7:00 am
ever ingredients to help you lose fat get lean, absolutely free, rugged 21321. cnn primetime inside the trump investigations live tonight at nine. good morning to you. i'm jim sciutto. sad news to report this morning. right now. we are waiting for the release of police body camera video taken, his officers confronted a shooter who killed six people, including three children at a private christian school in nashville. three of those victims just nine years old. one
7:01 am
of them halle scruggs. you can see a picture there from 2019. just a little girl, the daughter of the bleed pastor at covenant presbyterian church. church affiliated with the school. the other two children have been identified. evelyn dick aus, william kenny. among the adult victims 61 year old cynthia peak. the other two were school employees. 60 year old catherine kunz, head of school mike hill. he worked as ext odeon. all of them lost their lives yesterday . since the shooting memorial outside the school has been growing. something we've seen so many times this morning. it's been adorned with balloons, stuffed animals. across as well decorated with flowers. the school has released a statement saying, in part, our community is heartbroken. we are grieving , tremendous loss and are in shock coming out of that. terror that shattered our school and our church. a woman who survived the highland park, mass shooting in illinois. just last year. she was visiting nashville
7:02 am
yesterday. she jumped in at the end of a police news conference to speak out against gun violence. it was quite a moment. here's what she had to say. how is this still happening? how are our children still dying? and why are we failing them? well we've got team coverage of this horrible tragedy this morning. cnn's carlos suarez he's in nashville with the latest on the investigation. cnn's manu raju he's on capitol hill. speaking of lawmakers about what if anything follows. let's begin in nashville, carlos tell us what more we're learning about this attack. the number of weapons involved just mind boggling. yeah that's right. we're talking about at least three weapons that were used in this shooting game. we are expected to get a look at some of this body cam video from some of the officers that showed up to this school shooting. now overnight, we learned of a message that the 28 year old attacker sent a former
7:03 am
basketball teammate ever. rihanna patton says she received this direct message on instagram. in the minutes before the shooting. it reads. quote one day this will make sense. i have left behind more than enough evidence behind. but something bad is about to happen now. patton says that she received this dm from the attacker again in the minutes before the shooting took place. she goes on to call 911 police to let them know about this message around the time the shooting takes place, but according to her officers do not show up to her house until about 3 30 in the afternoon. several hours after this shooting had taken place. patton was on cnn this morning and described her her reaction to this entire thing. i just i just couldn't believe it like i'm in effect. you know that. i the, you know, i tried to reach out, you know,
7:04 am
not even knowing that it was her. i didn't i just i don't know. i don't know. i don't know. wish where she was. you know what? what she was dealing with. i just i don't know. like . alright so let's go ahead and take a look at the timeline of this shooting that happened here yesterday at around 9 57 is when we're told that patent receives this direct message from the 28 year old attacker at around 10 at 10 in the morning, the shooter enters the school. we've seen the surveillance video of the shooter making getting inside of the school building at around 10 13 in the morning. the 1st 911 call is made and then around, not around 10. 27 so about 14 minutes after that's when we're told five officers made it into this school
7:05 am
building. two of them engaged the 28 year old shooter. killing that attacker on the second floor. the shooter here has been identified by police as 28 year old audrey hale. we're told that hail lived, lived with parents and that she rather previously attended this school here. according to authorities, hale had a number of writings and statements left behind in her car detailing exactly what was going to take place. apparently, there were maps that hale had used. essentially outlining how hale was going to get inside of this school, including all of the entry areas, gym. she shot her way in carlos suarez. thanks so much. we're going. violence is quote ripping the soul of the nation. those words from president biden yesterday as he spoke about the shooting in nashville. he repeated his calls for gun reform, including an assault weapons ban. we have to
7:06 am
do more to protect our schools so they are turned into prisons. you know the shooter in this situation reportedly had to assault weapons and a pistol. two ak 47. so i call on congress again to pass my assault weapons ban. it's about time that we began to make some more progress. despite this latest mass shooting in nashville, and there have been at least 130 shootings so far this year in this country. top congressional republicans say they did not see any possibility or any need for new legislation. cnn chief congressional correspondent manu raju joins us now from capitol hill and manu. you spoke to john cornyn yesterday he was in key negotiator on the most recent piece of gun legislation, he said. doesn't see them moving in the next couple of years. now, biden's team will say mj lee highlighted this point last hour that well, we've said that before, and sometimes members of congress are moved. what's your read of the situation right now?
