of texas a&m. i want to bring in nick who has been busy working the phone trying to figure out what happened, how injured, how many people? >> we don't know how many people have been shot. i just got off the phone with sergeant jason james of the bryan police department. he said multiple people shot. the investigation is still continuing. they don't know if there's another suspect right now. this did happen off campus just blocks away from the university. it's scary for them there. >> scary for people anywhere given what happened recently. >> there was a gunman spotted on campus. they issued campus code maroon locking the campus down. they don't know if anyone from the university is involved.

multiple people shot including civilians and police officers. >> when i spoke not too long ago, she told me, you never know how many people are involved. she said one person is contained, but there's the possibility and they are looking sboog it now that others could be involved. >> this is still a fluid situation. they don't know if there's another suspect. one person in custody blocks away from the campus. like you said, scary situation anywhere. >> and still the details of the injuries, we don't know yet. >> we don't know the severity and how many people have been shot. the first call came in at 12:12. according to sergeant jason james, the first officer that responded was listed as down. another officer we responded and took that suspect into custody. >> let us know. thank you very much. we appreciate it.

now this. congressman paul ryan has just made remarks at the iowa state fair. this is his first public solo appearance since becoming mitt romney's running mate. peter, give me some of the backdrop. we played some of the sound. it was very noisy. was there some sort of scuffle? what happened? >> reporter: there was a bit of pushing and shoving going on here. lots of shouting from people in the crowd. it's sort of par for the course. protesters, hecklers. when they were on the republican primary all faced that too. there were some protesters shouting about the poor. ryan brushed them off saying you guys must not be from iowa. it won some smiles from some locals. he said we're used to shouting

in wisconsin, his home state where that polarizing recall race concluded earlier this year. he really held his own for his first solo appearance. a lot of republicans i talked to right after said they were pretty impressed and they said he's only going to get better. >> what exactly did he have to say and how long did he speak? >> reporter: he spoke for about 15 minutes. he showed up early and walked through the crowd. he's flying out to colorado later today. he had a small group of people around him kind of mobbing him for autographs and pictures. he was happy to shake hands and talk about the green bay packers. >> okay. let's roll some sound. here is what he really said. >> paul ryan have talked about is saving.

>> president obama has given us four years of trillion dollar plus deficits. he's spending our children into a diminished future. we don't have to stand for that. we're not going to stand for that. november 6th, we're going to change that. we also need to have free and fair trade to make more things in iowa, make more things here, sell them overseas. 97% of the world's consumers are out of this country. we need to grow and make things in places like wisconsin, iowa and the midwest. if we do that, we'll create jobs. >> vintage paul ryan there on the soap box. pett peter, sounds like the line we've got to stop spending money we don't have. the do they think that's a vote getting line? >> reporter: yeah.

i talked to a senior republican elected official after the speech who was talking about whether ryan was the better pick than marco rubio. he said if romney picked rubio, he would be facing a lot of questions about immigration and the dream act and marco rubio is too. paul ryan will face questions about his controversial plan for medicare and medicaid, but those dub with romney's spending and debt. they'll dispatch paul ryan all over the country to talk about debt. you got a little flavor of that right now despite the screaming. >> thank you. just a little shout out to you. always breaking the news and has just fascinating political tidbits. follow him on twitter. we appreciate it. we know we're going to hear a lot about paul ryan and his views on medicare. one critic, that would be the president of the united states,

says his plan would end medicare as we know it. others speculate his plan could cause big problems for romney specifically in florida, home to quite an elderly population or retirees. they talked about the approach to medicare last night when they appeared on "60 minutes." take a look. >> paul ryan have talked about is saving medicare, is providing people greater choice in medicare. making sure it's there for current seniors. no changes for current seniors or those nearing retirement but looking for young people down the road saying we're going to give you a bigger choice. >> bigger choice. elizabeth cohen with me now. first, let's talk where is medicare now and how would paul ryan like to change it? >> medicare hasn't changed much in 40-something years. it's a federal program where you turn 65 and you get your health insurance through the federal government. what paul ryan is saying not now but in 2023, how about we give

