8:01 pm
continues and a terrified community in lockdown. tonight on laura coates live. well, he is still out there. somewhere. and he is armed, dangerous. the gunman who killed 18 people in lewiston, maine. law enforcement is urgently searching for robert card, the person you see on the screen there at this very moment. and we are more than 24 hours after those fateful shots rang out in a bowling alley and also at a bar and grill. it left at least 18 people dead and another 13 injured. earlier tonight investigators said they detected something inside or near the home. they don't know what or who they may have been detecting. they warned on a loudspeaker at one point, come out with your
8:02 pm
hands up. there was no response. and now card is still on the loose. imagine what it would be like to be in the area of lewiston tonight. fearing that the suspect in the killing of your neighbors, your friends, loved ones, is out there. somewhere under the cover of, now, darkness. the police do not know for sure where this man is right now, but they do know he is a trained fire arms instructor, a member of the united states army reserves, and he's one of the best shooters in his unit who is so far managed to invade evade them. and law enforcement sources said that card recently woke broke up with a longtime girlfriend, investigators are pursuing the theory that he went to the bowling alley end of the bar where 18 people were shot to death possibly because they were placed where the
8:03 pm
couple used to frequent. can you imagine? i want to get around to cnn's brian todd who's on the senior the suspects last known address. brian, a dramatic scene unfolding this evening at robert card's house. what did you see and hear tonight? >> well, laura, it was very dramatic and we thought for a while there that there might be a standoff going on. this occurred about 250 yards behind me where the home owned by the suspect, robert card, is located. starting at about seven pm eastern time law enforcement really just poured assets into this area, on the street came right up to the house with tactical vehicles, armored vehicles, air assets like drones and helicopters, converged upon the scene. they have several personnel on the ground, canine teams, and other technical assets. they also, we noticed them fanning out in a field, a farm field just adjacent to the house for a short period. it might have been an effort to surround the place. about that time, where we are,
8:04 pm
the media is at this position on a driveway overlooking this place, log forsman came up to us and said you guys need to shut your lights off. your camera lights of. so he filmed that in the darkness. the reason for that was they said our lights were creating a danger for law enforcement. so at that point we shut our lights off, of course, and film them in darkness, but we observed a pretty dramatic scene. they had a law enforcement officer on a bullhorn as they put a spotlight on the front of the house doing a kind of one-way dialogue. at that point we thought there maybe someone in the house. a dialogue kind of went like this. come out with your hands up, come out with nothing showing in your hands. almost speaking to the person who may have been inside on a personal level saying we know this could be intimidating for you. we can guarantee your safety. we don't want anyone else to get hurt. and then at various times they which again say, we really want to talk to you, please come out, please follow our instructions. come out, come to the front of the driveway where the truck is. things like that. it was very kind of matter of
8:05 pm
fact and a deliberate way of speaking. it was not too urgent, but it went on and on for probably a good 30 minutes and then it abruptly stopped. at that point they kept shifting their assets all over the place. the vehicles would move in a certain way, the spotlight would move to a different part of the house, and then they gradually extracted everyone. we are told right now there is really no is seen here to be had as far as law enforcement presence, but we knew they were looking for something and our sources indicate that it was unknown whether he was there at the time or not, but they had to kind of do their due diligence and check around. we are told that they will return to this area tomorrow,. possibly to search more areas of this property. >> is there any indication, brian, as to why they thought someone was in that house, to have that sustained communication in the back and forth? >> well, according to the sources that my colleagues have been working all night, laura, they received an indication that someone or something might
8:06 pm
be in the house. what that indication was that we don't quite know. whether it was a tip from a neighbor who might have seen something or something else, but they did have an indication that something or someone was in the house. and we have to stress, when they came here at seven pm eastern time, that was the second time they had been here today. a couple of hours before that they had shown up not with the same kind of overwhelming presence, but with some tactical vehicles and officers and they kind of approached the house, not quite rushing it, but they approached the house. and we heard flash bangs going of. again, we're told that standard procedure. when you're not sure something or someone is in, there you go in with force, you go in with flash bangs to kind of keep that element of surprise. after they did that they kind of withdrew and they came back a couple of hours later. >> brian todd, thank you so much. this is really quickly moving, thank you for all you're doing. keep us posted, i want to go now to cnn's john berman. he is in lewiston. john, the suspect, you just heard from brian, they were
8:07 pm
