>> AMERICA'S NUMBER ONE NEWS, ABC NEWS. HELLO EVERYONE, I'M TERRY MORAN. NEW AWFUL DETAILS COMING IN ABOUT THE MASSACRE AT ROBB ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN UVALDE, TEXAS. 19 CHILDREN DEAD, MOST OF THEM 15 YEARS OLD OR YOUNGER. PARENTS IN THE COMMUNITIES STILL DEMANDING ANSWERS AND ACTION FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT ON WHAT HAPPENED. THIS COMES AS OFFICIALS ARE NOW TELLING A VERY DIFFERENT STORY ABOUT HOW LONG IT TOOK OFFICERS TO ENTER THE SCHOOL AND TRY TO RESCUE THE CHILDREN. AND HOW THE SHOOTER GOT IN. MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENGAGED BY THE OFFICERS ON THE SCENE. LISTEN TO THIS. >> WITH A BIT OF HINDSIGHT ON WHERE I AM SITTING NOW, OF COURSE IT WAS NOT THE RIGHT DECISION. IT WAS A WRONG DECISION. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT. BUT AGAIN, I WAS NOT THERE. I AM TELLING YOU, FROM WHICH WE KNOW, WE BELIEVE THE SHOULD'VE BEEN INTERESTING AS YOU CAN. WHEN THERE IS A MASS SHOOTER, RULES CHANGE. IT IS NO LONGER, OKAY, NO LONGER BARRICADED. WE DON'T HAVE TIME. WE DON'T WORRY ABOUT MATTERS. BY THE WAY, TEXAS EMBRACES ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING, ACTIVE SHOOTER CERTIFICATION. AND THAT DOCTRINE REQUIRES -- WE DON'T CARE WHAT AGENCY YOU ARE FROM. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A LEGAL -- EVERY OFFICER LINES, UP GOES AND FINDS WHERE THE GROUNDS ARE BEING FIRED AT, AND KEEPS SHOOTING UNTIL THE SUBJECT IS THAT. DEAD. >> THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, OBVIOUSLY. BRINGING IN AARON KATERSKY, WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY ALICE PARKS, AS WELL AS -- HE IS A FORMER SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, POLICE CHIEF. I JUST WANT TO START WITH AARON. WE HAVE JUST HEARD THAT THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY CHIEF, STEVE MCCRAW, SO IT WAS WRONG TO NOT ENGAGE THE SHOOTER ONCE HE WAS LOCKED IN THE CLASSROOM. I JUST WANT TO KNOW. AFTER HEARING THESE NEW REVELATIONS, WHAT? ALL RIGHT, I WILL START WITH YOU. IF YOU COULD PLEASE, FOR SOME REASON WE DID NOT HAVE YOUR MIC UP. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW? >> ONE BIG QUESTION, TERRY, I THINK, WHAT LED TO THE INCIDENT COMMANDER, HEAD OF THE UVALDE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICE DEPARTMENT, MAKE THE DECISION TO WAIT 35 MINUTES FROM THE TIME THE TACTICAL TEAM ARRIVED ON SCENE, TO ACTUALLY SEND THEM INTO BREACH THE CLASSROOM? WHAT MADE HIM ASSUME THAT HE HAD TIME TO WAIT? HE TRANSITIONED TO THE INCIDENT FROM AN ACTIVE SHOOTER TO A BARRICADED SITUATION. AND, ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, BELIEVED THAT HE HAD TIME. WHAT'S GAVE HIM THAT INCLINATION THAT HE HAD TIME? AND THAT THERE WERE NO MORE CHILDREN AT RISK? WHEN WE KNOW FROM 9-1-1 CALLS THAT PEOPLE INSIDE A CLASSROOM 1:12 AND 1:11, THOSE ADJOINING CLASSROOMS, WE'RE MAKING CALLS PLEADING FOR HELP. AND INFORMING OPERATORS THAT THERE WERE, IN FACT, SHOTS BEING FIRED. IT WAS, AS A DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY HEAD STEVE MCCRAW SAID, NOT THE RIGHT DECISION. >> THE RIGHT DECISION. AND I WANT TO GO TO JARRED -- AS A FORMER POLICE OFFICER, FORMER POLICE CHIEF OF A SIZEABLE CITY. SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA, I JUST WANT YOUR REACTION TO WHAT WE HEARD. >> MY REACTION IS JUST DISAPPOINTMENT. WE TALK ABOUT LESSONS LEARNED IN THIS BUSINESS. WE TALK ABOUT THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM ALL THE PREVIOUS INSTANCES. HOW TO HANDLE THEM, HOW TO RESPOND, HOW TO MANAGE. AND YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE A LOT OF LESSONS LEARNED IN THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT. BUT WE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION. WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THESE, WE KNOW HOW TO RESPOND, WE KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT JUST DOES NOT DONE IN THIS CASE. AND WE FEAR IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THIS, AS THE MAYOR KEPT EVOLVING THAT SOMETHING WAS VERY WRONG, SOME THINGS WERE NOT LINING UP, WHEN YOU EVENTUALLY THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. FROM MY OWN VIEWPOINT, WATCHING THIS FROM WHERE I SIT, I WISH WE WERE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION TODAY'S. AGO BECAUSE WE KNEW THESE FACTS TWO DAYS AGO. THINGS COULD'VE BEEN RESOLVED