Shooting. President trump our entire nation with one heavy heart is praying for the victims and their families. To every parent, teacher and child who is hurting so badly were here for you, whatever you need, whatever we can do, to ease your pain. Were all joined together as one american family. Harris heres more from parkland, florida, with the latest. Steve . Harris, the First Court Appearance of the suspected shooter takes place in just about an hours time. Right now he stands accused of 17 counts of premeditated murder. Those numbers could change. There are still at least five people in hospital in critical condition. Were learning more about the suspect as well, especially from his social media profile. Some images that local Law Enforcement agents describe as extremely disturbing. A number of pictures of the 19yearold orphan with guns and knives. Cruz lived for the past three months with a family since the death of his mother. Hes an orphan. Also, at a home in lantana 35 miles away from here, there was some bombmaking materials taken from that house overnight but no details about a possible connection but it should show a level of preparation that went behind the massacre. As far as the crime scene itself its still an active investigation inside that school. There are still bodies inside the school as of the middle of the day. Investigators are working as quickly as they can. They are saying they will do everything right but they are trying to get that done as quickly as possible. All family members have been notified. Some relatives of family members, some relatives of the victims, have posted on social media letting people know about their losses and the word you hear over and over again is broken. Its not just those killed in this tragedy but also those survivors. Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, who are also deeply hurt. The president made remarks earlier today. He said this was purely an act of evil. He said hell visit lets talk with the survivor. Toll us what you saw and heard. I actually thought it was a fire drill. I went outside, i heard some gunshots, but i didnt think anything of it. I didnt think anything, you know, what actually happened. In my school. I saw everyone running and spinning harris did you know what those sounds were at first. We know they were gunshots now but explain what was going through your head as you first heard them. Youve got to figure stuff out, i would imagine. Yeah. At first, i heard noises and i didnt think anything of it. I thought it was loud garbage trucks or something. Something like that. But once i heard machinelike sounds outside, i just knew this was actually happening. Harris when you heard rapid fire. What were the students around you saying. Were you trying to be quiet, dreaming what was happening . When i was outside, you know, evacuating for the supposed car drill, i didnt hear any words. I heard screaming and running but once we were in the closet itself, everyone around me was frantically trying to text their family, call their family. A girl next to me was trying to contact her dad. Like everyone was trying to let everyone know they were safe. Harris were there teachers or someone ushering you in . Yeah, when i was outside, i never returned to the actual classroom i was in before. There was a Teacher Holding the door open like screaming at us to come inside. We found the closet and collected in there. As much as possible. Harris i can only imagine what was going through your mind at that point. Ive wondered about this all day, how some of you have the presence now to be so strong, so proud of what were seeing as adults across the nation. Im wondering also if you knew this nikolas cruz. A lot of students are talking about him today. Yeah. I had known him from westwood hills. I had seen him around before. I mean, i have known him from a distance, but i didnt know him personally but once i was in the room, there was a girl next to me talking about how she knew him personally. He seemed a bit strange. The Instagram Post that had been revealed. Guns and stuff like that. I found out there but i didnt know much about him before. Harris wow were watching pictures now and we also have up life on our screen, lauren, waiting for the latest details to come out. One of the things that the sheriff shared at the last update were the names of the people who have perished. Did you know any of those students and whats the talk about shoring each other up in the loss of classmates . I knew some of the classmates. I knew some of the people who died. Some of my friends were injured but i didnt know any of them that personally, but right now, there are events being scheduled. There is one at 6 00 p. M. By the city, a candlelight vigil. One at 2 35, at the time this happened yesterday, by the students. Were all coming together. I know in the morning there was counseling. Harris are you in a position now to take some of those resources and to utilize them . Are you open to that . Yeah, yeah. Ill be, you know, attending those tonight and talking to people. Everyone is talking about it. Everyone is trying to come together, talking to each other. Harris what do you want, lauren, people to know when they hear about the story or they watch these pictures and video unfold on the screen . Well, not only do i want them i mean, not experience the terror that we saw, but America Needs to wake up and see this for what it really is, and we cant continue to just go on with our lives, a couple of days later, after all of this has unfolded, and wait until the next event has happened, which, i mean i never want this to happen