the phone with you that's the first i've heard of anything like that. >> that is from our fox affiliates what harry is saying our fox affiliate is reporting that the shooter we saw the picture earlier, a black person short in stature wearing a jeans jacket with red tennis shoes and a mask is dead and we are still waiting. the word is this appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound as the police got closer but we are about 22, 23 minutes past the hour waiting for police to hold a news conference to give us the

latest update and as we have been saying one of the reasons that police delay these is because there's big information. this clearly is big information and again we are getting word from one of our students that there's talk that he may have been leaving the dam us to go else where. again that's unconfirmed. but it's important because where the location of the shooter is is pivotal to know where the next move might have been and how do you get out of berkey hall and make it over to the cafeteria and thrown make it out of the cafeteria and on to this sprawling campus as jonathan pointed sought 50,000-plus acres and how do you get from there to point c where we know that this person was apparently found dead, jonathan? i think it's one of those cases where you know the information is fluent, and this is going to be the top of the next news conference. >> we are waiting to hear what

the michigan state university police chief chris rozman has to say. we assume we are waiting for this significant development to be formally announced the development that our affiliate fox 2 in detroit has reported the shooter is indeed dead possibly after being confronted by police possibly taking his own but as you rightly point out trace these are details which often change in the ongoing nature of the events but talking to gray and harry there, trace, it just strikes me they got these alerts from msu, a part of which was run hide and fight, explained in the alert as basically run if you can hide if you need to fight if you must. the terror of getting those you and i have daughters as colleges, the thoughts of them getting a message like that and the way that both gray and harry are so composed talking to us, a

testament to their strength, as they wait for word whether the shootered is dead. >> think about protocols and the things that have changed going back to columbine where the see school shootings approached is pretty much uniform and the run hide fight thing in the wake of the virginia tech shootings where we have to come up protocols and we uvalde. so in a situation like this you've got shootsers who are moving from building to building and you have police that we don't know where they were get. we don't know how many seconds. the shooter could have been in berkey hall for seconds and moved to the cafeteria for a few seconds and moved on. that's how these things work and you can see the news conference

is about to start right here. let's listen in. >> we are going to go ahead and get started. good afternoon or good evening, excuse me, i'm marlon allege, vice-president public safety chief of police michigan state university. tragic series events have occurred here this evening of weave had a tremendous amount of support from our communities to include our law enforcement partners who are here with me at the moment as well. standing at the far fight county prosecutor john duwane, next to us, sheriff scott, special agent fbi jim and deputy chief chris rozman. thank you for coming to this sheriffs update in regard to tonight's events. we will get directly to the most

recent update with that and then we will have comment and questions. >> thank you chief. again, chris rozman deputy chief with michigan state police and public safety. we start tonight by sharing an important update and that update is the suspect in this incident was located outside of the smu campus. and it does appear that that suspect has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. it is confirmed that he is deceased. this truly has been a nightmare that we are living tonight. but we have remained laser focused on the safety of our campus our students and the surrounding community. we are relieved to no longer have an active threat on campus.

while we realize there is so much healing that will need to take place after this. again, to reiterate the update, there is no longer a threat to campus. we believe there to only be one shooter in this incident. and there is no longer a need to shelter in place on campus. there's no longer a threat on campus. we are sad to report that there have been three confirmed fatalities. this is in addition to the five victims who were injured and transported to the hospital. some of those five victims still have life-threatening injuries. out of respect for the families, and while we continue our active investigation, we cannot confirm

any personal information about any of the victims at this time. again, we want to reiterate to everybody that we know there is a lot of information that's being shared on social media and being said on the scanner. please continue to get your information from us. we are committed to sharing timely and transparent information. our hearts are with those who everybody affected by this senseless act of violence. giving an update like this is never easy. as a father, i can only imagine how parents are feeling rights now. this will be the beginning of a long healing process for everyone who has been affected. that's the information we are able to share at this point.

