Were learning new details about the accused gunman in el paso who allegedly killed 22 people at a walmart. Investigators are piecing together his timeline and motive leading up to the shooting. Cbs this Morning Lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is in el paso. Good morning, david. What more do we know this morning . Reporter good morning. Id like to begin if i may by setting the scene for you. It is piercingly quiet here. There is a feeling of reverence. Other than the wind, passing traffic and idle hum of First Responders engines it is really quiet. We got new information from officials yesterday who said the suspect apparently chose this walmart randomly and that he got lost in a neighborhood nearby and he came here because he was hungry. Police now tell us the suspected shooter Patrick Crusius after driving ten hours from his home in allen, which is near dallas, to el paso, stopped at the walmart on saturday because he was hungry and randomly chose the walmart to carry out his attack. Authorities say crusius who is now in custody and held without bail has been unemployed for five months and was on food stamps but he bought his high powered rifle legally. Police say a racist manifesto that they believe was written by crusius and posted online before the shooting criticized a growing hispanic population in texas. I kept saying, i need to find my kids. Cbs evening news anchor Norah Odonnell spoke to ray garcia who raced to the scene and pulled several kids from a Girls Soccer Team to safety. Reporter why did you run toward the danger .

We went to noon mass yesterday with javier prado now a u. S. Citizen who moved here from mexico to go to college. The worst thing we can do as a community is stay in fear. We need to show our support and that were not going to be intimidated. Reporter he and several other people we spoke to each brought up the fact they believe President Trumps antiimmigrant rhetoric contributed to what happened. Those are their words. Veronica escobar, a democratic congresswoman representing this area, has said President Trump is not welcomed here. He was invited by the mayor of el paso o who said he had a dut and obligation as mayor to invite the u. S. President and President Trump is coming. I should tell you for the sake of context that el paso is one of the safest cities in the country. Last year they had 23 murders. All year. And this year 22 in one tragedy at the walmart. David, those numbers really give you perspective. A great message from javier to not be intimidated for so many. Thank you, david. One of the 22 People Killed in the el paso massacre was David Johnson who was shopping at the walmart saturday with his wife and their 9yearold granddaughter when the gunman opened fire. Johnsons daughter spoke with cbs evening news anchor and managing editor Norah Odonnell and says her father died shielding her mother and her daughter from the bullets. They were in the check out line . They were in the check out line about to buy everything and she just said she saw him go down after he pushed them. She didnt know what he was trying to tell them, that he was trying to tell them something but that he was just pushing them. Reporter sound like something your dad would do . Yes. A million times yes. My mom and my daughter wouldnt be here if it wasnt for him and what he did. And i couldnt even imagine my daughter i almost lost her. Reporter but your dad saved their lives. He did. Reporter im sorry. Thank you. I feel like im going to wake up and this isnt happening here. We see it everywhere but we dont expect it to be here at home. Melendez says they had just celebrated her fathers 63rd birthday. Oh, my. Thats just really hard to watch. The grief and what people will do for each other in these moments. You dont know how to process that afterward. Wow. All right. We have new details about the troubled history of the shooter who killed nine people in dayton, ohio, including his own sister. The Dayton Daily News reports former friends of the gunman say he once talked about shooting up a bar, popular with students at the university of dayton. In a high school, classmates say he had both a hit list and a rape list. Dean reynolds is in dayton. Whats the latest on the investigation . Reporter good morning. Police say they found at least 41 shell casings here at the crime scene from the gunmans legally obtained and personally modified assault style rifle. In addition, they said he could possibly have used some 250 additional rounds of ammunition. Police stopped him before he could use any of them and enter a bar that was packed at the time. New cell phone video shows the chaos inside the crowded ned peppers bar in daytons oregon district when police stormed in. Just seconds after officers shot and killed connor betts who opened fire on people outside he can be seen face down here in the bars doorway. Police with weapons still pointed at him. Still, amid the confusion and carnage, humanity. Two people in the middle of the bar embracing. Hearing a weapon fired like that in succession like that and you dont know where its coming from, to literally run for your life. Reporter she was in the oregon district when the shooting began. On monday she went back to the scene to pay respects to those who lost their lives. I just think this is really sad and things arent getting done to fix it. Reporter the gunman killed nine people in less than 30 seconds including his sister, 22yearold megan betts. It seems to just defy believability he would shoot his own sister. It is also hard to believe that he didnt recognize that was his sister. I know he got off on making people reporter Aubrey Williams is a former High School Classmate of the shooter and told inside edition he was a bully and she had heard he threatened to kill one of his exgirlfriends. He did make threats often, like just on a dime. It was like it didnt faze him. He didnt have empathy toward what killing somebody meant. Reporter and today Ohio Governor mike dewine proposed socalled red flag legislation that allows Law Enforcement or family members to remove guns from someone who presents a danger to himself or to others. All right. Dean, thank you. In our next hour well talk to a psychologist who interviews mass shooters and their families and find out the common traits her Organizations Research has identified. President trump began his 2016 president ial campaign by saying people from mexico are bringing in drugs and crime into the united states. Well, yesterday he said the suspect who allegedly targeted hispanic people in el paso was consumed by racist hate and called for change. In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and White Supremacy. Mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun. The president did not mention his past comments and he was criticized for being slow to condemn white supremacists. In a statement the American Psychological association said its simplistic and inaccurate to blame Mental Illness for gun violence. Sources tell cbs