I was. Wrong on this im joined live by our teases america. What more do we know about the situation so far. Well multiple fatalities have been confirmed in the deadly shooting that took place today at Marjorie Stoneman douglas high in a high school about fifty kilometers north of Miami Florida now according to the Broward County Sheriffs Office seventeen people lost their lives and up to fifteen were injured lets take a look at the sheriffs description of the situation building. We have seventeen from for victims twelve victims were in the building. And shoot two victims are outside just outside the building one victim is on the street at the corner of pine island. And choose folks are people. Lost their lives at the hospital its a mixture i dont know thirty teachers but it would be well you know it is certainly students and this certainly does. Authorities have also said that the suspected shooter apparently a former student has been detained is and is now in Police Custody but the scene is still active in swat teams are clearing the school at the moment but the Sheriffs Office has identified the shooter as and Nicholas Cruz a nineteen year old former student who reportedly used an a ar fifteen rifle and had multiple magazines on him Florida Governor rick scott said he had been in touch with local officials throughout the whole incident and President Donald Trump has offered his prayers and condolences via twitter but according to the schools twitter students have been reunited with their families who described the situation as chaotic and frantic and we dont know the exact details regarding the suspect but well get you all of the info on that as soon as we have it or t. Samir khan there for us in the United States and stan across the situation for us thanks for being with us now police have detained the suspect. The gunman and identified him as Nicholas Cruz as you just heard samir mention he is a one thousand year old a former student of the school who was expelled for disciplinary reasons this is the latest video that we have of the suspect Nicholas Cruz hes wearing a hospital gown now and he is being taken out of a police car by the officers and then taken into the Police Station presumably for questioning. Now there was a High School Freshman at the school tweeting out the incident as it was unfolding harrowing situation take a look. I had to discuss this further lets not cross live to steven miles burke who is a conservative t. V. And radio host steve thanks for being with us here on R T International. So weve seen incidents like this on fold. Many many many times now in the United States unfortunately this is the eighteenth School Shooting incident not all have injuries but in the United States this year in two thousand nine hundred one what might trigger a student to target his classmates like this and was this a cry for help or attention or maybe Something Else something bigger. Well first of all thanks for having me send my condolences to the families of those who lost their most precious loved ones today and pray for the injured as donald trump. Said similar earlier on by the way i take issue i mean i dont want to know that they classify School Shootings even if it takes place in a parking lot or across the street and even if no ones injured so you know that number of eight hundred School Shootings in the in the in the United States already this year i find it a little misleading im not blaming you now this this shooter according to what ive been reading ive seen a quote from his math teacher from when he was a student last year and the math teacher said he wasnt allowed in the school with a backpack thats how much they suspected hed be up to no good one day ive heard from other classmates that people knew he liked to talk about guns and he had guns at home and he showed up they had talked about bombs and people of people felt apparently at least theyre saying it now that it was only a matter of time and people stayed away from this guy so this doesnt come as a complete surprise that to those on the ground in the area at the school that this kid if he did it would be up to no good now you mention this letter from the teacher and the fact that he seems to be obsessed with weapons and i mean what have you how could this attacker have obtained weapons he may not have even been old enough to buy the weapons legally. Well im not sure i dont we dont know yet what he had and you know if he sold them if he bought them its a little too early for that he is nineteen now i dont know what the legal age is in the state of florida or where he obtained them. You know that aside what i would like to if you dont mind i would just like to say that one thing that these shootings have in common. In the United States and there were been School Shootings. Elsewhere theres been a couple in germany over the past ten years seventeen and sixteen were shot by by teenagers theres been of course beslan was a terror attack can you had a terror attack other countries rio had a young man who killed students so its not unique only to the United States with guns in schools but i think in this country. The liberals on the left there are adverse to to to letting teachers who are willing to be trained and wanted to undertake the responsibility to to have a gun in the classroom in their desk or on their person to prevent Something Like this or to make it less of a catastrophe. The zone schools shopping malls where these mass shooters strike theyre gone free zones which means the shooter knows im going to be able to walk in here and im going to have all day until a cop shows up to just shoot and reload and keep shooting because nobody is allowed to have a gun for self defense i think that needs to change in our schools so what specifically needs to change i mean you bring up a good point that there are School Shootings and incidents similar to this in other countries but. In other countries they seem to be an anomaly in the United States they seem to be something of unfortunately becoming part of the norm and this is something that we dont want to happen to be the norm in the us what needs to happen in schools in order to make sure that this doesnt happen. Well you know in when they talk about putting a Police Officer in schools or Police Officers