the commanders are trying to get the information, lawrence, also.ose situations, big walls like that are tough to deal with. you have officers spread out inside and you're trying to get all of that information, where did he go, who is wounded, what happened. the video that you just showed with the three officers and the long guns jumping into their cruiser, that's an active shooter team right there where patrol officers come together and they're going to engage the active shooter. they were changing locations so they may have been going around the other side of the mall or a place where he was spotted to try to cut him off or engage him over there. >> we're also getting reports that the helmet makes identifying the shooter very difficult and some indicating that it was perhaps a motorcycle style helmet with full coverage that would make witness identification virtually impossible. >> right. and he may -- if it's a motorcycle helmet it's not going to be bullet proof but he may see some identity hiding his identity benefit from it. he also may think i

edward lawrence, kpix 5. >> considering he has an assault rifle. it seems lucky there weren't more people injured. do we have any idea how many times the suspect fired that assault rifle? >> reporter: that's what police were saying. is that this is very lucky there weren't more injuries in this. there were ten shots that he got off and seven people were injured total. we do understand from witnesses that he actually would ask people as he was going through the terminal are you with the tsa? and when they said no he moved on and shot down the hallway. he was clearly according to witnesses, hunting and looking for tsa agents. >> edward lawrence live at lax. air traffic is getting back to normal at the bay area three major airports. there were several flight cancellations at ffo and oakland international. and there could be lingering effects through the weekend. if you're headed to the airport or picking someone up today, be sure to check the status of the flight before you head to the airport. not just for trips to lax. because there has been a rippl