7:07 am
yeah this is a different situation than in the last congress in the aftermath of the baldy shooting democrats having control of both chambers of congress and the bipartisan will to get something done. even democrats had control of both chambers requires bipartisan support to get something out of the united states senate. we need 60 votes to overcome any filibuster time last congress. there are 50 democrats. they did get the support of republican senators for a more modest bill did not go as far as what the president wanted. it did not ban assault weapons and did not enhanced background checks to the extent that the democrats want so called universal background checks and other measures, such as providing funding for schools to harden their safety as well as providing money for so called state red flag laws and also dealing without juveniles are treated in the background check system. but nevertheless right now that call to reinstate the ban on semi automatic rifles, democrats are making that call. but in talking to republicans today they are making very clear they're not going anywhere near that issue. so second amendment
7:08 am
here in the united states, people are allowed to possess firearms need is in the eye of the beholder. i don't question why you need a blue suit, but you got one. and i know we're talking about supporting very, very different, but the second amendment allows american citizens to possess firearms, so why not limit to air 15? why not ? why not put on that? if you're going to talk about the air 15, you're talking politics. now let's not get into politics. alright, let's not get into a motion because emotion feels good, but emotion doesn't solve problems. why not ban air 15? why not talk about the real issues facing this country in regards to the shooting, which would be mental health? now that last congressman's andy moguls who represents the district in nashville, where the shooting took place, calling for more mental health funding, mental health funding, of course, was part of that last bipartisan bill that passed the house and senate last year. just 14 republicans in the house voted
7:09 am
for it last year opposed by the republican leadership and also republican leaders in the house who controlled the chamber. now they're signaling no appetite to moving forward on tougher gun controls, jim jordan and chairman of the house judiciary committee told me it's all about the second amendment. when i asked him about moving forward at any bans on semiautomatic weapons general the shooter had to a ar style rifles. manner. roger. thanks so much. leaders on the state and local levels expressed their disbelief at heartbreak following the shooting at covenant christian school. but the leader of tennessee's democratic house caucus made an emotional plea on the statehouse floor, saying the children of tennessee they need action. not words. ladies and gentlemen. i ask you. please please look yourself in the mirror and ask if we are doing everything that we possibly can to prevent this and other tragedies from taking place. my children were in school less than a mile down the road.
7:10 am
ladies and gentlemen, this could happen. anywhere. it happened here today, but unless we take action, it's going to happen again. well, joining me now is tennessee state representative. john ray clemens. thanks so much for joining us this morning. thank you for having me, jim. i got to say your words reverberated with me. i'm a father. i was thinking exactly the same thing. whether you're a mile away or several 100 miles away, where will it happen again? you made that plea. and sad fact is we've seen please like that before, in the wake of things like this, and the reality doesn't move did any republican colleagues of yours come up to you and say you know what? you made a point there. let's talk. or you know, jim, i mean, they did, and several came over to me express their sympathy. um, but you know, like you as a father, i'm absolutely
7:11 am
heartbroken. as a legislator and a leader in this community. i'm angry that we haven't taken action and i've had colleagues come over like i said, and expressed sympathy. and heartfelt emotion. but again, those are just words. what the people of tennessee need with the people of this country need is action. what you have happening in tennessee actually is action in the opposite direction. you've you've got bills introduced by republican colleagues to loosen not tighten gun restrictions. and is there any sign at least the loosening gets put off. well we'll continue to fight that battle. we've been fighting this for years. this is my ninth year in the state legislature in every single year, a new piece of legislation comes forward that would shock the conscience of most people. uh you know what we need is gun sense and not cal telling too radical special interest groups who donate lots large amounts of money. ah and
7:12 am
control the narrative in legislatures across this this country, you know, we've been banning books up here, not guns. we've been. we've been doing everything we make it harder to vote than to buy an an a k. you can buy an ak out of the out of the trunk of a car and a kroger parking lot, tennessee, you know, we've allowed permit lys carry in tennessee and our governor had the goal to sign that bill. and a beretta manufacturing plant here in tennessee. i mean, that's the climate in which i said that's the uphill battle that i'm fighting and helping the lead in the state of tennessee. but you know what i need is the people of tennessee and i believe the vast majority of tennesseans. want gun sense legislation. they don't think that allowing anyone to carry a hand or an ak in public without a permit or without any training. uh you
7:13 am
