"ac 360" starts now. good evening. we begin tonight with the shooting at a public transit rail yard in california that ended with eight lives lost plus that of the gunman. for the family of the victims tonight is just the beginning of what will be almost unimaginable pain and sadness and that pain will be uniquely theirs. for the country, what happened today was the 232nd pmass shooting of the year according to the gun violence archive. the 17th since last wednesday. california's governor spoke to the reality a short tilme ago.

>> here we are in the united states of america experiencing something that's not experienced anywhere else in the world. there is a sameness and numbness is something we're all feeling but begs the damn question what the hell is going on in the united states of america? is wrong with us? >> dan simon joins us from the scene. dan, what do we know? >> reporter: anderson, as usual, the main question is why? what would cause the shooter to go across the street, target his own co-workers, shoot and kill them? authorities have not established a clear cut motive. authorities did recover multiple weapons at the scene. they haven't said the make and model of the weapons but seems clear he wanted to inflict as much carnage as possible before taking his own life. at 6:34 a.m. the calls started. >> deputies responded and received information there are multiple shots fired calls. >> reporter: just as workers at the maintenance yard were beginning their shift.

>> deputies and running officers responded to the location immediately and addressed the threat and situation. they did not wait. they immediately went into the scene and rendered first aid and rescued victims as fast as they could. >> while shots were being fired, our teams are entering the building. >> we formed multiple tactical teams. >> reporter: around the same time firefighters were responding to a house fire belonged to the suspect. >> it's very complex investigation we now know that san jose is working on the house fire. >> reporter: as of now, law enforcement says the shooter took eight lives before taking his own. >> i know for sure when the suspect knew law enforce 789 was th there he took his own life. >> reporter: valley transportation authority glen

hendriks. >> we are a family. people in the organization know everyone. this is a terrible tragedy and we will do everything we can to help people get through this. >> reporter: as friends and family members desperately search for loved ones, others wanting action and for this to finally stop. >> to the victims and those that lost their lives and the families that lost loved ones, yes, our hearts go out but we're resolved to not make this meaningless but to bring meaning at this tragic moment in our state and nation's history. >> dan, i understand authorities also found explosives at the site? >> reporter: that's right. a bomb sniffing dog was brought in and discovered the smell of explosives. right now a robot is goiing roo to room within the large facility trying to find potentially more explosives and anderson, i mentioned earlier we

don't have a clear cut motive but one thing to note is that the shooters ex-wife spoke to the bay area news group, a cnn affiliate and mentioned during their ten-year marriage he spoke angrily about his co-workers and bosses and seemed to be unhappy about his work. she hasn't spoken to him in years but i'm certain investigator tors will want to speak to her. >> jonathan a freelance photo journalist that went to the scene joins us by phone. jonathan, you took a video of that that we're about to show. can you you can walk us through what happened and how you got it? >> yeah, i actually live in, you know, in the mile radius are the shooting occurred and heard a lot of commotion from my apartment and started hearing police sirens, firefighters and, you know, just based off of my instinct as a journalist, i

decided to check and see what is lapp happening in my area and i saw a large fire response going towards younger where the shooting occurred so i just wanted to go see what is happening and as i was leaving my redesidence, i saw a lot of lights and sirens going towards the scene. >> how quickly were you getting to the scene? did you hear gunshots or see action of police and know something was going on? >> so i just heard a lot of sirens. i live in a mile radius, took he three minutes to get to the scene and on my way there, i did hear a loud gunshot and echoed through the neighborhood because it's a pretty quiet area. you doesn't get a lot of these things happening in this part of town. it very quiet. very residential. you have the police department.

you have the sheriff's office and training facilities here and it's just really surprising to even know that was happening just not far away from home. >> when you got to the scene, at what point did you realize this wasn't a drill or false alarm or fire? when did you realize it was an active shooter situation? >> until they started bringing people out. i didn't -- like i said, when i was going there, i didn't really know what was happening and, you know, just thought it was training, and, you know, when i got there and say they were bringing victims out and seeing the bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets, i realized something was really happening and just seeing what i saw was just really a shock. >> yeah. john na jonathan, appreciate you showing

