afghanistan that killed six u.s. service members and five native contractors. >> also hurricane joaquin lashing the bahamas with torrential wind, rain and storm surges. now it could be strengthening before hitting the east coast. "fox and friends" starts now. bye. good morning to you. today is friday, october 2nd. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. brand new from overnight. our first look at the gunman and his sinister plot to murder christians. what he said before he started killing. extreme weather alert. a state of emergency declared along portions of the east coast as you can see right there. americans are on high alert as hurricane joaquin, now a category 4 is straight over the atlantic. we're live along the shore with what is happening right now. then, a c-130 aircraft goes down in afghanistan killing 12,

including 6 american servicemen. now the taliban claims they shot it out of the sky. the latest on this breaking story and what is actually happening in afghanistan. mornings are better with friends. we're getting right to that fox news alert for you now. horror on campus. ten people, including the gunman, are dead after a massacre at a community college in oregon. seven are injured. >> the gunman has been identified as 26-year-old chris harper mercer. we're learning some disturbing details about why he may have carried out the murders. >> we're live in rows burglary oregon with the developments. william? >> reporter: good morning, you guys. you said mercer shot and killed

several. it began yesterday morning when the 26-year-old walked into a creative writing class and opened fire shooting professor first. he had three hand guns and a rifle. here's what one witness heard her teacher say. >> look on her face was horrifying. that's when i knew something was wrong. she looked at us. it was -- i don't know. it's hard to explain. when she looked at us, she said we have to get out now. one of my other classmates jumped up and said everybody out, let's go. we immediately began running. >> about 13,000 students attend this two-year college a few hours south of portland. about 3,000 are full-time and only have one security guard, who does not carry a gun but a can of mace. students were patted down. several remained in hiding for hours until they were put on buses and sent to the fairgrounds to be reunited with

family there. now mercer grew up in southern california. he was described as eye quiet kid by neighbors. rode a red bike, wore camouflage pants, black boots and he often carried a gun case. apparently, he liked target shooting. why exactly he did this we're not entirely sure. more should come out as they look into social media. they did a search warrant on his home. he told the students to lie down and stand up if they were christian according to one witness in the classroom. that they would go see god and then he shot them. there were apparently about 35 students in snyder hall. but police responded within eight minutes. unlike columbine when they waited for s.w.a.t. teams. these officers went in and immediately killed him. according to one, that student tried to keep mercer from entering another classroom. >> tried to block the door to keep the gunman from coming in.

he was shot three times, hits the floor, looked at the gunman and said it's my son's birthday today. shot two more times. >> he's going to have to learn to walk again. he walked away with his life. that's more than so many other people did. >> this is the deadliest mass shooting in oregon history. the coroner is handling the identification and will do next of kin before the names of the dead are released. three remain in critical condition and at this point in time, the school remains closed until monday. it's going to be difficult for some of these students to come back to class. >> of course. when you look at the online trail that they are investigating now, recently downloaded bbc documentary of the sandy hook shootings. the shooter had done recently shared his admiration for the shooter in virginia. advice fehr flanagan in a blog posted, on an interesting note, so many like him are unknown and

alone. a man known by no one is now known by everyone. >> that's why the sheriff says don't use his name. whatever you do, i'm not using his name. we shouldn't. >> as much as we can, we're going to refer to the guy as the shooter. but at this point, there's no motive. you've got to wonder, we've got dr. michael well ner coming up in a moment. why did he inquire of the kids before he started killing them whether or not they were christian. did he really have -- was he anti-christian or was it simply -- this goes back to the he admires the shooter of the roanoke tv crew. was he simply looking for publicity? he knew that if that got out, it would grab all the headlines. it certainly has. we're going to talk a little bit about that. but first, you saw the president of the united states, he went to the podium in the press room in the white house, made a speech after a mass shooting. the president did not wait for

the facts. we did not know whether or not the shooter passed the background check. if he got the guns legally. did he use an assault weapon. we didn't know any of that. yet, the president of the united states chose that moment before we knew the details to politicize it. listen to this. >> somehow this has become routine. the reporting is routine. my response here at this podium ends up being routine. the conversation in the aftermath of it. we've become numb to this. what's become routine, of course, is the response of those who oppose any kind of common sense gun legislation. right now, i can imagine the press releases being cranked out. we need more guns they'll argue.

fewer gun safety laws. does anybody really believe that? and, of course, what's also routine is that somebody somewhere will comment and say, obama politicized this issue. well, this is something we should politicize. >> he spoke from the heart, obviously. he was obviously motivated. this is his point of view, always has been. it amazes me he talks about it as if the investigation has been going on for two weeks. >> the courage of the two police officers who went in. blue lives matter. >> alex scar lot a, one of the heroes on the train, he's on "dancing with the stars" or else he would have been on that

campus at that time and would have been in the middle of this. he called -- a lot of these guys are his friends. >> there's one single unarmed security guard at the time. the sheriff in oregon said this. in 2013, he actually wrote a blog post about the second amendment. this is the sheriff right now in the center of yesterday's tragedy. this is his letter to joe biden after sandy hook. it says, gun control is not the answer to preventing heinous crimes like school shootings. period. >> see, again, he's in the view of the sheriff says this is what we know. this is what my officers did. don't use his name. we don't want to make them famous. >> he felt that's what this particular shooter wanted. >> they're also investigating right now anonymous blog chain from four chan. one of the worst out there online where they're paralleling some anonymous messages that

appear to include someone with a similar intention of yesterday's unnamed shooter and had a photo of a frog with a gun as a little icon avatar there. >> people do -- >> they're actually looking into that anonymous blog post. >> to see if it's the same guy? >> to see if it's linked. >> we don't have the link to the christian. be curious what your doctor -- >> a lot of stuff in his profile that doesn't fit his profile. was he doing it for publicity? we'll tell you what we know. in the meantime, this. now, on to extreme weather right now. tracking hurricane joaquin. it is now a category 4 storm battering the bahamas with torrential wind, rain and flooding. >> is it coming here? it could strengthen before heading north this weekend and earlier next week. we have multiple models. >> we have team coverage with

maria molina in the weather center and anna kooiman in the heights. >> you know what, the bahamas have been dealing with hurricane conditions for more than 24 hours. a very powerful storm and extremely dangerous, category hurricane 4. owe tensionally it will produce as much as 25 inches of rain. it's going to continue to impact the area throughout the morning and into early this afternoon. this is going to continue out here, very devastating across the central bahamas. a huge concern. still moving slowly at 3 miles per hour. it has started that turn towards the north. eventually, we'll see conditions begin to improve into tonight and also into saturday across the bahamas. tough to deal with that storm for that long across the islands. computer models coming into better agreement. there's a consensus that the storm should stay away from the eastern u.s. the hurricane center increasing

the confidence that that will be happening. the forecast cone has been shifted off to the east. that said, there will be impacts across the eastern u.s. with coastal flooding possible. warnings and advisories in effect. beach erosion another concern. because there's so much tropical moisture and across the eastern u.s., we're looking at a potentially his torque flooding event across the carolinas. some models producing more than a foot of rain across north carolina. we already have flooding ongoing from rain earlier this week. this will be something to watch this weekend. over to you. >> all right, anna. >> anna is coming up. >> she's next. the governor chris christie giving a state of emergency. >> anna kooiman is live in seaside heights where residents are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. >> reporter: we've been talking to residents here, steve and

they say they're feeling anxiety after what they went through from superstorm sandy. the crews are readying seaside heights. we spoke to this tractor operator. he's raking for glass and nails, any debris. there are fears of erosion, coastal flooding and storm surges. if you remember three years ago, the images seared in your mind of the roller coaster being swallowed up by the ocean. a lesson learned for local leaders. new jersey governor chris christie is declaring a state of emergency in new jersey. also canceling his campaign event in new hampshire. listen. >> i signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency in new jersey. we are not quite yet sure about whether this is going to be a single punch or a double punch. >> reporter: residents are building their homes, rebuilding them stronger, sturdier and up

high on stilts. they're concerned with this threat of severe weather that they will miss out on the progress that they've already made. back to you. anna kooiman down the shore with us this morning. meanwhile, one more breaking story to tell you about this morning. the taliban claims their rocket brought down a plane in afghanistan. the c-130j was approaching the jalalabad airport. it crashed. there is no evidence of hostile taliban fire even though taliban says that was ours. >> it was off twitter. coming up in our shou show, a lot -- we have 300,000 -- we have a lot going on today. including a story about a $300,000 bonus for doing your job. the government has a job for you too. to get that bonus, the shocking ways the irs is using your tax

