when three men are dropped off in front of the bataclan. >> they stand around for a bit and they sendhey then throw that samsung phone in a trash bin. >> they approach the entrance and open fire. [ gun fire ] >> when we heard gun shots, explosions, at first i thought it was part of the show, it was fireworks or something dropped. and immediately i turned my head on the left and i seen three men wearing black clothes and holding assault rifles. >> the men move through the venue shouting god is great. the terrified crowd squatters. some people try to escape and others hit the ground and play dead. the terrorists keep shooting. >> while one was firing, the other was reloading so they could fire continuously. there's a lot of bloodshed quickly. >> there was a friend next to me and he said someone is firing on us and stay low and everything and said you were hit and i look at my leg and the bullet went straight through and i was on the floor with a dead body on me and all the crowds tried to move toward the stage. so i had a lot of people trying to walk on me, walk on us. >> you could hear

we've seen these targets attacked, you mentioned bataclan.rther a decade in southeast asia and indonesia, clubs like this were attacked, you got a lot of people coming together in a form of culture that is not acknowledged as acceptable by people who are radical islamists. that said, jake, there is a significant difference from bataclan. my experience in look willing at these cases is if you have one individual, obviously bataclan and the paris attacks was a major sell. when you have one individual with the likelihood that that individual was mentally sane, decreases, as soon as you get a conspiracy that the people who are sort of mentally unstable get weeded out, so i'd want to know initially if this person acted alone what his mental state was. i'm not sure we can determine this was terrorism yet, if we don't know the mental state of the person who did it, jake. >> fair enough. i was just alluding to the fact that law enforcement said they were investigating this as an act of terrorism. we have much more coming up, stay with us, including b

but as you said, it's happened in bataclan, san bernardino, paris. this is just the latest of these attacks. >> i know he called on muslims to help police, et cetera, but they almost talk about this as bystanders and they have no idea how this would have happened. in chattanooga, the killer, the terrorist declared he wanted to establish islam days before he committed the act. san bernardino, they were part of the hooda school. we as muslims in orlando need to realize we need to counter the ideology before they become militants, violent extremism and change the mantra from violent extremism to violent muslim. i'm not seeing enough anger from muslim ideology. in this month of atoinment, we should look in the mirror, and say, what is it about the ideas we harbor with us in the countries we live in? this radical clearly divided the world into islam and the land of war. he believed gay bars, et cetera, aren't part of iran, aren't part of saudi arabia where muslims are supreme and he wanted to establish that here. we as muslims need to stand and declare in

. >> you say it's like the shooting at the bataclan theater in paris last november. that's because of the proximity of people infined area of space? >> that's right. i was just over there and had a tour by the local law enforcement. it's dark. it's loud. as i think i've seen on the news this morning from a couple of the witnesses, at first they didn't know. they just thought it was part of the music. then it's hard once you're in a nightclub or a concert or something like that, there's only so many exits. it's just an easy place to quickly take on soft targets in a short amount of time. >> congressman, a lot of people watching right now probably want to know, is there any chatter out there, any suggestion that this is more than one attack, that there might be others planned? you're the chairman of the house select committee on intelligence. what are you being told? >> as i've been saying for over a year now, we're at the highest terrorist threat level since 9/11. there's a reason i'm saying that. it's because we're continuing to see growing radicalization over the in

we did have the bataclan in paris, willie, but that was an unusual situation there. this is not the typical target of internationally-inspired terrorists. when they're saying it's terrorism and turning it over to the fbi as the lead, they have some indicators that this was targeted for this particular club and he came with the assault rifle, as you described. that's why we have so much carnage inside there because the velocity out of those rifles is awful and so you have 42 wounded and maybe 20 people killed. if it wasn't for orlando p.d. who bocked them up and keeping them static until s.w.a.t. could get to him and with the explosive entry and the bear cat, it could have been even worse. we could have had lots, lots worse killing in here. >> this was a coordinated effort between state and local police that started at 2:00 in the morning in orlando, jim. what would have been the protocol there. it turned into a hostage situation and over the course of three hours they decided to at 5:00 in the morning to send in the s.w.a.t. team. what was the decision to send in s.w

here they are calling it the american le bataclan. they are sensitive to that and of course they too have suffered this same type of tragedy. >> you were inside the le bataclan concert hall this morning. talk about the fact the problems of being in such a closed confined space. i imagine it is not dissimilar to what was going on in the pulse nightclub. we don't know the exact footprint of the building, but we are showing our videos right now, showing and ariel view, not large. formerly known as lorenzo's restaurant. few doors going in and out. and they are not big doors usually. what does that do in terms of presenting problems for safety when you have someone deranged enough to bring explosive bombs or a rifle and attack people? >> what we have here is a suicide hostage barricade. the le bataclan theater is on a broad boulevard but a narrow building with a major central hallway there and then elevated other section. as i understand, this building was compartmentmentalized but it doesn't matter what the interior lay out is. the design

