Cnns liveSpecial Coverage of the tragedy near miami continues, this hour. Im pamela brown in washington. And im wolf blitzer here, in surfside, florida. Scene of the stunning collapse that turned this 12story condo into a smoking pile of rubble, in a matter of only seconds. Within the past hour, the Miamidade County mayor, Daniella Levine cava gave an update on the victims of this tragedy. Listen to this. Our teams have been working, around the clock, as always, to search for survivors. They have not stopped. And today, our searchandrescue teams found another body in the rubble. And, as well, our search has revealed some human remains. The process of identifying these victims is very difficult. We are going to be relying on dna testing, and that is why weve, already, been gathering dna samples from the Family Members. So, they have all participated, and provided dna to assist us in the identification. This allows us to do rapiddna test testing, onsite, for bodies that we find. And, you know, we identified three bodies in the rubble. And had, already, notified the next of kin. So that is an update, as well, because the threeprevious remains, now, we have contacted the next of kin. But out of respect to the families, we are not going to be sharing those names, at this time. I just wanted to say how very, very moved i am, and all of us are, at the incredible outpouring of support that we have received right here, in surfside. From all across the globe, in the midst of this incredible tragedy. We know people are feeling this. They are feeling connected to us. We feel your support. We feel your love and compassion. And the mayor will be joining me, live, right here later this hour. We have got a bunch of questions for her. Meanwhile, for Family Members, its an emotional mixture of heartbreak and hope. Could survivors, still, be pulled from this wreckage . Were told, a vigil for the missing is about to get underway. Once again, 156 people 156 people are, still, unaccounted for. Each one, beloved by Family Members and friends. Each one, with a unique story. As people gather to anxiously wait to glean any news, at all, that they can. Any news they can get about their loved ones. They are telling us stories. And theyre really wonderful stories, about the people they love. Cnns ryan young is at the familyreunification center right near from where i am. Ryan, the emotions are truly overwhelming, right now. Tell us about that. Yeah. A test of leadership, and a test of faith, wolf, as we sit out here and talk to some of these Family Members who, obviously, are full of so much pain. So much hope. But also, the idea that they just want their loved ones to be found. We can tell you that, in the last hour and a half or so, the Family Members did get a chance to talk to some of the City Officials who were involved in this desperaterescue search. And in fact, people in there were giving us messages about exactly what they were being told by Law Enforcement and City Officials. I can tell you it was very hard for them to hear where they sort of are with this rescue effort. Obviously, they have been dealing with fire, they have been dealing with plumes of smoke. And the idea of moving all this heavy machinery around that area, to try to rescue someone. And, of course, we have been able to see those clips, and talk about the fact that they did find more remains today. Talking to loved ones who are here hoping for any sort of news. Listen to this woman and the desperation in her voice. I m sure theyre doing the best. I i mean, i dont have any doubts. I mean, i understand people i mean, families, its a very hard situation. Theyre in the hotel. They feel hopeless, like, with the time. But i have my faith. I mean, as strong as every as every day. And i have a Feeling Manny is alive. Yeah. She is talking about her exhusband, manuel. She is adrian. They had two children together. She is here waiting for any sort of news and talked about the idea of these dna samples. These are Family Members who are willing to do anything, wolf. And they want to see that heavy machinery continue to go down the street here to see if there is any kind of news that would come this direction. I will tell you, there was a point, today, that there were hope from Family Members that they thought that, maybe, something would change. And then, the rain didnt come through as heavily as some folks thought earlier this morning. So they were happy with the clear conditions. But obviously, the news in terms of the Recovery Effort is not going with the way many Family Members had hoped for. So many hours after this tragedy. And thats why people are now leaning more on faith. There are more pastors, there are more rabbis who are coming out here to provide some sort of solace. As you can understand, even when they ask us questions, we are now at that point where frustrations are starting to boil over. I can i can feel that, myself. All right, ryan, we will get back to you. Thank you very much, ryan