CAPT. NANCY DEMME, MONTGOMERY COUNTY POLICE: The second call to our fire rescue that came out as perhaps someone had jumped from a building.

DEMME: 3330 University Boulevard -- 3333 University Boulevard.

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

DEMME: No, and it's not unusual for, depending on how far someone falls, for that sound on impact to be similar to the sound of a bang. All right?

QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE)

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.
