Than the fanatics who want to strike france today. Welcome to cbs is this morning. The morning is waking up to another act of shocking violence, one week after the deadly ambush in dallas. This time, france was hit by a new, large scale terror attack, a truck slammed into a crowd, gathered to watch bastille day fireworks, last night in the southern coastal city of nice. Cbs has confirmed the man behind the wheel was a 31yearold french citizen born in tunisia. Dozens were hurt and the police shot and killed the attacker, an american father and son on vacation, are among the dead. Sean and 11yearold Brody Copeland are from the austin, texas area. Auto Elizabeth Palmer is in the nice. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, once again, france has been plunged into shock and mourning, after what should have been a joyous occasion, huge crowds gathered to watch the fireworks. It is a big holiday in france, the equivalent of the fourth of july. People were in a festive mood when all of a sudden, a huge track rammed into the crowd. The driver barrelled down the densely packed street. Witnesses say aiming to hit as many people as he could. Police repeatedly tried to shoot him, but he managed to accelerate away, and hit dozens more. People fled in panic. Witnesses say some even jumped. This woman was on the promenade, not knowing what she was running for. Everyone was run ago way from something, but you know, we were just turning down alleys, looking for some where that might be safe. Reporter for many, there was nowhere safe. The truck charged on for over a mile, until police finally shot and killed the driver. Over 80 people, more than ten of them children were killed. The tacker has been formally identified. He is 31, a dual citizen, Mohamed Lahouaiej bouhlel, and known for petty crimes. They found fake guns and fake hand grenade, and trying to determine if he acted alone. Isis linked terror two ways in france in 2015, which killed 147 people. President francois said people are still hovering in life and death. He also mentioned the children among the injured and the dead. He said they had wanted nothing more than to enjoy a happy evening with their families, but they were mowed down by the cruelty and hinting at isis connections, a group. Elizabeth palmer in nice, thank you. No one has claimed responsibility for the terrible attack. Law enforcement source says one weapon was found with the attacker. The front page, le figaro horror again. It stretched for more than a mile along the promenade in the french resort city. Seth has details on some of the victims, and also in nice. Seth, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. We are beginning to learn more details about some of those who lost their lives, including one family who traveled here from the u. S. 51 year Sean Copeland was in nice with his family and 11yearold son brody, both father and son lost their lives in last nights attack. A friend forwarded a statement from the family, which read, we are heartbroken and in shock over the loss of Brody Copeland, an amazing son and brother, who lit up our lives and Sean Copeland, a wonderful husband an father. They are so loved. The Little League brody played for posted this photo that he enjoyed the beam in nice. The copeland joined a party of thousands for bastille day, when an attacker drove his truck through the crowd. In the horror of the events, the morrows shot this video on their phone. Sirens are going off everywhere. People are screaming, bloody mary, just hauling butt, you know, a woman with her children on her arms like this, just running, and you cant help but run with them. You have no idea what youre running from. Your adrenaline kicks in. Youre just running away from something. Morrow described the chaos and confusion of the moment. Out of nowhere, all of a sudden, people are like injured and people are crying, and now we have to get to safety, when literally, just ten minutes before, we were all on the beach enjoying fireworks. Reporter she was initially separated from her aunt and uncle during the madness, but she reunited with them. Other families this morning will not be as fortunate. There are other eyewitness reports about people taking refuge in bathrooms, in basements, even knocking on strangers doors to try to take refuge in peoples houses. Police say there are 50 Young Children in local hospitals. Thanks, seth. Seth doane in nice. Fran townsend is a former security advisor to george w. Bush. Welcome. When you look at this, and we dont know some of the facts, no one has claimed credit, we dont know if anyone else was involved, beyond that, this network of using a truck to run down human beings on a day of celebration. Awful. Look, charlie, this thing that makes it most terrifying to our viewers and to most americans is you know, we can talk about in the wake of an orlando, what should u. S. Gun policy be. But youre not going to take peoples cars away, right. It is the commonalty of the thing used to inflict the harm that i think is so shaking to people. Now, al qaeda and isis have both called for the use of vehicles, they say mow down the enemy, in some respects, you could have expected this sooner. The fact that he used a truck is what allowed him to sort of, just an awful way, tragic way, able to go for such a long period of time. But you know, you look at at the individual now that has been identified. Not known to french intelligence, no reason to think he was known to u. S. Intelligence. But known to local police as a petty criminal. Right. But nothing to suggest that this was his next act, right, that he would be thats part of the troubling thing about isis. You know, traditionally, the old al qaeda core was a hierarchy group, they got approval for plans, you forward an attack plan and it got approved. This is not that kind of a group. This is a decentralized moment, theyre selfradicalized. You know what is so frightening to me, high holiday season, how do you possibly protect against a soft target, he doesnt need an escape plan, because he figures he is not coming out alive and doesnt care. Thats right. In the wake of the bataclan and paris attacks, charlie hebdo, if youre going to walk into a public place, the prescreening