that number could go up depending on those injured in the hospital right now. he is now being held in jail without bond. what we now know about his motivations in the warning signals that were missed. also happening right now, the senate voting on whether or not to move ahead with one of four competing immigration plans, one backed by a group of 22 bipartisan senators the president threatened to veto just narrowly failed. we're live in d.c. with what happens next on that front. joining us this hour, we have broward county commissioner michael udine. a former boston police superintendent daniel malinsky. judge andrew napolitano and oklahoma senator james inhofe. melissa: let's go to nicole petallides on floor of new york stock exchange what is driving this rally. >> 27 dow components in the green with three just in the

red. we're looking at a intraday chart. we were briefly in the red territory, finishing at highs of the day. we're up 25,200. people have been getting more comfortable with higher inflation and higher rates which they're expecting a rate hike in march when powell takes over in the first run at the federal open market committee head. we're looking at movers here. dow, nasdaq, s&p or the week, unbelievable. up, 4, 5% for the week. best since 2016. s&p 500 finished above 2719. the best finish four weeks. winners, apple, boeing, united technologies. apple got a nice big boost from warren buffett berkshire hathaway increased its stake by 23% in apple. stock is up 3.3%. boeing, united technologies also winners. take a look at amazon at a two-day chart here of amazon.

moving into the close. there it is, up .71 dollars, closing 1461 and change. five days in a row of gains. back to you. melissa: nicole, thank you. david: let's bring in lanhee chen, from the hoover institution who follows the economy. we have heather as well, heather zumarriaga. good to see you, heather. appreciate it. lanhee, first to you, we got another inflation stat out today. the market seems to discount inflation nair figures. has the market got it right or should they be concerned? >> i think the market has it right. my sense those concerns in a lot of ways have been overvalued. i think where we are, we're in a place frankly where people feel really good about the strength of the economy. they feel really good about the direction we're headed in. what we're seeing in a outgrowth of that optimism about the economy that continues and tax cut legislation continues to spawn positive news in the form

of whether it is employer bonuses, or in some cases additional equity to some employees. in many situations what we're seeing here, exuberance continuing, which is good news going forward. david: heather, big business is in particular, hate it when interest rates go up. i think not only of our government debt but all of the central banks, all over the world have all these bond that they will put on the market in order to sell those bonds. they will have to raise interest rates a bit. rates are going up. will that not be a headwind for corporations going forward? >> it will be a headwind, david, but doesn't seem to be a headwind right now. david: not at all. >> market shrugged off inflation data yesterday from the consumer price index and producer price index this morning showing 2.7% print on annualized rate. inflation is well above the 2% target that the federal reserve has as their mandate. i know it doesn't seem like the markets care but i think that

inflation fears especially when the 10-year hits 3% will creep back into the markets, david, at some point in time. i don't think this is over but i love this action. melissa: yeah. new signs of optimism in the economy. 63% of american voters are confident in the stock market. this is according to a new "fox news poll." also you have to buy into polls in order to believe this, but there you go. the survey was conducted february 10th to 13th following wild swings in the market. then you have this goldman sachs ceo giving president trump credit for economic growth. lloyd blankfein saying if president didn't win and hillary clinton won, i bet you economy is higher today than it otherwise would be. lanhee, what do you make of this, lloyd blankfein stating the obvious. he supported the or the candidate very openly. is he admitting the truth? is he trying to curry favor, what do you make of it? >> i think melissa he is stating

a truism there are two elements to this situation we're seeing now. one is there is actually been policy that has been passed. trump administration led on the tax reform legislation as we've talked about. that has been a big factor. but the other part of this is really about generating optimism in the economy from the per speck he have the bully pulpit. that is something president trump has done pretty well i think. i think blankfein is saying look, i think trump would have done, is doing it better than his opponent would have done it, better than hillary clinton would have done it. i don't think that is the case. melissa: that is ironic. goldman sachs was among group peddling garbage the stock market would crash and economy would implode and planets would collide if trump won. >> who knew. melissa: go ahead. your take. >> other wall street titans like jpmorgan's jamie dimon has raved about tax reform. now lloyd blankfein is raving about the economy. they have not been backers of

president trump really outwardly. melissa: no. >> it doesn't mean that they are now but at least they are saying that they're supportive of the economic agenda comming out of the white house right now. and that is what matters, ratherless whether or not you voted for trump, seems like most americans, again based on this poll, are very, put the economy in high standards right now. melissa: well-put. heather, lanhee, thanks. david. david: the investigation into yesterday's tragic shoot something just beginning. a lot of questions remain unanswered. a judge ordering the suspect, 19-year-old nikolas cruz could be held without bond on 17 counts ever premeditated murder. tragically that number may increase. here is a first responder at the scene speaking moments ago about the quick action he took. >> as i continued down this roadway i discovered an individual walking on the sidewalk, that, was wearing the clothing description that had been given over the radio.

