name of the gunman. we're expected to get a picture of him and also learn a little bit more about his motivation and we're also expecting to hear from the fbi, certainly the big if he will be how does somebody with as our law enforcement sources told n, how does someone with a history of mental illness able to obtain an ar style assault rifle and randomly shoot at people? as you were explaining, this all began with the house fire, a house set on fire and found inside two bodies and at this point we believe that they are relatives of the gunman, believed to be the father and the brother of this gunman, and then the gunman takes a chilling turn wearing owl black, wearing a vest, carrying that rifle. he starts randomly firing at people outside of that house, shooting at a woman who was driving her car and then turning on another car and carjacking that car and then taking that victim and her vehicle all the way to santa monica college and along the way stopping to shoot

at other innocent victims including people sitting on a city bus. finally, he made his way to santa monica college and unleashing more bullets in the library. here is what one witness told cnn. >> he fired two in the parking lot area and then when i turned around and he shot at me, i was the third, and then i heard another three, four individual shots and until maybe three, four minutes later i heard a barrage of fire. >> this is a quiet beach community. for a little perspective, this is a place that is iconic and known for southern california's weather as well as beautiful ferris wheel and this is stunning for the students on the campus as well as the people that live here. the gunman finally taken town by police and one other thing we would like to add. we have spoken to the relatives of one of the victims, the victim identified as 68-year-old carlos navarro franco. he is the first identified. we have spoken to a relative

that says he was a grounds keeper at the college. he was driving his daughter in his red suv to campus because she attends school there, just to pick up books when they met the gunman, and one last thing, fredricka, very sad news about that girl. the family not expecting that girl to survive because her injuries are so grave. >> terribly sad. thanks so much. we'll check back you about inside the next our or an hour from now when the press conference is scheduled to take place. cleveland kidnapping suspect ariel castro has been indicted on 329 charges. the former school bus driver is accused of holding three women in his home for ten years against their will. the indictment describes years of brutal assaults. one charge accuses the 52-year-old castro of aggravated murder for purposely causing the end of a pregnancy. the bulk of the charges are 139 counts of rape and 177 counts of kidnapping. he will be ar rained next week.

this just in. a court in the george zimmerman murder trial recessed for the day without a ruling on critical evidence. that rule would come from the judge. the judge was supposed to rule as to whether voice analysis of a 911 call would be admissible in court, again, the trial is to begin with jury selection starting monday with some experts are saying that the voice calling for help is that of martin and that weekendakens zimmerman's self-defense claim. the judge wanted to determine whether the expert analysis is indeed a fit to be placed into evidence into that trial. again, jury selection beginning monday. till no ruling coming from the judge on the motion hearing today. however, the evidence hearing will resume. this just in. an arrest warrant has been

issued for the crane operator involved in that deadly building collapse in philadelphia. a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation tells cnn that police are looking for 42-year-old shawn benzshop, and they say he will be charged with six counts of involuntary manslaughter. earlier a city hall source told cnn that marijuana and pain medication were found in his blood. during the demolition a four story wall fell on a salvation army thrift store and six people died in that collapse and 13 people were heard. the district attorney's office did not return messages from cnn seeking comment. nelson mandela is in serious but stable condition. the former south african leader was hospitalized early this morning for recurring lung infection. a spokesman says he is breathing on his own and receiving the best care possible. robin is joining us live from johannesburg.

anything more about how nelson mandela is doing this evening? >> no. we have had no official updates and many here in south africa not expecting any updates from the government as they go to about he had this saturday night. it is about 9 p.m. local time. i think there is a real sense of practicing ma tichl, you know, whether or not mandela will be spending another week in the hospital or not. i think some south africans deeply and acutely aware he is old and he is frail and also remembering that in that one statement today coming out of the government president jacob zum aalso saying, also asking south africans to pray for mandela. >> i think people should think about him. i think we should be celebrating his life and while he is with us so that we're able to celebrate it even when he is want with us. there is a simple message in his life for all of us. it tells us that our humanity is

derived from what we do for others rather than what we do for ourselves. this is what he has done. this is what makes us better people. and i think that the adoration that we see is a simple manifestation of people's desire to be better and we can be better if we serve and make other people's lives better. >> key, isn't it, that government officials already coming out and trying to perhaps prepare people already saying look to his legacy and look to his message at the same time he is spending another night in the hospital and remember he spent christmas and easter in the hospital recovering from this pneumonia and many people hoping again he will bounce back and defy the doctor's expectations as he keeps on doing and that this will be again another short stay and that hopefully he will be home soon. really no indication beyond this

brief statement that it is serious but stable and breathing on his own and no real indication of how this will play out in the next few days >> thank you so much. keep us posted there from johannesburg. back to this country where the leaders of two super powers are meeting in southern california. president obama is playing host to his chinese counterpart, and the two are meeting at a result in rancho mirage and talking about a number of things including whether or not the chinese and hacker there are stealing u.s. military secrets. jessica, last night they talked about cyber security. did they accomplish anything and today what is the driving force of their meetings? >> hi, fred. the topics leading the summit are as you say cyber security, the issues on the korean peninsula, especially north korea's nuclear program, and potentially iran and syria.

