The world. Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. Zblv a search for excusers after a pipe and Pressure Cooker bombs were found at the high school where a 17yearold student is suspected of killing ten peel and injuring ten more in a shooting rampage. We have our correspondents and analysts standing by. Brian todd begins. Brian, were learning more about the suspect. We are. New information from multiple sources. Were getting details on the suspects background, the plan on attacking the school and on the minute by minute accounts of how this unfolded just after he walked in wearing a long coat and wearing a shotgun under it. Tonight investigators are questioning 17yearold Dimitrios Pagourtzis who they say planted explosives around the high school in texas before opening fire. Shots fired. More shots fired. Additional shots fired. The first call came into 911 shortly after school started. Several more shots. Students stay pagourtzis who attended santa fe high seemed to have a plan. Fire alarms were pulled around the time the shooting happened. I was in the history hallway. As soon as we heard the alarms, everybody just started leaving. Following the same procedure as we did. Nobody thought it would be this. Nobody thought it was a shooting. Everybody just thought it was a normal procedure practice fire drill. Pagourtzis appears to have set off explosives which Officials Say they believe he built himself. Ieds in a room. We just hear three gunshots. A lot of explosions and all the teachers are telling us to run, run, go. Run. Reporter as police began surrounding the school, inside they say he continued shooting. Using a shotgun and a resolver taken from his father. Hes shooting. Hes in the art room. Shots fired right now, guys. They heard three shots and mr. Vaughn said to run. Everybody took off. I grabbed her and ran to the tree line. Reporter Officials Say pagourtzis was injured at some point. Its not clear how. He was eventually taken alive. The shooter has information contained on his computer and cell phone that he said not only did he want to commit the shooting but wanted to commit suicide after the shooting. As you probably know, he gave himself up. And admitted at the time he didnt have the courage reporter officers cleared the building evacuating students and searching some. Me and my friend ryan calvert ran so we could get shelter, and thats when i called my mom. Reporter in addition to the shooter, police say they are holding a possible accomplice, an 18yearold fellow student. Tonight investigators say theyre focussed on tracking down any other explosive devices the shooter may have planted at and near the scene. Theyve already found one and a car ban dioxide device. Police have warrants to search two nearby homes and the car. They are proceeding carefully because of worry of bombs. Community members should be on the lookout for suspicious items and anything that looks out of place. Do not touch any items that look out of place. Reporter tonight students and parents in santa fe are describing moments of terror and confusion. If you would have heard what i heard this morning, the fear in my loved ones voice because of my son being in that classroom. Tonight a Law Enforcement official tells us authorities are talking to the shooting suspect. One Law Enforcement source says officials are discussing whether to bring federal charges against him because the bombs involved today are considered weapons of mass destruction. He also faces state charges which carry the Death Penalty. Did the suspect own the guns that were used and how did he get them . According to the governor neither one was owned legally or po sa possessed by the shooter. They were owned by the shooters father. Its not known whether or not the father was aware the son had taken the weapons from the home. Hes about to make his initial appearance in court . Thats correct. Were expecting that at any moment. Again, its going to be interesting to see the charges brought against him whether federal charges can be brought. Hes already got the state charges that bring the Death Penalty. Also theyre going to need to know more about a possible accomplice who theyve been holding and questioning here and just how these two might have been involved together. Theyre searching Properties Around the area for possible explosives and traces of it. They need a lot more information from him. Ryan todd, thank you very much. We have experts getting ready to assess the latest developments. Were getting more information as we speak. Joining us on the phone is the Galveston County judge. Thank you so much for joining us. You were born in that area, raised in that area. First of all, our hearts out to you and everybody in the community. How is the community responding . Thank you very much, and thank you for having me. The community is in shock. And this isnt the kind of thing that you think is going to happen in your backyard. Were still learning about this suspect. Theres a lot more we need to learn. Does it look to you, judge, like there were some serious warning signs that were missed . What was briefed to the governor and myself was that there were really no warning signs. They were so subtle that they would have been missed. We have not been able to ascertain any criminal history of the suspect so far or any outward overtures that would be concerning to anyone. There was the t shirt he posted a picture born to kill. Thats a pretty serious statement. It is, and looking backwards, that would be the only thing we can point to, and that by itself, im sure a lot of teenagers have worn a similar shirt and taken pictures. That doesnt mean it ends up like this. He also had a nazi coat with paraphernalia. He