come up to me at the vigil, and it just said, when is this going to be enough? when can we do what's necessary to keep us safe? this isn't political, if when you go to work, and you're worried about coming home and you send your kids to school, and you're worried about them coming home, that type of safety is not political. you know, unfortunately, our jobs we have. sometimes our kids get a front row seat to this. i've got three young children, all of whom are in elementary school or younger. my wife dropped off our fifth grade daughter this morning at school. she looked back at my wife and said, hey, mom, stay safe at work today. our kids shouldn't have to worry about us. so don't make this political but make it about policy. come together and put those policies first, whether it's universal background checks, whether it's removing these weapons of war from our streets, whether i heah support whether it's passing some type of extreme protection law that will keep people in

crisis from hurting themselves or others, let's come together and make sure that not another family experiences that this loss that not another community is ripped apart and it's very fabric by this type of savage and senseless violence. you mentioned universal background checks. we know most action on gun reform is likely to happen at the state level more likely to happen at state level than it does at the federal level. just give us a sense since being there in washington, and i know you've reached out to your constituents and we're calling them as recently as last week. asked about their concerns, gun violence was right up there. since you've been in washington . are you more or less hopeful that this country can and will in fact address gun violence? uh i'm always going to be helpful. hopeful i spent 10 years in the state senate in the minority is a democrat and kentucky and worked every day with my colleagues from all over the state and across the aisle to try to make things better. that's what we're going to do in

washington week and do this. we can make our country safer and you know, this is tragic. even when we do pass these policies, i believe we will pass policies that will make people safe. it's not going to bring back. the people we've lost are the people who have been lost in so many communities across this country. but if we can just keep a few more people from experiencing that grief if we can talk about this in terms of public safety in terms of people and kids over guns, then i think we can come together and really begin to solve a problem, which is uniquely american. so many people from the right and left are calling for common sense gun laws and i was really floored when i heard that the mayor say that according to state law there the actual weapon used by the gunmen will now be auction and then sold and can go back onto the street for use again. there's nothing commonsensical about that. no, it's unfathomable. i mean, as i asked

, people imagine that your loved one was killed with a weapon. and then that weapon was sent to auction and put back on the streets. how would you feel? i know i would feel absolutely terrible. so that's i think that is a no brainer for the kentucky general assembly to pass if they'll do it, and i think there are state laws like that that are really important. those are the state laws. but like when you mentioned universal background checks when you mentioned, um, taking away weapons of war, removing them from our street like assault style. rifles i think those are best at the federal level. you know, i'm sitting right here in my district office in louisville, kentucky. i just came here from city hall. we are right across the river from indiana. you've got to northern kentucky. cincinnati airport is in kentucky, right? we're that close to another state for those of us in this part of the country where the borders between states really are places that people use all the time to go back and forth to shop or go back and forth to work. that's when those federal laws are going to be most effective, and so we've got to pursue that as well. congress and morgan mcgarvey. we appreciate your

time this morning, you know, to be honest, said our condolences for the entire community. we will be watching. seeing that action. appreciate it. thank you. meantime a new survey shows how widespread the trauma of america's gun violence epidemic actually is. the kaiser family foundation found nearly one in five adults have had a family member killed by a gun. and more than one in five have been threatened at gunpoint. cnn security correspondent josh campbell joining us now with more on these findings, they are sobering. i think, josh to put it mildly. it also offers some really important insight into how americans view gun violence in this country. that's right. you know, as if we needed further proof. this new study from the kaiser family foundation certainly paints a bleak picture about america's gun violence epidemic, and it's important to note that respondents in the survey weren't asked for their view about gun control. they were asked about how they experienced gun violence themselves and over half of americans who were

