4:00 am
released more of his tax returns. graham reacted this morning on cnn's "state of the union." >> what he did on the floor of the senate is so out of bounds. i think he's lying about his statement of knowing something about romney. this is what's wrong -- >> that's pretty stiff. you think the leader of the senate is lying? >> i really do. the son of philadelphia eagles head coach andy reid was found dead in his room at the eagles training camp at lehigh university. garrett reid assisted the strength and conditioning staff at the camp. police say there were no signs of suspicious activity. an investigation is now underway. garrett was just 29 years old. a four-hour hostage situation ends peacefully in california. police in uma city say a man held two employees hostage at a sporting goods store. they add the suspect surrendered after hostage negotiators talked to him. police believe it was a botched robbery. so many chilling moments
4:01 am
unfolded when police were dealing with today's shooting rampage at a sikh temple. the gunman and six others are now dead. let's hear more from police dispatch now. >> the subject is not moving. we're approaching. he's not moving. >> get an ambulance out here. subject down! officer down! bring the ambulance! >> we have one officer shot. >> franklin dispatch. squad 75, 12th howell avenue. subject with a gun. balding, white t-shirt, officer down. >> we have been uncovering new developments on this story on the suspect, the gun, on the moments of terror inside the sikh temple. cnn's deborah feyerick has been
4:02 am
working her sources and has more for us now from new york. deb, what are you learning new? >> first of all, we want to update you on the condition of the three people who were critically wounded. three people had been rushed to a nearby trauma center just moments after the shooting occurred. they were suffering -- one of them was suffering gunshot wounds to the abdomen and chest. another to the face and other extremities. one to the neck. we are told that two of those men are now out of surgery. they are recovering. a third, however, still on that table undergoing what doctors are calling a complex procedure. we don't know what specifically that means. all we can say is two are out of surgery. one is still essentially undergoing this procedure and presumably still struggling to make it through. we can tell you about the search that's going on in the gunman's home. authorities try to uncover what evidence they can as to the motive. fbi saying they don't have a
4:03 am
motive yet. so while they're considering that it's potentially domestic terrorism, they don't have a motive. so they're not willing to say that definitively just yet. don? >> deborah feyerick, thank you. we're also getting new details about the gunman in this case direct from an atf agent at the scene. >> a white male, approximately 40 years of age, and that's all we have as far as his motive in this. we're a long way from this right now. as i said, this is still very fluid with the warrants being served right now at his residence and the scene still being processed. there's a lot of interviews that need to take place with witnesses from inside the temple and so forth. just to reconstruct the crime scene and the timeline of this is still a ways off. >> and one man who works as a translator told us that witnesses inside the temple explained to him what happened in the moments of terror. take a listen. >> my gut is that there's probably just one.
4:04 am
there are just some accounts that conflict in a way that maybe there's two in terms of hearing multiple gunshots. they hear gunshots in the immediate vicinity. it's a question of whether it's an echo or gunshots of policemen or another gunman. >> and you also did hear witness testimony on the actual shooter. you're saying according to witnesses, he had a 9/11 tattoo. he was a caucasian male. what else can you tell us about this witness that you heard from witnesses -- or this shooter? >> i mean, basically, he was fairly tall, around six foot. he was wearing a white t-shirt and black pants. in terms of the actual description, supposedly he might have been driving a red car. we couldn't get a license plate on it. yeah, and that's pretty much what we understand up to this point. >> set the scene for us. tell us about the layout of the temple and what witnesses have told you in terms of where the shooting took place. this was about an hour before most of the people would be
4:05 am
arriving for the 11:30 service. tell us what you can in terms of what you've heard on what happened. >> so essentially the temple is located just off the street. there's a large parking lot once you drive in a little bit. one of the gunmen opened fire at the entrance of the parking lot killing one, if not two people, there. the gunman proceeded to enter -- and i'm not sure where the gunshots were fired at that point. it might have been in this area just outside what we call the religious room, where we keep our holy book and where people pray. and people from the kitchen had heard it. they fled. i guess he went into the holy room and fired on some individuals there, injuring multiple, mainly turbanned individuals. beyond that, he did open fire -- he actually went to another area off to the side where the kitchen area was, where a lot of the ladies were cooking the food
4:06 am
we feed the congregation and open fire there. they were fortunate enough to duck down and dodge it. there were really only minor injuries. for the most part, yeah, most of the stuff was done in front of the holy room and in the holy room. >> you say the possible targets here were turbanned individuals. these were holy men, a few prie priests from your estimation from those who were targeted? >> seems the few casualties that have been divulged to me have been the equivalent of priests, the holy leaders of our temple as well as my uncle, who was one of them, who was one of the administrators of the temple. it's mainly those individuals who have been targeted or shot. maybe it was because the ladies were fortunate enough to dodge it out, but so far most of the people i've heard of getting
4:07 am
shot or killed were all turbaned males. >> more on this story in moments here on cnn. other news to cover as well. it's called sen minutes of terror. just hours from now, 35 million miles from here, a mars rover will try to survive the atmosphere.

