not be releasing a full list of the victims' names until all members can be properly notified. >> i know you were here all yesterday and will be there today. thank you very much. friends and students that we've talked to have told us a lot more about this shooter from what we've heard so far. we're going to have more on that in just a moment. just a little while ago, i did speak with jim gard who's a math teacher. he locked himself and several students inside his classroom during what was happening and he talked about what happened yesterday afternoon. >> right around 2:20, i heard the fire alarm go off, so i told the kids, i said, hang out for a second. this could be something accidental. then we got an announcement that said, okay, evacuate the building about ten seconds later. i opened the door, the kids took off. the kids were great. they were very orderly. as i was ready to leave, we hear all these popping sounds. it sounded like firecrackers and we heard mr. porter came on again and said code red get back in the room, so i yelled to the kids, i go, let's get back in here. there were five or six kids, i got them right back in. they asked what was happening. i said, i don't know. let's assume it's a drill. and really 20 minutes later we knew it wasn't. >> so the kids went where? >> they were in my room. now, all the other kids -- what i did was went on my e-mail and a lot of teachers were e-mailing these children are with me, these children are with me and these are who i don't have. i put all who i had and the others who were absent and the others who were missing to try to find out where they are. the other kids had cell phones. we were all texting and the ten of the 13 -- the other three we didn't know but we found them later on at 4:00 we got relief. >> we're hearing stories about many teachers like you who tried to protect the students, in some cases took them in closets, in some cases may have shielded these students. can you talk about your fellow teachers and how they're doing this morning? >> i only know that our -- i don't know what news is out there or what names is out there, but one of our teachers was apparently -- well two of them was shot and killed while standing in front of kids. i don't know if his name is out. it doesn't surprise me. i've known him since i got here in 2008. he was fantastic. he went here. he was an eagle. he was a great guy. >> friends and students are describing to us the suspect as a troubled violent teenager before he was kicked out of stoneman douglas high. one student who knew nik cruz said he had threatened other students and overnight the fbi began searching the home here where cruz live. that's where jericka duncan is this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. the house you're talking about is behind me and around the corner. that's where cruz was most recently staying. according to the attorney for the family, he was there for a month and a half. he had been bouncing around since the death of his mother back in november. as you mentioned students and friends were surprised by all this. they knew cruz had a troubled past. but they never thought this 5'7", 130-pound teen was capable of such a massacre. as investigators searched through the home where nikolas cruz lived, new details are emerging about the 19-year-old's unsettled past. >> they let him live here because he didn't have somewhere to live. >> reporter: the attorney says the family gave him a place to stay. >> they can't believe someone who lived in their home for this relatively short period of time was capable of such a horrible, horrible act. >> reporter: cruz was getting an education and worked at the dollar store as a cashier. he illegally purchased the ar-15 used in attack. after the shooting students described cruz as a loaner who struggled in school. >> a lot of people were saying it was going to be him. a lot of kids said he would be the one to shoot up the school. it turns out, you know, everyone predicted it. >> reporter: paul gold lived next door to cruz in parkland and said the death of his adopted mother had a major impact. >> at times he had so much anger inside of him. >> reporter: cruz complained about being bullied and picked on at school. >> kids mistreated and obviously he wasn't given the best hand in line. >> when you see that picture, how does it make you feel? >> it makes me sick. it makes me sick to think he would do something like that. >> reporter: gold says cruz's adopted mother had him in counseling but that that ended after her death. meanwhile cruz is being held right now at the broward county sheriff's office. jeff? jericka, thanks. for now, fran townsend is with us. sh is our cbs news senior national security analyst. she was homeland security and counterterrorism adviser for president george w. bush. welcome, fran. what are investigators trying to find out about the shooter? >> they want to understand both his mental history. we know there was this report from a video blogger on youtube back in november identifying cruz to the fbi. difficult when i say -- identifying, he identified the comment. he was interviewed. the video blogger asked if he knew him. he said, no, he didn't know him. it was reported but taken down. it reports to a host of issues. for one, when we think of homeland security, we think of terrorism issues, natural disasters. we don't think of school shootings. right now when you think of this, this is the 18th scoot sh school shooting. last year we had sneechb do we need to rethink what homeland security really means? >> i think that's exactly right, gayle. imagine for a moment, if the shooter was a muslim, we would be having a different kind of conversation. how wrong does that feel? this ought to be at the top of the list of home zurt threats bus we have an obligation to protect our children. even if we have a political difference, it's time to put that aside. >> i'm surprised about the ar-15. they cost about $2,000. that's a lot for a person working at a dollar store. the ar-15 has been used in six of the deadliest