Mental health. Jericka duncan, thank you very much. The cbs overnight news will be right back. Growing up, a lot of people judged me because of the way i look. I thought all asians were good at math. You all look the same to me. No, where are you really from . 9 11 was your fault. How do you see out of such small eyes . Go back to your country. I guess i wish that people knew. We are not all the same. We are not all the same. We are not all the same. This is the cbs overnight news. The Broward County sheriff called today for tougher laws to keep guns out of the hands of people with Mental Health issues including forcing them to be examined by Mental Health professionals. President trump did not mention gun laws when he addressed the nation today about the shooting. I want to speak now directly to americas children, especially those who feel lost, alone, confused or even scared. I want you to know that you are never alone and you never will be. You have people who care about you, who love you, and who will do anything at all to protect you. So the question is what is being done to protect those children and others . Chip reid is at the white house tonight with more on this part of the story. Chip . Reporter well, jeff, the president didnt have a lot to say today about what he actually plans to do about School Shootings. One thing he did say he wants to do is work with state and local leaders to help secure our schools and tackle the difficult issue of Mental Health. But just last year the president signed legislation reversing an obamaera regulation that would have made it more difficult for some people with Mental Illness to buy guns. Now, jeff, as you mentioned, the president did not even mention gun control today, and the truth is as long as republicans are in charge of both houses of congress there is little chance of doing anything on that front. The one thing the president did say today that he definitely wants to do in the coming days is to go to parkland, florida and visit with families and local officials. Jeff . Chip, thank you very much. I did sit down today with a group of Stoneman Douglas students who felt compelled they said to talk to us on behalf of the friends they lost. From left to right on your screen now they are sierra, ariana, kelce, and jack. They told us that just minutes before the dismissal bell yesterday the fire alarms went off. There had been a fire drill earlier in the day. They thought this might be another one. They quickly learned it was not. So we went downstairs and theyre screaming code red. Code red. Just keep on going. Go back up. It was a very scary moment, but it was hard to believe that someone, an individual would have this type of power. We didnt know what was happening until our parents, who we didnt tell anything to, started texting us, asking if we were okay, where we are. Then we realized it was an active shooter. You were just 100 i was about 100 feet away from the shooter while he was firing. What did you see . I saw confusion and panic in the faces of people i went to school with, played rec sports with and saw every single day of my life for the last four years. The shooter was very active. He was actually walking down my hallway. He had shot and killed my teacher, and my door was wide open. And i was hiding in an open room that the shooter could have easily walked into and killed me. What is it that you want people to know about your teacher . He was just an amazing person. Mr. Beigel, his name. And he will forever be in my heart and forever be my hero because he basically saved my life. If it wasnt for him, i might not be here today. I didnt get to say goodbye to one of my best friends, and i got to find out this morning that he didnt make it. But i have to think about what im going to wear to his funeral now. I lost quite a few friends yesterday. One that i had class with who was very close to me. And knowing that theyre gone and i i would argue with them, and now that person is gone and i can never say im sorry. There were a lot of people that we lost, and they were wonderful people with great families. Those families do not deserve what happened to them. My moms best friend was waiting, was waiting all night because she couldnt find her son. And then now hes no longer with us. And i think that this could have been prevented. He should have never been able to get a gun. Jack, when shootings like this happen, a lot of adults have a lot of conversations about what they think should happen. What do you think should happen . We shouldnt sensationalize School Shootings because that would downplay the severity of what this means to the Parkland Community and the students and family of douglas. And the best way to go about recovering from this is by providing support, love, and attention to those who need it and then go about addressing a political agenda instead of because within about an hour and a half of hearing that one of my best friends got shot i turned on the news live stream to see that people were using this as an argument against gun control. You heard jack talk about guns and it was yesterday was way too early to Start Talking about it. I dont i dont think that anybody should be using this for their political agenda. But i do also think at the same time this kid should never have been allowed to get his hands on a gun if he was mentally insane. Ever. If theres anything that needs to be said right now, its that when you shut this tv off you have to go home and tell every Single Person you know you love them because you never know when your last time is going to be. I know howimportant that is for you, that message. Were going to go through this as a family. Stoneman douglas is going to go through this as a family. Parklanding will through this as a family. And together as a country were going to go through this as a family. Do you think youll feel safe when you go back . Through this whole ordeal we will be brave and fight. Were eagles. Were not puppies. I dont know that ive ever seen a more remarkable, composed and Inspiring Group of students than the ones we talked to earlier. They are a testament to this community. They are a testament to this school district. And they wanted the they want the nation to know that tonight. Coming up next well hear from the man who gave the fbi a tip about the shooting suspect last year. And later here tonight, another teenager accused of planning a school attack.

