This transcript is automatically generated

IS THAT SOMEBODY TALKING THAT WE SHOULD LISTEN TO? WE'RE GOING TO WAIT TO GO IN JUST A MOMENT.

APPARENTLY WE'RE WORKING ON THE AUDIO OF THE NEWS CONFERENCE.

YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK TO SOME FOLKS ON THE GROUND.

WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT THE NATURES OF THE INJURY? WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR? >> APPARENTLY WHEN THE FIRST SHOTS RANG OUT I SPOKE WITH SOMEBODY ON THE UNIFIED COMMAND CENTER, FROM WHAT I'M BEING TOLD, SEVERAL CALLS CAME IN FOR A MAN WITH A GUN AND WE GOT A CALL THERE HAD BEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE SHOT.

WHEN THE FIRST OFFICERS ARRIVED, NAVY POLICE WERE ALREADY ON THE SCENE.

THE OFFICERS ACTUALLY RESPONDED FROM OUR FIRST DISTRICT SUBSTATION WHICH THE VIEWER SHOULD KNOW IS ONLY ABOUT A HALF BLOCK AWAY FROM THE NAVY YARD.

THE FIRST THING THEY TRIED TO DO WAS CONTAIN THE SITUATION AND TRY TO EVACUATE PEOPLE OUT.

THAT IS WHY WE SEE THE HELICOPTER MAKING SURE NOBODY ELSE NEEDED TO BE EVACUATED MAKE SURE NO OTHER VICTIMS NOW.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SET UP A TRIAGE UNIT AT THE NATIONAL AND THE WASHINGTON NATIONALS STADIUM ABOUT A HALF-MILE AWAY AND STARTED TAKING VICTIMS THERE.

THE MOST SEVERE VICTIMS ARE OVER AT GW HOSPITAL, WHICH MAKES A LOT OF SENSE BECAUSE THEY ARE SET UP TO HANDLE MASS CASUALTIES.

THEY TOOK OTHER VICTIMS OVER TO THE HOSPITAL CENTER AND A COUPLE OF VICTIMS OVER TO THE DIMENSIONS HOSPITAL IN SOUTHEAST D.C.

ONE OTHER THING VERY IMPORTANT.

THE POLICE ARE SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ONE SHOOTER, POSSIBLY TO SHOOTERS.

SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROUNDS WERE USED AGAINST THE VICTIMS.

THE HOSPITALS ARE REPORTING THAT, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WE HAVE TWO AIR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND ASSUME JUST MAYBE THERE WERE MORE THAN ONE SHOOTERS.

THEY DO HAVE THIS INDIVIDUAL OR INDIVIDUALS CONTAINED IN BUILDING 197.

THE S.W.A.

T.

UNIT AT THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM SURROUNDING THAT BUILDING RIGHT NOW.

THEY BELIEVE ONE SHOOTER, POSSIBLY TWO, BUT THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT IS A MORE VICTIMS ON THE FLOOR BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN UP TO THE THIRD OR FOURTH FLOOR QUITE YET.

JENNA: AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LEFT IN THAT BUILDING.

GREGG: LET ME BOUNCE THIS OFF OF YOU.

JON SCOTT ALWAYS JOHNNY ON THE SPOT HAS E-MAILED US WITH SOURCES AND TELLS US THE FOLLOWING.

THE SHOOTING OCCURRED ON THE THIRD FLOOR BUILDING 197.

IF THAT IS THE CASE, EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND THE SHIP ENGINEERING STAFF, HEAD OF THE STAFF TYPICALLY AN ADMIRAL WITH SEVERAL SENIOR EXECUTIVE SERVICE CIVILIANS.

WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU, IF ANYTHING? >> POSSIBLY, AND AGAIN WE ARE SPECULATING BUT THIS IS MAYBE THIS GUNMAN IF THERE IS ONLY ONE GUNMAN SPECIFICALLY TARGETED AN INDIVIDUAL ON THAT FLOOR.

I HAVE BEEN OVER THERE TO THE NAVY YARD SEVERAL TIMES, THAT IS WHERE I WAS STATIONED IN UNIFORM AND I CAN TELL YOU IT IS VERY WELL PROTECTED.

HOWEVER THERE ARE MANY ENTRANCES TO THAT.

THE QUESTION REMAINS NOW WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE NAVY.

OR ANY BRANCH OF THE MILITARY.

OR WAS THIS JUST ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL OFF THE STREET? THIS IS A VERY ACTIVE AND FLUID SITUATION.

ONE OTHER THING I JUST LEARNED IS TYLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY FROM THE NAVY YARD.

ALL THE CHILDREN ARE SAFE.

THEY HAVE THE SCHOOL SURROUNDED RIGHT NOW, THE SCHOOL IS ON LOCKDOWN.

JENNA: THERE ARE ACTUALLY SIX SCHOOLS ON LOCKDOWN AS PART OF A PRECAUTION.

WE SEE A LOT OF DIFFERENT LAW ENFORCEMENT AT PLAY HERE.

WHO WOULD TAKE THE LEAD, AND IF INDEED THERE IS A SHOOTER BARRICADED S REPORT HAS SUGGESTED.