looking at the home, the last known address, they were talking about coming out with your hands up. there was no response, no indication as to why they went there. the suspect remains on the run. what are you learning at this very hour? >> yeah, the suspect remains on the run, which means where i am, in lewiston, the second most populous city in maine, some 40,000 residents here, they are in a shelter in place order right now. they have been told to secure your homes, secure your cars, and it's not just lewistown here, but it's parts of two pretty big counties totaling about 100,000 people that have been told to shelter in place and that will extend, now, through tomorrow, assuming there are no dramatic developments overnight. which means that schools will be closed in these communities, a lot of businesses will be closed, banks have been closed throughout the state, al been, as i've been talking about all day was closed today, it's opened on christmas day but was closed today because of safety concerns. so people of had to alter their
8:08 pm
lives. and, by and large, they are obeying the suggestions to stay indoors. really, the roads are mostly deserted as you drive through here and occasionally what you will see is a police car drive by or a sheriff's vehicle, state police. we saw investigators behind us by the bar in lewiston, and this is one of the crime scenes were eight people were killed. and we saw investigators, including fbi, going in and out all day there. but the situation, you know, it very much continues and it has people very much on edge, laura. >> you are talking about the cars, and of course the vehicles, but you are very familiar with main and for people who might not be as familiar with this area or how transportation really also happens in maine, we are talking about estuaries, we're talking about bodies of water, we're talking about an area where boats are very common. how easy would it be for this individual not to escape, maybe by car, but maybe to be eluding
8:09 pm
the officers by boat? >> well, remember, laura, the suspect's car was found by a boat plunge about ten miles from here in lisbon, maine, right on the androscoggin river. that is a river that is navigable. you could take a boat up and down that river. the kenabeek river is another river a little bit north of here, you can take a boat up and down. we know the coast guard was operating on the kenabeek river, searching for the suspect today. and then, not far from here, 15 miles east or so, is the atlantic ocean and not just the ocean but all kinds of inlets. as you are alluding to there, so many cut ins to the main coast, all up and down the coast. there are a lot of possible places where he could run to and get in a boat. now, once you are in a boat it is a different situation in terms of being on the run. obviously you've got no cover from the sky. you can't hide under trees when you're in a boat and, one reason we expect there have been so many helicopters up in
8:10 pm
the air searching, drones up in the air searching, is to have eyes on these waterways, on the rivers, and further out, maybe even on the coast. the coast guard very much aware of this, very much involved in the search operations now, laura. it is an all hands on deck. no pun intended with the water references here. an all hands on deck search effort going on in this part of the state. >> john berman, please, my friend, stay stay fit. you are there, there's still an active man hunt, please bring us what you can. we appreciate it so much. joining me now, former fbi special agent daniel brenner and former fbi assistant director for the criminal investigative addition chris swagger. he was the fbi special agent in charge of the search for the serial bomber eric rudolph. you know, this is more than 24 hours later. i'll begin with you, chris. as you are looking at how the last 24 hours have unfolded, tell me, what is your assessment of what has taken place? the suspect's actions and,
8:11 pm
really, how could he have been able to evade authorities altogether so far? >> yeah, laura, i think this person is mentally disturbed. that is obvious just by the nature of the act itself, but also we know there is a documented record of mental -- some sort of mental disorder. but he planned well. he executed his plan. he attacked two different places, it inflicted mass casualties, he is trained, he is a firearms instructor, he's a specialist in the army, 21 years, he is an outdoorsman, and obviously fishes and hunts in that area, it's a fishing and hunting area. he probably knows the area better than any local authorities, maybe the wildlife officers. so although he is mentally disturbed he planned this to the tee and i think his escape, as part of that plan. he either got to that boat ramp
8:12 pm
and did a switch car situation, like mike roberts do, and he's in a clean car and is a hundreds of miles away, or he went with what is familiar, with is his boat, that river, the wilderness area and in and around that area. he probably priest docked and priest elected some locations like eric rudolph did and, you know, he could hang out in those woods for a long time without getting caught. just like eric rudolph. eric rudolph was on the run for five years and he never went more than eight miles from where he was last seen. >> that's unbelievable. >> this could be a very long, drawn out search. >> think about the communities. they are on lockdown, still, daniel. the suspect could have fled on foot, could have gone by boat, could have gone by car. there are a world, frankly, of, possibilities, and we know, at least, that this person has -- is a person of interest to have killed all of these people, that has the training, the firearms training, the military
8:13 pm