Everyone down reporter about six months before Police Identified nikolas cruz as the Douglas High School gunman i dont know how many Nikolas Cruzes are on youtube. Reporter ben bennight saw that name in the comments section of his Youtube Channel along with his post, dated september 24th, im going to be a professional school shooter. Bennight, a mississippi bail bondsman, immediately contacted the fbi, and the next day an agent came to his home. They took a copy of the screenshot, and i guess they initiated an investigation. I dont know. I hope they did. And i didnt hear anything else about it until yesterday when they contacted me to meet again. Reporter Robert Laskey is in charge of the fbi investigation. This afternoon he said the post was a dead end because it lacked specific information about the time, location, and identity of the person who posted it. The fbi also conducted internal database reviews and open source checks. No Additional Information was found to positively identify the person who posted this comment. Reporter but in 2015 and 2016 cruz had posted pictures of himself on instagram with weapons. I could take threats like this by the dozens and send them to quantico every day and say what does this mean . It seldom means much without the background. Reporter ron hosko is a former assistant director of the fbi. They have to use their resources efficiently. And the volume of this is frankly overwhelming. If the fbi they do not have enough swimmers to swim in the mountain of social media threat. Reporter the fbi says that youtube took down the post last year. The instagram images of cruz armed with weapons . Well, that stayed up until after yesterdays shooting. We reached out to instagram and youtube. We still have not heard back. Jeff .

Reporter Joshua Oconnor may have been the next school gunman. But then his grandmother called 911. Im finding journal entries from my grandson. Uhhuh. Hes planning to have a mass shooting at one of the high schools. Reporter Cathi Oconnor called police to her home in everett, washington when she discovered this in her grandsons journal. Im preparing myself for a School Shooting. I cant wait. My aim has gotten much more accurate. Couldnt have been an easy thing for her to do. But boy, it was sure the right thing for her to do. Reporter Court Documents say the 18yearold had a semiautomatic rifle hidden in a guitar case, bombmaking equipment, and detailed plans to shoot people at aces high school, wherehe was a student. I need to get the biggest fatality number i possibly can, he wrote. Authorities say the rifle matches one used monday to rob a convenience store, and that oconnor wrote in his journal about how powerful he felt and how scared the female cashier was at him pointing his gun at her. Prosecutors believe the robbery finally here tonight, people who knew aaron feis were not surprised that he put the safety of Stoneman Douglas students above his own. The assistant football coach and School Security guard died a hero. At the first sound of gunshots feis yelled over his radio, that is not firecrackers. Then he ran to protect students. He sprinted with everything he had towards it to make sure everybody was safe. And i heard that he got in front of a couple of people and shielded them and he actually took the bullets for them. Reporter feis is believed to have saved at least two kids. He later died in surgery. A 1999 graduate of Stoneman Douglas, feis coached the offensive line.

