pop, pop, pop, straight in a row, about three seconds later there were four more gunshots and all the people there in the cafeteria, we all wan i canned and we was trying to decide which way we were going to run out. people, workers in the cafeteria wanted us to stay here but i just ran. jenna: you can understand that feeling, just wanting to get out of any of the buildings. we've confirmed that there are questions about two gunmen still not in custody at the navy yard and a big question about what happens now, what is the process for getting one of the shooters that apparently is barricaded somehow, getting him into custody which would be key at this point. gregg: how do you do that? look. you're vastly experienced in this sort of thing. are you convinced there's a second shooter here or is that a precaution that's normally undertaken when there's a shooting? you always look for somebody else. but how do you deal with this situation? >> well, i'm not necessarily convinced yet that there is a second shooter. i'll tell you why. a lot of earlier reports and as a matter of fact, my source said they know for a fact that one of the shooters had multiple weapons. now, if that's the case, it's a possibility that maybe, because there were different types of rounds, bullets used, people started thinking maybe there was a second shooter. we doen know that yet but i can tell you that the police department will err on the side of caution and they're going to approach the situation as if there may be two shooters. one other thing real quickly. a lot of viewers have been asking why did they shut down or restrict travel out of reagan international airport? let me tell you why. there's a waterway, the potamac river. you can get to the airport in less than 15 minutes by way of water. that's why they shut the airport down and they wanted to secure that. as a matter of fact, they alerted our d.c. police harbor troll this morning if they see a vessel on the water to pull it over. that's the primary reason why they shut the airport down. they are letting planes come in but nothing is going out quite yet until they get this situation under control. jenna: they're not underestimating whoever is responsible for the shootings and that's probably wise at this time to not do so. you've been to this navy yard and there's so many different reports about what happened. when did the initial shooting start. we heard around 8:20 this morning. whether or not that was at a security check point or not is a big question but when you enter into this navy yard, what type of security is greeting you? if you're going into one of the buildings like building 197 where the shooting took place, how would you be searched? >> well, i can tell you on a monday morning especially, there's tons of navy officers, tons of marines around the area. there's plenty of police all around the area. when you pull up to the main entry gate, which i think is probably where the shooting took place and i only say that because i saw a picture earlier of a victim on the ground and where he was on the ground was right by the entryway to the navy yard. usually there's about four or five naval police officers standing there vetting people before they actually go in. now, once you get in on the ground, you're pretty much on the ground, you can go to any building but keep in mind, navy police are all over that base so it would be very difficult to bring a weapon on the ground that quickly and get far onto the grounds. this guy, i believe, targeted that building for a reason. that's where most of the senior executive service members are housed. that's where their offices are. this guy went directly there, did a lot of shooting there and that's where this guy is hid out right now so it will be interesting to find out what was this guy's connection to the military. gregg: and picking up on that, your thoughts on, you know, the motivation behind this sort of thing and i know it's early to try to know but it's a very conspicuous target here. >> absolutely. and that's one of the leads that the f.b.i. and the other law enforcement partners will be pursuing to figure out why is it that particular building. an installation like the navy yard with so much security, you almost have to think that somebody had some intelligence going in. this would be a very tough target in my estimation to just basically, without any type of surveillance or, you know, reconnaissance or at least having a general description of how the security is set out and the difficulties to move around, it would be very tough target. it's not a soft target. it's a fairly hard target. that leads, you know, the possibility that this is an individual that has at least some level of foreknowledge going into this attack. again, that's speculation. we don't know. the facts are yet to unfold. jenna: hard target in that you would have to know specifically where you're headed but on a military base, you're not allowed to carry weapons, at least military personnel are not allowed to carry them on a base and someone working or familiar with the area probably would know that. >> that is true. but also there's many security posts, there's different, you know, access control at different levels of the perimeter so again, it's not like a hospital or a movie theater where people can kind of come and go. this is an installation with various levels of security, with cameras, with security personnel and the like. so it's -- it takes a pretty gutsy person or persons to take on a military installation. jenna: and that question to why is always the big question in stories like this. why would someone choose to shoot anyone, murdering them according to the reports that we have. we're still working on numbers but we do have confirmation that there are reports of fatalities and injuries. i just want to know the time for viewers. we're coming up on 11:40 eastern time. that's when we expect the president to speak. it was scheduled previously to talk about the economy. we understand the president is running slightly behind. we have no indication that he will not speak. we are also waiting a press conference from local d.c. law enforcement that was supposed to take place 30 minutes ago. we do not have that yet but we'll bring you there as we have that. it's a three-mile radius between where the navy yard is and where the white house is and the capitol hill is. gregg: it's interesting that all of this is taking place within a three or two mile radius of the white house where the president was going to be speaking and now all of