3:31 am
>> absolutely. they have not captured him at this point. i have talked to the mayor as well as the chief of police, and they have assured me that they have officers, many, many officers working on this 24 hours, seven days, they will do it as long as it takes until they bring this person to justice. >> what can you tell us about the victims? we understand as you said they are all african american, did they know each other? >> no, the ages range from i think in the 50s to younger people which i think 17, 18, i don't know of anyone that was injured that is younger than that. but i do know that allegedly
3:32 am
these people are walking -- driving up to people they say walking and asking for directions, and when the people give them directions, or tell them they don't know, then as they are walking away, this person opens fire. >> so the shooter is asking for directions. >> right. >> what is the mood there? i would imagine that people there are pretty concerned. >> oh, absolutely. and we had a press conference last night and we had all the news media there to really alert the citizens that the police department has assured us that they are, like i said before, doing all they can, trying to bring this person and they have had a couple leads, i don't think they panned out. but they are working and trying to apprehend this person or persons, to this point i don't
3:33 am
know if it's more than one. >> as i understand there was a meeting at the church last night and naacp members are saying this could be a hate crime looking at it that way, is that what the may are kror and police are telling you as well? >> well, i think that they have not said those words specifically, but i do think that they understand that that could be a possibility, you have somebody white that has come in a community and taken shots and killing black people, to me that would indicate that we have some kind of racial problem. >> is there a better description of this person at all? is it a male, female? how old? >> male. >> a male shooter. >> white male, at the time driving a white pick-up truck, it had a tail pipe hanging.
3:34 am
the people that survived naturally gave the information that they have to this point. and i'm sure that the police department may have other evidence at this time, but i have been in touch with them on numerous occasions, they are calling me and keeping me informed when they get leads. >> of the four locations the shootings took place, anything specific about those? where were they? >> no, they are all in the north tulsa area which is pre dominantly afro-american community. and that, too, would lead to the belief this was a hate crime because that particular area, target area and they went at four different locations in that area and these locations are within a five mile radius of each other. >> as the councilman there, what
3:35 am
is your advice to community members? >> that is my whole meeting last night, what we were trying to do was to assure the citizens that we don't need anybody to go and take matters in their own hands. we want to give the police department an opportunity and to support them in trying to apprehend this person. we need to incorporate with the police. i know there are pockets of people that have not traditionally done that, but this is a crisis situation, a lot of people are afraid for their lives, afraid for their children, afraid for loved ones, and if you can't walk outside or walk down the street in the city that you live in, then that is definitely a problem. so we need to see this person apprehended, apprehended
3:36 am
expeditiously and we need to help all we can to try to make that happen. >> absolutely. councilman jack henderson, if you get more information, please check back in with us, appreciate your time. >> i certainly will, you have a blessed day. >> you too. top stories, sad news to report from the art world, beloved painter thomas kinkade has died. his family said he died of natural causes in his california home and they are shocked and saddened by the artist's passing. more details will be released in the coming days. kinkade was 54. >> hugo chavez is flying back to cuba to continue cancer treatment two days after returning home. the 57-year-old says he'll met with the cabinet before he leaves today. neither chavez nor the government giving details about the cancer that he's battling. time now for something we like to call political gut check
3:37 am
and break down what is going on in politics. seems that most gop leaders and mitt romney believe that he's pretty much all but secured the republican nomination, here's why. take a look. of the 36 primaries and caucuses romney has won 23, rick santorum 11, romney has a total of 659 delegates to date, santorum less than half that, 275. the magic number you heard it before, 1144. that is what it will take to win the nomination. so whether you're a gambler or not, easy to see the odds aren't in san torick santorum's favor. what does he gain by staying in i asked mark preston. >> this is closest he will ever be to getting the republican nomination. the reason i say that if mitt romney becomes the nominee and loses to barack obama, who is the next cast of characters that could potentially be the republican nominee in 2012?
3:38 am
marco rubio, paul ryan, chris christi, some of the up and coming superstars, would make it hard for rick santorum to decide to get out of the race now. this might be his only shot. >> his team, says fuzzy math, the delegate math isn't adding up. >> they're trying to put a spin on the numbers, this is a complicated process how they elect delegates from each state. by cnn's account, the gold standard of where we are, is the fact mitt romney only needs 44% of the remaining delegates to become the nominee. rick santorum needs 80% of the remaining delegates. if you're a gambler, who are you betting on? >> his team and rick santorum himself is saying we're at the halfway point don't count me out. does he expect gains later on? >> he does.
3:39 am
so his big strategy is get through april for pennsylvania, once he gets in may there are some states he thinks he will do better in. arkansas, same voter profile where he has done well. the problem is that even if he were to win those states, the delegates will be divided up, they are not winner take all. how to you get to the 80%? >> when you look at pennsylvania he's a u.s. senator from pennsylvania this is a make or break state for him? >> this is something you will hear in the next couple weeks. rick santorum if the polls continue to show that he is eel in trouble in pennsylvania, will he decide to get out before the pennsylvania primary so as not to lose his home state, that will be a major talking point. let's get through easter, after that, that is what people will talk about. if he loses pennsylvania how can he stay in the race at that point? >> he had a big meeting, secret talks with conservative leaders
3:40 am
this week. do we know what that was about? >> the message, what are they going to do, how can they recapture the momentum rick santorum has been able to pick up in spurts so far? the big question for rick santorum is not can he get the delegates to get to the convention but how do you deny mitt romney, the conservative leaders think they could have a convention fight and could potentially win the nomination. could it happen? anything could happen in life. that is really difficult. >> they want a floor fight. >> that is the way rick santorum becomes the nominee. thank you. you can read more from mark preston at cnn.com/gutcheck. the smallest town in america has been sold in an auction. how much do you think it went for? 90,000, 900,000, nine million,