on the cyber issue, it is fundamentally about the u.s.' accusation that china has stolen not just military information but intellectual property from u.s. business that is costs hundreds of millions of dollars to u.s. companies and tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs in this country and the president is asking the chinese president to see that it stops. no one is expecting that to be the result of this summit but there is to be agreement about rules of the road going forward. and the indication we were given last night is the two countries will agree to work out standards going forward and the chinese president did downplay the issue to some extent saying that the american media hyped the threat from china on the cyber front and that this is one area of discussion but not as much of a problem as we like to make it out to be, fred. >> any way of reading what this

relationship is blossoming be to like? does it seem as though the two like each other? is there a way to read that? whether their body language is saying anything important? >> well, i can tell you this. the new president of china is a very different kind of leader and the very fact they're having this summit here now tells us that there is huge change in the relationship or the potential for a huge change in the relationship between the u.s. and china. america see this is president as a younger, more modern, more sophisticated kind of chinese leader and somebody who they could talk to with less formality, and instead of having those kind of horrible state dinners and big public events that you usually have when the chinese leader comes to the u.s., they're having this summit at a state usually the playground for the rich and famous and frank sinatra got married there.

ronald reagan spent 18 new year's eves on this estate and richard nixon went hiding there as he resigned. it is very secluded and creates an environment where the two men have been able to meet in private and have held hours of powwows to work out the issues we have discussed. it tells you it is a different kind of relationship already, fred. >> jessica, thank you so much. in a bizarre twist, an object cure actress in next next is accused of mailing rice inletters to the president. she planned to blame them on her husband according to reports. susan is joining from us new york to keep us posted. what's the fbi saying about this investigation? >> what a twisted case. to hear authorities tell it, this was one troubled woman in a troubled marriage with her husband and apparently went to some pretty bizarre lengths if the charges are true to frame

her husband. her name as we said, shannon richardson, an actress whose stage name is shannon rogers and in court papers the fbi accuses her of writing and sending ricin letters or letters tainted with ricen to president obama, bike he will bloomburg and the director of a gun control group michael glaze and charged also with planting evident in and around the house including creating ricin research on her husband's computer and putting together a tupperware container with ricin ingredients inside and scattering castor beans used to make it in the trunk of her husband's car and mailed the letter from texas and drove to louisiana and met with the fbi to accuse her husband of sending the ricin letters. they read in part will you have to kill me and my family before you get my guns. anyone wants to come to my house will get shot in the face. the right to bear arms is my

constitutional god given right and i will exercise that right until the day i die. what's in this letter is nothing compared to what i got planned for you. no explanation for why she allegedly wrote this rert. the fbi interviewed her husband. he blamed his wife, so it is he said she said and she allegedly told the fbi it was her husband that made her do it. >> you mentioned she was an actress. what about those that work with her on sets or just within the neighborhood, what are they saying about her? >> one thing you do is check social media. we went to twitter. we found these tweets on there. with one is from the former executive producer of the highly popular show the walking dead and apparently is he played a minor role on that show. he wrote this, some actress from the walking dead sent ricin letters to the president? never heard of her. anyone know what role she played? he gets an answer from the producer of the vampire diaries that says she played an

equivalent role to one she supposedly played on vampire diaries and third background from the right or something. ouch. sadly, this case plays like a made for tv movie and of course this is a real life drama. >> okay. we're talking about allegedly sending poison or at least a letter tainted with poison to the president of the united states. what potential charges are we talking about, potential penalty? >> very serious trouble if she is found guilty she faces up to ten years in prison. >> thanks so much. susan candiotti in new york. we also learned this week about the federal government spying on phone calls and even internet sites. how does the government collect this kind of information? we're digging deep other that straight ahead. a judge's ruling means a little girl that desperately needs a transplant could be on a faster track to get new lungs.