ever again, but i know eventually it will. Nothing has changed in our country. We need more reform, more uproar. Harris warren snow, god bless you. Glad youre okay and our best to your classmates as well. Thank you for joining us. Thank you so much. Harris lets bring in some expertise on the matter of what we know. Former new york Homeland Security director. Michael, whenever we get together its never a good occasion but i lean on new times like this because i know you can make sense of some of the things were learning. Did you hear that young girl say, first, they had known of him since middle school. One of her friends seemed strange, that they had seen the pictures and video of the dead animal carcasses and the things he had been killing . I got a chance to look at it yesterday. Harris youve seen two . I have seen two when it was first brought up. The Instagram Posts, just for someone who doesnt know the individual at all, is very disturbing. But it was typical of the profile, of someone who is obviously very aggressive and somewhat disturbed, if not completely disturbed. Harris are there too many things on that profile for you to tick down four that are always there . Usually some military garb. He had a picture harris i mean in him . He had guns displayed. Things like that. Harris okay. The images he chose to forecast, this fog, basically, disassembled. Animal cruelty. Weapons. The semi military garb that he would wear. Those are indicators of folks who are outside the norm and looking, in fact, to make name for themselves in this way. But do they become killers . Thats the hardest question for everybody out there. Because there is so much stuff that people put on instagram and facebook accounts, and if you take it take it out of context you sit there and way, wow, weve got to go get this person. But it evaporates into nothing and nothing ever happens. Its when we have this tragedy, that everyone sits back and says what were the signs . What were the clues . How could we have stopped this . Harris not to be flip here because i grew up as a military brat, there is a lot of camo. I wear it all the time. So youre saying all of these things have to be present. Is there anything personalitywise, we have to talk about Mental Health in this country and not talk about it like i stubbed my toe. Its more serious than that and also take the stigma down. From your perspective forensically, youre able to look at things as an investigator differently than what i would. What do we need to know about Mental Health in this country . Is there a profile . If you take a look at what the f. B. I. Has done with profiling over the years, that science has come in and out of favor. I have personal experts who in long island, they found several skeletal remains and they said lets bring in the fbi profiling team, and they said, no, we dont want them here. We dont trust that science, back and forth, and they didnt bring them in. Developing a profile, its not a perfect science. At the same time, its all about the people who knew him. And, you know, but beforehand its very hard. Harris were waiting for there to be another one at the sheriffs department, the sheriff promised this earlier, which we havent seen yet. Tell me, first of all, the importance of that, and then i want to ask you about what were asking him. Youve heard that it was during an open period of the day, it wasnt at the beginning when everyone was coming in off of buses or however they got to school. It wasnt in the middle of the day where perhaps a student roaming around would have been noticed more. This is an individual who had inside information. He had gone into the school. He knew the type tables, he was obviously able to get into the school with a weapon. However he camouflaged that. In a bag. The question is, when did he decide to pull the fire alarm . We dont know that he did. I can tell you some of the teachers that ive seen, administrative leaders in the school have said that he had smoke grenade with him and that may have also additionally caused those smoke alarms to go off. I dont know that we necessarily have that, as certain as we did before these people started talking. Survivors. Thats important for a lot of Emergency Response professionals who sit there now and say, wait a minute. If an alarm was pulled. However it was now you get people flooding in that goes counter to all the training weve done. When you go out youre supposed to do the fire drill. Youre utilizing our training and technology against our kids. Diabolical. For almost 24 hours, not quite, maybe 20 hours they have had him investigators have different styles. Ive gotten a chance to talk to an investigator for the new york state police, this one guy told me, he was a great guy, he tells me about his style. His style is to not so much befriend but let him talk. The thing you want the suspect to do is talk. And they can obviously call for an attorney at any time but oftentimes what happens is, when there is such an emotionally charged event like this, they are going to want to say something, particularly if they want to make a name for themselves and you go through, so tell us who you knew, tell us who youre talking to. Why did you do this is the biggest question they are asking. Michael, thank you for being here. We appreciate it as we await that news conference. Its interesting to get your perspective and experience. So an update is coming up from the Broward County sheriff and the shooting suspects First Court Appearance as well. What can we expect when he appears before the judge and the case Going Forward . Florida attorney general pam is with me