Transcripts For CNNW The Situation Room 20120806

the shooter who brought death and horror to a sikh temple in wisconsin was a u.s. army veteran discharged more than a decade ago for misconduct. authorities say the gunman may have had ties to white supremacists, and neighbors say he played in a far right wing punk band. we're learning more about how the shocking rampage left six victims and the gunman dead. brian todd is joining us from oak creek, wisconsin, right outside milwaukee. brian, what's the very latest? >> reporter: wolf, we have important new information. we have names of those who played pivotal rolls in the event and new details on the shooter's past at the temple. >> she can't escape it. an indelible moment of horror. she says she was among the first to see the shooter as he started his ram pain at the sikh temple of wisconsin. she says she was parking her car when she saw the suspect. now identified as wade michael page, approach the lead priest near the entrance. >> did he say anything to the priest? >> no, no. he was quiet. i didn't see, you know like nothing. he took two steps in front of the children. he was going this way. i thought maybe they were talking. they did not talk. >> the priest fell and was dead. the police chief says they got the call at 10:20 a.m. local time. the first officer to arrive, now identified as lieutenant brian murphy was right in the shooter's path. >> how many times was he shot, and was it close range? >> it was very close range. he was standing down in a crouched position. and the individual walked up on him around the vehicle. and engaged him very closely. inches to a feet, and fired at him. he shot between eight and nine times. >> other officers responded, gave commands to the shooter. he ignored them, chief john edwards said, and was taken down with a police rifle. when officers tried to tend to their wounded colleague. >> he waved them off. he had been shot nine times. one very serious in the neck area, and he waved them off and told them to go into the temple to assist those in there. >> the wounded officer was carried off. a rescue operation began for the other victims. officials now say they're looking for this man who showed up after the shooting. they call him a person of interest. >> he's an individual who showed up at the scene after the shooting and was just on and and someone mentioning him to another officer. seeing him look suspicious. and so we're looking to question him. >> officials stress they believe the gunman acted alone and just wanted to talk to this other man. she needs help from her husband to reflect. >> what are your feelings just looking back on this and what you saw? it's really bad. i kon sleep. i couldn't sleep. it's a nightmare. >> as witnesses and victims deal with all this, our sources and police are giving us a mosaic of the suspect. they say wade michael page discharged from the army 14 years ago after a pattern of misconduct, may have been a white supremacist. they are still trying to put together what may have been the motive for inflicting this carnage. >> did wade michael paige have a criminal record? any prior convictions? >> we are told, wolf, he had some kind of record. as far as convictions, officials are not going there yet. they're not giving details on his contact with law enforcement. he was known to law enforcement. did have contact with law enforcement at some point. the police chief here told me law enforcement officials in this area had not had contact with him. they will really not give much more detail than that. we're led to believe he encountered law enforcement at some poi in another region of the country. >> brian todd is on the scene for us. let's check back with you. let's get more on the record of the background of the gunman who served in the u.s. military more than a decade ago and left under a cloud. chris lawrence has been looking into this part of the story for us. all right, chris. anything stand out in his military record? >> there are a couple of things, wolf, that i think the viewers will find interesting. especially as you get beyond the basics. that he got into the army around 1992 and served for about six and a half years. he was a psychological operations specialist. now that has some very classified, secretive overtones and aspects to it. but we believe that he was involved with was the basic stuff. you know, dropping leaflets in foreign countries. getting the u.s. message across. he was demoted from sergeant down to specialist and eventually given a general discharge under honorable condition. t a dishonorable discharge. like the military coming to you and saying, this isn't working out for you or us. no agreement to warrant a dishonorable discharge, wolf. >> was he ever deployed to combat? i know he served before 9/11. >> no. we checked into that as well. he served on three bases across the united states, including ft. bragg. got some basic medals. they're the ki of medals, that, you know, you show up, you do your job and receive the medals. nothing out of the ordinary. one of the men who went to school with him and served with him at ft. bragg said he did have a drinking issue. that's what got him busted down in rank and eventually led to him leaving the army. this man also says he would talk about the racial holy war and things like that. from being in the navy, people say a lot of inappropriate things, a lot of sexist things. one person said, look, especially back in the mid 90s, someone just saying this but never acting on it no overt problems with it, it's not something that's going to rise to a level where you're going to see real problems. >> chris lawrence, thank you. president obama spoke out about the wisconsin shooting rampage today, noting it's the late nest a series of violent tragedies to strike the nation. listen to this. >> first of all, we're still awaiting the outcome of a full investigation. yesterday i had the chance to speak to both the governor and the mayor as well as leaders of the sikh community. all of us are heartbroken by what's happened. myself and michelle, but also the country as a whole. i think all of us recognize that these kinds of terrible tragic events are happening with too much regularity. we need examine additional ways to reduce violence. as i've already said. we're going to bring together law enforcement, community leaders, elected officials at every level to see how we can make continued progress. >> certainly one of the world's most popular religions. but many americans are very unfamiliar with the tightly knit community in the united states. let's bring in the coed tor of cnn's very popular blog. tell us a little bit about the sikh case. what's going on with this religion? about 700,000 sikhs in the united states. 25 million worldwide. >> that's right, wolf. that makes it the fifth most popular religion in the world. they believe in one god. real important stressors in the faith are on equality and service. some of the key tenants are meditation on god, service of work and serving the community. the women in the temple were getting ready for a big community meal, which is a big part of the faith. >> and anyone with come and get a delicious meal in the process. >> as long as you're dressed moderately and ready to eej a vegetarian meal, you're more than welcome to come. there's stress that their temples are going to be open on sunday. they want everyone to participate in their service and community meals with them. >> since 9/11 there have been a lot of attacks against the sikh community and their temples across the country. what's going on? >> a lot of that comes from public displays of faith. men and women let their hair grow long. they never cut it. the men, in particular, wrap their hair in turbins. so when people went out trying to commit a hate crime against muslims, we found sikhs were the ones attacked in the united states. many muslim men here in the united states don't wear them. it's not fashionable. for sikhs it's not about fashion, it's about faith. >> how are reactions worldwide? >> we're hearing a huge outpouring. look on this weekend, this sunday, a lot of faith communities are opening the doors saying come in, share the meal with us, learn about us. and they're a big part of the american fabric here. >> we've seen intensified security in place like new york. dan simon was reporting earlier. down on the bay, at silicon valley, they're not locking the doors at the temple. it's a big part of who they are. they're open to everyone. >> seek others -- what is the correct way of