dads and children whose lives have been changed forever. >> i found myself looking around for the gunman in fear of being shot myself. >> honestly, i sat under the desk to pray. i didn't know what else to do. >> and somehow, this is becoming routine. >> and he is exchanging the shots with him, and in the classroom. >> and the shooter is deceased. >> we are in a war. this is domestic terrorism. >> and our thoughts and prayers are not enough. it is not enough. hello, i'm wolf blitzer and it is 1:00 p.m. in washington, and 8:00 p.m. in jerusalem and wherever you are watching around the world, thank you for joining us. we begin with the campus massacre in oregon and a news conference set to begin any minute, and we will go there live. once it starts, the sheriff will update us.

and the authorities will provide details of what happened at the umpqua community college in rosebu roseburg, oregon, that left nine dead and nine injured. at least two of the nine injured are critical. the gunman's ram page began in sni snyder hall on the southeast end of the campus, and from there he went to the science building. the shooter was killed there, and it is not clear whether he was shot by police or committed suicide. witnesses say at one point the shooter started to singling out christians, and this is what the father of one wounded student told cnn. >> are you a christian, he would ask them, and if you are a christian, stand up, and they would stand up, and he would say, good, because you are a christian, you are going to be seeing god in just about one second, and then he shot and

killed them, and then he kept going up and down the line doing this to people. >> and more on the investigation into the campus massacre, and the latest on the victims of ana cabrera outside of the safety headquarters where the ofishes will be holding the press conference in a few moment, and also joining us is barbara starr, and our legal view anchor ashleigh banfield is there at the unkwau cmpqua campus, and d sanjay gupta is there at the medical center. and ana, what do we know about a box deliver to someone on the campus. >> there was a box delivered to with one of the students in the classroom where he opened fire. the father of one of the survivors anastasia boyland's a father tells us that before she went into surgery last night for the injuries that she sustained in the shooting, she told him

that the shooter upon ordering fire gave someone who survived a box and said, you to deliver this, and he did not know and she did not know anymore about what that box contained. that is something that we will ask the investigators about the press conference to happen here in the next 15 or 20 minutes or so, and we are told that the internal briefing went long, and they had a lot of information to analyze before they can share it with the public. a lot of unanswered questions here, and the biggest question is what was the emotive? why did this 26-year-old gunman go into this really rural peaceful community college and open fire and not just one classroom, but at least two classrooms leaving nine people dead before he was shot and killed? we understand that nine others were injured and suffering injuries to the torsos to their head and to their back. very serious injuries, and we are hoping to learn a lot more about the victims, and the

investigators are not releasing the identities yet because of the protocol of a mass shooting. a lot of questions to be answered, wolf, and we will bring those to you hopefully within the hour. >> we will standby for the live news conference, ana. what are the authorities learning about the the kinds of weapons that he had, and why he targeted this specific college campus? >> we don't know why he targeted this college campus, but i can tell you that i spoke a moment ago to the interim president of the community college rita haven and she said that they do not believe that he was a current student at the college, but they are looking into whether he is a past student. she told me, and again they don't know why or if he had specific victims in mind, but where he opened fire initially was in an english class. so bits of information are coming out. investigators say they found four weapons on scene, presumably all of the shooters, three pistols as well as a long

rifle and that survivor anastasia boyland who spoke to her father before surgery said it appeared that he was reloading a handgun before shooting some of the students who before he shot them he asked them if they were a christian, and if they said yes, he said something along the lines that, well, good, you are going to meet your god in about a second and shot them one by one. >> chilling indeed. ana, live coverage of the news conference coming up momentarily. >> and i want to go to the pentagon very quickly to the pentagon to barbara starr who has information on the brief stint in the u.s. army. >> moments ago the army confirmed that briefly the gunman did serve in the u.s. army as a recruit. what the army is telling us is that from november 5th through december 11th, 2008 he was in

basic training in fort jackson, south carolina. that is an area where the recruits go to get that basic training, but he was there really just one month, and he did not complete basic training, and he did not graduate from basic training according to the army, and he received a discharge for what the army is calling administrative reasons. they are not giving any more details burk what we do know is that the army when they say administrative discharge essentially, this does happen, and recruits come n ain, and th may get discharged early on from basic training for any number of reason, whether it is not meeting physical standards or mental health standards, and we dot no know that, and there is another category where the recruit may not simply be able to assimilate into military life. we don't know what the reason is. and the army is not saying.