4:08 am
4:09 am
the planet mars about it to
4:10 am
get another visitor from earth. it's happening in just a couple hours, and this is it. it's a robot, the biggest robot we've ever sent to land on another planet. a rover and a mobile laboratory with the perfect name, curiosity. it all goes as planned, we'll soon plop down on the surface of mars. the third machine launched from earth to land on the red planet. john, nothing gets space fans fired up like a mars landing. describe the atmosphere where you are at the jet propulsion laboratory right now. >> reporter: yeah, don, it is really amped up here. there are about 400 credentialed members of the media starting to gather, huge crowd. a lot of members of the science team. a lot of members from nasa washington, nasa administrators, the white house's adviser on space and science.
4:11 am
anybody and everybody involved in space is here for this big event. in just about three hours, curiosity will hit the martian atmosphere. nasa put out this pamphlet for all of us called "edl for dummies." it is quite a complicated series of events that's going to take place. it's going to hit the atmosphere traveling at 1300 miles per hour. steering its way through the upper atmosphere, then a parachute will eventually deploy, slowing curiosity down further. then a parachute will eventually deploy, slowing curiosity down further. after that there will be a series of other maneuvers that take place, rockets that are firing, the back shell comes off of the vehicle, then in the final maneuver, a sky crane drops curiosity down on the surface of mars. if any one of these series of events goes wrong, don, the mission will be lost. i had a chance to speak with the president of the mars society
4:12 am
robert zubrin, who talked about just how critical tonight's events are. >> it's very scary. nasa has really bet the farm on this one. this is -- if it succeeds, it's going to be by far the best mars exploration mission ever. curiosity has got instrumentation on it, more powerful than the mars exploration rovers did. it has the power, the ability to travel for years and transmit enormous amounts of data. if it fails, it's going to be really bad. it will be loss not only of the $2 billion mission, but of a decade of preparation and probably the decade to follow. >> reporter: the reason he says that is because if there are no other big mars robotic missions on the books. a couple smaller ones. if this succeeds, don, it could jump start mars exploration, but if not, mars exploration could
4:13 am
be in real trouble. >> okay. so we hope it's not -- you know, they don't get off to a false start as they do three, two, hold it, don't do it again. last we saw on nasa's website, all systems are nominal. we're hoping that's good, john. >> reporter: yeah, very, very good right now. in fact, they had opportunities to do some course corrections in the final hours, and they did not have to do those because they are on such a precise trajectory towards the landing site called the gale crater. >> okay. listen, how long is this thing going to last up there? the last rover has lived a lot longer than they originally thought. >> reporter: yeah, and most all of them ultimately do. that's how good the nasa team is. in fact, there's a mock up of it sitting behind me. this has an rtg. a radio isotope thermoelectric generator. nuclear power. it could last for 60 years.
4:14 am
the rest of the systems won't, but the plan for this mission is two years. then if there's money, they'll continue on beyond that. because they believe this site is so rich in the kinds of things they want to investigate, looking for water, looking for carbon, looking for methane. all of the building blocks of life. the longer they can be down on the planet, the better chances they have of finding out whether life ever existed on mars or perhaps still does. >> the future is now. space, the final frontier. john, don't go anywhere. we're going to talk to you a little later on in this broadcast. thank you very much. very excited members there at the jet propulsion laboratory in pasadena. in the meantime, we must talk about politics, of course. mud slinging between the presidential candidates. not just on the campaign trail. now senators are getting down and dirty and trading insults. we'll tell you what they're bickering over now.