people a choice. you can have the traditional federal medicare program that we all know or we'll give you a voucher. you use that to go buy private health insurance. if it costs more than what the voucher is worth, you pay out of pocket and if it costs less, you get the difference. >> that would increase competition and reduce the price but there's criticism as well. >> there's a concern that the way set it up, that the voucher doesn't keep pace. it will be worth less and less as the years go by. he healthier seniors will see this choice and say i'm going to get private and that leaves the sicker seniors in medicare and it becomes financially not possible if you get the sickest people in it. >> how does mitt romney now

having chosen paul ryan as his number two, how does he feel about the specifics of the plan? >> he was asked about this weekend and the answer was to use a medical term, mushy. not quite clear. first of all, he said it's the romney -- this wasn't him. this was the senior advisoadvis. it's the romney-ryan ticket and romney will be putting forth his own budget which makes it sound like he may not go with ryan's plan on this. then he also said something to the effect, he said that if romney were president then he would sign off on this medicare plan if it were part of the budget. it's not quite clear if he is saying i'm my own man and i don't like this or i'm my on man and i do like this and i would sign off on it. >> ergo mushy? >> exactly. >> i'm sure they will work to

clarify. thank you very much. some great news for you. i'll be traveling to tampa. so lovely to be headed back there where republicans will be holding their national convention two weeks from today. that kicks off august 27th. we'll be doing the show live all week long. paul ryan was on the soap box at the iowa state fair today. he's not the only special someone in iowa. president obama there as well. the president had scheduled three days in the state working to energize supporters who gave him a huge campaign boost back in 2008 during the primary there and when he defeated senator john mccain. president obama used the crushing drought that we have been reporting on facing farmers that there really is a way to criticize paul ryan and his philosophy toward government. here he was. >> i am told that governor romney's new running mate might

be around iowa the next few days. if you happen to see congressman ryan, tell him how important this farm bill is to iowa and our rural communities. we've got to put politics aside when it comes to doing the right thing for rural america and for iowa. >> the president did say he considers paul ryan a good man and a family man, but said he fundamentally disagrees with ryan's vision for the country. we do have some more news just in for you. this coming from washington state. here is what we know. the first three floors of the capital building have been evacuated. the governor's office was evacua evacuated. a suspicious box was found on the second floor of the washington state capital. bomb squad in route to figure out what's going on with the situation. washington state patrol is there. they're investigating and from what we have heard there's no legislative activities scheduled for today. we'll stay on that.

israel. it's called the sinai peninsula. egy egypt's forces here raided this area. this is south of al gura. it's the latest move against the militants and the deadly back and forth that started two sundays ago. in this area here, this is the border crossing right there. this is when egyptian forces took a devastating blow. they killed 16 soldiers and two armored vehicles as they tried to get into israel. it's believed they are trying to undo the delicate peace with israel. then we have cairo. this is all happening. president morsi is in cairo. he's flexing his muscles in an unprecedented way. he forced his defense minister into retirement, and morsi did

the same to four other top military leaders. >> translator: it was not meant to target certain persons nor did i intend to embarrass institutions. >> i want to go straight to cairo to ian lee. put this in perspective for us. how big of a move was this for mohamed morsi and how are egyptians reacting? >> reporter: this was, egypt is in state of shock now. for the last two months we've been watching this power struggle between president mohamed morsi and the military. he eliminated his rivals within the military while keeping the military structure in tact. this move gives him all the

cards. other than have presidential powers he now has legislative powers. he also has powers, a lot of influence over the writing of the new constitution. as one prominent political figure in egypt says he has super powers. with super powers comes super responsibility. anything that goes right or goes wrong will fall on his head. he cannot hide behind the military anymore. after this decision was made, the muslim brotherhood wanted to show their support for this decision. they called their supporters out to demonstrate to show that they support this decision. there's also an aspect of egyptian society that's very much afraid of what's going on. you have a president from the muslim brotherhoods with all the power. they are afraid he's going to try to consolidate power to keep them in charge for the years to

come. if we throw away all of that drama and look at yesterday's decision, it was historical because for egypt, for the first time for the country's history you have a civilian elected leader who doesn't have to answer to the military. that was a big move in egypt. >> i have to ask, what's the response from the military, this forced retirement? >> reporter: so far the military hasn't given us a response. they have been tight lipped. that's what we see with the military and this lets us believe they're going to go along with it. what the prime minister said to us yesterday was that the military was advised about this. what we're hearing is he didn't know this was going on. what we're hering this went on behind his back. if you remember the revolution last year in egypt, we didn't know what the military was going to do until we saw tanks rolling down the street.