president obama is standing behind the ns a's secret programming. he says the surveillance is necessary to keep the country safe. >> nobody is listening to content of people's phone calls. this program by the way is fully over seen not just by congress but by a court especially put together to evaluate classified programs to make sure that the executive branch or government generally is not abusing them and that it is being carried out consistent with the constitution. and the rule of law. >> that's the president earlier in the week in washington. now he is in california. so is all of this nsa surveillance talk upstaging that summit? jack quinn is former white house council and worked for president bill clinton. good to see you. the president's agenda is being interrupted yet again. this time it is particularly

tough for the president or perhaps is it not to offer assurances that americans are not being treated like they are the enemies. is this tough, a tough message for the president to kind of uphold? >> well, any time you have something as important as this summit meeting between the united states and china interrupted by any other news that distracts the president, it is not a good thing. i think he has been clear a forthright and forceful in his defense of what the government is doing in this regard in an effort, i believe, to try to put this to rest quickly. >> does it seem that this really is not a partisan issue? you have republicans. you have democrats, all defending this tracking and this meta data, so if this is damaging, to whom is it damaging? >> you know, i don't think it is damaging. i really don't think it is politically damaging. there are some who have tried to, you know, connect this to

other things like the so-called irs scandal and so on. these are completely unrelated things. there are no absolutes in how the country is run and how we ensure the security of the american people. almost all americans treasure their privacy. they don't want the government snooping in their business. almost every single american, i dare say every american, also values the safety and security of our government, of our country, so we have to balance these things, and i believe that in the operation of this particular surveillance program that's being accomplished. you know, what the president said is absolutely true. the government is not listening to the content of anybody's telephone conversations. we're really trying to sort of connect the dots here so that, for example, data there with phone calls being placed and to

whom they're placed and the duration of the call, if you were to make a phone call to a number that is known to be used by senior al qaeda operatives, and you repeatedly made calls like that, and you are making calls that take longer than it takes to say, i am sorry i dialed the wrong number, then they will take a keen interest in that. as somebody so well said earlier, we're looking to for a needle in a haystack in these surveillance operations and these data are the haystack. you have to have that in order to be able to find the dots that you want to connect in order to find the bad guys and stop them, and we have been given assurances by both republicans and democratic leaders of the congressional intelligence committees that in fact these operations have enabled our government to interfere with, to put a halt to terrorist attacks,

not unlike the boston marathon bombing. >> and the president tried to offer those assurances once again yesterday. do you feel like that is enough said by the president or will the white house have to take yet another approach to offer assurances to the american people that in order to secure your safety, there has to be this kind of probing, if that's going to be the message from this white house? >> well, i think the fact that you and i are talking about it suggests that the president hasn't really put it to rest yet. as i said earlier, i think he did a terrific job of explaining this. i suspect that because some other news outlets are continuing to mischaracterize what's going on here, that it will take some repeating of the president's message really to put this to rest once and for all. and, you know, it bears emphasis that it is important that the congress continue oversight.

as the president said, you have congressional oversight, federal courts looking at this, created a civil liberties oversight board looking at this and making sure we strike the right balance in these things, and so you want vigilance here. nobody wants to see governmental powers abused, have these used for the wrong purposes, political or otherwise, but i think based on what we have seen so far, there is really nothing for the american people to be concerned about, and you have seen so many times when you put it to the american people, they're willing to give up a little privacy in order to make sure our country is safe. >> all right. leave it right there. jeff quinn, good to see you. thanks so much. >> nice to see you. have a good day. >> there is more. just how does the nsa gather information on your phone calls or internet sites? we'll take a closer look at that a few minutes from now. also ahead, a former navy

and may have accepted it and maybe half and half. maybe less. i don't know. it is a chance that if i took it, i might be dead today. >> you might be dead because of what? >> if it had got out while i was in active duty, i don't know. i mean, it is hard to say what the reaction would be. >> that was an actual fear of yours, a concern of yours, that if this got out, somebody might kill me in the field. >> yes. that's a fear i have right now. i don't know. when the book came out, some amazing support and some amazing praises but also some pretty amazing bigotry and hatred and it is like the comments i will never read that back, and i said, hey, if you read it you could educate yourself a little bit and i don't want to you love me, i don't want you to like me, but i don't want you to beat me up and kill me. you don't have to like me. i don't care. please don't kill me.

