we are following breaking news conch here on the california shooting rampage. i'm david muir at abc news headquarter in new york. welcome to this special edition of "world news tonight." we want to get right to the breaking news, just moments ago from authorities about the southern california deadly rampage. just a short time ago, before the cameras, authorities, the sheriff's department and the fbi confirming that two suspects are now dead. they were wearing assault-style weapons and clothing. inside the car, the suv that had been surrounded by a hot pursuit in the streets and the gun battle that broke out. many of the windows blown right out of the suv in that car. surrounded and for some time, authorities took great care

before moving in. this is the scene right here, that played out for much of the afternoon and into the evening. we now know that a man and a woman were inside that suv, both were killed. and as i mentioned, they were wearing assault-style clothing, there were weapons in the car. a handguns and assault-style weapons. according to authorities just moments ago. they came upon this couple and this vehicle while searching a home, redlands, california, they have a search warrant for that home. when they arrived on the scene, they said they witnessed a car taking off, and that's when this whole search began. the pursuit of this car. there was a collision before this scene with another pickup truck. a third person was seen running away from that car. we now know that that person has been detained, but they were very careful, just moments ago, not to say whether or not that third person is, in fact, a suspect. if that person is linked to the horror that unfolded there at that community center today. but we do know that that search warrant still in place, about ten miles away from the scene

and the fbi, in a very carefully-worded answer just moments ago saying that they are exploring the possibility now, the possibility that this was terrorism, that this couple -- it's unclear what the relationship was, if they were inspired by some group, perhaps overseas or something they have seen here in america. but the fact he would acknowledge this, brian ross, our chief investigative correspondent, all afternoon, was a big development. >> they are now moving in that direction, they have made adjustments to their investigation, to open the possibility of terrorism. he did not say he's prepared to call it an act of international terrorism, but he says he is moving in that direction. based on what they've learned. the discovery of this house from a phone tip, officers responding to that and seeing the car take off, has now given them a solid lead as to who those people are. they know that. and what their backgrounds could be. >> we simply don't know who they are at this hour but it was a

phone tip, as you point out, and they were very careful to say, this third person running from the vehicle, they wouldn't say if that person is a suspect, and they could not put the public at ease, whether or not there are more people involved, and if this was part of a larger plan. >> he opened up the possibility of more than three suspects. there could be others involved in the planning, according to the police chief. we still don't know. >> a frightening scene continuing to play out. this is as the sun was going down in san bernadino. you can see, communities, they were going from home to home, in this community, carefully, and we were watching as they would start with the driveway in front, work their way to the home and in the back. but the concern was that as the sun went down this would become even more difficult, this operation to move through this community and sort of sufigure t the situation. pierre thomas, you have covered, sadly, so many of these mass shootings now, but the fact that there was a man and a woman wearing tactical gear, can you

remember the last case where we had detail like this? >> it's been a long time. in recent years, we have not had a case like this. the combination of the gear, the combination of the fact that they had long guns and handguns, the possibility of explosives is what's leading them to think possibly terrorism. they're not quite really willing to go there quite yet. but you can rest assured, they have a very good idea of who is involved and an exhaustive background investigation is under way and i expect in the coming hours they will give us more information on motive. >> we cannot forget, 14 peop people -- 14 people lost their lives inside that center, in a matter of minutes. that was a building that had been reserved for a holiday banquet today and this began at about 11:00 a.m. california time. there are several buildings in that community in san bernadino on that particular campus. you can see the map right there. and we've been told that there's

actually security at several of those buildings. you need a badge or i.d. to get in, but in that particular building alone, they generally allow people to come in and out of the door when they know there's an event being held at that building. we know that they still are continuing their work. they're invest fwating on the site, because we also learned just moments ago, potential explosive device at the scene of the attack, and you are looking at live pictures tonight, heavy police presence on the scene. we were watching as workers inside were led out of the building, their hands in the air and many of them after having endured what happened inside were involved in the pat-downs that followed. we've seen so many situations where authorities arrive on the scene, unsure who they are dealing with and have to go person by person. there's a golf course across the street. medevac helicopters landing there to rush people to the hospital where we do have a reporter tonight, who tells us there is at least one patient still in surgery. several fighting for their lives. one patient, though, she did witness leaving the hospital, which was a good development.

