>> he is live now with the latest with this. what a scene this was, david. >> reporter: indeed, ama and dan. i'm standing still in the same place we've been all afternoon right across from the arco gas station where this hostage drama has been unfold read for a four-hour timeframe. you can see the highway patrol blocking some of the streets and local police inside the building continuing to look for clues as to what happened there and there are also vehicles there that were still trapped and getting gasoline at the time. let's turn back to 11:30 this morning and sky 7 hd was overhead as the man was trying to allude police in the burgundy car and the highway patrol tried to help setting up a spike strip. contra loma boulevard, it crashed into a street-level barrier. the suspect tried to force his way into two cars on the off-ramp pointing to what one driver described as a 357

revolver. the driver described the suspect as desperate to get away. >> i was coming off exits on the freeway and stopped at the stop light and the guy ran up to the car with the gunpointed at me shaking, trying to get in the door and all i did was lay down in the street and just floated and came up the street, and i heard a gun shot and then i heard two more, i think it was, and that was it, man. i just thank god i'm alive. >> he looked very desperate. he looked like whoever that let him in he was going to get in that car and he was either going to kill them take the car or whatever he needed to do to get away. >> now the suspect ran over to this arco gas station when he wasn't able to commandeer a vehicle. he got inside holding two people hostage for about three hours and at about 2:30 or three hours into the ordeal, one of the hostages managed to drive up the service bay and escaped and he appeared to be disoriented at

first and not sure which way to run. a small armored carrier picked him up and took him to the safety of the antioch police department. >> we heard noises earlier of someone banging on a door trying to get out. police drove an armored vehicle close to the front door to check things out. it took another hour before the gunman and the second hostage apparently an arco station came out and police maintained a perimeter to keep the public and media from getting too close because the suspect was armed. >> as you look again at the gas station there. you see lots of vehicles parked there at the pumps and those people are hostages too. they're standing out here with me waiting to get back to their vehicles and it is a crime scene so they are not able to claim their cars back this afternoon and there's also a woman who also apparently ran into some of the shriveled spike strip and so she is being held here as well because she has a story to tell to antioch police. we'll continue to update this. our colleague alan wang is at

horrific foul that you saw monday night and when he crashed over trevor and hit the floor, the big concern was a possible concussion and they called it contusion and stepped into the nba's concussion protocol and they checked him out fine and he did return to the game. steph said this morning he's still feeling the effects of that fall and nothing that will stop him from taking the court tonight. >> my whole right side took the brunt of that force to my head, so basically like a bruise all of the way up and down your body. i want to think about tonight to stay out of the paint. i won't jump at any pump fakes. so i'll be more disciplined in that regard but other than that, stay aggressive and stay in attack mode and the offense and defense. there is one noticeable difference for steph tonight. he'll wear a sleeve on his right arm and elbow because of

soreness on that ball. a lot of players wear compression kind of sleeves. steph said he used it in practice this morning and it was taking him a little bit of time to get used to it because he doesn't normally wear one, but we will see him in gave five with that sleeve on and we'll see how he adjusts to it and some guys take the sleeves off because they don't like it. we have warm-ups going on and harrison barnes is over here to my right and steph is scheduled to warm up and do his usual two-ball routine and try to hit a shot from about 50 feet and that's at 4:45 typically for a 6:00 start. we'll be up live on periscope to bring you that. if you have the twitter app up on periscope, don't leave dan and ama. that is for viewing only! >> around 4:45, we'll see. dan and ama back to you. >> we appreciate it very much. >> maybe tonight will be the night. >> today is a busy day at the coliseum and the as play the
