welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. we continue to follow the breaking news out of louisiana. a deadly shooting rampage in a movie theater. >> hello, the shooting took place around 7:30 p.m. local time in the city of lafayette near new orleans. two people were killed and then the shooter turned the gun on himself. seven people are wounded. we understand the shooter is a 58 will-year-old white male.

and that he apparently acted alone shooting at random. >> they say it does not appear that there was any kind of motive at this stage but it is very early in the investigation. >> there are multiple agencies on scene including the fbi all looking into what happened there. movie-goers ran for their lives after hearing gunshots. one witness said she saw some of the victims desperately searching for help. >> we heard people screaming in the theater before they set the alarm. and we didn't neknow what was going on. a lady a few seats down asked if we had a weapon to protect ourselves. i said why. she said there was a shooting. i said how did she know. her friend was at the door and they wouldn't let her in. she took off running saying i can't deal with this. i'm leaving. so i went to see if i could hear or see anything and i could just hear people screaming. so then the alarm went off. we took off running outside.

as i'm running outside, i'm seeing people bleeding on the leg. shot. and i was just like, wow. >> louisiana state police was at the scene. last hour brooks david spoke with us. >> take a listen. >> the suspect vehicle has been cleared. emergency services unit our bomb squad, has taken care of the vehicle. they are inside the theater right now looking at suspicious packages that the canine dog alerted on. once they clear the scene, a few hours, the coroner's office and lafayette state police detectives will start to investigate exactly what took place inside.

>> at least we heard in the press conference, the gunman's body and victims, two of the victims bodies were still inside the theaters. is that the case? >> yes, ma'am. those bodies will not be removed until the coroner gives us the okay to move those. it is a crime scene and active crime scene so evidence is still inside there that we need to preserve and make sure that our case is wrapped pretty tight where we can give the families as many answers as we can. our hearts are just broken tonight and we want to send our thoughts and prayers out to the families that were all affected by this. >> before we ask questions about the gunman here, i want to ask a couple about the victims. we understand from an earlier news conference that one of the victims was released from a hospital. one of the wounded. can you talk to us about the latest count when it comes to

the wounded and also the difficult task that your teams must make when it comes to these death notifications. >> yes, sir. governor jindal did go to the hospital to meet with the wounded and he was actually there when one of the teachers got released from the hospital. he was hearing stories of her heroism and i'm sure we will hear more in days to come. and i'm not sure if any more have been released from the hospital. our investigators along with lafayette investigatesors are at the hospital speaking with the witnesses and the ones who are wounded. >> now we know you have identified the gunman. we only know he is a 58-year-old white male. at this stage i understand you're not releasing identification of the gunman, is that correct? can you give us more information about what you're learning?

>> that's correct. we won't release any information on the suspect yet. we are sending agents to the field to speak with residents, friend family members. we dent want them it find out through the media or our officers possibly getting hurt while speaking to them. so we are keeping his identity quiet right now. and in the next few hours and maybe sometime during the day tomorrow the name should be known. >> sergeant david, just for my own clarification so i can understand you talk about suspicious items inside the theater, is this similar to what you dealt with in the vehicle? is there a concern that there could be an active and dangerous situation inside that theater? >> well we always want it take precaution and public safety is our number one priority.

so liked monson said there was a backpack in there and the dog alerted to and other some small item. we want to make sure that those items are safe and when emergency personnel do go into that they are safe. >> keep in mind this is an active scene in the sense we are going into the theater and looking at more suspicious items trying to determine the nature of that before continuing the investigation. we will keep in touch with the officers and get word and pass that along to you. a reporter there, lany lee cook with the acadianian advocate wagon the scene and she had this to report. >>. >> reporter: at least two of them were teachers. other than that we haven't received notification other than speculation. here on social media. very bnt received confirmation about those that are dead beside ranging from young to told old.

