massachusetts. the troubled former congressman caught sexting a 15-year-old girl. and police officers outside of los angeles are being hailed as heroes, this is why. they pulled a 66-year-old man from his burning car after he lost control. some of those officers suffered cuts and burns. those are our top stories on this monday, november 6. from abc news, this is "world news now." we begin this half hour with the overwhelming loss for the rural texas town of sutherland springs. 26 lives taken in an instant by a gunman who opened fire, not only inside but outside of a tiny church. >> the shooter was an air force veteran who received a bad conduct discharge. he took aim at families who had nowhere to run from the barrage of bullets. you see the reaction in that tiny town. among the dead, a pregnant mother of three and the pastor's teenage daughter.
2:32 am

gun. it fuels the call for tighter gun control. texas governor greg abbott called it pure evil. two years ago he tweeted, i'm embarrassed, texas number two in nation for new gun purchases. some are saying that if somebody had a weapon inside the church this possibly wouldn't have been as bad. they would have been able to stave off that suspect. lady gaga even tweeting, praying for the victims of the texas tragedy but praying for more gun control. >> what an interesting tweet, saying what's needed in the state are more guns. >> a lot of folks agree. president trump is monitoring the shooting from japan and has addressed it already several times today. but he did not blame america's gun laws for the tragedy.

2:36 am
a press conference, the president called the texas shooter a very deranged individual and said that right now it is too soon to talk about gun policies. kendis, adrienne? >> he was saying that it's something, this had more to do with mental health than it does to gun policies indeed. the president does have a very, very, very busy agenda. it's his last day in japan. but what is the focus on this stop of the trip? >> reporter: this was a trip where the two big issues were going to be trade and north korea, and kendis, we didn't hear some of that very agrifs rit rick from president trump on north skrae like we have in the past. no talk of rocket man or suicide missions. one big issue four the president today was these japanese families whose loved ones were abducted by north korea in the 1970s or '80s. the president requested to have a meeting with those families, and standing with them, he pledged to help prime minister abe to get them back. >> on a lighter note, the
2:37 am
president feeding fish, feeding fish in a koi pond, tell us what happened there. >> reporter: this was at a palace in tokyo, and prime minister abe and the president had a little box of fish food. and president trump is seen taking a couple spoonfuls, putting it in the pond below. they're standing on a balcony. i guess he got sick of doing it, he takes the entire box and dumps down into t fish. that's something we have done when we were kids. hopefully there were no fished harmed in this incident. >> it looks like, i don't now that he was frustrated. he saw abe kind of say, hey, listen, just dump it in there. >> but the one photo was just like completely -- >> we have meetings to have. >> dumping his fish. there have been so many memes, as a result, one showing a fake photo of the fish all dead. as a result. >> oh. >> not the case.

2:56 am
about these kinds of things? >> that's a great question. i think you begin by starting the conversation, period. by just opening it up. by not pretending it didn't exist. you can at least begin a dialog. we would begin in our own house, by asking what have you heard? what's going on, and what do you think? >> what do you think. >> because then you have a chance to intervene as a parent. we see highlighting of good. and that's what i would recommend for kids. even older teens who may become afraid. there's an enormous amount of heroic behavior, the first responders, the hospital staff. the bystanders who intervene to help out and to people donating blood. that heroic behavior highlights the good in people and changes the dialog a little bit from some of the atrocities that we're all too aware of. but you can talk to your kids, especially older kids about being vigilant, about watching

