Car so that we can take the appropriate action to address this situation. And were getting chilling details about the shooting from a cousin of the pastor killed in the attack. A survivor tells her the suspect asked who the pastor was, sat next to him, but it wasnt until about an hour into the meeting that the suspect began firing. She said that he had loaded reloaded five different times. And her son was trying to talk him out of doing that act of killing people. And he just said i have to do it. He said you rape our women. And you are taking over our country. And you have to go. Bengie is near the crime scene in charleston joins us with the very latest. Good morning. Good morning, jose. And as you can see from that detail, the mood is quite grim. People are starting to really grapple with the details of what happened, which were very slow to come out after the initial incident. There were very few interviews with any witnesses. Families have mostly been holed up at a nearby hotel, waiting for information, presumably comforting each other. I spoke with one pastor. He said everyone is giving them their space. Not pressing them for too much detail. What we do no is horrifying. A lot of people were taken aback by the news at a press conference with the police chief that said that the shooter sat for an hour with these people in a normal bible study session before opening fire. Then you heard the chilling details we heard there about him reloading multiple times, saying he had to do it for what sounded like deranged hateful, perhaps brutally racist reasons. Its doing to be a while before we comprehend truly the full horror of the attack. Especially because we only know who one of the victims was. The pastor of the church Clementa Pinckney. Theres still no information on the other eight People Killed who their names were their ages. All we know is their gender. Six women killed three men. But thats all we know for now, jose. And meanwhile, authorities have began this search. They are looking everywhere. Tell me a little bit about how that part is going. Now, this isnt like the boston bomber manhunt where everyone was confined to their houses, where it felt like there were tanks rolling down the street. Things are proceeding even a block away from the church as normal. Theres traffic rumbling through, buses. You would not think its some crazed manhunt situation, but were being told that people are on the case and its now a regional search. There are people concerned since they dont know the immediate location of this shooter, good he could have gotten to somewhere else another city another state. So authorities reassured earlier that first, theyre working with the fbi and also people from other police departments, state police departments, to look from everywhere to charleston to savannah to columbia. The entire region no stone is being left unturned. Everyone is on high alert until they can apprehend the suspect. Thank you very much. I want to go back to this picture that i want you to see. This is the picture theyre looking for as a suspect. A white male 59. Slender build, in his early 20s, driving a black fourdoor sedan. You see the tip line if you know anything, if you think you recognize this person call this tip line. This is an important search that is going on as bengy was saying, not only in that city but throughout the region. Let me bring in clint van zandt. Theres a massive manhunt in charleston, but its bigger than just charleston. Its bigger than charleston. Its bigger than the state. The fbi, atf, the Marshal Service are contributing men, women, and resources anywhere from the forensic to the investigative side to identify this individual. And then as quick as they can, get him into custody. And clint, in this case where we have a picture of him, and its a pretty clear picture of him. There are more than one pictures, but when you look at it hes got a very specific hairstyle. Its pretty clear in the photo that, you know theres some recognizing features to him. This should be should be relatively easy to be to identify this person. And i think it will be too. The authorities may already have a pretty good idea who this is. Somebody this young, jose you and i know that hes going to likely have a presence on social media. Hes young enough he would have just got out of school. People are going to know who he is, and theyre going to know the rhetoric he expounds. Even just the sweatshirt hes wearing has a patch on the left part of his chest. I mean that may be something people recognize. The fact that its a very kind of different hairstyle he has, right, clint . These are all issues the type of clothes hes wearing here. These are all issues that can help identify him. Friends, family neighbors, people are going to know this guy. Im sure there are tips coming in by the hundreds right now. As i say, they may well know who he is. They have to find out where he is. When i was on the today show this morning, we were talking about the license plate on the car. Its not like a tom clancy novel, necessarily, where you can look from outer space and look at that license plate. You have to have something fairly decent to work with. But they may well be able to either identify it by the plate or by the type of car and the registration within that state. You know hypothetically, whatever the make of the car might be how many cars of that make model, and color are registered in that local area. So theres