7:03 am
toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." as you wake up in the west, we begin again with the news of a massacre in america. this time a deadly rampage turned a holiday party into horror. it happened wednesday at a social service center in san bernadino, california. 14 people were killed. another 17 are hurt. hundreds of people evacuated the complex after the shooters fled. >> the suspects are a married couple. police killed them a few hours later in a violent confrontation about a mile from the shooting scene. one officer was wounded. we have a team of correspondents covering all angles of this story. norah o'donnell is on the scene at the inland regional center in san bernadino. norah, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you and charlie. this was supposed to be a happy occasion. it was a holiday banquet. but it suddenly turned into an
7:04 am
active shooter scene. we're learning more this morning. they're keeping it cordoned off as they're going through, investigating. we also have new information about the husband and wife team who police say organized this massacre. we're going to start with carter evans, who is here with me. carter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah. the two gunmen were killed in a shootout with police just hours after the rampage. there was one police officer that was injured in that shooting. he's in the hospital, but his injuries are not life-threatening. as for the reason behind this massacre, that's still a mystery. the response out here is immense. the first reports of gunfire came around 11:00 a.m. local time. police say there were two assailants, a man and a woman. >> they came prepared to do what they did, as if they were on a
7:05 am
mission. >> each suspect had a long gun, a pistol, tactical type clothing that was loaded with magazines, extra magazines for a gun fight. >> a bunch of shots, shots going off like crazy, one right after the other. >> reporter: this man's wife could see the building where san bernadino county employees were attending a holiday party. what did your wife see? >> the guy outside dressed all in black with a big gun, just shooting at the window. >> reporter: terry petit's daughter holly texted him from inside the building. >> shooting at my work. people shot. in the office waiting for cops. >> reporter: but she's okay? >> pray for us. [ sirens ] >> reporter: some of the injured were treated at a triage center out while others were being evacuated by law enforcement, as caught on this cellphone video. >> just be cool, okay? >> reporter: the assailants
7:06 am
escaped and authorities placed all local government buildings on lockdown. they recorded a black suv fleeing the scene, and approximately four and a half hours later, at around 3:30 local time, police, hunting for the killers, riddled a black suv with gunfire in a shootout caught on video. >> one guy dead in the back of a car. >> reporter: people living nearby quickly took cover. >> we ducked down. they started shooting again down the street over there. just a rain of bullets everywhere. >> reporter: the two suspects killed were identified as 28-year-old u.s.-born syed farook and his wife, tashfeen malik. authorities still haven't determined a motive for the assault. >> i think that based upon what we have seen and based upon how they were equipped, there had to have been some degree of planning that went into this. so i don't think they just ran
7:07 am
home, put on these types of tactical clothes, grabbed guns, and came back on a spur of the moment thing. >> reporter: now, three explosive devices were found inside the building. they were all connected together. and the bomb squad last night detonated those devices. norah, as you know, more than a dozen people were injured in the shooting. they're still in the hospital. but we're not getting any word on their conditions right now. >> reporter: we'll get an update later this morning. carter, thank you so much. we mentioned that authorities are still trying to find more about those shooters. the suspects' suv is still sitting this morning where police caught up with it a mile or so from where we are. in fact you can see just how badly it was damaged during the shootout. so authorities want to learn everything they can about these shooters. soon after the massacre, police raided a home in nearby redlands that is connected to the married couple. david begnaud is near that house with reaction from the suspect's
7:08 am
family. david, good morning. >> reporter: norah, good morning. eight miles from where you are this morning is center street. behind me is police tape. it was evacuated, it was last night, and will be, we're told, for a good part of today, because the fbi is processing the crime scene, an apartment where the suspects lived. if you look, there is a small lexus car, sedan. the doors are open, the trunk is popped, so is the hood. the police earlier this morning busted out the window. they were worried there might be explosive inside. we're told that none were found. throughout the day, police will be here at the scene, processing the inside of that apartment. we're told the suspect lived here with his mother, his wife, and their six-year-old baby girl -- six-month-old baby girl. police in california have identified the two suspects as syed rizwan farook, an american citizen born in chicago and employed by the san bernadino county board of health, and tashfeen malik, a 27-year-old female, married to farook.