massacres. newtown, san bernardino, pulse shooting in orlando, sutherland springs. do we need to have changes at the atf about who can buy this weapon? >> look, norah. you know better than anybody. there has been debates about put ing -- the assault rifle was really intended for military use, right? i think of that from my time in government being the u.s. military overseas. we understand people in law enforcement have an absolute need for it. we had an assault weapons ban. it expired. and the politicians in washington don't seem to be having that. >> should a 19-year-old kicked out of school be able to buy that gun is the question. >> the one other issue i want to raise this morning is the social media companies. in this case, youtube should have taken that comment down that identified him. >> just to clarify, that comment, i'm going to be a professional shooter. >> right. they took that down, but they need to do more, right? they need to provide resources, people who go hunting on their networks, youtube, facebook, instagram. find this stuff -- they don't just take it duh but take it down and present it to law enforcement so they can prevent it. >> the man who saw it said he took it to the fbi and was interviewed. but did it go anywhere else from there? did anybody follow up with nikolas cruz? >> we don't know if they could identify him. that's kmorn name. did they understand he had other social media accounts that might have triggered more concern. >> thank you, fran. >> thank you. president trump broke his silence on domestic violence a week after an aide resigned amid spousal abuse

improve school safety funding. they have been asking for more money for the past eight year. florida school districts share $64.4 million for safety and security. they're supposed to use the money for a variety of programs but more than 80% goes to school resource officers. many of the schools use all of the money for resource officers. the fda reveals the first blood test to detect tests for

employment and clearance procedures on his watch. attempts by white house press staff to do so have proven unsuccessful and now a top house republican is investigating. >> i am totally opposed to domestic violence of any kind. everyone knows that. >> president trump broke his silence on domestic a bous a week after his top aide rob porter resign after accusations of abuse by two ex-wives, charges porter denies. >> it almost wouldn't have to be said. now you hear it. but you all know it. >> the porter scandal has left the west wing exhausted, demoralized, and distrustful. one white house staffer said, quote, they're not telling us the truth. chief of staff john kelly and ron mcgahn had more than they were willing to acknowledge. trey gowdy launched an investigation into white house decision on porter's employment and security clearance saying he wants answers from kelly and mcgahn. >> i cannot fathom how someone if they had access to this information and the photographs could extend an offer of emt employment to someone with this in their background. >> some report the number of those who were awaiting security clearance was more than 100 including ivanka trump and jared kushner. interim security clearance for lower level officials is not uncommon even after all this time in office. but it would be highly unusual, gayle, for top white house officials not to have

>> yes. my understanding and information i have from law enforcement is that he arrived on the campus possibly through an uber driver that dropped him off. he arrived around the time of dismissal, entered the building, began to fire into the building. smoke from the fire also set off the fire alarm. he proceeded through the two floors of the building and also at the end discarded his firearm and gear that he had on and exited the building along with students who were evacuating. he was apprehended about a mile or so from the school. i think law enforcement did a tremendous job. the response has been outstanding and we continue to work with them as we investigate this thing. yesterday we obviously continued to focus on our students and families as our highest priority. we provided counseling to them. we transitioned students back with their families. and law enforcement also interviewed students and faculty to gather information regarding this tragedy. >> well, please know our condolences are with you and your community. our hearts are heavy, too, given what has happened. thank you, robert runcie, for joining us. >> thank you. rex tillerson often shies away from the media but he spoke o our mar yet brennan before his trip to the middle >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" at 8:00 is sponsored by liberty mutual insurance. liberty stands with you. olympian ken is known for rescuing dogs in the winner to sochi games. ahead the openenly gay skier reflects on down kerring his journey and conquering his fears. you're watching "cbs this morning." i'm on the move and sometimes, i don'teat the w. so, i drink boost. boost high protein nutritional drink has 15 grams of protein to help maintain muscle and 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d. boost high protein be up for it each year sarah climbs thamount everest. of because each day she chooses to take the stairs. at work, at home... even on the escalator. that can be hard on her lower body, so now she does it with dr. scholl's orthotics. clinically proven to relieve and prevent foot, knee or lower back pain, by reducing the shock and stress that travel up her body with every step she takes. so keep on climbing, sarah. you're killing it. dr. scholl's. born to move. i'm and i'm an emt.erer when i get a migraine at work, it's debilitating. if i call out with a migraine, that's one less ambulance to serve a community. i just don't want to let these people down. excedrin migraine. relief that works as hard as you do. unlike ordinary toothpaste, colgate total fights bacteria on teeth, tongue, cheeks and gums. giving you the confidence of a healthier mouth. colgate total. be totally ready for life.

