Lets get to it. And first from the fox news deck this thursday afternoon, the white house says its open to the idea of regulating bump stocks. Those are the devices that the shooter in las vegas apparently used to allow his rifles to fire much like automatic weapons. It comes just after the National Rifle association called on the federal government to review whether bump stocks comply with the law. In a statement leaders of the Gun Rights Group wrote the nra believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations. More ahead on the trump administrations response to the massacre in vegas. Were learning the gunman may have had other targets in mind. Thats the word from the investigators. They say Stephen Paddock rented rooms overlooking two other music festivals. One in las vegas the weekend before this shooting and another in last august in chicago during the lollapalooza music festival. Theres reports that paddock scouted out hotels in fenway park in boston and were learning he might have planned to escape after the vegas attack. Thats according to the sheriff who didnt give any other details. Police say the gunman killed himself in his hotel room as swat units closed in. He killed 58 people and injured hundreds more at the Country Music festival across the street. Investigators say theyre still struggling why he did this. Fbi agents questioned the gunmans girlfriend yesterday. Her lawyer says she had no idea what Stephen Paddock was planning when he sent her to the philippines to be with her family. She said when he sent her 100,000 and told her to buy a house, she thought he was breaking up with her. We have team fox coverage. Lets begin with kevin corke at the white house. Kevin . The white house continues to maintain a laserlike focus on the healing and the after math of the devastation in nevada but that doesnt take away from the fact that theres questions, especially about as what you just laid out, the bump stock that was used in this assault on so many innocent lives in the nevada desert. We heard from Sarah Sanders not long ago. She said this as far as the administrations view of a possible ban. Our focus, as we said the last couple days, has been on healing and uniting the country. The investigation still continues to be in very early stages. We know that both members of both parties in multiple organizations are planning to take a look at bump stocks and related devices. We welcome that. Got to do it. Have to take a very close look at it. Well see how quickly congressional lawmakers can unpack Something Like that, shepard. Shepard kevin, the white house weighing in on the report that secretary of state Rex Tillerson threatened to resign and called the president a moron. The reporting is from carroll lee from nbc news. At a conference yesterday, secretary tillerson never considered quitting but he didnt defly he called the president a moron. He deny it a few hours later through a spokesman. Heres the exchange. Was the president upset that his secretary of state didnt deny calling him a moron in his public remarks yesterday . As the secretary state said, this is a petty ridiculous accusation. Frankly i think its beneath the secretary of state to weighin on every rumor out there. His spokesperson, however, did come out and clarify that the secretary of state has never used those words. Shepard back to kevin corke at the white house. Kevin, carol lee is a wellrespected journalist that says she has more than ten sources on the matter but the pushback is strong. Heres more of what Sarah Sanders had to say about the president s accusation that this is another example of fake news. The president has a great frustration with the fact that a lot of times you have inaccurate information that is being presented as factual. A lot of times opinions are being presented as news and theyre not. That is a real concern and something that should be looked at. Have to be careful on this if youre Sarah Sanders. You never know what can also come out of the conversation especially when you talk about a reporter of the esteem of carol lee. Shepard the white house walking back comments from President Trump. He told fox news he might have to wipe out puerto ricos tens of millions in debt to help recover from hurricane maria. But maybe not. Kevin corke is at the white house. I dont know. Theres confusion on this. Yeah, theres confusion. As is often the case, the president will make a comment, but its sort of off the cuff. Does it equal policy . Here again is Sarah Sanders on trying to make most sense, if she can, out of what the president said previously. Right now, the primary focus is to provide relief to puerto rico and support in the rebuilding efforts. While were still dealing with the immediate disaster, it isnt inappropriate to focus on the difficulties that puerto rico was dealing with before the storm. Theres a process for how to deal with puerto ricos debt. It will have to go through that process to have a lasting recovery and growth. This is a process that was put in place and set up under obama. That has a board of advisers that deals with that debt and it will go through that process. Ive been watching the back and forth on this, shepard, blake burman in particular. Seems the president made a statement that had to be walked back. Maybe his praise for what could happen doesnt line up with where the dollars may end up. Shepard . Kevin corke at the white house. The