"piers morgan live" is next. this is "piers morgan live." welcome to the viewers in the united states and around the world. breaking news tonight, it's happened yet again, another school shooting. this one in centennial, colorado, eight miles from combine and 16 miles from aur a aurora. on the eve of the anniversary of sandy hook, two wounded, one seriously, a student at arapahoe high school took his life. many against illegal guns say it's astonishing. the 28th shoot school shooting

in america since handy hook. i want to go to centennial, colorado, summer, first of all, i'm sure it's been a shocking day for your and your classmates. tell me where you were when you realized there was a shooter in the school. >> i was right across from the library in a hallway where the shootings were going on, where the shoots were fired. i was in the ap gov class and discussing supreme court cases and we heard what sounded like a firecracker going off. we were like wait, what was that? two more shots were fired and we automatically went through the drill where my teacher locks the door, my teacher turns off the lights and get in the corner and we sat there praying. >> did you know the shooter or two students injured? >> i believe i knew them both, but i'm not going to talk about them right now, other than that

my friend, who was shot is in my prayers, and i hope everything gets back to normal soon and we can go on. >> we have heard that one of the more seriously wounded students may be a female student. is that the friend you're talking about? >> yes. >> and do you have any idea on her condition? have you heard anything? >> no, i have not, and i'm praying for her and her family that she's going to pull through. >> it's obviously every student's nightmare, there have been 28 school shootings since sandy hook, what has been the reaction from your classmates to what has happened today? >> i think -- i don't -- i'm personally shocked. i think they were all shocked. you could look around the room that i was in and see in everyone's eyes they didn't register what was going on. it was like you're in shock. for me, i'm mad this had to happen my senior year and my senior year gets to be scared by

this memory a bit and that's frustrating to me. >> i want to play a clip from alex ya, a senior at your school. listen to this. >> it was terrifying because we heard gunshots and dana came running down the stairs and saying someone has been shot and they all went into a room, and she went into shock. and now we're all just terrified. >> i mean, summer, this happened so close to columbine, aurora where two other massacres occurred. what do you feel about colorado, not just colorado but all these shootings, what do you feel should be done to combat this? >> i would like to see some change done. i think -- i don't know how many more times people need to die, how many more students need to be terrified to go to school before a change is made. i think people shouldn't have access to these weapons all the time and people -- there needs

to be something done. if nothing is done, these things are continuing to happen and i just don't see a stop to it and it sickens me. >> summer, i'm very relieved you're okay and thoughts and prayers of evening with your friends injured and i appreciate you coming on the show tonight, thank you. >> thank you so much for having me. >> arapahoe high school is eight miles from columbine and 16 from auro aurora. with me, the parents of a daughter killed in the movie theater and alex killed in that atroci atrocity. sandy, i've spoken to you numerous times now in the wake of shootings like this. this is right back again in colorado not far from aurora. what are your thoughts on what happened today? >> you know, piers, it's to the point where i think every american in this country understands that we have to do

something, and there are steps that we can take to prevent that kind of thing from continuing to happen. i think about the damage that we're doing to our young people, and the violence that they are witnessing at such a young age and what that is doing to their psychos. i certainly don't want to be participant of a country where our children are desensitized to this violence, and it's a fear, a very real fear that i have. >> it's quite extraordinary, isn't it, there have been 28 school shootings since sandy hook alone in the last year. you've obviously been talking out about this ever since what happened in aurora and the awful death of alex. what do you think should be done to try and combat this, this culture of gun violence? >> i truly hope that congress

will finish the job. we've -- america has been asking for them to at least pass a background check law to get this -- to get this under control. i mean, i keep hearing about their agendas, about how they think about we need america, we need america to be in a place for our children's future while one of my children does not have a future anymore. we need to get down to basics, and they need to take responsibility, and think about the safety of our children and of courour families and america >> let me turn to your lonnie phillips, do you think if ever american had to endure the appalling grief that you and your family had to endure at the loss of your daughter and indeed, karen, at the loss of alex and so many others and so

