hi, pete. >> you can see atf folks there. there are lots of agencies involved with this. you may well ask yourself, why are they just standing there? may guess would be they're waiting for a search warrant. that's the way these things normally go. the authorities, when they get someone's identity, although they've had this identity now i think for probably four hours, but how long it will take them to get a search warrant and since we're just getting these pictures now perhaps they've already received it and these are people outside protecting the area but this is going to be the standard response here to get -- once you have the person identified and, as we've been saying they moved pretty quickly on this because there was a driver's license the suspect had in his pocket and that allows them to begin to get information on where this person was from. this person has been identif

atf will track that gun, and that is critically being done, and also the fbi is assisting alexandria police and capitol police to do any background information on the shooters. unclear how much information they have on them just yet. we are being told the shooter was injured and taken to the hospital, so he could be receiving medical treatment which could slow things down, but urgent traces on that rifle, george. >> congressman steve pilazo is on the phone with us. you have spoken to members that were there? >> that's correct. i had a previous engagement on the calendar, so i wasn't going to be at practice this morning, but i have had the opportunity to talk to some of my colleagues, and we were shocked. the mood is very some pber, and just a general state of disbelief. >> it's so fortunate for the members there. and we're hearing that steve scalise and others are likely to be okay, but had his security detail not been there, this could have been far worse. >> no doubt about it, george. if it wasn't for steve scalise not being there -- or, you know, if it wasn't for him -- if he wasn

atf is doing an urgent search on the firearm described as an assault style rifle. the fbi now with a name we believe will begin to unpack this man's background and find out who he has been talking to, what he's been viewing online. that will be critical in the investigation because finding out the motive is critical because you want to understand if there's some kind of threat beyond this lone shooter. right now again authorities say there appears to be no nexus to terrorism. to following determinations have been made and they want to make sure there's not support for this person who did the shooting george. >> we're expecting to hear from virginia governor at around 10:30. you're going to continue your reporting. we want to go to another eyewitness on the scene who lives nearby. >> noah nathan who lives nearby and you were at the dog park when this unfolded. it's just behind this fence. we're talking it's 15 yards behind the ball field. very close, right? tell me what it is you first saw and what unfolded from there. >> i was walking in and the -- they practice he

so now we have seen pictures of the atf arriving on the scene. they will assist local police and the fbi in gathering information and they will look into this weapon. we're told that it could take up to 24 hours to search information about this weapon. for example, where it was pu purchased. this is a process that is done by hand oddly enough in this day in age of advanced technology because it is illegal to store those types of records. so our sources are telling us that this is something that will happen by hand. it could take up to 24 hours to determine where the weapon was purchased. also, with something called niben, the atf will be able to track whether the weapon was used in other crimes. that's why agents are on the scene and will gather ballistic evidence to see if the weapon that you see here on the screen was used in any other crimes. so this investigation still early on, but it is well underway. >> thank you very much, jeff. we're waiting to hear from senator rand paul, a republican from kentucky. senator, tell us where you were and w

of course, start out by thanking the alexandria police, sheriff's office, fire department, the fbi, atf and all of our federal law enforcement and local partners who assisted in this response and it's a very large response ask it will take a while to sort through all of the details. my units of our dignitary protection division were on site with the congressional protectee when the incident occurred. they did engage in gun fire with the suspect and were assisted by the alexandria police. the united states capitol police officers who were injured are in good condition and have not suffered any life-threatening injuries at this point. as we get more information we'll be working through the fbi and our local partners with the alexandria police to provide more details as they become available, but at this point i would like to turn it over to the fbi. >> good morning. tim slater. i'm the sac, the special agent in charge of the washington field office. this is a secure community at this point. it's an active investigation, however, the security of the community is paramount, and i want to re

atf will be checking the weapon. when was it purchased? where did it come from? many witnesses have said it was a rifle, a long gun, and that he reloaded it with magazines or ammunition clips during this. all that is one line of inquiry. the second is to try to trace his movements. when did he come here? how long has he been here? looking at gas station receipts. bridge toll or road toll pictures, hotel receipts, all those things to try to trace his movements. also, obviously to get a search warrant, search his residence in illinois, look at his car, get the license number, talk to relatives, see who he was calling on the phone, who he was e-mailing. all of that is going to take a lot of time. >> pete, i was going to ask you about that very same kind of cascading list of events that happens when you feel you have a positive id. it can often, within the hour, result in a battering ram, opening the door of an apartment or house in bellville, illinois, in this case. as you point out there, so much imagery in our modern life, that you could be able to piece together

and the atf, and we will be processing with our fbi evidence recovery team as well. obviously, we are looking to glean what we can from the contents regarding his electrical devices that he owned. law enforcement has reason to believe that the shooter has been in alexandria, virginia area since march of this year. the fbi has issued again, a seeking information poster located at our website, asking the public to come forward with information on the shooter. to the local alexandria community, we believe the shooter has been living out of his vehicle in the vicinity of east monroe street. therefore, asking you to report any interactions you may have had with him. likewise, the subject traveled from his residence in illinois, and we are asking and speaking with individuals who know him personally, or who may have encountered him on his travels. if you have information, please call the fbi's 24 hour tip line and selectllfbi option one. the 24 hour tip line is 1-800-callfbi. all tips will remain confidential. no amount of information is too small to report. law enforcemen

what we used to say to our agents in atf, if you're shot and you know it, you have a real good chancef living, don't despair. if you're shot and you know it. so when you're shot in the leg or the hip, you know, the medical care you're going to get right there is going to be exceptional. so unless the wound is immediately fatal, you can fight and you've got a chance to live, and let's hope there's no fatalities out of this. maybe the distance and the shooter moving and being engaged by the capital police would have kept the fatalities down. let's just hope that's the case. >> jim to be clear for our viewers and listeners, this is all very early, so the information could and will likely change to a certain extent. but it sounds like you're fairly certain that this was a deliberate act. >> we have a lot of shootings we go to with the police and atf and fbi, and when they're gang-related or criminals shooting each other or drive-byes, that happens on a front stoop. it happens when a gathering of a gang member's funeral. we've those. we've had them at bars and nightclubs in the early morni
