5:37 pm
the street in the short term preventing retaliation. but in short and long-term getting the guns off the street and making sure we have well staffed police department and that are violent. ruptured which have been deployed already almost immediately are out doing what they can to make sure that did not expand it. get worse. >> so so, dan, you did meet with the mayor and the assistant chief. any new information coming from them? was this a targeted shooting? do you know? >> there it's under investigation and they do not know that yet. they do. they do know there were multiple shooters more than one shooter or more than 2 shooters. they can that they know that and they have to they don't have information yet as to with shooters to how old they are. if they have some some eyewitnesses. but the information is still being gathered. and course, when you have an active investigation, the shooting, we want to be careful how much information to release to the public because that could hinder the
5:38 pm
investigation. so they're doing the best they they're out there back just just earlier this week, our police chief increased the number of officers respond to our investigations unit when it comes to violent crimes. so that's you to happen by that. happening. we make sure our investigations division is fully staffed on its way to that point. and you need to make sure that we have find more officers to investigations while also due the fire program and other programs that help reduce violence over time. >> well, certainly, and we want to make sure that we're giving the most accurate information out to people to who may have questions there was some confusion as to whether this the incident actually occurred on campus or in proximity to the campus. do you have any information on that? >> my understanding location is that the catholic that have multiple kind of cool on it as well as well open space. my understanding is that did happen us. the property, but i

5:40 pm
from criminal justice system or a long time ago were working members and they are on staff at late afternoon on profit that fell on to what shooting happened, including homicide. you find information and they what they can to get rick speed in potential retaliatory conflict. i can make sure that for the shooting that horrible. but it might be bad if allegation and like many people get shot and die because of that. and so they have had lot of sick staff in iraq. conflict started make sure that they don't let's stop stop it at the beginning and not let it continue on so more people don't get hurt. and so they've been deployed throughout. doing what they what they can that they're not going to solve all the problems that they do. the great job in reducing violence. and that's why they've been deployed almost immediately. and that's one of one of our violence prevention program provide it.
