has conducted any sort of major live military event they're trying to showcase they're building their economy, bracing for more sanctions. wolf? >> the news conference with authorities in texas has just started. let's listen. >> your thoughts and prayers are very much welcome and very much needed during these times. >> the fbi and several other agencies continue to work over the last few days. >> i'd like to mention something about the unified command. there are many agencies involved in this investigation. if we are unified into one team with one mission. in my opinion, this investigation is what right looks like. every agency has their own experti expertise, and we're using that expertise to do a thorough investigation.

bodies have been removed and transported to the medical examiner's office for autopsy. more than 15 magazines, 30 round capacity magazines have been recovered. the suspect's vehicle has been processed with the suspect's body inside. numerous interviews have been conducted in numerous cities and states. next of you kin have been notified. we need to finalize the list of deceased victims. we plan to have in a done and released the victim's names as soon as possible. tonight we hope to finish the evidence collection process.

and we will begin forensic mapping and trajectory tomorrow. what i can tell you today the autopsy was performed on the shooter. i used shooter instead of the suspects name, we do not want to glorify him and what he's done. the autopsy was done this morning. what i can tell you, he sustained three gunshot wounds. two were from the armed citizen. one was in the leg and the other in the torso. he had a third gunshot wound which is described as being consistent with being self-infli self-inflicted. we have four victims in serious condition six in krirt cal condition. and the number of deceased have not changed.

i'd like to thank you all for coming. we'll entertain some questions. >> where was the third wound? >> good afternoon. i just want to commend the commander from dps for not mentioninged shooter's name. we don't want to glorify what's happened there. one is called don't name them, we don't talk about the shooter, we don't see his name out there in the press, so it doesn't encourage other people to do horrific acts like this, i can tell you the scene in there is horrific, not even a word to describe it. i certainly want to kmernd the first responders who went in there from fire, ems and the police department, the fbi and the dpi ranger teams in there now taking care of this. i think that's an important part we should always remember. i know there's a lot of questions about the fbi nix system and how did the person get the weapons. i can tell you for the four

purchases he made the nix system did their required checks. there was nothing in the system that said he could not purchase that firearm. in all three of those databases there was not information that we would said was prohibitive for that man to get the firearm. thank you very much. >> the question was, the third gunshot wound was to the head. >> is that a failure of the u.s. military to not -- >> obviously, everybody's taking a look at what happened there. i believe the air force released a statement about 30 minutes ago, so we're working with them to try to figure out what happened there. >> the shooter's grandmother, was she involved? >> was the shooter's grandmother involved -- one of the victims?

>> she was not. >> was he released from the army? >> we know he was released from the army -- >> self-inflicted gunshot wounds -- >> to the head. >> the suspect may have taken a hostage in the car. any truth to that? >> that is not confirmed. that is not true. >> it was mentioned today that the shooter may have attended the same church? >> i'm not aware of the shooter attending this church. >> the grandmother was not involved?

>> oh, the grandmother in law? >> we're not aware of that at this time. >> earlier you said the suspect called his father. can you expand on that conversation a little bit. >> they have been cooperative, and i really can't expand on that, because of that cooperation and communications. and out of respect for them. >> one of the victims was reportedly pregnant. will that change the murder count charge? >> that number was included. one of the victims was pregnant. >> was there intended to be a revenge shooting? >> i can't comment further on that. we know there was conflict between the families and whether that was revenge or not would be speculation on my part. >> can you say that the -- >> we're not aware if -- we're unaware if she's one of the victims or not. >> you can't say no for sure? >> i can't. >> can you speak to the messages that the shooter sent to his

mother-in-law? >> i can't. those -- the phones are being explored at this time, and i don't have that information. >>. >> the crime was not racial, not religious motivated. if we say right now that he came to kill the mother-in-law? >> there are many ways that he could have taken care of the mother-in-law without coming with 125 loaded magazines and an assault rifle to the church. i think he came here with a purpose and a mission. and i have -- that's my. >> how many magazines -- >> how many magazines you said earlier? >> there were 15 magazines collected here at the crime scene. >> how many were empty. >> all of them. >> thank you for coming out, ladies and gentlemen.

