with both a ham gun and a semi automatic rifle. on the suspect is deceased, at this point, ah, dps is assisting with the investigation. and at this point, the mitigation is leading to tell us that the, the suspect a did act alone during this ins crime, president joe biden returned home to a country reeling from another must shooting, asking the questions on the minds of many why are we willing to live with this carnage. why don't we keep letting this happen? we're in god's name as our backbone. to have the courage to do with a stand up to the lobby sh. amid the pres platitudes, and familiar symbols of public morning. anger at to assist them. paralyzed by politics, costing the lives of ordinary americans. what are we doing?

what are we doing? just days after a shooter walked into a grocery store to gun down african american patrons, we have another sandy hook on our hands. what are we doing? with $200.00 must shootings in the us this year alone. the debate of a gun control has rarely been out of the headlines. hillary clinton says america is becoming a nation of anguished. screams this small town in texas. just the latest place you'll hear the cries of pain over young lies could tragically shalt let's bring in date of lease washington correspondent to me some escandone now. so me some hours have now passed. what more do we know about how this unfold?

as time has been passing, anthony, we're getting bits and pieces of information coming in. as you mentioned already, we're hearing now that it is a 19 children and at least one adult. in addition to the shooter who is dead. there are others who are still in the hospital. we understand some could be fighting for their lives. so this death toll that we mentioned could rise again. and i want to stress again that among the 19 students dead, we're talking about kids in the elementary school who are in 2nd, 3rd, 4th grade. that means kids from around 6 years old to around 11 who, 10, attended this elementary school, a rob elementary school in val, day and authorities are still in the process of speaking with the families of the victims. they said they would release more information once the families have received all the information they could share. and with so many victims, anthony, this process is going to take time. we don't know if it is even complete yet. we do know is that this was a lone gunman, according to authorities 18 years old. he attended the high school interval day and

we heard that the shooter actually shot his grandmother before getting into the car . heading to the school. he apparently abandoned his vehicle and enter the school and it's being reported that he had a rifle and that he was wearing body armor. we also have heard, although this hasn't been confirmed yet, we have to be careful with also all this information that he did purchased those weapons legally and did engage in fire with police officers at the school. so it is not clear how that happened and we are hearing that his grandmother is in critical condition according to a reports here. but again, so much information is still being processed. anthony, there is a massive law enforcement pro law enforcement presence on the ground investigating it. lauren forestman naturally dealing with the victims. do we know much more about the young man or indeed, why he did this? well, that's exactly what authorities are trying to piece together right now. we have a federal law enforcement the f b, i joining local law enforcement right now. we don't

a whole lot at this point about the shooter. we know that and he had apparently posted some violent messages online and we understand from what i seen on twitter that some of the shooters allegedly, some of the shooters social media accounts have been suspended. as some of these investigations are ongoing. again that he was an 18 years old and from this community had attended a high school in this town. we don't know anthony if he attended this elementary school, even if he was intending to attack the school or. and most importantly, why he would commit this crime. so we're hoping in the course of the coming hours and days that we will find more information out about what was behind this attack. we heard you as president jimmy joe biden urging the nation to stand up to the powerful gun lobby. is there any chance that this time there will be enough anger to say politicians legislate to stop this happening? i think there's very little chance of that, anthony. i mean, we heard that very emotional president biden, they're demanding action. this is

a message i should say that we've heard echoed across washington from democratic senators and representatives. and it was just 10 days ago that there was a mass shooting at a supermarket and buffalo that killed 10 black americans. and if you look at the house of representatives where democrats do have a majority, they have been able to move forward with some type of gun regulation. so strict are background checks on the types of weapons that can be purchase, but that has stopped short and the senate republicans have repeatedly blocked any efforts to move forward with this legislation. and indeed, anthony, today we have seen already republicans calling for more armed protection at schools rather than less regulation to restrict access to gun. so again, that avenue for change looks very slim. here they w. washington correspondent, to me so much scandal. many thanks and he now are some of the other stories making news around the world to sell. north korea has launched another 3 ballistic missiles according to its neighbors. south korea says the rockets were

fired towards the coast. u. s. president joe biden has just wrapped the trick to asia. he stressed washington's commitment to defend its allies against north korean aggression. as more monkey pox virus cases are reported around the world, germany is recommending a $21.00 day florentine to contain the spread over 30 stress. this does not signal the start of a new pandemic. germany has ordered 40000 monkey pox vaccine doses or russia stepping up its attacks on ukraine's eastern don bass region. heavy fighting is reported in and around the town of c of the next. the regional governor says 12 people were killed by shilling. moscow says it will continue, it's offensive until it achieves its goals. and his nightly address president vladimir soleski warned russia is determined to destroy everything in don bests. salenti also paid tribute to the fierce resistance put up by the ukrainian people.

my mommy of that is that we must always remember that we have withstood these 3 months thanks to dozens of thousands of feet from all who defend the state. now. so and the cost of tens of thousands of lives, of ukrainian men and women killed by the occupiers, willie or cooper. now that moscow is concentrating its fire power on don bass. zalinski called the situation. they're extremely difficult. the w correspondent, mathias bullying her traveled to the region which has been under heavy fire for weeks hears his report from the city of the chance. the 2 weeks listed chance has been without water to day. a truck is expected to bring drinking water, and others have been standing here for hours. actors, no one knows when they're going to bring it more than 20000 people to remain in the city. fighting along the main road has made access difficult, and the city itself is by no means
