later this hour, for now, let s go to rosy flores. it s a little grainy, a little difficult to make out, but my goodness, what it tells you is these migrants were the folks who were waiting here on the side of the street there, really didn t have any chance whatsoever to get out of the way, it happened that fast. reporter: it was so fast. and i talked to the director of the shelter. he says that he was able to capture a different angle from his shelter, and he says what he witnessed happened at about 8:30 central time this morning. he said that it captured about 20 to 25 migrants who had just minxed breakfast at the shelter and had crossed the street and were sitting on a curb waiting for a bus. then the video shows a 2007 range rover at a very high rate of speed ran the red light and hit the curb about 30 feet from where the migrants were and the vehicle got out of control. this director said some of the migrant witnesses say it looked like an intentional act. i asked him
officer, they don t really have a proper cause to search somebody, just because they re carrying a gun. it really lowers the bar or raises the bar really for what s acceptable. we saw in cleveland, texas, we had a whole neighborhood of people who fired off guns, and this didn t raise the alarm of police officers. in fact, it took them an extra long time to get there during last week s mass killing because they were so used to these calls. it becomes where it obscures criminality, this permissive gun culture can obscure the people among us who shouldn t have guns and the behavior that can veer off really easily into criminality. all right, jennifer, thanks so much for your time. we appreciate it. coming up, texas congressman henry cuellar will join me live to talk about these two tragic incidents in texas as well as what border cities are doing to
i never really saw anything that seemed suspicious or out of whack with the guy. he would get in, park his car, and then just walk in like anybody else. nothing, you know, nothing of a red flag. i think he was a real loner. a lot of times he would walk up and down the block, and always with those converse. he liked those, i guess those were his favorite. so i think, you know, just liked to walk up and down the block with his hoodie on and just didn t really say anything. and jim, the person you heard from there is actually a neighbor of mauricio garcia s family who was describing to us their interactions over the last several years with him in the neighborhood and how they were able to identify him from the shoes he was wearing in the picture that we have been able to show you from the crime scene here. item. all right, ed lavendera, thanks for the reporting today. let s bring in cnn contributor jennifer masyeah, a
staff writer for the trace, a nonprofit news outlet dedicated to the american gun violence crisis. jennifer, thanks for joining us. there have been i guess 201 mass shootings so far this year, we re barely into may. 127 days, 201 mass shootings. that s according to the gun violence archive. do you see a common thread in all this? is it the ar-15 assault style rifles or rifles like that that we see in so many shootings over and over again? ar-15s are definitely the deadliest weapon used in these shootings. what i see is that it s very easy to get guns in the united states, and especially in texas. you can buy a gun from a stranger in texas, and there s no record of it, and it s totally legal. and you can walk up to a mall with a displayed gun and you re just, you know, exercising your second amendment rights, until you use it. then you cross the line into criminality. so these things aren t black and