fox news alert. overnight police cop firmed the name of the murderer in that

oregon college massacre. 26-year-old chris harper mercer. a man who apparentlyespised organized religion and worshipped other mass shooters. here to take us inside the mind of this madman is psychiatrist dr. mike well wellner. as you covered this, apparently he said who is christian. oh, you're christian. you're about to see god in one second. then he killed people. what does that say about this guy? >> what's emerging about mass killing and why it happens again and again is that there's a familiar pattern of someone who recognizes from watching others that they are going to be made larger than life and they're going to be portrayed in a way that they can actually control by doing something extreme, violent and outrageous. it converges with someone who has a very poor sense of who he is as a man and recognizing that

he's a failure as an individual and understanding that he can go from being a nobody to a hyper celebrity overnight simply by body count or by doing the outrageous. think about it. say i'm going to target somebody because of their religion. i'm going to kill somebody and saying pray, because you're about to meet your maker or whatever he actually said. one would think people would be outraged just as folks killing on live television. the killer -- >> somebody who he has referred to as somebody he admired. >> that's right. what he admired, he admired what he was able to achieve. mass shooters or mass killers, because it's not all about the shooting. he admired isla vista. he admired to get the attention from killing alone. that's what stages, hey what, can i do that's outrageous, where can i target where people

are defenseless and won't stop me from killing as many people as i can get away with. >> that could be why he downloaded the documentary on sandy hook three days earlier. you're suggesting he wasn't anti-kri christian was out for a big body count to get on the news. >> one of big myths about mass killing, when somebody like bill and ruth was responsible for charleston, they think they're an ingrained -- or an drez breivik. no. it starts with a desire to kill because one recognizes one will be larger than life. at some point an aspiring killer has to get over the threshold of realizing you're not supposed to do it and they take on an ideology that justifies it or panders to constituent si. it's as fake as his dating profile, which is why we

shouldn't show his picture. because it's how he wants to be seen and we end up getting manipulated. >> oh, man. fascinating. but sick. doctor, thank you very much. >> deviant. not sick. deviant. >> doctor, thank you very much. we'll be right back. you fifteen percent or more on huh, fiftcar insurance.uld save yeah, everybody knows that. well, did you know that playing cards with kenny rogers gets old pretty fast? ♪ you got to know when to hold'em. ♪ ♪ know when to fold 'em. ♪ know when to walk away.

slaughter yesterday and her e-mail was nudging hillary clinton to write a post saying, this system is too old. as a state department official shouldn't hillary clinton have forfeited convenience. we can walk through the airport security, it takes too long, it's inefficient, it's uncomfortable. but for the purpose of national security we do it. shouldn't she have done what's best and not chosen her home server? >> of course. she's a leader. she didn't follow the protocol. i was in the justice department i handled sensitive classified information. in my current job, i have a classified room. my guess is because you're compromising national security. i put that on my personal e-mail, that can be compromised by the chinese state sponsors. the fact of the matter is, i think she was trying to get around the freedom of information act which is why she had this private server that

would not be subject to that request. >> maybe if we're able to find the deleted e-mails, maybe that's included in there. the fbi director finally said listen, we're doing an investigation on her. where do you expect it to go? >> i have a lot of respect for the director of the fbi. he's going to head up a very fair and impartial investigation into the matter. i think these are very serious allegations. i think he'll do the right job. >> you have a serious book. your final report on the task force on combatting -- you take this as personal as any american could. what makes you so -- >> because we're losing. there have been 30,000 foreign fighters from 100 different countries, 5,000 with passports in western europe that could come into the united states. hundreds of americans, 250 that have traveled to the region. as many as 50 have come back into the united states. each one of them ticking time

bombs. those are just the ones we know about. we don't have good human intelligence in syria. these are lowball estimates. not to mention the radicalization over the internet that's taking place to attack military installations. >> what's most concerning, you don't feel we're talking to each other the way we should. the different departments and agencies. how could that be after all these years of 9/11? >> the security gaps in europe are real. we're not sharing the information properly. europe is really wide open to the syrian refugee crisis, to -- so they can freely travel from istanbul, turkey into europe without any screening whatsoever. this is a real clear and present danger i think for the united states. >> dangerous it seems. >> not to mention russia now invading -- coming into syria. that really complicates the entire situation in terms of eliminating the threat where it

exists. >> exactly. not fearful of us and any reprisa reprisals. always good to see you. chairman of homeland security, mike mccall. >> great to see you. thanks a lot. hurricane joaquin is on the move and we better have an idea where it's headed. we'll tell you where maria molina is tracking that storm for you. >> not exactly average sports fans but it's the announcers under fire for mocking them for not paying attention to the game. but first, we want to wish a happy birthday to sting. he's 64 years old today. and elisabeth thinks he's very sexy. how do you stay

changing the world. here we go. back to the extreme weather and a closer look at hurricane joaquin. this is long beach on long island. folks are preparing for rain, wind and potential flooding as the storm moves north. >> here now in alexandria, virginia, they're lining up sandbags to ward off the potential flood warters. virginia is under a weather emergency. maria is tracking the storm for you. >> that's right. we're tracking hurricane joaquin. currently a category 4 hurricane with max 34u78 sustained winds at 130 miles per hour. we have a day at the bahamas or the central bahamas have been dealing with this extremely dangerous hurricane. finally the storm has started to move northward but it's a slow mover.

it's 3 miles per hour. the hurricane conditions and life-threatening conditions will continue throughout the morning and into early this afternoon before eventually the storm begins to pull away from the bahamas as we head into this weekend. the forecast track has been updated. it's been moved east of u.s. we're not really anticipating a u.s. landfall. everyone across the eastern u.s., you need to continue to monitor the storm track. computer models have come into better agreement that this is what's occurring with the storm turning back out to sea. that's welcome news. we're still going to be dealing with impacts though across the eastern u.s. one of those impacts is a possibility for some significant flash flooding across the carolinas. the reason for that is we have a lot of tropical moisture fed into the carolinas this weekend and some areas could see possibly more than a foot of rain. the ground out there already saturated because we saw a lot of heavy rain throughout most of this week. as we head farther north, beach erosion and coastal flooding is a concern along with gusty winds

throughout the weekend. we have warnings and advisories across the mid-atlantic and up into new england. back over to you. >> maria, thank you very much. the rain happening right now? not really. fox news alert. we're learning more about perhaps motive of that oregon shooter who murdered nine people and injured seven others before he was killed by police. specifically, his apparent hatred for christians. making them stand up in the classroom so he could shoot them in the head. >> horrific new details about how this played out coming from eyewitnesses who somehow made it out of that situation alive. we have david from the rosenberg beacon newspaper. he joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> david, first off, as we're getting this firsthand account, it seems like this guy wanted to be famous. he wanted to be hailed. he looked at other mass

murderers and said that could be me. you get that sense, too? >> well, that's what we're hearing from the eyewitness accounts that have come back to us. and it's just unimaginable out here in rows berg to be going through this. really no to explain how this happened. >> we know one witness said the granddaughter of a witness said they were asked to stand up if they were -- asked if they were christian. if yes, they were shot in the head, if no, they were shot in the leg. her grandmother arrived to her house and gave us the account. of course, very upset there. this shooter thought he was the gatekeeper of heaven somehow. did this outrageous move to take life from this earth. when you see this, do you directly relate it to a hatred of established religion?

>> well, you know, i don't have access to what was going through that shooter's mind. look at the facebook and myspace posts that we've uncovered, i think he was not only very disturbed but there's some question whether or not he has some affiliation with the muslim faith. >> really? in what way did you see linkage there or to what social media outlet? >> well, there was apparently a myspace or facebook, i don't recall which, posting in which one of his very few contacts was a person of muslim origin and the person that posted this indicated that they thought that was proof that he was connected. we don't have any proof of that. i'm just sharing anecdotal stories that have come into us. you have to realize this information was really late in the day. we started on the scene yesterday morning first thing. it wasn't until probably, i'd say, 7:00 or 8:00 p.m. last night that the name of the shooter even became known.