young, reporting. Right now, i want to bring in floridas lieutenant governor, Jeanette Nunez. Lieutenant governor, thank you so much for joining us. I know you got a lot going on, as well. As you know, majorstructural problems with that nowcollapsed condo we co condo were flagged back three years ago, back in 2018. Whose responsibility, lieutenant governor, would it have been to address those issues right then and there . Wolf, thank you for the opportunity. And obviously, thats something the town of surfside, along with the county. They have oversight with regards to building inspections. Building certifications. And so, i think the important thing is not really to hone in, at this point. We are focused continues to be search and rescue. There will be ample time to sort through all the reasons, the points of information. Where did they come to . Why was there not action taken . We want those answers taken just as quickly as those Family Members from our perspective. But we want to continue to focus on the search and rescue. I think thats prioritynumber one. While the investigations all the Structural Engineers continue to do their work. You are absolutely right. That certainly is priority number one. But a quick followup, if i can, lieutenant governor. Three years after that warning, repairs were only now just beginning to be scheduled. Seeing the damage, now, that and the loss of life. How should majorrepair issues on a high rise be handled . Should it simply be left to local authorities . Does The State Of Florida have any responsibility . Well, The State Of Florida has statewidebuilding codes on some counties. For example, Miamidade County has strongerbuilding codes. So the state, obviously, has statewideuniform codes. But i think, obviously, we are going to take a look at it. If there is something that needs to be done, from the state perspective, at this point, we dont believe so. But we are there to offer support. Were there to offer any assistance they may need. We want to make sure i know the county and multiple cities have, already, begun the process of reevaluating all of their Building Structures that have more than 40 years of build time. So, i think, obviously, this has created an opportunity to really revisit. And i think those discussions will take place, at the appropriate time. But but we, again, we really want to focus on the families and the search and rescue. Again, i think the engineers and all the folks that need to be part of that discussion as to what happened in this particular building. We dont know that that, necessarily, is the case for any other particular buildings along that street or in any other part of our country. But certainly, we will we will look at all of that, as we move forward. Yeah. I mean, speaking to some of the fami Family Members and the loved ones and they agree. The most important thing, right now, is to find survivors, if possible, at all. And thats what they really want. But they, also, lieutenant governor, they want to know what happened. And they are and the point that they are making and i know you agree. If we dont learn from this, its going to be repeated. There are so many similar buildings, all along the florida coast. Not only the west side, the east side. All over florida right now. And a lot of folks live in these highrise condominium buildings. They are worried and im sure you appreciate that. Oh, absolutely. And i can assure you, wolf, that both Governor Desantis and myself want those answers, as expeditiously as possible. So that, again, we can work with our local partners and see what needs to be done. Florida is blessed with, obviously, a great coastline. And with that, obviously, comes challenges. And so, this governor, under our administration, we have been focused on resiliency. And those are some of the things that we have been talking about actively for the past couple of years. So that discussion, i think, is going to be elevated. And we are going to continue to to work, both, on the scene and throughout. To continue to to provide assistance. But but i agree with you, wolf, it obviously is a concern. Yeah. And whats so encouraging right now, lieutenant governor, is that everyone is getting involved. Working really feverishly to, first of all, find survivors. But then, learn what happened so it doesnt happen, again. And politics, thank god, has not played a role in this. Everyone is working together. The cooperation is very impressive. Lieutenant governor Jeanette Nunez of florida. Thank you so much for joining us. Thanks for all you are doing. Thank you. All right. I want to go back to pamela brown. Pamela, this is heart heartbreaking story, that we are all covering. It, certainly, is. And as night falls there in surfside, florida, you just think about all of those families who are waiting word about their loved ones. You think about those first responders, the searchandrescue teams and all of their tireless efforts there. Wolf, thank you for bringing us it lat the latest on the ground.

