& #39;We are in early stages of this,& #39; says Phelps. & #39;This was a very very serious act and we take it as such& #39;
Asked about cameras in garage, Phelps declines to offer details, but says & #39;it is part of what the FBI is looking at& #39;
Asked about who had access to garage, Phelps says & #39;a very small number of people are in footprint,& #39; list will be reviewed with FBI. & #39;We will be able to narrow that down& #39;....Says a breach of area would be & #39;significant, as area is limited to essential personnel& #39;
Asked about social-media comments saying the event has been staged, Phelps, says & #39;that is something that personally offends me. This is a terrible, terrible act that has happened& #39;
