live picture. this all started approximately at 10:14 am, central time. the shooter opened fire on the towns parade from a rooftop, along that route. and again, police say six people have been killed, and health officials report that at least two dozen, if not three dozen, were hurt. 25 with gunshot wounds in that total. let s go straight to shaquille brewster and as an msnbc correspondent there on the ground for us. and shaq, just the breaking news within the last 15 minutes that they have apprehended that person of interest. what else are we hearing? well, we are likely not gonna have any more updates from local law enforcement until tomorrow. but you heard this in the past couple of minutes there. we had that major update that person of interest was identified and, identified and captured. he is now in custody. just so you get a sense of where lake forest is. it s a town about 15 minutes from where i m standing right now. i m at the crime scene, about a block away from w
ask read? writings of any length, indications of an understanding of motive? yeah, our colleague ben collins has been deep in a couple of different places on social media accounts. we have a whole team dedicated to that here. the initial indications from ben s reporting, and our reporting, and what we are hearing from people who ve been briefed on this investigation. is of is a lot of things that i think people are finding highly unusual. there is some youtube videos that seem to have some sort of ties is not the right word, but storm sort of a link to mass shootings that this person may have had a significant interest in mass shootings of some type, certainly with violence, of shooting at the people perhaps shooting themselves. i think violence is the key kind of underscore. but it is something that we
