we begin in the u.s. state of california where a pair of new shootings have claimed the lives of at least seven people. that comes just days after 11 people died in a mass shooting further south in monterey park. monday's rampage took place in the coastal city of half moon bay, where authorities say the shooter opened fire into different locations. flea two miles apart. another victim was critically injured in the attacks. police took 67-year-old generally sow into custody, and they say they found a handgun in his vehicle close by. well, now they are trying to figure out a motive. here was the san mateo county sheriff speaking on monday. >> at 4:40 pm, sow was located in his vehicle in the parking lot of the sheriffs substation here in half moon bay. by a sheriff's deputy. cao was taken into custody
10:02 pm
without incident. and a semiautomatic handgun was located in his vehicle. cao is believed to have acted alone. and there is no further threat to this community. >> cnn's camila bernal is following this developing story and has more from los angeles. >> this is one shooter going to two different locations. killing a total of seven people and leaving at least one in critical condition. according to authorities, this happened at around 2:22 pm on monday, local time here in california. and the shooter went to the first location, shooting at least five people, killing four and leaving one in critical condition. and then he goes to a second location about a mile apart. and that is where he killed three others. now, we have been told by sources that this was a mushroom farm. authorities are describing this as a nursery.
10:03 pm
but in general this was an agricultural area. and we know that they were not able to arrest him until about 4:30 pm local time. that is when a law enforcement officer spotted the suspect, spotted his car at the sheriffs substation. he decided to make an arrest. this was a plain clothes law enforcement officer. and took that suspect into custody. now, we know he is cooperating with authorities. he was being interviewed on monday night by members of the district attorney's office. and we also know that authorities found a semiautomatic handgun in his car. now in terms of motive, authorities have not yet said what this motive was. they do not know why this man did this. but they are working to find out. he is a 67 year old man. they believe that he was an employee of this nursery. they believe the people he killed were also employees at
10:04 pm
this nursery. but again, they do not know why he did this. camilla bernal, cnn, los angeles. >> well, meantime, in southern california, the death toll has risen to 11 and a mass shooting that rocked the city of monterey park over the weekend. we are also hearing from a man who is being hailed a hero for confronting and disarming the gunmen after he showed up at a second dance studio on saturday night. cnn has obtained this exclusive footage showing brandon approaching the suspect after he entered the studio. with a weapon. he had also captures a struggle between the two that begins in the doorway, and then continues just outside the room. it's he says he sprang to action after realizing that there was an imminent threat. >> i am not going to lie, i did frees up when i saw him with begun. i had many thoughts where i would think, i am going to die,
10:05 pm
this is it. this is the end for me. but then something happened. something came over me. i just had this rush of thought and adrenaline. you know, in this sort of situation. i was able to come to the conclusion that i needed to do something. i needed to grab the gun. i needed to save myself and the people inside. >> police are revealing new details of the investigation into the monterey park shooting. but we still don't know what motivated the gunmen who opened fire. los angeles county sheriff says 42 shell casings and a large capacity magazine were found at the dance studio where the shooting took place. and at the gunman's home, investigators found a rifle and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. we have also learned that at least one person was shot in a vehicle outside the star ballroom dance studio, saturday night before the gunman entered and fired on a crowd inside.
10:06 pm
killing at least 11 people. he then went to the second dance studio where he was disarmed. the violence coming as the community was gathering for lunar new year celebrations. well, now monterey park is coming together to remember the victims. >> amazing grace. how sweet guy sound. >> a community in mourning, holding candles during a visual in the southern california city monday night. well the two mass shootings in california bringing number 2:39 in the u.s. in just the first three weeks of this year. governor gavin newsom was at a hospital meeting with victims of the monterey park shooting when he was pulled away to be briefed on the half moon bay shooting. newsom says that we have to remember not only those who were killed, but also the wounded whose lives are completely changed.
