following breaking news right here on the "cnn newsroom." in the "cnn newsroom." a couple of stories for you. first one here in the u.s. more details on a shooting spree that happened in the past couple of hours kansas city in the neighboring overland park, leyland, kansas, the gunman opened fire on people at a jewish community center filled with children have families, and the killing did not stop there. news conference scheduled to start at any moment now on cnn. we will bring that to you. again, three people died in this shooting. two of them at a jewish community center, the other one at a jewish retirement home. cnn's george howell gathering details on this orrhorrific sto for us. >> reporter: please interrupt me as we're both monitoring the news conference from the chicago bureau. if you see it come up, of course we can get into that.
3:02 pm
waiting for details from investigators about what they know. three people killed in the shooting, happened on two different locations. again, jewish community center of greater kansas city and at an assisted living facility. at this point, we understand building put on lockdown. a lot of people in the building, at the jewish community center. many teenagers were there for a dance recital, dance competition, when the shots rang out. people were told to go to the locker room. told to get on the ground, seek shelter. we understand one person, a person of interest, has been taken into custody. we're going to go now to the news conference. i believe we have some sound from the overland park mayor. if we can go to that and take a listen. today is a tragic shooting of three people that marks a sad day in the city of overland park. the city of overland park, along with local and federal law enforcement agencies, are actively investigating this case and it's believed there's no
3:03 pm
additional reason for concern at this time. it is during tragedies that we, the community of overland park and the greater kansas city community, need to pull together to ensure the safety of all. rest assured law enforcement agencies are doing everything they can to solve this. thank you. >> i'd like to echo the words of the mayor. on behalf of myself and member of the overland park police department, today is a very sad and tragic day and certainly, there are no words to express the senselessness of what's happened this afternoon. as you might imagine, we are only about the three hours into the investigation. consequently, while there's a lot of innuendo and assertions flying around, there's little
3:04 pm
hard core information. but we will try to provide that information as we know it, and we will try to debunk ordeal with any rumors that you might have heard or think are established. again, i caution you to understand, there's not a lot of information that we can verify at this point in time. i cannot and will not speculate on conjengs tur. what we do know is with the initial call came into dispatch center 1:03 p.m. and that first call regarding shots fired from a jewish community center located at 5801 west 115th street. several shots were fired at that location, and witnesses stated the suspect left the location soon after. there was one immediate fatality at that location, and this is in the back of the jewish community center, and then there was a second person in that same area, probably in the same car, who succumbs to his injuries at the hospital.
3:05 pm
several minutes later, we received a call from a second location of shots fired the village shalom retirement center, and there's one fatality at that location. suspect was taken into custody by our department, without incident, and in the parking lot of valley point school, 123rd and lamar. at this point in time we have three confirmed fatalities. basically, that's confirmable information we have at this time. i will answer any questions. i ask that you address them either to me or my guest, the special agent in charge of the fbi whom we've requested come in and be part of the investigation. as mentioned before, if you have questions about prosecution, we have both the state representative and mr. steve howell, the u.s. attorney, mr. barry grissom. with that, i'll answer what questions i can. >> is this considered a hate crime? >> it's too early in the investigation to try to label it. we know it's a vicious aren't of
3:06 pm
violence and you know, obviously, at two jewish facilities one might make that assumption. we have to know more about it. >> can you confirm, numerous reports suspect, sitting in the back of the patrol car said heil hitler? >> the suspect in the back of the car made several statements, we are sifting through and vetting those or accuracy, number one, and, two, looking at them from evidentiary value. too early what he may or may not have said but we're trying to determine what that was. >> tell us anything about the suspect, male, age, race? >> we have a suspect. i caution tto understand, suspe not convicted, they're people of interest. this gentleman is in his 70, a white male. he has a beard. outside of that, there's not a lot i know that i can confirm. we're not releasing his name at
3:07 pm
