News I'm David Greene in El Paso Texas and I'm Rachel Martin in Washington d.c. 30 seconds that was all the time it took for police to take down a gunman in Dayton Ohio and they are being praised for that swift action as they should be but it's also important to note that in those same 30 seconds that same gunman was able to kill 9 people 9 lives taken in half a minute just 13 hours before a similar scene unfolded in El Paso Texas when another white man opened fire on a shopping center killing 20 both communities are grieving We'll have more coverage from El Paso this hour but right now we're going to focus in on Dayton and we are joined by the mayor of that city Nan Wally he joins us on the line a merit thank you so much for being with us our condolences for your community. There was a vigil yesterday for the victims of the shooting in Dayton is there an image is there a moment a person that stands out to you from. The moment. I kind of get are people that they might not. Know that Cole. Unity wrong and I think termination was a pretty kind of challenge it also I think burning it was a young woman who actually came up to me dated the shooter and said initiate change change such to pay the fine and try to already achieve like no one was but then a lot of. People like you had a lot of guilt on her cheek and doesn't on I mean I remember sanctuary like but you did everything you could do and I think you know there's a lot of people in our community because the action you know really could be preventable that people even individually think that they could prevent a very difficult to handle your line is breaking up at the top of that but basically they were describing how people each can sometimes feel their own individual guilt over not being able to present something that no one and no one could've necessarily predicted how great Have you spoken to any of the victims' families at this point you know we're really appear in a week of the victims and their family and it's a victim advocate and you know the. Time. That you know we want to make sure that they have what they needed but that advocate here with the entire process. President Trump has ordered that flags at the White House be lowered in honor of the victims in El Paso and date. Have you heard from the president. Yet the company bought it in a. Week. And my view but it is a. Benegal action regarding the assault weapon ban I shared with and my concern that I don't think. That my plate Department we don't bank on it kind of gun bore and southern Ohio we of course recognize it on a gun but when you structure that it can do and 24 seconds and really question what are we doing can you remind us what weapons the shooter was armed with. Armed with a $23.00 caliber which was an a a y right he had put the drum on it that would allow him to shoot $100.00 grand on the course. Of a minute I think Rip purchased legally and there you know why. I'm. Not. Going to go on the date that did you talk to the president about specific policy prescriptions that you would like to see happen when it comes to gun control you know I shared with the president how to make any sense the 200 it by a mass shooting. You know in May you all covered it well that we had in 2008 a rabbit through our city that was an act of God. Act to me that to be completely preventable. When you say that what does that mean how would you like to see these massacres prevented. I'm a bear and I'm going to my grieving with my unity and doing everything right and my . Very. Own watching. So I really. Thank. And Wally is the mayor of Dayton Ohio we appreciate you taking the time this morning and. We're going to turn now to N.P.R.'s reporter Bracton Booker who is in day covering the shooting the investigation and the aftermath Bracton thanks for being here thank you for having me Oh we we asked the mayor of date about that vigil What can you what can you tell us about it what did it look like sounds like it was the scene. Well there were there were tons of people is it impossible to count because everyone was on 5th Street in the working district not far from. Just couples steps away from where the shooting took place less than 24 hours earlier from when the visuals held it at 8 o'clock Sunday evening now will tell you Rachel I've been to more vigils than I can remember as parkland and Pittsburgh and a couple of months ago in Virginia Beach this one there was there was a prayer there were even 10 doves that were released one for the survivors and the other 9 to represent the lives lost early Sunday morning now one thing that the mayor did not mention was win Ohio Republican governor Mike De Wine address the crowd now when Governor when the mayor addressed the crowd she got a standing ovation when the Republican governor just the crowd he was received politely at 1st but as he began talking he eventually got shouted down here's what it sounded like we do tonight this amazing crowd. Is to say. Them that I love you. And care I'm very very deeply about. The crowd was chanting and shouting do something do something and you know pass some stricter gun laws and the state. Officials have said the shooter was a 24 year old white male he was heavily armed we heard the marriage describe the weapons that he was carrying what more can you tell us yeah the police paint a picture of someone who was intending to inflict