IN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS OF PEOPLE HAD JUST BEEN TRANSPARENT ABOUT IT. >> A GOOD POINT. THAT IS ON THE GOVERNOR. TEXAS EITHER INTENTIONALLY OR UNINTENTIONALLY, HE MISLED TEXANS AND THE COUNTRY. I WOULD LIKE TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT. OBVIOUSLY, A LAY PERSON, A CIVILIAN, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A TERRIFYING RESPONSIBILITY. WHEN THERE WAS AN ACTIVE SHOOTER, YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE HIM OUT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED HERE. AND THESE OFFICERS WERE STILL HEARING GUNFIRE. THE TIMELINE OF THE GUNFIRE AFTER THEY BASS DOWN BACK DOWN, THERE WERE STILL BEING SHOTS FIRED IN THAT CLASSROOM. AND I JUST WONDER, I GUESS IT IS HUMAN. ARE YOU SURPRISED THEY DID NOT GO IN? >> I AM SURPRISED, ACTUALLY, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. SURPRISED FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS. SO, JUST A PERSONAL STORY. I WAS A POLICE OFFICER. AND I CAN REMEMBER HOW THAT INCIDENT, GETTING THE FIRST BIT OF TRAINING. THERE WAS A SHIFT IN THE MINDSET, WE HAVE THIS TRAINER KILLING US. SAFETY PROTOCOLS GOING OUT THE WINDOW. ALL THE THINGS YOU'VE BEEN TRAINING ABOUT. STAYING SAFE, SURROUNDING THE PARAMETER, CALLING -- IN, THAT IS OUT THE WINDOW NOW. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY. AND YOU REALIZE YOU ARE NOT GETTING THAT TRAINING IT WAS VERY HARD TO MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR. AND THAT WAS THAT, YOU PUT ON THE BADGE, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DO IT. WE HOPE TO GOD YOU NEVER HAVE TO DO IT, BUT WHEN THAT HAPPENS YOU HAVE GOT TO RISE TO THE MOMENT. AND IN THIS CASE IT APPEARS THEY DID NOT DO IT. AND THIS FRIGHTENING. IT DOES NOT SURPRISE ME THAT THEY DID NOT DO IT. WHAT REALLY SURPRISES ME IS THAT YOU HAVE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICE CHIEF, WHO ONLY HAS FIVE PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR HIM. IT IS A VERY SMALL DEPARTMENT. PROBABLY NOT CAPABLE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM OF TRULY RESPONDING TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS EFFECTIVELY. WHO IS RUNNING THE SCENE. AND IT SURPRISES ME THAT HIS 19, 20, 14, 15 OFFICERS, IF SOMEBODY ELSE DOES NOT TAKE OVER AS ESSENTIALLY THE COMMANDER AND MAKE A DIFFERENT CALL. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THEREOFFIT THERE SAYING, WE ARE NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING, WE HAVE TO GO IN. >> THAT IS A QUESTION. THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN. IT IS HUMAN NATURE. THEY ARE CHILDREN, IT IS SHOTS BEING FIRED. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT, ESPECIALLY AS YOU SAY, IF YOU ARE WEARING, THAT YOU WANT TO GOING. MARY ALICE YOU ARE COVERING THE WHITE HOUSE FOR US. WE KNOW THAT THE, WHITE HOUSE THE FIRST LADY, ARE SET TO VISIT THE VICTIM, AND THE UVALDE COMMUNITY THIS WEEKEND. THERE IS A STOP, AS THERE ALWAYS HAS BEEN AFTER THE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS AND SHOOTING UP GROCERIES EVERY PLACE ELSE IN AMERICA, THAT YEAH, TERRY, WELL THIS TIME WE DO MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING IN CONGRESS, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN? HAVE ABOUT TEN MEMBERS OF THE SENATE, A BIPARTISAN GROUP THAT SAY THEY'RE GONNA WORK THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND ON TALKS. THERE ARE THINGS LIKE UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS, AND RED FLAG LAWS, THAT ARE EXTREMELY POPULAR WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THAT ARE ON THE TABLE. SO WE WILL SEE IF THEY REACH SOME KIND OF AGREEMENT. ANOTHER A LOT OF MY FELLOW REPORTERS HERE IN WASHINGTON, IT IS SO HARD BECAUSE WE'VE JUST SEEN THIS BEFORE AND I THINK IT DONE, THAT THE NEW PATH. I DO THINK THAT THIS CONVERSATION GATHER HAVE-ING NOW WILL PUT EVEN MORE ATTENTION AGAIN ON JUST THE STYLE OF WEAPON, THE TYPE OF WEAPON. WAS THAT A PART OF WHAT LED TO SOME POLICE OFFICERS TO HESITATE HERE, A FEAR THAT THEY ARE JUST OUTGUNNED. SO MUCH OF THE CONVERSATION IN THE WHITE HOUSE, THE PRESIDENT BIDEN LIKES TO BRING IT UP JUST WIDE WE ALLOW FOR KIDS SO YOUNG TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE SUCH HEAVY WEAPONS OF WAR? SO QUICKLY? LARGE, BIG MAGAZINES IN BODY ARMOR, AND ALL THE ACCESSORIES OF WAR THAT GO ALONG WITH THESE WEAPONS TO. AND I