7:03 am
with you. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." he's right. the country is grieving with them. >> so true norah. >> this is -- >> we've seen this too many times. >> yeah. we've got more on this story because the people of parkland florida, are finding strength in each other after a staggering loss from the third deadliest school shooting in u.s. history. more than a thousand people held a candlelight vigil last night over the 17 people shot dead at marriage marjory stoneman douglas high school. >> one of the students nick dworet planned to join a swimming team at university of
7:04 am
indianapolis. peter wang was seen opening a door so others could escape and he was shot. adriana diaz has more stories on the people lost in this horrible tragedy. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we were here last night. it was just so moving. there was a sea of candlelights being held by more than a thousand people. the grief was palpable and it escalated when the father of the victim -- one of the victims took the stage. 's when you heard people in the crowd start crying. >> i don't know what i do next. my wife is home. we are broken. >> reporter: fred guttenberg bared his soul to a tearful crowd. his daughter jamie was one of the victims. >> this is impossible. my girl my 14-year-old baby i sent her to school yesterday. she was supposed to be safe. >> reporter: earlier in the day mourners released 17 balloons in
7:05 am
memories of those killed including geography teacher scott beigel. he was engaged to be married and was killed trying to keep a gunman out of a classroom. >> he basically saved my light. if it wasn't for him, i might not be here today. he will forever be in my heart and be my hero. >> reporter: another hero assistant football coach aaron feis. senior taylor moralez wasn't surprised to hear he protected students from gunfire. >> the fact that i heard he used his body to protect other, that sounds like something he would 100% do without hesitation. >> reporter: also among the victims senior joaquin. he became a citizen last year. freshman gina volunteered for
7:06 am
children with needs. >> i never heard anyone say a bad thing about her. >> no one in this school deserved that. i want my friends back the victims back the innocent people scarred from this i want their innocence back. >> reporter: late last night we spoke off camera to the fiancee of that teacher who died saving students scott beigel. she said they were about to start planning their wedding and that he only had started working at the school just this year. she said he was the type of teacher who could make students believe in themselves. norah? >> i love teamers like that. adriana, thank you so much. many were saved by the quick reaction of teachers and students. this teacher sheltered dozens of students in her classroom. david interviewed his fell low classmates during the school shooting. >> what's your message?
7:07 am
>> i don't think there's anything else to say. there should be no excuse. just hiding together you should know this shouldn't be happening anymore and it shouldn't happen to anyone. >> ashley kurth and david hogg. >> now david ashley are seeing each other for the first time since the shooting and they jien us from parkland. good morning. david, this is your teacher and i know this is a person who's welcomed you in her classroom and this is the first time you've been with her since then. what do you want to say to her? >> thank you. honestly. because of her heroic actions she saved easily like 60 students' lives or however many were in that classroom. the sad part is she shouldn't have had to. this should have never have happened. that -- it's just -- it's unbelievable. there are not words to describe the amount of gratitude i feel
7:08 am
toward her heroic actions. in a matter of 30 seconds, taking all the students and fitting them in about 100 feet of square space that nobody that isn't a true hero couldn't do. >> i know you say you aren't a hero but certainly to a lot of people and family and friends you are. i read one of the hardest things was you had 60 kids in your room and you had to shut the door and tell the kids to keep rung. tell us how difficult this was for you. >> we had recently gone through a training. i had been through a live action training, and, you know, fight or flight just takes place and i started grabbing as much kids as i could from that one door. i ran to the other side to make sure that door was secured. i remember i was shaking as i was trying to put my key into the door and you could see all the kids pouring out of the freshmen building screaming,
7:09 am
terrified. i quickly ran to the other door grabbing those. i kept screaming at them, keep running, don't stop. at that point you were hearing gunshots go off and it was ricochetting with the sound off the other building and we didn't know whether it was one shooter or two. one of the boys that initially ran into my room said there were two shooters on. the kids were just -- it was very intense. it feels like it was an hour. but in reality it was like 30 seconds. i remember standing there with -- after my one friend came in with her last two kids that were falling behind it was like a lull in a mountain of kids going through and i saw another rush. i couldn't stand there and hold the door anymore. i had to shut the door and go into my office area and started assessing who was there. i got my laptop out and started taking down the names of the kids currently in the room. we had 65 kids shoved in my storage closet and in my office and in my laundry area.