surveyed said that they either personally or knew someone in their family who has been impacted by a gun related incident and just to show you some of the top line results here about the sentiments the american psyche, right now, as it relates to guns, they were asked. how often do you fear gun violence in this country? 40% of respondents said. sometimes 10% said, almost every day excuse me almost every day, and 8% said every single day so you can imagine that you have more than half of the country impacted by gun incidents and people continuing to think about that. you know that that continues to have impact the american mindset now, as we look at communities of color the data here certainly even more unsettling. i'll show you some of these figures of the responding it's 31% of black adults and 22% of hispanic adults say they have actually witnessed someone being shot. 34% of black adults have had a family member killed by gun violence. guys that figure is double compared to white respondents so certainly troubling figures here. the number of people who are experiencing gun related issues

and just the fear that we see permeating across the country. and that is something that we said is uniquely american. no other developed western countries experiencing these types of numbers, and as we noted the number of americans impacted by guns, gun incidents is stunning. but the study also reveals josh concerning behavior when it comes to storing firearms as well. can you talk about that? that's right. you know, just as give you an example, the american academy of pediatrics. they recommend to the extent allowed by law that doctors actually talk to their patients and talk to their parents about storing firearms in the home and we can see why looking at this new data from the kaiser family foundation, a whopping 75% of gun owners who participated in the study said that they don't store their guns safely. they don't adhere to common gun safety practices. this certainly has public safety officials concerned. it's certainly has medical officials can cern. i spoke to one senior physician who said that every pediatrician that he knows has treated someone with a gun

related injuries. so just shows you how big of an issue this is. take a listen. every pediatrician that i know has experienced treating gun injuries and guns are the leading cause of death in children and adolescents in the united states, and about a third of children in the us live in a household that has a gun, so it's really important that pediatricians talk to families and make sure that they're storing their guns safely. some hospitals such as the boston mass journal for children. they've actually implemented novel training programs for doctors to get them in the habit . the routine of asking patients and parents about gun storage safety practices. but guys, doctors alone can't solve this problem. the data here clearly showed that when it comes to safely storing firearms, 3/4 of those who responded said they don't do it safely, certainly concerning and you have to wonder about how many lives might be saved. how many injuries might be prevented if people do basic things, such as storing your firearms safely in the home. concerning and shocking data shot. josh campbell. thank you. newly

reinstated tennessee lawmaker justin jones says he plans to file 15 new bills today to address gun reform. this is the state representatives first full day back in the tennessee house last week. republicans who control the chamber expelled jones and another democrat, justin pearson, for a gun control demonstration on the house floor that broke rules of decorum, a third democratic state. rep. gloria johnson, was not expelled. the house demonstration was in response to a shooting rampage inside a nashville elementary school in march that killed six people. last night. the nashville city council unanimously voted to return jones to a statehouse seat. cnn correspondent isabel rizal is in nashville. that was quite a moment last night. isabel when will the other ousted lawmaker justin pearson, get a chance to be reinstated himself? erica bianna. we are

potentially seeing the so called tennessee three tomorrow being reunited once more. the holdout here is justin pearson. his fate . his political fate will be determined tomorrow during a special meeting by the shelby county commission, so it could be possible that like his colleague, justin jones, he will once more be sent to the state house as an interim successor. they will have to certainly face a special election following tennessee law. we have been reporting over the past week. political tensions rising we've heard from the chairman of the tennessee democratic party that leaders in both memphis and shelby county have faced political threats, he says. of losing state funding for key projects. should they reinstate justin pearson? we have reached out to the shelby county commission for comment on that we have heard back from the tennessee house republicans who released a statement just hours after justin jones was

reinstated back to his seat yesterday. and they said, quote should any member be reappointed. we will welcome them, erica bianna. so we're watching for that tomorrow? meantime in terms of the fallout after that shooting at the covenant school, the republican governor of tennessee today, introducing plans to strengthen gun laws. what's in that proposal? yeah governor bill lee , he announced that he will sign an executive order aimed at strengthening the background checks when it comes to any gun sales, and he plans to do that by setting a 72 hour clock for any new criminal activity. he also wants to ensure that the courts handoff timely and accurate information over to the tennessee bureau of investigations. he is also calling on the general assembly. to pass a red flag lost something that tennessee as a state doesn't have. unlike other conservative states like florida , for example, this would be a law that would empower law

