kinds of massacres. we have been asking the white house all morning about what the president plans to say and do about this, this shooting happening on his watch. still no word yet. he also, as you have been talking about all morning, sent out another tweet talking about what he thinks friends and neighbors should do when they see people who might pose a risk. of course, we know that that was done here in this case. in this case the white house is putting out a statement basically saying that the violence was terrible, and that he is offering sympathy from the people who lost loved ones. this is just a one-paragraph statement from the president this morning. we re waiting to see if we ll see and hear from him this morning. that s the proclamation that you re reading from? reporter: yes. so it s just thoughts and prayer, sympathies, this is terrible. reporter: flags lowered what we often see from these types of incidents, that s what