and if one remembers when president olan said about the bataclan attack, it was organized in syria andith complicity of american citizens. unless we're vigilant. >> so you see a similarity. do you understand in terms of israel, i mean, so many of the people who live in israel, just about everybody has been part, at one point of the idf. males and females. so you've got more people more comfortable with the military, more equipped to respond. but what you're saying is that in spite of the weaponry, if you have a proper understanding and proper focus, no matter what you're carrying with them. >> the book day of the dead envisions such an attack. the difference if the mind set of the people is that we're at war with radical islamic terror and citizens obligation to take care of himself as well as assist law enforcement, the situation changes entirely if one thinks of ones self as a victim, one will be a victim. >> it's just a question of when it's going to happen again. and i think it's just a question of time. you know? someone saying we don't want to be called islamophobes. the guy is y

. >> there are a lot of similarities being drawn about this attack and the one at the bataclan club inan with one automatic weapon, so it seems. so, apart from his training as a security guard, do you suspect that maybe there was something else here, more training we're not aware of at this point? >> i don't know. it's a good question but that will be something they'll try to look at. was there a small group of terrorists training and others are going to do other attacks along the way at a later date? and that's kind of what happened with farook in san bernardino. he was looking two years earlier to do an attack with a group out of los angeles, except the fbi arrested the whole group and he had to post pone his idea until he did the attack in san bernardino. these are the connections the fbi will try and look at. the email traffic, phone calls and text messages. see if he was using encrypted applications which is going to make it difficult to crack those codes and find out who he was talking to if there was anybody else involved. your guest mentioned how quickly the radicalization proc

or at the bataclan. always of these things are just powerful reminders, hey, change your focus.t shouldn't be, oh, it's too bad, what a bummer that the president has been interrupted again by terror, when he should be focusing on cumulous clouds. that's the problem. because they don't want to. it's not where their mind-set is or their ideology tends to shift them. they don't want to deal with the threat of terror or call it radical islamic terrorism. they've been very clear on the record on that. >> juan, i had this secret fantasy that these climate meetings are a front for secret anti-terror meetings. that's why i call it a fantasy. >> the fact is, they do have summits and meetings about terrorism. it's just the case that they had this one, and they scheduled a bunch of them, especially now -- >> after terror attacks. >> believe me, they're not involved in terror attacks. >> that just shows the prevalence of the attacks. [ overlapping speakers ] >> liberals honestly believe that climate change is the root cause of terror. they've said it. they've bought into this that with the

however, there was a dynamic about the theater, the bataclan, what works and what does not work and the the police in france at the time were trained to wait for special operatives, for swat types to go in to the bataclan. they are also dealing with superior firepower there. the men that went in paris only had revolvers. we thought at that time that god forbid something like this happen in the united states, we would be better off because all of the officers have swat-type training and are trained to go in and take on, however, that wasn't the reality in orlando. what we do with this documentary is take you through what happened there and lessons learned. here is a look. >> 20 minutes after they first arrived at the bataclan concert hall, there are two local police who got a call that something was going on, there was violence inside, they needed to go there as quickly as possible. >> armed only with handguns, the two police officers enter the venue. >> when these two police officers come in, they engage in a fire fight with one of the hostage takers. they managed to kill him as he fall

questions how long french police waited to go into the bataclan. that's a question. we don't know the answer but center a question as they go to the post-mortem on this. >> the lethality of it. the deadliest shooting in american history, the most lives taken under the guise of terror as murder since 9/11, but what does it mean in terms of the analysis, how many people were killed here? what does that mean in terms of looking how it develops a threat going forward? >> well, there's great concern moving forward about the fact that there is easy access to guns in the united states. much easier access than in just about any other western country. there are also is a significant amount of radical in the united states. sure, fewer than in europe, but the fbi has 1,000 cases they're actively investigating. these are the most radical which they believe have some propensity to carry out some sort of terrorism in the united states. al qaeda a few years ago told its followers exploit, get guns at gun shows and launch the biggest attack you can. we saw in the bataclan with 90 ki