>> there are so many stories as well, david, going around about people who survived by playing dead and things like that. there's the story of a 30-year-old army vet by the name of chris mint. he a joined the army after high school then going to community college. he charged this guy, right, even though he was shot five times? >> correct. we had reports that he was killed. that is not true. chris mince is recovering. he's expected -- he was shot five times, shot in the hand, in both legs and physicians apparently commented he may have difficulty walking at first but they expect him to recover. we're grateful and what a heroic act on his part. >> of course. >> talk about heroic, what about the officers. the way i understand it, unless you can shed additional light on it, these two officers without backup went crashing in there. the shooting started at 10:36. what is your best estimate of

when the officers arrived on the scene and is it true that some of them absorbed shots into their vests? >> well, i haven't heard that account. but the best information that we have, i would say the first responders were on the scene within three to four minutes of the 911 call. the sheriffs deputies were there. we had one student leaving the campus that saw them crouch down behind some vehicles in the parking area. they exchanged fire, presumably with the gunman obviously. i don't know about the rushing of the building. i haven't talked to those officers yet at this time. >> what a day you had yesterday. we appreciate you getting up so early today. david jakes, the publisher of the roseberg beacon. thank you for joining us. >> thank you david. >> thank you. 20 minutes before the top of the hour. heather has got some new developments. >> we have other stories that we are following for you. quickly here, some brand new developments in the shooting death of that illinois police

officer that sparked a massive multistate manhunt. just last month. detectives now say that fox lake officer charles joseph gliniewicz was shot and killed by his own weapon and that there was gunpowder residue on both of his hands indicating that there may have been been a struggle with the suspect. officers spent weeks combing through that area looking for three male suspects. so far no arrests. isis now operating in israel. israeli intelligence officials just stopped the terror group's first attempted attack within the country. seven israeli arabs have been charged as the suspects allegedly spoke out. police forces, army bases and liquor stores. authorities say that they were planning and training for the attack for a year. and a class act all the way. jon bon jovi paying tribute to fallen new jersey high school football player evan murray the

watch this. >> and a reminder, and i know this whole conspiracy theory is out there, there are no limitations to this interview. you know. >> as far as i know. that's true. >> exactly, so let's get that out of the way. your campaign has attacked planned parenthood. but there is no tape. there is no evidence that the thing you describe in this -- are you willing now to concede that you exaggerated that scene? >> no. not at all. >> now, listen, this is nothing new. we know the conservatives are held to higher standards in the media. the problem is they did this face-to-face with each other. they put it in the shame show. at least they try to hide their bias on this. we knew the mainstream media was going to try to cover up hillary. they covered up everything else about her. with carly she might have one little thing but she's become the token choice for the pro-life movement and they are trying to destroy her based on everything going on on capitol hill. and they're winning to a certain extent. they don't even have to tell the

truth about the videos. they just have to say she might have gotten this little point wrong. >> what about this, scott pelley, condescending to trump smirking about his isis plan. >> assad and isis are mortal enemies. we go in to fight isis. why aren't we letting isis go and fight assad and then we pick up the remnants? why are we doing this? we're fighting isis, and assad has to be saying to himself, they have the nicest or dumbest people that i've ever met. >> let me get this right. so, we lay off isis for now? >> we -- >> lay off in syria, let them destroy assad. and then we go in behind that? >> that's what i would say. >> okay. >> yes, that's what i would say. >> well, listen, you want to make trump out to be kind of a laughingstock and he ended up being the joke. a lot of people feel the same way mr. trump does. these interviewers have to understand when they insult, they're insulting the people that believe it. a lot of people believe the way

mr. trump does. he received standing ovation when he talked about his plan with the refugees and what was going on with isis. >> do you believe scott pelley meant any harm right there? >> no, i don't. because i think the campaign and the staff, i was there, they were good friends. everybody was laughing. >> you were there? >> i was there -- when they were doing the package of it, and the groups got along very, very well. i think he was trying to kind of just make it more lighthearted than what it was. but i tell you, mr. trump gives us a lot of things to laugh about on purpose. this was not one of them and it's a very serious issue and you never sit there and try to laugh at somebody about policy because you insult your audience. that's never the goal of any interview >> scottie nell hughes, always good to see you here >> thank you. >> back to our top story here. could anything have been done to prevent the horrible mass shooting in oregon? rudely july nanny has strong opinions on gooun gun violence. he joins us live in the next hour. oals is to visualize them. then, let the principal help you get there.

good morning to you. today is friday, october 2nd, i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. brand-new developments overnight on the oregon college massacre. our first look at the gunman and his sinister plot to murder christians. what the shooter said right before he started killing. >> all right. another huge story. extreme weather alert. you got a state of emergency along the east coast. americans high alert. and we now know more about whether hurricane joaquin will hit the coast and maybe your house. we are live along the shore with what's happening right now. and how much do your kids know about people who want to be president? >> who is this guy? do you know who he is? >> george clooney. >> george clooney, no, guys, it's not george clooney. >> this proves i pay attention. >> we were just watching you. >> more hilarious responses straight ahead. live from new york city, this is "fox & friends" for a friday.

not a good time to be in the bahamas. >> a look at extreme weather now, brian, you're right tracking hurricane joaquin the category 4 storm battering the bahamas with torrential wind, rain and flooding. >> you know what? right now it's a cat4 but the storm could strengthen again before heading north to our east coast this weekend. and early next week, as well. >> so we're not going to let you down. we have live team coverage of the hurricane. we have maria molina in the weather center and anna kooiman in the elements seaside heights, new jersey. we began, anna, hold on for a second, let's go to maria. >> good morning you guys. hello everybody at home. we're tracking category 4 hurricane joaquin. across the bahamas. you shared that incredible video out of the islands. imagine having those conditions for a period of like 24 hours.

that's exactly what they're dealing with across the central bahamas, life-threatening conditions. up to 25 inches of rain forecast. that in combination with the very strong winds, and also dangerous storm surge is making conditions life threatening across the central bahamas. that turn towards the north has finally started. that's some welcome news out here. it's moving very slowly at 3 miles per hour. the national hurricane center shifting the track of the hurricane farther off toward the east. we're not really expecting a u.s. landfall. it's still important that residents across the east coast of the u.s. stay alert, and you're still going to be feeling the impacts from the storm, even though it's not going to be making landfall. we're expecting strong winds to continue throughout the weekend across parts of the eastern u.s. and also looking at the potential for beach erosion, coastal flooding, warnings and advisories are in effect from the mid-atlantic up into the northeast and across the carolinas, a lot of tropical moisture will produce close to a foot of rain, possibly even higher amounts, though we could be looking at dangerous flooding out there, as well. over to you.

>> a foot of rain in south carolina. all right, maria, thank you. >> that's right. not taking any chances in new jersey the governor there chris christie, presidential candidate for 2016 declaring a state of emergency as hurricane joaquin roars toward the jersey shore. >> on the jersey shore right now, "fox & friends" weekend co-host anna kooiman live in seaside heights. remember during superstorm sandy that is where the roller coaster was. anna? >> oh, absolutely. and that image is still seared in folks' minds. take a look at casino pier now. this is the progress that they've made so far. what's missing as you mentioned, steve, is that roller coaster. they are constructing that and hoping for it to be back in service in 2016. but crews have been readying the strond here in seaside heights. we spoke to a guy on a tractor earlier raking the sand for glass and debris, nails, things like that. i've also pushed up a lot of sand underneath the boardwalk. fears of erosion, storm surge and flooding. that first system maria was talking about is what we're feeling right now and it's kicked up this angry surf and

the wild winds. fortunately the rain has let up at the moment. but folks in this area are not taking any chances. neither is governor chris christie. he has declared a state of emergency and canceled all of his 2016 presidential campaign events in new hampshire. here's the governor. >> we are not quite yet sure about whether this is going to be a single punch or a double punch. now is the time for you to begin to prepare for hunkering down and dealing with the storms. >> and as folks are readying for the potential threat of hurricane joaquin and this first system, they're concerned that the progress they've made since superstorm sandy is going to be lost and be in the rear view mirror as they're building their homes up on stilts now, making them stronger, they're really concerned that some of the progress is going to be lost. listen. >> with all of the high rain that we're going to get, and the flooding that we're going to get, we're worried about the soil being soft, and the homes

falling over on the contributing. >> and in the mean time, elisabeth, brian and steve residents are stocking up on water, nonperishable foods, weather radios, batteries and making sure they have a source of medication and cash as instructed by emergency management. >> all right, anna, thank you very much. live report from seaside heights new injury spip a search for answers at the college massacre in oregon. ten people lost their lives including the shooter. seven others are injured. >> the gunman has been identified as 26-year-old chris harper mercer. disturbing details are emerging about why he may have carried out this rampage. we're live in oregon with new developments. good morning, william. this is awful. >> yeah, well, elisabeth, it could have been a lot worse. you know, this was the second day of class. this campus serves over 5,000 students. it is a gun-free zone. they have one security guard.