this point in time until we have the opportunity to do more investigation. >> injuries? any other injuries? >> three fatalities, two individuals who were shot at, one extremely close, one was not hit, so we have a total of five people shot at. we have the back doors of the community center, which sustained substantial damage. not certain if that was bullets that went past the original victims or deliberatery created. >> did -- was the fourth person injured? >> no. the bullet passed very close to them but did not injure them. >> is the suspect local? >> no. >> can you tell us what weapons he used? long rifles, guns, multiple guns? >> the only thing i know for a fact at this point in time is that there was a shotgun that was involved. we are exploring the possibility that a handgun was involved in the shooting, the two persons
3:08 pm
that he missed and the possibility of an assault rifle. >> any way the suspect ended up shooting the -- >> at the back of the community center, if you're community with the community center,s a theater. that theater has large double doors that allow people to come in and out and exit during periods of time when the center's closed. it was in the parking lot, at a vehicle we believe belonged to the initial victim, right there in that parking lot. >> in the circle? >> yes. well, i can't say it's in the circle but close to it. >> in his car and shot in the car? >> i don't know specifically. he was at the car. i can't tell you if he was sitting in it or -- >> the second person was either at or in the car, too? >> yes. >> the location? what about the second location at the retirement -- >> i believe it was in the parking lot. >> an employee? >> i don't know. >> so we understand, person not
3:09 pm
with the shotgun outside the car. >> a shotgun was involved in the first one. whether other weapons were involve, i don't know. >> is the fbi calling in additional resources to investigate the case? >> at this time, no. we're working right here out of our kansas city office. >> any other suspects being looked at? >> as the chief said, it's entirely to early to comment on anything like that. we're just hours into this investigation. we're going to work jointly with the overland park police department. >> the chief said the suspect is not local. tell us where the man is from, what area, what part of the state? >> he's not from kansas. outside of that i'm not at liberty to say. >> from missouri? >> not at liberty to say. >> we have no indication he knew the victim. we have no indication that he knew the victims. >> did he know -- was he known to you all in. >> he was not known to us until today, to the police department. >> chief, i want to make sure i
3:10 pm
understand this. all shootings did occur outside. >> as far as i know, yes. >> wasn't there some audition process going on inside the theater? >> there was, in that general area, yes. >> injured, hearing that it was a teenager, one of the injured? >> i don't know that yet. >> can you tell us if there's anything else of the car, other weapons, manifesto, writings, bumper stickers? >> there are other things in the car, some things we consider to be evidentiary, but until we have a chance to vet those and work with the prosecuting attorneys involved from their evidentiary value and evaluate that, we're not at liberty to say what. >> if you look closely at community center, always securing things for them, after reason hate crimes in part of the state, you work with them to ensure their safety. this has got to hit home for you as well. >> it does. the community center has really,
3:11 pm
really worked hard to maintain a safe environment. we've worked with them. it is -- it is somewhat a personal tragedy. >> any -- anything leading up to this, something may have happened? >> no. this was -- you know, unexpected. if we had the slightest hint something would have happened we would have done everything to stop it. >> any other firearms, any other munitions in the car? >> i cannot speak to that, as i said. we're going to have to vet and evaluate things that we find in the car and look at them from how it stands as evidence and evaluate what it means. that's currently under way. i don't have that information. >> the crime lab, where -- >> we have access to the regional crime lab, i think they're participating. access to the crime scene
3:12 pm
processing. >> between this guy and either center, jewish community center -- >> not that we know. >> -- did he ever go inside the two buildings, chief. >> not that i know of. to sayers a big, broad term. he may have been in it at some other today. not today. >> first two occurred outside the theater of the jewish community center? >> to the best of my knowledge. >> the third occurred in the parking lot of village shalom retirement? >> best of my knowledge. >> minutes later. >> yes. >> did you hear reports he was there? how was he apprehended? >> he was apprehended, after the first incident that we had, the second incident followed closely behind and we immediately understood we had an active shooter, and went into our active shooter protocols and began to search for him, with the best information we had. we saturated the area. two officers found him in the school parking lot. >> do we know the age of the victim, by the way? >> we do.
