Were following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to Cnn News Central the 14yearold Suspect in the deadliest School Shooting thus far this year is set to make his first court appearance tomorrow. Officials say the 14yearold will be charged as an adult accused of Yesterdays Rampage inside his school, apalachee high in winder, georgia to fellow 14yearold students, Mason Schermerhorn and Christian Angulo were killed along with two math teachers, Richard Aspinwall and Christina Era me were now learning that the teen was questioned by Law Enforcement last year about threats to commit a School Shooting and it an an unidentified location and time. This is according to federal and state officials, and this was when the suspect lived in a Neighboring County Cnns Nick Valencia is live outside apalachee High School Tracking all these developments. Nick, were getting New Details about what happened during that visit by Law Enforcement to the student last year. Bring us up to speed. Boris that incident is being brought back into focus because of what happened here yesterday, and we are getting New Details about that visit. Law enforcement officials, the fbi had left office around along with local Law Enforcement, releasing a statement saying that this suspect, when he was 13yearsold in 2023, was questioned because of a series of Anonymous Tips that came in that alleged that he was making threatening messages online. He denied making those messages and were getting New Details in these Charging Documents obtained by senior Producer Devin sayers. And this is what his father told investigators when he was interviewed saying, quote, colt is allowed to use them when supervised, talking about the Hunting Rifles were in the home. But does not have unfettered access to them. The father went on to say that colt assured me that he never made any threats to shoot up any school. I urge colin to keep his firearms locked up and advised him to keep cold out of The School until this matter could be resolved. Whats unclear at this point is if those interviews, if this discussion with Law Enforcement officers, if any of it was communicated with the School Officials here. And look for all the questions there are this morning and this afternoon about what happened here yesterday. Theres clearly a lot that was done right here by The School. They had automatic doors that locked and they also implemented recently a new Security System that was consequential. Police say getting Law Enforcement officers here as quickly as they responded. For us. And Nic One eyewitness actually spoke to cnn yesterday. She was sitting next to the suspect in Class Right before the shooting and she gave New Details about what she observed. Tell us about that yeah. Chilling New Details. And you have to remember that Colt Gray, the suspect in the shooting was a new student, relatively new student here at this High School. So pretty much unfamiliar to a lot of the classmates around him, but listen to his classmate describe what she saw her sitting next to him in class before the shooting . He isnt the bathroom and im missing classes normal and were working. And my friend goes to the bathroom and a little bit later and measure it comes in looking for them one of them and they mistook my friend for him and they take my friend, like his bag and a little bit later, hope he comes back in with his bag and i had asked him like, oh, what happened and he was like, oh, i dont know. They were looking for the next few, not me standby he will be charged as an adult. The Big Question here, how did he get his hands . Hands on that ar style 15 rifle . And were there any warning signs that could have been listened to force Nick Valencia live for us in winder, georgia. Nick, thank you so much, brianna. The community where that School Shooting took place is reeling todays students are processing the horror and the trauma of what happened on their campus i heard gunshots, sounded like someone just banging on the door on in a Red Alert popped up on the screen and then a light went off and it sort of hit me what was happening when two a corner and teachers are a little bit panicked, but they held themselves that got us in the corner i follow the procedure of a School Shooting, a drill. I was scared. I was going to die to be honest and when i heard hard lockdown and i knew it was in a drill, i immediately texted my dad and i was just like, i dont know if this is a drill. Im really scared and i just kept my feet up and i prayed and i close my eyes and i tried to stay calm and about shaking. I was worried that they would hear me. But when i heard gunshots, i was just i knew they were approximately like four classes away from mine we were in a presentation and then all of a sudden the hard Lockdown Screen came on our tv and looks like a moment. I was just straight silence and then you just hear gunshots and everyone just runs to the corner. After about like 15 minutes the police like, oh, locked the Door And Barr scene. We had to put her hands up he had like searches. So make sure No One here with the shooter and they were trying to hide for some more perspective on the investigation that is unfolding right now, were joined now by former senior fbi official, katherine schweit. Shes a Consultant And Speaker on Workplace Violence and also an expert on active shooters. And catherine, i do just want to know we just have some reporting that i just got in from our Josh Campbell that says authorities searching the Home Home of the suspect, Colt Gray found documents that they believe he wrote referencing past School Shootings. This is according to a Law Enforcement source who is familiar with the investigation, and that the writings were discovered in his bedroom and included references to the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman douglas