4:15 am
4:16 am
4:17 am
presidential campaign
4:18 am
getting really nasty and not just for the two men running to win the white house. last week majority leader harry reid took to the senate floor to suggest that republican mitt romney hasn't paid any taxes in years. an despite admitting he doesn't have any proof in making his claim. his fellow senator lindsay graham offered a response. we see more often on the playground that reid flat out lying. >> i've actually been around this town for a while. i like harry. but what he did on the floor is out of bounds. i think he's lying about his statement of knowing something about romney. >> that's pretty stiff. you think the leader of the senate is lying? >> i really do. i think he's created an issue here. i think he's making things up at a time when the country is just about to fall apart. cyber security, there's a bipartisan desire to do this. there's plenty of blame to go around. but we're running out of time as a nation. let's start talking about the real issues that matter to real
4:19 am
people. i just can't let that pass. i cannot believe the majority leader of the united states senate would take the floor twice, make accusations that are absolutely unfounded, in my view, and quite frankly diverting away from the real issues. >> some pundits suggest reid's accusation is a way for democrats to keep the focus on mitt romney's personal wealth. a suspected gunman opens fire in a temple's holy room. an officer takes at least one bullet before killing the suspect. you're going to hear the recordings from the dispatch as today's tragedy in wisconsin unfolded.
4:20 am
4:21 am
4:22 am
4:23 am
police face chaos and carnage as a mass shooting unfolded today at a sikh temple in wisconsin. the officer who shot and killed the suspect was wounded in the fire fight. i want you to listen now to the description of the chaos that went on. it's police recordings from the dispatch in wisconsin. >> the subject is not moving. we're approaching upon him. he's not moving. >> 10-4. >> get an ambulance. subject down. officer a down! bring the ambulance! >> we have one officer shot.
4:24 am
>> franklin dispatch. squad 75, south 12th powell avenue. white subject, balding. >> meanwhile, we're getting new details about the suspect. here's thomas ahern with chicago's atf division. >> a white male, approximately 40 years of age. that's all we have. as far as his motive, we're a long way from that right now. the situation is still very fluid with the warrants being served at his residence and the scene still being processed. there's a lot of interviews that need to take place with witnesses inside the temple and so forth and just to reconstruct the crime scene and the time line of this is still a ways off. >> thomas ahern with the atf.
4:25 am
now let's talk with dr. rajawan singh, the chairman of the sikh council on religion and education. of course, now comes a really tough job of burying, sadly, the people who were lost there. the community has been galvanized to see that some good comes out of this. we spoke about that. what happens next for these folks in the sikh community? >> well, we are already receiving messages from sikh leaders and activists from all over the country. there's already a drive to collect funds for the victims as well as the police officers. we want to support the community nationally. of course, the cremation will take place after the investigations are complete, and we will continue to pray for the well being of the families and all those affected. especially my heart goes out to all the women and children who
4:26 am
were in the building at that time. we'll continue to pray and support. we are also touched by support from the american friends and the religious leadership. >> you also mentioned earlier sentiments about the shooter. you said you were praying for the shooter as well. a surprising sentiment so early on in this incident, in this tragedy. >> well, you know, in our faith we have always -- our prayer ends by saying oh, god, please take care of everyone, every human being as your child. so take care of that. so it's coming from that aspect that we are seeking well being. god knows what was going on in his mind that he had to take this out and kill so many
4:27 am
people. but ultimately, you know, we all have some responsibility living in society. how do we lift each human being so nobody's left behind and has to resort to such means to harm other people? so we will continue to pray for anybody, you know, whether it's a victim or the aggressor here. at the same time, we would want that we all, as a nation, come together and take a lesson. not just from here, but from aurora, virginia tech, any tragedy. how do we, as a nation, as a community, come together and support each other? that is what we are hoping will come out of this tragedy. >> and out of this tragedy, you wanted to make an opportunity out of this tragedy for people to learn more about sikhism. you, in fact, invited anyone who is in the sound of our voice, who is listening or watching
4:28 am
around the world to go to a sikh temple this coming sunday. >> absolutely. this is our tradition, that we invite -- in fact, in the old times, when a sikh man is ready to eat a meal, he has to make a call. is anybody hungry? please come and share a meal with me. that tradition continues. every sikh service ends with a community meal where everybody or anybody can come, whether it's the pope or a homeless or a king or a businessman, that they can all come together. we are inviting all americans, especially people who are living in the vicinity of the sikh temples across the nation. please come and join and be part of our sort of love fest, i would call it. we want to share our love and a feeling with each one of you. if anybody wants to wear a turban to show your solidarity, we will lend out our turbans for you to feel how does it -- you know, what kind of feeling you might have to wear a color on your head.
