oh, you guys. i know you like wrestling, so we got you some vip tickets. you have made an impact. so have you. for you guys to be out here doing something like this, it restores a lot of faith in humanity. you are live in the cnn newsroom, i m jim acosta. this just into cnn. law enforcement officials in florida say multiple people have been injured in the paddock mall after police responded to an active shooting situation earlier today. officials report the mall has been evacuated, but add there is no longer a threat at this time. authorities also said the suspect has fled the scene. police did not say how many people were injured or they did not comment, we should also note, on the severity of the injuries, but this is something we re following closely at this hour. it s a continuing, developing story, and as more information comes in, we ll bring that to you, as it develops, so, stay with us for all of that. in the meantime, we begin the hour, as well, with justice po
want the plant back, with everything it had? or what you re going to have. i will be dumbfounded if you find anybody other than for pure sentimental reasons saying i d rather have a coal plan. i ll end by telling you another quick story. when we move from scranton, when coal died in scranton, everything died in scranton. and my dad wasn t a coal miner. my great grandfather was a mining engineer but my dad was in sales, and there was no work so we left to go down to delaware. i told you where those oil plants were. but i remember driving home when you take the trolley in scranton, going out north washington and adams avenue, within 15 blocks we didn t live in the neighborhood, the most prestigious neighborhood in the region, in the town where the scrantons and other good decent people lived, there was a you d go by a wall that my recollection was somewhere between 15 and 18 feet tall. and it went essentially a city block. and you could see the coal piled up to the very top o
capitol, pressure local government officials to find you a certain number of votes. you can t tell doj to declare fraud. i don t think this as a strategy will work. this could just be donald trump being donald trump, flying by the seat of his up pants. there is no provision in the constitution or the law that allows you to de-certify an election, so i don t think it s going to go anywhere. it s just something to show you that, boy, things are continuely stran continually strange, and nothing should surprise you in 2022. thank you both. tune in for cnn special live kr coverage as the january 6th committee turns to conduct during the capitol attack. our coverage begins tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. eastern. and new cnn polling shows a growing majority of americans are in favor of stricter gun safety measures to prevent mass shootings. we re going to speak to the mayor of highland park,
illinois lawmakers went to capitol hill calling for stricter gun laws after the mass shooting in highland park on the fourth of july. republicans said the focus should be on teaching americans how to spot warning signs of a potential mass shooter. but the highland park mayor shared what she believes is the true root of the problem. how much more needs to happen before this obvious action is taken. we know that there are mental health issues in other countries throughout this world. we know that there are troubled people who are inclined towards violence, what s the differentiating factor, combat weapons and access to civilians. there s no place for these weapons. today s hearing is about how do we reduce mass shootings. we reduce mass shootings by getting rid of combat weapons in civilian hands. well said, thank you. and highland park mayor, nancy rotoring joins us now. thank you so much for being here. we haeard the applause from the
room. that s confusing, why not just talk about it, why not have the conversation. what you were suggesting, we have a graphic of it. these are common sense gun issues that so many americans say they want. you re calling for a ban on assault type weapons, large capacity magazines, ban for people under 21, strengthen the red flag laws, reduce or eliminate immunity for gun dealers, require safer storage for guns. these are things gun owners say they want. how does what you re calling for differ from the bipartisan gun safety law that was passed last month? the safer communities act was a terrific first step. and it put resources behind the need for increased mental health services within our country, it brought awareness to the red flag laws, and it did a number of sort of the low hanging fruit steps that of course should have happened at least 30 years ago when we saw all of this beginning with columbine and
