susan candiotti joining us live from new york. s changing by the second, i understand you have new information with regard to the weapons? >> that's right, more of a description about the types of weapons that were found involved in this case. first, they found a 12-gauges shotgun, now a 12-gauge shotgun has a legal capacity of carrying up to three shells at a time. but of course it could be modified. but normally this is a weapon that would fire one shell at a time. in addition to that, they also have recovered an ak-47 type of assault rifle. now it is these guns are typically capable of being equipped with a magazine that can hold up to 30 rounds at a time. it is not known if this is an automatic or a semiautomatic. it is not known if you hold the trigger down, it could fire off more than one round. in addition, kyra, they also have recovered two handguns, no further description about that. we also want to talk about what they're doing about all these weapons, naturally they want to try to find out where they did come from? were

susan candiotti is live from state college. susan, you spoke with penn state's president and athletic director, how are they reacting? >> well certainly this morning, penn state is knows that it faces what could be a crippling situation for years to come. these ncaa sanctions were not negotiable. and certainly penn state is not saying that it deserved what it got. however, the president tells me, the school will survive. >> we certainly had an unprecedented situation here. we had an unprecedented set of sanctions. penn state is a very resilient university. and i'm always struck by the sense of resolve that people have here. when confronted with a situation like this. >> and of course they do know that they'll need a lot of resolve to try to rebuild its football program. the athletic program as well. because how do you attract players, good players here when they know that there won't be scholarships, there won't be any postseason games and there will be a terrific loss of revenues to this university for years to come. it will be

our susan candiotti broke this story exclusively on friday. susan joins us now. these are seemingly damning implications, susan. what are the implications for joe paterno at this point? >> that's what everyone wants to know of course. until now he said publicly and he testified before a grand jury although he was never interviewed by penn state university about all of this. he said that as soon as mcqueary came to him, that he went straight to his boss and told him what mcqueary had said. now it appears that joe paterno had another conversation about this two weeks after that with the athletic director tim curley, at least according to this alleged e-mail. it suggests or raises the question, what did he say? >> what happened in that conversation? >> that's right. and did he now, therefore, play a role in the decision not to contact child welfare? well now the attorneys for the paterno family say absolutely not. that joe paterno who we can't talk to now obviously he passed away in january, that he never interfered with this investigation and tonight the family is

susan candiotti shows us why it's so lucrative. >> reporter: it's 3:00 a.m. and a man emerges from a professional looking truck behind the red rooster restaurant in damascus, maryland. he wears a seemingly official vest, but instead of unlocking some padlocks he snaps them off. what's he after? believe it or not cooking oil. >> for somebody to just come up and do that sort of thing, i don't know why anybody would ever want to mess with that nasty stuff. >> reporter: this alleged thief messed with them before. the restaurant surveillance camera caught the action. >> the worst thing is they even cut the locks off. i mean, come on. >> reporter: the cooking oil ripoff came right before the rest rooster's monthly pick-up. >> anything we cook on the flat grill goes into a drawer and we dump it in a bucket. same with the chicken fryer. and the barbecue. >> reporter: that goop is used by refiners to make biodiesel fuel for powering cars and trucks. >> they cut us a check for $160 every time we fill it up. >> reporter: great deal for honest businesses. thieves also ar

cnn national correspondent susan candiotti is in new york this morning to tell us more about these drugssusan, good morning. >> hi, randi. they're called synthetic drugs because they're made from chemicals meant to mimic marijuana and cocaine, and they're cheaper, too. some are sold as bath salts, plant food, but they're not what you would feed your plant or put had your bathtub. agents went after them in a big way this week, raiding storage units, homes and head shops in more than 30 states from coast to coast, even hawaii. more than 100 people were arrested. now, it may not take these drugs off the street, but the dea and i.c.e. hope the sweep will get out the word. >> we're sending a clear message to those who profit from the sale of these dangerous substances -- you are nothing more than a drug trafficker and we will bring you to justice. the web of connections between the suppliers and the distributors and the retailers is enormous and it's complex. but at dea, we're experts at connecting the dots. >> now, some of these synthetics are not illegal, but if the ingredients are controll

susan candiotti is on her way to penn state, and we will speak to her by phone.t, let's talk about the removal of the statue of joe paterno. how is this received? >> well, a lightning rod for sure. in the end, the president felt it would be a recurring wound to the multitude of individuals across the nation and beyond who have been victims of child abuse, end quote. the paterno family says that tearing down the statue does not serve the victims and, quote, the only way to help the victims as they put it is to uncover the full truth. a lot of different views of the student body. we don't know what the board of trustees thinks, because despite promises of transparency, they are not talking. university dismantled the statue on a sunday morning this morning well before the sart the of the fall semester and presumably to prevent things from getting ugly. tom? >> as i understand, it is a 900-pound statue to be kept in an undisclosed location, and what do we expect, susan, from the ncaa tomorrow? it is a secret, but everybody wants the results and what do you expect? >>