7:09 am
police say farook was at a holiday banquet with co-workers. he left abruptly and returned with his wife. shortly after, shots were fired. >> i am in shock that something like this would happen. >> reporter: farook's brother-in-law, farhan khan, said the couple was married for two years and had a six-month-old daughter. at a press conference last night with local muslim leaders, khan offered his condolences to the families of the victims and expressed disbelief and shock. >> i have no idea. i have no idea, why would he do that, why would he do something like this, i have absolutely no idea. >> reporter: late last night police used a battering ram to enter a home in redlands reportedly connected with the suspect, syed farook. police sent a robot into the home to search for explosive. syed farook and tashfeen malik were killed in the shootout.
7:10 am
both were dressed in tactical clothing, armed with assault rifles, and each had multiple magazines of ammunition attached to their clothing. police also discovered handguns in the suv. according to the atf, all four guns used in the shooting were purchased legally. this morning, san bernadino police have not provided us with a motive, but they have said this: they are not yet ready to rule out the potential of terrorism. norah, we can say this, the one thing they know for sure is that the two suspects killed were the only two people they believe were involved in the shooting. >> reporter: important information, david, thank you very much. this morning, people are remembering the lives of those lost in the deadly shooting. many gathered for a candlelight vigil last night in san bernadino to honor the 14 victims. john blackstone is at loma linda university medical center, where some of the survivors are being treated. john, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah.
7:11 am
here at the loma linda university medical center, this center received five patients from the shooting. two of them were critically wounded. now, this hospital is a level one trauma center, and the staff here trains for this kind of mass casualty crisis. >> i called my kids and said, if something happens to me, there's a shooting here, just be safe. >> reporter: panic, chaos, and confusion followed the gunfire in san bernadino. >> she told me she was shot in her side. she told me not to come. these guys are still at large, you know that, right? >> reporter: we told her, stay down, i love her, and came down here, because she never responded. >> she said, steph, i've been shot, i was at a work christmas party and i don't know what's going to happen, and i'm scared, and i love you. >> not knowing, is she okay, is she going to live, where was she
7:12 am
shot. >> reporter: their sister was among the 17 survivors hit by bullets. >> she said that the shooters came in and the just started unloading rounds on the people that were in the building with her. >> we're okay now because we found out she's doing fine. she did have one gunshot wound to her back. >> reporter: hundreds of people were on the facility's ground when the gunfire began. >> most of the people that were wounded, most of the victims were centrally located in one area of the facility. >> reporter: victims were met at loma linda by a prepared staff, who were troubled by the day's attack. >> we had five patients brought to the hospital. we're all shaken by this, all bothered by it. we're treating people that didn't need to get hurt today. >> reporter: here at loma linda, while the medical staff was tending to the wounded, police responded here to a bomb threat that they called credible. now, in the end, after a search, no explosive were found. but norah, this facility remains on high alert.
7:13 am
>> reporter: all right, john, thank you so much. we spoke with san bernadino mayor carrie davis earlier this morning. he praised the city's response to this horrifying attack. >> as you know, this has been a tragic, shocking event that took place yesterday. it started around 11:00 in the morning. i received notification of it about 11:25. i was at a county transportation authority meeting. i immediately left there and went to city hall. >> reporter: these are social service employees. they work for the department of health. they're usually caring for people. where were they targeted? >> we certainly don't have the motive at this particular time. we would certainly characterize this as a senseless event, a tragic, violent crime committed against innocent people. we certainly had no forethought that this was coming. it was a christmas party event.
7:14 am
i think it's difficult to really understand and -- understand the magnitude of the impact this has on families over the course of the unfolding time and days. their lives have changed. >> reporter: what do you want your community to know? >> i certainly want them to know that we mourn with those victims who have been tragically impacted by this event. these violent crimes need to be effectively dealt with. they need to be prosecuted. >> reporter: mayor, when you hear that this is the worst shooting since sandy hook and newtown, connecticut, what does that make you think? >> these events, they shock communities. they cause communities to reprioritize those things that are most important.
7:15 am
they draw on their faith, they draw closer to family. and they realize life is precious. we need to do what we can to make sure we make the best choices we can, maintain the standard that doesn't drop to the level of those who committed these crimes. >> reporter: mayor, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you, norah. >> reporter: it just so happened that as we learned about this shooting, i was interviewing president obama at the white house. and he is now calling on lawmakers around the country to pass tougher gun laws. >> we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world. and there's some steps we can take, not to eliminate he's one of these mass shootings, but to improve the odds that they don't happen as frequently. common sense gun safety laws, stronger background checks.
