>> We continue with our breaking news coverage, a shooting we know that one
person is dead 2 people
seriously injured. The shooting
started at that truck stop the
pilot at 3 oh one and I 10 sky
for flying alive over the scene
right now. You
know it I know we heard that
there was a shooting there Jen
but some things don’t make
sense. If bullets went flying
there, I’m surprised that
there’s not more of a
police presence.
>> That or because it escalated
then on to I 10 where we know
that there are number of
officers maybe would explain
that. But I think also you know
at the end of the day Bruce and
Mel bring into this
conversation as well
you know remember traffic is
stopped in both directions on I
10 I think that the crime scene
investigators that normally
respond to this and start
literally walking foot
by foot looking for evidence I
just don’t think that they’ve
arrived yet because I don’t see
no I don’t see any crime
scene units every that have
made it there on scene yet you
know and from what I’m getting
from our sources now confirming
it with a second source as
well, you know this was the
original crime scene so it
sounds like this is where that
additional person
was shot. Sounds like he was
shot in the head. So that would
be the individual who was was
dead. It was a person shot in
the chest so he was transported
to
the hospital in serious
condition and then it was the
suspect from the source that
then took off on the highway on
I 10 where ups. Some
reason that a semi truck became
disabled and
then police gauged and gunfire
at this point this is
information we’re getting from
from from a couple of sources,
someone else
saying that it sounded like a
war became a the gunshot, I’m
seeing than just showed up
there so.
>> Alright that answers some of
our questions I can tell you we
just got some new video into
the newsroom we’re going to
turn that around for you
quickly Kelsey if you can give
me the side by Pictures and
video of the 2 different crime
scenes that are being worked
right now so you’ve got the
pilot. Gas station where this
whole incident started
and that’s the semi that was
involved apparently there was a
police chase police engage
the suspect and there was a
shooting there in the middle of
Interstate and the suspect
was shot. An air ambulance
came in and had to take that
person to the hospital because
they suffered life threatening.
Injuries. Now you mentioned the
fact that it sounded
like a war zone there the video
that we’re going to show you
in just a couple of minutes and
this is why you’ve got to stick
stick around, will bear that
out so stick with us here on
Channel 4.
>> You know guys won’t talk
about the truck stop
to it doing a little research
here there are 50 parking
spaces in the truck stop there
are showers. You know
even on their Web site they
talk about that there are ways
for these folks to exercise has
many of them are stopped
because they do have to take
breaks. So truckers kind of our
communities, some of them know
each other maybe not or maybe
they talk while they’re waiting
for before they go to bed.
So who knows if if these people
had a relationship that there
was some type of conflict.
You know as we continue to get
more information we know that
there were 3 people involved
when that suspect took off so
it’s interesting to note is
that you bring up this point
you know this is a very popular
trucks that we’ve all been here
at some point right.
>> Covering stories or anything
else. And the reality is is
that this is a common spot for
people to get
some rest. So you have to
believe that a lot of these
people as you mentioned earlier
to community. You know they
probably a lot of them know
each other. So now what will
happen as you can see what
looks like a crime scene they
may be on backing up and maybe
repositioning itself to maybe
get a little closer than
driving all the way around to
the scene is probably
what’s happening. If we know
just in previous shootings and
this one is certainly very
unique because it involves more
than one person. This
is a painstaking process now
that we will see unfold here at
this truck stop and you are
talking about just methodically
moving from one location to
the other one point after the
other looking for anything that
you can find you know are there
are there any you know
shell casings you know anything
that would glean and help
investigators as they build
this case against
the suspect who was rushed away
from the scene and from what
we’re hearing is still alive
to to to build a case, you know
leading into hopefully answer
the question why did this
happen. You know what led up to
this the shots being fired at
this truck
stop what.
>> An hour and a half ago all
right, I’m just told that we’ve
got that video that I promised
to show you in just a bit not
say what we’re just going to
roll it and I’m not going to
say anything because from
what I understand you can hear
the gunfire pretty prominently
Kelsey go ahead roll that.
♪
>> So yeah I heard I heard sirens I heard a series of 3 gunshots.
I heard more sirens and then 5
gunshots here right a total of
8 gunshots being fired.
♪
And there’s
♪
there’s another.
The video
being we’re always being told
her perspective so this person
who sent us this video first of
all thank you.
>> We’re glad that no one was
hurt. But you know that was
involved in this matter yet
bystanders.
>> But this this
I’m.
>> And thinking East westbound
traffic on I 10 that’s what I
have far of course from us 3 o
one where the shooting started
here at this truck stop Kelsey
do we have actually at the
pilot station available to us.
>> Kelsey we have Ashley Harding available. OK we’re going to try and get her
because we mention the fact
that the crime OK crime scene
units had arrived at the scene.
Ashley can you tell us where.
>> They happen to be staging
right now as we can get a
better idea where this spite of
all unfolded.
>> Yeah, absolutely also
about the way in just show you
we did see detectives arrived
here on scene a crime scene
unit Van just left and I’ll go
ahead and tell you we saw one
of the detectives. It actually
appears to be
a jso. Homicide the
A supervisor whom we’ve seen
before he was far far away but
I also want to tell you I did
briefly speak to a man who a is
a trucker here he tells me he
was actually inside that green
one you see right there.
He says he heard a couple
gunshots. He says this is
coming from him. OK he says
he believes this involves
truckers. So we’re working to
confirm some more information
about that, but he said he
heard a couple of gunshots, he
said that the suspect did take
off. And he said I’m not one of
the 2 who are sure shot here.
He says was taken to the
hospital by ambulance and he
said he had not seen these guys
before he said it again he was
and that green truck right over
there. Not sure what exactly.
What exactly led up to this
he says that you know he’s been
here since last night and
wasn’t really paying attention
until he heard those gunshots
so. He says he’s not being
allowed to leave at this point.
But on
there are detectives here and
he also I should have said this
earlier, I apologize, he said
the bulk of this is on the
other side of that big white
truck
you see that’s right beside his
green once and not the one
closest to us, but the one
that’s right there between the
red and the green trucks.
That’s what I’m getting from
that from that gentleman he did
not want to speak on camera you
said is not from this area, but
that’s what he was able to tell
me at this point so
he’s warning to gather to learn
more about this as well, but
that’s what he told me just the
last 5 minutes or
>> so you’ve
if you can answer sort of
journalistic to pan out just a
little bit
we’ll get some perspective
prefer getting some new
information based on what you
just told us
I see you’ve got the police
unit right there if you look
right be on the police unit.
You’ve got that green trucking
apparently that may have been
one of the truckers involved
and then you see the white semi
that’s right there and then the
red truck
so in the wedge between though
the white semi and the red
truck is apparently OK we’ve
got the sky for video right now
with his where this might have
all unfold and you see those
yellow marker there
right there. Apparently it’s
right in that in set where
this might have all unfolded.
It’s interesting too because
you’re looking at looks like
maybe someone is just climbed
into that red in the middle of
your screen.
>> That red truck that we were
talking about earlier
that semi that looked like
perhaps it could have been
involved just simply because it
is Park so strangely someone
certainly when parked on
purpose and that way and and
kind of walk away
and whether or not as you
mention that this shooting you
know happened really between
these 2 trucks.
It looks like we have seen a
number of people actually
walking law enforcement walking
there, you know training on
that
particular area. The driver of
that green truck on the left is
the one who talk to Ashley
saying I parked here I slept
in, you know, I’m not sure what
happened but certainly waking
up
to see you know something
significant is happening in as
we know one person has been
killed another 2 people wounded
among the wounded
was the trucker of presumably
who was involved in this who
