When we begin to uncover local time, well bring you pictures and developments as they happen. As we take a live look outside, we are going to see the temperatures that are going to be warming up as we go into the next several days. Well take a look at that in the forecast coming up. Food.

Internet for one everyday simple price and no extra monthly fees. Press secretar we continue to follow breaking news this morning. In fact, these are live pictures from the white house this morning where Sarah Huckabee sanders is addressing the media. Lets listen in. This is a moment that this is a time when this should not be a political discussion, a policy discussion. Does he believe that he could bring something new to the gun debate that has been, you know, i guess, locked into typical politics for so many years. No, i think today is a day of reflection, a day of mourning, a day of gratefulness for those that were saved. And i think there will be certainly time for that policy discussion to take police. But thats not the place we are in at this moment. But certainly i think there is a time for that to happen. Before he was elected president , in some 15 or 16 years ago, he did have a different view on guns that he had during the campaign. Does he believe that this is something that he could lead a bipartisan effort on at some point . And at what point would that be appropriate . I think thats something we can talk about in the coming days and see what that looks like moving forward. I think one of the things that we dont want to do is try to create laws that wont create or stop these types of things from happening. I think if you look to chicago where you had had over 4,000 victims of gun related crimes last year, they have the strict es gun laws in the country, but that hasnt helped there. But when the time comes for those conversations to take place, then i think we need to look at things that may actually have the real impact. Matthew . Thank you, sarah. On puerto rico, can you tell us about president s aims for tomorrow . And do you expect any tension coming his comments this weekend . Well continue to monitor that in the newsroom. White House Press Briefing that we were talking about las vegas. Of course the idea of gun control comes up, but not just to deal with yet because dealing with the tragedy. All right.

And, jay, we all heard and saw chaos happening, and heard the gunfire. What is the mood like now in las vegas . Reporter stunned, somber, marcus, laura, and a lot of people trying to understand what happened. Not only those that are here on the ground, but around the country and around the world. I want to give you an idea whats happening right now. The strip still locked down as the truck moves through, you can see traffic moving across las vegas boulevard, but past tropicana to the south no one moving in that direction. You can see the police bar a kad where the attack took place and where the massive Investigation Continues right now. Fbi and homeland security, state, local police all involved in trying to understand how and why all of this was carried out. Now, look, we are learning some details from this investigation. First of all, that the man accused here, Stephen Paddock was in his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay four days prior to this attack. And when it happened he shot out two of the windows in that room to give him two different shooting positions. Fbi stressing that he has no ties to any overseas organization. We do know over the last couple weeks on a bit of a gambling spree. But in recent weeks he had been gambling more than 10,000 a day on several days. Sop of those days more than 20 or 30,000. No break down of wins or losses as far as gambling is concerned. But ilgts something that officials are looking at. Hes gone through the home in mesquite, nevada, which is about hour and a half away, and looked at his home and cars. And this is going to be a very long and difficult investigation here. No doubt. So many questions to be answered. I think the big one was why . What was his motive behind that . And right now we dont know, do we, jay . Reporter yeah, we dont, laura. And we talked to his Family Members who say there was nothing that would have indicated that this was any even remote possibility. That he had no strong religious believes or political itch ooh you that may have led into this. So they are like the rest of the country and much of the world trying to understand why this happened. Ive talked with fbi investigators. Retired fbi who say you have to remember it could have been the smallest of things that could have sparked this and made him snap. And thats been the case in other Mass Shootings in this country. But there has never been one like this, at least 58 dead and more than 500 wounded. Its interesting to hear you say about the gambling spree, i know some say this linked all of this and what happened here. Certainly well be following this story. Thanks so much for that. Countr
