you see an adam lanza living next door to you, that kid acts a lot like that adam lanza kid, and maybe i will report something like this. sensationalizing it, i'm not sure that causes more mass murders. i think these people are sick. they're nuts. they're going to kill whether or not they're on tv or not. you want to create a lot of stir, a lot of attention, jump off a building or do something stupid, you know, in the middle of a football stadium. i don't think that seeing adam lanza or holmes or alexis or any of these or wapner, i think that creates more -- i think maybe we're seeing and hearing about it a lot more. >> i disagree. they make movie it. robert redford made "the company you keep" about the weather underground. he talked about the terrorists. that makes a terrorist romantic, and that makes me kind of sick. >> isn't that taking it a step further, then, because, you know, it's to film? it's not just reporting the nauz or telling the story, where the public has a right and a need to know what's going on and potentially maybe it will motivate them to get involved to report the

none of these measures could have stopped adam lanza. >> guest: you have got crazy people and confusion with the public and i tried to clarify that in my book. mass shootings get media coverage like nothing else. >> host: horrifying. >> guest: people relate to them more than city crimes. urban city crimes much more frequent. >> host: that's the problem. >> guest: the way politicians go after these mass crimes and the media as well the public has this misconception that mass shootings are the same. congressional research service did a study over the past 10 years. obviously some years unfortunately horrifically more but it's about 18 people a year. one of the things i think that is important for people to know. some of my girlfriends are terrified sending their kids to school. i would have loved the president instead of making it worse and exaggerating and making people more scared say to the country country -- this is almost a one off. if you are speaking to the country your children are safe. they're not in more danger. first of all one third of the countries public schools have guards

gunman adam lanza went on a shooting rampage last year. >> new details are emerging about the gunmanho opened fire in the navy yard last week. aaron alexis shot and killed 12 people. investigators may have an important clue as to why. >> there are multiple indicators that alexis held a delusional belief that he was being controlled or influenced by extremely low frequency or e.l.f., electromagnetic waves. the edging of my e.l.f. weapon on the shotgun is believed to reference these electromagnetic waves. >> the f.b.i. released this surveillance video of alexis driving into the parking garage and carrying the weapon to carry out the massacre. >> only two division crowns remain unspoken for going into wednesday night's action. the number is down to one. the tigers sent max scherzer to the hill needing a win to clinch the central. he struck out 10 an gave up two hits. benoit struck out two for the save. tigers clinched their third straight difficulties crown. the tigers can clinch the n.l. tomorrow. >> there are spots to be won in the a.l. the bombers under the raise 6-2. dejesus went ya

we don't want adam lanza having an automatic weapon. there's a $200 fee for the check and there's a lot to go through. >> guest: that control has been effected in keeping those kind of weapons out of the hands of everybody. it was originally aimed at the criminals back in the days of prohibition >> guest: i was that the atf about a month ago. they let us shoot all of the band guns. so much fun. >> host: it is fun. i have a semi-automatic version of the ak-47, which i heard a lot coming the other way when i was in the war in vietnam. >> guest: right. for me that is one of them we shot. they wouldn't let us should automatic but i was like when the world are the walking are found in the world with these things? they are so heavy. one of the things and i'm like this thing ways to ten times and it's this big and that is another misconception people face because obama is saying weapons of war on the street. no one is walking down the street with a rifle. >> host: he did say at one point these are not a problem. the problem as criminals using

jarrod loughner accused of killing six people and injuring congressman abby giffords, and adam lanza,children in the newtown massacre there. dr. keith ablow, psychiatrist and member of fox news medical a-team. good morning, keith. >> thank you, martha. martha: these three individuals on the screen were disturbed in many, many ways, but we were told after these disasters a lost different things needed to be a addressed and it doesn't seem there's a whole lot happening in the videogame arena. should there be? >> there absolutely should be. listen, that's a bankrupt argument that people make. they say, well, you look at all the people who play violent videogames, such a vast minority and troubled people end up doing terrible things. yes, but that's true of any drug and these are drugs. yes, some people can use cocaine and just have bad judgment. other people get addicted and still others become violent on drugs. this is a drug and the outliars are at risk. yet this drug has no warning from the surgeon general on it which it should. and it's legal, when most drugs are not. but this is jus

