was preparing to open. four people are dead, nine more were wounded and transported to a nearby hospital officials say that police exchanged gunfire when they confronted the shooter. two officers were hurt in the gunfight. the shooter died at the scene, and it's unclear if he was shot by police or by himself. witnesses described chaotic moments. people were running for cover. some inside the bank, even hiding themselves in a vault for safety, and investigators say the gunman was working alone and may have been a former employee or some connection with that bag . president biden and attorney general merrick garland have both been briefed. can tuck ee governor andy bashir revealing that two of those killed today were close. friends were expecting another update in a press briefing in the next hour . cnn's shimon prokupecz is here with more on what we're learning about the circumstances, all the

events that took place and the shooter. what do we do? that's the big question the shooter. obviously police have identified the shooter. they know who this individual is. there's some connection to this bank, former employee current employee but that's a really important key fact because there seems to be right now the theory is some kind of argument disagreement disgruntled former current employees, so that's a big key here. but what's so significant in all of this? fred is the fact that it took police just three minutes to get to the scene. and even still, that was not enough to save those lives. four people were killed. listen to the police chief there, describing the officer's response. it is clear. from the officer's response that they absolutely saved people's lives. this is a tragic event, but it was it was the heroic response of officers that made sure that no more people were more seriously injured than what happened. and fred, the police chief. there also said that the officers

encountered gun fired and immediately when they arrived on scene. there was an exchange of gunfire. two officers were injured. one of them is in critical condition, so we're waiting for an update on the officers conditions. several people still remain in the hospital. the hospital says. at least three have now been discharge. so some good news there, but obviously the big question is going to be what led up to this and were there any signs that were missed by, you know, friends or family or people who knew this individual because time and time again, we keep seeing these stories where there were sort of things going on in a in a shooter's life, and also the other thing that we've learned is that the weapon here used according to our john miller was that it was a r style a r 15 style weapon, of course, something that hmm. time and time again in mass shootings, and when you look at the video, i mean, obviously a lot of shattered glass. it's unclear do we know of all of the shooting activity took place inside the bank, or did it come out on the street as well? good question.

we don't know right. it appears that there's broken glass in the in the bank, and it's not clear if that's something police broke to get inside or if that was because of the there's the footage of that now or if that happened because of the exchange of gunfire, but we know that employees were hiding in the vault. you know, there seems like there were a lot of people at work already. this happened around 8:30 a.m. the bank opens at nine. so the other question is. how did he get access? to the banks of the current employee. it makes sense. if it's a former employee, maybe someone let him in. so hopefully in the next hour here, fred will get some of those answers to current employee, possibly knowing the vulnerabilities have had to enter, or perhaps passwords in order to enter being able to have access period carpets. keep us posted as you learn more information. thank you so much. all right. joining us right now. on the phone is kentucky state senator gerald neil. he represents the area where the shooting take place. ah so glad you could be with us . how are you doing? how is the community doing? it was a shock,

as you would wouldn't imagined for all of us. and first i'd like to express my deep, not only my deep sadness is that my condolences to the families that of lives have been lost and as well as those who are struggling for life, so this is quite a shock to us all. i mean, tell me about the area. if you could. i understand that this bank is located on the lower level and above, it might be some offices, workspace, even residences. yes you wouldn't really expect anything to happen to this location. this is right off the downtown business district. uh so, uh, an area that's being developed. in fact, it's been developed. it's very well done. um it's just a surprise that was even happened there. but it did happen. yes sadly, it did happen . i mean, no one wants. you know this to be happening not in any

town state. but do you see that this will in any way be impetus to reshape and he firearms laws in your state? um reshaped the discussions that you might be having. well i certainly hope so. i mean, course in a winning state that you know, has refused to pass the red flags law. you know, that allows you to identify and at least remove farms for those who have indications that they would would use them. we have laws that permit constitutionally. anybody carry gun concealed anywhere they want to accept, perhaps in the government building. um we have laws that they have been rejected. even if the safety of children those who own legally owned fire arms that do not store them properly and others are are injured and are killed because of some child or someone else who gets access to them. so this is not a state that's friendly to those who

