in your apartment.
Not like the last time!
Son.
I'll tell you what.
I have the van crash
on Moorpark tonight.
It was a couple of
stringers, actually.
That could lead by itself
on an average night.
I'd be willing to
throw that in for free.
So what do you say,
do we have a deal'?
Lisa Mays,
Ben Waterman, Lou Bloom.
Hi.
Hello. How are you, Lisa?
You remember Lou from
Oh, yeah.
Amazing stuff.
That was my company,
Video Production News.
I would just like to say
that I think that what the two of
you do is incredibly valuable.
Thank you. That's
nice of you to say.
We appreciate it.
I don't know how long
this tape runs,
we might dump out.
Twenty seconds to back. Ben
and Lisa, 20 seconds to back.
Set up a sting dig,
Camera Two on a two-shot.
Where's the banner?
Did we decide on one?
Horror House.
What did we talk about?
Can you build that?
Put it on CG-one.
Back in 10 seconds.
Nine, eight, seven, six,
five, four, three,
two, one. Sting it.
Mics. Dissolve. Cue.
Hello, everybody. This is
KWLA with breaking news.
Over the last
half-hour or so,
we've now received word m' an apparent
in the Granada Hills area of the
San Fernando Valley.
Now, at present,
Preset Camera Two.
...have not been confirmed
yet by the police
but KWLA has obtained
exclusive footage
bodies can be observed.
Now, we're going to show you
segments of that footage
throughout the
rest of this broadcast,
but also
throughout the day.
Ben, Lisa, I have a tape. When
you're ready, throw to it.
I'll follow you.
Again, we're about to show
from inside
It's graphic. Repeat it.
And before broadcasting
this video,
we want to warn our viewers that
these are extremely graphic images.
And I'm hearing from our control
room that we have that video,
and we're going
to show it now.
This is footage that we have
obtained exclusively by K WLA
from Video Production News.
This is a professional
news-gathering service.
This is what appears
to be a shotgun,
something you might use
for home defense.
You can see
the pistol grips
on the front
and the back there.
Quite possibly
the murder weapon.
And now, Lisa, as we move inside,
this is a beautiful home.
A beautiful home in a
very safe neighborhood.
Or, what most people think
is a safe neighborhood.
It appears that
that is the first body.
A young woman, I'm
guessing, from this angle.
A young woman
on a sofa, there.
All of the faces, though,
have been blurred out.
They've escaped.
They're on the loose.
Thai is the first
of what we understand
home in Granada Hills.
And this was committed by
a suspect, or suspects
who are still out there.
They're believed
to have escaped.
And if you think about that, that
is a very frightening thought.
Repeat that.
Yes, scary,
and very concerning,
particularly given what
we're looking at here.
The savagery of what
these pictures show.
And now, look,
there on the floor.
Lisa, what is that? A
bloodied article of clothing?
R looks like
a silk shirt.
Maybe a woman's
silk blouse.
It's just so sad.
Stand by
to dissolve, Two.
And, obviously,
there is the second body.
They've escaped. Repeat
it' BEN:
The person or peoplewho committed all of this
brutal home invasion robbery,
they're presently unidentified and
at large, still on the streets.
Hit it again. Harder.
This has got to be
a huge worry
not only to the residents
in this neighborhood,
the Granada Hills
area as well.
All of Los Angeles,
Yeah, the entire South/and, really.
Tonight, absolutely.
An apparent family
attacked, savagely killed.
We believe this is
their own home.
In what is one of
the quieter,
I think a frankly more upscale
and affluent neighborhoods
in the whole Valley.
In all of Los Angeles.
And now, as we're
moving, this is a nursery.
And you hope to God...
Build it.
... that there's no!
a baby in that crib.
Yeah, you're just praying
that that crib is empty.
Because this is
definitely a child's room.
And, now, as we look, thank goodness.
Absolutely great.
In fact, our
understanding right now
is that there was no
baby found in the house.
Or any baby that
was seen at ail
by the people
who filmed this for us.
Thank goodness.
BEN". That's Video News,
this is a professional
news-gathering service that we use.
Apparently, what we're hearing
from their photographer
is that they arrived
And then entered
this home to help,
or at least offer
some son' of assistance
and then came upon what
you're hacking at here.
They came upon
three bodies.
third body on the oor.
This is a man, gray hair. What would
you think, Lisa? Maybe 40s, 50s'?
Yeah, 50s Maybe even 60s.
"Vicious attack)'
We've been looking
at all this graphic footage
and just the viciousness,
the severity of violence.
Master control, we're
going to come to a break.
We're going to commercial, then cutting
to Joel and a police statement.
I'm getting
word right now that police
are getting ready
to issue a statement
from the scene and Joel
Beatty is there for that.
Right now, we're going
in take a quick break.
Ready to break
in five, four...
Sneak in your music.
Three, two, one.
Fade to black.
Roll your break.
That's a 10-share.
I want theme music
on the return,
the cut we used for
the Simi rail crash.
Audio, cut 32, please.
Cut 32 when we come back.
Hello?
Rolling
with your banner.
Thank you.
Actually,
he'd like to meet you.
Come back,
One, and key on Ben.
Hey, heads up, you guys.
The police spokesman
is making an announcement in 60 seconds.
I gotta go.
Nina, we are getting
a ion o? heat
from the police out here
about that video.
Tell them to
call the station.
Fifteen seconds.
They want to talk to the
person who shot it. I shot it.
Joel,
it's Video Production News.
Tell them to call me.
Lou, they can't hear you.
Coming back in five,
four, three, two, one.
Fade up.
We have more information
coming in from the Granada Hills area
and the scene of
an apparent home invasion
that has left
a husband and wife
and their housekeeper.
What we know at
the moment is that
at some time around
5:
00 this morning,gunmen broke into
this upscale...
Residents are disturbed and concerned
by the brutal triple murder...
The way we got it, though,
is a video production crew
that we work with
from time to time.
They, apparently,
arrived on the scene
the police got there.
Before anybody.
The photographer
who took those pictures
told us earlier that
he walked up to the door,
he saw what we all saw
in his videotape.
And men he started to look
inside, so that he could help
or render assistance
