Betts was the gunmans own sister. They arrived to the area together before he went back to the car and came back with a gun. Ainsley in El Paso Police are turning to domestic terrorism and investigation there of deadly massacre. Jonathan serrie is live on the ground in texas for us, good morning. Good morning to you. The alleged gunman is being held without bond being charged with capital murder in connection with the deaths of 20 people in a walmart in the Shopping Center you see behind me. Meanwhile, federal authorities are investigating whether the defendant authored an anti immigrant online post as they consider domestic terrorism and hate crime charges. And the fbi is interviewing acquaintances of the defendant in the dallas area. Heres why. Interviews were putting the investigation together to be able to determine if he was was part of a group or working with other individuals that were planning any future attacks. At this point we dont have any credible intelligence saying that there is anything going on in the future. A video posted on facebook shows the inside of the walmart when saturdays gunfire broke out. You can see someone hiding under a shelf as you hear the shots being hired. A mother and father shopping for School Supplies lost their lives while shielding their baby from the gunfire. I think they were all three together and i think the father tried to shield her and then she shielded him. There is no way he would have let him happen anything to that child. Over the weekend El Paso County share wind chill index wiles posted on his personal Facebook Page this anglo man came here to kill hispanics. Im outraged and you should be too. This entire nation should be outraged in this day and wage all the issues we face, we are still confronted with the people who will kill another for of the sole reason of the color of their skin. Last night democratic president ial candidate beto orourke who used to represent el paso in congress joined hundreds of residents for a moment of silence and vigil. We bore the salute worst of it in a communities for the last 10 years which has averaged 18 murders a year for the entire year. We saw 20 people gunned down in one day. Later this morning, President Trump is expected to speak from the white house on recent Mass Shootings across the country. That event expected to take place at 10 00 eastern time. Back to you. Steve all right. Hey, jonathan, i have got a question for you. So the shooting was there in el paso. The area that the shooter is from the dallas area, 10 hours away, its still unclear why he made that trip, right . Still unclear. Authorities are investigating that. And that is part of the hate crime investigation. If federal authorities determine that he was motivated by race. Perhaps animosity towards hispanics, then that might explain some motive. At this point it is shear speculation. It is being investigated. Authorities are eventually determine, federal authorities will eventually determine whether they are prosecuted as a hate crime. But, right now, that aspect is still under investigation. Steve and the suspect is speaking with the police, right . He is. He has been cooperating from the getgo. Highly unusual. In many cases with these shootings, the gunman will either kill themself or die in gunfire while exchanging gunfire with the police. He actually gave himself up to authorities and has been cooperating with them throughout this investigation. A highly unusual case. Ainsley all right. Thank you so much jonathan. In dayton, ohio, that suspect was shot within 30 seconds. The police were there. They did kill him. Down in el paso that guy is in custody talking with police. He apparently lived with his grandparents in allen, texas. Grandparents said yes, his license has our address on it but he moved out about six weeks ago. He was attending college when he lived with us. He stayed with us a few times since then. The authorities, the fbi did go into three different houses including the grand parents houses to get evidence. Pete when you look at the videotape from dayton, ohio. The one we showed is powerful and another Vantage Point which we will show as well. Everyone is running away and three officers round the corner here it is right here. They round the corner and fire back at the gunman, i mean, what it takes in that moment, you are facing a high powered rifle with a lot of ammunition, people running away from you and within 30 seconds, i mean thats a Response Time thats almost unheard of. Obviously they were in the neighborhood. Six officers ingandle with the shooter within 20 seconds and he was down 30 seconds after the first shots were fired. You hear these shots and know whats happening as though shots were ringing out. There was one video i watched of a young man underneath the table in a walmart in el paso. The shots you could hear them ringing out. Jonathan talking about that mom that was shot shielding her baby boy two years old. 25 years old. She and her husband shopping for School Supplies. Three kids holding her twoyearold. Apparently she was shot and