ps selling apparel, gifts, a musician in a beloved band the figs. her husband called her a true renaissance woman. our thoughts and prayers are with all the victims and their families tonight. thank you so much for joining us. anderson will have much more on the investigation into the movie theater shooting. and "ac 360" starts now. good evening. here we are again just a few weeks after chatanooga reported on the unthinkable trying to come to grips with the unspeakable. we have facts to guide the way tonight. new pieces of information how a gunman opened fire in a crowded movie theater, how he tried to get away and tried to kill more people before finally belatedly taking his own life. we know about the chaos and the panic, the acts of heroism and sacrifice inside the lafayette louisiana multiplex. we know how many shots were fired, who was hit, who died. and we're learning more about what may have motivated the killer. yet for all of the new hard information that we have tonight, to describe both the

horror and one man's twisted path to causing it. there are other facts that matter even more. the hardest facts of all, that jillian johnson will never get to live the long life she had in front of her and neither with mayci breaux 21 years old. a student. her boyfriend badly injured. johnson was just 33 and had more than just a knack for business and music. her friend who you will hear from in this hour describes how how special she was. she could hold up a mirror, he says and show you this is why you are beautiful. our thoughts are with him and with everyone who is missing a friend mourning a loved one or family member sitting at a hospital bedside right now or simply coming to terms with it all. so even as we bring you the latest on what happened and who did it we'll not be saying the killer's name. we begin with our ryan nobles. >> reporter: a moment of horror inside a louisiana movie

theater. >> standing up. running straight down. you could see it like the light from the end of his gun. almost like a flash. >> reporter: police say this man, the 59-year-old shooter stood up in a crowded movie theater, armed with a handgun and opened fire. it was 20 minutes into a showing of the comedy "trainwreck" at grand 16 theater. >> there was blood everywhere. that's when we realized what was going on. so we ran. >> reporter: 21-year-old mayci breaux:the shooter fired off at least 13 round and left the theater before turning around firing again, and then killing himself. officials say the presence of law enforcement caused him to turn the gun on himself. >> he turned it on himself because coming up the hallway and that small theater were police officers coming into it. >> first responders raced to the scene carrying out the wounded. the cell phone video shows an officer and two civilians coming

to the aid of one of the victims. >> there were two police officers who were actually on this property at the time the incident occurred. >> reporter: as the gunshots rang out the injured school teacher managed to reach of and pull a fire alarm. she is being called a hero tonight. officials say one 40 caliber handgun was recovered at the scene. they found wigs and other disguises in the shooter's hotel room. what remains a mystery tonight is motive. >> this is such a senseless, tragic act. why would you come here and do something like this? just like the victims, we're ser sching for answers too? >> reporter: the search for answers continues to be intense as the healing process begins. >> let's talk about that healing process, do we know how the nine victims injured in the shooting are doing? >> yeah anderson. there is hope there. four released from the hospital. five are being treated. one of the victims still in

critical condition. but officials told us today there is hope that patient is improving. anderson. >> ryan nobles appreciate that. state, and local officials talked to reporters this evening about what they saw today inside the theater. they talked as we mentioned about the evidence they have been gathering from the scene and from the, the angry trail, the killer left online and in life. colonel michael edmondson is one of the officials heading of the investigation, superintendent of louisiana state police i spoke with him moments before air. colonel edmondson, i appreciate you joining us. first of all on the investigation what's the latest information you can tell us? >> well we try to put together a piece of the puzzle. this is a very large puzzle. and a lot of pieces out there. trying to determine why the individual was in lafayette, of all places a stones throw from university of louisiana-lafayette. why did he pick the movie theater, buy the ticket why did he go in there? sit in the back row? and then fire directly two people in front of him. why did he move around that.