gabby giffords, holmes, the guy that shot up the movie theater, adam lanza, and now alexis. they had mental illness. all you hear about are video games and guns. all day long and all night last night video games and guns. you can't blame the video games and guns. if a criminal drinks a fifth of vodka, steals a car and goes and mows down some school kid, do you blame the car or the fifth of vodka? no. you blame the criminal. this is what we should be doing. focusing on this guy, aaron alexis and his mental issues and how he got guns with mental problems. there in lies the problem. >> i was going to get into that but we're saving that for the next segment. one thing we can say about almost all of these people is that they all have mental problems. if you look at it, which one of these people -- who would do this if he didn't have a mental problem, right? almost by definition anybody that goes and shoots a bunch of people has a mental problem. >> let's talk about the victims a little bit. we mentioned that the age range was ages 50 to 73. these are all people who had chosen the

that was the same weapon used by adam lanza and james holmes. it was bought legally and he followed all procedures to get into the building and he had security clearance for access. right now, investigators are trying to collect the evidence. the building shut down today. 3,000 employees staying home and they are working through the night to try to uncover everything that might possibly explain what led to this brutal, unthinkable crime. we should say, at some times, you get no understandable explanation. there is nothing that lets comprehend something as horrible as this can happen. we should note that people who worked with alexis said he was a good worker and no one seems to indicate he had any disagreements with anyone at the office. . overnight police releasing the names of the victims. they were all civilians who were contractors who worked here at this installation. none of them were active duty military. those killed range in ages from 46 to 73. i'll read the names we know right now. michael arnold, 59. sylvia frasier, 53. kathy gaarde,

obviously in your case, adam lanza's mother wasn't there to tell that kind of story because she was killederself. are you able to feel any sympathy or empathy for people in her position for the families of these shooters? >> of course. she's a victim herself. and it's time in america that we start looking at mental i'll ness illness with compassion and helping people who need it. this was a family that needed help, an individual that needed help and didn't get it. and what better can come of this of this time in america than if we can get help to people who really need it? >> ana group up in a musical family. your husband with harry connick, jr.'s sax player. this is ana and her brother playing the piano together. let's watch this. ♪ ♪ amen >> it's so heartbreaking to see something like that. i don't know how you have the courage. i really don't. i don't know how any of the families from sandy hook have the courage to continue but you have. and one of the reasons was isaiah, your son who had to go back to school within a month of what happened to his sister. he was at sandy hook that day.

chris, that's the same description we had of adam lanza, the shooter at sandy hook who did those same things. so are video games the problem or the fault? no. but those people who are psychologically on the edge anyway, when they play those games, chris, number one, you hone your shooting skills and number two, you desensitize yourself to the value of human life. and for those few people who act out like that, that becomes a terrible training tool. >> his chances of surviving this it seems to be given all the circumstances we now know coming into a place, storming into it picking up weapons as he went, using them as he went, he had no escape route, no plan, no exit strategy for himself. did that tell you much he didn't have a plan to get away? >> yeah. it tells us that it's consistent with so many of the stories we hear of violence in a work place scenario where an individual may plan on doing it. he may accumulate the weapons or the plans or the i.d. cards or whatever it is, but he has no exit plan. because his master plan is i'm going to go in, i'm going to express my anger, frustra

with adam lanza and the newtown shooting. it's fair to say there is is a lot of unanswered questions. just a couple of points on access to the base. we did get this statement tonight from hp confirming that alexis had been employed by a sub contracting firm called the experts, which was part of an hp contract to refresh equipment used on the navy. they went down and refreshing them, replacing them. that did apparently give him access to the base and might explain how he got in there in the first place. >> we're still waiting for the latest update from a press conference that casey hunt is attending. and likel, the -- there is information that has been developed now in the last few hours saying that this suspect had been treated multiple times for psychological issues including sleep dep revags, anger, paranoi ya. he had been treated at a va hospital in new england. rhode island, possibly massachusetts. so we are still in the process of developing this psychological profile. >> exactly. there is clearly a lot that we don't kno