a sudden, that has been put on hold. we don't know if it's because of the events at the washington navy yard where several people have lost their lives according to officials but i want to go back to john. so look. you know this venue. you know the circumstances. you know the personnel. so what would you be looking at here in terms of the shooter? >> well, i guess the thing that is most alarming, especially to law enforcement on the scene, is the fact that the shooter or shooters have been identified as carrying a.r. 15 military style weapons. and these weapons are extremely dangerous, even to your average law enforcement person. the typical kevlar vest, bulletproof vests that most security officers and police officers on patrol will wear are not equipped to stop this type of weaponry so it takes special protection which the swat teams gregg: let me interrupt you if a moment because the associated press is now reporting the shooter is dead. let me just read the bulletin. it just crossed the wires about a minute ago. federal law enforcement official says the shooter at the washington navy yard has died. now, we don't know the circumstances, whether he was shot by law enforcement trying to apprehend him, if he killed himself as is sometimes the case. but none tthelesnonetheless, we received word whether a second shooter is apprehended. jenna: exactly. that's one of the confusing parts of this early morning report. we initially heard one shooter with multiple injuries, multiple fatalities. now just during the hour, jennifer griffin at the pentagon confirmed that law enforcement is looking into the possibility of two shooters and one of the reasons is different bullets found in different victims but we also heard reports that one of the shooters has two different weapons so this is what we're trying to work through and it could explain this information, and we'll work to confirm it ourselves why we haven't seen the press conference as of yet and we're potentially waiting on the president, any sort of press briefing he might bring us as well. gregg: they may be waiting for firm confirmation but the associated press reporting that federal law enforcement official is now saying that the shooter, and not multiple shooters but the shooter, according to this federal official at the washington navy yard has died. we don't know the circumstances in which he died. one would assume it would be one of two ways. he was either shot by law enforcement trying to apprehend him or end the situation or he took his own life. but we should get further details at the news conference and there you see on the left-hand side of your screen the cameras and, you know, the microphones set up here for the news conference which is now delayed probably one would speculate because of this. and the president's speech at the white house on the economy has also been delayed. now, that may simply be because he is often late at his own news conferences. but we'll wait and see. jenna: 8:20 this morning east coast time, reports of a shooting at the navy yard in washington, d.c. a big question as to whether or not there are multiple shooters but we have been able to confirm that there are multiple deaths and multiple injuries. and nature of the injuries is something we're waiting on. we're hoping to hear from the hospitals as to what they're seeing from the victims brought into their hospitals. if you joined us a little earlier in our broadcast here on fox news, you saw the helicopters flying around building 197. that is the building where the shooting took place. it's an area where there are both active duty military but also contractors working on different projects related to the navy shipbuilding and procurement of weapons, things like that. you're seeing tape on the top of the screen. is that tape or live? we've seen the helicopters. this is tape. this is what we've seen throughout the morning. these helicopters swirling around the tops of buildings and at times, looked like lowering people down and also bringing people up. we saw maybe a total of three or four people brought up and a big question about whether or not those were injured, were they law enforcement? we're still waiting for details. gregg: reuters is putting it differently. they say u.s. navy official is confirming one shooter is down in the u.s. navy yard shooting which leaves obviously the possibility of a second or third shooter which the latest we heard from military officials was they were still searching for a second shooter. the associated press seemed to suggest that it was over because the shooter was down and has been killed. so, you know, we still don't know yet whether this is over but we may learn more on the left-hand side of your screen when we receive information from officials there at the scene. they say and now i'm reading the latest a.p. officials say at least one shooter has died so they're backing off saying the shooter. now they're saying at least one shooter has died where several people were killed, as many as 10 were wounded. jenna: we're getting more information from our justice department and sources on the ground about what actually is transpiring inside the navy yard at this time and what we understand is that the same team that helped pull dzhokhar tsarnaev from the boat in boston, when there was a great concern about additional explosives and what was actually going to transpire in boston, that same team is on the ground in the navy yard so they're not taking anything off the table. one shooter is dead but a question about whether or not there's still a risk to the area, that's obviously something that law enforcement is not taking very lightly and continuing to work multiple angles. gregg: and let's move our multiple angles. steve is standing by live with the latest information. >> the latest is that metropolitan department is planning to hold a news conference here and tell us whatever they can tell us. we don't know when that will happen. they said stand by. they'll try to put somebody up. it's a fluid situation. that may be an understatement. this situation seems to be not totally resolved, seems to be changing. we saw a lot of emergency vehicles speeding toward the scene earlier this morning. then we saw them all speeding away from the scene the other direction. we don't know exactly what that might indicate, if anything. we don't know the number of casualties, whether anybody has been killed for sure. certainly the navy said earlier several people were injured. that's been confirmed. we don't know the number of fatalities, we