>> we'll have a briefing for you tomorrow. and continue to follow us on twitter. >> what time? >> we'll announce that through e-mail and twitter as well. >> that was the press conference there from the scene of the texas church massacre where 26 people ranging in age from 17 months to 77 years were killed. horrific act. sarah sidner is out front, she's near the shooters home in new braunfels, texas. 15 magazines, they're not sure if his grandmother in law was -- has survived or not. so many questions still at this hour. >> it's true, i thought it was interesting to know there were 15 magazines and then the law enforcement officer was asked, well, were there any bullets left in those magazines? no. literally he use d 15 magazines

on the people at the church. >> there were other details lau enforcement shared earlier, he was wearing all black. he was wearing some sort of a mask to cover his face that had a white skull on the front of it as well. clearly he came there to do battle with someone and he took out so many people, injured so many more. we also heard from them, talking about some of the details of maybe what was in the phones because apparently there were text messages that were sent. there were text messages sent to his wife's family members, his mother-in-law that were threatening. we think this was about some sort of domestic dispute. we know there were problems between him and his wife's

family. one of the officers said, look, this is not about religion or politics. this is about a domestic issue as it appears. we have another person sort of backtracking from that. he could have taken out a family member anyway he pleased. he definitely came to this church with a plan. >> the investigation is ongoing, they're still collecting evidence. as you may imagine with so many people killed and injured inside of that church. >> thank you so much. it's so important what you just said, he definitely came with a plan. >> i think the words used there were, there was a lot of ways he could have taken care of his mother-in-law. obviously, not well put, but the point is, he chose to go to a church and slaughter innocent people. that's 450 rounds that he fired in that church.

according to what they told us. there was nothing in the background checks that would have indicated this shooter could note have had a gun. there was something in that background check. but it wasn't entered in the system. he served time in a military preside prison. he assaulted his stepson, he damaged his skull. that was not in the check. ryan, obviously something went horribly wrong? >> initial indications showed that the information pertaining to the shooters assault conviction in a military court was not appropriately entered into the national criminal information center database, that would have prevented him -- had it been entered, it would have prevented the shooter from ever purchasing a firearm.

the military has received guidance that they must enter this information into the system. there's an investigation looking into how this was missed. the department of defense launching its own investigation to see how this person should have never been allowed to purchase a firearm was able to do so. >> he was able to do so and four times over at least. a least as far as we're aware right now. >> what is this charge that he ended up with a military court-marti court-martial, he ended up serving a year in military prison. what were the charges, what did he do and admit to doing? >> he was charged with violations of the uniform code of military justice, the two charges he plead guilty to involved assault against his

then wife and their stepson. an assault that was so violent it could have resulted in grievous bodily harm or death. there were other charges, including threatening his then wife with an armed firearm on several occasions. >> i want to go straight on the heels of this breaking news. former cia counter terror official. art, what we learned there, in that press conference. 15 magazines, all of them with 30 rounds. >> that's a lot of rounds. generally when you qualify with that type of a firearm, you're shooting about 100 rounds.

this is almost 4 1/2 times that amount. and i can't even imagine -- you can squeeze that trigger, hold that trigger back, you have to keep squeezing it, it takes a while to empty a 30 round clip. the amount of time that took, had to be devastating to those people what we're hearing from the press conference again, they're saying they're unsure whether his grandmother in law, who was in that church survived or not. now, we know there was a serious domestic grievance that he perceived, they're not sure whether she is alive or dead. he had other ways he could have dealt with his family. he went to a church and killed 26 people including infants, young children. and he shot 450 rounds, as these people are screaming, he

continues to shoot. >> how does someone do that? >> this is close range. he was walking up and down the aisles shooting again and again and again at people on the ground to make sure they were dead. >> he won't say the word revenge, that's the only word that could possibly describe why this is going. on. the wife's family is the missing link that will fill in the gaps of what was going on. what that conflict is about. i think it wouldn't be a far stretch to assume this family was encouraging her to leave him. or something that would trigger, he had already held a loaded gun on his first wife. now you have something going on, some beef with his wife's mother that is making -- he was sending texts. the church was not an accident. everyone has agreed he was a complete atheist many i think the message was not just i'm

going to get you, but your god cannot protect you. >> he definitely came with a plan. >> he was dressed for this. he had 15 magazines, each equipped with 30 rounds. he was able to kill all these innocent people. he did have a plan, and it wasn't just about his family in that moment. it's possible that every single person here killed was not his family. >> i think i did have a plan. the remarkable piece is contrasting this with las vegas. in the digital age, we're learning that within a day of this event you're going to start to see the beginnings of an outline of a motive. i'm going to wager over the coming days after interviews where family members reviews of e-mails and further text messages, we will have a much more three dem engsal picture of what was happening in the days before, and how his brain was changing as his family engaged with him.

