Let's act on new gun control measures there is no reason to make a
Semi-automatic assault weapon into a fully automatic
battlefield
We cannot be defined by the evil that threatens us or the violence that
incites
such terror
We're defined by our love
caring and our courage
It is
three o'clock in las vegas
And we start this hour from New York with a Fox News Alert the Las Vegas shooter may have been planning something even more sinister
than his bloody massacre police now want to know if he acted alone or
Had someone helping him plot the deadliest shooting in American and modern in
Modern American history and the theory is he did have help
Adam Housley is live still in Las Vegas with us with breaking details for us this morning Adam
Yeah a couple of big details that you guys alluded to first of all the sheriff here last night kind of alluded at that press
Conference in passing almost that there may have been some help for the killer, but a bigger I think
Headline than that is the fact that we talked with multiple investigators last night people that are very close to this case and they said
They still don't know there are so many unanswered questions, and this was the key for us
They've ruled nothing out basically
They've been unable to cross anything off the list because there's so little information at least the information that would help them identify
What made this man become a madman now that all comes as a report from the Las Vegas review-journal?
Says at least by their sources that somebody that they tart the man targeted pardon me
The fuel checks the jet fuel tanks 1,100 feet from his room
Directly across on the other side of the concert ground that happens to be only about 30 or 40 yards to my right
We saw them actually inspect those tanks on Monday now. We talked with our sources here
Who've been obviously very close to this case they don't believe that was the case?
We don't know who the reviewed journals
Source is those tanks were hit it was an 1,100 feet diffs distance so pretty far away
But they were telling us that the killer
Sprayed the area he did not target, which would make it a little more difficult for him to actually go out for those tanks
Whatever the case there were some obviously hits on those tanks
But there are also people that were fleeing near those tanks
Meantime assault comes as mayor Liu Dan Lee had a very long interview yesterday in Los Angeles. We were told that she was very cooperative
However that she didn't really have a lot of information to help with the case
They're still trying to find out more information about her companions background and her lawyer says
She will do anything she can to help figure out the answer stick listen
I am devastated by the deaths and injuries that have occurred it never occurred to me in any way whatsoever
That he was planning violence while there
He wired me money
Which he said was for me to buy a house for me and my family
It comes back to the whole thing guys
I think really can be narrowed down the fact that they have not been able to cross anything off the list
You know we're several days into this now with other attacks. We've seen in the last few years
They've been able to cross things off right away. This one is a being is a bit more tedious for them
They have gained some information, and I have been told that the one brother who was talking that still spoke to the killer
May have given a little bit different answers and that the two estranged brothers have been very helpful as well guys a couple of things
Adams that side that pop out number one
There was a theory the Las Vegas Journal review
That he popped out the second window in order to get a cleaner shot at the tanks is you turn around does that make sense?
Wow you know what?
Yes, no. I mean the same time Brian
We've showed the video from a viewer a couple of days ago on your show on Fox & Friends
From the one year prior of man who came for the same exact concert
And if you look at both those windows both see the tanks that row doesn't make a lot of sense
There's no there's no security whatsoever
All right Adam we thank you very much for joining us live and updating us on that
They did find two bullet holes in the tanks and what's interesting is and this was a detail in the New York Times this morning
That I didn't realize this guy was a licensed pilot, so not only did he work for the IRS. He worked in insurance
He worked for the post office, but he could fly planes
The other thing about it is Jeff
You know if he did indeed target and as Adam said he just kind of sprayed it strafed it
That does not necessarily light up a jet fuel tank there are mechanisms inside the tank
One expert out in Vegas said you have to be a very
Amateur terrorist to think anything like that like it can shoot it and blow it up
You know like in the movies listen to this story. There was a guy named Albert gars on who told police
He was staying in the room
The 31st floor room 135 and he said that he got a call from security
Kind of not gonna store twice the first time was at 1:30 in the morning and he said sir
You need to turn down your music your country music
He said who complained and the security guard pointed up the guy above you?
So then he comes back before night before he turns down his music the security guard comes back again and says sir the man's still
complaining of turning music off
turned his music off you realized the next day when he saw the guy above he looked out of his window and he saw the
Drapes flapping in the wind that was the guy above him, right?
And what was the concert it was country music concert a couple of things stand out
Number one is they had a dry run that daily be story or one of the people that had the service a daily beast of
a dry run for the week before
He did it that was confirmed yesterday in the press conference number two
There was a real sense among the sheriff that he had help unless he was a super man to act alone
So he does not know who that help came from but they were examining his backpack super Yahoo
Right and then this guy hay-zu's Campos. Who is the?