According to officers, the shooting broke out after a truck slammed into a home. Michael from cnn Affiliate Whdh joins me now. So, michael, what have investigators uncovered, so far . Hey there, pamela. Still, very active scene here in winthrop. You mentioned it just outside of boston. I will step out of the way and we can zoom in. You can see that stolenbox truck there, still, inside of the building that it demolished several hours ago. At this point, we are told, by investigators, this all got started around 2 40, this afternoon. That stolen box Truck Driving through this neighborhood. It then crashed into another vehicle. Before then crashing into this building. The driver, who stole the truck, then hopped out of the vehicle, according to police, and then started opening fire on those living here. Were told, a man and a woman who were in the area were shot and killed by that gunman. Police arriving, a short time after that. They opened fire, hitting the suspect, several times. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died. At this point, investigators, still, on the scene. And state Police Telling us they could be here for hours into the night. Maybe, even into the early hours. Its a very expansive scene that covers several blocks here, in this winthrop neighborhood. A lot to piece together here, in terms of the initial vehicle being stolen. Then, how it ended up in this neighborhood, and into this building that it has left, pretty much, on the ground, at this point. We are working, as always, to get more information from investigators. But as as of now, thats what we know here in winthrop. What a crazy story this is there. What more do we know about the victims . Reporter yeah. So, we know that one of the victims was a woman, we are told by neighbors, actually. When they first heard this crash, they have a lot of accidents here. So according to neighbors and video we have seen, everyone was just rushing to help. They were rushing to help the people in the silver car that was hit by this truck. They were also running to that box truck, where this gunman was. And thats when he, apparently, according to witnesses, just started opening fire. He hit the one woman, first. Then, made his way further down the street. And we are told thats when another neighbor, a gentleman, were told, may have tried to engage him. Heard the gunshots was trying to stop what was going on. He was then shot by the gunman, and later died. And it was, again, a short time after that, when police arrived. And were able to engage that suspect, open fire, and, again, take him down. And he was taken to the hospital, where he later died, as well. Okay. Michael yosida, thank you for bringing us the latest on the ground there. And meantime, five people are dead in new mexico today after the hot air balloon they were in touched power lines and crashed in a residential area. The accident shut down power to thousands of homes in albuquerque. Federalaviation officials are investigating what caused the balloon to go down where it did.

As the daylight fades here in surfside, florida, the search for the victims of the Condominium Collapse continues into the night. There are live pictures. Got some live pictures coming in from a vigil thats underway right now. Searchandrescue teams have been urgently scouring the site for threelong days now. 55 of the building, 136 units, fell in the earlymorning hours thursday within a matter of only a few seconds. The death toll has grown, now, to five. Five confirmed dead. 156 people, though, remain unaccounted for right now. Residents in the other, similar tower are are now being asked to voluntarily evacuate the building, later tonight, as well. Were told it could be days, weeks, even months, potentially, before this Community Gets an explanation for what caused thursdays tragedy. But today, we also learned that a structuralengineering firm found what are described as significant cracks in the concrete, and structural damage to the building, all the way back in 2018. Three years ago. The miami architect, coby carp, is joining us now. Coby, thank you very much for joining us. What do you make of this report three years ago there was structural damage that potentially could have caused this . I think this report is a standard report that we do for the buildings here. This is a very unique situation. And this building is relatively young. It was built in the 80s. So whats interesting here is that i was 18 years old. I was in high school, when this building was being designed and built. What we have here is we have an opportunity to really take these reports in to the next level. We have the technology. We can do infrared. We can do all kinds of Sonar Testing behind the concrete. And see what the real, true condition of the beams and the slabs are behind the cracks. And behind the separations. You and i know this area very well, from miami beach, to you know, to hear, all the way up to hollywood, florida, and beyond. There are hundreds of similar buildings all along the ocean. Should all of them be tested along those lines . I truly believe we should test them all. It would make sense. It would give everybody a Peace Of Mind to relax. And really, understand the true condition. Because this is, like, a cancer. You start to scrape at it. You start to open it up. And you find more. Every time we open up one of these buildings, we find that its greater than what the original report is. Therefore, by definition, it would help if we were to take a step back and do infrared or sonar. And check behind, what is really the status, the condition, of the steel . And the actual condition of the concrete, itself . We can drill it, and see what the selenity is. And give everybody a better understanding, in todays world, what is the condition of these buildings . So tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people who live in these buildings right right now, in 30yearold, 40yearold buildings along the ocean. How worried should they be . Because i am getting calls. A lot of them are pretty worried. Look. I think that there is no need for drama. There is no need for excessive push. The other buildings that are similar to this building have been maintained. The maintenance of the other buildings from what i have seen, it needs to be confirmed, it needs to be checked, is better. But ultimately, its the Forensic Engineering that will tell us what is the actual condition . And what actually, truly did happen here in this process is this. Its a heartbreaking situation. It is. You live here. And i am, as well. Kobi, thank you very much for joining us. Thank you for your time, wolf. Thank you very much. As the search continues here in surfside, florida, Family Members and friends find themselves swinging between grief and hope. You hold out for hope . I