he does not carry a weapon but a can of mace. now there were 35 students inside snyder hall when harper mercer entered with three handguns and a rifle and opened fire. >> somebody is outside one of the doors shooting through the door. there is a female in the computer lab. we do have one female that has been shot at this time. he's exchanging gunshots right now with a male in the classroom on the southeast side of snyder hall. >> now the question, of course, is why. did mercer get a bad grade? did he have a score to settle? we don't know. according to the father of one witness who did survive, she said that he had asked people, the students, their religious affiliation, if they were christian. now we get conflicting reports if the answer actually mattered or if he just opened fire. here's one student and a teacher who heard the gunfire and ran for cover. >> -- that's when i knew that he

was gone, and -- i don't know. it's hard to explain. when she looked at us, she said we have to get out now. and one of my other classmates jumped up and said everybody out, come on, let's go, and we just immediately began running. >> now, eight minutes after that 911 call the first deputies arrived, and immediately confronted the gunman who died in a shoot-out with police. there've been no reports of a suicide. that has been the outcome in 29 of 152 school shootings since 1990. now mercer was raised in southern california. quiet kid. apparently liked target shooting. his parents divorced in 2005. he moved to oregon in 2013 with his mother. now, apparently, reporters caught up with the father and the step sister who both expressed shock. >> i'm shaking right now. i don't even know what to say. >> does this sound right to you? does this sound like

something -- >> no. it -- it -- it doesn't sound right. >> now we expect a search warrant to be performed at the house. we should learn more about the shooter. elisabeth, back to you. >> all right, thank you. >> you know it is clear from what we're reading that apparently this particular shooter admired the guy who murdered those people down in roanoke. and he admired the santa barbara -- he admired in roanoke with the shootings. and some other cases as well. he downloaded something regarding sandy hook. he was out for body count because he equated that with headlines and he would be more famous. so what we're going to do on this program is we're not going to mention the guy's name or show his picture aside from the news reporter segments. because the last thing we want to do is make him more famous. so you're not going to hear his name come out of these lips. >> some other guy in his basement --

>> yesterday president obama took to the microphone and didn't waste any time getting political about this, and gun control. >> each time this happens i'm going to bring this up. each time this happens, i'm going to say that we can actually do something about it, but we're going to have to change our laws. and this is not something i can do by myself. >> you know, and he went on to say that we need to politicize this shooting. and he did that, even though we didn't have any of the details. where did this guy get the guns? did he get them legally? things like that. bill o'reilly last night went rogue and unscripted and has a message for the president of the united states about his own hometown. look in the mirror, o'reilly says. watch this. >> since 2012, there have been 6,000 shootings, 6,000 shootings

in the city of chicago. there have been 1,679 murders. in the city of chicago. many of them exactly where you worked as a community organizer. so you know the problem that chicago has. and you also know, mr. president, that chicago has extremely stringent gun laws. in fact, chicago is confiscating guns, against the second amendment, until the court stopped that up. mr. president, have not made an issue of it at all. in fact, you don't even mention the carnage in chicago. you do mention the individuals, things like what happened in oregon. but chicago is like, doesn't exist, even though this is your turf. your hometown. you're the guy who was there. so i don't understand any of that. >> so bill o'reilly is making that just ad-libbing talking back to the president, because

he did his show live last night. one of the major other stories, the ironic stories, is alex scar lot to, you're going to see him on dancing with the stars. he's one of the heroes who stopped those trains in europe. he was supposed to be enrolled in school this year, because of his heroic actions and dancing with the stars, it changed. he said i would have been there if the train hadn't happened. i was enrolled in that class this fall. a lot of his veteran friends are on that campus. >> he actually took his classes in snyder hall, and would have been there had it not been him doing a promotional appearance on the "ellen" show. >> and the sheriff in oregon there actually saying in 2013, limiting access to guns is not the answer to preventing heinous crimes, like school shootings. they're in contrast to the president of the united states in a statement yesterday. >> you know, what has the president suggested regulationwise or lawwise that would have prevented what happened yesterday? we don't -- look the president is talking about we need to

politicize this, and yet when he made his statements, we had none of the details. we got a few but we still don't have -- he didn't have them >> 11 minutes after the hour. >> you just heard the president politicize this school shooting. up next, rudy giuliani wants to weigh in on that. come on in, mayor, you're coming up next. >> america's mayor. and current new york city mayor trying to take a crack at donald trump's iconic head wear. but it may land him in some legal trouble! who's going to get the last laugh? we're going to tell you ahead. >> make america fair again? oh. to folks out there whose diabetic nerve pain...

another fox news alert. the taliban now claiming its rocket brought down our military plane in afghanistan, killing 11 americans. excuse me 11 people, including 6 u.s. service members. the c-130j was approaching jalalabad airport just 80 miles from kabul before crashing to the ground, killing the airmen along with the five nato contractors. nato says there's no evidence of hostile taliban fire. here to react, former mayor of new york city who is an expert on the war on terror and what's happening in afghanistan. mayor rudy giuliani. >> this is part of what you have to expect with the withdrawal we've been doing in afghanistan

with the timetable that the president puts on military action. feinting in iraq, of course, we've turned iraq over to iran and now we're back almost where we started in afghanistan. we've got the taliban under control. and by putting a timetable on our withdrawal, having our forces down to 10,000, which, in a way, is extremely dangerous because that's really not enough. even to defend yourself. >> mr. mayor, as we watch iraq collapse do you really think this president would pull out so we could say i ended two wars before i left and allow this to do that, as well? >> it's absurd to end wars when they haven't ended the war with you. it's fine for the president to say we're going to end the war. but the other side is still at war with us. >> right. >> so the president really doesn't have the option of ending this war. >> the president spoke yesterday, 6:15, and he came out emotional about gun control and the u.s. and the horrific shooting in oregon. listen.

>> i can imagine the press release is being cranked out. we need more guns, they'll argue. fewer gun safety laws. does anybody really believe that? >> i ask you that question, does anyone really believe that? >> well, i think the president has very little knowledge of what causes crime or how you reduce crime. and the reality is, gun control laws control the behavior of legitimate people. people who rob stores, people who rob banks, and people who are insane and want to go ahead and murder don't follow the gun control laws. you and i follow them. so it controls the behavior of people who can be regulated. take new york and chicago. >> okay, go. >> chicago has 2.5 times the murders of new york. >> yep. >> same gun control laws. why? because in new york, at least up until now, there was a much more aggressive stop and frisk

policy. >> right >> which meant we took the guns. >> so you know what the president brought up. look at australia, look at britain, they're like us, they don't have the gun problems that we do. >> oh, they certainly have significant crime problems. and they have murder problems. and we've had mass murders in denmark where they have very strict, almost -- very strict gun laws almost nonexistent guns. >> you're an expert on crime. other countries come to get advice from you and your company. if i told you he walks in with four guns in other countries he wouldn't be able to get those four guns, what do you tell me? >> there are very strict countries where you can't get guns nowadays. you can get guns all over. the reality is it's bet haf yore of people, it's not the guns -- go to south america you've got a heck of a lot more murders than you do in the united states. so the question is not gun control with regard to reducing crimes. gun control is sensible. that people, you know, not have committed crimes, not have a mental -- >> background checks.

>> certainly are competent. but that's not going to significantly reduce crime. what's going to reduce crime is arresting people, stopping them, frisking them. you've got to take the guns away from the bad guys. >> and the bad guys -- >> don't go walk into an office and register. >> got you. got you. mr. mayor, wish it was under better circumstances. i wanted to talk politics and talk about that horse race. >> it's horrible. it's horrible. >> mr. mayor, thanks so much. ten minutes before the bottom of the hour. the pope speaking out about the meeting with that clerk kim davis. what he just said might surprise you. and the word hell is okay. but god, not so much. on college plaques, your e-mails are pouring in on this. how do you feel about it? you wouldn't order szechuan without checking the spice level. it really opens the passages. waiter. water. so why would you invest without checking brokercheck? check your broker with brokercheck.

we have got some quick headlines. we start with the vatican. the vatican now distancing itself this morning from kentucky county clerk kim davis. this after reports surfaced earlier this week that davis met privately with pope francis during his visit to washington, d.c. according to the vatican, their meeting should not be interpreted as an endorsement of davis' views on same-sex marriage. last month she defied a judge's order and went to jail for refusing to sign same-sex marriage licenses. and how much do your kids know about the presidential candidates? well, last night jimmy kimmel found out. >> do you know who that is? yes. >> rose. >> no, not rose. i'll give you a hint. her husband used to be the president. >> martha washington? >> who's this guy? do you know who he is? >> george clooney? >> what do you think of this one. >> oh, i know. >> who? >> barack obama.

