this is the case even with local law-enforcement believes the person is dangerous and locals want to cooperate with the federal authorities because they know this person is a threat but local politicians override police to decide it is a sanctuary city such is the case with san francisco so they were required by local laws to release this man onto the streets one of those ironies is that federal officials had called the san francisco police about robbery, car theft, violating a trademark or counterfeiting or any number of federal crimes than they would have been happy to cooperate. but because it was committed by an illegal immigrant their hands are tied. they were forced to release cates killer. it is just unbelievable to me that we have communities across the country that wish to provide a special privilege and protection for even dangerous criminals because they are here illegally. it is him believable. but that is the case and sadly they are not alone not the only a family that has been affected this way because san francisco is not the only sanctuary city. they are out there. th

state and local governments obviously. noaa from the cook county office will take him his great line is it the russians invade we will not call out the illinois national guard to fight them off. we're going to be calling nato and everybody else. so if the local election official are going to be administering elections and we want to keep it that way, , we don't want to have dhs administer elections, but will not have local election officials start securing our country from existential threats, then how do you guys actually make this thing work? i'll go to you first, rick. how do you actually, without imposing undue restrictions, how do you actually secure our election? >> it's a complex issue. there's no doubt about it. it's a complex issue for one reason, because the election infrastructure is so distributed. there are so many coordination points even in just one state, let alone getting down to the county and local level. it's a very complex from that perspective. this is why the designation of election infrastructure as

law enforcement agency to advance a topic to address a local crime or public safety issue. one example was an award we made to the texas department of safety. they had worked with the fbi's behavioral analysis unit to develop training on the interdiction of trafficked children. we wanted to -- very popular and successful training there within the state of texas. we saw an opportunity to replicate what was a local solution and provided seed money to fund the texas department of public safety to go out on the road and do ten -- train the trainers sessions in jurisdictions across the country. one way we're able to invest a little bit of seed money to incubate innovative ideas and to support its replication is through community policing development. i would encourage everyone to look at that solicitation when it comes out, which will hopefully be in the spring. the other programs i want to mention is to double back to our hiring program. the eligibility for that is for local law enforcement agencies, however, critical component of that application is the development of key and

broadcasting is localized. local broadcast stations can deliver market specific information as well as national alerts. broadcasting has no bottlenecks. an emergency alert can reach millions of people simultaneously without concern over network congestion. broadcasting is redundant. there are numerous independently operated stations in each market that deliver alerts. and broadcasting is resilient. stations often operate with backup equipment, generators, and fuel supplies to stay on the air. broadcaster information is actionable. radio and television can provide enough information to enable people to understand what is happening, and what steps they should take. finally, broadcasters are trusted. they are members of the local community and speak not just as an authority, but as a neighbor. but broadcasters do more than just deliver messages to the public. broadcasters are also the backbone of the emergency alert system. working with the government since the 1950s, broadcasters have operated and evolved a natio

of the local workforce. and if more developers would follow this model, we'd have a better society and more growth for our local community. >> thank you. >> yeah, yeah. >> ray horn. >> wait, you want to -- >> oh. >> oh. >> okay. >> i'm hector colina, and i also teach a class that clark -- attended a strategic class that clark offered, and it's opened up a lot of business for us. like nick said, we also had a lot of advice with every teacher that -- that -- that we went through -- through different questions, they've given us great advice, and so i'm very supported of them, and we look forward to having more work with them. thank you. >> thank you. >> ray horn? and could the following speakers come up in this order: linda richardson, marcus hart, michael spencer. >> hello, madam chair, hello, ladies and gentlemen of the commission. my name is ray horn of r and i glass works. i've been a union member of the glazers local union about 16, 17 years, and i decided to start a company, and so i started out at the co

state and local governments. noah's great line is, if the russians invade, we will not notify the illinois national guard. we will be calling nato and everyone else. if local election officials are going to be administering elections, we want to keep it we are going to have local election official start securing our country from existential threats. how do you guys make this thing work? i will go to you first, rick. imposingu, without undue restrictions, how do you secure our elections? >> it is a complex issue. no doubt about it. the election infrastructure is so distributed. there are some any points, even in just one state, let alone getting down to the county level. it is very complex from that perspective. that is why the designation of the election infrastructure as a critical infrastructure allows us certain authorities that the department of homeland security has to provide local officials .ith certain tools and services it allows that to happen. it allows us to share vulnerable information with them. tha