Security guard who had the courage and foresight to walk right to the door take a bullet in the leg through the door and then
not leave the hallway and when the minute he got there through the cameras they took a shot, but that's when they got the
Steven paddock stopped shooting tried to escape some have come up through an escape plan
Didn't escape obviously and then killed himself so therefore it was a nine minute barrage as opposed to a maybe a three or nine
That security guard. You know what he continued to do you continue to go door to door to let people out of their rooms?
Right and there you've got one of the images from outside. It is extraordinary though the sheriff said yesterday
He did have an escape plan, but he did not the sheriff offer up any details
But was curious is you know we saw those images of?
inside the room and there was a note and
Yesterday the sheriff said we found a note, but it was not a suicide
It's interesting that they're saying that they believe he had a plan to escape
Considering he had he knew they were gonna come to his room because they were gonna hear that the ammo the bullets firing off
But he had any out all those cameras set up in the hallway to see when police officer. He also blocked the stairway, right?
You had to take an elevator to get to him the sheriff did suggest
That the escape plan had something to do with the explosives in his car anyway
meanwhile the president united states flew in on Air Force one to McCarran yesterday and
He gave one of the best speeches of his presidency so far look
we're looking to our leader to unite us in times of peril and
Heartache and this certainly was one of them, and here is here is President Trump
The mass murder that took place on Sunday night fills America's heart with grief
America is truly a nation in
Mourning we struggle for the words to explain to our children how such evil can exist
How there can be such cruelty and such?
suffering
But we cannot be defined by the evil that threatens us or the violence that incites
Such terror words cannot describe
The bravery that the whole world witnessed on Sunday night
Americans defied death and
Hatred with love and with courage we will all have to wrestle with the horror of what has
unfolded this week
But we will struggle through it together, and we will overcome together as Americans
And they did some of his finest work going door to door spending 90 minutes in area hospitals and talking to others who saved
people and others
Survivors who lost people during that I know yeah, and invited them many of them to the White House
He spent 90 minutes at bedsides at the University Medical Center
He also met with a hundred medical professionals a young high school student 18 years old Tiffany Heiser
was one of the survivors and
Afterwards she was asked about the visit to her hospital room of the president United States and the first lady
And this is what she had to say about the president
Did he offer you words of comfort did he say anything that stands out to you?
He said he was amazing. Where was that yeah. He was like super nice. He wasn't who we seen on social media. He was
Much more comforting hmm What did he say that was so comforting? I?
Don't know like he's turning voice and just the way she was
The way he was not the guy that he appears to be on social media
Anyone who knows the president has chance to meet him and the reason why I got elected president
It's because he connects with people one of which he absolutely connected with was Thomas Gunderson
Thomas Gunderson was shot
But he was not going to be kept in bed when he found out the president knighted States was coming to see him
This is his cell phone video that he relayed he'll be joining us a little bit later today
But I thought his Facebook post was so telling and insightful in mind
This is a guy who was shot in the leg
And you know that you know I'm gonna stand up for the president and these were exactly what he said right?
The Facebook post said I will never lie down when the president of this great country comes to shake my hand
There may be plenty of issues in this country
But I will always respect my country my president and my flag shot in the leg or not
I will stand to show my president the respect he deserves
He will be joining us here on Fox and Friends in the eight o'clock hour
8:45 Eastern Time after he did post that on and there's his image right there after he did post it on Facebook
apparently he got a lot of
some of the haters got in there and he
Had an adjoint er rejoinder to it and just said look. It's president United States
He comes in I'm going to respect it. Not only that he posted on his Facebook page. I'm posting this
This is what how I feel and there's gonna be backlash
I'm asking people on my Facebook page that like me don't go don't get involved in the backlash don't take it personal
Ignore it because there are people out there that whatever the president does or however you associate with the president
You're gonna get backlash if you say anything positive about him well and there he is standing for the first lady
He does say that he was able to stand yesterday and be alive to this day
because of two female police officers who saved his life on
Sunday night my favorite line from the president when the worst of humanity strikes the best of humanity
Responds there you go right president system of being out there Wednesday the day before is in Puerto Rico
The series of events that's happened if you factor in the national disaster the Hurricanes in Texas and as well as Florida
I don't remember any president having to deal with this much this soon this diverse yeah, and of course. He was asked by the
Correspondents who were there what about gun control, and he said today, it's not the day to talk about that
But we will be talking about that in our town
Hall which is going to be taking place each hour?
every hour and will debate because it's already on Capitol on both sides then moving on that device that it takes a
Semi-automatic and makes it automatically see where that goes Republicans are now
Alright 13 minutes at the top of the hour coming up should there be more
Surveillance on people who buy guns a Town Hall as Brian was saying live in our studio straight ahead
Plus some Democrats at least and now at least one Republican in Congress are pushing for new regulations regarding guns like that
but the only
Manufacturer on the hill says we are looking at mass shootings all wrong
army vet an officer Steve Russell turned congressman joins us next
There is no better way to honor the 59 people who are slaughtered than to tack action take action
To prevent this from happening yet again
It's not
When will we ever do it well Democrats pushing for new gun control laws right after the Vegas attack now one Republican congressman Carlos
Corbello from Florida is drafting legislation that would ban this bump stock
And that's the device that allows
Semi-automatics to become automatics to put it simply here
Discusses is the only firearms?
