officer involved gunfire in this incident and that he killed himself. but the reason that he was able to -- that this wasn't as bad as it could have been -- it's awful. it could have been worse -- is because taal ham bra location, when he left this location, he got in that van, apparently, and went to the alhambra location with the weapon he used here. and two community members, it was revealed at the press conference, were able to wrestle the gun away from him. and then he fleed. and that is how they were able to catch up with him at the torrance location. >> right. and then we also heard the sheriff say that the weapon that was recovered from that scene that they were able to wrestle away from him was a weapon not legal to have in california. >> it's interesting. we'll have to -- >> we have a lot of questions about that. >> we have a lot of questions about that because our reporting is that they were able to identify him from the weapon, which would lead us to believe it was a legal weapon. but perhaps it was modified.

we need clarification on that, because they're saying it was not legal in california. it was an assault-style pistol that was recovered from the scene. and also there was a hand gun inside the van when they recovered -- when they went into the van, and other evidence in torrance. >> also we are hearing reports that he went to a hospital seeking treatment at one point, waited in the hospital, and actually did not get seen, left before he was seen by the medical staff. but that hospital saw the photos that were released by the l.a. county sheriff's department this afternoon and recognized that may be the person and called police about that. and i did see a note that the hospital staff noted that his injuries were consistent with someone who may have just been in a fight. >> in a fight. >> that may be the connection to the alhambra incident. >> it's important to point out, there's still no motive.

the suspect is dead in this. again, there was a hand gun that was recovered inside of the van, as well as the one that was believed to be used in the shooting. the congresswoman, judy chu, says she wants to know -- >> yeah. >> -- what happened, obviously. how did he get this gun? why was he allowed to have this gun? did he have any mental illness, any mental health issues? and did he have a history of domestic abuse as well? they are still trying to figure out what the motive is at this point. they just don't know. they said to give them some time because they're still interviewing people and also going over a number of crime scenes here to try to figure out exactly what happened. so, that is where we are at this moment. they did say at the beginning of the press conference, pamela, they they believe this was a last briefing, the last update that they were going to provide this evening because they had so much work to do. so, they're still trying to figure it out. but a grieving community. i know that every person here, every law enforcement person, every politician, every leader,

is saying, feel safe, feel safe. it is hard to do when they have witnessed such a horrific incident in their community. but that is what they're being told. feel safe in the community. get out and continue to celebrate, even as we grieve -- even as they grieve here, pamela. >> yeah, it's a -- look, i'm sure there's a sense of relief but also just a fear. what happened there in monterey is a reminder that just doing everyday activities, going out to have a fun night, could make you vulnerable to a mass shooting. this is the stark, a sad reminder of that. the suspect is dead, but a lot of work remains. thank you don lemon, natasha chen. we'll check back with you soon. let's discuss a little bit further. michael, police praised the community members who jumped into action and disarmed the suspect. they said they were heroes. this could have been a lot

worse. what is your reaction to that? i mean, isn't it also dangerous, though, for civilians to confront someone like that? but they probably saved a lot of leaves? >> absolutely. i mean, they acted in an exceptional manner, considering the circumstances. so, they should be praised. that being said, you know, this individual still took ten lives, potentially more. there's other individuals that are hospitalized as a result of his actions. that needs to be taken into consideration as well. >> julia, what do you make of the fact that this suspect, this -- according to police -- 72-year-old asian man, huu can tran, targeted a private party in monterey. i mean, he could have gone hours earlier when there was more people. instead, he targeted this private event. and then according to police, went to alhambra. what do you make of that? does it make you think that this

was more targeted? how do we make sense of that? >> yes. yes. i mean, look, he has the softest of targets just literally next to this building in terms of a parade, which we know did not -- could not have the kind of security this building would have. there were 100,000 people. you simply can't monitor an event like that perfectly. and he decides this facility, the facility -- i thought what was interesting, it sounds like all the victims were elderly or at least in their 60s and 70s. you're looking at -- and he's elderly. this is rare. we often talk about these mass shootings being 18, 19, 20 year olds. so, what was his connection to that facility and to the people inside? i will say just on the gun issue, if i could clarify, i did not clarify, but i know there was some question.

