One eyewitness said the gunman was wearing a hockey mask and bulletproof mask and calmly fire on announced he was the shooter before he began firing into the as crowds achristmas music plays. Theres one person saying theres a man with a rifle near the food court and hes still shooti shooting people. We are here on foot and there are people bailing out like crazy from everywhere. Reporter for shoppers at poor this suburban portland mall it truly was a nightmare before christmas, one captured on this cell phone video. There are five to seven tured this gunshots and there was a little ere pause the initial five to seven shots and another four to seven nother shots. It was scary. Was it was shocking experience. Experience. Today there was about 10,000 people at the mall so there was a huge amount of people running in different direction ss and it f was chaos for a lot of citizens. All reporter when it was all ple were over two people were dead one wo wounded and rushed to the an hospital and the shooter yet to be identified adult male ended his own life with a selfinflicted gunshot.

Cont John Blackstone thank you. Senior correspondent john miller former fbi deputy r has director has been talking with with h his sources. Good morning. What do we know about the suspect and motives . We dont know much about the it suspect and its not clear ar whether he is unidentified is because theyre working that because th lead or because they havent le been able to identify him, but identif we were not able to get a name. Get as for the motive you know t what were relying on is the relying o profile with these types of offenders. Most of them are injustice collectors, people who catalogue every sleight, every offense to for an irrational level and they strike out to draw attention. Mall why this mall . E do we know why he targeted this ifically . Mall specifically . No. No, and authorities dont know that either. Either i talked to people who were on the scene last night, and they say you know this came out and f a half where. They said its pretty miraculous because they said he fired and im quoting now, countless rounds. Ou he had a jam in his weapon he reloaded but given the number of rounds he fired, he hit a fairlye hit small number of people so this le s could have been much worse, but n much wo i think what we get from the mall is that he chose the mall because because it was a crowded place, wded he chose the food court because food court it was an open area. This is what the profilers call hunting behavior. You you pick an area where theres not an open field of fire not many places to run and you go for what maximum lethality and with the amount of ammunition he brought and that ar15 weapon that certainly seems to be what he was looking for. John miller thank you. People have been dancing in the streets of north koreas ca capital after this mornings this successful launch of a a longrange rocket but the white house calls it a highly house provocative act that threatens regional security.

Celebration. Say this man says the launch has hock wave sent a shock wave to the whole world and hes right. Ght. Ballistic missiles and the a rockets utilized to launch satellites possess similar bodies engines and technology so this launch is a step toward d the the regimes goal of developing the ability to deliver a Nuclear Payload at intercontinental ranges. National spokeman called it a highly provocative act that threatens regional security. D a in april North Koreans attempted the roc a similar launch but the rocket broke apart shortly after liftoff. North korea appeared to be app having technical difficulties t with this rocket as well and and they launched it sooner than u. S. Officials expected. The north american air Defense Command confirms that the north ko koreans succeeded in launching an object into outer space but says it will take a day to determine whether it achieves successful earth orbit. Bit. David martin thank you for that information. Now we get back to the reason k to the were here in washington. The white house and republicans are offering new proposals to avoid the fiscal cliff but there is still no deal. Right . Sounds like deja vu. We have 20 days left to avoid the automatic tax hikes and spending cuts. Reporter good morning. Theres never been more activity than weve seen in the last 24 hours but activity does not necessarily mean the countrys averti any closer to averting the fiscal cliff. President obama telephoned House Speaker john boehner tuesday afternoon. Rnoo sources describe the exchange as tense. At issue a new republican budget budg proposal, one that came after mr. Obama sent an offer to mr. Boehner tuesday. Before boehner took to the house floor to criticize the president. The longer the white house ze slow walks this process the closer our economy gets to the fiscal cliff. Reporter mr. Obamas new proposal lowered his request for tax revenue from 1. 6 trillion in ten years to 1. 4 trillion. Trillion on tuesday the white house threw Corporate Tax reform into the mix, adding it to the already agreed upon push next year for reform of individual tax rates. Dismisse boehners described it as unrealistic and said the tax revenue was a red herring. The Top Senate Democrat doubted a fiscal cliff deal would be l cli wrapped in time for christmas. I think its going to be extremely difficult to get it done before christmas. Reporter Speaker Boehner is meeting at this hour with house republicans. Despite all the gloom the president said he remains confident a fiscal cliff deal will get done. Charlie and norah . Major garrett thank you. Nancy pelosi leads the democratseads in the house of representatives. Were pleased to have her with this m us. Good good morning. Good morning. Where are these negotiations . When they were bargaining over the grand bargain you gave the the president and your caucus did cus d room to go in there and negotiate. He has that i assume, again, sosume he can put spending cuts and cuts and entitlement cuts on the table. He presi the president knows our views, sha views, shares our values. We respect his leadership and theres a recognition that he he may need our votes. Es n but theres no red line for you and the democrats in the use. House. You want the president to make a deal and deal and lay out what he can do. Do. That is true. T however, we want what happens toe of the be fair and to work. E and one of the things we object to is raising the medicare age. Red its not a red line for you . G that its something that says dont go there because it doesnt produce money. What others, what do we need . Here . Reneed resources, we need cuts and we need growth. The high tax cuts for the wealthy increase the deficit and do not produce jobs. Raising the minimum wage excuse me raising the retirement age its does not get you that much o money. So youre doing a bad thing whenn it it comes to seniors and youre not achieving your goal so ur go were saying does it work is it fair or is it just a trophy that the republicans want to take home, whether or not it achieves contributes to reducing the deficit and creating jobs. Leader pelosi, i know theres been a lot of talk about increased revenues on the ut republican side but theres also reven a burden on the democrats, whiches is what entitlement cuts are you willing to make . You wrote an oped, you said no way on raising the medicare eligibility age. What are you willing to offer inigibilit terms of entitlement cuts to get this deal done . Well first of all, we first already have made entitlement enti cuts. Republicans criticized them buts criticiz in the Affordable Care act, we have over 700 billion in saving savings for medicare which we e plowed right back into medicare med to extend its life and to to increase benefits now. The president in his initiative in his budget to be specific has over 400 billion additional revenue, but entitlement changes. Over 1 trillion over 1 trillion in reforms in medicare just as a downpayment so weve so we already did that in addition to addition 1. 6 trillion in cuts which weve already voted on. W so were almost 2. 6, 2. 7 trillion 234 cutsin cuts and spending 2 and entitlements. As a downpayment we need to see paym the revenue. As a journalist i look at this and dont see Speaker Boehner and the republicans making concessions on revenues and i also look at this and see the democrats as not making concessions on entitlement cuts. Yes there are some that the president has offered but in d. Terms of larger spending cuts he spendin has the same spending cuts on ame the table from 2011. N the why cant he move on the e spending cuts to move this forward . To because if you go beyond 1. 6 trillion in spending cuts n pretty soon you have a blueprint for secondrate nation. T for you have to reduce the deficit it for sure. If you go over the fiscal g cliff you have a recipe for secondclass nation, too. But you cant go there. You cant go there. Yo let me say because i think its very clear it needs to be clear that were talking about two go there. Stage, the speaker suggested two stages. Lets do something significant let now, and then in the next stage we can address further ss furth entitlement review reform as as well as reform of the tax code. O all you cant do all of that in a do twoweek, threeweek period but you can do a downpayment, o september the stage and go to the next stage because we care about s more about saving the entitl entitlement than the republicans. Do so we do want to reform rm them. Just quickly, do you agree if we dont have a deal this week if it wont get done until after until christmas . Im more optimistic than re that. I do think that mr. Boehner is a is wellventioned person, he knows what the risk is this snt bea us. Us. This is about the american people. People watching your show drinking their coffee wondering how t how theyre going to pay their bill and how does this affect ect them, how they pay their bills, h how they reach retirement how they send their kids to school ids to and the rest of that. This has, is relevant to their lives and that is why we cannot be frivolous about it. Done. Whatever it is, get it done and do make corrections or expansions on it next year. They can pay the bills, the lea holiday bills next year. Leader pelosi thank you for joining us. We really appreciate it. It. My pleasure. Thank you. Thank as both sides keep talking hing i one thing is clear, most of the voters really Want Congress to cong reach a deal before the deadli deadline. A new new gallup poll Shows Americans think by a 2 1 margin that going over the fiscal cliff will hurt their own personal finances. That includes 75 of republicans and and 58 of democrats. S. So theres a large number of hose p people in those poll numbers. You can see there, including republicans think that this will negativ negatively impact our personal finances. The question is whether er politicians are looking at that. E so with us now is chief h washington correspondent and host of face the nation bob schieffer. Washin bob, good morning. Good morning. So do you see any profiles g and courage in terms of both a sides coming together to get this thing done . Done not yet. Not just yet. Ust well i was just listening to miss pelosi. Former speaker. Seems to me what she was saying is if the republicans will agree to increase the tax rates, rates they will think about reducing making some sort of cuts in medicare later. Maybe im wrong when i heard her me say that. Sounded to me she said weve already done the cuts. Theyre all saying the same ll say thing, ill do this if you do he that. If do you that ill do this. O how do you break through that . Well i think number one, whatwell is important is not what is saidot in public, but what theyre public saying to one another behind the scenes. What has to happen it seems to me they have to make some sort sc of an agreement in private, and then come out together and and announce it. I think this continuing to come well out and say well do this if go youll go ahead and do that first, i dont think theyll ever get there that way. I mean maybe im just a cockeyed optimist. I i think neither side will be stupid enough to let us go over this fiscal cliff, and all that entails, even though in the entail immediate days to come its not d going to be a catastrophe, but oing this is an awful thing if they let this happen and you know it means that everybodys taxes know are going to go up. E going t nothing will be solved and the perception of it around the world is the dangerous part because what it says is we cant says get our fiscal house in order. In Speaker Boehner accuses the accuses th president of slow walking this walking t process, because hes not not putting forward new spending cuts. Ndin but in some ways doesnt the president hold most of the cards because going over the fiscal fisca cliff, everybodys taxes would go up. Do you think that the weather looking cloudy appear wet and wet around the bay area. Its going to taper off throughout the day but its going to stay chilly. In fact, temperatures in the 50s for a high today well below average the things settling down, cold tonight, dry tomorrow, maybe more rain though throughout the weekend.
