looked outside my window and saw a man laying on the ground and person holding a gun over him. >> we went to the corner and hid. >> we saw blood stains on carpets and blood splatters on the wall and bullet casings all over the floor. >> we're getting our first look at the man police say could be that lone gunman. authorities say 26-year-old was armed with a shotgun knife and rounds of ammunition. students gathered overnight for a vigil for prayer. yet another service is planned two hours from now. why is it that students among our nation's most vulnerable and most in need of protection are so often the ones in the cross hairs? first, let's take a closer look at this latest college shooting for answers. miguel almaguer has more. >> reporter: good afternoon. i want to give you new

information on the 26-year-old suspect. there are several sources close to the investigation telling us he chose the school, seattle specific university at random. it was a school he simply picked on the day of the shooting. he is described as a loner who lived at home with his parents who was also described as antisocial and angry. though neighbors there tell nbc news who knew him for years and years he seemed totally normal and perfectly fit. like a regular every day neighbor. we also know he purchased the shotgun about two years ago from a private owner and that does not require a background check. those are some new details that investigators are sharing with us today, ronan. >> miguel, is there any new information about the shooter's motives? >> reporter: at this point police are not releasing a motive but have been told he was researching mass shootings, specifically the columbine shooting. we do know it is something they

are looking into but have not released a specific motive as to why he targeted the students. he injured four students and shot two critically, one killed on scene and other remains in critical condition. he was subdued by a student in the area as he was literally reloading his weapon. police say preventing further bloodshed. >> miguel, are there any questions at this point about this individual's mental health? >> there are some questions that investigators are looking into and they have not explored those issues deeply yet. it's our understanding that in a couple of hours, the suspect will most likely obtain a lawyer, quite possibly a public defender. so he hasn't been questioned. he was questioned for a couple of hours last night and investigators not telling us the details of what they have covered just yet. >> finally, do we know anything about the condition of victims in the hospital? >> yes, there's been some good news. there was three people that were hospitalized and one of the first victims that was killed was taken to the hospital.

he was pronounced dead on scene. a 20-year-old male. there was a 20-year-old female student, she is in critical condition and doctors are optimistic about her recovery. she is still certainly in very critical condition and her health is touch and go. two other students have been hospitalized and one has been released and other is in satisfactory condition. we can expect that student to go home in the coming days. >> miguel almaguer appreciate it. in 2014 there have been 18 shootings in different college campuses. our focus is on that issue, guns on campuses and strong and polarized reaction. many of those campuses have had enough. a recent ball state university study found 95% of college and university presidents oppose concealed ha eed hand guns on c but efforts to protect campuses seem to be at something of a

stand still. last year 19 states introduced legislation to allow concealed carry guns on campus. in an op-ed for the boston globe, forcefully argued that that needs to change. joining me now is one of the voices behind the piece, tom menino. thank you so much for being here. what's the reaction to the latest shooting in seattle? >> you know, why can't we -- this is not about gun control. it's about crime control. and when you said your child to a college you expect a safe place and now they are trying to change that guns being on college campuses. doesn't make a lot of sense to most persons. i say survey of college, four to five college students don't want guns on the campus in a survey by the based -- ball state who said that 95% of the students

don't want it also. >> that's right. >> this idea about letting guns on college, look what happened in santa barbara and seattle just recently. since several years many crimes are happening around college with guns. guns don't belong in colleges and in the classroom. >> why is it that guns are particularly a problem on campuses? >> on campus? >> that's right. >> you know, it's -- campus is for education. why should you have to have a gun on campus? it doesn't make a lot of sense. most americans -- i don't want anybody would advocate to have guns on college campus. when you send your child to school, it's about education, not about anything other. i thinch the college and universities provide enough public safety for the students and to bring a gun on campus, we just had a graduation in boston university, and individual tried to bring to guns to

commencement. i want to bring them there for my own safety. it causes a problem. cops started to frisk him he started to run away. why did he have two guns with extra ammunition. we avoided a problem at boston university this past commencement. >> and one thing you argue in this piece is that this is a cocktail of dangerous factors. you have binge drinking and other irrational impulsive tend entcys that are not a good communication with a lot of guns being around. >> you know, ronan, you know, this is a very special -- this is about special interest groups. the national nra, special interest group. special interest myself, mayor bloomberg has and marty walsh, everyone for public safety. that's a group of regular americans who want a demand from the government that we do something about guns at schools and streets of america. and why doesn't congress listen? why is congress solely own the

