is reminiscent of the sniper attacks back in 2002. we were all here at that time and know how this community was terrorized in aspen hill. one of the shootings that happened was right across the street from where i'm standing, so you can understand very raw emotion today. i want to show you some perspective of the giant shopping center here, how close it is to the shopping center where that takedown happened. you see the kohl's. it's on the opposite side in the parking lot where the suspect parked his car outside the boston market. little did we know we're right here. he was right there. eventually police caught up with him and took him down. we want to show you the parking lot here at giant. we're at connecticut avenue and aspen hill road. the scene cleared just within the last 15, 20 minutes, but let's show you some video of the very active scene. we understand that after the shooting at montgomery mall in

for a with students and faculty. scott macfarlane has more on that ripple effect of that shelter in place order throughout. >> it was not just huge, but massive and the largest school security order in our area in at least three years because in this case it was an entire school district shifted into so-called secure the building mode. our investigation last month show there have been 200 such orders region wide since 2014, but those were much smaller. we brought our cameras into walter johnson high school. under a secure the building order, the school day continues, but the outside doors are locked and no one can move through them. in a lockdown, the classroom doors are bolted, the curtains are drawn,

security orders were lefts than hour beforecounty. during shelter in place drills, parents are encouraged to stay away from the grounds because you can't go in, you can't come out. parents don't want to go near the building. all this really close to closing time probably caused a lot of changing of plans for parents. >> you just brought us this story at 11:00 a couple of weeks ago. it was an education to see exactly what happens, the drill they have got down pat. >> we found 30 school lockdowns throughout the d.c. area since 2014. 200 secure the building orders, but none of them as large as today in montgomery county. a couple fono

going. and out of the hospital during the lockdown th that the situation here was secure. we talked to a couple of employees who were coming out from work this afternoon. they told me that they did receive an e-mail alert telling them that the hospital was in fact on lockdown. i want to talk about those other two victims, too, as well. one of them is in grave condition. we're in touch with police to find out exactly if he is going to make it. the other man who was shot at the mall, he passed away. montgomery county police
