we re about a block from the reflecting pool where the twin towers of the world trade center once stood. president joe biden arriving at this moment in lower manhattan. he and jill biden will visit all three memorial sites today. starting here at the museum on this site. vice president kamala harris will speak in shanksville, pennsylvania later this morning, that s where united flight 93 was forced down. she and second gentleman, doug emhoff, will then join the president and the first lady at the pentagon. nicolle wallace, as i always say, for millions of americans especially anyone in the tri-state area, this is the saddest place on earth. there s no way to walk by this spot if you re on jury duty a few blocks away, on an errand or going somewhere else that you don t feel gutted by what was lost here. our day job is to cover politics, what you have in this place and what you have in this remembrance is heroes. heroes who ran into towers. i think 20 years later that means m
many of us woke up, this morning, to learn of, yet, another, mass shooting. a 19-year-old gunman who opened fire at a fedex facility in indianapolis, killing eight people before, also, killing himself. this news, mind you, comes on the 14th anniversary of the virginia-tech shooting, when 32 people were gunned down. meaning, we have arrived at a place, where mass shootings occur on the anniversaries of other mass shootings. here s what president joe biden had to say, today, about the epidemic of gun violence in america. this has to end. it s a national embarrassment. it is a national embarrassment, what s going on. and it s not only these mass shootings that are occurring. every single day, every single day, there s a mass shooting in this in the united states, if you count all those who were killed out in the streets of our cities and our rural areas. it s a national embarrassment, and must come to an end. it is an embarrassment. i mean, learning of a mass shooting is a
suspected shooter and the victims in this instance as well. good evening, halle. federal and local authorities are working around the clock to try to figure out the last piece of this puzzle which is a key one. what was the motive here? what motivated this shooting and they re doing so by going through every bit of the suspected gunman s history. his mental history. executing search warrants on his vehicle, his home, and his social media account to see if there was any postings in recent days that may shed light on a possible motivation here. we know that he purchased a firearm just a week before the shooting and witness accounts from inside that grocery store paint a terrifying picture of what it was like as he shot indiscriminantly at the strangers inside. calling for help, asking police to rescue them as they were protecting themselves and each other from gunfire. now as that is ongoing, the grief here in boulder is substantial. this community is deeply devastated by wha
and those who refuse to acknowledge it at all. in just the last 24 hours, former vice president mike pence rebuked trump s claims that pence actually had the power to overturn the 2020 election results. president trump is wrong. i had no right to overturn the election. the presidency belongs to the american people. that same day the justice department released new videos from january 6th. they re violent, vulgar, and target the very man you just heard denounce what the capitol mob was trying to do. we want to warn you that what you are about to hear is disturbing and profane. i m telling you what, i m here if the pence, hearing the pence just caved. no. is that true? i m hearing reports that pence caved. i m telling you, if pence caved we ll drive the motherfuckers through the streets. we re not going to have our election in our country stolen. if we find out you politicians voted for it, we re going to drag their fucking ass through the street because this is the
stuff that might be more present here. so all of that s going on behind the scenes, but i m always intrigued by the decision making to shelter in place, release people and how confident you can be when you re releasing citizens into a safe area. tough decisions. for anybody just joining us, the top of the hour, we are following report of an active shooter in the midtown atlanta area. we have one person who has died at the scene. four people injured and taken to the hospital. the suspect still on the run. let s go ahead and listen to our local affiliate there, wxia. they are conducting an interview right now with sate senator josh mclauren who was having lunch in the area at the time. before i took this call, i was downstairs, there was an atlanta police officer who came through and reminded everyone we re still on lockdown. i m glad some people were able to be evacuated. we have seen cars leave the area. confusion, it s uncertainty, it s fear, and we re going to wait and
