Put them back on a path of hope. She got a glimpse of the gunman as he was leaving the scene, and then what she saw next is something she will never forget. Thats Governor Greg Abbott there. Cnns ed lavandera is in el paso i was waiting for him to come out, but it was taking too long, right now. This is takng on a whole new and then i heard the first one. Dimension now as federal so i thought, whats going on . Officials are saying theyre not only going to treat this mass killing as a possible hate but it was so loud. Crime, but also an act of very loud. And then i saw everybody dropping. Domestic terrorism. Thats when i just ran in there, reporter absolutely. Like trying to, but then i saw him run this way, so i chased and that is part of the news him. But i thought he got shot. That is sending shock waves and a great deal of concern through and the baby who was in there . This border town here that has my nephew. Theres a baby that some man really been at the center of the immigration debate for much of carried that got shot. The guy just gave it to the the last year and a half. But it is also a city, alex, ambulance. I dont know. That has prided itself on being it confused me. One of the safest cities in america and that is why news it was awful. Reporter natalie, miss like what happened here today has come at such a horrific time romero there was shaking as she recounted that story of seeing this man walk out of the walmart and sent horrific shock waves holding a baby covered in blood through the community. We are standing just behind the and handing this child off to a walmart where investigators paramedic who was there at the still have the entire area scene and racing away. Cordoned off. Those are the images and theyre there are dozens of cars still engrained in many of these left in the parking lot of this witnesses and victims minds as walmart, which captures the they grapple with the pain and the horror of what they scene of how packed this was experienced today. This morning, a routine saturday natalie . Yeah, and ed, how much are police talking about how the morning where thousands of shooter carried this out . People come and go through this if i understand, it it seems it started there in the parking lot walmart. Of the walmart. We hear of mexican nationals he entered the walmart. Do you know how far he got into that come to shop at a walmart that store, how long he stayed like this who were killed and in there, and where was he wounded inside. Ultimately apprehended . One family in particular that we spoke with, the family of 8 reporter he was apprehended not too far from the scene. Ofyearoo this is kind of on the eastern edge of el paso. This is a Shopping Center that 86yearold ang i i ie ingelsby is incredibly packed. Many days of the week. Especially on a saturday. As many people come from across the border in mexico to come shop here. The exact details of how far into the store this gunman made family says this many hours it, i havent been able to fully later they still have not heard piece together, quite understand from her and they fear the worst. So far we stayed at mcarthur exactly. That is something were still trying to figure out. But in some of the video clips school, we went to school there and my niece took me to pebble that weve heard you can hear hills, she wasnt there, the bus the gunfire steady and was empty, all the people were gone that lived. Methodical. I asked the cops at mcarthur, i one shot right after the other. It didnt sound like a frantic want to know where my mom is, where are the people that in spray of bullets, but it sounded in one of the clips that id heard earlier today that it was walmart . Where did you put them all . A slow and methodical pace of where have they all gone . I just want to find my mom. The shooting. I spoke with one Law Enforcement somebody needs to tell me where she is, i want to know is she analyst, Josh Campbell, who dead or alive or is she still in works with us, he thought that might kind of give us an idea walmart . I need to find her and this is the only way many were going to that it was have targeted and as the gunman was making his way do it. That desperation and anxiety through there, identifying a victim and carrying out the attack that way. Just difficult to listen to and many witnesses walking away from that is all still part of the this scene with the same thing that were trying to get a better hold of. Experience. But thats some of the details we spoke with a woman named that weve been able to put donald trump davi rom together at this point. Well, ed, thank you. We know these are agonizing hours for family members that dont know yet if their loved ones are safe that they havent heard from. Ed lavandera there at the scene. Ed, thank you. And well be talking more about airplane oromero, she said the image she can get out the shooter and perhaps the of her mind. Motives of the shooter in a i was waiting for him to come moment. But we want to talk more about out but it was taking too long what people witnessed, what they and i heard the first one and i went through. A merchant near the walmart was like whats going on . Tells cnn she tried to comfort but it was so loud, very loud. Victims who ran into her store. And then i just saw everybody Tabitha Estrada says many of dropping. So much thats when i just ran them were from mexico and in there like trying to but then understandably frightened. I saw him run this way so i i was at work, so i had to chased him. I thought he got shot. Pull people into the store, and who was him . My my my nephew. I hay couple customers in my store, and i had to close and there was a baby that some man lock the door and i had to pull carried that got shot, the guy them into the back and we just had to sit there and wait to see just gave him to the ambulance. What happened. I didnt want to freak out my i dont know. Customers. So i was trying to reassure them confused. It was awful. They were going to be okay too. Because i knew that i had family that i could turn to but like my alex, that image of a man holding a baby covered in blood and passing that baby off to a customers were from over the border. Paramedic who was arriving at so they had it harder because the scene, many of those people they were going to have to find a way to get their family to left wondering what happened and what kind of condition the people who were closest around find out what was going on. Reactions coming in beyond el them, what kind of condition theyre in tonight and thats what many people are still paso. Politicians on both sides of the aisle are condemning this scrambling to figure out. Shooting, including u. S. President trump. Alex. Its heartbreaking to listen on twitter he said the attack was not only tragic, it was an to, ed. Act of cowardice. We can see theres still lots of activity behind you. He added there are no reasons or excuses that will ever we know youre going to stay on justify killing innocent this story. Thanks very much. I want to bring in our cnn people. The president ial candidate and Law Enforcement analyst charles el paso native beto orourke out ramsey, former washington, d. C. Mr. Trump after the shooting. Police chief. Weve been talking all evening he suggested the president s about how this went down, about rhetoric against minorities may have played a role in the the suspects and what clues that authorities might be looking attack. Yes. Weve had a rise in hate crimes, into. But when you look at how this every single one of the last happened, when you look at the fact that this was someone from three years. During an administration where over 600 miles away who drove you have a president whos called mexicans rapists and uninterrupted to el paso and walked into what is an criminals. Though mexican immigrants commit crimes at a far lower rate than incredibly soft target those born here in the country. Admittedly with thousands of people inside, is there anything he has tried to make us afraid of them, to some real effect and that the authorities could have done to stop a shooting like this . Well, i dont know. Consequence. Attempting to ban all muslims from this country. The day he signed that executive order the mosque in victoria, texas was burned to the ground. More information will come out over time. You certainly dont