training as well. so walk me through what investigators, with all those possibilities, what are they doing right now to track them? they must have technology to figure out whether he is inside certain buildings, is the dogs, what do you do to tackle us? >> well, i think there is a lot of different leads that are being developed right now. the tactical operations specialist at the command center being led by the state police and all the other entities are all there together gathering every piece of evidence and every piece of lead. they are looking at. they are looking at army cid criminal investigation division, looking at is army life, personal life, online presence. everything that he has touched within the last 5 to 10 years they are looking into it, that's creating the leads. looking into not only determine his motive was, but what is steps were. as chris was saying, he absolutely left his vehicle
8:14 pm
where there is a boat launch. it could've gone into his second vehicle. i think the theory of him going out into the open ocean on his small boat, it is going to be a little difficult because he would need fuel. so i think the theory of either him taking the boat down river and then getting off where chris was saying, where he is got supplies set up and he can go into the woods. i also think about eric rudolph man hunt, he was captured by a patrol officer five years after he was put on the ten most wanted. so this man knows he's woods, he is trained, he is an expert at urban in the woods. and he has got his weapons. so he is a danger, but all of the investigators are putting all the leads together to try to determine and get inside his mind before the events in which they occurred. >> also, it could've been that we are talking about a car at a boat ramp that might have been part of a strategic de
8:15 pm
cooperation. you just have no idea that that is something he anticipated in some respect, as well. you both mentioned the similarities between him and eric rudolph and the amount of time it took to track him down. getting into the mind of the why, for the victims and the families who are grieving the loss of their loved ones and offenses occurred in this community, the motive might not be paramount but that is also what investigators are looking at. they discovered -- a developed a working theory according to sources that told my colleague john miller, there's a theory of why the suspect targeted the bowling alley, why he targeted to the bar and grill. he had recently broke up with a longtime girlfriend and they frequented these locations. what do you make, chris, of that theory that is right now being discussed? >> you know, john's a very credible person. i worked with him in the fbi. he knows the difference between rumor and fact. so i think it is a very
8:16 pm
plausible working theory. i have said all day long that this is a personal thing. when the issue of terrorism came up, it just doesn't have the indicators there. so there is a trigger or a set of triggers, and he's been digressing for a while. instance at work, lost his job, supposedly broke up or had to break up with his girlfriend, has been hearing voices. just got hearing aids and those voices were in his ear in those two places, apparently. these are places that he frequented, so this could be part of a slide, a gradual slide, and then a trigger. and i think that happens very often with mass killers like this. so the role of mental illness just looms large over this whole thing. >> daniel, there is a law enforcement trying to find this person. they're calling him armed and dangerous. you heard what chris had to say about the initial not reflecting a terrorist angle, but there are lot enforcement
8:17 pm
entities out right now who are likely afraid of running into a trap, being ambushed, their safety and that of the community is certainly in peril. what are the considerations for law enforcement tonight in terms of the cover of darkness and where we are? >> well, that is obviously a danger, just like in the pennsylvania man hunt were they were walking through an area and looking for him in a slow, methodical method. but, what the community needs to understand, is that law enforcement is putting themselves out there for that reason. that is why we took the badge, it's why we took the job, is to make sure, even if we run into a danger, that we are getting ourselves out there to prevent it from someone in the community, an additional person getting hurt. that lives the sacrifice of some of these law enforcement. the most important thing is capturing and mitigating the threat. getting out there and moving through the area. now, once they determine a
8:18 pm
location, whether it is the woods, or like in pennsylvania, where there is an area, that is when other assets will start focusing on that area. whether it be canine, whether it be aircraft, infrared, looking down, you have also drones. so lots of different assets are being brought in. fbi boston, fbi albany, i'm sure new haven, all the other assets. hsi, they are all coming in and i'm sure countless law enforcement agencies in the area are flooding the area saying how can we help? and there lies where the incident command center will start pushing them into areas once they determine leads. at this point to the investigators are out there interviewing people, looking at data, looking at possible leads, looking at easy past -- suspicious activity, anything that could possibly apply a lead as to where he is gone. those investigators will then develop the lead, send it back to the command center, and then
8:19 pm
they start focusing the search teams in that area. >> an extremely wide net and extremely broad expertise. both of you, daniel brunner, chris wecker, thank you so much. we are learning morere tonight about the victims of this latest mass shooting. coming up i will talk to the family of tricia asselin, who is a bowling last night when she lost her life just trying to save others. and our other breaking news tonight, the united states striking two facilities linked to iranian-backed militias in syria. a report from the pentagon iss nextxt.
