This, a sixyearold boy, a 13yirroldand a man in , his 20s. Then gunman has b identified as a 19yearold who used an ak47 type riflehich was bought illegally in nevada. Officials are searching for a motive. Dave li is in gilroy, california and starts our coverage. . Whats going on dave as the shots rang out, there was at first confusion. Then panic. Eventually, disbelief. For most of the weekend, this was the scene of a happy, popular food festival, around 18,000 pple in attendance. By sunday evening, it turned into the latest american mass shooting. The 246th in this country in this year alone. Pop, pop, pop. We went behind some tents and took cover. We knew right away when we saw a lot of people running away. We thoufit it was a cracker. When i looked to the side, we knew it wasnt. We turned at the same time and saw him he was within 10 feet of us. He shot one shot. He put the clip in and he started moving back rth, walking toward our tent because that is where most of the people were in that area. And he just started shooting. K dave police said they tss than one minute to shoot dead the man even with that rapid response, the gunman was able to cause carnage with what police described as an ak47like rifle. There would have been more bloodshed i believe. With the number of people in the small area they were in. I think it is very fortunate able to engage him as quickly as they did. Dave st sixyearolhen romero is the first victim to be identified. He had been visiting with his mother and grandmother and were th wounded. Also among the dead, a man in his 20s, and a girl aged 13. Police confirmed the killer to nobe san legan, a 19yearold man who was able to evade security by cutting through the festivals perimeter fence. N was able to avoid californias ws, the most strict in the country, by simply traveling to the neighboring state of nevada to buy e weapon legall dave lee, bb news, in gilroy, california. Laura for more, i spoke with jack thomas, a former officialel at the hd security department. Oe police are looking at the ideological leaninthe suspect. How will they determine his motive . Jack this is important. We see so many of these shootings in the united states. What im interested in is how this 19yearold young man became radicalizedr in some way, to take these kind of actions. That is the most importanter cr right now for y vestigators to search into. We know he apparend postings, he spoke about a book called might is right. Which was written in the 1890s by someone named ragland red beard. No this ion anyones top 10 Summer Reading lists. How does a 19yearold know about those things . That is what im interested in. What areas is he accessing . What website is he visiting . Who is he talking to online that is getting him to possibly tdicalize, White Supremac manner which is what i think we may have. That is where the focus of this investigation is going to go now. Laura we do know that the gun was purchased legally in nevada. California has very strict gun laws. What does that say about how a shooter can exploit our nations gun laws . Jack again, there is another hole we have to find out. How does this young man know that . Many cases, we have poor gun laws. What you see in this situation, an individual who can simply leave the one state with the most draconian gun laws, drive across the border and pick up an Assault Rifle like a7 type of weapon. I think this is another area that probably calls for federal legislation torynd put a dike in these kind of loopholes. We will see other people doing it. We will see copycats. I never knew i could do that, so ulwill drive to another state and buy a gun i not buy in my home state. Got to take care of these problems. Laura the organizers at this festival did have metal detectors, they had a bag checks, they were anticipating trying to stop problems. Could they have done anything more . Jack i think they did what was probably prudent and reasonable under the circumstance what we have here is this individual kind of creepy awled his way into the festival by goin i think he cut across a stream bed and he went along the perimeter and found an area where there was nobody around and he snack i and he snuck in. E if you ha determined attacker, you will find it is difficult to sinp those dividuals as we see in this s se. Laura from cineto schoolsva to fes, are mass shooters always looking for that soft target . Is that our vulnerability as an open society . Ck it is. There are thousands and thousands of examples of soft targets. Sporting events, High School Football games, the list goes on and on. If you want to cause damage and you want to kill people, it doee not take a rscientist to find out a way to do that and find a venue where he or shean start popping off people and taking lives. It is really pretty easy. We have to find a way to hardena ouets. Laura jack thomas, thank you so much for joianng us. Jack you. T laurs weekend, President Trump took aim at democratic congressman elijah cummings, the chairman of the House Oversight committee. His district includes parts of baltimore. Mr. Trump described as a tdisgusting rat and rod infested mess. Residents and officials took offense and it is the most recent attack o a congressman of color. Earlier, i spoke with ron christie, a former advisor tobu george w. Thanks for being with us. Once again, the president is going after a member of congress who is not white. What is your reaction . Ron i dont think this is good politics. If you look at what the president has done, elijah cummings, a congressman from baltimore insulted the president by saying your border strategy is not a sound one. Id what is the prt immediately do . The attac individual personally. Sp then he has aging things about his district in west baltimore which many people in the u. S. Consider to be raurst. Laa Michael Steele, the Lieutenant Governor of maryland and republican says the president has a particular venom for blacks and people or. Is it deliberate . Ron Michael Steele is a good friend of mine and we have discussed this many times over the past two years. He believes thiss deliberate. Dont know what is in the president s heart. I could never presume to know what is what is in his hearts. His heart. Certainly for me, the optics of this look bad. Rst he started off by insulting congressman john lewis, a civil rights icon. Then we talk about the infamous sq color. R black women of and now mr. Cummings. You start to say, is this a pattern . Is there something more deliberate or is this coincidental . I do not believe in politics that anything is coincidental. Laura the president is trying to expand his base. What is the Political Risk rticularly in terms of independent voters . Ron i think the risk is a strong one. Who wins elections in america . It is the independent voters. Those folks from key swing states. The people who say who voted for president obama who decided to vote for mr. Trump are saying after eight years of the firstpr blacident, is this what we need in America Today . Laura as you keep pointing out, republ president on a daily basis against the accusation that he is a racist. You have said this is not good for americ nt there something here that is above politics . Ron there should be. This is not good. Politics is about addition, not subtraction. When you are saying divisive things, that is pulling ople apart, not bringing them together. You are supposed to unite the country as president of the united states. I had the honor of working for r ident for four years and we spent every day trying to figure out what can we do, not because it is the republican or democrat thing to do, that is best for america . These tweets and twitter storm is not good for america. Laura democratic president iat cand will debate tomorrow night. Does this put identity politics at the heart of their debate . Ron it does. This is the real fallout about what the president has done with his twitter storm. We should be talking about infrastructure, health care, how to make sure we can provide fo Social Security and what are we talking about . We are talking about racial politics, race, and distractive district destructive tweets that are not bringing this country togethe the 20 democrats on the stage and detroit will be talking about donald trump on what he has said rather than what they will do. Laura ron christie, thanks for being with us. Ron pleasure. Laura of course, we will have ll coverage of tomorrow nights democratic debate there in detroit.

Tell us, what is the appeal of esports . Hats right, i went out to authorize stadium, a giant tennis stadium where tens of thousands of people are watching 100 guys, and they were all guys in this competition, plani fo which is a Battle Royale videogame. It is such a bizarre thing to u are watching it on the giant screen anyway because it is just a bunch of i guchairs in front of computer models you cant see.

Dan it is so fastpaced that you have tkeep up on what is happening because these guys are not just running around. They are building things. It is like a constructionto simuand fighting, shooting game. That said, people have always liayd watching other people video games. That goes back as far as the old arcades where everyone would gather around someoneser shouand watch them play. There was that documentary, king of kong, about that. And then these twitch streamers, those are the guys that make the real money even more so than the competitive guys andare entertainers at the same time. Us bethey are giving you a running commentary while they are playing. Ithatthe real catch there. Laura it is a very young audience isnt it . How does it break into the middleage mainstream .