fell to the ground and landed on top of the child. The child had some broken bones but will be okay. Unfortunately these kids will be raised without their mom and dad. Steve the president is going to make an address to the nation four hours from right now from the oval office or the white house, i should say. Yesterday, when he was getting on air force one at morristown, new jersey, in route back from bedminster, new jersey, to the white house he did suggest that he has something he wants to talk about. There are a lot of things that are in the works. Watch this. Hate has no place in our country. And were going to take care of it. Just on behalf of my first lady and myself condolences to all. Weave to get it stopped. This has been going on for years, for years and years in our country. We have to get it stopped. But this is also a Mental Illness problem. If you look at both of these cases, this is Mental Illness. These are really people that are very, very seriously mentally ill. Ainsley the president went on to thank Law Enforcement. He said he spoke at length to the ag, william barr. He spoke at length to governors and fbi director christopher wray. He also said all of the flags will be flown at halfstaff at government buildings today. Pete talk about the signs of Mental Illness. Part of what he learned the shooter who opened fire outside that bar in dayton was known inside the school where he went for creating or having crafted a hit list against girls in his school. And some of the people he went to school with have reported there were fears that our school might be the kind of place he shoots up. So, when you look at these incidents, as completely tragic, you can also look back and its always 2020 in hindsight. What did people know and when could they have said something . In this case it appears he had shown the signs of Mental Illness quite early. Steve exactly right. That suggestion where we just saw the president and he talked about Mental Health, youve got to figure that he is going to address that later today from the white house. You know, once again, its like there were these warning signs that something was just wrong with that guy. The guy from ohio, who wrote out the hit list and then also had a rape list as well. Ainsley of the girls. Steve suspended from high school. Ainsley wrote it on the bathroom wall and the school had to go in lock door. Interviewed the principal all he will say is i will not deny that that didnt happen. One of the kids he went to school with said he glorified violence. He was unpleasant person. He was not bull idea. He said dont listen to those remarks. He was not bull idea. The kid also wrote on this suspect in dayton he wrote on his twitter feed im going to hell and im not coming back. And he praised satan. Pete you add those impulses with video games as we had the Lieutenant Governor of texas fox friends yesterday first shooter games desensitize folks to the violence. Having been there in violent scenarios when you understand the carnage and cost of human lives. When you see it through a screen and you dont relate to it in person, it makes it seem like its more accessible. That, plus any number of factors. Ainsley it could be the video games. Maybe not i believe you grow up parenting, you grow up and go to church on sundays. That teams to you have fear of god and to have good morals there are so many different factors you dont know. Maybe a child is born with Mental Illness. Steve it does come back to that a lot. There is a we are going to play a sound bite for you from a sheriff down in Hillsborough County, florida, who over the weekend, they got a phone call from somebody that said hey, i have been watching these shootings and im intrigued by them and i think im going to come and shoot up the store. Heres the sheriff. He was intrigued over the shootings. Over the past couple of days. After the events over the last week, we all fear for our safety to begin with. So, to have an individual who, for whatever reason wants to be a copycat or wants to instill fear in people, for whatever that motive may be, is disturbing. There is going to be a zero tolerance in Hillsborough County for anyone who seeks to instill fear in our residents. Steve so he called the walmart, this person. Ainsley 10 miles south of tampa. Steve yeah im going to come over and shoot. Ainsley thankfully whoever answered the phone call called police they were ready for him. Apparently his mother worked at that walmart. Pete another responsibility we have the in media. You cover these because they are news worthy we dont put the name or face of shooters on the screen. They dont deserve the publicity they seek but part of what per pets united per petd states it. They want to be seen as infamous thats the balance we face report on it without glorifying it. Ainsley guy is 21, one in florida 21 years old. Steve try to figure out the motives and the people who did it and extenuating circumstances it was political. Here are some people who would like to be president. Watch this. When you talk about invasions and hoards