there are assault-style pistols. they are -- it has to do with -- it's complicated. it has to do with the high velocity bullets and the magazine and how pieces of guns are purchased. they are, in some states, illegal. they act like high velocity rifles, but they are, in fact, pistols. so, you're already starting to hear debates about, well, this wasn't a -- this was a pistol. it was. but these pistols are essentially high velocity pistols. it would explain, for example, in my mind, how did he kill ten people so quickly -- or shoot 20 people, excuse me so quickly -- when we heard from the sheriff that the police were there within three minutes. a hand gun can do that. it doesn't often that you're really talking about a high velocity weapon. >> yeah. and there's still a lot to learn about the weapon, as don lemon pointed out. was it modified? was it not? we heard the sheriff say he

believed the weapon that was recovered is not legal in california. but he said they're still looking into that. but he made the point, though, michael, that california laws are very strict when it comes to guns. and yet this still happened. saying the status quo is just unacceptable. >> yeah. i mean, the reality is that, you know, guns are readily available in the u.s. and as long as firearms are available, you're going to see these types of crimes committed. i mean, that's just a fact, and i think that, you know, we need to come to terms with that and start looking for ways to address that reality. >> and i want to ask you to follow up on that reality because each time there is a mass shooting, there are grieving families, grieving loved ones, and there are law enforcement officers who have to

go to the scene and look at the bodies and see the carnage. and it really touched me when the monterey police chief said, look, right after i speak to you, i'm going to go up and talk to my guys because i'm going to make sure -- how their wellness is. that is their priority. some of them are new to the job, relatively new. as a police officer, how do you process that, going to the scene of a mass shooting? i just can't even imagine, michael. >> yeah, no. i mean, i remember the first time that i saw an individual that suffered gunshot wounds vividly. all the ones after that kind of blurred in. but that being said, i appreciate the fact that the chief brought that up. i also appreciate the fact that don brought it up. i think it's important that law enforcement community as well as the media remind all of us that it's law enforcement that are

the first ones that show up on these scenes and that those events are traumatizing and that they take a toll on the officers. it's an important factor that we address that within the law enforcement community and make sure these officers have the support they need so they can continue to do the job that we ask them to do day in and day out. >> it's critical. and times like this, it's important to focus on the sacrifices they make and the recovery that they also have ahead of them. it is also remarkable, in light of the fact you have police there at the scene processing the scene, getting victims, you know, to the hospital. but also you have, across l.a., law enforcement on the lookout for this white van because of the communication and coordination structure that was set up there in los angeles. i mean, the fact that this suspect was caught and killed himself, obviously, as we know,

in, what, less than 20 hours, it seems pretty quick, juliet. >> yeah. it is. and we use these terms like "intelligence sharing" and "intelligence collection." and that can seem kind of loose. people are phone calling each other. the way it's structured in l.a. is similar to other metropolitan areas. it's called the joint regional intelligence system. we call them jris. they're entities that cover vast geographic areas because with cars and mobility, people are not going to stay in a small town generally. and it distributes information and shares it. so -- and this jris is huge. los angeles county one is huge. i think it covers six counties, 40,000 square miles, and about 20 million citizens. so, you can just imagine it. so, this information's coming in. we're looking for x, y, and z. we're looking for a van. we think he's been identified as an asian male.