i want to bring in matt gutman who has been on the scene for several hours now. we just learned moments ago of this discovery of a potential explosive device at the original scene of these attacks and of this man and woman who are now dead, but you have tonight, a timeline of the terror as it unfolded here, late morning in california. >> that's right, david. we've watched heavy forces of s.w.a.t. teams and police and fbi rush in here and out of here to find that car with those two people who were killed, that man and woman. and then to go canvas that neighborhood, going door to door, as we've seen, trying to find that third suspect. but all of that started hours ago, with this massive police presence, right here, just down the street at the inland regional center. lines of ambulances rushing to the scene. s.w.a.t. teams moving in, wearing body armor, rifles at the ready. approaching the massive complex, a center whose mission is to care for people with developmental disabilities.

today, the scene of a horror. 11:00 a.m., the first reports coming in. >> multiple shots that were fired. we're getting a suspect, last seen wearing a black ski mask, all black clothing, carrying a shotgun. >> witnesses describing a barrage of bullets. >> all of a sudden, boom. >> it was rapid, boom, boom. i was right behind the building. >> i started walking. >> juan hernandez was staying at a hotel across the street. he came out when he heard the gun fire. >> shots going off like crazy, just one right after the other. and as i came out, then -- we had seen black suv flying down the street. what i saw looked like one guy was wearing military fatigues. >> i have suspect dressed in camo, masks, helmets, kevlar. >> reporter: law phone,meenforc response, massive. a nurse filming this video from inside the building. people evacuated with their

hands in the air. getting pat-downs to make sure attackers weren't blending in with the crowd. >> they patted us all down, checked our bags, checked our i.d.s. >> reporter: and then, 45 minutes after that first call, this chilling police radio dispatch. >> the suspects, possibly all three of them fled in a black suv. >> these are people that came prepared. they were dressed and equipped in a way to indicate that they were prepared and they had -- they were armed with long guns, not handguns. >> reporter: families getting text messages from their loved ones. terry reading this message from his daughter, locked in an office. >> shooting at my work. people shot. in an office, waiting for cops. >> but she's okay? >> pray for us. >> reporter: frank waiting anxiously for his niece. he tells me they spoke on the phone. >> something about three shooters, with machine guns. >> reporter: she was outside when it happened on her break,

you said? >> yeah. >> reporter: and then what happened? >> they hit the floor and ran inside to their manager's office and barricading themselves. >> reporter: you seem pretty nervous right now, still pretty upset. but she's okay, right? >> she's okay. i just want to comfort her. >> reporter: marcos' wife got out safely. >> they locked themselves in in her office. they seen bodies on the floor. >> reporter: glen heard it all unfold. >> hear some people yelling, you could hear some people screaming. you could see a lot of people running around. >> reporter: a triage area set up at this intersection. the injured carried away on stretchers. police escorting evacuees to school buses. s.w.a.t. teams spent hours going door to door inside that huge comple complex, looking for victims and any explosives the attackers might have left behind. >> that device they found, they are taking it out of the building now. >> reporter: unclear at this point whether it was an explosive. >> one of those divisons is believed to potentially be an explosive device. they are taking a very cautious,

very slow approach to processing that building and rendering that safe. >> reporter: the killers and their motives, tonight, still a mystery. >> i know one of the big questions that will come up repeatedly is, is this terrorism? and i am still not willing to say that we know that for sure. we are definitely making some movements that it is a possibility. >> that it is a possibility. and that was the headline that came out of that news conference just moments ago, matt. david bowditch was saying that they do have to acknowledge that they now are exploring that possibility that this could have been inspired. >> reporter: that's right, david. and if not a terrorism with a big t, certainly terror in this community. an entire city on lockdown for most of the day. we were just in that community where there was the scare. they thought they had found that third outstanding shooter, the last person still suspected to be involved and there was a school right there, an elementary school and we were

told that there were still people on lockdown in that school, because, remember, this event began at 11:00 local time, in the middle of school. everything, this entire community, closed down, government offices. people there told to shelter in place. and entire communities clamped down and on lockdown. and today, the agony of the 14 families, they still don't know the identity of all of those victims. they haven't been identified yet and a number of families in this community, officials involved in public health that don't know the fate of their family members and they are tonight in extreme anxiety and fear. >> impossible to imagine. and we know buses have been taking the people who survived this to a center not far from where you are, matt, for some time and many of those families are gathered there. and now as the hours continue to add onto one another, it's going to be more and more difficult for the families of the 14 who didn't survive. while we have you, matt, there has been some reporting about a holiday party inside the center, we now that was, in fact, the case, someone did leave,

