Were learning chilling new details about an Oregon High School shooting that has left one student and the gunman dead. Police now revealing just a little while ago that a teacher was also injured in the incident and that the weapon used was a rifle. Our cnn justice correspondent pamela brown is working all of the details for us. Shes joining us. Pamela, youre learning new information about the student. Tell us what you have learned. Thats right. Were learning from Law Enforcement forces that the student was reportedly wearing all black, including a helmet and bulletproof vest when he opened fire on the school this morning killing one of the students. It appears that he died from a selfinflicted wound. Right now investigators are trying to piece together why the gunman did this. Shots fired in the locker room. At least one person down. The burst of gunfire rang out shortly after 1 00 a. M. With more than 2800 students. One person is down. Tonight police have not released a motive and began firing a semiautomatic weapon. I heard gunshots and then they started yelling, telling us all to get down. Reporter the school went on lockdown. They were told this was not a drill. Outside, police and s. W. A. T. Team members descend on the campus. Back inside, the gunman has killed one student and shot a popular teacher. That man is expected to survive. And were told he is the pt teacher. They are searching the gunmans home for reasons to explain a motive, something that authorities are being looking at, whether the gunman was bullied and whether the victim was targeted or just killed at random. Still a lot of Unanswered Questions here, wolf. What a chilling story. Pamela brown, thanks. Joining us via skype, a student who was in the school at the time of the shooting. Carol is joining us. Tell us what happened, from your perspective, when the shooting happened. Where were you . I was in a catering class that was a few halls from the main entrance of the building which then leads to the gymnasium area which is where this apparently all took place. What are the school authorities, teachers and everyone tell you . Well, it was actually i had heard the first bell ring but the second bell, the start of first period hadnt gone through yet but luckily right as my teacher was walking into class we heard on a loud speaker that we were going into lockdown, it wasnt a drill, we needed to get inside the classrooms with the doors locked as soon as we could. How did the students, kara, react . Everybody was scared at first bt i dont think they really realized the situation at first. We were in lockdown for a good half an hour. In your classroom, is that right . Yeah, at least. It was probably more like 45 minutes. And so then what happened . Who came in to tell you you could leave . There was probably four s. W. A. T. Team members that came into the classroom that told us that we could leave. But before that happened were you among the students who were asked to walk out single file with your hands raised high . Yes, i was. Thats how we had to exit the building. How scary was all of this . Oh, it was very scary. Seeing the s. W. A. T. Team members as soon as we got out of the classroom made it all so real and i couldnt believe this was happening to me. Did you have a cell phone with you . Were you able to call your parents and let them know that you were okay . Yeah. I actually was texting my mom while i was in the classroom under lockdown and we couldnt have anything in our hands. We had to make sure that our palms were open, no weapons in our hands. Are you okay now, kara . Yeah, i am. Still shooken up but ill be okay. Thank you for sharing your experience with our viewers. Lets bring in hlns Law Enforcement analyst mike brooks who has been watching all of this. Give us your thoughts about how this went down. It sounds like theres a lot more details. The shooter was a student. The student that was killed as well. We dont know what relationship they had. No and we still dont know the motive. The response by Law Enforcement was fairly rapid there. Are two School Resource officers assigned to reynolds high school. Its the second largest high school in the state of oregon and the police chief said at the press conference that it was the two resource officers who were the First Responders to this. There was question of whether he took his own life or if Law Enforcement shot him but pamela brown is reporting that he did take his own life but still we dont know any connection. And also, wolf, theres apparently another weapon that was recovered the search. They found the weapon on somebody who was on the School Grounds during this but they say it was not connected whatsoever. We have just been told that during the course of the day that for gun safety, since the sandy hook shooting in december of 2012, there have been 74 School Shooting incidents in the United States. Weve got a graphic were showing our viewers where they have taken place. What does this number tell you, mike . Wolf, it tells me that we live in a very violent society. Some of the shootings in atlanta were student on student and some were retaliation for Something Else that were not dealing with someone who had a bulletresistant vest and helmet. Today sounds like this shooter went into that school looking possibly for one particular student and was basically on a mission. And wolf, keep in mind, tomorrow was supposed to be the last day of school. Today was finals. Tomorrow was the last day. So who was the motivation, what was going on with this shooter in the last 24 to 48 hours that brought that student to go and kill another student in the gymnasium locker room. Of those 74 incidents, were told, since sandy hook, most of those incidents have involved a lone gunman. So what does that say . That says to me, is bullying one of the reasons for this . It seems that a lot of these shootings have been retaliatory for some reason, or someone who thought that they were wronged by another student or by a group of students. So again, it comes down a lot of people talk about guns but it also comes down, as we talked about a couple of weeks ago with isla vista shootings with Mental Health shootings. Hold on. President obama has just commented on this deadly shooting incident in oregon. Listen to what the president just said. People often ask me, how has it been being president and what are my what am i proudest of and what are my biggest disappointments and ive got 2 1 2 years left. My biggest frustration so far is the fact that this society has not been willing to take some basic steps to keep guns out of the hands of people can do just unbelievable damage. Were the obama society were the only developed country on earth where this happens. And it happens not once a week and its a oneday story. Theres no place else like this. Our leveled of gun violence are off the charts. There is no advanced developed court on earth that would put up with this. Now, we have a different tradition. We have a second amendment. We have historically respected gun rights. I respect gun rights. But the idea that, for example, we couldnt even get a background check bill in to make sure that if youre going to buy a weapon you have to actually go through a fairly rigorous