while we're not entirely sure this man with the fiery red hair is james holmes, cnn's susan candiottiing on the story. she's joining us now. she's got some more details. what are you learning about this picture and other details, susan? there's susan. do you want to start again, susan. we missed the top of you. >> sure. i was just going to say, as investigators are wading through social media and the internet, looking through possible clues, they've become aware of a website that might have a connection. it's called adultfriendfinder, a risque dating website that includes a profile and a photo of a red-haired man, apparently set up by a man who listed his name as james holmes. it appears to have been set up a few weeks ago. now, it is not confirmed whether this is the alleged shooter. it includes the headline, "i'll see you in prison." a law enforcement source says they'd love to get their hands on holmes' computer to establish whether the ip address used to reach the website matches the one holmes may have used. they need more than a picture that may just look like holmes. so as far

susan candiotti is live in philadelphia this morning. susan, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. yes, you're right. former fbi director lewis freeh laid the blame at the feet of four top penn state officials leaving jerry sandusky free rein to abuse children over the course of almost 15 years. >> our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of sandusky's child victims by the most senior leader at penn state. the most powerful men at penn state failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who sandusky victimized. mr. spanier, schultz, curley and pa pat showed no concern for the well being of sandusky's victims until after sandusky's arrest. >> reporter: freeh also talked about a culture of secrecy at the university going back to at least 1998. freeh's report found even back then joe paterno and others knew they had a problem with jerry sandusky and, for example, they even pointed to a note written by then vice president gary schultz after an incident involving two bo

and susan candiotti has been poring through it. what have you found out, susan?eporter: just barely scratching the surface, but i can tell you, the headline, this is blistering. it talks about a cover-up by the top officials at penn state university, and specifically including coach joe paterno, the former vice president gary schultz, athletic director tim curley, and former president graham spanier. i'm going to give you some key bullet points here it. says four of the most powerful men at penn state failed to take any steps for more than a decade to protect children who sandusky victimized. it named spannier, schultz, paterno and curley, says never demonstrated through actions or words for the safety and well-being of sandusky's victims until after mr. sandusky's arrest. it talks about how these officials and others knew about sandusky and allegations against him at the very least going back to 1998. and it says to avoid bad publicity that they concealed critical facts, ignored red flags, and concealed critical information. and there is much more than that, car

susan candiotti is live in state college. susan, these are big penalties. penn state's football program? >> reporter: well, it's going to have a terrible impact. of course as you said, it is expected that they will be able to play football, there won't be a suspension of the program but the penalties are so tough that they might hoped for a death penalty because they would include as you indicated, fines of $30 million, certainly a loss of postseason action, no bowl games for a certain period of time. and a loss of so far unspecified number of scholarships which could hurt in recruiting players for years to come. >> making it easier for players to transfer immediately also. one of things weech been tossing around, it is unprecedented. the reason is because this is for stuff that went on not having to do directly with the football program, not recruiting violations or money being paid. this feels different than anything we've seen in football, doesn't it. >> reporter: yeah, it hasn't happened this way before. according to a source, part has to do with a mess

cnn's susan candiotti is in philadelphia. good morning, susan. >> reporter: carol, the freeh report a brutal assessment of what went wrong and how jerry sandusky was able to rape and molest so many children over the course of at least 15 years. louis freeh finding that four top penn state officials were part of what he called a culture of secrecy built around protecting the image of penn state university and its football program. >> our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of sandusky's child victims by the most senior leaders at penn state, the most powerful men at penn state failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who sandusky victimized. mr. spanier, schultz, paterno, and curley never demonstrated through actions or words any concern for the safety and well-being of sandusky's victims until after sandusky's arrest. >> reporter: freeh's investigators found that joe paterno knew about problems with jerry sandusky going back to 1998. despite his grand jury

earlier i spoke with susan candiotti about the penalties. >> penn state football faces what they're calling unprecedented penalties that are "well beyond what has been done in the past. however, the school will not face the so-called death penalty that would've meant no football this fall. but in some ways, these penalties will be worse than the death penalty, an outcome worse for current players. there are provisions in the plan to minimize the impact on those students. >> let's turn now to international headlines. >>> syrian rebels are fighting for the biggest countries, lepo and damascus. this was today. that's the sound of gunfire. the free syrian army has seized the infantry school north of aleppo. 111 people were killed across syria today. >>> and an afghan policeman turned his gun on civilians. they were civilian contractors working at the center, the gunman was also killed. a police official says the motive for that shooting is unknown. even as we're riveted by what's happening in colorado, we can't forget this. a year ago today a man went on a rampage in norway killing 77 people, m