authorities say there might have been a dispute, but they have no idea if that person came back. >> reporter: no idea yet. and those authorities and investigators continue to comb through the building, looking for possibly other devices, pipe bombs, things like that. and again, no word on motive. it is doubtful that there was a dispute and that dispute somehow triggered the shooting in that center, as everybody has been saying tonight, this seems, and especially local officials and investigators from the fbi, this was a well-planned attack. the shooters knew where they were going, they knew how to get in and get out without being followed and they managed to escape. now, why they didn't get very far is a different question, but right now, investigators just focused on making sure that site is clear and that everybody in this community remains safe. >> matt gutman on the scene tonight. matt, thank you. and we continue now with at least 14 dead. that's the number. 17 injured. that number could rise.

and images tonight of the aftermath. victims on gour kneeurneys, hel rushing to the scene. you can see the line of gurneys there lined up. authorities when they initially arrived at the scene, did not know what they would come upon and later they would learn they would have to rush several people to the hospital. kayna whitworth is at one of the hospitals, the only level one trauma ward in that area. and kayna, we heard during that press conference a short time ago that not only were they dealing with so many of these survivors, racing to be treated, but they were also dealing with a bomb scare at the hospital. >> reporter: yeah, david, that's exactly right. they were dealing with a bomb scare that came in at 2:30 in the afternoon and they say that was cleared about an hour later, but still, right now, this hospital is working on a heightened alert. the other thing that we learned at that news conference, we got an update on exactly the number of victims they took in here at the hospital. they took in five adult victims and at this point, two of them

are in critical but stable condition. and two are in fair condition. also, one is still being assessed. now, they have set up an area for, obviously, the ambulances to come in. they've taken down some of the tents that were there earlier. they've also set up a room for families to come here and to wait and to hear about their loved ones that are in this hospital. and right now, everyone in this community is wondering, how something like this could happen at a place that takes care of so many in need. tonight, the inland regional center under siege. >> our daughter's in there. someone had come in and started shooting. >> it's just a great agency and i don't know why somebody would want to do this. >> reporter: a private, nonprofit, serving 30,000 people with developmental disabilities. 550 employee s caring for all ages inside the center. >> three separate buildings. the main two are pretty connected. the third building is mainly just the auditorium, conference center where we have events, meetings. >> reporter: the shooting happened in a conference area, where the san bernadino county

department of public health was having a banquet, according to the facility's president and ceo. 14 killed. 17 wounded. police not confirming who the victims are. >> it's my understanding that most of the people that were wounded, most of the victims were all centrally located in one area. >> we did receive five adult patients which stemmed from the original incident in san bernadino. and all five do remain in the hospital. >> reporter: meanwhile, inside the other buildings, hundreds of frightened people huddled inside. marcos found out his wife was one of them, through a text. >> she texted me. she said she was inside, that there was a shooter outside shooting, that she's locked in, in her office. she said, i love you and i came over here. >> reporter: she made it out of the building along with others, evacuated, guided by armed police officers onto buses to take them to safety. >> extraordinary scene and we saw those images in matt

gutman's piece of people locked arm and arm, praying today late today after the horror unfolded. and kayna, in reporting on that center, that building that had been reserved for a holiday banquet, i want to show viewers at home, watching our coverage tonight, listen to this. >> that is scary. >> reporte >> laughter in the background. a woman holding up her cell phone, because they thought this was a drill. this country on such heightened alert, given the stories we have covered. she thought she would document the drill, texting her husband a short time later, saying, this wasn't a drill, in fact, this was the real thing. just illustrates a community already under heightened alert, kayna. >> reporter: david, it absolutely does. for the rest of the day, and it was at that point that sometimes

those things start to sink in. and got very emotional, saying this hit too close to home and, you know what, no, this is home. and she got very emotional about that and after this bomb threat, they had to bring in so many additional officers, even union pacific officers were here and they were patrolling these grounds with weapons and i think sometimes, you know, it took those people seeing all of that to realize what was happening in a place that they go to every single day in a place that is their home. it's just something you don't want to believe, david. >> all right, kayna whitworth who has been at the hospital all evening, thank you for our reporting. i want to get to brian ross and pierre thomas and brian, first to you, because we had obviously been careful all day long to make any sort of connection to whether or not this could have been inspired by something people have witnessed overseas or even here at home. but when you heard that this was a man and a woman, and that they were dressed in tactical gear when they were discovered, what did that tell you?

