videotape of a toddler with a gun. an indiana man who is believed to be his father now in police custody as a result. so you'll see the little boy in this video here, you see him waving that gun around, even pulling the trigger at one point. it happened saturday and was shown live as part of the ride along series "on patrol live." >> this is it. of the -- oh, man, wow. this is the child with the loaded weapon -- >> pulling the trigger right there. >> yeah. >> police in beech grove, indiana were responding to a neighbor's call and saw the young boy playing with the weapon outside wearing a pull-up. jean casarez joining with more. what happened here on saturday? >> the neighbors called the police because they saw this happening with their own eyes. he even went to one neighbor's door and knocked on it and say look what i have so the police arrived and the neighbors were talking amongst themselves. we want you to take a listen
10:02 am
first of all to these neighbors. >> i opened the door he went to flip it up and i shut the door, told everyone to get away from the door. like he has a gun. >> it's a toddler in a diaper walking around with a handgun. >> it takes that long for -- >> no, no, no, i'm talking about the bleep mr. parents upstairs. >> reporter: the police go to the apartment. the little boy, the toddler answers the door, they walk in, they don't see anyone else. they do a cursory search to see if anything is in plain view. they can't find a gun so they leave and they go back down and then a neighbor says, i've got the surveillance video. you've got to watch it and so the officers look at the surveillance video and they see what was just on our screen, the little toddler waving around and pulling the trigger on the gun so they go back up to the apartment and shane osbourne is there and he says, i've been really sick, i was asleep.
10:03 am
i had no idea he went outside. i have never brought a gun into this apartment. my cousin has kept his gun here when he's not feeling mentally stable. but i don't know there's a gun here and so he authorizes and concepts to a search. there it is. they find the gun in a rolltop desk. the officer immediately takes out the bullets, 15 bullets were in that gun but it did not go off because there was no one bullet in the chamber. he has now been charged, osbourne, with neglect of a dependent. his first court hearing is on thursday. arresting charges at this point, we'll have to see what prosecutors do. >> there is so much of that, jean, i know you'll stick around with us because as we look at this. and this story, there's a lot here when it comes to the discussion of access to guns in this country and children so let's take a look at the numbers. 4.6 million kids live in a home with at least one unlocked loaded gun. nationwide more than half of gun
10:04 am
owners say they don't lock them securely and in many states they don't is to. 23 states and washington, d.c. have gone storage law, only 8 mandate that they be secured. and we know there are a lot of guns in this country. the numbers bear that out, more than one for every person in the u.s. and know that most gun owners in the united states, they favor sensible regulations because they know it keeps them and keeps others safe but the recent headlines tell us there is a lot of work to do. in texas a 14-year-old girl is now facing murder charges after allegedly shooting an 11-year-old boy over the weekend. now, she was reportedly aiming at another teen but that young bystander was killed. two teens in atlanta also facing murder charges after november shooting that killed a 12 and 15-year-old. and a first grade teacher in virginia still recovering after a 6-year-old brought a gun to school and shot her. cnn's senior law enforcement analyst charles ramsey is joining jean and me now. when we look at this, it's important to note these are all
10:05 am
different scenarios but at the end of the day each one in each scenario, a child was able to get their hands on a gun. in your experience what we're seeing now, is it easy for a kid to get a gun? >> well, obviously it is, i mean, it's not that difficult. the two that are most concerning, all of them are concerning, but the toddler you just showed the video of walking around with the gun and also the 6-year-old that shot the teacher. i mean, some of these teenagers intentionally get their hands on guns and have the intent of using think the but those two young -- the children, young children, there's no way they knew what they were doing. that's on the parents and the fact that there aren't any gun safety laws in a majority of our states says a lot. i mean you have a right to bear arms. you don't have a right to be careless. as far as the teenagers go, that's pretty typical. believe me, you see that quite often on the streets of our city where you have teenagers with