>> oh! >> kids say the darnedest things. kids also said bernie sanders looked like, quote, he still knows stuff and reads books. >> that's exactly his slogan. i know stuff and i read books. vote for me. but i don't have a comb. >> that's funny. thanks, steve. our special series celebrating hispanic heritage month continues this morning. once again, i'm so excited to be joined by maria molina who is here to tell bus a unique independent bookstore right up the road in new york city's own spanish harlem. incredible >> thank you, elisabeth. that's right. la case is aazul is the only independent bookstore in harlem today focusing on latino literature, and hosting many latino events. it fulfills a need for a community full of culture and pride. in upper manhattan, spanish hard sleep one of the largest

predominantly latino communities in new york. in this neighborhood you can't go too far without seeing the rich traditions all around you. but within a community so immersed in its cultural heritage one important piece was missing. a middle school teacher turned entrepreneur saw the need and founded the independent bookstore la casa azul. >> there are so many places to come and see, museums and galleries and coffee shops but i always felt that something was missing. the center opened, the bookstore comes from my own love of books. when i read the first book by a latino writer, that was the house on mango street and that book changed my life. and was the inspiration for what would become the bookstore. i named la casa azul. i feel like it's a meeting place where everyone in the community, not only in harlem, but people from all the five boroughs, and

even different countries. >> and to make it with a focus on latino literature, that was also very intentional. so many of the residents of this community are of mexican and caribbean descent. why not have it in my own neighborhood? >> a passionate supporter of the arts and culture of east harlem aurora won many awartds for her cultural leadership. when she decided it was time to share her passion with the east harlem community she realized there were many hurdles to overcome before la casa azul could become a reality. >> many different banks declined my loan for four years in a row. that was very discouraging. it was something that i had been dreaming of for over six years before the store actually opened. at the same time i was receiving support from neighbors and residents, and people even coworkers. the bookstore was crowd funded. it was with the support of over 400 people. 7% of those were complete strangers. whatever it is that you need, we are here to support your vision and your dream. because your dream has now become our dream, as well.

>> over the years we've seen increasingly small bookstores bail, close, particularly the latino focused ones in new york city. so the idea that one would be created and coming in to el barrio was a dream come true for us. zblch more than a back store la casa azul students and teachers alike interact with a vision. celebrity readings, family picnics and concerts are just a few of the activities la casa azul has to offer with aurora overseeing it all. >> and having two daughters you have more of an appreciation and understanding, our daughters come here to read. we've been introduced to so many wonderful community based programs in the neighborhood. >> for me working at la casa azul bookstore has been a discovery of my own cultural identity. i would say i didn't know that we existed. i didn't know that latino writers were out there writing for our community.

>> after recently celebrating its three-year anniversary, la casa azul is just getting started. >> i believe every community needs an independent bookstore. so of course it's a dream of mine to see them hopefully in other cities very soon. >> this small business is fast becoming a large part of the east harlem community. they have so many big events in the works. and it's such a great example of how a small business can bring people together and have such a positive impact on a neighborhood. and by the way they also have a gallery of artwork underneath in a basement as well that you can visit when you visit the bookstore. >> we've got to head uptown to see that. >> so many people donated to keep it going. that's incredible. >> the books look amazing as well. they have all kinds of books. i was really excited to be there. >> what about next week? >> next week we do have an unexpected twist on the beautiful sounds of mexico. one group of ladies is shaking things up while honoring the traditional music of mariachi.

sure to tune in next friday for our final hispanic heritage month segment, check out more stories celebrating hispanic heritage month. visit us on foxnewslatino.com. >> i would just like to know when victor cruz is going to do the salsa again? >> we saw him do that on the show. >> he did. >> all right. coming up, the eastern seaboard bracing for impact and charlotte is supposed to be one of the hardest hit. we are live there tracking hurricane joaquin. >> and after summer of laughing off her growing e-mail scandal, hillary clinton isn't done yet. >> well i love your outfit. >> why, thank you. >> i do want the earrings back. zbloerks okay. oh. >> the presidential candidate making another appearance on snl. but wait until you hear what she's skipping to do it!

we've seen crews this morning bringing in -- or they've been raking the sand for debris for glass, for nails, things like that. there are threats of erosion. also storm surge, of course. the tractors were pushing up sand underneath the boardwalk here that we're standing on. and, of course, the flooding concerns as well. i'm joined now by bob stewart, owner of j.r.'s ocean grill. good morning you to, bob. >> good morning. how are you? >> fantastic. thanks for asking. so you're a volunteer firefighter during superstorm sandy, you were making a lot of rescues. but, you were also very concerned about what was going on here. what happened? >> well, we had a lot of water. the basement filled up with water and sand here. i had an arcade down there on the pier. that went into the ocean. never to return. it was just devastation up and down the boardwalk. >> when you hear the threat of hurricane joaquin coming your direction the last few days have you been feeling anxiety? what's been going through your mind? >> well, i've been planning on the worst and hoping for the

best. you know, i've been getting everything ready, as i'm taking it real serious. you know, if it comes i'm going to be as ready as i could possibly be. >> well we know that one of your main landmarks here from casino pier is missing the roller coaster from superstorm sandy. they're hoping to get that open sometime next year. good luck to your town and good luck if you're riding this out. >> thank you very much. >> elisabeth, brian and steve back to you. >> anna, thank you. >> that was the major story. the superstorm about to hit. of course, what was happening over with russia's intrusion into syria, and then this happened over in oregon yesterday, in the morning, and we watched it as we found out who the shooter was. >> this is a fox news alert. what exactly was the mad man's motive? we're not going to use the name of the shooter because it sounds like he was actually out for notoriety. that's one of the reasons why, and we had dr. michael wellner who examines mass murders for things like that, that's what he suggested, because this particular guy loved what the

shooter did in roanoke, virginia. killing those two people live on television. he seemed to have gotten so many people interested in his story, even though it was such a tragic one, just by virtue of doing something different. and doctor michael wellner suggests that perhaps one of the reasons that this particular shooter was suggested that he have the victim stand up and declare their religion, and then said good, because you're a christian you're going to see god in about one second, maybe he was not anti-christian. maybe he just thought that would get him a big head line. listen to this. >> there's a familiar pattern of someone who recognizes from watching others that they are going to be made larger than life, and they're going to be portrayed in a way that they can actually control by doing something extreme, violent, and outrageous. and it converges with someone

who has a very poor sense of who he is as a man. and recognizing that he's a failure as an individual, and understanding that he can go from being nobody to a hypercelebrity overnight simply by body count, or by doing the outrageous. >> and the bodies he got were ten. he killed ten. by the way, he also might have posted what he was going to do on social media before he did it. some of you will write don't go to school tomorrow if you're in the northwest. he put that post up. >> that was on the anonymous message board four chan which is being looked into by federal authorities to see if that was linked and paralleling his actions yesterday. >> dr. welner said to me if you want to do something, deny this guy what he wanted. if you're going to put a picture up of him use the worst pick u you could possibly find. if he were alive it would just bug him. instead we're not going to mention his name, the three of us. other reporters will, but we're

not going to give him any notoriety. >> not at all. right now we're going to turn to heather who has some headlines as it pertains to two illegal immigrants. >> some other stories we're following for you. just briefly. we begin with two illegal immigrants now facing life in prison for the murder of a border patrol agent that sparked that fast and furious controversy. ivan soto baraza and jesus lionel sanchez mesa, they were found guilty for killing agent brian terry in a shoot-out near the mexican border back in 2010. terry's murder put a spotlight on the botched federal gun trafficking operation fast and furious, which supplied guns to criminals to sniff out drug cartels. mayor bill de blasio may have broken the law during an appearance on cnn. he took a jab at donald trump by wearing a red hat that says make america fair again. of course trump's hat says make america great again. take a look at the difference. well, trump filed a trademark