i think it is fair to assume they are turning over every record they have on the brief one-month stint to federal investiga investigators working the case. but they are able to say that he was recruited, and he did go into the army serving just over one month in basic training, and he did not graduate, and he was discharged. >> thank you, barbara starr. if you find out why he was discharged and they release that information, we are interested in that. and dr. sanjay gupta is with us as well. several of the victims are still there at the hospital where you are, and what are the conditions, and what do we know about the extent of the injuries? >> well, doctors are optimistic here, wolf, about the remaining patients in the hospital thinking that one may be discharged today and the others probably discharged over the next several days. wolf, i want to paint a picture to you as to what happened here. specifically, i talked to the chief medical officer who said they got a 10 to 15-minute

warning before all of the patients showed up. they were listening to the scanners trying to get the details, and the patients showed up. at first, 10 patients came here to the hospital. wolf, small town, small hospital, and this is a big deal for the doctors, and the entire staff to be able to take care of. one of the patients that we now know, wolf, that one of the patients died in te emergency room before they could get the patient any kind of care. we know that three patients were sent from this hospital to another hospital just over 60 mile s miles away. those three patients were patients who had been shot in the head, all women we now know, and between the ages of 18 and 34. i will tell you this to give you an idea of what it was like, and what it was like going on here, and obviously, things were happening very quickly here several hours ago. few more patients who have been treated and subsequently discharged from the hospital, and still three patients in the

hospital now. again, they are optimistic about the recovery of the patient, but, wolf, it is kind of a remarkable thing. it is such a small town, and when people started to hear of this, people started to come in, and retired doctor, and doctors who are not on call, and this is what the chief medical officer told me that because the town was is so small, there were direct relationships between some of the staff and the patients coming n and so it was very emotional at the same time, wolf. >> and i totally understand, sanj sanjay. we are getting more breaking news. evan perez is learning more about the shooter. what are you learning, evan? >> this is portray iing the gunn as someone who is frankly having mental issues and feelings of anger, and we know that the investigators have been recovering writings from the gunman that the include ramblings about his racial animus against black people, and

feelings of anger of being isolated and unable to the make friendships and relationships according to law enforcement that have talked to me, and pamela brown and to scott glover our producer from los angeles. the gunman's family has told investigators that he was suffering from mental health issues, and that he had sought treatment some time in the past for those issues, and barbara mentioned that he had been discharged from the military, but we don't know exactly why that was, but one of the reasons could be for being discharged would be for having mental issue issu issues, and that is something that we have to check into. and wolf, among the writings and the things he had written online was some fascination with the irish republican army. and we know that the investigators have not established any links with any established groups, and they don't know if they have had any affiliations, but from what the posted on the myspace page that is believed to belong to the gunman, they believe he had a

fascination with the ira which is unexplained given the context of the mental health issues, and also, wolf, this san investigation that is still under way, and a lot that they don't know and they are still talking to friends, family, and they are looking at everything that they can build a profile of this gunman to try to explain why this happened. >> as far as the i.r.a. is concerned, i have seen the report s th reports that he was born in the united kingdom, and came to california as a little boy, and his father is british, and have we confirm ed that, evan? >> yes, born in the uk, and then moved to the united states as a child according to his family. so that is something that may or may not explain any of this. and again, a lot of times when thing like this happens, we try to find the reasons, but again, this is inexplicable that the idea that somebody would go to the community college and just

shoot people up, this is not explained. this is a way of trying to figure out what is was his on his mind, and exnine the family members why this occurred, but it could put a little bit of understanding as to what was going on with this gunman. >> and i just want to be clear that he was affiliated with all of the groups here, right? >> yes. and there is no indication, and they found no indication that he had a link, and this is appearing to be somebody who is a loaner, and somebody who made friend, and keeping relationships and getting a girlfriend, and he was pretty much funnel iing the feelings o anger, and including against african-americans which is inexplicable even today. >> clearly. and apparently he had anti-christian views as well, singling out the christians for execution in that massacre. so we are learning more about

