♪ ♪ >> i thought it was a drill at first, so i pull out my phone quickly because i want to record what's going on. and it's just a coincidence when i started recording that he shot into our class. ( gunshots ) ( screaming ) >> holy (bleep)! holy (bleep)! oh, my god! oh my god! ( gunshots ) ( screaming ) >> i checked nick's pulse. i couldn't reach helena. she was farther away. but nick was right next to me, so i checked his pulse, and so did sam. and then i saw nick and helena were dead.
8:01 pm
>> i called my mom at, like, the same time dylan called the police, and she could hear the gunshots. she could hear the fire alarm, people screaming. >> your mom? >> yeah. and i told her-- i was like, i checked their pulses. i was holding helena's hand, and my mom could hear all these things, and i told her to hang up. >> within seconds, we were all cowering in corners of the classroom and looking through that front door, and saw that barrel of the gun coming through and just shooting, trying to aim at students in the classroom. >> when the swat team came in, they just said, "run."
8:02 pm
>> let's go! let's go! let's go! run, run, run! >> "run and put your hands up and run. and don't look down." >> the suspect is going to be a white male, possibly nikolas cruz. >> a lot of people have been telling me that the video really made people realize that thisht. but in regards to school shootings, you haven't seen your friends perish the way we have. >> they say that tougher gun laws do not decrease gun violence. we call b.s.! that us kids don't know what we're talking about, that we're too young to understand how the government works! we call b.s.! we're trying to get people to stop dying.
8:03 pm
that was the beginning of, like, who i am now, what has happened. i'm not the same person because, like, all of that information has traveled at, like, light-speed. the fact that 100 people have tried to follow me in the past half hour, i got tweeted at by zendaya, which is... do you know how much i love zendaya? >> you're trending on twitter. >> i know. >> it wasn't even, like, an intentional, we all grouped together. it was we all had these different things that we were saying and different things we were doing that people were responding to, and that was just kind of a natural push to get us to come together and for us to become, like, a united force. >> on the day of the shooting, i got my camera and got on my bike and rode as fast as i could three miles from my house to the school to get as much video and to get as many interviews as i
8:04 pm
could, because i knew that this could not be another mass shooting. >> this is not about us. >> what we are doing is telling the truth. >> this is not about us. this has never been about us. this is about the movement. this is about the people who have died-- the heroes, those who have suffered. >> we have been talking about this for the past three days, nonstop, and they haven't done a single damn thing. they've tweeted about it. president trump was here for 20 minutes. >> it's... it's very sad. >> on friday, the president visited parkland school shooting victims but ignored questions on gun control. >> do our gun laws need to be changed, mr. president? >> but the people who actually have the opportunity to make the change are doing-- excuse my language-- jack (bleep). they have done not a single damn thing. >> tomorrow, we are announcing the "march for our lives." >> today on "face the nation," teenagers at a florida school map out a new national movement to curb gun violence. >> what we have set up right now-- we have a web site, "march
8:05 pm
for our lives." we're going to be doing a match in march on washington, where we get students from all over the country are going to be joining us. the adults let us down. >> everyone knows how unbelievable she was. we loved her so much. and for this to happen, man, for this... it's just, really... it's really messed up, man, because nobody should have to go through this-- burying a kid. you put your kid in a school, and you think, you know, "how could this happen in a school like that?" it's great that the kids are out there together, and they have a voice. you know, i feel their pain. but if they're going to concentrate on gun control, i think they're wasting their time. i would tell them to focus their energy on something that's achievable, that we could accomplish right now.
8:06 pm
what we need right now in this country is school safety, a perimeter around a school, just like there is at a courthouse. the new norm's going to be-- at a school in the future, it's going to be like going to the airport. that's what society has brought us to, and that's the way it has to be. >> cbs news learned the suspect, nikolas cruz, purchased at least seven rifles over the last year. >> i looked up, and i saw him standing at the window. and he lacked any expression at all, actually, which is probably the most gruesome factor of it all. this entrance wound was from shrapnel, and it was lodged into my cheek and behind my eyeball. and then, this right here-- which is weird, i can still feel the metal. here, here, and then all along my cheek is shrapnel. and then, i have multiple sites
8:07 pm
in my legs. >> this is insane. how many-- it feels like it's been weeks. it does. and how many days has it been? five, four? >> not even, right? >> alfonso's on the phone with, like, some spanish network. >> this all started at my house. we've just been there. >> how about emma? >> i haven't seen her in, like, 20 minutes. the original goals of "never again" were to make one center where we could all be together and grieve and demand change in one spot. >> we were trying to focus on what would get the most people behind us, who can we send out to which interviews? we need to be there about 6:20. >> everybody's on computers. everybody's making calls, everybody's trying to remember to eat. >> cnn, 6:20. we have to be there at 6:20. >> shame on you! shame on you!
