building 197 and confirming one of the weapons used with a pistol they retrieved off of the body of a security officer he shot and killed on his way inside. we will hear a lot more about this throughout the day. martha: i will see you at 1:00 this afternoon. "happening now" starts right now. jenna: motive in the rampage at the navy yard still very much a mystery today. we're learning disturbing new details as investigators are trying to build a profile of this now known lone gunman. great to see you on tuesday. gregg: the deadly attack carried out by an insider, navy reserves veteran working for a defense contractor with a history of mental illness. jenna: that is what reports are saying at the time. when it was over 12 innocent people and the gunman were shot

dead. another eight hurt. the shooter identified as 34-year-old suffering from serious mental health issues, but we're just reminding you as we seek to explain and report out the details of this case, we can't really explain the unexplainable. we have yet to have a doctor on record the details of his mental illness. when we get that we will ring that to you. police say he carried out the attack with three weapons. shotgun, rifle and pistol which he took from the security officer. the gunfire sparking a whole lot. >> we heard some sounds kind of sounded like a muffled gunshot, we didn't know what it was. sounded like everybody evacuating. >> a few seconds it stopped. we just ran. >> should note into her bosses office and she saw the shooter

shooting. i talked to her the second time, said he was actually reloading and that is why they got out of the way. >> they were pushing and shoving, people were falling down. people were climbing the wall trying to get out over the wall. jenna: we named the shooter and we want to name the victims killed in the carnage. michael, sylvia, kathy, john, frank, kenneth. we are live at scene at the washington naval yard with more now. >> good morning, jenna. the naval yard is open for essential personnel only. building 197 is still close because it is an active crimes investigation. there is heavy security manned by d.c. police and navy personnel. the scene of the shooting employing 3000 people as a cafeteria and auditorium i am

told heavily traffic. the response team is inside likely won't be finished until tomorrow at the earliest collecting evidence carefully documenting telltale signs of the movement, violent actions inside the building. some of it captured in scanner traffic recorded during the shooting. >> we have the money for the floor an a man with a shotgun, multiple shots fired, multiple people down. an active shooter on the fourth floor. we will get you an update on the building location. >> we have an officer down building 197 on the third floor. >> we believe that officer to be d.c. canine policeman scott williams, he is in stable condition said to be in the hospital in good spirits surrounded by his family, jenna. jenna: it is good to get an orientation of where the building is and the entrance behind you. what about the hotel and the car

of the shooter? then take a look at both those items already. >> the suspect had a valid id to get on the base and drove his rental car onto the base, the new york plates. the car was searched by investigators last night. one of our producers saw it towed out of this morning showing the doors were forced open and fingerprint dust. a search warrant was issued on his hotel room last night. investigators focusing on his computer and phone records and on his weapons. numerous reports he had three weapons. ar 15, handgun and a shotgun. we heard from the mayor he may have taken a handgun off of a law enforcement official. there are reports to fox this morning a shotgun may have been purchased in virginia. we're still looking to confirm the source of the ar 15 but we can see police officers in front of the gates this morning

carrying ar 15 assault rifles. jenna: much more as it develops. thank you. gregg: where they more about some of the people injured in this. three of the eight victims shot are said to be doing okay. >> d.c. police officer has been out of surgery now for more than an hour. he is stable. in good spirits, fellow police officers, couple of them are around him. i don't have an anticipated time they should be out, but i expect her out within the next hour or two. the third individual is a young woman who was hit in the hand, the finger and the skull. we are watching her to be sure there is no bleeding in the area.

>> was she trying to block her head with her hand? >> from what i understand is she was under her desk and was trying to shield herself. my impression of what she was doing. gregg: lucky to be alive, certainly. that is the doctor from the medical center where most of the injured were reported. jenna: we will tell you a little bit about the washington navy yard and this facility has been a very important part of our nation's military history going back centuries. the military gave the sites to the military in 1799 and has played a role in every major war with the factories turning up weapons to use at sea. during the civil war president lincoln was a frequent visitor to the site. the navy stopped making weapons there in the 1960s converting the factories in the offices you see today. those are the offices for the staff who buy, build and

maintain navy fleets. raising all kinds of questions about security at military inflations all over our country and how it contractor with an arrest record reportedly a history of mental health problems could keep the security clearance. retired u.s. navy commander former commander of the u.s. as had been to the navy yard many times. i want to begin with left off yesterday speaking on this program you receive some text messages from friends and colleagues inside the navy yard sheltering in place relating to what they were experiencing. what are they telling you, how are they today? >> they are doing fine today. i spoke with the one i was exchanging text messages with. he is doing very well. obviously shaken by the events. a little bit of a rough night of sleep after an event like this but they are both out safe and two other officers on board with

me. they are doing well. when they heard the shots they were on the third floor and immediately began to round people up directing them the safety area and get their staff out of there and get as many evacuated as it possibly could. unfortunately this morning i learned a classmate of mine was partially one of the victims of the attack. jenna: so sorry to hear that. it speaks volumes of your friends that exhibited such bravery helping other folks out of that building. being navy men is fitting they were so brave. we have this map area did we just spoke about the history of the navy yard and a map where the building in question is on the far screen (we also have different entrances where people can get into the navy yard. how concerned are you that we have the proper checks in place

that only for contractors but also for military personnel as well? >> we are looking into two major things the investigation. how did alexis get on and how did he gain access and what did he have for an id card to get there. clearly when you cal can't pay e like this during rush hour you have multiple gates open, they're concerned about traffic flowing in. there are security checks of id measure the individual is the individual in the vehicle itse itself. but unless suspicions are raised they would never search the vehicle. the larger question remains how did this individual, you mentioned it a moment ago, how can this individual with the record and background he had be granted security clearance. were there shortcuts by the defense contractor. why did the navy grant him a clearance itself because when you have this type of issues given the number of veterans honorably serving the nation searching for work, why would

you hire someone that clearly has a pattern of misconduct and discharged because of it that only given a job by defense contractor but given clearance itself. that is a tough question the navy is going to have to answer at this point. jenna: that is a big question. we got word of a report there is soon to be released government report that is being done by the inspector general of the defense department that says the navy in an attempt to cut cost, they may have left down their guard to risk posed by outside contractors in the navy yard and other facilities. have you heard of anything over the last several years? they have impacted anyway security at a place like the navy yard? >> have not heard anything direct but i have been told by

the navy that they have felt for a long time that was trimming away, cutting corners and you always incur a degree of risk when you grant somebody security clearance. this issue there were tragic consequences because of it. jenna: we spoke twice in the last 24 hours and i hope we continue to talk frequently. best wishes to your friends affected by the shooting. thank you very much. >> thank you, jenna ha. gregg: the death toll has risen to eight in some of the worst flooding to hit that state in decades. evaluation efforts are continuing this hour but are being public hated by washed out roads and debris. even the army reserve using helicopters to get hundreds of people to higher ground.

