This case and we know that one of the women who was gunned down out here in cold blood at 22yearold sister, 21 minutes away of bell brook, ohio, residents being searched in ohio with fbi assisting local police, the exact relevance of that location yet to be revealed by the authorities when they do another briefing at the top of the next hour, residents of at least one of the people from that family, possible residents of the gunman. Meantime what we have is a window into the panic moments, minutes after the gunfire started ringing out here in the oregon district and we get that through police radio dispatches. Shots fired. Shots fired. Shots fired, we have multiple people down. We will need multiple medics. I have everybody coming to you. We think theres one shooter, he is down. We are looking for a second shooter. Once we clear this, you need to get medics in here. Theyre coming. People who are out people who were out enjoying the night life 1 00 a. M. On saturday night said they heard gunshots, heard people shouting active shooter and soon saw people lying on the i will never get that out of my head of just the gunshots and trampling, just the fear. Police have confirmed that the gunman was carrying a rifle and ar15, he was wearing body armor and he carried with him a surplus of magazines filled with, filled with ammunition, he was only active for a minute, less than a minute according to police in this case but still he was able to kill 9, injury 27. Rob, back to you. Rob yeah, we dont know how Many Lives Police saved by being so fast on that scene, mike, what is happening at the scene of the shooting today, obviously this is right in the heart of dayton, ohio . It is right in the heart of dayton, ohio and if you look behind me the crime scene tape is still up, the investigation of the crime scene is complete, but unfortunately what you have and very grisly what you have a situation like this a terrible mess thats left behind. Whats taking place is cleanup and grisly cleanup scene and thats why the district is still blocked off to the public. Rob understandable, mike, thanks so much. Now to el paso, texas as the city continues to reel over the shooting deaths of 20 people of hands of 21yearold man yesterday at a shopping center, police charging the shooter with capital murder, prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty. Garrett tenney live in el paso, texas with more on this, garrett. Well, molly, we are just a a little bit over 26 hours after the shooting began, you mentioned 20 People Killed, 19 of them have their bodies in the walmart there and not until earlier today did those bodies began to be removed from there, we still had families here that are trying to find out if their loved ones who they have not heard since the shooting began are among those individuals who are no longer with us, the mayor told us this afternoon that they are hoping to complete the process by this evening to identify the victims, to let the families know who they are, but just last night we saw some of the raw emotion as families came out in desperation searching for answers. I want you to listen to this one woman who came out with her two sisters trying to find about their 87yearold mother. I got tired of waiting and waiting and i just want to know where my mom is. I want to find my mom. Somebody needs to tell me where she is,i want to know if shes dead or alive or if shes still in walmart. Imagine 3,000 people, as many as 3,000 were inside the walmart when this shooting played out yesterday, so many folks were separated, most of them have been reunited since that shooting began, many still searching for answers, though, in terms of the investigation, you mentioned this morning that the fbi and the department of justice is seriously considering pursuing federal hate crime charges and they are treating this as a domestic terrorism case, molly. All right, Garrett Tenney on the ground, take you down to dayton, ohio, we can see the mayor of dayton, ohio about to go up to microphone, this is nan wheelie. [inaudible conversations] are you guys ready . Hello, this is mayor of dayton, ohio, i think this is our fourth press conference of the day and ive seen every single one of them and i appreciate your Due Diligence and getting the correct information out to news outlets. City manager shelley, u. S. Senator brown and u. S. Senator portman, deputy chief matt harper, state representative palmer and former county sheriff and congressman mike turner. So i just want to take a moment to talk about the outpour and support we have seen across the country. Today, i think ive had over 70 mayors from across the country reach out particularly have been of help, buddy dire of orlando, worked with his community through nightclub and mayor of pittsburgh, obviously with the tree of life synagogue. Cincinnati has been helpful and mayor james, new may or mayor of tampa and unfortunately because we had so many incidents weve had mayors who were able to give great advice and feedback, i think thats quite frankly a little sad if you think about it that they have learned so much because all of their communities have gone through terrible Mass Shootings. Today at 2 00 oclock i was very appreciative that senators brown and senators portman and congressman turner as well as u. S. Attorney ben grassman, atf came together with briefing with chief harper, walked the scene of the site, the district, the senators and congressman to get a sense of exactly what happened on the ground and i want to say how much i appreciate their support and their calls and what can i do questions during this day. Its meant a lot to citizens of dayton. I would like to invite senator brown to come and say a few words. Thank you, mayor, this is obviously a terribly difficult time for this community and i so appreciate especially police and fire and the rescue operations, how quickly the police department, Police Officers on the scene so courageously stood up and and did