Thats from the 911 calls started coming in there from the High School in Barrow County, and aerial footage of the campus showing students actually forming right here in The Endzone of the football field, a prayer circle. Right now authorities are working to reunite students with the families. Many describing a terrifying moment that they started hearing gunshots■ i heard screaming in everything at first. I thought it was like someone just like playing around in the hallways or something. I thought it was like someone just yelling or something. So i didnt think much of it, but then it got harder than noise kept getting louder and louder. And i was like, no no guy, like i told everybody to get down, get down, because this like you dont joke around with that. So then like we were weve gotten a corn, some girls started crying and then i was like calm down and then the teacher, which he was shaking were following a number of angles here. One of them is that Vice President Kamala Harris is set to speak in New Hampshire in just moments, this was an event in which she was going to unveil a new phase of her economic plan for her potent■ ial administration. But obviously we think that shes going to address what happened in georgia. We also are getting some Breaking News from cnns John Miller and mark morales. Apparently the High School at the center of todays mass shooting, had received an earlier Phone Threat thats according to multiple Law Enfoement officials lets go ahead and go to John Miller right now because john, as youre getting these details this is very significant. Apparently Law Enforcement got word that there was a warning about shootings at five schools and this would be the first that is what were told investigators are probing reports that a Phone Call was made to appalachia High School this morning saying that there would be shootings at five schools, that it would be the first if we go back through some of our reporting and we talked about our police deployed to all the schools in Barrow County, all the High Schools. Even though there were no reports of shots fired, there that could have been that could have been an abundance of caution and a good response tactic, or it could have been in relation to that threat so what they are investigating now is is it possible that that threat came from the student who is in custody as the alleged shooter. Is it possible that that threat came from someone that he asked to make that Phone Call . At or about the time that he opened fire. The timing here is obviously going to be important as to when that threat came in, whether it was reported to police, how it was handled, and so on. But we now have from multiple sources that that is an avenue of investigation, that there was this Phone Threat that came in this morning purportedly about a shooting that was going to take place at five schools, including this one john, what questions is that going to raise about Law Enforcement response ahead of time, knowing at this point in time, there is some details obviously we do not know of course, about the timing. School started, i believe at 8 15 there this morning, the first 91 calls coming in at about 9 30 well, its going vnto its going to raise questions that are going to have to be gone through. But we also have to remember that these threats come in quite often. Does schools, sometimes in large spates and they are almost always unfounded and they are largely generated to cause disruption in the school system. If you look at this particular board of Educations Website for Barrow County they acknowledged that there are unsubstantiated threats. They acknowledged that theyre most its the to cause disruption and they acknowledged that they treat threats. That mentioned one of their schools with specificity differently. So the questions are going to be who at the school took the threat . What did they do with that report was it reported to local police was there a response from local police and what was the timing between that threat being received police arriving on the scene, if in fact they responded to the threat. And the actual shooting, which of course brought a larger police response. We need to be very careful about making any prejudgments there because this is just a lead. We are told its being investigated, but as you point out, all of those questions will have to be gone through a significant detail, especially this early in the investigation. John, please standby. We want to take you now live to the scene with cnns Issa Vocal Solace to arrive there. While parents were arriving as well, trying to pick up their loved ones. What are you seeing now . Esa, is there still kind of a flurry of activity with erins trying to reconnect with their kids boris undoubtedly, this is still active and ongoing. And in fact, i keep seeing a trickle of parents. They must have been allowed in at some point too go up there because there are scoring their children down. So im not sure if theyre releasing kids, maybe by the classroom but its very clear when looking at the faces of the parents the relief or shellshocked, these are the two things that im seeing on their face, hugging their children, knowing that theyre safe or just shell shocked at the situation at the fact that this happened in their backyard. At the school. But an incredibly emotional, understandably emotional moment for so many kids piecing for me in their tails, what it is that happened telling pulling me that they got a hard alert on the monitors there of the screen and read letters telling them that they were on lockdown, letting them know this was the real deal. This is not a drill shouts, cries, screams from the students as they took cover in the classrooms as teachers were helping to barricade the doors. My also been told time and time again, students on their cell phones, right . Internet culture immediately reaching out to their parents, letting them know, hey, im okay. Mom. Dad, im scared. I dont know whats going on just in Case Anything happens. I love you