always wore this long trench coat to school even if it was 90 degrees outside. Thats Something Else in hindsight we should study given the fact that he apparently had that shotgun under that long trench coach. What can you tell us about the explosive\devices that were discovered at the school, on the scene near the campus . We were informed by the Sheriffs Office there were two devices and i think the atf is working with them. Neither device was capable of detonating or discharging. They were two crude attempts to make an iedlooking device but not one that would function. Judge, what can you tell us about any possible accomplices . The only person of interest, i got a briefing. I think its too early to suggest hes an accomplice. It sounds like he may just need to be questioned. We do not immediately see a direct connection between the person of interest and the suspect. Do we know if this suspect simply, is 17 years old took the weapon from his father or the father allowed him to take the weapons. Theres a big weapon. The investigators will have to investigate that. I am a father. I would never allow my 17yearold to have possession of that. If the father was simply negligent and didnt have the weapons locked up, would the father potentially be in legal jeopardy . Thats a question to ask of investigators and prosecuters, not me. Hows the community dealing with all this, judge . Its a shock. I dont know how else to describe it. The first call to 911 at 7 32 this morning and its been surreal ever since. I was notified about 7 45. Ive made three trips to the high school. Im with the governor. Were about to meet a victim and a family. This is not how we thought this would turn out. Do you know, by the way, judge, if police were called to the suspects home in advance . Im referring to what happened in parkland, florida in february. There were a lot of missed signs, local police, fbi. There were warnings there, but simply ignored. So far we have no indication that we he had any Previous Police contact. Investigators said they ran a criminal history and there was none until now. And no criminal history on his father or family . Say it again . What about his father . I dont have that information. No information on that. What do you think needs to be done in order to prevent these kinds of School Shootings. Nine kids are dead. One teacher is dead. Ten others were injured, wounded. What needs to be done to prevent this down the road . Thats a great question for elected policy makers. My role is to manage the crisis as best i can and provide as much aid and comfort as i can. Theyre going to need a lot of aid and comfort right now, especially the kids. Judge mark henry, thank you for joining us. Thank you, sir. All right. Lets dig deeper with our specialists and analysts. Youre getting new information right now. What are you learning . I think what the judge said appears to be new information. These were two crude devices that this person who we were told may have been an accomplice officials wanted to talk to. It seems theyve talked to the official according to what the judge says and basically shes describing him as someone they just needed to talk to. So certainly those new pieces of information are just coming in to us. We have not talked to any of our Law Enforcement sources yet to figure out where they stand in terms of the investigation, but certainly what he said there seems to be new information. The suspect is about to make his initial Court Appearance. What do we anticipate will unfold . I would assume hell be told what his charges are. Were told theyre capital murder charges. Some of that will probably be revealed we may learn more about how he was taken into custody. The governor there told us that he gave up essentially and wanted to kill himself, but he was in the able to follow through and gave up. We may learn more about the interaction the police had with him, but it sounds like this is going to be an initial appearance. I dont expect a lot will come out in this core proceeding. Certainly it will be the first time that we all get to see him, and this will happen hopefully within the next hour or so. Jessica, what are you hearing about how authoritying are a authorities are approaching this investigation. It is just beginning. This has been unfolding all day. But theres a lot more to come here. While we wait for this suspect to appear in court, this investigation is spanning far and wide. I mean, with a lot of different agencies here. You have the federal agencies, state, and local. We know that state, the Texas Department of public safety, theyre taking the lead here, but fbi, atf, theyve all sent their agents there, and in particular, youve got bomb techs on the ground. Youve got other agents on the ground from the Fbi Field Office in houston. The bomb teches are interesting. Both local and federal speak the same language. It will be important. One of the concerns right now are the ieds, the explosives. We heard from the governor that there are these search warrants out there, but they have to be careful when theyre going into the vehicles and the homes. They just dont know what theyre going to find. The bomb techs both crucial to as the investigation moves forward, theres a lot of work to do. We have a live picture coming in right now. This is the camera in the courtroom where the suspect will be making his initial appearance momentarily. Fairly soon. Were going to have coverage of that. Well see what he says. Well see what the judge says. Stand by for that, the initial Court Appearance for this suspect. Josh gamble was a supervisory agent at the fbi, special agent. Walk us through how authorities are trying to figure out whether or not there was an