Spencer reports there is still no confirmation the "active shooter" situation has been resolved and there is still a large police presence in the hospital. Residents are still being encouraged to shelter in place and avoid the earea.

this is the same area that saw brand new officer Ashley Guindon killed her first day of active duty as well as two other officers shot during a routine domestic call.

How horrible for the community.

She was with the Prince William County Police in VA

Police cruiser just taken away on a flatbed from the hospital. @wusa9

(Evidence...his injuries were so severe they immediately put him in the car and drove him to the hospital per earlier reporting)

The scene at Prince George's Hospital Center. One man brought in a flag after another left weeping. @wusa9

No, it doesn't sound good at all for the police officer. I'm praying he will recover and the other officers will be kept safe.

Over one hundred police being escorted down a hallway at the hospital

Man seen crying loudly escorted out of the hospital by police. Very sad scene here. Palpable sadness.


Van Applegate ‏@VBagate 14m14 minutes ago
The latest, we are at the hospital. Media staged outside. Lots of police inside. Still waiting for word from them. Updates when I can.


Van Applegate ‏@VBagate 12m12 minutes ago
Seen several police embracing each other. One man loudly crying outside. Unclear if he was police, regardless, raw emotions.


Van Applegate ‏@VBagate 11m11 minutes ago
It feels like every police officer in the county has passed through the hospital doors. Literally hundreds seen coming/going. Powerful.
