How californias dry season is making the battle even harder. And Betty Buckley. Our conversation about her extraordinary life on and off the stage. We begin this hour with the aftermath of another mass shooting in america. A drifter walked into a Movie Theater and 20 minutes into the movie he pulled out a gun and opened fire. He committed suicide. Were learning more about the victims and the gunman. Jonathan martin is in lafayette. Jonathan. Reporter hi david. There is a whole lot they dont know. One, they want to know why he is here in lafayette louisiana he is from the alabama area. Authorities are focusing not just on louisiana but going to alabama to find out more about houser, who few him who spoke to him. Piece together a time line and ultimately a motive. John russell houser, a 59yearold drifter who left a series of antigovernment writings online. We looked at the blogs. He makes rants about situations around the United States, around the world. Police in lafayette louisiana said he opened fire with a season 22 caliber pistol. Killing macy rowe and jillian johnson. We heard shots we took off running and did not look back. As i get to the front i see a middle aged woman with blood coming from her legs. With officers surrounding the theater houser saw no way out. He intended to escape. He had the car parked outside an exit door, emergency exit door outside the theater. We think the early or Immediate Intervention by Law Enforcement prevented him from being able to leave the building so he reentered the theater and thats when he shot himself. We also know that houser was turned down for a concealed weapons permit in phoenix city, alabama, where he lived earlier this year. At the time he applied for the permit he had an arson arrest as well as a Domestic Violence report. The Court Ordered houser not to contact his wife who was afraid of his volatile mental state. We learned that the. 45 caliber was purchased legally in phoenix city alabama. Any time Mass Shootings like this happen, we hear about gun control, louisiana governor bobby jindal was asked numerous questions about gun control but avoided those questions and said it was time for the community to pray. David. Jonathan what is the community saying about the victims . Two young women jillian johnson, 33, all around creative woman and macy brow, described as a really professional young woman, we got information about the nine people who were taken to the hospital after the shooting. We understand if there is any good news in all of this is four people david have been released from the hospital but five still remain there one we understand right now in critical condition. Jonathan martin reporting from lafayette louisiana, thank you. Authorities in louisiana say they will go over every detail of John Russell Housers life. Jonathan betz has also been looking into housers past and joins us jonathan. David, is he described as a drifter, unstable, raising concerns about how to keep troubled people away from weapons. One day after the shooting the question that so many people have is that how john houser a person with a long history of Mental Illness was still able to get a gun and open fire in a crowded Movie Theater. Everyone was just running down the stairs, freaking out climbing over chairs and people and everyone was screaming and it was awful. Reporter in 2006 he was denied a schemed concealed weapons permit. His family had him committed in 2008 and 2009 calling him a danger. Alabama officials voiced their frustration about the difficulty of dealing with case like houser, where there is a mental factor. The cuts around the state is allowing a lot of these people that should not be Walking Around to be out in the community and thats a scary scenario that were dealing with every day. Reporter alabama does not require a permit or license to buy or own a gun yet serious Mental Illnesses should be spotted in background checks. I do see in 08 and 09 he was treated for Mental Illness so that should have stopped him from buying a weapon. Reporter why he earned up in lafayette 500 miles from his home in alabama is unclear. He seems to be estranged from his family members. We talked to the family members who havent seen him or dont have very much contact with him. It seems like he was kind of drifting along. Reporter this is americas third mass shooting in nearly five weeks. Again highlighting a concern about Mental Illness and the ease of obtaining weapons. Be seen in shootings in aurora colorado or in newtown connect connecticut where doctors concerned about adam lanzas stability. The one area where i feel ive been most frustrated most stymied is the United States of america is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common sense, gun safety laws. And police chief in lafayette said houser bought that 40 caliber semi automatic pawn shop and the purchase was indeed legal. David. Jonathan betz, thank you. Dr. Jeffrey lieberman has served as a president of the American Psychiatric association. Good to have you with us. We heard that john houser suffered from Mental Illness there was a restraining order in 2008 that said he had bipolar disorder and man ig depressive state. How often do you hear about these disorders . It seems like its increasing but the reality is that people with Mental Illnesses like bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia account for very small portion of the Violent Crimes in the United States, less than 4 . However, the civilian massacres that we are unfortunately seeing untreated people who have severe Mental Illnesses account for a higher proportion and these