next week the board that oversees organ donations in the u.s. will meet and may make an

unprecedented move. its members could lift what's known assist the under 12 rule which limits sick kids access to adult organs. the issue came to light after the family of 10-year-old sara went to a judge to get the rule changed. now she and an 11-year-old boy have a better shot of getting the lungs they desperately need. jason carol has their story. >> javier's family is hoping he has a better chance at surviving. the 11-year-old has cystic fibrosis and needs a lung transplant. so, too, does 10-year-old sara mernihan. ♪ twinkle, twinkle, little star. >> she suffer from the same disease, both at the same hospital in philadelphia. each family praying a lung donor willome in time thanks to a federal judge's decision. >> we sat down and explained the system a little bit in a way she

could you understand and she felt a lot of hope when i explained it to her. >> earlier this week the judge ordered the department of health and human services to temporarily suspend policy in sara and javier's case which had prevented all children under the age of 12 from receiving priority in the adult pool of patients waiting for transplants. lung donation from children are rare. children can use a modified lung from an adult, and since there are more lung donations from adults, they say what should happen now is clear. >> the system needs to be changed. it needs to be fair for everyone, for adults and for children. i don't want sara in front of anyone who is sicker. this should be the sickest person first. >> javier's family knows the pain of waiting all too well. in 2009 his brother who also that cystic fibrosis died while waiting for a transplant. the muchlt urnaghans initiated

the lawsuit hence hhs and kathleen se beal he is urging her to change the under 12 rule. they was questioned about it during a budget hearing. >> the worst of all worlds is to have some individual pick and choose who lives and who dies. i think you want a process where it is guided by medical science and medical experts. >> the hhs has declined to comment on the on going legal matter. on monday. the united network for organ sharing that manages the list and works with hhs will hold an emergency meeting to review its lung allocation policy. the lawyer representing both families it is the organization should do more than just review it. >> i think the prudent thing to do would be to suspend the policy pending further review. >> suspending the policy is not entirely out of the question. in a copy of the letter from the united network for organ sharing written to the secretary earlier this week it says if the committee finds the available

data suggested change is warranted, the committee would be able to approve it. jason carol, cnn, new york. >> and today javier's mother explained what we are family has been through watching their second child grow closer to death as he waits for lungs. >> this is like watching a movie that you have seen before and you want a different ending basically. so you are inclined to do whatever it takes to change that. it was very difficult dealing with that. my son was 11. he was a month shy of his 12th birthday when he passed. he didn't get the opportunity to receive the adult lungs. it impacted our lives and javier's also. that was his best friend, his buddy. they did everything together. they were hospitalized together. it has impacted him greatly. >> all right. these cases are fuelling a debate on whether dying children should get fast tracked to receive adult organs. arthur kaplan is the head of the

biokba ses unit at new york university. good to see you. do you agree with these rulings? >> i think the situation is grim. adding children like these two pushes someone else out of the life boat. there is no real simple and easy answer. that said, who could begrudge the families for doing what they're trying to do to get a lung for their dying child? i think most americans would say we ought to have fairness to children. we ought to give them perhaps even extra points, just because they're children, morally they may have a special claim. they haven't lived their lives yet. the difficulty really is what are the facts? do lungs from adults work in kids? some skepticism that if you only use a piece of a lung to fit it into a small child, it is not going to work as well as it would in an adult. i think that's the core fact we'll have to get clear about this coming week.

if they do poorly, then the rule makes sense. if the evidence isn't there, the rule doesn't make a lot of sense. >> it is difficult to please everyone. you hear from one side like one parent who says why not allow those who are sickest get to the front of the line, but then the medical argument is exactly what you just spelled out. if certain lungs, adult sized lungs don't fit in children customarily, then a lung, you know, or lungs may go to waste just by virtue of the fact they may have been at the top of the list and not because it would have been a potential fit. >> that's right. basically you are using a piece of the lung and i think that makes many surgeons nervous that it is not going to work as well as if you use the whole thing if you will damage it trying to make it fit. the other thing to keep in mind here is we have a system. it works very well. it has been distributing organs, livers, hearts, kidneys and

lungs for a long time and people live and die every day waiting for these. you don't want to industry the system. it isn't great to think about people suing and saying i don't want to be at the end of the list here and at the end of the list there. what we do need is a system that has some room for appeal and some compassion that may come out of this case, too. >> you think the policy should be suspended while this review is taking place? >> i do. >> dr. art kaplan, thank you so much for joining us. appreciate it. we're also awaiting word of a press conference saying place in santa monica, california, momentarily to update us on that deadly shoot out that took place involving a santa monica college yesterday, at least four people killed and i understand the press conference is just now getting under way. you see right there people getting into place there as we await the officials to come to that podium and explain where the investigation is going. we know four people were killed, and possibly a fifth person who