many atrocities, do you think if everybody went through what you've been through, then change would just come quickly? >> you know, piers, we were at a therapy session when we got the call, as soon as we left. sandy was there today. it doesn't get easier. our congress is not acting. our -- i think eventually they will have to because of the ground swell going on now. every day our ranks gets joined by people like today. another parent lost a child. it's like all of our young people are going. it's the young people that are in this -- whatever has got the grip on our country. i want to speak to hunters and guys that go out there hunt and own guns and i feel like are responsible. i want to plead to you to go home and when you have your gun club meeting, tell all the guys, they need to get locks for their

shotguns, they need to put their guns in a safe place. they need to become responsible gun owners and not just say i'm a responsible gun owner when your gun is laying around somewhere not locked up. we got to start there. we have to take our initiative. we can't wait for congress. too many thinks are happening and going on that can be stopped by the people themselves. we have to act and that's the only way we're going to stop this carnage is act and keep our guns locked up. >> well, i mean, let me turn to you again, karen, there was an extraordinary thing that happened within an hour of this latest shooting happening in a school in america. the nra on their official twitter account actually tweeted this, saying looking for a last-minute gift, look in further than this, a link to their store to buy guns for christmas. when you're dealing with that mentality and somebody at the nra must have been aware, what is your reaction to that? >> my reaction is the american

people are much stronger than the voice of the nra. if we all ban together, all our voices, we have had enough. our voices are strong. if we stay together as one and everyone takes a little bit of their time to speak out against gun violence, i mean, it's getting to the point where it's any time, anywhere and anyone. we're all in front of the gun. i mean, it could happen at any time, and people need to real wise that. >> well, karen, and sandy and lonnie, my hearts go out to you whenever these things happen because it must bring back awful memories, terrible flash backs of the horrors you had to deal with. thank you very much indeed. >> thank you, piers. we'll be right back after this break with some of the other big news of the day and moving on one yore after sandy

unlike so many lottery winners you've managed to hang on to your cash. how have you achieved this double miracle? >> prayer. [ laughter ] >> simple as that, the power of prayer. >> yes. >> obviously -- >> always good to have a good financial advisor, too. >> we'll come to more on how you managed to do this. let's go back to when you won, 2007 you had a pretty tough two years before, you became a foster mother to five nieces and nephews after your brother was killed by a drunk driver and everything changed. you won $112 million in the california lottery. that moment you knew you won, where were you and how did you hear? >> i was having lunch with the kids, and i heard kind of second-hand through my dad, he had told me that i should probably check it because i didn't even check the numbers.

[ laughter ] and decided after a few days, maybe i should, and it was us. [ laughter ] >> i love how happy you are. so many lottery winners end up miserab miserable. you seem so happy. >> i choose to be happy. it's definitely a choice. >> for all those lottery contestants out there, somebody may walk away with half a billion dollars nearly, what is the best advice you would give them. you've done incredibly well to not squaunlter the money and done so much work for charity. you're one of the biggest in america now. what is advice you would give for people to win the lottery and stay happy? >> i would tell them to live their life, definitely, it would put them in a position to be charitable. that's a great thing to do because it always brings that same energy back to you. i'm a believer as you give so shall you receive.

giving definitely helps. but also get some -- a really good tax attorney and financial advisor, someone that is reputable that can help guide you along the way because it's going to change your tax bracket, it's going to change your life, and so you need to be prepared for those things, too. >> well, listen, so good to speak to you and so nice to see someone who is so happy because you keep hearing terrible stories about lottery winners whose lives end up miserable. congratulations belately for the win and for doing so well with it. inspiration to anyone tonight who may suddenly become a billionaire. >> that's my goal. >> one last question, have you bought a ticket for tonight? >> not yet. not yet. i think i'm going to let one of my kids go buy it for me. laugh will have. >> love the fact you're still playing the lottery. that's my cynthia. cynthia -- >> all righty. >> really good to talk to you. thank you.

