, but i would modify it and say, guns don't kill people, americans kill people.t is what we do. we invade countries. and we syndromes in to kill civilians. we have five wars going on right now where soldiers are killing people -- five that we know of. we're on the short list of countries to of the death penalty. we believe it is ok to kill you when you have committed a crime. then we have all the other forms of violence in this country that we don't recall violence, but they are acts of violence. when you make sure that 50 million people don't have health insurance in your country, and that according to the congressional study done, 44,000 people a year die in america for the simple reason they don't have health insurance, that is a form of murder.

but i think what was going on here, the possibility that he could have killed himself, killed a person who was very close to him, his mother, maybe someplace else and killed everything that his mother believed in was education and nurturing children tells me that, yes, this is about extreme rage and also about severe mental illness to kill the most innocent parts of our society. bad enough the teachers and administrators, but to kill the children, this is a rage that i believe was filled by dilution, psychosis. he's at a age for possibly schizophrenia. went into that state, knew he wasn't going to come out of this alive and that was his major statement about hate towards his parents, towards his mother, but especially towards the world. >> is it premeditated? >> i believe this was premeditated. it was part of his long-standing i believe delusional system where this had been building up for quite some time and why it seemed to have been meticulously planned out. but, again, part of that dilution. a lot of people will say, well, he couldn't be insane if he planned this out. insanity is a

the gunman there killed 32 people, then shot and killed himself.and we remember in 1999 at columbine high school, two students opened firing, killing 12 classmates and a teacher before killing themselves. 26 others were wounded. >> it's been a harrowing scene in newtown, connecticut all day. we're also hearing life saving stories. >> abc fwhus reporter mark glennblatt joins frus sandy hook elementary school with more. >> we have new information. sources now telling us that this rampage all began at the mother -- the gunman's mother's home, he went there, apparently pulled out a gun, shot her in the face, then went over to sandy hook elementary school with a bulletproof vest on, pulling out another gun and began can z.continue that had rampage there, firing at any young child cosee. we're hearing that the gunshots began after some kind of an altercation at theky,g school with the principal at that school this, is really turned out to be an almost unfathomable tragedy for this very, very peaceful town in western connecticut. >> now, we've been hearin

kill people. guns. >> we have a system that is broken as far as how people can get guns it is too easy in the united states. there are loopholes. people say the mentally ill should not get them up but if your adjudicated from the mentally ill you cannot get one. however, the question is that you have to be adjudicated. not only that, you can be mentally ill and make it through the system. the guy who shot gabrielle giffords was and institutionalized. he was in a state and local data base that was not shared with the federal background system. he was able to purchase a gun and killed six people that nearly killed gabrielle giffords. if you go to a gun show there will also not to a back room check. and the supreme court held in 2008 that the second amendment means that an individual has the right to own a gun. with a severe crimp on what the feds can do. if you have a constitutional right to own a gun and what the government can do to restrict that is very, very limited. >> when you limit the ammuni

he killed 18 kids at the school. two children were found there and moved to a local hospital where they died. six other adults before killing himself. we know that when police arrived on scene just after 9:30 this morning, they didn't waste any time. they went inside the school, locating adults and children and moving them out of the school to safety, that is then when they found the victims all located within two rooms of that school. one area of that school. so again, horrific set of circumstances here. we now understand that the father of the shooter is being questioned in new jersey by the f.b.i. there were early reports that he also had been killed. that is not the case. the father of adam lanza is being questioned by federal authorities in new jersey. the shooter's brother ryan lanza also apparently cooperating with authorities being questioned in new jersey. the shooter adam may have been carrying his brother's i.d. which led to early confusion about who the identity was. the shooter adam lanza, dead at the sc

another gunman killed himself at the virginia tech campus and killed 33. and earlier this year, a gunman shot and killed several people at oikos university. that man is now in jail. we have comments from some of the family members of the the oikos shooting. >>> and law enforcement sources say at least three guns were found at the shooting scene. two pistols were found inside the school. one was a glock. a three 234 caliber rifle was at a car parked at that school. that car is said to belong to the gunman's mother. the debate over guns flairs up every time there's a shooting like this. we'll take a look at california's own gun laws. >>> the school shooting once again raises questions about campus security, what can be done to better protect children, students and faculty from another deadly attack. >>> ktvu's alex sadvige has been looking at this with security experts and he tells us what he's learned. >> reporter: this is a day to re-examine your school's plan. in fact, it wasn't long ago when the lock down plan they have here at this district was put to t