4:29 am
>> thank you. you know, i just -- i find it fascinating and refreshing that you have such a good spirit about this, especially so close to this incident happening earlier today. and it's not one -- you're not accusatory. you're not angry. you are inviting people to come in, and i think that is just -- that's amazing. i just can't thank you enough for doing that. again, i applaud you for it. >> i just want to add one small thing. my name ends with "singh." you interviewed another singh on this station. "singh" means lion. every male has a last name "singh," which was a sense to bring equality. every woman has the last name kaur, which means princess. it is a sense of bringing people together. being fearless in any situation. so that is the concept that we honor deeply in our faith.
4:30 am
>> dr. rajwant singh, thank you. >> thank you so much, don. i really, really appreciate it. >> all right. >> god bless you. >> you as well. you know, this is a very important story. we're going to keep following it this hour as news develops here. new information live from wisconsin with our ted rolands next. uh-oh.
4:31 am
[ male announcer ] when diarrhea hits, kaopectate stops it fast. powerful liquid relief speeds to the source. fast. [ male announcer ] stop the uh-oh fast with kaopectate.
4:32 am
4:33 am
a candlelight vigil being held tonight in milwaukee, not far from where a gunman opened fire today inside a sikh temple. six people were killed. three others are in critical condition. the gunman believed to be killed as well. the latest from wisconsin hospital says the officer shot and killed the suspect described as a white man about 40 years old. let's talk now with cnn's ted
4:34 am
rowlands live in wisconsin. ted, you're learning new information. what do you know? >> well, don, a couple things. first of all, we just watched a family walk out of the temple area where they have been at a bowling alley where they're talking with investigators. they were very, very upset, very emotional. we do believe that the names are just being released now. two of the family members and two of the members of this temple that have been waiting for hours. just a very emotional scene out here right now. we also have learned from the atf that they're taking their time. they expect to be at the suspect's house for much of the evening. one of the reasons for the cautious technique that they're using going into that home is, as you might imagine, what happened in aurora. there's no reason for them to believe the home would be booby-trapped or anything like that, but they are taking their time. they're going in there very cautiously because, of course,
4:35 am
the landscape has changed after aurora. >> all right. ted rowlands, thank you very much as we continue to follow this breaking news here. i think we need to take a moment to reflect here. as ted just reported, sometimes we say things and they just come right out and we gloss over them. family members finding out the names of a loved one. imagine getting that call or hearing that news. your loved one has been shot and killed for no apparent reason. it's been happening so much in the news. we're hearing about it over and over. just two weeks ago we went through a very similar thing. a moment of reflection here. we're back in a moment. ♪
4:36 am
4:37 am
4:38 am
4:39 am
we can't see it from earth, but something very exciting is about to happen way out in space. in just a short time, fingers crossed, a nasa rover called curiosity will reach the surface of the planet mars. john, can i call you a space geek? i guess we all are. at least i am. john is at the jet propulsion laboratory in california right now. curiosity at the end of a long journey. flying since november. just getting to mars is a triumph. >> reporter: yep, 354 million miles it had to travel to get there, over an eight-month period. you can see behind me all of
4:40 am
these people. in fact, the guy who is the head of the entry descent and landing team is in here taking pictures with other members of the mars science lab team, the curiosity rover team. i said have you finished biting off all your nails? he said, yeah, they're just about gone. it's amazing to see how calm these people all are because nasa has never before in the history of mars exploration attempted this kind of a landing on the red planet. in about two and a half hours, as you mentioned, don, curiosity is going to had the the top of the atmosphere traveling at 13,000 miles per hour. [ cheers and applause ] there you go. you can hear them cheering behind me. at that point, a parachute is going to deploy shortly thereafter, further slowing curiosity's speed. then engine rocket motors are going to fire, leveling up the vehicle. the heat shield comes off. then a sky crane drops curiosity down to the surface. and if any one of these things