the shooter, this killer. ashleigh banfield, can you describe one man who is described as a hero chris mintz who is also shot. >> well, the antithesis of the person who never made it out of basic training, less than a month out of the army, and someone who is heroic, a military vet who tried to save others in the classroom where is this carnage was meted out. that is chris mintz, and he is 30 years old, and despite that he took seven bullets, he survived, wolf. he is in the hospital, and his family says that his story is nothing short of absolute heroics. he apparently tried to barricade the door, and the shooter apparently shot through it anyway, and he was shot several time, and fell through the ground, and met the eyes of the killer, and pleaded with him that it was his son is's birthday, and nonetheless, the sho shooter shot again, and he took

several more bullet, and yet, again, wolf, he survived. the family says that he has two broken legs after this attack, and that he is going to have to learn how to walk all over again, but they said that he walked away with his life, and we can't say that about nine other of the victims around him. victims that he tried to save, and may have well saved others. so let's remember that name chris mintz, 30 years old, military vet and hero. >> i will remember his name, ashleigh. don't go far away, and we will get back to the start of the briefing there in roseburg, oregon, and we will have live coverage, and that starts once we come back. >>mine hurt more.. >>mine stopped hurting faster! neosporin plus pain relief starts relieving pain faster and kills more types of infectious bacteria

killer? >> well, it is interesting, wolf, because it appears that he was fascinate ord obsessed with some of the mass shootings or the shootings of individuals most rekrecently the two report in virginia. on the file sharing website, one of the movies that he recently downloaded was a b p bc documentary called "surviving sandy hook." and he blogs about the recent shooting of the two reporters, and he describes the gunman in a s sympathetic way saying that he was alone and unknown and then overnight, he was thrust into the limelight and his name known to everyone. and so he, whether he is questioning his own relevancy or his own place in the world order, he was kicked out of that military basic training as bar ba starr barb aara starr reported.

and some of the witnesses are saying things that are not making a lot of since. he reportedly asked people if they were a christian and then executed them. but then on one of the blogs he describes himself as being spiritual, and having a bias against blacks, but he describes himself as ethically mixed, so all all of the discrepancies are things that the investigators are looking at closely to try to put together a more complete profile of who he was and what drove him to go over the edge. >> mary ellen, we mentioned that the neighbors described this gunman as quiet, withdrawn and skittish and is that typical in the cases like this? it is not typical. we have had shooters far more extroverted, but when you have an individual like this, they may stand out more, and the fact that they are isolated and separate from the peers, and they don't have a support network, and they don't is have

the ability to have a reality check, the behavior that begins to broad and evolve and grow does so in the basement of someone's home when no one can see it. so that is how it can become really out of control. >> mary ellen, what about this so-called quest for notoriety, and does it play into the kinds of the mass shootings, because i have been told by the experts here in washington, it does have an element here of the copycat ki killer. >> it absolutely does in my opinion, and i have been involved with these cases for 25 years, and there are a certain group of these shooters, the ones who design and carry out this very flamboyant type the of mass shooting, they are really looking for international recognition. >> and they want to be publicized even if they know that it is either going to be dying in the process or committing suicide, they want a lot of notoriety and publicity,

is that what you are saying? >> yes, notoriety and publicity, and the credit for the actions, and they want to know that they will be recognized as the person who is responsible for this. >> all right. standby, both of you, deb feyerick and mary ellen, because we are just moments away from the live news conference there in oregon, taand the sheriff is expected to make a statement, and then answer reporters' questions, and we will have live coverage when we come back. woman: my mom and i have the same hands.

