Many people were saved by the quick reactions of teachers and students. Culinary arts teacher ashley ief students. Including senior david hogg. So whats your message . Were in this closet, everyone just hiding together. You would know that this shouldnt be happening anymore and that it doesnt deserve to happen to anyone. And now david hogg and ashley kurth are seeing each other for the first time. Theyre joining us from parkland. David, this is your teacher. This is the first who welcomed you into her classroom. I know this is the first time youve been with her since then. What do you want to say to her . Thank you. Honestly, because of her, heroic actions, she saved easily like 60 students lives or however many were in that classroom. The sad part is, she shouldnt have had to. This should never have happened. Its just its unbelievable. There are not words to describe the amount of gratitude i feel. Because of her heroic actions in a matter of i would say 30 seconds. Taking in all those students and fitting them in about 100 feet of square space is something that nobody else nobody that isnt a true hero could do. I know i heard you say youre not a hero but clearly you are to a lot of people, a lot of family and friends are certainly thanking you today. I read you said one of the hardest things was you had at least 60 kids in your room and you had to shut the door and tell people to keep running. Take us to exactly what was going on and how difficult this was for you. Well, i mean, were we just recently gone through training and ive been through a live action Shooter Training at my previous school. And, you know, fight or flight just takes place. I just started grabbing as much kids as i could from that one door and then i ran over to the other side to make sure my other door was secured. I remember i was shaking as i was trying to put my key into the door. My head was sticking out. You could see all the kids pouring out of the freshman building, screaming, terrified. I quickly ran to the other door to ran as many as i could that were running by. I just kept screaming, keep running, dont stop. At that point, you were hearing gunshots go off. It was ricocheting with the sound off the other building. We didnt know whether it was one shooter or two. One of the boys that initially ran into my room was like, theres two shooters. And the kids were just it was very intense. It feels like it was an hour but in reality it was like 30 seconds. I remember standing there with, like, after my one friend tammy came in with her last two kids that were falling behind, it was like a lull in kids going through and i saw another bunch rushing through and i couldnt stand there and hold the door the door and go into my office area and we started assessing with the kids that were there. We got my laptop out and started taking down the names of the students currently in the room and my faculty members that were with me. So we had 65 kids shoved in my storage closet and my office and my laundry area. So it was and all you could hear is just screaming and gunshots all around. David, your reaction was you take out your camera. Why was that your instinct . Absolutely realized this wasnt a drill. I knew if i was going to die with those around me, i wanted the voices of i wanted all our voices to carry on and proceed. Because even if our souls couldnt, our stories could still have an impact and cause some real change in this country. That is certainly something that we all need right now. Youre exactly right. David, you are so poised and so articulate. Ive seen many interviews with you. One of the more touching things i heard came from a reporter at cbs after the last shooting. Steve hartman said we pray, we mourn, we repeat. Because it goes on and on. And you have so passionately called for change this time. What is it that you want . What is your message to the lawmakers . To the lawmakers . I say work together. No matter what policy you support, you guys are politicians. Make some compromises. Get some stuff done. And keep doing it. Actually, keep your promises. Dont just make false promises just so you can get reelected. Actually follow through. And who knows, maybe youll save some childrens lives. Because the amount of death that ive had to deal with, with my sister having three of her best friends die, and numerous other families that have to go home to silent rooms for the rest of their lives with no children. Its absolutely unacceptable. Its deplorable. And something has to change. The policymakers in this country must work together. And i dont care if youre a republican or a democrat, these are childrens lives. Thats the end of the line. If you want to have Mental Health reform, you support that. If you want to have if you want to have universal background checks, you support that. Why not do both . Politicians, compromise and we can get this done. Its just a matter of overcoming our political barriers in order to save childrens lives and in that way our future too. Okay, ashley and david, thank you so much. The suspect, nikolas cruz, made his First Court Appearance yesterday. He faces 17 murder charges. Police say the 19yearold confessed to shooting his former to shooting his former schoolmates, spending only about seven minutes inside the school. Cruz allegedly escaped by blending in with students running for their lives. Investigators say he bought a drink at a Subway Restaurant inside a nearby walmart, then went to mcdonalds. Cruz was arrested without incident 40 minutes later. Thats whats so tough to hear. He could do all that, just calmly go to a walmart and mcdonalds and drink. New evidence there were warning signs about nikolas cruz. They were