europe on high alert after the paris massacre where 130 died, most killed when a gunman burst into a bataclannd brussels 32 murdered in march. germany has not seen an attack on the scale but feared it would be targeted. the motives behind today's shooting are still unclear. the assailant seemed confused. >>> we're back in a moment with the marines correcting a seven decade old mistake about this iconic world war ii image. okay, so what's our latest data say? our customer is a 21-year-old female. heavily into basketball. wait. data just changed... now she's into disc sports. ah, no she's not. since when? since now. she's into tai chi. she found disc sports too stressful. hold on. let me ask you this... what's she gonna like six months from now? who do we have on aerial karate? steve. steve. steve. and alexis. uh, no. just steve. just steve. just steve. live business, powered by sap. when you run live, you run simple. that reminds me... anyone have occasional constipation, diarrhea... ...gas, bloating? yes! one phillips' colon health probiotic cap each day helps defend against occasional digest

is yet another attack against our country and our freedoms and way of life and one that echos the bataclan massacre that happened in paris. 89 dead last fall. overnight in our country 50 folks, 50 folks out on a saturday night having a good time in downtown orlando. 53 are wounded and many in critical condition fight for their lives at this very moment in what's being identified as a domestic terrorist attack. coming up, some gripping and heartfelt witness accounts of what they saw when this happened. >> sounds like something they come out and he turned around and the person next to you is like screaming. there's blood splattering. i'm terrible at golf. he is. but i'd like to keep being terrible at golf for as long as i can. new patented ensure enlive has hmb plus 20 grams of protein to help rebuild muscle. for the strength and energy to do what you love. new ensure enlive. always be you. that's what i'm talking about! fueled up and ready to rock. hey, i bet you're ready to start a great vacation, huh. one last work email. what?! no, let's get this vacation started! laptop close on three,

. >> echos in this attack of what happened in paris, the bataclan concert center, the initial shooting, a pause, and s.w.a.t. teams go in. >> is it in the training group to do this, to kill and maim as many as you can and then stand by and wait for law enforcement to do their thing? maybe. if you're going to commit an act like this or the acts we've talked about in brussels and paris, the whole key here is going to be i'm going to die. i will either make law enforcement kill me or have some death of making a statement about what i've just accomplished. is there some of that going on? my guess is yes. >> one thing that seems different so far -- again, we could learn more as we hear from eyewitnesss inside -- apparently nobody heard the gunman make any declarations, did not speak. any kind of communication from the gunman. >> that also may be that if this is sort of an isis sort of motivated event, that they have learned that announcing in advance gives them a disadvantage because people may start to scatter. my guess is that this is a blind shot. you're going into a club, a lot of peopl

why do bad people want to go to schools, movie theaters to go to clubs like music venues like the bataclan like the pulse? because it's easy. it's high capacity. to be able to have a lot of people there. it's a target-rich environment. >> you know where there's guns in bars? in airports. >> in texas? >> yes. >> i know you have this thing about assault weapons. you can see the polls are pretty clear. americans say we don't understand why you would be giving guns, assault weapons to terrorists. or to mass killers. >> do we do that? >> yeah. look what the mass killers use, time and again, they're using assault-style weapons. >> so i've sat here patiently. listening to all this. >> is that evidence of -- >> the valerie jarrett talking points. >> go at me. >> but you're wrong on so many points. >> number one there's not a single proposed change in gun laws that would have prevented orlando. not one, not background checks, not terror watchlists, not one. assault weapons, none of that stuff would have changed orlando. it's still would have happened. why are background checks increasing background

we have the candles that unfortunately we've been accustomed to when you think of bataclan and paris, signs respected by everyone here from the lesbian, gay and community and the word i heard most tonight, brian, solidarity and they will fight on. one individual from orlando said this is the stone wall inn. it is very symbolic to the community and may have been chipped today but it's not going to fall. >> richard lui, thanks for your reporting all day into the night. simm is senior vice president of the national gay and lesbian chamber of commerce joining us in washington. sam, the entire point of your organization is a businesses either owned by or catering largely to the lgbt community so the definition of why this is terrorism is obvious. this is one community, one population targeted and killed that leaves you with a very, very sad day and a sad state of affairs for your effort. >> yes. it's a very dark day indeed here in washington and around the country as the lgbt community is coming together with losses. i heard a lot of conversation about the difference between this terrorism

same reason why the bataclan was an attractive target. they were both soft targets, they had a large mass of people crowded together, confusion, trampling. it's a target-rich environment and a soft target. so it holds no opposition to him. >> i think you're making my point. which is this guy was unstable and seeking to kill people. >> but i don't know -- >> unstable -- >> you're confusing unstable with islamism. i might agree that islamism is unstable. that's what drove him. >> the open question in my mind is the settled question around the table. but an open question in my mind is he someone who used islam and radical islam as a cover for the fact that he was a crazy person? you think of hinckley, what did hinckley do? he said i shot ronald reagan for jodie foster. >> i don't think you have to be mentally unstable to be a terrorist. >> you can be an evil person who ascribes to sharia law and be a radical islamic terrorist. that's very much the case made by the choice of his two potential targets. disney and pulse. >> he was a loser. >> w