pronouncing the religion? in india it's one way. in europe it's another way. >> the word comes from india. in the united states they told me they prefer "sick." sikh works as well. >> coming up later, i'll speak with the mayor of the community that lost these individuals. he'll be joining us live. we'll get the latest on what's going on. also, other news we're following, including a list of republican convention speakers is growing, and it may offer us new clues as to who is and who isn't on mitt romney's short list of potential running mates. and stunning details of how mass gunmen slaughtered egyptian troops and then set their sights on israel. we're going live to jerusalem. and a perfect landing on mars by na nasa's road runner. this is new york state. we built the first railway, the first trade route to the west, the greatest empires. then, some said, we lost our edge. well today, there's a new new york state. one that's working to attract businesses and create jobs. a place where innovation meets determination... and businesses lead the world. the new new york works for business. find out how it can work for yours at thenewny.com. who dreamed she could fly. like others who braved the sky before her, it took a mighty machine, and plain old ingenuity to go where no fifth grader had gone before. ♪ and she flew and she flew, into the sky and beyond. my name is annie and i'm the girl who dreamed she could fly. powered by intel core processors. ♪ oh, just diagramming this accident with my state farm pocket agent app. you can also get a quote and pay your premium with this thing. i thought state farm didn't have all those apps?

>> the shootings that killed six at a sikh temple in washington come just over two weeks after the massacre in aurora, colorado, in a movie theater. and once again it's sure to revive the debate over gun control. it seems every time something like this happens, there's a great human cry for stricter gun laws that goes up, and then it dies down just as quickly. coincidentally before yesterday's violence a group of mayors released an ad that demanded president obama and mitt romney give us a plan when it comes to gun control. that won't happen. the ad features three survivors for the 2011 tucson, arizona, shootings that killed six and wounted 13, including former congressman gabriel give fords. the issue of guns is a political hot potato that no political politician, democrat or republican wants to go near, especially in an election year. and there's a reason. a lot of americans like things just the way they are. in the aftermath of last month's colorado shootings, background checks for people wanting to buy guns spiked more than 40% in that state. and the pew research poll taken a week after the colorado shootings found very little change in americans' attitude toward gun control. other recent major deadly shootings including the one in tucson last year and virginia tech in 2007 had little affect on gun law control. two-thirds of those polled say the shootings like the one in colorado or at the sikh temple are isolated acts of troubled individuals. only one-fourth say shootings reflect broader problems in american society. so here's the question. what is it going to take for gun control laws in the country to change. go to cnn.com/cafferty file and post a comment on my blog. or go to our post on "the situation room's" facebook page. wolf? >> thanks, jack. we'll have more on this story coming up later, including a live interview with the mayor of oak creek. he'll join us with the latest on what's going on in oak creek, wisconsin. other news we're following, including political news. mitt romney is spending a quiet day in new hampshire. we've seen him do a little grocery shopping. we're also getting a clearer picture of who may be on his list for running mate. who is speaking at the republican convention. plus, ohio governor john kaskich. also including john mccain, condoleezza rice, nikki haley and susana martinez. can we presume the people we just mention rd not on romney's short list, or is that going too far? >> it's going a bit too far. but the people inside the campaign say it's a safe bet. the financial decision will be made by governor romney himself. he's at his home in new hampshire. we're told mostly down time. but several senior staff members are up there this afternoon. most top campaign insiders say they haven't heard the choice from the governor yet. he told gloria borger, i don't have anything for you on that. they expect he has posted the final decision and they believe none of the people you just mentioned will be that choice. who do they say it will be? most of the information we're getting from senior advisers are piecing together pieces of information as well. they say, here's the short list as they see it. they say the former minnesota governor, tim pawlenty, someone governor romney is comfortable with, someone who is a candidate in the republican field, he is on the list. the ohio senator is on the list as well. he served in the house before the senate and was a trade respective and budget director. he is also on the list. and you're hearing increasingly pushes from the outside but also being considered from the inside, the wisconsin congressman, the house budget committee chairman, paul ryan. that's the shortest of the short list, if you will, wolf. we talked to people close to the process. the florida senator marco rubio still comes up from time to time. we'll hear this from governor romney himself over the next several days. most people think it will come from that pennsylvania len awle ryan list. >> the two other names people keep talking about, bobby jindal, the louisiana governor, he's supposedly on the short list also. also the senator from south dakota supposedly on the short list. are they on the real short list, or not so sht? >> it depends who you talk to inside. there's no question they were on a list at some point. governor romney is talking mostly to beth meyers. she's the head of the process. people inside say those two know everything. other people pick up pieces of information through the vetting process. they're not willing to rule anybody out. even the people we say have begun speaking roles. they seem to think it's largely a pawlenty, portman, ryan contest. inside the campaign they tend to list them in that order. there are some disagreements. we have to wait and see. >> yeah. we know the conservative magazine, they basically endorsed marco rubio and paul ryan. we'll see how influential they are. they had an important role four years ago in helping select sarah palin. they endorsed her at that point. we'll see if they have that clout this time around. my own guess, john, is it could come as early as a week from today, after the olympics are all done. my own suspicion is it will be next week at some poin. obviously that's just a guess. what are you hearing? >> it's a good guess, and it's a well informed guess in the sense they make a few key points. the olympics are getting very good ratings. why would governor romney do it now? number two, he hasn't made a final decision. he wants to go through it more himself. one of his most trusted advisers happens to be his wife. she's at the olympics. she won't be back until thursday. she would like a couple days rest after the trip. because they'll have the couple's portrait. most people believe next monday, a week from today at the earliest. they say governor romney could surprise us. but inside the campaign we talk to folks with you. they say look for monday through thursday in that period next week as the most likely window. we'll be ready any day that do it. wall street is off to a good start this week. we'll have the numbers behind the optimism. also, a milestone in the quest for green energy. standby. there are a lot of warning lights and sounds vying for your attention. so we invented a warning you can feel. introducing the all-new cadillac xts. available with a patented safety alert seat. when there's danger you might not see, you're warned by a pulse in the seat. it's technology you won't find in a mercedes e-class. the all-new cadillac xts has arrived, and it's bringing the future forward. i've been fortunate to win on golf's biggest stages. but when joint pain and stiffness from psoriatic arthritis hit, even the smallest things became difficult. i finally understood what serious joint pain is like. i talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. because enbrel, etanercept, suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness.