>> we were all there and we had nothing but every little bit we shared. >> everything went. >> we almost lost the water. >> we have no idea where the water was. >> they had shades on the windows we had >> my husband was walking up, it was the most beautiful sight in the whole wide world. gregg: live in boulder, colorado, with more. >> a few moments ago the first rescue missions of the day took off behind me. it was the active military. they took off in the direction somewhere we went to taking five and half hours to do what is

normally a 14 minute journey. actually in the mountains. where we got that, this is what we found. the flooding hasn't stopped, but at least the waters have done their worst. heavy rains caused this remote resort town by surprise. new homes were wrecked. a manager at a local golf course. he and his family who live on the rockies front range were cut off for two days. >> it is heartbreaking, it really is. can't imagine how the homeowners feel. it is devastating. there really is no words to describe it. >> wrecking roads, vehicles and more homes. the rains came down they talk to fill the pond, the problem was

the emptying pool beneath it could not state the amount of water coming in and it broke the wall off in the distance sending a whole lot of water rushing through the fish creek. people needed this lighting to safety with the help of rock climbers. >> we crossed the river to safety. i would estimate we got about 40 people across and probably eight or 10 dogs. >> the authorities say it will be months before they can welcome visitors back. the communities that were affected in the foothills much worse than that. it could be months before they see that again. gregg: thanks. jenna: two weeks from today is a big launch date. most americans are concerned about what it will mean for them. what is next for us and how some republicans are still trying to delay key provisions reedit also

[ both laugh ] [ male announcer ] introducing progresso's new creamy alfredo soup. inspired by perfection.

gregg: exactly two weeks from today the first americans can begin signing up for health insurance under the obamacare exchanges. that is not stopping some lawmakers from trying to find ways to defund the law. number of republicans proposing delays for the individual mandate. in the meantime a brand-new fox news poll, they say they are very or somewhat concerned about their health care with the new system. that is more than twice the amount of those who aren't worried. live with more on this. >> that and others show unpopular obamacare is, but another poll shows the only

thing that undercuts the distaste for obamacare is trying to shut down the government to stop it. listen. >> they take it as a failed piece of legislation heard in the country and hurting the families. a defund measure that may lead to a temporary shutdown the government. gregg: even those don't like obamacare shuts down by 2:1 margin. some senators have pushed to defund obamacare by attaching it to resolution to continue federal spending which threatens to shut down the government. g.o.p. leaders are shifting strategy to delay the law for a year just at the present laid several provisions for a year including employer mandate. listen. >> those folks believe a mac deserve some relief as well. as well the delay at least that businesses will get. republicans do.

>> the present has delayed it was that he wanted to delay it for insurance companies. american families they what about us. >> the key is to get democratic votes in the senate. senate. in the late measure got 20 democratic votes in the house and one republican says the measure to match the president's other delays could win both from senate democrats facing tight races next year. >> this will be a tough sell from the state's democrats have to defend anyway. it is quite possible they will put pressure on the leadership to go ahead and delay for a year. >> even drawing support from those behind the permanent defunding movement. years worth of delays is easier than letting obamacare take effect right now. it would pick the president against both parties, not to mention many unions which want the long-delayed or even repealed.

gregg: jim, thanks. jenna: a big question the last several weeks is what happened over the last several weeks with regards to syria. how is that going to impact the agenda that is laying before congress as jim is mentioning right then and there. the president dealt with a lot of big decisions. the "wall street journal" conducted dozens of interviews and has broken down a very tense three weeks. we will talk to one of the reporters next to hasn't that information and ask her what really went on behind closed doors and how this will impact us moving ahead in the last several months of this year. and an engineering feat to haul the costa concordia upright again. how they did it coming up. go ahead of him and win fiy thousand dollars. congratulations you are our one millionth customer.

jenna: writes now russia is weighing and any actions against syria for the chemical weapons use. assisting any resolutions do not include the threat of military force. russia's foreign minister did say the use of force could be considered if syria violates the deal on abandoning its chemical weapons. that is happening now. in the meantime he "wall street journal" take a close look at how the president handle the crisis in syria. publishing in-depth investigative piece after dozens of interviews of white house and defense department officials overseas examining what exactly happened behind closed doors over the last few weeks. the author summed it up like this, saying through mixed messages and without relations and an 11th hour break, they summoned into a crisis. a present many full of reducing the u.s. role as global cost

wantonce global strikes seeking congressional approval to embracing a deal with his biggest international emissary on syria. russian president vladimir putin. our next guest is one of the reporters who wrote that journal story. she joins us now. as far as we know we share the same last name but are not related. we will look into that. i am sure we will be able to figure it out. your piece is really fascinating. talking but the details of what lawmakers were eating when they got the call from the white house that the president was going to seek congressional approval to some of the more in-depth conversations between high-ranking officials. the event shed light on what could prove a pivotal moment for america's role in the world. what is a big take away of how this all went down? >> the big take away is this was a big event in many ways. the piece that we wrote looks at august 21, the day of the chemical weapons attack until

this past weekend and just how much the white house and the president were switching, all kinds of twists and turns in terms of what direction they were going to move in to respond to this. it was downplayed a little bit a couple of days later, talking to the senior advisors this is what he was talking about when he set the red line saying is serious president had used chemical weapons, he would be forced to take action. and then we saw the war going on for the next about week or so. military was prepared to launch a strike. they thought they would get the order. sending out john kerry to make a closing argument on friday. the big change was the chairman