know that they bought out the trunk of a car in a parking lot . they don't need to be carrying those two little league baseball games or in front of school buildings, which is allowed you need real action, not just in d c but in every state house across this country and that's what we're trying to do. you know, public support their national polls show the same thing that the vast majority of people do support stricter gun legislation. you went to the site of the shooting. you watch parents waiting for word about their children. we use the term reunification center for this and listen. i mean, i better call it a sort of terrified center, right. i can only imagine how the parents were reacting. how do they handle this? what do they say to you? do they ask you for the kind of action you're talking about? well i wasn't inside the reunification center as they call it, which is absolutely devastating to think about that. our school children and parents
7:14 am
have to be notified of a reunification location in advance, and that's the you know again. that's the climate in which we're living. um but, you know, i hear from parents all the time. i want my good friends lost her son and the waffle house shooting here in any act, tennessee in my district. a few years ago. you know, we've had tragedies like this all over the country and again, we hear words but no actions, and i continue to hear from groups doing the good work moms demand action in tennessee is doing incredible work. advocates are doing incredible work, spreading the word about what can be done what should be done. what bills should not be passing which bill should not even be discussed. with any seriousness in state legislatures such as mine and so we've got a lot of people. what i need is more voices and even more people up here in the halls of this capital. i need more people up here surrounding this building. you know, they'll come up here a lot of times if there's a tax proposal or if
7:15 am
there's or something like that. but about our children. this is about our community. we need the people of tennessee to stand up , speak up and let these legislators know that they're going to be held accountable for not taking action. well tennessee representative john ray clements. we appreciate your candor on this issue. thanks so much for joining us this morning. thank you, jim. i seriously sincerely appreciate your focus on this. that poor community will still to come this hour. at least 39 people are dead after a fire ripped through it migrate migrant detention center in mexico just near the us border would live live with what we've learned about what the cause was. and a textbook case of mismanagement. that's what a top federal regulator plants tell a senate committee about the failure of silicon valley back the latest on a hearing into the banking sector turmoil, and philadelphia says that residents can drink the tap water at least through

7:21 am
border, and this is just across from el paso, texas, says that migrants at the detention center were protesting the news that they had just found out they were going to be deported from mexico and according to the president of mexico, they set mattresses on fire inside that migration detention center. and then from there, it spread out of control. as you mentioned, killing at least 39 people. dozens more doesn't dozens others injured as well. the investigation as to what led up to all of this is still ongoing . we're told this happened last night, but a dramatic and horrific scene there as so many people have lost their lives, but this comes after months and months of frustration for many migrants, many from venezuela and south america who have been essentially stuck there on the mexican side of the u. s. mexico border as they've tried for months and months to request asylum. the whole process has been extremely difficult for
7:22 am
many of these migrants, so they're essentially many of them have told us over the last few months. just sitting there waiting in limbo, so that really kind of speaks to the frustration and the anxiety that so many of those migrants are enduring there in that border city of juarez, but at least 39 people killed in this latest incident, and it is a tragic scene there, jim tragic released lavandera. thanks so much for the details. back here in this country right now the nation's top banking regulators there, appearing before congress the issue topping everyone's mind how the u. s banking system is doing following two dramatic bank failures. earlier this month, a federal reserve officials expected to tell lawmakers it all came down to bad leadership. madigan joins us now, matt bad leadership so that they're blaming this on not on the regulators, but on the leaders of those banks involved. jim. well we can expect a lot of finger pointing today. some lawmakers they are blaming the
7:23 am
regulators basically saying that they were asleep at the wheel. in the months and years before these two major bank failures, some of the progressives like senator elizabeth warren, they blamed some of the deregulation of the trump the trump era specifically that bipartisan 2018 rollback of dot frank and yes, the regulators for their part, they are pointing the finger at bank leadership. michael barr, the top banking regulator at the federal reserve , in his prepared remarks, he says that silicon valley bank really mismanaged this by failing to brace their balance sheet for soaring interest rates. and then when they did finally act they spooked their customers so much that there was this epic run on the bank bar. summed it up this way, he said. quote svb s failure is a textbook case of mismanagement. i think the truth, though, is that it's probably not one thing that caused these bank failures.
