windows were shot out of the vehicle. there are now three armored police vehicles around that s.u.v. and police are being very careful and methodical about searching it. and for those of you who are just joining us, this is special continuing cbs news coverage of the events in san bernadino, california today. we had a live picture of the s.u.v. surrounded by three police vehicles. this is the s.u.v. with the windows shot out. this was the scene just a few moments ago. as the police were surrounding

the vehicle. there is something that has fallen out of the vehicle on the driver's side passenger seat, the back seat. it might be a body, but it is hard to tell. the police are telling us that at least one suspect is down. we have heard that at least one suspect has been arrested, and in fact, all three may have been apprehended. the police are about to have a briefing, and as soon as the officer steps up to the microphone, we will go live to the briefing to get the very latest details. 14 people killed, 17 people wounded in san bernadino county today, by three unknown gunmen, gunmen the police may have apprehended. let's go to that police briefing which is occurring right now live.

>> is everybody ready? okay, again, my name ising sergeant vicki cervantes, with the san bernadino police department. as an update, officers that are working this active shooter case were doing follow-up work when they located what appeared to be the suspects' vehicle. somehow during that contact, shots were exchanged between the suspects and the officers. one officer was injured. however, he was transported to a local hospital and it does not appear to be a life-threatening injury. i believe he is a san bernadino police officer. additionally, some suspects or a suspect has been hit. i believe there is still possibly a suspect outstanding. so it's still, again, a very activactive, fluid situation. we don't have a lot of answers yet. they're still trying to sort

through what they've encountered on the other end at the other scene. chief burguan, is going to be coming here at 4:45, where sheriff mcmahon, and again do a press conference so you can speak to him directly and he can update you with any information. >> reporter: sergeant, what about the possibility of a third suspect? >> i'm sorry? >> reporter: how many suspects are there. >> reporter: suspect count. >> i don't know. i believe that there are two at this time. being dealt with. >> reporter: and there's one on the run? >> if there were originally three suspects, there's still possibly one outstanding, but, again, i don't know. >> is the suspect who was hit dead? >> i don't have that information. >> reporter: is there another suspect that was not hit but who is in custody? >> i don't have that information either. their investigation just took them in that path. >> reporter: is the building

entirely at this point here at this location, are they still in the process of doing that? >> i don't know. >> reporter: did one of the suspects leave the meeting this morning and return with two are others? >> i don't know. that's information i've not been given. >> reporter: so the scene sergeant, can you please go over once again, how many suspects are in custody, and how many you believe-- >> i don't have any of those details. the chief will provide those at 4:45. he's being briefed on that as we speak. we're just speaking here because we committed to talking to you on the hour, and i apologize we don't have all of the information. >> reporter: is the building cleared yet? >> that we don't-- i don't know. >> reporter: the officer who was struck, what kind of wound? >> i don't have that information, either. i just know it's not life threatening. i don't know if the suspect has died. we have not been given that.

>> reporter: how many have been hit? how many suspects have been hit? >> i couldn't tell that you. but if you're back here at 4:45, chief burguand, and chief mcmahon will be here and they will probably have many more than answers for you. again, it's very active. it's not far from that-- or from here. stay here, and let's be vigilant because there very well may be a suspect still out here, and we all need to be careful. >> reporter: again, the officers came in contact with that s.u.v. because they were doing follow-up investigation? >> that's correct. it led them that way. correct. >> reporter: do you know who opened fire-- do you know if the suspect opened fire? >> i don't know who fired first. i don't know. all right, again, at 4:45. thank you. glt information changes minute by minute as it always does in these cases. but what we just learned from vicki cervantes, the officer from the san bernadino police department, one officer was

injured in an exchange of gunfire with people that the police say are the suspects from that dark s.u.v. we've been showing you. she says the officer's wounds are not life threatening. she said one of the suspects was "hit." she did not say whether he had been killed. she said another suspect is on the loose. now, that's only two suspects. and a number of witnesses earlier today clearly indicated that there were three men dressed in military-style gear, as it was called, with assault rifles and extra ammunition rounds that assaulted this state office building in san bernadino county, killing 14 people. and injuring another 17. carter evans is on the ground there near the suspect vehicle. carter, what's the latest? >> reporter: i'm about a mile

away from the suspect vehicle, but behind me is the inland regional center, where this massacre occurred about five hours ago. as you said, it was a normal work day when the workers there saw what they say were three gunmen dressed in black with body armor and assault rifles, opened fire on the crowd. the local police chief here said it looked like they came prepared as if they were on a mission. police say the masked gunmen were wearing body armor when they entered the building just after 11 a.m. and started shooting. >> i turned on and was walking and all of a sudden, she was-- all of a sudden, boom. >> it was rapid, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. >> and they said they were on the loose. >> i was right behind the building and i heard all the shots. >> multiple shots. shots going off like crazy, just one right after the other. and as i came out, then we had seen a black s.u.v. flying down the street. >> reporter: terry pettit got a text from his daughter inside.

