12:00 am
this is cnn breaking news. >> hello and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. we are following breaking news this hour. another mass shooting here in
12:01 am
the united states, just days before thanksgiving. police say multiple people have been killed and wounded at a walmart in chesapeake, virginia. we don't have confirmation on the number of fatalities, but a police spokesperson says it's believed to be less than 10. the gunman is also dead. officers responded to the scene just after 10:00 p.m. local time. we don't know what the gunman's motive might have been, but a source tells cnn he is thought to be an employee or former employee who walked in to a break room and opened fire. >> several officers, many officers also responded. members of the fire department responded and we did basically a tactical entrance and moving in the building. we located multiple fatalities and multiple injured persons. a little while later, through the course of providing treatment, we were able to
12:02 am
establish that we believe -- we believe it's a single shooter. that single shooter is deceased at this time. >> walmart has released a statement saying we are shocked at this tragic event at our chesapeake, virginia store. we are praying for those impacted, the community and their associates. we're working closely with law enforcement, and we are focused on supporting our associates. and i spoke last hour with cnn's brian todd, who is on his way to the scene there in chesapeake. >> what we are told, this is from our colleague john miller from a law enforcement source is that the shooter is believed to be an employee or a former employee who walked into a break room where other employees were and opened fire that is according to law enforcement source. and that is from our colleague john millner new york. it is believed according to that source that the shooter at some point turned the gun on himself. and as you heard police say, he
12:03 am
is deceased, rosemary. but, again, the details are so few and far between at this moment, the shooting happened a little less than four hours ago at 10:12 p.m. local time. walmarts are open. many of them are open 24/7 here in the united states. they are very busy places around thanksgiving and christmas. so a key thing is going to be, a key piece of information to learn is not only how many casualties there are dead and wounded, but how many people were in the store, what witnesses were saying. a lot of this is going to be pieced together later this morning, rosemary. >> it is a horrifying situation for people to try to digest. and brian, as you point out, police, they don't expect to be able to provide an exact number of walmart shooting victims until -- until wednesday, perhaps later wednesday. do we know why they're delaying that announcement? is there any understanding of
12:04 am
what's happening with that? >> well, the police spokesman leo kosinski did say this is a big store, that there are a lot of places to hide, and they have to very meticulously go through the building to see if anyone has been hiding and see if maybe anyone who is hiding, if there is anyone hiding might be wounded. so they are, you know, everybody has been to a walmart in the united states knows they are very, very big places, and there is a lot of places to hide and a lot of -- just a lot of rows and rows and rows of merchandise. and you have to go through each one to see if people are hiding underneath something or something like that. so you can imagine a very meticulous process for the police, even if they believed the danger has passed. >> so brian, do we know how long it could take them to go through this walmart facility, to check for casualties or survivors perhaps still hiding? >> well, you know, when you hear
12:05 am
the police spokesman say that it could be a few hours at least until they can even give us some information on the dead and wounded, you can get a pretty good picture that this is going to take maybe a few hours. i mean, it is overnight, and we've got as many resources as they can. police units, many of them responding to the scene, tactical units and others. so they're very well versed and going through scenes like this. chesapeake and the tidewater area of virginia is not a small area. between towns like chesapeake, norfolk, virginia beach, they're all fairly close together. it's a very heavily populated general area. chesapeake itself not all that big, but it's part of a fairly large what you could call maybe a metropolitan area in that tidewater area of virginia with several mid-sized cities very close together. the police communities in these cities are not -- you know, they have a lot of resources, but they've got to comb through a
12:06 am
