looking out for to ensure with capital murder charges for this individual. the mass shooting is already being called the deadliest in u.s. history and it's just one of over $32000.00 incidents related to gun violence in the united states this year alone. and joining me now in the studio is reporter erin chilton for more analysis or erin it's not confirmed yet that this shooter wrote this manifesto this white supremacist manifesto that's been found online but we've already seen several other mass shootings in the united states that were carried out by right wing extremist a similar ideology is at what point can we say this is clearly a pattern well i mean it does seem like we're seeing a quite strong pattern right here but this is really going to hinge on the on into city of the menu faster that's actually being spread. online but if it is confirmed to be authentic and from the shooter then we can say we are seen a very very clear pattern i mean we've seen multiple times in the last several months killings like this violent attacks from nationalist forces united states

6:07 pm
support for this to happen what's in the way here what's the obstacle well i think this goes much beyond gun laws i mean you have to really think about it these waves of mass shootings really kicked off with the columbine massacre massacre back in 1909 and you know i'm 35 you and i are both of the generation that does not know in america without the constant threat of mass shootings the thing is every time these shootings happen the exact same thing happens both political side start playing the finger at one another saying this is happening because of you some people say it's because we have too many guns others say it's because we don't have enough guns some people say it's a mental health crisis other people say has socio economic factors the thing is united states never comes together has an adult conversation and says this is what we need to do to fix the situation and that is why we keep having. these events we keep seeing things like columbine and we come together and say never again that we have virginia tech come together and say never again it happens again and again and again and we're letting it happen and it's because the united states refused to sit

down and have a conversation with itself and that's the situation used to be the case that you and i would have conversations like this every couple years and then it became every couple months and then it became 6 days ago then yesterday and then 13 hours later we're having the exact same conversation because united states does not have a long look in the mirror and say we have a problem that we need to address and fix and facing down the presidential campaign which is revving up now so this is certainly going to become a central question as ohio is a very politically advantageous states. for thank you so much then over you some of the other stories making news around the world sudan's military she has signed a power sharing agreement with protest leaders that paves the way for civilian rule to deal establishes a joint council that will govern until elections in 3 years the breakthrough ends months of violent protests in which over 100 people or tell. turkish president