why was his car parked out to make a getaway? the keys were placed on the tire of the car? why was in a motel # not far from here with wigs and glasses for some type of disguises? where he traveled to in louisiana. we have been all over the state from where we see lead of people saw him in lake charles, baton rouge, been with the fbi, lead all over florida. alabama. every place that we could find out that someone had seen him or someone had talked to him. it was important to us that we follow up on those and try to put this puzzle together. because two people died here. 21-year-old beautiful girl. and a 33-year-old beautiful woman. you know what they had a vision. they had a goal. and you know they had a name. and it wasn't to die in this movie theater right here. so i believe we need off to bring closure to the family. let them know you know what we are not going to stop until we can put the puzzle together and bring closure to you. >> i know you have been inside. what, when you see something like that what -- obviously you are experienced, but it has got

to hit you? >> anderson i walked in there for the first time with the police chief earlier this afternoon. the blood right there where he shot himself and died. a lady hit multiple times in the leg, died. saw where she was lying. i saw where he was sitting in the back portion. walked in. looking up at the, they use the long sticks to go through the bullet holes so you can see them. and sit there and count the bullet holes through the seats where people were sitting to. know he stood of in a location shot the 21-year-old girl in front of him. the boyfriend. knocked over. laid dead. he moved methodically down the side firing throughout that throughout that theater before making his way to the, i saw my kids sitting there. i did. i just saw my family. i watched the police chief, he walked in for the first time. this is his city. and the emotion, i just watched his shoulders drop. because, you know he wants to

fix this. he wants to find tout what isout what is going on what happened. the public feels comfortable. we shouldn't stop our lives because things like this happen. people have to go on about it. i saw all thauf the in front of it. a horrific scene, anderson. been doing this over 35 years. something i have not seen. i have seen a lot of bad bad stuff. this was a horrific scene, why did it happen? that's what we have got to keep our mind together and got to sit there and figure out let's put this puzzle together. it's a mare thovenlt not a 100 yard dash. we have got to work extra hard for the two, those two lady. >> that still is not known. i mean why he picked that theater? did he intend going into the theater with sxt pressthe express purpose of committing murders, mass murders. those are all questions that have not been answered correct? >> there is no doubt that he planned this. there is no doubt. we have diaries that we're

pouring through, that he kept explicit information. we go on his blogs, reading everything we can about him. but he certainly planned this. you had to. he had a gun on him. he purchase the the gun. he had it with him. he had the time of the movie theater. he had the name of the movie itself "trainwreck." he knew all the things. involved. we believe he has been here before. we believe he has been in multiple locations in louisiana. maybe this particular night he said you know what here's the time here's the moment i'm going to act. i certainly want to get into his mind try to figure that out. but we don't have that possibility now. we have to take the evidence at the scene. a lot of innuendoes. a lot of speculating out there. you know we don't do that.facts. we want to sit in front of faptly and tellfapt ly that family this is what happened. this is how we responded to it. and put the puzzle together. bring closure to the community, family and this theater. >> colonel, appreciate your time. and we wish your officer the best. thank you so much. >> i appreciate it. thank you for everything you do. >> more now on the profile that

we are getting of the gunman. again looking for reasons why. not looking to make this individual any better known than he sadly is we are not using his namech. we showed this picture. official are trying to appeal to the public for information, any information anyone may have who this person was and what his motivation. the profile a clear one. an acquaintance of the gunman telling "the new york times" today if you gave me 40 names and 40 pictures of people who might have done that i wouldn't hatch hesitated to point him out. senior investigative opponent drew griffin tonight looks at some of the warning signs. >> reporter: the son of a tax collector, he was educated with a law degree. but mental illness added to a lifetime of hate violence and bizarre behavior. the 59-year-old once ran for public office and in blog postings and editorials expressed stern views that the u.s. was headed downhill a muslim fundamentalist it said it

right and domestic abuse and erratic behavior arrest ford trying to burn down an attorney's office. in 2008 his wife filed a protective order pleading with the court to have his guns taken away. this afternoon the suspect's own brother says the shooter has been out of touch for years. >> you know we had been close in years and i'm not sure of the right, separated from our family and just -- different emotional -- depression issues psychological problems that type of thing. >> when was the last time you saw him? >> probably about a month ago. he just needed some money to continue moving on. living and surviving. so we gave him some. that was the last we heard of him. hadn't heard of him probably in ten years prior to that. haven't heard from him since. we didn't know where he was.

we dent knowidn't know anything about him. this was a complete shock. >> reporter: his mental health declined and seems to have led to divorce, alienation bankruptcies and unemployment. in alabama the local sheriff today said the shooter was e vekted from a home last year left it vandalized. pouring cement in the plumbing and rigging gas lines in an attempt to make them explode. but even with his record and known mental illness there was no legal recourse according to the sheriff off to keep him off the streets. >> the state is aluglowing a lot of these people that should not be walking around to be out in the community. that's a scary sa theiry we are dealing with every day. >> reporter: the biggest missing piece of this mystery is why and how the shooter left alabama and ended up living in a motel 6 in lafayette, louisiana. why he chose to lash out violently this time in a movie theater showing a comedy.