7:16 am
we have a no fly list where people can't get on planes, but those same people who we don't allow to fly could go into a store right now in the united states and buy a firearm, and there's nothing that we can do to stop them. we should come together on a bipartisan bases at every level of government to, you know, make these rare as opposed to normal. >> reporter: and we're going to have much more from san bernadino throughout the morning. just ahead, we'll hear from a worker who was actually inside that building behind me when the suspects started shooting. he took this video, look at this, from his iphone. we'll see more of that ahead. charlie and gayle, back to you in new york. >> thanks, norah. british war planes are joining the american-led bombing campaign against isis in syria. royal air force jets took off from a base in cyprus, striking targets near the border of iraq.
7:17 am
that oil field is thought to be a major source of engine for isis. the bombings followed an emotional ten-hour debate in britain's parliament. they voted by a 2 to 1 margin to back the attacks. >> gayle was at the white house to interview the president about a variety of issues including the fight against isis. the interview took place in the white house, in the cabinet room. she asked about his decision to send about 200 special operations troops to carry out raids in iraq and syria. >> reporter: you have said no boots on the ground. but this is almost tripling the amount of forces you've approved there. is this going back on your word, does this mean we'll have greater involvement there? >> when i said no boots on the ground, i think the american people understood generally we're not going to do an iraq-style invasion of syria with battalions moving across
7:18 am
the desert. what i've been very clear about is that we're going to systematically squeeze and ultimately destroy isil. and that requires us having a military component to that. and the 65-country coalition that we've put together has been striking isil americaslemercile. we've been able to push back isil from territory they've taken, both in iraq and syria. and we're developing partnerships, although they're not as strong as we want yet, with local tribes and sunnis who are willing to fight isil. and what i've said is that we're going to continually modify and adjust our strategy based on those things that work and those things that may not work. and our special forces are the best in the world. they're not going to single handedly destroy isil. but what they can do is give us
7:19 am
greater situational awareness on the ground, generate intelligence, work with local forces to develop smarter strategies, help direct where air strikes are going to make the most difference. we're going to continue to, you know, push hard. and the good news is, coming out of paris, we're seeing countries like germany and great britain that had been hesitant about guessing too actively involved to become part of the solution. >> in our next hour the president talks about the potential isis threat at home and the fears of a paris-style attack inside the united states. that is ahead on "cbs this morning." the new congressional report calls the secret service an agency in crisis. ahead, new revelations of serious security breaches, including a per,,

.. 14 people are dead, 18 are hurt, in the shooting in san bernadino, california. >> the husband and wife team are identified as 28-year-old syed farook and 27-year-old tashfeen malik. investigators have been at the couple's house in nearby redlands all night long, trying to gain more information about a motive here. norah o'donnell is leading our coverage this morning, near the scene of the massacre in san
7:31 am
bernardino. norah, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, gayle. that's right, some of the most crucial questions here remain unanswered, including the motive of those two suspects. what we do know is that 14 lives ended tragically. a short time ago, i spoke with timmy hilliard. he's a social workerer at the inland regional center behind me, and he took video of the aftermath of the shooting. it shows s.w.a.t. team members carrying out bodies and placing them on the ground. >> i was in building 2 on the third floor of the regional center. >> reporter: in fact you took out your iphone. >> yes, i did. >> reporter: and you had a bird's eye view of the entrance and the exit that the shooters went in. we're looking at that video right now. what did you see first? >> first what i saw was the s.w.a.t. team coming into the
7:32 am
backdoor, about five or six, storming into a and b, looking for an active shooter. the west side of the building, there was police standing at the door, going in for an active shooter. as well on the back, there was a gentleman deceased on the bench, i assumed, as well a female, about 10 to 15 feet away, laying in a pool of blood, deceased as well. >> reporter: you think they were trying to flee and shot as they were trying to to flee? >> correct. the female, due to her position, appeared to have been fleeing. the gentleman was having a smoke break and shot either on the exit or entrance of the assa assailan assailants. >> reporter: did you see any of the shooters? >> no, unfortunately my office was on the north side, the shooters were on the south side. i got there 15 minutes after the shooting. that's when the police department were pulling body after body out of auditorium a
7:33 am
and b. >> reporter: when did you realize how grave the situation was? >> it was probably about the sixth body coming out, just seeing the effect of it all. at first i saw the two bodies, okay, it's two bodies, it may not be that bad. then the third body, fourth body, fifth body. by the 12 body, i stopped counting. >> reporter: you saw 12 bodies? >> at least. i think i counted up to 13. i was seeing at the ground level, the police acquired the reflecti reflections from me, i decided to stop shooting with my ipad. >> reporter: when was the training you had for an active shooter? >> i believe last week. i believe we have another one coming up in february. >> reporter: so you had just been through an active shooter training that had been put in place after newtown and sandy hook? >> correct.