would think about guns. um reform in that area of gun control in some way or evening. reasonable as you might consider , uh, gun steps that we could take in terms of restricting them. uh this is not that state. however the african tin use we will continue because the evidence is obvious that if we don't take steps now, we actually are complicit. and these outcomes. um there's already data that shows that there's certain things you can do that minimizes are at least compromises or mitigates, um, gun balance to the certain level and we're just talking about a part of it here. we're not talking about that every day dumbed down that we all know and experience and i think in in our communities we'll talk to me more about how you think this is going to be an uphill battle. because kentucky as you mentioned well, it is a state to that adopted law in 2019 under governor bevin for it to be a permit list. carry state, not

even at the time. the louisville metro police nor kentucky state fraternal order of police liked that idea. so how much of an uphill battle do you believe it's going to be given the current state of affairs of the sequence of shootings taking place? not just kentucky, but really across the country for it to be impetus, uh, to have more discussions that actually turn into some sort of action. well let me give you this indication. uh there are bills that were presented that would allow students over the age of 21 to carry on campus on college campuses. there was legislation that, uh, that required or at least permitted, uh, the age for carrying guns from 21 to 18. the lord the age. uh they passed legislation this past this last legislative session to prohibit state and local law enforcement agencies and other public officials from enforcing any federal bar armbands or

regulations enacted after january, 21. um, they'd be charged with the client. and face termination from jobs. just think about it. we depend on the collaboration efforts between state and federal law enforcement, uh, with respect to preventing gun violence and gun trafficking, but yet kentucky takes this step. um you know, i think it'll be uphill battle. i think the history shows that i think the current mood and the actions of the legislature does not indicate that there's going to be any easy roll over on this particular piece, but i think the effort must continue will be remiss if we did not do this and we'll be complicity as well. is it fair for me to assess the frustration in your voice? i think you are assessing it properly. i'm very frustrated. bad i'm i'm mystified by this one instance. but then again, the cynical side of me saying, well, you know, you should understand this. i mean, you got gun lobby's out here. you got

the business interests involved in this. you know, people, they have their individual aspirations that transcend those of safety of other individuals in conflict. i mean, if you put all that together, it will create frustration. but that is a reality because s what there are people who will not give up on this. we're going to appeal to those that can understand that we should do better. even the public generally, if you look at the percentages will demonstrate to you that people want reasonable common sense of gun control. they want, for instance, everyone to be able to each registered guns nationally , so i mean, i think there's an opportunity to do that, because i think the general consensus is that we should do something in this area. alright state senator gerald neil, appreciate your time and we are all collectively saddened for your community. thank you, fredricka. all right, joining us right now. cnn former boston police commissioner ed davis and cnn contributor and

writer for the trace jennifer mascia. good to see both of you, commissioner. you first. you know, still, you know lots of questions that need answering about this shooting, including how this shooter who police say did have a connection to the bank was able to get into the bank before was open to the public. what kind of tools will police be using to get some sort of timeline? good afternoon fredricka that is going to be the first order of business with the police, putting together exactly what this individual did how he gained access to the building and what? what his motivations were, you know, in private security, there's a concept called adversarial terminations, and we work on these all the time. and that's when an hr department or chief people person will will reach out knowing that very they're separating. an individual from their company. these can be traumatic moments for people,

and it's sometimes results in violence at the termination or this kind of a follow up incident. these can be mitigated with the proper planning in the implementation of security protocols to do things like keeping this person out of the bank after he's been separated from their service. those are the kinds of things that you you hope people will pay attention to, and the police will be paying close attention to mhm. jennifer you've written extensively about gun violence. we see you know that we've been seeing in the u. s. police say the shooter had a connection with the bank and kentucky is a permit list. carry state as you heard in that conversation i just had with the state senator , but it wasn't always that way. what changed? yeah, well, i republican lawmakers in 2019 argued that if more people are carrying guns will see fewer shootings like this. unfortunately the numbers don't really seem to be bearing that out, according to cdc of figures the year before permit list

carry 2018 between that and 2021 gun deaths as a whole are up 25% and gun homicides are up 75% between 2018 and 2021. so we're kind of seeing the limits of this are you moment that having more guns around are going to reduce shootings. there's always going to be places where people can't carry guns. that's a reality. unless we have gun stationed in every aspect of civilian life. that argument. really, uh, fall short. kentucky does permit checks. they do a background checks on people with concealed carry permits every month in 2019 when permit let's carry past that was a real protection against people who shouldn't have guns that was lost. so we don't have that anymore. you can buy a gun from a stranger in kentucky, and there's no record of it. hmm. wow that's pretty powerful difference. um commissioner davis, you know, police say that

