i'm not going to ask what those are because he is mike brooks. but you were impressed with the response time here. >> i was very impressed. the call went out right around 11:15 to 911. you heard the chief yesterday from howard county say there were some officers who were there, first right within minutes. then s.w.a.t. officers who were working on another assignment happened to be there also. the coordinated response in the baltimore/washington metropolitan area is amazing. i was a cop for 26 years. the response here, within a short amount of time you had heard county, maryland state police. right after that you had baltimore county police, prince georges, montgomery county, u.s. marshals, atf and fbi. i was listening to the audio while they were clearing it and it was an extremely coordinated response, going from store to store. each team was able to say exactly where the other team was. as a former s.w.a.t. operator i can tell you, it was done the right way. and also the ems response. i was listening that units were clearing from the hospital,

but let's bring in our hln law enforcement analyst, mike brooks. >> we have mike brooks here.s this morning. help us understand this. we talked about not just the weaponry, not the shut shotgun but the explosives. >> the crude explosives were made out of fireworks. what this guy was going to do, if he would use them as a diversion. what was going on in his mind that brought him to the mall which seemed like a targeted shooting. he didn't use them but we've seen crude explosives used in other shootings that we've seen over the last number of years. this week, it was crazy. it was just nuts because it seems like we're having one almostsingle day. we had the university of oklahoma and then, you know, purdue right before that. what was going on. it was crazy. >> there seems to be, i don't even, i hate to call it a trend, but maybe these people feel emboldened to go out and do things publicly because this thing at the mall does still seem to be targeted at these two people, but why are we seeing so many things happen in public places? has something changed in people's heads that th

mike brooks is on the phone with us now. once worked in the metropolitan police in that area. what are your sources telling you about what this means? >> there's not too many details right now. the mall apparently is on complete lockdown right now. employees are sheltering in place in their stores as they have probably practiced in the past. and the howard county police and fire, they are both on the scene. howard county police all so on their twitter account, en route. they don't have many facts right now. they're telling me there's a possibility of numerous people shot. trying to confirm that right now. still, a very, very tense situation. it's about 45 minutes north of d.c. and just outside baltimore, maryland. as you know from living in that area, a very popular mall in that area. everything is on lockdown. don't know how many active shooters there are. we don't know yet. >> straight up the columbia pike as you put it. when we would go to that mall, it was one that you would go on the weekends to ice skate. i don't know

i want to bring in our security analyst, mike brooks, on the phone with us. if somebody is in custody, i assume that they don't know whether or not there is one or more alleged shooters involved. that this right now would be an important time for them to alert the students, and tell them what they should be doing at this time. how are they doing that? >> exactly. most universities now, suzanne, have a system in place for emergency notification. and usually they will get -- the students will get that via text, via e-mail and sometimes even a telephone call. but just the fact that they say they are to shelter in place. that's because they want to make sure that if this -- there is just one shooter that we think they have in custody right now, one person in custody, they want to make sure that shooter was by themselves. and one of the things that i know they do have on campus is surveillance cameras. so they'll go and take a look exactly the movements of this person before and after the shooting took place to see whether or not this person is by themselves or no

joining me now hln law enforcement analyst mike brooks along with william polak, an associate kline calling professor of psychology at harvard medical school. thank you guys for joining us. mike, i want to devote my first question to you. >> sure. >> in this case, like in new town, the shooter was living with his mother, but aguilar's mother said she saw no signs of any of this. how can someone in such close proximity not see anything unusual? >> well, i have a hard time believing it also, but many times, don, people who are closest to let's say the shooter, they might not recognize any signs, and, you know, what was the family dynamic going on at the time with her and her son? and, you know, he said he bought the gun for home defense. had he discussed that with her? did she not find it unusual that he had so much ammunition because apparently during the search warrant they went to the house and found a large amount of ammunition? did she not find that unusual, and i would like to know if he was exhibiting any signs, ever had any history of any mental illness, because apparently he had no p