affected officials -- local elected officials. they developed a plan for partnership as well as laid the groundwork for developing the election and for such are sector specific plan. bhs is also working with the commission to foster the sectorment of coordinating council which will include representatives from the voting machine vendor community. relatedsector security to an embedded system security, as well as other relevant private sector partners. i dhs we recognize that the united states, elections are run officials anded have taken a number of steps to secure their election of a sector and replace those. the fundamental line for citizens to be hurt by having their vote accurately counted as at the core of american values, ensuring that electoral system process is secure is a vital national interest. we have confidence in the overall security of the electoral system and 40 f researcher as diverse, it is subject to local control and has many checks and balances. threat environment evolves, we will continue to work with state an

more state, local, and private, less federal. why if the impetus will be mostly on state and local governments to do this, why aren't they doing it now? guest: they are doing it now. i think the majority of infrastructure spending in this country is at the state and local level. just surface travel and water, 75%. a little more is state and local and that is under the status quo . this would increase that slightly, but fundamentally it is not a major shift in how we deliver infrastructure in this country right now. the state and local are still the most important. they own this infrastructure. as kevin said, if you take this in the context of the budget it means one thing. if you assume that this program goes on top of additional spending, which some of what was telegraphed in from the administration leading up to the announcement suggests they do not think congress will enact any of the cuts they are suggesting. you can view this in two very different ways. host: how realistic is it, given the current state of congress, that an

seven people have been killed or at least fourteen total victims of the attack that's coming from local officials let's get straight into this with our t. similar account who's been following developments from the u.s. samir what do we know here. well the shooting incident is still currently under way at a high school about fifty kilometers north of miami florida ambulances police cars and even armored vehicles are still at the scene now the broward sheriff's office has confirmed at least fourteen victims who are being transported to nearby hospitals however it's still not clear how many of those victims were killed and how many of those victims were injured now the sheriff's office office has also confirmed that the suspected shooter is now a detained in police custody but the scene is still active now one student posted photos from his classroom where he and his fellow students were hiding behind desks florida governor rick scott said that he's in touch with local of regarding the incident and president trump has already offered his prayers and condolences of via twitter but according

state and local leaders are at the front lines. in about 10 days the national governors association is meeting and there will be governors from state all across the country and states attorneys general and a great place to make this -- put this issue at the forefront. this is a tragic raft of school shootings. the president wants to fix this problem and create best practices across the kun traoe. >> sandra: does he believe more can be done at the local level than the federal? >> more can be done we believe at the local level because fundamentally this is an issue about school safety. making sure that communities are safe and making sure that troubled individuals before they are able to get a weapon and engage in these types of actions, that local folks can begin to raise the alarm bells. >> sandra: the president knows all the details here and as we learn them and as we look at the fact that a 19-year-old kid was able to obtain an ar-15 and carry out this horrific attack, does the presidency any -- any changes, any need for changes

something that grew out of practice at the state and local level. we don't prescribe the way it should be implemented through our grants and resources. it's most effective when tailored to best meet the needs of states and localities and the communities they serve. so in that manner, we've tailored our grants and resources and programs to reflect the importance not only of providing the resources but doing so in a way that best meets the unique local needs that exist among our grantees. we work to support state and local law enforcement predominantly in four different ways and i'll talk about this more throughout the panel. the first is, of course, through our grant programs and we also have a pretty significant technical assistance portfolio which i'll discuss in a bit. we provide training opportunities through more traditional kinds of training courses that we offer. either directly to law enforcement agencies or on a more regional approach. we also offer increasing number of courses online that in particular, can be supportive of agencies that do

-- destructive to the local community. we are struggling to help find the answer. important and if we lose it we are going to lose quite a bit. >> they are small examples but they possibly point to the future. the foundation newspaper supported on a nonprofit basis. it has been a nexus to for quite some time, it creates a lot of in las vegasn you nevada i was an employee for the review journal. it has built itself entirely on donations, nonprofit donations from the community and from the businesses within that community. offices, it has no printing press, it has no delivery truck's. and it is beginning to work. that is one possible model of filling in this gap at the local news level. startedne who's career -- all of which had two newspapers competing of which when i was there. what i think about that anyone affected by this has to comprehend, it has a public value. it is the public value -- if the , then thoses it esteemed citizens have to figure out a way to support it. and there are small examples of that beginning to e

in reality they need to make local decisions and local priorities. at changes on business rates, which is about a third — 40% of local authority income. the money to use that for the investment in local services. this is something that those of us involved in government have been pressing for for many years and finally the government is making that happen. are you quite relaxed about the potential impact in support for conservatives in the conservative authorities with council tax rises? they clearly have to make decisions on the level of council tax. my personal view is local authorities should bear down very hard on council tax increases, so they do the minimum increase possible and not go to the maximum level they are allowed under the capping process. that, to me, is the way that they should use it as councils. thank you very much, the conservative mp who was former deputy of brent council. the latest performance figures for hospital accident and emergency departments in england show a slight improvement in waiting times in january compared with