>> well, first of all, unusual for al qaeda or isis to involve women. they're not considered to be warriors, not really permitted to be in the battle. so, that would be very interesting. but what was most, i think, the greatest interest, the fbi director, the fbi director on the scene said we're not considering the possibility of terrorism. we're adjusting our investigation because of that possibility. and at this hour, david, police are swarming the home in redlands where the suspects left from. they now know who lived there, they know their names. they're looking into the backgrounds. their employment records. that will be a key in determining who these people were and why, perhaps, this attack took placement. >> they were very clear, what they want to know now is, if this went beyond these two people. they said the third person was seen running from the vehicle. unclear, that person's been deta detained. but unclear if they're a suspect. but what is also unclear is if this involved more than just the two people. >> exactly. the chief said there would be others.

eyewitness accounts clearly said there were three people with guns, they called them gunmen. apparently one might have been a woman. accounts clearly said three people had guns in the situation. when that vehicle was stopped, the suv, a man and a woman both were described wearing the tactical gear with heavy weapons. assault-style weapons and handguns. very unusual for a female to be involved. >> and unusual that the fbi would carefully begin to explore publicly the fact they are investigating -- >> it's not being ruled out. >> we're going to get to pierre in a moment. you met a short time ago with the head of the fbi in that room, hearing his concerns, the concerns from the justice department and we're going to get your thoughts on this and what he told you himself when we come back with more of our coverage on the california rampage, right here on

we're back now on "world news tonight," our coverage of the california shooting rampage.

at this hour, fbi, homeland security, u.s. marshals all on the scene. i mentioned moments ago, our senior justice correspondent pierre thomas, who has been in the room with the fbi director and also with the attorney general, loretta lynch, both had concerns, particularly right after paris, of possible copy cats here at home. no one is saying that's what we're witnessing here, but they made it very clear they were worried about loan wone wolves this country. >> david, that was the clear concern last week, copy cats. they used the phrase copy cats over and over, as being the primary concern. that people here who might sympathize with islamic radicals, isis, might see what they were doing, the spate of recent attacks, what happened with the russian airplane, what happened in beirut and what happened in paris, and that those people might say, now is the time, now is the time to do something. that's what they had great concern about. and they were saying that they had dozens of people who were under 24-hour blanket

surveillan surveillance. >> you told us right here on "world news tonight," 900 cases in all 50 states in this country. >> exactly. 900 terror investigations, all 50 states. hundreds involved isis, potentially. >> and tracking social media very closely. >> exactly. and i should point out, in terms of what's happening in the residents connected with these dead bodies, their phones, their computers, their social media, being poured over as we speak. >> and the fact they went to that moment in the first place, in redlands, california, items you a lot. they know more than we know at this point, about the potential suspects in this case, as we stay with these pictures, i want to bring in matt olsen, the former director at the national counterterrorism center. matt, as we know, you would brief the president and the white house on counterterrorism efforts in this country. if that were still your job, though you're now with us here at abc, if that were your job and you learned the details we just did, about a man, a woman wearing tactical gear, assault weapons and for some reason,

authorities were drawn to that house in redlands, california, in the first place, what does it tell you? >> well, i do think that, again, with the fbi, assistant director said they are, obviously, leaving open the possibility of this being terrorism. everything we have just heard in terms of the tactics and the planning, the number of people involved, terrorism obviously has to be a significant possibility here. and i do think that once we now -- since we know the identities, it's going to be very quick that authorities are going to determine what the motive was. i would expect that to happen very quickly. >> well, you tell us, because you're more of the expert than we are. when you move in on a scene like this, the fact they knew that house, they then pulled both of these bodies out of that suv and as brian has been reporting all evening long, sophisticated second nothing we have that can scan the fingerprint, double check the records back east and if it's someone who has been on their radar, they would know almost immediately. is it your suspicion than know already who they are dealing with? >> i think they have a very good

idea. one of the things they're going to look at right away is the computers in this home. something tipped them off to go to this home. now, they have access to a lot of evidence inside that house including in particular computers. so, starting to see what kind of online activities those individuals were involved. >> we should make it very clear for our viewers that there has been no direct link made, that these attacks might have been inspired by anything else. they are exploring reporting that someone might have left this holiday party, brian, after some sort of dispute, authorities saying they had heard about that, that witnesses talked about it, but they had no clarification and could not confirm whether or not that person, in fact, returned to the party. >> that's right. the police chief confirmed there was some kind of dispute at the holiday party involved the department of hepalth. a person left. he could not confirm that was the same person that came back with others and opened fire. but that certainly is a lead that is being pursued. at this point, the most important aspect is the home in