>> thank you, piers, too. the color of santa claus, yes, you heard me right, let's get to the panel. amy holms, anchor to the blaze.com and thompson and michelle turner, cnn entertainment correspondent and bill warner. bill, start with you. beyonce, this dramatic moment last night, i was watching "the cricket" last night from australia, not something any of you want to talk about or have heard of and suddenly it dropped beyonce say, a new album, 17 videos to go with it. >> yeah. >> an extraordinary marketing ploy. >> yeah, i think it's an extraordinary marketing ploy. you can attract people's attention any number of ways. it comes back to is this worth talking about? beyonce dropped an incredible album. for a full calendar year people thought this album was coming. normal pop stars when they play the half time show, a commercial

with pepsi, all things beyonce did, that's when you put the album did. beyonce did it to silence critics. beyonce say doesn't know what she's doing, she's in trouble, why isn't this album coming out? >> she's also dropping it right before the holidays, so -- >> well, beyonce is always one step ahead of everybody else, isn't she? i had the pleasure of working for her for four years and this is how she rolls. people anticipate and wait for it. it's just as exciting when she brings it out through social media, everybody is talking about it anyway. >> i never had the experience before of listening to an album of first having a critic tell me if it was good or bad -- >> did you listen to it all last night? >> it's incredible. >> bill is right here, because beyonce was facing some criticism for lyrics in the songs leaking and some of the things that people thought she would be doing, the direction she was going was jay-z having a negative effect.

so i think people wanted to see is beyonce still the singer that we think she is? >> let's turn to -- this bizarre story, megan kelly, who is apparently on some little watched cable news show on something called fox or something, let's watch what she had to say about santa claus and about jesus christ. >> for all you kids watching at home, santa just is white, but this person is just arguing that maybe we should -- we should also have a black santa. santa is what he is. just because it makes you feel uncomfortable, doesn't mean it has to change. i mean, jesus was a white man, too. >> you met him? >> no, no. >> all right. >> this seemed to be a baffling dangerous area for megan to go because she's terrific at what she does, but not that controversial. suddenly, we have to be told apparently that santa and jesus are white. >> news flash, santa is fictional, i don't know the races of his evils, but i

imagine very multi cultural. as my mom put it to me today, everyone knows santa is your mom and dad, whatever race they are is the race of santa. [ laughter ] >> exactly right. lots of kids seen daddy dressed up as santa. if they are in a black family, what do think think? who is this imposter? >> who is she to tell us or fantasies, religious believes should be. don't they say they are created in his image? god is a racist, too. >> if you study the bible it says that jesus had feet and arms and legs like bronze and hair like white wool. i don't know many white people. >> there is a christmas song called oh little child of bethlehem and the plane that took me to go there landed in the middle east in israel.

>> you got four white people talking about blackness. that's probably never going to end well -- >> please -- >> the whiteness of potential blackness. listen, i saw -- someone forwarded to me on twitter the day after mandela died, they had a possible on fox news, bear, his show and it's four white people talking about the impact and legacy of mandela. >> the conversation needs to be inclusion. >> the article was about in the first place that the author wrote. it was why can't my santa be included, my version be included in what america or society -- >> also, it's highly unlikely that jesus was conventionally white. he was born 2,000 years ago in the middle east. it seems very unlikely. a pure fact well point of view. >> he could have been a viking. [ laughter ] >> great interview with a lottery winner earlier, so happy. nice to see a happy winner. have you bought tickets?

>> i've been working, piers. >> that's not the answer -- >> i bought a ticket today. >> i'm going to leave here and buy one. >> me, too. >> so you will all buy one. >> it's friday the 13th. is that a good or bad omen. >> make it what you want to. >> i'll play four, four, four, for the four white anchors on fox. >> i don't play. is it just a dollar or has it gone up? >> folks hax revealed it will b white winner. during the break that's on you. listen, good to talk to you, great panel. coming next, robins is back, teaming up a special young man he met right here on our program.

one year after the tragedy. ty robins joins me. was left paralyzed some months later. he was here when i interviewed tony robins. listen. >> i'm wondering if you might be interested in going with me to some of the families of sandy hook and doing what was done for you. i think if you have that experience, it would take you to the next level. you're already doing unbelievably well, i had a chance to meet you back stage. i think it could go to another level. what do you think? >> that's exactly what they did. one year after the devastation, back with me in a reunion of kind. tony robins and nick. welcome back to both of you. a powerful moment, tony when you turned to nick and made that suggest and you both carried it through. tell me about the visit and what