for that slogan back in 2012, and legal analysts say that trump may have a case against de blasio for trade mark violation. what do you think? well, live from new york, it's hillary clinton. >> thank you for coming. i love your outfit. >> well, i love your outfit. >> why, thank you. >> but i do want the earrings back. >> oh, okay. oh! >> the democratic presidential candidate set to take the stage on the premiere of "saturday night live" tomorrow. it is the latest in a string of appearances aimed at showing her lighter side to voters. you know, she's more personable. but in order for her to be on the show, she will reportedly have to turn down giving the keynote address for the influential human rights campaign, which is the country's most powerful lesbian and gay rights group. and the colorado college banning the words lord, god or jesus on donation plaques. now a former football player is

suing the school. other banned words, include some of the ones that you see there on your screen. but there is another plaque that reads, give 'em hell. so that's okay. so the guys, our viewers or our viewers have a lot to say about this. and here's some of the e-mails i think you guys are going to read some of these. >> we are. >> thank you, heather. >> deborah says quote, i wouldn't give the school money. they shouldn't be able to ban the word. >> ashley following up e-mailing in saying we are a nation of many belief systems, not one political correctness is becoming the new mainstream religion. >> and michelle says, on facebook she says no mentions of god means no donation. >> all right. and of course, what is on the money? what's the slogan? in god we trust. >> oh, yeah. >> i haven't seen money in awhile. >> deemed by the supreme court a nonreligious expression by the way. >> that's the problem with having direct deposit and using a swipe card.

>> i don't even know what money is. i don't even get change anymore. >> somebody send brian a dollar, quick. >> targeted by the taliban. what the terror group just claimed about the crash that left six u.s. service members dead in afghanistan. and is your smartphone ruining your relationship? >> what is this? what is this on the blackberry all the time now? you know it's really getting annoying. >> we're going to tell you why dropping that device could save your marriage. >> but i think he's coming back, by the way, to that show. allergies distracting you? when your symptoms start... ...doctors recommend taking claritin every day of your allergy season. claritin provides powerful, non-drowsy, 24-hour relief for... ...fewer interruptions from the amazing things you do...

of the sky in afghanistan leaving 11 people dead. six of them united states service members. the c-130j was approaching the jalalabad airport 80 miles outside of kabul. joining me to react is a former senior airman with the united states air force security forces who served two tours in pakistan and afghanistan. he also founded the organization companions for heroes. thank you for being with us and for your service. >> thanks, elisabeth. appreciate you having me on. >> we're doing a very specially dedicated cross-fit worker later in the program. this news breaking, how appropriate you were with us today to discuss. these vehicles are no stranger to you. you were transported in them all the time during your tenure, correct? >> that's correct. c-130s were our primary mode of transportation in that region. quite frankly i was honestly shocked when i heard the news it crashed. i believe, my personal experience, is that it was unfortunate shot down. >> what do you think about the administration at this point claiming that it was just a

crash? >> honestly, i think as a veteran, disabled veteran, many of us out there speaking for them, as well. just tell the truth. >> what do you think that is? >> i think that, you know, hostile forces took it down. unfortunately. >> the investigation is currently under way. this is the aircraft that the u.s. military and coalition forces, this is their main form of transport and travel. am i wrong there? >> these aircraft are very efficient. we use them all the time to go from one place to another in that region. and unfortunately we've never even heard, six years i was serving, never heard of a c-130 crashing. ever. >> what could potentially cause this -- this plane to actually go down? what could cause a crash? if indeed it was, what would, what would it take? >> unfortunately, again, i'm not, you know, well versed in the matter of what's going on over there right now. but my personal opinion, and what i've dealt with these aircraft is i think it was more than likely unfortunately shot down. >> you did two tours in pakistan afghanistan when you were aboard one of these planes was that a concern of yours, being shot down while you were aboard?

>> it was. some of these aircraft are enabled with the flares that pop out and anti-aircraft. and so i'm very shocked again to hear this news. sad to hear this. >> of course. we all our hearts are with all families there. >> god bless them. absolutely. >> senior airman dave sharpe we're going to see you later on in the program. >> thanks, elisabeth. >> you're not going to miss what he's up to coming up. it's friday, but before you make your weekend more very plans, stick around, kevin mccarthy's reviews are next. >> this is mark watney, and i'm still alive. obviously. even if i could -- ahh... ahh... cigna customers have plan choices and tools to take control. so they're more engaged, with fewer high health risks and lower medical costs. take control of your health at cigna dot com slash take control.

it's a fox film. they've been screening it here in the building for awhile. i saw ridley scott across the street yesterday, he was doing a promotional thing. i hear the movie is great. you tell me about it. >> yeah, well, blade runner, alien, gladiator, if i saw him across the street i would have been running across the street crying, you are the greatest filmmaker ever. i love ridley scott. this is based on a popular book about a manned mission to mars. a storm hits mars and the crew tries to leave to go back to earth but one of their astronauts, mr. mark watney is struck by an antenna and they think he's dead. they leave him because they think he's dead. turns out he's actually alive and he has to try to find a way to get back thome communicate with nasa. one of matt damon's best performances in years. i think it's sir ridley scott's best movie 'skins gladiator. it's perfectly pace. highly recommend threeing it in 3-d. i spoke to matt damon. he was in a movie called

interstellar where he was alone on a planet for a long period of time. i wondered if that character was to meet this character alone on mars what would they talk about? also when he's isolated like that did he isolate himself at all from his family to get that feeling? check this out. >> no. i haven't been isolated in a very long time. yeah, yeah, there's some mornings i really would like to be isolated. you know. have a coffee and read the paper. but, no. four kids doesn't allow for much isolation. >> yeah. could you imagine a scenario where dr. mann and mark watney met and talked about science. what would they talk about? >> they have very different outlooks. they probably hit it off. yeah. mann probably would have been grateful for the company. that's for sure. he might have lasted a little longer. >> let's get that done. martian two -- what are we going to do? what are we going to do? >> funny stuff. i hated interstellar. i know you loved it. so we agree to disagree.

now tell me about the walk. >> one of the most incredible experiences i've ever had in a movie theater. when i was a kid i went to the twin towers with my uncle and he told me this story about a man who walked across the twin towers on a wire in 1974. didn't believe him. then i saw a documentary and it changed my life and this film makes you feel like you're up there. robert democrzemeckis did this. the real man who did it trained joseph gore to actually walk on a wire. it is a phenomenal experience, a beautiful, beautiful tribute to the twin towers. and new york city. make sure you see it. i'm reading stories, steve, and people are actually getting sick because you feel like you're actually up there with him. it is an incredible 3-d experience. definitely see it. two of the best movies of the year. >> i want to see both of them. kevin mccarthy who will not be speaker of the house, thank you very much for joining us live today. >> thanks a lot, steve. you should see the tweets i'm getting. people are killing me. >> i've seen them.

good morning to you. it is friday, october 2nd, 2015. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert for you now. brand-new developments overnight on the oregon college massacre. we now know the gunman and his sinister plot to murder christians. what the shooter said bev started killing. and we're covering extreme weather and a close eye on hurricane joaquin this morning. we now have a better idea of where joaquin is headed. as a state of emergency has been declared along parts of the eastern seaboard. and hot after the campaign trail big news from three contenders for the white house. which of these three is talking about an exit plan? we'll discuss it. because mornings, even on this

morning, is better with friends. >> we thank you for joining us at this time. we start with that extreme weather alert and the latest on hurricane joaquin. >> that's right. this is all anybody's been talking about for the last couple of days. well, now, the hurricane is forecast to not make landfall here in the united states. but it is still expected to impact the coast with rain, and wind, and a lot of beach erosion and flooding. >> we tell you all that to lead in maria molina who is at the weather center. >> good morning. and you're right. i mean we're expecting the storm to possibly make landfall across the eastern u.s., and that has all changed, all the computer models now showing that the storm should stay east of the coast of the u.s. so of course that's welcome news, but like you mentioned we're going to see all kinds of impacts. first i want to talk about what's going on with the storm right now. the national hurricane center

released their 8:00 a.m. updates and now we have a storm sill at 130-mile-per-hour maximum sustained winds. still a category 4 hurricane, and still lashing the bahamas with very heavy rain. we could see up to 25 inches of rain. so flooding really the biggest concern, in addition to those very strong winds. that northward turn we've been expecting has started to occur. so it's moving northwest now. still very slowly. just 3 miles per hour. these people have been dealing with life-threatening conditions for a period of like 24 hours. and that's forecast to continue throughout the day today until eventually the storm begins to paul way from the bahamas as we head into tonight. you can see the forecast cone has changed dramatically over the last couple of days. it moves eastward, then eastward, now much further east. forecast to say east of the u.s. and eventually begin to weaken as it continues to move north and encounter some stronger winds and also some cooler water temperatures. across the eastern u.s. you're still going to be looking at wind gusts of up to 30 miles per hour, possibly even stronger.