10:06 am
guns that use those guns to commit aggravated assault, even murder. >> and so i want to come back to the teenagers in a moment. when we look at the younger children, jean, you're also an attorney, if a child uses a gun, what is the liability for a gun own injure. >> you know, all of our states have different law, right? there have been civil liability issues with parents, this case right here is criminal. he's being charged with neglect which is a felony but there is a precedent-setting case right now that we are following, i've been out to michigan on it. it's ethan crumbley. he committed a mass shooting at his high school and he pleaded guilty to everything. precedent setting, his parents james answer jennifer corum are charged with involuntary manslaughter which has a number of years in prison saying you caused the death because you purchased this gun for him when
10:07 am
he was not mentally stable and you should have known that. you violated a duty but it's with the appellate court now because the defense said, this should not go to trial. you don't have the evidence to show that the parents caused the death. so it's before the appellate court. there will be oral argument. it will be huge because if it goes forward, if there would be a conviction this is precedent seting. >> absolutely. as we follow that closely, you know, you noted talking about teenagers can get hands on a gun in most cases and this may be the way that they are choosing to deal with the situation, which i think raises an important question as to whether or not we as a country as a society are ready to deal with that, to deal with the fact that guns see all over the place, right, whether you're a toddler, a 6-year-old a teenager but the message we are sending as a country, as a society in many cases is that the way to deal with your issue is to do it through violence and in some
10:08 am
cases a gun. the chances that we actually have that real conversation, commissioner, what do you think? >> i don't think it's going to happen. i mean, listen, and i mean history has shown us it doesn't. we're talking about it now but it will happen over and over and over again but our elected officials lack the courage to sit down, have a conversation and come up with something reasonable that will keep the guns out of hands of individuals, not just toddlers and young children, but teenagers and others that should not have guns. it is not going to happen because we don't have the guts as a country to really have that kind of conversation and then take action. i don't see anything changing personally but, again, hold people accountable, parent, they need to be prosecuted if they're allowing their children to have access to their guns because they're not safely maintained. i was a police officer. i raised a son. i kept my gun in a locked box. i mean, you know, i did not just
10:09 am
let it lay around, you know, even though i'm a law enforcement officer, i mean, obviously had a right to have a gun and was part of my equipment but i was careful with that gun. now i have a grandchild. same thing. i keep it locked up. there's no excuse for it. none. zero. >> charles ramsey and jean casarez, thanks to you both. looking at the dangerous intersection of politics and violence, a failed gop candidate in new mexico is in custody accused in a string of shootings at the homes of democratic political leaders. authorities in albuquerque say solomon pena claimed election fraud after he lost the state house race and they say he conspired with four men to shoot at the homes of two state legislators and two county commissioners and then just moments ago cnn actually got access to the ring doorbell camera footage of pena looking for one of the officials. take a look. [ knocking on door ]
10:10 am
>> hello. high name is solomon pena. can i speak with debbie o'malley? >> she doesn't live here anymore. >> okay, well, the public record says she owns it. do you know where she lives? >> yeah, she lives around the corner. >> okay, thank you and sorry for bothering you. >> that's okay. >> no one was injured in the shootings. the incidents do add to concerns about the simmering anger stoked by election deniers. josh campbell is with us now. josh, look, it's so disturbing when we think, again, not just with children but across the board, the ways in which people are choosing to carry out their grievances. what more do we know about the investigation at this 39? >> reporter: this is exactly what federal law enforcement has been warning about for the past few years. that is, there was a segment of society out there. when they hear election lie, some of them start to believe it, internalize it and for those predisposed to violence that could lead to attacks.