cnn's law enforcement analyst, mike brooks, is joining us on the phone right now. let's hope this incident is over with, mike, and we're waiting for more information from authorities there. but it's obviously very disturbing. >> it is, wolf. and i was looking on purdue university's website, and they give the same information as you did. that there was a shooting in the electrical engineering building, that they have cleared the building. and continuing to search the area. but, again, they're telling people to remain sheltered in place. and i think this is a smart thing, wolf, until they find out whether this gunman was acting alone or there was someone else. i think it's out of an abundance of caution. but from what i'm looking at and reading, it sounds like they do have this person in custody. but again, we don't know if there have been any injuries at all. >> and we're showing our viewers some live pictures, courtesy of our affiliate, wthr there in west lafayette, indiana. normally, before they would give the all-clear, they would want to make sure that if they ha

mike brooks is back on the phone with me now.e heard from the police chief talking about the cooperative effort involving state, local -- local, law enforcement and even federal agencies there. it appears as though howard county police is taking the lead on this investigation. again, though, mike there are still people, shoppers, employees that are in that mall because it's going to take some time to secure the area. what did you hear from that press conference that you thought was particularly compelling? >> from the very time they got the 911 call to the time the officers were there on the scene, patrol officers, and then some of the more highly-trained swat members who happened to be in the area working on another assignment right now, i can tell you i'm listening to what's going on there at the scene. they've got 90% of the stores cleared. he talked about the cooperation with local, state and federal. they've got tactical from montgomery county, u.s. marshall service, alcohol tobacco firearms and explosives that are part of t

sergeant lefco passed on all the information to detective mike brooks who took belinda down to the sheriff'sice. >> if apparently he had shot himself, why did you take belinda down to the station? >> in any injury, it could be grandma who died in her bed. you're going to talk to the people that were there to find out what happened. >> i'm trying to figure out what happened. >> you and me both. i don't know. >> why would lee have killed himself, asked detective brooks? >> we've had financial trouble. we always seem to make it through. you know, it's like -- i just -- i -- i just don't get it. i don't get it. we don't own a gun. >> narrator: so to the beginning. the detective wanted details. everything that happened that evening after rob came in from california. >> we went to dinner about 7:00. >> you came back to the house and you talked for a little bit and the girls went to sleep? >> uh-huh. >> whiat time -- about what tim did the girls go to sleep? >> about 10:30. >> around that time, lee got an e-mail. he went to call his business partner while belinda stayed in the kitchen with rob. >>

mike brooks, first to you. no ongoing threats. sigh of relief for a lot of people there in west lafayette, indiana. but still, this electrical engineering building still considered a crime scene. >> absolutely. they lifted the shelter in place for the rest of the school, but i think that was out of an abundance of caution. it said a reporting of a shooting. they didn't say anything about anyone being shot. so we don't know if there was any injuries or not, but they do have one person in custody. i think that was the smart thing to do, until they got a good handle. take a look at video surveillance, find out exactly what the movement of this person was. it sounds like everyone was there in that electrical engineering building. but, you know, notifying 30,000 undergrads at that campus, the notification system they had via twitter or e-mail. extremely efficient. and, you know, every campus has something like this now because of these active shooter situations. >> jean casarez, what more do you know? >> purdue had been saying that the

joining me now, mike brooks, and the author of more guns, less crime.to you, first, how unusual is it for a police chief, especially in a city like detroit to be pushing for more guns on the streets. not less. >> chiefs usually steer clear talking about guns at all. assault weapon, handguns, they usually don't. here's a chief who had 28 years with the lament and then he was in portland, maine, before he came to where he is now in detroit. and so he has seen a lot of it. it is impossible. next to impossible to get a carry permit in l.a. in california. i tell you, i got mine for georgia. i was a cop for 26 years. and do you know something? if i was a thug and i'm going on break into someone's house and i thought, there is a guy on the other side of that door have a gun? that may blow me out of my sneakers? do i want to kick in that door? >> before we get john here, let's talk about detroit's violent crime per capita. it is among the highest. 700,000 residents and 333 homicides. new york city has 8.4 million people with 333 homicides. would more guns add t

