7:15 pm
had with 4 people of the chat. he discussed in buying a gun on march 3rd, 2022 is another 4 person chat quotations word on the street. you are buying a good ramos reply. just bought something are in on march 14th. and it was this grand posting by the subject in quotations 10 more days. user replied, are you going to shoot up school or something? the subject replied no, and stop asking dumb questions and you will see or
7:16 pm
you have any questions and they have agreed to stay as long as we can answer me those questions that we can't. if i can't answer, we don't know. definitely right now, i'll simply say that it continues to be a literary investigation, was literally, you know, certainly over hundreds of interviews has been conducted will continue to be conducted and there's thousands of leads that be pursued, not, not consecutively, but concurrently. and thanks to work federal and local partners, and i do wanna mention behind me, we got the special agent in charge. we also have a special agent charge. ready a sack and of course, well, so i got the texas rangers presenting specifics that i haven't
7:17 pm
covered. i might need their particular support on. i do want to cover one thing before i go to questions and that's some of the questions that we received that we already received. and one of those is going around now that there's that in fact, the subject had been the 2 arrested by the texas rangers and the local police back in 20018. that's not the case. he was not one of the individuals. in fact, we have found no links associated the relationships that investigation 30 was a threat. it was back in 2018 to juveniles were charged with attempted or conspiracy to commit capital murder. there's no question that we thought we had evidence. totally. a district attorney agree that these bugles 13114 years old, was a threat, the evolving and it was a discussion at that time, even the senior year of the one that was 14 years old,
7:18 pm
which would make it 2022. however, it was not the subject questions, the while you've been watching a police briefing in you describing in detail the timeline of what happened during the school shooting at the 19 children and 2 adults were killed. that was stephen mccool, texas department of public safety in any broke down in tears. as we describe what happened, he revealed that the killer shot more than a 100 rounds of ammunition and around 11 30 am. before continuing his rampage. he said around 19 the law enforcement officers arrived in the corridor outside the classroom, where the shooter was barricaded in before he was eventually killed by offices
7:19 pm
in washington. now we have some kimberly hallett white house correspondent standing by. kimberly, are there any signs of legislative agreement legislative agreement in terms of responding to this tragedy and trying to potentially put in place laws that might prevent something like this from happening again? well, there's at least discussion and that is something that hasn't always been the case after mass shootings in the past. in fact, when this texas of massacre essentially occurred, a lot of people shrugged their shoulders and felt like, here we go again and nothing's gonna change. but this time there seem to be some hopeful signs of the u. s. senate that is really important because previously the senate has the kind of for the obstacle for bringing about what some considered to be reasonable gun control laws that would prevent these types of
7:20 pm
situations of mass shootings of the cartridge that we've seen in texas this week. and here's why we've seen in the past that there has been legislation that's been passed the house of representatives, the lower chamber of congress, that it gets to the senate, and it's blocked by a handful of conservative republicans. but now we've got a bipartisan group of republicans and democrats about 10 that are talking about a couple of things. a red flag laws potentially that would allow for keeping the guns out of the hands of mentally ill or people that could harm others. also expanded background checks even more funding for making schools more secure and potentially even reviving was known as the assault weapons ban. something that was back in the ninety's, very effective for about 10 years before it expired and reducing the number of mass shootings in the united states tried to revive it in 2013 in the united states. that effort failed again because i a handful of republicans,
7:21 pm
were opposed to it. but now there are some discussions. and why are these handful of republicans so important? because in a 100 member senate were 5050. are republicans and democrats. you need 60 to pass legislation. so the fact that there are some republicans that seem to be willing to entertain the democrats legislation is a hopeful sign for many democrats. in fact, there is even a signal that there could be voting on this legislation as early as june. so some encouraging signs for those that are looking for legislation to prevent these types of tragedies. kimberly, how can i for us at the white house. thank you for now. other news now, a group of lawyers has announced it will take their case of the killing of al jazeera journalist sharing utley to the international criminal court. they representing a palestinian journalist, he say they were systematically targeted by israel. shaheen was shot in a hand,
7:22 pm
buys railey forces while on the assignment and occupied west bank on may. the 11th international center of justice for palestinians said that she means family gave permission for its legal action. jennifer robinson is one of the barristers. she says that palestinian jernace are still in danger of being attacked by israeli forces as we want. and i, i see a complaint back in april. the attacks on palestinian journalist by the israeli defense force have been widespread and systematic. and the threat of it ongoing attacks against journalists is clear. sadly show in a barclays murder is a clear demonstration of the ongoing threat posed journalists and palestinian journalists reporting in the occupied territories. and an urgent need to address impunity for these attacks. are the 0 need in network has also decided to refer the killing of sri absolutely to the international criminal court network says it's put together a team of international legal experts. al jazeera has decided to take sure he is
7:23 pm
the case to o. c. c, to hold her kilo accountable and bring justice to city. in addition, al jazeera is exploring all legal was ability was abilities and is determined to bring justice to children. and we will come every initiative to follow up on this girl at the bar that was at the press conference in london. the key message was that there is no shortage of evidence that is ready, forces have targeted policy and journalists carrying out their job. and clearly marked civilians in press jackets who have been either killed or maimed by israeli armed forces. not just him in recent times, going back to 2018 and the guns border protests in which 2 of the
7:24 pm
cases in which the initial complaint, the i c. c, a centering on, but going right back many, many years. there are, there are many different journalists, bodies around the world who have different figures, depending on when you start. but it runs into the doesn't since the year 2000, that's journalists who have been killed in the occupied palestinian territory. most of them were palestinian generalists. all of them were civilians, clearly mart doing their job. and in the eyes of those journalists targeted for doing so because as we've heard, israel does not recognize the international federation of journalist press card. in effect de legitimizing palestinian journalists. rob matheson is in occupy these tourists, them. he says, palestinians are hopeful, the icpc will take legal action against israel. the cases that are being put
7:25 pm
forward to the i c. c, for their consideration that we've been talking about are only a small fraction of the number of cases where journalists have been killed or attacks in this region over many years. now in all. 6 moses, there has never yet been a prosecution that brought where somebody has been held accountable and somebody has been found guilty and somebody has been punished. and as a result, the palestinians are very cautious about being showing any sort of confidence that the this latest development in the, as far as the international criminal court is concerned, is actually going to give any sort of justice as they would see it. what a palestinian authority has carried out its own investigation. it has concluded that the bullet that was fired but killed sharon did come from the weapon, elvin israeli soldier. it still has the bullet and it is not prepared to share it with any israeli investigation because it's about to quoted. it basically doesn't trust israelis. israeli military, for its part,
7:26 pm
is holding its own internal investigation. but that's what happens in every case such as this israeli military police are not going to carry out a criminal investigation because they say there was no criminal act. so as far as palestinians are concerned, that's kind of gray area, that kind of lack of transparency that you see here on a regular basis doesn't really give them a lot. a lot of optimism for this case that may go to the i. c. c should consider it, but one thing that is interesting is that the palestinians are very aware that the i c, c has said that it's jurisdiction, no colors, the palestinian occupied territories. and israel as well. israel doesn't recognize of course the, the i c c. but as far as the palestinians are concerned, this is essentially a test case for the i see, see if it doesn't meet the mark as far as the palestinians are concerned. if it doesn't investigate, they saw the investigation takes a long time. as far as the palestinians are concerned, the i c. c will have virtually no credibility. the killing of an unarmed black man