>> drew so clearly he has a long history of mental illness, domestic violence how does he legally pass a background check and buy a gun? >> because the background checks are based on convictions. despite the fact that he was arrested for arson he wasn't convicted. despite the fact he has been arrested and brought in many many time for domestic abuse not convicted of it. though a judge tells him to go get mental help he voluntarily goes for treatment because he is not adjudicated or convicted of mental illness, he just doesn't show of any background check. legally goes into to buy a gun. even though everybody we talk to today, anderson from friend to law enforcement who knew him knew this guy was mentally unstable. >> unbelievable. drew appreciate the update on that. when we come back a young survivor joins us to talk about what she saw. later, a friend remembers jillian johnson.

a more human way to do. we got a sense at the top what went on inside that theater. the state police describing a short time ago what he saw at the scene today talking about the planning that apparently went into the act itself. the killer apparently sought out a popular movie to maximize casualties. what we want to do with the help of tom foreman is electronically

walk you through as much of it as we now know. >> reporter: we know he clearly had a plan. that's the main part. the why, wherefore, we do not know, it was well under way before the theater. seems to have started at the motel some miles away. authorities don't know how he got there or why he was there. they know he left wigs glasses there, apparently going to use as a disguise to get away. as he came to the theater this idea of an escape plan seemed to be fully intact. take a look at the theater. when he pulled up here all indications are that he had changed the license plates on his car. he left the keys sitting on the top of a tire so he wouldn't drop them in the dark theater something like that. he parked right over here near this corner near one of the many exits around here so he could get out quickly. now, when he went inside this theater complex, anderson. he had a choice of 16 different thet

theaters that he could go to. he chose one that was showing one of the new popular movies where he would have a better chance of getting a crowd of people. as it was there were 25 to 26 people in there according to authorities. this was the exit he was parked by here. he went into the theater after biffing a ticket, waited till the previews were over with and the movie started around 7:30 that's when authorities say he stood up and started by shooting the two people immediately in front of him. then he stood at the back of the theater shooting down the slope as people tried to flee anderson. >> i was reading fbi statistics. i think they did a study of active shooting situations over the last many years. and most of them only last for several minutes. do we know how long this whole incident lasted? >> authorities say he was very methodical about the shooting that was going on again over in the part of the movie complex over here. but he only shot one ten-round clip to begin with according to authorities. so that would not take long in the semiautomatic gun even if you were taking your time.

15 20 second. something look that. unless we get evidence off to the contrary. then say he came out the exit we highlighted. immediately encounters police out here on the street who apparently were just there already. he went right back inside. he changed the clip. he fired a few more shots in the theater and then right in this part of the theater he encountered more police officers who were now moving inside. that's when they say he shot himself in the head and took his life. so you are right anderson. probably a very short period of team for all the horrible events to unfold. >> awful. tom, appreciate the reporting, thank you. >> again, people were there last night to spend a couple hours not worrying abut the problems of the world even minor ones. emily mann steps away from the killer in the same row. nobody should have to have seen what she saw or be burdened with memories now. we understand how hard this must be. joined by her father randall. i appreciate both of you taking the time to speak with us

tonight. emily, first of all, how are you doing? >> i am okay. i could be a lot worse. i'm all right. >> you were in the same row as this shooter. had you noticed this person at all? >> no. you know my friend and i got there a little bit late. at that point you tripey to be inconspicuous, find a seat. saw a row, second to the top. a few empty seats. he and i sat, he was closest to the aisle. i sat. there was a seat between me and a couple of girls. and the shooter was on the other side of these girls. i'm not positive if there were seats in between them. i didn't see him initially. >> emily, did you, when you heard the first gunshot, did you know instantly what it was? it is so incon grus to obviously what you were there for? >> yeah well the first shot was -- alone in a sense that after the first shot a second or two passed where he didn't start