i'll conclude by saying that again, this is still a fluid situation. there are several different crime scenes that we are processing with our state and federal partners and there's a lot of work that still needs to be done. at this time, i'm going to turn it over to special agent in charge james tersca from the fbi. >> good evening. i'm jim terasca special agent in charge fbi michigan. our hearts go out to the victims their families, and the entire community. i would like to thank chief lynch for your leadership tonight and your partnership. this evening fbi agents in b and response teams joined law enforcement partners to assist in investigating this horrific

incidents. we will continue to investigate until we are sure no further threat is posed to the public which at this point we are pretty clear it's not. a additionally we will provide victim services to all students impacted by this inks dent. we are asking the public in addition to the other numbers provided to call for information we have the 1-800 call fbi number. please feel free to use that, with tips. this is an ongoing investigation. we will continues investigating throughout the night and likely days. so with that chief, thank you. >> in addition to the fbi tip line, believe counselless investigators from not only only from local county and state

federal partners assisting us with this investigation and there still is a lot to do. i'm going to provide another 8 hundred number and email address for anybody that may have information that will help our investigators as we put the pieces together for in incidents. that phone number and we will also share it on our social media is 844-99-msupd. and our tip line is tips@police.msudedu. our investigators will continue to work tonight around the clock to process the crime scenes and start to put the pieces together to fry to understand what happened here tonight. at this time, we will open it up for a couple of questions.

i just want to say please understand that sharing information as quick as we can. there's a lot we don't know at this point. it's dynamic it's still fluid and we will do our begs to answer your questions and i'll start in front. >> did this affect a faculty member, unsur. >> we are unsure of any affiliation the suspect had to the university. our investigators and officers are working to determine his identity. once his eye dents i had the is determined, we will then look to what connection he may have had to our community, but at this time that's still part of our investigation. >> [inaudible] >> so, we continues to work to identify the victims in this case. out of respect for their families as we work through the process, we are not going to

identify or confirm if any of the victims at this point are smu students. that is something that we're quickly working to determine. that will be a priority for us. in the back. >> [inaudible] >> i actually don't have that information. all we can confirm at this point is three fatalities at the scene on campus, and five victims that were transported. that is all the information that we have. however, we will work to determine the specific eye dentsty of those victims and their affiliation to campus if any. over here. >> [inaudible] >> so the first question was the location of the shootings. we can confirm that the first shooting occurred at berkey hall

and the second subsequent shooting at the smu union, which is adjacent to berkey hall. victims were located at both of those locations. there were no other scenes or a shooting did not take place at any other locations. there were erroneous reports that there were additional shooting scenes and that is not true. the question about what the suspect had in his possession when he had was contacted, i cannot confirm that right now. we did release some pictures of the suspect. i cannot confirm if he was possession hag bag at that time. over here. >> do we know what type of gun was useed. >> we do not at this point. we do not have that information. that will be part of this investigation in terms bhaf type of weapon was used. we do not have that information

at this time. our investigators are working. that's part of the investigation we are putting the peegsz together right now. over here. >> do we have information about what was the motive? >> we have absolutely information right now on what the motive is, and i can't even begin to imagine what that motive would be. that will obviously be part of our investigation. i know that that is going to be a question that linkers on everybody's mind. we will do our best to determine that but believe no idea. >> how many officers agents assisted you in this operation? >> the initial response to the initial shooting was overwhelming. everyone of our law enforcement partners in ingham county responded to the scene. additional county showed up, along with our federal partners

and i'm comfortable saying in the hundreds. we had hundreds of law enforcement officers from university, local, county, state, and federal. from the mid michigan area that descended on campus today in a kroitd effort to resolve this incident and secured our campus. in the back, news 6. >> [inaudible] >> i continues have that information. my understanding is she is returning to campus, and has been briefed on this incident and i can only imagine what she's feeling at this point. our focus up to this point has really been on the safety of our campus and the public safety operations at hand and we have briefed not only our president but our executive leadership team every step of the way n. addition to that we activated our emergency operation center and put our plans in place that

we have plannedr planned for in incidents similar to this. we initiated those plans and part of the reason that it was is as smooth as it was in this tragic situation was because of the proceed planning the emergency plans and the training that we do county-wide for responding to active violence incidents. in the back. >> can you confirm how many fatalities in each shooting locations and how many people were at those locations when the shooting started? >> sure. the question was how many victims at each shooting scene. i unfortunately do not p not have that information. out of bun dance of transparency i can share two of the fatalities were at berkey hall one at the smu union. the other five victims i don't have the specific lowell occasion where they were.