us your video. thank you very much. there is more breaking news tonight a warning from a highly respected federal judge handling cases in the capitol hill attackers. the threat has not gone away because the former president's big election lie hasschneider j the story. talk more what we've learned from the judge. >> this is from amy berman jackson. she's an outspoken judge in washington and says the public can be endangered if capitol riot defendants were released from jail because of the lies that brought them to the capitol on january 6th and inspired them. she says they are being repeated by former president trump and news organizations. this is what judge amy berman jackson wrote in the 26-page opinion tonight. she said the steady drum beat that inspired defendants to take up arms has not faded away. six months later, the canard

that the election was stolen is being repeated daily on major news outlets and from state and federal government not to mention the near daily full men nations of the former president, that being trump. that was a pblunt assessment of the political climate and how it poses the danger throughout the society. judge amy berman jackson wrote the words as part of her ultimate decision to keep the defendant in this case cleveland meredith in jail because she says he posed a danger to the public. this is a man who alleged texted he wanted to shoot nancy pelosi on live tv and hauled a trailer of guns and ammunition allegedly here to washington. he has pleaded not guilty but obviously the judge in this case not holding back in the 26-page opinion keeping him in jail. >> she's not the first federal judge to issue this kind of a warning. >> no. we've seen it repeatedly over the past weeks and months that this continued push of the big lie may actually be keeping

alive some of the grass roots anger that led to the capitol attack in january. so we've heard from several judges. one being the d.c. federal judge sullivan in april and he was concerned the dissatisfaction over the election some americans have still hasn't dissipated and also referenced the constant public colmments we're hearing from former president trump what he's calling the stolen election and judge paul freed manman her d.c. said one of the defendants that drove cross country with guns, the fact this defendant idolized former president trump and believed the lies about election fraud. this is an on going concern for judges as these people who carry out the attack, their still appearing in court and because of this concern from these judges, many continue to be kept behind bars because of the danger these judges say they still schneider, appreciate

it. >> a development sure rounding the grand jury surrounding the former president or his organization that could signal a change and shift from collecting evidence to presenting a case. later and this is pretty amazing, new reporting how difficult it is for the mother of brian sicknick to get answers prom the january 6th ai tttack. keeping them honest.

i have a convenience store delivery for super grover? oh, yeah, he said just put it there- ah! perfect timing. now get more than just restaurant deliveries. doordash. ah, so soft.

we've got 'em on the ropes. the billionaires buying elections. the corporate special interests poisoning campaigns with dark money, frantic to preserve big-money politics as usual. because the for the people act is on the verge of becoming law. reining in corporate lobbyists, finally banning dark money, and protecting our freedom to vote. billionaires and special interests, your day is nearly done. because it's time for the people to win.

more breaking news involving the special manhattan jury to hear charges against the trump organization and perhaps the former president. the manhattan district attorney cyrus vance has the grand jury looking to the former president's tax returns and the overall finances of the company. paul joins us with the dev devel developments. what do we know about what prosecutors are focussing on? >> we learned one witness has been told by investigators to prepare to go before a grand jury so this signals this long

running investigation has been going on for two years is enteringed a a ed an advanced s. it continues to gather evidence and they can test their case to see whether they have gathered enough to potentially bring an indictment against the former president or anyone else. this investigation specifically is pretty wide ranging but really it focused on questions about whether the trump organization lied about its assets looking at whether they went to the banks to get loans, they inflated assets and when time to pay taxes, they may have devalued their assets so they didn't have to pay as much. the former president, anderson, has denied any wrongdoing and dismissed this as he does with most investigations calling it a witch hunt. >> do we know who the d.a.'s office may look to as potential witnesses? >> the potential crime is fraud and as we know, the former president, anderson, he doesn't email and tend to leave a paper trail so what prosecutors are going to need, they need a

witness who is in the room with him, anyone who talked about these specific issues. so all eyes are on the long-time trump organization cfo allen weisselberg. he's the guy if he's willing to cooperate, he could really give investigators insight about the inner workings of this organization. he's also facing his own investigation into his taxes which could help pressure him to actually cooperate in this investigation but we'll see and anderson, just because there is a grand jury, no guarantee the former president or anyone at all in this investigation will be charged but a former prosecutor tells cnn that it would be very rare to convene a special grand jury in manhattan that didn't at least consider charges. >> appreciate it. want to get perspective from linda blare and the author of the trump's three generation of builders and a presidential candidate and also with us, cnn