For some of you the news continues. For others check back with us a little later for the morning news and cbs this morning. From parkland, florida im jeff glor. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Hi, everyone and welcome to the overnight news. Im demarco morgan. The suspect in the Valentines Day School Massacre in florida 19yearold nikolas cruz is being held without bail. Hes charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder. Police say cruz is the lone gunman who opened fire inside the marjory Stoneman Douglas high school wednesday, leaving the entire community shattered. Investigators say cruz posted, quote, very, very disturbing material on social media and a white separatist leader says cruz trained with his group. Manuel bojorquez begins our coverage. Reporter terrified students ran for their lives after witnessing classmates cut down by bullets. Broward county sheriff scott israel. At 2 21 hours 33 seconds the suspect readied his rifle and began shooting into rooms. Reporter the sheriff said nikolas cruz began firing at four classrooms on the first floor. The suspected shooter then made his way to the second floor, shot one victim, then went to the third floor, where he dropped his rifle and backpack. The suspect crossed fields and ran west along with others who were fleeing and tried to mix in with the group that were running away, fearing for their lives. Reporter cruz turned up at a walmart and bought a drink at a Subway Sandwich shop. After a brief stop at mcdonalds he left at 3 01 p. M. As bullets rang out students quietly hid wherever they could. Hands, hands. Put your hands up. Reporter as police raced to their rescue. Coconut creek officer Michael Leonard was the first to spot cruz, one hour and 20 minutes after the first shot was fired, about two miles away. I discovered an individual walking on the sidewalk that was wearing the clothing description that had been given over the radio. He complied with my commands and was taken into custody without any issues. There needs to be justice. My friends are gone. Reporter student tyra hemans said she knew cruz was troubled but did not believe he was capable of killing her friend joaquin and assistant football coach aaron feis. He wasnt happy, so he had to take it out on people that were just so beautiful. Reporter sheriff israel once again repeated the call for anyone who sees or hears something suspicious to report it. If someone came forward to your agency with information about this suspect, what could you legally have done about the fact that he owned a gun . If he legally owned a gun, we couldnt do anything about arresting him for having a gun, but we could certainly follow up. We could certainly go to visit him. Whether he legally owns a gun or not. So we went downstairs and theyre screaming code red, code red, just keep on going, go back up. It was a very scary moment. But it was hard to believe that someone, an individual would have this type of power.

The Valentines Day School Massacre in florida has renewed the call for tougher gun laws, but the u. S. Congress is going in the opposite direction. The republicancontrolled house recently passed a bill that would make gun permits just like drivers licenses. If you get a permit to carry a gun in your home state, you could carry that gun across state lines and into any state in the nation. Steve kroft has the story for 60 minutes. Reporter this is the handgun counter at vans Sporting Goods outside jackson, mississippi, a state with the fourth highest gun fatality rate in the country and some of the weakest gun laws. These are good for ankles, hip, or inside the pocket. Reporter pretty much anyone 18 years of age and not a convicted felon can carry one of these concealed weapons here. In their pocket, their pants, or their purse. For selfdefense against muggers, carjackers, and other assailants. You need it, its ready to go. Reporter if the concealed carry reciprocity act becomes law, theyll be able to carry them legally across state lines and onto the streets of any city in america. I think the aim of this bill is to simply allow responsibly armed americans to be able to travel and continue to defend their families. And carry concealed firearms. And carry concealed firearms. Anywhere. Yes. Yes. Reporter tim schmidt is president and founder of the United States concealed carry association. Along with the National Rifle association and other gun rights groups, they have successfully sold the bill in conservative red states as a simple common sense solution to a hodgepodge of confusing contradictory state laws they say infringe upon americans rights to bear arms. These laws change on a quarterly basis if not more often. So you can easily go from being a responsibly armed citizen whos 100 legal to being a criminal just by crossing state lines. Reporter but theres fierce opposition to it in places like california where there are strict gun laws and concealed carry permits are difficult to obtain. Its one of eight states that generally require thorough background checks, at least some firearms training, and a proven need to carry a handgun. In another 30 states its easier to get a concealed carry permit. And in many of those theres no requirement to be proficient in the use of firearms. A dozen states have no rquirements at all. Robin thomas, the executive director of the Giffords Law Center to prevent gun violence, says forcing states to accept any and all gun permits would make the weakest laws in the country the new norm. Someone who lives in nevada whos able to carry a loaded concealed weapon in nevada could now bring that loaded gun into los angeles, into San Francisco, and carry their loaded weapon even though in San Francisco thats not someone who would get a permit. So this law would essentially usurp the gun laws in cities like new york and chicago and los angeles . Absolutely. Reporter to blue state liberals who favor gun control it may sound like a rightwing fantasy. But to the National Rifle association, which contributed 30 million to