Washington Post is reporting that President Trump plans to announce next week that he will decertify the International Nuclear deal with iran. The Washington Post says he will walk away from it. But its more complicated. Theres this review that was set up by law by senators corker and cardin. Clearly what they want to do is make sure congress has a hand in this, shepard. So while he may decide to decerti decertify, doesnt mean that the United States is not a part. Shepard lets go to anna palmer from politco. Good to see you. Good to see you. Shepard a lot to get to here. This tillerson thing, you wonder under any circumstances specifically about this, a matter that is not in question by anybody. When tillerson is negotiating Matters Regarding north korea, the president tweets dont bother. Were going to do what has to be done. How can you continue i dont understand it. I think what we saw this week is kind of how this relationship and this dance between Rex Tillerson and the president has been evolving over the past several weeks if not months. You know, i think one of the Big Questions is does the president have confidence shepard he says he does. He has said he does. The question is, result also didnt walk back to the fact that he called the president a moron or not. One of the big issues with this press conference, he was trying to say look, im on the America First agenda. I have americas back. It was not only a message to President Trump but a message to these countries that i have to deal with on a daily basis. Shepard what do we make of the iran talk. If you back out of the deal, its not like you can come up with a new deal. You had to get these countries together on this thing. Without this deal, where are we . I think what were seeing President Trump when he was on the campaign trail railed at the deal of being bad. So theyre trying to thread the needle saying they want to pull out of it. Its a process. So you know, it doesnt throw the whole deal and the world into chaos. Hes trying to have it both ways. Shepard i read he might be trying to knock it down a peg and then lift it back up again. In other words, take credit for fixing something. Right. My colleague wrote about this a couple days ago. Basically saying exactly that. He wants to have this Public Statement that goes very aggressively but able to cobble together something with congress to come back and say, look, were not going to pull out of it. Shepard what is the story for aid with puerto rico . Is this a test of the winds on this matter or is it a trial balloon . I dont understand what is happening there either. Listen, congress and the president said theyre going to have the money they need when they need it. So far congress has had the money for texas and the different hurricanes this year and the Flood Insurance program. So i think the money will be there, but as far as what will happen with the puerto rican debt, clearly the president got ahead on wiping that away. The actual process is, you cant just wipe it away. Shepard the Vice President is at j. B. A. , joint base andrews. Used to be Andrews Air Force base. This is where Vice President s go before they head off places. Hes going down to orlando and tour some of the hurricane damage down there. The funding of these disasters is going to be a real longterm challenge. The president talking about cutting taxes across the board, depending who you believe, adding a trillion dollars to the debt over time. Now you have tens of billions in texas and tens of billions in florida and maybe more than that in puerto rico. Its daunting. Absolutely. I think this is going to be on the scale of katrina is what people are talking about and how they judge that. Its so expensive. You see some of the conservative wing on the Republican House side saying how are we going to pay for this . Are we going to keep writing these checks and not actually balance the budget . As you continue to have funding and the need continues and the weeks and months as it goes forward, youll start having conservative start to ask the question, where is this money coming from, how are we going to get to a tax cut situation, a tax package if were continuing to write these checks. So movement not on gun control, but on regulating outside devices. Some conservatives and republicans have come out in favor of taking a look at bump stocks. Thats something that i personally never heard of before this. And now the nra saying yeah, you ought to look at it. Is there an appetite for real gun control . We know this president was at one point a new york liberal. You winder if he wont migrate in that direction. This is the one area at best that youll find if youre for gun control or gun control of this type that youll find any kind of coalescing of people supporting it. Youre not seeing anything on high capacity magazines. The nra even saying this is something that should be looked at. Certainly ive covered some of these tragedies a long time. This is as much coalescing around one proactive thing that they could do in legislation that will happen. You have to remember 2018 Election Year, a lot of democrats that dont want this to be an Election Year issue. Joe manchin, heidi heidcamp, thats not what they want to talk about it. Shepard okay. Ahead, why investigators say the killer in las vegas may have had help. Thats coming up from the fox news deck on a thursday afternoon. Glad to have you in.

