The deadly college massacre. a white house official says the president will meet privately with the shooting victims families as the president says he will politicize gun control. also tonight, chilling new details about the gunman who slaughtered nine people. survivors saying he seemed happy throughout the rampage. he asked victims about their religion even though their answers actually didn t seem to matter. he shot all of them anyway. the gunman did choose one person to survive. a teenage boy that he selected, made him sit on the side of the room and called him, quote, the lucky one. that s who he chose to deliver his writings to police. dan simon is outfront. he s different. he ll never feel the same. he ll never feel complete security again. reporter: you could see it in his eyes, in his body language, that this young man has seen something truly horrific. ze doesn t know how to deal with it right now. i don t even know he can register what happened yet. it s just too muc
When you add in joe biden to the race, you can see clinton s support is even really less. she is only going to get 28%. vice president stealing some votes from her. so, do you think she s hoping her announcement there can boost some support in this critical state? well, i think so. you know, hillary clinton has dropped 18, 20 points, depending on which poll you look at. she certainly doesn t like the idea she s behind in new i also think this is just practical. there have been just too many of these mass shootings and one of the things hillary clinton is going to try to sell herself onto the american public is, i m the politician who can get things done. this proposal is really sort of based on practical things, closing loopholes, taking executive action. she connects every single one of her policy proposals to a recent shooting. so, it s probably one of the most in-depth proposals i ve seen from any candidate in the last couple of years. let s take a look at her proposals because

Guns? that s what everyone is going to want to ask, even when you re asking the question. all over the world, you don t see the mass shootings all over the world on a consistent basis like you do in the united states. so somebody has to ask the question, how is it so easy to get all these guns? how is it so easy? 13 guns, i never held a gun in my life. i never want to. i know there are people that do. but you have to ask that question, how was he able to compile that arsel? let s bring in cnn contributor, a criminologist, behavioral analyst and attorney. i want to get your reaction to the father, essentially blaming the gun law. you ve got to remember that he hails from europe, where he is correct, across the world, it s just not that easy to get guns like this. i think that one of the things, and it s a conversation that we re having and it has to be
Latest. now they re saying this ship sank. this has been agonizing for the families. they identified the debris field as being some 225-square miles. the very painful news from the coast guard, they believe the ship did sink, but we need to underscore the point, they re continuing to treat this as a search and rescue operation, because there are 33 people aboard this ship. the owner of the ship has come out yesterday, saying that one of the containers that was found had been on the ship. the coast guard did not come out and confirm the debris they found was related to the ship. that should be what we re anticipating hearing within the next several minutes as the coast guard holds their press conference. what we know is this a ship that left jacksonville on tuesday, making a trip to puerto rico. obviously, there were concerns about the weather, tropical storm that developed into hurricane joaquin. there has been word from some family members of the people on board this ship that they
Miles o brien. i guess the big question is, why didn t they ask for a book for on board? that s a good question. we don t have a full report or statement from american airlines yesterday but you had a flight with probably a lot of people sleeping. so not not sure what was said but certainly, one of the things right at the top of the list would be first of all, fly the airplane, get it under control but secondly, you want to see if there s medical help on board to see if you can resuscitate in this case the captain. miles, american airlines will not specify. they are saying it was from quote, an illness. what aren t they giving for i o informati information? this is pretty scary. it is but they might not know yet. they are going to perform an autopsy, obviously and we ll get further information. it could have been, it could be obvious signs of a cardiac arrest in this case, which raises a question, every

That had the markings of el faro on it. it was heavily damaged, but it was recovered, no signs of life there. as we went through the day yesterday, we had multiple reports of survival suits that were floating in the water, life rafts and life boats. we had to check each one. we did that methodically because we wanted to make sure there were no signs of life. we were hoping to find a survivor, so we needed to check every one. in one of the survival suits we did identify human remains in one of the survival suits. we lowered a rescue swimmer to confirm that the person was deceased, and it was basically unidentifiable. we needed to move from there quickly, because there were other reports of survival suits as well as life boats and life rafts. we checked those methodically through the day. no other signs of life at this time. so, as i mention, we are not looking for the vessel any longer. however, today we are still out