>> it looks like the local stations got there right away. from what we can see in the video you couldn't make anything out, whether there was anything on the ground next to him. really all you could see is him handcuffed already and what appeared to be some sort of leg injury. he was limping and that's when they called the ambulance for him. you couldn't really make out what was next to him. >> that's the video when he was arrested and pushed into that car. i guess one of the key questions is going to be the weapon, how did this individual get the weapon, what kind of weapon was it, was it a legally purchased weapon. they're going to be able to figure that out fairly quickly, right? >> sure, but that wouldn't be the first question i'd ask. let me put that into a broader spectrum, that is who got the weapon, for example, was it licensed to somebody else. let me add some other bits of information, i want his name, cell phone number, his e-mail. let's say he walks in, for example, and says i did this alone. you find out that the weapon is regis

if you hire some local journalists, and a lot of local journalists got laid off. if you hire them for an election to check this out. is there something not right and we should be taking it down? it is almost worth making a priority of the election, certainly in the u.s., the idea that russia interfered with the election is a profound issue. with all the other stuff and chatter that goes on, to keep coming back to the idea that everyone is concerned that may have happened. that is where i would start trying to get my arms around this. up the rations. -- two quick observations. actors have long had motive to see if they could disturb or influence the american process. the means is different. i havens, and i believe a lot of conversations at the white house. we've started having this conversation. we have given them the means by which to fulfill their motives. by being so archly partisan against one another, we have created in our dialogue in this opportunitych wider for fake news are propaganda or something's -- some things that divide us more. our own discourse has

level because state and local officials know best. the infrastructure needs of their communities. many of you know that the principals are behind us. so i wanted to reiterate some of the principles. the principles behind this proposal are one, to use federal dollars as seed money to encourage infrastructure investment by the state, localities and the private sector. two, provide for the infrastructure needs of rural communities. three, streamline project delivery. and four, invest in transformative projects that benefit everyone. we are applying these principles to the department of transportation's major existing infrastructure grant program, including, for example, the grants. these two gentlemen to my right are here because their offices will be among those at the department of transportation that will be taking the applications and also administering these grants. this quarter, as mentioned, the president has generously decided to donate his annual salary to the depth grant programs. this directly reflects the president's proposal

she was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.of the woman is unknown at this time. no arrests have been made. (j.r.) another large sideshow in oakland early this morning. police cited numerous drivers and towed a number of vehicles. you can see some of the vehicles that were taken away in this video. police reported the sideshow around 2 o'clock this morning ... in the area of high street and foothill boulevard near fremont high school. according to police, spectators broke windows of businesses and threw bottles at officers. last weekend there were two major sideshows in the east bay. this is surveillance video from the chp chopper that was monitoring one of those two in oakland. someone there pointed a green laser pointer at the chp helicopter. one person was arrested in that case. in richmond there was a sideshow last sunday as well. an officer was hit and suffered a head and shoulder injury. two people were eventually arrested in that case. (justine) police arrested a suspect accused of breaking into cars at the rockridge bar

we are working with the banks and local law enforcement to knock that down. casesnd example is some involve multiple of the elements i described earlier. i talked about malware, ransomware, network intrusion. a famous cyber criminal was convicted in seattle for his role in a hacking scheme that millions in losses. he received a 27-year sentence. his convict within atlanta and las vegas. we located him and on his laptop he had more than 1.7 million stolen credit cards. there are places you can go to obtain these stolen credit card numbers. you can't as an average citizen by the point is, there is a lot of information out there that is stolen in available to criminals if they know where to get it and want to pay money for it. in this case, 1.7 mine carts and he is spending a long time in prison. cards and he is spending a lot of time in prison as a result. trends are related to major data breaches showing there is increasing sophistication and to increasing financial impact. we see more countries participating. ago, we did not think of her veranda or north kore