heres one of the students. And what she witnessed hear the gunshots and Everyone Doctrine Dozen teachers like the thing a tables and stuff and barricading the door so i was just scared out of my mind. I was like, what is happening because i was like, whoa then another Police Car for Barge Dan towed us, put our hands up, and then exit class, get outside i we all walked by us to girls, i think one of the, girls i dont know. One was laying down covering her eyes when her arm the other one was holding your Shoulder And Crying . She injured . Yeah. On her shoulder. I think she got shot what her shoulder tha■■ t as a teenager, her name is kaylee witnessing a classmate who she thinks was shot something. No child should ever witness something that the sheriff called here evil thing that has happened were waiting for his update here happening supposed to be happening here in the next hour, boris, you he said that was the hope that he would be able to give an update at 4 00 p. M. Hes Isabel Rosalas live from winder outside the High School. Thank you so much. Want to take you straight now to New Hampshire, where Vice President Kamala Harris is giving a speech on the economy. Shes expected acted to address the shooting in georgia. Lets listen. Ending congressional delegation senators say representatives and all the leaders who are here today. Thank you all. Thank you all for taking the time to be here this afternoon. Thank you, everyone. Thank you so before i begin, i do want to say a few words about this tragic shooting that took place. This morning. In winder, georgia were still gathering information about what happened but we know that there were multiple fatalities and injuries and you know, our hearts are with all the students, the teachers, and their families. Of course and we are grateful to the first its binders in the Law Enforcement that were on the same, but this is just a senseless tragedy on top of so many senseless tragedies. And its just outrageous that every day in our country in the united states of america, that parents have to send their children to school worried about whether or not their child will come home alive it senseless, it is. Weve got to stop it. And we have to end this epidemic of gun the violence in our country once and for all you know, it doesnt have to be this way. It doesnt have to be this way so we will continue, of course, to send our prayers and thoughts to the families and all those who were affected, including, you know, im going off script right now, but listen on mean, you know at the last year i i started a College Tour and i traveled. Our country, meeting with our young leaders, right . And so it was College Age young leaders. So i did trade schools, colleges, universities, community colleges, by the way, i love Gen Z. I just love jim but ill tell you one of the things, one of the things that i asked every time i went to the auditorium be filled with these young leaders, students and id ask them raise your hand if at any point between Kindergarten And 12th grade, you had to endure an active Shooter Drill and the for the young leaders who are here, who are raising your hands im telling you, every time the auditorium was packed and almost every hand went up a lot us up to speak about myself. We had like rep. Encounter i want to earthquake drills. We had fire drills. But are kids are sitting in a classroom where they should be fulfilling their god given potential some part of their big, beautiful brain is concerned about a shooter busting through the door of the classroom it does not have to be his way and, you know, this is one of the many because thats at stake in this election. New hampshire, we have 62 days to go and im going to tell you what you already know. This race is going to be tight until the very end. So please lets not pay too much attention to the polls. Because we are running as the underdog we know what theyre capable of. On the other side, the only thing we can take for granted is the love that we as americans have for Each Other, knowing we have so much more and then what separates and weve got to Hard Work ahead. But we like Hard Work, Hard Work. Hard work can be joyful work. And so we are up for the task and with your help, we will win in november we will win in november and that in large part is because we know what we stand for. And when you know what just stand for, you know what to fight for . We love our country and we believe in the promise of america thats sob much of what i think brings us all together. This app we believe in the promise of america and that includes a topic were going to discuss today, which is what i call an Opportunity Economy, building an Opportunity Economy and my vision of an Opportunity Economy is one where everyone can compete and have a real chance to succeed, where everyone regardless of who they are where they start, can build wealth, including intergenerational wealth, were workers are treated with Dignity And Everyone has the freedom to join a union if they choose where we remove barriers harris to opportunities. So anyone who wants to start a business can have access to the tools and the resources they need to do that i believe. And i said it before. Nicole, i believe america Small Businesses are an essential foundation to our entire economy think about it think about it. Small businesses in our country employ half of all private sector Workers Half of all private sector workers. One or run a small Business Or Work for a Small Business, they do trillions of dollars of business every year they generate revenue that helps repair our roads and pay our teachers and you know for all those who are are no of Small Business owners, the thing i love about too, is that youre not only leaders in business, you are civic leader you are community leaders, you are mentors, you hire locally you believe in the community in your part of the glue of the fabric, that holds communities together. You provide the local Meetings Space you are the types of folks where you know who your