he looked like a typical high school student and for a quick moment, i thought, could this be the person is this the person who i need to stop? melissa: i mean a lot of warning signs were missed along the way, right? many students describing the suspect as disturbed, others joking in the past about him shooting up the school? take a listen. >> honestly all the people were saying it was going to be him, stuff like that. all the kids joked about that, saying that he would be the one who shoot up the school but turns out everyone predicted it. that's crazy. melissa: here is daniel linsky played a crucial role during the boston marathon bombings as chief of the boston police department. i heard you earlier today saying a lot of things that made sense about the mental health aspect of this. everybody is retreating to their

political corners. we do not want to do that. there are some factors that go into this need to be changed. there is no silver bullet but one aspect i heard you talking about the idea, if you feel like someone is a mental health risk, and this person had been flagged, one thing is about behavioral intervention. how do you intervene and get someone the help they need? many cases you hear parents talking about not being able it find help they need for their kid? what, talk to me a little bit solutions in that area do you think? >> this school, the school system should have a behavioral interinvestigation team that when someone identified having challenges and presenting risks to the student environment, an entire task force where it is school administrative officials, it is school psychologists, it is counseling staff it is public health officials, law enforcement sit down to deal with the problem.

they had a procedure. they expelled the student from the class. that didn't fix the problem. melissa: no, in fact it probably made it worse. >> absolutely made it worse. melissa: maybe made him more alienated, washed their hands at that point, in large part helping to set off this chain of events. that is one of the many factors. i know there were so many one thing you mentioned before, do they have the right, could they remain weapons from this individual? >> absolutely. the behaviorial intervention team look at the problem, not the symptom. the symptom he is acting up in school. the problem this kid is off the rails and eventually going to cause harm to people as he did. they should have gotten services around him. went to the home. i understand he had recent loss of a family member, even more of

ex-exacerbation factor. who is looking out for the kid. does he need medical issues? does he need to be in counseling? does he need a mentor? does he need a coach? does he need housing or does he need the criminal justice system? when we figure out and find out he is torturing animals and posting photographs and videos of it, that is criminal offense. law enforcement could have gotten involved. instead of taking him to counselor and support group, take him into court. get him probation into a court clinic. mandated to seek treatment. you have oversight of him. when you get expelled, teachers are not checking up on him. they were no longer accountable. he was off the radar screen. melissa: he was let loose on the community at that point. >> exactly. >> broward sheriff said they would like to have the ability in situations where they have somebody who is danger, making threats, at this point this person had become an adult, both his adoptive parents had passed away. he wanted the right to institutionalize him, get him

help against his will. what is your response to that? a lot of people worry about everyone's civil rights, keep of civil rights of those who were killed as well, how do you balance it? >> the sheriff is absolutely right. in boston we have program operation home front, police officials, school official, clergy, help the community, go to the home to figure out the best situation for the individual. if we got to the point that this individual was engauging in criminal activity, mutilating animals or was psychologically unable to safely own firearms, as chief of police, with that information, i could revoke his license to carry at least temporarily. he would have a hearing on that. we could go to a court, your honor, these are the things we're concerned about. we think he needs to seek medical treatment. in some cases law enforcement can force somebody, law enforcement, medical official, or family member can force people to get mental health treatment in need of it. melissa: daniel, you're so smart. thanks for coming on.

we appreciate it. i hope those thoughts get to the right people. >> tragic for all involved. thank you for having me. david: we have breaking news on the earnings front. cbs is out with their numbers. market appears to like it. the stock is trading up after-hours. why, nicole? >> beat on top and bottom lines. stock is up 2.2%. earnings per share 120 versus 1.14. gave outlook as well for 2018. we're look for any news on cbs and viacom. there we know the companies have met. the ceos have met recently as last friday. the analysts are on board, analysts over at piper jaffray saying that the deal makes sense on the surface. so we'll watch for that. the one piece of news with this to the downside. that was revenue per advertising. we all know what happened in the fourth quarter of 2016. that was politics. , all politics. year-over-year, quarterly they did lose 3% in ad revenue from