government and local officials. he is quoted as saying "those best fitted by their intelligence, business experience, capacity and moral character usually do not hold local office." [laughter] and that the conduct of municipal affairs was generally unwise and extravagant. these strong beliefs were adopted by the virginia supreme court before the turn of the 19th century, and the dylan role is still in effect in virginia. what is it? ofis also known as the rule statutory construction and is used to interpret when there is a question of whether or not a local government has certain power. it construes the grants of power to localities very narrowly. the bottom line is, where there is a question about local governments role or authority, the local government does not of the the benefit doubt. one must assume the local government does not have the power in question. in real language, the first part of the rule reads like this, local governments have only three types of powers, one, those granted by express words in the

i'm joined now by nick golding — editor of the local government chronicle.nk you forjoining us this evening. first of all, if we start with northamptonshire, what's gone on there? it must be really desperate times in northamptonshire. the council has been in really dire financial difficulties for a while. the council as you wish troubled and faces huge costs with the rising costs of social care and other costs. but a lot of people in government query northamptonshire took tough decisions simonoff and there is a sense they have been fighting a losing battle for quite some time. we have had enough a lot about austerity over the last year ‘s and it does seem as if local government has been at the forefront of that. you talk about difficult decisions. should northamptonshire have done more or is this being replicated in other places across the country?” speak with lots of council chief executives around the country. there are huge worries in many places about the toll that asperity is having on councils. —— that austerity. it comes down to the likes of rising so

we worked a lot not just with our local governments, but with the local vendors that were out interest to figure out how to transition them, how to get new equipment in place. we're already in the start of a fiscal year so working with vendors to figure out financing options for new equipment. working out all sorts of things related to delivery of the equipment. thankfully we already had paper-based systems that were is certified in the state for use in the state so it was picking from one of those options. unfortunately in virginia the cost to local governments to pick up the tab. governor mccull lov tried a couple years ago to get state funding to transition equipment for everybody in the state and the legislature decided it was a local responsibility and that the local governments would have to pick up the tab for that. but for us, one of confidence in the process being able to tell our voters, hey, regardless of what the outcome is, we're confident in this, this is how voters voted, these are the way that people voted. and if there is a question we have ballots question go back to

local and federal tell me they're very concerned. this issue is such a hot political topic in the bay area, some of the local agencies part of the jttf still didn't want to talk to us and tell us why. didn't want the heat. >> it's a sensitive intersection. >> eye-opening. thanks stephen. >> if you have a tip, call us or visit our website. we investigate. >>> jeff vannier is here. snow? >> rain, hail. active this afternoon. trending to dry weather into friday. also talking about even more changes ahead. get you to storm ranger mobile doppler radar. currently dry. setting up for another cold morning tomorrow. it is wear the layers, get the heavy jacket out morning. but sunny start. sunglasses and jacket. 37 for the average in south bay peninsula. 38 in tri-valley. below freezing in north bay. san francisco 39. east bay, sunny 36. start off chilly. by the afternoon, temperatures will warm up. overall a cool day. long sleeves for the afternoon into the south bay. 55 for san jose. warmest is concord at 59. oakland is cooler 54. sunshine t

they support the local nonprofit scene. we have one of the highest per capita amount of nonprofits in the nation. that is due to the fact that the walton family, walmart, supports that. the philanthropic efforts of that organization and those people have really helped to lay the framework for local business, for nonprofits, and for a supportive handholding hand vibe we all feel here. >> so do fayetteville citizens connect themselves to walmart or the university? >> i think bentonville would connect itself more wholeheartedly with walmart. but we were just at walmart center, right? one of the things here is it feels more like a region that a -- than it does a specific city. all the cities in northwest arkansas have their own vibe, they are just bridges between each city. to the university of arkansas has a big footprint here with the student population and everything that comes with having a university in a town, all the benefits that brings. but walmart also really works to serve northwest arkansas. >> where are we now? >>

city -- whatever rag was being printed in the local city. it has increased the volume we are seeing. it is just part of the challenge of prosecuting these cases. but there is evidence that one can use from those sites, right? and of course, good agents are capturing screenshots as we speak right now investigating their human trafficking cases. changes, anda remember, i did not know much about some of the social apps i talked about earlier, you have to be nimble as a prosecutor to view that as a positive way to get evidence. but it is very much a presence in our society now, and we are going to have a challenge tackling that. and that is probably all i should say about backpage.com. thank you. >> certainly, i think the fact that a lot of advertising can be focused in a particular set of online locations may present an opportunity for deterrence as well if we can attack the waylem in that way, in a that perhaps before the advent of advertising online there was not an excellent opportunity. we are out of time. we appreciate your attention. than