area of an airport, a cafe, restaurant, it is difficult. We live if a free and open society. It puts a lot of pressure orn the Intelligence Community to try to identify these people before they act, because if you wait until that moment of the attack, much more difficult. Can you say it is the failure of french intelligence . I dont think you can. This is not somebody, based on what were told now, no reason to think he was known to french intelligence. His petty criminal record should not have tripped anybody up. But i think you know, right now, Law Enforcement officials, intelligence officials are looking, what do we know about him, surveillance we could have known, his travel. Were hearing he did not ever travel to the United States, but those are the sorts of pieces and with two american victims, of course, the fbi will have jurisdiction to open up a counterterrorism investigation here. He was not on any nofly list as far as we know at this hour. The response, Hillary Clinton has called for a, quote, intelligence surge and more sharing of data with other countries. Trump is calling for tighter restrictions on immigrants coming to the u. S. Do you see either of those as preventing an attack like this . No, look, everything you can do to mitigate the next attack, we ought to do. We need certainly better screening of those coming into the country. We know that. I dont think preventing all muslims, which donald trump has called for at various points, is the right answer. After all, some of our greatest counterterrorism cooperation comptons from our allies. Certainly, there is greater pressure on the Intelligence Community, greater resources, both to the Intelligence Community and Law Enforcement will be required if were going to track everybody who has been identified in this country alone who has been identified as a potential threat. What is causing these people to be radicalized early on. Charlie, thats the key to defeating isis. Youve got to attack the ideology. Something about this ideology and the way they sort of espouse it that is attracting the disaffected, some with mental illness, obviously, and weve got to fight the ideology. Thats the biggest challenge during the bush, obama administration, how best to do that. President obama condemned the terror attack. Margaret is at the white house. Reporter good morning. President obama is speaking with french president hollande this morning to express his condolences and reiterate his offer of assistance with the investigation. The president has been updated by his counterterrorism advisor already this morning on that Ongoing Investigation into what he has called a hor i harific t attack. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and other loved ones of those killed and wish a full recovery for the many wounded. We stand in solidarity, and partnership with france, our oldest ally. As they respond to and recover from this attack. Earlier today, in moscow, secretary of state kerry expressed his frustration that these attacks seem to be happening on a weekly basis and blamed the war in syria as the biggest incubator for terrorism right now. U. S. Authorities say it is too early to attribute it to isis, but it does give new urgency with Global Leaders to figure out how to defeat them. Thank you. The president ial candidates also offered support to france. Hillary clinton said this. Every american stands in strong solidarity with the people of france, and we say with one voice, we will not be intimidated. On twitter, donald trump said, my prayers and condolences to the victims and the families of the terrible tragedy in nice, france. We are with you in every way. Trump also tweeted that he has postpone this mornings vicepresident ial pick. Major garrett is looking at how theyre being tested as they enter a new phase. Hillary clinton called for a surge of intelligence gathering, and donald trump said if he were president , he would be extremely tough on screening all immigrants. He postponed the announcement of mike pence. We should tell you, donald trump was mildly irked that the pence news leaked. All of this, a jarring preclude to the convention. This is war. If you look at it, this is war, coming from all different parts. Hours after the carnage in nice, donald trump and Hillary Clinton agreed, america and her allies are at war. This is a war against these terrorist groups, the radical groups. It is a different kind of war. We need to be smart about how we wage it. Arguing trouble is brewing at home, trump cautioned against new refugee flows from syria. Hillary clinton and obama want to allow more people into our country. What are they doing . To underscore the seriousness of the attacks, trump postponed his News Conference to add mike pence to the ticket. I felt in light of this horrible situation, this horrible attack, it would be inappropriate. Despite trumps public denials. You know, but i havent made a final final decision. The governor flew from indian to new jersey for meetings with trumps staff. He is principled conservative. Trump wasnt the first choice during the primaries, but praised trumps instincts and ability to motivate new voters. Im grateful for his voice in the national debate. The new running mate as is sometimes the case will have to reconcile conflicting position. In december, he called trumps temporary ban on muslims entering the u. S. Offensive and unconstitution unconstitutional. In 2014, he urged the swift adoption of the transpacific partnership, a trade deal trump has aggressively opposed. Trump will announce later this morning a new time for his vp announcement. And all signs point to tomorrow here in new york. What do you think sealed the deal for him . Trump and pence . Yeah. Reassuring delegates at the convention, pence is not only a social conservative, but economic conservative and it speaks to it not a maturity on trumps part, but politics does matter. Working with the party and bringing someone that is a leader is helpful, and that he should not always go on his gut instincts or personality preferences, where is gingrich and christie were. Where do you think this leaves chris christie. Hell have a big role and a little bummed out. Well bring you coverage of next weeks convention.