8:20 pm
8:21 pm
8:22 pm
8:23 pm
>> we've got much more to come on our breaking news. the urgent manhunt for a mass shooting suspect continues in maine. but first, one of the more breaking news tonight, the pentagon saying in the u.s. has carried out air strikes in syria, targeting iranian proxy facilities. we're going to right now to cnn's oren liebermann who's at the pentagon for us, along with a cnn military analyst, retired
8:24 pm
major general spider marks. oren, i want to begin with you here. the united states striking two facilities linked to iranian-backed militias. they say, in retaliation for attacks against u.s. forces in the region. what more do you know? >> that's right, these strikes happen in just a short time ago within the last couple of hours. to you as f-16 fighter jets using precision guided missiles to target two facilities in eastern syria, in a town called album all right on the iraq syria bordeaux there. according to a senior investigative official, and a senior military official, they targeted a weapons storage facility, and ammunition storage facility. interest of how these facilities were picked, the officials say these were used by iranian-backed militias and helped, assisted in the carrying out of attacks on u.s. forces over the course of the past nine days or so. according to the pentagon, there have now been a total of 19 attacks across iraq and syria against u.s. forces in those countries over the course, or rather since october 17th.
8:25 pm
and it is because of those attacks, and it is because of the link the pentagon seized to iran, that the u.s. felt the need, at this point, to respond and carried out these airstrikes in response. in terms of whether there were casualties, as a result of these strikes, the senior military official says there were people at these facilities earlier on in the day, presumably as they were being surveilled. but the officials said that those were not civilians. the officials said they are linked with either iran or the iranian-backed militias in the area, pointing the finger squarely at tehran there. but in a statement about the strikes, as worth noting that lloyd austin was careful in his wording here. he said that these were narrow strikes intended to protect u.s. forces, but also warned there could be more of these strikes showed iranian-backed proxies in the region continue to attack u.s. forces. he was also trying to draw a very clear distinction between the fighting going on in gaza between israel and hamas, saying it's not connected in any way at all to the purpose of u.s. forces in iraq and
8:26 pm
syria. they are there as part of a coalition between ices, and that should not be viewed or connected in any way, trying to make very clear to iran that the u.s. will aid defend its troops and, b, try to prevent this from spreading in any way. with not only forces as the regions in the past couple of days, but also carrier strike group that are in and head to the middle east as well as more u.s. forces in the region. >> oren, thank you so much. general marks, to oren's point, the u.s. has been warning iran that they will defend our forces. is this, in the narrowness of the strikes, as secretary austin was mentioning, is this the correct approach to get that attention and get that message across? >> well, i think the irgc, the islamic revolutionary guard corps, which is what we're talking about, and look, there's not a thing that takes place in iran that doesn't have their fingerprints on it. they are in all aspects of society and, obviously, it's a military arm as well. so the irgc understands clearly that we know that the linkage
8:27 pm
of what they are doing with hezbollah, as well as hamas, is crystal clear. and then their attacks, after our support, u.s. support to israel, both the diplomatic support and military presence, as warren has laid out, is crystal clear. and so they were going to go after u.s. presence both in iraq and syria, and realized that the syrian democratic forces, those forces that are fighting against the existing syrian government, are in northeastern syria and the united states have been there. we have troops on the ground since about 2016 in support of their efforts to go after ices. it has been very successful, the united states has drawn those numbers down to about 1000. that is what it's there right now. and the shia crescent that goes from tehran all the way into syria is crystal clear and the united states understands that we are right in the middle of a very hostile environment, doing what needs to be done to keep that expansion.
8:28 pm
so there is no mystery in terms of what the message is from the united states and the message that was received by tehran. >> oren liebermann, general sputter mark, thank you for making this all the more clear, but there are a lot of fronts that we're covering tonight. thank you both for helping to clarify. our other breaking news tonight is a bit like drinking water from a fire hose in terms of what we are covering because there is so many important stories that we are covering tonight, giving you the very latest. entire towns lockdown as the urgent manhunt for the main mast shooting suspect continues. the stories of those we lost is next.