nine were injured. last we heard one was in surgery and kre and in very critical condition. but we have no updates o of other victims. >> amy schumer tweeted this a short time ago. says quote, my heart is broken and all my thoughts and my prayers are with everyone in louisiana. >> and the shooting comes exactlyexactalmost exactly three years later. >> it was one of the deadliest mass shootings in u.s. history. last week a jury found james holmes guilty of multiple counts of first degree murder in that massacre. >> sentencing phase of his trial began this week and it is expected to last about a month. >> the u.s. president barak

obama was interviewed and admitted the most frustrating part of his presidency has been the difficultying tackling gun control. take a listen. >> the one area i feel i've been most frustrated and most stymied, it is the fact that united states of america is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common sense gun safety laws even in the face of repeated mass killings. and if you look at the number of americans killed by terrorism since 9/11 it is less than a hundred. if you look at the number killed by gun violence, it is in the tens of thousands. >> keep in mind this is a month after nine worshippers were killed inside a church in

charleston. >> we spoke with our analyst said trick alex aned a drik alexander and said this will throw gun laws knee the spotlight. >> we feel people should have the right to exercise the right to bear arms but as the president indicated there needs to be a revisiting of the conversation around gun control laws in this country. not to take away the right of good insent gun carriers, if you will. but how do we better protect innocent people in this world. >> what if there is a background check? it surprises me that so many states will sell a gun to someone with no background check what is ever. >> there may be state that night to be tightened but there needs to be conversation on both sides

of the isles. the american people have to stand up in regards to having this conversation. we want the rights of those who carry guns legally and who exercise that constitutional right that they are born with to be able to have that right. but at the same time we got to make sure to keep guns out of the hand of the wrong people. here again, this conversation needs to be revisited and revisited very soon as well so the president's frustration is actually the frustration of millions of americans across this country. there just needs to be conversation on the hill in regards to how are we going to work through this very complex and convoluted issue around gun control. >> so we talk about charleston and chattanooga and this issue of how to protect these soft parg targets or these places that insent people go and these terrible situations. can you protect the soft targ

snets. >> it certainly is a challenge. i think we have each one of these events. we just can't continue to talk about them. we have to take major different types of measures in order to protect our citizenry. you take the case more recently here in chattanooga where we have five u.s. servicemen killed and were not able to protect themselves or each other. very soft targets there at the recruiting site. then tonight, here we are looking a the another soft target. someone who yet to be determined who that individual is. what is the reason behind it. what we see on a regular basis. is it continuing types of gun violence that is occurring in this country and it is becoming more and more frequent it appears. each day, each week each month in this country. that's alarming. we have to have real serious dialogue and conversation about this. >> just explain what the open carry policy p.

i understand this exists in louisiana. on the same law which exists here in georgia. >> and some other states across the country. and exactly that open gun laws. >> what does that mean? >> that means can you carry a weapon on your person openly. in any environment. except where it is designated that you can cannot. i'm not going to contest that law. what i am going to say is that we he need to have further conversation around gun laws in this country and how do we better protect citizens under this country but also making sure that legal gun owners, law abideing citizens in this country have the opportunity to exercise their right as well too. >> and we're going to continue our coverage of the investigation into that shooting. in louisiana. stay with us for that. first isis takes another hit.

>> for the first time turkey watches air strikes on militant inside the country of syria. details on that are coming up. >> also u.s. president barack obama is flying to kenya, a historic trip to the country where his father was born. >> you're watching cnn newsroom. running my own shop has been brutal. but then i got a domain and built my website all at godaddy. now i look so professional i just got my first customer who isn't related to me.

right now, returning to breaking news from lafayette louisiana. three people are dead after a shooting in a movie theater. >> there was a random shooting during the showing of the movie "trainwreck." >> investigators are not releasing the name of the shooter but says he has a criminal history dating back several years. >> other news we're following, turkey's air force bombed isis targets inside syria this morn pg. a day after militants shot and killed turkish soldier. >> prime minister's office said fighters jets launched two strikes on bases. we hear more from cnn producer. >> reporter: the operation that time is concluded but turkish officials are not ruling out the possibility they will carry out