is in the hospital who according to sources is not doing well. it was the daughter of one of the victims who was in a vehicle on who may have been hit by bullets but apparently she is in very serious condition, so right now the death toll being four. of course, when we get more information about when the officials come out with this press conference with information about the identity of the gunman, that, too, is likely to take place. in fact, we're seeing streamline there of police officers approaching the podium. let's listen in. >> everybody ready? okay. good afternoon. i am sergeant richard lewis. again, i want to express my condolences to the victims and their families. you will be provided an update today. first to speak already cheap of the santa monica college police

department, albert vasquez. second up to speak will be chief of the santa monica police department, jacqueline seabrooks. we have additional personnel up here. with whether or not they speak or not, i will give their names at that point. with that said, chief vasquez. >> good afternoon. i am albert vasquez, the chief of the santa monica college police department. on behalf of santa monica college we send our heartfelt condolences to the victims of the crime that is occurred yesterday within the city of santa monica and culminated on our campus. we can confirm that the woman who was shot outside of the library succumbed to her injuries and passed away. we can also confirm that the driver of the red ford explorer,

mr. carlos franco was an employee of santa monica college and again we are saddened by these horrific events and offer our thoughts and prayers for the families. as the criminal investigation is on going and in its infancy, we are working with our allied partners to have our staff and students escorted onto campus late this afternoon or evening in order to pick up their vehicles. hopefully by tomorrow we will be able to escort them onto the campus and have them retrieve all of their personal belongings. we also have our counseling services available for our students and staff at the bundy campus today until 3 p.m. and tomorrow between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. the smc main campus will provide the same services beginning monday at 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily, most likely throughout the rest of the month. our 24 hour counseling support

hot line number is 866-315-7370 for all of our students and staff. the smc main campus will reopen on monday morning at 7:00 and all final exams will take place on monday as scheduled. we will post all of the information on our smc website and we will be sending out information via e-mail as appropriate. we also want to reiterate this was not a school shooting scenario as the incident began off campus and was unfortunate that the suspect chose santa monica college to continue the crime spree. finally, we are thankful for many partners who have come to our assistance after the occurrence of these tragic events. i would now like to introduce chief seabrooks who will discuss the on going investigation.

>> good afternoon. before we go too far with the conversation this afternoon, i want to apologize for the ongoi investigation. on june 7 at 11:52 a.m. the police department received a call of shots fired in the 2000 block of yorkshire. responding officers encountered a structure fire and shooting victim. this was being investigated. the police department was provided with additional information regarding a potential suspect vehicle. we determined that the vehicle

was that of a carjacking and that the driver of the vehicle was a victim of the carjacking. the suspect forced the driver to drive toward santa monica college. along the way at clover field boulevard the suspect got out of the car and began firing indiscriminately. his round struck a passing municipal bus operated by the city's municipal bus line. two people on oh the bus sustained minor injuries. they were treated at local area hospitals. the bus continued to cloverfield and olympic where it stopped so that the folks on the bus could be treated. the suspect forced the carjacking victim to drive to 20th and pearl. he got out of the car and shot at a ford explorer. one of the occupants of the ford explorer was killed. the other is in grave condition currently at a local hospital. the suspect walked along campus shooting as he went along.

he ene countered an unidentified woman in front of the campus library, executed her -- he shot her and she later died at an area hospital. the suspect entered the library, attempted to kill several patrons hiding in a safe room. it is miraculous those individuals weren't physically injured. the suspect returned to the main area of the library where he encountered three police officers, two from the santa monica police department and one from the santa monica college police department. relying on their training and tactics they were able to neutralize the suspect. the suspect was dressed in black including a nonload bearing vest meaning it didn't have ballistic panels in it but it was capable of carrying the same. he was armed with a .223 semi-automatic rifle similar in type to an ar-15. he possessed multiple loaded magazines. as he progressed through the campus it is important to note he dropped the large bag which contained additional loaded

magazines, a handgun and the upper receiver for a semi-automatic rifle. the suspect has been informally identified. he died of multiple gunshot wounds. he's been connected to the address on yorkshire and in the palms area of los angeles. because the next of kin has not been notified at this point his personal information will not be made public at this time. as soon as we have con oh fir medication that the notification has been made the police department will publicize the information. we understand that his family may be out of the country and we are making efforts to ensure that the notification goes forward. i will confirm at this point the police department did have contact with the individual in 2006. however, because the individual was a juvenile at the time, i'm not at liberty to discuss the circumstances of the contact. i'm aware that this individual and potentially a family member who may have been involved in the circumstance were recently