mitt romney's presidential campaign continues to bring in more money than president obama's campaign. let's discuss what's going on in the strategy session. joining us is the republican strategist and cnn contributor mary mathelin along withic stra simmons. on the screen last month romney raised more than $100 million. $101 million precisely. the president raised $75 million. third month in a row romney has raised a lot more than the obama campaign. when you add the numbers, these are the super pacs. the pro romney and pro obama super pacs. the pro-republican super pacs. look how much they raised. if you add up the numbers. that's $114 million. the pro-obama campaign has raised so far only $17.3 million. how much of a deficit is this going to leave the obama campaign, jamal. if they get outspentd in cash, at the end of this campaign, it's going to put them in a bad spot when it comes time to communicate with the voters. the one good spot in a presidential race, media like this, cnn, all the television networks. all the newspapers, they'll have a much bigger impact than campaign advertisement. democrats have got to raise more money. >> they certainly do if they're going to compete. three months to go exactly, mary ann. look at the new ad that the obama campaign just went out going after mitt romney on the issue of women. listen to this. >> this is not the 1950s. contraception is so important to women. it's about a woman being able to make decisions. i don't remember anyone as extreme as romney. >> cut off funding to planned parenthood. >> i don't think mitt romney can understand the mindset of someone who has to go to plan parenthood. >> we're going to get rid of that. >> i think romney would definitely drag us back. >> maybe that's why in these two battleground states in florida and ohio, romney is not doing well among likely women voters in florida. 44% for romney. in ohio, 58 for obama. 37% for romney. how much of a problem is this for romney campaign and women. . >> those polls are outliers, of course. >> why are those two, cbs news and "new york times" polls outl outliers? >> because the sample size over white democrats. it douz not conform with other polls. they just don't comport with any other polls. the public or private. but women are conrned about the same thing men are concerned about. only an extremist would think that mitt romney is an extreme his. that campaign ad is a lie. mitt romney does not support banning contraception. never did. women support the romney decision to repeal the obama regulation that forces the institutions to violate the articles of their faith. this is the obama spending problem. they're all going to have plenty of money to do their campaign. but they're wasting money. they're wasting it on ads like that that they've been running for months now. >> we do know that three of the three major prime time speakerses at the republican convention have already been announced. women, susanna martinez, the governor of new mexico. nikki haley, the governor of south carolina and the former secretary of state, condoleezza rice. there will be very featured women speaking at that convention. >> >> wolf, they have to do something. they're trying to find a way to appeal to women. mitt romney had a chance to stand up for women, but rush limbaugh attacked her many mons ago and he didn't stand up and say calling the woman a bad name, he didn't defend that. that spoke a lot to women. and the reality, the democrats can do better with women in the election day. he lost three points in 2004. but he was able to win. john mccain lost women by 13 points in 2008 and he lost. they have to close the gap if they want to win. >> how are they going to do that, mary? if you were going to give the romney campaign advice for going after women voters, what should they do? >> the worst thing they can do is insulting women by saying the priority is birth control. women don't think there's a birth control government in the country. they think there's a government control problem. each household has a saying under the obama economy. it's upwards of $40,000 for every household. they understand today's debt is tomorrow's taxes. they understand their kids are not going to have as bright a future as they had. that's what women care about. it's insulting to think they sit around the kitchen table talking about their reproductive rights. they do no >> the one issue here is, women just like men want to trust the candidate that they're going to vote for. they're going to look out for them when the going gets tough. with mitt romney, he has shown he's not willing to stand up for the radical parts of the party. >> the next president of the united states over the next four years will probably have at least one, maybe two supreme court nominations. roe versus wade, for example. romney says he doesn't want somebody. not just women voters, but men voters will have to consider as well. guys, thanks very much for joining us. oklahoma firefighters are getting at least part of what they've been hoping. how the weather is aiding the battle against the massive wildfires. we'll have a live report. and mission control celebrates after nasa's rover travels hundreds of millions of miles and nails down a perfect landing on mars. ñe let's get back to lisa monitoring other top stories in "the situation room." what else is going on, lisa? >> hi, wolf. it's so hot and dry across the state. the winds have died down. that gives crews better control of 18 wildfires. 68,000 acres have burned. and tropical storm ernesto is getting stronger and may be a hurricane by tonight. these storms were taken when the storm passed over the i land on thursday. they will make handfall wednesday morning as a category one hurricane. and thunderstorms brought tragedy to the nascar race at the poconos raceway in pennsylvania. a lightning strike in the parking lot killed one fan and injured nine others. the race itself lasted only 245 of the scheduled 500 miles. wolf?