the last quarter of 2016 to the last quarter of 2017. david: not turning off investors right now. they're buying the stock after-hours. >> not at all. david: thank you very much. nicole. melissa: lawmakers are calling for more gun control in the wake of yesterday's mass shooting. could tougher laws have stopped the gunman in this case? we don't know. judge andrew napolitano weighs in on that. later in the hour we'll speak with broward county commissioner michael udine. david: there is no one solution here. only tradeoffs. president trump throwing his support behind a new gas tax to pay for his immigration plan among other things. oklahoma senator jim inhofe was at the meeting with the president where it was proposed yesterday. we'll be speaking with him coming up. melissa: the senate stuck in the mud, blocking all four of their proposed immigration plans including the grassley bill backed by the president. live update from capitol hill, what happened, and where things

go from here. >> mr. president, generously offered a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million daca recipients and daca eligible people. so, it is disappointing but we're not going to give up because the deadline is still march the 5th. the clock is ticking. this is your new house. and a perfectly inconspicuous suv. you must become invisible.

president trump. there were four procedural votes this afternoon, all needed to get 60 in order to stay alive. the fourth vote in the queue was a plan offered by chuck grassley the chair of judiciary committee. grassley said this would be the only plan that could become law. look at vote tell here, 39 yeas, 39 to 60, 60 nos. of the other plans scored 50 votes. by partisan plan of democrats and republicans led by sues can collins of republican of maine, scored 54-45. loser of the hour frankly is president trump but it also shows how far they have to go to get an agreement on daca and immigration before march 5th. some believe that this deadline is little bit later than that. the house minority leader nancy pelosi was asked this morning what date she thinks. she said if you think we can wait until the end of march, you have another thing coming. >> chad, you've seen it all,

needless to say. what do you think happens from here? >> well, nothing. that is the interesting thing. there are a lot of people who think that there are, both side want this to play out just this way. as we look outside of the capitol right now, senators are getting in their cars, heading to the airport. there has been pressure applied by both sides for house speaker paul ryan to put an immigration bill on the floor. he has indicated he would like to do so. so far there is no bill there seems to get 218 votes. there is a push by bob goodlatte, chair of judiciary committee, we think that is whipping 180 range. they need 215, 216. how they break the impasse by march 5th is unclear. you know what this sets up? potential government shutdown on number three, on march 23rd. they will not resolve border issue over border security, wall an daca. >> said they're heading to the airport. do they not know it is thursday? >> well there is air duct in this building somewhere,

melissa. i looked for it for years. we're about to start a big president's day recess. they are out for a week and in that air duct they pump in jet fumes that encourage members to get to the airport. somewhere, the btus were really cranking this afternoon. and really everybody was getting out of dodge because they knew ahead of time none of these proposals was going to break that procedural threshold and get to 60 yeas. melissa: they talk about timing, we can't get it done of the government shuts down, what a bunch chuckleheads. they leave for the weekend so worthless. >> part of this is also, let's be fair here at least to the bipartisan group. david: why? >> the bipartisan group, bear me out on this for a minute. melissa: okay. >> i talked with chris coons, democrat from delaware, susan collins, republican from maine, they worked for weeks on their plan. they put in hours around the clock. senators on both sides, again only got 54 yeas, you need 60 in

the senate. that was a very tough negotiation and both sides gave a lot. that side certainly put in the hours. it is obvious that the republican conservative plan, they didn't even get close to 50 votes on their plan. they came in at 39 yeas. melissa: all right, chad, thank you. >> anytime. melissa: we appreciate you. we appreciate your time. thank you of the. david: by the way we're going into an election in november. neither side wants a bill. it is that simple! they don't want to bill. don't want to go with their constituents, half their constituents will hate. melissa: is there any job you could have achieve so little and stay in. david: i like his reference to the gas fumes. melissa: chuckleheads. david: new details emerging in the wake of the parkland massacre. a live update on victims coming up. president trump calling for some kind of action. democrats calling for some kind

of gun control? is there political solution? fox news senior political analyst, judge andrew napolitano is next. >> we mourn for all of those who lost their lives. we comfort the grieving and the wounded. ♪ at's the hesitation? eh, it just feels too complicated, you know? well sure, at first, but jj can help you with that. jj, will you break it down for this gentleman? hey, ian. you know, at td ameritrade, we can walk you through your options trades step by step until you're comfortable. i could be up for that. that's taking options trading from wall st. to main st. hey guys, wanna play some pool? eh, i'm not really a pool guy. what's the hesitation? it's just complicated. step-by-step options trading support from td ameritrade