am trying to be strong because my my aunt was a very strong woman. We go through waves of disbelief and hope. You know, you hear and you see tragic things. But you dont expect it to happen to your own. And especially, Something Like this. We were asleep. And we hear this loud, thunderous sound. Dont know what it is. My initial gut was a loud clap of thunder. The power went out. I thought the building got struck by lightning because i see a Gray Cloud Outside of the outside of the apartment building. I think its smoke because i still think its lightning. When i open to go yell to the fire department, i realize its not smoke. Theres no smell to it. And its sticking to my fingers so its the concrete dust. And now, i know that a building fell down. Still, dont think its ours. After you see the video of the collapse, if youre youre in one of those towers, especially in the one where my mom and my grandmother were. Where it fell down, and then the other building fell on top of it. Its extremely hard to hold out to hope. I fell apart, pretty much, you know, because when i saw this, i knew they were gone. Its hard for me to take a look right now. We are still hopeful and we are praying for a miracle. We are hoping theyre in some type of a pocket, somewhere within the rubble, seeking just waiting for someone to come find them. Lets discuss all thats going on right now. Joining us, the mayor of Miamidade County, Daniella Levine cava. Mayor levine cava, thank so much for joining us. I know you got a lot going on. You just came from a meeting with your staff. For our viewers here in the u. S. , and they are obviously watching and, indeed, around the world. Whats the latest information you can tell us . First of all, about the most important issue, the searchandrescue operation . We are continuing. We are searching. And we are hoping to find more people alive in the rubble. We, still, have hope. We are using the dogs, the cameras, the sonar, all of that. And our experts tell us theres still a chance. Theres still hope for finding at least some survivors because you told us, just a little while ago. Still, 156 people. 156 people unaccounted for. Right. So all the folks that are asking, what does that exactly mean, unaccounted for . Were these people who were definitely in that building when it collapsed . So, not necessarily, wolf. So, this is people reporting, calling in. Oh, we know someone who lived in that building. Doesnt necessarily mean that they were at the building, at the time of the collapse. So, we have been trying to reach out to locate all of those people. And once we find them, hopefully alive, safe, we we turn them into the other list. You, also, said, at the News Conference a little while ago, and i was taking notes. That you found, in your words and i am quoting now, some human remains. Yes. You know, its so painful to even think about that. But when you say some human remains, tell us about that. The impact was huge. And sometimes, there are parts of bodies, not the entire body, and that is some human remains. Have they been identified via dna, yet . No, we do not yet know who those people are. Those remains would be sent to the medical Examiners Office and attempt to match dna. And then, after that, they would notify next of kin. Are you getting all the help you need from local, state, federal authorities . I know theyre you are getting help internationally, as well. Exactly. We are getting the help that we need. Its been extraordinary. First of all, we have the best team in the world for search and rescue. These folks have trained, and are task force one. Thats what they are called. Through fema. And they have been all over the world. The haiti earthquake. 9 11. So they know what theyre doing. And then, as well, weve had embedded from from mexico and israel, as well as from around the united states. Whats the hardest, from your perspective . You are the mayor here in Miamidade County. Yes. Got a huge responsibility. Whats the hardest the hardest thing you have to deal with . The families. Have you been talking to the families . Yes, yes, of course. Tell us about those conversations. Its just unimaginable. Because, of course, when its your loved one, and you just have no clues where they are. And you dont understand why it is that they havent been located. I they have offered to go to the pile, and dig. And i said, if i could dig, i would dig because, clearly, we all want to find these people alive. And that is how the firerescue team is treating it. They live to find people alive in the rubble. So, its really just devastating to have to say we dont have news. They need to wait. They need to be patient. And thats how its going. Because some of these Family Members, and my heart goes out to them, they have said they want to go over. Are you going to let them do that . We are working on a plan to allow Family Members to have an opportunity to be by the site and pay vigil to to their family. They they they feel this would be very, very, you know, emotionally satisfying for them to see it. Some wouldnt want to go but some would but you are open to letting them go . Absolutely, we are working on arrangements and will be able to report that soon. Mayor, thank you so much for what you are doing. I know its painful for you. It is painful for all of us but its mostly painful for the loved ones, Family Members, if they are worried about their moms, dads, grandparents, brothers, sisters, we can only imagine what they are going through. Thank you, wolf. We are here for them, and the whole world is here for them. And that brings us great comfort. Daniella levine cava, thanks for joining us. Lets continue this conversation. And lets pray that there will be a miracle. And they will find some everyone should pray. We need prayers. Thank you. I totally agree. Thank you very much. Pamela, what can i say . I keep saying its a heartbreaking story we are covering but we will continue to stay on top of this story because it is so, so important that the families find out what whats happened to their loved ones. And its, also, so important that we learned exactly what happened so that it doesnt happen, again. People sleeping, at 1 30 in the morning. And within11 seconds, the building collapses. And to think what the mayor said about those Family Members wanting to go to the pile and dig, themselves. It just gives you a window into that feeling of desperation as time ticks on. And their loved ones have not been found. All right, thank you so much, wolf, we appreciate it. Up next, a Good Samaritan who confronted a copkilling gunman was then mistakenly killed by police. More on what went wrong, when we come back. Introducing aleve x. Its fast, powerful longlasting relief with a revolutionary, rollerball design. Because with the right pain reliever. Life opens up.