going back to las vegas, the reason so many people like me believe you'll be able to find motive so quickly, in the digital age, can you read all this stuff. the vegas thing is an outlier. we don't have that picture yet, and in this case, 24 hours out, we do. >> the other thing that we know here is that a huge error was made. we don't know whether this is going to be the error that actually, really this is how it could have happened. you could have stolen it, or getting it illegally. he had a conviction that would have prevented him from buying a gun. >> it's on several levels, if you look at the form you have to fill out. there's a felony conviction, any court. on those two fronts, there's no way this individual should have been able to purchase a firearm. the mental health questions, you

can't check. that form is really made to get your basic information to run the checks in the national criminal information center, because of the human error of air force osi. they did not enter this, this slipped through the cracks. >> we also now know from those in the gas station across the street, and even someone in the church who we're going to speak with, her son said he had a mask on, he also had a ballistic vest with a plate on the front. do you think that he intended to survive this? >> i don't. i'm looking at this saying, he went in there with a mission. he felt he was validated. when i see a vest and a mask, that suggests to me he was conducting a military mission that he thought was appropriate. once he crossed that bridge where he was -- decided to kill what he must have known would be dozens of people. you're talking about an emotional bubble that is so hard to get to. an individual like him, once he

gets that bubble, doesn't think he's coming back, i think once the killings happened, the writing was on the wall, he was going to go. >> one thing we do know is that he had been denied a permit for a corn sealed carry. that's done on a more local level. there are people who knew him, maybe. we're not 100% sure, it's possible those who were familiar with the situation would deny that right. >> on the national system, when you go into a gun store, that's not who's making this decision. >> the key is, well, he bought them legally. no, he bought them illegally, he just didn't get caught, the roadblocks were not in place, they weren't entered into the system. if there's one message that comes out of this, we need to find out how many of those disconnects still exist between the system so we can pinpoint them and get them into the system where there's no reason this won't happen again. next, the harrowing account of a survivor shot multiple times. she is alive, and she lived to tell what she witnessed in that

church. investigators combing through social media for clues, his long simmering obsession with a family disdoubt and with mass killings. president trump sounding off on twitter moments ago. backing an unprecedented surge in saudi arabia. when i look in the mirror everyday. when i look in the mirror everyday. everyday, i think how fortunate i am.

i think is today going to be the day, that we find a cure? i think how much i can do to help change people's lives. i may not benefit from those breakthroughs, but i'm sure going to... i'm bringing forward a treatment for alzheimer's disease, yes, in my lifetime, i will make sure. we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew. that's it. so rich. i love it. that's why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied. are you sure you're describing the coffee and not me? they always refer to me as master sergeant. full-bodied.

officials tonight saying the gunman who opened fire at eye church in texas killing 26 people came with a purpose and a mission. unloading 15 magazines he had on him on innocent men, women and children. each of those magazines outfitted with the maximum rounds, 30 rounds a piece. 450 unleashed on those innocent people. we're learning chilling new details of what happened inside. the gunman walked up and down the aisles shooting. in a moment, i'm going to speak to the survivor's son, ed lavandera is outfront. ed, we have just heard the update, have you people right now in critical care. people fighting to survive this. what are doctors telling you about the injuries of those who are still in hospital tonight. >> we're about 30 hours after the shooting incident. 20 people in all were wounded.

14 of those people remain hospitalized, we just heard from investigators that say that ten of those people are still in critical condition. they're being treated at two main hospitals in the san antonio area. six of them you see behind me, there are two children and one adult in critical condition. these people have suffered lower leg injuries, abdomen wounds, incredibly serious conditions, a number of people already have to go through secondary surgeries as well. they are in that fight for their lives here tonight. that continues almost 30 hours after the shootings. >> ed, thank you. >> tonight we're hearing about another survivor. farida brown. she is recovering tonight david

brown is with us tonight. >> it's a blessing your mother is recovering, she's going to be okay. how is she doing tonight. >> she's doing much better. she is mentally drained still. she woke up this morning in better spirits than she was yesterday. the realization of what happened is setting in now. it's going to be a trying period for him or her. >> what she saw is something that none of us can imagine, she's at church, at the 11:00 a.m. service, what did she tell you about what happened in that church yesterday morning. >> she was at church just like any other sunday. out of nowhere shots started coming through the windows.