happened. >> well, i was -- i met nick on your show as you know and i was impressed with the way he dealt with things. he was such a center and i had this idea when these issues happen and unfortunately keep happening around the country, it would be great to have a strike force of people who have been through it and made it to the other side. a lot of people think your life won't be the same, it won't be in one way but better in some areas, me telling it sounds like positive thinking bs but if i could train people. nick and i started doing training. he's here in palm springs doing it and ashley, an aurora shooting, she had a 6-year-old daughter killed and she was shot in the stomach while pregnant lost her baby and she's paralyzed. we're working together and went to new town to work with families there that are interested in saying we want to show people you can heal and move forward. if nick can do what he's done, we have no problems, you can

deal with any problem you have by contrast. >> nick, what was the trip to new town like for you and how did you communicate with the people there about what hope they could have going forward? >> it was a very powerful event. we introduced ourself, told our story and, you know, i feel like i got a lot out of that, and i feel like the other families, they got a lot out of it, too. you know, you can feel the connection in the room when you're talking to, you know, survivors, survivors' families. it's a connection i feel is necessary to move forward. >> you're a motivator in america. this must be hard to try and

tell families whose loved ones have been killed in such an appalling manner like new town or aurora, wherever it may be to get them to see any light at the end of this tunnel, where do you start and how effective do you think you've been to help them with that process? >> first of all, i'm not about motivation. i know that gets cast around but i'm under the psychology of what drives somebody and how they can deal. study haves been done on posttraumatic stress and growth. how people have been through the most horrific experiences a hue ban being can imagine and help people. that's my passion. the way i help people is try to empower those to make that trons formation. one of the ways you do it quite frankly is contrast. what's the problem? you think being in traffic is a problem until your car breaks down. that's a problem until you trip

on the way to the gas station and break your ankle. that's a problem until you find out you lost your job. that's a problem until your spouse is leaving. that's a problem until someone says you have terminal cancer. what's a problem is imperative. i heard you'll have scarlet on your show, scarlet louis, jessie's mom, the 6-year-old when the gun jammed at sandy hook he told the other kids to run, an incredible hero. when people came to help her, they were well-meaning. they would hug her and cry ask say your life will never be better. it will never turn around. you have to deal with this. some part of her know better. she listened to some of my stuff so we hadden immediate connection. we went there to provide contrast with ashley because she lost her kids and ability to walk and someone else lost their child. it's a contrast example. in rwanda, there are on frphansd

this young girl, a million people were killed in 90 days, family members, friends, all her family killed, slit her throat, buried her alive thinking she was dead and then this young woman escaped, dug herself out, lived on grass in the mountain tops for three months while it went on and survived and she told jt and scarlet i have joy because i have found forgiveness and most importantly like nick, i find gratitude in every day. that mystery, i anticipate something beautiful and she says there is joy. hearing that from somebody in rwanda, on orphan buried alive and home burned to the ground, it creates contrast for someone even when they have something horrific happen like sandy hook. >> jt launched a campaign and you contributed $10,000 to that. how has that been going? do you know? >> it's been going great. it's not the money. what we want to do is he saw

this young girl, jt, he was hurting. he was so inspired by her that, i think, 12, 13 years old went out and raised money to put her through college because she's supporting as an orphan, four orpha orphans. he said i don't have the money to do the rest. i said i'll take care of college for the next three years. we'll do that. >> i wish you both continued success, tony and nick. >> thanks, piers. >> happy holidays. when we come back, jessie's mother scarlet tells us how she's honoring the memory of her son. before using her new bank of america credit card, which rewards her for responsibly managing her card balance. before receiving $25 toward her balance each quarter for making more than her minimum payment on time each month. tracey got the bankamericard better balance rewards credit card, which fits nicely with everything else in life she has to balance.

jessie was one of 20 killed in new town one year ago. she joins me in her first prime time interview. scarl scarlet, so good to meet you. i interviewed jessie's dad neil a few times. the last time you saw jessie was a year ago today. the buildup for this anniversary for you and your families must be in ways excruciating i imagine but take me back to a year ago the last time you saw him and what happened. >> the last time i saw jessie, a normal morning like any other. we were getting ready for school and work, and neil was there to pick him up, and i walked him out, you know, a little late for work and he was a little late for school, and was turned to talk to neil about meeting to make ginger bread houses the next day with jessie and i turned around and saw jessie had written i love you with his fingernail in the frost of my car, and little hearts all over