a lot being done but jose, you know weve got to realize, this guy came loaded to bear. When you hear the witnesses talk about this guy reloading five different times, i was at Virginia Tech when the shooting took place. I was there for five days on that story. And that same type of attitude that cho, the shooter at Virginia Tech, he had two different handguns and loaded and reloaded. That type of thinking that anger, that rage it appears to be expressed here and again, this is somebody who not only brought a gun but a lot of ammunition, so he planned on doing a lot of damage. Yeah, and i mean going back to the picture of him entering the church. He is carrying what looks to be a fanny pack which may very well be a holster for a large weapon. Then we could be looking at the photo in the right arm, he may have a sling, but you see right there, that pouch looks very similar to one of those holsters that people that have handguns have. So he came in. Also a survivor says this guy asked who the pastor was and then sat down next to him. But didnt begin shooting until about an hour into the meeting. What do you take away from that . This was a madman on a mission. You know maybe he needed to satisfy himself that this crazy idea that he had, this racial hatred, that he wanted to sit there and he wanted to hear what people say. He wanted to get close. He wanted to satisfy himself in his own challenged way, that these were people that he had to act out against. And again, jose like we see in places of worship, again, last year, i quoted the statistic i found on the internet that suggested that there were 176 acts of violence that took place in places of worship around the country in the u. S. Last year. 74 that resulted in death. So the places you and i used to think of places that were safe are home our schools, our churches, all of those are being violated by individuals who simply see them as targetrich environments. And clint, just the thought process that goes on and im thinking, for example, of the aurora theater shooting where this person enters a theater, its dark pitch black. He doesnt have any relationship to use a term with the people he is attacking. In other words theyre kind of anonymous people sitting in a theater. But this guy actually walks in, and he has a relationship for up to an hour with people. He listens to them. He talks to them. He knows ss theyre in a house of god. He knows these are people who are there to nourish their soul. Im just thinking there is a different mindset than going into a place and randomly shooting at people who you have no idea who they are and what their reason to be there at the moment is. This is different, clint. Well it tells you how challenged his mind is and again, in his crazy thinking he makes a statement suggesting that one of the reasons for committing mass murder is because people are raping women. Well, three of his victims were men. Nine or six were women. That doesnt even you know what were doing, jose you and i are trying to find order in chaos. Were trying to say, okay, what type of label, what type of understanding can we give . When you get someone who is this bent on destruction, its so hard outside of the realm of you and me and your listeners to understand that level of hatred. And probably that level of potential selfdestruction, that exists within him, too. And clint, someone who does this, when youre now searching for this person is there a probability that the same way that he methodically went in and sat for an hour and listened to the people that would become his victims 60 minutes later, that he would have thought of a plan of escape that would be detailed enough to be able to avoid being detected or caught for a while . Likely not. Likely not. This is the type of individual with, i believe, the mental challenges, the hatred that he has. This is someone who would have identified this church as a potential target where he knew people that represented those he was angry against would be. But so many times, jose we see these individuals. Theyll think this part out. Theyll bring the gun, the ammunition. Theyll identify the targetrich environment, but afterwards they just flee. They have no plan. But does he continue to be a threat to the community, to the police, and to himself . The answer is absolutely yes. Absolutely. And i want to get back to that picture, clint. I just want to let people know and maybe you could help with this. I want to show full frame the picture of this guy. Clint, what is it that we can ask folks who are watching that may know this person . What is it to look for . What is it you can say, look i hadnt seen that. Thats something that i know maybe someone carries. What are you looking at that we need to say, folks, help . If you know this person call in. Im looking at distinctive hairstyle of the individual, im looking at his build. Im looking at the emblem on the left upper side of the shirt, im looking at the boots that he wears, that he seemed comfortable in and the vehicle hes driving. That combination of five things you put that together and there are people watching your show right now, jose who absolutely know who this is. And thats the time they pick up the phone and they call the fbi tip line. There are men and women in Law Enforcement scouring that whole city that whole state, trying to find this guy. He may be on the run. We know that sheshes got upwards of a 12hour headstart if hes on the run, if