Shepard were hearing from First Responders that rushed into harms way and fired into a crowd of 22,000 people. They spoke about the challenges they face. Trace gallagher once again from las vegas not far from where the shooting happened. Trace . Shep, there was a group of firefighters that was handling a car near mandalay bay before this started. They were on the scene within five seconds. Theyre saying within a few minutes, there was more than 100 firefighters on scene to hear their perspective is frightening and very fascinating. They were working this whole triage setup under fire. Kind of like a battlefield. At one point in time, the radio traffic was so jumbled that the firefighters didnt really know where the shooting was coming from. They thought they were working with multiple shooters. Then they said the feel of victims was almost a mile long. Listen to this. They were laying in between the runways, trying to take cover. The areas are carved out between the runways and the taxiways. Then we had reports of gun shots at the airport. Another example of we had a lot on our hands. A lot we thought was escalating when it was really contained but we didnt know because of so many calls coming in. When he said on the runway of mccarran airport, hes talking about a mile from where we are right now. They pushed down the fences and ran to get away and ended up between the runways and the taxiways. Its phenomenal. The firefighters said they had rehearsed, training for this scenario for many years because theyre a high target destination. Shep . Shepard nothing specific, trace, on what appears to be other possible targets . Well, we have definitely confirmed that Stephen Paddock did book a hotel room in chicago overlooking grant park in august during the lollapalooza concert that malia obama was in attendance there. The Blackstone Hotel released a statement. It says on behalf of the blackstone, we can confirm there was no guest under the name who stayed at our hotel in august during the lollapalooza music festival. We can confirm a reservation was made under the name of Stephen Paddock. However, authorities have not confirmed that this is the same person as the las vegas shooter. Were cooperating with the authorities on that matter. Now the Chicago Police have in fact confirmed this is the very same Stephen Paddock that did book that hotel at the blackstone overlooking lollapalooza. We should also note that he booked a hotel room at the mandalay bay and another concert called life is beautiful by chance the rapper. So we should also point out on the reports of the Aviation Fuel tanks, we just mentioned mccarron airport, the Aviation Fuel tanks were hit be some bullets. The Las Vegas Review journal said he was targeting it. We dont have enough information to confirm that we dont have enough to rule it out. The bullets did hit the tank. Were they bullets that were being randomly fired . Possible. Was it targeted . Also possible. The sheriff last night in this astounding News Conference made mention of a potential accomplice. He believes that Stephen Paddock did have an accomplice. Otherwise, it would be a super human effort to pull off what he did alone. There are multiple reports saying in the days leading up to this attack at the Mandalay Bay Hotel where he was gambling for hours and hours, he was with a woman that was not his girlfriend and now police are interested to find out who exactly that woman was with him in those days leading up to it, shep. Shepard lots of great information, trace. Trace gallagher on scene. Thanks again. A lot we still dont know about the las vegas gunman, Stephen Paddock. Ahead well talk with a former fbi investigator about the questions he says that investigators need to get answered. When food is good and clean and real, its ok to crave. And with panera catering, theres more to go around. Panera. Food as it should be. That just tastes better. So fresh from the farm. Delicious. Perfect. Only one egg with more great nutrition now with 5 times more vitamin d, 10 times more vitamin e, and 25 less saturated fat. Only one egg good enough for my family. Because why have ordinary when you can have the best. Egglands best. The only egg that gives you so much more better taste. Better nutrition. Better eggs. The number 2 official in the anybody says hes surprised that investigators have not learned more yet about what drove Stephen Paddock to commit mass murder. Andrew mccabe said we have a lot of work to do. What is missing . What are the big misses pieces . Theres no easy box to put paddock in. If an attack happens, its an islamic attack or racially motivated attack. Paddock didnt hit any of those trip wires. The investigators have to dig deep and figuring out what his motivation was, what caused him to do what he did. Shepard we know hes a millionaire real estate investor. He gambled a lot. If he blew all of his money gambling they would know that by now, wouldnt they . And they should. Thats what the investigation will go. It will go into his financial background, goes into anybody he contacted. They need to go back to the first wife, the second wife, people he worked with. He seemed to have various different jobs, all good jobs, but differ