have a crystal ball. When you start looking back at those chants we heard in greenville, north carolina, something, its kind of easy to send her back. Talking about a fellow american predict maybe we should have done this or maybe weep should citizens duly elected to have done that. The bottom line is this guy represent their constituents in the congress who happen to be drove all the way from allen, women of color. He is a racist, and he stokes texas. How many soft targets did he racism in this country, and it pass up just to get to el paso does not just offend our and that one walmart. Sensibilities, it fundamentally he wanted to be at the border. Changes the character of this whatever he wanted to do, he wanted to do it there and country and it leads to nowhere else. I dont know what was online, violence. And again, there are still what could have been seen, details that we are waiting on. Wasnt seen. But im just following the lead that ive heard from the el paso obviously somebody saw it and didnt notify authorities. Police department where they say but well find all that out there are strong indications later on. But the bottom line is weve got a lot of people on the fringe, that this shooter wrote that were in a very toxic manifesto and that this was inspired by his hatred of people here in this community. Environment right now, a lot of heated rhetoric, especially when as often happens after these it comes to immigration and the mass shootings, politicians now border. Both from very highlevel demanding changes to americas laws. On twitter candidate Pete Buttigieg said these attacks are elected officials and as well as media personalities and people a form of White Nationalist who go to rallies and start terrorism that are being abetted chanting racist things. By weak gun laws. This is not good as a country. Republican senator lindsey our Congress Needs to do graham called for new legislation to deal with those something and come together to who present a danger to start having hearings to do themselves and others. He also said the massacre was something. But theyre useless. Sick and senseless, a sentiment the u. S. Congress is not going shared by former Vice President to do anything. When it is over, its going to joe biden. Be over. I can say without fear of if sandy hook didnt move the needle, dont think this is going to move it because its not. Contradiction, enough is enough is enough. Sandy hook was all children its been enough for the past and one takener. Five years. This is a sickness. Lets bring in agent Josh Campbell. Josh is on the scene. Sources are telling you that the this is well beyond anything that we should be tolerating. Fbi is now opening a domestic terror investigation. Cnn Law Enforcement analyst what is the significance of Josh Campbell is in el paso for us. Josh, hello to you. That . Law enforcement official lets talk about the suspect and tells us the bureau as opened a what we know about this manifesto and his perhaps his motives. Domestic terrorism investigation that will run concurrently to the state investigation. The state is still in charge reporter yeah, natalie, were learning new details about here. But the fbi has opened a him. 21yearold white male from concurrent case to look into the texas. There are so many questions that we have right now that we dont possible motivation of the shooter to include ideology, if have answers to, one of which, we know that hes a resident of a city called allen, texas, theres any kind hate crime angle to this, especially which is some 650 miles from looking into this manifesto, where we are here in el paso at trying to get into the mindset the scene of the crime. Of the shooter, was this someone behind me is the walmart where the carnage took place. Who came here causing mass loss of life based on hate. Now, questions for the federal government has a investigators, obviously, there host of resources they can bring are many, but why a person would to bear. Travel from that far distance last week we were covering here to this location to a another mass shooting and the fbi also providing resources. Border city in order to conduct this mass attack. They provided their profilers we do know there were 20 people that were killed tragically at from the Behavioral Analysis the scene behind me and dozens unit at quantico. That were injured. The subject was taken into we can bet there will be a host of resources the federal custody by Law Enforcement government will be bringing to officers. Hes alive. Bear. One other question is trying to were told there are different determine whether or not hes being cooperative. Satellite offices around texas sending resources here and fbi we have seen josh, im going to have to interrupt. Im so sorry. Assets at the headquarters in but were having difficulty washington are standing by to hearing you with the rainstorm. Deploy to this location should were going to get back to you and talk more about this as soon they get any requests. As the rain clears up a little charles, back to the fact bit. Well have much more coverage that this is such a soft target, right after this break. What can be done in this case there was people were running from inside the mall to di in. Reporter well, everybody is going to be looking at security and ways to step it up. Dillards. Store managers said tell a Shopping Mall is difficult to everybody to evacuate. So we had to stay a little behind, make sure everybody was out. Then the police came in. Your choices make you. Secure. About a month ago they had an active Shooter Drill there. The police have them on a regular basis. Hopefully they coordinate with private security and so forth so theyre all on the same page if Something Like this happens. But the reality is these malls are absolutely enormous and there are so many ways in and out of the mall that makes it difficult. Certainly it will be reviewed, not just in ploep bel paso but the country. It wont be along before were choose boldly. Looking at the major shopping feria haircolor by loreal. Pure dyes, with triple highlights. Season with thanksgiving and chris mat. Multifaceted, shimmering color weve had churches, schools. With multiple tones in every strand. Up never know whats going to be live in color. Live in feria. The next target and that makes by loreal. It very, very difficult. Available at walmart. Josh, right now because the shooter was taken alive, they are diving into the shooters excuse me. Uh. Do you mind. Being a motour . Background, of course what hes written in this manifesto. What are they going to be what could be better than being a motour . Looking for . What are they going to be asking him . What are they going to be asking the real question is. Themselves about how they can stop someone like him in the do you mind not being a motour . Future . All good questions, alex. And right now more questions than answers for us. I do. Weve seen incidents in the past for those who were born to ride, theres progressive. Where a shooter either decides to engage with Law Enforcement and is shot dead. We seen instances where the shooter decides to take his or her own life and this is that instance where they have the person in custody, which means they potentially have the ability to glean Important Information that can help them get to that motivation. If this person is proud of what he did, he may be willingly telling Law Enforcement interrogators what exactly he was doing, why he came here. There may be an inn stance where he decides to clam up and doesnt cooperate with Law Enforcement becauses they all part of that investigative interview, again, to get into he is mindset. I do. [ text notification now that you have] new dr. Scholls massaging gel advanced insoles theyll be comparing what he says compare to the digital with softer, bouncier gel waves, youll move over 10 more than before. Media conversation that is currently under way. The fbi and local law dr. Scholls. Born to move. Enforcement will be digging into those again to get to the picture of what was in his mind ands will, who are the people in his orbit . Did he have friends . Associates . That will all be part of that investigation. And theres always a fear that someone will try to represent lip kate this and use this as a copy khat. Josh campbell, charles ramsey, thank you very much.

