911. with a man with a gun drove immediately to the area so he drove right by the suspect who was hunkered down behind a vehicle where he began shooting at the school at 11:44 14 minutes after the first 9-1-1 call was made 19 officers from various agencies made it outside the classroom door where the suspect was barricaded, but they did not go in instead. they waited for tactical team which arrived about 30 minutes later during today's press conference authorities talking about those 911 calls that came in inside that classroom you can hear well, the 911 call fit three shots were fired 35 minutes after cpd swann arrived officers breaking through the door and killing the suspect just two months before this tragedy. you've all day school district had trained for an incident like this holding an active shooter response drill families neighbors the evolved a community struggling to understand. i'm angry. i mean this guy needs to resign and questions still surrounding those 911 calls from children inside that class.

ballistic shield and fire at the suspect from behind the ballistic shield we teach and train them to know the area so they respond to that area the safest way they can without being detected by the suspect put towards the suspect so you distract the suspect from killing others in uvalde, texas officials admitted. they did not implement the correct. time of officers to do whatever needed to be done with one exception. is that the the incident commander inside believe they needed more equipment. and more officers to do a tactical breach at that point former fbi agent rick smith said dnhave the luxury of time for that. they had an active shooter that that they thought changed to a barricaded situation. so they waited and it didn't it didn't change. it was still an active shooter. who's pena av?

children and teens and adults it's important to normalize that it's okay not to feel okay, you know it really helped to to have permission to be able to feel whatever you feel and to have a space where you can talk about those days without without feeling any stigma around it. what? to get past some of these images that are in their heads and just kind of going around and around. yeah, sometimes it's draw a picture draw a picture of what you saw or maybe you're drawing a picture of what nightmares you were having or the dreams and let's try to adjust it. well, how can we how can we make this picture feel a little bit better? how can we introduce a superhero character? how can we change the ending? so to speak to give the child some some ownership over the story and that experience and how it landed with them? interesting, so reframing it so they're they're in control as

opposed to what they witnessed now specifically in in the buffalo case that was obviously racially motivated. how do you make people feel safe when they look at that and worry. is that going to be me? yeah, you know, it's i i don't think it's within any one person's power to make someone else feel differently. so i think part of it is validating that it's okay not to feel safe and helping clients helping people identify where the spaces are that they do feel safe and oftentimes, especially for communities of color and in particular the black community is relying on relying on your community. so reaching out to those folks who have similar shared experiences so that you don't feel that sense of isolation and and loneliness and dealing with this it really helps to normalize that by relying on community support on the personal side you listen to these stories for hours and

hours and hours. how do you protect your own mental health? because that's fairly traumatic as well. just having to absorb everything that people, you know are telling you yeah, definitely. that's you know an occupational hazard when it comes to therapists and i have a therapist of my own and i'm very open with about with my clients and i have wonderful colleagues and friends and support. my family and friends that i can rely on and i also really practice or try to practice as much as possible having really fun boundaries around work-life balance. you know, it is a practice. it's not something i can say i perfected but definitely having having boundaries around what is work and what is my personal time and doing things outside, you know being out in nature and getting to move around helps to metabolize all the stress and trauma. i've been exposed to just by virtue of my job. yeah sure. it makes perfect sense dr. saunders. thank you so much for your time

off of two devastating injuries out for two and a half years and you can just see the emotion dan welling up in him as kind of the the moment. he was soaking it in and thinking about all those days and nights in the gym and the rehab yeah and out sailing. he had all that. no, he works so hard to get back larry and it was so satisfying not only to see the look on his face. he played such a great game too great series but his teammates as well and one of the things that touching about this is the depth of support for one another i mean, this is a team in the true sense of the word and they missed a molly who's gone. they're thrilled to have him back and it's just anything to see agreed mike. i just love the new pieces and how they fit in to make this six out of eight trips to the you know to win the title the championship and looney. you've got pool. you've got wiggins. i mean they the way they assimilate into the culture that