High School in florida. Is that par for the course for you . What do you think about learning that it is when we talk about teenagers high School Age shooters they dont start out, its fiveyearold to want to become shooters. They decide to do that. And part of their decision to get to that point as too research others, we saw you made a reference to, weve made references to the fact that this this Court Account where this kid that this kid had his Name And Russian was lanza adam lanza, the shooter from sandy hook. We know that that sandy Hook Shooter had a big display on his Bedroom Wall Weve seen time after time after time shooters who admire and make lists of other shootings and look at the clothing they wore, the weapons they carried the ammunition they used their targets their techniques before the shootings very, very typical in a great, a great advertisement for the fact that no child so to have privacy and their own bedroom so very interesting point. What, what questions do you have right now about this case the information that youre getting about josh having that information in his room in the kid, having it newsroom. Thats information that tells us this was a long planned event and the location might have just been the serendipity, the opportunity to get to this school. He was brand new at this school. But if he had remained in his community in this previous community where he lived with his dad The School there would have been the target. We know shooters go back to their shooter, their schools. He probably was looking for whatever look current target was and it happened sadly to be The School when authorities questioned the suspect in his father a year ago its about online threats to commit a School Shooting. And as youre well aware, even falling all these details Suspects Father told Law Enforcement in a Neighboring County where they had then lived. The yes, there were Hunting Rifles in the house, but that his son did not have unfettered access to them, had supervised access to them, and then the boy denied making online threats. But you mentioned the discord account. I wonder if you think more could have been done or if it also reaches a certain point where Law Enforcement is trying to chase down so many things. Its hard to tell what is the signal and what is the noise . Yeah, and The Cross you know, The Crossover is reasonable. Suspicion and probable cause and in can you do you do your Due Diligence as a Law Enforcement officer, whether youre federal, state, local, or tribal, to try to investigate and run things out. But youre not allowed under the law to continue to run things out to the point where youre basically just invading Somebodys Privacy endlessly. You cant just leave a case open because somebody said something or in this case, we have information that an account which traced back to his house. So its even more tenuous unless you get closer and closer. Closer and closer you want to run your leads out as an officer or the agent. There isnt anything else you can do in terms of Law Enforcement, but i think there are other things that we can do as a community and that includes Sharing Concerns and understanding what behaviors that we should be looking for and taking Care Of, not just just the parents, the students the teachers, but its got its got to be a whole of Community Kind of solution in order to catch somebody along a pathway to violence yeah. It is. Were learning new information really by the hour, catherine. Thank you so much for your insights. We appreciate it thank you. Still ahead, 61 days until election day.

This is cnn today, the judge in former president Donald Trumps federal election subversion case, making it known shes not considering the 2024 president ial election or trumps Campaign Schedule and deciding next steps in the case and the first hearings since the supreme courts immunity ruling, Judge Tanya Chutkan pushed back against trumps legal team, saying the November Election is not relevant as she decides how the case will move forward. Cnn senior crime and Justice Reporter Katelyn Polantz is live outside the Federal Courthouse for us here in washington, kaitlan. What more did we learn from todays hearing well, boris, it was quite a zippy hearing, a buffer about an hour and 15 minutes. Judge. Tanya chutkan went back and forth primarily with Donald Trumps defense lawyer, john lauro, whos trying to put things on hold as long as he can to make things last a long time so that they can do legal arguments, gather their information, look at things. But inside this building in Judge Chutkans courtroom, the election just is not playing a role for Donald Trump as a criminal defendant. A quote from the judge, im not talking about how the presidency of the united states im talking about the four corners of the indictment. Yet they still have to talk about the presidency because in this case they have to figure out what to do with president ial immunity and how it applies here to Donald Trump after the election especially in his exchanges with the then Vice President , Mike Pence and the Justice Department is prepared in just a couple of weeks to start laying out evidence. If the judge wants it, then to put in papers Grand Jury transcripts, interview records, documents, fbi memos, all kinds of cases because of evidence, weve never seen before that arent even mentioned in the indictment. Theyre ready to go if thats what the judge wants to do next so kaitlan, what are we anticipating is going to be the next shoe to drop . What comes next . Well, today, even we could have Judge Tanya Chutkans decision on what the schedule is going forward and when the Justice Department could potentially be laying out this evidence that they say they have ready to share and make public to a certain extent. The thing though that we dont have at this time is a trial