Hes just standing up just shooting at the whole crowd. Luke at knepper was seated in the same row as houser. There were several empty seats between them. Hes like six, seven seats down from us. He just looked like a common guy, anyone off the street. Just good looking guy. Just normal. And hes in his late 50s and white hair white facial hair. And said nothing. Reporter witnesses heard popping noises and saw flashes of light. Some people ran out without their shoes and abandoned their belongings. He was by himself. Sat by himself.

Jeff pegues is in washington with what we know so far about the shooter. Reporter investigators have identified the shooter as John Russel Houser. Hed been in the lafayette area since july.

Hillary clintons use as private emails while secretary of state could become a criminal department. The Justice Department has been asked to open up a criminal investigation. Two government watchdogs are concerned whether classified information was mishandled. Jan crawford is in washington with the growing email controversy. Reporter good morning. The Justice Department confirms that two inspectors general, one at the state department and a second with intelligence agencies have asked to open a criminal investigation. At issue is whether Hillary Clinton sent classified information on her private email account she was using while secretary of state. Clinton has repeatedly said she did not but the Inspector General says her private account contains hundreds of potentially classified materials including at least one thats been publicly released. The Campaign Said any released emails deemed classified have been done so after the fact. And clinton said back in march, quote, i did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. She said she used the account for convenience. It also made it harder for congress and the media to get access to her emails as secretary of state and shes asked the state department to release those emails. The Justice Department has not decided if it will open an investigation. Donald trump is not backing down this morning from his hardline stance on illegal immigration. He made a whirlwind visit to the u. S. Border with mexico. He drew both protests and supporters. Nancy cordes is in laredo texas, where trump repeatedly spoke of the danger high faced. Reporter before he came here, he warned he may not survive his visit because it was so dangerous. That may help explain why he ended up deciding to spend very little time here at the actual border. Like a soldier ready for battle donald trump landed in laredo and said he was willing to take his life in his hands to see the u. S. Border. People have said its so dangerous what youre doing, mr. Trump. I have to do it. I have to do it. Reporter he got in his motorcade and headed straight to an air conditioned Border Crossing office building. Emerging about a half an hour later for a press conference under a tent outside. We have a tremendous danger on the border with illegals coming in. Reporter his provocative comments have earned him condemnation and new fans. They are bringing drugs, crime, theyre rapists. Theyre taking our money. Theyre taking everything and killing us on the border. Reporter but proof for those assertions has been hard to come by. Have you seen any evidence to confirm your fears about why and ive heard it from a lot of people. What evidence specifically . Well be showing you the evidence. When . A tour of the border had to be scrapped after the local Border Patrol union pulled out. In a statement, the Regional Union office said we need to have an honest discussion about Border Security but unfortunately trumps comments have created an environment hostile to that conversation. Its a big problem. Reporter gop frontrunner insisted the comments have been taken out of context. Big crowds screaming in favor of trump because they want the problem fixed. Reporter trumps entire visit lasted about 3 1 2 hours and at no point did his life appear to be in any danger. Local officials joked he may have been safer here than in his hometown ever new york city because the murder rate there is significantly higher. Nancy cordes, thank you.