And then, the death of a Good Samaritan caught up in the violence. Officer beasley was responding to a call in the area and within seconds, he was brutally ambushed and murdered by someone who expressed hatred for Police Officers. The threat to our officers and our community was stopped by a hero named johnny hurley. What happened next is equally tragic. A responding arvada officer encountered mr. Hurley, who was holding a rifle, and our officer shot him. Police say suspected gunman was caught on Camera Shooting and killing officer Gordon Beasley in the town of arvada on monday. John hurley. He was nearby, at the time. Confronted and killed him but when officers arrived at the scene, they accidentally killed hurley, believing him to be the gunman. Arizonas socalled Election Audit is over. At least, that was according to the audits propaganda feed on twitter. For two months, a Company Called cyber ninjas has been poring over ballots in Maricopa County. Using over bizarre tools in an attempt to find evidence of voter fraud. Joining me, now, is the topelection official in arizona and outspoken credit of this audit. S secretary of state, katie hobbs. She is, also, running for governor. Good to see you. So do you have any timeline when we can expect a report to be released . Do you expect it will allege Election Fraud . It sounds like they are planning to release a report, sometime in the next couple months. And we do, certainly, expect it to to not be a valid report. Everything weve seen in the process shows us that they are not following any type of postElection Audit best practices. They have been inconsistent with applying procedures. Thats led to errors. Theres been lax security. So all kinds of problems, which just have created an atmosphere where we just arent arent confident in the results that they will come up with at all. I want to play a clip with One America News where a reporter makes the very same, baseless accusations that are behind the arizona audit. Listen to what he says should happen to the people who he falsely believes stole the election. What happens to all these people who are responsible for overthrowing the election . What are the consequences for traitors who meddled with our sacreddemocratic process and tried to steal power, by taking away the voices of the American People . What happens to them . Well, in the past, america had a very good solution for dealing with such traitors. Execution. Now, he has denied, since, saying that. That he wanted people to actually be killed or executed over this. But how concerned are you about the threat of violence in arizona, as this audit comes to an end . You know, im very concerned. But first of all, i will say, and i know you know this and your audience knows this. But all the claims he he was making were false. The election was not stolen. The results that we certified in arizona and across the country are valid results. And so but i i am concerned. I mean, the attacks and harassment and reminders, every day, leveled towards my office have not slowed down. And so, you know, when this report comes out, i think, people are going to feel emboldened to take action based on rhetoric, like this that were that were continuing to see. So, tell us a little bit more about some of those threats. What are people saying to you . And are you boosting security . Are your Staff Members boosting security ahead of the report release . Well, to be honest with you, the the amount of of just garbage thrown at our office has been hard to keep up with. And we have staff that, this isnt their regular job, but they are trying to sort through it to find threats that we might need to report. But i do have security. We are in constant communication with the with the department of public safety. To around monitoring these threats. And but but we, certainly, are concerned about things ramping up. And and have you had to go to police over some of these threats . Tell us about that. I mean, weve certainly reported threats that have come in. And because of those threats, i have a protective detail. Do you know what will happen, now, to the ballots and Voting Machines that were handed over to the cyber ninjas . Well, my understanding is that they will be returned to Maricopa County. We certainly have concerns about the chain of custody. Particularly, on the equipment. We have already notified Maricopa County that, based on guidance from the federal government, that the chain of custody has been irreparably harmed. And that, that equipment shouldnt be used again, in a future election. Katie hobbs, thank you so much. And sorry to hear that you and your Staff Members are, still, receiving threats. Its just its just a horrible thing that is playing out there. Thank you so much for coming on the show. Thank you. Also, tonight. Formerpresident donald trump kicking off his revenge tour against republicans who voted to impeach him. First, on the list . Gop congressman anthony gonzales. Trump rallied in ohio this evening, in support of his primary challenger, max miller, a formertrump aide. As trump returned to the campaign trail, his Business Braces for criminal charges.