date. The judge is pretty clear. Shes not going to set one at this time because everybody in this case agrees, boris, theres going to be at least one more round of appeals thats going to put everything on hold. Katelyn polantz live outside the Federal Courthouse. Thank you so much. Lets discuss further with john dean, who served as white House Counsel for former president richard nixon, also with us former federal prosecutor, jennifer rodgers. Thank you both for being with us. Firstly, you, jennifer was today, uh, win for one side or the other. How do you read it . Well, not really a win for one side or the other. I would say, i mean, judge chutkin, who i continue to be impressed by, by the way, continues to kind of give each side some of what they want, but not all of what they want. I think if you had to pick, you would say it was a win for the government because Judge Chutkan made clear that she doesnt agree with Judge Cannon in florida, is dismissal of that case on the grounds of the Special Counsel was not properly appointed and she also doesnt seem seem inclined to string out this series of motions and let them do one at a time and all that sort of backandforth that would take months and months on the their hands. The government wanted her to reject as waived the arguments. Some of the arguments that the Trump Team was making because they didnt make them soon enough pursuant to the prior schedule. And she seemed inclined to consider those show she gave each side a little bit, but continues to keep tight reins on this thing to move it along to the extent that she can can john, what stood out to you in court in particular, i would say the fact that she doesnt think this election that is all around us is going to influence her decision on this case at all . And thats the actually the norm and the way it should be, unlike some of the other cases where its playing a bigger role. So i think thats the most Standout Point to me that shes all business no politics in her courtroom. And were gonna get a Schedule Today and that will resolve a lot of these issues now, i love the way john described the election. Its all around us. Its all consuming. It seems at times, john, im curious how about how you think Judge Chutkan is going to approach this Superseding Indictment is she inclined . Does it seem to you to leave it as is or potentially . Ask for more changes it appears to me based on the Hearsay Reporting we get out of the court secondhand. That may be a transcript later today to or soon thereafter, and well have a better idea, but it seems that shes going to try to make some sense out of the supreme courts ruling that shes going to dive right into the issue of whether or not Mike Pence, the Vice President can be a player in this trial or not. The government wants that, they want to cast him not as his role as Vice President but as the president of the senate and a candidate for reelection. So that and i dont, i heard nothing that she rejected any of that outright notwithstanding arguments by trumps lawyers. So i i i just i thought i had a very good feel about today that were in the hands of very competent judge and shes going to make some very clear Decisions Today that will as a result of scheduling and well have a better feel that when that schedule comes out jennifer, how could this issue of Mike Pence and whether what he was doing was, you know, an official act or an unofficial act . How could that affect the strength of the Special Counsels case they wanted to that part of the criminal Hesu Campaign on Mike Pences because it is one of the strongest parts of the case. I mean, these Phone Calls and all of this pressure as the other parts of the scheme were failing and were not getting trump what he wanted the last Ditch Effort to get Mike Pence not to accept the real electors and to throw it all back into voting. Whos a huge part of this really . Part. And so i think they really want to keep that in, Judge Chutkans challenge so is to just make sure that it is properly staying in. I mean, No One, not the judge, certainly. And not the prosecutors although i shouldnt say No One because i think Team Trump wants this. They dont want to go up the chain again twice. We know were going to have appeals on the Immunity Decision that Judge Chutkan makes. We dont want to have it go back up and then im back on further careful to evaluate all of this with a very close eye on this Mike Pence evidence and hopefully get it right so that we only have one more set of appeals before she can set a trial date. John, im curious to get your reaction to Judge Chutkan saying that anything that she decides is going to get appealed. She notes that the entire process is going to be challenged the entire way through by trumps legal team in myriad ways. What did you make of that well, the fact that shes open to the idea that shell entertain whether they can even appeal whether the Special Prosecutor is properly appointed. While she wouldnt let it in today and theyre not timely. She didnt throw it out as something they couldnt even raise. Shows how fair she is and how shes going to look at everything. So in that context, the fact that shell be reviewed on everything is not terribly surprising, but shes a good judge. And i think shell make the right decisions in these cases. She will be fair. And so shell probably survive any appeals all right. John dean, jennifer rodgers. Great to have you. Thank you so much and still ahead, israeli prime Minister Netanyahu not mincing words about a possible truce with hamas. He says, quote, theres not a deal in the making, but the biden White House says an agreement is 90 complete were going to ask the State Department about the mixed messages plus a big development in Hunter Bidens federal Tax Evasion Case, the president s son offering to change his plea to avoid trial.

