breaking news. and again, that breaking news is in fairfax county where one person is dead after reports of a shooting inside an office building. >> as we say, police say there is no longer a threat. there are questions about the building in fairfax county, in the mosaic district, and where a daycare system is housed. >> david just had a conference with the officer, david? >> reporter: that is right, that was the chief of police here in fairfax county. one thing he said this came in of initial reports of shots fired in the building. a good distance from where we are. you mentioned mosaic, it's on the other side from where we are. down here, that building as we walk to it that is actually the fairfax county school headquarters. to the right of that blocked by the trees, that is the building they're focused in on right now. i just talked to the police, i said what is in that building that they're responding

office that occupies the space there. they got several calls of shots fired. and an active shooter. somebody combing the hallins of that building with a weapon. this has developed quickly. the gunman or who they pre assume to be the gunman is dead. the one confirmed dead as of how is the gunman. they have at this point gone floor to floor suite by suite trying to get a better understanding as to who else may be involved in this. they're trying to determine whether or not there are any other victims. let me show you this. as we show you the folks here walking out. they're just slowing us down here, but let me show you this. these are people who are able to get their kids now out of a daycare that was in the first floor of this building. this building has a lot of children who were being kept there and sheltering in place. i was talking to a source who told me that a lot of the kids were brought to

county public school headquarters building. and that is where they were kept sheltered. and now they're being released to their parents. you can see a lot of these folks who are walking out right now. i want to go to my producer, patricia, go ahead. one more time -- let me get in here. take a listen. >> it happened at the corner, but i don't really know what happened actually -- i can't say. what happened really. >> is this the time you usually pick up your child? >> yes, so it was my wife. she was the person who tried to pick up the children, but there were no chances to come in. the police were absolutely perfect. well done. so -- we are very glad that our children are safe. >> and as a parent -- >> you heard it was a shooting -- >> it was one woman, she told

-- she saw a guy screaming and she didn't understand -- she was so upset. i'm not able to understand more. sorry for that. >> as a parent, who do you feel right now now that you have your children? >> i'm so happy that i have my two lovely kids. so -- my wife is so glad. she was -- oh, she was screaming. and we are very glad, very glad. >> understandably so. >> thank you very much. >> one of the many parents who has been able to get their children from that first floor daycare here in fairfax. look at just the scene, if you can take in the immensity of the scene here. you have several different responding crews who have shut do you think a good portion of this area. we noticed traffic getting here from the beltway was very difficult. very slow. and that is because of a lot of the operation here shutting down many of the roads. we're going to continue to stay on scene here, and get more answers t

doubt that are coming up as of now. one thing we can say is this area, we mentioned the fairfax county public school headquarters, fortunately this happened towards the end of the work day for them. a lot of the folks still there have left. we'll get a feel for what is happening here. you can see they're now wrapping up a lot of the ambulances that were on standby, in case there was a reality that there be some casualties beyond the one confirmed dead. they had several of these ambulances now they are releasing those units and wrapping them up with a police presence here. it is quite strong. we also should point out shawn, let's show them here, the neighborhood community. you have several town homes along this area as well. and so you have folks who live in the area who obviously now are curious by what all of this -- activity is and has brought them out here. guys, let's send it back to you for now. >> when we

news conference you were attending with the police chief. can you walk through what he said about what they were doing with the children, initially when they first got the multiple calls of an active shooter in that building? >> reporter: sure, one of the things he was making sure to be clear of, they were trying to get them to a shelter in place. i have a source within the school system who tells me they were actually bringing them in from that neighboring building where the active shooter was going through. they brought them to the fairfax county public school headquarters building, which is the one building you can see along this road here. so they were keeping them there, keeping them sheltered until they were able to keep them with their parents, you saw them released to their moms and dads. >> you have to wonder what the time was between the parents hearing there was an active shooter in a building where their children are housed in daycare. and the time that they got -- the word that everything was good. you know those were some rough

they were rushing there. >> reporter: well, i can tell you when i came up on scene, we were able to park a block away. the dad was in a suit, his tie was loose, he was in sweat, i said were you able to finally get him? he said that is all i care about right now is i got them. he just wanted to go home. there were moments of not being held back, of being kept away from a very scary scene, you look at the child behind the barrier of police, to finally be able to hold and then embrace your child you can understand why they're breathing easy, and in some cases rather emotional. >> absolutely, david, we'll get you to stand by here for just a second. for folks who may just join us, we want to reset a bit and let you hear what the fairfax county police chief had to say about what is happening there in the merryfield area, listen to this. >>

he entered the building if he was an employee. we got multiple 911 calls for shots fired. our officers created an action team and immediately went into the shooting. started achieving an effort to find the shooter. at this time we found one deceased male who appears to be the shooter. we are still combing the building to get victims or those who were sheltered in place out of the building. >> was there ever a danger? did the danger go on lockdown? what can you tell us about the situation? >> i don't have enough information if the daycare went on lockdown. i can tell you we assist in evacuating all of those children into a safe building away from the active shooter. >> did anybody else get hurt? >> at this time, i don't have reports of other injuries. >> what can you say about the initial call? what brought you out here? >> we had a 911 call of an active shooter, multipl