7:34 am
we have an active shooter where different teams come together, s.w.a.t. and everybody, fbi, homeland security, with the school district that i'm a part of here in san bernadino. >> reporter: what lessons will you take from this? >> so many. don't take anything for granted. i mean, i have a two and a half-year-old daughter. sorry. so i thought about her. and then everything else i could. and just realized that, you know, when you're going into work, it may be your last time coming in. and thought about a lot of different things. >> reporter: you thought about your daughter? >> yeah. >> reporter: i'm glad you're okay. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> reporter: you can imagine just how scary this was, for so many people and their families. this scene is now secure this morning. he's actually -- his car is stuck inside. he said he can't go pick up his daughter because his car seat is in the car. he's probably going to have to wait until next week. still, this morning for authorities there are a lot of
7:35 am
unanswered questions about how this all happened here. charlie and gayle? >> thanks, norah. there are many questions, including motive, including whether this was organized, and why that location. mary o'toole is a senior fbi profiler. she joins us from washington. she has 25 years experience investigating mass shootings, including the columbine massacre. good morning. and there was no suicide at the end or suicide by cop. and those three things to me are the most remarkable.
7:36 am
it does suggest to me after the shooting occurred, these shooters intended to go someplace else, because they could not at the end of the day go home and take their six-month-old baby from their mother-in-law and call it a day. something else was going to happen. >> does this in any way suggest terrorism? we don't know motive, but they're not ruling out terrorism. these events say what to you? >> that's right, they do. and i think terrorism certainly has to be a very important consideration here as the fact pattern begins to evolve and tighten up. it did occur in a venue where the male shooter had, you know, fellow employees, had colleagues. there are some who say this was very personal. that may be true, but it also may have made it a softer target for him. i don't believe, based on how strategic the plan was, that he
7:37 am
had a fight, and then the fight precipitated the attack. that doesn't make any sense at all behaviorally. the fight or disagreement, if in fact that did occur, could have been staged. but the plan itself overall was extremely strategic, well-thought-out. that would have taken days, weeks, even months to put together. >> that is exactly what the san bernadino police chief is saying too, mary ellen, that it's highly unlikely that an argument caused this, they were so well-planned, they were dressed, he has an argument, goes home, comes back with his wife. co-workers described him as reserved, polite, appeared to be leaving the american dream, married, with a six-month-old baby. what do you think about that? >> i hear that all the time. if you come across as quiet and normal, people accept you as being nonthreatening. but you don't know what goes on
7:38 am
behind closed doors in someone's home. so those are simply trappings of normalcy. they're not indicative of violent or threatening behavior in the future. my experience has been that the general public does not know how to read for signs of dangerousness. clearly in this case if these two individuals wanted to carry out the attack that they did in fact carry out, they're going to behave in a normal, quiet -- be able to get along type of fashion with other people because they don't want to have this mission interrupted. so that those trappings of normalcy are not indicative of future violence. >> thank you so much. >> you're very welcome. we know these deadly shootings have become much more common. in our next hour, how police tactics and advice are changing to address the growing threat. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." a deadly police shooting in san francisco caught on video is
7:39 am
under investigation today. we want to warn you, though, that this video is disturbing. [ gunshots ] >> oh, my god! >> san francisco's police chief says a man armed with a knife moved toward those officers before they opened fire. they had stopped the suspect after a stabbing nearly an hour earlier. the chief says that officers ordered him to drop the knife, and when he didn't, they used other nonlethal weapons. but they say the man kept coming at them, so they had to shoot him. time to show you other headlines from around the globe. britain's "guardian" says blade runner oscar pistorius is now guilty of murder. south africa's top appeals court this morning overturned a lesser manslaughter conviction. the double amputee sprinter killed his girlfriend in 2013. pistorius is under house arrest but faces a new sentence of at least 15 years. two army pilots died when

8:04 am
this story since the beginning. >> reporter: authorities are still searching for a motive for this shooting and this morning the suv is still sitting where it was damaged so badly yesterday. the police chase and shoot-out happened about four hours after the initial rampage. at least 20 officers were involved. as for 28-year-old syed farook and his wife ---the first reports of gun fire came at 11:00 local time. the san bernardino said the two assailants came prepared as if they were on a mission. both had semi-automatic rifles, pistols and masks and clothing that was loaded with with magazine after magazine, they were prepared for a gun fight and cbs news has learned that all four of hose gthose guns we