don't know the number of injuries but certainly a bad situation as workers arrived here, as building 197 on the washington navy yard, 8:20 this morning when a gunman opened fire. now, the building is four stories and has a large atrium on the inside. gregg: we seem to have lost our live shot with steve. let me know if we get him back. that may happen any moment now. jenna: we're getting brand new area from a washington area hospital as to what is the nature of the injuries. apparently there was just a briefing at the washington hospital center and at that hospital, there are three individuals at this time. what the hospital is reporting, that there was one woman who was lifted from the roof, one woman who was shot in the head and one male d.c. officer who is in surgery right now. they're all considered to be in critical condition and this is, again, just a small portion of the report earlier that we had multiple injured and also some fatalities. now we're getting an idea as to at least what happened to four people in the building today. gregg: peter has been all over the story this morning. what have you been able to learn? >> i mentioned the last time that we were talking that a metro -- d.c. metro police vehicle, a big truck that is secured right now that was just parked in the lot came out about an hour ago, maybe a little bit more, and they made a loud p.a. announcement, they were blasting it over to the wall into the area right now where the scene is, where the shooting took place and they were saying -- they were giving an order for everybody to shelter in place until an all clear has been given. we're really just about 150 yards away from where that truck is and we have not heard them give an all clear, at least over that p.a. system. now, last time also we spoke, the weather was really, really nasty but it has cleared up a little bit now and the helicopters we've seen consistently all morning long. after we were here for about 30 minutes. so basically for about the last two hours, really circling, really concentrated on one area. we've had one helicopter flying real low. that's the one we've seen dropping in officers and equipment and we have seen other helicopters much higher in the sky. a lot of traffic above us but as far as we can tell, things have not changed. the officers are not acting like the situation really is any less severe right now. in fact, as i was listening to steve just now, an officer pulled up in what looks like his personal car and was armoring on. he was putting on full body armor he was taking out of his truck and he headed on down towards the scene. that's where we are right now. things are very tense and no kind of update that it's okay for people to let their guard down yet. gregg: fluid situation obviously. a moment ago you saw an individual in front of the cameras and the microphones announcing that the news conference will begin momentarily. peter, stay with us. i'm coming back to you in a second. i just want to let the viewers know what they were seeing. they were seeing apparently the public information officer for the navy shipyard who was giving heads up to the reporters there on the scene that the news conference will begin momentarily. but jenna, it would suggest that if they're going to hold the press conference at that location that the situation is resolved -- i don't want to speculate but they -- you know, the notice here is that the shooter is down and one would suspect that they would not hold a news conference if there were multiple shooters. jenna: we have no description of a second shooter yet and we want to be totally transparent about that. the last hour we've told you about whether or not there's a second shooter or someone that has not been apprehended. and we don't have a description to share with you on that. we're urging some caution with those reports but we know that law enforcement is looking into the possibility that that is the case here. just want to go back with something else that we just mentioned to you on the air. the scene at the navy yard is still an active investigation scene. and the best of the best team from the a.t.f., the special response team is on site and what they're looking for is any sort of explosives. these are the same guys that responded to the boston terrorist attack so there's great caution in that big facility that has 3,000 people working at it every day about what potentially has been left behind, what is there. why they're looking into that, we don't know but there's obviously precaution on that point. we're waiting to know if there are folks still in the buildings that have yet to be evacuated. remember, there was a shelter in place set up for those buildings and apparently there's still folks inside. retired major general joins me now. he's also a fox news contributor and he's frequented this navy yard and just a tough day with so much unknown right now and the only thing we do know is that some people and their lives, lives of loved ones have changed forever today and we don't know all the specifics yet. >> yeah. you know, i remember sitting in this very same seat five or six years ago during the fort hood shooting. i think actually i was talking to gregg at this very time, relatively speaking, where we literally were sitting here in agony working about our teammates, ship mates and how well they were doing and speculating who the shooter was. one quick point. some folks asked how can a guy sneak a weapon onto the navy yard. the answer is if you have a valid military i.d. or a contractor's card and you're in a vehicle, those vehicles are only periodically opened and checked. if you have no idea, then you go into another lane where your trunk is opened, your hood is open and the officers look inside. so god forbid, if this shooter has either the contractor card or the i.d. card, he could very easily have taken a bag full of weapons into the navy yard and not been detected. gregg: you're right. we were together that terrible day at fort hood and we couldn't make sense of it if i were correctly. it was just so confounding and horrible and yet we have it here again today. so when you heard about this at the navy yard and you've been there many times, what were your thoughts? >> well, you know, there are about five sort of military totems in washington, d.c. that have long been targets of terrorists and whackos and that's fort myers that houses the guard, the navy yard which is navy systems command and andrews air force base which, of course, houses air force one. and any time you go in