>> "shooting at my work. people shot. in the office waiting for cops. pray for us. i am locked-- ( sirens ) i am locked in an office." that's it. >> reporter: what did your wife see? >> the guy outside dressed all in black with a big gun just shooting at the window. >> reporter: luis guttierez spoke with his wife on the phone while she was trapped inside. what's your take on all this, man? this is your wife. >> this is my life, man. this is my queen. i'll do anything to protect her. she helps out kids with autism. i don't know why anyone would do anything right there but. >> reporter: 14 people injured in the shooting were sent to area hospitals while police set up a triage area in the street. >> most of the people that were wounded, most of the victims were all centrally located in one area of the facility.

>> reporter: jarrod burguan is chief of the san bernadino police department. >> they came prepared to do what they did, as if they were on a mission. >> reporter: the f.b.i. and a.t.f. were called in, and police are still looking for the suspects who fled the scene in a dark-colored s.u.v. debbie alvarado rushed to find her daughter, michelle, who had been shot. >> she told me she was shot in her side. and that they were-- they were pretending to be dead because these guys were still out there. she told me not to come. these guys are still at large. you know what, right? >> reporter: hundreds of people were evacuated, a total of 670 work inside. assistant f.b.i. director david bowdich. >> is this a terrorist incident? i will tell you right now we do not know if this is a terrorist incident. >> reporter: they don't know if it's a terrorist incident, but certainly many people terrorized. 14 fatalities in this massacre behind me today, 17 people

injured, and then about an hour ago, a massive change here. a large number of police vehicles armored, tactical vehicles racing off to another scene about a mile from here, where they encountered that dark s.u.v. that witnesses reported the suspects fled in. there was a tremendous amount of gunfire, we're told. you could even hear it over the police scanner. we understand that one suspect, at least one suspect is down, another may have been captured. but that leaves a question about the third suspect that so many witnesses spoke of. does a third suspect exist? police can't completely confirm that right now. but if a third suspect exists, chances are, scott, he's still out there. >> pelley: carter evans reporting for us at the scene. carter, thank you. there are 17 people who were injured in one way or another, many of them shot. we're told that some of them are lightly wounded, some of them are in critical condition, and our john blackstone is at one of the hospitals.

john. >> reporter: scott, this is the loma lipidda medical center, which is a trauma 1-level medical center, just about five miles from where the shooting took place. four patients were brought here, perhaps the most seriously injured. just about a half hour ago, within the last hour, and certainly just after that shoot-out that carter was talking about, an ambulance raced in here with a victim, medical personnel surrounded that ambulance, held up sheets to block our view. someone was taken out of of the ambulance into the medical center. we don't know who that was. of the 17 injured, taken to many area hospitals here, but here at the loma linda medical center there was also a bomb square this afternoon. that has now been discounted but classes at the university medical center have been canceled. scott. >> pelley: john blackstone reporting. thank you, john. we're looking at a live picture of police apparently going house to house in this neighborhood

where the shoot-out with the suspects in the s.u.v. occurred. large number of police officers moving through that neighborhood. we are going to wrap up this cbs news special report but for many of you, we will be going back to regular programming. for some of you, this special edition of the cbs evening news will continue in just a moment. o o cbsnews.com. ♪song: "that's life" ♪song: "that's life" ♪song: "that's life"♪ that's life. you diet. you exercise. and if you still need help lowering your blood sugar...

to death, 17 others were injured by what witnesses describe as three men in military-style gear with assault rifles and extra ammunition mazines. the target apparently was a holiday party that was being thrown by the county department of public health. we do not know why. about an hour ago police stopped a dark-colored s.u.v., the kind of vehicle that was described as the getaway car. there was a shoot-out at the s.u.v. we are told that one suspect has been killed. we believe another has been arrested and one is still on the loose. but, of course, these are early moments in all of this, and some of this information has and will change and change again.

what you're watching right now is a live picture from our helicopter of what looks like a house-to-house search by heavily armed police officers. this is in the neighborhood of where the s.u.v. was stopped. it also appears that there is a body lying next to the s.u.v. what we do know is that one police officer was wounded in that shoot-out, but we are told that his injuries are not life-threatening and he is being treated in the hospital. that would make 18 people in the hospital in the san bernardino area so far this evening. these again are the police officers that are going house to house through this neighborhood. this is approximately a mile from the state offic building where this occurred. the office building, large state office building houses almost 700 employees, and they are focused on delivering services

to the mentally disabled in california, in san bernardino county and in riverside county, but we're given to ups that the shooting did not occur in those office buildings but in a conference center that is associated with them. and the department had rented out the conference center for this holiday party for the department of public health. about 2:00 eastern time, 11:00 pacific time, witnesses reported these three gunmen bursting into the holiday party and opening fire. as we said, there are 14 killed. we know that at this point. 17 wounded. they are in the hospital. we're told that some of them do not have life-threatening injuries, but others are in critical condition. we are not sure howany. we are awaiting another police department news conference that will be coming up in about 25

minutes. and we are told that we will have more information about what this shoot-out at the s.u.v. was all about. and how many suspects may have been killed or are in custody or are on the run. shortly after all of this happened, the witnesses reported the gunmen jumping into a dark s.u.v. and driving away, but on at that point.lice had to go they did not have descriptions of the suspects, and they did not have a better description of the vehicle other than it being a dark s.u.v. obviously the police have developed more information since then because for some reason they stopped this particular one, and there was a ferocious shoot-out. all the windows of the s.u.v. have been blasted out and there is a body lying in the street next to it. you do not see it in this picture. this is a live picture of the police action in another part of the neighborhood. you do not see the s.u.v. in this picture, but we have been watching it over the last several minutes surrounded by police armored cars.