now, we did have the bataclan at paris but this is not the typical target of internationally inspired terrorists. so when they're t like they have indicators that this was targeted for this particular club and he came with the assault rifle as you described. that's why we have so much carnage inside there because the velocity out of those rifle, it's just awful. so you have 42 wounded and maybe 20 people killed. if it wasn't for orlando pd engaging him immediately, boxing him up, keeping him static until s.w.a.t. could get to him and rescuing everybody with entry and the bearcat, it could have been even worse. >> this is a coordinated effort between local police, state and federal authorities obviously that started at 2:00 in the morning in orlando, jim. what would be the protocol there. this turned into a hostage situation. over the course of about three hours they decide then at 5:00 in the morning to send in the s.w.a.t. team. what would that decision be like to send in s.w.a.t.? >> it's the on-scene tactical commander. the orlando s.w.a they're going to make the decision reading t

and so what we'll need to see a contrast between this attack and bataclan.this is closer to san bernardino, where this individual is doing things in the name of isis, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's being directed by isis. and this is where we make the distinction between in the name of isis or at the behest of isis, which is something that charlie has been writing about. so part of it is the bayat, the pledge of allegiance, is only half the battle. so it's not enough that you say i'm with isis, and automatically now you're part of the organization. so my position on this is i'm a little bit circumspect given the fact that he was on the apps, on the gay apps, that he has been involved in the community. there's a lot going on that we need to know more, whether this is genuine radicalization or whether this is the kinds of behavior we see in psychology that's called, you know, sort of covering behavior. when you're engaged in camouflaging your real identity. you talked about that earlier, don. so, you know, i think we need more information, or it could

. >> only seven months after bataclan and more. you, benjamin hall out of france, a country still on edge. >>> more from orlando. first, a lot of news to cover in politics. word today of a major hack attack digging up details on donald trump. and you will not guess what the hack attack occurred. that's next. i work 'round the clock. i want my blood sugar to stay in control. so i asked about tresiba®. ♪ tresiba® ready ♪ tresiba® is a once-daily, long-acting insulin that lasts even longer than 24 hours. i want to trim my a1c. ♪ tresiba® ready ♪ tresiba® provides powerful a1c reduction. releases slow and steady. works like your body's insulin. when my schedule changes... i want something that delivers. ♪ tresiba® ready ♪ i can take tresiba® any time of day. so if i miss or delay a dose, i take it when i remember, as long as there's at least 8 hours between doses. once in use, it lasts 8 weeks without refrigeration... twice as long as lantus®, which lasts 4 weeks. tresiba® is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. do

we saw that play out in the bataclan conference in paris. >> and we're being told president obama will address the nation at 1:30 p.m. eastern. that's 10:30 a.m. pacific to talk about this i would expect the president to address the sorrow of the nation and talk about this is the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the united nations. i would expect him to note the radical islamic ideology while cautioning the american people not to suggest that all muslims or a majority of muslims have revulsion when looking at this act. >> absolutely right, jake. and what stands out in the united states, the vast majority of the american muslim community absolutely reject this is isis ideology. that being said, there have been a thousand investigations opened by the fbi into radical extremists, suspected radical extremists in the united states. 800 of those connections are of individuals who are believed to have some sympathy with isis. so there is a significant problem of radicalization in the united states. we've seen a string of plots and attacks over the last few years, jake. one thing we'v

we saw that obviously in the bataclan theater in paris. we haven't heard any claim of responsibility from isis yet, but erin, it's important to note that typically, isis has not claimed responsibility for its attacks in turkey and that's because they want to feed on the sense of uncertainty. they want to feed on the sense of chaos, striking the istanbul airport is a very symbolic target. this is a bridge between the east and the west. turkey is a very outward looking, western-friendly muslim country and all of these things that isis hates, and we did hear the spokesperson for isis adnanny calling for more attacks during ramadan either by people who are in isis or support isis or just inspired by isis, we are now, erin, in the last ten days of ramadan. these are considered to be the ten holiest days of the holiest month of the year. traditionally this is a time for carrying out major attacks, but certainly we can say three bombers, all of them armed. this was a coordinated attack. it took some planning and so far it is fitting all of the pr

look at bataclan, look at paris, look at london, look at brussels, look at the attack in san bernardinort of a strategy. homosexuals are being thrown off roofs, off tall buildings by isis in the middle east. why? because they're homosexuals. if we get this wrong, if the administration tries to paint this as some kind of homegrown, some kind of hate crime, then they will have demonstrated one thing, they haven't understood the last 15 years and that isis is here to kill all infidels, especially the lgbt community. >> rod, your thoughts on this investigation. i was thought early on that the fbi agent went as far as he did answering that question about leanings towards radical islamic ideology. now having heard that the fbi may have had this guy at one time or another under investigation it seems to kind of make a little bit more sense. >> well, it does, bret. it makes a lot of sense. it all goes together and comes together because you look at this guy's history, we're just starting to learn a lot more about who this guy, omar mateen, is, and you look at some of the investment that he has