you know, they exchanged gunfire as soon as they arrived on the scene getting there about three minutes after the call came in. what do you make of how the officers were able to handle this? um and you know the number of officers that responded as well. well when a call like this goes out. it's an all hands on deck situation. anybody in the immediate area people will drive in from quite a distance to get there to help out so this i'm not surprised at the at the number of officers involved, but really, what was remarkable about this was the speed with which they made entry. um what they did we refer to as a dynamic entry they needed to use sledgehammers. from what i understand to knock the windows out and to get in after these bad guys. this bad person of the person the shooter and, you know , i gotta tell you, it appears as though there were bullet holes in one of the adjacent plate glass windows, which to me, means that they were

probably facing gunfire as they made that entry. um those the bulletproof vests that officers carry are no match for and they are 15. those bullets rip right through a bulletproof vest. so the officers who were there were risking their lives. they know that better than anybody, and they did a fantastic job in getting in there quickly and neutralizing the threat. hmm jennifer, um and commissioner we just received a statement coming from the white house and in the statement, the white house says once again, our nation is in mourning after a senseless act of gun violence. jill and i are praying for those killed and injured in the tragic shooting in louisville and for the survivors who will carry grief and trauma for the rest of their lives, and he goes on to suggest that and say it's long past time that we require safe storage of firearms require background checks. it's for all gun sales. eliminate gun manufacturers immunity from liability we can

and must do these things. now that statement coming for, it's a it's a rather lengthy statement. that's kind of a truncated version of the statement coming from the white house, jennifer so you just talked about the measures that went into place in kentucky. the reason being, people thought that having more guns would mean more protection. the president's statement there is saying, you know it. it's quite the opposite . will kentucky or any state use this as a springboard for new action? well it seems that red state legislatures are dug in on this issue. we've seen how this is royal, the tennessee state legislature. the reason that they lawmakers that tendency three were ejected is because they wanted to bring forth gun bills, and they were not able to do that. that was a week after a shooting at school. mhm. right and we thought in uvalde, texas legislature was not willing to budge on this. so we have really two americas, one america, where

there are strong gun laws and lower rates of gun ownership and fewer shootings, and then we have the unlimited gun america where there's easy access very few barriers to access and murder rates are much higher than they are in the states that regulate who is getting guns and look, our fifteen's do a lot of damage, but it's access. two weapons who were allowing to access these weapons that really makes the difference as we see other countries do not have this level of gun violence. hmm all right. we'll leave it there for now. jennifer mascia commissioner ed davis. thanks to both of you appreciate it. and as i mentioned, there will be a news conference from officials in louisville for the next hour. we'll bring that to you live and this just in to cnn, the justice department has asked a federal appeals court to put on hold a judge's ruling on medication abortion. the ruling could make the drug unavailable nationwide starting friday at midnight. cnn's jessica schneider joining

me, right. right now, with more on this, jessica, what is the doj doing? well for fredricka. they're acting quickly here because they're really up against the clock because remember that texas judge said that by friday at midnight, central time, his ruling will go into effect. that ruling will eliminate the fda approval of this abortion drug mifepristone , so the doj had to move fast here and what they've done just now is they are now asking the fifth circuit court of appeals to actually put a pause on the judge's ruling beyond that, seven days and much longer. they're asking for two stays a short term stay and then a longer term stay while this appeals process plays out. and this is a conservative leaning fifth circuit, so it's uncertain as exactly how they'll rule in this case or if they will grant this motion for an administrator . over longer, longer term stay . they are asking the fifth circuit to make this decision by noon on thursday that way, if

the fifth circuit doesn't go their way, they'll be able to immediately appealed to the supreme court by the end of the week before the texas judge's order takes effect. um what the doj is saying in their very lengthy filing here is that rather than preserving the status quo, as preliminary relief is meant to do. the district court upended decades of reliance by blocking fda approval. they go on to say that the district court took extraordinary this extraordinary step. despite the fact that plaintiffs did not seek relief for many years. so the doj just hammering the case yet again, asking the fifth circuit to step in at this point, and while that's all happening as we await for the fifth circuit to see if they will, in fact, put this order on hold even longer. the doj is also going to that. washington federal judge asking for clarification because as you'll remember within minutes of the texas ruling on on friday evening, a washington federal judge ordered fda to keep all of

