good morning to viewers here in the united states and all around the world, it is thursday, june 2nd. i m john berman with brianna keilar. and we do begin with the deadliest mass shooting in america since last week. four people killed in tulsa, oklahoma, this time at a hospital complex which, of course, follows mass shootings at an elementary school, a grocery store and a church. this is what we know, tulsa police say the gunman opened fire with a handgun and a rifle before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. fewer than ten people are wounded, none at this point we are told with life-threatening injuries. this is now the 20th mass shooting in america since uvalde just nine days ago according to the gun violence archive. this comes as we learn dramatic new details about the police response at robb elementary school during the standoff there. we will have more on that in a moment. let s begin, though, in tulsa with the latest developments there. lucy kafanov is on the
baltimore police commissioner. nice to have you with us. i know you have been following this from the very beginning. i want to start with d.o.j. said. quote, the goal of the review is to provide an independent account of law enforcement actions and responses that day and to identify lessons learned and best practices to help first responders prepare and to respond to active shooter events. we ve seen these types of reviews before in pulse, in san bernardino. where do they ultimately lead, though? they re going back and they re looking at the incident from beginning to end. but ultimately, we ve learned our lessons at columbine. we ve learned that you don t have time to waste, that you ve got to get in there. so with this investigation, i really don t know what will be gained. i feel that this is more of an effort to play hot potato with failure and stall. we know that there are answers that the public, these poor parents, everyone deserves right now. so the federal governm

elementary school. she saw her teacher killed. for the first time we learn what the killer said before he fired his gun in that classroom. we hear new details about what he did, this witness says he played music during the massacre. and we learn what this brave 11-year-old did to stay alive while it was all happening. all of this at the top of the next hour. in the meantime, the police response to the tragedy that took place here is facing intense scrutiny and there are new questions about the timeline. this is what we know. the 18-year-old gunman was not not confronted by law enforcement before he entered the building. this contradicts what we were told repeatedly by law enforcement. officers at the scene we are told were calling for backup as shots were being fired inside the school. a source close to a teacher who was inside says the school was not on lockdown before the shooter entered, even though he fired shots at two people near the school 12 minutes earlier. fra
commitment to he spond militarily if china intervenes in taiwan. we agree with one china policy. we signed onto it and all the attendant agreements made from there. but the idea that it can be taken by force is taken by force is just not appropriate. it will dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in ukraine. cnn is live for us this morning in tokyo. hi, kevin. you know, the president catching some off dpafd with that commented on taiwan. what is the white house saying now? i know china has responses as well. yeah, some of the president s aids were caught off guard. they should be, the u.s. long adhered to the policy of strategic ambiguity. they will provide the defensive weapons against invading. they won t necessarily spell out what they would do if china were to invade. so the white house says the us policy hasn t changed, essentially saying the president didn t mean what he said. with enthe president was speaking. he said something
