Underway for many hours now. We are expecting new information as authorities plan to hold a News Conference shortly. We will bring that you to live when it happens. Plus, we have new information on the terror attack here at the gay nightclub, the pulse nightclub which is just behind me now on the street. Authorities are focused on the killers wife. Officials tell cnn she admits to knowing he wanted to carry out a jihadist attack. She admits to accompanying him to two potential targets including the club which was the park where he massacred 49 people. She claims, authorities tell us, that she did not know of a specific plan of attack. So does this make her an accomplice . All that, plus new information about the killers connections and use of online gay chat rooms. Want to begin with new information. Joining me, cnn chief National Security correspondent jim sciutto and cnn legal analyst mark omeara who, by the way, is from orlando. Jim, we have new information on the wife. Plus, we have new information on a phone call that the killer made during the attack. In the middle of the attack, 45 minutes in, after hed committed many murders and before he committed more, he had the wherewithal and took the time make a phone call to a local television station. We have this confirmed by local Law Enforcement. In the phone call, according to the local television station, he calls and says, do you know about the shooting . The producer on the other end says, we do. He says, as well, i am the killer. I am the shooter. He know that he had pledged allegiance to isis in a call to 911. He had done the same at this news station. In addition to wanting that credit, attaching it to the islamic state, he wanted to make sure the news media would come and cover the story. Reporter where are we on the wife . What does she ad night having done, and what does she say she did not do . She admits that he had talked about carrying out a jihadist attack. She said that when he did, she tried to dissuade him. She admits that she accompanied him when he went to visit potential sites or what the fbis concern might have been, scouting potential sites. One of them was, she drove him at one time to the pulse nightclub. Not just that, there, they went to disney world, the huge theme park, in april. In the days before the attack, they went to Disney Springs downtown. She said she didnt know that those were scouting missions, in effect. But you have a lot of information there that doesnt quite add up. The answers dont quite add up. Stand by for a minute. I want to bring justice correspondent pamela brown. I understand you have information on a call that the killer made. Is this the same call that jim is reporting on, to the television station or a different call . Were being told by Law Enforcement sthursz he ma enforcement sources that he made a different call to a friend while this was going on, while he was inside the nightclub during the mass shooting, to say goodbye to this friend. From Law Enforcement weve learned that the fbi has interviewed this friend. At this stage, no indication that the friend took any part of the shooting at all. But of course, Law Enforcement wants to be able to know whether or not this person had any prior knowledge of what the gunmans plans were or if he was completely in the dark. So that is certainly under investigation. He is a crucial person in this investigation. And in addition, we know he called a television producer, as well, during the attack. Of course he made those three 911 calls, as well. Really just bizarre that while all this is going on, john, he made all of these calls to various people. Pamela brown. I know it was a tough connection. Pamela is reporting that in addition to the 911 calls the killer made, in addition to the call to the television station that jim sciutto reported on, pamela brown reporting that the killer also made a call to a friend during this attack. That investigators have been speaking with this friend. As of now, i believe pamela just said they dont think that the friend was in any way connected to the attack. I guarantee theyre going to go down that investigation and follow those leads as long as they need to. Want to bring in our cnn legal analyst. Want to shift gears and focus on the wife. Jims reporting on the wife. She claims to have known or been told by the husband that he wanted to carry out a jihadist attack. Apparently she claims not to have known about the specific attack. Whats the law here . Where is the line . I mean, if she was told he wanted to carry out a jihadist attack and didnt do anything to stop him, is she in legal jeopardy . Theres a spectrum. Theres not one line. Her words that i knew about, this even if she took him to the pulse lounge herself, is not enough. They need probable cause that she intended a criminal act. However, where thats going to come from if it comes, its going to come from the forensic evidence. The evidence will include social media, certainly texts between the two, emails back and forth. Whatever can show her knowledge of not just this ranting of a madman which she can say it was but just that it was more information that she knew or should have been aware. If she knew about the conspiracy to commit murder, the most serious charge, down to misprision of a felony, you know its a felony about to happen and you do nothing. There can be criminal responsibility for that. We know the fbis looking into it, we know theyre trying to get more information about that. But theyre in the middle of it. That word misprision, knowledge of an imminent criminal act. Has to be imminent and specific. Has to be knowing that her husband was going to go shoot up the pulse nightclub. It cant just be knowing that he wanted to kill people . Law enforcement will try to expand that and say if you have this much information, six months of somewhat planning, going this place, that place, along with a bunch of comments to you of wanting to kill people, of hating gays, foreign exchange, of isis being a for example, of isis being a foc focus point. That could be put one brick on top of another to where knowledge can be inferred. She cant be willfully blind to what he was doing. This gets to a legal question here. Are the laws today, do they match the threat, right . You have this on another issue, after the paris attacks, paris, france, enacted Emergency Powers which allowed them, for instance, to round people up, in effect protective arrests before they had evidence to charge them with a crime. That goes back to the fbi investigation that they had in 2014. They did not have the the question here is is there another law, the laws have to be changed because thats a problem. Well talk about that coming up with security experts. Stand by because theres a lot of information coming in. Well come back as we get more. Thank you. This horrific attack sparking an outpouring of love and support not just in the city but all over the country and world. Theres a gofundme account set up for the victims thats raised more than 4 million so far. Equality florida, the states lgbt Civil Rights Organization has set a goal of 5 million to help victims and their families.