joint chief of staff and hold off on launching strikes and the other thing was a big pivotal moment when the u.s. watched this boat on the u.s. parliament go down. thinking prime minister david cameron to be an ally for him on this and they spoke in the british were telling the white house that they had the votes and they didn't. the white house really underestimated the levels of public, how much the public was against moving and striking syria. that really made them sit up straight as the president went on a walk with his chief of staff on a friday night around the white house lawn and basically laid out what's the thinking was on this. jenna: we have heard this story of him walking on the white house lawn making a speech the next day. susan wright and chuck hagel were really against the

president in congress because of his responsibilities. talking to senior staff saying i'm not interested in style points, i'm interested in results. the big question that comes from our viewers is who is leading in all of this and is there a clear plan and objective when it comes to syria. >> the white house has not done a very good job frankly of communicating what it's syria policy is in this president has been very reluctant to get involved. jenna: does it seem like they have a fair policy or is it they made up in these different steps as they go along? >> ultimately the way the whole situation played out, it appealed to their overarching policy. the white house is trying to separate this particular chemical weapons incident from

the syria policy, which is there is not a military solution to solving the conflict in syria. they really need rush on that. on a separate track at least they tried keep these things in a separate track although there have been meshed together and frankly the critics say hasn't done a good job of explaining what his intentions are here. they tried to keep the chemical weapons attack separate and deal with that and the president was willing to go in militarily. he got a last-minute save by the unplanned comment from senator john kerry that tipped off diplomatic track that the white house had just days before saying all the plant extracts had been exhausted. when we made our commitment to the gulf, bp had two big goals:

jenna: we're getting new information about the gunman in yesterday's deadly shooting at the washington navy yard. investigators are digging into the background to find anything they can, everything that they can in effort to try to understand why he did what he did. casey is live in dallas with more. >> you know, he was born in new york but his last known address was here in texas. because of his military service, he enlisted in the u.s. navy reserves in may of 2007. he did some training in illinois and then made his way back here to texas where he was stationed in fort worth at the naval air

station joint reserve base from 2008 to 2011 until he applied for an early discharge from the military. according to senior u.s. defense officials who have spoken to my colleague, his record included an overall pattern of misconduct but it did not rise to the level of a general or dishonorable discharge as some have reported. now, after he left the navy, he helped out at this thai restaurant in fort worth. his owner was his roommate. he was described as a quiet, nice guy but did not have many american friends and drank heavily. >> i knew that there was some things that aaron was upset about with his veteran benefits. he wasn't getting paid on time or enough but it was nothing of this magnitude. >> the 34-year-old also became a buddhist, a religion rooted in

love and peace. he joins this temple in fort worth where his fellow worshippers tell us he would come to their homes to help them with their chores but there was clearly a different side to him. alexis arrested in 2010 as widely has been reported by fort worth police for illegally discharging a weapon in the city limits at this apartment complex. he said it went off while he was cleaning it accidentally and a bullet flew into his neighbor's apartment. a woman he had had a run-in with over noise complaints. in 2004 he was arrested in seattle and according to that police report there on your screen, alexis fired his gun three times into the tires of a car. that car belonged to a construction worker who was working next to where he lived. the construction manager had told police he thought alexis was angry over the parking situation near the construction site so he does have a rap sheet but as you know, everyone continues to ask the question

why he would have done what he's accused of doing in washington yesterday. jenna: it is the biggest question of them all. thank you. gregg: as we learn more about the gunman's background, you have to wonder how in the world he managed to pass a security check assuming one was actually done. why a contractor would ever hire him. bob is the former co-chair of new york's anti-terrorism task force, now c.e.o. of investigative management group, one of the world's leading corporate investigative specialists. thanks for being with us. >> thanks, gregg. gregg: when he was in the military, conduct and evidence of violence, leave without permission and you would think that alone would be a red flag. >> right. there's so many issues here. just a very basic background check, you know, when you're an agent with the government and you have a security clearance like i was when i first joined the f.b.i. as a clerk and then went to work as a special agent,

investigators, the agents themselves could go and talk to instructors from college, the police chief, the neighbors, the families, the friends. this isn't brain surgery to do a decent, thorough background check but yet when you look here, you say, why wasn't even the arrests picked up, a basic computer check picking up some things that turned up in the past? the problem is we're seeing more and more of these kinds of things. the government has to spend a little more money to do a more thorough job and they're not doing that. they're getting rock bottom price and having non agents do the background and this is what we get. gregg: do you think the recent budget cuts have had an impact on this? >> there's no question there's not enough money to do the proper background checks. we're hiring more sub contractors today to work for the federal government than we've done in our history. gregg: almost five million have a security clearance three levels and you end up with guys like ed snowden. >> you have violence, leaks, all

kinds of issues. i think we need to take a look at this and change the way we conduct the backgrounds. more money has to be spent, a more thorough job has to be done. gregg: i was looking at the adjudicated guidelines. alcohol consumption, emotional, mental and personality disorders, criminal conduct. by the way, that category, criminal conduct, is not exclusive to convictions, arrests would be sufficient. >> definitely. and the interesting thing is even for more firm doing background checks for non government clients, non government employees, schools, you know, just regular workplace issues, they do a more thorough job to make sure they don't have somebody coming into the workplace that could be a big problem for the company so i don't understand why the government, somebody with a security clearance, somebody who can have access to weapons, there wouldn't be a more details, thorough investigation being done. gregg: and 12 people have died, so many others wounded.

we'll talk about government liability, immunity and whether or not this is going to end up in a court of law. but bob, thank you for being with us. >> sure, gregg. jenna: he mentioned 12 people killed in the shooting yesterday and we have the names of the additional five people. we didn't have their names earlier. we just received them into the news room. here they are on the screen. jenna: those are the remaining five names. the martin booedrog, at the beginning of the show we asked how the friendses were doing and he mentioned a fellow naval academy graduate of his, mr. bodrog was injured in the shooting and we did not press him on live television about that because we hadn't received all the names and even in breaking news, we just want to make sure we're respectful of the families and for their privacy but now we have all 12 names of the victims, the people

that were murdered yesterday and surely so many families hurting today. our thoughts and prayers are with them. in the meantime, we have a lot of other people hurting in this country as well because of this terrible situation in colorado. some of the worst flooding that state has seen in decades. some calling it a 500-year flood. do we have any break in the weather? good news ahead? we'll have the forecast coming up and also amazing video showing the delicate process of righting the doomed italian cruise ship. more remarkable pictures coming up. akes your family smile? backflips and cartwheels. love, warmth. here, try this. backflips and camm, ok!s. ching! i like the fact that there's lots of different tastes going on. mmmm! breakfast i'm very impressed. this is a great cereal! honey bunches of oats. i hear you crunching.

