WINDER GEORGIA, ABOUT AN HOUR WINDER GEORGIA, ABOUT AN HOUR NORTHEAST OF THE ATLANTA. THE EARLY REPORTS WERE THAT ROUND 10:20 THIS MORNING, LAW ENFORCEMENT WERE SUMMONED TO THE SCHOOL ON WORD OF AN ACTIVE SHOOTING. WHAT WE COULD TELL YOU RIGHT NOW IS THAT TWO PEOPLE ARE CONFIRMED DEAD, AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE, AT LEAST FOUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED. WE WANT TO GO RIGHT NOW TO MORGAN CHESKY WHO HAS BEEN MONITORING THE SCENE THERE. MORGAN, WHAT MORE COULD YOU TELL US? >> YEAH, LESTER, THAT INFORMATION IS STILL PRELIMINARY BUT IT IS CONFIRMED AS OF THIS HOUR, AS A RESULT OF THE SHOOTING RESULTING AT 10 CHON 23 LOCAL TIME IN WINDER, GEORGIA, ABOUT 50 MILES NORTHEAST OF ATLANTA. THIS VIDEO IS FROM OUR AFFILIATE IN GEORGIA, AND YOU COULD SEE A MASSIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE IN AND AROUND THAT HIGH SCHOOL. THE ENTRANCES AN EXITS, YOU COULD SEE MULTIPLE OFFICERS LOCATED AND THEY ARE HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS THAT-V BEEN DIRECTED TO THAT FOOTBALL FIELD WHERE THE DISTRICT IS SAYING THEY WILL BE REUNITED WITH PARENTS SOON. WE ARE STILL AWAITING AN OFFICIAL UPDATE FROM AUTHORITIES THERE ON THE SCENE. WE DO KNOW ACCORDING TO THE FBI THAT THEIR ATLANTA OFFICE IS AWARE OF THE CURRENT SITUATION. AGENTS ARE ON SCENE SUPPORTING LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. OUR AFFILIATE THERE REPORTED ONE MEDICAL HELICOPTER TAKING SOMEONE AWAY FROM THAT SCENE. OF THAT NUMBER IMPACTED THAT YOU MENTIONED, LESTER, TWO CONFIRMED FATALITIES, FOUR CONFIRMED INJURED. I THINK IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO STRESS THAT THE GUNMAN IS IN CUSTODY AT THIS TIME. WE DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE ONE OF THOSE WHO ARE WOUNDED OR THE WEAPON THAT WAS USED, WE'RE ONLY HEARING REPORTS THAT GUNFIRE TOOK PLACE INSIDE OF THIS HIGH SCHOOL AROUND 10:23 LOCAL TIME AND INCREDIBLY DYNAMIC SITUATION THERE AS YOU COULD SEE, THE STUDENTS WAITING TO BE REUNITED WITH PARENTS. WE KNOW EMOTIONS ARE RUNNING HIGH. THAT IS WHY WE'RE SEEING SUCH A SIGNIFICANT PRESENCE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TO TRY TO MAKE THIS AS ORDERLY AS POSSIBLE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THIS, AGAIN, IS PRELIMINARY INFORMATION. WITH WE DO ANTICIPATE UPDATES WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. BRIAN KEMP WITHIN THE LAST FEW MINUTES HAS DIRECTED ALL NECESSARY STATE RESOURCES TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE AT THIS SCENE. AND WE ARE SEEING THE STUDENTS WALKING FROM THE SCHOOL TO THAT FOOTBALL FIELD. WE COULD ONLY IMAGINE THE CHAOS THAT WAS TAKING PLACE AROUND 10:23 LOCAL TIME WHEN THE REPORTS OF THAT GUNFIRE INITIALLY CAME IN. LESTER, THIS IS A COMMUNITY OF ONLY ABOUT 19,000 PEOPLE AND IN WINDER, GEORGIA, AND AT LAST CHECK THE ENROLLMENT OF THIS HIGH SCHOOL IS 1800. THERE ARE NO STRANGERS AT THIS SCHOOL. PEOPLE KNOW EVERYONE THERE. AND I THINK THAT IS ONLY CONTRIBUTING TO THE UNCERTAINTY AND THE FRUSTRATION AS WE AWAIT FOR MORE OFFICIAL UPDATES FROM AUTHORITIES THAT WE AGAIN DO ANTICIPATE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES HERE. >> LET ME QUICKLY BRING IN >> LET ME QUICKLY BRING IN CEDRIC ALEXANDER, FORMER PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR FOR DeKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA AND A SENIOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST. LET ME ASK YOU QUICKLY. IS THERE A SCHOOL IN GEORGIA THAT IS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS SORT OF TRAGEDY? >> WELL, THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY SCHOOL IN AMERICA THAT IS NOT PREPARED FOR THESE UNFORTUNATE TRAGEDIES THAT OCCUR, LESTER, AND THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE CASES THAT HAS OCCURRED IN THIS COUNTRY. AND IT CERTAINLY IS INDICATIVE OF AN ONGOING ISSUE AROUND CAMPUS SECURITY AND FURTHER GOES INTO ISSUES AROUND GUNS AS WELL. >> CEDRICK, THANKS VERY MUCH. WE CONTINUE TO WATCH THE PICTURES. WE'VE SEEN A HUGE POLICE PRESENCE AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE AND EARLIER WE SAW PARENTS, CAREGIVERS THERE TO PICK UP LOVED ONES, ONCE WORD WAS THAT THE SCHOOL WAS DEEMED SAFE. AND AGAIN, THE SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY BUT THE EARLY REPORTS, TWO AT LEAST TWO DEAD AND WE'LL
