failures is the inability of congress to give us national laws that we can use so other states are not thwarting our hard efforts in the state of new york to protect new yorkers. so there was a failure on in levels, jake. it s not acceptable. new york state has a minimum age of 21 to have a hand gun. in fact, i think that s a national regulation. you want to raise the age of any purchase of any gun to 21. do you think you can pass that kind of law for long guns, for ar-15s? and do you think it will survive court challenges? right now, we re looking at the ar-15, the same weapon that was purchased by an 18-year-old in new york and in texas. so when you think about the fact that an 18-year-old can go out on their birthday and buy an assault weapon that should be used on battlefields, and they can t even buy a beer at the corner bar, something is wrong with our system.
depravity of the shooter. if you have a beating heart and you can hear the words you re saying, it is tough, regardless of anything. 100%. so when you look at this shooting and what occurred there, i think a few more questions could be asked. there may have been windows in that classroom. was that an opportunity to engage this individual? and so far as we know he was not wearing body armor. that s correct. initially from the texas department of public safety, they said he was wearing body armor. they changed that to wearing a tactical vest. that could include plates. look, you see them in the military. they include a ballistic plate, which would make it very difficult for let alone a hand gun but a rifle shot to go through. this is more the type of vest you could put in magazines. it s something that s.w.a.t. team members wear to carry all their gear, frankly that the
confessed. how did he get out? regardless how he got out, authorities say this could be concerning, because he could be armed and dangerous with her service hand gun. by the way, they don t know where this couple is. her voice mail is full. her phone has been going to voice mail. the question right now is, where could they be? the arrest warm is a charge for facilitating the escape of a prisoner. very scary that he might have access to his firearm. thank you for bringing this story that. is going to do it for me today on this monday. garrett haake picks up our coverage, next. haake pickups or coverage, next ! everybody ready? alexa, ask buick to start my enclave. starting your buick enclave. i just love our new alexa. dad, it s a buick. i love that new alexa smell. it s a buick. we need snacks for the team. alexa, take us to the nearest grocery store. getting directions. alexa will get us there in no time. it s a buick. let s be real. don t make me turn this alexa around.
he has access to her service hand gun. investigators do not know where the pair is, but take a listen to what the sheriff had to say a short time ago. he has nothing to lose. he is extremely dangerous. he s dangerous. and i can t emphasize that enough to our fellow law enforcement officers across the country. if you encounter this guy, he is dangerous. don t take any chances. reporter: clearly, investigators believe that he is very dangerous. but that s because of his past. in 2015, he was convicted of a crime spree that included home invasion and a carjacking. he was awaiting a trial on charges of capital murder after he had confessed and later recanted to a stabbing several years after that. again, the pair right now is on the run, and that new warrant has been issued for the arrest of that corrections officer.
