holloway, two fatalities and there is still a hospital press conference to come. that might happen in the next hour and of course, i am going to leave it here. see you on ""the five"." meanwhile, here is bret baier. he will take it over. >> bret: i am bret baier in washington. lawmakers are getting ready to hear from a new impeachment witness after a twist during the first public hearing. president trump claims the witnesses we heard from already also man accused of killing college student back in court today. and nine students from the university have died in the last couple of months. investigators are zeroing in on possible cause. fox news reporting begins now. but first, breaking news continuing here on
12:01 pm
fox news channel, the bullets that blasted through an otherwise calm morning in a high school in santa clarita, california, just about 30 miles northwest of l.a. the first reports started coming in around 7:30 a.m. local time at the beginning of the school day. moments later, we saw an all-too-familiar scene. a children streaming out of schools with their hands in the air, many with tears in their eyes. after they watched a gunman opened fire on their friends, classmates, and teachers. >> my friend described it as screaming and running, a little bit of a pause, and that was it. and just ran to the mormon church. >> bret: just saw that press conference live, saying at least two students are dead including a 16-year-old girl and at least three other students are injured. police say there is video that shows the suspect taking a handgun from a backpack and shooting five students before he shot himself. he is currently in the hospital
12:02 pm
in grave condition. christina coleman arrived at the scene as it was unfolding. she joins me live now outside saugus high school. christina. >> it was a heartbreaking the scene. you had so many students being escorted out of the high school, some of them in tears. this happened shortly after the schools in the area were put on lockdown after that shooting. again, what we know is at least two people have died, a male and a female at this point. they are to have six people that were transported to local hospitals after this shooting. again, a massive investigation into this right now. police have not identified a motive for the shooting. they are interviewing a number of students, one deputy saying there were rumors that this shooter might have posted something on social media. they are encouraging people if they notice anything on social media that could have been tight did this to notify authorities. they are trying to figure out
12:03 pm
what happened here, they want to prevent something like this from happening again so they are definitely doing that social media scrub. at this point, i had talked to a number of parents from i didn't want to go on camera but some of them who did including a father who said his daughter was being questioned by authorities, was very concerned. he said he wanted to be with her at this time, especially after the shooting. not sure what she might have seen and what she might have heard. take a listen to what he had to say. >> obviously, they are holding on to her because she was experiencing something or witnessing something that happened there. i don't know what that is, so that is worrisome for a parent. it's good to know that physically, she is safe. but you don't know what mentally she is going through right now. >> a number of agencies investigating this, the press conference that happen, you have the fbi, the atf, local sheriff's deputies, police
12:04 pm
officers, again this scene just blocked off. just within hours, this area was completely filled with law enforcement. you have the s.w.a.t. team out here, a number of people just completely blocking off this area after the shooting occurred, very terrifying moment for parents out here who were tearing up and you can only imagine the fear that they are experiencing when they hear that a shooting has taken place at the school. again, this happened around 7:30 in the morning, so they had just got to school. and so they dropped some of these students off and the school is near several elementary schools. so again, all of the schools in this area were on lockdown, a reunification site has been set up in central park where parents can reunite with their kids. but again, law enforcement is questioning students. they want to hear from any potential witnesses. they do believe someone saw what happened and want to talk to them and get to the bottom of
12:05 pm
this especially with so many people wanting answers at this very sad time. >> bret: we heard from the news conference that they will be grief counselors out there at the unification center. i wanted to ask you in the news conference and they are on the ground, is there more of a sense of who this was? it appears to be a student, and motive is still up in the air. >> motive is still up in the air. authorities have identified him as a 16-year-old asian male, they say his 16th birthday was today. that still doesn't give any concrete details as to why this shooting took place. they are really trying to figure out if there was any kind of ideological reasoning that he might have done something like this. but again, it is so early on in this investigation even though the law enforcement presence here is massive. so those are just some things they're going to be looking
12:06 pm
into, especially the motive. >> bret: thank you, we will be back for any breaking details awaiting to hear a news conference from the hospital again. two students said to be killed, at least three at this point wounded, and we believe that the shooter is one of those as well. a self-inflicted wound. we expect to get more from the hospital. teresa is a student at the high school, she says she ran from the building after she heard gunshots. she joins me now live. teresa, how are you and tell me what you heard and saw? >> hi. when i got onto school campus, i heard one gunshot and i thought it was a balloon. at first i thought it was a joke, that i saw a bunch of kids running towards me, screaming leave campus, there is a shooter and i still couldn't fathom what was happening.