crimes are distinct because they dont conform to usual motivations. They are not crimes of greed or theft or something done wantonly without any clear motivation and thats the telltale sign of when its usually perpetrated by somebody with Mental Illness. Nothing about bipolar disorder or manic depress ufness that is of grave concern but when its married with threats against family members those threats are themselves the red flag. Thats right, or radical or biased political ideology, so houser was apparently a devotee of white supremacist movements. People with Mental Illness are often susceptible to that, they embrace these ideologies and include them in their dilutional thition. Mentalthinking. They would no likely have greater potential for these issues than somebody with hypertension or diebth. Isdiabetes. Is there anything we can do . Thats a rhetorical question. Our society in the United States, guilty of this is no more guilty than many other countries in the world have completely failed whether it comes to providing when it comes to providing Effective Mental Health care. And in most cases this only results in people suffering unnecessarily or maybe being homeless. But the tips of the iceberg that really get our attention are things like this. Treed for Mental Illness for a week or for a month but years are you hearing this in Law Enforcement in the courts as well . Slum. They wish there were some Mental Health component when this comes on the police radar . Absolutely. Three weeks ago i gave a lecture to the manhattan District Attorneys office, 400 attorneys part of that office and they are dying for some kind of education and assistance in managing a growing problem of people with Mental Illnesses untreated, who are getting into trouble with the law and coming under their jurisdiction. Dr. Jeffrey lieberman the chair of the department of psychiatry. Thank you for coming in. My pleasure. President obama is in kenya tonight. It is his first visit to his fathers home land since taking office. At the airport in nairobi the president was greeted are attending an economic summit and meet with kenyan leaders. Tonight he had dinner with members of his extended family. Andrew simmons is in nairobi and what are some of the expectations of president obamas visit . David, amongst all of the euphoria here of people, they want to see a peaceful life, they wont be away from the fear terror from al shabaab. Thats what they really want. There is a big expectation that obama will bring more trade. There is a buoyant economy developing here but a bigger divide between the rich and the poor. There are going to be talks from the government aside from the entrepreneurship summit and theres a lot of hope that there will be deals struck on security and indeed strayed. For instance power. So many kenyans dont have electricity. They want more power. They want more business generated and of course, when you look at the economy right now, there is some encouraging trends. And a lot of investment in infrastructure going on right now. How much pride is there in kenya for fact that president obama has family ties to the country and of course just the visit of the president of the United States to a place like kenya is a pretty big deal. Well, massive pride. The entire kenyan media are describing this as obamas homecoming. Itof course he wasnt born here. This is home land of his father who came from the west kenyan village of kogela, mama sarah granny as she known i spoke to her a few days ago. She did say that it wasnt the case that her grandson as she referred to him would be visiting kogelo because of his agenda this was a business trip. But she along with other relatives will be meeting him. Yes, he is regarded as really a part of this country. But there is a rather sad factor, and that is that this has happened so late. This is the fourth african visit that obama will be making. And in fact, thats more than any other sitting u. S. President and its come late. Andrew, what is the reaction been to the visit . Absolutely fantastic. Where he moves to after this, it is everywhere, u. S. Marines were here many days ahead of the president s arrival. There are special forces deployed. The Kenyan Security have perimeters around the main u. S. Security. It is absolutely colossal. And its really quite restrictive in terms of the president s agenda. As he said before, leaving the u. S. , that really, he wishes he could be a private citizen here so that he could move about. But hell be restricted to Conference Rooms and hotels. And that is the case with his visit. Hes not going to get out into the bush it would appear and hes not going to actually really smell the air and get the feel of africa. He has been here many times before his presidency and im sure once his second term is over hell be coming out again. Andrew simmons reporting from nairobi, kenya, thank you. Coming up the request for a Justice Department inquiry into the Hillary Clinton email controversy. Well explore what it could mean for her president ial aspirations. Plus are Companies Like uber good for the employees . Well talk about the gig economy. This is a great place to work. Not because they have yoga meetings and a juice bar. Because theyre getting comcast business internet. Comcast business offers convenient installation appointments that work around your schedule. And it takes done. About an hour. Get reliable internet thats up to five times faster than dsl from the phone company. Call 8005016000 to switch today. Perks are nice. But the best thing you can give your business is comcast business. Comcast business. Built