High school shooting in Georgia, reports of injuries, 1 in custody

>>> WE CONTINUE TOGETHER NEW INFORMATION FROM THIS BREAKING NEWS EVENT. AS POLICE RESPOND TO A SCHOOL SHOOTING AT A HIGH SCHOOL IN WINDER, GEORGIA. >> POLICE SAY A SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY AND THAT THERE ARE CASUALTIES. THE NUMBER, WE DO NOT KNOW. THERE ARE ALSO REPORTS THAT A TEACHER MAY HAVE BEEN SHOT AT APPLE ICHI -- APALACHEE HIGH SCHOOL. CBS NEWS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY THIS INFORMATION ABOUT A TEACHER THOUGH. >> VIDEO WE'VE BEEN WATCHING FROM THE SCHOOL SHOWS EMERGENCY CREWS ARRIVING. JARED EGGLESTON MENTIONED HE SAW DOZENS OF AMBULANCES ON THE HIGHWAY. STUDENTS HAVE BEEN TOLD TOGETHER AT THE FOOTBALL FIELD WHERE IT HAS BEEN SECURED. KATHY GUIDER JOINS US NOW. SHE IS FAMILIAR WITH INCIDENTS LIKE THIS WHEN INFORMATION IS SCARCE. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT CONSIDERING ONE SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY AND THERE MAY BE SOME CASUALTIES AND PARENTS STILL NEED TO RECONNECT WITH THEIR KIDS. >> LAW ENFORCEMENT'S PRIORITY RIGHT NOW WILL BE INTERVIEWING THAT ONE SUSPECT. AND THEY WILL TRY TO GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS THEY CAN REGARDING THE MOTIVE AND THE PLANNING WHILE OTHER PERSONNEL WILL BE WORKING WITH THE PARENTS AND STUDENTS. THERE WILL BE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TRACKS BEING WORKED HERE BY DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE. >> WE WANT TO BRING IN ANNA SCHECTER. BUT DON'T GO ANYWHERE, WE MAY HAVE MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU. ANNA IS THE COORDINATING PRODUCER FOR THE CBS NEWS CRIME AND PUBLIC SAFETY UNIT. YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH CASES LIKE THIS, YOU ARE ALSO A MOM AS WELL. WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT AND TRYING TO ASSESS WHAT IS HAPPENING DURING A SITUATION LIKE THIS, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? >> WE ARE RIGHT AT THE START OF SCHOOL, RIGHT AFTER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THIS SADLY FOLLOWS TRENDS WHERE WE HAVE SEEN SCHOOL SHOOTINGS AROUND THE TIME OF HOLIDAYS AND THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. AND IT HAS BECOME SO COMMON THAT WE HAVE TRACKED SCHOOL SHOOTINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THEY HAPPEN NOT JUST INSIDE THE SCHOOL, THAT IS HOW WE COUNT THE NUMBER OF SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, BUT THERE IS A HUGE NUMBER THAT HAPPEN IN THE PARKING LOT. THEY STILL HAPPEN AT THE SCHOOL BUT ARE NOT ALWAYS COUNTED AS A SCHOOL SHOOTING. WE TALK ABOUT SECURING THE SCHOOL BUILDING AND YET ANY SHOOTINGS OCCUR JUST OUTSIDE OF THE WALLS OF THE SCHOOL. I'M LOOKING FOR EXACTLY WHERE THIS HAPPENED, WHAT KIND OF SECURITY PLAN THE SCHOOL HAD IN PLACE AND OF COURSE THE NUMBERS WE ARE WATCHING. THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT PUT OUT A STATEMENT. I GOT AN EMAIL, IT STILL SAID CASUALTIES BUT THEY ARE NOT CONFIRMING REPORTED NUMBERS OUT THERE, THE NUMBER OF DEAD OR INJURED. WE DO NOT HAVE THAT NUMBER AT THIS TIME. WE ARE HOLDING THAT. BUT THERE ARE MULTIPLE AGENCIES ON THE SCENE AND MULTIPLE OFFICERS, AS YOU SAW, ALL RESPONDING TO THIS. THE CALL WAS MADE AT 10:23 THIS MORNING, SO WE ARE A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER THAT AND EVERYTHING IS MOVING VERY QUICKLY. >> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STRIKES ME AS YOU SPEAK ABOUT THE RISK TO STUDENTS, NOT JUST ON CAMPUS BUT NEAR CAMPUS, YOU HAVE A TYPE OF OPEN CAMPUS WHERE EACH BUILDING MAY NOT BE CONNECTED BY HALLWAYS BUT YOU WILL GO FROM BUILDING TO BUILDING. YOU CAN SEE THE FOOTBALL FIELD WHICH OF COURSE IS WIDE OPEN BUT ON A CAMPUS WITH 1900 STUDENTS