very large building with potentially a lot of people still in it. >> cnn's brian todd talking to me last hour. and joining us now on the line is cnn security correspondent josh campbell. good to have you with us again, josh. so another mass shooting in america, this time at a walmart in chesapeake, virginia. police have confirmed the shooter is deceased, but can't confirm the number of fatalities or injuries. but we are learning from a law enforcement source that this shooter was a former or perhaps current employee who entered the break room and opened fire. so what does this indicate to you given your background as a former law enforcement investigator? >> rosemary, two things i'm looking at are the location of the shooting. we're told this took place inside a break room inside the store. and for anyone watching and listening right now, you know walmart. this is a megastore. they have some 10,000 stores around the world in some 24
12:07 am
countries. again, a large facility. they sell groceries. they sell general merchandise. but there is the customer area, which most of russ used to being in. you go, you buy your items, you check out, and you leave. but there is a separate segregated area for employees, the break room where they have their downtime. we're told this shooting took place primarily inside that area. that's key for investigators because that tells you the person appears to have at least some access or familiarity to that particular area. and secondly, looking at the timing of the shooting, we're told that this took place just around the 10:00 p.m. local hour. this store itself closed just an hour later. and so, you know, rosemary, you and i have covered so many of the shootings. not to get too morbid, but obviously, if you are a shooter who is intent on causing widespread carnage, that would not be the time of day you try to shoot, as a store is getting ready to close. that tells me this appears to be very personal. the person perhaps is one of the
12:08 am
so-called injustice collectors that we've talked about so often in these shootings, someone who had some kind of personal grievance. of course, that will all come to life as investigators continue to conduct their investigation. but obviously, no less sad and heartbreaking for the family members of these victims. law enforcement tells us that there are multiple fatalities here, multiple victims involved as they continue to process this scene. one key question will be were there warning signs in advance? as we've seaboard so many of these shootings, there were red flags that someone inside the shooter's orbit had perceived, this was one predisposed to violence, perhaps causing harm to individuals. that will all be something that we'll have to wait and see from investigators as we continue to learn. but obviously a very sad situation in the u.s. state of virginia. yet another mass shooting in the united states. >> yeah. and that is horrifying in itself. as we were speaking, we spoke last hour about the fact that
12:09 am
this comes just a few days after the colorado springs shooting, and then of course it's just it came a couple days before thanksgiving. we know that we're covering school shootings, and so many other shootings. it is a horrifying situation for those of us living in the united states, because nothing appears to be done. we talked about the paralysis that we see in congress. no effort made. and yet so many americans want to see some meaningful gun controls put in place. why are we not seeing that? >> you know, it becomes so political. we often hear after these shootings, particularly republicans saying, well, let's not politicize the gun aspect. but that is the common denominator in so many of these shootings, access to firearms inside the united states. there are more guns in the united states than there are people. and of course, you know, gun rights advocates will say well, this is enshrined in the u.s. constitution. there is a specific amendment that allows gunowners to have
12:10 am
the right to keep and bear arms. but of course that runs head-on into polling that we see in the u.s., particularly by the gallup association, which actually determined that some nearly 90% of americans agree with some type of background check before someone is allowed to access a weapon. we've covered gun rights and gun violence around the world. obviously in the united states, we are the particular outlier when it comes to access to weapons and gun violence. but yet that is something we continue to see time and time again. despite this widespread at least acceptance that we should look into the background of a particular shooter before they were actually able to access a weapon. we don't see meaningful legislation actually moving forward on that front. you know, i've covered by comparison looking at the laws in the nation of canada, our neighbors to the north, north here in the united states, they obviously have robust background
12:11 am