legal analyst illelliott willia. what does it tell you where the manhattan's d.a. investigation is at given they said to prepare for grand jury testimony. >> the district attorney believes there is evidence of a crime. you know, it would be responsible for any prosecutor's office to have reached this point and not believe that there is at least some suggestion there is a crime. look, in the grand jury the prosecution has a relatively low bar to clear, it's probable cause to believe that a crime has be committed which means in plain language it's more likely than not a crime was committed. it seems based on the fact they are calling evidence and where they are, they probably know more than that and are calling witnesses to establish that. so this is beyond the point where they're just poking around and looking for documents and i think they're in all likelihood on to something. >> couldn't it be possible they want a witness to explain complex documents that the grand jury will be looking at?

>> it could be. you know, witnesses can come in to sort of help authenticate or make sense of documents but again, when you're talking about an investigation into a former president and frankly, step back and note and we should always note how significant this is. history has never seen this. the law has never seen this. and it's in their interest to only bring evidence that will get them more than a fishing expedition, i think, and closer to bringing charges. so yes, it could be but, you know, i think it's hard to believe that or see that at this point. >> we don't know who the witness is or if there is more than one. we know prosecutors have been investigating as we were just hearing the trump organization cfo allen weisselberg. he had been with the company for almost 50 years. paula talking about them looking into his taxes and one of his children, as well. based on your reporting for your

book, is there really much he doesn't know about what has gone on there? >> is there much allen weisselberg doesn't know? >> yeah. >> the simple answer is no. he figured out tax strategies for the last half accepcentury. he's the guy. >> so what role -- i mean, he has been the person in charge of all of that all this time? >> he has been -- he was an accountant, he started in 1973. that was before donald trump actually took over the business. so he's been there the whole time. he's the guy who figured out the strategy that trump used to pass on as his estate to his children and to avoid taxes. so corporations, all kinds of things documented extensively in the new york time as few years ago in a lengthy series and

allen wiseisselberg figured tha out. when i interviewed donald trump, it was back when he was at trump tower, of course, and everybody -- he had a very small staff. i was surprised how small it was. and some very stylish looking people there. a very glitzing stylish environment. in the corner was this green ey he wasn't there for glamour or any of that. he was there because he knew how to do tax strategies and he's been there for this whole time. he knows. >> elliott, what kind of leaders do prosecutors have to get something like, you know, the accountant to cooperate with then? we've seen this in mob cases and mob movies where it the acc

account -- accountant that brings people down. >> if prosecutors are investigating an organization for financial or tax irregularities, the last person on earth an organization wants is the four decade tenured chief financial officer. the huge incentive to answer your question, anderson is the risk of prosecution of him or his own family and i think what prosecutors can hold over him is either look, you can plead to a particular charge or you can plead to a big charge or we can go after members of your family or go after you more seriously and so avoiding being prosecuted or having loved ones beprosecuted is a huge incentive and for someone that might be loyal to an organization or the principal of the organization, imagine if allen weisselberg wishes to remain loyal to the trump family, i don't know, but, you know, the risk of being prosecuted and avoiding that

could be a huge incentive to motivate behavior. prosecutors do it all the time as a means of securing guilty pleas for people who are cooperating. >> allen weisselberg's former daughter-in-law told the new yorker his whole worth does donald like me today? it his whole life and core being. he's obsessed and has more feelings and admiration for donald than his wife end quote and said he thinks he would flip and cooperate if necessary to protect himself. i mean, it a stunning portrayal of this person and again, all these people around the former president who seem to pledge him loyalty even though loyalty is not something he himself pledges to anyone. >> the simple fact is, yes, that might be a one-sided loyalty but the simple fact is if this is a question of going away for

months or years in prison, what is that going to get you and that is a question that criminal defendants target subjects face all the time and based on what we know, this individual will have to confront here. >> glenda, does it make sense to you, this whole loyalty thing to this person? >> his core staff and allen weisselberg, one of them, shortly -- loyalty, he puts a great emphasis on. going to jail, that's the ultimate test and his own daughter-in-law, you know, former daughter-in-law, she said something very interesting. she said the way that the kirks and benefits are handed out is

to keep them dependent and afraid to not stay there and keep them docile and i think that is verylen weisselberg. he's the poster child for how successful that's been in the trump organization. he was the -- we have to remember that he was the c co-c co-trustee of the setup when donald trump moved to the white house, his two sons would run the company and the third person running it was allen weisselberg. he's absolutely been in the midst of everything, everything. the midst of donald trump being able to gain the bankruptcy system and end up being, you know, wrote up over a billion dollars in debt and you said to offset paying taxes for years and years and years for him having to pay taxes of $750 in