hanlin. we have people working with each one of the families to make sure they receive the highest level of support. these families are currently living through the nightmare and the most personal way possible. i would ask that the media respect their privacy, and let them grieve in their own way. as notifications happen, we hope to share their names and a little bit more about them in the future press conferences. on to the issues related to the campus. if your car is still parked on the campus, you need to meet at the douglas county fairgrounds today at 3:00 p.m. at that time, buses will be there to take you back to the campus to retrieve your car. you should bring photo i.d. if you cannot find your photo i.d. and you believe you have left it at the campus, check in

with an officer at the college and let them know, and they will assist you in attempting to the retrieve it from one of the buildings. there are also mental health counselors stationed at the fairgrounds, including kou counselors being provided by the community health alliance. students and staff in need of assistance are strongly encouraged to seek out that help. also, in talking with the umpqua community college partnered this morning the current understand ing is that they intend to reopen the campus early next week. please stay tuned for more information on that. we expect that the medical examiner will release the name of the shooter sometime today. again, you will not hear anyone

from this law enforcement operation use his name. i kocontinue to believe that the media and community members who publicize his name will only glorify his horrific actions. and eventually this is only going to serve to inspire future shooters. at this time, i would like to spr introduce atf special assistant in charge, salinas nunez. >> i'm the special agent in charge for the seattle field di vix and i wanted to the provide some information on the weapons that we have in custody so far. >> what was that? >> so far we have recovered 13 weapons. out of the 13 weapons in u custody, six were recovered at the school, seven recovered at the shooter's residence and all

14 traced to a federal firearms dealer, and they are all at different stages in the tracing process. 8 of the 14 have been traced to first trace purchasers. 7 have been purchased by the shooter or a family member. all within the last three years. in addition to the weapons recovered, we also were able to recover a flak jacket lying next to the rifle at the school, and it had steel plates with five magazines. an additional amount of ammunition was also recovered at the apartment, and that is all that we have at this moment. i also want to thank the seattle, our phoenix field division, and the north carolina field division, and atlanta field division for obtaining all of the tracing information for us.

>> did you say flak jacket? >> yes. >> and 13 weapons or 14? >> 14 currently. it was 14 weapons, an one of them he actually traded back to the store for one of the firearms that were recovered at the school. >> did you find all 13 or 14 at the school? >> no, no, six recovered at the school and seven recovered at his resident. >> were all of the purchases legally? >> yes. >> were they the purchased locally? >> new york not all of them. >> but thno, not all of them. >> some were purchased by the shooter and some by family members. >> folks, i will open it up for you if we can get through the rest of this real quick. this is really an active investigation, and we have a number of resources conducted all throughout the night, and follow-up investigations, and i

want to remind everyone that we have a toll free number to collect tips from those in the communi community, and so if anybody in the community has any information about this incident or if you have any video or photo gra photographs e r s relevant to t incident please call 800-fbi and choose option 7. anyone who is feeling anxious about this incident, again, i encourage you to seek counseling help. it is available. you can find a listing of resources on our press releases. so at this time, i will be willing to answer a couple of questions -- >> sheriff, sheriff, can you

confirm the photograph of the shooter to give us absolute k confirmation? >> i cannot. >> and is it normal for one person to have this amount of weaponry? >> in oregon, i mean, this is a hunting state, and firearms are popular in most households, yes. >> and sheriff, what is the connection to the shooter in the schools? >> that i don't know, and that is part of the investigation on going, and we don't have information on that. >> and sheriff, can you tell us -- >> has there been any notice about the reports of the gunman giving someone a flash drive of information or something in that? >> well, again, we are in the middle of the information, and any information pertaining to that would be irresponsible of me to comment at the time.

>> sher is riff --. >> sheriff. >> can you confirm the number of fatali fatalities at this moment? >> yes, a number of ten fatalities. >> that includes the shooter? >> yes, that includes the shooter. >> that number has not been changed. >> and you come under attack being a strong 2nd amendment advocate and how do you feel about the politicalization of this attack? >> well, like i said this morning, my focus is on getting this investigation completed and taking care of the victims and the families of the victimses, and so now is not an appropriate time to have those conversations. >> sheriff, sheriff! >> for the shooter, it would be easier to focus on the victims if you know who some of the v k victims are, and you have released some of the victims -- >> regarding the the names of

the shooter? >> no, the victims. can you release the names -- >> no, as i mentioned before, it is a mass casualty incident, and there is protocols in place that require that the notifications be authorized be by the oregon state medical examiner's office, and we hope that the notifications will come hopefully by the end of today, but at this particular point in time, i am not able to answer that question. >> sheriff, sheriff -- >> no more questions, sheriff. >> no more questions, please. i have some information for those of you in this room that you need to know. at 11:30 outside of this building in front of the fire bays, the governor will be holding a press available with the oregon congressional delegation. that is 11:30 outside in front