purchased legally. >> reporter: let's go back now to gayle and charlie in new york. >> the shooting does not -- -- former new york city police officer. look at what they are looking at and tell us, how do you determine motiativmotive? what are the clues that indicate how this happened and why? >> people leave trails, text trails and e-mails. not very often, but often. and the wife, having come into the countyry from saudi arabia, and it will be very painstaking and it's got to be evidence based. what we want to know is that things we know may turn out to be erroneous, so we have to stay

it wherever it takes us. we shouldn't use this to light up the country, and we'll wait and see. but this man may be wrapping himself into some radicalization to get himself some attention. >> wouldn't there be some obvious signs in terms of people at work and elsewhere. >> maybe unraveling?g?g? ese people have been able to be stable on the surface -- this is a cbs news special report. i'm charlie rose with gail king in new york. norah o'donnell is in san bernardino, california. president obama spoke a few minutes ago in the oval office. he reacted to the massacre of 14 people at a social services center. >> the suspect is, a husband an wife, were killed in police
8:08 am
shootout. >> reporter: this was a haistil scheduled meeting in the oval office. the president really wanted to speak to reporters following a session with his national security team including the fbi director and the attorney general. we know it is still unclear to the white house what the motive was here or whether this was a terrorist attack. what we do know from the atf is that all four of those guns were legally purchased, including semiautomatic weapons that were used to kill 14 people, injure many, many more. that detail is going to be something that you hear the white house focus in on. remember, this is the 18th time since the president came to office that he has made public comments about a mass shooting in the united states. he has gotten increasingly passionate and emotional in his calls for some form of regulation to try to tighten what could be gun ownership issues, other loopholes that he sees that have allowed for these kind of situations to occur.
8:09 am
and he called for some bipartisan action just a moment ago. let's listen to the president. >> yesterday a tragedy occurred in san bernardino, and as i said in the immediate aftermath, our first order of business is to send our thoughts and prayers to the families of those who have been killed and to pray for a speedy recovery for those who were injured during this terrible attack. i had a chance to speak with mayor davis of san bernardino, and i thanked law enforcement in that city for their timely and professional response. i indicated to mayor davis that the entire country is thinking about that community and thanked him and his office for the way that they've been able to manage extraordinarily difficult situation with calm and clarity, and very much appreciated the
8:10 am
coordination that's been taking place between local law enforcement and the fbi investigators. at this stage we do not yet know why this terrible event occurred. we do know that the two individuals who were killed were equipped with weapons and appeared to have access to additional weaponry at their homes, but we don't know why they did it. we don't know at this point the extent of their plans. we do not know their motivations, and i just received a briefing from fbi director comey as well as attorney general lynch indicating the course of their investigation.
8:11 am
at this point this is now an fbi investigation. that's been done in cooperation and consultation with local law enforcement. it is possible that this was terrorist related, but we don't know. it's also possible that this was workplace related, and until the fbi has been able to conduct what are going to be a large number of interviews, until we understand the nature of the workplace relationship between the individual and his superiors because he worked with the organization where this terrible shooting took place, until all of the social media and electronic information has been exploited, we're just not going to be able to answer those questions, but what i can assure
8:12 am
the american people is we're going to get to the bottom of this and that we are going to be vigilant, as we always are, in getting the facts before we issue any decisive judgments in terms of how this occurred. more broadly, as i said yesterday, we see the prevalence of these kinds of mass shootings in this country, and i think so many americans sometimes feel as if there's nothing we can do about it. we are fortunate to have an extraordinary combination of law enforcement and intelligence and military that work every single day to keep us safe, but we can't just leave it to our
8:13 am
professionals to deal with the problem of these kinds of horrible killings. we all have a part to play, and i do think that as the investigation moves forward, it's going to be important for all of us, including our legislatures, to see what we can do to make sure that when individuals decide that they want to do somebody harm, we're making it a little harder for them to do it because right now it's just too easy, and, you know, we're going to have to i think search ourselves as a society to make sure that we can take basic steps that would make it harder, not impossible, but harder for individuals to get access to weapons. so there will be i think a press conference later today led by the attorney general, director comey will continue to brief not