checks. they have a robust process to look into the background of people. they actually interview family members and loved ones before someone is able to gain access to a weapon. and they're looking for the red flags that we've seen in so many of these shootings, whether it was just days ago in the u.s. state of colorado, this shooting at an lgbtq nightclub where it appears based on cnn's reporting that this is someone who was predisposed to violence, who had contact with law enforcement previously. you go back to july 4th on independence day, there was a mass shooting in the u.s. state of chicago that left scores of people dead, many, many injured that shooter had previous contact with law enforcement. the shooter's family had called police saying this is someone who is threatening violence against himself. he is threatening to kill members of his family, yet he was able to access that weapon. so that is the common through-line we continue to see in so many of these shootings. of course, it is still too soon on this virginia shooting that we're reporting on tonight in the state of virginia at this
12:12 am
walmart. we don't know much about the shooter, the background. we're told this is either a current or former employee. but that if past is prologue, that is something we will be keying in on. were there warning signs? how did this person a get a weapon? and was there someone this shooter's orbit who knew something but did not call police to say hey we have a problem here. and tonight we're reporting on people who are dead just a couple of days before the thanksgiving holiday. obviously a tragedy here in the united states, one that we've seen many, many times play out over and over again. >> josh, politicians and american citizens who oppose having any gun controls in place, many of them say this is more about mental illness than the ownership of guns. but in this country, nothings that been done about mental illness either. so the problem is these are two problems this country is dealing with. so what will it do? what does it need to do to put some sort of end to this gun
12:13 am
violence that revisits this country over and over again? >> that is the key point. even people who say -- i talk to lawful gun owners all the time covering the cnn gun beat saying it's one thing to have lawful ownership of a gun. it's quite another to have someone who may have some kind of mental illness that may preclude them or should preclude them from having access to a weapon. but we don't see that groundswell or at least some type of gathering of people across the political aisle, whether it's democrats or republicans saying that yes, we have a second amendment that allows people to have access to weapons. but perhaps there should be some kind of check, much like you wouldn't have someone who is declared mentally ill that would be able to drive a vehicle or that would be able to gain access to other types of weaponry. yet it always comes back to the guns that we see time and time again people who have mental health challenges are able to gain access to these weapons. it's important to point out in the united states there are what are call red flag laws in
12:14 am
certain states. and what that allows is either a police officer or a family member of someone who may be experiencing some type of mental health challenge. they can go to a court, to an independent judge and petition that judge to prevent someone from having access to a firearm. but we often see there is a stigma there, where people say i don't want to take that step because i don't either want to offend my loved one, or maybe that's too cumbersome of a press. but that is the process. that's what it requires in order to try to prevent someone who may have mental health challenges from getting access to a weapon. but we don't often see that followed through. the final point, it's important to point out here in the u.s., public opinion polling shows widespread support for universal background checks, for looking into someone's past. and this isn't to say that someone who might have mental health challenges is a bad person, but should that person have access to a gun? that's a whole different question. we don't see unification around
12:15 am
that key question to try to legislate that, to say that, yes, if there are people out there who may have issues, who may require treatment, maybe they shouldn't have access to a gun that can cause widespread carnage in a short period of time. and of course in so many of these mass shootings, that's exactly what we see. someone who had these red flags, that weren't followed up on, that gain access to a weapon and end up causing massive loss of life, massive carnage, massive injuries and appears at least here in the state of virginia, what we're dealing with tonight. we don't know the background of this particular shooter. but obviously, someone who is intent on causing this kind of widespread harm clearly as issues. the question will be were the people in the shooter's path who should have said something, who should have called police, that's all part of the ongoing situation. >> as you say, we don't know yet. what we do know is the combination of easy access to guns and mental illness can be a very dangerous combination.