WHAT IS THE STRATEGY AT THIS POINT? >> I CAN TELL YOU THE D.C.

POLICE DEPARTMENT, OUR S.W.A.

T.

UNIT ARE TAKING COMMAND OF THE SITUATION.

WE WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE JOINT TERRORISM TASK FORCE AND A TIME HAVE THAT HAPPENS LIKE THIS ON FEDERAL PROPERTY OR MILITARY PROPERTY WE GET SEVERAL AGENCIES INVOLVED.

HOWEVER, OUR UNIT IS ON THE SCENE RIGHT NOW COMMANDING THIS.

THE FBI IS ON NOTICE.

THEY ARE ON SCENE.

I PASSED BY SOME OF THEM.

THE U.S.

PARK POLICE AND FEDERAL PROTECTIVE SERVICE ARE ALL RIGHT THERE.

THE NAVY BASE ACTUALLY SITS ON CAPITOL HILL, SO A TON OF POLICE OFFICERS ALL AROUND THERE.

THE RESPONSE WAS RIGHT AWAY.

JENNA: WELL SAID, THERE CERTAINLY WAS A HUGE RESPONSE INITIALLY AND THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KICKED OFF FOR THE REST OF US THIS WAS NOT A SMALL SITUATION.

APPARENTLY THE NAVY IS NOW TAKING THE LEAD IN THIS INVESTIGATION, AND ACCORDING TO AN FBI SOURCE TO FOX NEWS, THE S.W.A.

T.

TEAM IS WORKING WITH OTHER AGENCIES TO NOW CLEAR THE BUILDING.

WE KEEP ON CMIS HELICOPTER SWOOPED AROUND, WE HAVE SEEN THEM IN THE PAST LOWERING THE EMPTY BASKETS TO THE BUILDING ROOFTOPS.

THERE'S A BIG QUESTION IF THEY ARE EVACUATING FOLKS THAT ARE INJURED, WHAT EXACTLY ARE THEY DOING AND NOW THEY CONTINUE TO CIRCLE.

WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT GIVEN THERE COULD BE AN ACTIVE SHOOTER THAT IS BARRICADED.

>> THERE IS ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY AND ACTIVE SHOOTER, AND A CRIMINAL CAN SLIP OUT FROM WHERE THEY ARE HARBORED OR STAYING.

THAT IS WHY THEY ARE HOVERING AROUND THE TOP OF THE BUILDING OUTSIDE MAKING SURE NO WAY THIS GUY OR PERSON CAN GET OUT OF THAT BUILDING JUST IN CASE THE POLICE ON THE GROUND MISS THEM.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE SEEING THE HOVERED AROUND.

THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT ANOTHER SHOOTER.

WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THERE ARE TWO SHOOTERS.

IN CASE SOMEBODY ELSE COMES OUT OF THAT BUILDING THEY CAN SPOT THEM MUCH FASTER WITH THE HELICOPTER OVERHEAD.

GREGG: IF THEY HAVE IT CONTAINED BUT NOT IN CUSTODY SUGGESTING HE IS PINNED DOWN, BARRICADED SOMEPLACE, ONE HOPES IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY HOSTAGES.

HOW DO YOU APPROACH THAT SITUATION? >> WE MOVE CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE PERSON THAT IS A THREAT.

IN THIS CASE IT WOULD BE THE INDIVIDUAL WITH A WEAPON.

IF THIS GUY IS ON THE THIRD OR FOURTH FLOOR, CAN TELL YOU THE FBI S.W.A.

T.

UNIT, THEY ARE A FLOOR ABOVE AND A FLOOR BELOW.

THEY WILL CONTINUE TO WORK THIS AREA WHERE THEY BELIEVE THE PERSON IS HIDING OUT WERE STAGING SOME SORT OF AN ATTACK.

THEY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW IF THIS PERSON HAS EXPLOSIVE DEVICE AND THAT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO WATCH FOR IN THESE TYPES OF SITUATIONS SO THEY WILL MOVE VERY CLOSELY.

OUR BOMB UNIT IS ON THE SCENE AS A PRECAUTION.

IT HASN'T BEEN ANY MENTION OF BOMBS BUT AS A PRECAUTION BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW IN THESE SITUATIONS WHAT KIND OF ARTILLERY THIS BAD GUY MAY HAVE.

GREGG: TO THE UTILIZE LISTENING DEVICES? TRY TO GET A FIX ON INDIVIDUAL? >> YES, ALL KIND OF TECHNOLOGY BUT I CAN ALSO TELL YOU THAT HAVE SEVERAL CAMERAS ON THE PROPERTY AT THE NAVY YARD AND I CAN REST ASSURE YOU THEY ARE REVIEWING THE VIDEO FROM THIS MORNING TO DECIPHER WHO WAS THE GUY THAT WAS THE ASSAILANT.

THEY ARE DOING THAT RIGHT NOW AS I SPEAK.

JENNA: BACKING UP A LITTLE BIT FOR THE VIEWERS, WE ARE AWAITING A NEWS CONFERENCE FROM LOCAL LAW
