YASNY Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 The FBI terrorism task force is now on the scene. Something's happening here. I just heard the phrase 'four ambulances' but no reports of anyone wounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that this isn't something to treat as a terrorist attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Someone has definitely taken out on a gurney. I just saw video of it. Whether or not this lady needed medical attention as a result of the fired shots is not known at this time. The lady appeared to be in pretty good shape as the gurney was raised into what I'd call a recliner position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