12:07 pm
i still thought it was a joke but then i saw my sister running towards me saying teresa, we need to go, we need to go. there is a shooter on campus. so we just ran for our lives. >> bret: so you were just getting to school at the time. you are 1 of 4 kids and you said your sister is a junior, see you were just arriving at school when all of this goes down. >> yes. >> bret: was at mass hysteria? were there people running all over the place? >> there were people running in all directions. >> do you have any sense -- have you talked to people on the ground about how this came to be? >> i am not too sure how it came to be. i only know what everyone else knows, two kids are now dead and three others are wounded. >> bret: what did you see as you started running? was it your brother who dropped you off?
12:08 pm
>> he was on his way home and then we called him to pick us up but while i was running, i saw a bunch of kids running too and my friend who was behind me said you can come to my house and hide out there, so me and my sister were at his house because he lives right next to school and waited there until my brother aim to pick us up. >> bret: what were you thinking in that moment? >> i was thinking this isn't real, this can't be real, i can't believe this is happening right now. >> bret: you see all this coverage of school shootings and mass shootings around the country and having not been in this position, you think it can't happen to your school. >> i thought it would never happen to saugus. >> bret: teresa, thank you for joining us on the phone, we appreciate your eyewitness account and hang in there, all the best to you and your schoolmates. >> thank you.
12:09 pm
>> bret: chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher continues our team coverage out in l.a. >> building a little more context for this, you should know that saugus high school is as you get out of los angeles going towards the mojave desert right there between highway highway 5 and interstate 14. 2300 students, and there are fences around the entire school. we should note they do have a school resource officer. we have been asking but haven't been given an answer as to whether the officer was on school campus at the time. this happened at 7:30 in the morning, 7:38 to be exact. you had a group of students, all the students moving their way on and this happened in the quad. the astonishing part of this was the share of coming out and saying that they had to watch the videotape of the student, a 16-year-old described as an asian male pulled out a .45 caliber handgun from his backpack and open fire. he fired five times, then turned
12:10 pm
the gun on himself, shooting himself in the head. all morning long, the reports came in that the shooter had suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound. the sheriff later came out and said that was not accurate, the shooter was wounded. now they are saying the shooter is in grave condition. what this brings up is whether or not he was targeting somebody. did he go into the quad trying to target somebody? the shooter's girlfriend as well as the girlfriends mother are now being interviewed by investigators, and we should note that there is a huge contingent of detectives, investigators at the shooter's house. we do not know if the parents are home, if he had siblings, that information has not yet been released. but we can point out there have been two previous threats against saugus high school in recent weeks, and those threats the undersheriff said had been investigated and they had been vetted and there was no nexus between those threats and this
12:11 pm
threat. separately, there were also some rumors that there was a social media threat this morning. the sheriffs talked about that and said it is being investigated, but right now they have very little information about that. we should tell you that at the time, a big controversy and former school shootings that the sheriff's department when i got on scene and immediately went into the building which has now become standard operating procedure. >> bret: gathering evidence obviously, and i heard the sheriff's address this but they don't have any information about how this 16-year-old gets this gun. >> that is one of the clear questions, clearly he didn't buy it because he is 16. the question is did he get it from home? did he get it from somebody else? what is the social media footprint? you have investigators, which is one of the first to-do list items is going over his social media footprint, finding out who he was texting, who he was talking to, what different platforms he was on, with the involved in guns, did he have
