10:05 am
there will be a lot of heartache in nashville tonight and there'á a lot of worried parents. there's a family center set up about a mile away down at the?; christian church atçóó[■ woodmo boulevard, hillsborough road. that's where parents are supposed to gather. it will be a tough day around here for everyone. >> we just got an update. in addition to those three children who have died, two
10:06 am
adults have been killedfát( as . that confirmation coming in. i do want to say,lp educationa5 week, which much of thev talked about the safety of teachers and theyzv■qq have a s shooting i]tracker. e■ according to that schoollp shooting tracker, there'sw3 bee 12 school shootings this year that resulted in injuries or death. 156 since 2018. this would be the 13th school hooting this year. talk if you will, jim, about yor mentioned all the agencies and familiarity with the people who run them because of living there. what do theyt(çó do? when do the questions have to start? >> you want to go back andi] do psychological autopsy on the killer. the reason for÷ that is --ñr th will be no phoáecution, of course, that's qobvious.q we want to get whatever information we can gather to
10:07 am
stop the next !u■shooting. the little we can gather from the search warrant of his home, his vehicle, postings on the internet. what can be gatheredçó to use t stop the next one, if we can act. the fbiq did a great report on active killers. what they said was 77% of active killers leak -- they leak prior to their crime. they post it on ñimedia, they s it took a fellow student, they tellñr co-workers, they getxdçó arrestedq for it, they tell relatives that want to conduct a mass shooting, they say they dream of mass shootings, yet we don't interrupt these people and we haven the ability to do this. we could interrupt, of the 77%, we should be able to interrupt 1 many, many more of these if the legislatures would gs/qw3 us th laws to do it.xd you know, i say the one we need is akin to the domestic violence federal #ç)■ that prevents a
10:08 am
person convictedlp of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violenceq cannot ever possess a gun. they can't buy it, they can't go into a gun storebecause they're insta-check, but we need a law that says a person whoe1 threats mass violence or, you know, makes that kind of a statement is thene1çó u/hvicted of thate1 terroristic threat of massçó violence. thatxd prohibits their possessi of a gun. thefá lautenberg amendment from n the lautenberg amendment from federal side to model similar law and ask states to have, you knn, when a mass shooting is threatened, don'tbw5eñ take the person to the psychiatric ward and let them say, oh, i was just joking. if he never spends a day in jail, he's prohibited from buying or acquiring a gun. can he get it of course. a lot of killers don't, they go t.p the gunshot and buy hundred
10:09 am
of rounds of ammo and got( one1 their killing t(spree.lp getting a weapon illegallyr sometimes comes withlp risk. youq may, you know, run upì(lc% against a criminal who is vile when against qyou. you maybe run up against an i(] agent you'reçó dealing with or another undercover officer. there's a lot of risk in that, too. we could make theser congress wasn't frozen to not make thefb■;e1 laws we need. any gun legislation that hits up there, it's a dead letter. it doesn't go anywhere.zv■qq unfortunately the lawsq i am+■ talking about would never hurt law abiding gun owners, unless it's a gun owner threatening massr that's what i would like to see us target, a smart legislation to pinpoint the peoplexd who ar saying i'mt( going to do thisfá stop themxd before they do 5a■i. >> we'll see if wefá get confirmation about the shooter.
10:10 am
10:11 am
was it legally acquired, illegally acquired, and what can we learn? the most extreme situation in thatq regard is something thatç we're seeing up in michigan might be collateralw3 prosecutions, butñprá's very important for this community that law enforcement learn theq facts and help the community return to a sense of safety,xd especially in their school. >> what role does the fbi play in that? what role would you expect them to play if any iá1 this upcomin briefing? >> they're
10:12 am

10:13 am
you can say something, it's not going to mean anything bad. it's just going to look at preventing it. >> in yourfá experience, are the almost always signs? >> there really i]ñrxdare. there really are. and lookfá -- it is.6z■ no onejf thinks their neighbors will do fáqit. ; = havefá four children that i extremely protective of, with sexual predatorss7■ and everyon else,t( i always assumed someon was after my kids, someone will trying to finde1uv to put blame on it, but to get people to understand that you could say something and it could havexd prevented it. >> we talked a bit about with jim theq laws that will inevitably beçóc discussed agai articular littleñr scussed agai kids have been killedçó in thisi shooting.

in this stunning bit of information, the shootert( is female, unidentified, appears to ç a teenager. â have robçó d'amico, jimlp cavanaugh and joyce vance5a■ wi me. 98% of mass shooters are men. in this case, it's a çófemale. let me get your reaction to that to start. >> yeah. it's very rare. it's very rare to have a female shooter. we do have them.çó we had one a few years back at the university of alabama, a female professorxd who pulled o añr handgunxd and killed three people, heri] colleagues at the school. we've had some over the i]years. it's very rare. the shooting in san bernardino with the two terrorists, they were connected withçó isis, al