maximum damage as the mayor said you know the gunman had a 223 caliber assault style rifle and it had 100 round drum attached to it which he didn't mention was that he was also had a bulletproof vest he had hearing protection and a mask all these things show that he was ready to inflict some really devastating pain their. Officers responded within seconds within 30 seconds and at least 6 officers reportedly fired on the gunman now but the gun she did say it was obtained legally it was purchased over the Internet it originated in Texas and it was transferred to a gun shop in Dayton and police say nothing nothing in his record would have a ticket would have barred him from obtaining those weapons the only thing that showed up in his record were a few minor traffic violations what do we know about the victims. So 9 people lost their lives and all the youngest victim was actually the gunman sister her name is Macon bet she was 22 years old and the ages range from 22 to 57 now 6 of these victims were black and didn't please chief Richard Beal was asked if race played a factor in the shooting and here's what he said we have no evidence suggests there's a bias motive in this crime at this time but practice his sister . One of the victims do we know yet if that if she was a target. That is not clear at this point police did say is that the gunman his sister and another person around arrived at the downtown area at the same time at some point they got separated and police say that the that she was one of the initial victims but not the 1st victim that lost their lives early Sunday morning Ok So obviously the investigation is ongoing and we will be covering details as they emerge with N.P.R.'s Bracton Booker who is reporting this morning back then thanks we appreciate it thank you. And we're following other news this morning new Iranian state media reported Sunday that it had seized a foreign ship this is the 3rd vessel Iran has seized in a matter of weeks to Iran said it was carrying what it called smuggled fuel Here's more from N.P.R.'s Peter Kenyon Iranian media reported the seizure saying the ship was carrying some 185000 gallons of fuel Iran's English language press t.v. Aired video that it said showed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps I r g c boarding the vessel and checking the cargo to the 1st images out of the Persian Gulf where I r g c has 4 and all. The reports and the ship was taking its cargo of allegedly smuggled fuel to unnamed Gulf Arab countries 7 crew members aboard the ship were detained tensions in the Gulf began to escalate last month after British Royal Marines seized an Iranian tanker brought or saying it was bound for Syria in violation of e.u. Sanctions Iran then seized a British flag tanker in the Gulf and detained 3rd vessel before releasing it officials from both the u.k. And Iran have rejected the idea of exchanging the seized Bessel Now Iran has further increased tensions with this latest seizure he was smuggling is a real issue in the Gulf as Iranian fuel is heavily subsidized for. Domestic consumption and smugglers can re profits by selling it elsewhere but Tehran has so far provided no evidence to back up its claim that the ship it sees Sunday was engaged in smuggling Iran continues to sound defiant Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said at a news conference Monday the Trump administration's move to sanction him personally means failure for any hope of negotiations he accused Britain of being complicit in what he called u.s. Economic terrorism so we've also warned that Iran could pull out of the 2050 nuclear agreement quote if necessary Trump is already pulled the u.s. Out of the deal Peter Kenyon n.p.r. News they spent. This is n.p.r. News. Starting. A star that's always 2 and a half centuries behind the times purchased to the lower left of the moon this evening spike a is the leading light of Virgo and the 16th brightest star in the night sky it dazzles even though it's farther than most of the other members of the top 16 that tells us that spike a doesn't just look bright it really is bright. Because distance has been measured at 250 light years that's the distance covered by a beam of light which travels at 670000000 miles per hour in 250 years so the light we see from Spike a tonight actually left the star 250 years ago there's a bit of wiggle room in that distance though about 10 light years in either direction in part that's because of the technique that's used to measure distances to stars that are fairly close like Spyker astronomers compare the stars location relative to the stars around it when Earth is on opposite sides of the sun. That change in viewing angle causes the star to appear to shift back and forth a tiny bit compared to the background the size of the angle reveals the star's distance but as the distance increases the angle gets smaller which makes it harder to measure hence the margin of error but 10 light years uncertainty isn't a big problem for astronomy but it would be a problem for a starship headed to spike without a precise distance the ship might stop short or travel too far missing brilliance biker we have more sky watching tips astronomy news and much more about the universe in start a magazine details that start a dot org for the University of Texas at Austin MacDonald observatory I'm Billy Henry.