steve kerr and as you mentioned thompson and also, you know steph and draymond have created there to make this a winning franchise. it's really something to be emulated and admired. so you are so lucky. we are we really are what rant is thinking right. i was just happy the way the game ended. i didn't have to bite my nails to the end. you can actually just enjoy it. yes life change, right? yeah. all right, we could know by the end of the night who the warriors will play in the finals only on abc 7 game 6 of the eastern conference finals between miami and boston gets underway in about an hour if the celtics win tonight, they will advance to face the warriors if the heat win. well that would force a decisive game 7 in miami. on sunday, so which sounds more interesting and match up with the nba's most historic franchise the celtics or the bay area versus south beach. i'm going to take the celtics easy call here. yeah, i think so too. i mean, they're both good matchups, but larry and i were talking yesterday between

newscasts which sounds the celtics that's going to be a great series because that's going to be a tough road a hoe for the warriors but also for the celtics, it's a good matchup. i think yeah, they have so many similarities. i think it's going to be boston. miami is so banged up. so many injuries if they could win tonight, it would be almost a miracle, but i would expect it would be warriors and celtics and the warriors will have home court advantage. so the first two games would be a chase and then a game seven if it went that far would also maybe the banged up miami miami team would be good for us. it would be fantastic if they could play miami i take miami a second about the food bets that we might. oh, i want the amazing, you know kind of cuban inspired food in miami, or do i want like chowder lobster sandwiches? awesome chowder go to dumpling time at thrive that they'll take care of you nba legend charles barkley. we'll call it his playful dislike for warriors fans got less playful last night.

community and ambassador program. i came to united states in 1982. i believe i i came from war torn laos. and it was right after the war we ended up in the refugee camp. my family was separated. i made a lot of mistakes throughout my time. i spent most of my time in a segregated housing unit and and the whole and maximum security. until 2012 i went to the shoe for the last time and decided to give myself a chance so succone you were 43 years old when you got out of prison started a new life. how much of being able to understand? who you were did that help you understand the world outside? it was everything knowing myself gave me an opportunity to understand others better. so next tuesday. i'll get you some more clothes. after the shower, okay by

getting to know myself and what motivates me what angers me and developing that understanding i was able to see myself in other people. and that helped me connect with them good. angel side yeah, thank you so much for being out here appreciate you, but i was giving an opportunity here in oakland chinatown to be an ambassador. i started work at five in the morning. i get up at 4:00. i'm at the door at 4:30. usually i come and scan the area people will come through here overturned trash can. cake piles of you know trash opening up garbage bag and making a mess. and if nobody cleans that up people feel like it's unsafe because nobody's taking care of the community. so that's why we're out here five in the morning cleaning and making sure that folks know there's somebody here that somebody's taking care of the community. somebody's watching, you know, you don't have to be afraid. it was very hard to gain the trust of the elder. i mean a lot of elders there they're not like find a

obi-wan kenobi debuts on disney plus reporter george panaccio from our sister station in los angeles has our preview. i've always thought there could be a cool story between revenge of the sith and a new hope and that's exactly what we found and developed and i i think people will feel the same way, you know obi one kenobi you and mcgregor returns to the role. he played in the three star wars prequels his character helped train anakin skywalker who then turned to the dark side as darth vader now obi-wan has his jedi eyes on anakin's son luke skywalker when the time he must be trained like you trained his father. mcgregor says since his star wars trilogy played out. he's felt more love for the film. from the kids who love them and so over the years they've grown up and i'm more and more i hear from people that the prequels are like their star wars films, you know and their relationship to my star wars films is like the relationship i had.

with carrie fisher and mark hamill and harrison ford's films when i was a kid. so that made me feel really warm about them again. there's definitely pressure with this project. you know, we're taking these huge iconic legacy characters and we're in between two trilogies, you know, so there's a there's a very big responsibility to the canon and you know, we truly wanted to respect everything that george had done but at the same time obviously we're trying to tell a new story. we've told a story that is complete it has a beginning in the middle and an end and whether you know the backstory or not it or maybe encourage you to go and find out you know, which would be cool. but um, i think anyone can enjoy this, i'm sure hope so in los angeles panaccio abc 7 news looks good, right obi-wan. kenobi is now streaming on disney plus disney as you know, is the parent company of abc 7