10:11 am
early on in this investigation that is what could be at play. this solve, solomon pena, this is as you mentioned someone who ran for the statehouse in new mexico as a republican, he lost in a landslide but we're hearing from witnesses and from police that he apparently made visits to some of these officials that were ultimately allegedly targeted with gunfire telling about his grievances saying he believed that he actually won the election. now, he was arrested yesterday by the albuquerque s.w.a.t. team. police say he conspired with four other men to shoot at the homes of four democratic officials, it's worth pointing out we have attempted to reach pena for comment. these shootings occurred between december 4th and january 3rd and in the latest pena himself actually pulled the trigger. we've been going through the arrest warrant affidavit, it is chock-full of very chilling detail and one example there's actually a cooperating witness who agreed to help police who said that the co-conspirators originally targeted above the windows in residences, but pena allegedly told them that, no, he
10:12 am
wanted them to get more aggressive, to shoot lower at a time of day when they wouldn't be asleep and laying horizontally and looking at his social media presence as well getting insight into his mindset. a couple of his tweets. one was in response to representative hakeem jeffries now the house minority leader slamming election deniers, pena responds that new mexico elections are absolutely rigged. he says we will pursue justice. in another he says his own election was rigged saying i will fight it until the day i die. now, we're still waiting to hear what is going to happen to those other four individuals. police continue to investigate. they don't yet know if those men knew who they were shooting at or just hired to fire at random at these targets, a lot more investigating yet to be done but certainly a chilling story in new mexico. someone who was seeking public office and appears because he didn't like the way the election went decided to pick up guns and go after those democratic targets, again, that's something
10:13 am
we've been hearing from our law enforcement sources for some time now that they continue to be worried about. not thhypothetical. they're real. >> real world examples of this added concern related to political violence. appreciate it as always. thank you, josh. >> reporter: you bet. the white house is in crisis mode at this hour. we're told more searches could be on the way to see if any more classified documents may be at locations connected to president biden. and as for the president himself, well, we're also learning he's becoming frustrated with how this is being handled. how the story is being handled by his administration. cnn chief white house correspondent phil mattingly joining us now. so, the president is frustrated. i mean, look, we've all been asking questions, you more than any of us for the last several days about what the strategy is here and how they're communicating. what is this level of frustration with the president? >> reporter: you know, i think, look, you can kind of track back the time line, erica, get a
10:14 am
sense of where things stand in the sense that the president was surprised when he was first briefed when these first batch of documents were first discovered in early november that they existed at all and i think the rollout over time kind of a drip by drip by drip has served to frustrate not just the president but his senior team in part because what they wanted to be working on and focused on over the course of the first couple of weeks of this year whether related to the deceleration of inflation or implementation of his legislative agenda they fell like they had a good story to tell and hitting a high point for the administration and instead focused or trying to answer or not answer questions related to this ongoing investigation. i think another piece of this too the fact that over the course of including the nearly month-long period where we had no idea this was actually happening behind the scenes it was the president's personal attorneys who were involved in this and they were the ones that were driving things. this is now out of their control. this is in the control of the special counsel right now, white house officials have acknowledged that to some degree
10:15 am
there is a very real tension between what they can say publicly, how they can message things publicly and ensuring that investigation continues without any type of kind of interference or anything that would throw things off or potentially reflect poorly on where the president and his team stand. that's something thaeks ises now and heard about it from a white house spokesman addressing this. the core of that conference call made very clear, there's two things happening, one, abbage knowledgement for all of the unanswered questions that remain white house officials are steadfast they do not believe they can or will answer them in the weeks ahead so long as the investigation is ongoing. the idea they're trying to get their footing after an uneven week and start to shift things over to focus on house republicans. we've seen house republicans have already launched two investigations into this issue, white house officials say they aren't saying one way or another whether they'll comply but making clear they will comply or at least consider good faith efforts then going on to attack them for being basically showing
10:16 am
outrage they didn't show with the president biden's predecessor making clear they believe there is a lot of hypocrisy at play right now turning into a political messaging war as opposed to what we saw over the course of the prior seven days which was a lot of unanswered questions and new details slowly coming out piece by piece by piece. >> we'll see what comes of that, of that plan. phil, appreciate it, as always. thank you. outrage growing at this hour after russia's deadly missile strike on an apartment building in ukraine. dozens of civilians killed, children among them. so what happens now with that outrage. another twist in the story of that missing massachusetts mom. turns out her husband was not the first person to report her missing. a new study reveals just how dangerous covid can be for pregnant women. earning on my favorite soup. aaaaaah. got it. earn big with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback?