The investigation into the attack in a moment. Were also following more breaking news out of orlando. An alligator snatching a toddler on a beach there, dragging him into the water. This morning disney has announced that its closing all of its beaches as the search and rescue efforts continue for this 2yearold boy. Police say the little boy was wading in a lagoon near a hotel when the alligator attacked. We learned of a News Conference a short friem now. Well bring it to you when it comes to us. Well get the latest from the ground. Boris sanchez with the latest on what the search efforts look like. Boris, what are you hearing . Reporter as you said, were supposed to hear from the officials charge at about noon. Theyve not given us any indication that theyre any closer to the whereabouts of the toddler, the 2yearold. It is an absolutely horrifying story. This family on vacation from nebraska coming to whats supposed to be the happiest place on earth. They go to this manmade beach on the shore of this huge manmade galoon. Theyre hanging out with other families. At one point the 2yearold was wading in the water, no further than a foot to the water. The water reaching no higher than his knees. Ought of nowhere, this alligator snatched him. Immediately his father sprung up and tried to wrestle the child from the alligator, obviously unsuccessfully. His mother also got in the water. The father also injured his hands as he was trying to get his kid away from this beast. Their efforts were to no avail. Authorities brought in boats with sonar, alligator trap force try to locate it in the lagoon. This happened at 9 00 p. M. This happened in a dark area. They were hoping with daylight they would have better luck. So far weve not heard any indication that they have. Despite that, officials tell us this is a search and rescue effort. Not a search and recovery effort. They are holding out hope that they will find the toddler alive. Despite that, when we asked them to give us any other example, give us a description of alligator behavior, had they ever heard that a child this young had been missing for this long after an alligator attack and survived, they struggled to come one an answer. As the hours pass, hope continues to dim, kate. Absolutely. Very sad story. Its getting sadder by the moment. Thank you very much. Want to talk more about this with ron magill, communicates director at the Miami Communications director at the miami metro zoo. Thanks for joining me. I want your reaction to whats happened and the circumstances surrounding this horrible incident this. Little boy of the no further than a foot in the water is what boris is hearing. It was 9 00 when the family was there at this beach. Whats your reaction to this . Unfortunately, its not surprising. Its incredibly rare for gators to be attacking people. This is a small child in the shallow end of water at night. That gator could have mistaken it for a raccoon, possum. Its normal feeding time. The males the last couple of months have been moving from pond to pond, canal to canal. Every body of fresh water in florida is basically a place where an alligator can be found. Anybody in the state of florida must assume that theres an alligator in any fresh water area that they see. Having said that, this alligator im sure did gone after this child maliciously. It was acting instincttively. In the evening it doesnt know its a child. Could be a splashing duck or a dog, anything it normally feeds on. Thats the tragedy of the situation. Authorities say theyve pulled four gators out of the water, euthanized them in the search. What does that tell you . It tells me that there are gators everywhere. Ive seen them hit on the road on major expressways near Miami National airport. There are over a million gators in the state of florida now. This is going to become an ongoing issue. What people need to understand is if you respect the animal, if you understand you shouldnt be walking along the lakes edges, edges of lakes and canals especially the next couple of months, alligators are nesting. They want to protect their nests. For the next couple of months especially, any time youre around a water area or shoreline, be aware if its a nest area or you see them, an alligator will come after you, which is something they dont normally do. Ron, disney no disney announced its closing all of the beaches as the search and rescue continue for this little boy. What do you make of the fact that resorts have beach areas but also the signs throughout that say dont in the water . No swimming area . What do you make of it . You know, its kind of a catch 22. You want to have this area that gives you this wonderful view of the Natural Beauty of south florida, of central florida, wherever are you in the state of florida, but at the same time, disney knows that alligator can be found in any body of water. It can be in a small pond on a golf course. They are everywhere here. The bottom sideline ive been at that beach, ive been to the grand floridian. Ive seen the signs that say dont swim. People need to pay attention. Theyre not there for any reason other than the fact that the danger does exist. Its not prominent. Its not common, but it exist. We need to be aware of that. The danger is very real. This is a horrible reminder of that. Ron magill, thank you very much. Appreciate your time as always. Again, were waiting. Any moment well have an update on the search and rescue efforts for that little boy, whats happening near the disney resort. Well bring it when it comes to us. Were also talk being other news this morning. A spotlight on the orlando gunmans wife and what she knew. And the killers visits to gay chat rooms. More in the investigation ahead.

John berman back in orlando, florida, in front of what is very much an active crime scene, the pulse nightclub right behind me. Im joined by Orlando Torres, who was inside that nightclub for three excruciating hours saturday night as this attack of going on. You were hiding inside a bathroom stall that whole time.
