i can confirm that atf agents are on the scene. atf has an office there in colorado springs.e see the law enforcement there. so among them, you have the local officials as well as federal officials. so far we're being told from the homeland security division in colorado that state assistance has not been requested yet. and i can tell you that right now, brooke, as tom just said, they're just trying to assess the situation and figure out how to proceed. we see the command, the mobile unit there on the scene, presumably the fbi will be there soon. the fbi has an office in denver not too far away. and just in terms of planning for this kind of scenario, law enforcement has been coordinating efforts between federal, local, state levels and these active shooter scenarios. this is something that they're well versed in. and i can tell you law enforcement has been on heightened alert especially recently, brooke, given the threat environment. so you can bet that these officers are well trained and ready to handle the situation. >> i am sure they are. pamela brown, thank you so much. w

we also have a very strong presence with our federal agencies, fbi as well as atf, who works closely with the chicago police department on the e-trace program that you mentioned. we do find it to be a very useful program. we do find it to be something that arms us with the data to trace the source of weapons into neighborhoods who suffer so grievously from them. and certainly it's an example that certainly we would hope could be exported to other cities as well as you have noted. and i can tell you that we are committed to continuing to work with the city of chicago and all of our major cities in violence reduction programs. in fact, chicago was represented at the violence reduction summit that i held just last month with the mayor and the police chief, and we had a very robust discussion about the causes of violence, some of the ways in which the department could be helpful in very targeted ways, whether it is increasing our task force presence, whether it is focusing on dangerous fugitives in the area, whether it is focusing on violence prevention efforts as well. so, we remain com

what we can explain is how the atf interprets all of this, and it's a big mess. we do have a strategy for eventually repealing the nfa all together, which is what our primary goal is. that is our primary goal. and quite frankly, we're one of the only organizations that i'm aware of, at least, that have actually, that actually has that as a stated goal. we're not afraid to say it. the nfa should be ripped out, root and branch, and thrown in the trash. part of our strategy you folks will understand. 20 years ago when you looked around the country, maybe it's 25 now, tcw permits, shall issue ccw permits were not popular. we didn't see them in states all over the place. florida was probably the first. and politicians all believe the lies, you know the lies, blood was going to run in the streets. we were all going to shoot each other over parking spots. none of that has materialized. today, you have democrats and republicans holding up their ccw permit as a talisman to the gun rights movement to say look how pro-gun i am, i have a ccw permit. why is that? the reason i

joined once again by jim cavanaugh, msnbc law enforcement analyst, retired atf special agent in charge. jim, if folks on the ground are telling us that more explosions are happening right now, what would that tell you? >> well, we know the terrorists used hand grenades this the paris attacks a few days ago. so they could be using some devices like that. also could be a suicide belt or of course special teams use noise flash diversion their devices, the slang term is a flash-bang, sometimes to cover their movements, sometimes to make entry. so it could be a number of things. we just don't know. notice the fire truck moved up there. there's a great danger in these cases of fire, suicidal guy in there, light the building on fire while he is shooting or, bomb could go off he's wearing or start the building on fire. and of course the firefighters have to be protected by the special police teams first before they can put out the blaze. that's another dimension when you are dealing with these kind of things. we have had those tragedies before. so you have explosives. you have bombs, you have