apartment building in dnipro has risen to 45. six of those victims are children. five others lost their parents and they're now orphaned. ukraine's first lady condemning the attack earlier when she spoke at the world economic forum. >> translator: there is nothing off limits for russia. as we speak in our city of dnipro people are still working and sorting through the debris of a residential area of a house that was destroyed by an anti-ship missile. these ordinary people at home on a saturday, that's enough reason for russia to kill. >> we've also learned 90% of the wreckage has now been removed from the site. officials don't think search crews at this point would find any more survivors. cnn's fred pleitgen filed this report. >> reporter: sirens mark the end of the rescue. they worked around the clock honored and themselves paying respects to the victims.
10:22 am
a gaping hole where dozens of families once lived. as you can see this building was completely annihilated all the way down to the ground floor and the ukrainians say the reason why the damage is so extensive is that the rugs used a cruise missile called the kh-22 designed to destroy whole aircraft carrier strike groups and when it hit the building, the building just completely collapsed and buried dozens of people underneath. a miracle that anyone survived at all, ukrainian authorities say. katarina was pulled from the rubble by rescuers hours after the strike but her husband and 1-year-old son remain unaccounted for. and this video shows happier times for this family, the father was killed in their apartment, their distinctive yellow kitchen like their family torn apart by the massive explosion.
10:23 am
maria was also killed in the blast. dozens of relatives, classmates and teachers coming to pay their final respects. "she was an incredible child" her class teacher says. "god is taking the best of ours. this is what happened." the kremlin denies its forces were behind the strike and instead claims a ukrainian anti-aircraft missile hit the building. the ukrainians say that simply isn't true and dnipro's mayor says his city and the country need more western air defense systems. western countries give us air defense systems, he tells me, but unfortunately, it's not enough and comes with delays. more air defense systems are the only thing that can save our civilians in our cities. the ukrainians say they have no chance of stopping this missile that crashed into the building. almost 72 hours after the strike, the crews acknowledge there is no more hope of finding survivors.

10:30 am
hoping to learn more about it in a few hours but what we do know is that these six people were members of one family. we know that there were so many gunshots that when the call came in to 911 the person thought it was an active shooter when this was happening. they said that when law enforcement got there, they found two people in the street who were dead and also found one person in the doorway and besides that 6-month-old baby there was also the baby's 17-year-old mother, both were shot in the head. however, officials are saying that they were familiar with this house. take a listen. >> we also believe that this is not a random act of violence. we believe that this was a targeted family. we believe that there are gang associations involved in this scene as well as potential narcotics investigations. as of a week ago we as the sheriff's office actually conducted narcotic search warrants at this residence.
10:31 am
>> reporter: now they're saying because of the sophistication, because of the brutality of this they do think it may be cartel related but that's not completely clear. they're looking for two suspects but when you look at overall how this story played out and the fact that there are surviving members of the family that they did take away from this home they're hoping to learn more but no matter what, just to hear that people were killed in this way is just terrifying and scary, no doubt? yeah, yeah, it really is. stephanie, appreciate it. thank you. there is a new twist to report in the case of a missing mother in new england. according to police logs just obtained by cnn it was ana walshe's employer and not her husband who reported her missing. another piece of evidence here that doesn't look so good, right, brian walshe has at this point still be charged with misleading statement, nothing in
10:32 am
connection with anything that may have happened to ana walshe. >> reporter: he has been charged as you say with misleading police. but you take a look at that police log and we looked at it on january 4th and it really confirms, erica, what prosecutors said last week, which is basically that what happened is her place where she worked where she was employed in washington, d.c., the real estate firm, the head of security was the one who called the cohasset police and said that she was missing, not her husband and so that's just another question in a case where there have been so many questions about his behavior and some of the things he's been accused of doing. these, of course, will be part of the prosecution's case as they move forward. the question now being, what's the prosecution going to do next? and there are really two options. they could, one, file a formal complaint with the district court on various charges if they have the evidence that they need or, two, they could wait for the grand jury to indict.