2016 and 2017? >> yeah. >> that's allen weisselberg's handy work. >> appreciate your time and elliott williams, thanks so much. the next question to investigate the january 6th attack on democracy and the mother of a fallen capitol police officer might not get answers from the lawmakers that will be voting on that commission. magenta? magenta!

given the federal judge's warning the former president's big lie about election fraud, this is not just about recement history but spokes to those who may close their eyes to what may c come. brian si cknisicknik's mother wk to the congress to investigate the attack that cost her son his life. you would think no senator could refuse her but some answers are hard to come by. first, when you think about it it's hard to believe some lawmakers would refuse to see her or hard to believe there are human beings that witnessed the worst assault on democracy since the civil war that don't want to be reminded when thigh saw with their eyes or a grieving mom which i guess should not come as

is surprise considering the reason gop senators are given for opposing the january 6th commission and some argue it comes too late and would spill over into an election year that imposes a december 31st deadline and others say it comes too soon and there is this guy. >> you know, if you didn't know the tv footage was a video from january 6th, you would think it was a normal tourist visit. >> congressman adam clyde, his remarks are so ludicrous and offensive that his mother gladis included it in her letter to lawmakers today. quote, he and his fellow offices fought for hours and hours against those animals trying to take over the capitol building and our democracy while fighting congressmen were locked in their offices said it looked like tourists walking through the

capitol. re really? she added i suggest all congressmen senators against this bill visit my son's grave in arlington national cemetery and think about what their hurtful decisions will be for them going forward. more from jamie gangel who joins us and the man that swore officer sicknick in. jamie, first of all, what are you learning? >> well, the list of senators who have said yes has been influx all day. we are reaching out to everyone thus far according to a source familiar with the list only 15 senators have said yes. these are republican senators out of 50. we've been told seven others including mitch mcconnell have offered that mrs. sicknick could

meet with staff members. that leaves 28 other members. our source said some of the senators have told them no but cnn is in the midst of reaching out to the entire conference. i think it's not unimportant to note at the beginning of today, some people said no and when we called them, all of a sudden they switched to yes. >> chief, what does it say that some republican senators won't take the time to meet with officer sicknick's mom. >> it reinforces some don't get the seriousness of what went on and sacrifices made by these officers. it's pitiful and there is no reason they can't spare a few minutes for the mother of this fine officer and she certainly has a right to speak for him. >> jamie, do you think that anybody would actually change their mind after speaking to officer sicknick's mind?

>> it's hard to say at this point. right now, there are only three members, mitt romney, susan collins and lisa murkowski who have said that they will vet to allow a vote on the commission to go forward. my sense is when you look at the numbers today, 15 will meet with her and mitch mcconnell has a very firm grip on his conference and he does not want this commission. >> chief, you knew officer sicknick personally. you swore him in and i want to read more of the letter from his mom. she says putting politics aside, wouldn't they want to know the truth of what happened on january 6th? if not, they don't deserve to have the jobs they were elected to do. what do you think the message it sends to capitol police, force if the commission gets voted

down tomorrow? >> we talk a lot about the trust the officers have to gain with the public but i think but i think the congress and members need to regain trust of the officers. the officers are still hurting from the 6th and the loss of this officer and the other two that resulted aout of this and need affirmation except for a nod they care about them and can take action to try to find out what happened so we can unprove, make sure it never happens again so all i've got now in the past four months is really a lot of lip service about thank you very much, you're our heroes, we did let you lie in honor but now let move on and that's not fair. >> what do you remember about officer sicknick? you swore him in in 2003, was it? >> yes. one of the things when you swear these young men and women in, a,