enforcement to go to a judge with a concerning individuals, someone that they think is a threat to themselves or to others, and then a judge will consider the evidence and then decide whether to go ahead and sign off on seizing their guns temporarily listen to what the governor had to say. this new, stronger order protection law will provide the broader population. cover safety from those who are in danger. to themselves or to the population and i mean, we will have to work together in order to get this done. but i believe actually, i believe we will. and i mentioned the special election that will have to happen. poor tennessee lots, the governor who will have to schedule that for the district seats. 86 52 bianna, erica. as well as us with the latest for us from nashville. appreciate it. thank you. well, the fallout

the pentagon has not informed us that they have made significant progress or the justice department has made significant progress and identifying the source of this leak. but we are told that the investigations have have happened on a separate on a couple different tracks. here you have the pentagon investigation internally, which is focusing really on how this information is distributed, and to whom. and then you have the broader interagency investigation that involves the pentagon, the state department, the white house kind of looking at the damage that these at that the leak of these documents has caused or could cause to us national security. so things like whether important you know us sources and methods have been burned now, for example, by these documents being leaked online and kind of sitting there for at least a month without anyone noticing. and then, of course, you have the justice department's criminal investigation, which is taking a really hard look at who could have leaked these documents. obviously going to be very important to figuring that out because thousands of people according to our sources, could have had access to these documents, and one senior u. s official actually told us that

way too many people have access currently to these kinds of highly sensitive documents, documents that are really designed to brief senior pentagon officials on a daily basis about important updates in the war in ukraine, for example , now, the u. s is also trying to smooth over things with allies who, of course, are mentioned in these documents, including south korea, israel and ukraine. a lot of those allies now expressing concern about this leak, but some of the allies are saying that the us is taking this seriously and they have been briefed on the u. s efforts to get to the bottom of this. here's what the australian defense chief had to say. by reports. is a serious leak. it is being investigated seriously by u. s authorities and they are engaging with partners in order to better understand the potential consequences of that information being released into the public. so these documents leaking online, embarrassing not

only for the u. s, but also for allies and, more importantly, could impact the national security of the united states, given the potential compromise of sources and methods as well as that of us allies beyond america. natasha bertrand. appreciate it. thank you. right now. president biden is aboard air force one on his way to northern ireland. he should be landing in belfast in about two hours to mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement, which mostly ended decades of sectarian violence. there are real concerns about the potential for future on rest . just yesterday, masked men were seen throwing molotov cocktails at police during a pro irish republican march in northern ireland. today suspected pipe bombs were found in a cemetery near that location . cnn's robertson is live in belfast at this hour. so what more do we know? in terms of both those concerns in the preparations for biden's visit? yes specifically on the protest yesterday, the petrol bombs and molotov cocktails thrown at the

police and those pipe bombs. we were in that cemetery yesterday when those new ira members and their political wing were there . they were doing something that we were not allowed to film. they put umbrellas. they hid themselves away. they stopped all the journalists there from filming what they were doing. they set fire to something. behind a shed that the police had surveillance helicopters, surveillance drones overhead. and so what we understand now today is that the police realized and found out and went there and found these pipe bombs, which, of course, will be very dangerous. typically they used in dairy against the police , so the police are cracking down. president biden is unlikely to see any of that sort of potential for violence here in belfast. big security operation underway here and we understand now as well as doing the ribbon cutting at a new university campus here in belfast. he is going to have the opportunity to meet with representatives of all five political parties here. it's not entirely clear the depth of