he didnt hunker down and if he didnt already commit some type of act against himself. Thank you very much for being with me. Hes about 59 early 20s, and is last seen driving that fourdoor black or dark automobile. It happened in charleston and authorities are asking if you know anything, if you think you recognize, identify this person to call the tip line. We continue to learn more about the gunman in the shooting and the Images Police released of him a short time ago. Im joined by amen yman mohyeldin in our studios in new york. Right now, the focus for Law Enforcement continues to be on these surveillance pictures taken at the church. This is the suspected gunman. These pictures are so important, so critical that police made an earlier announcement hours before their official briefing this morning so they could get this picture out to the public and to the media. Police describe the suspect as this, a cleanshaven white man about 21 to 25 years old, with sandy blond hair and wearing a gray sweatshirt blue jeans, and boots. You can see a white undershirt there. Police also released pictures of a possible getaway vehicle. Investigators cannot offer a make and model on the fourdoor dark colored sedan, but theres an h on the grill. It appears to be a hyundai. This is appearing to be a hate crime. What has bothered witnessed and police alike is the gunman sat in church for a long time before he opened fire. The individual was actually in the church attending a meeting that was going on there and stayed there almost an hour with the group for the actual event. Now comes the important part the actual search. Again, were showing you these pictures because police need as many people as possible to see it. This shooting happened more than 12 hours ago, and there are questions about where the gunman could be by now. Were getting phone calls in. I hope that were getting good tips. I know the phone calls are coming in. As soon as a phone call comes in, if its legitimate were sending out teams of investigators. Were asking the media to get this out as broadly as possible and were extending this to all of our Law Enforcement partners up and down the east coast and throughout the United States because we dont know where this individual is right now. So Everybody Needs to be vigilant. Everybody needs to be aware of their surroundings. If they see anything at all that is suspicious, they need to call 911 and let Law Enforcement out and address that situation. The officers are theyre energized, theyre tired, theyre energized though because they take this personal. They take somebody coming into our city going into a church sitting down with people who are praying and exercising their religious beliefs, and murdering them were going to get through it. And were going to keep pushing. Now, police have not said what kind of gun was used in the shooting. They are tracking the suspect with police dogs. The mayor of charleston said the city is offering a reward for information leading to the gunmans arrest. Jose. Thank you very much.

Dave wagner joins me live. Whats the very latest . Yeah good morning, jose. The search is on now for the man responsible for this. And you have seen the picture of him, described as between 21 and 25 years old. A young man, and a pretty clear surveillance picture that they have. They also have a picture of his car as well. Theyre asking people in this community and people outside this community to keep an eye out for him. What is perhaps most troubling, jose, is that they say he spent about an hour with these Bible Study Group last night, talking to them before he opened fire on them. The pastor of the church the Senior Pastor who is also a prominent state senator in South Carolina, was among those killed. Some of the Family Members are frustrated because they have not gotten word about possible other victims. They dont know whether or not their Family Members were inside there. Some have told me that they have tried to Contact Police and the Coroners Office and have gotten no definitive word back from them. So it is a tough time for them as they wait for word about Family Members who said they were going to be in church and never returned home. They just dont know what happened to them. And dave talk to me about the manhunt, which already, were 12 hours plus into this. How widespread is it and i think its so important that officials are requiring and requesting people to help to send in their tips. Someone knows who this guy is. Yeah well the picture itself is not a bad picture. I have seen better and i have seen worse surveillance video. We know its a young man, according to the picture. We know hes white. Appears to be in his early 20s, and we have an idea of the car he was driving at some point. Police have been very careful about tipping their hand on this giving us very limited information, which we understand, about this suspect. So theyre passing along the information they want but not a whole lot of other information. But theyre hoping someone out there, and we dont know youre right, jose a lot of time has passed, and we dont know where this person might be but obviously, there are a lot of surveillance cameras in charleston like in a lot of cities, and they were able to at least capture an image of him, which will hopefully help. Dave wagner thank you very much. After this short break, more on the search for the gunman and the victims killed in the Charleston Church massacre.