shooting again. maybe he was waiting to get the courage up again, i'm not sure. but after the first shot you want to not think that's what it was you. make these crazy assumptions in your head of other things it could be. a kid that snuck in with a firecracker, could have been anything else. after the second shot began, he started to shoot pretty quickly in a semicircle down toward the room. and at that point, you know what it is. you know you have how to get out. and there is just an understanding in the room that you just have to survive and help each other out. i think that's what's special about the community that was in this room. is there was no pushing or walking over each other. i think there was just a -- a camaraderie that this is happening to us. we don't know why right now. but we just have to help each other out. >> so how were you able to to get out? i actually got down to the ground pretty quickly. he was standing after the first

shot it was back behind my shoulder a little bit. and saw he was standing. i saw the lights from the gun. heard the noises. so i got down very quickly. there was a fear that you can't see what is happening but you just know you know where the exit is. and in a since you know that he knows where the exit is too. there is always a risk. so i just started to make my way to the stairs and stay low. and that's when everybody at that point had started to do was just get down. it seemed like he was just going for the easiest targets. his hand was shaking. he was, obviously shooting very much at random. at that point i knew i had to make it down the stairs. a shoe came off. i left my purse. once i got to the end of the stairway. a woman pulled me around. and i got to my feet and started to run with everyone else. >> my gosh. was the shooting constant or was he saying anything? >> i didn't hear him saying anything. there was a lot of screaming at that point. i was just silent.

you don't really know what you are going to do in that situation. >> sure. >> i didn't hear him say anything. i am not sure if he ever spoke. but i did, after the first shot there was a second or two where there was antn't another. people were just silent. just figuring out -- "this can't be what this is." and after that the following four or five shots were pretty quick. aened you just heard them. and you saw the light. at that point. i was down on the ground. >> wow. and randall, i know you, you live close to the movie theater. emily got home. and once you were sure she was okay i understand you rushed to the theater to try to help. you, you are not a medic. you work for the local ambulance company. what was the scene like there? >> we rushed back up for two reasons. i wanted to rush i know they were responding wanted to help out where i could. also her friend that was with us thought they saw the gunman and

maybe they needed a witness if they didn't know who it was. we got back up there pretty quickly. we got here. i heard sirens in the back ground. there were three, four police cars here already. not a whole lot. they were still going into the building. people were still exiting. and as emily said even the whole theater they were exiting in a pretty orderly manner. a few people were being carried out that were injured. we had two ambulances here. so i went to that scene. and we started triaging them and transporting them. but it was tremendous to see all of the local law enforcement arriving en masse and suiting up with assault rifles that were scary to see in your own community. but they had such a professionalism and determination about them that it was really really a comforting thing. the fact that people weren't screaming and panicking and helping each other out, was a little bit comforting as well. >> as emily said it speak a lot to the community that they is that people were helping each other out. and speaks a lot, randall, frankly that you would rush to the scene to want to help and also to you know be a witness

if that was needed. emily, i speckoke to the head of the state police that it's important that this not change people any behavior. that you don't let this person alter your life in any way. that's something i know that's important to you as well. >> yeah well i know -- people from here you know instantaneously. this is a city that loves you back. how we have always been. you know we recently won happiest city in america. there is a reason for thament. there is a love here. so i think we would never let somebody come here and threaten that. it could have been anywhere. it could have been anyone. he could have targeted anybody. there wouldn't have been somebody we would let threaten what we have built here. you know he said we are built, we are a community of people that were exiled from nova scotia. that's who we are, and we help each other. >> maybe just a way of copying. ingcoping.

this is a drifter. he is not from here. he picked us at random. it was totally a random act. it wasn't somebody from lafayette, or from arcadia. it was some nut case from away. maybe it is my own coping mechanism. >> i understand that. thank you so much for talking with us and in the community that is caring for each other right now. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> well with the city in mourning refusing to live in fear as you just hear. we will try to find answers next. talk to dr. drew pinsky and about the gunman's past so many red flags over the years. many asking what if anything could have been done to prevent this tragedy and prevent another one down the road?