the windows, and i was just so loved, and i knew that was one of life's moments, and so i said, wait right here, and i ran inside and got my camera, came back out, took a picture of him. actually moved -- i remember taking him by the shoulders, loved him over to get him and the message. actually dellating a picture because its over exposed and taking a closeup shot and walked him to the car and kissed him good-bye and that was it. >> when you heard what happened and the full scale of the horror hit home, how do you possibly come to terms with it in that moment? >> well, that was a long day at the fire house, and i think in someways, that was almost a blessing because we spent all day not really having a lot of information, but of course, the longer the time went without jessie, it kind of reality sinking in. so i had a long time to think about it, to think about my life

if jessie wasn't coming back. jt was there with me. >> his older brother? >> yeah, his older brother by six years, so, which -- which in hindsight probably wasn't a good deal -- a good idea but a blessing because i really had to focus on him, and creating peace for our family that day, but, you know, when i realized that he probably wasn't coming back, and we started to get upset, i just said to j.t., you know, if the worst has happened, and jessie isn't coming back, we know exactly where he is, and we know he's in peace and it will be harder for us but we're going t to be okay. >> you were extraordinary since day one of this happening, you were preaching a message to the world of peace and reconciliation, not vengeful, not anger.

how did you find the strength for that because my instinct like so many parents would have been so angry that i would have found it almost impossible to do that. you did somehow. >> i -- you know, i know that feeling vengeful and of course, i have my times now and angry is going down the same path as the shooter, and, you know, i -- meeting darkness with darkness is not a positive thing, so i know that good wins over evil, if we meet it with love, and that's what i'm doing. >> you had this incredibly emotional meeting with president obama very soon after it happened, as did all the parents. you talk very movely in the book. he came and put his arms around you. talk with me about that. not something you probably you ever would imagine doing with the president of the united states and drawn together in such appalling circumstances.

>> no, that was three days after the shooting, and we -- all the families met with him at the new town high school. we were actually the last family that he met with, and it was a very draining and grueling time, you know, just everyone was in agony, and when he came up to our family group. i knew he was tired, surrounded by people, about ready to make a national address and he was so incredibly kind and consit rid. he came up to me and gave me a hug, asked for a picture of jessie. i had one on my cell phone. i gave him my cell phone. he took it, and as he was looking at it, i said i just want you to know that jessie died trying to save his friends. and he looked at the picture for a long time and said i can tell by looking at this little boy that didn't surprise you at all. i was touched by that because it didn't surprise me.

>> jessie was heroic for a young boy at that age, the moment it happened he realized it was a shooter and told the others to run and six of them got out and he saved effectively six lives. when you heard that about him, that must have been some comfort that boy in that horribly dark moment shown such extraordinary initiative and bravery. >> it is. i'm incredibly proud of him. that's the way he lived his life. when i was waiting at the fire house again, thinking of the possibility he wasn't coming back. i knew in my heart he had done something brave if he wasn't coming back. >> when jessie's school work was given back to you after the tragedy, there was a picture, a strange picture, an angel and a bad man. when you saw that, what did you think of it? >> all of his school work was

taken out of his december income chronological order and put in a box and brought home about a week after he died. so my sister-in-laws and i went through the box and found this incredible picture of an angle and bad man. nothing like he had ever drawn and he had drawn this a few days before he died. it was like he had a knowing a spiritual knowing of what would happen. it's actually called, i since found out precognitive drawing. children draw what is going to happen to them, supposedly because they are closer in spirit. >> extraordinary. >> it was amazing and gave me a lot of comfort. >> scarlet, when we come back, i want to talk more what you're doing to honor jessie's memory.

scarlet louis back with me. she's the author of "knnurturin healing love." you and jt, jessie's older brother you went back to your home after the shooting and found more signs from jessie, tell me about that. >> uh-huh.

so the first time that we went back and i think it was to get jessie clothes for his funeral, i saw a note that jessie had written on our kitchen chalkboard and it said nurturing, healing, love and phonetically spelled in 6-year-old handwriting but the message was incredibly clear to me, it was a message of comfort and healing and inspiration for the world. nurturing healing love, those words are in the definition of compassion across cultures. it's now my mission in life to spread that. >> he sounds like a special boy to me. i have three sons, older than me now but i can't remember them doing things like this. they did in their own way but he seemed like an emotional boy in that sense, sensitive to stuff around him. >> he was a bundle of energy, and always happy, always

helpful, his energy would completely fill up a room. he did have the sensitive and loving side, as well, and the message that's actually on his tombstone is have a lot of fun, and that is also a message he left for his older brother. the same day i found new tourtu healing love, went into his room and saw a message and it said have a lot of fun, which was also a prophetic message. we need to have a lot of fun. >> jt as tony robins was telling us became engaged in the row wanda story, powerful and heart breaking and i guess, nothing can put what happened to you in perspective but to think the world is full of horrors. you should be proud of j.t. for his commentme of this.

