you want to do, then sandy hook happened and i cared. high school was bad enough. now this. when students are shooting students, you know, that s not understandable, it s not forgivable, but how can somebody look at a nine-year-old and shoot them in the face? how can somebody do that? how can somebody have the capability to do that? it angers me beyond comprehension, and i have a lot of displaced anger right now, don, i really do. it s just displaced so i should shut up, but it s just going to keep happening unless we do something, and i mean we, because the guys and women we have elected aren t getting anywhere. we as a people have to stand up and say, okay, son, okay, daughter, you re not okay. you are not okay. thank you. thank you. are you okay? i will be. better than these parents, that s for damn sure. thank you. thank you. thanks, kim. appreciate that. so there are major questions tonight about the police response to the elementary school shooting here
triggered by this event. most important question. you need answers from authorities tonight, phil? just a couple. people are talking about motive. i would not be concerned concerned i would not be focused on motive right now because i want to know how to prevent another one. did the individual say something that could help us understand how other people might speak when they re going to come at it like this. google searches that might help us understand how other people are searching google or participating in things like chat rooms. let me give you one other quick one. in terms of gun acquisition, what happened? who gave him the money? should he have been delayed in acquiring those guns instead of immediately after his birthday? i want to prevent the next one, but that s the last one, don. i want to know what to do to prevent the next one. phil, jason, thank you both very much.
here and point to as a potential signal that this guy was going down the wrong path? the threat assessment, the only red flag we had was the purchase and stockpiling of guns. which we weren t aware of. if we had a system where we could be much more aware of it, i m not going to get into the whole debunk stock debate, it s a mandate, there s no logical reason to have them, anybody who is buying 12 of them, 12 guns had them, that should be the biggest red flag of all that says anyone who needs 12 of these is not planning anything good with them. and even the nra agrees. so, i hate to take it back to gun control, the case of somebody who wants to commit mayhem and looks perfectly normal on the surface, the gun acquisition is probably the only way we will identify them. casey jordan, thank you so much. good to be here. we really appreciate your expertise in this. now in the av math of the shooting, the family and friends of the 58 victims are left to remember and to mourn the lov
than he was winning. maybe unsatisfying personal relationships, isolation. it could be a combination of factors. i think that s the importance of law enforcement trying to pick all those pieces apart, lay them against his timeline of activities. internet searches, travel, and gun acquisition for sure. and try to understand this in a bigger way that has, you know, clearly been harder to do than the average the typical average shooter. he checked into the hotel on september 28th. the sheriff says he s got to assume he had some help at some point. listen. he had an elaborate plan and brought 23 guns into the hotel room. over the course of three days, you ve got thousands of people going up and down the elevators in a hotel that big. he could have done this on his own. yeah. in my estimation, he could have. law enforcement has to start with the perspective that there is there are coconspirators, aiders and abetters.
there are other areas in the line of violence, the actions that lead to violence. he says gun acquisition is probably the link on the killing chain. probably something like 250 million guns floating around. it s hard to get a grip on past efforts and they have not dramatically reduced violence. is it a pair question to say that other areas in this line, you know, whether it s mental health or background checks are much more there s much more possibility for some action? well, absolutely. i mean, one of the most fascinating things about what s happened in the last few weeks is the sort of untold inside story about how the nra did this. you remember wayne lapierre and he was ridiculed. he was ridiculed roundly for saying that really the solution here is securing schools. in fact, the only piece of this senate bill that could probably get through both chambers right now is inkraes einkraese ee eee