THAT MIGHT BE AN OPEN CAMPUS, HOW DO OFFICIALS SECURE SUCH A MASSIVE SPACE AND SO MANY PEOPLE? I IMAGINE IT IS EFFECTIVELY IMPOSSIBLE TO PROTECT AGAINST EVERY THREAT. >> IT IS A HUGE CHALLENGE AND WITH EVERY SCHOOL WE SEE DIFFERENT TACTICS USE SO WE ARE ALMOST PLAYING A GAME OF WHACK A MOLE. AS SOON AS ONE IS SHOOTING HAPPENS WE TRY TO IMPLEMENT PROCEDURES, MEDAL DETECTORS, FOR EXAMPLE , TO PREVENT THE SHOOTER FROM BRINGING A WEAPON INSIDE. BUT IN AN OPEN SETTING WE SOUGHT DRONE FOOTAGE WHERE STUDENTS ARE WALKING TO THE FOOTBALL FIELD AND THE STANDS. THE SCHOOL IS NOT JUST INSIDE THE WALLS OF A CLASSROOM. THERE ARE MULTIPLE TARGETS. IT IS SO SHOCKING AND UPSETTING RIGHT AT THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. WE ARE SITTING HERE IN NEW YORK CITY AND TOMORROW IS THE FIRST DAY IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. MY KIDS HAD THEIR FIRST DAY TODAY AND THIS IS HAPPENING AND UNFORTUNATELY IT IS JUST COMMONPLACE IN OUR COUNTRY. >> EVEN THOUGH THESE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN IN SCHOOL FOR A WHILE, THIS IS STILL THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. AND THIS IS UNFORTUNATELY HOW WE ARE STARTING IT. AS ANNA WAS TALKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS SHE IS ASSESSING AT THIS MOMENT, I'M THINKING ABOUT THE REPORTS WE STILL HAVE NOT SUBSTANTIATED YET, BUT THAT MAY BE A TEACHER WAS SHOT. GIVEN YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE FBI AS A SPECIAL AGENT, WHAT MIGHT THAT TELL YOU ABOUT POTENTIAL MOTIVES OR WHAT MIGHT HAVE TRANSPIRED INSIDE THE SCHOOL? >> LIKELY, AND THIS IS PURE SPECULATION, THAT A TEACHER, AN ADULT TRIED TO INTERVENE, STEP IN, TRY TO STOP THE SHOOTER. THAT THEY TOOK SOME TYPE OF ACTION TO PREVENT AND PROTECT OTHER STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM OR IN A HALLWAY. >> TOO MUCH TO ASK OF A TEACHER. UNFORTUNATELY WE DO KNOW THAT THAT HEROIC STORY IS ONE THAT HAS PLAYED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE. WE ALSO HAVE WITH US BRIAN HIGGINS, A FORMER POLICE CHIEF. YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED THE LAW ENFORCEMENT ASPECT ON THE GROUND, THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES, HOW ARE THEY INTERACTING NOW AS THIS HAS BECOME SOMETHING THAT IS GETTING NATIONAL ATTENTION AND THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF IS PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT HAPPENED IN GEORGIA. >> WE SAW FROM THE INITIAL OUTSET OF THIS INCIDENT THAT MULTIPLE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES RESPONDED. THEY WORK TOGETHER SEAMLESSLY TO GO INTO THE SCHOOL AND WE SEE THAT AT LEAST ONE SUSPECT WAS ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY OR VERY SHORTLY AFTER POLICE RESPONDED. THEN THEY BEGAN TO WORK THROUGH THE SCHOOL TO FIND VICTIMS AND BRING STUDENTS OUT AND GET THEM REUNIFIED WITH THEIR PARENTS. THAT WILL CONTINUE. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO SEARCH THE SCHOOL TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO OTHER VICTIMS OR SHOOTERS AND THEY WILL WORK TOGETHER IN AN INVESTIGATION. INVESTIGATING THE SHOOTER, ANY CONTACT THIS INDIVIDUAL WILL HAVE WITH OTHERS, HOW THE WEAPONS WERE REQUIRED AND WHAT THE MOTIVATION MAY BE FOR THE SHOOTING. >> ONE THING YOU SHARED WITH US A SHORT TIME AGO IS THAT YOU HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR SON ABOUT WHAT TO DO IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS. JARED EGGLESTON WAS SHARING THAT SOME PARENTS LEFT THEIR CARS ON THE ROAD AND WALKED TO THE CAMPUS TO REUNITE WITH THEIR KIDS. I'M WONDERING FOR YOU, ALSO AS A PARENT, I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD YOUR KIDS ARE BUT I IMAGINE AS A PARENT, YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION OF WHEN YOU HAVE THIS CONVERSATION ON WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A SCHOOL SHOOTING INCIDENT. HAVE YOU HAD THAT CONVERSATION, AND IF NOT, WHEN WOULD YOU? >> I THINK WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS IN AN AGE-APPROPRIATE WAY, WHICH IS VERY CHALLENGING. YOU CAN START TALKING TO YOUR KIDS AT A YOUNGER AGE. THERE IS RESEARCH ABOUT HOW TO DO THAT AND I'M NOT QUALIFIED TO GIVE ADVICE ABOUT THAT. BUT YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THE AGE OF THE KIDS. BUT AT THIS POINT, CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE, AND EXPERTS AND OFFICIALS HAVE SAID THAT THERE SHOULD BE AN ACTION PLAN. RUNNING FIRST, THEY ACTUALLY CHANGED THE GUIDANCE THEY ARE GIVING KIDS. INSTEAD OF HIDING, WE SAW THAT IN UVALDE WITH THE KIDS BEING HOLED UP IN CLASSROOMS, SOMETIMES SITTING DUCKS, THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR GUIDANCE. YOU WANT TO RUN FIRST, GET AWAY FROM THE SITUATION. THAT IS THE LATEST GUIDANCE LAW ENFORCEMENT GIVES, WHICH IS A CHANGE FROM YEARS PAST BASED ON WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN MULTIPLE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. THAT IS IMPORTANT. RUN, HIDE AND THEN FIGHT. >> JARRING THAT THAT WOULD NOW HAVE TO BE STANDARD EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WILL NEED TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF CONVERSATION. KATHY GUIDER, I THINK YOU MAY STILL BE WITH US ON THE PHONE, IF YOU ARE, WHAT IS THE GUIDANCE ON THIS ADVICE? WHAT SHOULD PARENTS BE TELLING THEIR KIDS TO DO IF THERE IS A SHOOTING ON CAMPUS? >> THAT IS TRICKY AND DEFINITELY YOU WANT TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION GIVEN BY YOUR CLASSROOM INSTRUCTOR OR YOUR PRINCIPAL. WHEREAS ONE OF YOUR OTHER GUESTS SAID, IF THEY ARE IN THE HALLWAY OR COMING OUT OF THE BATHROOM AND THEY ARE NOT WITH AN ADULT, A TEACHER OR EDUCATOR, THEN THEY NEED TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION. I HAVE SAID THE SAME THING TO MY CHILD, GET AWAY FROM THE THREAT. REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE THREAT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THAT KIND OF THING IS WHAT WE WANT TO TELL OUR CHILDREN. BUT IF YOU ARE INSIDE A CLASSROOM OR WITH A TEACHER, YOU NEED TO GO WITH WHAT THAT ADULT IS TELLING THEM AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME. >> THAT IS A VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL. IF THE STUDENT IS SOMEHOW BY THEMSELVES AND AN INCIDENT GOES DOWN WHEN THEY ARE ALONE, THE GUIDANCE IS, GET TO SAFETY, DO NOT BE A SITTING DUCK. IF THERE IS NO TEACHER AROUND OR OFFICIAL GUIDANCE, GET OUT. >> CORRECT. OR GET TO A SAFE SPOT. LET'S SAY THERE IS A JANITORS CLOSET AND YOU CAN GET IN THERE AND LOCK THE DOOR, THAT MIGHT BE YOUR BEST SAFE SPOT. IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU HAVE THE ACCESS AND ABILITY PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY TO GET YOURSELF OUT, THAT MAY BE THE BETTER OPTION. >> RUN, HIDE AND FIGHT. UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE ARE THE GUIDANCE, THAT IS THE UPDATED GUIDANCE WE HAVE FOR OUR CHILDREN NOW AS WE ARE STARTING A NEW SCHOOL YEAR WITH THIS UNFORTUNATE NEWS. A SCHOOL SHOOTING AT APALACHEE HIGH SCHOOL IN WINDER, GEORGIA. SCANT DETAILS ABOUT THE NUMBER OF CASUALTIES ALTHOUGH WE DO KNOW THAT POLICE SAY THERE IS AT LEAST ONE SUBJECT IN CUSTODY. WE ARE STILL GATHERING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WILL BRING YOU THAT AS WE HAVE IT. >> ONE SUSPECT IN CUSTODY, CASUALTIES REPORTED. THE PRESIDENT IS AWARE OF THIS AND WATCHING AND THE FBI IS ON SCENE PROVIDING RESOURCES AND DETAILS. WE'VE WATCHED FAMILIES ANXIOUSLY TRY TO REUNITE WITH THEIR LOVED ONES. YOU ARE SEEING FOOTAGE HERE,
