the street into the trauma bay they were quickly assessed. if they did not have immediate life-threatening injuries they were moved elsewhere and cared for by our colleagues and paramedics and we had an emt that would drop the patient off, we had other environmental services, the bay where patients would go 30 to 45 seconds, sharp objects with bloodied towels, all kinds of stuff. i just cannot say enough about how much we increased our resources to the level of need within a short period of time. after we got that initial we had kind of if you would call it a low while the shooter was barricaded inside . at this point, we had used basically everything in the emergency department and our suppliers got stuff from central supply, brought self over from older palmer hospital, winnie palmer hospital such that we didn't need for anything. we had used at all but we had replaced immediately. then we got word from opd that there would be another 20 to 25 patients continuing to come and that's when the second wave started to come and it was basically a repeat of the first. we had gotten some of those patients out of the operating room to the intensive care unit and we just kind of started doing it all over again, putting the patients that needed to go to the operating room in the trauma they were moving people that did not out to the other parts of the emergency department and i just can't thank my partners, my colleagues, my colleagues in nursing and respiratory therapy. environmental services, the support staff did a great job. i think it is very fortunate that this happened two blocks away. and it's very fortunate that we have the team that pulled together like we did. >> do you want to talk about what kind of injuries? >> i'm joseph abraham, the health director at orlando health. in the trauma bay as doctor smith described it was somewhat of a war seen. the trauma bay was very full, we had beds in every corner. we saw the full gamut of wounds from wounds to the extremities, wounds to the chest, wounds to the abdomen and pelvis area . as if they were shot from below which is what being described to me by some of the ems people. it varied in the size of wounds from small caliber wounds to very large caliber wounds which the larger ones left a significant amount of tissue destruction which is something we are not as used to seeing, something more from a rifleor something you would expect like that and as you expect with large soft tissue wounds you also have large wounds inside cavities whether it be the chest or the abdomen . we have again the full gamut and the full team come together. we had all kinds of nursing respiratory therapist, everybody come together. the orthopedic surgery team was even very, very helpful even in the emergency department i had orthopedic residents come with me to help triage patients, removing tourniquets, things like that so again , we mentioned ed, that's general surgery but the or team was instrumental in that as well. then they would take the patient that were maybe not as emergent after we had taken care of the critical ones and taking care of the orthopedic injuries as you heard and mister cohen talk about, running the full gamut of injuries. >>. [inaudible question] ... ors are special places as you can imagine ... can you hear? okay. >> doctor sandy, tennessee theologist. i would like to thank my colleague doctor mark nakajima that was on callthat morning. i'd like to thank all the nurse and that statistics , all the staffnurses and the text . as was described earlier, the situation rapidly escalated from the first victim that came up. i'd like to personally thank the call, heroic demeanor and professionalism exhibited by everyone that morning. i appreciate my surgical colleagues, we rapidly opened up the operating rooms in the face of potentially life-threatening, horrific injuries. i appreciate the calm demeanor of how things were handled and how it was triaged, we literally went from operating room to operating room. i believe we were on our 13th procedure at six in the morning. i just want to express my thanks and gratitude for what was exhibited in the operating room from every member that was there that morning. the cases continued through the whole day. there was never any downtime. we rapidly opened up as many operating rooms as were needed. i appreciated all the responders from the nurses, from our nurse and s the tests that came in that morning. there wasn't a question of coming. they came as soon as they were notified and i thank them for that. >> thank you. doctor halloran, you told a compelling story the other day about your experience going from one or to the next or. can you explain that today? >> i'm william half around, the general director here and one of thetrauma surgeons . as doctor smith alluded to, i a phone call and immediately came into the hospital and was asked to proceed directly to the operating room and you know, as everybody said here, with the busy level i trauma center we are used to seeing gunshot wounds. we are used to seeing a multiple multitude of injuries each and every night but this was somewhat of a surreal experience. we were just given patient after patient after patient . the or would fill with a patient. we would proceed with operative intervention, whatever was needed and would literally walk from the operating room to another operating room and do it again and again. as everybody has already spoken, i can't say enough about how great this institution was. the resources, everything that was needed was immediately available. everybody flexed up and made sure that operating rooms were available, icu beds were available, step down beds were available, nurses were here, texas were here, every service worked together and that is the most instrumental thing in taking care of patients in this situation. second, i