that is being distributed. so, that's why you saw the connectivity and information between three areas that are not that far apart from each other. nonetheless, that's why that information was able to be distributed. i have to say, i'm from this area. i'm from los angeles originally. these are areas, you know, on a sunday, they're about 20, 25 miles apart, whatever. they're not -- they consider themselves sort of similar communities, you know? there's not, like, a big border between them. and i -- the idea that he never made it past 20 or 30 miles is part of the investigation. in other words, did he intend on getting shot by police officers at the first -- on saturday night? we don't know. so, that's going to be part of the investigation. we saw bedding and mattresses in the van. that will also have to be

explained. what was his strategy because unfortunately a lot of these killers do have it in terms of the after -- the days after. >> yeah, i mean, he had a hand gun in the van that he, you would think, used to kill himself, although police were not that specific. but, you know, he had evidence that police say linked him to both crime scenes, alhambra and monterey. what work remains, michael? >> well, i mean, i think at this point, now that we know that the suspect who the police believe is responsible is deceased, they're going to be looking into things like the questions we all have, motivation. with that, you know, you go into time, place, and circumstance of the crimes themselves. you can look at his social media footprint, you know, whether or not there were any communications in which he may

have elaborated on his motivation. but i think, you know, at this point, they're looking to determine his motivation and also make sure that there were no other individuals potentially involved in committing or abetting in these crimes. >> and we're just getting some new information in. we have learned, according to three people that cnn has spoken to, that the gunman had once been a regular patron at that dance hall he attacked, juliette. what does that mean for the investigation? >> the question you were to ask me at the beginning, this is -- this facility -- when i heard the ages of the victims, that it's considered sort of a social hall, that it didn't -- it didn't have the kind of, i would say, reputation of being sort of a lively place where kids are dancing or any of these clubs

that we've seen these shootings at. and given the age of the assailant, who also is elderly, there had to be a connection. it was just -- it was too coincidental. so, that is what -- was that connection employment? is it as a patron? does he know someone who works there? does he know someone that was there that night? that's what we will learn over time. it just seemed -- i've been doing this a while. the ages of both the victims on a saturday night does not -- is not normally the age of victims on a saturday night. this seemed like a facility that had a certain kind of clientele of a certain age, as well as the age of the murderer, strikes me as being something in which you would have some sort of social ties. and i think that's what we're reporting now. so, we'll find out what the exact nature of the relationship is. >> all right, july iet cayenne,

turning back to our breaking news tonight, the deadly shooting in monterey park, california, that claimed at least ten lives. president biden has just ordered flags at the white house lowered to half staff in honor of the

victims. cnn's arlette saenz is in rehoboth beach, delaware, where the president and first lady are spending the weekend. arlette, the president has been briefed on the massacre. >> reporter: president biden is offering his condolences to those impacted by this mass shooting in monterey park, california. and he's also acknowledged the impact it had on the asian american and pacific islander community. president biden just ordered moments ago flags at the white house and other federal government buildings be lowered to half staff. and he is pledging full federal support for the community. the president said in a statement this evening, quote, jill and i are thinking of those killed and injured in last night's deadly mass shooting in monterey park. while there is still much we don't know about the motive in this senseless attack, we do know that many families are grieving tonight or praying that their loved one will recover from their wounds. even as we continue searching for answers about this attack,

we know how deeply this attack has impacted the aapi community. monterey park is one of the largest aapi communities in america. now, congressman judy chu n that press conference, said that she has heard from the white house as well as homeland security secretary alejandro major cass. and president biden has continued to receive updates throughout the day. he directed his homeland security director to insure the community has the full support they need as this investigation is being conducted. one important thing in that statement from president biden is that he notes that there is no motive that has been identified tied to this shooting. that is something law enforcement officials have been working on throughout the day. but president biden this evening trying to make clear in his statements that they are offering full support to this community searching for answers and grieving these very, very deep losses.