7:24 am
it was probably a confluence of events, including soaring interest rates. but jim it is critical that they get to the bottom of what happened here. yeah i mean, listen to these. these regulations supposed to catch that kind of stuff were also getting some some consumer confidence data that's on the positive side of the ledger. um, you know, this is a surprise because this consumer confidence survey was being taken during the middle of this banking crisis. the survey date wrapped up march 20th. so that was 10 days after the collapse of silicon valley bank, so economists were expecting consumer confidence to go down. it actually went up slightly in march. that is encouraging consumers. they've marked down their view on on the current situation, the economy, but they upgraded their short term outlook. um and this is important because the better consumers are feeling about the economy, the more likely they are to spend and you know, at the end of the day consumer spending is the main driver of
7:25 am
this economy, so it is certainly encouraging to see the fact that consumer confidence held up. despite this banking crisis, consumers kept the economy going in so many tough times. madigan thanks so much. well in the wake of the nashville shooting, and so many others can barely keep up. parents across the us have to speak to their kids about gun violence coming up next. the nashville nashville police chief shares the conversation he had with his own family about it. as the nation grapples once again with deadly gun violence. just three words tell you everything you need to know. tell you why we employ more thahan 2000 works at our factory in virginia beach , and why over 10,000 local steel dealers are putting battery power in the hands of americans. not everyone can say that. but we can made in

7:31 am
with this tragedy. we have to come together. we have to address gun violence and we have to address mental illness and make it safe for the ones that we love the most and are most vulnerable, which, with our kids. once again, the youngest, the most defenseless americans, they're the ones paying the price for inaction on gun violence in this country and 2021 more than 4700 children. 4700 died from firearms. it's now the leading cause of death among children in this country. three of the victims in yesterday's shooting in nashville were nine years old. there's hayley scruggs there, but in the face of these repeated tragedies the same conversations come up and again and again. how do we stop this? and will we, frankly joining me now? albany clayton. she has the lead reporter on the guns and lies in america. project for the guardian. good to have you on this morning. thanks for having me so just to address one thing you heard from the police chief
7:32 am
there. say we have to address mental illness. you've heard that from republicans and i don't mean to downplay the significance of mental illness in this country is mental illness. the issue here is it a combination of dealing with mental illness and the availability of guns. that is the number one question that i hear, and i think it is more complicated than we give it credit for. it's important to note that most people who deal with some sort of mental illness will never shoot somebody. you know, i think that conversations around access to guns are incredibly pertinent. and i also like to make sure that any policy put forth kind of is able to address all of the ways that we see gun violence show up in the us outside of these high profile mass shootings. we know that kids are exposed to violence in so many ways directly and indirectly, so i always wonder what policies are
7:33 am
put forth to address that as well. let's talk about one policy, and that would be a ban on assault weapons because we do have data on this because this country had an assault weapons ban from 94 to 2004 when the data indicates that there was a decrease in deaths from shootings and we've seen other countries. australia for instance, in the wake of mass shootings, ban certain kinds of weapons, and that has had an effect in terms of the number of shootings and deaths from shootings. that does is that data in your research? does that is that data indicative here? i . there are a couple of answers that i could give to that one is that so many mass shootings are not necessarily done with assault rifles, let alone assault rifles that excuse me assault rifles that are bought illegally. there are a number of handguns that have been used shotguns are used often, but i mean, as you mentioned the data doesn't lie. there was clearly some level of efficacy to having
7:34 am
a policy on the books. that was , by all accounts bipartisan and we see the results now that it has been allowed to lapse, so it's difficult not to question how much it was worth and whether or not we need a new one, but unfortunately, as we know, these conversations just end up being very cyclical. very um, you know, strained and we don't see a lot of progress. unfortunately on the policy or more holistic side. i mean, is the answer here that that there are multiple causes and that therefore requires multiple solutions. absolutely you know, it's difficult to come on to television and to talk about this in the wake of a high profile mass shooting, knowing that there are so many incidents of gun violence that may never be talked about on a on a platform like this, and there are so many different ways that may or may not involve police may or may not involve policy