redlands, that gives them a clear identity of who was involved and what the possible motive was. >> and the tentacles that will discover what they find inside that home. i want to bring in brad garrett, formerly with the fbi, who has studied so many of these cases. and brad, it is a bit of a puzzle at this point. you hear things that we don't hear about the tactical gear, a man and woman involved, but you hear the potential that at least one person might have been involved in an altercation, left this holiday gathering that would lead you to believe that perhaps there was a relationship between the suspects and the people inside that room. >> well, there's some reason, david, they wore masks. i mean, we have not seen that in many other mass shootings. now, typically, those end with the bad guy being killed, or killing himself. so, that's one component. the -- you know, the other is that, you know, could it have been that sort of dispute, maybe. this seems a little too well planned for somebody to leave a party and get two other people

and commit this act. so, clearly, like brian pointed out, it's a lead that has to be worked. but you know, these folks also drove back home. i mean, it's another sort of component you wouldn't see probably islamic-type terrorists typically doing. i'm not saying it's not that. but there are interesting components to this. they only shot x number of people, left because they didn't want to get caught and then they drive, what, ten miles away to a residence and then -- i'm going to guess that somebody just dimed them out. said, hey, that car's next door, and probably gave them some information as to maybe the bent of these, of this particular group of people. so, we should know shortly. >> in fact, brad, it would seem that might be the case. you mentioned ratting them out. brian reporting it was a phone call that led to that house in the first place. >> right. there's a couple things going on here. look at what was attacked. a place that takes care of people that really need help. and that will get you phone

calls from people. because they'll be outraged because of the location. >> brad garrett with us, formerly with the fbi. pierre thomas, brian ross with ugs here on the set. i thank you all for this hour-long coverage joining me here. and as we say good night here, we want to bring you up to speed on the fast-moving developments, moments ago. authorities confirming two suspects from that truck dead. they were wearing assault-style clothing, they had weaponry in the car, assault-style weapons. unclear what the relationship between the two of them was, but the search continues at

life. just when you think you know where it's going, it takes you someplace else. covered california is here to help californians who need health insurance get it. because it's more than just health care. it's life care.

>>. i know one of the big questions is is this terrorism? i'm still not willing to say that we know that for sure. >> we have new information on what police are calling a carefully planned attack on a building targeting some of the most vulnerable people in southern california. good evening, and thanks for joining us. >> let's get to the latest information now on that mass shooting at the inland regional center in san bernardino serving people with disabilities. investigators told us two suspects in that shooting a man and woman were killed during a shootout. >> the whereabouts of the third gunman are uncertain. police detained one person who ran from the scene but are

continuing a neighborhood search. we don't know if the person in custody is the gunman. >> 14 people are confirmed dead, 17 wounded. a law enforcement official says a work place dispute could be the reason but they're not sure. >> reporter: updates are coming in almost by the minute. police confirm two suspects are dead, killed in that shootout, a man and a woman, heavily armed and dressed in tactical gear. >> the left side is blown out this, was a very graphic shootout. >> reporter: a graphic shootout that left two suspects dead after a frightening chase through a residential neighborhood. >> we hear a gun fight left and right, left and right. my grandmother said go hide, hide in the bathtub. >> sounded like a shooting range.

>> earlier at inland regional center, witnesses say three gunman burst into a conference room inside of a building and started firing. it was a start of a holiday party for employees. >> one of my co-workers started yelling and screaming saying oh, my god there is a shooting oh, my god, she just got shot. everybody started running through the halls. >> terrified loved ones started calling and texting from inside. >> she told me there is a shooter in the building that they they went into the room and locked the door. >> crazy. there are too many shootings, too much bad stuff going on here. you hear about it, but this is insane. this is crazy. i mean they need to do something. >> the l.a. times reports one of the gunman may have gotten into an argument at the party and returned tw w.2 heavily armed

companions. >> this is a marathon, not a sprint. i know a question that will come up is is this terrorism? i'm not willing to say we know that for sure. >> there are active scenes at several locations this evening in san bernardino county. inland regional center and one explosive was found. the shootout involving the dark suv where two suspects were killed is two miles away. the third scene is a house, linked to the suspect in redlands, about ten miles away this, is still under investigation and changing. in the newsroom, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> laura, thank you. police radio traffic detailed moments first officers reached the scene. dispatchers and police kept calm as the shooting unfolded and victims were discovered. >> so far getting on the ground floor, unknown race male with a black mask.