12:12 pm
any kind of ideology? they say there is no ideology they can find right now but it's one of those things they will try to go through to find out if there was any kind of motive, and that's a big piece of the puzzle. where did he get the gun? we covered a lot of school shootings over the past 23 years and i was saying earlier this is one of the first ones i've ever covered where it was just a student going in with a gun, a single gun and a limited amount of ammunition. so that is unique. what it means, we don't know att this point. >> bret: if we get more pieces of this puzzle, we will head back with breaking news. more on the school shootings throughout this hour but first, more rockets flying just hours after the announcement of a cease-fire in israel. we will check in with a reporter on the ground inside gaza. from all the journalists at fox news, this is "fox news reporting" ." every family has their own unique story. give your family the chance to discover theirs

reporting there was a second witness who also heard it. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel reporting live on capitol hill. >> good afternoon. a whole lot of digging into that one phone call from july 26th. as you mention, ambassador bill taylor said he learned about it from a staffer and we expect that person to give a deposition tomorrow. the phone call involving u.s. ambassador to the e.u. gordon sondland to and we expect him to testify in open session on wednesday so we can expect it will be plenty of questions about this phone call when some of this here on capitol hill for an open session. today, speaker nancy pelosi got defensive when a reporter asked her if she would be better off waiting to hear from witnesses with first-hand information. >> we are not here to be manipulated by the obstruction of justice of the administration. on the one hand, they say that it is secondhand but on the other hand, it is all of the
12:19 pm

12:20 pm
just recently? >> absolutely. they seem to be caught off guard by this. taylor dropping that in the middle of the hearing yesterday after all these people had come up here to capitol hill and given these lengthy closed-door deposition. you've been reading them like i have and they are hundreds of pages long, so a lot of folks are wondering why this just came forward last friday and quarter to a bassett or taylor. >> bret: what about the back and blower? >> they continue to get back to the whistle blower. jim jordan watching this attack earlier today. >> when this started, he said we need to hear from the whistle-blower and now in the last half of the week, we don't need to hear from the whistle-blower. the one thing that has changed in that time frame as we learned adam schiff wasn't square with us when he said he hadn't talked of the whistle-blower. >> majority leader fired back taking to the house floor to defend the whistle-blower. >> it is a responsible, it is wrong, and in fact in almost
12:21 pm
every jurisdiction, there are criminal penalties. for threatening a witness. for impeding justice. >> eight witnesses are expected to be called next week for open hearings. the whistle-blower is not expected to be called. >> bret: mike emanuel live on capitol hill, thank you. breaking news and word from our team on the ground at the gaza strip that there is a new rocket fire right now. we are going there live. next. tgage rates have dropped to near 50-year lows. newday usa can help you refinance your mortgage and save thousands a year. newday's va streamline refi makes it fast and easy because there's no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs. i urge you to call newday usa now.