process so we know who you are, so you cant just walk up to a store and buy a semiautomatic weapon makes no sense. Clearly frustrated. The president said since sandy hook, 77 gun incidents have occurred and the president says basically one a week. Mike brooks, give me your thought. It comes down to access to guns. This shooter today, did he purchase that gun . Most likely not. It may have been someone else. We look at sandy hook with adam lanza who clearly had Mental Health issues for a number of years and the guns were bought for him by his mother. Theres a lot of Different Things that we need to look at as we move forward, wolf. Mike brooks, thanks very much. Well stay on top of this story. Another shooting incident. This one in oregon. Lets get to more breaking news that were following. Iraqs Prime Minister calls for a state of emergency as a notorious group known for brutality, too brutal for al qaeda, carries out a massive attack and freed 1,000 prisoners. People report mutilated bodies in the streets. Arwa damon spent years covering the conflict in iraq. Shes joining us now from london. Another horrible situation but this time, arwa, iraqs second largest city is in turmoil. Thats right, wolf. And this is beyond a disastrous situation for the Iraqi Government and for the Security Forces that clearly were unable to push back these militant fighters who carried out what is a very coordinated and wellplanned attack. Within hours, huge swaths fell to the Islamic State of iraq and syria, an al qaeda splintered group so fierceless that the taliban has broken away from them. Translator all of them have fallen in addition to weapon caches. Reporter residents fled on foot. People are walking into the barron countryside. Many blame the Central Government for failing to heed warning that isa was planning this. They have taken over the city of falluja which was rescued from insurgents decades ago. The u. S. Once declared that it had al qaeda and iraq on the run and commanders publicly stating that iraqs Security Forces could maintain, quote, the security gains. Many blame Prime Minister nuri al malikis gournment saying that he caused the nations sectarian to grow. After american boots left iraqi soil. A terrorist group considered more merciless and brutal than al qaeda and iraq is gaining power and control. Arwa, the whole situation reporter and wolf this is in mosul. Its a disaster in falluja as well. Youve spent a lot of time in iraq but youve also spent a lot of time in syria as well covering the war there. Is the civil war that were seeing unfold in syria right now about to explode in neighboring iraq as well . Wolf, the two are very intertwined, especially when you have territory in both of those countries and the border is very porous and its been quite the challenge, even when u. S. Troops were in iraq to try to control the flow of weapons and fighters going back and forth. The dynamic of both nations, certainly at this stage, are intertwined and you also have them not only regaining at this stage control over huge portions of mosul but very other provinces as well and one politician was telling me, this is a disaster of epic proportions. At this stage, no one can pretend that the government has any control over this situation. I know youre speaking to u. S. Officials here in washington. They see a disaster unfolding in iraq and lets remember this is a country where the u. S. Spent a decade with tens and thousands of troops, 4500 came home in body bags and the u. S. Spent hundreds and billions and they look at you and say to you this administrations position that the u. S. Did not gain enough by this invasion and that informed their decision to withdraw the troops. It wasnt worth having u. S. Troops there anymore. Many critics and republicans will say that had they ratified an agreement with the Iraqi Government, they would have allowed u. S. Soldiers there, 10,000, perhaps that would help prevent events like this or when hu militants taking over falluja, for instance. He said that the u. S. Maintains that what he describes as one of the most robust military Sales Relationships with the iraqis, supplying them weapons that they would need to respond to this kind of situation and as you see this unfold, that kind of relationship is not giving the iraqis the support it seems they need to thwart it off. Jim sciutto, arwa damon, thanks. Well stay on top of the story. Just ahead, five u. S. Troops killed in an apparent friendly fire incident. Were looking to see what went so horribly wrong.

Whats your policy . Sterling is now saying no to a 2 billion deal to sell his Los Angeles Clipper as yes to a 1 billi 1 billion lawsuit again nba. Lets bring in brian todd for the very latest details that are coming in. What are you learning, brian . The newest declaration, no deal. Just when most of us thought the odyssey was winding down and the sale soon be final, a letter now states that i intend to keep to team. Another stunning reversal. Donald sterling says hes not ready to give up the clippers. He contends, again, hell fight the nbas lifetime ban and 2. 5 million fine and demand a billion dollars from the league, attorney bobby schl samini on nbc. The nba is a band of hypocrites. Reporter silver told cnns Rachel Nichols he never trusted sterling regarding the sale. Theres wellknown incidents in the league when he was right there at a closing and until he signs the document, we still have a pending litigation with them. Reporter this is at least the sixth time that donald has publicly changed course making racist remarks. May 8th, you cant force someone to sell property in america. Flipflop number one, may 11th, he tells Anderson Cooper settling is sometimes better. Reporter flipflop number two, may 28th, sterling vows to flight to the bloody end. May 30th, sterlings attorney tells cnn he doesnt want to fight with shelly. Thats the bottom line. Number four, that same day sterling files a suit against the nba fighting his ban, the fine, and the clippers sale. Flipflop number five, june 3rd, after Shelly Sterling agrees to the sale, Donald Sterling says hes ready to move on. A knowledgeable source now tells cnn Shelly Sterlings attorneys on wednesday will ask a judge to confirm her sale in the clippers sale and will say that donald is mentally incapable. They say she may be doing that to calm the nerves of the teams chosen buyer, Steve Ballmer. If i was the buyer, i would be concerned all along because there was ambiguity from the start. Ive always believed that he had an argument. One of the argument now maybe made in court, hes not mentally incapacitated. That finding paved the way for Shelly Sterling to sell the clippers. Today one of sterlings lawyer says hes not incapacitated. He had a diagnosis of a modest mental incapacitate. Do you think they may consider the 2. 5 million fine or the lifetime ban if he walked away and let the sale go through . Theres implication that they were considering that but a Spokesman Says there was never talk about reducing it fine or the ban in any way. Brian, thanks very much. Lets bring in Donald Sterlings attorney Maxwell Blecher who is joining us from los angeles. Thanks for joining us. Are you going ahead with the 1 billion lawsuit against the nba .