pamela? >> as is the rest of the country. now to the story concerning the president that was breaking news just 24 hours ago. justice department officials uncovered yet another batch of classified material at his personal home in wilmington, delaware. the fbi searched the property for nearly 13 hours friday and found six additional items marked classified. they dated back to biden's time both in the senate and as vice president. cnn's jessica schneider joins us now. so, jessica, there was no search warrant or subpoena necessary here because it was done with the consent of the president's attorneys. but how is the white house explaining this? >> well, pam, at this point they're trying to be as transparent as possible, obviously moving forward here. so, the white house is getting this message out that they, in their words, have been fully cooperative in the past few weeks with federal officials. so, the president's personal attorney stressed in a statement that they did provide that prompt access to biden's wilmington home. and it's really clear here that biden's attorneys, they have been communicating with the team

for the u.s. attorney who's so far been handling this investigation. that's john laush out of chicago. he's handling this before it's handed over to the special counsel that the attorney general reported, robert hur. crucially, this search was not conducted with a search warrant or a subpoena, and that does mark a stark contrast to the search that was conducted in august at mar-a-lago. that was undertaken after months of back and forth with doj officials and trump's team. that was after a subpoena and then ultimately a search warrant was issued all because trump and his team were not handing over what turned out to be national defense information, classified information. and of course that's why possible obstruction has been raised as a possible offense in this case. then you contrast that with biden's team approach. they've been making clear that they've been working with federal authorities on this since november, when some of this classified material was first discovered. that was at the penn biden center, where president biden did have that office after his term ended as vice president.

then notably, in that statement that the president's team issued on january 14th, they said that once attorneys did find classified material at biden's wilmington home, around january 11th, they did immediately contact doj officials. they stopped any of their own subsequent searches, and that's when the fbi moved in on friday. to be sure here, the fact that classified material keeps turning up has really complicated things for the white house. it makes clear, as well, that the special counsel investigation has only gotten more involved. and pamela, because of that, i think the big question remains tonight, is this the only search that will happen, the one that lasted for 13 hours on friday? or potentially will other locations frequented by president biden, you know, including his rehoboth beach home, will those be searched? those are the big questions as we close out the weekend, pam. >> they sure are. jessica, schneider thank you so much for laying it out for us. shan wu is a former prosecutor,

and joshua -- is a director for intelligence. joshua, yet another batch of classified documents. how concerning is this? >> so, pam, i think this is very concerning for a couple of reasons. one, it's a long period of time for which they found classified information stretching back to when president biden was in the senate. two, how long was it unsecure? three, who had access to it? and fourth, where else is there information? >> just to follow up on that -- and those are very important questions. and i know investigators are looking at that. when it comes to the fact it dated back to his time in senate, could it be possible it was classified then and it is no longer considered classified information? and how would that factor into the investigation? >> i think it could be determined that it's no longer classified. that would be up to the dni and the threat assessment that's ongoing, the damage assessment. i think what this really shows

out of both administrations is a cavalier attitude towards classified information and protecting that information. >> and on that note, shan, you know, the president's attorneys made it clear that they were proactive, that they offered to the fbi, to doj, to come into the home and to search it. but the reality is, especially given that there's a special counsel investigation, the fbi would be the ones to go in the home and do a search and collect information. the investigators wouldn't just rely on the attorneys with no security clearance. if that offer hadn't been given, the fbi would have either worked something out or had to get a search warrant, right? >> or they could have, as you alluded to earlier, gotten the grand jury subpoena for the documents. sometimes if i'm defending a client we actually want the subpoena because it gives a certain amount of process, protection for the documents being turned over, rather than saying, i'm an attorney, i did a

search, here's the stuff. so, biden's attorneys are really doing the right thing. they're being really careful because you would want the fbi to come in and collect the information and the documents so there's no chain of custody issues. also, it's really important, to the point these may date back for perhaps decades, you don't know exactly where to look. you don't know who is handling them originally. and in some ways, that really undermines the sort of crisis, urgency nature of it because no one's been searching for them. no one's been asking for them. but also because you don't know who was around them, who put them there. you, as the attorneys, don't want to be doing that questioning because there's an active criminal investigation now. they're doing exactly the right thing. you want to really push this towards the fbi to do, for them to question other people. to the question of other searches, they probably need to talk to some people first to get an idea of where else you can search. otherwise, you're just looking for a needle in a hay stack.