that's going to bring some issues because it's onshore wind with beach erosion possible, some coastal flooding. we have watches and advisories in affect out here. even warnings that have been upgraded from the mid-atlantic up into parts of new england. so this is going to be a concern, and in addition to coastal flooding, across the carolinas, we're expecting up to a foot of rain. that could be very significant, watches are in affeeffect there well. >> a foot of rain for charleston. >> maria, thank you very much. >> meanwhile onto our other breaking story this morning. a community in mourning after a college massacre yesterday in oregon ten people dead including the shooter. seven others injured in hospitals this morning. >> hundreds gathering for a candle light ving toll honor the victims there. this as the gunman is identified. william is live in rosenberg, oregon with new developments this morning. what do we know now? >> well elisabeth, steve and brian good morning. there have been 152 school

shootings since 1990. this is one of the worst. nine students killed, seven injured. we believe three are still in critical. it started yesterday around 10:30 in the morning when 26-year-old christopher harper mercer did walk in to a writing and public speaking class with three handguns and a rifle. now, we are told that by the father of one of the survivors that mercer shot the professor first, then asked the students if they were christian before opening fire. the campus serves about 5,000 students. it's a gun-free zone. there's one security guard who does not carry a weapon but a can of mace. 35 students were inside snyder hall. and it took only eight minutes for deputies to arrive here. so it could have been a lot worse. and unlike columbine, they immediately engaged and mercer died in the shoot-out. we don't know yet if ballistics or witnesses will tell us if it was by cop or by suicide. but the sheriff refuses to even use his name. >> you will never hear me

mention his name. we would encourage media, and the community, to avoid using it. we encourage you not to glorify and create sensationalism for him. he in no way deserves this. >> now many students ran for cover, some were trying to hide. but another student, according to relatives, tried to stop mercer from entering another classroom. >> tried to block the door to keep the gunman from coming in. got shot three times, hit the floor, looked up at the gunman and says it's my son's birthday today. gets shot two more times. >> -- are okay, and he's going to have -- he walked away, and that's more than some of the other people did. >> hundreds attended a vigil, a candlelight vigil last night. the candles spelled out ucc, the name of the college, at a local

park. they prayed for victims there but also this kid's from los angeles and they moved to oregon in 2013. according to a neighbor, he's not very friendly. that he sat alone in the dark and reporters caught up with the father last night. >> a shock at what happened today. i've just been talking to the police and the fbi. we are not -- details i have right now is what you guys know already. obviously it's been a devastating day. devastating for me and my family. all i ask is please just respect our privacy. shocked is all i can say. >> now we have two news conferences later today with the hospital and the sheriff. we should learn more about the shooter at that time. back to you guys. >> all right. that's what we know so far. meanwhile heather childress is here helping us out with the news because there's a lot breaking especially what goes on in syria. >> and we're going to get straight to that because it is a breaking news alert. a major isis stronghold in syria

under attack this morning by drone air strikes. the bombing targeted the isis strong hold of roca. however at this point it's not clear what question is behind the attack. the area has been targeted by both the united states, and russian airplanes in the past. this, of course, all coming as russia and iran team up to launch military attacks in syria against isis. a convicted serial killer finally meets his fate. alfredo prieto was put to death by looeth at injection at the greensville correctional center in virginia making him the first inmate executed in the state in three years. he was sentenced to death back in 2010 for the murder of a young couple more than two decades earlier. but at the time of that conviction he was on death row in california for another murder. officials think that he is connected to at least six more deaths in both states. a terrifying flight for american airlines passengers ended with five people in the hospital. turbulence rocking the flight

from miami to the caribbean at 36,000 feet. and look at this. one man who was sleeping with his seat belt unbuckled right there, he was tossed so hard his head cracked the ceiling. >> we had some turbulence and felt a little rumble within three seconds of that we just dropped completely out. >> it was scary. especially when you have your family on board. we're just grateful survived. >> american airlines says that the pilots were not aware of any turbulence. and finally, after 35 years of work, and not a single sick day, not one, an alabama police captain is finally getting a day off. mike flowers is retiring today. this the only time that he's ever missed a day of work or school. listen to this. in school he only missed a day when he had the measles back in the first grade. he says that it all goes back to the lessons that his mom taught him as a kid. and those are a look at your headlines. no sick days, guys. >> he was raised --

>> you don't take a day off. >> excuse me. >> geraldo good morning to you. >> good morning. >> because you know so much about afghanistan we want to talk to you about this claim by the taliban, they claim they shot down a c-130. and they're taking credit for it, the u.s. military says not so fast, we don't think that's true. >> well, all i can say is i know the jalalabad airport very well. i've flown in dozens and dozens of c-130s. it is a flying bus, they are definitely our most reliable aircraft flown by an american air crew out of a landing strip that's very capable and accommodating. it's not like the other -- the dirt strips in afghanistan. >> are they a big target though? >> they're huge targets. i credit the taliban is very active right now. as you know earlier this week, the city of kunduz became the first city, major city, recaptured by the taliban.

14 years ago, i covered the fall of kunduz. i was there. one of my first fox news assignments, november 2001. i was in kunduz as the taliban surrendered, and many were captured. it was a remarkable moment for me. but even then, even known, as you know, relative rookie reporter for fox news 14 years ago, i mean, insofar as afghanistan reporting goes, i could see they have easy capability to shoot down an fc-130 and i credit their claim now and i think that more ominously it is symbolic as is the fall of kunduz which may be recaptured today or tomorrow. >> it is currently under investigation how this went down. six united states service members were killed. when this c-130 went down here of course our prayers are with their families, and ask for god's blessing on our military. this you say if i'm hearing you correctly that is a target but

it is a massive bus. so this crash do you find unlikely? we did speak with a senior airman earlier in our program who said he finds it unlikely that this bus in the air would just crash. >> i find it extremely unlikely. even if you're not as highly skilled, really competent pilot, and our guys and girls all are, this is a wonderful aircraft. we've been flying it since 1954. i mean, they have accidents from time to time. but usually it has to do with pilot error and i just don't see it in this case at all. >> it's just falling apart. 10,000 troops left. we wanted to be out of there -- >> i think if we keep the 10,000 unlike iraq where we withdrew everybody precipitously. if we keep the 10,000 under the command of general john f. campbell i believe kunduz can be recaptured and we can stabilize afghanistan. but unless we have an exit strategy that includes negotiation with the taliban we need an activist foreign policy. we are absolutely getting no

leadership on these areas. i mean, maybe vladimir putin has to go to afghanistan also to show us the way. >> let them -- >> not that they have that much success. >> thank you very much. have a good weekend. all right, coming up on this friday, president obama wasting no time putting his own mark on the tragedy in oregon. >> i'm going politicize this issue. well this is something we should politicize. >> really? dana perino used to stand at that podium. she weighs in on that next. >> and hot off the campaign trail, which of these three is talking about an exit plan. i love quizzes. to folks out there whose diabetic nerve pain...

shoots and burns its way into your day, i hear you. to everyone with this pain that makes ordinary tasks extraordinarily painful, i hear you. make sure your doctor hears you too! i hear you because i was there when my dad suffered with diabetic nerve pain. if you have diabetes and burning, shooting pain in your feet or hands, don't suffer in silence! step on up and ask your doctor about diabetic nerve pain. tell 'em cedric sent you.

somehow this has become routine. the reporting is routine. my response here at this podium ends up being routine. the conversation and the aftermath of it, we've become numb to this.