8:08 pm
>> dozens of high school students called for action on gun control, even posing as corpses outside the white house. >> oh, my god. they are lying down right now. >> who? >> they are lying down right now. students in front of the white house. >> i (bleep) love them. >> can i retweet that? i need to call "the washington post," because i was supposed to do this last night/yesterday, and i am so sorry. hi, this is emma gonzalez. hi. i'm so sorry that i did not call sooner. oh, my gosh. i'm halfway through today but, like, at least today is a lot less busy than yesterday. >> press secretary sarah sanders says here at the white house, officials will take the next two weeks to meet with students, educators, law enforcement, and governors to discuss what can be done. >> how are you? >> good, how are you. >> we've got two tables outside. we've got this mama right here, and we've got outside. >> whatever's comfortable for you guys. >> this is emma. you know emma. >> people from every station are asking us, "are you going to be there to talk to donald trump?" well, first of all, we haven't been invited.
8:09 pm
>> has the white house reached out? >> no. >> do you know any white house contacts? i've been calling, like, every number i can find, and all of them don't answer. >> if he hasn't spoken to you, then i don't know who he has spoken to. >> what even do we ask him? >> do you want to call him now? >> yes, let's do that. >> wow! >> let's all not talk. let's all not say a single word. >> shh, we are calling the white house. >> your call has been forwarded... ( laughter ) >> if you could just give me a call back, i would appreciate it. i'll look forward to hearing from you. thanks so much. is there anyone you'd like me to reach out to for you? >> it's been so much, this entire week. so much has been going on. we've had so much to do. i've had to stare mothers and fathers who have lost their children in the eye. but it's the fact that we are getting something done here that makes everything okay. not really, but it makes everything seem okay. i mean, sometimes, when i'm falling asleep, i start to remember.
8:10 pm
and it starts to hit me 17 times. >> right away, they started with the vigils. and we had that whole next week was full of vigils and funerals and wakes. and way more than anyone should ever go to to in a lifetime, we did in a week.
8:11 pm
>> are you coming on the trip? >> i think we all were-- we had reached a consensus that we can't just get upset about it. we need to talk to our legislators. >> i personally am getting a paper describing each and every senator, each and every time of the meeting. >> jackie, bless her heart, she took the charge in organizing that tallahassee trip. >> she got 100 kids, buses, food, sleeping space. >> i want you guys to go to sleep before midnight. i know you're going to be surrounded by 100 other teenagers, but, like, you really need to go to sleep. >> just be there, be in their faces, and they can't ignore you. ( cheers and applause )
8:12 pm
8:13 pm
>> it was just so overwhelming. it's still overwhelming, but it feels a little more organized now. >> it's okay, we're going to be announcing who's on what bus! >> it's not trying to destroy the second amendment. it's not trying to take away everyone's guns. >> okay, so we are leaving! >> we want an assault weapons ban. we want universal background checks. we want reasonable gun reform. that is all that we are asking for here, and it shouldn't be as hard as it is. >> students who witnessed the deadly school shooting are set to confront florida legislators today, who just voted to put off any action on guns.
8:14 pm
( applause ) >> the teenagers arrived after florida's house of representatives rejected a motion to debate a bill banning assault weapons. >> the next death of someone with an assault rifle here in florida is going to be on them. >> how's it going, guys? thank you guys for coming up here. >> all right, come on in, guys. >> 8:45. >> 8:45! we are already in school for over an hour. >> we've-- we've been to five rooms so far, and they've just moved us room to room and... >> we have so much to say, and we... what we need to do is talk about it to lawmakers, and they're not even showing up to our meetings. >> ha. we knew this was going to be hard, but we weren't expecting this. but, like, hopefully, hopefully, we'll get to actually meet with someone that's-- >> maybe. >> it feels a lot like we're being dismissed because we are teenagers. that was the first thing that we were exposed to.