4:41 am
should go wrong, the mission is lost. it's amazing to see this entire science team here behind me all so calm and excited. in not too long a period of time, they'll all be up in mission control, watching and waiting with the rest of the world and with us to see if curiosity makes it down to the surface. there's adam, right over here. he's the head of the entry descent and landing team. again, he's quite calm, surprisingly so. pretty calm. you're pretty calm. >> terrified on the inside. >> reporter: terrified on the inside, he said. cool on the outside. it is amazing when you see these images here. you can see the crowd, don. it's just -- i've been out here for a lot of these events. all the way back to the sojourner rover in 1997. the polar lander events and others. i have never seen this kind of a crowd, either media or members of the nasa family and the nasa
4:42 am
team all gathered here. this is a huge, huge event. >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: and this is a major, major event for nasa. >> it's a major -- this is a big deal. how does it feel to have people applaud you like that, john? it must be nice. them talking about you. hey, john, human exploration of mars. what does this mean? >> well, you know, the robot explorers had to go first. if they can get this right, it will probably jump start further mars exploration with robotic vehicles. right now there are a couple others on the books but not major missions. like a sample return mission, which nasa's wanted to do for years. they're still planning nasa for human exploration in a 2035 time frame. they're going to have to do a lot more precursor missions and a lot more robotic missions before they undertake a man mission. so this one is critical to keeping up the interest in mars exploration. >> when are we going to know if it's a success?
4:43 am
i ask that because sometimes, you know, rovers land and with technology it takes -- once it' landed and they get together, they have to sort of warm up, get everything in place, the feeds. when do we know? >> very quickly. in fact, it will be 1:31 a.m. eastern time when they expect to get a signal back that the rover is on the ground and on the ground safely. remember, it takes 14 minutes for a signal to actually get to earth. so it will already have been on the ground since 1:17, but they won't know until 1:31 that it's actually made it safely to the ground. and it'll come very quickly. then we'll get a couple pictures. small, black and white photos. one showing one of the wheels on the rover and another giving us a little bit of a picture of the gal es
4:44 am
gale crater site where it's landed. if it they don't get those back right away, it won't be a good sign. >> technology, technology. 14-minute delay. imagine that. sometimes we have a 14-second delay, if that long. it feels like an eternity. thank you, john. 350 million miles away. so there you go. thank you, john. stand by. we'll check back. okay. so now more technology from the front lines to your front yard. look at that. that was live last night in our studio. we're talking drones, next.
4:45 am
4:46 am
4:47 am
they can see anywhere at any time. watching you when you don't have a clue. that's what the enemy knows of anti-terror drones being used overseas. large air drones launched from an airport. they don't think of them like this. on u.s. soil, small enough to fit into the trunk of your car and launch with the push of a button from thousands of miles away. they're being used by cops. here's rodney bossart's story. police in north dakota used a predator drone to secure his property before going in and arresting him on cattle rusting charges last year. want a bird's eye view of real estate? agents are using drones to sell property, and police are using drones to put the smackdown on bad guys. getting an advantage from a cheaper option flying above. and guess what? we had one in the studio with us last night.