for business. In any National Political campaign the Biggest Issue usually involves, usually the economy. But as the president ial season kicks into gear, the economy is, some younger workers are finding it easier to book short term gigs. Be michaelmichael shure is here, michael pfn. Both Hillary Clinton and jeb bush have done that and politicians are trying to get a handle on what this brandnew economy is all about. Theres a reason why republican president ial candidate would be campaigning in what is perhaps the most liberal city in america. And why that candidate former Florida Governor jeb bush would use an uber to get around san francisco. The city is ground zero for a new kind of economy the gig or sharing, economy. I think both democrats and republicans want the technology, they want to embrace the growth in jobs that technology can bring about. Reporter david hale is the ceo of gig walk, a company be that matches workers with ten minutes or ten hours he and cofounder matt crampleton says the sector of the economy is growing at such a fast pace. They saw the opportunity. The idea of gig came from what a musician does. We made sense to kind of calling it gigwalk, somebody going to a place and performing a gig. These gigs or jobs are causing Democratic Front runner Hillary Clinton the yied of on demand. This on demand or socalled gig economy is creating exciting opportunities and unleashing innovation but its also raising hard questions about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future. On this, jeb bush greez grease jeb bush greez agrees with his opponent. Now two main figures have entered the conversation, political analysts say make this a National Conversation not just one be be focused on a certain area of the economy. On the heart lands, this is an economy that has not yet resonated with most americans. It is a coastal thing millennial thing. By 2020, 40 of americas workforce will be contract workers. We noticed by chance there is no shortage in this whereby market. We found out when uber cancelled on us. To notice how quickly in this gig economy someone was able to take the job after the other guy couldnt. How are you . Fine. People piecing together a living with on demand work. Jorge perez has been driving with uber for three months after 12 year career at fedex. I used to work 16 hours a night. My daughter was four years old and she had barely started kindergarten. Perez says he loves the job and while now he has to provide his own Health Insurance and plan for his retirement, there are other payoffs. With uber there are no benefits but the benefit for me is i can choose my own time and its a lot better than minimum wage work. Perez admits its not full time work for him. He works as a Financial Advisor before he starts driving he doesnt plan to do this long term and driving an uber gives him freedom to spend time with his family and follow other goals. Im trying to travel to europe in a couple of months, probably by the end of september so no ones going to hire me. Christian just graduated from college. His dad supplemented his income to pay for christians tuition. You dont think this would provide that . No, no. These models are not without their detractors, a pool of American Workers without benefits or job security is a problem that needs addressing. David hale feels this is the country forced to keep up with technology. Globalization and technology are trends that we cannot reverse. It is moving forward. Our view of that is people need good jobs and technology thoughtfully implemented can actually give people that are using that Technology Better choices and better access to work. Reporter all of this explains why it is also a burgeoning political issue and one that republicans see as an opportunity. Because where theres money theres politics. And where theres innovation economy now theres politics. Gig walkers and those like them are ahead of the curve and tapping into the new workforce. The question now is which president ial candidate can get ahead of that same curve. And david you see these guys, theyre people gig walkers have 750,000 that they have at gig walk. A lot of people are doing work like this. One of the most interesting things i heard was what david heal toldhale told me. Some do a 9 to 5 job and they do a gig walk on their way to work so they put 20 in their pocket on the way to work. The flexibility, is that the Common Thread that run through people who fill these gigs . Yes, i think its very exciting. Its cash you work for yourself youre not working for a boss. But there are pitfalls and those are some of the pitfalls that Hillary Clinton was talking about. If you are an uber driver and you break your ankle theres no workers comp, no coverage for days off because of injury. There are legal things that need to be worked out but it is something again the people at gig walk talked about it. You have to keep up with the economy. People have to find their way around both legally and technologically. I want to think about how does this issue in your estimation cut in the 2016 president ial campaign . You know, nobody knows more about politics certainly in california than Carla Marinucci that we spoke to in the piece. She thinks theres opportunities for democrats and republicans and jeb bush paying attention to workers is very important because he is also at the same time appealing to Silicon Valley where all of this comes out. They are on the same turf and staking it out and its fascinating and not going to go away. Michael shure, have a great weekend, thank you. Thanks david. Dawn gearhart joinings us in seattle.