we do have victims down. shooter in the parking lot. no better description on that location with a machine gun. >> we have two suspects, both dressed in black. >> driving a black suv. >> back door, east side. back door, east side. >> we 22 down. several down. several down. send a medic, quick. >> we have at least 20 victims. >> we're on the second floor. >> shots fired. >> one guy down, one guy in the back of a car. right now we have one down outside of a car. one down inside of a car. and we understand one is on the run. >> this map depicts every mass shooting in the united states since a gunman walked into sandy

hook elementary three years ago. since that day there have been a thousand mass shootings with shooters killing 1300 people and wounding 3700 more. the advice nitty targeted does life changing work for people with disabilities. >> this shows a holiday party just yesterday at the inland regional center. you can see employees celebrating with clients in wheelchairs. >> cornell bernard is live from the east bay regional center in san leandro. there is concern about what happened at that sister facility in southern california. what are the people telling you there tonight? >> reporter: police said this is a dark and tragic day. most regional centers closed early today as a precaution. this officer in san leandro, it stayed open but staff took off early because they say they were too scared and upset to work today. this center is one of four in

the bay area. 21 statewide. the nonprofit social service agency contracts with the state to provide assistance to people with developmenl disabilities. news of the shooting comes as a shock to staff here who never thought one of their centers would be a target. >> it's sad. that anyone would do anything like that. >> we just work, it's a voluntary agency. >> very shocking and sad. we're here to help people with developmental disabilities and can't ever imagine why anyone would go after a social service agency. it's horrible. horrible, horrific thing and our thoughts and prayers are with inland regional center staff and we're watching the news to see as it unfolds. >> this year, safety glass was installed in the lobby here as a precaution. in the past we're told there have been some agitated clients,

but they say never anyone with a weapon. further precautions are being discussed. it's not clear if all regional centers will be open for business as usual tomorrow. 18,000 clients are served at this location alone. and 280,000 clients statewide. >> cornell, good information, thank you. over the years. a police response to active shootings like the one today have evolved. it used to be standard to wait until specially-trained units got on the scene but that strategy changed. vic lee is live to explain the new thinking, vic, when it comes to repolice spons. >> that is right, dan. and let me tell you, police tell me everyone of these active shooter situations is a chaotic one. that is why they say they have to go through constant active shooter training sessions, all on a regular basis with other agencies. and they're taught there is only

one way to deal with it. this is what every cop hates to hear. active shooter, but it's a call they're prepared to deal with it. >> it needs to be addressed right away. there are lives in danger. it's to protect lives. >> sergeant decker has been with the s.w.a.t. team for a dozen years. >> we put a team together for first responders and they go out with a sole purpose of stopping deadly threats posed to the public. >> multiple law enforcement agencies are called to the scene. they respond in different ways. san mateo county sheriff detective. >> just a safety perimeter. evacuate those that we can. if there are any injured. >> the columbine high school mass shooting changed the way police respond to active shooters. >> that is something you're going to lock it down and wait for a s.w.a.t. team. that doesn't work in 2015. >> now, instead of waiting,

police go right in to take out the shooter. >> the longer we let time lapse and let that situation go on, the greater let for people in there. >> both say officers and deputies go through active shooter trainings with other agencies. the shootings, they say, are sadly happening too often. vic lee, abc7 news. now, abc7 news anchor is in southern california right now, and going to join us live from san bernardino tonight at 11:00. he's tweeting the latest developments. you can follow him. to view or not to view. the action the sf police officers association is threatening to take tonight if officers aren't allowed to look at their body camera footage before filing a report. plus... >> hearing from an officer known during better times as hot cop

come happy birthday. i just had a heart attack... and now i have a choice. for her. for them. and him. a choice to take brilinta. a prescription for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin ...no more than 100 mg. as it affects how well it works. it's such an important thing to do to help protect against another heart attack. brilinta worked better than plavix. and even reduced the chances of dying from another one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to doctor. since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers. a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery and all medicines you take. i will take brilinta today. tomorrow. and every day for as long as my doctor tells me. don't miss a day of brilinta.
