behind me here at umc, the sun is starting to come up. can tell you, according to new orleans ems, ten dead, 30 transported across five local hospitals. they have additional units staged downtown as well. they say those hospitals are university medical center, east jefferson general hospital, oxner main and baptist. they received patients. unc with the most, 14 patients transported by ems to unc. i asked were any of the victims first responders, they said they cannot confirm that at this time. they have to defer to nopd for that. the scene is still actively being worked, and nopd is asking the public to stay clear of the area. new orleans ems is asking residents and visitors of new orleans to activate 911 service responsibly for emergencies only. ems has additional staff on duty to continue to respond to 911 calls. again, this is what it's like here at umc. we did see nopd on the entrance ramp. we also saw jefferson parish units on the entrance ramp at this time. again, ten people dead, 30 injured. stay with me on this developing story. b
