he did the shooting. he had the car parked outside an exit door, an emergency exit door of the theater. so we think the early or immediate intervention by law enforcement prevented him from being able to leave the building so he reentered the theater and that's when he shot himself. >> we also learned houser was turned down for a concealed weapons permit in phoenix city, alabama where he had lived up until last year. >> at the time he applied for his permit he had the arson arrest in his history as well as the domestic violence reports. >> reporter: in 2008 a court ordered houser not to contact his wife who was afraid of his volatile mental state. and tonight we found the .40 caliber semi automatic handgun was purchased in phoenix alabama. any time mass shootings happen there is increased discussion about gun control.

a factor. >> the cuts that are being made as far as mental health around the state is allowing a lot of these people that should not be walking around to be out in the community. and, you know, that's a scary scenario that we're dealing with every day. >> reporter: alabama does not require a permit or license to buy or own a gun yet serious mental illnesses should have been spotted during federal background checks. >> i do see that in '08 and '09 he was treated for mental illness so that should have stopped him from buying a weapon. >> reporter: why he ended up in lafayette 500 miles from his home in alabama is still unclear. >> he seems to be estranged from his family members, we spoke with his 15 members who haven't seen him or don't have much contact with him so it seems like he was kind of drifting along. >> reporter: this is america's third mass shooting in nearly

inspector general recently asked the justice department to begin a if i recall inquiry. the issue was whether her private server caused are be dissemination of classified information. >> i'm aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material. >> but the inspector general told the justice department that mrs. clinton's private account contained hundreds of potentially classified e-mails. any males had been done so after the fact and not at the time they were transmitted. later on friday clinton weighed in herself. >> because there have been a lot of inaccuracies. >> she criticized media reports without saying how they were wrong and she pledged to cooperate with a congressional

candidates. >> bernie sanders would do better the poll indicated. on top of it all republicans are make sure that no one miss clinton news. accuses the media of being in conclusion with the gop. either way the clinton campaign may have bigger problems if the e-mail controversy keeps going. david schuster, al jazeera. >> for more on hillary clinton we are joined by jason johnson professor of political science at hyram college in cleveland tonight. good to see you jason. was it a good idea for hillary clinton to come out as aggressively against these allegations? it seems like we were back to the day much the vast political conspiracy. >> this is what the clintons do the best, they are going to punch argue scream deny deny deny until your accuser gets tired of it. this is the best thing for hillary clinton to do.

because unless or until the republicans or the justice department can actually find something that she hid or find something that was inappropriate within these e-mails none of it really matters to the voters and none of it is going to affect her chance he in 2016. >> do you really 30 it doesn't matter to the voters given trustworthy allegations that we have? the vast right wing conspiracy days there's a general consensus that using the private server was at the very least not a good idea. >> well here's the thing antonio, does anyone ever really trust the clintons, no, hillary clinton is not running for president because she's the most trustworthy president but because she will get things done. she'll do the things that barack obama was afraid to do or she'll do things that won't make the

issue is can something actually be discovered from these e-mails that shows that trust was betrayed as opposed to she's just a shady person? and that so far has not occurred. same thing with benghazi. you've got to give me something before the voters are really going to change their mind about her. >> all about this coming out swinging does it go too far? accusing the media of being in cahoots with the renal party? >> it is always important whether you are a republican or a democrat to say that it's us against them. whether that them is the opposing party whether that them is the press whether that them they're going to say that the press is after them as well. this is textbook 101. the important thing to remember is this, every single poll we see now is july. if hillary clinton has lower

numbers come november of this year or january of next year if she's still losing to a potential republican opponent maybe this would have an effect. >> quinn peequinnipiac is a pretty serious polling organization. >> remember there were polls in january of twhaifn showed a close race between barack obama and herman kane. so we have to see a trend not one poll but a trend. >> want to get a quick final question in. if this does balloon what do you think will happen? is there anybody who can step in and be the democrat -- who would step in? >> if this scandal grows into something bigger and actually harms hillary clinton the republicans win the white house no matter who they run. there's nobody on the democratic side, bernie sanders cannot win the presidency. >> joe biden?

>> joe biden would have to step into the race and step in soon and i don't think that's very likely now. >> jason always good to have you with us. thanks. >> thanks antonio. >> former governor and now presidential candidate rick perry was indicted for public works conclusion, when he tried to fire a district attorney accused of drunk driving. today the coercion charge was thrown out the abuse of power indictment stands. another megamerger in the health care industry. ann them is buying cigna. the combined companies will become the largest health insurer in the country. just a few weeks ago aetna

>> and attracting birds that have few other places to go. >> when you have limited water sources birds and mosquitos will tend to congregate in the same areas, increasing the likelihood of a mosquito finding a bird to bite. >> west nile is a disease that's here to stay. >> 80% of those infected will be fine and won't even know they have west nile advisor but using insect repellent and avoiding a bite is the only way to avoid the anxiety that it could be more than just anishy nuisance. lisa gonzalez, al jazeera, elk grove california. >> inhibitor blocks the suns of ldl from the body. doctors believe the new drugs could greatly reduce heart
