Good evening. Nearly 400 Law Enforcement officers were there at Robb Elementary School as children and their teachers lay dead, dying, and trapped inside a classroom with a gunman.

Theres victims in the room with him a child on the phone, multiple victims they have victims in there. And even after that, the officers still waited in the hallway. Somehow, the School Districts police chief, pete arredondo, here on his phone, was unaware of the 911 calls from the kids in the classroom and nobody raised the alarm that they needed to act more urgently to breach that room, according to the report. Chief arredondo said he intentionally left his Police Radios behind when he entered the school the report found that chief arredondo was one of the first supervisors on the scene but that he failed to take charge as an Incident Commander or to pass the command on to someone else you can hear chief arredondo trying to negotiate with the gunman let me know if theres any kids in there or anything.

It happened last night in the town of greenwood, about 20 minutes south of indy. The citys police chief says the shooting could have been so much worse were it not for, as he put it, a responsible armed citizen. He told reporters today the Good Samaritan saved countless lives. His actions were nothing short of heroic. He engaged the gunman from quite a distance with a handgun. It was very proficient in that, very tactically sound. And as he moved to close in on the suspect, he was also motioning for people to exit behind him authorities identified him as elijah docken. He was shopping at the mall with his girlfriend investigators say he fired ten shots at the gunman, with a 9 millimeter pistol. The police chief tells us had we had a constitutional right to carry in indiana under a new state law that took effect earlier this month it allows most adults to have a handgun in public, but the mall does not allow people to carry weapons on its property. Local Coroners Office confirmed today the gunman shot and killed a married couple, pedro and rosa pineda as well as victor gomez, all from indianapolis. Perry russom now on the investigation into that shooter. Active shooter at the Greenwood Park mall. Police in greenwood, indiana, say the shooter was 20 years old and lived in greenwood right now, we have no motive. Police say he bought his ar15 style rifle in march, quit his warehouse job in may, and had been practicing at a shooting range for the last two years. Family members report he was in the process of being evicted from his apartment where he lived alone. His family members that we spoke to, they were just as surprised as everyone else was cell phone video shows shoppers being led out by police, walking in a single file line, passing an abandoned shoe and a tipped over stroller i seen somebody laying on the ground, and i just grabbed my kids and we ran. Heather arthur was there when the shooting started a ton of shots fired. Police recovering three guns and more than 100 rounds of ammunition one gun was found in the mall bathroom where police say the shooter waited for one hours and two minutes before starting his rampage. The most puzzling piece of this puzzle is the fact that he was in that restroom for an hour and two minutes. Police say in the bathroom, the shooter threw his phone in a toilet and at his apartment, the oven was on high heat with his laptop inside next to a bottle of highly flammable butane were very curious to have those analyzed right now, theyre going to the phone is in possession of the fbi and the laptop is going to be sent to quantico the gunman fitting a profile of mass shooters in the country from just the last two months.

The shooters spree lasted two minutes, ended by elijah dicken, carrying a handgun he has no Police Training and no military background and then back to the shooter, police say he had no criminal history as an adult. As a child, he would get in fights in school and was also considered a runaway as for the time he was spending in the bathroom, Police Believe he was getting ready he had magazines strapped around his waistband and another gun folded up inside a backpack. Thanks. Theres the terrible human toll to gun violence, and then theres the financial one. The joint Economic Committee democrats released a new report today that attempts to add up the cost of shootings to our economy. It shows the medical bills alone for shooting survivors and their families can top 1 billion a year in america. In fact, survivors see their Health Care Spending increase by nearly 2500 a month on average in the year following the injury the congressional report also states those numbers are likely too low and more research is needed cnbcs senior congressional correspondent, ylan mui spoke with one survivor about his physical and financial recovery. The bullet actually just went through here and came out here its been nine years since greg jackson was struck by gunfire. A wrong turn in washington, d. C. Led him into the wrong crowd someone pulled out a gun, and jackson was shot in the calf pretty much every day i still feel pain and a lot of flexibility challenges i also still have to put steroid treatment ointment on it daily to keep the wound from reopening and scabbing again jackson was in the hospital for 21 days. Bedridden for six months, and the bills started piling up. Medical care was a single biggest cost 20,000 in out of pocket payments, and its still not over my doctor said that i may have to do one or two more surgeries. Cosmetically since the skin graft hasnt really caught on. And it hasnt really healed properly how much might that cost . That could be another 5,000 to 10,000 other expenses are harder to quantify a new place without so many stairs, a different job with a lower salary, even his parents had to take time off to care for him. Lawmakers are now trying to add up those costs across the economy. Congress is holding two hearings on the issue this week we underestimate the cost of gun violence we see the children that have died we see people that have committed suicide. We see other things. But we dont rhealize that it touches every one of our lives and the huge cost to our economy and society. Jackson can see the capitol from his street. He now leads an Advocacy Group that supports survivors and he worries congress is so focused on guns its losing sight of the people who get hurt. My wond is one of the luckier ones so you have to think about the 100,000 people that are shot or killed every year and what they go through and what theyre still going through. Theres probably millions of people still dealing with their injuries or their loss every day. Shep, jackson spent three years digging himself out of debt he hopes to be able to pay for his kids to go to college one day, buy a bigger house, retire, and most importantly, help other victims figure out how to do it too.