would say i would be more proud of this team, especially our surgical residents. they worked very hard as it is. lots of demands put upon them. to answer the call at 3:30 in the morning, some of whom were on vacation. some of which were tired and had already been working all week to come in on a moments notice to help take care of folks in need i think speaks volumes of them and i couldn't be prouder. >> doctor chito, do you have any final or can we open up for q&a? >> disasters are something we planned for. all trauma centers around the world do this. you can never repair adequately for an event such as this. but we have spent quite a bit of time over the years working with all of our colleagues in all of the departments to have a plan of how we would address this and we have a tiered approach based on the number of victims that we anticipate. this was the largest disaster that we probablycould have imagined . and we went ahead and we implemented the plan we had designed over the years and perfected through practice. and i think it worked. i think that the fact is, as gary parrish already alluded to that the victims were literally three or four blocks away, made a tremendous difference in their outcome. we know getting to a trauma center improves lives, improves survival and they were able to get here, many of them within minutes. the second wave of victims was obviously delayed because it was an active shooter situation and the police were trying to get the victims out of the building but as soon as they could rescue them again, they were immediately brought to us by whatever transportation was available. the reason that we were never at want for anything is because of the support from our entire team. you know, you can think about the medical side of things area and you think about doctors and nurses and respiratory therapists saving lives but there are so many other parts of the team that are also there to save those patients lives so while we as a surgeon were in the operating room with our anesthesia colleagues working with our emergency medicine colleagues, the nursing staff and respiratory therapy staff, etc. in the emergency department operating room, there was a much larger team of administrators, of our support personnel that were behind the scenes constantly communicating with us to know what we needed. so as doctor smith mentioned, when we get literally exhausted the supplies that were in the emergency room, i was able to get that information from him and turned to our colleagues in logistics and literally within minutes, more supplies were being brought to the scene so there was never a time that we werewithout anything that we needed . when i went to doctor ruth early in the course of this as we were beginning to recognize the magnitude of it, we spoke in the operating room and my hat is off to sandy and his team. they rapidly escalated from two operating rooms to six operating rooms literally within about 30 to 60 minutes . i doubt that anybody could have done it faster and i really, we need to commend them for that. the entire team worked together and i think that is why we have had the outcomes that we have had with these victims. we are pleased that we've not had anybody succumb to their injuries as of yet. i have to caution everybody that there are six people in the hospital right now from this event that remain critically ill and as i said the first day, i would be surprised if we do not see the death toll rise from this. we are doing everything we possibly can to pull them through this critically ill as a result of their injuries. i know those patients and their families would covet your prayers and your thoughts before their rapid recovery. >> we are going to open it up for questions. three questions, and then we will take questions from this section 1st. >>. [inaudible question] >> if it wasn't for them i would not be able to have it safe mind. if they weren't here i don't know where i would be right now. >> how well are you? >> i'm doing pretty well. i still can't walk but ... [inaudible] >> you mentioned the surgical residents. could you tell mea little bit in general how many residents , how many were each attending the cardio area? >> so we had five over those years so that's five people who were with us for five years plus a additional six interns who were here for one year. numerous residents were called in. i can't tell you, i know i have one resident with me through every one of my six cases and that resident alternated. i had, i went from chief resident to four residents and a third-year resident in one case and in addition one of our critical care fellows. as far as cardio thoracic's, specialists were called in when the need was there. i think that depended on the variability of what cases were involved. we had vascular involved, i don't believe any cardiothoracic services were required. >> congratulations to all the nurses. doctor, could you talk about the expertise of the nurses and surgical experts on the team doing on that team? >> i will tell you we have the best nurses in the world area there is no question in my mind ... [applause] if you think that doctors are important, keep in mind that, for those of you that have been patients that notice, doctors come by for perhaps 15, 20 minutes a day. you have a nurse for 24 hours. so the nurses are the true caregivers, they are the ones that arecarrying out the physician's orders. the nurses did a phenomenal job . we had nurses coming to us from, we have a pediatric hospital and a woman's hospital on our campus. so the nurses on those two hospitals were coming over to help. we had nurses from our icu that came down to the trauma bay to help. we were never without the need for manpower and the nurses did a phenomenal job, our respiratory therapist did a phenomenal job. we have pharmacists in our