its protocol in place to keep this drug available in 17 states , plus district of columbia. so fredricka, the doj is now asking that washington judge can you give us some clarification here? how can we comply with your ruling to keep this drug available in the 17 states, plus dc, and potentially also comply with this texas ruling? that would take it off? you know, take it offline. so a lot happening here a swirl as we go towards that. friday friday deadline set by this texas judge will see how quickly the fifth circuit acts here. they're they're asking for a decision by thursday at noon, fredricka keep us posted on that. jessica schneider. thanks so much, all right. later on this afternoon special meeting in tennessee could lead to the reinstatement of one of the lawmakers expelled from the statehouse there. we're live from nashville with a preview next. asking the right question can greatly impact your future. . are you qualified to o

not expel representative gloria johnson after they led a rule breaking protest, demanding stronger gun safety measures on the house floor. this all stems from the deadly mass shooting at a nearby school last month. jones and pearson have vowed to return to their jobs. cnn's ryan young is live for us in nashville. so ryan, what are you hearing about the vote and the chances for justin jones? fred a lot of conversation about this. that meeting gonna happen. 4 30 today central. the hope is that he'll get voted back in and there's going to be a march from here to the state house, so you can understand there's a lot of excitement behind this because community organizers have really been pouring their heart and getting the information out there. we were together last week. fred when there's always unfolding, one person that everyone's been talking about who's been pretty silent about this is the governor of the state. people are waiting to see if he's going to weigh in with all this national attention. that's going on in tennessee. but we talked to the vice mayor today about how this procedure

will move forward, taking a listen to what he had to say. i think we've heard loud and clear from people in nashville across the state of tennessee and across the country. that, um yeah. democracy needs to be served. these two gentlemen need to be sent back immediately to the tennessee state house. i think the council is pretty clear about who we want to put in that position. it's justin jones and, um if we get objections to suspending the rules, then we're back on row 49. we'll have to wait four weeks. yeah we'll see what happens. but really, this is all about emotion and how people feel, especially the voters, the voters who have been out and being so vocal on them actually joined by two organizers who have been out in the streets, fred, who have been putting their heart into this, and tyler and tequila, johnson, look, you guys have been watching this. the nation's focused on this. what should people at home understand about this push to make a change here in tennessee? they should understand that this

is something we've been fighting for almost 12 days of continuous action where we have literally been screaming outside the capital and then inside it on thursday, we had students crying. we had students there for all 12 hours, and when they were expelled every single time there would be more tears. but they didn't give up fighting and we stayed there for that entire time. you shocked by what happened and how these two lawmakers were thrown out. absolutely not. there's been a threat on democracy in tennessee since forever and no matter what issue you care about, or you're organizing around. if we don't fix our democracy, we cannot make change. we cannot change policies and in some of these crazy laws that we see in our state after the vote today, you guys plan to march back to the capital. explain how that's gonna work out. yes so after the vote, we are going to follow behind our elders, our clergy. we're going to march up to the capital, and we're going to push our lawmakers to one make some changes about gun violence and what's happening and what happens to those families but also to reinstate our lawmakers that we elected. we've seen another mass shooting today. did your heart skip a beat when you

saw another act of violence in this country? absolutely i work at a gun violence prevention organization march for our lives, and we've had over 131 mass shootings this year alone, and every time we hear the news, our heart does stop and we know that families are affected, but we also know that this epidemic has been happening for years and we've been screaming for this to be listened to. and so while the national attention in tennessee is great, what we need is national action as well. to stand behind the words of all these leaders, ladies, thank you so much. thank you for joining me. for the guy said again, the plan is for the vote to happen around 4 40 today central time and then the march to the capital. these folks plan to have their voices even louder than before. fred these young people yet another young generation, um, leading in this movement, ryan young. thanks so much. alright the battle over abortion medication may be headed to the u. s. supreme court after a federal judge in texas ruled to suspend the fda is longstanding approval of the commonly used drug medford crestone. we'll talk about what's next. morgan stanley old