clearly, that is a common theme to sandy hook, as you know, from covering adam lanza and the backgroundd this tragedy involving somebody who clearly was severely troubled, if not disturbed mentally. and so i think background checks combined with mental health, there are ways to bring together the political consensus that we need and after all, 90% or more of the american people support these common sense initiatives. many gun owners and in fact many nra members themselves. my hope is by the end of the year or certainly by the end of this session, we will have some kind of common sense measure. ecame so close. 55 votes there. and we needed 60. majority of the senate were ready to vote and 54 did vote for background checks. so i'd like to see those measures come back. >> yeah, it's a -- i'm sure it's a tougher bat willing in the house, as well. but as you say, you got votes, not enough to beat a filibuster in the senate. senator, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. >>> during the chaos of yesterday's attack at the navy yard here in washington, many families waited for hou

they go back to trying to keep the guns out of the guy like adam lanza who had guns in the home and went the newtown, connecticut, shooting and other things like strengthening the assault weapon's ban. since it's a ban to make it stronger and smart and we don't see assault weapons in california. i don't see a use for them. >> would you sign off? >> d ones i read, i probably would. >> why? >> no, i just think that we're a state that, right up until new york, enacted the tightest gun controls after their webster, connecticut, event, we have the tightest weapon's laws in the country. so to tighten up our laws more strict, i don't think it's a bad thing. we still have plenty of guns in california. >> california has all of the controls but neighboring nevada, arizona, and oregon don't. yo there is a rub. we had the big shooting in maryland, i mean in washington, d.c., and then we had another in a park in chicago. i mean it's crazy. i'll tell you, i draw the analogy all the time. you come across the border at lake tahoe, they want to know if you're bringing in fruits or vegetables and they wan

you know, you covered the adam lanza shooting, the sandy hook shooting, and we know that young man playedse violent video games for hours and hours. many do this and refine shooting skills but they lose the ability to identify with human tragedy. you and i and everybody else becomes a number, a point, a medal they can win instead of a loss of another beating human heart. and one more time it sounds like we're seeing that played out again. and al, for the video industry and everybody to say not me, we understand few people who play those games actually act out. but there are those who stand on the edge of the abyss and look for the chance to jump over like this guy did today. >> so let me get this right. you're saying that the possible outcome of these obsessive video games is one to sharpen your shooting skills but secondly to really desensitize you to your targets being human beings. >> whether one does that intentionally or that's just a result, you become numb. totally numb to the human experience of pain, suffering. and you start to equate that with just one more score to put up on a

was the main murder weapon used from the atrium above and also the weapon you'll remember used by adam lanzaown massacre and james holmes in the aurora massacre. we do not know how he came upon the ar-15 and how it was bought. he had security clearance for this building. investigators are working through the night to collect all of the evidence and scouring the facility to find out everything that might possibly explain what led to this brutal unthinkable crime and sometimes is there no good explanation. we have seen a trickle of law enforcement officials, police and fbi right behind us here. the bulk of the work happening all night several blocks away. something we should note here. his coworkers and the people who did come across him at the navy yard, say that alexis seemed to be a good worker and a lot of these people say there was no indications that he had any kind of disagreements with anyone here. now as we mentioned, against the man you're looking at right now, he has been identified as aaron alexis, 34 years old. a former navy reservist who had been working as a military contractor,

i mean, look at adam lanza. even though he didn't work at a military facility, the symptoms are still there. and there are people that should have noticed these symptoms, like those police officers did. i'm sure they're not the only people that were told, i'm hearing voices or whatever. i mean, he talked to his father about the ptsd episodes after 9/11. working on the scene there. so there is a problem of communication around these people who are themselves victims, and then create far worse victims in society. i mean it wouldn't have mattered if this guy was working in a mcdonald's, erin, his attitude and his death wish was such that he was going to go out and kill people. and whether he walked in to that mcdonald's he worked in or walked into this navy base, the problem is this guy was a loaded weapon himself, and nobody around him took notice of it enough to bother to do anything about it. >> and you know what's shocking here, because obviously there's different ways you can get discharged from the navy, righ

this harkens us back to the adam lanza shooting at sandy hook where initially that young shooter with multiple guns was carrying his brother's i.d. and his brother was wrongfully identified as the shooter. law enforcement knows where this i.d. came from today. how did the shooter get his hands on that? that's a story yet to be resolved. >> clint van zandt, thank you. again, right now in the nation's capitol, an active search for two people who according to the police chief have some of connection to the shooting that happened here. 12 people are dead, upwards of 15 shot, one of them is recovering right now, police officer here in washington, d.c., several other officers are injured. we're expecting a news conference at 4:00. the fbi taking the lead. we'll continue to monitor things on the ground but for now i'll turn things over to folks at "the cycle."