i think every locality should be required to have a Police Officer in every school now that might not stop it it certainly might deter a lot of people who might do it otherwise and you hear the left screamo no violation of civil rights we dont want cops in our schools. If youre conflating with kids. As if cops are the enemy so you need a Police Officer in every school and i think taxpayers would agree to pay for that in their locality i think its worth it and you also like i said you need to let teachers and workers in the school after they undergo background checks and after their Mental Health is established and after they go undergo training if they want to carry guns or have a gun in their desk at school they should be allowed to right now you talk about that in your view it is some kind of radical nut job but it would deter and it would also help in the event of a shooting where they could stop somebody from shooting more and get to them before the police could actually get there and stop the shooter thats thats just two things i see right off the bat so you bring up the big gun debate in the United States and you are a selfproclaimed conservative t. V. And radio host the left would say that more guns is not the answer to the problem. And this incident is sure to bring up the political debate in washington once again as to sensible gun control verse is. The n. R. A. Lobby which doesnt want to have any gun control whatsoever but you also brought up the point that after their background checks and after the Mental Health checks come out do you think that sensible gun regulation in the United States is a possibility. Well im talking about for teachers thats what i was talking about we have sensible gun control we have eighteen thousand gun laws in this country chicago has some of the most prohibitive strictest gun laws in the country and its a its a disaster area where people get shot all the time by bad guys not letting good guys have guns is not the answer letting good guys have guns is the answer the bad guys will always have the guns so we do have gun laws and by the way the reason why you always hear this and congress doesnt do anything even by the way when the democrats controlled congress and when barack obama was president you know why they dont continue on this and go for it go for it and push it because the public doesnt want it if it was politically advantageous to the left to pursue this they would but the overwhelming majority of people in this country believe in the Second Amendment and were proud to have the Second Amendment and with common sense how about a crime bill that locks up the criminal if you use a gun in the commission of a crime just show it for ten years in prison no questions asked if you fire it even if you fire it in the air fifteen years hows that for gun control all know thats thats a new main the left would say you cant lock up the bad guy so were all messed up in this country when it comes to the left and their values and their perceptions gun control yes we do have laws on the books eighteen thousand of them. Pushing back just a little bit donald trump one of his first actual acts as president was to lessen the restrictions on guns for people who do have Mental Health problems and mental disabilities to make it easier for them to get a gun do you think it is a good idea for people who have Mental Health issues to be allowed to carry guns in these situations you. Know. And i dont think thats what he did i mean what is a mental problem if anybody whos ever been to a therapist anybody whos ever been to a psychiatrist anybody whos ever sought help for anxiety is that qualify you as as does that this you know disqualify you from from having your Second Amendment rights we have to be very careful now i look i have i have a child i have my own safety i have my family i dont want to anybodys showed up with a gun but you cant take the Second Amendment away from a person just because they you know they had anxiety or they or they were accused of something that never came to fruition you have to be careful you go down that slippery slope and youve got to take a lot of people away a lot of peoples rights away in an unintended way lets talk about that Mental Health issue just for a second is it possible for schools to. Track these students better. Maybe even social profiling if you will even though that seems like a controversial concept but what can schools do to ensure that the catch these students before incidents like this take place. I dont know i mean that without infringing on their privacy ok troubled students troubled students or report you know we have a saying here that if you see something Say Something that usually applies to terrorists terrorism if you see a bag on a train or at an airport or somebody acting suspicious they want you to Say Something on the other hand the left then will say oh youre profiling so they want that both ways too but they see something Say Something same could be for students i mean im sure troubled students are reported by the teacher to the Department Heads but then what happens you call the parents i mean you cant call Law Enforcement just because somebody talks about something or acts strange or whatever i mean its a very again its a very slippery slope its a very hard job and me teachers in. Administrators theyve got all these students coming and going but if someone sticks out there should be a mechanism where yeah theyre reported but ultimately it also comes down to the parent the parents got to know their kid a parents got to know somethings wrong with their kid i mean who knows the kid better than their parents parental responsibility plays a big role here im not saying in this shooting because i know nothing about this nineteen year old and his history and his parents but in general yes the parent has to play a large role here and just to fill people in who are just joining us youre watching our to international and our special coverage of breaking news coming from southern florida in the United States where shooting has taken place at a high school where seventeen people are dead following the attack. Up to fifty possibly more injured as well. And right now. Were talking with steve monts burke who is conservative t. V. And radio host now steve