That is about 30 miles southeast of san antonio. The shooter is identified as Devon Patrick kelly. He was from a nearby county. One of the victims, just five years old. The oldest was 72 years old. 20 people have been wounded in this attack. He was stopped when a Good Samaritan with a rifle saw the shooting and open fire who then drop the weapon and drove off. He was found in the field after his car crashed about 5 miles away. Police are not sure if he took his own life or if he potentially died from the samaritan shot. Matt has been at the scene of this tragedy. We will check in with him and President Trump has been monitoring the situation in texas. The president is in japan at this hour. John roberts is in tokyo with the very latest. It is a horrific act. The president have to juggle the International Affairs from north korea, china and also deal with this. Good morning. Its noon here in tokyo and the ceremony at the palace which is just over my left shoulder, just completed. President trump and japanese Prime Minister engaging in the traditional welcoming ceremony, walking the palace grounds and now theyre inside for a bilateral meeting. They will go for a number of issues. The president , with a 14 hour time difference was up very, very early this morning, monitoring the coverage of the unfolding tragedy, tweeting about it early this morning. He called the Texas Governor to express his condolences and the president s First Official event of the day, it was at the u. S. Embassy here in downtown tokyo speaking with a group of u. S. And Japanese Businessmen. Hes just repeating what he said a month ago regarding the Las Vegas Strip when he expressed condolences to the families and survivors. Listen to what he said. I will continue to follow the developments closely, all of america is praying to god to help the wounded and the families of the victims, we will never ever leave their side. We will never leave their side. Thats what the president said about the victims and the survivors. The president state visit here will continue. The president has some thorny issues he has to discover and what to do about the nuclear program. Many people believe if kim jongun gets a Nuclear Weapon he will use it as blackmail and said you want to trade boston first full korea and take the troops out of the peninsula and leave north korea in possession of a Nuclear Weapon. That something this president and no one else in the region would like to see. The other issue we have is trade. The u. S. Has a trade deficit with all five nation that the president is visiting. The president will be engaging in rather thorny talks about the trade deficit between the u. S. And china. The president got into a little bit with Japanese Business people think beginning to make the. Why not make all cars in the United States and where we should be more cars to the japan. The president talked about free and reciprocal trade and he said is not really like that anymore. Trade between the United States and japan is neither free nor fair nor reciprocal. The president has some issues to talk over with the japanese Prime Minister and he will have the same conversation with president moon of south korea and the president wants to level the Playing Field when it comes to trade and they like it just the way it is. Lets get back to the tragedy in the carnage. Were now learning that devon kelly was discharged for misconduct. He was confined to 12 months in the break. Any relation tonight from the military regarding this horrific shooting. We havent heard anything on that particular front. This is new information in the people who are traveling with the president have been caught up in these official welcoming ceremonies, clearly they are going to be briefed on all of that, but at the moment the bilateral meeting is first and foremost on the president plate. We will hear more from the president. He has a press conference which will occur at the palace along with the japanese Prime Minister. That will be about half past midnight eastern time, 930 pacific. We are about to head over there after we get off the air with you. We will be able to ask the president some questions and those are some of the things that will come up, no doubt. We will be waiting for that about two and half hours. John roberts in tokyo. More on the deadly shooting inside First Baptist church in texas. Joining us now by phone with reaction to all the breaking news, ken paxton. We spoke to you earlier today when this was first unfolding. I would like to get your thoughts tonight on this Deadly Church shooting. Victims ranging from 5 72 years old. Obviously horrific. It still horrific. I do think, as we find out more about this guy, as you just noted, his bad behavior in the air force, i think well find out hes been pretty bad guy for a long time. The fact that he came into this church was in an accident. I think he had an evil personal or political agenda and i think as we go along will find out more about it. Hes previously a member of the u. S. Air force, served in Logistics Readiness at holloman, we understand he was in the air force until 2010, possibly dishonorable discharge. He did not appear to be linked to organized terrorist groups. This is what we know right now. Again you are talking with us earlier about what we know about the small town of Sutherland Springs. Everyone knew each other. What is it about this man that would come there, who would go to Sutherland Spring texas and create such havoc and kill people innocently serving and worshiping on a sunday morning. I dont know why he picked that particular town. I think well get more clues as we go along but i think its interesting