we also don't have specific information on how many students or people were in those buildings when the shooting occurred. i do know there were students in those buildings. i don't have a specific number. i want to commend the students and our community on how they reacted when we sent out our emergency messaging instructing people to shelter in place to run hide fight. our community listened and a lot of folks in those buildings were able to escape is because of following our instructions. over here in the back. >> you talk about collaboration. [inaudible] >> i actually don't have that information right now. the update that we provided about the contact that we had with the suspect off campus, was very fluid and dynamic and occurred right before coming in

here today. so unfortunately i don't have that information on what led us to his location. he was contacted by law enforcement. he was contacted by law enforcement off us. i cannot confirm that location right now. that scene is also being treated as a crime scene, and is being investigated as we speak. we may have additional information to share relating to that in the future. over here. go ahead. >> the five victims, are still of them in criminal condition, are some in stable condition? what is the range of their conditions? >> we don't not have a current update on the five victims that are at the hospital. i'm aware that they experienced life-threatening injuries. we hope to have an update from the hospital and i think at future briefings we will have a representative from the hospital here that may be able to share

additional information as well. sir. >> thank you. were the shooting victims all in one location like a class room? >> i don't have that information. that will be part of our investigation in terms of where the victims were located between the building. we don't have that information rights now. >> are there plans to close campus beyond the 48 hours? >> at this point we are declaring that campus will be closed for 48 hours. that is the current status right now. that is subject to change as we evaluate our response to this incident, keeping the victims and the students of our community who have been impacted by this tragedy at the forefront. if we need to extend that, we will, and the appropriate conversations are going on to make that determination.

sir. >> [inaudible] >> i can confirm that the photograph that we pushed out immediately as part of our transparent information-sharing is the same suspect that it was found deceased, yes. sir. >> can parents come to the campus to pick up students? >> yes, so we have lifted the shelter in place. that communication was sent out during this conference. students are free to leave and go about their business if they would like to be picked up, they may do that. we encourage any student that experienced any part of this incident that may be a witness to contact us. we have already been in touch with several of them but if there are any students that witnessed any of the tragedy that occurred tonight we would

refer them to our tip line and email. we would like to have an investigator speak with them to understand what their experience was during this tragic incidents. in the back. >> [inaudible] >> we do not have any information on whether anybody confronted the shooter at either one of those buildings, one way or the other. part of the investigation we will look at the sequence of events and what occurred at each building, and that's why we encourage any students or witnesses to come forward to help us sequence the pieces of information together. go ahead. >> [inaudible] >> so, we have not received any threats to campus in the last several days or before this

incident. we have not received any threats to our knowledge. obviously our state and federal partners are constantly monitoring different sources to provide information to us answered to my knowledge right now we were not aware after threat before this. what was the second part of your question? >> how did you stop the suspect? did he shoot himself before you made contact? >> i don't have particular details how the encounter happened when law enforcement confronted if suspect off campus. that will be part of our investigation but don't have the specific details of how that incidents transpired. >> [inaudible] >> the first report we received was at 8:18 p.m. . 8:58 p.m. we responded in force

we had michigan state police, marion county police department, initially responded to that scene within minutes. we had officers in the building following their active shooter protocol and going towards the threat. while officers were in berkey hall the suspect moved over to the union and when the incidents took place there officers quickly redeployed to the union and that's when the suspect left tout north door of the union which was the points that he was last seen. >> one more question and then we will provide an additional update. >> we will take one more question and do an update at 1:30 less than an hour from now. go ahead. >> [inaudible] what was the location the shooter was funds? >> so we're not going to share any information about that specific location where that occurred. i can assure you it was off

campus. it wasn't directly near campus at all. it was an off campus location because that scene is still active as well, we are not going to disclose that particular locations right now. again, we really do appreciate -- go ahead. i turn it over to the vice-president. >> i just wanted to end with in particular comment. we had can't describe and appreciate the response that we have our partners in our community. the number of police officers, emergency medical service, fire departments, that showed up literally within minutes to support in effort, it's completely overwhelming with that. if you were on camp pugs at the time, you saw with that. they're still there, still clearing buildings. it's a very methods cal process. we had the numbers to dewpoints and it's only because of the relationships we have here locally and the ability to train

and partner constantly and the communication is always there. it's a situation that when one department receives a call everybody does. with that, we are extremely grateful for our relationships. it would the november not have been as thorough and as ex-peed yents and efficient than it has been to this point without those partnerships. i just wants to take a moment to thank our partners with that as well as our communities for being responsive to the messaging that was cents to they had this evening. thank you, and we'll see you at 1:30. >> but of course the response is always a big part of the investigation because now you have a shootered who went to not one but two separate locations and the questions will arise how fast did police get there. how long did it take this shootered to get off campus, because the big headline of that news conference was that the shooter unnamed at this point the same person they sent the picture out of, was shot or was