>> both of my boys are heroes, jessie how he acted and j.t. how he turned into something that's making the world a better place after those rwanda and genocide survivors reached out to j.t., he made a decision that day and said to me that evening, those kids from rwanda reached out to me in love and he drew out a fundraising campaign that night. went to school the next morning, wrote a speech, gave it to 100 kids, stayed after school, stayed with it, and within a couple months, he was able to skype back to one of the orphan genocide survivors, and tell her that he had raised enough money, not only to send her to one year of college, but also to pay for her part of her family's

>> i have teamed up with professor chris cook, the director of western connecticut state's compassion and creativity center. it's the second compassionate university in the country. he and i met with the president, who we explained what we were trying to do, which is bring tools and character values and compassion into schools, and president obama agreed whole-heartedly and said, "and my sister does that in hawaii. so you guys need to link up with her." he followed through and got us her information. >> you went and saw mya. >> we did. so mya is now on the advisory board of the jessie lewis choose love foundation. and invited us down to oahu to join her in her peace conference that she gives every year.

>> we saw another tragedy early this year which encouraged you again to pursue this message of love. it was this young boy martin richard, the 8-year-old boston marathon victim. tell me why he inspired you in particular. >> i was -- after the boston bombing, i traveled up to the lewis brown peace institute in dor chester. that is where little martin's family was from. and i met with tina cherry up there. we had been talking. she had been a great source of comfort to me. and i love what she's doing up there. she does great work. she has compassion curriculum. and on my way up there, i saw the sign that little martin was holding in a newspaper. and it said "let's stop hurting one another." and i just had this -- this feeling that this message coming from the children is that clearly this needs to stop, and we need to start becoming more

compassionate to one another. >> listening to you in this interview, you have remarkable poise. you're so in control. and yet you must have away from this as you suggested terrible days, days just unimaginable grief. how do you find the strength to do what you do, to be out there front and center, campaigning in such a positive way? >> you know, i truly believe that jesse's message of nurturing healing love is going to change the world. and i truly believe that he passed the torch onto me and that i'm supposed to spread this throughout the world. so finding maening in suffering, because there is meaning in all suffering, is obviously what i'm trying to do. i think that i've done that with spreading nurturing healing love. so that's my purpose. jesse and j.t. are fulfilling their purposes. jesse fulfilled his i believe

very bravely. j.t. as well. i'm just trying to be as brave as my boys in fulfilling mine. >> well, you certainly are. it's an incredibly moving book, "nurturing healing love a mother's journey of hope and forgiveness." that's an honor to have you here. so thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> we'll be right back.

every year we recognize cnn heroes. by 2009, cnn hero doc headily continues to provide clean drinking water for people around the world. here's a look at the special sunday night 8:00 eastern. >> we're heading up the river to a little village called la mila grossa which translates directly into the miraculous or miracle. we've got the amazon river and all the tributaries lead into the amazon river. there's water all over the place but that's absolutely filthy. they're bathing, washing their dishes, restroom all there in the same water source. that's the thing that's causing them to get sick.

>> the main reason why we picked this village to work in is because it's basically a community that has the most need right now in this area for clean water. by drilling a well, we were able to hit an aquifer that has access to clean water. right now we got a drill bit and about 50 feet of pipe stuck in the ground. we got to try to get it out. if we can't, it stays in the ground. problems happen, and they happen quite often. so you have to figure out how to get around those problems and to keep pushing forward. >> we hope to hit water. the people hope we hit water. but we're not sure. so we can't make any promises. so all it is right now is just we're going to try our best. >> you can see more about how dock works to combat the global water crisis in "wine and water" a cnn presentation sunday night
