was among those who were the first responders on the scene. i worked at the mall that so many people were running from, including my aunts and cousins who were inside. thankfully they were safe. but 20 people and 20 families that are grieving this morning and they are not coming home from the day of shopping they were allegedly targeted because they were hispanic and look just like me. this community is waking upin shock and disbelief that something like this could happen here most of the families, like i said, they were back to school shopping and then they had to dive for cover just to escape gunshots some were not so lucky one couple died trying to shield sha their baby >> i text him. we're at the unification center and we're praying to god that you're on the bus and you'll be here

but they didn't come >> the baby suffered two fractured and some bruises but miraculously survived. the parents also leave behind two toddlers, 2 and 5. the rampage started out in the parking lot with the alleged gunman shooting his way into that store miguel is here with details. >> reporter: as the on slot of gunfire erupts, the first 911 calls flood in at 10:39 a.m. >> they were pulling people out. shots covered in blood >> reporter: the active shooter spraying round after round int a crowd of families shopping for school supplies. the gunman seen here with his ak-47 rifle wearing eye protection >> he saw people running from him. pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

increased rapid fire to get as he could. >> reporter: with frantic shoppers running and others paralyzed with fear stores go into lockdown. >> had to run down >> reporter: 10:45 a.m., six minutes after the killing spree began, police arrived. soon after the suspect patrick crusius surrenders they found a racist manifesto and the 21-year-old was targeting certain victims. you say the suspect has been cooperating. in what way? >> he has been volunteering information on his own >> reporter: with 20 dead, the wounded were everywhere. shopping carts becoming stretchers >> everywhere and i said i need to find my daughter. >> reporter: many desperate to find loved ones. >> i got tired of waiting and waiting and waiting and i want to know where my mom is.

unleashing round after round inside that walmart, philip, they took him into custody peacefully no gunfire exchanged before they took him and proceeded to ask him question after question and at this point in time, he was cooperative. police did not elaborate what was said over the course of that questioning which lasted several hours yesterday right here in el paso the other thing, we need to know the distance he came to arrive at this point. he is from allen, which is a suburb from dallas an eight to ten-hour drive from el paso and we don't know where he purchased that ak-47 but we believe it was near that area and then proceeded to make that long drive to el paso to this walmart where he started shooting in the, pai parking lot before making his way inside they're suearching his home and two other locations. the scene of the walmart will

remain a lock down scene for the next few days because police are gathering whatever they can in this area. cars that were there on saturday remaining there right now. el paso pd telling everyone, we're sorry, we need to keep this a secure, contained crime scene as we continue to build this case going forward. >> eerie to see a couple days later and all those cars remain. morgan, thank you so much. less than 14 hours after the violence in el paso, gunfire erupted in dayton, ohio. you may find some of this video from that scene disturbing people were lining up outside popular bars and restaurants on saturday night nine people were killed and dozens were hurt in less than a minute cathy park is in dayton this morning. what more are we learning about the investigation that is going on there >> philip, good morning to you the investigation still very much in the preliminary stages and we were able to get a better timeline on how this shooting took place

1:05 yesterday morning that's when shots were initially fired. 30 seconds after that, that's when officers were able to confront the suspect and eventually kill the gunman we're told that the suspect had on body armor, a mask and also had .223 caliber rifle we are told if that man actually got into this bar behind me, he could have killed more people. we were actually able to talk to a lot of witnesses and they were told, obviously, this is a chaotic scene. one individual had to take cover for safety take a listen. >> it continued to happen. like it was like pop, pop, pop i just saw people on the ground like crawling to the bathroom and i just went because it was like either go to the bathroom or go out the back door. >> in total, nine killed 27 injured one person remains i condition. and last night the mayor was

able to reopen the street and hold a vigil thousands of people turned out a very emotional evening people were crying and people had signs saying free hugs this community is very much in mourning, but pulling together, coming together after this tragedy. i also do want to point out that the bar where the shooting took place but it happened, once again, outside in this area. this bar, there is a sign outside the door saying they will reopen later on today guys, back to you. >> 1,600 miles away and we're feeling similar ways cathy park in dayton, ohio, thank you. these latest shooting the debate over gun laws rupert murdoch owned "new york post" using their front page to call on the president to ban weapons of war for more on the political fallout and president trump's reaction, here's nbc's kelly o'donnell. >> reporter: president trump offered condolences.