12:16 am
cnn's josh campbell, thank you so much. appreciate you big us up to date on the situation. and we are also following breaking news out of jerusalem. israeli police say two explosions that hit different parts of the city today are suspected of being a combined terror attack. at least one person is dead and several others injured. authorities say they are looking for suspects. for more, we want to go to cnn's hadas gold, who is live near the scene of one of the blasts in jerusalem. hadas, what are you able to share with us? >> rosemary, we're at the scene of the first bomb attack. this is actually one of the main entrances into the city of jerusalem. you can see behind me this bus stop. i'll have my cameraman zoom in. police are still gathering up pieces of evidence. you can see what appears to maybe be the blast site where the fence and the rocks along the wall have been broken through. police do believe that a bag or package of some kind was placed here at the bus stop around 7:00 a.m. and it was debt nayed, likely
12:17 am
remotely. and just 30 minutes later, another attack took place, actually just down the hill from here. another some sort of package that police also believe was detonated remotely. police are calling this a coordinated terror attack, the likes of which jerusalem and israel have not seen in years. explosions like these, these were common in the first and second intifada. but israel and jerusalem have not seen the sort of package bombs being placed in several years. this is a deadly escalation, rosemary, to what's already been a very deadly -- it's been the deadliest year for israelis and palestinians since 2015. israelis have seen an increase in the number ever of attacks, rammings, shootings. and a high number of palestinians have been killed in the west bank, many of them they say by israeli forces. but this right here, this is what a lot of people were fearing would be the escalation. because so far it felt as though there was a lot of dry kindling on the ground, just waiting for
12:18 am
some sort of major event, major explosion that could potentially lead to a third intifada. that was the big fear. and that sort of explosion, the types we have not seen since years past, since the second intifada, there is a major fear this is just the start of something greater, of another wave of violence that could plunge this region back into the chaos and the deaths of years ago. rosemary? >> hadas gold joining us there from the scene of one of the blasts in jerusalem. many thanks for bringing us up to date. coming up next we will have the latest on our breaking news, the mass shooting at a walmart store in virginia. do stay with us. biofreeze, the number one clinician recommended menthol topical pain relief brand. works fast. lasts long. cool the pain with biofreeze. when we started selling my health products online our shipping process was painfully slow. then we found shipstation. now we're shipping out orders 5 times fter and we're saving a ton. go to shstation.com /tv and get 2 months free.

the latest now on the mass
12:23 am
shooting in chesapeake, virginia. a law enforcement source tells cnn the gunman is believed to be a walmart employee or former employee who walked into a break room and opened fire. the source says it's believed the shooter at some point turned the gun on himself and is dead. police say they don't expect to release the exact number of victims until later today, but earlier they said the number of fatalities is less than 10. authorities are still working to make sure the sprawling building is safe and secure. one customer who was in walmart during the shooting texted her daughter, and her daughter shared a screen shot of the text exchange with her mother on facebook where she tells her mother to hide. her mother said she saw a victim on the floor. "i'm crying, i'm shaking," the daughter told cnn. "i had just talked to her about buying turkeys for thanksgiving, then this text came in."
12:24 am
the mother is still in shock, but has been reunited thankfully with her daughter. we are getting reaction and updates to the shooting from lawmakers and federal agencies. the u.s. bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives dispatched agents from their washington field division to help assist police in the investigation. virginia senator and state governor mark warner tweeted he is, quote, sickened by reports of yet another mass shooting. and virginia state senator eloise lucas vowed she will not rest until a solution is found to end the gun violence epidemic in the united states. and earlier, she spoke with cnn, saying the issue has gotten out of control. >> it's absolutely horrible. and the thing that makes it so sad is this gun control, this gun violence is out of control and unfortunately we have the power to do something about it. there just is not the will on the part of many of our
12:25 am
legislators, members to do it. all i can say to you this is a sad night for us here in virginia. it's a sad night in chesapeake, and it's going to be a really, really sad time tomorrow morning when people wake up and hear this sad news. but we can do something about gun control. there is too much easy access to firearms. and we have got to do something to bring it under control. many of us have been fighting in the legislature for decades to try to get gun control measures passed. but unfortunately, there is always pushback, pushback, pushback. we've got bring it under control. how many people will have to die before legislatures not only in virginia, but all across this nation come to the reality there is just too much access to firearms? >> and we'll be back with more news on the mass shooting at a walmart in virginia after a short break. you're watching cnn. with a little help. and to support my family's immune health, i choose airborne. unlilike some others,

12:30 am
let's bring you up to speed now on our breaking news this hour. police say multiple people have been shot and killed at a walmart in chesapeake, virginia. and the gunman is dead. we're expecting another briefing once investigators have been able to go through that store. a source tells cnn the shooter is believed to be an employee or former employee who walked into a break room and opened fire. walmart has released a statement saying it's shocked at the tragic events and praying for those impacted. and police provided an update on the situation just a short time ago. take a listen.