accomplice or accomplices. So there will be multiple data points to help them assess whether or not they are out of the woods when it comes it being one person or one person working with someone else or may have been assisted. The first thing theyre going to be doing is the interview with the subject. We have to understand as this time line moves forward and we get closer to the initial appearance, Law Enforcement officers will have an opportunity to continue interviewing him and talking to him. Hes probably already been provided a lawyer by the state at this point. Once that happens and once that initial appearance kicks off, i dont know if hell waive his preliminary hearing or move to trial. That would depend on if he pleads guilty or not. Law enforcement officers are going to capitalize on the time right now to determine if hes being cooperative. Theyll move and talk to witnesses. People who were in his orbit whether its family members or friends at the school to try to assess was he acting alone or were there others assisting him. With respect to the locations, well see the physical searches, well probably have video footage of that with Law Enforcements coming to the trailer and other locations. Theyre racing daylight. In a situation where theres a possibility of explosive devices, a crude incendiary device, thats something theyre not going to want to do once darkness hits. A lot of this investigation is going to continue and be multifaceted and may last more than just today. Obviously with respect to the searches, but that information will start coming out in short order as far as what theyre dealing with and how big a picture this is. Jim acosta is getting more information at the white house. What are you learning . Reporter i can tell you we just talked to Sarah Sanders about what happened in texas. I pressed her on what the administration is doing to prevent these kinds of School Shootings to try to tamp down on this problem of gun violence in this country. She said to us just a few moments ago the conversations about School Safety are ongoing. And she said that the administrations School Safety commission, this was something created in recent weeks after what happened in parkland, florida. The commission was activated today, she said, and that the commission is going to have its first meeting next week. Now, when people are at home and theyre inclined to support gun control measures, they hear a commission activated, that doesnt sound like a movement happening quickly in terms of gun control, and that may be the case, but it was notable, wolf, that the White House Press secretary said theyre activating the School Safety commission and start having meetings next week on the issue of protecting the nations schools which obviously are not being protected at this point. This problem of Mass Shootings at your nations schools, it keeps happening. But when i asked her what else is being done at the moment, she said that the president did speak with the Texas Governor abbott earlier today, and no word yet as to whether or not the president will go down to texas and visit the scene or the town of santa fe, texas. But they are keeping tabs on it, monitoring developments with officials and she said conversations are ongoing as to how to protect the schools. The question in the end is ultimately what the president will do about this, because as we saw earlier this year after what happened down in parkland, florida, the president sounded receptive to gun control measures. Even talked about going background check legislation. Even talked about going after, perhaps, the age limit on people buying long rifles and assault style weapons, that sort of thing. And then the president backed down after he met with the National Rifle association. Earlier this month he even said that the Second Amendment rights of americans are under siege and thats not going to happen on his watch. Sarah sanders a few moments ago made it sound as if the conversation is getting restarted in light of what happened in texas. Jim acosta, well get back to you. Were awaiting his first Court Appearance. Were told thats going to happen momentarily. There you see live cameras in the courtroom. Well see what he says. Well see what the judge says. Stick around.

But good night, kyle. [ switch clicks, door closes ] i told you i was just checking the wiring in here, kyle. Hes never like this. I think somethings going on at school. [ sighs ] hes not engaging. The Texas High School shooting that left ten people dead, ten injured of the ten dead, nine of them kids, students. One teacher. Were standing by for the first Court Appearance by the suspect. A 17yearold student at the school. Lets dig deeper with our specialists and analysts. The fact that it wasnt just a. 38 caliber revolver and shotgun but also improvised explosive devices planted on the campus. That raises the level of this attempted mass murder. This is a very different one than other places. The fact that there were improvised explosive devices suggests calculation. It tells us he was able to stop and not only think about what he wanted to accomplish but was thinking beyond going in and shooting up the students in the school. I think that i was a little surprised when officials came out early on and said there were no warning signs at this point. But i think when you look at what he did in terms of putting the guys other places, i think well find there were warning signs. You dont do this level of planning without there being something to indicate youre up to something. And josh, certainly with hindsight, it looks like this is just a few hours later, there were plenty of warning signs. Absolutely. And shawn is spot on when he talks about the