orders for illegal immigrants. prince harry is preparing for one very cold journey. where he says he's going and why. jenna: new to news out of italy. a ship wreck at sea rising once again. the costa concordia is being uprighted in what's being called one of the most complex and expensive salvage operations. it's an intense 19 hour operation. the ship is now resting on the rocks again. it will be floated to a salvage yard and then be taken apart by next spring. authorities will also begin the search for the bodies of two people who remain unaccounted for. you may remember the cruise ship crashed into the reef last year. 32 people died in that incident so now finally, it will be moving and hopefully this chapter in some case will come to an end. gregg: it's been a l one.

jenna: new information from the centers for disease control issuing a warning about the growing dangers of super bugs. john roberts has more on this. >> good morning to you. we've been here before. we're here again. centers for disease control issuing an urgent warning about the proliferation of bacteria even the most powerful antiobiotics can't kill and the c.d.c. calculated the number of people who get sick and die from the bugs. take a look at this. each year two million people are made sick by these antiobiotic resistant bacteria. 23,000 of them die.

centers for disease control director says we're facing a health crisis unless urgent care is taken. >> what we've seen as we've developed new antiobiotics, every time a new antiobiotic comes onto the market, there are some bacteria that gradually or quickly develop resistant to the antiobiotic and now we're seeing a situation where some bacteria have resistance to all or virtually all antiobiotics. >> center for disease control has also brought together in one place the most dangerous bacteria. 18 in all and ranked them according to the threat they posed. take a look at this. three most urgent threats are from some very nasty bugs which is an intestinal bug and the familiar e-coli and a particularly nasty drug resistant form of gonorrhea. c.d.c. has been warning more than a decade about the overuse of antiobiotics but many front line doctors are still not

getting the message. >> i think we are not too late to address it. we really can make a difference. if we improve the way we protect the antiobiotics we have, if we find and stop outbreaks, there's a lot we can do but if we don't, we may really be entering a post antiobiotic era and for many patients, that may be the difference between life and death. >> the centers for disease control is turning up the volume to get the word out and encourage drug companies to develop more antiobiotics before the medicine cabinet is empty. jenna: thank you. gregg: dr. seal is with us, professor of medicine at n.y.u. and a fox news medical a-teamer. is this the first time the c.d.c. has really come out with a huge urgent warning here about the potential demise of antiobiotics? >> absolutely the first time a report like this has been out. as john roberts was saying, the doctor reached to us last week

on this and we got a sneak peek. he's a preventative medicine expert. it's something you're not supposed to get. but what happens is that you take an antiobiotic you don't need and it knocks out the good bacteria as well as the bad bacteria. there's good bacteria in there that's protecting you. it's protecting your gut. when the good bacteria is knocked down, bad bacteria can now swarm and freedom nature. you get a lot of die via, a lot of symptoms. if you have chronic illness, you can die from this. gregg: who is to blame? with a common cold, which is normally a viral thing, they're giving you a bacterial z-pack, right? >> you're so right about that. 95% of the upper respiratory infections we see are viral. and the c.d.c. estimates that 50% of the antiobiotics prescribed in this country are unnecessary. and a lot of that is going on in the doctor's office because patients do come in and say to

me, i want a z-pack. i want a z-pack. in the hospital this is going on because you have a very sick patient and you're worried about missing something but doctors have to realize when you give out an antiobiotic, you're also killing the good bacteria and drug companies are making much less antiobiotic. gregg: it's expensive to do that sort of thing but they need to spend the money. also livestock. a major component in antiobiotic resistance is the overuse of common antiobiotics in human and livestock. this can endanger humans when they eat meat. >> the same exact thing is happening in a cow that i just described in a human. when you give an antiobiotic that a cow doesn't need, in the gut of a cow, a resistant bacteria grows. it grows out of the gut into the soil. it can get into the water. it gets into the fertilizer. it gets into the crops. so either from eating meat or you can get it from eating

produce. so we're seeing more and more resistant bacteria because of the antiobiotics we're giving. it's farm animals as well as humans. fwroip and -- and hospitals are not clean up, not using the right disinfectants and we're busy not washing our hands enough, not putting gloves on. the c.d.c. wants to issue information like we just issued to people and they want to get ahead of this rather than wait until the resistant bacterias emerge. gregg: doctor, thanks so much. jenna: an update on the deadly navy yard shooting in washington. what we're learning about the gunman. brand new information just into our news room. we have that for you at the top of the hour. plus violence in syria spilling across the border as the u.n. considers international action. a live report coming up. before mike could see his banking and investing accounts on one page...

jenna: we're nearing noon here on the east coast and breaking developments into the washington navy yard massacre. gregg: police believe that aaron alexis acted alone. and while his motive seems to be a mystery at the moment, there are widespread reports that alexis suffered from a host of mental problems, including paranoia, that he also heard voices in his head. while the veterans administration was reportedly treating him since august, the navy did not declare him mentally unfit which means, essentially, that the former navy reservist and defense contractor did not lose his security clearance. so he still had a valid pass to enter the navy yard yesterday. all this, even though he had two past rouun-ins with believe. he used a rifle to carrie carry

out the rampage yesterday that left 12 people dead and just within the last 30 minutes we learned the names of the last five victims. we're going to have more on that later inside "happening now" but first to the investigation. peter is live at the navy yard in d.c. peter? >> and we just found out in the last few minutes that investigators now believe aaron alexis was shot by a d.c. metro police officer who engaged him during his assault yesterday. federal officials are saying that they had much officers and agents on the scene who were pursuing him but they didn't shoot him. now they believe it was a d.c. metro police officer who shot this mass murderer yesterday at the navy yard. this investigation is fast moving. earlier today we saw authorities tow the car that he just drove to the navy yard to commit his assault yesterday.