of the fire bays. we expect to have another press briefing later in this room later this afternoon when we get the time set, we will will post it to flash alert, and our twitter account. thank you. >> all right. so there you have all of the latest information about 45 minutes or so from now, and less than an hour or so the governor of oregon will have a news conference there, and another one scheduled for later in the day, and no time announced. and we did learn from the atf, alcohol,bacco and firearm representative that there were 13 weapons ta had been discovered there on the campus, and at his apartment. now, to discuss what we have just heard, we have our experts tom fuentes, former fbi

director, and people watching all over the world are saying, this is a number of weapons for one individual. >> and there is no question about the number of weapons, but he has legal right to them, and so we don't have enough information about the number of weapons, and where they were purchased, and the members of the family. >> and it is amazing that he had 14 weapons an brought six of them to the campus to start killing people randomly and asking them if they were christians for example, and then executing them. but i will take it that you are

not that surprised, matt, and tell me what your reaction? >> well, while it is troublesome that he had so many weapon, and he had gotten some from family member, and where do you draw the line of how many weapons a person can buy, and is he hunting or how to get them on the campus, and then just randomly shooting people. this is what i call the epitome of the lone wolf sort of case when you look at the background and say, how come nobody knew about this guy, and nobody knew what he was doing? we have to know that something knew something or was he just totally berzerk, and did he snap? because you have to wonder what somebody had to know something. >> and we know that he was close to the mother, and lived with the mother, and she had to obviously noticed something. >> and she might have, but the way that the laws have evolved on mental health issues, a parent can't do a number of things for an adult child, because if they get a prescription for medicine they can't make them take it or

monitor them and no access to the medical records to that individual under the medical privacy laws, and if the parent can't address it when they are a child, once they are adulthood, that is what it s. and we have taken away the ability of the police if they have encountered somebody who is mentally ill or disturbed, and if they are not doing something illegal at that moment or threatening something, their hands are tide, and they can't commit the person or make the person to get treatment. so is, when we talk about needing mental health reform in the country, every law enforcement officer on the street knows it is a fact that their hands are tied to do anything about this. >> and do you agree, matt? >> yes. our hands are tied and when and if they are really mentally ill, and when to report it. and somebody has to know something, and just like the person who is going to commit suicide, he may have said, i am going to committee sud, and maybe he had said something to

somebody, and when you talk about this amount of guns and this in custody. >> and all of these weapons p purchased legally by the 26-year-old killer. all right. standby, and we will take a quick break and much more of the breaking news coverage right after this.

earlier. but there aren't any clear options other than that at this point. particularly, options that the u.s. and its coalition partners find. you don't want to get into a military conflict and that's why the focus has been on the decon flix. you have a lot of coalition war planes flying in close proximity it to russian war planes and you don't want to have a misunderstanding. >> the russian defense ministry, the new information they released on the airstrikes and some of the details, a command post and communication center of armed isis groups has been destroyed. a field cap of isis militants was hit. bunkers, fuel stores have also been destroyed. how does the u.s. and coalition partners figure out what's going on? >> it does appear they struck some isis targets but it's clear they struck targets backed by the u.s. and coalition. so in effect, it looks like they are striking any group that

threatens the regime and forces of bashar al assad, which fits with the u.s. perception of vladimir putin's main goal, which is to keep that e regime surviving. that's their goal. >> secretary of state john kerry says it's important to continue a dialogue with the russians. listen to this. >> so we're trying to define who will do what where and this will test whether or not they are really going after isil or there to support the assad regime. if they are it there to support assad, russia has made. a catastrophic mistake because they will be siding with assad, iran and hezbollah against the entire rest of the community in that part of the world, against sunnis, it runs the risk of inviting even more jihadists to come into syria. >> it's a huge issue right now. >> no question. kerry is echoing the broader point you hear from officials. which is to russia knock yourself out. go in there, but you're taking on all the risks of being drawn

into this conflict. >> that's it for me. i'll be back at 5:00 p.m. eastern in "the situation room." for our viewers in north america, "newsroom" will begin after a quick break.
