sense that at least one of them may have gotten out fairly quickly and that report that one may have boarded a bart train and headed over to oakland. no one has been arrested yet but people are looking for two gunmen as a result. but the situation at the mall has shifted. a lot of the presence that was outside the mall is now inside as they go through painstakingly every little corner of that mall, which is a pretty large mall, the tanforan mall, and the movie theater connected to it as well and make sure that everyone who has been hiding is told it's okay to come out and they want to check everyone and make sure no one slips through the cracks. >> and transportation and accessibility is something we've been focusing on this evening not only because of the heavily -- the heavy traffic in the area because of all the police presence but also on public transportation. a bart spokesperson we spoke with not too long ago said yes, the san bruno station still closed, however, the 12th street station back open. ancer hassan, our abc 7 news reporter, has been on the scene saying that yes, there had been sto