IMAGINE THAT SOME OF THAT WILL BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION AT LEAST PART OF THE QUESTION THAT THESE LAWMAKERS ARE GONNA CONTINUE TO FACE. >> ABSOLUTELY. THOSE EFFORTS IN THE PAST ABOUT RESULTED IN VERY MUCH, ALL THAT THEY DID OUTLAW THE MODERNIZATION TO THE AIR RIFLES IT MADE IT MORE LIKE AN AUTOMATIC RIFLE. AND AARON, THE SENSE WE GOT FROM THAT PRESS CONFERENCE IS THAT POLICE WERE WORRIED ABOUT BEING OUTGUNNED, AS MORALES JUST SAID. THEY HAVEN'T SAID THAT, BUT IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE AND WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT AMERICAN POLICING RIGHT NOW? OH, TERRY, THEY ARE TRAINED TO GO IN. AND YOU HEARD DIRECTIONAL CROSS SAY THAT TEXAS SUBSCRIBES TO THE DOCTRINE THAT CHIEF BURKE WHAT WAS DESCRIBING. WHEN THERE'S AN ACTIVE SHOOTER, YOU GO IN. HERE ARE THE COMMANDER SEEM TO BELIEVE THIS WAS NO LONGER AN ACTIVE SHOOTER. THERE ARE SO MANY AS 19 OFFICERS THAT WERE INSIDE THE SCHOOL. THE FIRST COUPLE WERE TAKING, FIRE AND WERE HIT AND THEY HAD TO RETREAT. BUT THERE WERE OTHERS THAT WERE THERE THAT DID NOT BREACH LOCKED DOORS. TERRY, THE POLICE ALSO I THINK ARE FRUSTRATED AND THIS WAS REFLECTED IN LACROSSE COMMENTS TOWARDS THE END, THEY COULDN'T STOP THE SHOOTER BEFORE HE EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT BECOMING A SCHOOL SHOOTER. AND HE RELAYED THE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS THAT BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR, WHERE THE SUSPECT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN ASKING A SISTER TO BUY HIM A GUN. SHE REFUSED, BUT THEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR WITH THE SUSPECT IS STARTING TO BE DESCRIBED ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS A POTENTIAL SCHOOL SHOOTER. THEN ON MARCH 3RD, I HEAR YOU ARE BUYING A GUN. THAT IS WORD ON THE STREET ONE POSED TO HIM SAID. MARCH 14TH, TEN MORE DAYS HE. POLICE AND THE USER REPLIES, ARE YOU GOING TO SHOOT UP A SCHOOL? SO THERE WERE THESE DIGITAL RED FLAGS THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN UNCOVERING. JUST NOBODY WAS ABLE TO CONNECT THE DOTS. AND I WONDER, AND IF I CAN GO BACK TO JARRED FOR A MOMENT ON THIS, FIRST I SHOULD NOTE THAT YOU AFTER THAT TRAINING DID HAVE AN EXPERIENCE WITH A 2015 SAN BERNARDINO MASS SHOOTING THERE. AND SO, WE ARE DRAWING ON THAT EXPERIENCE AS WELL. THERE'S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT RED FLAG LAWS. THEY OPERATE A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY THAN JUST SEARCHING PEOPLE SOCIAL MEDIA BUT I WONDER, AND I'VE SAID THIS, BEFORE YOU GO ONLINE, YOU'RE SHOPPING FOR SOMETHING, YOU CLICK ON IT. INSTANTLY YOU ARE GETTING ADS AND ALL OF YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS, JUMP TEXT, EMAIL. THEY TRACK, YOU THEY FLAG YOU AND THEY SEND THAT INFORMATION TO MERCHANTS. WHY CAN'T THEY DO THAT IF SOMEBODY IS TALKING ABOUT SHOOTING UP SCHOOLS? OR WHO HAD TORTURED AND KILLED ANIMALS AND TALKED ABOUT I IT ONLINE? I JUST WONDER HOW MUCH THAT MIGHT HELP FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE? WILL >> I DON'T KNOW THE LOST DICTATE WHAT IS SHARED OUTSIDE OF THE MARKETING TIME, AND I WILL TELL YOU FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT STANDPOINT, WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO ANY DATABASES THAT SAYS THAT WHEN A CERTAIN PERSON IS DOING TYPES OF THINGS, OR SOMEBODY IS ENGAGED IN, IT FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT STANDPOINT WHAT WE ARE RELY ON IS THE PUBLIC OR SOMEBODY BRINGING SOMETHING TO US. THE SIZE OF SOCIAL MEDIA, THE SCOPE OF IT, THE MASSES OF COMMUNICATION IS SOMETHING BEYOND THE SCOPE OF INDIVIDUAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO BE ABLE TO MONITOR. WE RELY ON PEOPLE TO REPORT THINGS TO US, AND THEN WE TAKE IT UPON US TO TAKE CERTAIN ACTIONS TO INTERVENE, TO HELP, TO GET SOMEBODY OUT OF CRISIS ORLANDO MENTAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. WE RELY ON THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. WHEN YOU WORK WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE TOOLS THAT WE HAVE, BUT REQUIRE SOMEBODY TO COME TO US AND SAY HEY I'M REALLY CONCERNED. THIS IS WHAT I'M SEEING, THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING. AND IT APPEARS IN THIS CASE THE FOLKS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS WERE NOT REPORTING IT TO LAW. ENFORCEMENT AND