6:30 pm
>> it's a story we've been following for you all day. heartbreak in the heartland, a gunman opens fire killing 26 sglem the air force did not request his had riling as required from the pentagon rulings. this is the story we're focused on. >> as we mentioned death toll stands at 26. gunman devin kelley opened fire. and deadliest at u.s. place of worship and kelley was assaulted of air force 201 and
6:31 pm
2014. >> president trump is abroad in japan and weighed in on tragedy. his comments could spark a round ever debate over gun control. >> i want do send thoughts, prayers and deep eingts condolences to the victims of the horrific assault on a church in a beautiful area in tragic times, americans always pull together. this is a mental health problem at the highest level. it's a very, very sad event. these are great people. it's a very, very sad event. but that's the way i view it. >> all right. so, a lot of talk about the president's words and a lot of discussion about where we go. mental health came up many times. i can think about to aurora and gabrielle giffords shooting in arizona where mental health comes to forefront. we talk about that and then don't talk about it. >> right because -- i don't know. decr
6:32 pm
their calls for gun control and senators tweeted enough is is enough and congress must actor be complacent and expolice officer and security officer lieu "columbo" joins us. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> we're saying that's all we hear about. i feel like we just had this conversation a few weeks ago and there's a the lot of talk, a lot of talk in saying we need to pray. at the end of the day nothing chains. what if anything could have been done to prevent this the shooting. >> well to start with i think it would have been helpful if united states air force passed along important information to the fbi so this young man might have been entered into a database. which means when he went to buy these rather deadly townships would have come up and he would have been denied purchase. that doesn't translate to the fact he would not have the gotten a weapon some other way or chosen a different type of weapon to carry out this
6:33 pm
your happened on firearm, maybe you go to automobile. as we just observinged in lower manhattan. right? and along the west side highway. or knifing. so this problem with mental health is it a very big problem and we seem to want to side step it as frequently as we can. it started when geraldo rivera exposed problems with willow brook facility in staten island. and since that point we systematically dismantled the the system throughout the united states. that's the root of problem. everyone who wants to talk gun control has to understand nothing statistically support this i think it would be rather novel if nra and people anti-gun could come together and strike a form of compromise that at least would allow us to screen people with mental illness to prevent them from having firearms. i'm not saying take away
6:34 pm
>> i think that's a totally reasonable approach to take to. it you're right, there is a second amendment in this country for a good reason and i lot of people talked about i noah vegas the talk was about bump stocks that's not what happened here but the only place there was action taken was massachusetts. with that said moving along head i mean we talk about having national conversation. where does the conversation have is to go. anywhere else besides mental health we have to talk about? >> well obviously we need some form of intelligent gun control. that's something lacking in general and as usual we're in such a divide over so many topics gun control being one of them we never seem to make headway. right and nra latched on to their position and democrats latched on to theirs and they don't seem capable ever engaging in formidable
6:35 pm
dialogue to serve the american public. it's all about their platforms that's a big, big part of the problem. this is not the only topic we're people larizeed on. what we do with borders and pro-choice and i will legal immigrants it goes down the line and that's systemic failure we are experiencing and suffer from. in relationship to this young man going forward in the public you know we try to make people or teach people about situational awareness. bri continue with that we have to start to ask attorney aboone done convene luxury of having ear buds in your ears so you know what's going on around you. which probably happened along the walkway near west side highway. i'm certain as this individual was running people down people were screaming and as running, walking, zoned out so to speak you didn't hear any of the c cries. we have to khaivk our lives a little bit. but unfor the in thely you're going to have do don the case
6:36 pm
heightened in situational awareness. point of ingress, degress, kits, constantly aware of people in our environment and what respects a liability to us. the public will have to transtoytion more of that approach but there is something -- go ahead sir i'm so sorry. >> you bring up good poyjs and we would love to have have you back and talk about this more. this is a topic we have to keep talking about and we w will. so lieu palumbo thank you four joining us we have to move an because shooting is causeing a lot of people to question the safety of church around the nation. armed guards, plain clothed security and video camera in place around here. >> something more must be done the question is what? "fox5" anjali hemphill continues live coverage from a church in springfield, virginia, anjali. >> hey, guys, this is emmanuel bible church where they have a
6:37 pm
