PRESENCE AND THAT THERE IS
TIGHT SECURITY AND PEOPLE GET
COMPLACENT AFTER A WHILE.
GARY NELSON IS LIVE THERE ARE
BROWARD HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER
WHERE SOME OF THE INJURED HAVE
BEEN TAKEN TO WHAT DO YOU KNOW
RIGHT NOW, GARY # WELL I CAN
TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE WATCHED A
CARAVAN OF ADVANCED LIFE
SUPPORT RESCUE UNITS ARRIVE
HERE AT BROWARD HEALTH AND
TRAUMA CENTER, IT IS THE
CLOSEST CENTER TO THE AIRPORT.
PRESUMABLY, MOST, IF NOT ALL OF
THE SHOOTING VICTIMS WERE IN
FACT BROUGHT HERE.
WE CONFIRMED THAT THE FIRE AND
RESCUE UNITS CAME HERE FROM THE
AIRPORT, BRINGING PATIENTS
PRESUMABLY, THROUGH THE FIRST
WAVE OF SHOOTING VICTIMS.
THE HOSPITAL WILL NOT TELL US,
NOR WILL FIRE AND RESCUE AT
THIS POINT TO SAY HOW MANY, IF
ANY, PATIENTS ARRIVED HERE
DECEASED ON ARRIVAL, OR DIED
AFTER THEY ARRIVED HERE AT THIS
TRAUMA CENTER.
I CAN TELL YOU, THAT WHILE
THERE WERE EIGHT SHOOTING
VICTIMS, AND FIVE PEOPLE
KILLED, MANY MORE WERE BROUGHT
HERE TO THE TRAUMA CENTER.
FOLKS SUFFERING FROM HEAT
EXHAUSTION, INJURIES SUFFERED.
PERHAPS, ONE PERSON TOLD ME, IN
THE STAMPEDE THAT ENSUED
FOLLOWING THE SHOOTING.
AND, AS THE SHOOTING WAS GOING
ON, IT WAS CHAOTIC.
SO WE ARE TOLD THAT SOME FOLKS
CAME HERE NOT SHOT AND WOUNDED
BUT INDEED, INJURED.
NOW, ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE
IN FACT SHOT AND WOUNDED, WHAT
ARE THEIR CONDITIONS?
BROWARD GENERAL.
TRAUMA CENTER HAS NOT REVEALED
THAT INFORMATION , NOR HAS THE
BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE, AT
LEAST NOT HERE AT THE TRAUMA
CENTER.
BUT, THIS HUSBAND GROUND ZERO
THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON
FOLLOWING THIS TERRIBLE CHARGES
HE AT THE FORT LAUDERDALE
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND THE
SHOOTING AND WOUNDING THE
MURDERS.
AND I DON'T KNOW AND THESE ARE
ALL QUESTIONS YET TO BE
ANSWERED.
AT ONE POINT WE SAW A RESCUE
UNIT CAME IN AND A WOMAN GOT
OUT, HOLDING AN INFANT.
ALSO OUT OF THAT SAME RESCUE
UNIT, THEY CAME FROM THE
AIRPORT.
THE WOMAN HOLDING THE INFANT
HAD BLOOD, SIDE OF HER BLOUSE.
NOW WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS
HER BLOOD OR, PLANT THAT SHE
PERHAPS GOT ON HER IN THE
BLOODBATH THAT OCCURRED AT THE
AIRPORT.
BUT CERTAINLY, DOCTORS AND
NURSES AND OTHER MEDICAL
PERSONNEL HERE AT BROWARD
MEDICAL HEALTH AND TRAUMA
CENTER HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL
FOLLOWING THIS MASS SHOOTING
TODAY AT FORT LAUDERDALE
INTERNATIONAL.
SUCH A TERRIBLE SCENE.
WE SAW SOME VIDEO ON THE RIGHT-
HAND SIDE OF OUR SCREEN EARLIER
OF SOME PATIENTS BEING
TRANSPORTED.
YOU MENTIONED A WOMAN WITH AN
INFANT, WE SAW A MAN AND A
WOMAN BEING TRANSPORTED.
CAN YOU TELL US ANYTHING ELSE
ABOUT THE PATIENTS, WHERE THEY
ALL CONSCIOUS AND DID THEY LOOK
TO BE INDECENT HEALTH?
WE HAD OUR VIDEO --
VIDEOGRAPHER HERE BUT WE HAVE
NOT GOTTEN A CHANCE TO SEE THE
VIDEO THAT WAS FED BACK.
NOW, THAT HAPPENED FOR THREE
HOURS, AND ALL OF THE PATIENTS,
ALL OF THEM WERE IN FACT
CONSCIOUS AND ALERT.