eva pilgrim, abc news, new york. >> our thanks to eva there. let's get some insight into the investigation. stie steve gomez joins us on the phone. what do you make of the suspect's past. he was convicted of domestic violence in 2012 but was still able to buy a gun? >> caller: yes, that's very disturbing. that's the whole system for the background checks in order to purchase a weapon. you have to have that check done. and the assumption is that the information that should be in the system is there and would be flagged if there was a problem. in this case, he was convicted. he was serving time in the military, and he was sentenced to the brigg f for a year. that should have made it into the system when they did the check, he should have been flagged. that's a problem. >> hopefully things will change as a result of this case. authorities are not talking yet about a motive, but knowing all
3:08 am
that we do, he was dressed in tactical gear, heavily armed. it seemed as though he was ready for a gunfight. what does that say to you? >> caller: this guy was ready for war. this was preplanned. so between the tactical gear, the protective vest, which is a big dia big deal. and when you think about the, apparently, there were a number of weapons, other firearms in his vehicle. so there's the potential that he was going to continue shooting at the church and the nearby area, but it's also possible that he was going to go to another location or two and commit another attack. so this could have been, it's a horrendous mass killing, not only at the church but in other places and fortunately, that u that local resident there was able to take him on and put him down so to speak. >> yeah, we're going to be talking more about the good samaritans who chased after the guy a little later on in the show. >> yeah, and probably stopped
3:09 am
something worse from happening. so we have three of the four deadliest shootings in the u.s. history have happened in the past year and a half. i guess it's level ever frustrati -- of frustration for many in law enforcement, but you say what? >> caller: in law enforcement, we all say law enforcement can't do it alone. and there are only so many law enforcement office oers on the street at any one time. that's why you hear that see something say something. that's why they recognize that these mental health issues, they exist almost every day, but the public has to recognize that as well. and they have to start looking at situations that they encounter with, you know, kind of in their mind thinking, okay, this, this, you know, this guy's posting, you know, a picture of himself were an ar-15. it doesn't say anything more, but maybe that indicates that

3:36 am
when he came in and started shooting, did he have a primary target? was he focussed on one person to start and then shooting everybody else? it could also indicate, just based on his movement and the way he was, you know, kind of going in there if he'd done reconnaissance of the church there. because that's a possibility. the fact is we were hearing that the church was set up to where it would be very difficult for, you know, the church goers to try to escape. so maybe he took the right position to ensure that he was going to be able to kill as many people as possible and they wouldn't be able to leave the church. >> most churches are not set up to have any clear way of escape when you have pews involved. it's one room. talk about the shooter serving time for domestic violence. shouldn't that have prevented him from being able to get access to these kinds of weapons? >> caller: absolutely. that is probably going to be a, just one of the biggest travesties of all, this whole
3:37 am
situation. if that is determined to have w. if he was convicted, then the system is supposed to ensure that that goes into a data system, the ncic. that is checked when they do a background check for a gun purchases. and then a red flag pops up. if it wasn't entered, you know, we're going to have to try to figure out why it wasn't. but the typical response from my experience is that it's the bureaucracy. the bureaucracy is so large within the u.sgovernment and al the cracks.t in a situation lik you can't have that. because then what do you have? you have somebody buying a gun and they go out and kill somebody. >> and the system may have failed these people several times. the local sheriff says they found several firearms in his vehicle there. take us through the investigation over the next couple days. what's the focus of the fbi and atf at this point? >> caller: they're going to be focussing on a lot of things.
3:38 am
the suspect's dead, but of course they're going to be very concerned if the suspect had received help from anybody in committing this attack. now first of all, they're going to want to figure out who purchased all those weapons, the one that he had, the ar-15 and also the ones that were inside the vehicle. now the fact that he had been convicted, he may have known that he would, or he should have had his name in the database that would have been red flagged. so there's always the potential that he had somebody else purchase some of the firearms. and those people could potentially be looked at as a straw purchaser. that could be part of the investigation. they're also going to be looking at a lot of his online activity. he appears to have had a social media presence and was probably on the internet. so they'll be looking for all the research that he did on the internet, and particularly, if he was researching other locations, where he might have gone from the church and over to another location to commit another attack. so those are going to be some of
3:39 am
the essential items, you know, on the list for the inveig forward. >> and no doubt his wife will be interviewed as well. >> oh, yes, all of his family. >> if she had any idea this was going to happen. >> thank you. >> we appreciate it, steve, thank you. at least one lawmaker is not hiding his anger over congress's handling of guns in america. connecticut senator chris murphy posted this tweet, the democrat asking if his colleagues will be able to sleep when the price of gun lobby good will is a blood-soak the church. former president obama used twitter to say we'll grieve with the families. he also says he is praying, for quote, the wisdom to ask what concrete steps we can at thtake reduce the violence. >> similar sentiments from
