Interference should be called immediately. I personally believe it should be called only by the umpire that is responsible for that call. (An umpire out of position possibly might see something that from wherever they are looks like something is it not.) I think you will find many that feel differently about this.
In this case, I don't believe it is the PU's call.
However, if after discussing the call you decide that it is interference and you call the interfernce, then the BR is out and the play is dead at the moment the interference took place.
Being that there were two outs, if the interference happened before the BR touched first, then no runs can score since the BR never reach first base. If the interference had of happened after the BR touched first, only the runs that had scored prior to the interference would count.