Try new lash serum solution. Greg abbott of course spoke from from loreal paris. The scene. He said the shooter could face capital murder and hate crime charges. The fbi has also opened a domestic terror investigation. Lets talk about that now with our Cnn National Security analyst joining us from boston, juliette kayyem, former assistant secretary of the u. S. Department of homeland security. Juliette, lets talk about what were learning from this shooter and this supposed manifesto. I actually loathe that word. That this person posted talking about his motives. What can you glean from what [upbeat music] no matter how much you clean, youre hearing about it . Does your house still smell stuffy . From what were hearing about it and at least whats being thats because your home is filled with soft surfaces stated by our reporters, so ill stick to what were reporting, that trap odors and release them back into the room. This was a document that was so, try febreze fabric refresher loaded onto 4chan, a very, febreze finds odors trapped in fabrics very essentially just a bubbles popping and cleans them away as it dries. Violent cesspool of racial use febreze every time you tidy up to keep your whole house smelling fresh air clean. Animosity. Right before the killings began. Fabric refresher even works for clothes and it was focused, and i think you want to wear another day. Its important we say it, it was make febreze part of your clean routine focused on antihispanic it for whole home freshness. La la la la la. Was antihispanic. The hostility was at a particular group of people. Hispanics, mexicans. And that makes sense when you think about heres a murderer who traveled eight to nine hours by car to go to a border city, to a walmart that is known to be a walmart, that caters to the border community, caters to mexicans. Theres actually some mexican nationals who are victims. So we dont have to try too hard. Two plus two sometimes equals four, which this is a violent white supremacist who got radicalized, and well figure just in we have learned that out how, to focus on mexicans the fbi is opening a domestic terror investigation into the el paso shooting that has left 20 and hispanics and took that out people dead and 26 wounded. Today. So unfortunately its all too police have identified the familiar. In terms of counterterrorism we heard chris wray, the director alleged shooter as a 21yearold of fbi, mention that the rise of white male from allen, texas. White supremacy is actually the greatest terrorism threat in the he was arrested at the scene. United states today. The police chief saying the its amplified, that hatred is amplified on social media networks. And we certainly know the public discourse, the sort of failure from the top to condemn White Supremacy at this stage contributes to a sense that these men are somewhat emboldened right now. Shooting has a nexus to a hate i think thats why were seeing crime, the manifesto. These obviously, natalie, we they are still trying to confirm were together last weekend. Here wrote it. We have seen this fourpage were seeing these every weekend. So that sort of thats sort manifesto, its entitled im probably going to die today. Of the big picture, but well he didnt. Learn more about that specific he was taken into custody and is being we presumed questioned. Radicalization process. And this shooter was just 21. Health insuran whats your takeaway from this document . This is four pages full of and were seeing younger white men carry out these mass racist hatred, toward hispanics shootings in the United States. And he indicate he didnt even plan this out for more than a month, yet he carried through with it. He also talked about perhaps particularly and talks about the being shot by police but blending of cultures in the United States. The document was posted about 20 apparently from what we understand gave up. Minutes before the incidents took place on to the message right. And said something about the heroism of it, or maybe he board achan. Wanted to be captured so he so often its the big tech could tell his story. You know, he did post something companies, the instagrams, the online. He does want this to be a public facebooks and twitters that get event. But i think the youth factor is a lot of flak from capitol hill and others from what they allow really, really important, that this is a generation that has on, but the fact is theres a been raised on social media whole spectrum of blogs and platforms, theyve been very slow to get a lot of this stuff, Message Boards where you can a lot of this hatred, a lot of this radicalization material offline. Theyre actually quite good when it comes to isis materials. Post this vitriol, this hate. But facebook and twitter and tell us what han is. Others have been quite slow when it comes to White Supremacy and white radicalization and we see them trying to do something in theres racist, antisemitic the last couple of hours to get this stuff down. In terms of his age, this is a generation of white men who are the first generation of white men being raised when the united vile posted every day. Right before the new Zealand States birth rate, and this is attack, the person posted a important, is now majority nonwhite babies u. S. Citizens are born in the United States manifesto. Now. This is the last generation of the same thing happened in april white men who were born as a ahead of the deadly synagogue majority. Attack there. I say that because thats and again, this was posted right amplified in their literature, which i unfortunately have to before the incident took place read. But thats a key part of their on hchan. Animating thing, the sense of displacement. Then they find each other online and its not condemned by the it quite disgusted when you look white house, by president trump. At the content that the folks all of those pieces fit are cheering on, talking about together. No one specifically to blame the death toll as if its a except for the murderer himself. Game. They seem to have gamified these but it creates a cesspool of hatred that were just seeing in atrocities. Is there no way this can be regulated . I guess to some extent its the numbers that the fbi is documenting. This is the terrorism problem of protected by free speech and our age right now. This is the internet. Right. And they so easily find a place but what could be done . Of course the authorities will be asked why didnt they catch on the internet to fuel that hate, these dark areas of the Something Like this . There are so many of them, so many posts, is there anything internet that they propose that can be done to april letter people do this, they cheer when this stuff and to regulate it . People do this. Talk with us about how hard it well, im sure that Law Enforcement now is keeping a close eye on a lot of web sites is for intelligence to stay ahead of this. Like these. Its really difficult. The difficulty is of course we a lot of it is anonymous. Put the congress and the someone just puts something up like i hate hispanics on government put