next. Stay close. Please, please, let me in. You heard across the hall, thats all you heard. Youre not allowed to open the door. But all you heard was gunshots. I think that was the one they dragged down the stairs. I think he passed away. You might take something for your heart. Or joints. But do you take something for your brain. With an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brainhealth supplement in drug stores nationwide. Prevagen. The name to remember. Thats it girl get it, woo, yeah mom my games over. Parents arent perfect, but then they make us Kraft Mac Cheese and everythings good again. I thought i was managing my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. But i realized something was missing. Me. The thought of my symptoms returning was keeping me from being there for the people and things i love most. So, i talked to my doctor and learned humira can help get, and keep,uc under control when other medications havent worked well enough. And it helps people achieve control that lasts so you could experience few or no symptoms. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible. Harris fox news alert. Nikolas cruz is expected to make his appearance soon. Potentially the number dead could grow. Were also awaiting an update from the Broward County sheriff. We understand that the president spoke right after the tragedy yesterday and youve been in constant contact. Yes, harris, how are you . I spoke to President Trump last evening at length and he deeply, deeply cares about the victims. When you hear something about kids with the president , he so deeply cares about the victims. Thats what he asked about constantly last night what can he do. Good man and he cares so much an ill be talking to him later again today harris i start there because sometimes the president may make a request, and the accused is about to go into court. What should we expect when that happens . Well, you know, i cant talk about the particulars about the case but as a general prosecutor hell go before the judge. Im certain hell be given no bond, with 17 deaths. And then the state down here will have 45 days to determine whether they will seek the Death Penalty or not and when doing that you determine the aggravators and the mitigators. Im certain they will be seeking the Death Penalty in this case. No doubt. Harris lets talk more generally then. What has to be present in order to seek the Death Penalty . We know the number of victims. Ive read that much. What else . Well, premeditation. You know, cold, calculated premeditated heinous cruel. Many factors go into it. But again, you have to look at the mitagators and aggravators. Im certain with 17 dead children and him walk handbag a school with these firearms, they will be seeking the Death Penalty. Harris were talking a lot about Mental Health. Over the years, at times when ive interviewed you, its come up. We had the pulse shooting in orlando and its something that continues to come up. I know you have strong thoughts about this. So please share them. Gosh. Harris, thank you for saying that. Among the president im on the president s Opioid Commission i was extremely vocal about that as well. We have to have Better Health treatment in our country. Its unbelievable, and thats from my experience being a prosecutor since i was in my early 20s. I personally had a stalker for four years and the guy would get committed to the state alcohol, given his drugs, let out and he would be right back in. There was this recovering door. We do not have sufficient Mental Health in our country and weve got to fund it and weve got to do everything we can for Mental Health. Today, im here focused on helping these victims and these families. Im going to the hospital as soon as i leave here to talk to the family of one of the young people there in surgery as we speak, but its really horrific and our hearts go out. In the midst of so much bad and evilness, and this monster in our world, were seeing a lot of good. Go fund me has really come forward and they are doing a great job vetting these sites. I just hung up on my way here with someone who once to donate all the plots for the burials for these families. My advocates are here Offering Services for funeral expenses, and hopefully, the f. B. I. Counselors are amazing as well. Were working as a team down here to help these families and the living victims and all the students who werent physically injured but were emotionally traumatized. Harris yeah. We had a young woman on who is a junior at the high school, lauren snow, and the composure of these young people is truly amazing but she talked about taking advantage or taking part in some of the resources that they are offering and you want to hear that because its set up for those young ones to move on. Attorney general pam, it was interesting to get your perspective on the Mental Health component. We need to take the stick out out of discussing it and moving on. I appreciate your time and perspective and we pray for those families. Thank you. Thank you, harris. Keep praying for them. Thank you. Harris absolutely. The massacre in parkland sparking a debate on capitol hill about gun control and Mental Illness. Raising questions of whether the tragedy has become too political too quickly. Plus at least 15 people hurt in yesterdays shooting. Well get an update, the human toll on their recovery. All of this as we await the First Court Appearance of that accused shooter. You heard attorney general pam. She sees some of elements there. We could be looking at the Death Penalty. She wouldnt say strongly about which ones in this particular case.

The nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, fever, best sleep with a cold, medicine. Were waiting for the First Court Appearance of nikolas cruz in the School Shooting that left 17 dead. Now an update, some in critical condition. Heres more from Broward Health north hospital. Ed . Harris, good to see you. This is one of two hospitals where many of these victims were brought in the initial moments in the chaos of the horror of that high school, nine patients, including the shooter himself, nikolas cruz, released shortly thereafter into police custody. Two victims actually died at this hospital behind me. Right now, there are currently three victims still here at this hospital. One of them has been upgraded. They are dealing with physical therapy right now. Still not out of the woods, but working with physical therapy. Two others still here in critical condition. One of them with trauma to the chest. Hospital officials told us a short time ago they hope to give us some time with the doctors, who have been atthebedside working through night to try and help these victims. In the meantime, the Broward County sheriff a short time ago talked about the painstaking process of dealing not just with the victims who are still alive but also the painful process of notifying families of the 17 who died. All the families have been notified. Our detectives worked through the night on this very daunting and challenging task, but it had to be done. It was the right thing to do and they worked tirelessly. This community is hurting right now. As for nikolas cruz, Sheriffs Office released this mug shot of the 19yearold orphan, a former student at majory Stoneman Douglas high school. Booked on 17 counts of premeditated murder. He was transferred to the county jail this morning as well. Initial reports suggesting that he may be talking to investigators. We expect, as youve been noting, that as early as the top of the hour, he could be in Broward County court for the first time answering for these charges, harris. Harris ed henry, thank you very much. The gun control debate heated up on capitol hill almost immediately after that devastating attack at the florida high school. Chris murphy immediately pointed the finger at congress but g. O. P. Senator marco rubio, which we showed you live last hour, said not so fast. It only happens here not because of coincidence, not because of bad luck, but as a consequence of our inaction. Were responsible. I think its important to know all of that before you jump to conclusions that there is some law that could have been passed to prevent it. It may be but shouldnt we at least know the facts . Harris commissioner Michael Udine joins me by phone. Commissioner, thank you for being with us. Thank you for reaching out. Im happy to be here on this tragic day for our community. Harris yeah. Our thoughts and prayers, of course, remain with you and the victims who are hospitalized right now. Were getting updates on how were doing. Look, we could talk politics in a second. I want people to know this was also personal for so many people in your community including you. You have a daughter and a niece at that high school. Yeah. Well, ive been in parkland for 20 years. I was the mayor from 2006 to 2016 and now im the county commissioner for this district. My daughter had left about an hour before the incident started. My niece was in the classroom, a couple of classrooms over. So this was real personal to me in addition to being professional. This was an issue that really hit home, and i just went home last night and hugged them real tight. Harris look, i appreciate you stepping up and wanting to get into the politics of this with me at this hour. Some people might say that its not time for that, but, you know what . Its already happening commissioner. It happening on capitol hill, so i want to ask you about it. Who gets it right . Chris murphy or marco rubio . And i dont know how much you know of what they have each said so i can fill you in if you need it. You know, just listening to some of the debates coming out around this, we have to do a better job of making sure that people that are mentally ill can get their hands cant get their hands on these types of assault weapons. Its just too much. Too many children. Too many people. We have to do a better job as a community to make sure that happens. Harris im wondering how we best do that. This particular suspect bought this gun legally. Thats what were learning today. He did have a history. A lot of that history happened in the last year or so people were aware that he had certain guns and im reading reports that he had had a loss of a mom who mad adopted him. There was no safety net. He was staying with friends, neighbors, family, that sort of thing. So there were some issues with him, but he was on the record as being somebody who should not have been on that school campus, certainly not with a backpack. So where do we start . I mean, school has a resource officer onsite at all times. He was not supposed to be there. We need to do a better job making sure that people that arent supposed to be on School Campuses cant get on, and in Broward County that should mean one way on to the schools and one way out. I know this school well. There are multiple buildings. Its 3,000 students. Its a large school, and i think thats also an important issue. Some of the kids saw some Different Things on social media now thats being reported, and i think we need to do we need to encourage them in the future, if they see something to say something, and we just need to be more vigilant. You would never you never would have expected in this town, were the picture of suburbia, rated the safest city, high performing schools, this school is one of the best schools in south florida, and people are moving to parkland and people move to this area just for what we offer by way of schools and open space and what not, and to see this is just devastating and shocking to our community. Harris commissioner, you gave us a lot of information there for possibility on change in the future. You talk about those entryway points on and off campus. We appreciate that. Im so glad that you could join us at this hour. Our prayers are with you and your community. Thank you. Thank you. Have a good day. Harris were learning there were warning signs obviously. Weve been talking about them this hour about 19yearold nikolas cruz, accused in the Florida School massacre, including potential Mental Health issues. Its been a theme throughout, whether the tragedy could have been prevented based on any of that and what needs to be done to keep such a thing from happening again.

