i m jim sciutto. and i m erica hill. investigators in monterey park, california searching for a motive after a gunman killed ten people and wounded ten more at a dance hall. the gunman later took his own life after a standoff with officers officers. before it ended, he did try to target a second dance hall. he was stopped by a bystanders, brandon tsay, who managed to wrestle the gun away from him. my first thoughts was i m going to die here. this was it. when i got the courage, i lunged at him with both of my hands and grabbed the weapon, and we had a struggle. we struggled into the lobby trying to get this gun away from each other. he was hitting me across the face, bashing the back of my head. i was trying to use my elbows to separate the gun away from him creating some distance. brandon tsay confronted the gunman. don lemon is on the scene in monterey park, california. don, you re witnessing so much hurt there, i imagine. what are you learning this morning. repor
you have seen the glasses? come on. i have. so, paula, to your point, i m obsessed with this case and totally fascinated. this could be precedence. totally. we ll watch it closely. we know you will as well, paula. thank you. all right. let s talk about what is happening in the skies and in our airports, right? this morning on capitol hill, the acting administrator of the federal aviation administration will face congressional lawmakers against the backdrop of six major runway incidents and near miss this is year. they have not permanently filled this position yet. that is another story. so the acting administrator came before the senate panel last month after the system outages. now he s there again. what are you expecting? law makes have the chance to press him here. ahead of the safety summit that the faa auns noed next week, look at the time line here. we re averaging one of these incidents every ten days.
two twoerns are planning a press conference as well. it sure suggests that big things could be happening at 3:00. what could the district attorney knowing that so many highs are on this, what could be happening at 3:00? what do you think? i think the district attorney who is in his first term, he was just elected last year, is going to announce a time table for the release of the videos. he also may announce charges but that would first go through a grand jury and i think that is to come. you think it is too fast to have charges to be auns noed from the d.a. this afternoon. i think the first step is the video and then the charges. but he could still do the charges. but for me, i think for the cause of transparency, it is important to release the video. and i get it. d.a. didn t want to compromise witness testimony because they want them to remember what they saw and not base it on the video. but this case is all about the video. it is. right. and it is not going to matter.