a lot of pressure 4chan, theres not really much you can do. On the major corporations like and also if you dont put anything that is going to be facebook and twitter to get a sort of specifically violent against a group of people or if handle on what is happening. But on these like 4chan and you only put it in 20 minutes before, that is going to be very hard to take down. And youre exactly right, natalie, in terms of what are these social media platforms hchan, if one hosting internet doing . Theyre giving these men a sense provider says we want to shut you down, they can go to another of community and therefore a sense that their hatred is sort provider who might be based in a of a majority opinion. Right . That this is something that different country. Almost everyone must absolutely believe. They live in this world of sort its difficult to wipe something off the internet. The internet is forever, as of limited media engagement, they say. Limited ideological engagement, facebook and twitter removed accounts under the name of the and theyre just feeding off of each other, which amplifies it. Suspect and they are blocking look, 4chan is you can sharing of the manifesto. People can defend it if they want. But very quickly, it doesnt it is a cesspool of violence. Take a lot to find the manifesto on facebook and twitter. But it is a platform that exists for that kind of language. So they clearly need to be doing ill probably when i get off air a better job on that. Donie osullivan, thank you get hit by a lot of them on twitter or something. But this is what they do. For coming in. And its and this is were going to take a quick break. Something you that cant just it recommends our best custom fit orthotic bring down. To relieve foot, knee, or lower back pain. Fs a platform where the sharing of ideas is occurring. So you can move more. Thats the challenge right now, dr. Scholls. Born to move. Is the extent to which these men no longer feel alone. They actually feel like they have a community that wants them to act this way. Very sick community indeed. Juliette, we always appreciate your insights, but this is happening too often, isnt it .

In the wake of the deadly mass shooting in el paso today, there was an outpouring from the those are the steps well be community, being waiting in long going through tonight the and lines to donate desperately needed blood. Tell me about the suspect one organize said it hasnt seen this kind of response since did they recognize a vehicle description that may have been put out or how did that whole the 9 11 attacks. Encounter go down . I dont know how the david, thanks so much for encounter went down. It was an active situation. Joining me tonight. Thank you for having me. They did encounter this suspect i cant imagine the range of and he did surrender to Law Enforcement. The details of how it happened i dont have. Was he at gunpoint . I would be assuming. Emotions that you must be feeling after a day like today. I dont know how it went down. You must be feeling overwhelmed, are the victims still inside the store, are they have they i imagine. Oh, absolutely. This tragedy is something that been removed yet . Unfortunately any deceased our Community Just didnt know victims that rinse the store are still there. And it just all the emotions sir, have you named the from people that came in today suspect yet . No, we have not. To donate blood, its apparent are all 20 victims in the store or did some pass away at that everybody is in shock. The hospital . I dont have the locations of we dont nopele how were not where they passed away. I do know that the victims that used to things like that out passed away on the scene are still on the scene, and well be here. Working diligently to collect officials talking about how tight knit this community was and how many people have been affected by this attack. Our evidence and make sure the proper respects for the victims do you personally know anyone of this tragedy are given. Who was involved . Well, you know, the ironic do you know when they may be removed . The process its a very large scene, and that process of thing is today we had a big the investigation can be timeconsuming. So i dont have an estimate of when theyd be removed. Effort planned at cielo vista was there potential for more fatalities from those that are injured . Mall so we were out there i dont have the status of those who are injured. Collecting blood and got a call its possible. But i dont have the exact from one of my employees and number of possibilities. It is possible but i couldnt be asked if i had seen the news but certain. Was all of the gunfire inside some of our employees did see the store or did some of this the shooter run through the mall happen in the parking lot . That type of investigation will come later. And it was just something that were going to have to piece together where exactly the everybody was shaken up about. Gunfire occurred. And that is something thats and one of the Bernie Sanders ongoing and im not prepared to pieces of news that weve seen make that statement right now. Today and we just showed some of the pictures a moment ago are the investigation requires you to still have the victims these stories of twohour long inside. What are you doing as part of the investigation that theyre still there . Lines of residents and people well, theres a crime scene turning out to donate their process of diagramming the crime blood. Someone from your Company Actually said they hadnt seen scene for court. Anything like this since 9 11. Everything that is encountered has to stay in place. How have you found the response . Oh, absolutely it was theres also examination working with the medical examiners overwhelming. Office. Were doing joint investigations ive been with this organization with other agencies that are for more than 20 years and i was assisting. So theres a lot of moving parts on why the investigation you here on 9 11 and it was the same thing today. Think one murder occurrence can take a whole day. Now we have 20 victims. It can be exponentially longer. Up know, people showi thats the reason for the delay. Up kn you know people showing up, do you know the type of weapon that was used . Wanting to do something, to help i dont know the type of weapon that was used. Early reports was a rifle. Make sense of this. Thats what i can confirm is it was a rifle but as far as the we had people wound around the caliber or type of weapon i cant confirm that. Has the suspect been building. People didnt mind waiting for interviewed . If so has he been cooperative . Two, three hours. Today we stopped taking donors the suspects in custody. At 5 p. M. And we were that interview process is ongoing. I dont know if its a completed rescheduling people to come back process as of right now. Tomorrow, to come back on monday but that is something that will because the response was just happen today and throughout the overwhelming. But nonetheless, we didnt close night. Has Law Enforcement confirmed our operation till about 30 the authenticity of the manifest