devices. Thats taking this to a new level. Its one thing for someone to wake up and the crime of passion where they have something theyre trying to act on and grab a firearm and go act. Thats obviously difficult to stop. The flash to bang when someone decides to do something is short. But when you talk about devices. They take time. Whether you have to get ingredients or learn the expertise and the knowhow. Maybe if there are others showing you how to do this. These are different areas where possibly a plot like this could be stopped if someone sees something suspicious and says what is this person doing . Who gathers these ingredients and whats going on here . It shows a level of sophisticati sophistication. Were probably going to learn there were opportunities. Someone may have seen something and maybe didnt report it to Law Enforcement. Do authorities acknowledge they missed signs . You know, they havent acknowledged anything like that. They are talking to one or two people of interest here. There was one person on scene who theyre speaking with. Of course, with all of this, with the weaponry and also with the social media posts, the Big Questions are going to be with the parents. And perhaps with any Close Friends. Because obviously the weapons were owned by the father, the question being did the father know that his son may have had access to it or his son took the guns . And then what did they know about just his behavior as josh said . These ieds took time to assemble. It took materials. Were they delivered to the house . What did his parents know . Maybe what did any family members know or Close Friends . And if you take a look at the journal that they discovered, it said in this according to the governor of texas, he said that he was planning on killing these individuals and then committing suicide. But he didnt go through with the suicide. That was when i heard that, certainly taken aback. I mean, it tells you there was some level of planning here. It doesnt sound like there was a lot of sophistication in that these ieds he made did not go off and were not wellmade. But whatever it is, he had some planning. He did keep his journal. I think the police, hes cooperated it seems with the police. Theyve interviewed him. Hes given them information. So we can also tell because hes appearing in court that essentially theyre pretty much done with speaking to him. So theyve learned a lot about him. They havent shared exactly what the motive is, but i think if you look at all the information that they have now gathered, its very obvious that they know exactly what was behind this. I think when we talk about warning signs, we talk about warning signs on twitter. We talk about warning signs on facebook. We talk about warning signs on family and friends, and whether or not someone called the police on him prior to today. You know, none of that right now exists. I think thats what authorities are saying why theres no warning signs. Whether or not his family knew that there was something wrong, im sure well find out that something was wrong. But they didnt probably feel that they it was at a level where they needed to go to authorities about it or the school and say we have some concerns. And also its texas. Right . Guns are guns. The shotgun, that was owned by his father, and the handgun, the. 38 all legally owned, perhaps maybe he was family knew he would shoot the gun. Nothing wrong with that. Probably pretty common in texas. I think theres a lot more digging that needs to go on here, and we need to know what the family knew. Thats going to be the big question. Getting more information. I want to go to our correspondent drew griffin who has been looking into the suspects social media postings and a whole lot more. Drew, i understand you have some new information . We are digging into his social media which has been mostly taken don. But down i want to add to the conversation in terms of early warnings and was there a warning, wolf . Compared to all the other shootings weve covered, and weve covered a bunch of them. By this time, this is many hours after the shooting, we would have information on warning flags by friends. Warning flags by police reports. Warning flags not just on social media but other places. And i think whats striking about this case as were about to show you is this suspect really was as the governor said earlier, a clean slate. Pagourtzis, 17, had scant details of his life on facebook before the page disappeared. This is what cnn confirmed. Pagourtzis says he started attending the High School Three years ago and posted pictures of himself showing what appears to be a normal nondiscrypt High School Student. On april 30th, less than a month ago, he also posted this. A custom black t shirt that says born to kill. He wears a trench coat everyday, and its 90 degrees. I talked to him a few times. Hes nice, but hes quiet. He keeps to himself. He doesnt talk to many people. Hell be Walking Around with his trench coat on and headphones in. Doesnt say anything. On the same day he posted his t shirt, he also posted a photo of this duster jacket with nazi, fascist, and religious symbols. Under a name, he posted three rap songs on youtube. Thats it. The rest typical teenager. A photo of him in a church group. Others showing an average teenage american. She showed interest in showning the marine corps. Starting in 2019 he wrote the marines have no record of him. Before high school he attended santa fe junior high where he was mentioned as a standout player on the schools jv player a few years ago. Law enforcement tells cnn at this point they have no reason to believe he was on anybodys radar, and so far theres no explanation for why he would have done