>> glor: this is a cbs news special report. i'm jeff glor in parkland, florida, and we are getting an update now on the shooting here yesterday at marjory stoneman douglas high school. 17 people were killed. some of the bodies are still inside the school this morning as the investigation continued, and students still trying to come to grips with what happened here. 14 others injured. seven are still in the hospital at last updates. the victims were remembered today at one vigil. there are more coming. the suspect, 19-year-old nikolas cruz, a former student expelled from school, made his first court appearance today. he is charged with 17 counts of premedicated murder. the police say he has cob fessed, and he admitted he had extra ammunition in his

backpack. the broward county sheriff, scott israel, plans to give us a timeline of how all this unfolded today. president trump addressed the nation this morning. he said, "no parent should ever have to fear for their sons and daughters when they kiss them good-bye in the morning." the sheriff earlier today said that they were still compiling this timeline of exactly what happened when and when cruz entered the school, when he left, and exactly what he did. we're waiting to get a more-detailed analysis and timeline of that from this news conference, which is just upcoming. but as we wait, we'll going to jeff pegues in washington. jeff. >> reporter: as you know, jeff, he was in court earlier today, and we have some of the court documents after that appearance in court. and here's what we're learning. according to the court papers, the shooter, cruz, arrived in an uber, so he pulled up on the

scene in an uber, according to the court papers. he had a backpack and duffle bag. now someone saw him coming towards the school and radioed an alarm to the rest of the school. this was a warning that was radioed, declaring this they hadinoid that he was on his way. so for some some reason, authorities there aauthorities l seemed to be alert that perhaps cruz was headed that way. and so that informed the school officials that he was on the way. so those are some of the details that we're getting for the court papers. also, we're learning that the assault rifle that was used in the attack was abandoned by cruz. so through the day, we've learned that there was a point where he started, after the shooting, he blended in with the crowd as it was exiting the building. and on his way out, at some point, he abandon that weapon. so these are some of the details

that we're getting for investigators. we expect to get more as soon as this news conference starts. jeff. >> glor: jeff pegues, thank you very much. we've heard from students all day today. i've been talking to students. those student who want to speak out and want to speak on behalf of fellow students and their teachers and talk about this school and how they're all coming together. they've also been providing a little bit of perspective on the accused here, and they do talk about a student and a colleague in school who they often had awkward social interactions with, if any at all. some of the descriptions they provide are troubling. and some of them say that when they ended up hearing the name, they thought back to some of the interactions that they may have had with nikolas cruz over the

years. i think we have chip reid, also at the white house right now. chip. >> reporter: well, jeff, the president did have a statement today, an address to the nation. it was mostly words of comfort. for example, he said at one point, directly to children, he said that children who are alone, confused, or scared, you are never alone and you never will be. the president does plan to go to the parkland area and visit with the communities, with families and first responders. i will say he did not have a lot of substance in his address today. he said he's going to talk to gfers state attorneys general later in the month when he meets with them. and he does, he said, want to deal with the mental health issue. he said in a tweet that this alleged shooter showed signs of mental illness. but i should add to that, the president did sign legislation last year that reversed an obama-era policy, a regulation

that would have made it harder for some people to get guns if they had been diagnosed as mentally ill. so the president has said he wants to do things that really make a difference here, but on the issue of mental illness, it's going to be very difficult. and, also, he did not talk about guns at all. we're seeing that big divide, democrats saying this means we need gun control. republicans saying absolutely not. that is not going to solve this problem. jeff. >> glor: all right, chip, thanks very much. we also heard from superintendent robert runcie earlier today. he made the case in a news conference earlier for what he called sensible gun control laws. he also talked about increasing the funding for mental illness. scott israel, the sheriff here, did say in his earlier statement-- he called for more police power. he said police need to have more ability, when they see something that may be suspicious online,

when they get some indication that somebody may possibly want to try to do something like this, he wanted more police to be available and more powers to be available to those police to investigate what could eventually become a crime. the f.b.i. addressed this youtube video that came up yesterday. they were alerted to a youtube video last year with someone who said, "i'm going to be a professional shooter." the f.b.i. said that was looked into last year, and they said they couldn't identify exactly who that was at the time. jeff pegues, i'd like to bring you back in at this point, if i could, because that-- that really has been a big point of discussion here and part of the investigation. you have learned anything else about that youtube video? >> reporter: yeah, this was the tip from a man named ben benight, he lives in mississippi, and he said he alerted the f.b.i. to this post

on his youtube channel. it was a comment from someone named nikolas cruz. and it was so disturbing to benight, he alerted the f.b.i. the f.b.i. came to him. they talked to him about 20 minutes, and today they revealed even though they investigated that, they couldn't make the link, they said, at the time to nikolas cruz. so we're going to see what they say now. we are getting some indications from the f.b.i. that they may have more information on what happened six months ago. that was in september. so there were indications from this mississippi man that nikolas cruz may have been the one behind that comment, that disturbing comment, on his youtube channel. >> glor: all right, jeff, thanks very much. we have-- our discussions with-- as we continue to wait for this news conference from the broward county sheriff and others, again, we're expecting a more-detailed timeline of what

they've learned about what happened yesterday, as we've also gotten more information from some of these court documents today, and after we saw the appearance by nikolas cruz in court, where he was charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder, and where he is now being held without bond. speaking to students yesterday or today about what happened yesterday, they paint a heartbreaking picture, but also one where they saw fellow students take action to try to protect other students. and they also talk about the teachers, and how, to a teacher, everyone one of the ones they saw, their first instinct and their first job was to protect the kids inside that school. and that was closing doors to try to make sure that the shooter didn't get inside that door, and the teacher was the one closest to the door. so if anything happened, it was going to happen to them. and that is shuffling students

into closets, putting them in the corner of rooms. they-- they have gone through these drills here at this school. and this is, unfortunately, a new normal for some of these students, the way they discuss all of this, and the preparation that has gone into this for them because of what else they've seen happen in other schools around the country. so-- and you saw part of that yesterday from all the pictures you saw and all the video and what they document the while all of this was happening. jeff, as we continue to wait for this news conference, i wonder if you can talk about the job that the f.b.i. is doing as it relates to that youtube video, but also where the investigation goes next. lawyer. >> reporter: yeah, so let's-- let's not talk about that.

