>> breaking news out of aurora, colorado where we just heard from the police department that they have eliminated the trip wires in the apartment of the suspect in that mass shooting and adam housley is outside the perimeter of that area. some exclusive information how they're going to get in there, right? >> yes, rick, we've got all sorts of information. they've gotten rid of the trip wire threats, but significant threats inside the apartment. the issue is because it's so hot here they want to put a bomb technician in the full suit, armor, you've seen in other situations. the problem it's so warm, but it may be too warm to put him in the suit at this hour and try to determine whether or not they'll do that. they may have to wait until
2:34 pm
later in the day to have the bomb technician. we're told inside the apartment the setup was intricate unbelievable how well he set things up. however, we're told the bombs were not as intricate. much more amateur, but they were a threat. and we have the explosion. [explosion] >> okay, at that was a water bomb. what they did, they lowered in, long black rod we showed you earlier on fox. they lowered that in and set it off. the guide was to suppress with water any of the threats and potentially spray that water to set off any of the booby traps, wires, so to speak and they say the water bomb is the best way to do that. if you use one of the other small explosive devices, it would be like throwing fuel on the fire, where water does not do that. so, they said that was successful and that was that loud bang we heard about 45 minutes ago, was the water bomb being set off. that gives them then tri point that we have been talking
2:35 pm
about for the last, oh, gosh, 28 hours now. that allows them to put a bomb technician inside to look at the threats and issue now is the heat and whether or not that bomb technician can wear all of that armor. so, we'll keep you updated and the fast and furious as you know, the situation continues to be dealt just behind me. >> back to you. >> thanks so much. >> all right. >> thanks, adam. meantime, hospitals in the area, there in aurora, well, they were slammed with dozens of patients seeking treatment for yesterday's shooting of the even after the physical wounds have healed, survivors can face a long road to recovery. the senior managing editor, dr. manny alvarez joins us right now and dr. manny, i imagine there are different phases of recovery, walk us through it. >> and the initial phase is immediately after, hospitals have a plan and usually go to red alert and immediately doctors and trauma teams get summoned to the hospital and
2:36 pm
all elective surgery removed from the hospital and the health issues in that community bypassed to the hospital outside the immediate area. many doctors have come on air and told you many of the persons to assess the injuries and critically ill patients and stabilize and those that are okay, monitor for a while and also, the injuries, whether they need surgery, whether they need -- any broken bones, the things that the trauma surgeons, the orthopedic surgeons need to deal with. you know, look, the big issue, of course, is going to be what happens afterwards. and if you look at the people that have been injured, we still don't know if the different qualities of injuries that we have are people, are they going to be able to-- are they going to need chronic rehabilitation to get back on their feet. that's the whole big question, and also, the whole emotional aspect of this is so enormous in my mind, that this is so
2:37 pm
enormous that it's going to shake this nation to its core. when we look at things that happened after columbine, you know, this is ten years almost after columbine, we still see the effects. the psychological effects from that massacre. and what happens, immediately after this, you're going to see an increase use of alcohol and drugs because you know, after all the cameras leave, after all the police goes away, after we stop reporting it, people want to forget. and they're going to go to things that make them forget, so, for that community, you know, you have to be aware of the challenges, especially in the adolescent challenges because face a lot of young kids that are going to be affected by this and then of course, the post traumatic stress disorder. if you look at the statistics of post traumatic stress disorder. about 36% of people you know, are involved with this, whether you're a family member or a victim yourself or the
2:38 pm
first responders, 36% of them could easily develop post traumatic stress disorder. the entire community and even the nation, as far as i'm concerned, you know, we can be affected by post traumatic stress disorder at the time. and it's a challenge in the health care field. >> rick: at what point, somebody who may be experiencing anxiety or stress as a result of having either been in that theater or even watching coverage, the news coverage of the event, at what point do you go from saying, look, this is a temporary thing, to i need to get some professional help? >> look, the first thing, people are watching, glued to the tv and watching the event and you may have difficulty going to sleep and may have anxiety and may not want to go to the movies. on the other side of the coin, if you're feeling you have difficulty sleeping after a month or so, now, you're beginning to deal with issues that perhaps you need counseling and dr. keith
2:39 pm
ablow, a part of the fox medical a-team has written extensively and articles on foxnews.com, some of the mental health issues people are going to be facing. this is huge as far as i'm concerned and that community is going to really need a long time to heal. and as well as the whole nation. >> arthel: yeah, it's not just-- it's the healers themselves and the doctors treating the patients as well. >> oh, everybody, i mean, everybody. right now, my kids asked me, can i go to the movies? my first inclination is to say no. but you know what, we have to keep on living, but can't forget, that's the whole thing, we cannot forget. >> so interesting you say that, and i was interviewing a mother and her son and said to her, something you kind of wonder as a parent, you know, stay away from this, but you have to keep going and try to get back to normal way of living. >> rieft. >> arthel: dr. manny alvarez, good to see you dr. manny. as dr. manny was saying, anyone with children knows, they know how hard it can be

>> you're looking at the scene outside of the shooting suspect james holmes' apartment. we've been watching it for the better part of the afternoon. police there saying they've removed the trip wires that holmes had apparently rigged in his and the and they have now reached a point where a bomb squad technician can safely get inside. and they expect the bomb squad to find other devices once they get in there and we heard from adam housley a few minutes ago that the intense heat that's over 100 degrees in aurora right now is giving the police reason to pause. maybe to do this a little later on, because the bomb technician would have to put on such a heavy suit they're worried about the safety with the heat inside the suit and the heat actually just on ground there and they may wait until later until the temperatures cool down and we'll keep an eye on that and keep you posted. >> arthel: meantime, in light of the shooting the theaters around the country are

2:59 pm
investigators have been trying to figure out inside that apartment without triggering a blast that would destroy the building and perhaps surrounding buildings but perhaps important evidence. they have been working towards getting it done, getting a bomb squad technician into the apartment. the heat may be an issue, as well. and searing heat that people are experiencing today. about hundred degrees, police have set off a small detonation. they have disarmed one device. as arthel said there are more inside. now with the latest, adam that was the sound that you heard a couple hours ago, one of those debt nations we were just talking about. >> reporter: we heard three detonations all told. two small ones and another one that was a water bomb. i