subsidy of the nra? that's wrong and that's illegal. >> that's a pretty bold claim and you make other bold claims in this piece. you say the gun lobby is more interested in advancing its ideology than in protecting the lives of students. that's quite bold. you stand by that claim, right? >> let me tell you, we're not being bold. they are being bold. we're there doing what's right by the american constitution, protecting people's rights and also having guns doesn't make it that way. i know the right to bear arms. i understand if you need it for public safety if you're a hunter, but too many young people have the veilability of guns so easily. the gun show loophole and background checks, all of those things, uniform policy throughout america, we're the only industrialized country in the world that doesn't have a uniform law on pt books. why can't we, america, land of

the free, why don't we have it? it's wrong. these folks in congress need to wake up some day or constituents will wake up and throw them out of office. >> mayor, what do you say to gun freedom advocates who say, look, this is a way to make campuses safer when there's the next attack. we would want our children to have guns on them to defend themselves. >> you know, go to some other countries, ronan, the cops don't even carry guns. it doesn't -- it gives people the opportunity when they have a gun to use it recklessly. how does that teenager in boston recently who shot somebody have a gun? is that right? but myself and my other mayors, we understand the second amendment real well but we want to make sure we know where the guns are going and who's buying those guns and all of the loopholes are closed. we're not saying you can't have guns in america. it's not about gun control but crime control.

i want to make it a crime control issue. >> campuses are not the place. that's an argument people are hearing loud and clear and feeling right now. appreciate it. >> this week for our call to action, we're urnging you to send a postcard to your elected official with that clear message we've heard this past week, not one more. we've made it easy to do. head to our website, we've got a link to a postcard on every town site. you sign it and enter your zip code and it identifies your representatives and sends the message automatically. hundreds and thousands of have sent millions of postcards. earlier today president obama delivered a moving address on another subject on people's minds today. in france marking 70 years to the day since allied forces stormed the shores of normandy on d-day. >> normandy, this was democracy's beachhead and our victory in that war shaped the security and well being of all

posterity. we worked to turn old adversaries into new allies and worked with the people of this couldn't nent until finally a wall tumbled down and iron curtain too. from western europe to east from south america to southeast asia, 70 years of democratic movement spread. nations that once knew only the blinders of fear began to taste the blessings of freedom. >> that is an important message to remember. so throughout today's show we'll be doing something different. we're going to be playing tribute photos of the veterans of that greatest generation, especially the ones still with us. sasha spent three years photographing those veterans and we'll be sharing her photographs and some of their stories. one story of leon lebowitz, an army reservist called into

a 12-year-old lured into the forest and stabbed 19 times narrowly escaping death. it's any parents' nightmare and nightmare for more parents than you might expect. the alleged stabbers are 12 years old themselves raising tough questions about how we prosecute children. the two girls who have been charged as adults with attempted murder told authorities that this attack was inspired by a fictional online character known as slender man.

according to police reports, the girls said they had to kill someone in order to please the character. today the milwaukee journal sent nal is reporting a creator of a website devoted to fans lives blocks from where the stabbing occurred. real tragedy is 12 years old girls were not armedwide enough real life skills to distinguish reality from fantasy. that's a concern being echoed by prominent legal analysts. lisa bloom writes in a new op-ed these girls are too young and america needs to rethink how it punishes children. joining me now is lisa bloom. >> thanks for having me. >> these girls planned for months to brutally stab a child. >> they committed a horrendous act, 19 times stabbing a 12-year-old girl. we as grown-ups have to hold who

things in our mind at the same time. one, this was a terrible outageous disgusting act. two, it was committed by children. 12-year-olds are children no matter what they do. no matter how horrendous the crime. we are the only country in the developed world that continues to prosecute children as young as 12 years old as adults. should the 12-year-old girls go to prison for the rest of their lives until they are 7 o or 80 because of a terrible thing they did when they were 12 years old. >> how to charge and sentence minors is a difficult question across the board. does the particular fantastical nature, trying to please a fictional character, underscore how unprepared they are? >> that's a great point. it's a hall mark of childhood. this is why children go to movies with dragons and dinosaurs and flying fan tasiccal figures.