any of these installations, you can sense the tension that the guards there are on constant alert. not just to go search everybody who comes in but they're constantly looking to stop any type of craziness like this. these are installations that, you know, aren't closed. it's a workplace. for a few senior navy officers, it's their home. for those of us who spent many years in military and view the military installations as sanctuaries and monuments, this is particularly offensive. jenna: stand by with us. don is still with us, rod wheeler as well and don, you've worked in a variety of different task forces that have responded to emergencies like this and although we mentioned the comparison to fort hood earlier, because that's a natural comparison at a military base, a lot of questions. you mentioned something early on. whoever did this shooting seems to have a focus where they were heading. >> it seems that on the surface, and i'm basing that just on what's been reported so we doen know that to be a fact but if this person actually made his way to a specific building that is the location where many of the high level executives work from, that possibly leads to speculation that he had specific targets in mind. with that then, as going back to your other guests have said, you know, what do we know about this person or persons? you know, did they work in this building as contractors or military? do they have relatives? what level of intelligence do they have that possibly could give them a bit of an edge over the average person? and the other thing that's wearsome and we were mentioning this before is the weaponry. when somebody is using military style weapons but do they have the training that goes with that? if somebody has tactical training that could also give them a bit of an advantage over the average person. this is something that law enforcement needs to absolutely be concerned with and that's why i think you see that the situation is unfolding slowly because the swat teams are taking their time, they're securing the perimeter and there's no reason to put anybody in harm's way. the time right now is on the time of the swat teams to do this carefully. gregg: you see p the choppers with the people who may have been rushed to area hospitals. moments ago, this has just come into us, here is a doctor at a local hospital. take a listen. >> tragedy at the navy yards, multiple individuals have been shot. we have a report of individuals who have died at the scene and we have a transportation of three gunshot victims to our hospital at this time. jon: that's med star washington hospital. one of the venues where people were injured in this shooting were taken and there you see the chopper shot from a short while ago as they rescued some of the victims off the top of the roof. we do not have any firm confirmation on the number of fatalities of who were injured and that will likely change so we're very hesitant to give you that information. jenna: reuters are saying area hospitals expect more of the injured to come to them so there's still that note that, again, it's developing. we don't know if anybody has gotten out of the complex as of yet. we're continuing to question this motive. we don't want to ignore the question but we've received no indication from anyone or any commentary that terrorism is the motivation in this case. we just asked the secret service if there's any additional precautions being taken at or around the white house. the white house is only a little over two miles driving from this area you're seeing on the screen and the secret service, the spokesman said no at this time. so to you, a homicide detective, the secret service is not taking extra precaution. we get the word that one shooter is dead. there's still the question of a second shooter but based on the information that we have right now, where do we go from here? gregg: i'm sorry. let me just toss in here, rod, and let you answer in a second, the president has been delayed now at the white house. he was going to speak and there you see the podium at the white house indoors. he was going to speak on the economy. this has been planned for several days. talk about the five-year anniversary of the financial meltdown as it was known. we have no word as to whether the president will address the situation nearby within a couple of miles from the white house. i'm sorry. jenna: it's okay. go ahead and take it from here. we're about four hours since the initial reports of the shooting. we know the little that we know at this point, where do we go from here? >> i continue to get updates from my sources on the scene and let me just share with you and the viewers real quickly what i just learned. there's a police officer, mpd officer, a fellow officer of mine at the med star unit that's the washington hospital center in critical condition. from what i understand, that's the officer that engaged in a gun battle with this gunman and the other thing that i just learned is that the police now have entered the third and fourth floor of the building and from what i understand, the shooter, his body is still over there in building 197. this has not been confirmed yet but that's what i'm hearing from several sources on the ground there. so again, it's still a fluid situation. the police are clearing out the building right now. what does that mean? that means they're going to rule out at some point whether or not there was, in fact, a second shooter. here looking for various weapons that could have been used by the one person that apparently has died over there. and that's the reason why it's been somewhat quiet over the past hour. i actually got that text message about 45 minutes ago that this person had expired in the building over there but again, we're just waiting for official confirmation. jenna: how much time have you spent with the d.c. law enforcement? >> 12 years with the police department and then most of my time was spent in homicide. jenna: we're waiting for the press report from the d.c. metropolitan police and we understand that the navy is on lead on the scene, the f.b.i. is also working on the scene as well. at this point in the investigation, how are all these pieces working together? and what is the question that you would be seeking to answer at this time? >> there's a lot of questions obviously in a situation like this. the primary question is, who is this individual that came onto the ground? were there any warning signs with this person as we know it? with this individual, was there warning signs? why did this