enrolled at santa monica college as recently as 2010. yesterday's circumstances were such that the initial reports reflected a degree of inconsistency in the death count and the numbers injured. the number killed in this tragedy totaled four. one victim is currently at an area hospital in grave condition and her prognosis is not good. the suspect is dead as well. so including the suspect, yesterday's shootings left five individuals dead and one with a grim prognosis and others with injuries. we are unable to provide the names of the deceased aside from that which was provided by chief vasquez. the next of kin haven't been notified by the coroner's office. the santa monica police department and fire department used a unified kmabd structure to manage the large scale investigation. to that end we have been assisted in the complex multi faceted investigation by various law enforcement partners to include those at the federal, state and local levels. we thank them for their

assistance as the investigation continues. we want to express our condolences to those killed by this cowardly murderer. the police department is in an investigative phase. we are working with criminal detectives, the district attorney's office as that relates to the inquiry regarding the officer-involved shooting and other law enforcement partners to assist us with processing the aspects of the various crime scenes that are along the continuum of the moving crime scene as it were. i will take a few questions. >> you said you don't know the identity of the man. what do you know about the motivation of the shooting rampage? >> we don't have that information at this point. >> do you think it was premeditated? >> i would presume any time someone puts on a vest of some sort, comes out with a bag full of loaded magazines, has an extra receiver, a handgun and a semi-automatic rifle, carjacks

folks, goes to a college, kills more people and has to oh be neutralized, i believe that's premeditated. >> you believe he planned to go to the college and shoot people only campus? >> i don't know, but that's where he ended up. >> how did he obtain the weapons? [ inaudible ] >> i can't confirm that at this point. that will be clarified as the investigation continues. >> what have you learned about his mental history? >> i have not learned anything i can disclose. >> the whereabouts of the guns? have you tracked who the owners were and how he was able to get them and the magazine clips? >> the guns he was in possession of at the time are in the custody of the county sheriff's department. the crime lab. we'll work with the sheriff's department and the atfe to do a trace on the weapons and obtain more information. >> registration. do you know who they are registered to? >> -- family members -- >> i can't remember that at this time. >> do you know who the weapons are registered to? >> it's part of the

investigation. >> can you describe the -- cable down below? >> okay. i'm going to leave that to staff to work to describe that. i do know there are magazines. i know there is a receiver and other things. >> the fact that the president was here, did that change your response yesterday? >> i can only take one question at a time. >> -- police officer -- [ inaudible ] >> it was the combined efforts of the three police officers on scene. we'll make a closer determination as the investigation continues. >> there were students inside the safe room in the library. how did they survive? >> it is my understanding they were able to see what was going on. they ran into a safe room as would be appropriate. they stacked items found in the safe room against the door, hunkered down and avoided shots fired through the drywall at them as they were in the room. >> when you talk about a safe room, what do you mean? for this type of circumstance? >> i don't know if it was for

this type of circumstance. at the end of the day it was used for this type of circumstance for which we should be grateful. >> how many people were in the room? >> -- 14th and pearl and -- >> 14th? >> 17th and pearl? >> i'm not familiar with what you speak of. >> how many people were in the safe room? >> i don't know. we'll provide the count later. >> why are you saying it's not a school shooting? it seemed it turned into one. >> we valuate school shootings as people who go specifically to a campus to exact a level of carnage. this began in santa monica, occurred throughout the city of santa monica or in various locales and ended on a campus. by the way we traditionally look at definitions such as that it's not a school shooting. >> do you believe he intended to go to the school? >> i have no idea what his intent was. >> you said the resident was connected to the residence where the people were found.

>> we know there are connections because we know informally who this person is. i cannot confirm publically who that person is pending the notification of kin by the family. but our investigation indicates at this point that there is a connection to the residence on yorkshire and it is a family connection. >> you're say the next of kin has not been notified because they are not in the country snm that's our information, yes. >> did his story check out when he said he found weapons? that's what he told us getting into a car. he said he found weapons -- did that check out? >> yes. >> which weapons did he find? >> he was on campus in a poorly timed effort to be a good samaritan for two of his friends. while he was on the campus he

bypassed the bag in which we found additional magazines and the like. that's what he was conveying to the responding officers. >> is it a father and a son in the house? >> that's not confirmed to my knowledge. >> have police responded to that residence before? >> i believe we did as part of an investigation. i don't know that the investigation started at that address. we were led there as a result. >> domestic incidents? >> that would be the 2006 incident. >> involves -- >> it involves the person we believe -- yes. to answer your question. >> chief -- >> the apartment. >> i'm sorry, somebody was talking while you were speaking. >>. [ inaudible ] >> our investigation will have to disclose that. keep in mind we are 24 hours out. we still have to work closely with allied partners to get that