3:13 pm
but again, i'm not at labibertyo point that out. this is unique circumstance, by now many local family members may have been notified but this is becoming a national story. i don't want to put out any information about the victims until we're certain of people identified. i'm not going to comment. >> what weapon was used at village shalom? >> i do not know. i don't know. >> reports going around some people at one of the two facilities that actually seen the man before, it may be hearsay, have you heard anything about that? >> i have not heard that. it's not impossible. if a person preplanned and deliberate, surveillance would have been expected. but we've had no reports of that, and i have no way of knowing if anyone has indicated that. >> if he's not from here, any idea as to how long he has been in the area? >> no. >> where is he now? >> he's in custody at the county
3:14 pm
detention center with the sheriff. >> of the two injured, i'm unclear, two shot at, one in the hospital. >> person who went to the hospital succumbed to his wounds. >> so -- >> three fatalities, two that are not injured. >> two uninjured. >> but five shot at total? that would include the two uninjured. >> yes. it's all of victims we know. >> sorry, the fbi is investigating hate crimes. are you investigating that angle? >> of course, we are. we're investigating it as a hate crime, as a criminal ability. we haven't ruled out anything. i don't want to say the terrorism word, this is three hours into it. it's only wise and prudent we use every resource we have, fbi has been our faithful partners for many, many years. i'll tell you, this isn't unusual they help us with cases with significance and resources
3:15 pm
we don't have, for a variety of things. >> chief, do you expect the person -- [ inaudible ]. >> it's so early on in this process, it's not a decision that we've made at this point. we will definitely let you know if any decision on the prosecution side will be made. barry and i will talk on a number of occasions. it's a joint state and federal investigation. we'll keep you in the loop. >> tell us about -- unless -- is it a hate crime or what's the federal rule? >> as chief said, it's too early right now. what steve and i are going to be doing, as evidence comes in and collected we'll sit down with offices and assistants and decide which avenue would be the most prudent to pursue. >> the fact if he did come across state laws would it make federal -- >> no, sir. just across the state line, no, sir. >> any jewish community centers prior to this that you are looking at or maybe going back
3:16 pm
through -- >> not that i know of. >> are you increasing patrols around the center after? >> we're not going to give specifics of the tactics that we will be employing. i can tell you as much as this, immediately, when we had the active shoot, we dispatched vehicles to secure and survey all of the active jewish facilities within the city and many other religious institutions, which are not jewish. as to what we continue to do from this point. all i can say we will do everything necessary to try to continue to be safe and keep people of the city safe. >> any reason to believe there's any connection to the holiday, passover holiday tomorrow, monday? >> you know, it's hard to say. easy to speculate and start drawing conclusions and put lines to the dots but it would be unwise at this point. >> again, for clarify, two missed, both at community center, correct? >> i don't know for a fact, but i don't think they were at the community center. i'm not certain.
3:17 pm
i don't want to comment on something i'm not certain about. >> give us the genders of the victims, male, female? >> two males at the jewish community center and one female at the other center. two males at jewish community center, one female at the beth shalom. >> was she a staffer or a client or -- >> i honestly -- i do not know. >> have you had a chance to interview the suspect? are you doing any discussion with him now? >> i'm not at liberty to say. >> i don't know if anyone's asked this or if you've ruled out, i have to ask, any connect to the shootings on the highways in the past couple of months? >> it's too early to tell. we have no active information that would lead us in that direction but the investigation's so early, as you might imagine, we will be working with the kansas city, missouri, police department to
3:18 pm
cover any lead. if that's a possibility, we'll be looking at what they have. one more question. >> do you think this could be connected to david [ inaudible ]. >> we have no reason to believe that. there's no information or indication. thank you very much. >> okay. the mayor and the police chief. the police chief really leading the press conference. it's horrific. you know, as a rabbi said, the timing could not be worse. it's the even of passover, passover tomorrow night and this is happening at two jewish facilities, community center and retirement home. what we have learned about that, i want to say, my colleague, george howell listening, making his way to kansas city as soon as they can. they're confirming there are three people shot, two males, from the community center, one female at the retirement home. and here's exactly what they said, 1:05 p.m. received calls from the jewish community center of several shots fired.