. >> before istanbul, we saw inghamazi at work at the bataclan theater in paris.n that attack last november, isis fighters, heavily armed and wearing explosives, killed concert goers at random. 89 people died in that attack. one attacker was killed by gun fire and his own explosives. the two others blew themselves up. >> for them, the mission is not complete if they don't commit suicide at the end. if they are captured alive somehow they do not believe that they reap all of the spiritual benefits and rewards from the operation as they do if they die at the end of it. >> a heavily armed terrorist who wants to die. a deadly combination for anyone who gets in his way. randy kaye, cnn, new york. >>> with us again, cnn senior international correspondent ivan watson, and daily beast editor and co-author of "isis, inside the army of terror" and clarissa ward who you just saw in randi's piece. >> this tactic of using guns and suicide vests to cause as much damage as possible. we saw it in in paris and this attack how new of a tactic is it? >> it's not something that perha

if you think back to the attack in france with "charlie hebdo," also at the bataclan and the restaurantsparis in fall last year, and enough this one. these guys need to go out and at every opportunity talk to the media, 9-1-1, and they pledge allegiance again and again and again because they understand that video or that audio really will resonate and amplify their attack. so to a certain stenyou understand why the fbi and justice department did not want to release this information but it conflicted with what we heard from the fbi director himself earlier last week, when he was very clear that omar mateen -- -- >> we're still waiting to hear whether the killer's wife will face charges. now here's what her family and former teacher say she may not have understood what her husband was planning, even if she did know about it. that and more of the 9-1-1 transcripts with a lawyer, next. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, and you're talking to your doctor about your medication... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further dama

steve, one official compared this attack to the shooting at the bataclan theater in paris.nything that this shooter did that stands out to you, something that isis teaches? >> well, he did things that isis might teach. but we won't know whether he got it directly from isis. what he was doing and why the casualties were so high was that he had knowledge of small unit tactics. he knew how to fire, he knew how to reload, he knew how to keep the attack moving. he even had time to call 911 and make a statement. so this was a very trained and poised individual. i can't tell you where he got that training. but certainly he had it. >> well, he worked for a security firm that had federal contracts for the past fine years. nine years. steve, you're a former fbi agent, the team didn't see any specific signs he have plotting an attack even though they did interview him three times over these past few years. some of his colleagues were complaining that he was saying things supportive of isis, very very anti-gay rhetoric, as well. looking back and obviously all of us are smarter with hin

. >> echos in this attack of what happened in paris, the bataclan concert center, the initial shooting, a pause, and s.w.a.t. teams go in. >> is it in the training group to do this, to kill and maim as many as you can and then stand by and wait for law enforcement to do their thing? maybe. if you're going to commit an act like this or the acts we've talked about in brussels and paris, the whole key here is going to be i'm going to die. i will either make law enforcement kill me or have some sort of effect through my own death of making a statement about what i've just accomplished. is there some of that going on? my guess is yes. >> one thing that seems different so far -- again, we could learn more as we hear from eyewitnesss inside -- apparently nobody heard the gunman make any declarations, did not speak. any kind of communication from the gunman. >> that also may be that if this is sort of an isis sort of motivated event, that they have learned that announcing in advance gives them a disadvantage because people may start to scatter. my guess is that this is a blind shot. you're goi

he might have been radicalized if that's what this is, but you have the similarities here to the bataclan nightclub attack. what do you think this is more like? islamic terror like that was or more like a hate crime? i mean, yes, he picked a soft target, but it was very clear he had a very specific homophobia and issue with the gay and lesbian community. >> well, erin, i think it's important for us to remember we always want to attach our values and our judgment as a free nation on what individuals do when they don't agree with those values. if you follow isis and the teachings that they put out their version of sharia law, there is no tolerance for being gay, there is no tolerance actually in some cases for being a woman, there's no tolerance for being a christian or a jew or any other kind of infidel by their definition. if you're not isis, they'll kill you even if you're al qaeda. even if you're another islamic extreme group, you're still an enemy of theirs. we keep trying to do that, yes, this is all of the above, a hate crime, a terrorist crime, isis-inspired crime, if you will, but

so the bataclan in paris, a theater, a nightclub, airports. airports, what's most interesting about this, of all the places we have seen, this happened in brussels and here, airports are generally thought to be harder targets. they are not cafes or nightclubs. there is security. but of course, there isn't that much security because you have to allow travelers to come in and out. >> the sheer volume of people versus how much security. >> people don't realize but you have literally millions of people going in and out of airports every day. you can't have highly elaborate screening procedures everywhere. so they seem to be searching for places like that. where you can get a big impact but where it is still not a hard target. that's what makes one think it's probably something like isis or it may be one of the other jihadi groups in syria. there are many. isis usually claims responsibility. this is an unusual case where in turkey, there have been a number of these kind of attacks and neither isis nor anyone has in many cases taken responsibility.