>> the wake of the tragedy president trump addressing a grief stricken community. looking for answers. reporter: part of this six-minute address from president trump dress addressing the shooting in parkland, saying you are never alone, you never will be. if you need to talk to someone, there are people out there, when the time comes answer hate with love. the president also very briefly weighed in how he feels this constant stream, at least what seems of it, of these mass shootings all across the country

can be slowed down. the president never mentioning the word guns. instead he chose to focus on the issue of mental health. >> we are committed to working with state and local leaders to help secure our schools and tackle the difficult issue of mental health. reporter: house speaker paul ryan saying there are laws on the books to prevent certain people getting guns. if those people are slipping through the gaps, we need to look at those gaps. nancy pelosi though did take up the issue of guns. she said she would put the election on the line if it meant enacting meaningful gun control measures. >> i would rather pass gun safety legislation than win the election because people die from this. whose political survival in this body is more important than the survival of our children? reporter: melissa, president trump was supposed to head to

florida tomorrow to orlando specifically for a infrastructure event there. that event has been canceled. but the president did say earlier today he would be going to parkland at some point here in the near future. melissa: thank you. david: here is judge andrew napolitano, fox news senior judicial analyst. judge, a lot of legal implications, not just in the prosecution of the perpetrator now but the whole question of mental health and the president raised it today as we just heard. if the kids knew, we heard a lot of interviews with the kids, said we knew this guy was sick from long ago. i talked to people who had kid there. some of the parents heard stories, you know the teachers knew as well. that is the kind of thing that has led to the sheriff of the county suggesting in his mind, if not a solution, at least an attempt to deal with this problem. let's play that tape and get your reaction. >> give police the power if they see something on social media, if they see graphic pictures of

rifles and blood and gore and guns and bombs, if they see something horrific language, if they see a person talking about i want to grow up to be a serial killer we need to have the power to take that person and bring them before mental health professionals at that particular time involuntarily and have them examined. david: i'm sure a lot of civil libertarians, perhaps you as well chafe at that kind of language. what do you think? >> well tell you what i chafe at david, what i talked about this earlier today, the culture of privacy that insulates the reputation of these kids from teachers acting on it. david: yes. >> there are some students in that school said they weren't surprised. the teachers must have picked up what the students were talking about. david: absolutely. >> in my view the teachers have a moral obligation, a fiduciary duty to the children and their parents to report on what they know, whether they report it to

the school administrators or whether they report it to the law enforcement. david: judge, i got to tell you, forgive me for interrupting, as a former teacher, i taught junior high in chicago, when a teacher does that, they immediately get a fingerpointed at them, you're being judgmental. you can not be judgmental about this kid. tough accept the kid for what he is. if is there is severe enough problem, put them on ritalin. there is anti-judgment mentality brought on by all the lawsuits against teachers. that is why it is so hard for them to point the finger and say this kid is sick. >> as you said what you said in one much your e-mails they would rather them as junkies putting them on ritalin and report them. david: it is worse than that, judge. teachers are being encouraged to the psychiatrists who they know

are pull pusher, push ritalin, push stronger drugs than that. that as we know very often disguise as problem, sometimes even accentuates it. >> we need teachers like they have in israel, who are trained it use weapons. they don't flash the weapon. you don't even see the weapon. you don't even know who is the teachers are that are trained but the ones that are trained, david, train once a week. they are as good as or better than the police. and guess where you never see these school invasions? in israel. because the crazies know, you set foot in a school with a gun, someone from whom you least expect it will take you out. a lunatic is not going to obey the law. david: in florida, it is illegal to carry a gun on campus, any place on campus. i assume you would have to change that law. >> of course. did that law stop this from happening. david: absolutely did not. >> of course not. do crazy people determined to kill worry about the law?