and what's become routine, of course, is the response of those who oppose any kind of commonsense gun legislation. right now, i can imagine the press release is being cranked out. we need more guns, they'll argue. fewer gun safety laws. does anybody really believe that? and of course, what's also routine is that somebody somewhere will comment and say, obama politicized this issue. well this is something we should politicize. >> so let's hear it. >> you got president obama demanding new gun legislation, apparently, in the wake of yesterday's shooting at that community college in oregon. dana perino used to stand at that same podium, former white house press secretary to george w. bush. co-host of "the five." what did you make of the

president of the united states coming out to get political about it, even though we had so few details about what actually happened? >> well, i do think the president often jumps the gun on responding to things. however, i'm a few minds of it. first of all, a refreshingness to see just some fire in his belly. he spoke without notes. he spoke with passion. it must be horrible to be the president of the united states, and as he said, it's routine. we do this about every six weeks. >> well, he does -- >> somebody has to go in and say to the president -- and we cover it. because this is happening. and so he's angry. the part i didn't like, i don't think that the politicization was the right phrasing for him to use. and i find him unpersuasive. i could actually be somebody that if you showed me that new gun control legislation could actually help solve this problem, i might actually be able to support something like that. but he doesn't take that step. he tries to make it political. >> we can't -- >> when you look at all the gun control measures that have been announced in the wake of all the

horrific shootings, nothing probably would have prevented what happened yesterday. we don't know the details. we don't know if the guy got them illegally. we don't know. >> to your point, chicago stands in complete contrast to the president's theory that he put out politicizing this event. and i think that doesn't sit well with the american people at all. >> right. and i think that is a strike against his argument. and one of the reasons it's unpersuasive. he said well if you're worried about the ten people that died yesterday, and so are we, but what about the 20 people who were killed in chicago last weekend. not all in the same place, but throughout the city. why aren't you talking about that, mr. president? why don't you come out to the podium and speak about that. what i don't understand, he doesn't seem to be able to build a coalition to be able to push through the laws that he wants. he's shown that he can get things done in congress, it's this one, i think it makes him mad that he can't get it done but i find his strategy is lacking. >> what is his strategy? what is the plan? the one thing we come together on is mental health. the one thing these all have in common is say mental health issue. you would think we could get on the same page like that but we

never do. >> we never don't. i think that is the root cause. there are some pieces of legislation here and there. but the concerted effort is not there. >> he wants some on the right to say, you look at what he's suggesting, he just wants the widespread, whitespread confiscation of guns. >> let me just say something. perhaps he thinks that that is the only solution. and if that's the case, then he should try to make it and see what he can -- everybody's realistic enough to know that's not going to happen. zbleez lost. >> frustration coming from the president. >> stay right there. >> i am going to say here >> she's going to stick around to explain how everyone from cross-fit toers man's best friend are coming to the to help our nation's best. our veterans. and some news from the top contenders for the white house. which of these that you're looking at right here is now talking about an exit strategy? >> wait, joe biden is a contender? i knew it!

big election news on this friday morning from three of the potential contenders. first up live from new york city, it's hillary clinton. >> thank you for coming. i love your outfit. >> well, i love your outfit. >> why, thank you. >> i do want the earrings back. >> oh, okay. oh! >> the democratic presidential candidate set to take the stage at saturday night life tomorrow. you'll see hillary live from new york. now to donald trump. he is now saying he would drop out of the presidential race if he starts tanking in the polls. right now, though, he's leading every major poll.

and joe biden will not participate in the first democratic presidential debate on october the 13th. biden is still apparently mulling over whether to run. his decision is expected later this month. that's politics. now over to a should yo full of people. >> that's right, steve. well, canines and cross-fit what a match. that's how some veterans are getting through the ordeal of combatting depression and ptsd. >> now there's a special fund-raising event called heroes for horton, to honor chris horton and save shelter dogs and american heroes. joining us right now and we're privileged to have everybody here with us dave sharpe, you were on with us before helping us out with the tragedy in afghanistan. dave is the founder of companions for heroes along with his doug harley. chuck cosgrove is here. and he is a crossfit master and course manager. i am not. and dana perino could be if she had the time. she's a board member of come pan

yawns for heroes and co-host of "the five." how does it feet in? >> heroes for horton does three things. honor my friend chris horton was killed in afghanistan. 9 september 2011. two to promote the mission of companions for heroes. we put up shelter dogs with veterans who are trying to commit suicide, law enforcement, first responders and save them as well. lastly and the most important is to promote crossfit by empowering these heros to get out in their communities instead of sitting there in their homes and empower them to do something. july 14th, god bless, my dog cheyenne passed away. and i was in a dark place. my wife got tired of hearing me. even though i love her to death and she'll kill me for saying this, but unfortunately, i was in a dark place, and who was there for me? crossfit community. so i was skeptical of doing it. heard crossfit, people get hurt. today we're going to show you how crossfit is helping hurt

heroes, these veterans who put their lives on the line. these law enforcement people. we owe it to them. >> know the sense of teamwork and goals it's perfect for the military mind-set? >> yeah, without question. so the idea for us is to provide a platform for these guys to have not only community but also the opportunity to get together, and express their thoughts, and energy toward someone that they've lost in the past. and we do that through fitness, and regardless of your fitness level, we're able to combine it and get you through that based on our ability to scale down the workouts. so whether you're an elite athlete or someone who is brand new we can make it happen for you. >> did you bring any guys with you that could demonstrate crossfit? >> absolutely. >> we're in the presence of one of the strongest women in the world. >> without question we've got it the 2015 reebok crossfit games champion here. we're going to get the guys in here. >> first movement that we're going to talk about right here is going to be the basic dead lift. nothing more than picking things up from the ground. neutral back, weight on the heels. she's going to go down to the barbell and simply stand up by

maintaining a good neutral spine. from there shale send her hips back and lower the bar back to the ground. super press. she'll green the dollar up to her shoulders and use her legs to dip and drive. boom easy day. that's when it works well. now let's talk about it for the adaptive athlete. come on in, guys. take a look real quick. again, the universal scaleability of crossfit is something that is pretty unique. so we can have guys dead lift barbells and do the push press over here. get you up front here. great. and they can go through these movements. demonstrate your moves for me. >> dead lift. >> dead lift. >> and sarah is going to demonstrate a push-press for us. with the 45 pound barbell. >> with one leg. >> one leg. >> that is so unbelievable. she makes it look so easy. >> where is the connection here? crossfit truely is a drip for so many people when it comes to our veterans, why crossfit? why does it work so well in combat and ptsd?

>> i think it does two things. it reaches in and touches them in a deep way. whenever you have the opportunity to go to your darkest place that your fitness program sort of reminds them of a place that maybe they've been somewhere outside of fitness. and so we connect those dots through shared suffering, if you will, in the business realm. >> just like the military. it's a sense of community for us. that's what you get. you know, i attended the joe schmo gyms and for years didn't know anybody's name. first week at crossfit i knew everybody's name. >> and you're all cheering for one another. >> one thing is i've known dave for several years this program works and the dogs absolutely help them save their lives. >> that dog looks very secure in your arms, as well. >> i have to say, what's your first name? >> sarah. >> how long -- first of all, how did this happen? >> i was diagnosed with bone cancer. >> so you have said to yourself i'm not going to stop working out because i lost my leg. >> absolutely. >> how long did it take you to be able to balance and lift like you do? >> the balances took a lot of work and a lot of back and

forth. my physical therapist at the time i didn't believe her and the things that she was trying to make she do that it would help me. looking back, all the hours i put in in physical theory really, really helped. when i got the balance down i wanted to push myself and get out there and really find something that challenged me. >> pretty amazing. has that helped to have everybody else around you? >> absolutely. these guys are just amazing. incredible community. i've met some of my closest friends and we fit together and it's great. >> all right. great meeting you. thanks so much. thanks so much for coming down, guys. appreciate it. you guys look in great shape. fantastic. and i feel like i got to go work out. >> all right. >> and jason is actually going to -- >> that was a match made in the green room. >> bring out sassy. >> yeah. >> we want to make sure that everybody knows and has information on how you can participate and donate to these great causes. more information on the adoptable pets and the horton for me rows -- heroes for

horton. go to foxandfriends.com. we'll be right back with more. >> can you take off the vest now. it's from daddy. sfx: dad's voice i love you baby girl. duracell quantum lasts longer in 99% of devices so you can always be there. ♪

it's one of my favorite instruments. listen to this. where did the >> mik mic go? >> we're going to show you. >> is america transform nothing the land of the free, home of the victim? >> i've been verbally abused because of my religion >> i was also a victim as a child. >> i wouldn't say i was not a victim. >> john stossel says believe it or not, he used to be one of them. he was eligible for disability. detake it? and should you? >> hi, john. ♪ nothing artificial. just real roasted turkey. carved thick. that's the right way to make a good turkey sandwich. the right way to eat it? is however you eat it. panera. food as it should be.