Manufacturer in Congress a true expert on the matter and the man who's a unit played a key role in taking down Saddam Hussein?
he is Oklahoma Congressman Steve Russell congressman
Are you okay with this movement on these devices to ban them make him illegal?
We can talk about going after implements and tools, but really we're approaching it all wrong
After 9/11 we were shocked and we said who are these?
Terrorists who are these people how can they hurt us how can we protect the public against them?
And we've been largely successful for 16 years in that even though they've been in our country
They have access to our freedoms our firearms our free-flowing information on how to make things
That could harm the public and yet we've been successful
Why because we've identified the threat and we've engaged the public we're not doing that with these mass murderers
We're not identifying the threat
Here we have an individual who hold hundreds of pounds of equipment in right who set up cameras who went through
Elaborate detail, but he was not viewed as a threat and so
To get to a solution you can't just go after the tools Norway had massive gun laws you had
70 children murdered on an island so you're saying okay, let's just look car
So let's just look at a couple of things people said after Adam Lanza and say we had a look at mental health
Then we said we got a look at background checks we were
Green, you know red flags would have been lit up this guy had no mental health issues
And this guy's background checks were done, and he passed every single time
People looked at this the it's legal
I guess in most cases to have an automatic weapon so they want to focus on that
What would you focus on right now, or are you saying?
We should get a bipartisan select committee together with a timeline and a budget to analyze well
What are the things that?
I'm promoting is to form a task force you have experts
Where we could work on the issue with people that are actually qualified that know the laws
That know the issues I have combat experience on the firearms manufacturer. I know 18th u.s.
Code all of these things and we have others that
we can quietly work together rather than be polarized go to our corners and shout at each other and look as far as
Devices that mechanically manipulate to go to full auto and some of that we have to have all of those discussions
But going after the implements is not the solution. Yeah, we've been successful in combating terror
we can be successful against combating mass murder and to that point the
1934 Firearms Control Act 68 and 86 revisions did not ban full lot of firearms
But they did regulate them to protect the public from mass killings and those laws have been
Wildly successful with virtually no crimes committed with those firearms well see if there's something for 2017 or not
But it shouldn't be emotional. It should be analytical which has to be deliberate absolutely Congressman Steve Russell
Thanks so much for your expertise you were and you are indeed an expert. I mean while the gunman's girlfriend claiming
She had no idea of the carnage the shooter was planning, but is her denial a good defense do you buy it Judge Andrew?
Napolitano is looking at that investigation straight ahead, and we've seen body cam video. What about the law enforcement identifying the threat in Vegas?
We are back on this Thursday morning with some quick headlines starting with the Fox News Alert
Three American Green Beret dead and two more seriously hurt following an ambush
at
In the African country of Niger it's still not clear if all soldiers are accounted for the Americans advising and assisting
Nigerian forces when they came under attack by an unidentified
Terror group this marks the first u.s.
combat deaths since our military arrived in Niger to help fight al-qaeda and
17 people under arrest busted in a massive drug raid that used
Commercial airlines to shuttle cocaine and heroin across the country
prosecutors here in New York say the group hit large amounts of drugs inside suitcases flying them from Phoenix to New York City
three family members are accused of running the scheme and
Finally America's toughest sheriff is in the clear a federal judge
dismissing Joe Arpaio is criminal case and formally accepting president Trump's pardon in July the
former Maricopa County sheriff was found guilty of defying a court order to end the profiling of immigrants during traffic stops in the state of
Arizona and that is some of the news alright. There's some
There's some of the brave trained some of the brave trained to run towards the sound of gunfire
So how exactly does a SWAT team stop a threat like the one we saw in Las Vegas?
We saw those images, and we want to know Pete heggs has spent the day with Suffolk County police a man
Emergency services to find out and he joins us live yeah, it was it was a fascinating day
They were there were great people out in Suffolk County emergency services the SWAT team specifically they trained on this stuff every day
They're the guys the police call when they need
Backup in this Suffolk County Police Department SWAT team also known as emergency services as I said tree