7:35 am
that we can look at, but it does make me a little less hopeful to know that even the gun violence that can be addressed through violence, intervention and through, you know, trauma mentoring is not being moved on, either, so it's difficult to even begin a conversation about assault weapon bans when we don't have enough mental health counselors in schools where children are exposed to violence daily and end up in these cycles that are impossible to get out of without, you know. unfortunately we know, um prison or death is how it ends up for a lot of young folks, so that that's why i always caution these conversations around policy and make sure we don't get too lost in the weeds. about what the us gun violence burden really is made, up of, which is mainly suicides and homicides. these high profile mass shootings account for a small part of a small portion even though they captured so much of the public attention. of course , the common factor is guns and
7:36 am
all those instances you describe albany clayton. thanks so much for joining us. thank you for having me. the former publisher of the national enquirer, was back in front of the grand jury investigating former president trump's hush money case. the role he may play in all this coming up. tonight on cnn primetimime as former president trump faces a possiblee indictment in the stormy daniels case examines new developments in the investigations that could put him in legal jeopardy. what happens next inside the trump investigations live tonight at nine from ear birds late hours. so many ways to save life ready wallet happy. that's 3 65 by whole foods market. i can't believe this is how you kids talk to your friends. this is talking. did you have a nice day ? look at the size of these

7:41 am
another key witness, the man you see being driven away right there. david pecker. he's the former publisher of the national enquirer. he faced the grand jury for a second time yesterday . we still do not know the timing of a decision on a potential trump. indictment i'm joined now by defense attorney and former federal prosecutor shan shan. good to have you on this morning. what do you think is going on here? bringing this witness back? he's of course central to this investigation, but also the timeline here. do you see prosecutors here trying to line everything up, or perhaps second guessing themselves. well, it's i don't think they're second guessing themselves on the course it's hard to figure that out without being in there, but timeline wise, it seems to line up with this defense witness costello that went in last week, and we know that they had michael cohen on call that day in case they wanted to put him in to rebut.
7:42 am
the attack that costello was mounting on cohen's credibility . so timeline wise, it sounds like perhaps they wanted pecker to go in to rebut some of that, and we can assume that some of the points castello was making was that the real purpose of the money paid the stormy daniels wasn't to interfere with the campaign at all, but rather for some other purpose, like just trying to protect trumps privacy , so certainly pecker would be in a position to know that i think the question is, you know, did they really need to rebut that because, as a former prosecutor who worked in a lot of grand juries tend to be a bit of a minimalist kind of worried if they put in too much testimony into the grand jury. i understood it as you watch. this has been a lot of discussion to indict. prosecutors have to base that indictment on what's been described as a novel legal theory, can you can you explain the basis here and from your perspective as a prosecutor? is
7:43 am
it? is it novel. it's novel. in the sense, of course, we don't exactly know which charges they're going to do yet, but one of the theories is that it would be novel because they charged the falsification of business records and then if they can tie that to the intent to cover up some other felony, then that gets amped up to a felony conviction. so the potential novel idea is whether or not they would tie it to a federal campaign violation. now they could go with the number of state violations, including a state election violation, or perhaps some of the tax fraud that had been previously charged against the trump organization. but the discussion we've been hearing about it, being novel really centers around the idea of trying to use the federal campaign. finance violation as that sort of bump up and that you know that that is that is novel and it could raise some anticipated arguments from
7:44 am
trump's attorneys that they might try to claim or you can't do that with the federal campaign violation. so we have this manhattan case. we also have ongoing cases, one in georgia regarding interference and attempt to overturn the election there as well as the doj zone. piece of that and possible incitement of january. 6th etcetera. you have more than one it once. but you also have this possibility where there will be more than one. indictment against the former president. what will that look like? if that were to happen and over what sort of time period oh, absolutely, that that could certainly happen. i do think the georgia one. i think a lot of people felt that would tend to come out before alvin bragg suddenly very interested in this case after it's been dormant, the justice department ones those are much more at factually complex or very sprawling. i think it will take quite some time for those to really reach the point where they make a charging decision. i mean,