more targeted attacks against isis. saying that they're committed to preserving turkey's national security interest. and turkey targeting isis locations inside syria comes just a day after isis militants opened up fire on a border patrol unit on the turkish syrian border killing one soldier and this is a response to that and turkish officials described it as being a preemtive defensive measure in order to make sure there are no more casualties from the turkish side. >> and we will have much more on this coming up in the next half hour. >> an australian national involved in the conflict in syria is voluntarily returning to australia. according to australia media reports, adam brookeman has been in syria since early last year. >> brookeman claims he was forced to work with isis after

traveling to sir why to do humanitarian work. the father of five told an australian media outlet he fled isis in may, hid out in turkey, and now wants to come home. >> i won't good into the specific details of mr. brookeman's case but i will say that any australian who supports or fights with desh or islamic state, is potentially committing a crime against australian law including our sanctions regime. any australian who is in iraq province sir why or in mosul, in iraq without a legitimate reason is committing an offense against australian law. and any australian who takes up arms with these terrorist organizations or fights overseas is committing a crime against australian law. >> federal police say they and

other agencies have been negotiating brookeman's return. at this stage he has not been charged with any crime. >> man arrested for threatening to kill the u.s. ambassador to south korea. the suspect is said to be in his early 30s. identified only by his sir name, lee. mark lipper was the targeted threat reported by theu.s. embassy in seoul. >> the ambassador was attacked in march by a knife-wielding korean nationalist. >> he was attacked on the face and hand but we understand he has made a full recovery. >> president barack obama is on his way to kenya where they call him their son. >> this is his first trip there

as the u.s. president. and the excitement and anticipation of his arrival is certainly in the air. >> for more on this historic visit, we are joined by robin kril. certainly a country that has gotten a lot of heat due to its human rights record. >>. >> reporter: yes, george. ethiopia of course the ruling party winning 100% of the votes of the election which raised a lot of eyebrows. they also have a number of issues with press freedom, a number of journalists impressoned though some have been released. raising the question he if this was done for the barack obama visit so they can look in slightly better light. but ethiopia as well the reason we he believe president barack obama is visiting here is

because is a country that's the linchpin of this region. leading the fight against terror as it were fighting al shabaab. al shabaab releasing attacks in kenya and one thwarted in ethiopia. when tried to atobaccotack a football game. and a mission that united states european un union earth owner donors give someone to try to stem the fight against extremism in east africa. >> of course before he gets to ethiopia we know the president is traveling to kenya first and he has been there quite a few times before and if a couple of decades ago. did research on his own family history. talk to us about the affection the people of kenya have for the u.s. president. >> well there was a lot of

disappointment that the president wouldn't be visiting the hom of his father, which is in western ken why. kenya. people suspected he might visit his grandmother. now it looks like he will just be staying in nairobi. don't know if that is for safety reasons or logistical reasons. he has a lot on his plate. he will be attending the global economic summit. but we do believe that some members of his family will come for a family dinner. no indications yet which members of the family will be there. however we he are all hoping to see granny sarah at that family dinner. he will did a lot of other things while in nairobi. we understand he will touch on issues of conservation. kenya one of the leading countries of conversation in this region as well as touching on perhaps in the issue comes up

of gay rights as well which could be quite controversial. >> he will have a busy few days. in doubt, so will you. robin kril thank you very much. >> robin, thank you. u.s. presidential candidate donald trump is confident he will get support from the latino community. even after insulting undocumented imgrant. >> trump went to the border on thursday but the trip wasn't without a hick yumcup or two. >> donald trump, on the plane bearing his name. blazing a campaign trail to the u.s. border with mexico. mobs of cameras to catch a series of photo ops that is donald trump behind there and to return the spotlight to the issue that helped make him a surprise force in the republican primary. border security. >> i'm the one that brought up the problem of illegal immigration. and it is a big problem. a huge problem. >> but how much trump actually learned is unclear.