. >> mike brooks, thank you for your insight. we appreciate it. talk about a deal with the devil. legal documents are suggesting that the united states drug enforcement attachment cut a deal with one of mexico's most notorious drug cartels and get this. the deal allegedly let that cartel smuggle billions of dollars worth of drugs into this country while the drug agents looked the other way. they say there was a very good reason. find out what it was next.

want to bring in our security analyst, mike brooks. we have very little information right now.t we do know is that officials are advising students and faculty to shelter in place and to avoid specifically gould hall, an academic building on the campus. and a major bruce chan with the campus police says they've got those reports that the shots were fired in that area of the campus. so from what we know, how contained is this scenario, is this situation? >> you know, we really don't know too much right now, suzanne. almost like yesterday when that purdue university, where we heard there were shots fired, singled down to the electrical engineering building. here wear hearing gould hall. have not heard any reports of anyone injured. but that same as yesterday, we didn't hear any initial reports and then we heard that one person was killed at purdue university. so, again, they are urging people to shelter in place, stay away from windows and lock your doors. so basically, the same thing we were hearing yesterday. as the initial reports start coming out of norman, oklahoma, at the un

took that information to hln analyst a former police officer and member of the fbi response team mike brookst or maybe the following day while things are still fresh in your mine. >> reporter: however the documents reveal most interviews occurred months later. here's the breakdown. investigators interviewed 33 people in the month of january, just for you in february, one in march and 72 of the 111 interviews were conducted in april. one more in may. >> months later, you know, you start to leave out possibly some crucial pieces of information, you know, because your mind, sometimes you can recall things that you might not have recalled that particular day but to a couple of days, maybe even a week after it happened. i say week on the outside. but not months, victor. not months. >> reporter: remember kendrick's body was found january 11th. the first emergency medical technicians called to the scene initially for a reported cardiac arrest were interviewed april 17th. the paramedic who noticed bruising to kendrick's jaw and considered the gym to be a crime scene was interviewed april 18th. the j

. >> with that, i think they are going to mike up lea of brookings who is going to talk to the out-goinghat. let's take a listen. >> thanking the chairman for coming on behalf of brookings, for coming and having this conversation. >> it's a great privilege. >> so the way you handled the financial crisis in 2008 will clearly go down as one of your signature achievements. so let me start with that. you've said somewhere that the playbook that you relied on was essentially given by a british economist in the 1860s, walter badger. and his victim was that in a financial crisis the central bank should lend unlimited amounts to sov velvent institut against good collateral at a penalty rate. how useful in practice was that rule in guiding you? >> it was excellent advice. this was the advice that's been used by the central banks going back to at least the 1700s. when you have a market or a financial system that is short of liquidity and there's a lack of confidence, a panic, then the central bank is the lender of last resort. it's the institution that can provide the cash, liquidity, to calm the

brooks jump over the top. he draws a penalty, but it's only a half yard penalty. some pushing, some shoving. no flags thrown, and here's where the ball game really turned. next play, mikeone foot line. they had four plays from the 1-yard line in the game, and only a field goal to show for it. kaepernick leads an 80-yard drive on their ensuing possession just before the half. michael crabtree providing that great high with the snare. ten seconds to go in the half. kaepernick to davis to the end zone, but he's ruled out of bounds on the field. harbaugh comes out. yes, indeed, his left foot does drag. he's in. touchdown davis. he ties a post season record, most touchdowns by a tight end with seven. that ties dave casper. down to the 2-yard line, bolden was huge today. 136 catches on the day. kaepernick, watch this as he does the little superman celebration mocking cam newton on, and kisses his bicep. cap called it a shout out. 20-10, niners defense took it from there. back to back sacks took the panthers out of field goal range. and niners had five sacks and frank gore on 3rd and one, he gets a lot more than one. 39 yards later, that would set up another niners's field go
