the med day being affected about events in the community. rarely do we keep the media informed about one of your homes. we want to thank fox 45 for their proactive efforts to help us evacuate the building. that saved us a lot of time. you guys are to be commended for your active role in this effort. so, i will turn it over to director tj smith. as we said earlier, we learned several things since we briefed you last. chances are, we will brief again tomorrow as we continue to learn more things about the suspect. so, just bear with us as we make our way through the information. but it's important, obviously i'm preaching to the choir, to get you information timely yet accurate. that's what we want to be, timely and accurate. i will turn it over to director smith then take questions. >> all right. let's go back to thbe

45 on 41st avenue in the -- 41st street. this is in the area where multiple television stations are, on the main road facing 31st street. at 120 a person in the lobby with a type of device. we had a call for a car fire in front of the location. we were quickly able to determine that that car was intentionally set on fire. our bomb squad, arson squad, baltimore police department were dispatched. we were quickly able to learn that the person had essentially barricaded himself inside fox 45 news station. so, our s.w.a.t. team and negotiators were dispatched to the scene. so, all of this is going on around 1:30 this afternoon. while officers were arriving, the fox 45 staff were evacuating the rest of their employees from the facility. the security person that called it in is

fox 45 but he was able to escape after talking to the suspect for several minutes as the situation was evolving. apparently the suspect brought in a device, we believe a flash drive and wanted fox 45 to air something on the news. what is it he wanted them to air is something that we are still investigating. we don't know the full answers to that right now. the suspect had on some sort of outfit. it's being described basically as a panda outfit onesie type outfit that was a panda. the suspect is a 25-year-old white male. not from baltimore. we believe he is from howard county, maryland. we are still following up on this investigation as we speak. i'm not positively identifying him at this point because we have yet to charge the suspect. he is at a local hospital receiving treatment. let me go back to

wrapped around him. he had on some type of surgical mask, some type of coat on underneath the outfit and there was this red device that is being described like maybe a red flotation type device with devices in it that looked like explosives. what we have been able to find out is those devices were actually chocolate candy bars wrapped in aluminum foil with wiring connecting each of them. there was a small mother board and that mother board has been described as something that you might see in a fire extinguisher that was attached to this contraption and the wire was also running down the sleeve of his jacket into his hand basically emulating some type of detonation type device. so, it does not appear that this was a device capable of actual explosives but the appearance

explosive type device. the suspect was inside of the vestibule area. s.w.a.t. team and police officers were outside. attempting communication with the suspect. the suspect came out of the building, started to walk in advance across the street to where officers were staged and officers were forced to fire upon him. we know at this point that three officers fired and struck the suspect. the suspect was shot more than one time, maybe three times, the number can change. the suspect is listed in serious but stable condition at a local hospital here in baltimore. why did this happen? why did he wear a replica bomb today, we don't know. we are still investigating this. they used a robot to disarm him, to take the clothing off him, to take the device off him in order to move in to provide treatment to him. once they were able to

they were able to closely examine the device and see what it actually was. we are still in the process of clearing the fox 45 building. we were able to account for everyone. but, of course, public safety is the most important thing at this point in time. so, as it stands, that's where we are. the suspect is expected to survive. we will work with the state attorney's office and federal partners as we move through with charging. this will take more than the time i'm standing here and it will take more than a couple of days to determine everything that went on here. with that, let's ask some questions. >> do you know anything about this guy's history? i know you are not publicly identifying him? do you know anything about his background. >> we do not have any information on his background. >> the latest out of baltimore and the incident where a suspect walked in to the x

dressed in what is being described as a panda onesie with something being made to look like a bomb, handed a flash drive to the security guard and had information to get on tv. the authorities were called in. he was shot and put down before they figured out it wasn't an explosive device at all but meant to look like one. >> that's it for that. we will continue to follow it and bring you the latest information as we get it in. moving on, new questions and answers about the death of a disabled man in fairfax county police custody. >> peggy fox reports an advocacy organization is hoping the tragedy leads to changes. >> reporter: paul gianolos was profoundly autistic. he was on an outing at roundtree park with an organization caring for him, st. johns community service. when the group leader realized

you know who he is. >> reporter: she says the officers should have been given information about gianelos before they arrived and a project lifesaver bracelet could have helped locate him in the first place. peggy fox, wusa 9. >> the names of the four officers involved have been released. they are all on administrative leave while the investigation continues. with the nfl draft hours away, one university of maryland defensive back is capturing plenty of attention. >> shawn davis is a stand out on the field and devoted team player when it comes to his family, faith and hard work. jan jeffcoat joins us with a local players uphill journey. >> reporter: what a journey. he is the pride of prince george county and it's easy to see why dozen of league coaches he met with think he is college park's best kept secret. >> you set a goal