that he picked a small town that could have a devastating effect and get a lot of attention and do it where they were likely not prepared. If you do that in a large churc church, a lot of those churches have security and he gets in a small town that there wouldnt be as much security. We have other departments investigating tonight. What can you tell us, from your perspective in terms of the coordination on the ground. What are you learning . I do know, you can see this from past activities like the hurricane, the governor has done a great job coordinating with federal authorities, state authorities and i can guarantee, it is, as quickly as possible, they will get to the bottom of this and make sure we find out as much as we can about the shooter as fast as we can to make sure this doesnt happen again. When you have a small town of roughly 400 People Living there, we heard from eyewitnesses there at the church earlier this morning saying that listen, we dont even lock our doors. In fact, one woman told us that her car, she said my keys are in my car right now. You have 26 people dead in the small town. If you could even somehow wrap your mind and help us understand how is it that you there, attorney general of texas, as well as the governor and local officials are going to help the people deal with the unthinkable aftermath in the unbelievable shock and hurt following this deadly masker . Theres no way to bring people back but i think texans unite and they will be down there to help in all kinds of ways. I think youll see people try to help these people in the coming days in coming weeks. Of course there will have to be so many grief counselors on scene to help these families that are left to bear with this horrible tragedy. One of those killed was a 14yearold girl. Annabelle pomeroy, the daughter of the pastor. Now you have victims ranging from 5 72. This will also go into the school where after such tragedy, counselors at the school will have to console the children deal with the psychological impact of such an incident. Im a father of four children, and it would be devastating to lose one of my children. I cant even imagine these parents that have lost their children. I do think this points out the need for churches, businesses, schools to start thinking about what theyre going to do if this happens in their place. Wilson county is a place that no one would have expected. It can happen there can happen anywhere. I think we need to start dealing with the fact that this is a reality we need to have policies in place to protect the future and prepare us for them. Indeed. When you talk about the thought of policy, of course this is just happening, unfortunately not the first time. Sadly to say it may not be the last time. As you think about these early stages after this particular tragedy, what kinds of policies might you be contemplating to speak to your lawmakers there in texas . I just know the church i go to, its a large church and we pay People Better their undercover, not that they can prevent every action but its having people on the ground who are prepared to prevent some of this from happening. Maybe not totally but to prevent so many. As we look at this, its just something as reality that we will have to deal with and have more churches and businesses and schools think about how they will be ready for this and how theyll be ready before the First Responder gets there. When you when youre talking about that church in texas, membership was just under 300. How can they afford to have private security on scene. They will need help for such an undertaking or such a burden. I think every church will not be able to provide private security. I think that will have to have some who are armed and be able to deal with someone walking in and shooting people in the church. I think you have some of your own people. As i said,. [inaudible] the president is monitoring this from japan and all eyes are on this terrific scene in texas trying to grapple how to possibly avoid this from happening again and have churches possibly armed and try to circumvent another deadly shooting. Thank you so much for joining us this evening. I appreciate it and i really do hope people will keep these families in these victims in your prayer. You can count on that. Absolutely. Earlier this evening we talked to brian king who introduced legislation called the Church Protection act which allows churches to permit someone to carry a firearm in the church, someone that the church officiates as the official to protect the church in this type of case, if indeed that is needed. Clearly with the allegations from police it was a buy stander from across the street when this guy got out of the car and walked across the street and opened fire and went inside and opened fire pit was a bystander who went and got his rifle and started shooting and maybe it was those wounds that led to his death when he was found in the car in the field. Certainly that may be part of the debate ongoing in order to protect churches. In fact, it was an armed nearby resident who chased after him. We will try to find out who that is. A hero tonight who may have saved even more lives and an example of the american spirit, getting into action when he sees others in danger. Matt finn, now at the scene of this horrific tragedy. Lets go live, the mood at the scene, the feeling of the people there, what is it and how is it tonight . Of course its somber and heartbreaking and what is so eerie is how quiet and silent it is in the world texas. Its very dark, about a 45 minute east of san antonio. This town is so small, this one little intersection right behind the church, there are Police Investigators and state police and fbi all over the scene, but you cant see some of them because theyre in the shadows and there in the dark and there are many more who are in the light behind me. At what is the quintessential beautiful texas church with the flag at half staff and there are very large white tents up across the property and you can only unfortunately imagine what kind of work is being done inside those tents. Median everyone being kept at a distance. What we know so far is Authorities Say around 11 00 a. M. , the shooter was spotted at the gas station across the street dressed in all black. He is identified as devon kelly. He walked into this church and opened fire, killing 26 people. It seems he was not discriminating. He was shooting everyone in sight. 