benny writes there you go again, along with the second amendment. chicago, which has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation is the murder capital of the united states. gangs, med men and other criminals don't obey the laws and will always manage to get guns, and since the police can't be everywhere all the time, it's up to us citizens to protect ourselves from these murders. linda writes, wrong question. the correct question may be more achievable is how can we teach men, particularly white men over the age of 40, to deal with failure? one psychologist pointed out many mass murders are inept at dealing with failure in their lives. robert writes it won't change psychopathic behavior. we have speeding laws, people still speed. we're always trying to find something or someone else to blame instead of the perpetrator of the crime. the cities with the toughest gun control laws have the high egs violent crime rates. the old saying is true, if you make guns illegal, only the bad guys will have them. d.p. writes it starts with the nra. guns are big business, and so that's where the money and the power is coming from. the nra won't say it publicly but nra and the gun dealers have vested in this escalation. peter writes one thing that will change the laws is when, not if, a couple politician grand kids' get killed. i hope it never happens, but that's what it will take. michael writes it will take courage. if you want to read more on the subject, go to cnn.com/caffertyfile or post on "the situation room's" facebook page. i wouldn't hold my breath. >> not before the election to be sure. egyptian authorities are vowing a crackdown on jihadists. mass gunmen slaughtered egyptian troops. they then seized two military vehicles and headed to israel and a deadly encounter with israeli forces. diana joins us from jerusalem with this report. >> the remnants of two vehicles burned after israeli defense forces respond to a brazen courage on the soil. just across the border, egyptians mourn at least 16 soldiers shot dead by mass gunmen. it's not yet clear who it was that attacked this army check point and then common deloaded filled with explosives and drove across the israeli border. but egypt's president promised swift retribution. >> translator: this incident will not pass lightly. the armed forces will assume complete control over the area of sinai to secure them, and those who carried out the attack will pay a high price. >> the israeli defense forces say they had intelligence of a possible attack. and that's why israeli air power was on hand to strike and kill the five gunmen who made it through to israeli territory. >> we can assume the goal of this terroristic event was to abduct israelis or infiltrate into the community and maybe kill israelis. >> since the uprising last year, there have been numerous acts of sabotage on the pipeline that transports gas from egypt to israel. thus several attacks on israeli troops. israeli officials are increasingly concerned that al qaeda and other extremists are moving into egypt's rested sinai peninsula and that the new egyptian government isn't doing enough to stop them. >> translator: in my opinion the risk of a heavier attack was prevented. and this is important for a successful operation in the battle that occurred there. perhaps it will be a proper wake-up call to the egyptians. >> wolf, we're now hearing both from the israeli and the egyptian side that some of the masked gunmen involved in the attack did come from gaza. hamas has now shut off the tunnels between gaza and egypt. it also closed the crossing. it doesn't want to disrupt a peace agreement between the two. >> it's a very seasonsitive timn sinai themselves. and several hundred u.s. military have been in psi new york -- sinai as well. diana, thanks very much. reporting for us from jerusalem. nasa's newest mars rover keep sending back pictures. scientists say the views will keep getting better. stay with us. we'll have the very latest. in the next hour. the mayor of of the town involved in the shooting rampage. this is actually starting to feel real now.

>> that is correct. someone identified him pretty shortly after the press conference when he was confirmed to be the suspect. >> so what do you think is going on here? were there indications that the sikh temple in the community was a target for a hate attack, if in fact, that's what occurred? >> there was no prior history of anything. they have a clean record in the city. they've been a great community member, and it's really shocking that something like this has happened at the temple. >> this individual, the suspect, wade michael page, how long has he been in your community as far as the information you have gathered? >> from my understanding, he is not from oak creek. he lived for a short time in a surrounding city a few miles from here. but he had not been there long. >> do you know anything about the white supremacist rock group that he was associated with? anything along those lines? >> that will be discussed at the press conference. he may have been affiliated with some of these groups. >> the whole notion of what's going on in the community, your community, must be in a state of shock right now because all of the sudden it comes out of the blue. as far as the alleged weapon in this case. do we know if sure if he owned it legally?