>> was he firing at people or firing like in general? >> at this point i don't have enough information. we have dozens of witnesses that we have to interview. it's an active scene, we still have witnesses that we are sheltering in place that we have to rescue out of the building. >> did he get caught? you guys caught him? >> we assume that the deceased is the shooter. but if can't rule out whether or not there was someone else. but we're pretty certain the deceased was the shooter. >> and there was no kazakhstan with him, correct? >> i don't know that. we haven't interviewed thenesses. >> you say the shooter called or somebody else called? >> the people inside the building, multiple 911 calls, firing rounds from a pistol. this is an office complex. >> is this a nova health foundation? is that what it is there? >> there are multiple renters in there right now. what i

this suite was a law office but i can't confirm that 100% at this time. >> the fairfax county chief, edwin roessler, talking there a short time ago, david is standing there live. they have to go through. because you can imagine people are sheltering in place and may not know it's all clear, right, david? >> reporter: and you just heard from the chief there, this is developing right now. i want to bring the chief back, he has been generous to spare a few moments with you. you obvious yourself took off the kevlar vest, you were taking it very seriously. this was an active shooter? >> and we're still treating it as an active shooter. more multiple calls came in at gate house road, next to the school headquarters from an adult male who was firing rounds from a pistol. then we formed a reaction team and

building to attack the threat, which was the shooter. unfortunately we found one deceased male who appears to be the shooter. this is not an officer-involved shooting at this time. we are still combing all active six floors, the roof and the basement, we still have people in place, we need to evacuate them and look for potential victims. there was a daycare center in the building. those children have been safely evacuated. we have set up a reunification center at middle school on gallows road. >> you mentioned this is not an active scene. could it appear to be a self- self-inflicted wound? >> it appears to be self-inflicted. >> we have relieved parents able to reunited with their kids, wendy just asked me a short time ago they were brought from that building to the school

they were kept there for a short time? >> i don't know the logistics but they were kept in a place even further away. now we are transporting all the children to luther jackson middle school to reunited with their parents. >> chief, we thank you for your time. i know it's very busy. we'll continue to get questions answered. i know a lot more will come out of this through the evening. >> we'll go back to david here in just a second. our jackie benson is on scene for us tonight. there is a daycare inside the office building. jackie has some information on that, from that vantage point, jackie? >> reporter: well, we are at luther jackson middle school. you heard chief roessler say it's just across the street from scene. and this is where the children in the daycare center are being brought. we'll show you that is a fairfax county school security vehicle that just pulled up here a few moments ago. this is

don't think any of us can ever imagine being in the position of having to do this. we'll have to come over here and pick up their children in the daycare center at the time that this incident all started happening. fairfax county public schools have a magnificent protocol for dealing with things like this. they absolutely are ready to open their doors tonight for something like that, for children to be brought over here. so parents can take some of the pressure off. they can pull into this big parking lot here, go inside the schools. get their children. and obviously you know, the discussions that they will have to have with their children when they pick them up later, always a very, very difficult thing. that you remember that initially there was concern that this shooting was actually at a fairfax county public school facility. it is not, but as david said and the chief confirmed there was a daycare center in there. we don't know how many children were inside that daycare center whic w

office-like building. so again, you know, parents just starting to show up here to pick up their children. and you know, just not a day that anybody wants to see thankfully, thankfully all of those children are okay. live, jackie benson, news 4, back to you. just to let people know in that area, it's 8111 gate house road, a specific building that is there. jackie, how many parents have you seen in the last few minutes coming -- have most of them gotten their children or do you know? >> reporter: no, and you know think about it. it's sort of you know toward the end of the day. they have had to get this information. they have had to reroute from where they would normally go, plus i can tell you wendy, traffic in this area is just terrible. bumper to bumper, between people trying to reroute and the emergency vehicles. so you know, we haven't seen a big rush of people here but i'll tell you what, the people who do gon

get in there. and you can understand that. >> absolutely, all right, jackie benson, we'll let you gather more information. talking about these parents going to pick up their kids. our david culver a bit ago was able to talk to one father who vir picked up his daughter, and relief you would describe it. listen to what he had to say. >> we are very glad that our children are safe. >> and you have heard it was a shooting -- >> one woman, she told me. she saw a guy screaming and i didn't understand. she was so upset, i'm not able to understand more. sorry for that. >> as a parent, how do you feel? >> as a parent, i'm glad i have my two lovely kids. my wife is so glad. oh, she was screaming. we are very glad, very