factors now the number one best selling herbs and supplements branded walmart unleash your potential with force factor at walmart. good morning, everyone we do begin with breaking news this morning. all right. this just in to cnn, the justice department just issued a filing criticizing a texas judge's decision to suspend the fda approval of the most commonly used abortion pill. the doj is arguing for an emergency stay against the ruling that would take effect this friday. medford chris stone has been widely available for women across the nation for more than 20 years. but also this weekend, a conflicting court ruling out of washington state, the federal judge, they're deciding to protect access to the same drug across 17, blue states and

washington, d. c which suit to protect medication abortion. cnn's jonas cubic. joining me right now, with more on this, joan, this is a very confusing time for women. so what's next for the texas ruling because that's the more threatening one. that's right. and thanks, fred, and we've just gotten some immediate action and that you'll see that the department of justice has just filed its brief its first filing asking the fifth circuit court of appeals to put a more short term stay, but something that goes longer than this friday, which is what judge matthew kiss america had put on his ruling. that completely was to suspend the fda approval of this first part of the abortion drug protocol, so it's a very forceful filing that they have put their they've asked the fifth circuit court of appeals to act by thursday so that everyone knows whether they have some breathing room to make their appeals. more concrete as a challenge this very

unprecedented decision by judge cause merrick out of amarillo, texas, last friday night. what he did was he rolled back approval for the that the fda had first put in place back in the year 2000 he questioned the fda is review. and approval of this drug, saying that it had shortcomings that both psychologically and physically physiologically it didn't not take account of harm to women and just really upended. the process essentially stepped into the shoes of the fda experts saying that the drug drug should not have been approved and should not stand now, fred and then joan. how does the washington state ruling play into all this? just one? override the other in terms of the decisions. no the more important one is definitely texas. but i think you had a map of exactly the states that had sued and going to us district court in washington state,

washington state and 16. other democratic run, uh, states, plus the district of columbia had actually sued the fda. the fda that's on the other side of the case in texas, saying ah that they did not want any kind of stages. yet in there, they didn't want the fda to modify or change regulations on the ability of women to get this drug and they wanted to have the access preserved and what a judge did in that case. judge thomas rice out of the district court in spokane did indeed say that the fda could not prevent it could not change the rules or restrictions having to do with access. in those particular states. essentially right now, you have that order from judge rice stain that women in those 18 total jurisdictions should have access to the judge drug. meanwhile you have judge matthew cosmetics one that still stands, even though we're about to have

probably more action on that just because of what's coming just now from the department of justice, where he's saying that by friday all of it might, uh, access to the, uh, mifid. kristen would be actually rolled back now i do want to say that we expect some action by the fifth circuit. and if we don't see the fifth circuit, actually granting this administrative stay as it's called, i'm sure the government will go to the u. s supreme court, so just a lot happening, but for now, everyone should know that the medication abortion drugs are available to women who need them. yeah the fifth circuit court of appeals. alright, joan biskupic. thank you so much. appreciate that. alright so michigan was one of the states, which appealed to that judge to keep the medication legal, and michigan's attorney general dana nessel is joining me right now. um so good to see you. i mean, there's a lot of confusion for women. understandably right now. women particularly of childbearing age

, so i just want to be completely transparent to any of them who might be watching. so if you live in these 18 restrictions that john was talking about the 17 states and the district of columbia. is your access to medford, kristen in jeopardy because of the texas decision. well i have some additional information to add from this morning regarding the washington lawsuit, and that's that. the fda who of course is a defendant in that case, um, has reached back out to the court to judge rice to ask for clarification about what will happen and what is the judge's order going to be in the event? the department of justice is not successful in seeking a continued stay. of judge has merrick's order, so i know this is very complicated, but i think it's actually very good news, at least for the 17 states, plus the district of columbia, because would it would, it says

to me is that the fda is interested in obeying judge races order and if what judge rice is saying is, irrespective of what happens, uh, in texas, or in the fifth circuit that they are still going to allow fda approval of mr price stone. to at least the parties to the washington lawsuit, including states like mine, michigan so that kristen would remain legal available. uh and fda approved, at least as it pretends to those states, mhm and just so people can follow as a judge rice in the washington state case, so if clinics have a large, you know back stock of medford, crestone , can they still give it to a patient? ah after this price friday, everything riding on the quarter of repeals. no, i think

