After hours without any news Thursday afternoon, police officers arrived at the reunification center.
Officers told families they would come inside one at a time and, depending on what they were told, they would be swabbed for DNA on the police clinic van parked adjacent to the community center building.
Some broke out into tears upon emerging from the room. A young woman wearing a long white blouse and jeans fainted before making it to the van.