>> i had asked you whether you thought "60 minutes" viewers would have this presidential run thing -- >> i think if i still was leaving the question out there and hadn't formally said i am not running for president of the united states -- >> and you have done that? >> yeah. did you miss that? >> i mean i -- there was a lot of other things too. there was gayle and stedman. >> i actually will say this. when there was so much talk about it and gayle was like every day saying you should think about it. you always say when things show up, you should think about it. i had a lot of wealthy men calling me, telling me they could -- would run my campaign and raise a billion dollars for me. i think that when you have that many people whose opinions you value coming at you, it's worthy of thinking about. i've never looked outside for other people to tell me when something -- when i should be making a move. and wouldn't i know? because if god actually want me to run, wouldn't god kind of tell me? and i haven't heard that. i do feel i have a responsibility as a person who has a big voice in this country to use it to promote justice and kindness and good will in the world. but it never has felt to me that that was supposed to be political. and it still does not feel that to me. so i am actually humbled by the fact that people think that i could be a leader of the free world. but it's just not in my spirit. it's not my dna. >> gayle? no, right? >> that's what she said. all i'll say is this. we got so much reaction at the magazine -- my other job -- for democrats, republicans, black, white that said, oprah, you really should think about this. and i would show her these letters. everywhere she goes today, everywhere, people still come up to her and say -- my earring just dropped. people still come up to her and say, will you at least consider it. when she says it's not in her dna, i believe she feels that. i don't believe anybody should be convinced to run for president. i don't. she will say one great speech doesn't mean you should be president of the united states. but i know she cares about the this country, believes in human connection, and i know she knows how to bring people together as you'll see on the "60 minutes" piece on sunday. >> that thing about the dna thing, presidents say unless you have that saying when it all goes wrong, it all goes terrible, that thing you find nourishment in, you're really in a tough place. she's thinking about the job that you actually have to do. >> that's right. and being the president of the united states have very difficult. >> she can't consider running for president and being on "60 minutes." you can't do those two things. >> or she can leave "60 minutes." >> or her work with weight watchers. she's continuing her business empi empire. >> there would be a lot of the consider if she decides to do that. >> now we know you've been encouraging her to do that. >> yes, i have. my name is gayle, g-a-y-l-e. yes, i have. >> i look forward to "60 minutes." she goes back and interviews the same people. >> she goes back to see if their views changed or have not changed and if they get along. >> now that we're more than a year into trump's presidency. >> that's light. >> you can watch it here at 7:00. gus kenworthy struggled with deeper issues. >> competitors, even friends that would say things that were so homophobic and i don't think they realized necessarily the impact it was having on me because i was in the closet. i think that's what made me squared to come out. >> how the extreme threat went from ashamed of who he the u.s. -- let me try that again. the u.s. men's flip style team is shooting for a repeat performance at this year's olympic performance. the american men participated in the first free ski slopestyle contest. gus kenworthy won. >> kenworthy is now one of the first openly gay men to compete for the u.s. in the winter game. figure skater adam rippon is also gay. he made headlines by announcing he would not attend the traditional team trip to the white house because of the lgbt policies. gus kenworthy spoke about the new role he's assumed. >> gus kenworthy let with a silver medal and a pack of stray dogs he rescued. what pestered him is what he didn't do at the last olympics. he may not have spoken out about russia's anti-gay policies then but he's now taking on a new role. >> i carry a burden. i think there's a pressure on me. it presents an amazing opportunity and it kind of givens us a chance to shed people's misconceptions and just kind of break down barriers. >> and biases? >> exactly. >> reporter: for gus kenworthy, free skiing is like a dance. he masters the delicate balance of precision, technique, and control, making it all look effortless. >> one more jump. does he have the switch double ten. >> reporter: the 26-year-old british born colorado-bred star learned to ski shortly after learning to walk. today the extreme athlete is embracing his role off the mountain as an advocate for the lgbt community. >> do you like being the pioneer? >> i think it's a bit of a trade-off. i think when i was a kid it would have been easier if i had someone who was out and gay and successful in their support, but not having that, realize the need for the support. i want to be that person, that beacon of light for kids in sports. >> reporter: kenworthy's ability on the sport is indisputable. h has rubber bones as he calls it. but as the lead athlete in the testosterone filled sport coming out was frightening. >> friends would say things that were so homophobic. i don't think they realized necessary will i the impact it had on me because i was in the closet. i think that's what made me really scared to come out. >> reporter: the turned point came after he won a silver medal in sochi. a reporter asked him to name his celebrity crush. in a panic he said pop star miley cyrus. >> i was burdened by being in the closet. i think before i was lying by omission. then i realized i didn't want to be in the closet anymore. i didn't want to be ashamed of who i was. >> reporter: in 2015 after winning his fifth straight title, gus kenworthy came out on the cover of espn, the magazine. >> how terrifying was that?