conversation the president will be able to have with any of them. but of course most people in northern ireland look at the democratic unionist party who refused to go into government at the moment, which really is something that undermines the good friday agreement. president biden expected to talk more about the economy and the economic benefits of doing business here than trying to if you will confront or pressure the gup to get back into that power sharing government. and somewhat of a personal trip for the president has long highlighted his irish roots. nick robertson, thank you. the drought crisis out west is now leading to a dire warning from federal officials just ahead how a crucial decision by several states could have a major impact on the water for cities like los angeles have lost vegas. i am christine, man. i am retired from public health nursing and from the army reserve. my

whole new dimension touch of modern .com. solomon in new york. and this is cnn. for breaking right now, if you can believe it, yet another mass shooting this time at a funeral home in washington, d. c this afternoon. that's according to d . c metropolitan police chief said four people were shot. one of them was killed, he added. the gunfire began just as people have been leaving the building. point. it appears that several people who were in the bloc were specifically targeted were unsure why that is. we're on shark why these people were targeted more more or less why they were targeted at a funeral. we don't understand that. ah it is tough to wrap your head around. there is no word at this hour the condition of three people who did survive that tune , the chief said again. they were on the sidewalk as you

heard there, leaving when the gunfire began after several drought stricken states couldn't agree amongst themselves and how to they could share the resources from the colorado river. the federal government is now stepping in with a plan of its own. yeah, it is recommending how to best divide the river's water amongst seven states that include california, arizona and nevada. the crisis as a result of decades of overuse, combined with years of drought, all worsened by the climate crisis, people in cities like los angeles, phoenix and las vegas could all see their lives changed because of this new rule. cnn chief climate correspondent bill weir joins us now to explain this is fascinating and frightening at the same time bill, so it's a what is the government's plan and how extreme could these cuts actually be for residents? well, they're going to take them to the maximum that environmental impact studies will allow. that means two million acre feet of water cuts going forward. that is as much as arizona users and an entire year that's 684 billion gallons of water that

will have to be cut and they laid out three scenarios, one where the rights holders, the farmers and tribes who have the rights to the most water get theirs. and then in which case all the cuts would have to be absorbed by los angeles and las vegas and cities like that. they do one where it's equitable, where everybody shares the pain across the seven basis states and then the third option is to do nothing and watch the entire system crash right now. it is about a quarter full. the tank of water out west is a quarter full right now holds it right now. 13 million acre feet of water so that two million you can see the percentage that they want to cut, but really, the final decision isn't going to come until august. this is sort of like the parents sitting the family down, saying here's our options. you guys figure out the way to go forward. but in the end of the day, the 40 million people who live out west will have to live with less water. so that's what ultimately going to happen. the fact that we got to this point where the parents are

sitting the kids down going, okay? you got to figure this out. here are your options. what was this sticking point amongst the states? why couldn't they figure out something on their own? it's basically california versus everybody else. california has the irrigation districts in southern california have these grandfathered in rights where they take the brunt of the water at the expense of the upper basin states in utah and colorado that actually are doing more with less. places like las vegas are doing an amazing job at conservation. but there's just not enough to go around and the law of the river was written in the twenties after one of the wettest years ever, so they've been over allocated water for a century now, and it's time for people to come together and figure out equitable way forward when you've got cities and ranchers and tribes and ski resorts and golf courses, all competing over every drop, you can see how it gets very complicated. the hope is it doesn't end up in court as the system crashes, but it's a it's a decision time and it's not an easy one, no matter which way you go. yeah, definitely not. but certainly important that we know bill. appreciate

words to put it mildly. what more to the four minutes to tell you. well, i'll tell you that we watch these exercises from the outside with alarm the scale of them that the apparent target here right. a military attack on invasion of taiwan. so i asked the foreign minister. how does taiwan look at these exercises from the inside and with genuine alarm and seriousness, because what they see in the scale of these things in the seriousness our preparations, training for military attack on the island? there's genuine concern there. is beijing in your view, threatening taiwan with war. yes indeed. look at the military sizes, exercises and also their rhetoric. there seems to be trying to get ready to launch a war against taiwan. but if we look at the u. n charter, the most fundamental t net in

