I knew that i couldnt just ignore that. This man said he contacted the fbi when someone under the name nikolas cruz posted a comment saying he will be a professional School Shooter on his youtube. The fbi investigated but the tip did not go anywhere. The fbi conducted database reviews, but was unable to further identify the person who made the comment. Reporter and the leader of a White Nationalist group said that he was a member but acted on his own. The suspect legally bought the rifle he used in the rampage. Obviously i am traumatized. And heartbroken that this happened at my school. Reporter investigators say the main focus now is making sure their is justice for the People Killed and the survivors. Right now, we are on a successful prosecution of this killer. We will not leave any stone unturned. We want to show you some live pictures where thousands have gathered in parkland, at a get candlelight vigil. This is just one frame, the wide pictures show a sea of people, outside the amphitheater. It is being led by local rabbis. We are also told there is heavy security at the event. One of many vigils and Worship Services that have been taking place and will continue in the parkland area. This Deadly School shooting has once again stirred debate about gun control and Mental Health. We are at the white house where the president addressed the shooting without a mention of gun violence. No parent should ever have to fear for their children when they kiss them goodbye in the morning. Strong words from the president. As the nation mourned, all of those killed. The president pledging to make schools safer and tackle the issue of Mental Health. He also spoke directly to americas children. There are people who care about you, who love you. They will do anything to protect you. If you need help, turn to a teacher, a family member, a local police officer, or a faith leader. One topic he did not mention, gun control. The attack for prompted renewed debate, democrats around the country are calling for action. Children are dying in our schools. All the congress has to say is lets have a moment of silence. House Speaker Paul Ryan said people should think less about taking sides and more about coming together. One thing we know, if there are early indications for Mental Illness, i think we have to do a better job that people dont slip through the cracks. And the secretary of state is facing tough questions, talking about the president s new budget. He said he would speak to the president and other members of the cabinet about gun violence. At the white house, i am kevin cork. We have had a mass shooting at a church in texas, at the concert in las vegas, and at a school campus. Even if your children are not at the school, they can be affected by this, how do you approach this with your children. For more, we are adjourned are joined by merv from common sense. You have tips on how to deal with children. How about the youngest kids . What should you do as a parent when the children see these stories. This is what happened this morning with my own sevenyear old. She walked into the room as we got ready, it was on the tv. The conversation we had was, dont worry, you are safe, your school is a safe place and everyone is here to be there for you. Also, letting her know that what happened is different from what she sees on tv. Recognizing that there are differences between what really happened and perhaps fantasy material they might see on the tv. The number one, if they have questions, outside of making sure they are safe, make sure you can answer those questions. Make sure you are speaking to them with words that are supportive, not necessarily that will cause more stress or anxiety. By using some of the scarier words. Also, making sure that if these are images coming up on the tv, shut them down for a bit. Make sure it is not a 24 7 thing. I was just going to say, you dont want them to go to bed with nightmares. But what about the older children, they start to have independent thinking and a better sense of what is going on. Maybe up to seventh grade, there is a different way to handle those kids . The reality is a lot of them may have already heard about this before you can even talk to them. Getting a good sense of where they heard of the information and how accurate it is. And also being there for them, a lot of these kids are not even sure what to think of this. You want to make sure they know they are safe. Also, recognizing that if these pressures are happening, who they talk to. Where can they go. And to help them find appropriate places to find the information. And then we get to the more challenging age, teenagers are teenagers, they dont want to talk to you. It is hard to know which way they are going. When they see Something Like this, they can say i know someone like that at school. Or someone who might be that kind of person. It is an opportunity to really encourage something we call, being upstanding. If you see signs or you feel concerned, knowing where to go and what resources at the school to go to. Just asking, what can we do if we see Something Like this happening. Knowing some good crisis text lines, or places for more information. They may not be ready to talk about you right away, but making sure they have the resources they need is important. The idea is to just talk about it. Keep looking for answers until you work your way through this. That is what we are all doing, even the adults. Merv from common sense media, inc. For joining us. Thank you for joining us. The senate denied the latest immigration deal. It felt 21 votes short, it would have created a path to citizenship for the dreamers, funding the border walls and tightened restrictions on illegal immigration. The president said he would veto an additional measure. The measure, also went down by six votes. I think this is a decision the senate is going to regret. I hope we can remedy the injustice soon. I think we missed an opportunity for the american people. And we missed a opportunity for the dock an immigrant daca immigrants. The Supreme Court could announce tomorrow if they will hear the case. Coming up, he is a threetime olympic champion and also a role model for thousands of children with a specific heart defect.

