We were so close but still he managed to get away.

I think it's important to realize that the union did not want this individual to become chief of police. Bernard C. Parks is a strict disciplinarian. He terminated over 100 officers in two years.

We have SWAT units at that location. We haven't verified that the carjacking was related to this crime (the Jewish Center shooting) but if it was, this could be a major break.

The Parks family is a very, very close family and they are grieving and supporting the mother who lost her child last night.

We do not believe she was the intended target. Perhaps she was at the wrong place at the wrong time. The suspect may have been going after her companion, who was in the vehicle, but was able to duck.

We're gravely concerned because of security reasons -- just the large number of individuals that this will bring out.