10:37 am
internet there are conspiracy theorists saying this is ab.■ f flag operation. i responded to sandy hook, and to thislzi dayfá i still hiv p saying it never happs.a"% i thinklpi] the pm'(s conferenc one of the best i've seen. i'm a student a&u qthis, i foll this and i also teach this.zv■ as some of your guests talked about, there's some reallyx#tjt9 the first thing i want tou re-emphasize is the rapid0l■ response of law enforcement. the five-member$■teqq when i was training as a law enforcement officer, we were trained to go in and stop with one officer, as more officers arrived there were different positions, different5a■ movemen that you would dor$uz add extra officers. so, hearing that theynb■ immediatelyñi responded tu?c th sounds andt( neutralized the threat should reallyoké(■ give of peopleqçóko■i] some people a
10:38 am
on how well and how far we've come with law enforcement. we've seen that happe%a■q inxd uvalde. the other thing is the rescue rj what the fire depa+é task force talkedñiñrñii] çóçóa. i was a firefighter in new york city. we used to have to stay outside the hot m5ne,ok not even close the warmú]o■ and wait for law enforcement to bring victims w3 out. but their job is to find the baó in this particular case, the bad actor, the bad female and neutralize them. meanwhile there'sxd victims layg there essentiallyq bleeding out. in a schoolfá shooting where yo have children, in medicine we have the goldenñi hour. it'slpfá really 60çó minutes be you getting a trauma incident,ea massive loss of blood and getting tojf definitive care, a
10:39 am
emergency room and maybe surgery. for okpediatrics, thatt( goldenr shrinks. it's called the platinum ten minutes. havinglp first responders going through withr clear areas andçó extricate ando critical care treatmenti] in th warm zone is critically important to saving lives. one of the things ixd also thout was important that is often not mentioned are two things.çó one, the assistance being given to the families. them leaning forward to give that information to families is soçó critical. as i've seen in my e1career,jfe families often converge to the location where the shooting -mpj they're met with scenes of horror, otherlp familyxdçó memb thençó they'll go to the hospit to see if their loved ones are there. creating a central point, we call that a family i]reunificatn center where theyt( can getr information, be reunified with their loved ones.
10:40 am
that's not going to happen for somee1 family members. somee1 family members. there's some family membep$z will be there right now and their child or loved one won't be there. this is unfolding very rapidly, it's not that longwm+■ ago, thae victims have not beenw3 identified. we had this issue with sandy hook. these children don'txd have wallets ont( them. they don't walk around withçó ó■ identification. so, the law enforcement and the medical examiner and forensic ar' making sure they identify these children properl8! @&h(lc% they don'tfá necessarily have biometrics likeñ and repatriate those deceased with their family members and making surexd they get thatv then we call services for those loved ones. the last thing i'll mention is the fact that the fire department representativelp wen out of her way to mention they were providing staff debriefing and mental health. as a former first responder for over 30u
10:41 am
it's been a huge uptick.t( we suffer micro traumas, mental healthçó issues as well. to take time out and walk through some ofi] these issues with the firstxd responders÷ um to mention that in the pressi] conference isfái] notable. >> it'sçó revealing to hear you talk about the ways methods and trainings have changed. i would like toxd ask you about the training that goes into that first response. i askçó because clearly whoevers responding to this situation todayt( probably doesn't know a details about what they're getting into. all they know is that there's an active shooter. is it one person? is it, like, going back to the school shootin'■d that most of mq■ one, ootin'■d that most of what is the situation as you say
10:42 am
on the i]ground? are there peoplez] who have bee shot but stillxd alive and whox% bleeding out? yet we heard those two key things that they ran to the sounz3÷ñrxd of gunfire and that had try to get them out. they said one of the firstçóokx things that happened is they startedok evacuating some of the students. talk toe1xd us about those firs moments when law enforcement, fire, ems goes in toq a situatin they really don't know what isñ happening, number e1one, and, t, theñr assessment they do and th training theyñi get noww3 that evl"9serp0(m years ago. >> it's totalçó chaos. it'sñi heartbreaking for us to we had three, four hours of ç
10:43 am
calls with different descriptions of the shooter, where the shooter is at.xd they're going into a complete unknown. we see that when they stop and take a moment tod1tu deliberatet happened, then we have a marjory stoneman douglas situation, we have a uvalde situation where everyone is sitting aroundjf waiting for someone to make a decision. thet( heroes -- this is afá tra, but the heroes are the firstw3 responders bul(xd also the peop who train the first responders. their training kicked in from+■ the academy. their taught, you hear+■q gunfi if you're byw3 yourself, you dot