8:15 pm
and afterwards, many of them did apologize, or they did meet with us. >> where, when you say, "high-capacity magazines," that's the number of... >> bullets. >> you know, i'm not the right person to talk to about that, because i'm in a learning curve on-- on weapons and-- and the like. >> don't-- don't give up hope, guys. don't, please. >> she was-- she was so sympathetic to us, and she really understood us, i think. it went well. i mean, honestly, like, that was probably the most productive session we've had yet because it's not necessarily the-- the-- the party that's been aligning with our views more, and it's-- it-- that-- that honestly gave me a lot of hope. >> more than 1,000 protestors
8:16 pm
converged outside the capitol, raising the volume on their demands. >> our tendency to be a bit too aggressive. our tendency is to lash out. things that you would expect from a normal teenager, these are our strengths. we have nothing to lose. the only thing we have to gain at this point is our safety. >> well, i really didn't plan on going there with a message. the president called, and he asked if i would come down and talk with him. and he just wanted to hear our side of the story of what happened. it's tough for any person, even the president, to talk to someone that kid was just murdered in the school. what do you say to a dead kid's father? what-- what are you going to say to me? >> i want to listen. and then, after i listen, we're going to get things done. >> my daughter has no voice. she was murdered last week, and she was taken from us, shot nine times. we as a country failed our
8:17 pm
children. this shouldn't happen. we go to the airport, i can't get on a plane with a-- a bottled water. but we leave it-- some animal could walk into a school and shoot our children. it should've been one school shooting, and we should've fixed it. and i'm pissed, because my daughter i'm not going to see again. it's not about gun laws right now. that's-- that's another fight, another battle. let's fix the schools, and then you guys can battle it out, whatever you want. but we need our children safe. >> we're students, united! we'll never be divided! >> anything that's ever done in government starts with the people. but i'll tell you what. i think we have forgotten why we're serving, and you need to remind us. >> vote them out! vote them out! vote them out! >> i have news for you: every time those two doors open... >> they hear you. >> ...every single one of them hears you. >> this is what democracy looks like! show them what democracy looks like!
8:18 pm
>> this is what democracy looks like! >> show them what democracy looks like! >> this is what democracy looks like! >> we're fighting hard for you, and we will not stop. >> as for possible solutions, president trump focused on strengthening background checks, increasing mental health services, and even arming school staff. >> if you had a teacher with-- who was adept at firearms, they could very well end the attack very quickly. >> 19 years since columbine, nothing has changed. >> just five minutes. just five minutes. >> we've been to many rooms. we've spoken to only a few legislators. and try as they might, the most we've gotten out of them is, "we'll keep you in our thoughts. you are so strong. you are so powerful." we've heard enough of that. >> i was practically the lone republican the entire-- the entire trip.
8:19 pm
that's when i realized that the second amendment was really under attack, and this was becoming an anti-gun debate. and the first thing i did was i tried explaining to my, like, to my close group of friends why they were wrong. and, like, why they had to, like, look at all the viewpoints and understand that what they were trying to accomplish-- which was-- they really-- their main thing that they all, like, agreed on was we have to ban assault rifles. and i tried explaining to them how that was not going to happen and why that should not happen. i was like, "okay, something has to be done," or at least-- i think the biggest thing that pushed me was that there was no conservative point of view being represented
8:20 pm
8:21 pm
8:22 pm
8:23 pm
>> since he was in middle school, it was no surprise to anyone who knew him to hear that he was the shooter. >> accused gunman, nikolas cruz, was in court yesterday. >> he stared at the ground and spoke only briefly to his lawyer. also yesterday, florida governor rick scott called on the f.b.i.
8:24 pm
to release details surrounding its failure to take action after receiving a tip last month about cruz. that tip described his alleged erratic behavior, desire to kill people, and potential to conduct a school shooting. >> and police records show deputies went to his home more than three dozen times. >> we're here at the bb&t center, and now i'm trying to get inside without a ticket. >> good evening, and welcome to broward county, florida. i'm jake tapper. you're about to witness an historic exchange between survivors of a horrific school shooting and their elected leaders. >> i need his name and the contact. >> my contact from cnn is just checking to see.
8:25 pm
we don't have a name. >> david hall? >> david hogg. >> ah! david hogg is here. you're more than welcome to come in. >> copy that. >> i want to bring in cameron kasky. he's a junior, and he has a question for senator rubio. cameron? ( crowd cheering ) >> can you tell me right now that you will not accept a single donation from the n.r.a. in the future? ( cheers and applause ) in the name of 17 people, you cannot ask the n.r.a. to keep their money out of your campaign? >> i think in the name of 17 people, i can pledge to you that i will support any law that will prevent a killer like this-- >> no, but i'm talking n.r.a. money. >> no. i have told you that i support lifting the age from 18 to 21 of buying a rifle. my understanding as-- before i walked out here, was that that organization is not in favor of that. but i think that's the right thing to do.
