All of this starting about 10:30 this morning when at least one gunman all the reports say there are more. Broke into the American civic association. Described as an immigration services center and started opening fire. We should emphasize that does this story has continued to unfold this afternoon LaTroy is that there is.

Another 26 wounded in -- shooting rampage inside this. Civic association building that cater to immigrants according to federal and state authorities. That's -- you look at these authorities right now."

" BC news just reporting that the gunman has shot and killed himself this may be over but we have no additional confirmation of that. Sixteen minutes after two ABC news reporting that the gunman has taken his own life. There were also earlier reports of people being removed from the building. Again restraints those. Plastic cuffs no confirmation of that. Numbers as we've noted LaToya have been all over the place AP a few minutes ago reporting at least six people wounded as many as 41 hostage and that's."

" So that the American civics civic association downtown Binghamton. Again it could just to the immigrant population. And the suspect was described as an Asian male in his twenties between five foot eight and six feet tall wearing a bright green nylon jacket. Dark rimmed glasses according to. ABC news they showed that -- gunman -- just caught up to the rear door of the building to block any escape before he went to the front of the building. And started to execute people and then there's talk about. The weapons now -- police officials say two weapons have been found.

" And again to illustrate just how. Odds some of this information has been throughout today mayor Matthew Ryan told the Binghamton press and so on both in the newspaper down. But there was a hostage situation involving the gunman with a high powered rifle. These are these satellite pictures of a front street and the civic association the building were all of this has been unfolding since about 1030 this afternoon.

" Exactly talent but after hearing these government officials are coming down will be speaking with a very very shortly I was -- the -- to show you over here there's still some people that are standing by in this area. All this gentleman over here at its. At about 10:30 this morning. Watching the events as they unfolded and -- see this.

There are no further arrests the hostages have been -- the situation is coming to a close were also very conservative as many people have been coming up to me and asked me. -- what is happening like this guy do that that they commit suicide. What's been going on but -- right now two gentlemen are in costly both we believe all the Asian descent as it was a little earlier. Professor of Vietnamese speaking professor was -- it possibly to communicate with these individuals but for much the American civic association -- a place -- immigrants typically go. Handle immigration type issues and now we have been uncovered many events over at its day in the past there have been very civil there have been no. Problems -- no reports of weapons there in the past as far as we can tell. And it might have reporting here in Binghamton. But obviously whose president is going to let up just a little bit the spectators are starting now though there are still very there still are done quite a few people standing around trying to figure out -- what is going I have went back many of them actually enter into their apartment to get paid -- evacuated many of our buildings in the surrounding areas Bonita businesses to -- that everybody was safe so hopefully these people will be going back to their apartments very shortly.

Broke into the building with depending on whose report is accurate either -- high powered rifles or handguns. And started shooting. People reportedly took. Shelter wherever they could in closets and unoccupied rooms and so on. But not entirely clear at this point what happened inside that building. Mayor Matthew Ryan is supposed to meet with reporters about 3 o'clock this afternoon. If this was in fact end -- NBC news has reported the gunman taking his own life we could perhaps reform of social sooner than that."