we have to contact these attacks, bataclan theater in paris, the brussels attack at the airport, san tel aviv. let's not forget tel aviv just a few days ago. now orlando. this seems to be potentially the new m.o. large-scale attacks like 9/11 may not be the way they wish to proceed. low investment, very cheap. one guy, a couple of guys, some. semi-automatic weapons, explosives, super cheap. creates enormous fear. remember, 2002 the webeltway washington, d.c. sniper. one man with a spotter shut down d.c. that's an incredible rate of return. >> i remember distinctly going to a gas station worrying about going side to side in case you got word the guy was nearby. it did shut down the area for some time. >> we put tarps up. do you remember at the gas station so people couldn't see you pumping gas in case they were going to shoot you. this could be the next wave of terrorism. they like the spectacle, the big attack. but this is really high rate of return on small investment. >> fighting that, when you talk to the officials all the time, how do they step up the fight against -- you know, i

we've talked about whether it was bataclan or the restaurants in ares, entry waway of the airt in brussels, the so-called soft targets. you're a detective and i'm surrounded by law enforcement and the fbi a, when i hear soft target, that is everywhere we go every gay o day outside of a military base or police headquarters. everywhere is a soft target for the most part. >> we live in a very open society. i mean, we go back to times square and trying to detonate his car. yes, we live in a very open society and that's why law enforcement has to get it right every single day. they don't have a chance of one day we made a mistake or we missed this. they have to get it right every single day. and as manny has said on your show, this is what the responsibility of law enforcement and current law enforcement will have to be. what we have to learn from this incident is how in the future after the fbi maybe questions someone three times, how that person may be targeted. so if they buy a gun or a long rifle in the last week, the fbi or local law enforcement may have to re-enter view that person to see

standard operating procedures, and so what we will need to to see is a contrast of this attack and bataclan, and so it does not mean that he is necessarily directed by isis, and this is distinction between in the name of isis or at the behest of isis which is something that charlie has been writing about. so part of it is that the pledge of allegiance is only half of the battle. baghdadi has to accept your pledge. so it is not enough that you say, i'm with isis, and autot automatical automatically, you are part of the organization. so my position on this is that i'm a little bit circumspect given the fact that he was not on -- that he was on the gay apps and involved in the community, and lot going on that we need to know more whether this is general radicalization, or whether it is the kinds of the behavior that we see in psychology that's called sort of the covering behavior. when you are engaged in camouflaging your real identity. you talked about it earlier, don. and so, i think that we need more information or it could also be a combination. i asked charlie, what happens as far as isis

theatergoers in colorado, people at the bataclan in paris, you don't know. there's a live show going on. there is a lot of noise already. there is perhaps rhythmic and sharp music and you don't know and your senses are running behind because the last thing you're thinking you're going to witness a deranged terrorist gunman, who is bent on killing 50 people, shooting one 103 people as was the case last night. remember we are covering this as what it is, a hate crime, yes, but also an act of terrorism. but make no mistake. it was targeted at the lgbt community. stewart milk has been able to join us. he is co-founder and president of the harvey milk foundation. harvey milk, he was assassinated. he was the first openly gay person elected to public office in california when he sought a seat on the board of supervisors. stewart, i'll start you wherever you wish to start. your dark thoughts this sunday. >> since you mentioned my uncle brian, he said let the bullets that smash through my brain smash through every closet door. he wanted those bullets to be the last v

a horrific thing to imagine and no one can truly comprehend and something that happened at the bataclanhers climbed out through the window after police removed an air conditioner and they were able to jump out into the street and so far seven of the 50 people coupled have been identified and that means family members and friends are desperately gathering outside of hospitals and hoping that their missing loved ones are being treated inside and are alive. >> we're spreading his picture on the media just in case he's hurt and a nurse see it and recognize him, but you just do that by default. i know -- >> the shooter identified as a 29-year-old man, omar mir saddiqui mateen. police say he called 91120 minutes into the attack and pledged allegiance to isis and mentioned of the boston marathon bombing. they thwarted a similar man today a man with weapons and explosive materials that could be used with pipe bombs was arrested on his y to e los angeles gay pride festival. police called him for prowling around and thank god they did and they found his car and found that arsenal. let's get to je

