The theater itself is still closed to the public but were able to get right up in front of the building and actually see the door in which John Russell Howser attempted to escape from. A corporal from the Lafayette Police department told me exactly what howser found when he came out that door. He exited out of this door right here, which is the auditorium. We had approximately 30 people that bought tickets to that showing. I believe it was based off of response by officers, he then reloaded and reentered the building and did not flee to a vehicle which was feet away in the parking lot. And the corporal told me theyre going to continue to keep the theater an active crime scene as they continue this investigation, just in case a question pops up as they comb through all the evidence that theyve collected. And theyve collected a lot. I should say hundreds of pieces of
Are different. Jim acosta joining us live in nairobi. We knew this was probably going to come up the president was likely going to address it but what was the reaction to the words he chose to use, standing right there next to the kenyan president .