of people and when you talk about mexican as criminals and rapists and the country under siege, you have unstable people who are going to see that as a sign that they have got to take up arms and do the horrific things. Trump has a lot to do with what happens in el paso. The environment that we have created in the United States as the president has created in the United States. This echos the kind kind of language that our president encourages. There is no question that White Nationalism is condoned at the highest level of our government. Donald trump is responsible for this. The chief of staff Mick Mulvaney was on one of the chat shows yesterday and he said to suggest that el paso shooter was motivated by the president was not right. He said that the el paso shooter posted online he had been expressing his hatefilled views long before donald trump was president of the United States. Pete he also went on to say and i agree many others have said it thats like blaming Bernie Sanders for the shooting at the congressional baseball game because this was a Bernie Sanders supporter with a hit list of republicans. To do this is, i think, irresponsible it. Is political. And unnecessary. Ainsley there were Mass Shootings in the last administration, too. You cant blame the president for Mass Shootings. These individuals are crazy. In order to take someones life, you have to be out of your mind, especially that many people. These are human beings, and they are walking into stores and just shooting them down. Steve no doubt there will be calls for more laws. The cover on the New York Post today says ban weapons of war. Ainsley do you know what also hits home . This is walmart. We all go to walmart and shop for School Supplies for our kids. Steve 100 percent. Pete eats thats why its so impactful. Steve trey gowdy who retired not long ago had this reaction from the fallout of what happened over the weekend. The righttolife is the most fundamental, basic, primary right that we have. It is the right from which all other rights emanate it. Doesnt matter if you are a right to a lawyer if you are did. It doesnt matter if you are the right to free speech if you are dead. Doesnt matter if you have the right to keep and bear arms if you are dead. On a personal level, im willing to subrogate any of my other rights to avoid another sandy hook, another pulse nightclub, another day like we had yesterday. But im out of politics and im not going back. The legislators need to look at the laws we have on the books, are they being enforced, if the answer is yes and we still have gaps in our laws that need to be fixed, keep in mind, you dont have a single right for which there is not some corresponding responsibility or restriction. Every right you have has a restriction. If we need more restrictions, then draw the causal scientific link between what you are proposing and what you hope to be the outcome. But just more laws that are not going to be enforceside a panacea and is not going to work. Show me a law to prevent the next sandy hook and sign me up as a husband and father. Show me the law and sign me up and i will give up any other right i have. Pete passionate plea. Some sides to this story. Some people want to ban guns. Some people want to point out the walmart in texas where this happened gun free zones. Guns were banned. This is texas. We would expect somebody to be immediately shooting back not in a place where you are told you cant have a personal firearm. Not as simple as saying ban weapons of war. Some people would say hey, i as an individual should have a trite defend myself, myself included. I dont know where we go from here because people are pretty invested in views of the world. Ainsley let you knows what you think friends foxnews. Com. Meanwhile hand it over to jillian for headlines. Jillian overnight south korea joints military drills.

The senate is in recess but democrats are call on mcconnell to bring lawmakers back. They want an emergency session on gun control. A look at your headlines. I will send it back to you.

Brand new Surveillance Video showing petrified people running for their lives as the gunman opened fire in dayton, ohio. You can see Police Actually racing toward the gunman before confronting and killing him. Did this response stop a larger massacre . Lets ask our Law Enforcement panel Blue Lives Matter new york city founder new York City Police Department Joseph along with former secret Service Agent evey pomporus and steve cardigan. Good to have all of you as well. Thats really something when you look at the video from dayton and apparently evey, apparently six officers engaged the suspect within 20 seconds. He was down third seconds after the first shots were fired. Thats rare. Most of the situations we dont see this type of reaction. Officers happen to be in the area and happened to be able to respond. So we were fortunate in this situation. But in most situations they flee. They commit suicide. And so they will get into an altercation with police. By the time police get there its over it. Really shows how police