3:19 pm
they obviously made their way to the community center. some of the witnesses left, obviously ran, they were atrade. one person shot in the back of the community center, either person shot also in the back of the community center but in the car. they believe the person shot was possibly in the same car or riding in the same car as the other person, both people in the same car, they believe. then, this man, who they confirmed now is in his 70s a white male with a beard, got into his character went over to the jewish retirement center there, shot a female, and say the suspect is not local. he was not known to the police department. they said a shotgun was involved. checking the possibility that a handgun may have been involved and also assault rifle may have been involved as well. the suspect, again, as they say, left the community center, got back into his car, and then got into his car and went to the retirement home and shot a woman. he made several statements in
3:20 pm
the car. they won't say what they are, looking into the that. again, five people and this is a quote, shot at, five people involved here. he missed two. he hit three. one of the people taken to the hospital and succumbs to their injured at the hospital. bullet holes, we're told, in the back door of the community center, one of the people shot at close range. again, looking at all possibilities. whether it is an act of terrorism, just a criminal ability, whether it's a hate crime. george howell listening to the press conference. they gave a lot of details. again the man's in custody. talked about just for background, one of last questions they were asking about the tree angle -- triangle shootings in the kansas city area, mostly on the interstate, kansas city drivers. they don't know if it's connected but look agent possibility.
3:21 pm
back to this one. gave a lot of details and it's horrific. >> don, you know, when you hear what the officials said, when they described it as tragic and sad, very difficult situation. keep in mind this on on the eve of a jewish holiday of passover. three people shot and killed, that one person that person of interest, now in custody. as you described, a white male in his 70s, not from kansas, also as you mentioned, and not known to police. that's important because you heard one of reporters asking, have you ever heard about this guy, any background on him? this is a new suspect for police there. also as far as weapons, a shotgun was used, possible handgun and also a possible assault weapon used. also reports of statements that he made after all of this was said and done, after he was in the police car. police making the point very clear, they are not confirming any of the reports until they have more time to look through
3:22 pm
the information, the statements they're getting from witnesses. only some three hours into the shooting incident. also important to point out what was happening there at jewish community center. a lot of people in the building. a dance recital, a dance competition happening at the time, many teenagers were there. and what we under stand from our sources, that the teenagers were all told to get on the ground, told to go into the locker rooms, seek shelter, as the shots rang out. again we know a total of five people shot at but lthree peopl killed. >> thank you, george. police said they have no indication that they knew any of the victims. he's not known to the police department there. all of the shootings that took place, two people killed at community center, happened outside. the woman killed at retirement center happened outside as well. we'll continue to follow this developing story here, breaking news story on cnn, three people shot at two jewish facilities,

3:29 pm
including one 100 miles from the russian border, is definitely the handiwork of russian authorities behind it. >> it has all of the tell-tale signs of what we saw in crimea, it's professional, coordinated, nothing grassroots seeming about it. i think we've seen the sanctions can bite and if actions like the kind that we've seen over the last few days continue, you're going to see a ramping up of the sanctions. >> if the violence increases and developme development occur in a certain way there will be sanctions but individual countries such as u.s. upgrading sanctions on russia. with russia holding a veto here, there's no way that any united action will take place tonight or the foreseeable future here at u.n. security council. we may have russia telling security council why it may have to take action, feeling its own citizens are under attack. ukraine and western countries and those on the security council believe russia's

continuing to follow break news from kansas city area. according to witnesses a man opened fire outside a busy jewish community center, killing two, one a teenager, the man then drove to a jewish retirement home where police say he killed an older woman. i talked to the police chaplain in overland park, kansas, a little while ago. >> he's apparently an older gentleman and asking people, before he shot, if they were jewish or not. person identified themselves at village shalom being jewish, he
3:34 pm