they look so old -- or young to us olders and whether you see them in and around the capitol doing their job, how proud you are of them. he and the other two that died were people that i talked with, interacted with and other staff members talked very highly of them as do their contemporarcon. we owe them this. these members whether democrats or republicans owe something to these officers and the other people who fought up there that day to get to the bottom of this and figure out how we can prevent it. how possibly could they not want to meet with this man's mom? i mean, it's like he's calling from the grave. talk to her. if you can look her in the wry and deny this, i guess-off manned up. >> appreciate your time. jamie gangel. thank you. adam clyde, andrew, not adam. a mystery whether covid-19

emerged from a chinese lab, next. i have an idea for a trade. why don't you call td ameritrade for a strategy gut check? what's that? you run it by an expert, you talk about the risk and potential profit and loss. could've used that before i hired my interior decorator. get a strategy gut check from our trade desk. ♪

president biden tasked his intelligence agency to investigate the coronavirus origin after it was found several wuhan lab researchers became ill and had to be hospitalized and comes after cnn learned of a secret investigation by the former president's department into the origins of the virus that the biden administration shut down. kaitlan collins joins us and dr. l lina nguyen. these are the most substantive stiem statements we got from president biden. it suggests he saw something that's driving this in the reports heed a ehad requested? >> it does. he wasintelligence, he asked jake sullivan about this back in march and said they came to him.

he had followup questions for them and now because of whatever he saw in the followup questions, he's directing them to lead this effort into basically getting a better answer as to what the origin of this could be. he said the intelligence community went around the two ideas but both have low to moderate confidence in the fact they are right in what their theory is. he wants a more definitive answer so he's instructing them to do this. it gives you this indication maybe he thinks there could be credibility behind this theory of a lab leak because he does want them to put the full force of the federal government behind it. >> and kthe cnn reporting the biden administration shut down a state department effort looking into the origins of the virus is raising eyebrows but not clear cut because it was run by allies of mike pompeo and concerns about political motives. that said, how is the biden administration justifying the move? >> that's the big question facing them because their disputing it was shut down and saying the investigation came to

an end and its work was done but i think it raises questions because obviously it did not come to a conclusion over what the ultimate affect was. obviously, there are still questions that's why president biden wants this investigation to go on and putting the u.s. intelligence community behind it. there was concern when you talk to biden officials when it was attached to someone like secretary of state pompeo who pushed it against other experts, people were doubtful of it and saw president trump pushing it, as well. it's surprising to see the biden administration waited this long to say yes, we're going to put the intelligence community behind this but it speaks to the level of they want to figure out what is going on here. they don't seem to think china is being cooperate. we have known they haven't been corporative and want answers to this. whether or not we get those, it remains to be seen. >> we talked about this topic. you did your masters thesis on the health care system. i wonder what your reaction to the reporting is. >> i think it's really important

that we get to the bottom of this and clearly, the world health organization hasn't been successful in their effort, which would have been ideal so i do think it's really important the biden administration takes a hard look at the two dominant theories there. it's important we find out for the purposes of preventing the next pandemic to know is this the spillover animal theory or is there is a lab leak in which case you might want to strengthen better protections in labs. i want to say it's really important for whatever investigation that occurs to follow the scientific method because the last thing we want to do is to have a predetermined conclusion and then to cherry pick our answers accordingly. perhaps that was the problem with the investigation under the trump administration that they already had a conclusion in mind and that's why i hope the biden team keeps an open mind and they really look at the scientific data and the facts as they come

in because overall this is about the health and well being of the americans and the world. >> without cooperation from the chinese, i mean, dr. nguyen, it will be extremely difficult to get answers. >> right and even if the chinese government co-operated at this point, there is an open question are they falsifying documents. can we trust what it is they are putting forward? there are lots of lab samples we know are out there including of researchers, individuals who are sick early in the pandemic. do we have access to them now if we can get access, how do we know what we're getting is real? so i think this is why having, of course, having cooperation would be ideal but even if we got cooperation, i think there needs to be some intelligence and people looking into this to say whether we're getting truthful and accurate information. >> is there a sense of how long this will take? i know the biden administration obviously wants it as soon as possible. >> so president biden said 90 days he wants them to get back to him by then but the question

that remains then is do we get to find out what president biden is learning in 90days? does the president wait to dec declassify that? the white house is trying to be cautious saying they don't know for sure they are going to magically find out where this came from and what happened in 90days from now. they're saying it could be a little vague. president biden is clear in his statements he wants something more definitive by then. we'll see what happens at the end of the 90 days or if a determination is made by that point. >> thanks very much. we're joined by the mother of ronald green that died in police custody. she'll join a big march tomorrow on police accountability. greatest potential. unlocs tomorrow's potential. we have to look... we need to look beyond what we recognize. beyond what's familiar. we have to look where we haven't looked before.