even before trump arrived his tour hit a snag. local border patrol union that invited him, uninvited him for fear it would a look like an endorsement. >> they invited me then were told me want silence. they are petrified of seeing what is happening because they have a real problem here. >> instead, trump went to the boreder with a meeting with officials. the mayor and city manager. >> this man, i'm going to steal him to run something for me. he is fantastic p. >> talking about jeesus building a wall he will get mexico to pay for, he didn't get positive feedback. >> about the way it make the border safe is to build this wall. >> that's a federal issue. and we have our comments on that. >> what is your comment? >> we dent think that's necessary that time. i think there's other ways we can work together with the

federal government. >> still, trump left doubts about whether he stands by his own promise to buld a wall along the 2,000 miles border mile. >> i will build a great wall and will have mexico pay for that wall. in certain sections you have it have a wall absolutely. >> he is still not backing the claim that undocumented imgrants were sent across the border. >> we will show you the evidence. >> screams were heard coming from a louisiana movie theater when a gunman opened fire on thursday night. >> we continue to follow breaking news out of lafayette louisiana. the shooting at a movie theater as it broadcast not continues worldwide at cnn international on cnn us.

hello, i'm lynda kin cade. >> i'm george howell. we continue follow this breaking news story out of lafayette louisiana. >> the shooting happened inside a movie theater where three people are dead including the gunman. the gunman was a 58-year-old white male who died from a self inflicted gunshot wound. >> at this point they believe he act aid lone. they aren't releasing many more detail about the investigation. the bomb squad and canine unit have been investigating the suspect's car. seven moviegoers are wounded and at the hospital at this hour. >> a man across the hall from the theater when the shooting

occurred spoke to cnn a short time ago. >> he was evacuating from the building. he saw people bleeding outside and spoke to cnn earlier. >> the movie just started. it went black and the alarm went off. and everyone was evacuated clearly out of the exit. >> how many people do you think were in the theater? >> in the theater ways i was in probably 75. but the parking lot was full of cars. >> when you came out, how many people did you see milling about? >> a lot. we he evacuated outside the back of the theater. and there were at least a hundred people scrambling out. >> so there were people in the back and also the front parking lot. is that correct? >> yes, sir. >> and you know they are saying there is multiple injuries and you did witness someone who was injured at the scene, describe that for us again.

>> once i came around to the front of the theater where they evacuated to there was a lady wounded in the leg. laying on the sidewalk waiting on the ambulance to get there. >> was there a panic keeper? were people fairly orderly? >> not really. it was kind of a calm scene on the back because nobody really knew what was going on. then like they had one group that came running out of the back. i'm assuming that knew what happened. none of us knew what was happening. and yeah the cops did a great job of keeping everybody calm and evacuating everybody. >> and that witness speaking to cnn's don lemon at the moment. really giving a sense of what it was like you know just after the shooting after everyone ran out. he he said it seemed orderly but we heard from other people that it seemed chaotic. so -- >> a lot of confusion about what was -- what triggered the fire alarm that made people run out. >> some people knew what was

happening and others didn't p. they he just knew to get out of the theater. >> and some thought it might have been special effects from another film. the governor of louisiana spoke ael whyearlier about the shock of thursday night's shooting. take a listen. >> both shocking and frustrating all at the same time. both sad, frustrated and angry. you read about these incidents across our country. you don't think it will happen in louisiana. you don't think it'll happen in lafayette. i got three young kids. they go to movies all the time. they tit is comer break. you don't think when your child goes it a movie they could be in harm's way. when this evening started, it was a regular thursday night for a lot of families he. teachers one last movie before they he go back it school. for a lot of families. one last outing before school starts in several days and couple of weeks. you never think this could be the scene after who roughic shooting. i was angry and upset at the

same time. it shouldn't have happened in our country anywhere. you certainly don't expect it to happen in your backyard. >> taking air force bombed isis targets inside syria today. turkish officials say they launched on two bases and one gathering point. >> this is a day after they opened fire on militant soldiers killing one of them ppt senior international correspondent is now live with us with more on what is happening. fred good to have you with us. first of all, just talk to us about the simple fact that we could see the united states in a position where they can use turkey. what significance would that have? >> oh, it would have huge significance george. turkey is taking a tougher stand on on isis. they had two security issues in the past couple of days. you mentioned the cross border incident where one turkish

shoulder was killed by what turkey said was isis militants. then you had that major attack in the town of zurich where some 32 people were killed. you have f-16 jets going up firing inside syria. the turks saying the jets were apparently still inside turkish air base when they launched missiles and flew back. but at the same time you're right, this could be a major in road for the united states to make it easier for the u.s. to fight against isis. apparently yesterday there was a call between president obama and the president of turkey and a handshake deal was made that would allow the u.s. much better access and much more access to turkish air bases including the very strategic and important one called interlink, a very large air base from which the u.s.