individual choose today, a rainy monday here in washington, d.c. to go into the navy yard which he should have known is very well protected and secure. why? why are the questions we still have to ask and i can tell you that the various police agencies ranging from the a.t.f. who is investigating the type of weapon this guy was using to the d.c. police to the f.b.i., we're all trying to figure out who was this guy, put the pieces together and whether or not he, in fact, targeted any particular individual. we always have to look at the first victims and in a situation like this, the first victims that were shot, why were these individuals shot but it sounds to me the first victim was one of those security officers or the police officers in the navy that stand out there on eighth street. it seems like that's where this guy went in. that's the main entryway onto the naval base. jenna: and many of our viewers have not been on a navy base. it's not something we do on a regular basis unless you're attached to the military in some way or a civilian working on the base but when you enter here at the navy yard, would someone search your car? look through my handbag? would they wait until i reach a building? how is security done there? >> right. good question. if you have an appointment with somebody on the military establishment, the military ground, you have to go through a search and lane of traffic. they do search your car, look underneath the car with mirrors. you do have to provide identification and give the name of the person you're there to see. now, on the other hand, if you are a military personnel, a member of our military or a contractor, you go through a different lane of traffic, not quite as extensive checking of your vehicle. just show yourism i.d., get a pass and go onto the grounds at that point. what's interesting is that the shooting apparently started right at the gate which makes me wonder, and i'm just speculating here, was this guy a member of the military? if he was, he would not have had to start shooting at the gate. he could have actually went onto the ground. we'll find out the answers soon enough today. gregg: we're waiting for a news conference from police authorities. we've been showing various police authorities who have been handling the situation but this is federal territory, is it not? thus the feds have jurisdiction. >> when it comes to homicide and the district of columbia, we work with the navy police but the d.c. homicide branch will be heavily involved in that situation. i had a case on the naval base years ago involving naval officers and i took the lead on that case. it really just depends on the variables involved in this case. the navy police, they will be involved. c.i.d. unit, their criminal investigation division, they're housed out of that same area over there and so they will be involved. they may take the lead. i think all of that is going to be sorted out. it's going to come down to either the naval police or the d.c. police. i think the naval police will take the lead. jenna: we keep referring to it as a navy yard. what you're seeing is some of the helicopter footage from earlier today and some initial response. right now as we understand it, the scene is relatively quiet compared to what it was like only a few hours ago. this is the naval sea systems command headquarters. about 3,000 people both active duty military and civilians work in this area and we're just now getting some more comments from some of the people inside the building that came face to face with the gunman. this is according to the associated press. one of the men's names is todd brunbidge. he said he and other co-workers encountered the gunman in this long hallway of their building. we have that's 197 on the third floor. he said the gunman wore all blue. he said -- again, this is todd, that he just turned and started firing. another executive assistant with the same agency said she saw the gunman firing towards her and her colleague. she said he aimed high. he missed. he said nothing. as soon as i realized he was shooting, we just said get out of the building. gregg: let me just add an urgent bulletin from the associated press. navy officials say at least six are dead in the navy yard shooting. we caution our viewers that the numbers are invariably unreliable early on. you know, it's very sketchy information initially. the associated press reporting that according to the navy. at least six people are dead in the navy yard shooting. we have no count on the number of survivors. we saw helicopters coming down on top of a building and retrieving survivors, people we hoped had survived and were are. now we have confirmation from the navy that six are dead but that number could change. >> the spot where i'm standing right now, about 150 yards away from the front gate as we're watching now to white s.u.v.'s with sirens on leaving, the first leaving rather quickly. it looks like there are three. i'm about 1 1/2 miles exactly from the u.s. capitol rotunda and as this situation unfolds, and again, from where we are, we have not heard the audible all clear from the vehicle that warned people about an hour and a half ago to stay put. it's all about 1 1/2 miles way from the rotunda just on the other side of those far buildings. some offices, some apartments. it's national park. right now we're being told that one of the parking lots at national park where there is a game scheduled against the atlanta braves at 7:05, one of those parking lots is the rendezvous point whereas people are allowed to leave, wherever they're sheltering in place, that's where they want families to come and meet up with their loved ones who hopefully the loved ones who were able to make it out okay. but not a whole lot has changed with the situation. we still have got low flying helicopters. we haven't seen any kind of a tactical operation on or near the roof in probably more than 45 minutes to an hour but still a lot of low flying air traffic and then we've got some helicopters that are circling around each intersection. one is a block away, that one a block way and this whole street is blocked off. as many red and blue sirens as i'm sure were available in the area. right along here in front of the main gate which is book ended by a tall brick fence. we've got two ambulances, a red one and a white one if we can see that, john, and they've been in place for awhile. more than an hour. and initially when they first got there, before we were moved further back, i did see paramedics rushing with stretchers. they had to