overlooked or maybe they were ignored. A Law Enforcement source tells cbs news the local Sheriffs Office was told two years ago that an Instagram Post using cruzs name said he was going to shoot his school. The sheriff tells our miami station, thats wfor, he was unaware of that. Jericka duncan is at cruzs home in parkland where the fbi continues to search for clues there. Ju jericka, good morning. Reporter good morning. Cruz moved into this home behind me with a friend back in november after his mother died. Now, he did live at a home nearby. And police briwere reportedly called there 39 times beginning in 2010 because of cruz, for calls ranging from domestic disturbance to abuse. They were signs that people knew he had troubling behavior and they noticed it. My sister had texted me and said it was nikolas cruz and i said, oh, my god, i know him. Reporter sarah lowy says she knew cruz from his job at the dollar tree store. He had this weird disposition about himself. He followed me on instagram and i saw all of the pictures of his guns. He had a picture of his gun up to his face. Reporter lowy says she regrets not doing more. As soon as i heard what happened, immediately my mind was, i should have done something. I could have prevented this. Reporter people who knew cruz say he spoke about his guns and hurting animals. Shelby speno lived two doors down from cruz. I saw him with a gun aiming at their chickens. Reporter President Trump tweeted on thursday neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. Must always report such instances to authorities again and again. I probably never forget that name. Reporter ben bennight, a mississippi bails bondsman, says he contacted the fbi in september when he noticed a comment on one of his youtube videos that troubled him. It said, im going to be a professional School Shooter, posted under the user name nikolas cruz. The fbi visited bennight the next day. Anybody who makes a Public Statement like that, definitely needs to be investigated. Reporter but on thursday, the fbi said the post was a dead end. Because it lacked specific information about the time, location and identity of the person who posted it. No Additional Information was found to positively identify the person who posted this comment. Reporter after the columbine shooting in 1999, the u. S. Secret service and Education Department published a handbook detailing how to prevent school attacks. But in that study, it did not it was not able to actually place a trait or behavior on a student to determine if they were, in fact, planning a School Shooting. But obviously in the case of nikolas cruz, a lot of people believe he had the potential. Yes, now we have social media. Jericka duncan, thank you. President trump is promising to tackle school safety. He used an address to the nation yesterday to talk about the shooting. Today, the president will travel to his maralago resort in florida. That is located just north of parkland but the white house has not given details for him to visit victims and families. Major garrett is at the white house. Reporter a plan is emerging with President Trump and highprofile crimes. Theres rapid calls for new action and restrictive policies. In the aftermath of Mass Shootings, the white house says wait, gather facts. No calls for restricted access to firearms. The president s emphasis on mental ehealth undermined by hi own record. Let us pray for healing and for peace. Reporter in the wake of wednesdays high school massacre, President Trump consoled a nation in grief, calling for prayers for the fallen. No mention of the semiautomatic rifle at the heart of the carnage. For the president , Mental Illness was the culprit. We are committed to working with state and local leaders to help secure our schools and tackle the difficult issue of Mental Health. Reporter mr. Trump consistently invokes Mental Health, not gun control, after Mass Shootings. When 26 were shot dead in a Rural Texas Church last november, this is how the president viewed it. This isnt a guns situation, this is a Mental Health problem. Reporter in february of last year, mr. Trump signed a bill killing an obama era regulation which allowed the Social Security administration to provide information on severely mentally disabled people to the National Background check database. There are a number of different ways we look to protect citizens. Reporter last december on the fifth anniversary of the sandy hook School Shooting that killed 20 children, white house spokesman Sarah Sanders was asked to describe efforts to prevent mass casualty shootings. Theyre looking at Mental Health issues. Thats something the president has raised before. In terms of a specific policy were moving forward with that would have prevented that, im not aware what that would be yet. Reporter along with repealing that obama era regulation, the administration has also endorsed longterm reductions in medicaid allocations. Medicaid is one of the nations largest suppliers of Mental Health services. Major, thank you. This morning, the new yorker reports new details of an alleged affair between President Trump and a former playboy model and how it was allegedly covered up.

Former ami employees told the new yorker the companys ceo routinely purchases, then does not print, negative stories. The practice is known as catch and kill. He is a friend of President Trump. One former editor said we had stories and we bought them knowing full well they were never going to run. He added, we never print add word about trump without his approval.

In a statement to the new yorker, a white house spokesperson says the president denied having an affair with mcdougal, calling it fake news.

