CAPT. NANCY DEMME, MONTGOMERY COUNTY POLICE: The second call to our fire rescue that came out as perhaps someone had jumped from a building. And our preliminary indications are that the wounds are consistent with impact. And that the individual involved did indeed either jump or fall from one of the floors of that building. OK?

QUESTION: What's the building address?

DEMME: 3330 University Boulevard -- 3333 University Boulevard.

QUESTION: No indication the individual might have been on a balcony, shot, and then fallen?

DEMME: Not at this point. It appears to be -- it appears that the person either jumped or fell from one of the floors.

DEMME: Correct. And we are investigating that.

QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE)

DEMME: No, at this point, no indication at all that this is connected to what we are investigating. OK. Thank you.

WHITFIELD: All right. That's the latest briefing from Montgomery County, Maryland as they continue to investigate the shootings that have taken place there. Six now in all.