Donald Trumps president ial campaign and claims credit for his victory, its their top legislative priority. And with midterm elections this year nothing is taken for granted. In 2013 a similar bill failed by just three votes. The nra declined to give us an interview on this story but its position is well documented on its website. This is the voice of its leader, wayne lapierre, right after the last election. This is our historic moment, to go on offense and defeat the force thats have aligned against our freedom once and for all. I call on congress and the president elect to Pass National right to carry reciprocity as quickly as it can be written and signed. The individual right to carry a firearm in defense of our lives and our families does not and should not end at any state line. Reporter as proof of injustice the nra and other gun rights advocates use the case of Shaneen Allen as ammunition. In 2013 while driving from philadelphia to atlantic city, new jersey the single mother and mugging victim was pulled over with a pistol in her purse and a valid concealed carry permit from her home state of pennsylvania. Let me tell you a story. Reporter congressman Richard Hudson of north carolina, who authored the house version of the concealed carry reciprocity act, told allens story on the day the house passed the bill. What she didnt know is new jersey didnt recognize pennsylvanias concealed carry permits. So this single mom whod never had a runin with the law spent almost two months in jail and was facing ten years in prison because she crossed that state line. How was the case finally adjudicated . Governor Chris Christie stepped in and pardoned her. Otherwise, like i said, she was facing ten years in prison. How often does that happen . Well, once is too much. These are lawabiding citizens. These are not the problem. Reporter the large constituency for this message is a long way from the new jersey turnpike. In the red states that stretch from the carolinas through the mountains of the far west. It is the political fault line of regional and cultural differences that split the country. And guns are one of the triggers. Hey. Theyre woven into the culture here. Passed down from generation to generation in rural remote parts of the country where dialing 911 does not always bring immediate help. To people here, whether theyre single mothers worried about robbers and rapists while driving their kids across state lines to soccer matches, or ranchers worried about rattlesnakes, guns are a security blanket of selfreliance and protection. They keep them safe. For me its just a way of life. Its like when i get up in the morning and i get dressed i get my wallet, i get my watch, i get my keys, i get my phone. Its the same thing to get my gun. Reporter but in most big cities like los angeles, chicago, washington, d. C. And new york, guns are a cause of fear and concern, not comfort. And Law Enforcement is lined up against strangers from faraway places Walking Around their cities with loaded guns in violation of their own laws. I think it would be a disaster for new york city, and i think for major cities around the country. I think its insanity. Reporter Manhattan District Attorney cyrus vance and new York City Police commissioner james oneal say their city has the most to lose. Every year new york takes in nearly 50 million visitors from all over the country into a congested, sometimes chaotic city. Even if a tiny fraction were legally carrying concealed weapons, it would mean hundreds of thousands of additional guns for what is right now the safest big city in america. You bring that amount of firepower, even with wellintentioned people its going to be extremely dangerous. More guns more violence, thats what youre saying. Absolutely. Reporter theyre not just worried about more crime but an increase in suicides, gun accidents, and heated arguments turning into lethal altercations. And with no National Data base for concealed carry permits the nypd says it would not be able to immediately determine whether someone was legally carrying or not. Right now we have a good idea of whos carrying guns. If this law passes all bets are off. Anybody could come into new york city from any state and carry a weapon. I wouldnt presume to tell the residents of West Virginia what their gun laws should be. Theyve figured out what they want there. But i dont think they or congress should be having West Virginias laws put on new york city. The people who are strongest against this bill are Law Enforcement. Reporter vance and oneil have established a formidable coalition of prosecutors and Police Chiefs from nearly every big city in america to lobby senators to keep the concealed carry reciprocity act from becoming law. Representative hudson, theres huge opposition to this bill among Police Departments in major cities in the United States. Houston, tucson, metropolitan d. C. , boston, new york city, baltimore, seattle. These are all cities where the chief of police has come out against this law. There are more if you want me to read more. Sure. How do you explain that . There are folks on both sides of the argument. And i think good folks on both sides who are honestly trying to protect their citizens. I just disagree with the conclusions. So youre saying new york or los angeles or chicago, big cities have no right to pass any laws that regulates who can carry a weapon. These cities and these states can still continue to have whatever laws they want to protect their citizens but they cant have a law that prohibits someone from carrying a concealed weapon. Right. Just like a drivers license. You cant say you cant drive here. Its not just like a drivers license. Because to get a drivers license you have to demonstrate a proficiency and establish that youre not going to endanger the public. And that you understand all the laws governing it. But thats not the case in terms of possessing getting a concealed carry permit. Well, drivings a privilege. Owning a firearm is a constitutionally protected right. There is a difference.