News I'm David Greene and I'm Rachel Martin More developments in Hong Kong's summer of protest residents of the former British colony have been pushing back against what anti-government protestors describe as an increasingly overbearing China today protesters called for a general strike N.P.R.'s Julie McCarthy is in Hong Kong and joins us now hi Julie . Hydration So I understand the strike the intention of this was was to shut down the entire city you've been out and about has it had that a fact. Well I saw protesters shut down Hong Kong's Metro system today early this morning they fanned out across train platforms and managed to block the doors of the trains and stop them and predictably there was commuter chaos this is what it was like when I was standing on the platform of Fortress Hill metro station in Hong Kong's island at 7 30 in the morning give a listen to this. Was some commuters said it was just too disruptive others my office can wait but my freedoms cannot they said they supported the program they said they supported the protesters but this afternoon we saw a serious deterioration here we are getting reports that police police have used tear gas at rallies across Hong Kong cow loon and the New Territories police say that they wanted to disperse the crowd they have been blocking roads vandalizing buildings including the government complex just below where I am sitting I heard the protesters earlier I look and see and it appears now that they have been completely cleared away and there were tens of thousands of them well so let's talk about the heart of these protests I mean the demonstrations are entering week 9 and the whole question of for protestors is what's the line when it comes to China's influence over mainland China's influence over over Hong Kong can you talk about the effects of these demonstrations I mean what have they changed. Well you know what's changed is the atmosphere here Rachel they've got it's gotten much more charged and emotionally inflamed and both sides have become much more entrenched in their positions the protesters are escalating their actions their barricading roads they're setting fires They're hurling bricks that used to be eggs police stations and police are responding with care. Mr after canister of tear gas it's intensifying but the demonstrators demands remain the same full withdrawal of this controversy the extradition Bill public inquiry into alleged police abuse amnesty for all the protesters under arrest and universal suffrage they want to elect not have Beijing appoint their own local officials so the local official they are being carried Lam the chief executive of Hong Kong and today she condemned what she described as escalating violence. What's been the effect of that has not being received. Well it wasn't received very well you know it was the 1st time in 2 weeks that she brief the media and she came out with the bottom line that really grates here she said these were indiscriminate disruptions and that they were challenging the One Country 2 Systems formula of government of Hong Kong and putting it quote on a road to no return Rita Chan was a rally go or today and said look at general strike is nonviolent to demonstrate solidarity and she also said she respects the One Country 2 Systems model of governing Hong Kong However she says the freedoms meant to be protected in the 2 systems part of that equation are shrinking here she has a home going I don't. Want somebody there cause I think that a lot of Hong Kong people she says are worried that in 10 years the one country 2 system model will be a one country one system and that we'll lose our rule of law and freedom of assembly She says we're not challenging the one country we want to preserve the 2 systems part of that and we're not putting Hong Kong on the road to no return she says it's carried lambs government who did that. Is Beijing saying anything at this point. Oh yes are they ever the Chinese are getting pointedly accusatory as these protests persist and trade tensions with the United States drag on Beijing is blaming the United States for the turmoil in Hong Kong and has escalated those statements in recent weeks Beijing has spoken to the foreign hand in Hong Kong before but not this pointedly.