minutes ago and so we were still oet chief mentioned during the briefing . That is a process that might processing those donors that had be a little bit more lengthy to been waiting all this time. Thats so great to hear. Help . Link those two. That definitely will be looked into. But im not prepared to give what do you want people to know that definite answer. If people want to donate blood, while the suspect is talking what should they be doing . To the excuse me . Is there a web site, a phone what the suspect is talking to zblsh i cant speak to that number . What should they do. Right now. They can go on our web site, i dont have that information, first and foremost. And if i did that would be blood hero. Com or call something that would be restricted to the investigation until its complete. The information of how and when he excuse me . Do you know if he said 18772584825. Anything, yelled anything, made and i think the most important any comments that you can tell thing is that i hope people us about while he was doing what understand the importance of hes alleged to be doing . Having a plentiful blood supply well, part of this process will be interviewing witnesses. Available at all times. If that is something that did occur, we will go through up know, th witnesses or any testimony you know, this tragedy brnings thats given. But as of right now i dont have any information they would say that he was saying anything into perspective the importance during the process of the crime. Of the role of donating blood in can you comment on how remarkable it is to catch him alive, arrest him . Our lives. This is something thats come out and support not only never occurred in my 22 years of being a Police Officer in el situations like this but situations that we dont hear about because every day someone paso. So as far as the remarkableness is using blood in our of him being caught alive, its communities, every day blood is hard for me to speculate why saving lives, donors are saving lives. So its important that people this happened. I am glad to say that we did understand that. Such an important message. Its not just about today. Capture him. Blood is needed all the time. And that he will be able to face as david just mentioned, you can justice. This all comes to a conclusion, go and schedule an appointment being certain that this is the only person responsible. But i couldnt comment on how it is whether it is or it is not that we caught him alive. Donate blood at el paso and the investigators and members of this community as well, can you talk about the difficulties for this Police Department encountering this carnage in their own community . No, absolutely. Other places as well, go to this is the most traumatic scene that ive been close to and i bloodhero. Com. Thank you. , who met with humana can tell you the investigators are doing their best to complete to create a Personalized Care plan. This investigation proper with respect to the dignity that the at humana, we have more ways to care for your health, victims deserve. But it is tough to see this type and we find one that works just for you. No matter what your name is. Of heinous crime occurring in your own community. Its very tough on all parties involved. And we are striving to do our best for the victims and the members of our community that we serve. What resources do the officers have to you know, when they have to deal with that carnage that you talk about . How do you take care of the men and women who are investigating this . We do have members of ehn, which is a Mental Health service that the department uses. They are on scene. And should officers need to talk to somebody or work through that process, they are on scene right now to help with that process. So there are resources ive always been amazed and still going for my best, available. The totality of the resources even though i live with a higher risk of stroke available, i dont have at this due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. Moment. But i do know that Mental Health so if theres a better treatment than warfarin. Professionals are here to assist i want that too. First responders working through eliquis. This as they work. Eliquis is proven sergeant, will this suspect to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. Be held in a different part of the jail or any kind of special plus has significantly less precautions for him . You know, im not qualified major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. To talk about the separation. Whats next . The jail is run by the sheriffs reeling in a nice one. Department and i would be dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, guessing if i gave any kind of answer to that. As stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Has the suspect been formally charged yet . As far as i know, he is not. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve but that information when it does become available well put or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily it by you. Is there any information the and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Suspect was staying in a motel seek immediate medical care for sudden sign of bleeding, here, how long he was in town before this happened . Like unusual bruising. You know, the investigation eliquis may increase your bleeding risk and what led up to this tragedy if you take certain medicines. Will be part of the tell your doctor about all planned medical investigation. I cant really go into details or dental procedures. Of the moments or the hours eliquis, the number one before this occurred. Cardiologistprescribed blood thinner. Because were still ask your doctor if eliquis is whats next for you. Investigating the total situation. So i cant comment on that right now. [ inaudible question ]. The reunification is the place where they need to start. If they havent received or havent found their loved ones, we will work with them to find the answers. But you know, that is the first place that we need the public to go. Who should they call . When the suspect was apprehended, did he put up a fight . Did he try to run away . Did he just as we mentioned earlier, he was arrested without incident, meaning he did comply with officers commands. There was no force used. He was taken into custody without incident. And just to confirm, he has started speaking with investigators, the suspect . Yes. [ inaudible question ]. I dont know. Is there any indication he considered any other locations besides this one . Like i said earlier, his motives and what transpired is being investigated. I cant comment to that as you number one, i dont know that. Two, its part of the active investigation. There might be a summary when its complete. But at this time in the near future will we comment on the specifics of it until its complete. Did the suspect just turn himself in and walk up to authorities or did you identify him prior to i couldnt tell you. Were there any other weapons besides the rifle . That i know of at this time, no. Can you talk about the