over mine, and therefore the the shooter thought that i may have been dead. and those stories really do, unfortunately, resonate for us and make us remember why this violence should be stopped. yeah. it should definitely be stopped. according to the recent study there have been 1,000 mass shootings since sandy hook, and it s time for us to step up and demand accountability from congress so that communities like roseburg and charleston and lafayette don t have to go through the devastating tragedies and the aftereffect of it. i want to play a little bit of the discussion that s happening now around the country. here in new york city as well as in washington, d.c. and every town across the country and that is so how do we fix it which you were intimating there and here is a part of the discussion on meet the press this morning
are covered with water and you don t want to drive on them and that s a big concern. the coastal flooding expected until tomorrow at 6:00 at night. until then, you can expect these roads for north wildwood, new jersey, to be covered with water all throughout the day. back to you. the weather channel s raegan medgie, thank you so much laying out how this storm is affecting not only those in the south and also those farther up the eastern seaboard there in new jersey and we ll have more, of course, on what s hitting the carolinas as well as farther north up to new jersey and beyond. we also want to cover and return to the story that we ve been following this hour and on this sunday and that s in roseburg, oregon, where just days after the deadly shooting spree that left ten people dead, the small community struggling to move forward, and joining me now mike kildal at redeemers fellowship church in roseburg. what was the service like today
after days of unprecedented rains. those rains haven t given up which means the flooding will continue even after the rain stops. we ll take yah back to the carolinas in just a few minutes and first we want to get to this story we re watching on msnbc. roseburg, oregon, it s the first sunday where that community is now having to remember and look back to thursday. remembering the nine people killed when the gunman opened fire on the campus of umpqua community college on thursday. a town barely over 21,000 people, no one has been left untouched certainly by this tragedy. those nine victims you see here who lost their lives, many of which were very, very young just starting their lives. i like to bring in po kim murray, someone who knows what that roseburg community is going through. she s a resident of newtown, connecticut, and a co-founder of the newtown action alliance. po, as you look at this and you know that first sunday because you remember that first sunday
after the newtown tragedy. what do you remember back and what might you tell those in roseburg? well, as you can imagine we were completely heart broken and shocked, but we had a group of residents that wanted to take action and we immediately gathered at the local library with friends and neighbors who wanted to honor with action the lives lost and, you know, take any steps that we could to try to change the gun laws in this nation to prevent other tragedies. you remember the stories of the heroes after the newtown tragedy and they came out day after day after day and the one that residents on the sunday that we re learning more about is how a young 20-year-old shielded the daughter of someone who spoke out today and basically what she told her dad is i think he saved my life because he put his bleeding body