then the shooter came in through the front doors, and the sunday schoolteacher sitting next to her yelled, get on the floor, she got on the floor. a lady sitting to her left also got on the floor. the sunday schoolteacher left and she doesn't know what happened to him the shooter came into the church and started shooting everyone. and people were running out of the church. and she thinks he was shooting them as they were leaving. she doesn't know how many people were actually able to get away. she does know that after people stopped running out of the church, he started walking around. he walked up and down the aisle shooting everyone that was

laying on the ground. he walked up and down the aisles a few times. >> and made his way around the church. and eventually ended up where she was, which is in the very back pew and started shooting the lady next to her. multiple times, she was pretty certain she was next and her life was about to end. then someone with a gun showed up at the front of the church, caught his attention and that was the end of it. >> he walked around the church and got a glimpse of him being completely dressed in black. >> it certainly seems she was next. from how you describe it. that was a local resident. one of them was johnny

langendorf. that's what caused him to leave as he was about to shoot your mother again. what does she think about that? >> she said she would have taken 15 more shots to the legs if it would have saved lives. she's more heart broken about all the lives that were taken and the helpless defenseless church members that just laid there and met their end she feels more bad about the victims, the victim's families than herself, she knows how fortunate she was that she lived through this. # the wounds that she's taken, they'll heal. the lives of all those that were

taken are endless. >> our thoughts are with you and your mother. i know she is so glad to have you there with her in this time of incredible tragedy. thank you so much for being with us. >> david, wanted me to mention that if you want to help the church and the victims. you can do that, you can make a donation on the church's website. i want to go to shimon proqupez. he has more details. shimon, what are you learning? >> the investigators have really spent the night, the day since this happened.

they found indications he was upset. expressed comments about mass shootings. all this was found on his social media. the officials will not tell us specifically what was mentioned. there are so many of these now. it would be hard to believe the most recent ones mentioned. that is factoring into theorys for investigators. his fascination with guns and mass shootings is what ultimately led to the shooting. >> thank you very much. democratic senator from delaware, who sits on the senate judiciary and foreign relations committees. thank you for being with me. i'm sorry we're here to discuss this horrific thing that's just happened. he definitely came with a plan. they're seeing an obsession with

mass shootings own social media. that may end up being what was behind this. do you think the bread crumbs are all here when you look at social media past? >> i think it's too early to come to any conclusions about what this particular shooter's motive was. but i think as has been the case tragically so often we see a pattern in elected officials saying we need to send our thoughts and prayers to the families, to the victims. but then not propose iing any action. i think it's important as we all try to come to grips with this one of the most brutal shootings in a house of worship. we also look at the fact that congress should not be paralyzed and unable to act in the face of another event. it seems clear that there was a breakdown in the background

check system that the air force didn't forward to federal officials. the fact that this shooter was convicted of a domestic violence incident. one that led to him being imprisoned for a year. in february of this year, he repealed a step taken by the previous administration to prevent 70,000 americans from being able to access weapons. after the las vegas shooting. senator feinstein introduced a bill which i co sponsored, it hasn't moved to ban so-called bump stocks or trigger cranks the tools that the shooter in las vegas used. i think it's important for us to try to honor the tragedy here. finding a way to come together as a country. and addressing the very real

mental health, public safety and gun safety issues that our congress and federal government has failed to address so far. >> i want to play a little more of what he said, because it's important -- one thing that he said that you didn't mention i want you to hear. here he is. >> this isn't a guns situation we could go into it, it's a little soon to go into it, this is a mental health problem at the highest level. >> you referenced something that could be crucial here. the u.s. air force is admitting they did not enter this information, domestic assault, loaded firearm. assaulting his young stepson so horrifically he caused damage to his skull.

this was not enters in. if it was, he wouldn't have been allowed to buy these guns do you think this is possible? it's not about needing new laws in this case, this is about executing the laws on the books, that's what failed? >> i think we need to do a better job of funding mental health and our national background checks system. there are a number of holes or flaws or weaknesses in our background check system after the tragic shooting in new town, connecticut. a bipartisan bill attempted to address some of the flaws. there have been other proposals put forward. this particular incident may point to another weakness where the military criminal justice system here, there was a breakdown in conveying the information from the air force, i also get the impression that

in texas you don't have to have a permit to purchase and carry a long gun. he was denied a concealed carry permit for a handgun. i do think we need to do more to enforce the laws that we have on the books. i think there are loopholes and weaknesses in how the laws work. >> before you go, the president made those comments in the midst of his asia trip. he wants to meet with vladimir putin at a summit later this week in vietnam. do you think he should? >> the last time president trump met with putin, it was on the sides of a meeting, without the use of a translator. i do think he should sit down

with vladimir putin, if he interfears in our next election the way he interfeared in our last election, he will face serious consequences. i think it's important to bring north korea to account for its wreckless aggressive actions with its missile program. without help from china and russia, we don't stand a chance of a peaceful resolution with north korea. i'm one democrat who will say i think he should try to engage with vladimir putin, but do it in a responsible and measured way. >> thank you, sir. next, president trump moments ago throwing his support behind the massive purge in sau saudi arabia. the king and the crowned prince here who is trying to solidify power and take over knows exactly what he's doing. more questions in the brutal

beating of senator rand paul. a neighbor attacking him and breaking his ribs, what happened. alright, off you go. casual fridays at buckingham palace? surprising. what's not surprising? how much money nathan saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. whether it's connecting one of or bringing wifi to 65,000 fans. campuses. businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink.