other countries, those who have citizens in syria who fought for isis, who have been captured, to take those citizens back to their countries and try them through their judicial system. the u.s. is sending them on a country to country basis to convince them there is pushback. but the united states is doing it this is not a feasible thing to do. because of how quickly things can change there, just look at how much they have changed in just the last month alone. >> bret: rich edson at the state department, thank you. now breaking news and new rocket fire over the gaza strip happening moments ago coming in just hours after they called a cease-fire between them in

israel. reporting live from gaza. >> for the third time today, just moments ago when two rockets were fired from the gaza strip into southern israel. according to the israeli defense forces, both of those projectiles were intercepted by the missile defense system, the iron dome, the responses are not unexpected after an air strike last night before the cease-fire was brokered, killed eight gazans who included a commander in islamic jihad. look at the scene where that air strike took place last night. >> this crater is all that's left of the house of a senior islamic jihad commander targeted overnight in a series of air strikes by the israeli military. eight people were killed in the assault. five of them children. >> those two rockets that we just saw fired into israel made the total number today as part of cease-fire violations as 12
12:30 pm
rockets, we have not seen any israeli response you have to these three separate groupings of violations to the cease-fire. we will certainly wait and see if the israeli military decides to respond to the violations. >> bret: tell us about the funeral for that commander who was killed and his family. >> the funeral today for the islamic jihad commander was an opportunity for all the factions to express their concern with a military action that took place earlier this week launching this new round of violence. this was the second major commander in islamic jihad that was killed. you had these three major factions that in the past have fired rockets together all represented at this funeral today raising new questions about what the factions here would like to see in terms of an israeli response if any more of what they are calling israeli aggression continues. take a look at what that funeral was like earlier today. after an israeli air strike overnight killed a family of
12:31 pm
eight people including multiple children, there is a renewed pressure on hamas, the group in control of the gaza strip to respond. in what officials are telling the fox news is a "massacre." we did speak on camera with a senior official in islamic jihad today who noted that his group would start responding more often if the israelis decide to launch more air strikes within the gaza strip. at one point to note tomorrow, there are weekly demonstrations on the gaza border for what they are calling a great return margin going on for 86 weeks in a row now. that demonstration will not take place as the group in control is concerned it would lead to more violations of the cease-fire. >> bret: ahead, a new warning from health officials about deadly superbugs, that not even antibiotics can stop. that is coming up.

12:37 pm
now investigating what has killed nine students this semester alone. william la jeunesse reporting live from our west coast news hub. >> back in the spotlight and for football, the admission scandal or unprofessional staff conduct. nine student fatalities, three suicides, one traffic accident but also the possibility of others are drug-related including overdoses, mixing drugs with alcohol or drugs laced with fentanyl. two of these occurred this past weekend but we don't know if they are related. sending out a letter to parents on tuesday to warn their kids of the risk of drugs or mixing opioids with alcohol. we all know people can get drugs off the street and have no idea what is in them. when you look at rates nationally, usc is within the margins. at a university this size, studies expect nine fatalities for the year. three suicides, five accidents that includes traffic or
12:38 pm
drug-related and 11 from natural causes. usc said the families of the victims don't want the causes revealed but police are saying they are waiting for toxicology reports. the fear that there is a batch of drugs peddled to students laced with fentanyl and the dose they are being sold is deadly. >> bret: we will follow this, thank you. somebody killed an american woman in the dominican republic and investigators they are saying it looks like whoever did it tortured her first, somebody found her tied up and face down on the bed according to local media on the island and now there is word of arrests related to her death. live in our new york city youth newsroom for more. >> we are working to confirm what a local newspaper at the dominican republic has reported last hour that eight people in the dr have been detained in this investigation. is a huge and swift development in this case that has shocked and saddened this community with
12:39 pm
the beloved teacher lived. she moved to the island nation six years ago from michigan. tied in her bed tuesday, a police spokesman tells fox police and investigators will not confirm reports that there has been widely reported. the maintenance worker at the complex where antoine had just moved into days before she was found. identified as a foreigner who has lived on the island since the early '80s. police believe that she was murdered in her home located during the course of the robbery. her tv, computer, cell phones were reported missing. investigators have said she may have known her killer or killers because there was no sign of forced entry. the family and the parents of
12:40 pm