it was a blue sedan covered in what looks like fingerprint powder on the car doors and handles. late last night authorities served a room at a nearby residence inn where he was staying. meanwhile, other investigators are looking online for this killer's fingerprints on social media but they're mostly describing out because sources are saying that he doesn't have a twitter or a facebook that they can find. gregg: how did alexis manage to get the guns on to the base or were some of them already there? >> we know that aaron alexis got himself onto the grounds of the washington navy yard behind me with a military issued common access card. and that card allowed him to come onto the base and bypass any kind of a search. he didn't need to swipe that card. all he had to do was show it. we also know that aaron alexis had multiple weapons on him during the assault and we now know he got one of the firearms

likely off of an officer he had just gunned down. >> apparently he used the handgun of somebody, one of the law enforcement officials in the navy yard after he got there. so that investigation is continuing to unfold to see what weapons he had, how many weapons he had and how he used them. >> and later today the navy secretary is going to order a security review for all navy and marine installations. gregg: peter at the navy yard in d.c., thank you. jenna: for more on this investigation into the d.c. navy yard massacre, i'm joined by a former senior counselor to the department of homeland security. we just heard a review of security at some of the military installations. where would you even start that? >> it's a huge problem. there's a reference to the cac card, a smart i.d. card the

d.o.d. issues to active military and military personnel who are retired and those who work for contractors and that gives you access to controlled areas. and as the previous reporter said, you don't have to swipe the card. you just literally show the card and it gives you access to a myriad of facilities and controlled or secured areas so it's a big problem. jenna: explain to us the general discharge the shooter received and why that's raising some questions for you about how he was then given further security clearance as a contractor. >> so here's the problem with these unfolding incidents. there's been conflicting reports on general discharge initially and an honorable discharge and now there's some reporting that came out that he had seven or eight incidents of misconduct. a general discharge, one level below an honorable discharge indicates that the performance was satisfactory but that there was some major problems with the

issue. it's not quite clear whether it was an honorable just a general discharge. there were some incidents before the military which should have been picked up in the security clearance process. jenna: there's so many details we don't know about any of this but it's interesting just to think, wow, you know, 12 years ago, 13 years ago we didn't have a department of homeland security and now there's so many questions about whether or not the government has just grown too big to have proper control over security like the security to our military bases. as someone that worked in the department of homeland security, what do you think about that? >> the military -- well, step back. the government itself has a lot of employees but then there's the civilian contractor aspect of it and there are literally hundreds of thousands of civilian contractors who work for different aspects of the u.s. government. jenna: how essential are those contractors for keeping us safe? because we've had a lot of bad

news about them with edward snowden and now this but in general, there's a lot that are working for our safety and security. >> as big as the government is, it needs the support of civilian contractors. make no doubt about it. i'm a civilian contractor so i beed how important the work is. the u.s. government can't get everything done by itself. the question from a security standpoint, whether it's a government employee or a contractor accident what are we doing to vet these individuals? jenna: as a government contractor, what kind of security clearance have you had to go through? >> i had to go through background checks to become a government employee when i was at the department of homeland security and every five years you come through a process where they review and decide whether or not they're going to continue your clearances, whether you're in the government or whether you've been transferred into becoming a government contractor. jenna: as someone that worked in the government and as a contractor, do you think that's sufficient? >> it's a snap shot in time. unless someone reports an incident or reports an issue,

the background check that goes on takes a look at what you've done up to today and then a decision is made and then again, unless somebody reports something, you have a five-year period where you have that clearance. then you go up for your next reinvestigation. so part of it is a resource issue. a lot of background check work is contracted out to private organizations that do the bulk of the work and pass it to the security officer of the particular government agency that the individual gets the background clearance. jenna: we're outsourcing the security that we're outsourcing for. so the people that are giving permission for additional contractors to work for us and with classified information, they're being cleared by also people that are outsourced from inside the government. >> correct. jenna: that's something we'll take a further look at as the story develops. 24 hours later, that's where we should be. we're still at this place of not knowing but when you look at the profile of the individual, it raises some questions. at this time we know his body

has not been claimed. the feds are interviewing his family. apparently they're talking to everybody that knew him. no social media footprint. you have the association with the buddhist temple and budism and travel to thailand. what do you think of the profile that's emerging so far plus the reports of mental illness that we can't confirm at this time. >> i think there's so much information open source that the government isn't doing a good enough job on gathering and this butts up against snowden and the n.s.a. jenna: what do you mean, open source? >> you made mention of twitter, of facebook. there are literally thousands of media sites that are open source, no expectation of privacy, whether it's instagram or twitter or others that we mentioned. from an investigative standpoint, the government ought to be looking at and combing through open source, through the worldwide web and also email to see what information they can gather about the shooter.

you can discern patterns and behavior that can then be used from a preventative standpoint so we should be monitoring, in my opinion, social media websites to identify individuals who are posting threatening things. look at the dzhokhar tsarnaev and his brother. the older brother set up a youtube page with videos of radical jihadists, preachings and violent videos and we didn't catch that. had we caught that, he would have been back on the radar screen. jenna: then we circle to who would be looking at that. you can contact the contractor. gregg is going to talk more about this coming up but as you point out, there's a lot of open source information where we would be able to find that someone has been arrested but if you do a background check or your employer may not be able to find that information in the routes that they would be going. maybe they wouldn't grill your neighbor look where you last lived. i'm wondering what you think about the patterns of arrest especially when it came to violence using guns. >> typically, you can ask for

release. if you want the job, you sign the release and you allow people to take a look into your background. the question is how extensive are they looking into your background? then the issue of the shooter apparently shot into his neighbor's apartment and wasn't prosecuted. can you pick up that information if there isn't a trail, if he isn't indicted on a charge? jenna: sets us up nicely for our legal panel. thank you for your expertise. gregg: moving on now, syria avoiding a u.s. missile strike for now, at least. but the violence continues to rage between all sides in the country's civil war. earlier today a car bomb exploding at a busy border crossing wounding dozens of people on the doorsteps of one of america's key allies, turkey. that country a nato member also coming under verbal fire by syria which now accusing turkey of shooting down one of their military helicopters. conner powell is live in jerusalem with more. >> for the most part in the last