8:26 pm
i don't know what their position is on teachers being armed, but i don't think they should, because that's what i think the right thing to do is. >> the cnn town hall thrust us into a national spotlight. it gave us that national platform. ( crowd cheering ) >> i do feel powerful. i've always been so short, but now i'm so tall in the media presence. it feels a little strange. i'm not going to lie; it feels a little weird. but also, like, i just hope that the people aren't getting focused on more than the message is. people will focus too much on the messengers than the message itself, because the message is really important. to every politician who is taking donations from the n.r.a., shame on you! ( crowd cheering ) >> are you prepared to take on the n.r.a., what's been called the most powerful lobby in the world? >> well, i have been getting gun threats from people on social media. i mean, i'm not afraid of them. i'm in a house right now where my father currently has several guns. he's a police officer, and i feel safe because of them. i'm not trying to rip every glock out of every american's hand. i'm trying to make sure that somebody like nikolas cruz isn't allowed by the g.o.p.-- and the n.r.a. funding them-- to get
8:27 pm
another ar-15, or any weapon of the sort, and mow us down with it again. >> do you think there should be a ban on assault rifles? >> yes, because they don'tbeng . you don't need an assault rifle to go hunting. you don't need an assault rifle to defend yourself. that's a military-grade weapon. i just think that we need to tighten our laws, and that's all. i don't think we should get rid of it all. i'm an avid believer of the second amendment. >> from hollywood, it's jimmy kimmel live! >> it's great to see youn ( cheers and applause ) americans acting with conviction. but, unfortunately, there are some who are attacking them, who call them fake news, who call them fake students. they say they're crisis actors, the actors who orchestrate tragic events in order to advance some kind of liberal agenda. >> that's right. we're all being taken in by the dazzling theatrical performances of high school actors. here's parkland student cameron kasky on the question of whether he's a paid crisis actor. >> if you had seen me in our
8:28 pm
school's production of "fiddler on the roof," you would know that nobody would pay me to act for anything. ( laughter ) >> this is beautiful, just like meadow. she is beautiful, and... >> and we're lighting these off in remembrance of all those lost. >> i actually grew up with meadow. she was my best friend when i was little. here's a picture of us, actually. >> her presence is keeping me strong, to fight this cause, to keep the schools-- we just got to make 'em safe. that's all i want. >> it's an "m." >> it's an "m" for "meadow." >> "m" for "meadow." >> love you. okay, so this march on washington is happening... >> march 24. >> ...march 24. >> march 24. it's amazing, the universal support we've gotten.
8:29 pm
>> we've had so much financial support from celebrities-- george clooney, oprah, gucci. i believe chrissie teigen and john legend donated. the creator of twitter just donated 500"k" yesterday. >> i can't get a hotel room on my own. i'm 17 years old. of course, we have people helping us. i can't get the city permits for ten blocks of-- down pennsylvania avenue in washington, d.c. >> how do you make sure those people aren't using you for their specific agenda? >> well, we don't let them. we all remember everybody has an agenda. politicians have asked us to endorse them. nope. you can support us all you want, but if you think you can get your hands on our movement? it's just not gonna happen. >> vote them out! vote them out! vote them out!
8:30 pm
all those laxatives, daily probiotics, endless fiber-- it could be wearing on you. tell your doctor what you've tried, and how long you've been at it. linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than eighteen. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. ask your doctor if 90 days of linzess may be right for you.

i'm trying to manage my a1c, and then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. he told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack,
8:32 pm
stroke, or death. and while not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. (announcer) victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. so stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. gallbladder problems have happened in some people. tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. change the course of your treatment. ask your doctor about victoza®.

to protect school kids played out today at the white house as the president met with state governors. >> i really believe i'd run in there, even if i didn't have a weapon. and i think most of the people in this room would have done that, too. ( sirens ) >> students returned to marjory stoneman douglas high school today. >> they were accompanied by more than 200 police officers, about 150 grief counselors, and 40 therapy dogs.
8:35 pm
>> thank you! >> do you feel like you're safe, coming back? >> yeah, there's a lot of law enforcement here so... >> i was very determined to go back, even though i knew that it was going to be hard to see my teachers, to see my peers. >> the class that i'm teaching is history of the holocaust. well, when i walked back into the classroom, i was happy to see my students, and that made me feel better. and i'm grieving for all of the families who lost their loved ones. and i know that the parents aren't going to see their children anymore, and they're not going to get calls from college. and that's what's really breaking my heart. like, all those wonderful things that those students would be doing, they won't see that. >> someone murders your kid... >> it's unbelievable what you guys are going through. stay strong. >> i like going there, to tell you the truth, because i got to
8:36 pm
see kids going back to school. kids should go and learn and be in school and just worry about science, english, history. they shouldn't have to be doing drills about shooters. >> take care. >> thanks. >> two big retailers are making changes following the shootings at stoneman douglas. dick's sporting goods stores pulled all assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazine ammo from its shelves today. >> i mean, we're not trying to take credit for it necessarily, but we know that at least we played some role in it, that we're doing something here. we're creating some sort of change. >> i'm not into popularity. i'm into getting something done that's good. >> president trump scrambled the partisan divide on guns today, siding with democrats on dramatically expanding background checks and raising the purchasing age for semi-automatic weapons. >> it doesn't make sense that i have to wait until i'm 21 to get a handgun, but i can get this weapon at 18. i don't know.
