| 0:00.0 | Hi there. Welcome to Meet the Press now. I'm Ryan Nobles in Washington, but we're going to begin |
| 0:06.3 | this hour with breaking news, reports of a shooting at a mosque in San Diego. These are live pictures |
| 0:12.5 | of the scene at the Islamic Center of San Diego in the Claremont area of the city. We are still |
| 0:18.0 | gathering details about what's unfolding, but police describe this as an active |
| 0:22.3 | scene that is contained. Police believe there is at least one shooter, no confirmed details as to |

| 1:40.0 | Telemundo 20 also going live with this information. |
| 1:52.3 | As you're just seeing sort of the managed chaos unfold, it did seem that this was very tactical, very swift response, according to all that we know, a lot of stationary |
| 1:59.8 | vehicles there right now, because all of these squad cars descended on the |
| 2:04.4 | mosque in Claremont just about an hour ago now. |
| 2:08.8 | And I think some of the most concerning scenes, just the children going hand in hand outside, |
| 2:17.0 | being led outside by staff members or teachers |