this. And so far unlike past shootings, wolf, no threats to somebody was made. Nobody coming forward to say the police were at that home multiple times. We have no record of any Police Involvement at this point with him. Obviously this is a early investigation in terms of how these investigations go. But im just comparing this to other cases. Weve had a lot more information at this point showing that there were warning signs missed. There were. I want to go back to jim acosta over at the white house for us. Jim, the president spoke out, tweeted about this, but he also made a public statement. Reporter thats right, wolf. We should also point out the flag has been lowered to half staff. The flg being lowered after another mass shooting in this country, and one at a school this time down in texas. The president , as you said, he spoke to the public earlier today. He was at an event on prison reform. But at this event he vowed to have his administration do Everything Possible to prevent School Shootings in response to this massacre down in santa fe, texas. Facing another shooting on his watch the president noted the massacres are a problem that the nation has faced for decades, and heres more of what the president had to say. This has been going on too long in our country. Too many years, too many decades now. We grieve for the terrible loss of life and send our support and love to everyone affected by this absolutely horrific attack. To the students, families, teachers, and personnel at santa fe high, were with you in this tralkic hour, and we will be with you forever. My administration is determined to do everything in our power to protect our students, secure our schools and keep weapons out of hands of those who pose a threat to themselves and to others. Everyone must Work Together at every level of government to keep our children safe. And just to illustrate what a profound problem this issue of School Shootings is for this country, wolf, take a look at this. This is a list compile bid c compiled by cnn in 2018. There are 22 School Shootings in 2018. It is only may. So we are on course for something in the ballpark of 40 to 50 shootings by the end of this year if this rate continues. And there you are on screen, wolf, seeing all the School Shootings on the map of the United States that have taken place all across the country. It just really makes it sink in for you. To see how widespread a problem this is. How schools are just not being kept safe from Mass Shootings in this country. And its unclear, wolf, what the president will do in response to the School Shooting in texas. Earlier in the year he backed away from any kind of substantial gun control measures despite initially sounding supportive of those kinds of laws in the days after the massacre in parkland florida last february, that was when the president toyed with the idea of various ideas when it comes to beefing up gun control laws. The president appeared to reverse course after nra. We had a moment to pres Sarah Sanders on this issue whether or not the white house is going to revisit the issue of gun control and safety. She said the conversation is ongoing. As to how to protect schools, its unclear as to what the president is going to do at this point given his rhetoric on this issue. Keep in mind just at the nra National Conference earlier this month the president said to gun rights backers your Second Amendment rights are under siege, and they will never be under siege as long as im your president. Thats a direct quote from the president of the United States. Just a few weeks ago on the subject. Its unclear at this point what exactly he plans to do if anything on this issue. Its an issue, obviously, thats not going away as the flag being at half staff here at the white house underlines, yet again. It was very much in contrast, as you point out, jim, to after the parkland, Florida Shooting when he told bipartisan lawmakers in that meeting over at the white house dont be so scared to the nra. Reporter thats right, wolf. And you saw that meeting. We all saw the meeting. It was stunning. Lawmakers from both parties and diane feinstein, the senator from california, a strong supporter of gun control legislation. She would like to see restrictions placed on the purchase of semi automatic weapons. Assault style weapons. And the president at one point during the meeting suggested that perhaps her legislation could be folded into the manchin too mamanchi Manchin Toomey legislation that was almost passed. After that meeting happened the nra and many supporters were up in arms because they couldnt believe the president who they had contributed millions and millions of dollars to during the campaign would say such a thing, and it was in short order after that meeting with the lawmakers when the president had his own meeting with the National Rifle association that he backed away from all the measures and they havent really done much of anything since. Yep. They certainly havent. Thank you very much for that jim acosta at the white house. Were standing by for the initial Court Appearance. We have live acameras there. The 17yearold High School Student will make his first Court Appearance. Well have live coverage of that. Stick around for that. Josh campbell, walk us through. Used to work at the fbi where this investigation stands right now and where its heading . So two aspects here. Theres what Law Enforcement officers are doing right now. Interviewing witnesses and associates trying to determine did this person act alone, the motive. Theres the physical aspect where they go through the locations, the trailer that weve been seeing, where there may be evidence of criminal activity. Also the social media that Digital