12:31 am
>> as far as the investigation, it's basically an all hands on deck type of situation at this point. we have many of our investigators here, and we just piece by piece. we're just taking a little bit at a time. we have plenty of time right now. the store is closed. so we're going to investigate until we get everything complete. >> do you know -- >> there are several outside agencies, but they're assisting with police. the state police is here. i think i saw a virginia beach car just helping with traffic control. >> do you know roughly when, how long it was between when the first officer arrived on the scene and -- >> i do not know that. when the first officer arrived, they went in immediately. but i don't know when they started -- i don't know. >> last time we talked, you said they were methodically clearing the store. department by department, they were still looking for possible fatalities and other victims as well. can you tell us an update on
12:32 am
that? >> i believe that's still going on right now. as big a store as this is, there could be a lot of hiding places. if somebody was in there, they heard something, got scare and ran and hid. we're still in the searching aspect of going through the store just to locate other potential victims, or just people hiding. >> it seemed like the shooter was shooting randomly, targeted? >> i do not know. >> do you know whether or not the shooting appeared to be contained to part of the store at this point? >> i do not know. >> what time do you get expect to get an update on the number of fatales? >> i don't know. i'm hoping some time tomorrow. we're just hours past the incident, so everything is very fluid, very new right now. >> right now next steps for your officer are what it was before? >> correct. we're still clearing until we're confident the entire building is clear and safe and secure. and ten criminal investigation second part starts that could take days.
12:33 am
>> chesapeake police's public information there talking late last night. well, turning now to colorado, where the suspect in the mass shooting at the lgbtq nightclub is now out of the hospital and in jail. anderson lee aldrich is due for an initial court appearance in the coming hours and will face multiple murder charges. the district attorney says hate crime charges are also being considered. we've also learned from new court filings that aldrich identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them prone perot nouns. u.s. police in the state of idaho say they are making progress in the case of four college students who were killed earlier this month, but they still don't know who the killer is or how many people they're looking for. cnn's natasha chen spoke with a representative about what police know so far. >> i asked the police spokesman here whether they're any closer
12:34 am
to finding a suspect. and what i was told is they're definitely making progress. what that means is they've interviewed more than 90 people. they've chased more than 700 leads, and they've set up a portal online for people in the community who might have relevant surveillance footage to be able to upload those videos to police. they say they've received quite a number of submissions. so right now investigators are combing through the very large joyed files to see what may be relevant to hand over to the detectives on this case. now i did ask about the general threat level to the community. after all, a suspect has not been caught. and so this spokesperson tells me that people do need to be vigilant. here's what he said. >> any time that there is a personal of this magnitude of murder, assaults, there is always a threat to the community when those suspect or suspects are out in the community. yes, there are threats. we recognize that. it's always wise for people to walk their door, walk in paris, be alert of what they're doing. there is somebody or some people out there somewhere that are
12:35 am
murderers, and we want to find them and bring them to justice. >> is there more than one suspect potentially? >> potentially. >> he is not ruling out the possibility that there may be more than one person responsible for these killings. meanwhile, the university of idaho sent a message to students on tuesday night saying that for the remainder of the semester, both in person and remote learning options will be available. that's after many students gave their input about how they would like to see the university proceed for the remaining two weeks of the school year after the thanksgiving holiday break. the university president said that faculty will be prepared with remote options. and while remote learning is not preferred, that will be available to students. back to you. >> and we'll be back with more news on the mass shooting at a walmart in virginia after a short break. you're watching cnn.

12:41 am
source says it's believed he took his own life. now this all happened shortly after 10:00 p.m. local time. just two days before thanksgiving. turning now to ukraine, where an official in the zaporizhzhia region says russian rockets struck a maternity ward overnight. authorities say the two-story building was destroyed. a woman who was giving birth at the time and a doctor were rescued from the rubble. the woman's newborn baby was killed. president volodymyr zelenskyy condemned the attack, saying russia continues to fight against civilians and civilian targets. meantime, the head of the country's power grid says a major russian attack last week caused colossal damage at power stations across the country. he says more than 100 missiles were used in the assault on
12:42 am
energy facilities, but now the grid is stabilized as scheduled blackouts continue. but the destruction is widespread. well, the kremlin says russian president vladimir putin will meet this week with the mothers of reservist soldiers called to fight in ukraine. and this comes as complaints have been flooding in from russian soldiers on the front lines. cnn's fred pleitgen has details. >> reporter: stark images from what many believe to be the second strongest military in the world. this video posted on social media purports to show new russian recruits camped out in the snow and cold with little more than tarps for shelter, some trying to warm up by fires. cnn cannot independently verify its authenticity, but those posting it say the soldiers even had to buy their own food to survive. problems during training, problems on the battlefield. these recruits vent their anger at the russian military.