trauma bay, everyone came together and met the patient's needs area. >> do any of you remember treating angel? that night and now seeing him, how do you feel? [overlapping conversation] >> i'm making no blame. >> speak into the mic if you can. >> and ob let. angel, i think you were my second patient because i got the call at like 3 am and i came right in and he was very brave. i just remember don't we have a medic also whose name is angel? and he was also hoping out and it was a very chaotic night but all of us as a team worked together and we were really able to do a good job. [overlapping conversation] >> do you have anything to say to her? >> i love you guys. >> now that you're back with your family there's so much more back home who are dealing with closure and their stories, ... [inaudible question] >> they're very concerned about me. i let them know that this hospital, that you guys have been taking care of me very well. >> are you hearing from folks back home? >> yes, a lot. [overlapping conversation] >> i like to ask doctor parrish a question. i know you have to have mass casualty units. how does that differ from reality when you have truckloads of patients coming in with the frequency they were coming in so how did your mass casualty drill equate to reality? >> as doctor chatham said, it is something we practice frequently. we do this a lot and when we plan for and hope not to get but do spend a lot of time planning for the infrastructure, what we have to do it we have these patients but it is different. it's a lot different. when you have folks that are acting ill or have blue lodges on, it's a lot different than the real patient coming through the door with large injuries. >> you still have a great need for blood because people are lining up today. >> the chaos that you know surrounded them in the early hours of sunday morning as ambulance loads, truckloads for patients were arriving there at orlando regional medical center. the camera now focusing on angel cologne, one of the survivors of that horrific nightclub shooting. he says he thought he was dead, that woman next to him was shot. he was shot a couple of times but played dead and managed to survive. five of the victims there are in guarded condition, six are uncritical, 16 we are told are in stable condition. an amazing night of work at the orlando regional medical center, had to send out for more supplies even as the number of victims rose. we will continue our coverage on happening now in just a moment. >> ♪ (woman) one year ago today mom started searching for her words. and my brother ray and i started searching for answers.

american history.good morning, i'm jon scott, this is "happening now". the seventh the president's comments, as he prepares to travel all to orlando thursday to pay his respects to the victims and their families and as we get new information about the gunmen , omar mateen and other potential targets, federal investigators examining his phone and computer to try to learn anything they can about how he was radicalized. white house and fbi saying omar mateen appears to be a homegrown terrorist who touted support for isis as well as opposing radical groups. jon: catherine harris is live in washington looking into all of this for us. catherine? reporter: fox news has learned there's evidence of's of significant premeditation and assured that surveillance of at least two targets product prior to buying the gun a week before sunday's attack. we understand their surveillance included the pulse nightclub as well as the downtown disney site. the fbi has mateen's samsung phone and the bureau has gained access to his computer. investigators are looking for direct digital evidence of his surveillance of these targets, for instance web searches for the site, directions, maps and hours of operation. disney said his statement yesterday quote, unfortunately we've all been living in a world of uncertainty and we have been increasing our security measures across our properties for some time . having such visible safeguards as magnetometers, k-9 units and law enforcement officers on site as well as visible systems that employ state-of-the-art security technologies. meantime, fox news has learned therelationship between omar mateen and the american suicide bomber was much deeper than previously understood . the bombers returned to florida in 2013 is under fresh scrutiny. mateen's name circuit in the fbi investigation of this bomber, palestinian american in 2014 after someone blew himself up in syria on behalf of the al qaeda affiliate . in the 911 call significantly, mateen pledged allegiance to isis, the boston marathon bombers as well as his friend from the mosque, the american suicide bomber saw. fbi director kobe said yesterday to reporters that a full it fbi investigation had been done of omar mateen over a 10 month. involving informants, surveillance and that they had found no evidence of a crime or that he supported terrorism at that time and this is the legal standard that the fbi must operate under. >> catherine harris in orlando, a terrible story. thank you. jon: the massacre in orlando causing donald trump to double down on his approach immigration been bowing to block immigrants from areas with a history of terrorism from entering the united states. some are outraged over that proposal but there's a new opinion piece in the washington post that takes a look at the support for it. what did if donald trump is exactly what you want? trump hasn't done much that made conventional political sense in this campaign and politically speaking then write more times than he's been wrong. matthew continuity, editor of the washington freebie joins us with a look at that and linsky also with that, reporter for the boston globe and the tone of the piece overall is not that trump was right , in fact earlier piece had