did he tell someone he was going to do it. did someone give him the gun, give him the ride, facilitate it, encourage him? that is things they are looking at in the chattanooga case, if he had for and help, local help. that will have to be looked at here as well to see the whole picture of what went together to cause this shooting event in lafayette. let s go back to clint van sent. as jim was talking about, there is this forensic investigation going on right now. part of that will be discovering who the gun man is. there is a possibility they already know who he is. they will want to go to his apartment. what are they looking for? there is a distinct possibility they will likely be able to identify the shooter based upon identification he is carrying, the cards, drivers license things like that. let me interrupt you for a second.
during an isis raid. concern among u.s. security officials is growing over potential terror threats against the united states during the upcoming july 4 holiday. the u.s. air force cancelled a big fireworks and air show at a base in england. on thursday there was a lock down at w s navy yard. jim sciutto has been working his sources and has more from washington. george the alert at the navy yard here in washington started with an employee who heard noises and thought it might be gunfire but it turned out to be construction noises. this is across the country. concerns of attacks by isis supporters. tied to the july fourth weekend added here was the fact that it was a military facility there on a higher level of alert and it is a military facility that two years ago had another shooting event. but it shows you the difficulty of these decisions as they are
but there is a lot of concern that a lot of the soldiers who come back, many more than we know are particularly stressed. i would just be curious what someone like you feels about the move to arm everyone at a base in that event, to be ready for the next shooting event or to be able to respond more quickly it to. what do you think of that? look, outside of the base, if anybody you can be better armed off the base than on the base. i m not saying give everyone a weapon on the base, but if you can carry off the base out in the outside the gate, i don t see why you couldn t carry it on the base while you re there, you know what i mean? why not? i mean, obviously everyone knows that on the base, only the front gate and only the police officers are armed, so honestly, that s the place to go to if you re going to do an attack
he says it does not surprise him that it happened again. the place is too big the staff is too small. what are you hearing? chuck hagel says there s a problem here and that the pentagon will fix it. comforting words for military families, but what s the actual reality check here. this is the third major shooting event at a u.s. military installation in the last six months. the second one at ft. hood. recommendations from that 2009 shooting still being implemented at ft. hood. i ve talked to a number of officials and troops over the last couple of days. it boils down, they say, to two essential issues. ft. hood, a hundred thousand people go in and out of this base every day. you cannot check every car or every person. if someone s going to illegally bring a weapon onto the base, there is going to be very little that can be done about it. you can do security checks and
no update from earlier. okay, michael. again, pete williams reporting to us that a woman apparently tried to ram the gate at the white house. a chase followed, and she jumped out of that vehicle firing. she was shot. we re waiting to get more information from capitol police as well. we spoke with congressman peter king. i have to estimate maybe eight or nine minutes ago. he was under the impression that this update from capitol police would start soon. the president has been briefed on this incident. the white house staff in touch with law enforcement, monitoring the incident. as stated by pete williams as it relates to an ongoing shooting event, this is not the case. this person, this woman behind the wheel of this vehicle was shot and obviously enough now i custody. the white house was not on