today. well there have been prayer vigils already in lafayette. officials say counseling services are being set up. begin monday. the crime scene will be active all weekend. so will the effort to find new and useful facts about the kill

ear er's motivation. joining us now is drew pinski and james allen fox. dr. drew information about the shooter's criminal history, family history, mental health history what do you make of it? >> a lot to be made of it. what jumps out, so often how the system fails people and how the law enforcement system is mental health delivery. and officials are not able to use clinical judgment to protect the community from individual you. had a piece where a sheriff said we have lots of guys walking around here look this. that is the most honest thing in a long time. absolutely true. nothing we can do about it. they can get guns. >> nothing we can do about it even down the road? >> i think empowering physicians to mandate certain kind of hospitalization or maybe reinstitute sort of. [ indiscernible ]

don't think we will do anything about the guns. we live in a world where there is guns everywhere. nobody seems to want to do anything about it. >> professor fox does this guy fit any pattern he is far older than most mass killers isn't he? >> actually there are many mass killers are in their 40s and 50s where they have a long history of frustration and failure. at work in relationships education. it's not just one thing that happens to set them off. what i want to point out here however is that there is a pre filepre -- a profile. certainly. hundred of thousand of people will fit it. we can't go around and round up all the people who scare us we are not going to go around and round up all the guns in america. that is not going to happen. the problem is that these incidents. they are rare is one of the prices that the we have unfortunately paid for the freedom that we enjoy. these guys see themselves as victims. and in fact if we are too

aggressive in trying to identify them which is truly impossible except with hindsight it can actually increase their sense of persecution. and may even precipitate the violent act we are trying to prevent. >> interesting you say you can't identify them except in hindsight. clearly this guy's wife was concerned about his access to guns. she took guns away from him. early on when he seemed to be having mental mental health issues. it seems like the family was aware and worried about threats he made and things like that. >> absolutely. and how many restraining orders are taken out each year? houn dreads hundred of thousand. that's the problem. it is needle in haystacks. not saying he is a well adjusted person. not saying that he doesn't need help. let me also say within of the problems too is we linked mass murder with mental illness. >> right. right. >> increases the stigma. >> why do we want to help the

mentally ill because we care about them or we care about the people they're going to shoot. we should do it for the right reason. >> i would say it is possible to do both. it is possible again if you empower people's clinical judgment. maybe you need multiple people to soon off. >> the reason doctors don't have that ability is because there were so many abuses in the past of this? >> that is exactly true. and the fact is there are potential for abuse in situations. i think the pendulum has gone too far the other way. this guy in miest maegs probably had something relate to schizo-affective disorder. not to stigmatize people with that disorder there are people schizoid paranoid manic, bipolar, they refuse to take treatment. he has been in the system. there are people who could have pin theed this out. >> why can't we at least, like we put that in some sort of. we have a way of alerting abut opiate pain medication. why can't we have a system that alerts people about people who

shouldn't have guns. >> the thing, professor fox because he wasn't convicted though he had been arrested multiple times nothing popped up when you do a background check for a weapon? >> right. in fact most mass murderers get their guns legally. most mass murders do not have conviction record or history of psychiatric treatment private or committed. it is impossible to predict. the risk is much hyperfor someigher for some one look this. >> briefly on this you know one of the things i am a big believer in not using these people's names, we are using the photo right now just because the police are looking for more information about him. you have writ any but this. some a lot of times these people want the attention that comes in the whack of this right? >> absolutely. it could be the theater shooting in aurora and the trial is partially precipitated. but i should say that you have

to be careful about re-enactments and digital animation that you had a few minutes ago. it makes it very dramatic to the viewer viewer. i'm not sure what the value is in that? >> one counter argument to that is for people to know what to do for people to know how to act, actually that's within of the things we will talk to our next guest about to. be continue. james allen fox. dr. drew pinski. >> two high school teachers wounded in the shooting likely helped save other people's lives because they had prepared for something like this. we're told. their story next. unch. why? because red lobster's crabfest is back. and i'm diving into so much crab so many ways. like crab lover's dream with luscious snow and king crab legs and rich crab alfredo or this snow crab bake. who knew crab goes with everything? whoever put crab on this salmon, that's who. with flavors like these, i'm almost too excited to eat! hey i said almost.