get the gates. but the ambulances themselves have stayed there and we have seen some ambulances come and go but those two in particular have been there for quite a while now so we would assume that the people who drove them here, the paramedics, e.m.t.'s are still working inside trying to help anybody that's hurt. jenna: and that's what we're hearing. back to peter on the scene in just a moment. i want to go to jennifer griffin at the pentagon. we're still working on other reports in the area. very typical that we get a variety of different reports as we mentioned to you. the numbers are shifting a little bit. we're hearing the associated press report several are dead now, at least 12 have been shot. we're working on getting some confirmation as to what their injuries are. several are in critical condition. we also were able to see some of the air lift that had taken place from the roof of this building, 197. so we're working on getting confirmation, a variety of reports out of the d.c. area. a couple of things we're waiting on is the press conference from the local law enforcement. obviously a developing situation within the last hour. we heard at least one shooter is now det. that is being reported by the associated press. we're also waiting for the president at the white house. just about two miles away from the scene. this is -- it's very tough to know at the time that we don't want to go overboard with the additional reports. gregg: on the left-hand side of the screen, these news conferences are delayed simply because law enforcement is trying to gather all their facts together and they're trying to get the latest information. rod wheeler is our guy with the latest information because he's tapping his sources. rod, what have you learned? >> i can confirm that there are several fatalities. i don't know the exact number. i actually heard that about a half an hour ago. i didn't want to report it because it wasn't confirmed yet. there are several people still in the hospital. i have heard there are 12 victims total. there's supposedly now just one gunman, although the swat unit, they're still in the building over there and they're sweeping the entire building but there's a second building from what i'm being told that they're sweeping as well just as a precaution in case there was somebody else. the reason that i'm being told that the police believe there could have been two shooters initially is because two different types of rounds was taken from the bullet fragments from some of the victims so any time that happens, the police department automatically alert us and law enforcement so that we know what we're dealing with. it appears to be a high powered weapon that was used because how do we know that? because of some of the rounds that was used. gregg: new s conference is abou to begin. let's listen. >> good afternoon. we obviously have had a horrific tragedy here at the navy yard and the immediate area beginning this morning about 8:20 a.m. a shooter entered the building 197 which is the naval sea command and began shooting. our active shooter team responded immediately there. launched a search for the shooter and engaged at least one persona long the way. we know that there are four wounded that have been removed from the scene and taken to a hospital. we're still trying to confirm the number of fatalities involved and we'll have to do that later. we don't know of any other installations that are involved in this. we would ask all residents in area to stay out of the area with all the active investigation going on and of course, because it's involved the military and the federal government, we have been actively and directly and continuously involved with the white house confirming what we know at this stage. i want to call on our police chief now to provide additional details. she'll be followed by the park police chief and we have other law enforcement officials here with us. we're not prepared to answer a lot of questions at this stage because this is a continuing active situation and we will reconvene at some point later this afternoon as more information is available to us. >> so obviously at this point it's very preliminary. i'll give you what it is we do have right now and there's still a lot of work to be done. we won't take questions right now. we'll be doing another briefing within the next two hours. we'll give locations for that briefing. right now what i can tell su our initial call came in for a shooting on the navy yard. it came in shortly after 8:15. there was a request for metropolitan police assistance. active shooter teams were deployed and deployed on base within seven minutes of the first call coming in. multiple active shooter teams from the metropolitan police department, park police, u.s. marshals, eventually also f.b.i. have been inside the base since that time. right now, and this is very, very preliminary, we have one m.p.d. officer who was shot in an engagement with the shooter inside the navy yard. we have one shooter that we believe is involved in this that is deceased. we also have other casualties. i will not give a confirmed number at this time but i would say we have multiple victims inside that are deceased. we will give updates once we have those numbers confirmed. the big concern right now for success that we potentially have two other shooters that we have not located at this point. so right now, all we have on those potential other shooters and this is not confirmed. we potentially may have two additional shooters out there. one being a white male who was last seen around 8:35, 8:40 this morning in a khaki, tan military uniform, short sleeved with a beret hat, appeared to be like a naval uniform. that white male was last seen around 8:35 this morning with a handgun. we also have a lookout potentially for another shooter involved that was a black male, approximately 50 years of age, who may have been in possession of a long gun. that person was wearing an olive grab colored possible military style uniform. we have no information to believe that either of those folks are military personnel but we do have information that those individuals are wearing military style uniforms. so anybody that has information that may have seen someone matching those descriptions, we are asking for them to call the metropolitan police department. in terms of the investigation, it is still very active. we have asked our members of the community to please remain out of the area and in their homes until we finish doing a search. obviously with this large area