plan already in place here. they have packets just like this one in every single room of the church. in it steps what to do in case of active shooter and lockdown and even severe weather incident. they've got security cameras throughout the property inside and outside the building and many of their doors to get in require a key card. and not just a key. take a look. this is reverend steven holly who says they started implementing safety measures after the sandy hook mass shooting many years ago and they now have the technology to monitor who comes in and out of their church property think it also i should say includes a school like many other churches in this area this works closely with local police department an developing a thorough safety and security plan that the staff here practices on a regular basis. reverend holly tells me he encouraging all churches to have a similar plan like this in place and to be aware of who in their own
6:38 pm
could help with that. take a listen. >> since 9/11 law enforcement usually carry 24/7 and we know who they are in the congregation and so like we don't broadcast who they are to the rest of the church and so they're ready to assist. and so we hope they never are called upon to but we feel protected. >> we have a security team safety and security team that we're -- our people are instructed to listen to them and follow their instructions certainly if a horrific event take place then it's to protect themselves as quickly as they possibly can and get down, get low, get safe and you know we try to -- can't practice that on sunday morning church but our team is practices and they go through the various scenarios and so they're ready to
6:39 pm
situation. >> a lot of churches reach out to us. we reach out to them when we have certain crimes that happen. we're reaching out to churches today actually and a few yesterday after the event that occurred in texas. so, we already have those relationships in place. our officers attend these churches on their private time with their own families. there needs to be that connection there. >> and right you just heard from the prince william county police department. they like fairfax country police department are part of this worship watch program and they organize quarterly meetings with their local faith-based community to try teach them safety strategies and give them active shooter training. again very similar to lots of programs found here in our area with several local police department. the next worship watch meeting in prince william county happens to be later this mo month. that's the latest in springfield guys, back to you. >> anjali thank you very m much. one thing lieu palumbo bro
6:40 pm
talk xwing bipartisan compromise. manning toomey joe mansion of west vir vr a democrat and pat toomey of pennsylvania a republican both in the stat came one bipartisan bill they hoped would get traction for mental health checks. it lost. and that was you talk about joe mansion who is a guy that could use a lot in west virginia he may face competition next year. i'm ready to see them i wish there was bipartisan legislation that gets passed. i feel like a lot of you guys do out there we need to get past talking we need toe take action. we need to do more. all right, as virginia voters prepare to choose next govrp for tomorrow the latest polls show candidates are essentially neck in neck. >> last check ralph northam are ahead and outside a rally for ed gillespie tonight. for some people, fitz this is like christmas eve
6:41 pm
jim and shawn it's finally here. ralph northam in both polls was with a comfortable lead. that started to change in the last couple weeks. look at polls. some came out this morning. now this is quinnipiac. they have northam up by nine points in their poll. christopher new port university they're down a little more. they have northam up by six points. look at this monmouth university they have this in a dead heat. they only have northam up by two points and poling company firm out of washington d.c.ing itself gillespie up by two and again dead heat. that's even steven within margin of era. question here how much does this factor into when people go to these polls. understand this was a pretty gentlemenly quiet race up
6:42 pm
there was a decided turn in these ads. gillespie side they really hit the northam campaign and ads with convicted child porn oing fer someone who had rights restored under the northam mcauliffe organization and another group came into this called latino victory they ran an ad we talked about a lot pickup truck with confederate plaque and gillespie bumper sticker and eventually northam campaign asked the group to take the ad down. now polls open tomorrow morning at 6. we found out that there's already been a lot of voting going on when it comes to in person absent tee voting people call that early voting. how big. look what the registrar in fairfax told us today about how many people already voted. >> we finished saturday. last day for in person absent
6:43 pm
30,000 voters voting ab sebts tee in person. total ab sent tee voters for 2013 was just under 30,000. so we saw more people snrot person than we did the entirety of absent tee voters for yours ago. >> so think about that. more people have gone out of their way to go down to these poling places in just last few days and already cast their ballot than the totality of all the absent tee voting just four years ago. that is a pretty big turnout. of course, we will have to wait to see when the results come in how that shakes out. it was eye opening i can tell you, jim, shawn, to the people that run that in-person absent tee voting how many people turns out to take parts in the voting. >> voter turnout is key, fitz. and certainly with the weather tomorrow we'll watch that. >> accusations are playing after bomb shell claim against
6:44 pm
5@630 will be right back. narrator: ed gillespie's false attacks. independent press says they're false. fear mongering. absurd. ralph northam went to vmi and was an army doctor for eight years. in richmond, dr. northam helped pass longer sentences for gang members and mandatory life sentences for violent sexual predators. ralph northam: i'm ralph northam, candidate for governor, and i sponsored this ad because i'm a pediatrician, and for ed gillespie to say i would tolerate anyone hurting a child is despicable.

