While this community is rallying around their families, their friends, and the four people who are still in hospitals with serious injuries, we know there is this parallel track of the investigation thats happening behind me. And at several locations across this community. Cnns brian todd is getting the latest on that. We did, brian, get a few new elements of the investigation from this latest news conference. Reporter we did, victor. What we can tell you is this, from this news conference, chief jim cervera said they recovered additional weapons at the scene and at the suspects home, dewayne craddocks home. They did say theyre going over those weapons and trying to determine the nature of how they might have been used. And again, talking about the officers response, talking about how quickly the officers got to the scene and got into the building. Chief cervera said these officers acted very professionally, that they checked every room, every closet, under every desk and that they escorted several victims out of the building. And again, he praised their rapid response. One key piece of information about how all this unfolded, you can often tell what a motive might have been if there were any verbal exchanges during the exchange of gunfire between police and a suspect. We asked the chief about that. He said that he did not engage verbally with the police, when he saw the police he immediately exchanged gunfire with them. As we know, there was a long drawnout gun battle. We pressed the chief on how many minutes the gun battle lasted, he did not want to give that information. Victor, we have to say there are still key components of this investigation that police are not prepared to tell us. We for example them hapressed t motive, police chief cervera was not prepared to say what the motivate might have been, at least this morning. We pressed them on whether the suspect made threats in the past to the employees, they were not prepared to give that information. I pressed the chief and the city manager hansen whether there were any disciplinary notes in his work record, conflicts with other employees that might have prompted him to go in and do this and again, they were not prepared to give that information or they may not know it yet, victor. Those are some critical components here that we still as yet do not know. Brian, some details they are choosing to keep a secret, close to the vest right now because of the investigation. Other elements theyre still working to get answers to those questions. Brian todd, thank you for your reporting. Joining me now to discuss is Virginia Beach mayor bobby dyer. First, my condolences to you and this community because these are not just constituents. These 11, and 12, well talk about bert snelling, were friends, were coworkers, were fellow public servants. More than 12 hours on, what are you feeling this morning . Ill tell you what, its still a sense of shock, disbelief, why did this happen. I guess the big question is why. We want to know too. Yes, police are looking into it, and, you know, be ensurassured once the information becomes evident we just dont want to speculate right now and give out false information. We want to make hour thsure tha through your help, the communities are aware of whats going on. This rocked the foundation of Virginia Beach. We are the safest city of a city this size in this country, with a magnificent police, fire, ems, and sheriff. This worked our foundation. And this has been personally difficult for you because, again, you know these faces, youre new to the Mayors Office but not new to City Government here. And the contractor there, bert snelling, was a personal friend of yours. Yes, he was. He started off as a carpenter who worked at our house. He became a friend. We socialized. Regrettably, i hadnt seen him in a little while but i found out on social media last night about midnight that he was one of the victims. And i was devastated. Tell me about him, how did your contractor go to becoming a friend . Ill tell you what, he was just such a great guy. He was a consummate professional, did great work. But you know, when somebody is working and you get to know each other, we invited him out for a happy hour to join us and everything, then my wife, we met his wife and everything. And, you know, i tell you what, this really this really hits home with me. But also the but just seeing the other victims, you know, up on the screen and everything, it really humanizes the extent of the tragedy that happened in our great city. These arent just individuals. These are mothers, fathers, cousins. Friends. Neighbors, colleagues. Yes. Especially in a community as tightly knit as this. Let me ask you, a lot of what we heard from the police chief and from the city manager just a little more than an hour ago was about how this community is going to rally around and support these families. How is Virginia Beach going to do that . The strength of Virginia Beach are the people of Virginia Beach. And were resilient. Were going to be responsive and were going to come together as a community. You know, right now everybody always had that feeling, that we were a safe community, because of our Public Safety people. Were going to restore that confidence. And im sure that, you know, the community is just going to come together and rally around, you know, not only the families, but just as a community, that, you know, we are this unfortunate event does not define Virginia Beach. What defines Virginia Beach is the strength and resolve of the people. A lot of city business happened in that building. Yes. Which is now a crime scene. Cars still in the parking lot. Investigators on scene. How will you continue the business of the city monday morning . Ill tell what you, obviously were not going to have access to that building. But i am confident our city manager will find contingency plans. You know, once again, the peoples house was violated. You know, thats where people came, people worked, thats where people came to do commerce and business. You know, and once again, we have to restore some equilibrium in the city and were going to do that. The way you do that, will you consider changing the access i mean, the free and open nature of a public city building. When the time is appropriate and the information is in, well discuss what were going to do going forward. Right now were not even 24 hours into this, and right now were dealing with the shock and the sorrow of whats going on in our city. But this is going to be a long term process. This is not going to be a week, its not going to be a month, years. This will be a lifelong process for the city of Virginia Beach as we live and learn through this project. This is a nightmare that nobody ever wants to live. But it did happen, and were going to have to step to the plate and react responsibly. The city is joining this fraternity of so many that have lost residents in the senseless gun violence. Mayor bobby dyer, thank you so much for being with me, i know you have to navigate the official work of the city but you also lost friends yesterday. Yes, and ill tell you what, Virginia Beach is going to come together on this. Thank you so much. With us is Law Enforcement analyst charles ramsey, well talk with him in just a moment.