here, we're still engaging a search on. with that i just want to thank all the other agencies that have been here. this is a very active, ongoing, unified investigation at this point. the f.b.i. has been here fully engaged from the very beginning along the park police, metro transit police, d.o.d., naval criminal intelligence so we've had everybody with us all along. as we get more information, we'll push it out. our officer is in stable condition right now in surgery. >> the only thing to add, we were with the m.p.d. very quickly on the scene and that happens a lot in washington, d.c. and of course, we have our aviation component that's helping with still eyes in the sky as well as medivac and we'll be part of this ongoing and fluid investigation and we'll be back with you later today. thank you. >> we are not prepared to answer questions at this stage. we'll be back in a couple of hours as we gather more information. we don't want to provide information that hasn't been confirm sod please bear with us as we continue this investigation and in a couple of hours, i'm sure we'll have more. thank you all very much. gregg: you heard the question there, was this an act of terrorism and maybe it was answered initially when it was said that this is an isolated incident. active shooter teams deployed within seven minutes, four wounded, nobody saying about the number of falthities which is wise at this point. metropolitan police department engaged the shooter. he was shot. he's in stable condition, the police officer. potentially this is the headline, there could be two other shooters out there, a white male and a black male with a long gun. jenna: jennifer griffin has new information for us now. >> we have confirmed with navy officials what cathy, the police department chief has just said, that the one shooter is dead. that was the african-american who was described as the six foot tall bald wearing a dark outfit. he was -- he had with him at least one semi -- an ar-15 rifle. now we know from police officials that they are actively looking for two other possible suspects who could have been involved in this incident. one of them is described as a white male, last seen at 8:35 a.m. wearing a military uniform and a beret. they have no indication that he was a member of the military but dressed in military garb. the second suspect they're also actively searching for right now is a black man, age 50, carrying a long gun according to police chief, wearing olive drab uniform, military style uniform. no indication these three individuals who took part in the shooting, the other two alleged to have taken part in the shooting, that they were members of the military. they did manage to get on the base, have at least two long guns with them but that one shooter, we had confirmed earlier, was dead in building 197. it's not clear whether he took his life or whether he's shot by authorities. jenna: we have another report of these two additional shooters, potentially, although we have it unconfirmed at this time whether or not there were indeed other shooters. we just heard the question shouted to law enforcement. i'm curious at the pentagon, is there a discussion about motive being terrorism? >> there's no discussion right now of motive. this is moving very quickly. in fact, there were reports just within the last hour that there was another shooting, possible shooting at andrews air force base. we can now confirm there was no shooting that took place. we've talked to the spokesman over at andrews air force base. those were misleading reports that came out. it just shows how jumpy everyone is right now. they thought there were shots heard on andrews air force base. they took precautions but they have given an all clear and there was no shooting at that second base. it's worrisome there are two suspects who are on the loose right now. they're asking for the public's help in trying to locate them. one is a white male, wearing a military style uniform and beret, last seen at 8:35 near andrews -- excuse me, near the naval yard in southeast d.c. and then there's also a black male, approximate age 50, also dressed in olive drab military style uniform. no indication that these are military members. he's carries a long gun and they're very worried about these two individuals. active pursuit for these two individuals even though the one shooter who took the lives of several people is dead. gregg: we're receiving confirmation from our capitol hill producer that indeed the shooter referred to in the news conference is, in fact, dead, though we have no confirmation on a second or a third shooter who may still be at large which was also mentioned at the news conference. your thoughts, though, based on the background information you're getting from your sources there, when the question was posed, you know, is this an act of terrorism, there was no response though early in the news conference, it was said that this is an isolated incident. not that the two are related. but any information? >> right now i don't think anybody wants to get into the motive behind this attack. it is certainly a different situation if you're talking about a lone gunman versus multiple suspects involved. the fact there's a manhunt right now for two other individuals announced by the police chief in washington, that raises other issues. but it is much too early to talk about a motive in this attack. gregg: indeed. all right. jenna: certainly a lot of questions still are unanswered at this point. if we could, if you're just joining us, we want to make sure we're recapping this for you. what you're seeing on the screen there is a map of the area in washington, d.c. where this has taken place. the naval yard is a little over 2 1/2 miles from the white house where we expect to hear from the president shortly. his briefing has been pushed ailing bit and he's expected to speak shortly from now. we're expecting him about a half an hour ago. that was slid because of what has transpired in the navy yard. we just got a press briefing from local law enforcement that told us new information about two shooters that are potentially on the loose. they're looking for suspects at this time. still what actually transpired in the building is something we're trying to piece together this morning at 8:20 when shots rang out at the navy yard and joining us with more information now is someone that not only worked in the navy but also has friends inside the building. his name is commander lipholz. commander, tell us about your morning so far a folks were able to get in touch