very interesting to hear your opinions such an interesting situation i want to know about something that the sheriff said we were just talking about social profiling and actually the sheriff in his Media Conference asked people to tell police if they notice suspicious activity on social media specifically speaking to fellow students. Does this seem like a controversial idea is this where were headed as a country in the United States where Law Enforcement is going to be asking students to basically rat out other students or is that a good thing is that. What are your thoughts. Well thats that thats thats difficult to i mean i dont you know i dont know how officially hes calling for that but certainly if if if youre a student and youre afraid of another kid and other people are afraid to and you of yourself say. This guys going to snap one day this guy is going to do something this guy at and you know and look what he posted on social media theres nothing wrong with showing it to the teacher or showing it to your parent or calling the police if you think theres something i dont think you need to actively go through the social media of all your friends i think you would know who social media to look at so i dont think its a call to rat out people but its a call again if you send something if you if this guy six up like a sore thumb and you know that hes posting threats or hes posting bomb making materials or gone whatever then its a good idea to tell somebody what is the right thing to do politically in this situation. What it what whats the answer i mean i know that its a very open ended broad question here but what can the right offer to. Make these situations less frequent. Well you know first of all the first thing one of the cable stations right after the shooting talked about how the anchor and the guest a terrorism expert talked about how were the only country the only country where this happens it happens nowhere else which as ive already alluded to is full is false then there was a democratic elected official a congressman from connecticut before i left to come to do your show who was on that same Cable Network and he was talking about the n. R. A. And bob about this its the same old mantra the bodies arent even claimed yet the identities arent even known and already they know to blame the ira how did how does anybody know what happened in this situation where he got the gun why it was that legal was it not did he break the law did he follow the law up until the point of shooting of course was he did he have a psychiatric history or not so so i think what we first need to do politically is and this is unfortunate on both sides sometimes dont jump to conclusions lets wait and see whats going on here but again were not get a second feis the second. In this country because there are bad guys and taking guns away and limiting the rights of good guys is just not the answer to getting rid of bad guys bad guys will always be bad and if you take away their guns which will be impossible theyll use other means of killing and i think thats been proven time and time again so if we look at. The process in the United States many of our viewers around the world dont necessarily know what our system is what is going to happen next to the shooter. Well the shooter is in custody he would he was taken to the hospital he was checked out hes now in custody he will i would imagine be arraigned before a judge he will enter a plea agreement is being charged theyll charge him i guess with multiple counts of murder and he will have a lawyer either hell get a lawyer or one will be appointed for him thats how it works in this country as you well know if you can afford one a dont have one one is provided and he will enter a plea guilty not guilty whatever and you know then he will undergo a series of Mental Health checks to see if you swallow five to stand trial and then hill arrange a defense with his attorney if he is deemed qualified because he plead insanity does he plead to cut a deal where theres no trial and he pleads guilty to certain charges for a certain amount of jail time so theres no telling how what path this will take but one thing is for certain this man will if if he did it and you know we can only assume the reports are correct he will never see the light of day again all right Steve Malzberg conservative t. V. And radio host and you bring up a good point that its still early in the situation and we need to wait for everything to play out before everybody jumps on and tries to point fingers and figure out what to do based on. Complete information all right thanks for being with us. Jennifer braden International Law attorney told us earlier that restricting access to firearms in the United States is a very challenging proposition we have allowed gun to come into the hands i mean that is the right of americans and the Second Amendment is to have been to use them responsibly and to use them for selfdefense and for purposes like that not to carry out violent so but even if tomorrow the us with the say no more guns theyre all banned completely banned you still have millions of guns throughout the United States that the wrong person could get their hands on and so the most important thing right now if violence like this can happen inevitably regardless of gun control laws is to make sure that one people that have them are protecting them in their home keeping them safe to make sure that we have background checks security checks so they dont get into the hands of the wrong people and three to make sure that we set up to utilize funds to set up the proper Defense Mechanisms have a local Police Forces local Law Enforcement be able to bring proper security to the school be able to at least guard the school send a couple uniformed officers or at least keep an eye out on the school so theres somebody there to Something Like this doesnt happen again in order to to stop the threat of violence that people can just really go into schools or children are trying to learn so thats going to be the most important thing is making sure if we can stop this or stop people from getting their hands on the weapons right now then that we have defense measures Law Enforcement set in place to at least protect the victim if this in fact does happen again.