Harris so were sitting by now waiting for the First Court Appearance by nikolas cruz, suspect in yesterdays florida School Shooting that left 17 people dead. Were learning the f. B. I. Was warned about someone named nikolas cruz in september. Watch. In 2017, the f. B. I. Received information about a comment made on a youtube channel. The comment simply said im going to be a professional school shooter. No other information was included with that comment which would indicate a time, location, or the true identity of the person who made the comment. The f. B. I. Conducted reviews, checks, but was unable to further identify the person who actually made the comment. Harris police also say the suspects social media accounts were full of disturbing content including pictures of his arsenal. Steve rogers is a former member of the f. B. I. Joint Terrorism Task force. Boy, weve been together on a lot of breaking news. Michael said something that left me in chills. He said, we could have gotten to that guys house. What . They couldnt figure out who this guy was, they couldnt track him down. You think they could have. I think they could have. Ive supervised investigations. Something that ground. Harris did they drop the ball . On this, i would say they did, but only to this degree. They probably get millions of these types of things over the internet and its hard to track abc. But because of the profoundness, it would have been a priority. Harris lots going on during the commercial here but you had an interesting take on what you do when you get to the house. You get to the house, knock on the door and begin talking with him. You begin, as mike said, you befriend him and look at his behavior. Look at what hes doing and walk into the house. These people will let you right in the house. You look around. You might see guns. Harris is that legal . Its basic but ive got to ask you. If youre invited in, you can ask, can i come in, can i talk to you inside your kitchen. Then you look around and you might see posters with all sorts of deadly stuff on there you might see on a table something that would lead you to believe this guy really means it. When you see that, you cant collect it as evidence but you can certainly use that as a basis maybe to get a warrant to get into the computers to get into the Electronic Devices he has in the house. Harris are you seeing more now with kind of the next generation of social media . Because its been around, generations, 1825 years. Weve been around long enough now, are you seeing more of a connection between what people say they will do and what people actually will do . The one Common Thread in all these shootings is social media. Somebody either heard something, saw something, chatted with someone in a chat room with regard to crimes like this. Harris so what do we do moving forward . Because you say, well, there are so many of these, and what rises to the level of responsive action . Heres what rises to the level of responsive action. The president of the United States said it this morning in a wonderful address to this country. God, family and faith. Thats part of it. So we need to get our families back together. We need parents to understand that they have really got to get engaged with their children and keep an eye on them. Not only when they leave the house but in the house. Harris reports that this young man, suspect might not have had that Family Support around him, but people knew, the people who had taken him in, that he had certain weapons, they had asked him to keep them down the hallway or keep them in a different place, according to reports. Steve rogers, always good to have you. Thank you very much. Teachers were also warned about cruz before the shooting. School officials told them to keep an eye on him and he wasnt allowed on campus with a backpack. Ive been mentioning that this hour. Students had their own suspicions as well. Watch this. We actually kids were joking saying that he would be the one to shoot up the school. It turns out, everyone predicted it. Thats crazy. Harris all right. Our doctor is a Mental Illness and forensic psychiatrist. Also on the Broward County sheriff Emergency Response them. Great to have you today and appreciate your time. You have something in the state of florida called the baker act. And it allows you tell me what it allows, because it is different from what other states v. How does it work . The baker act is an involuntary commitment up to 72 hours that allows to you force someone into treatment if they are a danger to themselves, a danger to others, or gravely disabled and unable to provide for their basic needs. Harris does that help in an instance where you have a teenager who is not allowed back on a High School Campus with a backpack . Not necessarily. A teenager coming on to a High School Campus if hes not supposed to be there he might be arrested for trespassing but if he not making a specific threat to himself or to other people, then there is very little you can do to take him involuntarily to a hospital. Harris dr. Bober, in which instance has anything that you can utilize in florida made a difference . Its really only a short term solution. We can only hold people for up to 72 hours. Its always a struggle, a balance between individual Civil Liberties and public safety. We cant just go taking people to the hospital against their will because they post something on social media. There needs to be very specific threats. Otherwise, system could be abused and people could be put away for virtually anything. Harris thats the critics and the people who really dont like the idea of others being able to major decisions about our health, whether its mental or otherwise. Thats what they say. So where are we now, just in terms of red flags with people and particularly this age group, this young age group, and i dont want you to look at this particular suspect because youve never sat with him but just overall. You know, its very, very difficult to predict these things. The majority of people with Mental Illness will never be violent. Only 4 of firearm homicides are committed by people with Mental Illness. The majority of gun owners are not violent. This is the perfect storm and sometimes these factors come together to create a situation where if one person is determined to do harm to other people, then hell do it and there