12:43 am
>> translator: we were abandoned without equipment, without everything. where are the tanks? where are the armored personnel carriers? come on. bring it or i'll come for you. >> reporter: dilapidated barracks, horrendous sanitary conditions, poor food. the list of complaints often documented in social media posts like this runs long since russia says it has mobilized more than 300,000 men for the war in ukraine since september with more than 50,000 allegedly already on the battlefield, the kremlin says. some relatives, especially mother, complaining about the treatment of their loved ones. this group in southwestern russia saying their husbands and sons have been sent to the front line without adequate training or gear. >> translator: the commander who gave the order that our men should hold the defense ignored the decree of the supreme commander in chief that the newly mobilized should not be sent to the first line of contact. >> reporter: even in the areas of ukraine that russia has
12:44 am
annexed, mothers are taking a stand. return students to their studies, this sign in donetsk says. >> translator: please return our children. there are many dead, many captured. the rest of the children are physically and morally decimated. >> reporter: soldiers' mothers traditionally carry a lot of sway in russia. and russian president vladimir putin seems eager to show he's not tone deaf to their plight, recently visiting what the military says were new recruit, even firing a sniper rifle himself. trying to convey he cares about the new recruits. >> translator: about our country, of course we have costs. most notably, regarding losses in the special military operation. i think about it all the time. >> reporter: but many mobilized russians and their relatives seem to feel left out in the cold after their country called them up to serve in a war that was never supposed to last this
12:45 am
long. fred pleitgen, cnn, moscow. cnn's selma abd abdelaziz i following the story from london. the power generating facilities, that is according to the head of the country's power grid, what more are you learning about this? >> yes, rosemary. ukrainian officials accusing russia of failing on the battlefield, as you saw in that package from fred pleitgen. the difficulties their soldiers are facing on the front lines. in the absence of a victory on that battlefield, ukrainian officials accusing russia of intentionally targeting its civilian infrastructure of inflicting more and more humanitarian suffering, even far, far from the battlefield. in fact, the world health organization's europe regional director was in kyiv earlier this week to assess the damage, particularly on the power grid. you mentioned there the ukrainian officials saying that
12:46 am
a colossal attack last week, over 100 rockets fired have left most of the country's hydroelectric and thermal plants completely destroyed. half of the ukrainian power grid is either damaged or destroyed in these sustained attacks. again, going back to that world health organization visit, they say 10 million people. that's a quarter of the country's population is without power. they also have documented over 700 attacks on health care facilities. so hospitals and clinics since the beginning of the attack. and these are absolutely life-threatening conditions, rosemary. temperatures are predicted to drop to negative 4 fahrenheit. that's negative 20 degrees celsius this winter, a time when people can't heat their homes, can't even get a cup of warm tea. and then taking you further to the east, right up to where the front lines as well, rosemary, there ukrainian officials saying more civilian suffering, more shelling on neighborhoods in kharkiv this morning at a health care clinic and a school were
12:47 am
attacked. two people killed. and then to the south, absolutely devastating, horrifying story of the maternity ward you mentioned that was attacked, a newborn baby killed in that attack, rosemary. >> so heartbreaking, selma about a abdul aziz bringing us the latest. we'll be back after a short break. you're watching cnn. 12 hours!! not coughing? hashtag still not coughing?! mucinex dm gives you 12 hours of relief from chest congestion and d any type of cough, day or night. mucinex dm. it's comeback season.