tomorrow in baton rouge, louisiana, the aclu and naacp of louisiana will hold a rally for justice in honor of ronald greene. his family will be there. he's the black man who was punched, repeatedly tasered, kicked and dragged by his feet

by louisiana state troopers two years ago. this is some of the body cam video cnn obtained last week. authorities have since released all of the video. they have been sitting on it now two years. greene's family say police told them he died in a car crash after a police chase. the family filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit. joining me tonight is ronald greene's mother. thank you for joining us again. we learned this week that one of the troopers involved in your son's arrest and what we saw in that video was fired over the use of force in another unrelated incident. when you heard that, what did you think? he wasn't arrested, he wasn't -- there's been no repercussions for being involved in what happened to your son, it's just some other incident. >> and that's what -- that's what i'm so infuriated by that

because they think that this is worse than a band-aid on a murder. and i don't understand how they can even apply this on any level. the fact that you already had one who supposedly died in a car crash, hollingsworth. you had another one who 50 hours administrative leave. we're talking about murder. it's clear, straight-out murder. >> in some of the video, one of the officers, i believe it's in the video, says that he didn't want to put your son up into a sitting position because he didn't want to get blood on him. he was afraid your son was going to cough up blood on him. i mean that's -- that's extraordinary. >> you know what you see in this video, they're really some sick individuals here. and it's really sad that these sick individuals are employed by

the louisiana state troopers. and they're continuously on a lot of issues. my son isn't the first. and it's really sick what you see here, how these people with badges, killing and torturing my son to the point that they killed him. >> it's clear in this video that this is not the first -- that they are not experimenting with stuff that they haven't done before. it seems they all are pretty comfortable, multiple -- tasering your son multiple times, screaming at him, getting him out of the vehicle, beating him, dragging him by his feet while he's handcuffed, putting their foot onto your son to push him down to the ground so he can't get off his chest. i mean is that the sense you have from watching this video as well, that they have done this before likely? >> oh, yes. oh, yes. and the word you use and i agree

totally is they're very comfortable with this, to the point that they know when it's done, someone else above them will help cover this up. it's like they're giving these badges to go out, find you somebody, kill them. we'll take care of it here. this cover-up, this corruption. it's not only the state troopers. it's those who employed them to let this happen. >> also, i mean they afterward were texting each other joking about it. i mean they're police officers who know about evidence. it clearly would seem to indicate they're either the stupidest people on the planet or they just assume no one is going to look into what happened, no one is going to care what happened, and if they do, it will just be covered up. i mean i don't understand, these are police officers texting about, you know, jokingly about, you know, beating up your son,

his blood. i mean it's incredible. >> yeah, and you know, anderson, what's so gut wrenching is the fact that this story, this back-and-forth of this nightmare, of this obvious killing of my son, ronnie, you know, it started from day one. they knew what happened. the cover-up started way back then. fast forward, september of 2020 and then we're there. we're invited there to see these videos, but they give us only a small portion of it. and then part of it has no sound to it. and then we leave. but the whole time we're there, they have already made plans of letting colonel reeves retire. they already made plans of was it dakota demoss, cory york with the 50 hours administrative leave. they already had that planned.

so it was like a photo op. it's a big joke for the family of ronald greene. and i'm so mad. i was so, so mad. it's -- it's -- here we are. how -- how are we trying to justify what we clearly see is a murder, and why do we keep this back and forth so that it can be politically correct for those that don't want to get thrown under the bus but they're going to decide who's going to pay for this while the rest just go on to glory. that's how i see it, you know, the corruption level. >> mona hardin, i appreciate your time and you'll be in baton rouge lending your voice. thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you. next up, an update on the mass shooting in san jose, california. the staggering toll of mass shootings to date this year alone when we continue. into this chip i invested in invesco qqq