23 people were killed inside this church. Authorities say to People Killed outside on a property in one person who is transported died elsewhere. The doubt included the pastors daughter and pregnant woman. As he was shooting at this church, a neighbor or someone nearby engaged with him, probably in an effort to stop the shooting. That person was armed and he may have helped prevent more deaths. Authorities say he got in his car and took off and the neighbor or person who was still unidentified chased him and eventually kelly crashed his ca car. Officers say he was found dead with a gunshot wound. We are not sure if it was selfinflicted. Some Big Questions tonight. A motive, why did this happen, what brought him to this church. Does he have a connection to the church. Does he know friends or family inside. We are working to learn more about those answers tonight as information is coming in, our pentagon producer tell us that he was courtmartialed in 2012 for two counts of assault on his spouse and assault on their child and he also received a bad conduct charge. He was dishonorably discharged. That may not have any connection to what happened but were learning a little bit more about the shooter. Back to you. The attorney general said they knew this guy was a bad guy. He was convicted of attacking his wife and child. There are reports that his mother had a po box in that town. He may have taught Bible Studies of the church. Any indication of the people there, of the broader or stronger connection between kellyanne that church having known people there, certainly weather was a hate crime based on religion or based on anger or based on targeting those specific people. Any indication of any of that tonight where you are . I just got to the scene a couple months ago so i have not been able to talk to people here. As we were standing in this area, i saw a woman, two women approach the crime scene and i just overheard the woman say my nephew. She was talking to one of the deputies here. That deputy led her underneath the crime scene tape and started to walk her toward the area. Loved ones are perhaps getting word tonight and they want to know whether their friends or family are okay. I cant tell you anything about the motive but as we learn about them we will bring you the information. For them to target those poor people, its heartbreaking and so sad. Many questions, the answers will eventually be coming. Thank you very much. When we come back, we will have the latest information on the shooting and a possible motive. We will speak with Law Enforcement next. We will speak with witnesses from todays horrific shooting liquid gels. Hi.

Joining us now by phone is former nypd officer and secret service. What we know is the shooter is a 26yearold Devon Patrick kelly, formally a member of the u. S. Air force who served in Logistics Readiness from 2010 until his dishonorable discharge, he received a bad conduct discharge. He was in confinement for 12 months and a reduction to the grade of e1. He was courtmartialed in 2012 on two counts of assault on his wife and their small child. Reportedly, his mother may have had a po box. This guy served in Logistics Readiness. He knew how to handle a gun. Whats interesting about that piece of information is, if he was dishonorably discharged, he wouldve been prevented from owning a firearm as well as constructively owning a firearm. If someone in his household owned a firearm which he had access too, thats an interesting piece of information and it takes the question, how did he get possession of the weapons he used in this really horrific attack. A very interesting development. He was in confinement for 12 months. What does that say to you . It certainly gives you the look into this guys mindset. Apparently he has not been an honorable person throughout his life as evidenced by his discharge from the military under those terrible circumstances. This is the kind of person, he fits the criminal profile as someone who might do Something Like this. Now, i want to be clear, not everybody who engages in that criminality go on to commit mass murders like this. Obviously. So it still leaves the open question of what was the motivation. What moved this guy, this person from that kind of activity in the military, criminality nonetheless to mass murder, homicide on a mass scale. Thats a big leap. There has to be some intermediary event. As you point out, the motive is unclear at the moment but investigators are looking at social media posts that he may have made in the days before this mornings attack including one that appeared to show a semi automatic weapon, according to local reports in texas, police were checking his home for explosives after the shooting. I am sure people who are watching are asking how is it that investigators were looking at social media posts of him showing off a semi automatic weapon and the sky was no