More than 1,000 held a candlelight vigil last night. It was such a moving scene. There was a sea of candlelights. The grief was palpable. When you took out your camera, why was that your instinct . After we realized this wasnt a drill i knew if i was going to die with those around me, our stories could still have an impact and cause some real change in this country. That is certainly something that we all need right now. Police were reportedly called because of cruz called for domestic disturbance to abuse, signs that people knew he had troubling behavior. The aftermath of Mass Shootings the white house says wait, gather facts. No calls for restricted access to firearms and the president s emphasis on meant l health undermined by his own [ inaudible ]. Olympians offering condolences to the families of the florida victims. I want to send my thoughts, prayers, wishes to anybody affected by this terrible parkland, massacre. Were thinking about you over here in south korea. Know we are one big team usa. This mornings eye opener at 8 00 is presented by Liberty Mutual insurance. Im gayle king with John Dickerson and norah odonnell. We are one big team usa. Especially during times like this. The first of 17 funerals of victims at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School will be held this morning. More than 1,000 attended a candlelight vigil last night in florida. It was americas Deadliest School shooting since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School five years ago. The 14 students and three faculty members who died on wednesday have now been identified. Alana pettys family said she spent hours volunteering including helping victims of Hurricane Irma. Of friend of martin duque calls him so caring and one of the nicest people. Carmen schentrup was a semifinalist for a National Merit scholarship. The classmate tweeted she was someone we all praised for her intelligence and witnesses say the schools Athletic Director chris hixson died protecting students. With permission from their parents cbs evening news anchor jeff glor spoke with four who survived and what they witnessed and how they will remember a heroic coach in finding strength in each other. We realize there was an active shooter and information started pouring in about kids being shot and one of my best friends was in the building and she wasnt answering. I didnt know if any of them were okay. I saw confusion and panic in the faces of people that i went to school with, played rec sports with and saw every single day of my life for the last four years. Everyone would never think this would happen to a school but things are possible that can harm anyone. How many of you lost friends yesterday . Lost family. Every Single Person in the building that was touched, that shouldnt happen. How many of you knew coach feis . He was different than normal faculty, our friend, truly cared. I dont think i have a negative memory of him and every time i saw him, it was just a feeling of wish i could do more, i wish i had said more, told him how much he meant to us. Coach feis, standing in front of a shooter or a rifle and taking shots. He would do anything for us and that proved it. I just wish that he didnt have to do that to prove it. I lost quite a few friends yesterday, one that i had class with, was very close to me, and knowing that theyre gone, and i i would argue with them, that one person that i had class with, i had arguments with him, and never being able to say im sorry and that i care about him, it kills me inside. Jack, you knew nick since sixth grade . Hes always been around. I used to always hear stories about him throwing rocks through windows, pulling the fire alarm for fun. No one was close to him because it were assumed if this would happen it would be him. Someone having the ability to instill that much terror in the people i love hurts. Nobody should have to go through this. Ever. My moms best friend was waiting, was waiting all night, because she couldnt find her son, and then now hes no longer with us. I think that this could have been prevented. He should have never been able to get a gun. Do you think youll feel safe when you go back . I believe that Stoneman Douglas is still a very safe school. We are a huge family and through this whole ordeal, we will be brave and fight. Were eagles. Were not puppies. Its not going to be easy. If we all see each other again, we might feel more at home. I am so impressed by all of you from the strength youre showing right now. Its not that we have to do this for ourselves, we have to do this for those who cant. Plenty of people who have things to say, to be here for, but they cant bring themselves to do it and we have to be here for them until theyre ready. As painful as it is im glad theyre speaking out. I think it makes a difference when you get to see the people behind this behind this horrible tragedy. The victims ranged from 14 to 49. All so very, very young. Youre going to live with this for the rest of their lives. Thats right. Had such a deep impact on them. To hear them witness to the kinds of people like coach feis what they were like beforehand, the kind of people they were, the kind of lives you lived, that now, those lives even though theyre gone gives strength to the people who are having to carry on. They still have a tough time. You know, it was hard for me to hear the gunshots and were sitting in the comfort of our home. I cant imagine what it was like for them to be there and know every time you hear a gunshot possibly somebody its horrific. The timeline shows the gunman carried out the shooting in florida history in about seven minutes. Suspect nikolas cruz made his First Court Appearance yesterday by video. One of the victims who will be buried today is 14yearold alyssa alhadeff. Her mother lori had an Emotional Message for President Trump yesterday. The gunman, a crazy person, walks right into the school, knocked on the window of my childs door and starts shooting, shooting her. And killing her President Trump, you say what can you do . You can stop the guns from getting into these childrens hands put metal detectors at every entrance to the schools. What can you do . You can do a lot this is not fair to our families, that our children go to school and have to get killed she played on the local soccer team and her parents were seen crying and hugging players and coaches on the soccer field yesterday. A coach described alyssa as a bright, funny kid and a true leader. I feel for her. I do too. You can feel her pain. Her pain and anger and that anger is a good thing