i was having sigh onss and trully believed people from beyond were speaking to me and my friends. that's what it is when you're a child. you believe in yourself. i think that we are engaging in the magical thing, a system so harsh on children that we can convince ourselves that 12-year-olds are adults. they are not. >> will the fantastical nature of their motives help their case? >> it might or might not. in the legal system if they are tried as adults and have been charged as adults under wisconsin law, almost required to be which is harsh on children. the question will be insanity, were they legally unable to distinguish right from wrong. they may very well prevail on that. >> one big esh yu is the girls appear to have waived miranda rights. >> how is a 12-year-old capable of standing miranda rights? >> 95% of adults don't understand the right to remain

silent. anybody given the right to remain silent should take it. if the police call you in and asking you questions and you're a suspect, you should exercise your right -- >> always demand a lawyer. >> and demand a lawyer. absolutely. you should remain silent. these 12-year-old girls, what kind of country are we that we're expecting 12-year-olds to make a decision that can affect the rest of their lives, whether they'll be incarcerated for the rest of their lives when a police officer calls them and answers questions. we teach kids the opposite. if a cop talks to you, you should cooperate and talk to them and respect their authority. that's what these girls did and it could have profound lifelong ramifications. >> almost preying upon what we teach children. the question was this also preying against children. slender man's creator, this guy on internet forum released a statement. i'm deeply saddened by the tragedy in wisconsin and my heart goes out to families of those affected by the terrible act. is this pointing the finger in the wrong direction? >> i think so.

to me this is the ee quif lent of a x-rated movie. it's not appropriate for children. parents should not be allowing children online unfettered access to things like this. i wrote my book swagger about this. it's extremely important that parents monitor what kids are doing online. we see case after case of facebook killings and suicides and now see this case. this is not appropriate for children and parents should be monitoring everything their kids do. there are all kinds of fillers and screening software and it's easy. they shouldn't have so much time on their hands they are looking at this for long periods of time and plotting for months and months and unsupervised able to commit the crime. >> the answer is never book burning. there's a place for horror movies and this story telling but once your kmild is at this point of obsession, there's supervision needed. >> it's not appropriate for children, shouldn't be looking at it at all. >> how america's criminal justice system treats children, some of the stats are startling. we incarcerate juveniles at seven times the rate of great

britain and 18 times the rate that france does. why do you think that is? >> because we're a very harsh punitive culture. we have a culture of mass incarceration, incarceration more of our own people than any other country on earth on human history. and that's not just adults. so we prefer punitive actions rather than prevention. that's the problem. so here's two 12-year-old little girls and not even teenagers caught in crosshairs of that extremely punitive system. >> we'll see how vulnerable and young these alleged perpetrators are and change sent. on that. we'll be right back. first, our tribute to the honorable courageous veterans of the greatest generation. of course, it's the 70th anniversary of d-day and we're honoring harold dinzes, drafted in 1942 and helped build and defend the air fields there. true american here row, he was later awarded a bronze star.

everybody will work hard to capture such an important bird. it's an answer that may exacerbate the fight on hill whether this swap will endanger americans and the obama administration may have botched the brokering and announcement of this deal. bob shrum and robert trayhnam. how does the obama administration dispute that when it's coming straight from the horse's mouth? >> it's a piece of naked propaganda. the taliban had been trying to capture or kill americans for a long time. they are going to keep trying to do that. those cells from al qaeda will keep trying to do that. look, the israelis have a long record of being very tough on terror. they've engaged in the prisoner swaps at the scale that's far larger than this. and in two cases trading over 1,000 people to get back a soldier much it was fundamentally right to get him back. i think the president did the

right thing. i think you could have legitimate arguments whether it was handled in the right way. >> bob shrum, if you're going to cite the israeli example, israel in part because of that policy constantly dogged by attempted kidnappings of their soldiers. >> there have been attempts to kidnap forever and they want to do it all the time not because they get people back. that's one of the reasons but because they see themselves at war with israel. right now two weeks ago, a month ago, three months ago, if the taliban could kidnap an american soldier they would have done so. what i think "time" magazine has done is just print a piece of sheer propaganda from the taliban. >> it's a bold charge. >> robert trayhnam, another piece is david vonn drel's cover story and calls the couching of bergdahl's release, writes, he was evidently worried that

americans couldn't handle the truth. the truth he's referring to is how complex anddy advicive bergdahl's history was. should the white house have been more trans parents up front about that? >> i think so. the little we know trickling out about mr. bergdahl's past is very troubling. to suggest that he announces his affinity towards our country that we know and love, to abandon his unit not once by twice. it's one thing i agree with bob to perhaps make a swap with five prisoner for one and that happens all the tile and who knows what he knows in terms of intelligence stuff. the issue is not only how the president handled this but literally put his arms around the story and susan rice calling him almost a national hero. i don't understand that at all. the fact that the white house is not backing down from those statements and in fact they are doubling down on those statements, it doesn't make