information. >> can you go through the time starting with the fire? >> i will turn over for that level of specific detail, i will turn the response to folks from the public information office and let them address that issue. >> you said there were five dead and one injured -- i'm sorry. i'm down here. there is another woman in the hospital now that responded in her car but is not gravely inju injured. >> she's injured but not gravely. >> what is the suspect's mother's address? >> we have that location appropriately under review. >> chief, how was the response changed by president obama being nearby? >> one benefit is we had a lot of resources available for a ready response. >> were you able to use

helicopters? >> for law enforcement purposes we had helicopters where we needed them to be. >> did the department draw on previous training related to counterterrorism, anything like that, in deciding on the plan of response? >> the santa monica police department cotrains with the santa monica college police department. we engage in rapid response training consistent with the lessons learned from other mass shootings. those that happened both in college settings and elsewhere. so that training was clearly utilized by the three responding officers who neutralized the suspect. >> do you think he e went to the library for a specific reason. >> i don't know why he went there. [ inaudible ] >> i can't. i'm sorry. >> i don't have that count as of yet. i believe 24 today. would have been 23 yesterday. >> are those high capacity

magazines down there? >> they hold more than four or five rounds. if one were to give an approximation if all of the magazines were loaded fully, something in the order of about 1300 hundreds. that's an estimation. 1300 rounds could have been fired. [ inaudible ] >> no, i don't. >> is it in the hundreds, dozens? >> i don't know. >> you said his birthday was today? >> it would have been today. >> the suspected gunman. >> that's correct. >> he's holding an assault rifle in one hand in this picture. can anybody tell what's in the left hand? >> i believe it is a magazine. >> what type of challenge -- [ inaudible ] >> i think they met the challenge. that's what's more important to

talk about. >> we have not confirmed the next of kin. aside from the victim that chief vasquez spoke of, we are not at liberty to release the names. when we have that available, we will. >> how old would he have been today? >> i believe, 24. >> what about the safe room? can you describe what it offers snm as best i know it was a room where they were able to go and be safe. there were items in the room they were able to pile against the door to keep him from coming in. that worked. by hunkering down low when he fired into the room the folks in the room were able to avoid being hit. >> chief. >> when he carjacked the woman did he shoot her? >> the person from whom he took the car and made her follow him, no, he didn't shoot her. >> he shot -- >> he shot someone else. >> all right. you're listening to an amazing sequence of events and details

emerging now one day after the shooting involving santa monica college yesterday. you're hearing from the santa monica police chief, jacquelyn seabrooks. earlier it was said by the santa monica college police chief they didn't consider this a college campus shooting because the sequence of events began off campus, beginning with a house fire, according to chief seabrooks where two people believed to be related to the gunman, still unidentified. then that gunman moving off the house fire leading to an alleged carjacking, firing rounds hitting a city bus and then shooting a woman outside the library on the santa monica camp campus. also trying to approach other potential victims who were holed up in a safe room, avoiding injury. in the end, police detained the gunman. in all, five people are dead including the gunman.

one person, according to chief seabrooks, remaining in the hospital with a grim prognosis. the gunman has not been identified pending information that has to be passed on to relatives. apparently the chief says they may be out of the country until they are able to identify that person or persons. they will say this would have been the gunman's 24th birthday today. we'll have much more information as we continue to listen to the press conference that's ongoing and then we'll resume our coverage on that. meantime, a texas actress in an unrelated case, accused of sending ricin-laced letters to president obama and new york city mayor michael bloomberg. the fbi arrested shannon richardson yesterday. investigators say she admitted

to sending the letters but claimed her husband forced her to do it. her husband said she lied to the fbi. court papers say a polygraph exam found her to be deceptive. her husband has since filed for divorce. richardson faces ten years in prison if convicted. court in the george zimmerman murder trial has recessed for the day without a ruling on critical potential evidence. the judge was supposed to rule if voice analysis of 911 calls is admissible in court. experts suggested it was trayvon martin's voice heard calling for help the night that he was killed. >> does he look hurt? >> i can't see him. i don't want to go out there. i don't know what's going on. they're sending -- >> do you think he's yelling help? >> yes. >> all right. what is your -- >> cnn's martin savidge is live

