Eva . Marcus, thank you. Terrifying moments as bullets started flying. Joining us now from el paso is al hall. Al, you came facetoface with the shooter. Yes, i was. I seen him as he aimed Assault Rifle ak47 towards me as he entered the store. And how did you manage to escape him unharmed . From Prior Experience i kind of knew it took him a couple of seconds for him to raise his gun to aim towards me directly, so i had enough time to duck down with the person next to me and then take cover and run off and take cover again. As you were there, did it appear the shooter was targeting specific people or was that shooter just shooting randomly . At first when he entered the store he gave me a smirk so i knew and aimed directly towards me. So it was directly to me. Then he hit the person next to me. They were on the floor and then after that i kind of feel like i was still targeted so i kept moving. Then after i lost the person, the shooter, then apparently after that he was shooting generally towards everybody. What goes through your head when someone walks into a walmart . I mean, thats a place that so many people go to on a saturday morning. What went through my head, the first thing was i heard the shots so i assumed it was firecrackers. Then i noticed there was no pattern so i assumed it was a handgun, maybe an adolescent that was just shooting off rounds of a handgun. Then i heard a burst of 60 rounds and i knew it was an Assault Rifle or automatic weapon. At that point, thats when i became fragile to the situation, a little frantic. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all those people there in el paso, texas. Thank you so much, al, for joining us. No problem. Have a good day. Harrowing story.

Reporter one womans heroic actions saved dozens of terrified victims. I probably shouted theyre shooting, get out. I believe i pushed people out of the exit.

Its unclear if hes cooperating with Law Enforcement right now but Authorities Say that the interview process is still ongoing, and that they are searching his house and social media history for answers. As you have heard earlier, sources are telling us that his goal was to, quote, shoot as many mexicans as possible, so the possibility, whit, that this massacre was racially motivated certainly is a leading theory for investigators right now.

And the El Paso Police chief is saying that investigators are looking into what he is calling a manifesto, and its believed to have been written by the shooter, whit, saying that it shows a possible nexus to a hate crime.

Reporter it was an emotional response from a president ial candidate horrified by yet another mass shooting. This one in the community he calls home. Former congressman beto orourke shifting his focus, turning from making a pitch to voters in las vegas when i was on the City Council Reporter to comforting families of victims at a hospital in el paso, joining other candidates in calling out President Trumps rhetoric as they push for stricter gun control. He is a racist and he stokes racism in this country. The president of the United States is condoning white nationalism. Reporter former Vice President joe biden also speaking out against gun violence. This is a sickness. This is well beyond anything that we should be tolerating. Reporter and senator Bernie Sanders taking a moment of silence. To keep those families in mind. Reporter for victims at his campaign stop. People that are gun owners, or nongun owners, they believe in expanded and universal background checks, ending the gun show loophole and also banning, in my view, assault weapons.

Rachel scott in las vegas, thank you. Lets bring in abcs chief White House CorrespondentJonathan Karl whos going to be hosting this week later this morning. Jon, good morning. Right now were in the middle of an all too familiar macabre dance that we do as a country after these Mass Shootings where democratic politicians come out and call for new legislation on guns and then essentially nothing happens. So is there any reason to believe that this time could be different . You know, dan, i covered day in and day out of the battle after sandy hook and i would never have predicted in the midst of that that congress would end up doing absolutely nothing on this. So its hard to say that it will change this time, but ive got to tell you there are indications that the political winds on this have changed. If you look at the polling, dan, just this past may, there was a poll that showed 94 of voters are in favor of universal background checks, 94 . 63 in favor of a ban on assault weapons on assault style weapons. So the atmosphere has changed. And one other thing, if you look at the midterm elections and this is different. In the midterm elections in 2018, you saw a large number of candidates running explicitly on platforms of strengthening gun laws and winning. Several of the democrats who are running for president right now are tying President Trump to these Mass Shootings. Take a listen to what they are saying. Does any of this fall at the feet of President Donald Trump and his rhetoric thats been growing over the last couple of weeks, and his alleged racist tweets and other rhetoric . Yes. Weve had a rise in hate crimes every single one of the last three years during an administration where you have a president whos called mexicans rapists and criminals. Is it fair, jon, to tie the president to this violence . Well, dan, whether or not its fair, hes going to have to answer those questions. The bottom line is this president has had rhetoric on immigration and on immigrants that has been deeply divisive, and this is going to be something that he is going to have to answer for. Something were going to hear a lot about on the campaign trail, no question about it. Jon karl, i know youre going to be talking about it a lot this morning. As a reminder, jon has a big