>> glor: jeff pegues, you with us? >> reporter: yes, jeff. we expect this news conference to start momentarily, obviously, but as i mentioned earlier, the big thing that we have, the information that we have from those court documents is just more of this timeline, and we expect more of that from investigators at the scene. it looks like they're trying to work out who may speak first. so we expect this to start momentarily. >> glor, jeffarchs we're waiting for them to speak, i think we do have-- we can take a listen, and we will-- we promise we'll come back as soon as the sheriff begins to speak here, which might be-- >> as i said earlier, we're here to conduct a law enforcement briefing tonight. i'm going to start off by giving you a timeline and talk about the events that happened yesterday. i'm then going to introduce

people forsele, the sac of the a.t.f., and he's going to talk about the origin of the rifle. and you'll hear from special agent in charge of the f.b.i., rob laskey, and he's going to expound a little bit more on the tip. then i'll come back to the podium, and we'll answer some questions. i wanted to start owl by telling you an uber car dropped off the suspect at 20:19 yesterday, 2:19 p.m. at stoneman douglas high school. the suspect entered the east stairwell, that's building 12, with a rifle inside a black, soft case. the suspect exited the stairwell, pulled the rifle out of the case. at 2:21:33, the suspect readed his rifle and began shooting into rooms 1215, 1216, 1214. he went back to 1216, back to

1215, and then to 1213. the suspect then took the west stairwell to the second floor and shot one victim in room 1234 on the second floor. the suspect then took the east stairwell to the third floor. he dropped his rifle and backpack, ran down the stairs. he exited building 12 and ran towards the tennis courts, and then took a southbound turn on foot. the suspect crossed fields and ran west, along with others who were fleeing, and tried to mix in with the group that were running away, fearing for their lives. the suspect arrived at the walmart store. he bought a drinch at the

subway, and then left the walmart on foot. the suspect went to mcdonald' mcdonald's, sat down for a short period of time. this was at 3:01 p.m., and he left on foot. at 3:41 p.m., 40 minutes after he departed from the mcdonald's, the suspect was detained at 4700 windham lakes drive in coral springs by an officer from the coconut creek police department. he was taken into custody without incident. today, we've interviewed, between the f.b.i., the broward sheriff's office, and a significant amount of investigators from many other agencies-- f.d.l.e., a lot of local law enforcement, so over 2,000 people were interviewed, and we continue. this is a fluid investigation. we have so many facts come in-- some true, some unsubstantiated,

some rumors. it's going to take a lot of time to sift through what's true, what's accurate, and what's not. i wanted to honor the deceased victims of this horrific killing. i'm going to do my best prothe names accurately. carmen senrks trup. peter wang. my very, very, very special friend who i will miss aaron feis.

>> may they rest in peace, and may god comfort their families. at this time, special agent in charge of a.t.f., peter forsele, will speak about the firearm. >> good afternoon. on behalf of the men and women from a.t.f., i want to extend my condolences to the families of the victims and to the people of the community, and i also ask that you keep in your thoughts and prayers the first responders who responded out to the scene. in 30-plus years in law enforcement, i can tell you it was a difficult one. the firearm that was united utid in this event was purchased lawfully here in the state of florida just short of a year ago by the individual who is charged with this crime. we're here to help the broward

county sheriff's office follow up on any leads that may pertain to the firearm or anything else that they need. again, i ask that you keep the folks who responded to the scene, as well as the family of the victims in your thoughts and prayers as we get through these difficult days. thank you. >> special agent in charge laskey addressed some of the questions you had today about tips received regarding the suspect. mr. laskey's going to expound about some of that information. >> good afternoon. i'd like to take this opportunity to provide some additional information about the tip we spoke about this morning. on september 25, 2017, the f.b.i. field office in jackson, mis, received a tip about a comment posted to a youtube account by someone with the user name nikolas cruz, spell

n-i-k-o-l-a-s-c-c-u-z. the comment said, "i am going to be a professional school shooter." there was no additional information about the time, lotion, or further identifiers about the person who posted the comments. the complainant had provided the same information to youtube. youtube removed the comment. after receiving this information, f.b.i. jackson conducted an interview of the person who made the complaint. this person lives in mississip mississippi, has no connection to south florida, and has no knowledge about the person who posted the comment. the f.b.i. also conducted internal database reviews and open-source checks. no additional information was found to positively identify the person who posted this comment. there was no connection found to

south florida. moving forward, we will continue to gather all information about the subject as we try to identify his motives, his associates, and his actions leading up to yesterday's events. we are looking into his social media posts, his movements, his conversations leading up to the shooting, as well as any other indicators that may be out there. again, my heart goes out to the victims, the families, and the friends and everybody else who suffered by this cowardly and horrific act. sheriff. >> i want to take this opportunity to thank this amazing group of people flanking me, your elected officials, who came from places as far as washington, d.c., tallahassee, and just came down here. the calls i've received from wng