Too hard to do alone things. Day after day, you need to get it all done. And here to listen and help you through it all is bank of america. With the expertise and knowhow you need to reach that blissful state of doneness. So lets get after it. Everything is all right what would you like the power to do . ® all right we heard shooting. We heard shooting. But we didnt think it was that close, like in proximity of the building. So i just thank god that they were able to alert us in time. Because if it had been ten minutes more, we all would have been outside. So thats what im grateful for today. I heard on the stairs, we go to the corridor, there was a lady on the stair unconscious, blood on her face, blood on the stairway. We didnt know what happened. One of the other workers went upstairs to see what was going on, she came back down and said, get out of the building. Is it true that hes dead . Yeah. Jesus christ. So are 12 victims. The latest one they Just Announced at a news conference. And he lived right above you. It could have easily been me. Im Victor Blackwell here in Virginia Beach. Those were some of the witnesses to that horrific shooting yesterday. Im joined now by cnn Law Enforcement analyst charles ramsey, also a former police chief and commissioner. Good morning. Good morning. Lets start with where we ended with the mayor, restoring some sense of security in this community and how to do that. Is there a way to better secure public buildings, should that be part of this conversation, or is this just something, this possibility something we live with in this free society . Well, i mean, it certainly should be part of the conversation. But the reality is, its a public building. People come, go in and out to pay water bills, phone bills, i would imagine, things of that nature. The one individual, the victim who was filing a permit. So theres only so much you can do with public buildings like that. But certainly it should be discussed as to whether or not security could be tightened. So of course youve been a commissioner and chief of big cities, philadelphia, washington, d. C. As well. What is the value now to an investigation, the motive here of a shooter that is already dead . Whats the value of finding out why he did this . I mean, theres always value in finding out why somebody did it because it might, you know, present some red flags that maybe we should Pay Attention to for any future incidents. But you need to know and answer the question why. I mean, you dont just wake up one day, i would imagine, and decide youre going to go in and kill as many people as possible. There was something going on. He was subscribed as a disgruntled employee. Disgruntled over what . It was reported yesterday that he was actually named as a point of contact in some of the literature that the city had put out in previous years. So that means that he must have been a pretty good employee. You certainly wouldnt put the worst guy down as a point of contact. So what happened . Ing it wou i think it would be very important for us to know that. Engineer for 15 years with the city. Theres also the reporting, according to sources, telling cnn that in addition to this rifle and. 45 caliber handgun, there was a suppressor, some call it a silencer, erroneously, because no shotgun is silent. How would the use of a suppressor change the equation in a shooting of this type . You know, it was interesting, one of the people that you interviewed or at least you showed the footage prior to my coming on said that she didnt think she heard the shots but didnt think it was that close. It would distort the sound so people wouldnt realize that the shot was right outside their door, for example. It would make it a bit more difficult for police to go in and actually locate the shooter, because youre locating him basically through the sound of gun shots. So it does change the dynamics. Its not Like Television where it also completely muffles the sound. It does lower it in terms of decibels. What a lot of people dont realize is its legal to purchase suppressors in i think its 42 states, although theres a lengthy process that you have to go through and register with atf and that sort of thing. But there was a movement to try to actually lift that two point where you no longer had to register with the atf. So having suppressors available to the public at large is very, very troubling as far as im concerned. Theres also the reporting that he had higher capacity magazines as well, and the ability to do even more damage and kill more people than he did. Right. We know there was some effort federally to try to ban those high capacity magazines. How easy are they to get . Theyre not hard to get at all. I dont know what model. 45 he had. I carried a glock. 45 when i was on the job. You carry 14 rounds in the magazine itself, one in the chamber, that gives you 15. If you have an extended magazine, you could almost double that. He had several extende