10:33 am
so we're still waiting to see what the prosecution's next move is going to be. also waiting for test results, waiting to see if we're going to hear about those. as you know, they have put out some tests on the hacksaw that was recovered from that trash facility. also on the bloodstains in the basement of the home so waiting for test results, also waiting to hear what the prosecution's move will be next. erica. >> we will be watching and keep us posted as soon as there are further developments. jason, thank you. a growing crisis this china. literally growing. the population in that country shrinking for the first time in more than 60 years, the impact of though, that, not going to be felt in china alone. why the rest of the world will feel it too. a new study stresses how severe the risks are if you get covid while you're pregnant. we have those details. stay with us.

t ouour juryry aorneneys hehelpou new today, an alarming milestone for china. for the first time in decades it's population is shrinking. that means in 2022 the deaths in china outnumbered births. what else we're see something that china's economy is also slowing and that could cause problems for the irs of the world. here's marc stewart with more. >> reporter: the headline is significant, china's population shrank last year, the first time this has happened in more than 60 years, a decline of about 850,000 people. let's break this down and look at some of the reasons why. first, priorities are changing. we're getting married later and some young people are not having children at all.
10:39 am
in addition, beijing held a controversial one-child position until 2015. but it was relaxed because of concerns about the population. in 2021, three children were then allowed and a plan was released to strengthen maternity leave and offer tax deductions. in addition to all of this, the cost of living in china is high. so is education. and then there's just general economic uncertainty. that can all impact decision-making. so what are the takeaways from this? the united states is predicting india will surpass china to become the most populated country this year. and then there are the economic implications. this means an aging workforce without a pipeline into the future. that could impact productivity and in turn economic success. chinese leader xi jinping has raised these challenges saying boosting birth rates and addressing the cost of raising a child will be part of future policy.

marc stewart, cnn, hong kong. here in the u.s. dire warnings will the risks of getting covid while pregnant. a new study shows the virus increases the odds of serious illness and death for both mothers and babies. dr. tara narula joining us now. i mean, this is -- i would say -- very troubling. on the one hand and on the other not entirely surprising. >> this was essentially 12 studies they reviewed together from 12 country, around 13,000 pregnant women, 11,000 without k0ed, 2,000 who tested positive during the pregnancy and did find there was an increase in not only maternal morbidity but effects on the baby and saw for women would tested positive for covid there was a four times increased rick of having to go to the icu. a 15 times more higher likelihood of needed to be ventilated and a seven times increase likelihood of death.
10:41 am
in addition, they saw more hypertensive disorders like pre-eclampsia and clotting disorders and for the baby, increases in preterm delivery, low birth weight and the need for the baby to go to the neonatal icu. none paints a pretty picture for getting covid during pregnancy and highlights the need for vaccination. >> it does. it underscores how important that vaccine can be, because we know that the vaccines, most cases, mean less severe illness, less death. >> correct. and so for anyone who is still weighing the risk and benefits, this is really a lot of data to support, again, the value of getting vaccinated at any point during the pregnancy. actually the cdc, the acog, society of ma term fetal medicine are all groups that really are pushing for women to get vaccinated if they're pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant to treat women for covid if they develop i89 during pregnancy and important to note pregnant women pass on
10:42 am
antibodies to the baby, babies who cannot get vaccinated until six months so providing protection as well during that early period of life. and there's about 0 countries, a little more than 80 now that don't push recommendations or have that for a vaccination for pregnant women so this is really eye-opening. and important to get that out and in this country, about 72% of women who are pregnant have gotten that first series of vaccination, only 19% who got the updated booster. >> which is interesting because we know what a pregnancy can do to your own immune system in some cases. when you are carrying a child, right? dr. narula, thank you. appreciate it. >> thank you. jeremy renner is home from the hospital. how about a little good news for you on your tuesday? two weeks since the snowplow accident in a reply tweet to his show "the mayor of kingstown" outside my brain fog and recovery i was excited to watch episode 201 with my family and

a fierce and legal fight over water is playing out in one arizona community wracked by drought. their water bills are higher than their monthly mortgage payments and that was before the city cut them off. here's some of what they told cnn's lucy kafanov recently. take a listen. >> what keeps you up at night. >> water, water, water. >> reporter: others harvesting rainwater as an extra buffer. >> this is the stockpile about to go in the house used to flush our toilets. >> reporter: many homeowners rely on private water deliveries from nearby scottsdale which no longer has enough to spare. >> so that was, remember, back in october. those vital water deliveries ended this month and now some are suing. lucy is joining us as well as