it's more to me about availability of this drug and the willingness of doctors to prescribe it. so let me tell you about my state. um in reaction to the dobbs ruling, and let's remember what the supreme court said. they said it's up to each and every state to decide the legality of abortion in their respective states. so in my state, the voters spoke loudly and clearly and we passed a ballot proposal to enshrine reproductive freedoms into our constitutional rights, which means in our state if a doctor has mifid brigestone, absolutely , they can still safely prescribe it and it will still be legal to do so. in states like mine. it's really a matter of whether or not you know. you will still have this fda approval. remember there are all kinds of medications on the market that are not fda approved . but i think that this latest signal by the fda that they're interested in making certain that they obey the washington judge's order is really a good

sign and hopefully they will continue. i to ensure that the approval of their agency in regard to this medication, but certainly in michigan, um as long as this drug is available, it will still be legal to be prescribed and still be legal to be administered and taken on, health and human services secretary xavier maceira says the texas ruling could set a precedent you know, and judges making medical or science based decisions. is that your greatest worry here too? oh absolutely. and i could see an entire slew of medications that have been in use for a long time and are incredibly important and impactful to an individual's health care. and just having an individual judge say. i don't like that medication. maybe i don't like the fact that it prevents hiv. or maybe i don't like the fact that it's a form of birth control because i'm anti birth control and to substitute judges, opinion. for

that of the medical community, i think is scary as it gets. uh so yes, i'm very concerned about the precedent this would set for other types of medications as well. alright michigan attorney general dana nessel will leave it there for now. thanks so much. thanks for having me and of course, we continue to follow. the latest developments out of louisville, kentucky, where four people were killed and eight others injured after a shooting at a bank officials are set to update the public on the investigation. and we'll take you there live plus u. s. officials are scrambling to figure out who leaked key intelligence documents online that leak now embarrassing allies and emboldening foes. we're live from the pentagon with the latest developments. tomorrow history in the making beginning today, we're bringing you the news. disturbing new dedetails. nenew way of questio.

briefed on this league on april 6th, and now the pentagon is really trying to get its arms around the scope and the significance of this league trying to figure out just how big it is. and of course, the national security implications, whether compromises sources and methods now a senior diode official did just briefed reporters. and told us that they are currently undergoing an investigation. internally kind of an interagency effort led by the defense department to try to figure out just how bad this leak is. here's what he said. the department of defense is working around the clock to look at the scope and scale of the distribution. the assessed impact and our mitigation measures were still investigating how this happened , as well as the scope of the issue. there have been steps to take a closer look at how this type of information is distributed, and to whom. we are also still trying to assess what might be out there. so as you

can see, there is still very little that the defense department knows about who is responsible for this leak. and just how big it is. but look, the classified documents that cnn has reviewed are classified a lot of them at the top secret level, and a lot of them are sourced to human intelligence, as well as signals intelligence so its sources and methods could be compromised here, and that is exactly what the us is extremely concerned about right now, fred all right, natasha bertrand, thank you so much at the pentagon. alright the dalai lama , issuing a rare public apology today after a disturbing video of him with a young boy triggered major backlash on social media more on this straight ahead. f r e oh, yeah. free. get a free eye exam when you buy two pairs of glasses starting at just 79 95 looking exam today at america's best .com ln care were easy. everyone would do it as well as

rather to kiss him on the mouth drew him closer. holding his chin and kissed him on the mouth . and then seconds later came, the words stuck my tongue. now that's really taken social media by surprise, and it's because the fuhrer and outrage frederica on social media that forced the llamas office earlier today to issue a statement. what's interesting, though fredricka is the fact that this statement comes six weeks after the incident, which took place like i said in february, so it's clear it's the pressure is the outrage that caused the lie llamas office to come out with a clarification which reads and i'm going to read excerpts from here. his holiness wishes to apologize to the boy and his family as well as his many friends across the world for the hurt his words and we have caused his holiness often teases people he meets in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras. he regrets the incident. do phrases here that caught my eye? frederick the first is where, the statement reads. for the heard his words may have caused the