2 1/2 years, the fighting in syria has stayed inside its own borders but increasingly we're seeing that violence beginning to cross over into turkey who, of course, backs the opposition. now, syria's military is accusing the northern neighbor of trying to escalate tensions between the two saying that the turkish military shot down a syrian helicopter yesterday n. a statement a short while ago, syria said a helicopter mistakenly crossed into turkish air space. turkey confirmed one of the jets did shoot down a syrian helicopter that was caught on tape by amateur video. photographers after it ignored repeated warnings to leave turkish air space and today, a car bomb then exploded near a check point inside turkey that rebels used to go in and out of syria. now, these types of cross border incidents are not new but they are growing more frequent. turkey has been one of the loudest voices trying to convince the obama

administration to arm the rebels and attack the al-assad regime. now as the fighting in syria continues, the u.n. security council continues to work on a plan to remove al-assad's chemical weapons. fox news has learned that the cross between the u.s. and the russian proposal is very, very large with the u.s. insisting that use of force remain on the table. moscow or the vladmir putin plan essentially is trying to remove the use of force and is continually backing the al-assad regime. it really raises questions about whether or not this vladmir putin plan to remove al-assad's chemical weapons is viable in the long run. gregg: thanks. jenna: conner was talking about russia. in the meantime, we have to also keep an eye what's happening with iran and according to reports, there's a chance our president could meet with iran's new leader next week at the u.n. it would be the first meeting of the two countries since 1979. we're going to talk more about that, talk about iran's nuclear program and how iran is working hard to keep syria's dictator in

power, how that could affect negotiations between the united states and iran and their nuclear plan. meantime, the possible government shut down over obamacare that could come in two weeks' time. the political fallout, who wins, who loses. what about us? that's next. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu.

gregg: 2002 weeks to the day president obama blasting republicans who are threatening to shut down the government unless his signature health care law is defunded. mr. obama warning that such action could torpedo america's economic recovery. senior editor and washington columnist for fortune may go sfwloen and a fox news contributor, nini good to see you. >> great to be here. gregg: the president came out

yesterday, five-year anniversary of the financial meltdown and if you listen to part of what he was saying, he seemed to be suggesting that, boy, we're coming roaring back and things are fabulous. i looked at some stats. 54% feel less financially secure now. half say the economy is worse than five years ago and 62% in a gallop poll disapprove the government's handling of the economy. americans don't seem to be buying the president's message of yesterday, do they? >> yeah. 20% of people told gallop that they have trouble, they worry about feeding their family. this is not a recovery by any means. unemployment is still over 7%. we have millions of people who have been out of work for years, literally years who can't get back in the work force. the president's speech yesterday that first the timing was odd. you had this shooting, this shooting going on just, you

know, miles away andtive manhunt on and he stepped forward to basically pick up a vibe for republicans. that said, i don't think there's strategy on the part of the republican party conservative wing to link funding the government with defunding obamacare. i think it's a really bad strategy. gregg: yeah. you mention unemployment still incredibly high, 7.3%. and in the last month alone, 312,000 americans simply just dpaif up. they threw in the towel, said do you know what? i can't work. i can't get a job. and the labor participation rate is now at the lowest level since jimmy carter's years in 1978. that's pretty awful. >> it's awful. it's a record number of people who are not only not working but have actually stopped looking for a job because they're so

discouraged. what does that say about our society? let alone our economy? those are people not paying taxes and people who are contributing to the growth in government funding because the other thing that's happening is costs over programs like food stamps is exploding. disability roles, exploding. so this is not something, you know, keeping people out of the work force is not contributing to the growth of the country which would contribute to more jobs. and what he does, they keep taking their eye off the ball talking about the issue of jobs. but mostly, you know, getting involved in gridlock and not having that laser-like focus you need for a solution. gregg: have the president's policies led to a growing attraction not to work for a great many americans? you mentioned food stamps, snap cards, disability, unemployment checks, public housing. the cato institute did a study

that said the full plate of welfare benefits right now pays more than $12 per hour in half the state. sitting on the couch eating bone bones is more financially lucrative. >> yeah. and i think obviously that came up in the presidential campaign and, you know, mitt romney was thoroughly attacked for it. there is a dependency curve that's gone up in a bad economy. more people are dependent on government, more people oppose the idea of cutting government spending or reforming, necessary reform to entitlement. it becomes a harder thing to sell because more people are reliant on those programs and more people are nervous and holding on to government programs. it even stifles attempts at real reform that would bring down the nation's debt that would save programs like social security, medicare and medicaid for the long run. it contributes to political climates that make it harder to do that. gregg: there was a silver lining, that the tarp program

has now netted taxpayers $28 billion in profit. that was passed by his predecessor. god to see you. thanks. >> good to see you. i'm glad you mentioned tarp. people forget about that. those companies did pay back with interest. gregg: they did. $28 billion profit for taxpayers. thanks. >> thank you. jenna: we're going to turn to overseas news next. we may have negotiated some sort of deal with the al-assad regime and russia and the chemical weapons. syria's military is continuing to get special training outside their country. they are the ones that are fighting in syria's civil war, the main actor and why it matters coming up. prince harry is known as a cool guy around town but he was really chilling out last night. why the british prince spent the night in a freezer.

gregg: prince harry is probably thawing out right about now after the british royal spent the night in a giant freezer, all part of a training exercise to help him prepare for his upcoming trip to the south pole. he's set to walk 200 miles with injured british servicemen and women. prince harry is a long time supporter of the walking with the wounded charity and he is set to begin the south pole challenge with them in late november. jenna: a great cause. i'll bet vegas looks good about now for harry. just saying. we'll turn to more serious matters now. the u.s. just backed way from the brink of military action against syria as the civil wore continues in that region. syria is accusing turkey of inciting violence. turkey is our ally and apparently downed one of syria's helicopters. it appears the al-assad regime is getting help. the conflict extending intu the

30th month now. more than 100,000 people killed since it began and now a brand new report reveals in recent weeks, bus loads of militia men from iraq and syria and other nags arrived at an iranian military base just miles outside tehran to train with these men, the iranian revolutionary guard. their mission, to fortify the al-assad regime against attacks from rebel groups backed by the united states and israel. syria and iran have always been allies. it wasn't as big in the beginning but apparent it will has certainly picked up the last year and that aid from iran is helping al-assad stay in power. we have the vice president of the american foreign policy council. nice to have you back on the program. >> great to be here. jenna: we're also hearing at the same time there may be some new efforts to negotiate with iran about their nuclear program.