investigation in dallas . Do you me anything about whats going on in his home . I have no information about the investigation or if an investigation is occurring in dallas. Okay, if theres no other questions, my name is sergeant my name is Sergeant Robert gomez, Public Information this is cnn breaking news. Officer El Paso Police staying on top of the tragic department. Thats robert. Mass shooting in el paso, texas, last game of gomez, gomez. I want to get right to josh this will be our last brief here until tomorrow. Campbell, who has new reporting there will probably there on the alleged gunman who took will not be another brief the lives of 20 people at a throughout the night. Shopping center there in el any information will be paso. What are you learning . Tomorrow, possibly in the morning, but i i am not reporter alex, were getting specific on any specific time our first look here of the when that will be available. Suspect authorities believe was responsible for yet the latest mass shooting here in the united thank you. Can you repeat some of the states, this one taking the lives of 20 people behind me, injuring over two dozen. You heard it there from this is a 21yearold resident Sergeant Robert gomez from the of allen, texas, taken into El Paso Police, trying to take custody by Law Enforcement questions. Couldnt provide much officers after the shooting. Information because we know this as they dig into this persons investigation is ongoing. Past and weve been looking at available reports, a couple of things stand out. The important thing is that this this is a resident of allen, shooter is in custody. According to mr. Gomez, he has border city of el paso. Rom this spoken with investigators. But again, the investigation is still ongoing at the scene. As he reiterated, the victims, there are questions about why did this person choose to come the bodies of the victims are to this location and this still there as this crime scene is investigated, and he didnt indicate when that will facility behind me. He was taken into custody alive. Conclude. You can imagine what so many families are going through to try to find out about their is this someone who is willingly loved ones. But he wasnt able to give much going to tell Law Enforcement more information into the situation now. Step by step what he did and why but we do know the shooter is in he did it . Custody. A 21yearold white male, so we want to talk about that and what we know about him. Resident of texas, responsible lets talk with cnn law Police Believe for just the enforcement contributor now steve moore. Latest act of carnage here in hes a retired supervisory the United States involving mass special agent at the fbi. Violence with a gun. Steve, good to see you. Josh, if this manifesto is connected to him, it would seem very evident what was motivating unfortunately, we have yet him and that was hatred. Again another mass shooting. It was just a week ago that we but who else would the authorities be looking to talk were talking about the one in california. From all accounts this appears to be a hate crime and there is to tonight . Right now they are orbiting a manifesto. This target right now. What are you hearing about the they want to talk to anyone who suspect and his possible knew him, who was associated with him, his family members. Motives . I havent heard anything we can expect as we speak right official about this guy. Now, authorities are likely but what strikes me is how gathering search warrants to similar this is to shootings conduct searches at any weve had over and over. Residences or addresses associated with him. Almost 20 years almost to the the fbi and local law day ago we had a shooting in los enforcement have a procedure and process in place. Angeles where a white the first thing they want to do supremacist drove from one city down to los angeles, drove about is seize any type of social media out there. Theyll lock it down. 800 miles and spent the night in some of these cultures out there a hotel and then shot kids will all of a sudden disappear. Because they were jewish. Law enforcement works with these and these people love their ove companies to seize the evident and get it down to public view. We can expect thats happening their all the unfairness towards them. Right now. Authority want to determine was and this is not unfortunately there anyone else who may have something new. Known what was about to take this has been maybe the means place here, anyone who may have that theyre using. Participated and are there any but this is something that weve possible followon april tax. C had for years and years, decades and decades. But it does seem like we are seeing more young white men orbiting this target together to carry this out. Get into that mindset and figure this suspect was 21 years old. Out what happened here in textexas. Again, if the document is the suspect last week in california at the Food Festival connected to him he spelkd to was in his early 20s. Die, he didnt. We dont know know whether he and its largely in part, isnt had a chang of heart, he wanted to be taken into custody alive. It, because they are connected we really dont know butch he is to these dark channels on the a in custody and each is alive and he is going to be questioned web that want to encourage these for a long time by these kinds of heinous acts. Authorities. Josh, you were at the fbi. Oh, absolutely. If you were sitting down across but these before it was the table from this young man, what would you be asking him . The before the web was there so the key questions, the why. Again, getting back to looking they had shortwave radios. At past incidents, weve studied what you find in these white these. Supremacist groups, in groups often teams you will have no like them, are people who are desperately inadequate in their own minds. And the only reason that they qual qualms, especially in this manifesto is indeed connected to join these groups is really him, were told that authorities are working to determine whether sometimes even more for theyre associated. Selfworth. They get a feeling that theyre someone who pushes that not alone in things and they find some kind of validation, immission that will be key to even in this horrible side of themselves. The selfvalidation has been their motive for sxwraerz years. Investigators. Weir told that the fbi has ander, the internet is the place opened a conkur domestic terrorism investigation. Now. But as i said, before that it the state has the lead right now was shortwave radio. But the fbi is pow their before that it was all sorts of mailings and communications that way. Profilers are professionals, we also have heard that the shooter posted his manifesto digging into the mind that false just 20 minutes before entering that walmart parking lot and in the spectrum of domestic starting to fire a rifle. Terrorism, we meet see a greater that just goes to show you how role here for the it can. Difficult it is for Law Enforcement, for intelligence to stay ahead of these acts. Yosh campbell there on the