then shot. >> the police chief in overland park spoke to reporters a few minutes ago. he said the suspect, in his 70s, is not local and don't believe he knew any of his victims. they also said he made several statements in the back of the car and they are checking into that. urgent u.n. security council meeting held in hours at russia's request, to discuss escalating violence in the former soviet republic. ukraine's president says he won't stand for another crimea scenario inside his fragile nation. pro-russia separatists in eastern ukraine have until monday to back down. russian's foreign minister says ukraine needs to stop waging war on its own people. is ukraine on the verge of a bloody civil war? joining me congressman adam schiff. you visited ukraine and believe u.s. and world -- and the world must do more to help the
3:35 pm
ukraine. what specifically should the u.s. be doing right now? >> when i was there just a couple weeks ago, ukraine was worried about what happens happening, russians would provoke violent confrontations on the streets and use it as a justification to invade. and i think the u.s. needs to do a few things. we need to step up our sanctions, and that means really trying to get europe together around sector wide sanctions if the russians further incur into ukraine. sanctions on their energy industry, banking industry, things that would cripple russia's economy. and now this is going to be hurtful to europe as well. it won't be great for us either, but if europe and united states are serious about deterring further russian aggression, we're going to have to go with sector wide sanctions. i also think we need to afford to deploy nato assets to aur allies to give level of
3:36 pm
confidence we'll stand behind article v of the nato treaty, an attack on any nato countries is an attack on all nato countries. these are a couple of steps to take in addition to the financial support we're giving ukraine. >> what good would that do? we saw in crimea after that, sanctions were threatened, have been threatened for russia for a while. vladimir putin, it doesn't seem to matter to him. what good will any of that do if he doesn't care? >> i think the problem has been the sanctions have been too mild, too target-specific, going after a fuel of the oligarchs that haven't hurt the russian government or the russian people. sector wide sanctions, on the other hand, would cripple russia's economy, make putin pay a price and take the luster off 0 his bellicose foreign policy. right now the russians applaud what putin is doing. if the russians got to feel the
3:37 pm
economic impacts they might decide this is not a great course for russia after all. only thing putin is going to respect is strength and i don't think we've shown it significantly in the response yet. i think it's regrettably going to be necessary. >> do you remember, after the invasion of crimea, and when we talked about sanctions and that he threatened to seize assets of u.s. companies, seize u.s. property, in russia, and so again, i ask, if you know, if he done care, what can we do, other than sending troops? >> well, we're not going to send troops, but i think he does care. if the sanctions are severe enough it will have an impact on him. but right now he doesn't think the u.s. and the west is going to step up to the plate with something that will also hurt them because in this global economy, you can't have only a one-way impact of sanctions but they'll hurt russia more. i think it's necessary. i think it would be a deterrent.
3:38 pm
and i think if we want to prevent a third kind of territorial invasion, you know, after georgia, now ukraine, we're going to have to get serious about imposing substantial costs and repercussions. we have the power to do it. we and europe have the power to do it. the question is, do we have the will to do it? i think putin right now questions whether we have the will to step up to the plate. >> thank you very much. really appreciate you taking time, congressman adam schiff. appreciate you here on cnn. breaking news in kansas city and ukraine, but we're not forgetting about the search for flight 370. latest straight ahead. peace of mind is important when you're running a successful business.

3:43 pm
aviation and analyst, miles o'brien. david, you first, is this search showing the expansion of this search, is this showing the limitations of the malaysian government at all? >> i tie it to the fact, there's more drift, they haven't found anything, they have to look in more areas. disappointing they haven't found something but it's a matter of not having any choice. >> we don't have -- we don't these type of searches of, but when they woo do, it's important, make me wonder about the technology. is it common for countries to have this technology. >> it's rare and it's expensive. it's expensive to bill the bluefin 21 or have a ship out there and searching. until now that exitnology's fairly rare and spread around the world. yeah, it's difficult. >> should malaysia be asking for

more assistance from other countries? >> i've always felt that from the again the malaysians should have called in the cavalry, as it were. a lot of disorganize at the outsite and it persists. at this juncture, i don't see a huge resource problem. we have a solid location where the pingers are, we have the right assets on station as it were, trying to listen for pings and ultimately a device that we'll be able to create a sonar map of the sea floor. convenient actually they'll need another device to get the black boxes but that's some months off at the rate we're going. for the air search, i wonder what point, given the fact that pingers have been located and there's a high probability there's wreckage there, i wonder what point they will sort of scale that down. that's a tough anything to tell families, but that might be something that is in the cards. >> right. but that's a reality, it's going to have to happen at some point, very good question.