As america searches for answers after another mass shooting, one thing is clear. The gun business appears stronger than ever. Nearly 4 million rifles were produced in the u. S. In 2015. Thats up more than 150 from a decade earlier. And the weapon of choice for many is the ar15. Last autumn Marc Strassmann met some proud owners. Reporter in the hills of western kentucky eve haney fires an ar15. Haneys a 62yearold grandmother from tallahassee, florida. Shes competing in a shooting match organized by a girl and a gun, a National Group of female gun enthusiasts. I didnt realize how competitive i was. But i am. I like to see my scores. And i like to hear the ping, ping, ping of the steel. Reporter 57yearold dr. Laura torres reyes is a retired air force colonel. 42yearold Robin Sandoval is a mother of three from austin, texas. Is it more fun than empowering or empowering than fun . I think its empowering and fun. Both. Empowering and fun. Reporter but all of them used to hate guns. You were scared of them . I was petrified of them. I didnt want them in the house. I didnt want them in the home. Reporter for sandoval the turning point was hurricane katrina. First responders were unable to respond and families were kind of left on their own. I wanted to be my childrens first responder. I wanted to protect them. This a. R. Is my favorite a. R. Reporter its easy to use . Its easy. Reporter but the ar15 is no ordinary gun. A descendant of the m16 designed for u. S. Soldiers in vietnam, now wildly popular among u. S. Civilian gun owners who own an estimated 5 to 10 million of them. The ar15 has also become the weapon of choice for many homicidal loners. In las vegas gunman Stephen Paddock modified his ar15 into fully automatic assault rifle. When you first heard about vegas, what went through your minds . This man chose a horrible thing to do. Its on him. How do you get into the head of someone thats that insane . I just cant even i cant even go there. Do you think there should be general civilian access to the ars . I do. Because its our right. Its our Second Amendment right. It really goes down to that. I like having access to my a. R. We have one for home defense. Reporter is it a legitimate question to ask whether theres a need for that . It is absolutely a legitimate question. And i think thats in terms of debate and speech we need to talk about these things. Reporter none of them knew how to protect society from killers armed with ar15s. Striking that balance has been the most elusive target in americas gun rights debate. The olympics in south korea have sparked a new push to reunify the country with the north. But Many South Koreans think thats a terrible idea. Holly williams is there. There are some things here in south korea that most people agree on, like just how well korean barbecue goes with beer. But when it comes to how to deal with north korea, their closest neighbor and worst enemy, they cannot agree. Yim kyung soon hits the slopes outside seoul every two weeks, carving up the powder. Hes also 88 years old and still full of life. Mr. Yim learned to ski in the 1940s, but then he had to stop, he told us, because he signed up to fight in the korean war. It began in 1950 and killed 4 Million People by some estimates. The Korean Peninsula is now divided between a communist north and a capitalist south. We need to reunify our country, mr. Yim told us. We need to Work Together to bring peace. The singers in this choir agree. Heal the world, they sing. Michael jacksons plea for peace. Theyre a mix of South Koreans and defectors from north korea, making perfect harmony. But this thaw in relations has also caused a backlash. These rightwing protesters say their government is appeasing the north. After venting their feelings about north koreas dictator kim jong un the police moved in. Emotions run high when your nuclearcapable enemy is just 35 miles away. And recent polls show around half of young South Koreans dont support reunification. Many of them say after 70 years of division the north is now a foreign country. When they wanted to talk, they shot missiles first. Reporter this group said reunification might be nice one day but feared it would mean bankrolling the povertystricken north and higher taxes for them. It is something that is desirable, but i dont think koreas ready to handle the drawbacks. Its going to cost us tons and tons of money to build the country. Reporter reunification may be a distant dream or nightmare, depending on your perspective, but a summit meeting between the two koreas could happen this year.