8:14 am
only the press but also members of congress about the course of the investigation. our expectation is that this may take some time before we're able to sort it all through. there may be mixed motives involved in this, which makes the investigation more complicated, but rest assured that we will get to the bottom of this and in the meantime once again i want to offer our deepest condolences to those who have been affected by this terrible tragedy and for those who have been injured. we hope that they get well quickly and that they're able to be back together with their families. thank you very much, everybody. >> i'm charlie rose with gail king in new york and norah o'donnell in san bernardino. the president expressing grief for the victims in san bernardino, praising the police there, and saying we do not know
8:15 am
whether this was terror related or work related or something else, but that the fbi is now leading the investigation. gayle? >> norah o'donnell, we're going to go back to you in san bernardino. it was interesting for the president to say we need to figure out a way to make it harder for people who want to do harm because right now it's too easy for people what want to do so. >> reporter: number one, the president noting that the fbi is now leading this investigation, that he has been briefed by his fbi director as well as his attorney general. i think that's significant. two, the president saying that it is a possible terrorist related, it is possibly workplace related and at the end he said it may be a mixed nature because they have to understand what his relationship was with his superiors since it was people he had worked with in the past. he said very clearly we are going to get to the bottom of this. we are going to be vigilant. but then as you noted, gayle, he also said, look, let's not feel
8:16 am
powerless in this situation. you know, that americans are starting to feel they can do nothing about this. we can't just leave it to the professionals. we all have a part to play, and that's when the president talked about the public policy response that he's been hoping for, which is that not only in state legislatures but a federal response about making it harder for individuals who want to cause harm to get their hands on guns. we know from our reporting and speaking with the atf that all of these guns used were believed to have been purchased legally. we don't know who purchased them, that's not yet been made clear, but they've been purchased legally so that's going to be more of the investigation as we learn more about who these two suspects are, mr. farook and his wife, 28 and 27 years old. he is described as very religious. why he decided to do this even though his brother said it seems unfathomable. so all that and more with the fbi leading this investigation. charlie and gayle. >> the president's conversation took place after he had met with the fbi director and also the
8:17 am
attorney general. our coverage continues throughout the day on this cbs station and on our 24-hour digital network cbsn. there will be a full report on the cbs evening news with scott pelley. many of you will return now to "cbs this morning." this has been a cbs news special report. for norah o'donnell, i'm,, ok, we're here. here's dad. mom. the twins. aunt alice... you didn't tell me aunt alice was coming. of course. don't forget grandpa. can the test drive be over now? maybe just head back to the dealership? don't you want to meet my family? yep, totally. it's practically yours, but we still need your signature. the volkswagen sign

8:19 am
police are adjusting their tactics. >> first responding patrol officers are expected to go in to try to find that threat and stop the killing. >> reporter: ron hosco is a former assistant director of the fbi. >> they are not waiting for a s.w.a.t. team that may be 15 minutes or an hour behind. >> reporter: less than two weeks ago, the new york city police department held a three-hour active shooter drill in the city's subway system. >> these exercises are necessary, particularly in light of what is going on in the world at this point in time. >> everybody stay calm. it's probably just a drill. angeles county sheriff's deputy posted a video online on how to deal with a shooting of this kind p.m. >> lock or barricade the doors. >> always spread out. don't huddle together. that creates one easy target. >> reporter: according to the department of homeland security, active shooter incidents typically last between ten and
8:20 am
15 minutes. washington, d.c. police chief kathy lanier spoke with anderson cooper during a "60 minutes" last month. >> i say if you can get out, that is your best and first option. if you're in a position to take the gunman down and out, it's the best option for saving lives before police can get there and that is kind of counterintuitive to what cops tell people. we tell people don't take action, call 911, don't intervene in the robbery, you know? we have never told me take action. this is a different scenario. >> you're telling them that now, though? >> we are. >> reporter: police also say be aware of your surroundings and come up with at least two exit plans to get out of the building if you need to get out fast. gayle? >> we have a new set of rules. charlie, now that we have the phrase active shooter is now part of our vocabulary. a different day. thank you very much, kris van cleave. a morning of grieving we want to show you how a super bowl champ brougk.

