so the srg is in patrol. this is what they were designed and kind of brought to bear to respond to an incident just like this where there's reports of shots fired. multiple 911 calls and when responding to an active shooter the current thinking in policing is to confront that shooter as soon as possible. most incidents they only last 3 1/2 minutes. so you have to get there quickly and you have to confront the shooter quickly. that's what the srg is for. so they would have been out on the streets, they would have been in the area. they would have been in part of the patrol and that section of the bronx and they would have been there to handle it. >> all right. tom, thanks for the good reporting. stand by along with adam reese. i want to go back to bill bratton. >> actually, ali, do i still have you? >> you do. >> okay. so at this point we have heard from multiple law enforcement officials and we are prepared to name the suspect. his name is henry bellow. that's multiple law enforcement sources in new york city

promise that was made, try to keep talking -- using the political rhetoric that, yes, might have been srg am -- successful in the campaign, but most people know, you come to washington and you have to admit that that was all just political rhetoric. let's just drop that idea. my hope is that, look, congress certainly -- by the way, recently refused to allow any money for the building of the wall. but they allowed for repairs to certain parts of the wall that already existed. so that was the first sal vo. i think that was -- salvo. i think that sent a loud message to donald trump. if he wants to do these rallies because he thinks it gets everyone going, hopefully he'll get down to governoring. josh: ken, something that congress will definitely have to weigh in on. on december 31 of this year, section 702 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act will sunset unless congress renews it. you know this well. you were involved in this program when you worked at the white house. two classified programs which 702.art of section i'm guessing that you support re-authorization of this program. ass

have now been trained to do which is the first patrol officers responded and then they send in the srg, their strategic response command which is this group of heavily armed officers themselves with rifles, semi automatic rifles, and their job is to enter in to that building and quickly confront whoever is shooting. there has been some conflicting reports about smoke on some of the floors where the shooting activity may have taken place. right now that is under investigation. it doesn't appear to have been a fire in the building and obviously as we've been looking he did pictures, there are no visible signs ever smoof smoke flames. >> we know that he was a former employee of this hospital. do we have anything more about his background, why he left the hospital, why or not anyone knew he was disgruntled before this happened? >> sure prp the investigative unit has gone through new york state medical records. we can't find anything that is a flag as far as his past. if he was a doctor that perhaps had an incident with a patient, if he was a doctor that had some sort of disciplinary action

that's a combination of officers from the srg unit they're in possession of the heavy weapons.ell as the emergency service unit. they're going to be conducting a grid pattern search. they'll start from the bottom floors and they're going to move up. now bear in mind, this is someone that does -- that's in possession of long gun. those long guns we think about the ammunition that comes from one of those long guns. it has the propensity to penetrate an officer's bullet resistant vest so you'll see a lot of bullet resistant shields that are brought in to the scene of this. you will see a lot of resources that are going to be deployed. in addition to that we have somewhat of a unique situation whereas we have a -- we have patients, we have hospital staff, et cetera. so a lot of what the police department is going to focus on as i heard the first individual mention is they want to get to the shooter as quick as possible. it's not to assess the casualties, but get to the shooter and take them out to prevent further casualties moving forward. >> a little complicated. some of the repor