louisiana governor bobby jindal called it a story of heroism. two people wounded, high school teachers, jena meaux and ali martin. two women out for what should have been a fun night on summer break the they were both shot. both survived. one jumping in front of her friend to shield her. after being shot in the leg one of the teachers pulled the fire alarm which jindal said probably saved other people's lives. the president of the local teachers union says she believes the training they got helped them not to panic. training on how to deal with the

chaos in a shooting is one thing. living through it is obviously something else entirely. there are technique that can be taught on how to try to survive. randi kaye has a story. though these are training exercises the videos may be disturbing to some viewers. >> reporter: as disturbing as this looks, it is only a simulation. a training video designed to teach people how to respond to an active shooter threat. no plan and experts say your chances of surviving drop dramatically. [ gunfire ] >> a training program known as alice was developed bay a police officer whose wife was an elementary school principal. the first training pro gram of its kind that teaches proactive survival strategies. alice stand for alert lockdown inform counter evacuate. the worst thing potential

victims can do is wait to act. >> it's the hesitation. not realizing what is actually happening and by failing to do that there is a delayed response which would allow the perpetrator more time to commit the heinous act. >> he's got a gun! he's got a gun out there! >> reporter: once you are aware of the shooter alert others and call police if you'ren enin a safe place. >> is this 911? everybody is screaming. 123 smith building. we're in the 123 smith building. please hurry. then go into lockdown. silence all cell phones. lock doors and barricade offices or classrooms. get creative experts say. >> if you tell some one to evacuate immediately maybe a gunman is in the hallway that may induce harm. >> reporter: as more information cups in, inform law enforcement about injuries and location of the shooter.

while waiting for police. experts recommend finding a safe place to hide. if police don't get there before the suspect gets dangerously close, counter the shooter. take him down. using anything you can grab. and finally if you have an opening make a run for it. and evacuate. even if others don't go with you and leave your belongings behind. also remember to keep your hand up on the way out. where officers can see them. so they don't mistake you for the shooter. randi kaye cnn, new york. >> both columbine shooting in 1999 that change sewed much from school security protocol, tone of the debate dave column author of "columbine" i have read two times and seriously recommend this book. he jinz meoins me now. so much has changed since columbine. police now they're trained, you don't form a perimeter or wait for a tactical unit.

they go in. because most active shooter situations are revolved within minutes. >> even before the cops get there. even now. i wondered with the shooting that we had last night it was so short. he didn't do that many shots. i wonder if he -- i thought, you know why didn't he unload more rounds? maybe he is reacting to the fact that he knows they go in much more quickly to make his escape he didn't have much time. >> he clearly wanted to make an escape. tried at least. >> right, yeah. >> what? people think, well you just maybe try to hide. what would you do knowing all you know about these situations? >> run. >> run. >> there is and i didn't see the full thing. i saw this afternoon, run, hide fight. but it is definitely in that order if you remember one thing. it is run. those other things are only if the other ones don't work. really it is run in the opposite direction of the gunfire, which is a little harder than it sound. often in the chaos people are really confused and don't know

where it is coming from and respond to different things. at columbine, frank deangelos when he ran into the hallway, big thing, covered in smoke. first big thing was what sounded like an explosion behind him. because the gunmen were all the way down the hall he was facing them shot hit the glass, trophy case behind it that exploded. really frequent you hear the sound of whatever the gunfire is hitting, the damage can be much more loud. so you think that's what's going on. it happens all the time, ricocheting all kind of reasons. >> one of the problems with hiding is in schools some times people think they're safe underneath a desk. actually they're not. >> you are a sitting duck. in fact there is a tragic thing -- i mean it just makes me emotional remembering. in the columbine report one of the fallacies they have a list of many of the witnesses, misconceptions one was the belief that when they hid in "hid" in the library under

tables that they were hiding. they were in plain sight. that's within of the things with hiding that -- if it is a real hiding place you are a sitting duck. if the person comes by. it better be a real hiding place and not give you the feeling that you are hiding. in columbine there were kids who stayed for hours in the cafeteria and you can see the video when the killers walk back downstairs about after a half an hour, some kids finally make a run for it when i believe eric fires at the bombs trying to set them off. dylan throws a molotov cocktail and creates a big flame. then one of the kids finally decide to make a run for it right in front of him. that kid had been sitting there for an hour under the table with nothing going on. he could have made a run for it. people didn't know at that time that running is by far your best option. >> bottom line last option is fighting. that is important. with whatever you have. >> yes, yes. there is great stuff in there like the fire extinguisher whatever you have. if the person is that close to you where -- you know you're

likely to die. okay. >> you may overpower him. or you may die in the process but save a lot of other people. >> dave column the book is columbine. you have been on many times. i say this all the time. it is essential reading if you want to understand anything about active shooter situations. thank you for being with us. awe thank you for having me. >> just ahead remembering the two women whose lives were cut short last night, musician business owner jillian johnson and college student mayci breaux what we know about the lives they led and the lives they touched.