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
8:31 pm
8:32 pm
my son actually, because he's manager of the bar and everything else, picked up a butcher knife and went after the gunman to try to stop him from killing other people. and that is when he shot my son to death. >> if father mourning his son's death. a son who tried to stop the gunman's deadly rampage. his son's name is joseph walker, and walker's dad says that he believes he was targeted because he was trying to help others.
8:33 pm
it took him 14 hours to get word of his son's death. now, he is one of the four victims killed whose names we have been able to confirm. 40 year old brian farlen's mother who tragically lost his life. it was at the bar and grill engaging in a corn hole tournament when he was shot and killed. he was deaf and would not have been able to hear the shots that were fired. 39-year-old paton rooster brewer ross was also playing in that corn whole tournament. he is the father of a two-year-old child. his brother says he never had a bad thing to say about anyone. 34-year-old tommy conrad was the manager at the just in time recreation bowling alley. he is survived by his nine-year-old daughter. tricia asselin was also killed at the bowling alley. she worked their part-time, but she wasn't actually therefore worked last night. only to bowl. she was just 53 years old.
8:34 pm
joining me now, tricia asselin sister bobby nichols, and her niece, shannon desrochers. ladies, i am so sorry that we are meeting like this. bobby, i am so sorry for your loss in particular, as well. how are you this evening? >> i'm a little bit of a mess. >> as i understand you were there in that place when this happened. you are with your sister who worked part-time at just in time recreation. she was enjoying a night of at the bowling alley and you are bowling in another lane. can you tell me what happened, what did you see? >> we were bowling in leagues. they had a junior lead and then they had a bunch of other leagues.
8:35 pm
and we were on different teams. so she was like six miles down for me. so i would bowl, i would go over there and see her bowl. and we heard a big bang and i was actually in between where i was bowling and she was bowling. and before i heard the bang i looked and she wasn't bowling. but i didn't think anything of it. i turned around and decided to walk back and when i turned around, that's when i heard the big bang and i looked before me and i didn't see her. and then i heard another bang and i knew it was a gun. every buddy was yelling it is a gun, it does gun, run, run. people were running into everybody was running. i got trampled a little bit.
8:36 pm
you are running outside in your bowling shoes. you know? leave everything behind. and i just kept running and a bunch of us just kept running and running and running. and it was dark out, and the lighting there is really not that good. so you are running. we came to a fence and we couldn't go any further. and there were trees, we were hiding behind the trees. and the cops came. they were everywhere. >> at what point did you know your sister wasn't with you? >> i knew right then. but somebody that was inside said she called 9-1-1, and don't worry, don't worry. but i think it was like, 8:30, nine inch, maybe i was told she
8:37 pm
was deceased. that he had shot and killed her while she was calling for help. >> bobby, did you ever see the gunman? >> no, i kind of saw the gun, but i didn't see the face. >> you saw the gun? oh my goodness. >> but i don't know one gun from the next so i couldn't exactly say what it was. i'm not exactly sure. >> shannon, just hearing what your mother even went through last night, and to know that this is your aunt we're talking about right now. it has been so devastating for your family and i know that she also has a son. can you tell me how your family is coping, how her son is coping? >> it is hard.
8:38 pm
i don't know. so many emotions at once. just to think that you saw or talked to your aunt only a couple of days ago and now she is gone. you know, she leaves behind her son, she is a mother, she is a hard worker. she works three jobs. she would do anything to help anyone out. and it is just tragic for everybody. >> bobby, you are at the bowling alley. who was around you? we're being told there are children who are bowling as well last night. was it a full place? who was around you? >> yeah, it was full. you walk in and to the right, i don't know how many aisles there are, but they had the junior leagues and the first, probably six or so lanes.