news that National Rifle Association Executives told the white house they were pleased with the president s remarks. In his response, former president barack obama blamed Public Officials for not putting stronger gun limits in place. Mr. Obama also said in a statement, quote, we should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that normalizes racist sentiments. He did not mention President Trump by name. Former president bill clinton echoed the call for new gun laws. Ed okeefe is covering the road to 2020. Ed, as far as the Democratic Candidates are concerned, what are they saying . Reporter well, dana, what arent they saying . Theyre saying it because there is Strong National support for changes in gun laws like expanding background checks and because polling shows the democrats especiallyt e issue on control. Its irresponsible we dont take action. Reporter 2020 president ial candidates have been blanketing the airwaves since the shootings in texas and ohio. There is a better path we can go down in this country. I mean, it is unspeakable and hard to even talk about it. Reporter but if they win the white house, how would the candidates curb gun violence . There are some differences in the details but democratic contenders generally support expanding the National Gun Background Check system, renewing a ban on military style assault weapons, and passing red flag laws to temporarily block people from buying a gun if theyre considered an imminent risk to themselves or to others. How exactly a ban on assault weapons would work is unclear. According to a 2018 report by the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives, there are roughly 638,000 machine guns in circulation in the u. S. , which includes assault rifles. Former housing sect tri julian castro, former congressman beto orourke, and former Vice President joe biden support a National Assault Weapons buyback program. We can, in fact, make a major effort to get them off the street and out of the possession of people. Reporter new jersey senator cory booker is among those pushing for national gun licensing. You need a lines in america to drive a car. You should need a license to buy a gun and possess it. Reporter and the minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar and others want to close the socalled boyfriend loophole activists say alou people who have abused someone to still buy firearms. In congress some republicans are saying they are willing to work with democrats to implement the red flag laws. In recent days democrats have been calling on Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to recall the senate and take up gun control legislation. He isnt planning on doing that but in a statement yesterday said, Senate Republicans are, quote, prepared to do our part to engage in bipartisan discussions of potential solutions to help protect our communities without infringing on americans constitutional rights. Jericka . Ed, thank you. Once again we wait to see what happens. For the fourth time in less than two weeks north korea test fired more missiles amid a standstill in nuclear talks. Two short range Ballistic Missiles were launched from near the countrys west coast, splashing down off the east coast. The test comes as the north lashed out at the u. S. And south korea for preparing joint military exercises this month. Pyongyang said the drills incite tensions and violate agreements. Overnight u. S. Defense secretary mark esper said the u. S. Will not over react to the test. Wall street opened higher after yesterdays worst losses of the year following chinas response to the president s newest tariff threat. The Treasury Department is now labelling china a currency manipulator. This means the u. S. Is officially accusing beijing of devaluing its money to gain an unfair competitive advantage in international trade. Cbs News Business analyst shows what this worsening dispute means for your money. Good morning. What is the fall out of this escalating trade war for the economy . Well, forgetting the markets for a second, we know that the overall u. S. Economy was already slowing down. Manufacturing activity at a threeyear low. Just yesterday we got some information out of the service sector. It is starting to feel the pinch as well. You add this on top of it and now we have to say, what are the trump tariffs targeting . They are targeting consumer goods that we use every day. Were looking at an alarming drop in exports. Yes. So we have imports down of course but also exports so that hurts manufacturing. But if you look at this next round of tariffs that was announced last week to go into effect on september 1st, laptops, cell phones, toys, clothing, all of these things could rise in price because those tariffs might get passed along to consumers. Right now consumers are doing pretty well. If these prices start to inch up will they spend as freely . The big concern among economists is that they dont and that would slow down growth even more in the second half of the year. The idea of china being a currency manipulator for people that dont understand exactly what that means what is that . Theyre bad. In a word. Its symbolic more than anything else. There used to be a way you could go to the imf and do something about this but this is a largely symbolic label. It is important to note we havent labeled china a currency manipulator since the 90s so 25 years since that. It just brings the trade conflict to another more serious level. When you look at sort of the escalating tensions with us and china, can you just take us back to how we got here . Well, you know, if you go back we had tariffs on 250 billion worth of goods that came into china. Theres a 25 tariff there. Now china then retaliated. They put tariffs on u. S. Goods into china. Now we have this new round that could be coming out september 1st, the 300 billion of goods that are not currently under a tariff would be tariffed by 10 . China then comes out and says we dont have that many more goods to actually put tariffs on that come in from the u. S. We are going to weaken our currency. Why . They want to make chinese products more affordable in the global economy. U. S. Says thats unfair. A lot of people i talked to think these new tariffs are going to 25 in a hurry. We are looking at a lot of pressure on u. S. Consumers if that happens. Any sign of an end to the trade war . Nothing on tap. All right. Thank you very much. Some breaking news to report. We learned a short time ago that Toni Morrison the first black female author to receive the nobel prize has died. Morrison wrote a series of highly praised novels about africanamerican life. She was best known for her 1987 novel beloved which won a Pulitzer Prize and was made into a movie by oprah winfrey. Morrison was a successful book editor before she published her first book in 1970. She was awarded the nobel prize less than 25 years later. A documentary on her life called the pieces i am was released in june. Toni morrison was 8 l years old. Embattled singe
