Started shedding its parts. Now, apparently other drivers on the highway had seen that this truck was having trouble. They had seen that this stuff that there was stuff hanging off of this truck. They saw how dangerous it was. Other drivers had tried to signal to the driver of the truck to let him know something was wrong, but the truck driver didnt respond appropriately, didnt seem to do anything in response to these alerts from other drivers. Ultimately, a piece of his tail Light Assembly fell off his truck at speed on the highway. And it bounced on the road, and it bounced underneath the van that was carrying the Willis Family. And that piece of that truck became shrapnel. And it punctured the gas tank of the van, and the van went up in a fireball. Five of the six kids were killed instantly in the fireball. The sixth child who was the eldest, and he was only 13, he died hours later. He died the next day. The parents were severely burned. But they survived. Just an unbelievable trage
Motherinlaw among the victims . She was not. Im sorry . Was he fired . We know he was released from the army. And wed have to refer to the air force on that. It was the air force. Where was the selfinflicted Gunshot Wound . Turkey, the head. Thank you. There have been unconfirmed reports that the suspect may have taken a hostage in the car. Its been floating around cnn and other outlets. Any truth to that . That is not confirmed. Mentioned. Apparently he thought the shooter might have attended the same church. Not true . Im not aware of the shooter attending this church. He had Family Members that attended. His spouse attended this church. Im sorry, commander, did you say that the grandmotherinlaw was not a victim . Oh, the grandmotherinlaw . Were not aware of that at this time. Earlier you told us the suspect had called his father. You expand on that conversation a little bit, tells us if the family has been cooperative, if youre interviewing them . They have been cooperative. And i r
the houthi s capabilities to continue what they ve been doing in the red sea? yeah, good morning, victor. the basic answer so that is we don t have a complete picture of that, so we don t know whether or not we have an effective strike. we don t know whether there was any damage to the complete infrastructure the radars, the service to air missile sites that the houthis have and whether we got after their launch facilities for their drones or any of the intended command and control elements for that. so, the short answer is we don t have a complete picture yet. but, i think they had enough of a complete picture to do this strike. and that was what prompted the action overnight. yeah. between these strikes, after the first but before the second, the pentagon says that they were able to fire at least one
involved at some level in this. because this is a global problem, not just a u.s. versus iran problem. so coalition strikes. number two, these strikes are going to go exactly as courtney said, against the physical means by which these houthi rebels have trained, equipped, and organized their forces. that means go after their missile sites, go after their ammunition storage, go after their fuel storage, go after their overall capability. and here s good news that can be done without huge loss of life, makes a lot of sense. and third and finally, joy, these strikes are a signal not just to houthi rebels in yemen. it s a signal to tehran, and let s hope tehran is listening because we really don t want this to expand beyond the situation we re facing now. that s what i want to talk with you more about, the
planned with coalition partners to degrade and disrupt the hootie attacks. i know stretch this will destroy the movement, they will go on but they have hit a number of key missile sites. those things that the hootie have been utilising to carry out their attacks against shipping in the red sea. houthi. in the next 48 hours we will have to see what the actual assessment is of how much damage was caused to these houthi facilities. administration abilities saying they tried to avoid areas where there might be civilians. we will have to learn if there are any reports of civilian casualties and just how much they were able to destroy. it goes without saying that what rishi sunak was talking about is the bottom line here, the disruption to international shipping through the red sea where so much comes through in the way of shipping