the right thing and saved literally potentially hundreds of lives with the amount of ammunition the shooter had and how quickly they responded and what a short period of time from the first shot to the last shot, so it really does tell me a lot about local public servants, police and fire rescue operations, we had the mayor tells us 20 i believe 20 First Responders from the region came in addition to 6 or 7 from the city of dayton that arrived all within 20 minutes to save lives, so thats what local communities do which come together like this. The mayor took us all to walkthrough the district, its its in many ways the center of dayton in terms of of evenings and small businesses, every single business in that area just about is locally owned and local ownership and what that means and they are coming together for vigil for the next many days, the way dayton came together after the tornado and after kkk rally a few weeks ago. My first talk with the mayor today, the first thing she told me other than expressing the grief and heartache of this community was how how she had gotten literally dozens of texts emails and phone calls all around the country almost all whom had Something Like this happen in their communities, so our first response, first response, of course, is sadness and prayers and thoughts for families and the Community Overall including police and fire and how they respond to this in the weeks ahead from trauma theyve seen. My next thought was anger at our country and society and congress for not doing anything about this, the house of representatives has passed a bill to do background checks overwhelmingly bipartisanly, ive called senator mcconnell to bring the senate back into session, we can pass that in one afternoon, background checks, the president of the United States can sign it that day, theres no reason we shouldnt be doing that, so we certainly pray for the victims and care about the victims but Congress Needs to do something, our state legislature, again, inadequate in dealing with gun violence also needs to react and respond to the right way so that these incidents just dont happen week after week after week after week in our country. I would like to invite senator portman to come forward to say a few words, came from cleveland and amazed by people coming here to get here as soon as possible. Mourning today after the tragedy of last nights shooting, we did walk down to district and we saw what has been a thriving commercial section of the city andof greate also saw workers, ems personnel who were having to clean the blood off the sidewalk from the tragedy of last night. Shocking, shocking, unspeakable, tragic, we have also seen this community respond as for the victims, fathers, sons and daughters who were shot last night and injured. We have seen in this community with the kkk rally, we have seen how this Community Came together after devastating hurricanes which, you know, still ongoing project but ive talked to the mayor a lot about this and im impressed on how the community has come together and respond. We saw it last night with these Police Officers who in the face of danger ran straight into it. We will learn more about this at 4 00 oclock and ulia all i can say its appropriate that Law Enforcement provide the perspective that you need on this, but courage was extraordinary and saved lives, probably hundreds of lives given the situation. Theres also an effort going on in the community that i hope everybody will support which is through Dayton Community foundation and oregon district tragedy fund, its a fund set up to help the victims. Again, this Community Comes together. I would make contribution to it, im sure everyone else behind me and i know this community will come together and help these victims, those who were injured, the families of those who lost lives. So this is this is a tragedy that requires that kind of response. My colleague senator brown talked about legislation, we should also, of course, as we figure out what happens here, lessons from it, just as we have learned lessons from others and are there more things that can be done, im sure there are, but i will say theres something deeper going on here and if you look at the suicide rates, if you look at the addiction rates, good job in responding to it but its been ground zero in terms of the Opioid Crisis as well. Look at the Mental Health crisis today, drawing up laws and in fact, no law can direct for of the problems we face today in the country and the shooting last night was an indication of that. So i look forward to working together with my colleagues to try to respond in an effective way possible but also figure out how can someone point a gun at someone who he had never seen or known and pull the trigger. Thank you. Senators donations and i know this would be no different as other episodes weve had in the past few months. Next id like to invite congressman turner to come forward and say a few words, i appreciate him calling me this morning and i appreciate him being here this week, congressman turner. I want to thank the mayor for the leadership on this day of sadness and i appropriate the mayor work to go pull everyone together. Also i want to thank the mayor and the police chief on the Police Presence that was in the district last night. Extraordinary that they were able to respond so quickly as a result of the Police Actions my daughters and hundreds others are alive and are safe today. I also want to thank First Responders that the police and fire who came to the scene and responded unbelievably nor the community. This is an amount of evil that we cannot comprehend. I freesht mayor putting us together to learn more about the particular case. Senator brown is correct, senator portman as we look across the country, we need a National Conversation as to how we come together on bipartisan basis to address this. Legislation, culture, i thank the mayor to try to find answers for the community and the work