been written that trump was going to lose favor for some of the strong pronouncements but he said he was getting calls from even democratic pollsters who said trump may be onto something. matthew, could he be? >> i think if you frame the election as an issue between gun-control and immigration restriction then that's very favorable issue for donald trump so i agree with chris on that. but donald trump has to wonder about is whether his message on issues like second amendment rights and immigration to the united states is going to be drowned out by some of his other controversial comments he's made over the past week. jon: any, has trump hurt himself or help himself politically speaking with this renewed call for the ban on immigration from troubled areas? >> i think we only have to look back to the terrorist attacks in paris to get some sense of how that might, how his comments might play out and as we all remember, drums candidacy at that point seemed to be losing steam and he came out with his muslim man and he sort of shot up in popularity. you know, this made me think back really to george w. bush's statements right after the september 11 attacks when he went to this notion that people want to hear a really strong response to a terrorist attack and i think that is how this slaughter of 49 people is being viewed and so i think you look back to what george w. bush said and it was really a call for war. it was a very strong statement and people didn't want to hear that and i think that it's so interesting how you report that obama is going to come out with another statement within the hour and i think that perhaps were going to hear something from him that is a little bit more hawkish because that does seem to be fitting the mood. jon: trump has done a couple of things of late. he has severely criticized the commander-in-chief and also tied hillary clinton to mister obama and suggested that her potential election would be a third obama term here's what he had to say yesterday morning on fox regarding the president . >> where led by a man that either is not talk, not smart or he's got something else in mind and the something else in mind, people can't believe it. people cannot, they cannot believe that president obama is acting the way he acts and can't even mention the word radical islamic terrorism. there's something going on. it's inconceivable. jon: when voters hear that, what are they saying? >> this is a continuity versus change election. hillary clinton is the candidate of continuity, donald trump is the candidate of change. the question is are americans ready to take that risk of change that might come if they elect donald trump. jon: even though i got your name wrong, thanks for answering the question. candy, go-ahead. >> those payments were particularlyconfusing for mister trump so i think this is a fact versus sort of conspiracy. election . clinton, her responses whether you like it or not, rooted in the facts on the ground and i'm not sure where trump is going with those insinuations. i genuinely don't know and whoever he's speaking to there, it's an innuendo and a sort of lack of thought is all i can come to. it's very confusing to try to understand what he's trying to insinuate. jon: any linsky from the bost continuity from the free beacon, thank you both. heather: what did the fbi know about the orlando gunman before he went on a rampage? red flags missed during a 10 month long investigation on the

investigators are now looking into reports that the shooter often visited the gay nightclub he ultimately attacked. as one survivor gives a harrowing account of what happened to him there at a hospital news conference this morning. listen. >> he shot the girl next to me and i'm just there laying down, i'm thinking i'm next, i'm dead. so i don't know how but through the glory of god he shoots toward my head but it hits my hand and then he shoots me again and hit the side of my hip. i had no reaction, i was prepared to just sit stay there laying down so he wouldn't know that i'm alive . >>. jon: joe hemmer is on the ground there in orlando with the information there. bill?bill: that was quite remarkable john, press conference we watched the last hour. more on that in a moment but we you mentioned the reporting we are get in the background for angel colon, born in new hyde park new york and it goes like this. several witnesses do report they had seen him in that nightclub several times. other witnesses report that he would often be there alone, drinking. another witness reports he saw him at the bar at 1 am sunday morning which would have been one hour prior to when the shooting broke out so he's inside, having a drink, goes outside, retrieves to weapons from a rented van in the parking lot, then goes inside and inflicts the terror he did . this is what is starting to emerge now with this fuller picture and what is confounding about this john is when you think about what the fbi director said yesterday where he has a isis sympathizer pledged allegiance to baghdad but he's talking about shia so it's a confounding picture now that's emerging. in addition, one witness telling the "l.a. times" that mateen messaged him using a gay app on his smart phone for about a year and there was a friend from a police academy in south florida that said he went to school with him at this police academy and said it was clear he was gay and that's when the palm beach post reports today and now you see how investigators are trying to figure all this out. the orlando regional medical center though, they did the work of god on sunday morning john and the way they describe the patients who arrive clearly without notification or notice and the words of angel colon, shot three times in the leg and he recounted how the killer left the room where he was only to come back and colon's words were a moment