10:49 am
lucy porter at arizona's morrison institute. you've been following this for months here. this community as i understand it, there is no fixed water access. we see the preparations that they're makeing there with you back in october. did they know this day would come in terms of eventually getting cut off or were they caught off guard here? >> reporter: nobody was caught off guard, erica. we were there a few months before the january 1st cutoff and this was all anyone could talk about. that deadline was looming for over a year. the two communities may share the same zip code but rio verde are not scottsdale residents, rio verde is an unincorporated community on the outskirts of scottsdale so they don't pay city taxes or get city services like water. many used to see it as a plus. but that was until the wells began to dry up. a lot of homeowners relied on hauled water purchased from scottsdale. when drought conditions forced
10:50 am
the federal government to declare a shortage in the colorado river reducing how much water they could use scottsdale decided to cut them off to outside communes to meet its own residents' needs so rio verde did have a year to come up with a solution but politicians could not agree on one. >> now there's this lawsuit, i mean, is there any sense that the lawsuit, lucy, will change anything? >> reporter: yeah, i mean, look, the courts will ultimately decide, not all rio verde foothill residents support this lawsuit, i should add. the one that do say they're being left high and dry but those that get the water from the colorado river say, no, we're in the midst of a record-breaking drought. enough supply to go around. the mayor saying there's no quote santa claus. the mega says water says is not a compassion game.
10:51 am
it's human beings facing the reality of climate change. >> there are, sara, when we look at climate change, which is, obviously, a major factor here and specifically when we look at the impact it's having on the colorado river, there are also questions, not just in this community, but i think around the country we're seeing different examples, there are questions about housing sprawl, about infrastructure. when housing developments are approved, i mean, how much is all of this coming into play in some of these decisions to allow different areas to go forward with development? >> well, fortunately, places like las vegas and other places that rely on the colorado river water, have rules that require long-term water supplies before new housing development cans be built. the problems that we're seeing with rio verde is that this is a community that slipped in through a loophole in the rules. there's no question that we're
10:52 am
seeing bigger and bigger challenges with the colorado river water supply, and that is going to have an impact. it means new subdivisions, requiring developers to go out and find other water supplies. >> and in terms of that water supply, i was struck by the number from the state of arizona that 72% of the state's water is for agriculture. so, lucy, farms getting caught in this as well. how much is that discussion part of a plan moving forward? >> look, the farms are also very much affected, and despite this being a desert area, arizona is actually one of the breadbaskets of the nation in terms of certain crops and a lot of the farmers have not been able to plant crops because of the dwindling supplies in the colorado river. in terms of the, you know, development in arizona and the impact, i mean, the rio verde foothills are part of maricopa county, which last year, was the
10:53 am
fastest growing in the nation. when we were there, we saw construction sites everywhere surrounded by these giant golf courses, you know, new developments popping up all over the place, very lacksed regulation, that are creating a building boom in one of the most parched places on earth >> to your point, you're talking about how quickly this is growing and the golf courses and we're talking about the sprawl here, and these loose regulations, lucy, i mean, do you have a sense, based on your reporting, there is any sort of effort to reign this in, or is this about let's bring in the money for development and we'll deal with the water issue later? >> it doesn't -- i have to be careful with my words here. people are aware of this problem. >> yeah. >> but right now that development is continuing, and, of course, you know, whether the rio verde, scottsdale issue gets resolved or development tames down a little bit, the reality is the colorado river is affecting multiple states.
10:54 am
this is a multistate issue. climate change is something that's impacting us all, you know, little band-aid solutions aren't going to move us beyond this drought. like multiple ststates have to together and we cannot continue living the way we have and expect the water supply to continue. >> the warning signs have been there for decades, if you're looking at the colorado. good to have you with us. sara, sorry about the audio issues, but we appreciate you joining us as well. stay tuned, much more news head with alison camerota. with gold bond... you can age on your own terms. new retinol overnight means the smoothing benefits of retinol are