, relevant to address her local issues. those are two of our programs, last fiscal year we funded 13 for a total of 62 sworn officer positions that totaled about $8 million that were devoted directly to drew address human trafficking in the jurisdiction. we are looking for ways we can have expanded impact starting in the spring. the other non- funded resource that i just want to quickly highlight is one that we are very excited about and it's a collaborative reform initiative. we spent a number of months redesigning this initiative so it's much more responsive to the needs of the field. it recognizes the importance of local, ability and control in terms of allowing the agency to really address what their own local needs are using the resources we can provide. it is directly tied to crime and public safety goals and, as importantly as any of those factors, we are using. [inaudible] and we had some of our partners, i don't want to do too much of a preview but we will be partnering with the chief of police, the fraternal order

the noise in a sea horse is a local species. it's listed as endangered by the international union for the conservation of nature the r.u.c. am. this animal is only found in three estuaries in south africa. its limited range makes the seahorse particularly vulnerable to have a total loss due to human activity. through pollution for example. now marine scientists at the nice enough basin project are conducting a new study to learn more about this unique animal. so today the last research done on this species in the past was in two thousand and one two thousand and three and since then no research so this study is the first to really investigate the college of the species the habitat use and all these aspects will be used in on the ground conservation of this endangered species. the beauty of the noise has attracted a growing number of human residents with a negative impact on nature. the area is managed by the south african national park service says. they're not only concerned about pollution in the estuary they also want to help

if local law enforcement is told in highs individual school is troubled, the school security and local police could possibly come up with a plan to talk to cruz, figure out who he is and what he's up to. until certain tripwires are crossed, law enforcement has their hand tied. they can talk to the individual and look at the individual. the fact that cruz purchased a weapon and local law enforcement was monitoring him, that would be a tripwire that was crossed. they stuck what he was saying and that he purchased the gun, moreaw enforcement can be proactive and get more investigative steps. law: how would local enforcement know that he just purchased the gun? would that be the fbi tells them? guest: the fbi is not told -- i take that back. when someone buys a weapon there should be a background check. gun dealer hase to do to make sure the individual does not have a criminal record. that would go through the fbi database on criminal records. that is all. the fbi does not track people who buy weapons. they just provide the background check for a criminal check for gun purchases for the gu

it is really up to the local entities involved. reporter: as a quick follow up the waters and -- the expressway, when it was widened, there was no toll. in rural areas, to help people get where they wanted to go quicker, here in the washington dc area we have an abundance of tolls. while you are espousing that you want to help out rural america isn't that going to impact and hurt rural america? elaine chao: you are mixing up i think, several things. i am so sorry. there is actually going to be a title, as i mentioned for rural america. that is separate from the rest of the titles in this proposal that we are talking about there will be a special section for rural america and as for whether other urban areas want to embark upon tolls are private activity that, or as in recycling, is up to them. we are giving them the flexibility to do so. so, they are getting much greater flexibility now to be able to look at the financing mechanisms and decide for themselves what they want thank you so much. i am sure we will be talking more. >> ca

hsi, stateficers, and local enforcement across the country, the u.s. department of here as well as components at the doj, including the human trafficking prosecution unit, and very importantly, the money laundering and asset recovery section. through good surveillance, a review of records and receipts, and other techniques, our agents hai victimst the t were being trafficked in almost every major city in the country under the watchful eye of a mess this criminal organization. massive criminal organization. and it was a massive criminal organization. the enterprise was responsible for trafficking hundreds of impoverished women from bangkok, thailand to cities throughout -- minneapolis, los angeles, chicago, atlanta, phoenix, las vegas, houston, dallas, austin, seattle minneaps angeles, chicago, atlanta, phoenix, las at and right here at the nation's capital. putting the pieces together required close coordination with international, national and state local partners. trips toe several thailand by federal law enforcement officials including trip to the f