News I'm Rachel Martin in Washington d.c. And I'm David Greene Paso Texas which is one of 2 u.s. Cities experiencing a massacre this weekend 20 people were killed here 9 people were murdered in a rampage in Dayton Ohio which brings us to this painful coincidence Manuel and Patricia all over lost their son in a different shooting the one of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida last year they've been traveling pushing for stricter gun laws and they'd arrived here in El Paso Texas having no idea what the city was about to go through still a child as of member station Katie is sitting next to me here no Paso She's been reporting on the massacre here and joins me this morning either Stella Hi David So you came across these 2 parents from Parkland just last night and explain to me what this experience of being here was like for them close a very moving moment for them their son Joaquin would have turned 19 yesterday on Sunday and obviously they had already planned to unveil this neural but instead of just making it about their son they really made it about the entire community of El Paso and. You know urged the people there to take action that they they need to speak out they need to advocate for stricter gun laws and that their son Joakim was an activist and that he was the advocate of the immigrant community and you can hear well in this next clip speaking very passionately. This is the moment to talk about guns. We know what the old families are going through their life has changed forever their years but you do something about it so it will pass so could be that city that is that before not after mass shootings it's just amazing to have a family who went through. Something in a totally different part of the country being here and sort of sharing in this in this tragic moment I mean obviously I guess we study each of these events like Parkland like Dayton and here in El Paso this we're going to try and understand them as best we can it looks like the shooter here may have written some kind of manifesto hateful against Hispanics against immigrants What impact is that having on people who live here well it's hitting them very hard I mean I've spoken to a number of people who say they're afraid they're worried about more people coming to this community to either to shoot up the place or just to be very hateful and the really are placing the blame on the rhetoric that's coming the president terms the administration and so one of the things that I've noticed in talking to people is that they're really stressing how close knit this community is even though it is a large city they really the fact that they're like a small town many people have grown up here have lived here many for most of their lives still the towers from member station KUOW Ari thanks so much stellar for all your reporting thank you David knows as we mentioned Paso is a city where many people in the country live illegally as an organization here called the Hope border Institute it's an organization that among other things tries to help people who are in this position Monsignor Arturo been well as chairman of the Institute here in El Paso and we have him on the line with us good morning good morning can you talk about I mean there have been reports that people in the country illegally are feeling a sense of fear right now and it might be affecting some of the decisions they're making in the wake of this shooting what are you hearing and seeing. Live in fear only because some of the families our children were murdered consistency and parents are. Really they have to be very careful going to the grocery store going to church go and just. With their kids because they have a tremendous fear that they're going to be stopped and they poured it immediately and then be separated with their families this happens regularly here on the border . And how is that impacting people in this moment is that all Paso is is trying to recover and you have people going to hospitals or people trying to find family members and reunification centers I was at the unification center waiting with the families waiting to hear news of their loved ones it was a nightmare for families things that a moment nobody should have to endure it was a very somber sad moment and it was like a silent crying among the people and some of the families were not able to did not show up to see if their loved ones were because they were afraid that they would be deported because the place was surrounded by border patrol as well as the police and this tremendous fear some people risk that some people were very afraid to come to be deported and the same thing with the hospitals I heard about a family that was injured and was afraid to go to the hospital because afraid of the fear of being deported and separated from their family. Based on your experience do you think that is a real risk I mean what authorities ever actually deport someone from a hospital who was injured or is visiting someone who was injured in a cabin it has happened I speak to people in the hospital they will say we'll treat everybody but it has happened yes. What advice are you giving people who are afraid. Who might be considering whether to go look for family in a reunification center or go to the hospital visit people. To go that where there there's a lot of people who are building to help at moments like this I think there's more compassion and more understanding of people Spain and I mean even the people have. Families are pleased to be ice people that Border Patrol they have families they understand these moments and I think it moments of crisis like this and then there was people there were trees there were chaplains and there we were be able to be of service to them I would see will help you. Could you reflect on the reports we're hearing about this manifesto that the suspected shooter here wrote that spoke of an Hispanic invasion of Texas was incredibly hateful against Hispanics and immigrants What do you think about when you hear about that. It was very clear from the manifesto that this man organized and targeted. One of the busiest. Walmart's in our city where the majority of people come here are from Mexico and are Hispanic It was a targeted moment to kill people for office panic and immigrant descent I think we need to be very careful about our anti immigrant rhetorical sometimes supported by our government leaders the silence of Congress is shameful Sometimes we hear it in several news channels this anti American retort has deadly consequences are left one guy. But we have a different manifesto here it's about family and love and justice and that and the fact that those who have died tell us do not remain silent about what happened about gun laws about say no phobia about racism and violence month in your tour of and well as the chairman of the whole Puerto Institute here in El Paso Texas thank you very much for your time this morning Ok thank you.
