Police were closing off a street about four miles from the shooting scene and clearing nearby businesses while awaiting a bomb squad and the highly specialized emergency services unit.
The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Officers around the city had been told that if they spotted the U-Haul truck, they should stop it and detain all occupants immediately.