of you just joining us, this started at 4:50 p.m. when police in fairfax county got multiple 911 calls of an active shooter. they arrived at the scene and found one man dead and it appears according to the chief that it was self-inflicted. he is referring to -- the suspected gunman. no other injuries, but of course they had to go through the process floor to floor to make sure there was not another gunman, but to be able to rescue the others in place. >> and the other information they got people are still sheltering in place. going through each floor, we learned as we looked at incidents similar to this that is the process law enforcement goes through, they go and recheck to make sure there is not another person who is seriously injured or who may have been looks to injure someone else. so they want to do those checks before -- >> or even whe

hiding so well that they may not be aware that the all clear is sounded. let's go back to david culver on scene. this is the 8111, gate house road in fairfax county. david? >> reporter: you know, i was just talking to the chief again trying to get a better understanding of the process when it comes to going through the building in question, initially the reports came in for the active shooter. i said why can't you get closer, he reminded me this is still an active scene. even though he took off his kevlar vest and relaxed somewhat, closer in they're still doing a sweep of the building. the parents are reunited with their children, getting the daycare cleared. that was a big concern here. take a look at the congestion all of this is causing. i want you to understand all the response we're looking at here. most of these a

many of them undercover police cars, unmarked police cars. i executscouted about a dozen ambulances here, you have to know where we are positioned obviously within a two-minute drive of nova fairfax hospital on the other side here. they are looking at the potential for mass casualties, as of now they have one confirmed, believing it to be the gunman, so they obviously didn't have to utilize the many response teams they had standing by. they are pairing down the units they had involved. we're located, if you're curious to where that is, not far from the mosaic district here in merryfield. so the active response obviously causing around this rush hour time a lot of congestion, we'll step out of the road here because you see one of the

the fairfax county and rescue allowing others to leave. this will relieve jefferssome o traffic now leaving this perimeter. >> and david as you headed over there, a lot of people of course are probably stuck on the beltway. so i am sure -- whoever they're calling needs to reassure them that this thing is all clear now. the children are at luther jackson middle school, which is a calmer place away from all of this apparatus, where their parents can be reunited in a calmer environment. jackie benson of course is over there. but it looks like it's starting to clear out. and how bad was it on the beltway when you were heading there? >> reporter: you know, i can tell you that was where we started to notice the big congestion. obviously we saw fairfax one flying up heading towards merryfield. there was an indication something was serious. not only was the beltway

the express lanes were moving very slowly. everybody kept there and kind of clogged up as they tried to get through the corridor here in the merryfield area. as you mentioned, wendy, this is moving now, getting a good pace. a lot of these folks are clearing out. a lot of these cars are sitting for goodness knows how long, if i could stop them i would ask. and there was the perimeter, really only one way out, they have been waiting through much of the ordeal to continue on their way maybe a lot of them likely heading home after the work day. >> david, i know you can see into the cars a little better than us. do you get the impression these are people stuck in traffic or parents who picked up kids? any idea? >> or people in buildings, who were hiding in the building? >> reporter: most of these appear to be stuck in traffic because i noticed them on the other side of the perimeter down there. no car seats filled with kids as i looked at some of the c

coming by. >> leaving the office building down there you can see them pull out. >> the photojournalist says he sees folks down here through the view finder, folks leaving the office building, which is the fairfax county public schools headquarters, gate house right well as it's known. and that is holding a lot of folks from the evacuated building next door and pushed out. go ahead, shawn. what shawn is now showing you through his camera, is a lot of vehicles leaving the back ends of that building. so if your going to fairfax county public school headquarters which is a place we go quite often to, to do interviews and stories you have to park in the garage under the school. the entrance to that garage is on the back side. if you're trying to get to the neighboring building, the building in which that active shooter took place that is this first turn here and a little bit farther back. so the garage that is being cleared now presumably mostly going to be employees who were held there at the fairfax count

are now finally being able to leave. >> all right, david, well, l'll you go to work and see if you can get interviews with them. and we're all going to catch our breath. this is now over. it was a lone gunman it appears. who killed himself, who -- it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound that took him down. >> the building is being swept by police, folks told the shelter in place, we know children in a daycare had been evacuated taken to luther jackson middle school not far from where this is all ppening. ha ralph northam: i'm ralph northam, candidate for governor and i sponsored this ad narrator: ed gillespie says dr. ralph northam doesn't show up? dr. ralph northam was an army doctor and a volunteer medical director at a children's hospice. he passed the virginia law requiring concussion standards for school sports. the smoking ban in restaurants. and dr. northam is working to connect veterans to good paying jobs in virginia. ed gillespie is a washington dc
