Oh, I see - they’re trying to be “vague” about where the SWAT officers are in the building right now, because of the possibility of TVs inside.
There is a “safe side” of the building, where the cops outside don’t look too worried hanging out there.
Even tho all the JSC employees have been told to go home now, the building where they are running the mission for the ISS guys coming back to Russia tomorrow *is* on lockdown. And there are several backups for that, if something were to happen there.
(They’re acting like it’s not Mission Control, for some reason - but I don’t know what else it would be.)
HPD has allowed media to come inside the police lines now - and there will be a press conference shortly.
That is very interesting.