with inside the building 197. >> first thing when i heard about the shooting on the local news, tuned in and started listening and realized it was at the navy yard, knew i had friends at what we call the navy sea systems command so i just texted him. heard there's a shooter on the navy yard. the text i got back was that the shooter was in their building, they're taking a sheltering in place, that shots had been fired and they were told to remain still. talked with a naval academy classmate of mine who told me he had bullet holes in his office but was able to get out safely. he's hunkered down. they've now since been able to get together their two groups. they have people unaccounted for in the building but the building itself when you look at it is not an easy facility to get into. jenna: tell us about that. why? >> when you get onto the navy yard itself, you have to show some form of identification to the guards at the gate that divides from the civilian side to the military side. if you have a proper identification and can vouch for the i.d. of those that may be with you, they'll allow you to go in. random vehicle inspections, chances are for the monday morning routine workday, they aren't going to be doing that. clearly they got on base, found a place to park the car and at that point, the one or hopefully not but maybe multiple shooters got out, armed up and when you go to the front door in this building and you walk in, it is not just you show an i.d. and walk in. you have to be cleared, show your badge or swipe it at a turnstile to get access to the interior of the building or someone meets you there, grants you access, signs you through a verification process to get in. the shooter either right before he entered the building or just as you entered the building, knowing that he wasn't cleared to get in, began shooting and then worked his way up. these friends of mine are up on the fourth floor, third or fourth floor so either the shooter shot his way up and killed a number of people and i think we're waiting to see. it's an active investigation and we're still trying to lock down and find out, were there two other shooters and where are they located on the navy yard itself? jenna: i can't imagine what was going through your mind hearing this from your friends this morning. >> these are just absolute tragedies whether it's a criminal act by one person or whether this turns out to be a little bit worse, an act of domestic terrorism. you know, my first thoughts and prayers go to those that were shot and wounded in the terrible attack, those that will be affected just by having been around it and i think we as a nation need to pull together at this point, extend those thoughts and prayers to their families because many are waiting and wondering just like they did when think ship was attacked. jon: you talked to friends in that building when the gun fire breek out. did they describe more specifically what it was like? you talked to one friend who said he had bullet holes in his office. what more did he tell you? >> it was just via texting. i don't know that they were in a position to make any noise so we were texting back and forth. that's all i know. he said he has multiple gunshot holes into his office but was able to get out of there alive and get to a place where they could shelter in place, stay quiet, stay safe until they were given the all clear. jenna: based on your experience in the navy, there's been questions surrounding what takes place in this building and we know there's some defense contractors and engineers that are working on shipbuilding and weapons procurement. can you tell us a little bit about what actually goes on in the third and fourth floors of the building that we believe the shooting took place? >> absolutely. the building itself is set up where you have a number of offices, they're divided like cubicles like you would see pretty much in any office. many have secure access to them, meaning they have classified information where it is an open container and people are allowed to keep it on their desks. others are more secure. you have to have specific clearance to get in and have knowledge of certain weapons programs or certain ship design parameters as they're being built. but these all work together and function because this is where the navy truly builds the future of the fleet and many weapons systems used out there on navy ships, navy submarines so we can keep the nation safe. gregg: you talked at length about the protections and the restriction about entering the navy shipyard and we're looking at a map right now. given the fact that somebody was able to get in there with a gun, maybe a long gun, maybe an automatic weapon, what, if anything, does that tell you about the shooter? >> well, i think that it was clear that that individual is a well thought out and well execution of a mission where he thought to do as much harm as he could in a short time span knowing he may have to give up his life or at least willing to go in there and take out as many of his fellow citizens as possible. it's just tragic what has happened right now. but again, he's not going to get into that building just by waltzing in and showing an i.d. and walking in, opening up and shooting. he had clearly planned this out to shoot his way into the building to get to the inside and then be able to respond to work his way up multiple floors, shooting all the while taking down other people. jenna: you're giving us unvaluable information. we just received two minute warning from the president. i hope to pop up the picture on the screen for the viewers because we've been waiting for the commander in chief and he was going to mike a press announcement about the economy today. here we are five years since lehman brothers collapsed and that was potentially what was going to happen today, who may be the next fed chairman and these are the issues furtherest from our mind today so when we see the president at the podium, we'll go to the white house a little more than 2 1/2 miles away from the scene. if you could go become to what your friends saw, heard, what is their state now? are they also safe at this time? i don't know if the commander can still hear me. apparently not. all right. we'll work on that. just to recap, the commander was getting text messages from his friend. this guy served the country, has obviously survived terrorist attack on his ship and dmou is getting text messages from his friends inside the building that were sheltering in place and seeing bullets come through their of