so how do we do that? in the meantime, iran is directly working against us in syria. how do we address that? >> well, i think that's a great question because 10 years ago, 15 years ago our iran policy encapsulated all of these things. it was a policy that tried to prevent iran from acquiring weapons of mass destruction and at the same time preventing iran from instability in the region. over the last few years we've disaggregated those ideas. right now there's a big push being aided and abetted by the iranians themselves to negotiate, to engage the way the white house has always wanted to do but at the same time, iranians are hoping with the instability in syria and other places in a very active way. so it requires us turning a blind eye to what they're doing in syria in order to negotiate with them on the nuclear program. jenna: it seems they're doing this fairly blatantly in the "wall street journal," although iran denies this.

it's pretty -- the report is very specific about how much they're going in and how much they're training the militia men in syria. again, we look at syria itself. should we -- how do we counter the forces from the revolutionary guard? how much of a factor is that in whether or not they're successful ultimately in the policy in the middle east? >> it's a huge problem and huge factor in how we measure success in syria. i think it's useful to understand that syria is iran's staunchest ally in the region. it is really bowl work against western power in the middle east and how we react to syria, whether it's through engagement, whether it's by allowing al-assad to stay in power or by supporting the opposition really sets the tone for how we treat iran. president obama has -- understands this problem so he spent a lot of time over the last several days making clear to the iranians or attempting to

that what you're seeing, this walk away from military action in syria shouldn't give the iranians any comfort, that we're still syria. jenna: do you think iran believes that given that they continue to support syria in such a blatant way? do you think they fear the president, that they fear military intervention by the united states? >> no. that was exactly my point which is that the president would like to disaggregate the two, to talk about syria but maintain a stern face with the iranians but i think the iranians are getting a lot of cues with how we walked away from decisive action from syria. jenna: but to send the message to iran would not be an excuse for military intervention in syria, right? that sometimes gets confused about, now, if we went in there, then we're really going to send a message to iran and some would suggest if you're going to send a message to iran, do it directly.

is it a good idea for the president to sit down with the iranian president next week, the first meeting since 1979 between the two countries? >> look. there's always a triumph of hope over experience but experience teaches us that the iranian president, whether it's the current president or his predecessor, they're simply political place fillers. they can fiddle around the edges of iranian politics but the guy really in charge and iran's supreme leader and he's committed to supporting the regime in syria. jenna: complicated relationships in the region. i know you just wrote a big book about russia so we appreciate the insights in iran and look forward to hearing more about russia and thank you for joining us today. >> happy to do it. thanks. gregg: a state under siege from a devastating flood, the desperate search for hundreds of folks trapped by raging waters and when colorado can expect some relief from the weather. the shooting massacre in the

navy yard. how he may have fallen through the cracks of our security system to get access to such an important military installation. will there be lawsuits? legal panel weighs in.

attack. 12 men and women gunned down as they reported for work yesterday morning and just within the last hour, we learned the names of all the victims. mike is live in washington with that part of the story. >> we're getting a better sense of the lives lost yesterday at the navy yard. many described as loving parents, hard workers and delightful neighbors. newest names released are arthur daniels of washington, d.c. who was 51, mary knight of western virginia, also 51, gerald reed of alexandria, virginia, age 58, martin bodrog who was 54. another was arthur daniels who was 51 years old and a grandfather of nine. he installed office furniture in federal government buildings and a witness says was shot in the back. his family is heart broken. >> all he did was went to work.

that's all. that man didn't have to shoot my husband. i love my husband. >> i'll never forgive him. >> two required surgery and their conditions are proving and the third person was a young woman shot in the head and the hand and miraculously did not need surgery. >> she's feeling quite well and doing well. she wants to go home and she wants to, quite frankly, start to begin to put some of this behind her but it will take a long time. >> of those survivors, a doctor sounded most concerned about a police officer in his late 40's or 50's. he suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the legs, damaging both bones and blood vessels but the doctor says they're pleased with how he's doing and he's expected to make a good recovery. jenna: we wish them all well and our thoughts and prayers are

with those that lost loved ones. gregg: we're learning more about the navy yard gunman's past, his brushes with the law and there were many of them. his reported treatment as well for serious mental illness. in may of 2004, seattle police arrested alexis for shooting out the tires of a parked car in what was described as an angered, fuelled blackout. in august 2008, alexis was arrested for disorderly conduct in georgia. then september of 2010, he was arrested for firing a gun through his apartment ceiling and law enforcement officials are telling the associated press that he was being treated for serious mental illness, including hearing voices in his head in the weeks before the shooting. so based on these revelations, how in the world did this guy get security clearance to that sprawling navy facility known for its layer upon layer of

security? lis, there were so many red flags here. it makes you wonder whether the security background check was wreckless or negligent. >> both, probably, gregg. you have four million people on the independent contractors getting security clearances. what that means is there's a paperwork kind of thing where they're shoved through some paperwork, they're retired agents and i know this from firsthand experience, they go out and do a background check, up the background either five or 10 years. that's a long time in the middle there that they're not doing anything. this guy got lost in between the cracks and therefore, we have this horrible, horrible tragedy. gregg: based on the fiprelimina information, this guy had several arrests but no convictions and that's important because a whole lot of states have passed laws that say an employer can only consider convictions and not arrests.

>> well, yeah. i mean, look. it's a constitutional principle on one that caused a horrific tragedy. in other words, theoretically if they haven't been convicted, you've only been charged with an offense and therefore, it doesn't matter but in the context of background checks, it should matter because here in 2004, gregg, and then in 2010, the man charged a firearm. those facts are the facts regardless of whether or not he was convicted in court and from the standpoint of security, should have been considered. gregg: the law is increasingly protecting people who have been arrested and, in fact, including those that have been convicted. i'll tell you why. the eeoc, equal employment opportunity commission has issued a ruling that says it's racial discrimination for an employer to undertake a blanket policy to exclude people who have committed crimes because it

disproportionately reflects african-americans and latinos. that's a federal agency. >> i disagree with that federal agency. i'm sorry. when you go through, when you're either a federal employee or an independent contract and frankly, gregg, they should be held to the same level. when i went through high security, they interviewed my kindergarten teachers for goodness sake. they interviewed anybody that could be found. why? is there a way that the government is going to come after you? blackmail you? have you got something in the past they could bring out against you? that makes sense when you're talking about a high security clearance. i disagree with eeoc on this one. gregg: doug, 12 people are dead tragically and so many others wounded as well but i do envision some lawsuits here, maybe against the government under the federal tort claims act but particularly against the outsourced clearance check to a company so they don't have immunity as the government does