could launch air strikes inside arook and sir why as airaq and syria. it could cut the time jets get into the area of operations by a lot. as opposed to having them launch inside places like inside iraq or in the persian gulf, george. >> important it point out, barbara starr's report earlier, said it best the ink is not yet dry on there. but it is certainly a conversation and serious conversation being had. >> yeah. definitely a move in the right direction. what was this for the alliance and group of aliealliance and group fighting under the u.s. coalition. >> i think it would mean a lot a lot of different ways. on the other hand turkey has been a big focal point in the isis alliance p. there have been some countries

who believe that turkey wasn't doing enough it fight isis. there have been countries that accuse turkey that allow militants to go before its border and infiltrate into the board borders saying they didn't do enough. the kurds believe the turks weren't doing enough. but you have seen tough talk from the turks in the past couple of days. especially with the incident in jur zurich. this could indicate turkey coming on board more than before in the fight against isis. one other thing to keep in mind is there is pressure from the turkish public on politicians as well. an attack taking place and the turks themselves saying our government needs to do more. this is getting out of control. this is key for the alliance against isis for the country

that borders iraq and siryria and take a tougher stand. >> thank you very much for joining us. disturbing report from human rights. unspeakable atrocities that amount to war crimes bp the government forcing attacks killed and even raped dozens of sill sill sillville civilians. >> we thought that women and children would be safe but we were very wrong. that's what 22-year-old told human right watch. she is one of more than 100,000 people displaced in south sudan. latest stage of the long running conflict began earlier this year when the government launched an offensive to retake opposition held territory in unity state. the new human rights watch

report exposes what the group says a war crimes. government aligned forces carrying out gruesome killings and widespread rapes and burned countless homes as they swept across large parts of unity state. the report does note that there is an order to refrain from dlib rit attacks on civilians a enpledged accountability for crimes committed. based on interviews with 174 refugees the report documents dozens of killings of civilians in unity and surrounding states. more than 60 cases of rape including one survivor who spoke of fighters sexually assaulting a girl just five years of age. homes were burned to the ground and livestock stolen. a spokesman for the president of south sudan rejected the accusations telling reuters the groups claims are baseless. still violence and destruction

forced thousands into already overcrowded u.n. camps like this one. many of them women and children who the report says baring the brunt of this conflict. >> we must do everything we can to bring back that hope and promise. that includes respect for each other and living under international humanitarian law and living underneath the rule of law so everybody can fell both projected and have the same opportunities as everybody else. so yes, human rights abuses they need to be understood record of endeded and we need to hold people accounted. >> polio has been eradicated in all but three countries. >> there is still a lot of work

to be done. nigeria needs two more years without a case before being considered polio free. nigeria has a pandemic up until a year ago. what does this mean for the country and region? >> this is an important milestone. not just west niegeria or but for the world. tackling polio to stop it and wipe it out worldwide. and a major milestone in 2012 nigeria has some of highest cases in the world. there was a worry p it would spread from nigeria. the last reports in nigeria and

last year and a small boy, young boy and young village and in northern nigeria, it hoped it would be the last victim of polio in nigeria and really down to the local health work going out everyday to vaccinate children. and massive international aid and support from the foundation like bill gates foundation. and that really is one thing to say is at the moment you have a source and the war in particularly northeast nigeria but spread. and thousands of people have died. health workers are risking their lives. and really left in the world now is afghanistan and pakistan to

try and eradicate polio worldwide np. >> let's hope nigeria doesn't see another case. thank you for reporting on that. very important development. >> absolutely. you are watching cnn kwt newsroom. so much work that even play time is dredgery. >> called into question this is a very interesting. stay with us for it. is designed for your baby's sensitive skin. aveeno®. naturally beautiful babies. what to do when you're stranded in a city and you need a last minute hotel? a priceline tonight only deal! stuck out on the range? nowhere to rest your beard? choose from thousands of hand-picked hotel deals at the very last minute. only on your phone. only from priceline.