8:37 pm
>> dana loesch, the spokesperson for the national rifle association: does the n.r.a. feel betrayed by the president? >> well, there's a lot of stuff discussed during this meeting, and i don't think any of it really made for good policy to keep our kids safe. and with regards to increasing age restrictions, purchasing long guns, this is something that the n.r.a. opposes because it-- >> that's a no-go? >> i won't-- i-- it's a no-go. yeah, there's no point in punishing millions of young adults for something that they didn't do. >> the n.r.a. suggested overnight that president trump may now be walking back his comments about stricter gun laws. >> following an oval office meeting, n.r.a. executive lobbyist chris cox tweeted that mr. trump and vice president pence "support strong due process and don't want gun control." an hour later, mr. trump tweeted that "the meeting went great." >> look, if somebody's going to shoot at me, i want to shoot back.
8:38 pm
i don't want to stand there and die. it's really quite simple. they're not old enough to vote >> handgun violence! >> but they're trying to tell me what my constitutional rights out to be. i just don't accept that. they need to grow up and find out what's happening out there in the real world. >> they haven't been locked in a room while somebody was walking up and down the halls with a weapon of war gunning us down. >> an assault weapons ban is never going to prevent criminals from obtaining firearms. >> we're moving into an office space. this is definitely not going to be our last. we're probably going to need a bigger one than this in a couple of months, if not weeks. >> somebody move the table with me just this way. >> it's like moving into college
8:39 pm
but, like, early. >> it seems like we just take it day by day? >> we literally are. >> yeah. >> i like this map. >> delaney bought this. >> well, there's marches all over the world. we should have gotten a world map. >> i don't know if we expected it to get this big, but, like, i'm happy that it's this big. ♪ when i lay sleeping, i dreamt i held you in my arm♪ >> every morning, when i need to be empowered, i put a video on of my girl, my daughter. and i look at that video, and it empowers me, and i get angry. and i-- i'm like a lion now since she's been shot, murdered. so, when i'm feeling a little tired, or maybe i'm drained, i put that video on, and i got the energy of a lion.
8:40 pm
>> we will wait to get those details later this week. thank you. >> only when she introduces you, look at the camera two. >> i got you. >> come on, sir. >> this past week, marjory stoneman douglas high school students returned to class. we are so sorry for the loss of your daughter, sir, and i know that you've become active. you've been at the white house a number of times, including this week. >> they can focus on any gun laws they want, i don't-- but first, let's come together. we could march right through this country. who's going to stop us? who doesn't want our kids safe? stay focused. let's make these schools safe. >> clear. >> thank you for coming in. so sorry for your loss. >> all right, thanks. >> 35 seconds. >> florida lawmakers are scrambling to pass new legislation for the first time in more than a decade. >> so, now, i'm going back to the capitol today to look these guys in the eye, because they're
8:41 pm
going to vote, and i'm going to know-- i'm going to get it out there who voted against keeping our kids safe. because i know there's people on the page thinking, "oh, i'm not for the second amendment, and i'm a second amendment guy. i went to tallahassee because i wanted to make sure that this bill got done. and the way i grew up is, if you want something done right, you do it yourself >> this is the "marjory stoneman douglas high school public safety act." >> the measures include a three-day waiting period for handgun purchases and a ban on sales to anyone under 21. some teachers will also be allowed to carry guns. >> i reject this bill, members, because it's a false choice, rushed through. we don't have to do it this way. >> if it didn't pass in florida, what does that show everybody in the whole world that we could have 17 murders, and we can't even get a safety bill passed.
8:42 pm
people trying to come together on some legislation that no state so far in this country following a tragedy has been able to tackle. >> have all members voted? the clerk will unlock the mchg are mpg anmachine and anno. >> 67 yeas, 50 nays, mr. speaker. ( applause ) >> so, the bill passes. >> i wanted to have something accomplished that i could take to the other states and show the other governors, "look, this is what we did in florida. this is what you need to do now." on behalf of all the families who lost a loved one on february 14, i want to thank the governor for his tremendous support. and we stand united in asking him to sign this historic bill into law. ( sighs ) >> to the students at marjory
8:43 pm