bigger than just an active shooter where you may have a suicide hostage barricade like you saw at bataclanhese officers have to actually put in the sensors, have to make these determinations. it's also multiagency. chief mina was the principal agency, you have the u.s. marshals, the fbi, all of them will have s.w.a.t. assets working the assault. that's why they had to take the time, figure out what the sheert was, come up with plan of action and execute a dynamic entry. >> malcolm nance, thanks for weighing in as always. >> my pleasure. >>> the trum movement has a strategy coup, but does it have any chance of working? you laugh. you worry. you do whatever it takes to take care of your family. and when it's time to plan for your family's future, we're here for you. we're legalzoom, and for over 10 years we've helped families just like yours with wills and living trusts. so when u're ready, start with us. doing the right thing has never been easier. legalzoom. legal help is here. every ingredient is the main ingredient. the new green goess cobb with avocado, bacon, freshly made dressing, tom

. >> there was a newspaper from overseas that called this america's bataclan, in reference to the clubhere in paris. >> and this one we're looking at now is from the nonprofit organization rebel and riot. it shows a heartbeat pattern but in the end you see the rainbow there trailing off. that's a tribute to the victims. and they say this was a hate crime and they stand with the victims. >> the pst saying it is not only a terrorist crime but it is a hate crime indeed. all around the world, city hall, tel aviv lit up in pride colors. >> the freedom tower in new york as well. the empire state building dark last night also in tribute. >> we'll leave you with this image. >>> this morning on a special edition of >>> this morning on a special edition of "world news now," developments from orlando as we learn new details on the horrific nightclub massacre. >> we're getting images of the moment s.w.a.t. teams confronted the shooter. [ gunfire ] you can hear that firefight play out as hundreds of clubgoers run for their lives. dozens of victims have already been declared dead, dozens more gravel

people inside of a closed place as we saw in orlando, as we saw in brussels at the airport, and bataclander what's happening. we don't know who this person is, this armed man that we have these reports of. but you know, your mind goes to all other examples that we had recently. kt mcfarland joins us now as we look at the scene. kt, we spoke with you yesterday. you talked about the ongoing concern these kind of incidents are the plan of jihadists around the world. we don't know if this one fits that description or not yet. we just don't know. welcome. >> yeah. you know, it would be irresponsible of us to to jump to any conclusions. germany is where over a million refugees have come. not all are from syria. a lot are from other parts of the muslim world. we know isis and radical islamic groups promised they will use those migrant flows, to throw in some terrorists in those groups and they have threatened that this month, such as the month of ramadan, is a time when they will have attacks all over the world, we've seen in the united states and other attacks throughout the year in europe and

. >> obviously the tee up there is about the attack at the bataclan which does bear some eerie resemblance, two big motivations. one is as you did so well and we try to do here at cnn across the board is you want to respect the victims and remember and remind what people went through. the second is that you want to understand tactically how you perceive a threat because that's how you deal with prevention going forward. what happened in orlando that they're dealing with right now with the police and their tactics, those were supposed to be lessons learned coming out of paris so the questions repeat. >> in going to paris today, i just wondered, is the city still reeling because it was admirable the way they just went about their daily lives right after the attack. >> i think that -- i think both conditions wind up being true. like we've unfortunately suffered here in new york city. they are stubbornly clinging to their cafe lifestyle. they're not changing. that is parisian is about. however, is the perception different? is the reality different? are you worried in a way you weren't before?

people are drawing similarities to the attack at the bataclan theater in paris last month -- last novemberon and some training. the question to you, do you see signs that mateen might have had some sort of specialized training, killing so many people? >> i think mateen had some skills with an assault rifle and a pistol that were above the usual abilities of the average gun owner. this could have been indications of training from other people who had had this training, maybe radicalized people who had given him the training. but it doesn't indicate necessarily that he had intended -- or attended terrorist training camp, anything like that. but he did have some familiarity with it. >> steve, this is an attack at a gay nightclub. many people are calling this a hate crime. but we're talking about a suspect who pledged his loyalty to isis. others call this terrorism plain and simple. what do you make of it? >> i think that in my years of investigating both domestic terrorism and international terrorism, what i believe to be true is that the kind of person who would do something like this, the k

what we saw play out in parisis with the bataclan horrific hri incident what we saw play out in belgiumecently was a bit of aa hybrid both.id bh. in europe you've had thousands n of europeans fight alongsidede is in the united states there have been 250 americans who tried tot team up and travel.ra but what you also saw was during ramadan a direct call from isisi leadership saying, hey, this iss your time to plot attacks domestic klee and unfortunatelye that seemed to play out here. >> now, frank, this is aiss question that i'm sure a loftet people are thinking about this,i but how on earth can a federal government investigators, i knoo they to do do this but find some random person who is plottingtt hasn't done anything yet, they e have some stuff in his past buts just sitting around waiting for his opportunity and that all of a sudden -- how can they stop it. it. >> they can't rei ticket then' future. is it realistic to think we can catch all thesc e people beforee they do something bad. b >> firstly we need to recognizeg we do have real threat on our o hands but we also need too reco