7:10 am
all you could hear was screaming and gunshots all around. >> and, david, your reaction was you took out your camera. why was that your instinct? >> after we realized this wasn't a drill, i knew that if i was going to die with those around me i wanted the voices of -- i wanted our voices to carry on and proceed the ages of time because even if our souls couldn't, our stories could have an impact and cause changes in our country and that's certainly something we need right now. >> that's exactly right. david, you are so poised. i've seen many interviews with you. one of the touching stories came from steve hartman. we pray we mourn, we repeat because it goes on and on and on. you have so passionately called for change this time. what is it you want? what is your message to the lawmakers? >> to the lawmakers, i say work together. no matter what policy you support, you guys are
7:11 am
politicians. make some compromises, get some stuff done and keep doing it. actually keep your promises. don't just make false promises so you can get re-elected. actually follow through. who knows. maybe you'll save some children's lives because the amount of deaths that i've had to deal with with my sister having three of her best friends die and numerous other families that have to go home to silent rooms for the rest of their lives with no children is absolutely unacceptable. it's deplorable. and something has to change. the policy makers in this country must work together. i don't care if you're a republican or a democrat. these are children's lives. that's the end of the line. and if you want to have mental health reform you support that. if you want to have universal background checks you support that. why not do both. politicians compromise and we can get this done. it's overcoming political barriers in order to change
7:12 am
children's lives and in that way, our future too. >> it's an issue of both. >> okay. ashley kurth and david hogg, thank you so much. the suspect nikolas cruz made his first court appearance yesterday. he faces 17 murder charges. police say he confessed to shooting his former classmates spending only about seven minutes inside the school. the police say the gunman entered the building on the campus at 2:21 p.m. shooting into four classrooms on the first floor. when he took the stairs to the second floor and shot someone in another room. he left his ar-15 rifle and backpack with extra ammunition in a stairwell on the third floor. cruz escaped by blending in with students running for their lives. investigators say he bought a drink inside a subway restaurant inside a nearby walmart and then went to mcdonald's. >> that's what's so tough to
7:13 am
hear. that he can do all that and then calmly go to a walmart and mcdonald's and drink. there were warnings that were overlooked or maybe ignored. his instagram photo shows him with guns and knives. the local sheriff's office was told two years ago that an instagram post using cruz's name said he was going to shoot his skoof. the sheriff tells our miami station wfor he was unaware of that. jericka duncan is at cruz's home in parkland where the fbi continues to search for clues there. jericka, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. cruz moved into a home behind me with a friend after his mother died. he lived in a home nearby. police were reportedly called there 39 times beginning in 2010 because of cruz for calls ranging from domestic disturbance and abuse. there were signs people knew he had troubling behavior and they
7:14 am
noticed it. >> my sister had texted me and said it was nikolas cruz and i said, oh my god, i know him. >> reporter: sea said she knew him from his job at the dollar tree store. >> he had this weird disposition about himself. he followed me on instagram. i saw all of his pictures of his guns. he had a gun up to his face. >> she regrets not doing more. >> as soon as i saw it my mom said i should have done something about it. >> he spoke of cruelty and hurting animals. >> i saw him with the gun aiming at their chickens. >> reporter: president trump tweeted on thursday neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. must always report such instances to authorities again and again. >> i'll probably never forget that name. >> reporter: ben bennight a mississippi bail bondsman said he contacted the fbi in
7:15 am
september when he noticed a comment on one of his youtube videos that troubled him. it said i'm going to be a professional school shooter, posted under the username nikolas cruz. the fbi visited bennight the next day. >> anybody that makes a public statement like that definitely needs to be investigated. >> reporter: but on thursday the fbi said the post was a dead end because it lacks specific information about the time location and identity of the person who posted it. >> no additional information was found to positively identify the person who posted this comment. >> reporter: after the columbine shooting in 1999 the u.s. secret service and education department published a handbook detailing how to prevent school attacks. but in that study, it did not -- it was not actually able to place a trait or behavior on a student to determine if they were in fact planning a school
7:16 am
shooting. but obviously in the case of nikolas cruz, a lot of people believed he had the potential. >> yeah. now we have social media. jericka duncan thank you. president trump is promising to tackle school safety. he used an address to the nation yesterday to talk about the shooting. today the president will travel to his mar-a-lago resort in florida. that's located about 30 miles north of parkland, but the white house has not given details of his plans to visit victims and its families. major garrett is at the white house. good morning. >> good morning. the president is talking about high-profile crimes. there are rapid calls for new and restrictive policies. they're used to saying wait gather facts. the president's emphasis on mental health it's undercut by his own record. >> let us pray for healing and for peace. >> in the wake of wen's high school massacre president trump
