actually they are the suspect. or the suspect is holed up in their vehicle, unknowingly, and you have allowed a citizen to drive home with someone inside the car. all of this going on in a very crowded, challenging environment. clint, do you want to weigh in here? yeah, i just think they are going to be moving very very quickly, and if i can tie back to anything, just a few days, you know, ago we were talking about the shooting in texas, and they just didn t have a lot of details, and they didn t have a lot of law enforcement officers. we re seeing the inverse situation here where speed matters, they re moving very quickly. separately, you know, just looking at this law enforcement response here, they re going to be able to move on any lead or tip that comes in. so i think this is a set up that s going to be very aggressive, like frank said, they re going to be going for the search warrant. the other thing i would add is they would be looking in terms of any sort of postings, maybe
him, because if they know where he is, it would lead the public s angst if they say, well, you know, we know where he is. he s barricaded in a room or we re talking to him or he s deceased or we can t find him. if you can t find him, you know, everybody really needs to stay barricaded in their rooms, locked in their rooms, in that certainly few block area until they can idm, as clint said. that photograph will i.d. him. if they know he s there with his mother, they know who he is. they re going to go back to his house, get other evidence, where could he be, track a cell phone. see other places he might have frequented, other places he might go to. see if they can get a handle on him if they don t think he s still in the building. we know that the gradys health systems chief medical officer will give an update from patients on the shooting at 2:20 eastern.
shooters? interesting. we think of the active shooter, the ak-47, ar-15. but when you look at the weapons broken down, it comes to about half rifle and half pistols. you know, it s it s nothing you would minimize. if you go back to virginia tech shooting, that was an individual with two pistols who, you know, achieved a record body count which, you know, it s about the g guns, not the type. and how they re used, of course. the big question when they do a report like this going in the wrong direction, people want to know what is the solution? how do you fix this? what are the takeaways? so, the study goes deep. this is a really interesting caveat. we talk about mass shootings. mass shootings and active shooters are different. every active shooter intends to be a mass shooting but not every mass shooting is an active shooter. what do you mean by that? the fbi definition of an active shooter, someone that planned to go somewhere and
this week those debates feel a bit more intense than they have in a while, and there s some deepening tensions between activists who wield power inside primary circles and the overall electorate today marks the tenth anniversary of the virginia tech shooting 32 people were killed and now it s been surpassed by mass shootings in vegas and orlando six more killed two weeks ago in a school in nashville. 2024 republican hopefuls gathered at the nra convention on friday and rejected the idea that gun restrictions could somehow limit gun violence and the nra could demand un lilimit association. politicians should never go to bed unafraid of what this association and all of our millions of members can do to their political careers. the issue is not too many guns the issue is too many thugs, hoodlums and savage criminals on the street.
look at vehicles. i was right there on battlefield boulevard within three miles of this walmart. who knows where the next mass shooting is going to occur. yes, i m frustrated. i m frustrated to the point of tears as you can see right now. we re in the position to do something and this legislature does not have the will to do it. we know who the people are. it s time for people to start electing people who have their best interests at heart who care about whether or not they live or die. can we talk about what more you think this legislature can do? because you re right. it took so long after the virginia tech shooting, 2007, 33 people murdered, it took until 2020 for governor northam to sign that legislation that includes red flag laws and other limits on guns. it does not, the assault weapons ban died in the state legis legislature, what do you think can be done in the next session?