6:46 pm
>> probably heard about this. revelations in donna brazil new book. former interim dnc suggesting democrats rigged the primary. >> brazil said they thought of replacing with biden after clinton collapsed during a 9/11 service. there's a lot unfolding with this one tonight. it's relitigating 2016 all over again and that's what's playing out. ronica clearyed is it aing by with the latest. what's going won this. gem and shawn opening up those old wounds and they started in the primary for democrats. that was ugly primary democratic side and all started la
6:47 pm
today here that she was aling that the dnc favored clin nonthat primary and now we learned more over the weekend suggested that she was going to swop out clinton and kaine for not just joe biden but for vice-president she wanted to put corey booker in there. campaign responded they said they were shocked by the fact she would suggest this and in her book, now, we learned she make really critical claims about how the campaign was r run. and the campaign said look, we don't recognize the campaign you're describing so we wanted to get reaction from democrats on the ground in our area and you know, our area terri mcauliffe and tim kaine are close to clinton. i thought for sure they would be eager to respond. it was not exactly the case. of course we recognize that it is the day before election day and
6:48 pm
of people we reached out to. senator tim kaine was not available because he's in virginia. his campaign team also said that he's focused on virginia and not the book. governor mcauliffe team has no comment on the book and focused on virginia election and reached out to o'maley governor o'maley who simply declined request and again as i said i know they're on the ground and day before election day and how about a statement and rally shocking allegations and really future of democratic party. nothing. i spoke with democratic strategist drew litman on why they might be yeahet even close to investigate and he says it's a long term strategy game potentially thinking about money and fundraising for 2020. take a listen to this. >> if, for example, ureterry mcauliffe who we believe is running for president he knows probably every big
6:49 pm
donor and he doesn't know a sing are person on the bernie list. he would never find them. they're not naturally his kind of supporters. and they could be. they could be converted. step one is to not criticize donna brazil as she distances herself from hillary which means putting herself closer to bernie's side. that's the future. if you're mcauliffe that's what we have the eye on. martin o'maley i would say the same thing. >> so, of course, just a friendly reminder that just because politician is not talking doesn't peen they don't have anything to say. just might be a long term strategy game. so back to you, jim, shawn. >> very interesting take on that. and i know there's a whole lot of debate about what this is actually doing to democratic party and are we seeing them pull further apart that hillary faction and barny faction. >> absolutely. >> thanks ron ache. >> two former dnc chairs that are probably wondering what is going on. >> and social media influencing
6:50 pm

6:52 pm
>> a brand any stud yeah from the university of pennsylvania say most americans don't get political reviews from social media. 4,000 twitter users found mathtive users mostly posted on non political subjects. >> food, cats, you name it. from the weekly standard kelly is here. let's talk about -- we live in this bubble a lot of people say we do. are these numbers really just within the beltway. >> it's interesting i tweet about nod:00 a.m. cats and politics. myself. >> variety space of life. >> one thing that struck me about this is journalists all over twitter and actually a quarter of verified users people with blue check marks are journalists and celebrities sports figure much smaller number. why is that? part of it is we have the kind of job we can sit at computer all day and
6:53 pm
facebook all day long. whereas a lot of americans have jobs that are in factoryes and don't necessarily have luxury of being able to sit at the computer all day and take a peek whenever they want to. >> if they're not into it looking like we are does this reveal where they're getting political information from. >> twitter versus facebook. facebook people get more political news from facebook. only about a quarter of of americans use twitter. that's heyest estimate. i've seen some as low as 12. facebook higher 75 to 80%. each there they're not necessarily getting all their political news there but they're getting some. and i think it's something important to remember when we hear stories of how russians had twitter trolls, bots. bought facebook ads. not every person is getting political news from there and only from there. they're watching news shows like this as well. >> few seconds left when we talk about that you think about people
6:54 pm
adults got their election news from john stewart and other sources like that. it's the same argument just different platform. >> great point. and that's thing you're looking -- even stuff you see on social media often it's videos for example. i mean the latest clip from snl will be viral you know on sunday on twitter and facebook. and so that's another thing to remember. twitter and facebook are not producing content. people are linking to content made elsewhere. that's excellent point as w well. >> kelly, thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> we're back after this
6:55 pm
we are the tv doctors of america, and we may not know much about medicine, but we know a lot about drama. we also know that you can avoid drama by getting an annual check-up. so go, know, and take control of your health. it could save your life. cigna. together, all the way.