no. the only thing they worry about is bullet come back at them. and those bullets should come back at them sooner, rather than later. david: whose mind are you going to have to change? florida is known for some pretty open gun laws, gun laws that allow carrying quite openly in many cases? if you can't change the law in florida, i can't imagine it being changed anywhere else? >> i happen to agree with you on that. the law should be changed in florida, not only permit guns in schools but to require them and require mandatory training by the teachers. i'm not talking about open carry. the students don't even need to know which of their teachers has these. but the crazies will know once tragedy strikes. david: i have to say, in closing, judge, this is a, such a big social problem, the whole breakdown of discipline in our school system, the inability of teachers to point out kid that shouldn't be in that class because they're special, rather than sick, and need to be taken out, or dealt with from a

disciplinarian point of view. it is such a social problem, i wonder if there is any law that can address it. >> when you taught in chicago, i won't give the world a year, because it was long time ago, things have gotten worse, not better. david: judge andrew napolitano. good to talk to you. thank you very much. melissa: the parkland community in florida is trying to process yesterday's deadly mass shooting. the broward county district commissioner is telling us how they're coping. that is coming up. david: also, a new gas tax to fund the infrastructure plan. senator james inhofe heads up the commit tie on transportation and infrastructure is here to address that coming next. ♪ it instantly opens your nose... up to 38% more than cold medicine alone go to breatheright.com today to request a free sample.

melissa: here is another look at the rally on wall street. the dow closing up 306 points. all three major averages higher for the fifth day on track for their best week in years. three stocks, boeing, apple, goldman sachs, accounting for half of the dow's spike. >> this is a priority that is shared by members both parties and most importantly it's shared with the american people and by the american people who i have laid out the principles for the biggest and boldest infrastructure initiative in, at least half a century. this framework will lead to a $1.5 trillion investment in american infrastructure. david: but the question really is, how do we pay for it all?

here now is senator james inhofe, chairman of the senate subcommittee on transportation and infrastructure. he was at that bipartisan meeting with president trump. senator, great to see you. thanks for being here. >> nice to be with you, david. david: the one thing that concerns us, particularly us conservatives who think government has enough money, this idea of a 25-cent tax being put on top of an 18-cent tax we have on a gallon of gas, particularly as gas prices going up, the price of energy is leading the inflationary surge and as we're going into a november election, do you really think that's feasible? >> well, look, there are a lot of people on the committee, i won't names, who are obsessed with the idea of raising that tax, or any other tax i might add but that could be a last resort. let's start, we talked in the meeting with the president yesterday about reminder of what's happening now, right now, we've gone through our fourth

quarter under this president, where we have increased our, increase in the economy from a point 1/2 to 3 and going on four right now. now, for each 1% increase that develops about $2.9 trillion in revenue. so that is something is out there. look, that wasn't a republican idea. that was john kennedy back in 1962. he said the best way to increase revenue is to reduce marginal rates. that worked and that increases economic activity. david: right. so why given all that history are we even talking about -- i mean the president did seem to endures a 25-cent tax on gas yesterday. it is led, there is one guy from freedom works said the follow, i would hate to see a new tax siphon up 20% of the 1000-dollar tax reform bonuses back to the swamp this year. i mean that is the way a lot of people feel. my god, we're just getting the

swamp drained a little bit. some politicians want to fill it up again. >> david, no, i agree with you. the way he characterized it, that would be a last resort. we have some other things that are working right now. we're taking programs like the program where putting those where we can work on the water ports, part of this infrastructure. the thing i just mentioned, we're already reaping benefits of the increase in the economy. that means, developing more revenue. so, yeah, as a last resort that is where the discussion went yesterday in the president's office. david: yesterday, we had that horrific shooting. a lot of people today, particularly inside the beltway are thinking that they have got a solution for the problem of these school shootings. those of us outside the beltway very often say you know, there is no political solution. sometimes there are tradeoffs that have to be made. do you think there is any kind of political solution or at

least partial solution to what is going on? >> david, i don't think so. a government solution, we have a societal problem. anytime we have these states, these communities that are very proud to be communities where they don't obey the law, they don't help law enforcement, what does that say to the next generation of people? it says we're not the nation of laws we were at one time. we've got some catching up to do in terms of how we handle this society, but that ising something that government does not have the immediate answer to. david: fewer laws, better enforced, that is what a lot of people are saying now. senator, we have to leave it at that good to see you my friend. thank you very much. >> good to see you. melissa: feeling heat on capitol hill. va secretary david shulkin under fire after an internal investigation that he improperly accepted wimbledon tickets. david: oh dear. melissa: charged taxpayers for a trip last summer.

shulkin says he regrets the decision and taking steps to make things right. >> i made the decision to reimburse the treasury, to follow the ig recommendations and i'm committed to doing what we have to do to focus on veterans and make this better. david: wimbledon tickets. not a good idea. not if you're working for government. innocent lives taken in just seconds and several more remain in the hospital. a live update on the victims and the survivors of the florida massacre. that's next. ♪ >> so the dude pulled the fire drill. we went outside, boom, boom, heard gunshot. i thought it was firecrackers.

