the doors to the buildings of the use a battering ram to get inside. police inside found the victims. they didn't know if the gunman was still inside or if there were more than one of them. people ran from the building fearing for their lives and once they realize the gunman was not there they launched a massive manhunt. 45 minutes after the shots were fired a man at a safeway in alameda asked to speak with police saying he had just shot some people. officers arrived there and determined he was the suspected shooter and arrested him. police are working on a motive for the killings >> they're also trying to find the murder weapon. he is in oakland where the police chief says the target may have been a school administrator. >> we may not know exactly why but there are a couple of steps closer, let's take a look at the video from the scene yesterday.