of two victims killed at a movie theater in lafayette, louisiana, when john russell houser opened fire on the crowd. >> we cannot lose sight of the fact that a 21-year-old and 33-year-old beautiful young lady lost their lives last night. they had a vision they had a future. i said this earlier they had a face they had a name. it was opportunity die in this theater. >> reporter: in the aftermath of the deadly shooting a clearer picture emerging of those affected by the violence. jillian johnson ran a boutique with her husband and brotheren lafayette. friend say she touched people's lives with her creativity. her band the figs releasing this statement to cnn. jillian made everything more beautiful. she worked to make lafayette a more beautiful place. and one of the most tragic things that has ever happened here took her. she was a mother a wife a sister an artist a collaborator a band member a friend to so many. we are devastated.

21-year-old mayci breaux a former student at lsu came to the movie with her boyfriend, matthew. law enforcement officials tell cnn the couple sat in front of the shooter. mayci died inside the theater. while matthew remains at the hospital. a family member says he is recovering but struggling with what happened. saying "although he is in a lot of pain now, it is nothing compared to the mental anguish he is going through. their whole family is completely distraught about everything going on." doctors at lafayette general health where five of the injured including matthew are being treated reveal a connection to mayci. >> mayci breaux one of the one of the victims actually is an x ray student. she was scheduled to begin radiology school here at lafayette general just in a few days. so this really it hurts for our staff. >> as for houser's other victims

doctors say they're expected to make a full recovery. boris sanchez, cnn, new york. >> joining me christian mader one of jillian johnson's many friends. i'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. could you tell us about jillian, what was she like? >> jillian was a very rambunctious person the way i describe her, the sort of person if you ask her what she was up to sunny would give you a long list of activities you would think, well i don't get up early enough in the morning. jillian had a very wry sense of humor. definitely the sort of person that was, i think fundamentally kind but the sort of person that you wouldn't want to end up on the wrong end of her wit. active musician artist designer very tall. you couldn't miss her in a crowd. she had a way of rallying people around her. she had an entrepreneurial spirit. and was a very gregarious person to be around. she was truly a remarkable human

being in that regard. somebody that i think we were all better for having known. >> seems like she not only did a lot of things she did a lot of things very well. >> yeah. i mean to the extent that you would struggle to find something where you would say, okay jillian, i'm better than you at this thing that you and i both do. you would spend most of your days trying to do that. pretty troubling. yeah. >> i read a piece that you wrote about her. you describe her in a way great. a turn of the century louisiana politician reincarnated. can you explain what you mean by that? >> jillian, a unique way of being able to talk to people of all walks of life. i would argue that a lot of what she did artistically in town was fundamentally populist as i mentioned. what i mean what she is known for, reinvigorating the creativity around lafayette's culture. we are known for being

affiliated with cajun music, cajun food focus on culture. jillian was the sort of person that could even though she wasn't born here express that to anybody around her. and i guess what i mean that's like even then she had that kind of beautiful southern drawl. it wasn't too thick. just thick enough she felt homey when you tacked tolked. not too thick where you thought she was out to swindle you for something. she was a wonderful person in that regard she could really speak to anybody. which is the sort of asset that you think about in southern politics your traditional louisiana governor type. >> it's interesting because she wasn't born in lafayette, but you said she succeeded because she probably knew lafayette better than anybody did? >> i think that there is a degree to which anybody who comes into a town from an out siders perspective. to be sure, jillian was an insider as far as anybody here

was concerned. she did not grow up here. she as far as i know spent many many many many years. some times it takes somebody to come here and show a mirror to you, this is what you look like this is what you are about, this is what makes you beautiful. jillian did that for us in terms of the way that she depicted the unique aspects of culture in laugh yet through her t-shirts through art work through her music. those were things that maybe, weren't as trendy before jillian came around town. >> well it just sound like she, you make her out to just sound like a remarkable person. and i appreciate you talking about her under these circumstances. thank you so much. >> it's my pleasure. >> we'll be right back.