dead when they found him of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. it is our belief because they said they con taktdz the shooter. we don't think that's called him on phone or texted mean, it means they came in contact with him they found out where he was and as they closed in he took his life. we had should point out it wasn't asked in the news conference was in a targeted shooting, did he go into these different areas with intent to kill certain people. that is unclear right now. we can tell you that two of the fatalities there, about three fail fist and five people that are in a hospital right now, two of them suffering let inning injuries. we have just found out that sparrow medical center is a level one trauma center and in our history and our understanding is when you get people to a level one trauma center their odds become extraordinarily better than if you get them to a lesser

hospital but it's an interesting scenario because i wants to bring police lieutenant randy sut on the -- sutton, when you hear about we contacted the suspect, what the does that tell you? >> that makes me think that law enforcement had identified him in some way and had been approaching that individual when he took his own life. of course, they're being closed mouthed about how the confrontation took place if there was a confrontation or this individual might have known that law enforcement was closing in on him and decided to take the action that he took. this is not an unusual set of circumstances. a mass killer, who does an act of shooting like this inevitablely they're going to die at the hands of the police

or generally speaking die at their own hands. every now and then there's an arrest made but for the most part an individual like this makes a determination about the end of their own life, even prior to going into such a horrendous set of circumstances, where they will take the, the lives of innocents. >> very quickly randy i want to ask you if the two locations, does it set up alarms for when you you have a person a shooter go into separate locations? does it is tell that you there was specific intent in each of these locations or is this some one who is crazed and just wants to kill as and people as possible? >> it is shows that there's a familiarity with the campus so my first thought process is that this was not a random killing, that there was something targeted here for whatever bizarre reason was in this

individual's mind. could it be particular people that were in those locations? yes. could it be he was targeting a learning institution for some other purpose in his own mind? that's a possibility too but it's kinds of unusual that an individual like this would choose to basically take on a campus and then choose different locations in that campus randomly. my guess is that there is some connection, this individual has with either of the campus itself or at least one of the victims. >> stand bid randy because vick it's a good police. police don't know the affiliation of this suspect. they were asked was he a faculty member, was he a students.

they said they didn't know and b and that's important. >> absolutely and what they say or reveal is probably markedly different from what they actually know. we just heard from the chief of police there that they didn't know the identity. i'm hard pressed to believe that we talk about the triangulation, they identified the individual. he was found or confronted off campus which means he was i'd they are in a vehicle who are there was facial recognition if he was on foot which i doubt if he was escaping a shooting like this or it was a location he frequented so we can't put a lot of stock? what we are hearing as far as being gospel. >> jonathan with a backpack, right? he had a backpack possibility of more weapons more ammunition this is an awful scenario might have been worse. >> yes, may well everybody worse. the michigan state university police chief there not confirming the backpack. as you look at that picture it's interesting of him there. looks as though there are straps over his shoulder there so that

may well have been the backpack in which there are reports he had was carrying more ammunition possibly another weapon. looks though as well or that we know from the police chief, trace, that he was off campus in they confronted him. looking at where both berkey hall are and the union building on that campus they're both on the very northern edge and the police chief did say he went out the north door of the union building that would put him from what i'm looking at within just a few yards of one of the main roads running alongside campus there so as vick says whether it was by vick or on foot he could get off campus are very quickly from the union building and appears he did and police found him. >> i just wants to go quickly back to gray glasser. the campus is open, are you leaving? are you staying? what's your plan? >> um right now i want to stay herd and be with me friends,ed m

probably have a few trips to their parents but i keep level of normalcy and kind of keep doing what i do. >> best of luck to you and your friends, gray. thanks for helping us out. harry, any find words for you? >> i would like to bring in randy sutton. take us into tomorrow. what's the next step? hive got about 15 seconds for. >> now the investigation truly begins what was the motivation, what is going to be on this individual's computer, what's going to be on his phone, is this motivated by some relationship issues? is it related to you know something that he has a grudge against the school. now the investigation is going to begin where the answers come as to why. that's of course on everyone's mind. >> why is the biggest question of all of these shootings we see and again, just to update you,