scene, let us nope what else you lynn, i cannot i cannot learn. Thanks very much. If you can imagine, the new. Even express how difficult it is. We would sit and look at one White Supremacist Group and we would have an investigation on that group and we could listen my brother spoke with her at to them. We could investigate them. 10 31. She was in line at walmart, in but if one person left that the checkout line. Group we could no longer follow they spoke for four minutes, them because they were no longer till 10 35 and that was the last part of the organization. Weve heard of her. So were handicapped by free speech, which is generally a good thing. You know, they use the free florida. Hell be here in a couple of speech to create and foment this hours but he was in atlanta. Hate. Were also handicapped by legal and up checked all the hospitals and situations, where you can only yeah. Follow people if theyre part of weep just dont know where she the organization youre is and the buses havent shown up at mcarthur. There are some witnesses theyre investigating. I dont know the answer. I just know that living in a supposed to take over to mcartur free society is a doubleedged sword. Andofficers. We just wanted to walk down here so many them with their fingers ourselves and take a look to try on the trigger walking through and find her, you know . Himself up. Steve, we appreciate your because she wont hold up insights. There arent any real answers, without water. Are there . Someone needs to take care of thank you. Well be right back. With all that usaa offers her. She needs water. So i dont want to speculate. Why go with anybody else . We know their rates are good, we know that theyre always going to take care of us. Im hoping and praying, gourd, it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. Were the tenneys and were usaa members for life. Please bring them home. Call usaa to start saving on insurance today. First i want to say thank you and were going all in for life. Thion strawberries.

There have been calls for people to sign um on. What can people do to help the community right now . Well, we set up the many lf p i never expected it. I always thought like i heard all right. Mayor demargio, our thought and like this was the year ive been here its just been busy but this is the craziest thing prayers are with you, which lp thats ever happened. I never expected it to happen. Its something really shocking to me. Im pretty shocked. You will mourn together and then recover together and be stronger im scared.

A little kid ran in there and delegates, how do you vote . cheering told us it was an active shooter yes, yyyyes, yes. In walmart. But we didnt pay any attention that is freaky. applause because it was a little kid. We didnt pay no mind. So i walked to foot locker, and i just heard two gunshots and people started running around screaming. They shut the cage, the cage in foot locker. And i have my license to carry im in the military. So when i hear gunshots i was r was 2r5i7bd to think fast, grab yo your weapon and think fast. A couple guys, they just ran out of foot locker. And im thinking im the only one with a weapon thats legally carrying. So you know, ill go with them because i can guard them or whatever. But i see a whole bunch of kids running around without their parents. So another thing i think of is just pick up as many kids as possible. Another guy as well. I dont know where he went to. But there ways hispanic guy with me. He did as well. I can say a total of 13 kids but i could only get three. And i think he got about three as well because i was just focused on the kids. I wasnt worried about myself. It was so many kids running around. I was just thinking about if i had a child so i thought fast and got as many kids as i could. Children running around during a mass shooting that had to be absolutely horrifying for them. Well, every day hundreds of mexicans cross the border into el paso to shop.

Me and my mom went to the to get milk and once we got the milk, we were going towards the fruit alley. And when we got to the fruit alley, we heard like shots, like three shots, boom, boom, boom, one, two, three, and i told my mother, mom, there are gunshot, we need to go. And she just froze and did not move. I told him and maybe like 15 feet away, i saw the shooter. He was wearing a black t shert, sot brown khaki pant and he was wearing some mugs like those to protect your ears from. And he just started to shoot everyone, just started to shoot. And what i did, my first this inot this john smith smith. Instinct was to get people out thereof. Or this john smith. I probablyin shouted her theyre or any of the other hundreds of john smiths that are humana Medicare Advantage members. No, its this john smith, who met with humana shooting, mean like 48 people to create a Personalized Care plan. Out thereof and just told them to get out. At humana, we have more ways to care for your health, and and then there was this and we find one that works just for you. No matter what your name is. Senior citizen lady that i tried to help and i couldnt and i stop struggling to clean tough messes with sprays. Just told her to move faster and try new clean freak sheech couldnt move faster so i it has three times the cleaning power to dissolve kitchen grease on contact. Left her will there and i it works great on bathtubs. And even stainless steel. Neechded to get out because the shooter was getting closer and try new clean freak from mr. Clean. Closer and so i was just i just told her to get down and hide and then i left her and we just ran outside and got everybody in and just told everybody to just prun out and just go far, far away as we can. So we actually start running. We came out to sams and then from sams we ran more farther away because we still heard some maybe like two gunshot more outside. And then from the governor of texas, greg abbott came this message to his state. Governor abbott, im sure youve seen the reports of the alleged shooters manifesto. The latest on the breaking can you think, sir, of anything news out of el paso, texas. In the political life of our country at this moment that the fbi saying it has opened a contributes to that type of domestic terror investigation after the shooting at the hatred . Listen, this is disgusting, Shopping Center that left 20 people dead, 26 others injured init tolerable, its not texan and a 21yearold march is in and we are going to aggressively custody and could face charges of capital murder and a hate prosecute it, both as capital crime. The city of el paso has banded murder but also as a hate crime, which is exactly what it appears together to help each other to be without having seen all the evidence yet, i dont want heal. One state representative says the city will be defined by its to get ahead compassion. Evidence yet, and i want to see all the evidence. There are 20 families that but we have to be clear that woke up whole this morning with conduct like, this thoughts like this, actions like this, crimes their loved ones and when the like this are