good morning. i'm liza battalones with your "kcbs traffic." traffic delays through the marina district in san francisco following this morning's apartment fire. lombard street remains shut down both ways between broderick and divisadero. this is causing major backups in san francisco just beyond the picture, traffic backed up on doyle drive because of the closure. it is causing delays as well onto park presidio. you can see that right here from these live caltrans pictures. we are going to move on to the rest of the commute. if you plan on make the bay bridge drive, that's also stacked up through the
8:28 am
macarthur maze with the metering lights on. once on the bridge, traffic continues sluggish in pockets all the way across the span. it's also going to be a slow morning through the san mateo bridge. no accidents just a lot of traffic in that westbound direction. roberta. considering we started tracking this cold front three days ago, the timing has been consistent. and, in fact, our live hi-def doppler radar is now picking up some radar returns in the form of light to moderate rain spreading from cloverdale into the santa rosa area. also, if we zoom on in you see these pockets of moderate rain towards healdsburg and traversing towards monte rio and bodega bay and light rain showeraround inverness and now heading into forest knolls. this cold front will sag from the north to the front and everybody gets wet. we could see up to an inch of rain in the wettest spots of the north bay by about this time tomorrow. just scattered hit-and-miss showers for the evening commute. we are in the 40s and 50s going up to the low 60s today. dry over the weekend. how do
8:32 am
we stop this. we want to hear from out that. but why don't you, after you make your speech today, called the president and say i'm going to come down pennsylvania avenue and let's you and i start off and do something about this right now? i'm speaker of the house, you're president, you're in your fourth quarter and i'm in the beginning of my job as speaker. >> first, charlie, this is just a horrible event. my stomach turns like any american when they see this kind of violence and you can't help but watch this on tv and yell at the tv and say, what can we do to prevent this from happening? obviously, we are thinking of those things. this particular shooting in san bernardino, there's you some too much unknowns before we speculate about the origin of this one. but what we have seen in a common theme among many of these mass shootings is the theme of mental illness. and we need to fix our mental illness laws, our policies. they are outdated. and that is something that we are working on right now. we are moving a bill through the
8:33 am
process here, the murphy legislation, because we think that is one of the more consistent and common themes is people with mental illness are getting guns and conducting these mass shootings. now, without knowing the facts in san bernardino, we also know that there are home-grown jihadists and we also know there are isis inspirational events and we need to figure out how to handle that as well. to there are multiple things that need to be addressed and we are working on those that need to be addressed, including whether somebody is coming here or inspiring someone to do these things, because of their audiological or religious events or the common theme we know -- >> i suspect a lot of people would agree with you and most would agree on that. here is what the president said and why i suggested there might be a conversation between you and the president. he said we have a no-fly list where people can't get on planes, but these seem people, whom we do not allow to fly, could get into a store right now
8:34 am
in the united states and buy a firearm. and there is nothing we can do to stop them. >> well, on this particular issue, we do have a constitution. citizens have a due process rights and anyone can just be arbitrarily placed on the no-fly list. in fact, that's happened quite a bit. people have been placed on the no-fly list mistakenly and innocently. so we need to respect due process. when we rush to act tho on these things let's make sure we act accordingly and according to citizens rights and to the constitution. oh, let's make sure what we do actually solves these problems. so that is why i think when you take a pause and see what is happening and why we are working on mental health already. with respect to the no-fly list, it's important to remember people have due process rights in this country and we can't have some government official put them arbitrarily on a list. if someone is suspected of terrorism in this country and someone in this country we think is planning a terrorist attack,
8:35 am
we should arrest them.% this is something that should be dealt with by law enforcement in a more pronounced position than maybe, you know, banning due process lights on a no-fly list. if we think somebody is committing terrorism we should pick them up. >> i hear, you mr. speaker. many stopped me and said we know how this story is going to go. we will hear the stories of the heroes who survived and the stories about the victims and the stories about the shooters. >> and nothing gets done, right. >> ultimately, that's right. nothing changes. surely there can be something that can stop people from getting an ak-47. in this particular case in san bernardino, it's being reported that two of the weapons recovered were bought legally in this country. what does it take to move the needle in congress is the frustration we have. >> what we are trying to do is find out the facts and make sure what our response is actually addresses the problems without -- without infringing upon the rights of law abiding citizens. that is the --
8:36 am