welcome back. we continue to cover wreaking news. gathering evidence from a louisiana theater when a gunman opened fire, kel killing three people. >> he killed people and wounded at least seven others. >> investigators are not releasing the name of the shooter and say they have not found a clear motive for his actions.

>> motive of some tradition yl south korean companies seem to be work long and drink hard. ? >> some of the world's longest work days including almost mandatory social time hours with the boss. >> after hours with the boss. but as kathy points out, longer hours doesn't necessarily mean higher productivity. >> opening this bar, still hard work but much more freedom. at his old job it was normal to only take five days off per year. >> if the new guy ask for the holiday more than five days like it i mean the other people think like he is crazy. he he doesn't care about their bosses. >> lee and his colleagues alsoed

pulled many late nights and not always because they are busy. >> even if there is nothing to do they have to wait until their team leader or vice president leaves the office. >> that could go some way it explaining why this country productivity rate remains relatively low even though south koreans work some of the longest hours in the developed world. excessive overtime is the most common complaint on the job forum. >> it was laid out. >> airing grievances on-line because they would never explain to their bosses. >> very military type culture. you always have to say yes to the boss. >> that goes for whatever the boss is requesting. >> the work day may not necessarily end at the long hours in the office. bosses may ask their employees

to join them for dinner and drinks. saying no isn't really an option. even even the bartender thinks it's too much. >> most leaders have to drink though like three times or four times a week. >> it is such a common practice that it was depicted in a popular tv drama, sort of like a south korean version of the office, with fewer laughs. some say the culture is slowly changing. and lawmakers have been discussing what the government can do to curb the long hours. because after all, the odd night out with colleagues can not fun but the morning after is never the most productive. kathy novak, cnn, seoul. >> you are watching cnn newsroom. forget the guide books. we may not be able to call earth the lonely planet any more. >> we apparently have a big cousin out there in space. we will have all of the details on that just a i head. stay with us.

welcome back to cnn newsroom.

nasa's kep lar's spacecraft has spotted a planet that is bigger and older. >> for more on this interstellar discovery, here is our joe. >> hello, earth, this is your long lost cousin in the sear. for a world like ours a break through for star gazers from a galaxy far far away. this is kep lar 452 b. distant relative a little larger, 60% bigger to be exact and more than a billion years older. but it's the distinct similarities between these planets which have nasa scientists extremely excited. it is located within the so-called habitable zone. just like our planet it sit in the area around a sun light star where water can exist on the planet surface.

ity yearits year is 385 days long. the surface may be rocky. >> there could be signs of life. tell-tale signatures of life. and atmospheres of these planet. >> but as for getting anywhere near this potential earth 2.0, probably not in our lifetime. 452b is 1400 light years away and while the kep lar project discovered some 1,000 planets so far, it's also coming at cost of $600 million. so for the time being this discovery may very well be like the long lost cousin who lives that little bit too for away from everyone else. >> way too far away for us to see it. >> for more on this gary is standing by wp could we possibly

reach that planet one day? >> i don't think so. we are talking 1400 light years away. this is the distance that light travels in a course of a year. that's 6 trillion miles. times that by 1400. and that's just too far it calculate, really let's be honest here. the earth criteria it reach said that it is similar size to mother earth. it is a sun-like star and is in the sweet zone of the habitable zone. we take earth for instance we are in the sweet spot, the geldgoldie locks zone as nasa calls it. if we were any close are we would be too hot. if you place an average male on the surface, it would be likely twice the weight of what he would experience here on earth. >> interesting. >> fascinate ppgingfascinating.

i love a good report. >> thanks for watching. >> "early start" is coming up. for viewers in the united states an around the world, cnn continues. . . .