we're not going to probably get any forewarning of what they have to plan if they have anything planned. >> okay. ian lee for us. thank. a man known as rambo is the most wanted fugitive in a country that rarely sees violent crimes and now they are pulling out all the stops to track him down.

now to talk a little politics. the romney-ryan campaign represent something we've never seen before. you have a mormon and a catholic on the same ticket. since joe biden is a catholic that means president obama is the only protestant on the ballot for either party. jeff, welcome to you. just first things firsts. is this really that big of a deal the fact that we only have one protestant in the race for the white house? >> it's probably not that big of a deal. i think what's a bigger deal is the fact that we have two communities represented in both the mormon and the catholic community who had previously been seen as marginalized and now they stand at the top of the republican ticket. >> paul ryan said his catholic beliefs infused his big budget

ideas. the conference of bishops criticize his budget. one of the lead nuns said she didn't like it. she is still hoping for a meeting with congressman ryan. one of the nuns is sister simon campbell. he is a faithful catholic, but he is misguided. will he make a big difference when it comes to catholic support for mitt romney? >> it's interesting dynamic in this election because with the two vice presidential candidates, you have different visions of catholicism being represented. you have joe biden of the working class catholic background. you have mr. ryan on the other hand who represents a different catholic background. in a sense, one of the most interesting dynamics that can come out of this particular election will be an

accountability moment for the religious communities that are involved. when the catholics start to define themselves, are they going to define themselves more in terms of pro-life, contraception? will they define themselves more in terms of social witness, social gospel? you have in some senses competing visions that actually exist within that large diverse tent of catholicism that will be an interesting conversation as we go forward. who's vision of catholicism will be the one most attractive to the american people? >> that's interesting. that's something to watch for and be merging. we also have mitt romney, of all the ads we talked about last week, mitt romney ran this ad last week declaring that president obama waged war on religion. here is part of that. >> president obama used his health care plan to declare war on religion forcing religious institutions to go against their

faith. mitt romney believes that's wrong. when religious freedom is threatened, who do you want to stand with? >> i'm mitt romney and i approve this message. >> here is what i wanted to know from you. here we are, we're in august three months out. what kind of sign is it that rom is still trying to appeal to the religious base? >> i think it's an interesting move to sort of make this decision to go after a religious war rhetoric. it's unfortunate, the war rhetoric is unfortunate. from a religious community standpoint, the community of mormonism had always been portrayed by the dominant religious community of protestantism as the other, as the one that's being waged war against. mr. romney is turning that on its head and waging war from his

perspective against the protestant establishment represented by mr. obama in the white house. it's an interesting move to make this shift. >> did you think bringing all these sort of religious differences together that ideology is trumping theology? >> i would absolutely say that's the case. i think that's the case in politics altogether. it's very seldom the case that theology centers and guides ideology in the political order as much as we think. i've read mr. ryan's statements on the fact that catholic social teaching guides his particular budgetary process, i think that's going to be the issue as we go forward is what vision of catholicism does undergird or guide his budgetary process?

do is to secure documents to see whether or not this program was appropriate, it was adequate, how it was structured and the president said no? why? executive privilege. >> you point out republicans want the information. we heard from top democrat in the house of representatives nancy pelosi saying this is a partisan lawsuit. it's waste of resources, waste of taxpayer dollars. that's that side of the thing. i want to move on here to the second case because this has to do with the beastie boys and the beastie boy who passed away adam yak. his will prohibits the use of him in commercials. he passed away of cancer. he was one of three. can this provision of his will be upheld? >> it's not going to stand. here is why. there's a distinction between publici publicity right and copyright.
