Breaking news President Obama making a statement on the Aurora Colorado shootings just moments ago.
Michelle and I'll be fortunate enough to -- our girls a little tighter tonight.
And I'm sure you'll do the same what your children but.
For those parents who may not be so lucky.
We have to embrace them and let them know we will be.
Therefore them as a nation.
We're gonna bring in bill Daley is a former FBI investigator currently senior vice president with control risks group and still the president heading on the emotional side of all of this the practical point is now.
What happened and what is the investigation -- we can bring up the video but did you -- with the doing at this suspect's apartment now -- -- -- the police think it's booby trapped in the being so careful going in there and try to figure out what's inside that apartment.
Yeah exactly we don't have all the details right now to understand the full scope of what what this person had -- open mind.
Who if anyone he may have had help with we don't believe so at this point it doesn't seem to be but we were known to legal into his apartment you more evidence.
And -- to understand more fully how we was able to assemble.
Maybe the equipment in the apartment also how to get this gas canister -- not too sure what was in the gas.
As -- a weapons are a lot of questions yet to be -- that all will be taking investigated sometime given what they're up against right now it would about the complications.
Of this shooting scene in with some new people being there and what investing investigators are facing yeah right right now digging then and that is cordon off as a crime -- you have all the victims and their -- the ones that died in place those people -- -- hospital.
Obviously evidence is being -- from them regarding ballistics.
So please be spending a lot of time coming through there and trying to understand you know again how did he get this equipment -- was -- that -- -- ahead of time.
How -- he may have skirted any security in place.
Let's not forget that at this this theater they had police did not initially for securities screening people but there was a security presence.
You know from police and private security because of the large crowd right and you think that might even be -- -- to someone like this but he was certainly intense so.
Understanding what's behind this we'll certainly.
Given -- -- to what may be movie theaters and other venues need to do in the future -- security.
Exactly New York in the police department here headed up by the commissioner Ray Kelly put out a statement saying that there.
-- of the beefing up security today but the concern being obviously that some sort of a copycat.
Crime might occur but -- looking at some of the video here.
Next to -- on the screen right now I believe of the apartment complex and if we -- those live pictures.
Believe these are alive they are right now these are live pictures of the apartment complex and -- you could see the did firefighters and other officials using that cherry picker to go and sit back to that earlier point of trying to figure out.
Who is this guy 24 year old James homes and is it jets TM.
So there weren't obviously that they are gonna get caught up in some sort of an explosion or whenever in the in the apartment the once they get in there.
What kind of questions.
Well first off in big thing of course today is looking at any type of electronic forensics mean everything from.
You know my cellphone he may have had -- PDA to his computer.
Who has been communicating what's been out there I mean in any -- has he indicated to others what he was planning or that he had some type of harboring this this type -- feelings against.
Either the theater of the people in general we're not too sure what was the motive.
But I think at the end result of this who will be reflection on what security measures need to be in place in these more public venues now now we've been.
That break begs the question I wanna point out that this is on our filling -- -- live pictures are coming to us from Casey and -- Our affiliate.
-- out and Colorado but again that is suspect James homes apartment that the police are dealing with potentially booby trapped.
It's what we heard from -- world police chief.
But on that note why isn't this preventable bill I -- that's what people will look at this and say if you have.
Potentially a gentleman who has explosives -- his apartment you can why wore a wire they're never it seems to be warning signs or maybe that war.
But maybe whereas we've seen some occasional -- -- -- heated to a picked up on and it's way.
Even as a nation who's always use the -- see something say something more about terrorist but you know it's certainly been applicable to cases where there's been shootings on college campuses like division attack.
And other place please what people may have had sent -- an indication beforehand see something say something reported in early I think here though the question will be.
You know how -- -- purchases on this -- and what was that gas to the apparent released in the theater how to do get that.
And who may have been at least aware that he was harboring -- -- and apartment I mean I'm always amazed when you see -- -- -- this that.
They were able to we're -- pay for his apartment he had an apartment he was living someplace.
What else was he doing day in day out the seem to be resemble normal activities and those things that were -- apparently aberrant behavior.
Stay at a fairly calm demeanor just so strange when he walks into this theater he releases the gas canister that you talked about in one gun accorded eyewitnesses in his hand another strapped to his back.
What's the first one was empty he calmly takes the second one and continue shooting him in just unbelievable.
Stuff so we'll keep covering it obviously throughout the hour of the bill thank you very much general bill -- don't know.