the children she taught at a montessori school in one of the regions of the dr. >> bret: what is next in the investigation? >> performed this week as members of her family reportedly flew to the dr yesterday as they search for answers. police are also set to be reviewing footage from nearby security cameras. also says the tipster has told police about conversations in the areas before her death. was secured with a large iron gate. the woman identified as her cousin by "people" magazine said that she was fulfilling her dream of moving there once her own children were grown adding that she loves the island and the people and that she felt safe there but also knew how to hold around. >> bret: thank you. the republican governor matt bevin says he is conceding after very close race. holding onto his job for more than a week, today he said he
12:41 pm
would not contest the results after election officials across kentucky's double checked the vote totals. reporting live from the state capital in frankfurt, mike? >> we finally have that concession from outgoing republican governor matt bevin. this follows today re-canvassing of votes from 120 counties across kentucky. when the voting was done, the split between governor bevin and the challenger was only 5,186 votes out of 1.4 million. so the governor requested the re-canvassing. just a short time ago, the secretary of state announced that the free canvassing with all 120 counties reporting resulted in no change in the outcome of the election. so as he promised he would, governor bevin conceded. >> i truly wish the attorney general well at the next governor of this state as he assumes these responsibilities. i truly do. i love this state, i love this
12:42 pm
country, i love the fact that we are blessed to live in a nation where things do transition in ways that much of the world wishes they had. >> the attorney general and governor-elect is going to be speaking now at any moment. his staff says he will acknowledge the concession. he now becomes the 63rd governor of the commonwealth of kentucky >> bret: what are republicans saying about the long-term implications here? >> with a split of less than one half of 1%, no one is doubting the validity of calling for the re-canvassing of votes. however, the bevin team has raised a lot of allegations of voter irregularity, but with each of these allegations, there seems to be a lack of substance backing up the allegations. so what we are getting from kentucky republicans now is a bit of a nudge to wrap this process up. >> a good four years and the
12:43 pm
rest of the ticket a very large majority, had a good four years. >> the team never pause, they started setting up the transition team the day after the, may be hard to see it is already being assembled for the inauguration. >> bret: mike, thank you. right now debating the future of roger stone, longtime associate of president trump indicted as part of robert mueller's russia investigation. we'll talk about that case with the defense attorney next.
12:47 pm
12:48 pm
federal prosecutors charged him with lying to congress and witness tampering related to his contacts with wikileaks in 2016. at the site released stolen emails from the democratic national committee and hillary clinton's campaign chairman. the case against stone stems from robert mueller's russia investigation. prosecutors claim stone repeatedly lied under oath about what he knew to save the trump campaign from embarrassment, stone pleaded not guilty to all charges. his defense said he did nothing deliberately illegal. he faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. let's bring in defense attorney who has dealt with cases about the witness tampering and making false statements, some of them in this same federal court. thank you for being here. prosecutors kind of methodical laying out this case, but it didn't take long. >> it wasn't long because it wasn't complex, it's a pretty simple case, it was tried in a very narrow manner and as it turned out, roger stone's biggest problem in the case in terms of the evidence was
12:49 pm
roger stone because his own words were used against him and his own texts were used against him, the very documents he told the congressional committee that he didn't have, he did. the very things he said he didn't do, witnesses came and including senior officials from the trump campaign and said he was "the point of access to wikileaks peered" so at the end of the day, he was his biggest . >> bret: what was a defense argument? >> first of all, it was very quick. that's exactly right, they just replayed about 50 minutes worth of the tape and that was an interesting way to get his voice into the jury but their argument was saying that their action was somewhat retaliatory but that he didn't really have underlying fraudulent intent because the president had already been elected and therefore what would have been the point for him concealing that? that is an interesting argument but it isn't really pertinent to the direct issue of whether he made a false statement under the false statements act. >> bret: obviously,

investigators under oath, it is clear, but they would be an argument from the defense side that robert mueller didn't get the big fish so he is going after the little fish. >> they did make that argument and they said since the overall scope of the subpoenas should have been have been reliant upon russia and there was no rush of finding that that should be an aspect that gets roger stone off the hook. this is a huge gamble by robert stone. he is throwing the dice to the jury many times in these kind of cases. so what this is telling me is that although i think the jury is going to come back with an adverse verdict, he may think he has an ace card up his sleeve by way of a presidential pardon. it's a very big gamble and we will know as early as tomorrow afternoon whether that gamble is going to pay off. >> bret: and politically they were all kinds of calculations of that happens. the jury takes this likely pretty soon. >> i think so. they have been deliberating for about three hours now. they go through the evidence.