Reporter every spring is a little different, as the players roles evolve. No one fits the category more than pablo sandoval, he was part of the three world series championships, then he went to the red sox where he was hurt, and he came to the giants late last year. He would not have been required to be here, but now he is potentially a catcher. His role, if you make makes the team is to be a super utility guy. We know what he did on third, and that will be the role. I did speak to him this morning. I guess the panda hats are back. There were a couple years where we didnt see them but they are back. It is exciting. Everything we have been doing. We have great fan support. We do everything we can to give the most excitement to them. I am going to be ready, i just want to be part of the team. Try winning some games. Another guy who is trying for a comeback is the ace of the giants, madison. He went from the elite league last year, and that he had that dirt bike accident missing three months of the season. When he came back, he really wasnt his old self until maybe the end of the year. We saw in this recent post season, they are coming up with the theory that starting pitchers should maybe only work through the opposing lineup two times around and then go to the bullpen specialist. If there is anyone who doesnt fit that category it is him. I am just more of an oldschool mindset kind of guy. To me, this is the way the game should be played. Whatever ends up happening, i still love this game and i will still compete. To me, this is baseball. Tell me how he feels. [ laughter ] all kidding aside, that is not the case with all pitchers. You know . Every game is different. You have your elite pitchers, making it a different game, lets be different, honest. The good news is if you are a madison fan, the coach looks at what the guy does out there on the mound and makes his decisions accordingly. The other thing about not having him in the lineup, he is a guy who has 17 career home runs. He actually had two home runs in the giants opener, they didnt win, but you want him in the ballgame as much as you can. We have more coming up at 5 00. Reporting live from scottsdale, im joe fonzi i could listen to him talk all day. He sounds like a cross between matthew mcconnaughhay and john wayne. Let me ask you about pablo, how physically fit does he look . Reporter you have to look at him at the pictures, he looks as if it as he has ever looked as fit as ever. You cant always eat whatever you want to eat, especially when your career is being a professional athlete. I think pablo is taking it very seriously this year, he knows this is it. He likes it here, he is embracing the role that maybe one day he will be a third baseman. I even saw him breaking in a catchers mitt. I think he will like the role of being a highly utility guy. All right. Thank you. [ music ] lets go over to the weather center. No chance of rain just yet, in fact the opposite direction. Lots of sunshine, the temperatures warming backup beautifully for thursday afternoon. We are looking out towards the golden gate bridge, a little bit of haze, but lots of sunshine.

The survival rate is excellent, well over 90 . With excellent quality of life in most cases. It is interesting to see how things have changed. His appearance in the olympics, it coincides with congenital Heart Disease awareness week. What kind of impact do you think that has on kids in the hospital. I think it is astounding, congenital Heart Disease is relatively common. There are many treatments, and with the right treatment, many troop patients can go on to live in ordinary or in his case extraordinary lives. If they fall under the care of a cardiologist, they can go on to compete in highly competitive athletics. Have you heard anything from children in the hospital who aspire to be like him . A lot of people are talking about him, both patients and doctors, there is a lot of talk. We are really delighted that we can see a congenital Heart Disease survival survivor, performing at this level. It is very gratifying. Can you tell us where treatment for this Heart Disease will go in the future . We are always trying to minimize the amount of surgery required. Moving more away from surgery, into what we call noninvasive procedures. Even though it is not available now, we do hope to be able to repair part of this deep act defect using small instruments through the neck. So you could recover from surgery very quickly.