but actually want to participate in local politics. i mean that is very much the starting point. some research is of that said that sri lanka has some of the lowest representation of women in politics i mean that local level in these local council and things like that there were less than two percent of women involved in the process and this is why when the local government laws were changed and amended that is a twenty five percent quarter brought in for women mandatory that they be involved in local politics so even the election commissioner who i spoke to recently said it's not just to look into women's issues but overall in terms of looking at issues of democracy of fairness of justice that women's input the fact that even in sri lanka there's over fifty percent of the population is made up of women so it's a sad sort of void to see that such a few women actually getting involved to represent women so that's why it's important to have these higher representation of women in politics in this country and the best place to start is at grassroots or local government level to see

the bottom line is, where there is a question about local government's role or authority, the local government does not receive the benefit of the government. so one must assume that the local government does not have the power in question. in legal leverage, the first part of the dillon rule reads like this -- local governments have only three types of power. one, those granted by express words and eight -- in the charter, those implied or powers ofto the granted, and three, the central to the declared objects and purposes of the corporation, not simply convenient to my but indispensable. is the part that tightly limits a local governments powers because it , if there is any reasonable doubt whether power exists or not, then that power has not been conferred. words, there is not an information of power. either it is expressly given or you don't have it. put that on the side. then you have to take into consideration baird versus board of education. down,hat decision came people in virginia were quick to recognize that it would have a substantial effect. , in that decision came down was working

today, luigi works in a local supermarket. he plans to stay in caivano to show other young people that there are alternatives to crime and violence. stories like this give bruno strength. one day, he hopes, his neighborhood will be known for more than just the camorra and crime. >> bruno's efforts are admirable. we wish him luck. until only very recently, istanbul was known for its nightlife. but now, locals say, its party days are numbered after hefty taxes on alcohol were imposed by the conservative government. even a beer or a glass of the national drink, raki, have become much more expensive. but thirsty turks are getting creative, as our correspondent in istanbul, julia hahn, reports. >> this kitchen might be the smallest brewery in istanbul. once a month, vuslat Özdemirhan brews up a batch of beer here. he ordered the ingredients -- malt, sugar, yeast -- online. that's where he got the recipe, too. add water, and stir. and after a few weeks of fermentation, the beer is ready to drink. >> i'm mainly doing this to save mon

lee from ocii shared, got a lot of similarities to the local employment side for local hiring. in a lot of ways, the good faith practices starts between the contractors coming onto the project and our compliant team, of whom we have one of our hardest working compliance team members here. it's the communication between the contractor and our compliance team that says we're coming onto an ocii project, and we expect this many workers. let 'have a back and forth process about maximizing the opportunities for local residents to strife to achieve at least a goal of a half local workforce. now i was really surprised when i got on the job and was in the middle of these communications, and i think one of the places -- just to go, for example, we have a great deal of communications between mortensen clark, warriors, stubs, because i think that is starting a little more later in the pipeline. the creativity that we're seeing is even more so elevated, so for example, the challenge you might see on a project that's kind of newer in the pipeline is we get a contractor coming on saying we n

, i'm president of a local company here in atlanta. we are definitely seeing an increase in bot technology. faceless and borderless crimes. dot specific recommendations you have for private enterprises to engage with you organization to help follow these folks and try to prosecute them? randolph: again, the best place to hook in is with our electronic crimes task force. we are seeing more of those botnets that basically roam the internet looking for open devices that they can access. that was a problem, we had a camera hack at one of the municipalities where they lost control of their cameras. that was a botnet. obviously, the ectf will tell you standard information which is to make sure your software is updated, make sure the patches are on your devices. for the more technical parts, i would refer to the ectf, is where i would go. >> the field office of the greater atlanta area. stand so they can see who you are. [laughter] we didn't talk yet about presidential protection. you have perhaps the largest family -- largest offices in new

this sun substantiated what i just told you was as a result of a local interview with local news and unsubstantiated by police or any other source. some of the students saying there was extra confusion this afternoon because this morning in that school in parkland, florida, there was an official fire drill. there were a lot of kids in the afternoon who just didn't respond very quickly who didn't move quickly because they thought it was follow-up from the fire drill. a lot of parents, getting texts from their kids, thought the kids were joking, but quickly realized it was not a joke. one thing i mentioned as well a parent station has been set up. they're doing best to control the situation. the scene is very live even though the shooter is in custody that the scene is very much live. the authorities are helping set up a parent station at nearby marriott. so parents who are either just receiving this. there is a way they for law enforcement. that scene is still considered active scene. 14 victims are being taken right now to medical centers. hopefully we should have an update shortly.