10:07 pm
and he urged lawmakers to stop talking and start acting. >> it is a disgrace. what they say, with these people, say every single night. there is seen affiliate, there are racial priming. what they have done to perpetuate crime and violence in this country. by scapegoating. and by doing not a thing about it, not a darn thing, for decades, not the right time, not the right time. rinse repeat, not the right time. sandy hook, not the right time. rinse repeat, uvalde, remember uvalde? remember? rinse repeat. remember the -- that was a few years ago, look that one up. rinse repeat. not a darn thing. and we know it. and we allow them to get away with it. >> 39 miles shootings in 23 days puts the u.s. on pace for more than 600 incidents by the end of this year. and that is close to what we have seen over the past three
10:08 pm
years according to the gun violence archive. the u.s. had 647 mass shootings last year. 690 in 2021. and 610 in 2020. for more, i am now joined by active shooter expert kathryn swans, she is a former senior fbi official and consultant on workplace violence. thank you very much for joining us. back-to-back mass shootings in california, in, what, 72 hours. the specific of these shootings are striking. from a security perspective, what are you looking at? >> well, the first thing is that, i see these as the one that follows the other. it is really reflective of what our research is showing about a contagion factor. that one incident occurs in the 4 to 10 days after a mass shooting there will be three more mass shootings. and that tells me to tell the
10:09 pm
public, be on the alert, be aware. because there will be more shootings that follow. so that is one thing i think is super important to remember right now. the other thing is to be prepared and be ready to run, hide, fight. >> the locations of these different shootings all soft targets. what can people do in active shooting situations like that? >> well, you know, i think there is a common concern that, oh, shootings, we hear about them, they are in schools. in fact, half of the shootings that are of this type of shooting in the united states, according to the fbi research, half of them are in places of business. many of them out in the open. as we saw here. and i think i dance studio, in monterey park and alejandra's for example a great one is that. but also the agricultural situation that we have and half moon bay, just 30 miles south of where i am right now. i am in sonoma, california. speaking about this very
10:10 pm
subject through monterey park i drove yesterday on my way up here. it is that these can happen any place, and they are soft targets. we don't have a way to harden the targets. the parks, the business, is the front of a building. really isn't comment on all of us to be aware of our surroundings, to recognize the people who are around us who are under stress and who might end up committing these acts. it is not the police who are gonna find them, it is the neighbors and the spouses and the schoolmates who are gonna find them. but also than to be alert when you're in your area. whether you are going to work or whether you are coming home from a library. understand that you need to understand the basics of run, hide, fight. you need to understand that you can save your life and the lives of others around you if you have that simple instruction to know how to run hide and fight. >> now we understand that the suspect is a 67 year old and he is set to be cooperating with
10:11 pm
the police. what does that tell you? >> i think that probably he is going to, of course on involved in the investigation and don't know the details. but what that tells me is that it's very likely that this individual is not unlike the individual who attacked the other day. first in monterey park, someone who has a connection to the locations. has a grievance, real or perceived grievance with that environment. and the law enforcement is going to be able to, you know, speak to them and find out, okay, here is what this person's history was. here is who they knew from this business or location. most of these types of shooters go to a location they know. places where they are maybe ex spouses work. places where their boss who they are mad at works. and they strike out there. most of them, 99%, 98% of the shooters are male. and this will be an individual who maybe was involved in a domestic situation or perhaps a
10:12 pm
workplace violence situation. and i think that the details will come out. we just have to be patient. give law enforcement a chance to get the facts out. did not spread any rumors. >> catherine, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> well, meantime, the year beginning to learn the names of the victims from saturday's mass shooting in monterey park. so far authorities have released the identity of three for the 11 people killed. all of those who lost their lives were over the age of 50. cnn's brian todd has more. >> the l.a. county sheriff says law enforcement is still in the process of identifying all of the victims in monterey park. in the meantime he gave an indication of the general demographics of those who are inside the star ballroom dance studio that night. >> they are not in their twenties or theories, they seem to be probably, i would say, in their 50s, 60s, maybe some even beyond. >> cnn has confirmed that main