jeff pegues has been working on this story with us all afternoon. he's in our washington newsroom. jeff, what's new? >> well, as you know, scott, this is a very fluid situation, and speaking to that point is the fact that investigators, they still think right now that there is still one more suspect who is not in custody or who has not been accounted for. and so that's why you see that they are going house to house, conducting these searches. they still think someone else is out there. but even if all of the suspects are accounted for, that does not mean that this is an investigation that is about to wrap up. there are still so many unanswered questions with this, scott. as you know, in part because this type of active shooter situation does not fit the mold of many of the others that we've seen in this country over the years.

the fact that you have more than one suspect involved, scott. there are still so many unanswered questions for investigators. they are still trying the nail down definitively a moltive. they have not ruled out whether this is terrorism related or perhaps some sort of workplace related shooting. scott? >> pelley: jeff pegues reporting from our washington newsroom. thank you. we're staying with the live picture, this from our helicopter of the neighborhood, massive police presence in the neighborhood. searching several houses and this is where the s.u.v. that met the description of the suspect vehicle was stopped and there was a big shoot-out. one police officer wounded, although we're told that his wounds are not life-threatening. one suspect shot, apparently killed. it appeared a body fell out of the s.u.v. when the officers opened one of the doors. this entire neighborhood in san

bernardino filling up with police armored vehicles and heavily armed tactical officers. from the last news conference with the police about 20 minutes ago, we have reason to believe that at least one of the suspects is still on the loose, which would probably account for all of this. witnesses describeed three men dressed in military gear with assault rifles who attacked for several minutes a holiday party being thrown at a state office building in san bernardino, about 60 miles east of los angeles in inland california. it was about an hour ago that we heard police gunfire over the police radio channel, and

they... the officers engaged said that they were engaged with the suspects in the dark s.u.v. ferocious amount of gunfire at that location. you do not see the s.u.v. in this picture. this is another part of the police operation that we're looking at now. we're going to go to a videotape now that was shot a little bit earlier of that s.u.v. that i've been describing. looks like a body down there below that police armored vehicle. and the police indicated that one of the suspects had been killed. and there's the scene. now, this is a live picture again of the police armored vehicle with tactical officers all over it, moving into another part of the neighborhood.

so we have one suspect down, and according to the latest information from the police, another suspect, at least one other suspect on the loose, and that must be what this is all about. carter evans is by the state office building where the massacre occurred about five and a half hours ago. carter, what do you know? >> reporter: scott, police were acting on information that led them to this particular neighborhood that you're looking at right now where this s.u.v. is. it was during that follow-up investigation that they spotted this suspect s.u.v. and shots were fired. there were numerous shots fired and exchanged between the suspects and police. the san bernardino sheriff's department is confirming that gunfire exchange with suspects.

so plural "suspects." it's also saying that one possible suspect is still out there. and as we've heard all day from witnesses, they say they saw three armed suspects dressed in black military fatigues with body armour, so that one suspect is possibly still outstanding. and that would explain the house-to-house search that you're looking at in this neighborhood right now. where is this neighborhood relative to the massacre that occurred today? not far away at all. that's why many people here are surprised that these suspects were spotted so close to this crime scene so many hours after the massacre occurred. scott? >> pelley: carter evans on the ground near the scene for us. carter, thank you. this entire neighborhood in san bernardino, california, again, this is a live picture. this entire neighborhood has been flooded with police officers, armored vehicles, tactical officers as the dragnet continues to search for at least one other suspect in today's

massacre in san bernardino. one suspect is dead. we saw his body apparently his body near the s.u.v. that the police were looking for and engaged in a shoot-out with. and then we are looking for one more suspect. to bring you back up to date, witnesses described three men dressed in military-style gear with assault rifles. they attacked a holiday party at a state office building in san bernardino about 2:00 p.m. at least 14 people are dead. 17 were wounded, and a police officer was also wounded in the shoot-out with the suspects at the s.u.v. they are continuing to search for another gunmen at large in san bernardino tonight. and this is a live picture of an entire neighborhood in lockdown surrounded by the police as the

police go house to house, alley to alley, looking for the third suspect. we are expecting a police briefing in the next 20 minutes or so, and when that occurs, we will be on the air with the very latest information. there is no motive known so far. that is our special expanded edition of the "cbs evening news." for some of you, our coverage of the san bernardino massacre will continue in just a moment.