THAT IS A VERY GOOD EXPLANATION OF HOW LAW ENFORCEMENT WORKS. IT IS THE 21ST CENTURY AND WE THERE ARE WAYS FOR THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY TO BRING OUT SOMEBODY WHO MAKES A BAD JOKE AND THEY GET BAND. THEY CERTAINLY ARE WATCHING EVERYTHING THAT IS ON THEIR PLATFORMS AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FILTER AND CHECK ON IT, THIS KIND OF DANGEROUS ACTIVITY. BUT I WANNA GO BACK TO MARY ALICE. ON THE NRA, SO FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID THAT CHAD CRUISE OF THE PROMINENT REPUBLICAN SAID TO SPEAK AT THE AND AREAS CONVENTION HOUSTON TODAY. GREG ABBOTT, AND HIS LOSS HAVE INFINITE GOVERNOR HAS CANCELED A PLAN TO ATTEND BUT I GUESS ABBOTT IS GONNA TRY TO ADDRESS THE GROUP VIRTUALLY. SO, THE TIMING HAS GOT TO BE AWKWARD FOR THE NRA WITH, OR MAYBE NOT. SANDY HOOK, YOU NAME IT. EVERY TIME YOU THINK THAT THERE IS A SENSE THAT WE CAN'T GO ON WITH THE GUN LAWS THAT WE HAVE, AND THE GUN CULTURE THAT WE HAVE, IT JUST ROLLS OFF THEIR BACKS LIKE WATER OFF EJECTS BACK. SO TELL US ABOUT THE NRA CONVENTION AND WHAT TO EXPECT? >> HE, I THINK HE LAID OUT A LOT OF IT. WE'RE GONNA HEAR FROM THESE PROMINENT REPUBLICANS THAT ARE STILL PLANNING TO SPEAK. THERE'S A LOT OF POLITICAL PRESSURE OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS FOR THE NRA TO POTENTIALLY POSTPONE, OR CANCEL. AND SO, FAR NO INDICATION THAT THERE REALLY SCALING BACK. WE ARE EXPECTING QUITE A LOT OF PROTESTERS, QUITE A LOT OF GUN SAFETY ADVOCATES, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR PRESENCE IS KNOWN AS WELL. BUT YOU ARE RIGHT. IN A LOT OF WAYS THE NRA IS ACTUALLY SORT OF MOVED THE GOALPOSTS HERE. THEY HAVE ANSWERED EVERY MASS SHOOTING WITH A POLITICAL ARGUMENT THAT MORE GUNS IS THE ANSWER. GUNS ALL THE TIME EVERYWHERE UNFETTERED ACCESS. AND IT HAS SHOWED ME TO HOW THE POLITICAL PRESSURE THAT HAS BEEN PUT ON SOME OF THESE REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS TO REALLY EXPAND THAT KIND OF ACCESS. LIKE I AM THINKING, ABOUT I WAS JUST THINK ABOUT THIS LAST WEEKEND IN TEXAS. NEW LAWS, FOR EXAMPLE HAVE PERMANENT LIST CONCEALED CARRY. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY UNPOPULAR WHEN YOU PULL SORT OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC, BE UNPOPULAR AMONG GUN HOLDERS, AMONG REPUBLICANS. BUT THE SMALLEST SLIVER OF EXTREMELY POLITICALLY ACTIVE MEMBERS THAT HAVE CONTINUED TO PUSH THESE, TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE NOT ONLY TO BUY WEAPONS, ANY WEAPONS, BUT TO BE ABLE TO CARRY THEM AT ALL TIMES. EXACTLY, IT IS EXTREMELY ENERGIZE BASE OF THE GUN RIGHTS ADVOCATES WHO HAVE BLOCKED THE MAJORITIES. WE'LL 90 SOME PERCENT, UPWARDS OF 97% OF AMERICANS WANT UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS NOT JUST FOR SALES BETWEEN THE LICENSED DEALERS AND PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS, BUT PRIVATE SALES OF WHICH THEY'RE GREAT MANY IN THE COUNTRY. THE RED FLAG LAWS, AS. WELL SO AARON, WHERE DOES THIS INVESTIGATION GO NOW? WHERE THEY LOOKING? FOR >> I THINK THE EOVALDI INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICE CHIEF, WHO IS THE INCIDENT COMMANDER THAT WRONGLY, THIS IS A BARRICADED SITUATION TO POSE NO MORE THREAT TO CHILDREN HAS A LOT TO ANSWER FOR. AND THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, EVEN STARTED DEFERRED AND SAID YOU ARE WELCOME TO REACH OUT AND CALL HIM. I THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE CALLING. AND WE WILL SEE WHETHER THIS EVEN BECOMES A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION, INTO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE. THERE ARE STILL A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TIMELINE THAT POLICE WILL UNDOUBTEDLY FILL IN. BUT WE HAVE THE PICTURE NOW OF WHY POLICE WAITED SO LONG. IT WAS JUST AN ERROR IN JUDGMENT, AND ONE THAT MAY WELL HAVE COST CHILDREN THEIR LIVES. >> IT IS HARD TO THINK ABOUT. BUT AARON, WHAT IS THE FEDERAL ROLE HERE? >> WELL, THE FBI SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE IN SAN ANTONIO SAID THERE REALLY ISN'T ONE BEYOND A SUPPORT ROLE. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF THE SCENE. BUT BEHIND THE SCENES, WE KNOW THEY HAVE A WORKING WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, TO TRACE THE WEAPONS, TO LOOK AT THE BACKGROUND OF THE SHOOTER. THEY'VE OFFERED TECHNICAL EXPERTISE. WE ARE NOT SURE HOW MUCH TEXAS TAKING THEM UP ON THIS, BUT WE HAVE SEEN THE FEDS BEFORE TAKE ON POLICE DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE ACCUSED OF FEELINGS. AND THEY CAN DO AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHETHER THERE IS A PATTERN, A PRACTICE OF SYSTEMIC FAILURES LIKE THE ONE THAT HOUSE SEEMS TO HAVE OCCURRED HERE. THEY CAN INTERVENE. WE ARE NOT SURE IF CRIMINAL CHARGES WOULD RESULT, OF COURSE. BUT THEY CAN REFORM POLICE DEPARTMENTS SO THAT THEY DON'T MAKE THESE KINDS OF MISTAKES. >> WE HAVE TO OPEN THE FUTURE THAT WE LEARN FROM THIS, AS SHARED WITH. WELCOME BACK. THANK YOU FOR STREAMING WITH US. I AM TERRY MORAN, WE HAVE BEEN COVERING THE DEVELOPING NEWS OUT OF UVALDE, TEXAS WHERE 19 CHILDREN AND TWO TEACHERS WERE GUNNED DOWN BY AN 18 YEAR OLD WITH ASSAULT WEAPONS. AND NOW, THE FACTS OF THAT SITUATION ARE CHANGING. A BRIEFING AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE BY STEVE MCCRAW, HOW DID THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT PUBLIC SAFETY, REVEALS THAT THERE WERE POLICE OFFICERS ON THE SCENE WITHIN MINUTES. FIRST, TWO, THEN FOUR, THEN SEVEN, THEN 19. AND THEY WAITED AND WAITED AND WAITED SPREE. WELL GUNSHOTS WENT OFF IN THE CLASSROOM WHERE THE CHILDREN WERE BARRICADING THEMSELVES. AND AT THE MERCY OF THIS SHOOTER. IT IS A DISTURBING SERIES OF REVELATIONS. WHICH WE HAVE HAD ABOUT THIS. AND IT COMES AS YET ANOTHER TRAVELER IN THE AMERICAS PLAGUE OF GUN VIOLENCE. WHEN IT COMES TO TAKING ACTIONS, MANY KIDS ARE NOT WAITING. THERE ARE STUDENTS AT SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHO HAVE STAGED MASSIVE WALKOUTS PROTESTING GUN VIOLENCE IN POLITICS, AND THEY'RE SEEMING INABILITY TO DO BASICALLY ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE ON THE FRONTLINES. AND IN TOWARDS AMERICA GREAT WITH THIS NEWS. -- THE WASHINGTON POST POLL FOUND THAT 89% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON GUN PURCHASES. THERE ARE NOT UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS RIGHT NOW. 86% SUPPORTED RED FLAG LAWS THAT ALLOW COURTS TO TEMPORARILY CONFISCATE WEAPONS FROM PEOPLE DEEMED TO BE A DANGER TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS. IT IS HARD TO GET 50% OF AMERICANS TO BRING ON SOMETHING. YOU GET THOSE KINDS OF NUMBERS, THEY ARE OVERWHELMING AUTHORITIES. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT TO THESE REFORMS. BUT ON CAPITOL HILL, THERE ARE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE BIPARTISAN SOLUTION TO THIS CRISIS. AS ALWAYS, IT IS UNCLEAR. THOSE EFFORTS WILL GO ANYWHERE AT ALL. CORRESPONDENT RACHEL SCOTT HAS THE LATEST. >> AFTER 30 YEARS OF CONGRESSIONAL INACTION ON GUN CONTROL, REPUBLICAN LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL IS GIVING THE GREENLIGHT ON BIPARTISAN TALKS. ENCOURAGING TEXAS SENATOR JOHN FORMING TO WORK WITH DEMOCRATS TO FIND COMMON GROUND. >> I'M NOT INTERESTED IN THE SAME OLD TIRED TALKING POINTS. I'M ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN WHAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE THE TERRIBLE EVENTS THAT OCCURRED IN UVALDE LESS LIKELY IN THE FUTURE. FOREMAN RETURNING TO WASHINGTON JUST AFTER THE TRAGEDY IN UVALDE. SPEAKING TO DEMOCRATIC SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY, HIS AREA ROCKED BY THE SANDY HOOK MASSACRE. >> WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PARTICLES WE CAN. RUN BACKGROUND CHECKS, RED FLAG LAWS, INCREASED SECURITY. >> THOSE ACTIONS BACKED BY THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS. NEARLY 90% SUPPORT BACKGROUND CHECKS. MANY REPUBLICANS AREN'T BUDGING. >> THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS SUPPORT SOME TYPE OF ACTION WHEN IT COMES TO GUN REFORM. IS YOUR PARTY WRONG ON THIS? ARE YOU WRONG ON THIS? >> WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT'S SOLUTIONS THERE ARE. >> IF THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS SAY THAT BACKGROUND CHECKS. >> I REALIZE -- >> IT IS THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. >> REPUBLICAN SENATOR RICK SCOTT ENDED OUR INTERVIEW. >> YOU WANT TO FINISH, OR AM I GOING TO DO IT? OKAY, I'LL DO IT. >> FROM SKY NEWS IN TEXAS. THE PROPOSALS OF THE DEMOCRATS HAVE, NONE OF THAT WOULD'VE STOPPED THIS. BUT WHY DOES THIS ONLY HAPPEN IN YOUR COUNTRY? >> I REALLY THINK CLINICAL MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, THEY JUST CANNOT FATHOM. WHY ONLY IN AMERICA? WHY IS THIS AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM SO AWFUL? >> YOU KNOW, I SWEAR YOU COMMERCIALISM IS AWFUL. >> I THINK THIS ASPECT OF IT. >> YOU'VE GOT YOUR POLITICAL AGENDA, GOTTA LOVE YOU. >> I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DO NOT THINK THAT GUNS ARE THE PROBLEM. >> BACK IN WASHINGTON, GUN LEGISLATION IS UP IN THE AIR. SENATORS LEFT TOWN FOR RECESS. >> SENATOR, ARE THERE ENOUGH REPUBLICANS TO GET THIS PASSED? >> TERRY, SEVERAL PROTESTS PLANNED OUTSIDE OF THE NRA CONVENTION TODAY. GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT PULLED IT AT THE LAST MINUTE, BUT TEXAS AND THE GREAT TED CRUZ AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE STILL EXPECTED TO SPEAK. NO GUNS WILL BE ALLOWED INSIDE AS TRUMP ADDRESSES THE CONVENTION, AT THE REQUEST OF SECRET SERVICE. >> RACHEL SCOTT, KEEPS ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS FOR US, THANKS SO MUCH. IN LIGHT OF THIS LATEST TRAGEDY IN OUR COUNTRY, WE WANT TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE SURGE IN VIOLENCE. AND AMERICA'S UNIQUE OBSESSION WITH GUNS. TAKE A LOOK. >> ON MAY 20, FOURTH 2022, THE U.S. EXPERIENCED ONE OF ITS DEADLIEST SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. WHEN A GUNMAN WALKED INTO AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN TEXAS AND KILLED AT LEAST 19 CHILDREN, AND TWO TEACHERS. JUST DAYS AFTER A SHOOTER IN YOUR KILLED TEN PEOPLE. ACCORDING TO AUTHORITIES, BOTH SHOOTERS USED AR-15 STYLE RIFLES. GUN VIOLENCE HAS BECOME AN AMERICAN EPIDEMIC. AS OF 2018, IT WAS ESTIMATED THAT THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 400 MILLION CIVILIAN-OWNED GUNS IN AMERICA. THAT MEANS THAT THERE ARE MORE GUNS THAN THERE ARE PEOPLE OR CARS IN THE U.S.. BY COMPARISON, AMERICANS OWN MORE GUNS PER CAPITA THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY, ACCOUNTING FOR ABOUT 40% OF THE WORLD'S TOTAL GUN OWNERSHIP. AND THAT NUMBER IS LIKELY TO INCREASE. SINCE 2008, THERE WAS FIREARM INDUSTRY GROW 32%, MAKING IT A 63.5 MILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY IN 2020. BUT THE REASON FOR THE MISSION OF HER GUN OWNERSHIP ISN'T JUST BECAUSE THE U.S. OWNS THE MOST GUNS. IT IS BECAUSE IT ALSO HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF MASS SHOOTINGS, GUN RELATED HOMICIDES, IN FIREARM SUICIDES AMONG SIMILARLY DEVELOPED NATIONS. >> OUR POLITICS IS JUST NOT BEING INCENTIVIZED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE THINGS THAT WOULD ACTUALLY REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE. >> THIS IS THE JOB OF PUBLIC HEALTH. TO HELP THE MOST VULNERABLE. TO STAND UP FOR THEM. >> HOW DO WE GET HERE? HOW DOES THE RIGHT TO RUN AGAIN BECOME A DIVISIVE AMERICAN IDEAL? AND OF ALL THE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS, WHAT DO EXPERTS SAY CAN EFFECTIVELY REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE IN THE U.S.? AROUND THE 19TH CENTURY, THERE WERE AT LEAST 90 COUNTRIES THAT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS IN THE COST SITUATION. BUT AS THE YEARS PASSED, MOST OF THESE COUNTRIES MADE CHANGES REVOKING OR LIMITING GUN RIGHTS. AS OF 2021, ONLY THREE COUNTRIES STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS AND OUR CONSTITUTION. IN THE UNITED STATES IS ONE OF THEM. >> THE ACTIVISM WAS NOT IN THE CENTER OF REALLY GROWN CULTURE. AND FOR A LONG TIME, MOST PEOPLE IN THE U.S.-OWNED GUNS, BUT IT WAS REALLY FOR -- SHOOTING AND WAS ASSOCIATED WITH MASCULINITY. SO IT WAS KIND OF A RIGHT OF PASSAGE. BUT IT WAS NOT ABOUT RIGHTS AND THE LAW. >> THE IDEA OF GUN CONTROL DID NOT REALLY ENTER THE NATIONAL CONVERSATION UNTIL 1934, FOLLOWING A MASS SHOOTING IN CHICAGO. MOST GUN REGULATION LAWS WERE PASSED WITHOUT MUCH OPPOSITION UNTIL 1968, WHEN PRESIDENT LYNDON B. JOHNSON SIGNED TO THE GUN CONTROL ACT. BUT THIS STARTED TO CHANGE YEARS LATER, WHEN THE NRA BECAME AN ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION CENTERED ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT, BRINGING WITH IT A HUGE INFLUX OF MONEY. >> IT REALLY CHANGED AFTER THE CINCINNATI REVOLT IN A 1977, WHEN THERE WAS A COUP INSIDE OF THE NRA. ACTIVISTS TOOK THE NRA. AND THEN THE EARLY 2000S, IT SWITCHED AGAIN TO BEING A MOSTLY REPUBLICAN GUN LOBBYING ORGANIZATION. >> NOWADAYS, THE NRA SPENDS BETWEEN TWO TO $5 MILLION ANNUALLY LOBBYING FOR GUN RIGHTS. DURING THE 2020 ELECTIONS ALONE, THE ASSOCIATIONS BY $29 MILLION IN POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS. >> DO WE BELIEVE IN FREEDOM AND LIBERTY? AND SO THE RIGHTS TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. >> IN 1983, THIS IS EASTER LOOKING AT GUN VIOLENCE AS A PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM, WHEN THE CRITICALLY VIOLENCE EPIDEMIOLOGY BRANCH. >> THE NRA LOOKED AT THIS AND THEY SAID, IF YOU DO THIS RESEARCH, IT IS GOING TO END UP IN EVERYONE LOSING THEIR GUNS. IT IS EITHER THE RESEARCH OR YOUR GUNS, YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH. YOU'VE GOT TO DECIDE. THIS WAS MISINFORMATION. BUT IT WAS A POWERFUL STRATEGY FOR THE NRA. >> EVENTUALLY, CONGRESS DEFERRED FUNDING FOR -- PASSING THE DICKIE AMENDMENT, WHICH PREVENTED THE CDC FROM USING FEDERAL FUNDING TO ADVOCATE OR SUPPORT GUN CONTROL. AFTER THE -- CDC SPENT SEVERAL YEARS WITH SIGNIFICANT RESEARCH ON GUN VIOLENCE. >> IT WAS A SHOT ACROSS THE BOW. THAT HAD IMPACTS PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE FIELD OF DATA COLLECTION. IF YOU ARE GETTING YOUR DATA COLLECTION DONE BY A PRIVATE FOUNDATION OR SOME OTHER SOURCE, YOU DON'T HAVE WHAT RESEARCHERS HAVE DESCRIBED TO ME IS THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT BEHIND IT. THAT MAKES IT EASIER. IF YOU HAVE THAT FULL FAITH AND CREDIT. TO GET AGENCIES AND GET STATES ON BOARD AND GET THAT DATA COLLECTED. >> THE NEED FOR RESEARCH WAS FINALLY RECOGNIZED SHORTLY AFTER THE MASS SCHOOL SHOOTING IN PARKLAND FLORIDA THAT LEFT 70 DEAD IN 2018. A CLARIFICATION WAS MADE TO THE DICKEY AMENDMENT, ALLOWING THE CDC TO CONDUCT RESEARCH ON THE CAUSES OF DOWN GUN VIOLENCE. >> THIS RESEARCH IS GOING TO FIND THOSE WAYS THAT WE CAN KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF PEOPLE WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE THEM. WITHOUT INFRINGING ON THE RIGHTS OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SHOULD. >> BUT IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE COULD POTENTIALLY REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE, LET'S FIRST STEP INTO THE NUMBERS AROUND IT. EACH YEAR, APPROXIMATELY 40,000 PEOPLE DIE IN AMERICA FROM FIREARM INJURIES. THE U.S. SAW THE PEAK OF GARNISHMENT 1993, WITH AN ESTIMATED 51% OF HOUSEHOLDS OWNING A GUN. THAT'S A MIRROR, GUN HOMICIDES ALSO REACHED THEIR PEAK. >> WHEN ALL YOU HAVE IS A HAMMER, EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE A NAIL. WHEN YOU HAVE EASY ACCESS TO GUNS AND YOU HAVE LOTS OF GUNS AVAILABLE TO YOU, THEY MORE PROBLEMS LIKELY PROBLEMS THAT CAN GET SOLVED WITH THEM. >> THEY ARE VERY MUCH IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN THE NUMBER OF GUNS IN A PLACE, AND THE NUMBER OF GUN DEATHS IN A PLACE. THAT IS SOMETHING YOU CAN SEE CONSISTENTLY ACROSS THE WORLD, YEAR AFTER YEAR. THE PLACES THAT HAVE MORE GUNS HAVE MORE GUN DEATHS. >> IF YOU LOOK AT JUST THE INJURIES AND DEATHS, YOU ARE MISSING A VERY BIG PART OF THE PROBLEM FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL LIFE THAT IS DESTROYED, THERE IS A FAMILY THAT IS DESTROYED. THERE IS A COMMUNITY THAT IS SHATTERED. THE CONSTANT ANXIETY, FEAR AND WORRY, IS TREMENDOUS. >> AND WHILE MOST GUN HONORS SITE SAFETY AND PROTECTION IS THE REASON FOR RUNNING A FIREARM, RESEARCH SHOWS THAT HAVING A GUN IN YOUR HOME DOES NOT NECESSARILY KEEP YOU SAFER. >> WHAT WE FOUND WAS THAT NOT ONLY JUST HAVING A GUN IN YOUR HOME NOT MAKE YOU SAFER, BUT IT INCREASES THE RISK THAT SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY WILL BE KILLED BY A GUN. WE WILL BE A VICTIM OF GUN HOMICIDES. AND IT INCREASES A HUGELY. NOT BY TEN, 15, 20, 25%. NOT BY 100 PERCENT. BY 200%. THE IDEA THAT SOMEBODY IN YOUR FAMILY WILL BE SHOT AND KILLED BY A GUN, THE RATE OF THAT, TRIPLES. AND THE RATES THAT SOMEBODY WILL COMMIT SUICIDE WITH A GUN GOES UP 400%. IT IS A MULTIPLIED FIVEFOLD. >> AND SUICIDES MAKE UP THE LARGEST PORTION OF A FIREARM DEATHS. >> TWO THIRDS OF ALL GUN DEATHS IN AMERICA ARE SUICIDES. AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE KILLING THEMSELVES WITH GUNS IN THE U.S. ARE OLDER WHITE MAN. WHO ARE GUN OWNERS. THEN, YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE THIRD THAT ARE HOMICIDES. WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE HOMICIDES, YOU ARE PREDOMINANTLY TALKING ABOUT YOUNGER BLACK MAN. AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT WOMAN, WHO ARE BEING KILLED IN HOMICIDES, YOU ARE PREDOMINANTLY TALKING ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. >> WHEN WE SHIFT TO MASS SHOOTINGS, THEY ONLY ACCOUNT FOR A SMALL PERCENT OF GUN DEATHS EACH YEAR. THEY'VE ALSO BECOME MORE COMMON AND MORE DEADLY IN RECENT YEARS. >> THE POLITICS OF GUN VIOLENCE HAS, OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DECADES, REALLY CENTERED AROUND THINGS LIKE MASS SHOOTINGS. TERRORISM. ACCIDENTAL GUN DEATHS IN SMALL CHILDREN. BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY GO AND LOOK AT THE DATA, AGAIN, WHAT YOU FIND IS THAT THOSE ARE NOT MAKING UP THE MAJORITY OF GUN VIOLENCE DEATHS. THEY ARE NOT EVEN MAKING UP A SIGNIFICANT MINORITY. >> ABC NEWS COMBINE FORCES WITH THE ARCHIVE TO DOCUMENT A WEEK'S WORTH OF GUN VIOLENCE, AND FOUND THAT IN A SINGLE WEEK IN JULY 2021, THERE WERE MORE THAN 1000 INCIDENTS OF GUN VIOLENCE ACROSS 47 STATES. THAT IS ABOUT ONE EVERY TEN MINUTES. AND IN THOSE INCIDENTS, MORE THAN 400 PEOPLE WERE KILLED. DESPITE THE GAP IN FEDERAL RESEARCH, LIMITED DATA SHOWS IMPLEMENTATION OF CERTAIN GUN REGULATIONS AND LAWS HAVE BEEN EFFECTIVE AT THE STATE LEVEL. FOR EXAMPLE, AND IN THE END OF THE RED FLAG LAW HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH A 7.5% REDUCTION IN FIREARMS SUICIDES, A DECADE AFTER IT WAS IMPLEMENTED. OTHER METHODS LIKE PERMIT LAWS OR CEASE-FIRE PROGRAMS HAVE HAD SOME SUCCESS IN INDIVIDUAL CITIES. BUT THE RESEARCH IS MIXED. ONE STUDY FOUND THAT STATES CAN REDUCE HOMICIDE RATES JUST BY IMPLEMENTING THREE LAWS. >> UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE LAWS TO PREVENT ANYBODY WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD FROM HAVING A WEAPON. LAWS GIVE DISCRETION TO THE POLICE TO ACTUALLY REFUSE TO ISSUE THE CONSULATE CARRY PERMITS. THESE LAWS BASICALLY PREVENT SOMEONE FROM BEING CONVICTED OF INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE FROM BUYING A GUN. WE SAW THE COMBINATION OF ALL THREE ARE ON LAWS TO REDUCE FIREARMS DEATHS BY 20%. IN 2019, THAT MEANS THAT 4200 PEOPLE WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED. >> BUT NONE OF THESE METHODS ON THEIR OWN ARE PERFECT. AS SOME LOCATIONS LOOSEN THEIR -- OWN GUN RESTRICTIONS -- >> HAVING MORE CONSISTENT DATA AND MORE LONG TERM SETS OF DATA, THOSE THINGS REALLY CAN HELP US FIND SOLUTIONS. >> MOST INDIVIDUALS ACTUALLY SUPPORT GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION LAWS. OVER 90% SUPPORT UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS. THEY OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT VIOLENCE AGAINST -- LAWS. AND WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WITH OTHERS TO. THEY ARE INFLUENCED BY HEARING THE VOCAL MINORITY OF GOOD SUPPORTERS ALL THE TIME. >> WE CAN FIND WAYS TO KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF PEOPLE WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE THEM, WITHOUT INFRINGING ON THE RIGHTS OF LAW-ABIDING GUN OWNERS. AND THAT GIVES US SO MANY WAYS FORWARD, IF WE WORK ON IT TOGETHER. IF WE USE THE SILENCE. AND IF WE FOCUS ON PREVENTION. THIS IS A PROBLEM WE CAN SOLVE. >> A PROBLEM WE CAN SOLVE. BUT WE JUST HEARD IS THAT THERE IS A SENSE OF FUTILITY AND FRUSTRATION THAT SO MANY PEOPLE WELCOME BACK. LET'S GET YOU SOME OF THE OTHER TOP NEWS OF THE DAY. AT LEAST NINE POSITIVE CASES OF MONKEYPOX IN SEVEN STATES ACROSS THE U.S. NOW. INCLUDING ONE IN VIRGINIA. CDC DIRECTOR, DR. ROCHELLE ZELENSKYY SAYS ON NOT ALL INFECTED PATIENTS TRAVELED ABROAD, MEANING THERE MAY BE SOME COMMUNITIES SPREAD HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY THIS IS NOT A GREAT RISK TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, BUT ALL POSSIBLE CASES SHOULD BE REPORTED TO A DOCTOR, QUICKLY. IN THE MEANTIME, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT WILL NOT PURSUE CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST FORMER FBI AGENTS WHO FAILED TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION INTO SPORTS DOCTOR LARRY NASSAR. FOR SEXUALLY ASSAULTING FAIR MILL GYMNAST, DESPITE FINDING THAT THESE FORMER ASIANS LIKELY PROVIDED QUOTE, INACCURATE OR INCOMPLETE INFORMATION. IN A STATEMENT, THE DOJ SAID THIS DOES NOT IN ANY WAY REFLECTIVE EITHER THE INVESTIGATION OF NASA WAS HANDLED AS IT SHOULD'VE BEEN. NORTH ANYWAY REFLECTS APPROVAL OR DISREGARD OF THE CONDUCT OF THE FORMER AGENTS. NASSAR'S CURRENTLY FOR RICH SERVING TEN YEARS IN PRISON AFTER BEING FOUND GUILTY IN 2018 THAT ASSAULTING MORE THAN 20, 250 PEOPLE.