>> reporter: well, very little, wolf. the man has defected from the regime. but where is he? here in aman all day there have been swirling rumors he was in jordan, coming to jordan. so everybody was on watch looking for him. he never publicly materialized. the jordanian government put out a statement saying he was not here. not yet. there was other rumors he may be headed to the persian gulf. all of this is swirling around. nothing is terribly sorted out yet. it's a bit of a mystery right now. we have seen other high profile defections. this is very dangerous. until they get out, family members get out. we've and this before. and it's what everybody will be watching for in the coming days. what is the significance of this defection? is this now fundamentally a crack in the assad regime? the u.s. certainly hopes so, wol wolf. >> and the whole issue of family members, we know if somebody does affect a person of some status, they really retaliate and go after surviving family members back in damascus or other communities in syria. this is always something that weighs heavily on the minds of those who might break with bashar al-assad. do we know if his family got out together with him, or are they stuck back in syria? >> reporter: i have to tell you, wolf, we don't know the exact answers to any of this tonight. a lot of rumors swirling around, and certainly you can draw conclusions that the uncertainty means people are watching and wait i waiting to see who surfaces, how many came out, did they all come out with family members? the point you just made is we're seeing that when we talk to syrian refugees here who come from small towns and villages. just regular people who want to get out of the war zone. they're very concerned about the relatives left behind. many of them don't want to be on tv because they worry the relatives back in syria will, in fact, be the subject of that retaliation by the regime. it's very violent and brutal. >> we've seen that time after time. if that person has relatives back in syria, the regime goes after them in rather brutal ways. barbara star is on the scene for us in aman, jordan. meanwhile, fighting is raging in the largest city in syria. senior international correspondent ben wedeman is on the ground for us in alepo. what are you seeing? >> reporter: well what we've seen in the last 10 to 15 majorities is a helicopter fire i ing. and what we have seen since we arrived 11 hours ago is a steady bombardment, whether from jets that we've seen dropping bombs on heavily populated areas that are controlled by the syrian army or tanks firing into the areas. no many of the civilians have fled the parts of the city that is controlled by the army. particularly in these areas where most of the civilians lead. today he came under sniper fire. mostly adults. some teenagers. i spoke to one man in his 70s with a briefcase and a jar of jams and sugar. he said he was leaving out of the area. he could not take the constant fighting going on there. other parts of the city control by the army. we saw one on main street where there was fighting around on bicycles. but all the while we hear the steady shots of incoming artilleries and tank rounds. and wolf, people are terrify ie. the government is prepared to crush the uprising that's been going on here now here in alepo, for several weeks. it's very tense among the civilian population. they're very much traumatized by the constant bombardment, wolf. >> ben, what's the reaction there to the latest deflection by the prime minister? do they think it's only a matter of time before the regime blasts? >> certainly people were encouraged by the news that the prime minister had reportedly defected, but they had much more immediate concerns. the fighters are confident that in terms of ammunition, they're severely outdone by the government forces. they feel they control as much as 50% of the city. i'm not sure that's totally accurate. and given they don't have anything like the firepower of the government, big government forces have decided to come in. wolf?

"the huffington post" put up on their website some proof that the accusations isn't true. that he was not the source because he was not on the hill before harry reid talked to the huffington post. that happened days before. >> if harry reid quotes an investor at bain capital, how would he know what the income rate is every year? >> i have asked that question so many times, wolf, of reid's top aids. the answer is, we're not going to tell you, but it's a source who has the ability to know, is a credible source, and has the wherewithall to have the information. >> and we know romney now said he paid a lot of taxes over all the years and no year he didn't pay any taxes. that's what romney says on the record. and mccain campaign people from 2008 when romney was being vetted as a vice presidential running mate, they say he paid taxes as well. >> mccain himself told ted barrett that he saw 20 plus years of romney's tax returns and didn't see in problems. the democrats respond if he can give john mccain his tax returns when he was being vetted to be the vice presidential running mate, why not release it to the public? >> that's another story. the sikh temple shooter suspected ties to a white supremacy movement, fuelling concerns about the dangers of extremist groups in the united states. ahead, i'll speak with someone who infiltrated some of the groups for the fbi. stay with us.

>> people inside the temple ran to hide. calls poured into 911. >> i need an ambulance. i do not see a shooter anywhere. >> the gunman basically came into the porking lot and shot people who were standing out in front, entered the temple, and opened fire. >> community members say the temple president was shot trying to tackle the gunman. a priest and six worshipers among the six dead. witnesses say the gunman went to the kitchen and may have turned up the gas before exiting. >> the gunman ran into the kitchen and tried to blow it up. >> a man with a gun in the parking lot. >> one of the first police officers to arrive was ambushed. >> the 22-year veteran was ambushed, shot multiple times. >> the officer was shot eight to nine times at very close range with a handgun. >> the shooters then taking aim at another officer who returned fire. >> we have one officer shot. >> the officer engaged the individual, and the individual is deceased. >> s.w.a.t. teams erged, carefully surrounding the building, not knowing if more victims were inside. police recovered a single handgun, belonging to the lone suspect. the wounded were taken to a local trauma center. relatives and friends, many who were on the way to pray waited for word. authorities searched the gunman's home not far from the temple, looking for evidence. looking for a motive. leaving a community wondering wh why. wolf? >> deborah fa feyerick reportin for us. let's dig deeper into the background of the alleged gunman. drew griffin is joining us. drew, the suspect was certainly no stranger to the various organizations out there that track hate groups, white se premsy grouprem supremacy groups in the united states, was he? >> not at all, wolf. he was almost a celebrity in the white hate music scene. and that's when the various groups began tracking him. 12 years ago is when he turned up on the poverty law center's radar screen take a sten to what the director describes as the kind of scene this guy has been in over the last dozen years or so. this is an incredibly violent scene. it's really a subculture of very extreme violence. you know, he existed in a world of skin head concerts, in which people are routinely beat up. sometimes killed. often merely for looking at someone's girlfriend the wrong way. we have no record, wolf, that the suspect has any kind of violent past. we know he had a dui offense back in colorado and criminal mischief back in texas. but the music scene is very important because that's where they recruit youth. they try to get them to come to the concert, like punk rock concert with the hate-filled message. it's a recruiting tool for the movement. >> and have you heard any of the lyrics, any of the words supposedly sung at the concerts by these supremacy punk groups? because this is all new to me. i didn't know they were out there. >> you know, the lyrics are based on their view of the world. they're trying to purify the white race. they're obsessed that it's getting liquidated by jews, blacks, muslims. difficult things you would think that hate-filled groups would write about. i tried to listen to this guy's band music, and it's so mumbled and loud i can't make out the lyrics. i can't find lyrics printed. this is what the suspect said in an interview in 2010 about the lyrics. he says the topics vary from logical issues, religion, and how the value -- his big album was called self destruct. their offensive. they're violent, and they preach a white supremist, movement. most of them are frustrated, wolf, because the movement doesn't go anywhere. it's just a small group of people with a very loud message of hate. >> all right, drew, thanks very much. how dangerous are the groups?

