sort of the massive shooting incidents, there's two major ones: yesterday and the 2009 shooting at fort hood. in both cases they were perpetrated by people who had access to be there in the first place. so i think focus will likely be whether there were red flags that were ignored. whether there were people who ux you know, knew about the behavioral issues that these two individuals had who could have flagged them somehow. where there were mental health providers who were in a position to know that these people were unstable and showing signs of distress and once that information is shared with the proper authorities could these incidents have been stopped earlier. fill fail somewhat predictable debate erupted in washington today about how he may have gotten his weapon. what do we know about how he did? >> we know he purchased a handgun at a gun store in virginia on sunday. it appears to have been a pretty straightforward transaction. they did a check on him. they run his name through law enforcement databases. there was no red flag. there was no indication that he's a convicted felon which