and huewlett packard was the su contractor, a deep pocket. >> that was a critical point when i learned this morning they had outsourced it to a private entity. i think you could certainly conceive of a negligence theory. gregg: wrongful death. >> they need to make sure the person would be adequately vetted and the security would be adequately done. the counter argument, particularly with respect to the way insurance might play through it is intentional criminal conduct makes it more difficult. >> you're talking about criminal talking negligence. they don't have to show inthey e negligent. gregg: good to see you both. thank you. jenna: it's the beginning of a lot of conversations when it comes to the legal aspects of this story. we have much more on the shooting rampage as we learn and gregg just mentioned this, there's a lot of conflicting reports about the gunman's mental health issues and who knew what when and what all that

jenna: chilling new information about the man police identified as the navy yard shooter and reports suggest that aaron alexis suffered from a host of mental health problems. this is not confirmed at this time but here's what we're hearing. some of what we're hearing is that he had mar noi -- paranoia, hearing voices in his head. this as police records show he had two gun related brushes with the law. for more on alexis' mental state, what does this mean, we bring in a forensic psychiatrist that we've had on the program many times. nice to see you again. >> thank you. glad to be here. jenna: just because someone is mentally ill and again, we don't actually know his official diagnosis at this time, it doesn't mean necessarily that they would be violent or start

killing people. can you tell us a little bit about how we should even think about the mental health question just a day after this attack? >> well, the fact is that only a very small percentage of people with mental illness have an increased risk of violence. mental illness overall does not increase the risk of violence. in fact, substance abuse disorder such as alcohol and drugs increase the risk much more dramatically but there are certain people with skrits fren a and bi polar who have a slightly increased risk of violence. jenna: when we look at other mass shootings and we've had quite a few the last few years, there seems to be a profile that emerges for that individual and in some cases, this particular incident, it doesn't follow that same profile of a young man, caucasi caucasian, in his early 20's. this man is in -- almost his mid 30's, 34. how is the age factor something

we should consider? >> you know, it's just one of many factors. only one -- less than 1% of homicides are mass shootings and they still remain relatively rare events despite as much media coverage as they get. there's so many factors that go into this. it's very hard to predict with any reliability that these events are going to occur because they are rare events. jenna: what questions do you have today, doctor? not having any sort of evidence as a mental health question, where would you be asking for more information? how will we actually find out what this man suffered from, if anything? >> well, the initial reports suggest he had some paranoia and command auditory hallucinations or voices in his head and those are certainly occasions of violence. it begs the question how this individual was able to have access to firearms.

jenna: how would we navigate that as individuals, tr? according to his friends, many in texas, they didn't have an inclination that he would have the capacity to carry out this sort of crime so whenever these sort of situations arise, we ask ourselves those questions. you know, what would we do in that situation? how would we even talk to? someone said that they were experiencing anger management issues or heard voices in their head. what should we do? >> well, it always comes down to balancing privacy with public safety and i think we med to really start taking a hard look at people we see around us displaying these types of symptoms and maybe they need to be brought to the public's attention. we want to protect our civil rights but we also have to protect public safety so people need to speak up, including mental health clinicians when they feel that people will be a threat around them. jenna: it will be interesting to hear if any doctors were

treating this man and what their assessment was. thank you for your time today. >> thank you. take care. gregg: what celebrity you should probably never search for online. an internet trap that could cost you plenty. we'll explain it. plus eight people dead, hundreds still unaccounted for after what some are calling historic flooding slamming parts of colorado. will mother nature help out the rescuers there? janice dean will be here with the answer. we need a new recipe. hmmm. let us consult the scroll of infinite deliciousness. ♪ oh! perfect.

gregg: extreme weather alert, clearing skies helping to dry up some flood waters in colorado allowing air rescue crews to intensify their search for the nearly 200 people still unaccounted for in boulder.

more than 400 have been flown to safety so far. the death toll rising overnight to eight. a bit earlier this hour, officials gave an update in fort collins. >> the sunshine is exactly what we need. it's drying things out. the waters are coming down. so those aircraft, as you know, just continue to fly. actually, to the point that the issue they have now is saturation of the air space. there's only so much with one landing zone and all the aircraft that you can safely put up so we're not in a point of saying we need more aircraft. they're balancing what's out there to keep them flying safely up there. gregg: right now there's a briefing taking place in boulder. we're going to take a look at the weather ahead. janice dean is in the fox weather center. hey, j.d. >> it's nice to see the sunny skies across colorado and that's going to be the case certainly for much of the work week. you can see on the satellite radar imagery the last 24 hours, skies have cleared in and around

the denver and boulder area. we have this drier pattern northwesterly winds are going to block some of this tropical moisture that's coming up from the gulf. that's great news. however, we do have a cold front that's going to move in tomorrow bringing the potential for some showers and not a deluge of rain but certainly could have the threat of some showers, maybe a thunderstorm for tomorrow. the rest of the work week looks really good, though. drying periods for thursday, friday, saturday, even into the weekend so that is great news. and we were talking about that tropical moisture. we had two systems making landfall over mexico. this could be potentially deadly for this region where they could get over two feet of rain. again, some of that moisture working into south texas. they need the moisture but of course, flash flooding could be a threat. so just a quick look at temperatures today, warm across the south and it is feeling like fall across the great lakes, midwest and the northeast. back to you, gregg. gregg: a little chilly this morning. i forgot my jacket.

>> you didn't call me. i would have told you to wear the jacket. gregg: you should send me a bulletin, let me know these things. >> fair enough. will do. jenna: so many stories in the colorado flooding situation in general and we have one just to share with you so you can see the impact of the floods and how they affected one family owned business. estes park has a long running camp for leadership. take a look at these before and after comparisons. the camp's horse rafnch looking like it's completely overflowed with water. the entrance to the camp is still standing but the dirt road looks like a flowing river into it and crews are just in the process of trying to rebuild it. they've already started doing that. take a look at the camp's museum. it remained untouched for the most part but that used to be a brook running by it and now it's turned into a river and also a water fall. we're told that no structures have been destroyed at the main camp but certainly they have a lot of work ahead. we'll be right back with more