to go, i'm next. i'm dead. again, shot three times and the doctor said one came, then another and another. there was no notification. no way to know what was out there on the streets of orlando only two blocks away. six still in icu, five in guarded condition and when you think about the intensive care unit, how overworked they have been, they are keeping these patients alive and they have done heroes work according to all the medical authorities i talked to here in orlando but of the six in intensive care, that's something we need to keep a close eye on. we should hear from the president this hour. he's meeting with his national security council. when that statement comes out, you will see it live on fox. the attorney general laura lynch will make her first on camera statement at 4:00 eastern time today so that gives us an idea what's coming with the afternoon. john, what i find a little remarkable is that you been on these stories for a very long time. when they have such a national, international interest you would get a news briefing perhaps every three hours. that has not been the case on this area. you have local fbi at 7 am yesterday, the fbi director at noon yesterday and the hospital today around 10:30 local time and that has been it area we were told this electronic footprint left on behalf of the killer is extensive so you must think that day three of this investigation, they are moving quite quickly and hopefully coming forward with some information very soon because it has been a rather tightknit i would argue so far. we will see the president in a matter of minutes, for now i take it back to you in new york. jon: they are going through all that electronic equipment they found in his home. bill hemmer on the ground in orlando. heather: investigators looking into whether isis had a direct role in the orlando attack area why our next guest says the united states should be doing more to fight back terror groups overseas, we will be right back. >> hey, honey? yes, dear? you're washing that baked-on alfredo by hand, right? (loudly) yes, dear. dish issues? cascade platinum powers through... your toughest stuck-on food... so let your dishwasher be the dishwasher. this turned out great. cascade. heather: more on the investigation into the orlando terror attack. let's bring in michael solomon, a former fbi investigator and former intelligence officer for the us department. when you look at some of the facts of the case, good morning, you look at the interaction that he had with the homicide bomber. he claims he had family ties to al qaeda. we know for a fact he watched radicalization videos. he scared coworkers and he wanted to go on to say you wanted to martyr himself. what more does the government need to prove that he's a threat to the united states? >> what they really need is more than just reasonable suspicion. they need probable cause. the fact that he said these things doesn't mean anything. i can say things all day long and it doesn't mean anything unless you can prove that there is more than reasonable suspicion there. heather: probable cause, it's basically a criminal standard. should there be a lower bar when it comes to somebody getting a security license, when it comes to somebody being able to obtain weapons or work for a federal contractor that provides security to our courts and other sensitive places? >> absolutely and i agree with you 100 percent. the only problem we got heather is you have hippo laws in this country which prevent done dealers from actually getting medical records of somebody who may have been psychotic in some state or spent some time in a mental hospital and now they have to give him a clearance because of hippo laws or privacy laws with employers where you are hiring somebody for a security job and you call a prior employer, he's not allowed to tell you anything more than yes, he worked here from march until june and that was it. why did he leave? he left on his own or you know, we let him go. you can't say why he was fired. heather: what you're describing is a failure of bureaucracy where even agencies like the fbi for example, the one that conducts these background checks, they're not able to share information with their own federal government. >> that's correct and political correctness is trumping everything. we are afraid to insult people or to make a problem with somebody because of their privacy. it's absolutely out-of-control. we got to do it. when you see something, you say something.i'd rather say something and be wrong and say nothing and be wrong. heather: and some of the employees who worked with this guy, they work for their company and said this guy scares the heck out of us and the company it sounds like didn't do a thing about it. it seems like this guy went on to say i felt discriminated it against. >> i know, it's unfortunate but people have to take more responsibility in what they report but even reporting it doesn't mean anything. the other problem you got also heather is we have to realize that there is so much going on in this country today, everybody picking up the phone with social media and everything else today that the fbi, the police departments in this country, they are so overworked that they can't even handle the amount of work that comes in all daylong from 911 calls , 911 calls but at the same time, they got all these people calling up and see something and say something and they haven't got the manpower to investigate everything so they do what they can and they have to actually prioritize and put them inthe order of threat and that's the problem . heather: it seems you can figure it out in a tree's minute segments, they should be able to figure it out and do something about it when they got to have exclusions to some laws. they got to say when it comes to an matter of people's lives or somebody