that is actually, i struggle to say good news but a sliver of good news amid such a horrific tragic situation obviously but you're right, originally nine people were brought here yesterday, including the shooter. he was quickly released with minor injuries. turned over to the police. two people sadly died here at the hospital over last 24 hours among the 17 victims. then as you noted one person in physical therapy, another brought out of critical condition, as you mentioned. one still in critical condition, we don't want to minimize the fact there is one person fighting for their life. bottom line we got a chance to talk to some of the doctors dealing with this carnage in the immediate aftermath, talking about how the calls were coming in fast and furious. they, what they call a code green, to deal with the flood of patients coming in.

david: breaking news from florida, we are hearing there will be another update on the mass shooting from the broward county sheriff scott israel. that will be at the top of the hour. we'll of course bring that to you live when it begins. >> we heard banging up and down the hallway. we went to go huddle in the room, and then we heard gunshots. we heard him going up and down the hallway. he shot in my door. >> i heard pretty much all the gunfire, the screams. it was horrific. melissa: those were eyewitnesses, but of course the entire nation was really horrified by yesterday's tragic shooting. a police report coming out saying that the suspect, nikolas cruz confessed to being the shooter according to the associated press. how is the broward county community doing 24 hours after the massacre? here is michael udine, broward

county district commissioner. i was reading your resume'. you've also been the city's mayor. you were a city commissioner. when you were in charge of the city, it was rated the best city for families and safest city in south florida. what do you think of what has happened? >> our city is a safe city and we're a premier city to live in florida. so people come to our city for our schools, our safe way of life and open space. this is unthinkable tragedy by a sick individual who goes on a murderous rampage and as our entire city in a state of shock. >> i imagine. how are they dealing in the aftermath? what have you seen? >> community trying to come together, dealing with sense le murder against our innocent children. there will be a vigil later on

tonight where the community get together with a lot of religious leaders. everywhere i go throughout parkland today, there is eerie sense and somberness cascading throughout the community. and we're a resilient community in parkland. we will not let this define us. we'll move forward in a positive way. that is it what we're about in our small town. melissa: part of moving forward in a positive way is, trying to contribute to the dialogue of how to stop this from happening again. like you said, you know, you're a safe city. you know, we saw your law enforcement react so siftly, so quickly, we wonder now as you look back, you know, with the wisdom of hindsight what do you think could be changed all around the country going forward to help this not happen again? >> i think we really need to adhere to the concept of see something and saying something

and when somebody does say something to an authority it, needs to be thoroughly and properly vetted. i think we see too often that people are saying things and it is not being vetted appropriately. the second thing in schools, there are three thousand students at this school. i mean we need to make sure that we have one way in and out of the school. it really need to be something that needs to be worked on by our security people down here through broward county schools. melissa: what about the idea that this is a troubled student who was identified and expelled from the school? he was obviously having a lot of problems. he had two parents who died, adoptive parents. there was even a note on campus that he was dangerous and he threatened people and he couldn't go on campus with a backpack? seems like if somebody did see something, and somebody did say something, the proper action wasn't taken, no? >> well if that happens, that has to be looked at because the proper action need to be taken. and that is really what needs to happen here. there is got to be common sense

responses responses when these type of scenarios play themselves out. it is important that we learn from these type of tragedies and we need to keep improving throughout the country and in south florida. melissa: what do you think that law enforcement or you know, school officials or government, who should have done something differently once he was expelled, he was identified, couldn't come back on campus? i mean what do you think should have happened? >> they should have made sure that he didn't come back on campus. i mean the school has a school resource deputy that is assigned to the campus. if there is one way in and one way out only, if it was hardened in the way it was in and out, maybe that could have been something that could have lent itself to maybe helping the situation but we're going to have to analyze what went wrong in this tragedy. we're going to have to fix it. responsibility will have to be taken and we'll have to fix it

and, you know, in many cases if somebody is deranged and they have an assault weapon i don't know how you can really, you know -- melissa: take it away ahead of time i guess. they could have taken it away from him. >> we need to take those weapons from people like that ahead of time. we've got to do a better job with this. melissa: michael, thank you. our thoughts and prayers are, everybody says it sounds almost meaning lis now but we are all praying for you, thank you. >> we appreciate your support. david: we are awaiting that live press conference we'll bring that to you as soon as it happens. many of you have been acting how can we help the victims, families, survivors of the florida school shooting? we have answers for you coming up. ptom severity by 45%. shorten your cold with a snap, with zicam.
