children. >> doctor, why, of course, a question a lot of us have as adults. but there's no clear answer. how do you begin explaining that to a child? >> i think the best way is to say that this man was truly crazy. and unfortunately, he had access to weapons. that combination is incredibly dangerous. so we may not know why because he himself is not in his right minds. >> thank you very much. we'll have more at 7:00 on my facebook page. the coverage of the tragedy continues. coming up, a special edition of the "today" show. savannah guthrie will be live from las vegas with more stories of heartbreak and heroism. and tom costello is tracing the shooter's arsenal. and today women's rights is bringing a strong voice to