disciplinary problems in the military, i'm not going to compare them to shooters necessarily like adam lanza or james holmes, but how do you begin to differentiate somebody who is a potential serious threat as opposed to somebody who's had some problems over the years? >> sure. well, you know, we go back to the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. we've seen this guy use guns at least two times in anger management issues. we're told he's paranoid. we're told that he hears voices, that his treating psychologist was aware of that. chris, this is the type of guy that commits what appears to be a violence in a workplace act. he's kind of an offense accumulator. in essence, he thinks people are against him. somebody wrongs him if he doesn't get paid. these things start to stack up, one upon another upon another and eventually he has a couple of pounds of offenses and this may be the way he acted out. >> clint van zandt, general barry mccaffrey, still many questions to be asked and we'll talk about it throughout the morning. thanks to both of you. >> thank you. >>> the other big sto

>> this harkens back to the shooting at sandy hook where adam lanza, he was carrying his brother's i.d. and his brother was initially identified in this. we're told that law enforcement has identified the person who onlies that i.d. badge. and they are interviewing that man right now trying to determine did he give the badge to the shooter. was it stolen or sold? was it part of a greater plot? again, there are so many pieces of this investigation right now and they all need to be done as quickly as possible. we talk about linking the dots. these are dots that have to be linked very quickly before somebody has a chance to strike again. >> clint van zandt. let's go back to tom costello. what do you have for us. >> reporter: i'm going to step out of the shot i want you to see john's zoomed in shot. we have seen groups of individuals now -- this is the first time we've seen this for the last five or six hours leaving the general vicinity. they look like civilians and we have seen uniformed personnel leaving the general area of the navy yard and also next door we should tell you is the depa

if there was an age cutoff as was suggested with adam lanza and kids, this guy is 34 years old so itldn't necessarily apply. more on this coming up. in the meantime a lot of news breaking overnight. for that, let's go to heather nauert. >> good morning to you guys. we've got a lot of stuff going on this morning. we begin at this hour with these incredible images of the costa concordia cruise ship. it took 19 hours in total but now that ship is sitting upright off the coast of italy. look at this and see how much damage there was. the bow is almost completely mangled. you can see sections caved in. the color of the ship has turned from white to brown. now that the ship has been righted it will be strengthened to better withstand the winter months and be towed away and turned into scrap next year. >>> a live look at the white house dark there right now but it was on lockdown yesterday for 30 minutes. a guy threw fireworks over the north fence at the white house. this happened so soon after that shooting rampage at the navy yard, police seen tackling the suspect to the ground. he has no

do, and if this man had been institutionalized something we seem to never do anymore, in fact, adam lanza's after newton. wanted to institutionalize her son. she was worried about him doing something. but unless you have been convicted you can not be institutionalized. what do we do about this, david? >> there's a fine line and i don't disagree that he agree we shouldn't politicize this issue because it is not a political issue. there is fine line between systemically failures and what we have with individual rights and privacy rights. without that conviction, that is the protection of our legal system. but in light of the safety that's needed i think we need to look at the system. when you look at aaron alexis, he had problems in the navy. there was an attempt to discharge him with a general discharge which would have given a red flag and maybe led to further treatment and further assessment. he had issues that were clearly along a violent strain, even in his private sector, even after the military in his reservist days. so we need to look at the systemically issues. we need to not cast a

that's what happened with adam lanza. that's what happened with holmes in aurora.ing point when america looks at itself and says, enough. i urge people to watch this interview with the warrens. they've been decimated by guns now. all the families at the naval yesterday are devastated by guns. i still have contact with some of the families at sandy hook. they'll never recover from what happened to them. and yet, the only answer, it seems to me, and i'm an outsider here. i'm british. we don't have this gun culture in my country. but the only answer in america to all these tragedies seems to be that the nra come out and say if only everybody else had a gun, they would have killed the shooter and more guns get sold. there's more guns in circulation. yet, yesterday the naval yard is one of the most secure bases imaginable. it's crawling in armed security. still, somebody could get in because he got access to a gun and was mentally deranged. it's the lethal cocktail. look at this guy's background. he was mentally ill. he was hearing voices. he was having treatment. he'd