>> honestly, wolf, i just thought the same things i always think. it's unfortunate that this happens, but i know for a fact because myself and my partner worked undercover infiltrating these types of groups, i know they're out there. i try not to alarm the public too much, but it's something that needs to be taken ahold of now because more and more we see this coming out that this is happening more often and more often. he said this and we'll play it for you. listen to what he said. >> he existed in a world of skin head concerts in which people are routinely beat up, sometimes killed, often times for merely looking at someone's girlfriend the wrong way. >> is that what you saw inside the group? >> that's absolutely true. some of that and more. they have the mind set of a pit bull. in one moment they're like a mother pit bull looking her puppies and then they're off the wall doing something crazy. but they love it. they thrive on this, and most of them really feel that it's the government pushing them towards this. >> i didn't know that that there were these neo nazi punk rock groups out there designed to sort of bring in outsiders, get them involved, and get involved in these extremist groups. how important is the music part of all of this? >> the music, as you've heard from some other professionals. the music is a very creative tool and a very important tool for bringing in the youth. they bring in the kids on the outskirts of society that feel rejected by society. they're not loved at home. so they fall in with these groups, and they start to feel like they're friends. they feel like they love them. then they get the younger kids to do their bidding. they brainwash them into believing that hate is the way to go and following them is the only way to go, and that there are other races of people that are against the white people. and they have to fight for that. they call it the racial holy war. and they take this stuff serious. i've seen it. i've been in the belly of the beast. and i know how bad these guys want to cause problems to american society. because they believe that the america that they grew up in is dead, and it's not coming back. and the most violent ones will carry out acts of domestic terrorism and violence here now and in the future. >> are there warning signs out there that someone can go from being an extremist, if you will, free speech to the extreme as opposed to someone actually going out and starting to shoot people? >> well, from what i know, from experience and fact is that these people, they all have, like the lone dog, you're not going to infiltrate a lone dog, a person that operates by themselves and don't talk a lot with other people and don't share their plans. there are other groups that share their plans with three or four people, and there are signs to look out for. i know it's hard to track people because of the privacy acts and the rights that we have, but they do a lot of -- they do a lot more internet research. they do do acts of surveillance. i guarantee it this time mr. page did did surveillance on his soft target before they attacked him. they want to know the layout. they do a lot of google research, maps, google satellite or google earth is a great tool that these people use. they use the weapons law creatively to get through and get the type of weapons that they need. but ultimately, the ones who go out and actually do the act and cross the lines are ones that feel like their backs are against the wall and they have no other recourse except to go out and push their extreme beliefs on people and kill people when they deem necessary. and unfortunately that's what happened here. and there are steps that can be taken, like psychological tests for persons who want to become gun owners a stuff like that. especially ones with a past history, like in the military, we hear this guy may have had a history. that should have been checked out. as you know, we can't go pointing fingers at this point. >> and is it your aassumption that this individual may have acted alone or was part of a broader conspiracy? >> that's hard to say, but just from what i've seen and what i heard i believe he's a lone wolf. usually if there's more than one person involved, then at that point, you're most likely going to have an operative like myself or a criminal informant infiltrate your group, and they're going to prevent this from happening. so many times it goes unheard of in the media, but so many times things like this get nipped in the bud, and people go to prison for conspiracy because persons like myself, trained professionals and others are able to infiltrate these people because we get paid to go into the groups, no matter what types of groups they are, ant anti-government militias, white power groups, spanish hate groups or whatever. the more people you involve in the plan, the more chance you are going to have an operative or, you know, an infiltrater or informant in there. >> thanks very much for joining us. david infiltrated the extremist groups on behalf of the fbi and wrote a book about it entitled "undercover nazi." thank you very much. >> thank you, wolf. the everyone has goals. take the steps to reach yours, with us with real advice, for real goals. the us bank wealth management advisor can help you. every step of the way. from big steps, to little steps. since 1863 we've helped guide our clients, so they can take the steps to help grow, preserve, and pass along their wealth. so their footsteps can help the next generation find their own path. all of us serving you. us bank angry calls for gun control getting loud are in the wake of what's now the second deadly shooting massacre in less than three weeks here in the united states. the pressure is certainly on president obama to respond. cnn's white house correspondent dan lothian reports. >> faced with another tragic act of violence, this time in wisconsin, president obama is under pressure to do something. >> i think all of us recognize that these kinds of terrible tragic events are happening with too much regularity. for us not to do some soul searching and to examine additional ways that we can reduce violence. >> but he's delivered similar remarks before. most recently at the national urban league convention in new orleans in the wake of the colorado massacre. >> we should leave no stone unturned and recognize that we have no greater mission as a country than keeping our young people safe. >> reporter: stopping gun violence has been an elusive target but mayor michael bloomberg a loud voice on the issue says there's been a deafening silence from the president and his challenger mitt romney on gun control. >> the two presidential candidates cannot continue avoiding an issue that is one of the most serious threats we face as a nation and for our security. >> reporter: pressed repeatedly on the president's plans, jay carney blamed congress for not doing enough to keep some weapons out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them and repeated the president would support any new ban on assault weapons while safeguarding second amendment rights to keep and bear arms. >> the question is not one of a specific high profile incident alone, and the unfortunate reality is that while these terrible incidents get a lot of headlines, there is violence in america every day. >> reporter: but bloomberg and the group mayors against illegal guns are calling for details, not only from the president but mitt romney. >> our leaders gave us a moment of silence then. >> but they haven't given us a plan. >> reporter: the group released this new tv ad featuring survivors of the tucson shootings. >> we demand a plan. >> because 4,000 americans will be murd48,000 americans will be murdered during the next president's ad. >> have you seen this ad? >> i haven't. >> as the white house, congress and other politicians debate the issue, some argue the public's attention is focused in the wrong direction. >> my own view is, let's get tough on criminals, have tough penalties for the illegal use of weaponry or any other illegal or activity that's an assayment against another person. >> reporter: now, the president said today that he wants to bring together a group of law enforcement officials, community and faith leaders, as well as elected officials to try and figure out how progress can be made on this issue of gun violence, but unclear whether this is something that will happen in the next few weeks or months. wolf?