is nothing you can do. The message to the parents of america are that when your child is putting you through so much that you cant stand to be around them and you dont even know what to do with yourself, thats when they need you the most and thats when you need to step up to the plate. Harris wow. As we learn about this particular young man, maybe not having that, his mother passed away in november of the flu, or some other illness, respiratory illness, were learning, without that safety net, would that have made a difference . We dont know. We werent there with him but its worth reporting that his safety net was quite different than it is for children who might have parents in the home. Before i let you go i want to talk with you about the stigma of Mental Illness, and the place we need to get to in this country. There is a tremendous stigma against Mental Illness. The bottom line is, when someone tells you that they are depressed, or when someone tells you that they have anxiety, you dont look at them the same way as if they tell you they have diabetes or heart disease. Thats really the issue. We just are very judgmental about people with Mental Illness, which causes them to hide in the shadows and not get the help that they need. Until were willing to look at Mental Illness as a legitimate disease the same way we do as heart disease, then people will be afraid to seek treatment because of that stigma. Harris dr. Bober, thank you very much. Its so great to get from you Broward County with that immediate experience that you have with the officials there. Thank you. My pleasure. Harris as we await the suspects First Court Appearance and an update from the Broward County sheriff including that timeline that were interested to see, the national spotlight, again, on school security. One expert says School Shootings are a war and should be treated as such. Is that realistic . What does it mean . The former coshare of a Terrorism Task force shares his insights with me. Stay here. I imagine parents this morning are saying to themselves, you know, should my child go to school today . Are they going to be safe . And were going to figure this out. Weve got to figure out how to keep our kids safe in this state. Why are you so good at this . Had a coach in high school. Really helped me up my game. I had a coach. Math. Ooh. So, why dont traders have coaches . Who says they dont . Coach mcadoo you know, at td ameritrade, we offer free access to coaches and a full education curriculum just to help you improve your skills. Boom thats lesson one. Education to take your trading to the next level. Only with td ameritrade. But hes got work to do. With a sore back. So he took aleve this morning.

Plus were learning more about the shooters background as we expect to hear about the timeline of events that led to yesterdays massacre and the senate and house on different pages when it comes to immigration reform. Several plans being floated including one from a senator and rep in colorado. Harris on one screen youve got the courthouse there in fort lauderdale, florida, and were also watching. Looking off to the corner here, those microphones and media gathered now for the next Broward County sheriff update. So weve got that on the screen. We await Nikolas CruzsFirst Court Appearance. An author and National Teenager expert says School Shootings are a war and should be treated adds such. He said security is not working with and School Officials need to think outside the box. His name is larry lawton and joining us now is a person who can look at all of that information for us. Bob strang is a former cochair of new yorks antiTerrorism Task force and he advises schools on security. You watched our last guest and came out with it about some thoughts on Mental Health. Sure. It should all be treated the same. Especially in a school. You have to share information, the Police Officer with the psychiatrist, and take action. Think of it this way. If there had been a base at that school with the police chief and the Mental Health division of the local hospital working with the principal, having a program in place, being able to identify troubled students when they get expelled, the police chief would take his vehicle number, visit his home. There would be a lot of things that would have been done preventatively that didnt happen. They did this in new york with community policing. He goes into the neighborhoods and tries to prevent terrorism. He gets to know people in the community. Develops a dialogue with them and it works. It does give the feedback and is enabling us to develop informants, execute search warrants and make a positive effect. Harris what i understand from what youre saying our Police Departments do have the resources to keep an eye on an individual like this per se. Especially like this. I mean, this is the kind of thing, your last guest was talking about having him baker acted. If the police had gone to his house he would have gone to jail but certainly he was a candidate to be put away in the hospital. Harris for that 72hour period. What about pictures of the perpetrator. We have the attorney general share that she had had a stalker. I had one, worked at a local fox station in kansas city and we began to put up pictures so that when he came into the front of the Building People could see him. What about doing that in schools . Thats all part of it. How about having one entrance where students come in and the Police Officers know who to look for. They are wear of it there. Has to be a system put into place. Looking at vehicles, bulletproof glass. Tv. Harris where do you put bulletproof glass . The entrance, so you can control it to some degree. Youve got to be able to respond quickly. Youve got to be able to prevent a situation like. This we have the tools, harris. We have the psychiatrists. We have great Police Officers. We have good schools. I think its the will of the people that say, you know what . We do need to step this up a little by. This is a war. We have to be prepared. We have to know that when someone like this is out there, that they are caught before this happens. Harris none of this takes an act of congress. We dont have to wait for the people on capitol hill to do what they do best and that is to talk about all of these things. You just mentioned some things that we can do at any school in america.