Vance is once again using the military to try to score political points. This is what he said Tuesday Night on fox we really are on the brink of serious Readiness Issues because nobody wants to put on a uniform and serve in Kamala Harriss military. This is a person who wants the united States Army to be about Gender Inclusion, ridiculous diversity politics instead of about serving your country and uniting to together as americans to serve on the same team and defend your nation lets go through this Military Recruitment Numbers have dipped. Thats true. The number of eligible 18 to 24 yearolds, the group, the military most often draws from shrink from 2017 to 2022, largely because they were disqualified for for obesity, drug use, and poor performance on aptitude testing. And Military Recruiting has also taken a hit as the economy has done better, and people find Job Opportunities outside the armed forces. When we look specifically at the army, which is the biggest Service Branch and has had the biggest problems meeting its Recruiting Goals the issue is not with female recruits male recruitment has fallen 35 since 2013, while women have held steady, meaning they now account for a larger percentage of enlistees according to military military. Com vances insinuation that women in the military are a problem, is a Talking Point that some im conservatives have been wearing out for years, like tucker carlson, who memorably said this in 2021 so weve got new hairstyles and Maternity Flight suits, pregnant women are going to fight our wars. Its a mockery of the u. S. Military carlson has since departed from fox, but not from his opinion on this matter. This is what he said just yesterday for sending women to go fight our wars. That first of all, thats not thats not a liberation movement. Thats the kind of slavery. And its totally wrong again, women in the military or not a problem, Military Leaders will tell you theyre essential without women, there would be a Readiness Issue in the army. Women account for a steady supply of enlistees and theyre increasingly represented in the officer corps, west point, the Army Service Academy had for rhodes scholars in 2022 all women, the military is not a casual profession its a tough path, especially for women. They face the same challenges that men do. And then some, theyre more likely to be sexually assaulted, for instance, and weve seen them experienced sexism even at the highest levels when president biden entered the White House, he promoted to women to elite fourstar commands after their promotions have been delayed beyond the 2020 election by top pentagon officials in the Trump Administration out of fear that President Trump would scuttle their nominations simply because they were women, according to the New York Times an actual case of gender exclusion, as vance lambastes a candidate who he says focuses too much on Gender Inclusion and who he rails against for hailing from a family that does not serve in the military and of course its not her family thats going to be fighting that war. Its going to be working and middleclass kids across the state of pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. So if youre a person thinking about joining the military, youre probably not going to want to sign up if Kamala Harris is the potential commanderinchief . Vance conveniently ignores that Donald Trumps family has no apparent plans to serve in the military either. The people on these tickets with military Service Or Harriss running mate, tim walz, who spent 24 years in the national Guard And Vance himself, who spent four years in the marines and like all service members swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution Of The United States and to obey orders from the president , whoever that president may be.