>> wolf, we've got a lot of important new information this hour. we've got names of some of the people who played pivotal roles in this event and new details about the shooter's path at the temple. narinda can't escape it, a moment of horror. she was among the first to see the shooter as he started his rampage at the temple at wisconsin. she says she was parking her car when she saw the suspect now identified as wade michael page approach the lead priest near the entrance. >> did he say anything to the priest? >> no, no, priest, he's quiet. i didn't see the you know, like nothing. and he just two steps in front of the shooter. he's going this way and i thought maybe they are talking but they did not talk. he just start shooting. >> the priest fell and was dead. page went inside officials say and kept shooting. the police chief says they got the initial call at 10:25g a.m. local time. the first officer to arrive now identified as lieutenant brian murphy, was right in the shooter's path. >> how many times was he shot and was it at close range? >> it was very close range. he was tending to someone down in a crouched person and the individual walked up on him around a vehicle and engaged him very closely. inches to feet, and fired at him. he was shot between eight and nine times. >> other officers then responded, gave commands to the shooter. he ignored them chief john edwards says and was taken down with a police rifle. when officers then tried to tend to their wounded colleague -- >> he waved them off. he had been shot nine times, one of them very serious in the neck area and he waved them off and told them to go into the temple to assist those in there. >> the wounded officer was carried off, a rescue operation began for the other victims. officials stress they believe for now that page acted alone. nerinda needs help from her husband to reflect. >> what are your feelings looking back on this and what you saw? >> i couldn't sleep that night. it's really bad. i take two tablets but i couldn't sleep. >> now, as witnesses and victims deal with all this, police and our sources are giving us a kind of a mosaic of the suspect. they say that wade michael page who was discharged from the army 14 years ago after a pattern of misconduct may have been a white supreme just, but at the moment they're still trying to piece together a firm motive in the immediate days and weeks before the shooting, a firm motive for why he inflicted such carnage. >> were there some warning signs in this man's past that something was potential along these lines? >> there seemed to be, wolf. in a lotering about this man that cnn has done today and yesterday, there is a fabric of this man's life that you can put together where there may have been warning signs when you see them all together. taken individually, they don't really add up. i mean, we're told he did front kind of a white supremacist type rock band at one time, that he gravitated toward the white supremacist movement, that he kind of drifted after his days in the army and had problems and that he had some problems in the army with drinking and things like that. taken together, you kind of see some of these patterns. but individually, probably very hard to put together. >> brian todd on the scene for us in wisconsin. the six people killed in the shooting are range in age from 39 to 84. a member of the sic community read the names of the victims earlier today. >> subegh singh, ran jit singh, satwant kaleka, 62 years old, male. parkash singh, 49 years old, parmjit kaur, 41 years old, female. subegh something, 4 years old, male. >> four other people were wounded in the shooting, three remain hospitalized in critical condition, including the injured police officer brian murphy. one survivor tells of being trapped for hours not knowing if she or other family members would make it out alive. her father-in-law did not. cnn's poppy harlow is in oak creek, wisconsin, she's joining us now. what a sad story all around. tell us what you've seen. >> just a harrowing story coming out from all of the victims here and their families in oak creek, wisconsin, wolf. imagine being in your place of worship, what the sikhs here tell me they feel is the safest place on earth and then hearing incessant shooting, being trapped in a pantry for hours. that is the reality of many of the women that were at that much sikh temple. also the eldest victim, subegh singh, 84 years old. his faith we're told was unwavering. he spent every single day at this temple. and he lost his life there. his family spent the day with us. >> hours of horror in the most sacred of places. >> the shooting, large shooting, shooting, shooting, no stop. >> his wife and his father subegh singh were inside their house of worship when the shooting began. >> what was going through your mind?

what's behind all of this? why are sikhs targeted so often in the united states? >> thank you, wolf. i think the primary reason is than common americans who don't know about sikhs look at an image of somebody you know, when he you see photographs of muqtada al sadr or somebody else from afghanistan and you see the turban and the beard and the immediate association is somebody who might be living down the street or maybe a doctor in this neighborhood and they think it's the same person. it's primarily rooted in ignorance. just associating the physical appearance wherever sikh americans. >> is it that simple, jonah? you've studied this closely as well. >> i have both as and throw policies and policy analyst. it unfortunately is. this is heartbreaking as the president rightly says because this is so often terrorism by mistaken identity. >> so have sikh temples across the country and there are 700,000 american sikhs, have they increased security as a result of what happened in wisconsin? >> they are. i have talked with several local congregations. after 9/11, self of them installed surveillance in the guawara. the faith is very welcoming. we do not discriminate or prevent anybody from any particular background or racial ethnic background to come into a guawara. so it is very hard for the community to struggle when somebody just walks innen an starts shooting discriminately. >> let's play you another bit of sound from president obama, something else that he said today in talking about how to prevent future attacks like this. listen here. >> i think there are a lot of elements involved in it, and what i want to do is to bring together law enforcement community leaders, faith leaders, elected officials at every level to see how we can make continued progress. >> jonah, do you think there is enough coordination, cooperation, communication kind of top down, federal, state, local, even religious down to the like religious leaders' level to prevent hate crimes like this post 9/11, specifically speaking about hate crimes? it's amazing it still happens. >> it is amazing. as long as there is hate, there will be hate crimes. authorities the federal, local level have gotten a lot better. there's much better coordination, but there will never be enough coordination to prevent terrible tragedies like this from happening. >> one of the people who was killed in this incident in wisconsin was the president of the temple. and cnn spoke to the nephew. i want to play this little clip. >> okay. >> i usually don't wear this turban, but i wanted after yesterday i really felt the feed to wear it today to educate people that we're not terrorists. we're people who are loving and we care about others and we're humans just like everyone