where a lot of these mass shooters decide to do this kind of thing, early 20s, sometimes late teens. yes, that s right. i think right now we have no information about motive. several of your experts have warned us about speculating too much. but, you know gets me in the heart, and i wonder is there a terrorism connection? we remember the pulse nightclub or the boston bombings or even fort hood, and we wonder about that possible terrorist connection. and, you know, one thing i want to say here is that s part of the reason that we still have our u.s. military forces doing so much counterterrorism work is to prevent any more of this type of incident because we do worry about that. again, we don t know anything at this point about motive, but we do know that this lone shooter

what i would say about the champs elysees, it s much more than just a target that represents france. this is a economic target because those that visit the champs elysees in large part are people that are tourists, visiting the country and it has a big economic impact. as you know, reporting on this issue now for well over a decade, if it did turn out to have some kind of terrorism link, this is the kinds of economic target that they would want to select. finally, based on what we re hearing from france 24, the fact that the police are suggesting at this point there may be a terrorism connection. the individual that they have taken down may have been known to the intelligence services, shep. shepard: the french police and the french services do not jump to conclusions. that s correct. they re very conservative. very conservative and what they report and when they report it. they would rather give you the information.