just this morning i was in paris at the bataclan theater. 90% of the deaths were carried out by gunfire. just on this channel eight weeks ago i was asked what is our nightmare scenario for the united states. and that would be a single lone gunman or small group of gunmen locking themselves in a theater or locking themselves in a club and carrying out a mass shooting with legally purchased weapons. this, as clint said just a little earlier, this is now the bar that's been set for the united states, 50 dead, which is the largest mass shooting in the united states. and there are going to be other people of an ideological bent who will want to see that bar pushed higher. >> so where do we go from here? what do we do in terms of, first of all, coming to some sort of understanding of what happened here, but more than that, and again, as you rightfully point out, this is the nightmare that everyone who works in these areas in washington that i talk to and when i've gone on these international cases that i've talked to say you simply can't track eve

this is exactly what we saw in the bataclan theater in paris. it's also important for our viewers to understand this is the last ten days of ramadan. it's the holiest period of the holiest month of the year. earlier on, we heard isis spokesman. he came out and he urged anyone who is part of isis, who supports isis, who is inspired by isis, to come out and carry out attacks during this holy month. >> clarissa, stay with us, if you would. we also want to bring in phillip mudd, cnn counterterrorism analyst and former cia counterterrorism official, and michael weiss, senior editor at "the daily beast." michael, let me start with you. why wouldn't isis claim responsibility for this? >> when it claims to turkey, they don't like to do it, and i suspect it's because they want to create ambiguity. because they operate so closely to the turkish border and they rely upon turkey essentially to keep that border as an open sieve so their fighters can go back and forth, they're looking to destabilize the turkish government and turkish society but not draw the

yes, there was guns in paris in the bataclan, but guns are not the issue.nk you and grtion on the new book. >> thank you. >>> a war of words between the candidates. stick around we'll play some of the sound bites after the orlando attack. >> you know, whether you call it radical jihadism or extremism it's the same words. >> should americans be confident about the war on terror? peter johnson jr. is on deck to talk about this and plus in the wake of the orlando attack it is important to remember those protecting our freedom and we are honoring the u.s. army on the 241st birthday. we'll salute them in our plaza just ahead. with booking.com's range of properties, rebel and key can wing it all the way to jordan and chelsea's wedding. rumble! road trip. there she is. uh oh, oh, oh, oh, what? so here is our road trip itinerary. what's this? a bunch of different places... nah, bro. we gotta go off-script. rip to shreds every motel, cabin and teepee, between here and the wedding. now get out of my seat. alright. (screams) road trip! whahhhh hahaha... road trip! >>>

. >> 20 minutes after they first arrived a to the bataclan concert hall, there are two local police whoide. that they needed to go there as quick lly as possible. >> reporter: armed only with handguns, the two police officers enter the venue. >> and when these two police first come in, they engage in a firefight with one of the hostage takers. they manage to kill him. as he falls to the ground and rolls on the floor, he blows himself up with his suicide vest. >> i remember the terrorist blowing himself up, the sound of the explosion, you know? a ringing in your ears. >> you heard the guy explode his belt? >> yeah. yeah yeah. >> reporter: the officers are forced to retreat and wait for help. the attackers move to a more secure position, deep inside the building. >> at that point, the attackers, the two surviving hostage takers, take a dozen or so hostages into a corridor, an l-shaped corridor, as described by eyewitnesss, where they barricade themselves. >> now, paul, we never like to relive the worst circumstances, unless we can learn. when you were side by side with me in paris, so muc

happened at the nightclub, you can't help but draw parallels with what happened in paris at the bataclanall of those victims, they have families. it's just awful to even think about. but why is it important, walid, to fight terrorists away and are you concerned that islamic terrorist groups are coming to the west? >> well, first of all, islamic radical or jihadi group are already present in the west. i mean, if this is really the product of isis or isis affiliated or even al qaeda, even jihadi group, if this is the case, this is indeed the largest jihadi terror attack against the united states since 9/11. this would be significant. because the last one was san bernardino and it was a reflection of what was happening in brussels and other places. this country is under attack. the united states of america is under jihadi attack, if indeed it's proven to be jihadists. >> but will it change the scenario? we spoke to newt gingrich. there seems to be a persistent unwillingness of people in charge of this country to acknowledge the nature of the threat and a tendency to lie about it. why? >> be