else. these acts of ignorance need to be stopped in some way, shape or form. >> i was really move when i heard that on cnn earlier in the day, this individual, doesn't normally wear a turban. i assume you always wear it. >> i always wear it. >> he decided in solidarity to do so. are you seeing that more and more as a result of what has happened? >> i'm definitely seeing more of that. and i think a lot of people realize that you know, you have to stand up for what you believe in. and rather than trying to escape from the spotlight, it's better to stand up, let people know and create awareness who you are and what your beliefs are. that's the best form of education. that in the long run is the best way to ensure safety of the sikh community in this zplunt when you talk about education, it's amazing that seems to be kind of the one solution out there is better education about what, who, people are, what their beliefs are. what more should be done? is it simply down to the level of educating people know? what do you think from a policy standpoint? >> i think education is always a great thing. i personally have been educated about sikhism but going to guawara'ses in japan and right here in the united states. i've never been in a guawara in a sikh temple where i have not been welcomed from the depth of people's heart. anyone who sets foot in the sikh temple would feel the same way. >> it's shocking when you think about the security precautions that presumably have to be implemented not only in sikh temples but other houses of worship around the country. obviously, muslim houses of worship, but if these white supremacists they not only hate you, but they hate jews, they hate african-americans, a lot of people out there. >> that's true. that's the unfortunate part. when i think about this incident, i think it has twos really very troubling elements. one is the fact that the gentleman was an army veteran and indiscriminately attacked of sikh men wearing turbans. the second is that attack was at a place of worship, the last thing that anybody in america, you know, kind of thinks is unsafe. and needs some special security or protection. so an attack on a sacred guawara is an attack on all places of worship in this country. we are seeing overwhelming support with other americans who are calling this an acontroversy tragic attack on people of faith across the country. >> i wanted to get your thoughts even, we should have probably off the top, when we first see -- these are some of the first images we're seeing of the alleged shooter, mr. page, and standing in front of a nazi flag, what is your reaction? i'm sure it's appalling to anyone who sees it, but then when you think of the tragedy that he allegedly brought upon the sikh community, what is your reaction? what do you think when you see those pictures? >> i have been familiar and have been looking at hate groups and supremacist groups. i know they specifically target minorities, people from several diverse ethnic backgrounds. so i'm not surprised. but at the same time, i can tell you, this is something that most viewers may not know, sikhs fought with the allies in world war ii and world war i against the nazis. several sikhs from india died in several theaters of war in world war ii. you can find graves of sikhs in france and germany and italy. and even because there were so many eek soldiers, they couldn't be sent back to their home. so they were buried. the british victoria cross, which is their highest medal of valor, the largest recipients were sikhs as par of the allied army. so for us, it's more troubling than we're being targeted. but we believe in freedom and in justice. i think as a community, we are standing in solidarity with all those american who's believe in the same concept. >> manjit, good luck to you and all the sikhs, 700,000 around the country. good luck to all of our country. jonah, thanks to you, as well. we'll stay on top of this story. also other news we're following, weeks after bill clinton visited nelson mandella, it's hillary clinton's turn now to meet the former south african president. we'll have details. and we'll also have the first pictures from mars after that dramatic landing of nasa's rover. stay with us. you're in "the situation room" . in here, opportunities are created and protected. gonna need more wool! demand is instantly recognized and securely acted on across the company. around the world. turning a new trend, into a global phenomenon. it's the at&t network -- securing a world of new opportunities. ♪ kate has a check of what's going on at the white house and beyond. >> first go to the white house if we could. president obama today signed a veterans fairs bill that's notable for its new restrictions on protests at military funerals. listen to this. >> the graves of our veterans are hallowed ground. and obviously, we a defend our constitution and the first amendment and free speech. but we also believe that when men and women die in the service of their country and are laid to rest, it should be done with the utmost honor. >> the new law says protesters must be at least 300 feet from military funerals from two hours before the services begin until two hours after they end. and secretary of state hillary clinton is in south africa. today she stops at nelson mandela's home village for a private meeting with the former president and also meeting with south africa's current leaders. she is always traveling. and finally, actress and activist marlo thomas was in washington today for a department of education summit on the prevention of bullying. is c-span reports her speech called on schools to enact a zero tolerance policy where students who bully others could be expelled. the issue of bullying is has become a big issue. >> as it should be. >> erin burnett is in oak creek, wisconsin, tonight going out front of the temple massacre. erin, tell us what you're hearing from witnesses. >> reporter: you know, it's been a pretty shocking day. you can see how traumatized people are. .tight knit community. we went by one of the families of the priest who died. and there were three families all there the entire street covered in cars. all those people were mourning and spending time together today. and they really just to a tee could not believe that religion could cause the sort of a thing. it was more shock and grief rather than anger, at least that we saw today. also spent some time at the hospital where the three victims fighting for their lives right now are in critical care and some stunning things to say from the trauma surgeon about how often this number of people come through the hospital. a pretty shocking thing when we start to think about gun control and murder by gun violence in this country. we'll also speak to a witness who was there and consoling two of the children when their father was killed in front of his and their eyes at the temple. that's coming up at the top of the hour. back to you. >> we'll look forward to it. thanks very much. in 15 minutes or so. other news we're following from mars, the latest on the new rover curiosity. plus the latest olympic results. this is your pospoiler alert. our abundant natural gas is already saving us money, producing cleaner electricity, putting us to work here in america and supporting wind and solar. though all energy development comes with some risk, we're committed to safely and responsibly producing natural gas. it's not a dream. america's natural gas... putting us in control of our energy future, now. you know what's exciting?