10:13 pm
and lee longley, both women in their 60s, were among the deceased victims. maintenance family in a statement saying she loved going to that studio in monterey park. and, quote, if you knew her you knew her warm smile and kindness was contagious. other victims now identified as usual when you, 57 years old, and valentino alberta, 68 years old. other victims included two other women in their 60s. one other man in his 60s. three men in their 70s. and one person just reported as deceased who had been treated at a hospital, a female in her 70s. >> i felt it was very important to show our committees support. our elders have been going through a of a time in these last couple of years. >> the u.s. congresswoman represents this district had been to the stance all in the past and describes its patrons. >> if you went in there, you would see usually older americans, asian americans. dancing, really enjoying
10:14 pm
themselves. and, you know, some are such excellent dancers. they are really into it and love to go out and dance. that is what i saw when i went there. >> the shooter himself had been a regular presence at the studio. beating his ex wife there. according to three people who knew him and spoke to cnn. the ex-wife says he had even given informal dance lessons there. a local congresswoman says that this is the kind of community where she never imagined such a thing happening. >> this is a tight-knit community. and it has been very peaceful all these years. so that is why it is even more shattering to have this happen. >> one dance instructor at the star ballroom dance studio told cnn that the facility was a popular spot, not only for classes and private lessons but also for parties. some of which, he said, we have as many as about 300 people in attendance. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> and just into cnn, we now have a third deadly mass shooting in california in as
10:15 pm

10:21 pm
meets with nato's secretary general in the coming hours. german leaders have said they didn't want to send tanks and less other countries did as well. but over the weekend, germany's foreign minister said berlin would not stand in anyone's way. the european union's foreign policy chief is echoing that line. he announced a new 590 million dollar aid package for ukraine on monday. it covers mostly military training. and it brings the eu's total contribution of military, economic, and humanitarian aid to more than 53 billion dollars. >> we will continue our support of ukraine. ukraine has to win this war. and we will support on the best possible way. >> more now on the eu aid package and the debate over leopard tanks, from cnn's nick

10:23 pm
foreign affairs minister had already said before. germany ministers have said that germany is not blocking other countries from doing this. other countries which which is to export their tanks can do so. so germany is not blocking exports of leopard tanks. >> germany's defense minister says they will take a decision soon about whether or not they will deploy their own leopard 2 tanks to ukraine. germany's foreign minister has said that if poland requests to send their own leopard 2 tanks to ukraine, and germany won't stand in their way. but what we hope for the polish prime minister today, some disappointment. he said that there was time wasting going on. but he also indicated that poland is trying to develop a small coalition of other nations who have leopard 2 tanks that world perhaps go into deployment with them. what is emerging here is it is not just germany that is worried about going alone and sending leopard 2 tanks, but poland's will hasn't made an official request because it

10:34 pm
>> it is a good question. it's a very difficult question to answer. because there's so many guns in the united states. over 400 million guns. which means there are more guns than people. so being able to prevent mass shootings is a very difficult proposition. one which a lot of us are working on. but it's not gonna happen anytime soon. we are not gonna see many last of these mass shootings for a while until we are really able to do some things. there are things we can do. there are things we can do such as red flag laws which i think you probably know about, i don't know if your audience does, which is where somebody petitions the court to say this person is a danger and then the guidance of taken away from perhaps a year. better background checks so we have state back projects that are better than federal. that could run someone from committing a dangerous act. permitting laws and states, there are several things that can be done that have the support of gun owners and non donors. and we are not doing some of those things now. but we need to.