7:17 am
consoled a nation in grief calling for prayers for the fallen. no mention of the semiautomatic livle at the heart of the carnage. for the president, mental illness was the culprit. >> we're committed to working with state and local leaders to help secure our schools and tackle the difficult issue of mental health. >> mr. trump consistently evokes mental health not gun control after mass shootings. when 26 were shot dead in a rural texas church last november, this is how the president viewed it. >> this isn't a guns situation. this is a mental health problem. >> reporter: in february of last year mr. trump signed a bill killing an obama-era regulation which allowed the social security administration to provide information on veerly mentally disabled people with a anyone tall background database. >> there are a number of different ways we look to protect our citizens. >> reporter: last december on
7:18 am
the anniversary of the sandy hook massacre sarah sanders was asked to describe efforts to prevent mass casualty shootings. >> i know that they're looking at some of the mental health issues. it's something the president has raised before. but in terms of a specific policy that would have prevented that, i'm not aware what that would be yet. >> reporter: along with appealing that the white house is endorsing long-term allocations to medicaid. >> major, thank you. this morning "the new yorker" reports new details of the alleged 2006 affair between the president and former playboy model and how it was allegedly covered up. the magazine cites a report that america media incorporated paid model karen mcdougall $150,000 for the rights of her story before the 2016 election. ami owns the "national
7:19 am
enquirer." tabloid. the company's ceo david pecker routinely purchases and then does not print negative stories, a practice known as catch and kill. pecker is a friend of president trump. one former top ami editor said we had stories and we bought them knowing full well they were never going to run. he added, we never printed a word about trump without his approval. a spokesperson for ami said mcdougall's story was never published because they didn't find it credible. a spokesman said the pretty denies the story about mcdougall calling it fake news. >> ahead, the cdc hwó]

8:07 am

suspect and the role social media could play to prevent tragedy. a youtube person reported to the fbi when he saw a post that said i'm going to be a professional school shooter. fbi couldn't island phi the person behind the post. youtube removed it. an instagram spokes-american said, quote, there's absolutely no place on our platform for people who commit such horrendous acts. we have found and removed the posts. they referred us to their policy center. they can disclose user information to law enforcement if they believe doing so could prevent death or physical hafrmt nicholas tom-san is editor in chief from "wired." he joins us from san francisco. good morning, nick. what more could these platforms
8:16 am
be doing. >> they could have a series of policies. you could have a closer relationship. they could make it easier for law enforcement to get information. they could hire many more people to monitor these platforms for threats like that that they could send on. but at the same time they also have to protect user privacy. so there is complicated trade-offs and they have to protect free speech. the complicated trade-off, instagram has put itself in one place, google in another. they could it but it's tough. >> the disturbing comment, "i want to be a school shooter" was reported to the fbi. the fbi said they did investigate but they could not identify the origin or genesis of that comment. how difficult sit to source these things out? >> one of the questions that's interesting is whether they were not able to find it because it
8:17 am
could not be found on youtube. one of the things that yub tube does is deletes stuff that can cause harm. that would have made it harder. on the other hand it appears as though nikolas cruz used his real name if indeed that was nikolas cruz. the other confounding factor here is there are tons of posts made on social media. the real burden is on the fbi, is this a real threat can we google other accounts and tie it to this person's name. whether we don't know is if the system broke down on the fbi end, it broke down on the youtube end because they deleted the comment and weren't forth coming with the fbi. >> here's the question we have. how many people are on their instagram accounts like he was posing with a bunch of guns saying he wanted to commit
8:18 am
violence. how is that legal? >> how common is it? >> it's unfortunately common. instagram has very strong policies to try to identify a sense of harmful content to take it down knock people off those platforms. of all of those social media policies instagram has the strongest. one of the most interesting question is whether the social media policies should work harder to ail go rhythmically identify it and then not delete it but shift behavior. one of the things is when they have somebody searching for jihadist content, they have the ability. could you do the same thing for people who show attributes for possible shooters? i don't know but it's an interesting question. >> all right. nick thompson we have to leave it there. thanks for joining us. ahead, chip reid meets a special group of women after a friend gets a crippling disease. this is in our "more perfect