8:39 pm
and then they have, we had tournaments on the next ten lanes or so. and then on the other side they had lanes over there, to, that were being occupied. plus they had people playing pool there. and people were eating at the bar there. so it was pretty full. for a wednesday night, yeah, i would say so. but it was a lot of people there. >> can i ask, who told you what happened to your sister? >> sam. she works inside. i knew when she came out, because i'm pretty sure that she probably was the one that gave the tapes of who the
8:40 pm
person was. but i'm not sure why i'm saying that. anyways, she came out and i said i want to know where my sister is, where is my sister? and she told me i am sorry. and i knew. i went right to my knees and so did she. i waited almost three hours to hear someone say that because i didn't know. i thought she was okay, that she was just in their helping, because that is what she does. she helps everybody. >> bobby, i am so sorry. i am just so sorry for your loss and hearing you describe your sister and what this must be like.
8:41 pm
shannon can you leave us with what you would like the world know about this wonderful soul? >> everybody that knew her knew that she would help anyone. before herself. she put others before herself and she did that night. that is how people are going to remember her, as the good person that she was. >> bobby nichols, shannon desrochers, thank you so much for sharing her life with us tonight. i appreciate it and i am so sorry. >> thank you. >> t thanks.
8:42 pm
8:43 pm
8:44 pm
8:45 pm
>> tonight, as the merchant manhunt is underway, there are entire towns that are locked down as police hunt for 40-year-old army reservist robert cart. a former reservist who served with current told cnn that he is a skilled marksman and also an outdoorsman. joining me now is tim smith, a survival instructor and a 24-year-old master guide and
8:46 pm
also, along with us today, is forensic criminologist brand to be. we're going to begin with you, tim, because for most people when you look at the train it is, you know, heavily wooded, it is rural. that could be an impediment for someone like him and his skill set, this could be an asset. >> yeah, it is really not a super heavily wooded down there, it is pretty built up. it is a pretty congested part of the state. so, as far as it being definitely different than far northern maine. >> could he have gotten into those areas and is the way that it looks up there, with -- those the area were his survival skills might be more readily available than the average person? >> yeah, i think so. basically, from where the events took place, the further north, further west you go, the more remote it is going to get. >> let me ask you about this,
8:47 pm
brand. i'm going to play for you what a neighbor of the suspect told cnn today. listen to what he had to say. >> he just didn't seem like that kind of individual. like i said, he had a lot of problems, but you don't expect him to go off the deep and like that. like i said, when he's out on the news last night i was shocked. i was shocked. >> i would mention his sister in law, cards sister in law, also told cnn that this was a, quote, acute episode, unquote, and not who he is. when you are looking at this it must be pretty common for people to, won the stunned by the behavior like this, but how rare is it that the families would be aware or anticipate something like this happening? >> well, in these kinds of cases, the individual is going to telegraph pretty much every part of their plan to those in their immediate environment. it's not going to be a secret to them. what should be happening right now as they should be interviewing the intended target. whether directly or indirectly,
8:48 pm
which is his ex girlfriend. ex girlfriend, essentially. the job now is to figure out where he is going to go and if he has a plan to hit other targets, because we already know he's got a list in his head if not written out of the places he thinks she's going to be, or associated with, that he intends to inflict damage upon. >> you've got some concerns that this might not be the end of it. if the theory that this was somehow retaliatory or a response to his recent break up, there could be more people in danger? >> i wouldn't use the word retaliatory, it is more like a reaction. he has lost all the anchor points that held him into reality. a successive series of events, and the last thing being the breakup with a girlfriend, she being the person around him becomes fixated as the focus of all of his commute cumulative losses. so she probably knows better than anyone else what he might do next because, likely he's
8:49 pm
told, likely he's telegraphed or in some way. >> tim, we are more than 24 hours now into this man hunt. part of the strategy for law enforcement will be to inflict stressors on this person of interest in order to bring him out of the shadows. what kinds of challenges would he be facing the more desperate he becomes if he is out in the wild, in maine, in some respects? what are those challenges the more desperate he gets? the food and shelter? >> short term it is going to be shelter, staying warm. food is really not going to kick in for a couple of days. you know, as long as a week. the human body can go a long time without ingesting any food, but definitely staying warm on the cold main nights and staying hydrated. those are going to be huge things, physiologically. >> really important here both of your perspectives, there is a lot of challenges for law enforcement. we're going to stay focused on
8:50 pm
what happens in this ongoing manhunt. thank you both. tim smith and brent kirby. a college campus was also on lockdown, students sheltering in their classrooms and wherever they could be found. fear striking bates college in luis town after last night's shooting. i talked t to o the studenent sl prpresident.
8:51 pm
8:52 pm
8:53 pm