This comes after a senior biden Administration Official said on wednesday that negotiators are basically 90 of the way there while acknowledging that there are sticking points, netanyahu says that is simply not the case. Listen hamas is not there with a deal. Theres not a deal in the making unfortunately, that it still hasnt happened they want to reconstitute their Terror Kingdom and its unfortunate stock close, but well do everything we can. The get them to the point where they do make a deal we have a lot of questions and joining us now is principal Deputy Spokesperson for the State Department, vedant patel, vedant. Thank you so much for being with us what do you make of the discrepancy here between what were hearing from u. S. Officials and what were hearing from netanyahu does it seem that the u. S may be misinterpreting his position in the negotiations boris so good to be with you and thanks so much for having me look Secretary Blinken was in the region just a number of weeks ago where he announced that the government but israel, including the Prime Minister, agreed to the Bridging Proposal that president biden laid out earlier this year and that of course continues to be the case and imperative also continues to be on hamas to get to yes. And are in irreplaceable partners in Qatar And Egypt continue to be doing that work around the clock. I can say that everyone across this administration from the president , the Vice President , a secretary of state, the national Security Adviser are squarely focused on getting a deal across the Finish Line. It is the single best and most important but one thing that can happen to ensure that israel has the security it needs. But also alleviate the unbearable suffering that the palestinian people have been having to deal with since the horrific October 7 Terrorist attacks while you put out the idea that the u. S. Has committed to a deal at every facet of the administration. The Prime Minister in israel is being accused of purposefully tanking a deal with hamas, making lastminute demands do you believe that netanyahu has been negotiating in good faith look, i im certainly not going to negotiate in public, but what i can reiterate as what you heard clearly from the president and the secretary of state, which is that the government of israel, including the Prime Minister, have committed to the Bridging Proposal so that was laid out by the president. And of course continuing work as necessary to talking about some of the specific technical and implementing details as it relates to that, that work will continue it sounds like Theres Confidence within the administration that he means what he says about striking a deal. So im wondering how critical in your eyes is it for netanyahu to have that Idf Presence in the Philadelphi Corridor is the u. S. Position that removing israeli troops as a nonstarter so look, i am it will be deeply unhelpful to the process to negotiate in public. What i can say is that the united states is committed to israels security. And of course, there are legitimate Security Concerns for israel stemming from gaza and when we talk about the future of the Gaza Strip ensuring that it is no longer a springboard for terrorism on the israeli people is tantamount. And that is why the single best thing that can happen is a ceasefire deal. And thats what were focused on. But beyond that, im just not going to negotiate about like i totally understand it and i respect that. I am curious how you can approach this situation when you have accusations that neither side is really wanting to make a deal. Because for hamas, Barak Ravid recently reported that they also added lastminute demands, including increasing the release the number of certain prisoners that they want released. And we also had the recent execution of hostages. So does it seem from your view that a deal is still actually possible . And what happens if it doesnt come to fruition . Well, the tragic murder of these hostages is just hurting her horrific reminder of why we need to get the Ceasefire Done Thats something that the united states is going to continue to be focused on. Were certainly never going to turn our back on this and were eager to keep working get this across the Finish Line. We continue to believe that it is possible but look, youve heard colleagues of mine across the administration say that this process, its negotiation and its not only going to require hamas to get to yes. But its also going to require some flexibility on behalf of the government of israel. And that is process that is ongoing and one thats going to continue and beyond that, its one that the united states is deeply engaged on im also curious for donald, what message you might have for the families of american hostages. Because an Administration Official globally told cnn that a unilateral deal to return those hostages is unrealistic we understand that they had approached the biden administration on getting some kind of unilateral deal outside of any deal between israel and hamas what would you say to those families . Look, boris the nice Family Members are dealing within unbearable Heartache And Pain that neither you or i could possibly even fathom what i would say is that the united states has committed its doing everything we can to ensure that all of the remaining hostages can return home and can be reunited. With their Loved Ones and the best and single path forward to that is a ceasefire deal. One that is in the spirit of the contours laid out by president biden earlier this year, that bridge Bridging Proposal that the government of israel and the Prime Minister have agreed to. And one that we are continuing to work around the clock to get across the Finish Line with hamas getting to a yes, but also working on some of the more specific implementing and technical pieces but on patel, we have to leave the conversation there. Appreciate you joining us and look forward to expanding the conversation in the future thanks for having me of course still ahead.