in sanford, florida. the judge has not ruled on whether the evidence is admissible. we are talking about evidence as it pertains to voice analysis experts, right? >> right. exactly that. the audio tape will be herd by the jury. it will be a part of the case. what the prosecution wanted to do is they have a number of experts they say have analyzed the audio and can determine who is screaming for help in the background. that would be crucial because the debate has been, who is the attacker here? if you can determine who is screaming for help you know they are not the attacker. that's why the identification is considered crucial. the defense in this matter is saying, wait a minute here, that particular phone call, there was so much noise in the background, it's hard to discern. they question the science. they say you can't tell who is screaming, 100% identify who it

is. they don't want the analysis heard in the courtroom. the last expert to talk was george doddington today. he refutes what the prosecution says they can identify. listen. >> there are no worthy judgments or decisions that can be made on this data. this is the worst -- this is the worst possible forensic example. >> the judge has not said whether or not it will be allowed for the analysis to take place. they have continued this hearing. it will have to wrap up presumably next week after jury selection but before opening arguments. >> interesting. we are not talking about whether the tapes are admissible, but simply the analysis as to whether the potential jury will hear analysis of the tapes. >> right. the experts that have come forward for the prosecution,

there is one in particular who not only said he could identify the voices who was, for instance, begging for help which he says is trayvon martin, but some of the language used which is something nobody has ever been able to discern. only this one expert. if george zimmerman is maintaining it's self-defense, i was under attack, i had to shoot the 17-year-old, if it's shown the voice screaming for help is trayvon martin that really greatly damages that kind of defense. >> all right. martin savidge, thank you very much again. jury selection scheduled to begin on monday. appreciate that. meantime, the white house has announced a major agreement with china on global climate change oh. it comes out of the summit in california between president obama and chinese president xi jinping. the leaders agreed to work together and with other countries to reduce the consumption and production of hydro flur carbons. they discussed cyber security

and hope to improve relations between the superpowers. the government is mining the data of millions of phone calls. we are talking about the u.s. government, through an agency that moves in secret. now all eyes are on the national security agency. coming up, we dig into the nsa. [ male announcer ] this is bob,

a regular guy with an irregular heartbeat. the usual, bob? not today. [ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes.

new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options,

don't know. we keep finding out more information about what we don't know. it comes down to your data, your privacy and what you are sharing on a regular basis. we broke it down for you. check it out. >> what we learned is that there is a program. the program is basically designed to get information from silicon valley companies. >> reporter: tech companies like google, microsoft and facebook deny knowledge of prism run by the national security agency. according to classified documents on oh taned by the washington post, prism collected data from nine major tech companies. at the heart of the matter, data mining. >> it's the process of taking huge sets of data, information about what you have done, what you bought, all of this information that by itself would be hard for a person to make sense of. applying computer algorithms to it to pull out information. you can see that would be useful for national security agency, for example. >> reporter: it's a common practice, but one users were

shocked to hear about when the leaked slides give a look at how far the nsa was able to go. >> the slides mention e-mail, photos, for example, you upload or took on your phone and were uploaded to, for example, apple servers snrk all of the companies mentioned denied granting the government sweeping access saying they took user privacy seriously and will only share information when there is a court order. how could the nsa gather the information without the company's knowledge? >> one of the conjectures people are making is they are tapping into the data that goes over the wire. >> reporter: the director of national intelligence, james clapper, says the law covering such surveillance, quote, cannot be used to intentionally target any u.s. citizen, uh any other u.s. person, or anyone located within the united states. when you have a privacy scare like this the next step is people say, hey, how do we prevent this from happening? there is no easy answer. in short it's very difficult.

but there are alternatives. >> there are a bunch of tools people can use. there is one that's been developed with state department money for use in arab spring countries called a red phone. it's supported by the state department and other ngos. >> reporter: as users try to understand how to protect themselves, silicon valley is under fire. >> these companies may be held accountable. i also think some subset of the population are going to think twice before they store certain private files with these companies. >> reporter: i should mention just now we have a note from james clapper, director of national intelligence and he's declassifying information. he says prism is used to facilitate the collection of data. he said it's not data mining. we are hearing from all sides. but, you know, the reason it's got a lot of hype was the washington post initially said

the government is going directly to the servers. well, that may not be the case. we're hearing it isn't necessarily the case. they have to have a court order. so that's what we are hearing now. we'll keep you updated with anything coming in on this. when it comes down to it, it's our privacy. you know, you look at this stuff and we say we need more transparency. you have a big scare factor here. >> all right, laurie seagal in new york thank you. >> thank you. this just into the newsroom. a grim sign possibly in the search for a missing teacher in louisiana. police say they have located the car of terrilyn monette in a bayo oh u. there was a female body inside. she has been missing since march. u'd do that for me? really? yeah, i'd like that. who are you talking to?
