1
Authorities now responding to the scene of a reported active shooter at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
2
That's in the Claremont Mesa area.
3
These are live images showing the officers on the ground, guns drawn.
4
They're escorting children out of that center.
5
Dozens of people running out at times,
6
trying to get more information.
7
Our Alex Stone is on the story out of L.A for us.
8
What do we know, Alex?
9
Well, Carrie, I've been talking to a number of police officers in San Diego who we talked to quite a bit,
10
And they are very busy right now with their police radios that have been going off in the backgrounds.
11
They've just said, Alex, this is the real deal.
12
And they hung up from there.
13
But you can see from these images right now.
14
And we don't know a lot.
15
They don't seem to know a lot.
16
Those almost look like children coming out arm in arm,
17
being brought out the way that police now do in an active shooter situation.
18
We know it is very active right now.
19
Governor Gavin Newsom has been advised as well.
20
But police are responding in right now, Kira.
21
We know the center has a school as well,
22
pre-K through third grade, which makes sense as we're watching police there leading the children across the street to a safe area.
23
We can see one of the women that was inside the mosque there being led by San Diego police officers.
24
Channel 10, the ABC station in San Diego,
25
is reporting that there is at least one person reported dead in this incident.
26
Alex, I don't know what you're hearing and what you've been able to get from your side.
27
things but apparently this is still ongoing
28
and there are no reports yet according to our ABC station in San Diego
29
that they have apra apprehended anybody at this time no we don't know
30
if they've apprehended anybody
31
and it's sometimes hard to know in San Diego like a
32
lot of police departments around the country right now care
33
that they have encrypted their radios
34
so not like an old times where you can just listen to scanner traffic
35
and know what's going on you can see right here these are Bearcat vehicles they are armored vehicles
36
that that are brought in to try to do extraction
37
or try to go into a suspect if they believe that there is somebody armed in there.
38
We don't know if the armed individual is still in there
39
or if they believe that the person is alive or dead or where the shooting actually occurred.
40
But you've seen from these images a lot of police.
41
They are moving in right now,
42
a lot of activity ongoing.
43
If you can excuse me for one minute,
44
I have a source calling me right now,
45
and I'll come right back to you, Kira.
46
No problem.
47
Go ahead.
48
Yeah, get that call.
49
If you're just tuning in right now,
50
if we can get back to those pictures,
51
were following an active shooter situation at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
52
This is where I grew up,
53
and it's in the Claremont Mesa area,
54
which is just off the 805 freeway.
55
I'm not familiar with this mosque there in San Diego County,
56
but I am seeing that there is a school that is tied to it,
57
pre-K through third grade, which would explain why the police were escorting,
58
as you saw hand in hand,
59
those young kids from outside the mosque and across the street to a safe place.
60
Right now, we don't know if indeed the police have apprehended the shooter or shooters.
61
We can't even confirm the number number of of armed individuals
62
at this time we just we are just able to confirm
63
that it is an active shooter situation
64
and we've been watching pictures of officers with guns drawn
65
and we're at tape pictures right now just to be respectful of the what we're seeing via the helicopter
66
because we saw some pretty disturbing images
67
and we're trying to be careful with what we show you and what we report in live coverage here.
68
Alex, what did your source tell you?
69
Yeah, so just getting off the phone,
70
Kira, another law enforcement official who they are saying
71
that they are actively responding in right now and they don't know a lot.
72
But what we understand is they are going through the building right now.
73
My question to him was,
74
well, do you have victims?
75
And he said, we don't know yet.
76
Do you have a suspect?
77
We don't know yet.
78
But they are actively going through and clearing the building right now.
79
The ATF, other federal agents are arriving as well.
80
So it seems like this is so early at the moment that even they don't know exactly what they've got.
81
As you see the live images there as they've been moving through,
82
but they're actively working it right now.

Why practice speaking with this video?

This video captures a real-time event involving an active shooter at the Islamic Center of San Diego. Engaging with such content allows learners to practice speaking in an authentic context. It offers a unique opportunity to improve English pronunciation and fluency through the emotional weight and urgency present in the dialogue. By discussing serious events like this, learners can gain confidence in their speaking abilities while also being informed about current affairs. Utilizing the shadow speak method, you can mimic the speaker's tone and expression, which enhances your understanding of how to convey emotions effectively in English.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

In this transcript, several key phrases and grammatical structures are prominent, providing valuable context for learners:

  • “There is/are”: Used to denote existence. For instance, “There is at least one person reported dead…” This structure is crucial for providing information and context.
  • “We know that”: A phrase that conveys certainty. It illustrates how to assert knowledge while discussing events or updates in a news report.
  • “Police are responding”: The continuous tense used here emphasizes actions that are currently in progress, which is critical for discussing ongoing situations in a timely manner.
  • “It makes sense as we’re watching”: This expression highlights reasoning and allows learners to connect observations with conclusions, which can be useful in various speaking scenarios.

Practicing these structures can significantly benefit your IELTS speaking practice, especially when articulating responses in a structured manner.

Common Pronunciation Traps

While shadowing the speaker, learners may encounter several tricky words and phrases. Here are some potential pronunciation challenges:

  • “Incident”: The stress often falls on the first syllable (IN-ci-dent), which learners may overlook.
  • “Authorities”: Pronation might lead to an incorrect syllable emphasis; it is pronounced as au-THOR-i-ties.
  • “Apprehended”: This word can be difficult due to its multi-syllabic nature. Practice emphasizing each syllable: ap-pre-HEN-ded.

By focusing on these pronunciation elements, English learners can greatly improve English pronunciation and ensure clearer communication. Incorporating videos like this into your study routine improves comprehension and fluency, allowing you to learn English with YouTube effectively.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