7:45 am
certainly jack smith is moving ahead very swiftly, but i don't really see it as their imminently going to charge. so that could easily drag into the presidential campaign season. goodness and here we are always good to have you on. thanks so much. good to see you. don't miss cnn primetime inside the trump investigation that airs live tonight at nine o'clock eastern time. well, there is new video into cnn of the destruction left by that tornado in georgia. it started in troop county, alabama on sunday ended 30 minutes later in nearby merryweather county across the state line in georgia 20 mile path. the tornado was an e f three with max winds of 150 mph. five people injured. during that storm on sunday. just incredible trail of destruction. thousands of protesters are once again marching across cities in france as anger continues over pension reform. they want to raise the retirement age. a couple of

damage remarkable. tell us what you're seeing there. well, jim, you're joining me from the boulevard voltaire, where you can see that at least two trash fires that have been ignited here at the front end of today's . this is an organized demonstration. in other words, words, one called by the unions , part of the widespread mass action in terms of strike action that they have called for across france in protest against these economic reforms, the raising of the pensionable age from 62. to 64. but it also goes beyond that , because the reality is that here in france in terms of the legislative process, the reforms are basically a done deal. what the unions now one is dialogue. now the government has offered dialogue but not any kind of concession, and it's certainly not an agreement in advance of any kind of concession. on that change to the principal age being at 64. now the interior

paris. thanks so much. well back here in the u. s. philadelphia residents can safely drink their tap water, but only through tomorrow night. that is the latest word from city officials who will then test again to make sure the water is still safe. they are keeping a close watch on the water supply this after a chemical spill upstream on the delaware river, some residents well, they're skeptical following confusing guidance from the city, cnn correspondent danny freeman joins us now live from philadelphia. i'd be confused, too, danny, they say. it wasn't safe that it's safe for a period of time. and then it won't be safe again tomorrow. what's really happening here? well jim and i will tell you it's interesting to every day now. get alerts safety alerts on your phone, saying the water is safe, but only until the specific time so we're not out of the woods just yet, but you're right. the city of philadelphia said that up until tomorrow evening, wednesday night at line 59, the water out of your tap is safe to drink,
7:54 am
but again will still be waiting for guidance. we should get an update tonight as to how the latest testing is going, but i want to take us back started, as he said on friday, actually, with that chemical spill that happened near the delaware river it seeped into the delaware happened about 20 miles north of here, and the delaware is, of course, one of the main water suppliers for the city of philadelphia. so then, on sunday , the city sent out that first bush alert recommending folks drink bottled water out of an abundance of caution, but that said everyone in the city basically two grocery stores. they cleaned out shelves, buying water, and then only a few hours later, the city sent out another alert, saying, actually, the water is absolutely fine to drink. well we wanted to ask the city directly about those mixed messaging on sunday that sent folks into a bit of a panic running to the stores. take a listen to what city officials had to say. just last night. we may be over communicating with people, and as a result, perhaps we're elevating folks anxieties . it's a difficult thing, a balance but giving this information for people to
7:55 am
evaluate. we're hoping we're able to build trust with the community so that they can understand. we're giving them the best information we have. the water is safe. and this is something that helps them make decisions and hopefully have more trust in the work that we're doing. never again. the city is saying clearly as you hear right there. the water is safe to drink, but that is not necessarily stopped residents from continuing to buy bottled water to go out to the stores and basically give themselves a little peace of mind until they get the official all clear that there will be no more water. let's that the water will be safe to drink past any set time , but we're still going to be waiting and seeing if that time is extended. hopefully we'll get more updates this afternoon. jim. and we will share those updates with you as we get them as well. danny freeman in philadelphia. thanks so much, and thanks so much for all of you for joining us today. i'm jim sciutto at this hour with my colleague jessica dean today starts right after a quick break. subway keeps up in the