not who or what sun sets tonight here in el texas is and will not be accepted here. And as news of this shooting paso, theyll go to bed without broke, most of the democrats them. Those families are broken, but running for president were in las vegas, nevada for a union event. And many spoke about the it is with our strength and resolve that we can help piece shooting. We are the only country in them back together and i want the world with more guns than people to know that this horrific act does not define our people. Community. It has not made us safer. What defines our community is we can respect the Second Amendment and not allow it to be the lines around the blood bank a death sentence for thousands of people ready to donate, of americans. People wanting to offer and two, White Nationalism is counseling services, volunteering left and right. Thats who el paso is. Evil. And it is inspiring people to our thoughts are with all the people of el paso. Commit murder. Well be right back. And it is being condoned at the highest levels of the american government. And that has to end. The first time i became aware that our country was under attack, like most people in my generation, i think, was 9 11. [woof] and for a hot minute we all swore up and down that we were going to be different, that it was going to change us, being i felt i couldnt be attacked was going to bring out at my best for my family. The best in this country. Thats what we said. In only 8 weeks with mavyret, so how about this time . I was cured and left those doubts behind. Its not just today. It has happened several times i faced reminders of my hep c every day. This week. But in only 8 weeks with mavyret, it has happened here in las vegas, where some lunatic killed i was cured. Even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. 50someodd people and wounded hundreds of people. But in only 8 weeks with mavyret, and i think all over the world i was cured. People are looking at the united mavyret is the only 8week cure states and wondering what is going on, what is the mental for all common types of hep c. Before starting mavyret your doctor will test Health Situation in america if youve had hepatitis b which may flare up where time after time after time and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. Were seeing indescribable tell your doctor if youve had hepatitis b, horrors . Enough is enough is enough, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, and its been enough for the hiv1, or other medical conditions, past five years. This is a sickness. And all medicines you take including herbal supplements. This is well beyond anything dont take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, that we should be tolerating. Or if youve had certain liver problems. Im incredibly saddened, and common side effects include headache and tiredness. It is very hard to think about with hep c behind me, i feel free. Fearless. This. And theres no looking back, because i am cured. But ill tell you, el paso is talk to your doctor about mavyret. The strongest place in the you only talk about your insurancet, when you complain about it. garbled . Its so painful. World. Good point this communitys going to come thats why esurance is making the whole experience surprisingly painless. Together. President trump has also been so, you never have to talk about it. Briefed on the situation, and he unless youre their spokesperson. Has tweeted. Esurance. Its surprisingly painless. Terrible shootings in el paso, texas. Reports are very bad. Many killed. Working with state and local authorities and Law Enforcement. Every day, visionaries are creating the future. Spoke to governor to pledge total support of federal government. God be with you all. So, every day, we put our latest technology and just in, protests outside the white house tonight. And unrivaled network to work. A group called moms demand action, a gun control advocacy group. The United States Postal Service they were in washington for an annual conference, and tonight makes more ecommerce deliveries to homes they marched toward the white house, chanting the words el than anyone else in the country. Paso. Take a listen. Because the future only happens with people this videos coming to you vee o. Twitter from whyd who really know how to deliver it. Momsdemand. Yes. Chanting el paso. El paso today in the spotlight for a mass shooting. 20 people dead, 26 people in the hospital. The devastated community of el paso tonight mourning the lives lost. 20 of them. And 26 more injured. Some now fighting for their lives at area hospitals. Texans held a candlelight vigil at a Catholic Church nell paso this evening. Moments of prayer and moments of tears. The vigil concluding with a song for this wounded community. Another candlelight vigil for el paso shooting victims taking place tonight in austin, texas at st. Edwards university. Finally tonight, i imagine that many of you like i have spent the day and evening wondering how is this possible again, why is it that the United States of america is the only country in the world where this kind of thing happens on a regular basis, where time and time again we go through this same horrific routine of news alerts about an active shooter, scenes of people streaming out of a school or a mall or an offin early reports of injuries and deaths, confirmations from the authorities, the identity of the gunman is then revealed and in the vast maintain of the cajori it is a man, usually a white man as in this case. We ask ourselves is it the racial divisions in this country, the political divisions this is cnn breaking news. Is it the way we deal with Mental Health or is it numbers like these . Hello, im Natalie Allen in consider this. Atlanta. The u. S. Population is just we continue to follow the under 5 of the worlds breaking news from el paso, population, but according to texas, the fbi is opening a gallup we own almost half of the worlds guns. Approximately 42 . Domestic terrorism investigation into saturdays mass shooting at that number is hard to nail down a Shopping Center there. Because in america guns are hard to track. At least 20 people died. But what is clear is that american citizens own more guns another 26 have been injured. Some we are told with than citizens of any other country in the world. Lifethreatening injuries. In the coming hours and days the 21yearold suspected gunman were going to be hearing a lot surrendered at the scene and is of politicians offering their thoughts and prayers, as they in police custody. Should. But if past is precedent, shoppers inside a walmart dove neither thoughts nor prayers are for cover as the shooter a solution. We needed a solution yesterday. The 20 People Killed in todays unloaded a volley of rapid shooting deserve a solution. Gunfire. The victims in gilroy, california last weekend, they deserve a solution. The list goes on and on. This needs to be fixed. Those of us who vote in this country must demand it. Our hearts go out to el paso tonight. We will be with you as you mourn and as you recover.