a massive purge of princes and one of the world's best known billionaires all arrested by a man who would be king. 11 princes and nearly 40 officials are being detained at the lavish ritz-carlton in riyhad. on the midst of the heels of a missile attack.

the crown prince now has ties to jared kushner, interrupt's son in law, who took an unannounced trip to saudi arabia just days before the mass purge. and was up until 4:00 a.m. hanging out with the crowned prince. the billionaire investor he helped trump out in the 1990s when he had financial issues. during the election he was not a fan of the president. even calling him a disgrace. becky anderson is outfront tonight. this is pretty incredible what we're seeing. the man who would or will soon be king said give him time this is the right thing to do, he's getting rid of corruption. he's letting women drive. then someone told me over night

i suspect he'll be out of power in the next few months. what do you make of what's next here? >> those are interesting thoughts. it was a move that rocked this city. an unprecedented sweep high profile businessmen as you pointed out. authorities insist is intended to put an end to the era of elite indulgence. when asked about the sort of charges we are talking about. one official told me, the new anti-corruption commission was set up to investigate things as wide ranging as embezzlement and extortion. and denied reports that the opponents were the young crown

prince. this is how the foreign minister to mohammed's critics. this is less about graft and more about a power play. by a young crown prince turning those screws on those who oppose him. >> we have a zero policy when it comes to supporting terrorism, corruption and waste and mismanagement. >> the attorney general released a statement earlier saying all those suspected will have full access to legal resources, and the trial will be held in a timely and open manner for all concerned. ominously, the statement weren't on to say, this is not the end, but merely the starts of a vital process to root out corruption where it exists. >> thank you so much. >> thanks.

>> former cia operative for us -- this is incredible. just again the former senior u.s. intelligence official says he'll be out of power if not worse off within the next few months. that was a quote from that person. do you think that's possible? this crown prince is way over his head. this country has been run by consensus in the royal family. now these arbitrary arrests, people i never -- i thought were untouchable at one time are being put in jail. the fact that he's executing princes. the fact that the saudis are even listening to these rumors

tells me this country is on the precipice. we cannot let saudi arabia be destabilized. if something happens here, we're talking about mohamad is threatening iran. he was driven under his orders. he's moving very swiftly on two fronts. i don't see how this can end well for saudi arabia. >> just moments ago, the president just tweeted. i have great confidence in king salmon. the crown prince of saudi arabia, they know exactly what they're doing. some of those, they're harshly treating have been milking their country for years. he sent jared kushner over there

on a quiet visit last week, he and the crown prince were hanging out by some reports. this is a full throated endorsement of what just happened by president trump. >> awith all due respect, president trump knows nothing about saudi arabia. siding with the prince who's making a power grab like this means that if things go badly, we will be blamed, president trump and the united states, and we will pay a price there. i cannot tell you how desire the situation if saudi arabia goes in the wrong way. and if the crown prince is assassinated or something like this, we're going to be involved. the last thing we want is to be involved in a dispute between princes in that country. we will lose. >> thank you very much.

. tonight we're learning more about the motivate behind an attack on senator paul at his kentucky home. he was allegedly attacked from behind by his name boucher. the senator had ended up with

five broken ribs and a bruised lung. as a result, drew griffin is out front. >> reporter: the attack came out of nowhere. senator ran paul reportedly at his riding mower trimming his lawn when he was assaulted. the result, five broken ribs and lung bruises. according to the arrest warrant paul told police his neighbor came on to his yard and tackled him from behind. he had trouble breathing and the defendant admitted going on to paul's property and tackled him. the senator didn't find out until later about the broken ribs. >> it is an open investigation, which means more charges could stem from this. >> reporter: the defendant is paul's next door neighbor, retired an steesologist rene boucher.

the two share a property in kentucky and that's what may have led to the assault. the two have been quibbling for years about lawn waste. one person who used to work with boucher told cnn they were surprised to hear the news about boucher, nothing in his past indicated he'd do something like this. several news organizations initially speculated spotlight ticks might be the motivate, since boucher, a democrat reportedly filled his facebook page with anti-trump postings. it has since been deleted. >> it was absolutely not planned out beforehand. you know, i've seen a couple media spots that would tend to suggest that it was politically motivated, that is absolutely and unequivocally untrue.