sense. >> susan rice did come out and answer questions about that and said she wasn't trying to whitewash anything but referring to the fact that he had served and service across the board in her view is honorable. there are still questions because it seemed like in the wake of the tone of the announcement you described him embracing those parents, there was a triumphant tone there. >> could they have succeeded in couching it, saying we have to be up front. and there are a lot of questions but we bring our troops home regardless and the right places to pursue charges will be at home. would that have worked snd. >> that makes total sense to say that and believe it. but to say he served with honor and distinction, to have a rose garden ceremony about this, that's where it almost slaps in the face of americans who do serve with honor and distinction because that's not the america that i grew up in. that's not what i believe honor and distinction really means. to suggest that this individual just in fact serves with honor

and distinction, it simply does not make sense. for the president actually to add weight to that in the rose garden, again, it doesn't make sense to me. >> it does seem like they certainly misread or misanticipated this reaction. bob shrum there's another quote that speaks to that, ben rhodes maintained there was no dissent from the decision to take swift action and the writer of the piece says it is only because the white house wasn't listening. how could they not have been aware of the dissent within the military ranks and congress? bob, did they just choose to ignore it or generally not aware? >> i think they thought there was great urgency here and had to move quickly. i would say two things. first of all, i'm not willing to condemn this guy who volunteered and went off and fought for the country and did walk away once or twice, although he also we learned today tried to escape from his imprisonment and they

got him back and put him in a steel cage. let's get him back before we judge him. the second thing i think we have to understand is that it would have been safer for the administration to go consult congress because if you look at those initial tweets from all of those republican members of congress, they hailed it. and then -- of course erased the tweets. what happened here is they decided that while it was safer for them politically to consult some people in congress, it wasn't safe for bergdahl because senator ang us king of maine said there was a threat from the taliban. if this leaked, he was going to be killed. the fundamental question, should we have gotten him back? yes. could it have been handled better? definitely. >> there are a lot of questions about who was informed. we'll see that shake out. one person talking about how much she knew is hillary clinton in her new book and we're seeing more and more of that book. nbc news obtained a copy. i acknowledged as i had many times before opening the door to

negotiations with the taliban would be hard to swallow for many americans after so many years of war. is she just successfully quaukingquauwalking a line where she's not committing to one side or the other? >> no, i think she thinks she's being very honest and transparent. look at the transcripts back in 2007 and 2008 between she and barack obama during the debate she's been very clear or was very clear in terms of her feelings with that. however, we also need to recognize she was the secretary of state and serving under her commander in chief who may have had a difference in opinion in that. i do think she's being transparent in terms of her feelings with that. >> and acknowledge the public sentiment on that. it's worth noting at the outset of her tenure, ar afghanistan pack tan team was pursuing the idea of negotiating with the taliban and transparent about that eventually. it does seem to be more ver boat

ent topic, she talks about her vote on the iraq war. she writes, i thought i acted in good faith and made the best decision i could with the information i had. i wasn't alone in getting it wrong bumt i still got it wrong, plain and simple. how important is it she clear the air on that before any future political runs? >> i think it's critical. it hurt her very badly in 2008. that she wouldn't come out early on and say this although she did say it later. she's on a book tour. some say it's a trial run. i think it's the first phase of her campaign. when john kennedy he published profile in courage, best seller. he was all over the country campaigning. i think this book tour is the first phase of hillary 2016. >> all right, there's a lot to look at here and we'll definitely have you both back as this unfolds. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> of course, 70th anniversary of d-day and landings in

>> congress is weighing more fundsing for nasa in the latest budget proposal, proposing 17.9 billion, which is up from what the white house proposed. that's a change of course. how needed is that money? >> that's great. we've gone through very rough years during the recession. there's a lot out there. the solar system is infinite. there's always more to explore and discover. i think it captures the curiosity of everybody. we want to get out there and get the information and get it home to earth. that's what opals is doing, increasing the data rate to get the information back to everyone at home. >> you mentioned the recession. in these difficult economic times, why should the average american consider this kind of space research worth it? >> the space program has driven technology for humanity in the last decade, the last several decades actually, the advances in microelectronics and communications have all come to the space program. this is another example of demonstrating new technology that is not going to have space applications but earth based

applications. >> look, i think it's phenomenally important for us to be forward looking at all times. as expensive as this is, it will be integ ral to our competitiveness. thank you, matt, appreciate it. >> thank you. >> matt abrahamson from nasa. up next, sports, we promised it all week and the world cup is almost here. with all of the nonstop action and high stakes drama it's sometimes hard to remember we'll be playing soccer too. that guy juggling the soccer ball in the studio will explain it all to us. don't go away. wethey were a littlehorizons to mbit skeptical.ss, what they do actually is rocket science. but at ge capital we also bring expertise from across ge, like lean process engineers we asked who does what, when, where, and why that step first? ideas for improvement started pouring out.
