ekia was in me killed in action. that's when the president knew watching this audio and video in realtime using the technology, that bin laden had been captured and killed. now we're still getting more information about the firefight itself. senior administration officials are backing off this idea that bin laden ever picked up a gun. there were others in that room that did. bin lad was shot twice. once in the head, in the eye, once in the chest. as for the human shield, the woman that was the human shield, they're now backing off of that and saying there was a woman caught in the cross fire and killed. not bin laden's wife. she survived the attack. but this was the wife of one of the others. the only body they pulled out and took was bin laden's body. at this point in time now, they believe that pakistani intelligence agency has secured that compound. >> chuck, any indication on how much of this was captured on video? >> reporter: quite a bit was captured. there's an amazing amount of video. there is photos and vide

aides, what they heard when osama bin laden was shot, i'm told by a senior official was, geronimo ekia and what that means is, engineer on mow is a code word for bin laden, trying to capture or kill him, and ekia is enemy killed in action. so that is the code the president of the united states heard when he knew they thought they had killed bin laden. second key point is that later on in the white house situation room, amidst these photos, is the president, his top aides sitting around a big conference table and sort of debating whether or not, you know, they could go public with this information. do they really know this was bin laden's body, that he had been killed? various aides were saying, look, there's facial recognition technology we believe from that it's him. we believe we have spoken to one of osama bin laden's wives. she says it was him. and they were debating it, but trying to be careful, because this is a big, big deal, obviously. and i'm told by a senior official, finally the president interjected and said, simply, we got him. and he made that call as commander in chief t