to have too. It is. Norah, people have to see that. Yeah. People have to see it and feel it and understand it. Im thinking maybe its different this time. I say this every time. Maybe it is different this time. Im hoping so. People should not have assault rifles unless youre wearing some kind of uniform and certainly not at 18, 19 years old. I think parents will make sure something gets done. If not, they cant do it in washington they will try to do something in florida. Yep. We should mention the shooting is reigniting the gun debate on capitol hill in the wake of other Mass Shootings bills to mandate background checks prevent stalkers from buying guns and buying bump stocks stalled in congress. Nancy cordes spoked to a number of retiring lawmakers. She joins us. Good morning. Good morning. About two dozen republicans have already announced that theyre not going to be running for reelection and some say that theyve grown frustrated with the gridlock that reigns like tragic events like this one. I sat down with jeff flake iliana rose lleyton and ed royce who says congress does need to do more to combat mass violence. Its tearing the country apart and i think its a real opportunity for the Republican Party to step up and be leaders in this debate. Are we just going to continue this throughout the school year . It is impossible to deal with this kind of grief on a daily basis. Im incredibly frustrated that we havent moved legislation to prevent bump stocks. Why has your leadership not moved bump stock legislation . I thought everyone agreed on that . I think that the thought here is that atf is going to take those actions on their own but from my standpoint as a cosponsor of legislation to move something off the house floor, i think we ought to mandate it. Senator, when you talk about immigration, mass violence, opioids, has Congress Lost its ability to solve big problems . You know, it would be hard to argue that we havent. Weve had a hard time coming together. And it does not appear that that is going to change any time soon. Yesterday, i asked House Speaker paul ryan whether Law Enforcement officials should be able to confiscate weapons from mentally ill people who like this young man expressed an interest in violence. The speaker said as he has after many Mass Shootings it isnt time to jump to conclusions and if there are gaps in the background checks system, those should be addressed at some point. Norah . Good question because the sheriff was asking for just that right the other day from lawmakers. Let me ask you too, nancy, because as it looks like they may not be able to get anything done on this issue what about immigration . Well, it completely fell apart in the senate this week. None of the bipartisan or republican plans were able to get to 60 votes. We turn to the house where the plan thats most likely to get a vote is a republican plan that does provide protections for the socalled dreamers but includes a lot of tough, new immigration reforms that are going to fall flat with senate democrats. So the path forward for these hundreds of thousands of socalled dreamers is really in limbo right now with the daca program set to expire in a few weeks. Were going to get into all of that this weekend on face the nation with democrat chris coons and republican tim scott and see if theres anything that congress can do. Sounds like you have a good lineup. Thank you. You can see more of nancys interview on face the nation this sunday.

A youtube person reported to the fbi when he saw a post that said im going to be a professional School Shooter. Fbi couldnt island phi the person behind the post. Youtube removed it. An instagram spokesamerican said, quote, theres absolutely no place on our platform for people who commit such horrendous acts. We have found and removed the posts. They referred us to their policy center. They can disclose user information to Law Enforcement if they believe doing so could prevent death or physical hafrmt nicholas tomsan is editor in chief from wired. He joins us from san francisco. Good morning, nick. What more could these platforms be doing. They could have a series of policies. You could have a closer relationship. They could make it easier for Law Enforcement to get information. They could hire many more people to monitor these platforms for threats like that that they could send on. But at the same time, they also have to protect user privacy. So there is complicated tradeoffs and they have to protect free speech. The complicated tradeoff, instagram has put itself in one place, google in another. They could it, but its tough. The disturbing comment, i want to be a School Shooter was reported to the fbi. The fbi said they did investigate but they could not identify the origin or genesis of that comment. How difficult sit to source these things out . One of the questions thats interesting is whether they were not able to find it because it could not be found on youtube. One of the things that yub tube does is deletes stuff that can cause harm. That would have made it harder. On the other hand it appears as though nikolas cruz used his real name if, indeed, that was nikolas cruz. The other confounding factor here is there are tons of posts made on social media. The real burden is on the fbi, is this a real threat, can we google other accounts and tie it to this persons name. Whether we dont know is if the system broke down on the fbi end, it broke down on the youtube end because they deleted the comment and werent forth coming with the fbi. Heres the question we have. How many people are on their instagram accounts like he was posing with a bunch of guns saying he wanted to commit violence. How is that legal . How common is it . Its unfortunately common. Instagram has very strong policies to try to identify a sense of harmful content to take it down, knock people off those platforms. Of all of those social media policies, instagram has the strongest. One of the most interesting question is whether the social media policies should work harder to ail go rhythmically identify it and then not delete it but shift behavior. One of the things is when they have somebody searching for jihadist content, they have the ability. Could you do the same thing for people who show attributes for possible shooters . I dont know, but its an interesting question. All right. Nick thompson, we have to leave it there. Thanks for joining us.

He competed three runs down phoenix snow Park Mountain in south korea. The slopestyle is set up like an Obstacle Course and the rider creates his path through rails or jumps.