>> no doubt biden's lawyers know intent is key here when it comes to legal exposure. how much is a fact that his team offered to come in and do the search, that the team was proactive from the beginning, from what they have said, in terms of reaching out to doj, telling them about the findings -- actually archives initially, then later doj in early november. how much does that work in h biden's favor as investigators try to figure out intent here. >> i think you contrast the two investigations. with the former president, there was a subpoena served and of course the information, potential obstruction, which then resulted in a search warrant. with president biden, there was cooperation and there's been an ongoing cooperation. so, really, to your point, pam, it goes to intent. however, there's now the fifth time there's been classified information. who's had access to that information? what was the intent of it? was it merely a mistake over multiple times? or did somebody else -- or was

the current president using that information when he shouldn't have been? >> right. and just for viewers at home, joshua, you know, you were the head of the intelligence division at the fbi. you know, we don't know what was in these documents. but what is your biggest concern? had and there's also a lot of discussion about overclas overclassification, right, that documents are often over-classified, they shouldn't be top secret, so forth and so on. how do you assess it? >> there is an ongoing effort and has been for years on the classification system in the government. are documents overclassified? i think folks will look to that and try to determine whether that was the case with these documents or even the documents found at the former president's mar-a-lago. i don't know that that's necessarily jermaine. the fact that they are classified and they were not stored appropriately is really the key here. and then my concern, what type of sources and methods could have been compromised as a result of this? and that is why they go through

the damage assessment. >> right. and that's a key question. we were asking that question with donald trump, and obviously he had a lot more classified information, around 300, compared to the approximately 30 that joe biden had. but it is a fair question and an important one because of the national security implications. joshua skule, shan wu, thank you very much. you are in the "cnn newsroom" on this sunday night. how family and friends paid tribute and said good-bye to lisa marie presley. up next. what's the #1 retinol brand used most by dermatologists? it's neutrogena®

and we continue to follow the breaking news tonight on this sunday. just minutes ago in southern california, police confirmed that the man who killed himself during the traffic stop is the same man accused of opening fire at a dance hall in monterey park. ten people were killed and another ten wounded at the lunar new year celebration. police say the 72-year-old gunman then went to another gathering in near alhambra. he was carrying a 9 millimeter semiautomatic weapon, and two people at the party disarmed him. it was that seized gun that allowed law enforcement to identify the suspect. meantime, family, friends, and music fans gathered on the front lawn of graceland today to bid a final farewell to lisa

well, today should have been a celebration in monterey park for the lunar new year. instead, the community is grappling with becoming the latest victims of a national crisis of gun violence. meantime, china, too, is wrestling with a crisis. china reporting 12,000 covid-related deaths during the week leading up to the lunar new year holiday. this as restrictions are lifted and millions travel for the nationwide celebration. cnn's mark stewart is in hong kong with more. >> reporter: the lunar new year is underway, and despite a mask mandate here in hong kong, people are celebrating. take a look at the iconic victoria harbor. people are lined up anxious to take a picture in front of the different plastic figurines. this is the year of the rabbit. there are families here. there are tourists here, all anxious to take pictures. and in many cases, just a few selfies.

this is a big shift from last year at this time when much of asia had a lot of restrictions, even lockdowns. in mainland china, things have opened up, and as such, we have seen busy airports, busy train stations. during this roughly month-long period, it's estimated there may be as many as 2 billion individual trips out of this broader population of 1.4 billion people. while some health officials are expressing concern, the chinese government feels that covid has peaked in many places. as far as the year of the rabbit, it's a symbol of peace and prosperity, a wish that many people here in hong kong hope to share around the world. marc stewart, cnn, hong kong. >> thanks to marc. today marks the 50th anniversary of roe versus wade, but the milestone falls flat for abortion rights advocates after the supreme court overturned the landmark decision last summer. here's vice president kamala harris in florida earlier today.