Space where this person may have resided and evidence may have been. Thats the investigative side going on. The second part is coming shortly. That is the initial appearance. This is the first opportunity for the subject to be brought before the court. I suspect this will be a very short hearing where the defendant will be presented formally with the charges against him as weve heard reported there are likely to be capital offenses in texas with murder murder. Hell enter a plea. It may tell us the following. Obviously in this situation where youre trying to protect life, youre trying to determine did this person act alone . Are there devices that may be a threat to the public. I can see if someone facing a capital offense, the prosecution investigators say cooperate with us. Let us determine there arent other devices out there, and we may take the Death Penalty off the table and leave life in prison. If he steps forward and pleads not, thats more likely hes going to test the sufficiency of his evidence at his trial. These are state capital murder charges hes now facing in the state of texas. It doesnt necessarily preclude the possibility of federal charges being imposed as well. It doesnt. But normally in these kinds of cases the fbi and the department of justice doesnt charge 17yearolds because theyre considered minors under the federal statute. Its usually not something they do. It has been done in cases and they would need to get permission, special permission from the attorney general to get it. Because there are ieds in this case and potentially ek ploesive material they could bring a wmd charge here. Weve seen it in terrorism cases and other charges. We dont know the motive yet. If theres a motive here that falls under a federal statute like a hate crime or some other kind of federal crime, then they can also bring charges because of that. It makes this much more difficult, because the department of justice generally does not like to bring charges against 17yearolds. Weve seen cases like this before. Terrorism cases, they usually wait until someone is 18 until they bring charges. Thats something were told thats being considered and certainly theres political motivation here as well, because the president certainly is because hes expressed, fed up with this happening. He could be putting pressure on the department of justice to try and file the federal charges here. Can i go ahead. I was going to quickly say, sorry, jessica, along with that, i think any federal charge would be largely symbolic. I know having worked investigations in the past, if youre a federal investigator, you sit with your counter parts on the state side and try to compare whos likely to get the most severe charge through the federal or state system. In the state of texas, the criminal Justice System is severe when it comes to these types of charges to include capital murder. The idea that this would go federal, i think, again, probably more largely symbolic. And theyre still searching the home, the cars for explosive devices. They are. I think if they find more explosive devices, what theyre really going to want to try to understand is what was the motive . Theres a difference between someone who does this because they were sworn from a relationship versus someone with an ideological bet. That will play a major role in how the case moves forward. The warrant to kill t shirt, the full coat with all sorts of nazi and communist paraphernalia and other disturbing signals. And whats interesting is they say theres no criminal record here. There were no maybe clear warning signs. If you notice when the postings were from, these postings were on april 30th th. A matter of weeks ago. So was there something within the past few weeks that may have triggered this mass shooting . There werent warning signs before, maybe there were in the past few weeks and they were missed. There are different kinds of warning signs. There are mental interest and psychological issues and also related to behavior. Thats one of the reasons we have to be careful about calling this a Mental Health issue. He may not have exhibited any psychology issues that indicated he was about to do this, but we can look at his behavior. What was he buying . What was he collecting . Thats also a behavior that would have given us warning signs. The trailer we reported they were doing explosive devices. He had to be spending some time in there and his family, were they in there . Did they know what was going on in there . Those are good questions. Were also learning the fbi in houston is saying that they expect this area to be closed around the school and around his home and the surrounding areas for some time because its a crime scene. Weve talked about this. The fbi is helping, assisting and processing this crime scene as well as the atf. And also given the just the number of deaths here. You have to imagine what the inside of the school must look like, and also this idea there may be other bombs. We havent heard an update on officials. Its understandable this area will be closed for some time, and we should see these fbi agents and atf agents there are crime scene technicians from the fbi and the atf that come into the scenes and help and assist the local authorities, and the explosive materials, we should also note, that some of that evidence is being processed by the fbi. This is going to go on for some time. It is. Everybody stick around. Were waiting for the shooting suspects first Court Appearance. We got a live camera inside the courtroom. There you see live cameras. Hell be making a statement. The judge will be making a statement as well. Well see what happens. Were getting more on this investigation. Well be right back.
