UPDATE TO YOU SOONER RATHER THAN
LIGHTER.
THANK YOU.
AND THIS MORNING WE ARE
CONTINUING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
THOSE WHO WERE SHOT.
ONE VICTIM WAS A 17-MONTH-OLD
GIRL.
SHE WAS FLOWN TO LUBIC
UNIVERSITY, AND CONTINUING OUR
COVERAGE HERE IS LEAH WITH WHAT
WE ARE LEARNING RIGHT NOW.
LEARNING.>> I AM OUTSIDE.
ACCORDING TO THE POST, SHE IS IN
SATISFACTORY CONDITION, BUT HAS
A HOLE THROUGH HER BOTTOM LIP.
AND SHE HAS SHRAPNEL IN HER
RIGHT CHEST, BUT HER VITALS ARE
STABLE.
I CALLED IN NURSES,
HOUSEKEEPING STAFFS.
FORTUNATELY WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IS
MINOR.
AS FOR NOW THE BABY GIRL IS
THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS
TRANSPORTED HERE.
AND A GO-FUND-ME PAGE HAS
BEEN SET UP FOR BABY ANDERSON AS
WELL.
SO FAR, THE INITIAL GOAL OF
$100,000 HAS ALREADY BEEN
SURPASSED.
I WOULD EXPECT NOTHINGLESS FROM
WEST TEXAS.
WE POSTED A LINK FOR YOU ON OUR
WEBSITE.
AND ANOTHER ONE OF THE
VICTIMS WE ARE CONTINUING TO
LEARN ABOUT IS I.S.D. STUDENT.
CONFIRMING WITH BIG 2NEWS THAT
ONE OF THE STUDENTS WAS KILLED
IN SATURDAY'S MASS SHOOTING.
HERE IS THE STATEMENT IT READS
IN PART.
WE ARE HEART BROKEN AND OUTRAGED
BY THE VIOLENCE THAT STRUCK OUR
COMMUNITY.
AND OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.
TODAY WE ARE LEARNING THAT WE
LOST FRIENDS AND STUDENTS.
OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN BE CHANGED
FOREVER.
THEY WILL HAVE COUNSELORS
AVAILABLE TO HELP STAFF AND
STUDENTS DURING THIS TIME OF
NEED HOSPITAL OFFICIALS TELLING
US THEY TREATED AT LEAST 14
PATIENTS.
HOWEVER, ONE PATIENT WHO WAS
INVOLVED WAS INVOLVED IN A
SEPARATE INCIDENT NOT RELATED TO
THAT SHOOTING.
ONE OF THOSE PATIENTS IN THE
HOSPITAL DID PASS AWAY.
CONTINUES OUR TEAM COVERAGE,
TORI WHAT CAN YOU TELL US RIGHT
NOW?
S THE HOSPITAL ON LOCK DOWN?
WELL, IT IS A QUIET AND STILL
MORNING.
THIS HOSPITAL NO LONGER ON LOCK
DOWN AFTER THAT SHOOTER.
BUT THEY SAY, THAT THEY ARE
PROVIDING SUPPORT AS BEST AS
THEY CAN TO ALL THE PATIENTS
HERE UNFORTUNATELY, ONE PERSON
THEY REPORTED ONE PERSON DID DIE
AS A RESULT OF THOSE INJURIES.
ANOTHER NINE OF THE VICTIMS ARE
IN CRITICAL OR SERIOUS
CONDITION.
EIGHT OF THEM WERE IN SURGERY,
BUT MOST ARE NOW RECOVERING TWO
ARE TREATED DURING THE DAY, AND
RELEASE THAT 17-MONTH-OLD WAS
TAKEN TO THE UNIVERSITY MEDICAL
CENTER, AND WE ARE TOLD BY
OFFICIALS OVER THERE, SHE IS
DOING OKAY.
NOW DURING THIS LOCK DOWN, THE
MEDICAL CENTER SAYS THEY
CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS NORMAL.
AND WHILE NOBODY WANTS TO SEE A
SITUATIONS LIKE THIS, THEY WERE
FULLY PREPARED TO RESPOND.
WHAT I TAKE FROM THIS IS A TEAM
IN THE DESERTS OF WEST TEXAS WAS
PREPARED TO TAKE CARE OF
EVERYONE, AND I DON'T THINK THIS
IS BEYOND US.
ANYBODY CAN DO THIS.
PLEASE BE PREPARED.
NOW OF COURSE WE SEND OUR
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO ALL THE
VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN
THIS SITUATIONS.
THE HOSPITAL SAYS THEY ARE SO
GRATEFUL FOR EVERYONE IN THIS
COMMUNITY WHO STEPPED UP TO HELP
PEOPLE.
DONATING BLOOD, PEOPLE DONATING
FOOD AND MONEY.
THEY SAY THEY ARE MORE THAN
GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING, BUT
THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY DO
NEED SO IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT
DONATING ANYTHING ELSE, THEY
HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH SUPPLIES.
AS FAR AS HOW THE PATIENTS WILL
DOING RIGHT NOW, WE WILL KEEP
YOU UPDATED.
HERE ON BIG 2 NEWS, AND YOUR
BASIN THOM.
FOR THIS ON GOING COVERAGE, FOR
NOW REPORTING FROM THE HOSPITAL.
I WILL SEND IT BACK TO YOU IN
THE STUDIO.
THANK YOU FOR THAT WELL, WE
DID HAVE THE CHANCE TO SPEAK
WITH A DOCTOR IN THE AFTERNOON,
AND HE SAID THE BLOOD RESOURCES
AND THEIR INTERNAL RESOURCES
WERE STOCKED AND READY FOR AN
EVENT LIKE THIS.
TEN THE CONCERN WASN'T WITH
THEIR SUPPLY.
THE FOCUS SHIFTED TO HOW PEOPLE
AT HOME CAN BE BETTER PREPARED
IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.
AND HE DID MENTION THE
IMPORTANCE OF PEOPLE KNOW THINGS
LIKE C.P.R. AND BASIC
TECHNIQUES.
AND C.E.O. HAS SAID THAT THEY
HAVE SPENT YEARS PREPARING FOR
EVENTS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED
YESTERDAY.
THEY SHARED WITH AT THE PRESS
CONFERENCE THAT DURING AN ACTIVE
SHOOTER SITUATIONS, WHEN THERE'S
SEVERAL MASS CASUALTIES THEY GO
INTO OPERATION PROCESS.
THEY START WITH AN ACTIVATION
PHASE, AND THEN AN OPERATION
PERIOD.
AND THEN RECOVERY PERIOD.
AND THEN'T HOW WAS ALSO
CONFIRMING LOCK DOWN.
THAT'S PART OF THE PROTOCOL.
BUT THEY HAVE BEEN PREPARED FOR
SITUATIONS LIKE THIS THAT'S WHY
THESE PLANS ARE IN PLACE.
TO SAVE AS MANY LIVES AS
POSSIBLE.