last night that kept so many safe. State representative, i wanted to say a few words. Thanks, mayor, thank you for your leadership, weve had rough times in the city of dyeton, youve met the challenge and thank you for your hard work. We have Great Police Department and great fire department, everybody behind me, i was hoping it was my last crime scene but we are back in action. Working the crime scene, im very proud of our First Responders. Theyve answered the call, ran towards the fire, its tough on those guys and they took care of business, so thank them. We cant get them enough awards because they saved a lot of people last night. Dispatch center, they get overwhelmed with mass situations like this, they did a tremendous job also. We had a rough year, we are a Resilient Community and we need to figure this out. Let me ask you guys this i will not get in policy discussion but we the people make the call, we dont work for special interest groups, we work for the people, lets sit down and get a solution, its Mental Health, its guns, we have to figure this out. So, yes, thanks for covering this and stay strong, dayton, we are in the game, thank you. Thank you. Getting chief harper will come forward to give any information he may have, i think itll be pretty brief and have detailed briefing. Yeah, thank you, mayor, thank you for everyones patience, we do have a comprehensive look at this coming at 4 00 oclock. The only thing i will add that right now we do have a lost and found that will be established at the safety building, thats the city headquarters beginning at 10 00 oclock tomorrow morning. There were a lot of items left in district, spread the were, any items were left they can come and retrieve those beginning tomorrow morning, thank you. All right, questions . [inaudible] went back to tornadoes, the kkk rally, the word resilient, is there something that sums up the people that live here . Youre asking me . Anyone. I will answer and anyone else can answer. The word i use for dayton is that it has grits, thats the word that describes what this community has been through for the past 50 years, the grit of changing economy, the grit when things happen, they come together, resilience in grit but i think that that is what makes us so strong and continues to make us resilient and i think that describes dayton and its people in a way that im very, very proud of. And then, you know, we talked about the reaction, how the First Responders really came to meet everybody there. Talk about Mental Health and then, you know, gun violence, is there any way to proactively prevent Something Like this from happening, we see it time and time again but, you know, its a question for anybody, any way to [inaudible] comments . Yeah, we need to do whats right, you know, Walking Around body armor, we call that clues, why do they have body armor, somebody is not acting right and have highpowered weapons, reach out to them. We know when somebody is having problems, we have to get the community to support people, lets start doing what is right. You know, i watched some of the News Conferences from the shooters neighborhood, they said the guy had problems but we failed to step to do whats right. The somebody help him out and give him a hand up. Cils, if somt right, reach out to us. Former sheriff said that civilians wearing body armor, wearing those vests, i feel the same civilians buying assault weapons. Mid90s to mid next decade ban on assault weapons and didnt get every assault weapon off the street but did make a difference and there are probably hundreds of if not thousands of people alive today, that might not have passed or might not have had the law prohibiting purchase of assault weapons and those weapons they are not weapons for hunting, we dont question people having a gun to hunt, we dont question people having gun to protect themselves, but civilians carrying assault weapons, it speaks of recurre of police department, other weapons nothing like guy with assault weapon, why do we put the police in that situation too where civilians carry these weapons of war and its its unfair match by any stretch. [inaudible] 2019 [inaudible] a day in mind or a week in mind or having a plan to address these issues . Like i said earlier, i think it requires comprehensive approach because you are talking about each is different and we dont know the facts here yet but what we do know which ive seen in public reports and i can say this, he shot his sister. We know that in a short period of time you will find out the exact period of time at 4 00 oclock i will tell you and i will tell you in that period of time there was a burst and ive seen public reporting on that as to how many shots were fired, if thats true, the magazine, of course would be illegal, do we need more laws, we probably do, we passed something in 2018 to tighten the background checks and i think theres a consensus that we need background check to make sure the wrong people dont have the weapons, you will learn at 4 00 oclock whether he would have been caught in background check. My point is not just about laws, its about something deeper and Mental Health was mentioned earlier, we have a crisis in this country, theres no question about it. There are people who have talked about the deaths of despair and the suicide rates, they talk about the addiction rates and they talk about the Mental Health issues that are causing some of this, so this is a broader discussion that needs to be had and i you know, i hope that when we get back we will have that discussion and we will have at state level, at every level but we also have to have it in our communities and home and hearts and former sheriff, representative, talked about that, almost every one of the cases as you look back on it some indication of Mental Health problem, in some cases actually investigations of individuals that unfortunately did not resolve and that person being treated the way he or she should have been, we dont kn