>> but it keeps happening. >> we have citizens who have rights to be protected. again, gayle, one of the common themes here, this is is why we are really serious about our mental health legislation because a lot of these people are getting guns who are mentally unstable who should not be getting guns and this is a gap in our laws that we feel needs to be filled. look. if you're not outraged when you turn on the tv and see these shootings there is something wrong with you. we want to get it right, gayle. we want to make sure we don't violate a person's rights if they are a law abiding citizen. >> can i just say this to you? a mass shooting is described as four or more victims. according to shooting tracker.com just the fact we have a shooting tracker.com speaks volumes. since january 354 mass shootings in this country. you must be frustrated as well. >> i am, gayle. that's why -- again, i don't want to keep saying the same thing over and over. >> yeah, but. >> but one of the things we have noticed there are mental health issues here and we haven't fixed these laws in years and they are
8:37 am
discombobulated and don't make sense. people who are getting guns and diagnosed with mental illnesses are slipping through the cracks and slipping through our system and we need to patch that and then when we talk about making sure that -- that criminals, people that should not get guns don't get guns we need to keep enforcing the laws and there are no gaps in that enforce want. >> mr. speaker, what is required to make sure people will not be saying a month from now we are facing the same situation? >> well, we are receiving some resistance from our mental health bill right now as we speak. >> you talk to the president about the mental health bill and the president will talk to you about his own concerns about who is allowed to get what kind of guns. >> right. by the way, that is part of the mental health bill. that is part of the discussion surrounding the mental health bill which is who gets guns and who should get guns. we have to make sure in our rush to do something, we don't violate a person's individual rights in this country. >> but due process rights -- >> executive division of the
8:38 am
government are equally concerned about violating people's rights? >> well, some proposals here do violate people's rights. the no-fly list is a perfect example. we are going to -- we are going to violate a person's rights without giving them any due process? you have to think these things through before we have knee-jerk reactions is my point. >> what about the people who aren't mentally ill and committing these crimes? >> are they people who got guns illegally or barred from the law of getting a gun and got it any way? therefore we have a gap enforcing our laws. is it a law allibidining citize all of a sudden snapped or something like that? you're ner going to have in a free society the ability to prevent anything, to prevent everything you want to prevent. >> the president said that. >> a free society, in a free society you're going to have problems. the question is in a free society, while protecting our individual rights, are there gaps in laws, are there gaps in enforcement of laws that need to be filled? that is what we are looking at right now. >> you're going to speak to the congress this afternoon around
8:39 am
around 12:30 or 1:00, i assume. where do you put this as a priority for you and the congress? >> so here is my concern about everything. i don't think the country is headed in the right direction, charlie and gayle. i really believe we are on the wrong track. i really believe we are -- we are at risk of severing this legacy of leaving the next generation better off in this country. we would be the first generation to do that and we are on track of doing that. i feel that we here in congress, if we don't like the direction the country is headed on any number of issues, we can't be an opposition party yelling no. we have to be a proposition party and we have to show people what our ideas are so we need to be big, we need to be bold, we need to be specific, and in 2016 we have an obligation to give the people of this country a choice so they can choose is what direction the country goes. that is what i'm going to lay out today, which is we are an opposition party, yes, but here is how we become a proposition party and, more importantly, here is how we give the choice to the people of this country so that they get to decide the
8:40 am
direction the nation is going and a whole range of issues, poverty, economic roles, upward mobility, you have affordable health care. we have to say to the country, here is a better way forward and if you agree with us and you choose us to lead, then we will do this. we need a mandate and we need to offer people a choice and that is the kind of vision i'm going to lay out this afternoon. >> when will you talk to the president? >> i talk to the president fairly regularly, actually. i don't know. i call him sometimes and he calls me sometimes so i don't have something marked on my calendar. >> thank you, speaker ryan. >> we talk fairly often. >> thank you very much, speaker ryan for your time today. we do appreciate ,,

>> as i said when i was growing up here, i said if you want to see alaska get in the air a bit and you can find it. when you live in a state as vast as this, we travel by river and we travel by plane. our idea of space is different than any anybody in the lower 48. the size of connecticut is a different situation here in other towns. we get in a plane and hop 15 minutes and we could be in the mountains and we can see anything. a moose right there? >> oh, yeah. there he is. >> plenty of time to go hunting! ♪ >> i grew up living in the wilderness and i hunt and i fish. >> reporter: he may have grow up a typically alaska but his hometown of north powell is not exactly average. >> we in north pole embrace the christmas spirit. ♪ >> we are the home of santa claus. we have the candy cane light poles. ♪ >> we love it. it's a year-round thing for us. >> reporter: so how did a kid from here get to here? >> the green bay packers are
