there are four employees critically hurt and to employees that are dead. joining me now is one of the

contractors at a walthe rock quarry. what can you tell us as far as the terrain and how the operation is up there? new speaker is the incident did take place at the safety meeting, that would have been in the quarry office which is above the quarry they usually have a safety meeting at 4:00 a.m.. it is monday, i doubt that vehicular travel is possible at this point. i have been trying to get a hold of a supervisor, i have not been able to. that is not necessarily concern because so phones are hit and miss in the quarry. news. maybe the employees there could be hunkered down

someplace, anyplace that does not have so phones. >> correct. most of the communication is done with motorola radio is because they are reliable. >> we are hearing that the employee came in with an assault rifle and handgun and opened fire. when was the last time you were there? did you hear any rumblings or disgruntled employees that could have led to this or forced out of this to happen? >> i did not. i am in the office quite often during the day at because i have to verify what i am doing in the plant. i did not hear that. >> this employee, if it did happen, people are sitting down at their desks having meetings and sitting on coffee. all of a sudden, a massacre. >> there is a big break room where everyone joined together for safety meetings. there is a blackboard and they go over details. i would imagine that is where it happened. >> well, can you ask him,

are these truck drivers or men and women? >> can you talk about the employees? are these truck drivers or people work at the core rate? can you give us a little more detail about the employees at the rock quarry? >> most of the employees run big heavy trucks in the big losers. they run a rock crushing operations. it is basically have the mining. >> there was no tension. >> we have looked on the google earth, it is a huge, vast area. if they gunmen were to go in and opened fire on these people in this office and take off, i am assuming that this guy can vouch for how easy it would be whiff no cell phones, for

him to get away and hide and of a chapter for a while. >> that is a great point, darya. brad, can you talk about the lay of the land, says this is remote. worst- case scenario, if the gunman is still in there, how could he or she get out and if they did, are there places, because it is so remote, pockets where this person could hide making it difficult or dangerous for authorities to make a captor customer the quarry is brush areas where trees and heavy brush. you could hide out. >> hopefully it will make a captured very soon. i'm still trying to confirm that. darya i just heard a woman gasping, maybe she heard some are reading news from a family member, as soon as i get more information, the public information officer is still buried in the canyon trying to get more information as well. we are hearing from unconfirmed sources that employees have been working

the phones trying to find out. they are huddled at this gas station which has basically turned into the command center for the media and employees. unconfirmed reports that may be as many as nine people were shot. as soon as i find out more information i will be sure to pass along. >> we are hearing how remote this is the and the fact that there is no cell phone service and the usually use radios to communicate has to make this difficult for police. >> the permanent take quarried located in this canyon off of stevens creek. it is stevens creek and foothill were the police command center is set up at this intersection. it is up the canyon where stevens creek turns into permanent a road. that is where the core rate is

it is a massive facility. the search continues. word is the gunman is still on the loose. an assault rifle and handgun. a difficult search operation taking place right now. and there are large buildings on the property as police continue to hunt for the killer.

element. family members are rushing to the scene. you can see a dark green as you become a woman is driving. she showed up with tears in her eyes and could barely breathe from crying so much. she told us that she is trying desperately to get a hold of her father. her father works at the quarry. we spoke with an employee 10 minutes ago who says that yes, there are pockets where you get no cell phone coverage. maybe there is good news there, that the employees are in a safe area that has no self long reception, however, she said that whenever there is no cell phone reception, whenever she calls her dad and there is no sulfone reception a ghost is voice mail. instead, his phone continues to reign over and over. he is in an area where there is a reception but he is not picking

area a couple of minutes ago. it is still an active scene. the other area is homestead, a short distance from this location. you can see a truck finally leaving this area, it has been under lockdown as far as this intersection goes, for probably the last three-four hours. there seems to be some wiggle room. i have some bad news, if this is any indication, we saw an ambulance rushed into the core rate, at last check with her from a public information officer that eight people were shot. two people possibly it's as possible because the coroner's office has a sign off. eight people all together, possibly more. the quarry is so big, they have to go through there to see if there are any survivors. maybe over the past three minutes or so, an ambulance went through the barricade and rushed up to the quarry, perhaps they found another

injured person or deceased person. in the meantime, you can see family members, that green card,-car, she is a family member trying desperately to get a hold of her loved one. so far, she says her father is not picking up the phone. we did speak with an employee who says there are pockets where there is no cell phone coverage. there could be some good news and that, perhaps her father is still alive and she said normally if he is in a pocket where there is no cell phone coverage goes directly to voice mail but instead his phone continues to ring. no one is picking up. i will try to get more information on this acted manhunt. we do not know if the person at homestead has been arrested. we do know that the police department received a couple of phone calls of the person matching the description of the shooter at the rock quarry and going with the description of an african- american in his '40's fleeing the scene in a dark colored car. apparently the
