this child s out of control. that was his christmas present, and they put it in some room and didn t bother to secure it. they find out he s in court, in school searching for ammunition, writing notes about killing people, and they laugh it off. it s grossly negligent. no wonder she s furious. everybody should be furious that there will such a lack of responsibility that these four children are dead for nothing. sorry. don t be sorry. cynthia, don t be sorry for that. i appreciate you being honest and candid. catherine, i appreciate you being with us as well. shaq brewster, thank you also. the sheriff has confirmed that apparently the fbi and u.s. marshals are in on a search for these parents set to be arraigned in about 45 minute from now. we re going to have more coming up. we re also looking at the one-on-one interview that the cdc director told our own lester
i think i mean, they do, but the schoolally bears responsibility, right? the teachers do. there were so many signs here of escalating conduct that we talk about when we re looking for prevention efforts. the facebook posts that, you know he had made and his mother had made. and then the teacher say thence. one of the things i would hope would happen, eel in the school situation with the teachers and principals, if they didn t ask about the backpack, the teachers themselves should have called police. not because it s their legal obligation, but because it s a duty we all carry in and out. that s what we re seeing, is anybody can drop the ball. is the school going to be held liable for it? no, but the parent responsibility is different. other parents have been charged in different cases, and in whether or not they could very charged with anything that had to do with buying a gun for a 15-year-old, and letting the
up, especially on the democratic side, what can be done from a congressional perspective. that ball hasn t moved up mvp, as you know, in many years. do you think charges might be a way to ensure responsibility when it comes to gun ownership? i m curious how you are seeing the news that s developed today. hallie, i think americans are sick and tired of politicians offering thoughts and prayers after these tragedies. i m proud of the fact, quite honestly, in virginia where we have, a look-time culture of hunting, firearms, that when the when the democrats took over control of the general assembly, we passed responsible gun laws. some of that will be in jeopardy, because we lost or general assembly and just hired a republican governor.
i would love to see activities on a responsible basis, more appropriate background checks, looking at assault weapons, trying to move back to say one gun a month approach of purchases, but i would be less than candid with you if i thought that looking at the current composition of the house and the senate that it s going to move at any time in the near future with this current congress. again, we want to see more of the developmenting efforts, but the fact a there needs to be more responsibility, especially in this case when the family bought the weapon just days before. i m told that the family was being talked to by the school right up to the shooting. it appears, not knowing more facts than you, maybe holding
prosecutor has, but she seems pretty confident. and there s definitely grounds for this charge, because they knew he had this weapon, and they knew he was in distress because of these notes. catherine, let me turn to you. one thing that cynthia and shaq touched on is the parents did not ask their son if he had this gun, you know, with him, what was in his backpack? they resisted the idea of taking their son home with him, then the suspect went back to the classroom. here is more. he should not have been allowed to go back to that class. i believe that that is a universal position. i m not going to chastise catherine, what is your sense of whether the school may bear some responsibility here?