resolving international dispute should be through peaceful means and beijing's way of channeling the differences between taiwan and china is through coercion, military threat and the threat to use force against taiwan and these are all acceptable and therefore the taiwanese government. look at the chinese military trip, something that cannot be accepted and we condemned it. does taiwan have today what it needs to defend itself. yes we do. we have been a procuring military arsenals from the united states for a long time in when president biden was in office. all these years they have announced a night badges of arms sale to taiwan, and we have also been increasing our military training. so that we are ready at any moment if china wants to launch a war against taiwan, and i think in in in a war situation

the determination is probably more important than the military equipment and this is also going to impact economically the rest of the world and therefore the international community, especially democracies should tell china to stop threatening war and to stop preparing for war against taiwan. these exercises, of course, followed the visit of the taiwanese president of the u. s, including meetings. among them with the house speaker kevin mccarthy. is there any regret. is it your view your concern that the costs were too high? no the president of taiwan where there is president lee president chen president marwood now, president . hi we're being visiting our diplomatic allies in latin america, uh, and with transits through the united states, and it's been going on for decades, and therefore china should not

make any exception out of these transit through the united states. china cannot dictate how tight a one make friends. and china cannot dictate how our friends i want to show support to taiwan. you mentioned, uh, outside support for taiwan's defense more than once. president biden has said that the us will defend taiwan militarily if china were to attack. as you know, oftentimes , his advisers will then say that the u. s policy has not changed. but then the president will say it again. the u. s will defend taiwan militarily does taiwan believed that the us would come to taiwan's defense militarily if china were to invade. well, there are different things, uh, the united states can do in any event of the chinese military attack against taiwan, but we have also made it very clear defending taiwan is our own responsibility. it's our freedom. and it's our democratic

way of life and it's all sovereignty and we want to defend ourselves. and what we see is that the united states seems to be more determined than ever in the creating a situation that china would know that is military attack against taiwan is going to be associated with a heavy cost, and we appreciate the united states for having this posture. before we go. there are differing assessments of when china might make an attempt to attack taiwan militarily. there's a us general who made quite some headlines several weeks ago when he said, be prepared by 2025. there have been intelligence assessments that china might try by 2027, or at least that she has told his military to be ready by then. from taiwan's point of view. has it become a question not of if but of when china might take military action. ah it is our

perspective that china may use force against taiwan. but if we learned what china has learned over the years is that they want to use military force at the time when they have to, but sometimes they want to, uh, crossed the enemies without the actual use of force, and we are seeing different kinds of perspectives being in discussion here in taiwan, but normally the when china is going to use this military force against taiwan. taiwan needs to be prepared. if china sees that taiwan is prepared taiwan has adequate depends capabilities ensure that chinese leaders will think twice before they decide to use force against taiwan and no matter where it is 2025 or 2027, or even beyond taiwan simply needs to get ready. i also asked the foreign minister about comments from the french president emmanuel macron over this

weekend after meeting with the chinese president's in which he seemed to suggest that france didn't want to get involved in the taiwan flap come out on the side of the us here and now, french officials have since said those comments were misinterpreted. but i asked the foreign minister how taiwan interpreted that comment and they say they've reached out to the french government to get clarity to see exactly what he meant. so they certainly are watching those comments in the comments of the other foreign leaders with great concern right now, in the midst of these exercises, erica and bianna was quite puzzling to hear from president macron taiwan, really putting their money where their mouth is dramatically increasing their defense budget and spending over the past few years. great reporting there, jim sciutto. thank you. thanks guys. good to see you. good to see you. we'll be right back. you need to deliver new apps fastst using the services you wt in the clouds of your choice. with flexible multi cloud services that enable digital