regulars are and when someones walking in the door and you can tell theyve had a bad day. You know, exactly what they need . Isnt that the best and thats so many entrepreneurs across the country who take the incredible Leap Of Faith that is required to start a Small Business. Folks who put their Life Savings on the line and worked through the week he games and holidays because they arent just building a business, theyre pursuing the dream theyreuilding a better future for their employees and for the people they love in their community. And by extension, their building a stronger middle middleclass, and they stronger america for us all and so all of this is why as president , one of my highest priorities will be to strengthen americas Small Businesses and here, i am in New Hampshire to announce a few elements of my plan to do that so first, were going to help more Small Businesses and innovators get off the ground now, im setting what some im sure were going to call it very ambitious goal, but you know what i think we you should admire ambition in Each Other so i want to see 25 Million new Small Business applications by The End of my first term and to help achieve this, we will lower the cost of starting a new business. So heres the thing on average, it costs about 40,000 to start a new business its in america that is a great financial barrier for a lot of folks. And it can hold entrepreneurs back and the current Tax Deduction for startup is just 5,000 okay. So then you got to make up the delta their got to figure out how youre going to do that. Not everyone has access to that kind of Wealth And Capital so part of my plan is we will expand the Tax Deduction for startups to 50,000 its essentially a Tax Cut for starting a Small Business second, my plan will help existing Small Businesses grow. We will provide low and no Interest Loans to Small Businesses that want to expand. And we will, and this is very important cut the Red Tape that can make starting and growing a Small Business more difficult than it needs to be more difficult than it needs to be for example, we will make it cheaper and easier for Small Businesses to file their taxes similar similar to how individuals can take a standard deduction i said to my Team Kind of like im going to date myself again because they no longer do it, but kind of like you remember, the 1040 ez, like that kind of idea, right . Like lynchs take away some of the bureaucracy in the process to make it easier for people to actually do something thats going to benefit our entire economy third my plan will invest in Small Businesses and innovators threw throughout america. And heres why we know that talents exist everywhere in our country from rural towns to City Centers but not everyone has access to the financing to venture Capital Or Expert advice its not that they dont have the skills. Its thy rkthic. Its access to these resources. So under my plan, we will expand access to venture capital. We will support Innovation Hubs and business you batters. And we will increase federal contracts with Small Businesses we will. Have a particular focus on Small Businesses in rural communities like right here in High School<\/a> in Barrow County<\/a>, and aerial footage of the campus showing students actually forming right here in The End<\/a>zone of the football field, a prayer circle. Right now authorities are working to reunite students with the families. Many describing a terrifying moment that they started hearing gunshots\u25a0 i heard screaming in everything at first. I thought it was like someone just like playing around in the hallways or something. I thought it was like someone just yelling or something. So i didnt think much of it, but then it got harder than noise kept getting louder and louder. And i was like, no no guy, like i told everybody to get down, get down, because this like you dont joke around with that. So then like we were weve gotten a corn, some girls started crying and then i was like calm down and then the teacher, which he was shaking were following a number of angles here.

And we will increase federal contracts with Small Business<\/a>es we will. Have a particular focus on Small Business<\/a>es in rural communities like right here in New Hampshire<\/a> finally, my plan will make our Tax Code<\/a> more fair, while also prioritizing investments and innovation. So let us be clear billionaires and big corporations must pay their fair share in taxes thing. Heres the thing does not right that those who can most afford it are often paying a lower Tax Rate<\/a> than our teachers and our nurses and our firefighters right . Its just not right so thats why i support a billionaire minimum tax and corporations paying their fair share and while we ensure that the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share, we will tax Capital Gains<\/a> at a rate that rewards investment in americas innovators founders, and Small Business<\/a>es so heres the detail. If you earn 1 Million<\/a> a year are more the Tax Rate<\/a> on your longterm Capital Gains<\/a> will be 28 . Under my plan because we know when the government encourages investment, it leads to broad economic growth and it creates jobs which makes our economy stronger now compare that to what Donald Trump<\/a> plans he intends to cut off federal programs that give loans to Small Business<\/a>es he plans to give billionaires massive Tax Cut<\/a>s and to cut corporate taxes by over 1 trillion. Even as they pull in record profits his plans will add more than 5 Trillion<\/a> to the national debt","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"archive.org","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","width":"800","height":"600","url":"\/\/ia800602.us.archive.org\/4\/items\/CNNW_20240904_190000_CNN_News_Central\/CNNW_20240904_190000_CNN_News_Central.thumbs\/CNNW_20240904_190000_CNN_News_Central_000001.jpg"}},"autauthor":{"@type":"Organization"},"author":{"sameAs":"archive.org","name":"archive.org"}}],"coverageEndTime":"20240905T12:35:10+00:00"}