and by -- al, by killing those children, he killed an extension of his mother. this is as bad, i think, as we've seen in this country. and we've seen some terrible situations. >> we're told by the rabbi, and, of course, none of this is confirmed, let me be clear, but we're told by the rabbi that hefhe was told that the gunman came in and first killed the principal and the school psychologist execution style. and then proceed ed next door t the first classroom, first grade classroom, and killed the children. we assume having already killed the mother. so there's a direct line here if what we're being told proves to be true from mother to principal to children. this profiler, where would you start putting pieces together to find out what this all means? >> well, number one, you know, you have to begin with the premise that this individual had some significant mental health challenges, issues. was he being treated? we're told the two hand guns wee purr kwhased by his mother. did she actually buy these weapons for him because perhaps at his age, he couldn't buy them

they'll kill each other, and they'll kill bystanders, and it'll go on for years. show me the photos you're talking about. why? we still have a few hours left. if nothing else, we can try and prevent more deaths. what's the point? i've already been over the photos. that chinese gang has been over them. nobody recognizes the killer's face. the face isn't what i'm interested in. what is it exactly we're looking for? i'll tell you when i see it. blow that up. see? nothing. try the next one. there. [ sighs ] try the third one. enlarge it there. what's that? a reflection in the mirror. i think it's the killer's arm. what are those markings? could be a tattoo. most...most gang members have them. can you move in closer? i can sharpen it. flip it. what? what is it? what does it mean? it means no one's ever going to find this killer, no matter how long they look. how do you know that? because i can read chinese. . sanderson, i didn't expect to see you again. what do you want? this tattoo was on the killer's arm. that's impossible. this is chinese. it isn't the mark of the b

his mother and then shot and killed students and this source saying most of those killed were killed in that classroom and she was a kindergarten teacher at the school, wolf. that is again the incomprehensible information we're getting as more and more details of the investigation emerge. >> we're getting this information, john, as well, from our justice producer, terry frieden, let me be precise in what he has learned, senior law enforcement official familiar with the investigation, he tells us, says a brother of the shooter, the alleged shooter, was found dead in the residential location, near searched in hoboken, new jersey, across the river from new york city. in addition, the mother of the alleged shooter was found dead in the elementary school. the father who was divorced from lanza's mother lives elsewhere in connecticut. the official said. the official declined to provide further details. so, john, now we're learning not only was the mother found dead, as you've been reporting inside the small elementary school, the sandy hook elementary school, and many of the children were

they were killed by the cia. they were killed by the military.hey were killed by military special operations. >> the argument, though, from those who have defended the massive expansion, particularly in intelligence and in top secret work, say, you know, you can complain all you want about it, but there hasn't been another 9/11. and so, that proves it was worth it. >> well, there hasn't been another 9/11, and that does prove that certain things work. but that doesn't prove that the whole apparatus works. and it doesn't prove that, well, you can just keep adding more and more security. and there's also a real danger here that it's hard to take it away. and i think that's why it continues to grow, because any politician or anyone who says, well, we need to dial some of this back, suddenly is accused of being soft on terrorism. >> there has not been another attack on the united states. and that's not an accident. >> it's a neutralizing rejoinder to any criticism of post-9/11 counterterrorism measures. or policy of any kind justified as counterterror

and mass killings.an tell you as a medical doctor and psychiatrist who worked closely on cases, there were different motives and mentalities. there people who don't have a conscious. they torture animals. they have no basis in their mind for empathy or sympathy. they learn how to fake it. one of the columbine killers fit that pattern, but the other was different. he was not a psychopath. in the case of the aurora shooter, the jury is not in yet, but i have a feeling we will find he was on the verge of major mental illness about delusions and hallucinations. one time in my life i was responsible for the federal program of mental health services in america. i have to admit we failed. we failed america in protecting the lives of the seriously mentally ill. most of what they do is suffer in silence. their families want to do better by them and as a country we have not stepped up and been sympathetic and caring and appropriate for the seriously mentally ill. >> an extremely important point. what i was going

before killing himself. police found the body of the suspect's mother in his home earlier in the day. a prayer vigil was held in a church and took place a mile away from the sandy hook elementary. hundreds were in attendance. at the white house a vigil was held with people gathering for more gun control. many say it demands tougher legislation. in the white house, a visibly shaken president obama offered these words about the mass killing. >> the majority of those who died today were children. beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. they had their entire lives ahead of them. birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. among the fallen were also teachers. men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams. >> highly emotional president obama reflecting how most of the nation would have been feeling and tonight police have identified the killer as adam lanza. this is his brother ryan lanza being taken into questioning. much more on the shooter ahea