10:35 pm
>> now, investigators believe that the gunman had a semiautomatic weapon. i, mean this really continues to be problematic. i mean, the ease with which powerful firearms can be acquired by individuals in this country. is that the first thing that needs to be tackled right now? >> it is not because congress has no appetite for it at this point. most gunners don't support it. so if you are talking about those types of weapons, only one third of governors are for banning what is often referred to as an assault weapon. that congressman acts on it. so we say we are 97%, that's never gonna be universal. if 97% of the country favors it and we don't have national background checks, and we are definitely not passing an assault weapons ban. so that is not gonna happen even in california. california you are not allowed to have these types of weapons unless you purchased them before those bans went into effect. the gentleman that we are talking about did this. the person we are talking about
10:36 pm
a 72 years old, he could have bought this weapon along time ago and held on to it. but these weapons you can't prevent somebody, for example, from coming in from a neighboring state. let's say arizona, bringing that weapon into the state. we don't have national laws in a lot of these cases. so people, you know, in illinois, for example, they have strict gun laws. someone could bring a gun from indiana and we don't stop the state border. we have to have better national laws. >> so what is the way for forward. it sounds pretty desperate right now. i mean, these shootings are just relentless? >> it is relentless. it is relentless. and every day we wake up there have been more mass shootings this year and days in the year. great? so this is relentless. what we need to do is i think a lot of people in the united states don't realize that gun owners are mostly in the same places not gun owners. if you asked governors they don't -- universal background checks. we need stronger people like when we passed gun legislation
10:37 pm
in june, republican senator john cornyn from texas pulled his republican gun owner constituents and found that they were in favor of government forms. we need more people like john cornyn in the senate who are willing to take a stand on this issue. >> i mean, do you see that opening coming up? i see that opening on a state level. it is a good question, on a federal level because the republicans now control the house, there are several republicans that favor gun reforms but not nearly a majority. not even one tenth of republicans in the house favor gun reforms. so nothing is gonna happen in the house. that means that for the next two years at least the action is gonna be at state level. i do think that you will see that in states such as michigan for example. which is now a democratic-led legislator, and democratic governor. pennsylvania. the same thing. i think you will see these actions take place. we just saw federal action, i think he will say the actions on the state level go forward. >> matthew lippman, thank you so much for speaking to us. >> thank you. >> and just ahead, some

styles. it can take, you can ask to write a shakespeare sonnet with modern wrap lurks. it can take a huge corpus of tax entered into a very brief summary. or even a song. and there are many different amazing opportunities here. well, it is easy to be scared of new technology. every time we have been scared of those kind of knowledge, use the computer, the car, the calculator. even the internet itself, they have created more jobs than they have destroyed. so i think we are gonna see amazing opportunities to use a i like chatgpt to translate legal documents from human english into actual legal fees. and back, like a upcycled tone. can you spell check, even compositions gestures like rarely to replace copy others. can schedule meetings for large groups of peoples using motions. providing instant tech space customer service with systems like smith taught a i. they are incredible opportunities here to both reduce the cost of producing these services, which will make the marketable people, and also

to jobs that humans are just not very good at by nature. we are not great at looking at tens of thousands of different billing codes for a hospital bill and picking the right one. doctors screw this up all the time. and so these kind of a eyes can take over the stole dirty or dangerous jobs on our behalf, and leave us to focus on the things humans are still good at. >> it sounds pay very powerful tool, but it also sounds like a lot of jobs will be automated away. but can it be misused? because for now we understand there is no regulatory scrutiny at the moment? >> there aren't full regulations in place yet. the u.s. is going to have to grapple with that. and certainly there are safety issues, though opening i has done a better job than almost any other company in this space in safeguarding its a.i.. paid moderators to look through all of the text results that the chat gpt can give. and make sure it wouldn't give offensive or graphic answers to questions. which has made it much safer than many of the other a highs

from microsoft and others that have come before. it though i think one of the biggest risks of a i is the u.s. not being the benefactor of it. if we over regulate this new technology, we don't put in the right safeguards, or we just expect others to use it. we could see other countries leapfrogging our ability to use this technology to increase productivity, making humans happier in general, and getting jobs that we never dreamed possible. >> over the long term, how do you think having something like chat she beauty in our lives, how might it impact society at large? >> i think it will be the age of humans curators. as a i becomes the creator, the human becomes the curator. there are a lot of things that we are not actually gonna. if you ask people to draw 1000 drawings that might be able to use in an advertisement, already thousand headlines for it. they would be pretty bad at that. but humans are still great at using their cultural taste to pick things and curate from
10:50 pm
what computers create. so that is our huge opportunity here. instead of having to do everything ourselves, a i will be able to do some of it for us and we will pick the best responses, we become the curators. and i think you are gonna see that widespread uses across the world, making our jobs a little bit easier. though it may also mean we are gonna need to find new ways to test kids. same old essay questions where they write this as his at home might have to do those in person. the same way we have actually seen some computer science education move to in-person testing rather than letting people test at home where they can use all sorts of tools to potentially cheat. >> all, right brave new world, josh konstantin,, thank, you so much, appreciate it. >> thanks. >> animal shelter in -- attracting attention on social media for its ad on ralphie. a rescue dog looking for a new home. almost adds talk about the positive attributes of an adaptable dog, this one does not. the niagara spca refers to