Called now im Bill Weir on the California Coast and this is cnn happening now, a Hunter Biden back in court attempting to change his plea to avoid trial in his federal Tax Evasion Case out of california his lawyers announced the offer in court earlier today, moments before Jury Selection was set to begin, prosecutors were quick to push back. Lets take you now, live outside the courthouse in l. A. With cnns evan perez. Evan tell us about this Plea Offer well, there was a bit of a surprise this morning when we were here for Jury Selection, boris and what instead, hunter sure. Bidens attorneys decided to do was to offer to change his plea to whats known as an alford plea, where he would maintain his innocence while also accepting whatever faith the judge, whatever sentence the judge hands down. Its a way for him to avoid pleading guilty to these charges. Now, as a reminder, hes facing three fellow Felony Counts for tax evasion. Hes also facing 36 Misdemeanor Counts for failing to file and pay his taxes on time and so we have about 120 jurors who showed up today for the beginning of Jury Selection. And what hunter Bidens Attorneys are doing is saying that instead of going through with this trial, of course, which is a very expensive thing given the fact that Hunter Biden has already gone through one trial in delaware where he was found guilty on gun charges. What theyre trying to do is its resolve this case in a way whereby he maintains his innocence. But instead acknowledges that the government has more than enough evidence to likely convicted. So the proceeding, the Court Hearing is continuing in the courthouse behind me. We will see whether we are going to get to Jury Selection section is still ongoing behind and evan, this kind of charge, the senate plea, i should say is exceedingly rare. What do you think . Goes into the calculus of deciding how this is going to move forward right . This is exceedingly rare that Justice Department has general policy against accepting these socalled alford please. Its at the prosecutors inside have been pushing back saying that it would to be an injustice for him to try to resolve this without admitting guilt to all these charges. And so what they are pushing for the judge to do is instead to reject this. Now, what the judge has said right now is that hes not going to make a Decision Today on this hes asking for the two sides too. You present their briefs to make their arguments as to what he should do next. But really, it is a very exceedingly rare thing for this to happen in Federal Court and again, we could continue with Jury Selection. In the meantime, while the judge makes a decision course. Evan perez live for us in l. A thank you so much. Brianna. A Secret Battle for control of one of the worlds most powerful Media Empires, rupert Murdochs Family locked in a legal fight over who will eventually take the reins of the family dynasty. Now, major news outlets including cnn, are pushing for the court to make it public. Cnns Hadas Gold has more briana in july, the New York Times reported that Rupert Murdoch wants to change what will happen to his company after he passes away. There had been and they were vocal Family Trust that placed equal Voting Shares in the hands of his four eldest children but according to this New York Times report, Rupert Murdoch wants to change that and put more control in the hands of lachlan. Lachlan, of course, is one of his sons who has seen to be as more politically aligned with Rupert Murdoch. And according to the New York Times, in this filing, to try and change the trust, Rupert Murdoch says that his companies will be in a better hands with lachlan murdoch, a concern that the other children would change the sort of political leanings of these companies that include Fox News and the wall street journal. But this has all been done incredibly secretly in Nevada Courts. There has been absolutely no public access to anything thats going on. And now, a coalition of Media Companies, including thanks, cnn, are trying to change that. Cnn, along with lawyers for the New York Times associated press, reuters, npr, and the Washington Post have jointly filed a petition to try and get these proceedings opened up because until now they werent anywhere on the dockets on in this court in new york, didnt even know that it existed as a Member Number of the public. And in this filing, these Media Companies are saying that that is against the constitutional right to access. They say Nevada Courts are accountable to the public and the public is entitled to know whether the trust at issue is being administered in accordance with the law. Certainly an entire matter cannot be sealed such that its very existence is not a public record, even if all the parties to the litigation agree. They also note that the succession which yes, a lot of this goes perfectly with the Show Succession will actually affect many jobs and it will also affect the landscape of, of politics in the united states. Going forward because of such great influence, we see from platforms like Fox News or the wall street journal, or these other companies that Rupert Murdoch currently controls. Now, there has been some progress in getting at least some more information about what this case will look like. There is now a docket that is publicly available on the Nevada Courts website. Its called it do trust case. It doesnt give you any details on the names or anything like that, but it does show that there is supposed to be another day in court for this case on september 10, brianna all right. Hadas gold.