obtaining a gun permit that we have to expand the hip vato say with the exception of . heather: michael solomon, thank you. sean? jon: does isis and the orlando terror attack, our next guest says us is battling the symptoms of terrorism but not doing enough to wipe out the disease. >> fight heartburn fast. with tums chewy delights. the mouthwatering soft chew that goes to work in seconds to conquer heartburn fast. tum tum tum tum. chewy delights. only from tums. jon: nine minutes away from "outnumbered" at the top of the hour, sandra and harris, what do you have? >> the president being briefed by his security council and said to speak at any moment. more on the orlando massacre as well as the largest fight against the islamic state savages, we will bring you that live when it happens. >> plus radicalislamic terrorism. three words that sparked a huge battle between hillary clinton and donald trump. which candidate voters has better ideas when it comes to keeping us safe . and new pc rules recommend to dhs they say homeland security officials should avoid using words like jihad and sharia so as not to offend anybody. is this the way to fight terrorism? we ask are one lucky guy ambassador john bolton on "outnumbered", topof the hour . jon: that's going to be good, see you then. the orlando gunman statement supporting isis raises all kinds of questions about whether the us is doing enough to fight back terror group. in an article in the boston herald today, peter brooks writes, my concern is we are battling the symptoms of the isis illness but not doing what's necessary to eradicate the disease itself area the author of those words, peter brooks joins us from our dc bureau. he is a senior fellow at the heritage foundation, the former deputy assistant secretary of defense. isis is not the jv skull squad the president described a few years ago, peter? >> no sir, not at all. we had tremendous trouble. john, let's give you a couple statistics. since january 2015, the last 18 months we've had 22 terrorist plots or attacks in the united states. all 22 of those have been homegrown and 18 of those 22 are confirmed to have isis connections. none of them have been directed by isis to my knowledge but they've all been inspired by them so we're dealing with the pain of this terrible terrorist attack in orlando, a symptom of the disease of isis and i think we need to up our game in terms of getting rid of isis, going right after that evil disease and ending it once and for all and i think there's things we can do in addition to what we are doing now to end this , the troubles we are dealing with. jon: i was going to say, it's easy to say we got to get rid of isis but how you practically go about doing it? >> we are already doing a lot of things. we have a bombing campaign, i'd like to see more special operations forces. they really change the situation. we taken background from isis but we need to do more on cyber. in terms of psychological operations, misinformation, intelligence gathering, adding down there radical recruitment and radicalization of people via the internet. i think we also certainly good have a syria policy. what happens if we do collapse isis question about what happens in syria? there's other terror groups as well as isis that will find comely ways to come back. there are things we can do. i think what it is is that we have made progress. some of the things we are doing we need to intensify that. this war campaign has gone on for almost 2 years now and think about that. last year was the most terror intensive plot year since 9/11 so this is coming from overseas and it's coming here. we've got to get overseas you want all of these jihadists that volunteered to join isis come back here and carry out the san bernardino type massacre or an orlando type massacre, they are inspired by something. they are trying to, i don't know, promote that ideology. if you destroy the hornets nest where that ideology comes from, you gone a long way toward preventing future attacks? >> i agree with that john. there's still going to be the ideological battle of islam which is islamism and it's obviously a big debate right now between the political sphere about the use of these terms but that's what we have to deal with and that's another challenge but getting at isis first will move it in the direction of eliminating this ideology or tamping down this ideology so that would be progress. jon: as you know, this president was elected in large part because the american people were tired of war in the middle east. are you saying we need more troops , of all essentially invasion of rocca or the other places where isis makes its own? >> are special forces can do it.they need the tools to be able to do it and some of these other things such as cider may be increasing the number of special operations forces. we don't need tens of thousands gathering our allies, providing leadership against isis. having a policy towards syria for afterwards so there are real challenges here but i think it's certainly a doable job and we made progress. i'm just worried the progress hasn't come quickly enough. you could be tired of war but i think it was trotsky who said you may not be interested in war but war may be interestedin you and that's one of the things we have to insert be interested about. we have to take the steps to defend ourselves . >> your brooks, former assistant city secretary of defense now at the heritage foundation. thank you. heather: you in the next hour, continuing coverage of the terror attack in orlando. also, the latest on a massive tire that cause explosions near los angeles early this morning, plus new details about the man accused of killing two police officers at their home outside paris and posting that murder on facebook. what police found at that suspect's home. >> wrely on the us postal service?