4:48 am
william robertson from adaptive flight uav brought it in. it's a little loud, but it is awesome. take a look. >> this vehicle here is called the hornet micro. it's our smallest vehicle. it can provide realtime video. it's a really nice, compact platform that can be easily packed in the trunk of a police car. if the police agency wants to mitigate danger, they might use it. >> and you're looking at that video that is coming from this drone. so the concern is that -- because police departments are using this around the country, that the cops or authorities, big brother will be able to peer into your home and all that. maybe even your neighbor, if you want to check up on your husband and your wife. can anybody get these things? can they go on your website and get one of these? >> not just anyone can get one. it does require approvals, of
4:49 am
course, at the state department and multiple levels. and there are laws in place that prevent people from spying on one another. this vehicle itself is a useful tool for law enforcement and putting -- serving warrants. it's a safety tool. not for spying. not for looking over individuals private property. >> i got it to tell you this is really cool. don't freak out. i'm stepping out of the light here. so what are the limitations. you can't just go in and say, i want to get one of these. i'm worried my wife may be cheating on me. you can't do that, right? >> no. currently there are laws in place around the united states for specific places where you can fly them. like in mesa county, colorado. >> go ahead, tell me about mesa. i can barely hear you. >> in mesa county, colorado, they have a low population density. they have purchased them. they're currently using them for crime scene investigations and basically surveying accident scenes. >> you said anyone who's a u.s. citizen can buy one of these,
4:50 am
right? >> that's correct. >> of course the concern is going to be about abuse. i mean, just because you're not supposed to use it for that, it doesn't mean people won't use it. you're selling it, but you have no use. >> there's no difference in someone parking a van at the corner of a street and videotaping out the window. this is just another tool or another camera platform. >> this is really cool. do you guys sell a bunch of these? >> yes, we do. >> how many, approximately? >> i'm not sure the number we're up to now. the department of justice is one of our customers. of course, the state department has approved some foreign company force purchase also. >> what will this set me back? >> the entire system, with the ground control system, everything, will set you back about $50,000. >> about $50,000 for a drone? so if you want to find out if someone is cheating on you, you want to spy on a neighbor, whatever, you better have a whole lot of money. it's going to cost you a lot. that's really cool. >> not just a gadget.

4:54 am
let's get back to the day's top story. another deadly mass shooting. this one near milwaukee, wisconsin, earlier today. six people are dead. the man who did the shooting also dead. a total of seven people dead. we have been piecing together what we know about the gunman and the weapons used. checking in again now, deborah feyerick from new york with more on the investigation. deb? >> well, don, just to recap everything, three people in critical condition. two of them are now out of surgery. a third, we are told, is undergoing what doctors call a complex procedure. they are not releasing the names of either the police officer who was shot or the other two who are in critical condition. exhausted relatives and friends,
4:55 am
ted rowlands reported just a short time ago, left a building. they were visibly upset, whether it was just the exhaustion of the day or the fact they may have just been notified of the status of their loved ones. that temple, an active crime scene now. forensic experts are going to be poring through that building to try to retrace the gunman's path. the gunman, he is dead. investigators are combing through all his belongings to see if they can try to find a motive, what would drive somebody to do something like this. so right now that's where everything stands. but the sikh community really just reeling and at loose ends as to why someone would have done this. don? >> we'll talk about that in a moment, deb. let's talk more about the gunman now, about the weapons recovered. police won't say on air about the weapons recovered. cnn, according to our sources, have learned new information about that. what is it? >> well, they discovered one weapon, which they believe belongs to the gunman. initially, there were reports of
4:56 am
two weapons. one of those is believed to have belonged to the officer who was shot. one gun was recovered, a .9 millimeter semi-automatic handgun. there were as many as 11 to 14 bullets in the magazine. if it was not a longer magazine which would have meant there were more bullets. he fired on those police officers as he was exiting that temple. so not sure whether he had other magazines, why he left, whether he had done what he set out to do. he's described as a man in his 40s, a white man according to descriptions, and who lived not too far away from the temple. that's the home that's being searched now. that's the neighborhood you see there where police and fbi agents have sort of descended. neighbors were evacuated. they just didn't want to take any chances. don? >> you can imagine they don't want to take any chances there, especially after aurora and that
4:57 am
bobby-trapped apartment that we found out from investigators there. debra feyerick, thank you for your great job today. thank you for your coverage throughout the day here on cnn. you have been magnificent as well as our other staff members. we appreciate that. before we go here, i want to take the time to reflect. there's a candlelight vigil being held for the victims of this shooting. it was in wisconsin not far away from where this shooting happened, where that gunman opened fire inside the sikh temple, killing six people and then an officer killed him. seven people dead. senseless, senseless violence. these people did not have to die. it's time for us to reflect about what we're doing and how we can help each other and learn more about each other. good night. ♪ -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com the search for answers in
