we know this is texas. texas has very forgiving gun purchase rights. people out there own weapons and are proud to do so. have not been able to establish yet whether it was determined to be an automatic weapon. i think we should be very careful. we learned obviously late after two days or so that it was the bump stock in las vegas. whether or not this was just a lot of rounds which people on scene could have confused for automatic weapon fire or simply somebody with a semi-automatic rifle. >> we don't know if there was more than one weapon. >> we don't. what makes this so tragic is the fact that inside a church people, similar to what happened in vegas where people were watching the country concert or something here where you have four walls and somebody armed with weaponry that they are able to take lots of lives in short order and people can't get out and get away from the fire quickly enough. >> we know the attacker apparently did leave the church because there was some kind of a chase. hoping to learn more details about the that chase. what do you

it's an awful day for texas. an awful day. >> a very awful day. and clarence cox, based on what jim was saying, in addition to this new information that we got in within the last hour or two regarding his military background, what do you take away about who devin patrick kelley is? >> well, certainly. i have the same sentiments that jim has and with the prospective that jay lay down with, you know, people from 5 to 72 being slaughtered, basically, by a former military veteran, i'm concerned with that but then you've got to think that we've got to find a way in america to determine how to connect mental health and gun control a lot better than what we are doing. you know, it's obviously had some problems early on in his life and somehow that slipped through the cracks. >> somehow slipped through the cracks and he received a bad conduct discharged, confined for 12 months and court-martialed. when we look at these sorts of pieces of information, do we understand potentially what -- and i think clarence, you're alluding to this here, what his emotiona

we're following a shooting happening in sutherland springs, texas, 40 miles east of san antonio, texas. a horrific shooting at a church. we are hearing reports of multiple fatalities, including the shooter, who was killed after a chase by police. witnesses describing seeing a man walking into the church at 11:30 a.m. local time and opening fire on the congregants in that church. we're also hearing reports that children are among the victims. an incredibly tragic day. i want to bring in my colleague, who has been covering this the last hour or so back into the conversation. you know, you hear about this happening in a community like this, at a church. and we've been covering this, which is awful to say. but you and i having been in this business for a while, you cover this. and then you hear about kids. >> yeah. and -- >> and it completely -- exactly. >> this is what we're hearing from one of the eye-witnesses, working at a gas station nearby. says it's the kind of community where everyone knows everyone's name. people don't lock doors of their houses. she knew people who attended that

>>> tonight, we're on the scene of the deadly church shooting right here in texas. the chilling details just now emerging. authorities reviewing video from inside the church, saying the gunman, quote, came there to kill everybody in their building, period. 26 people dead. the victims, from just 18 months old to 77 years old. eight members of one family among the dead. authorities revealing the gunman had several webs, including and assault rifle. the fbi tonight with a possible motive, threatening text messages to a family member. the phone call to his father while trying to escape. and his discharge from the military, his violent past. >>> also tonight, the heroes who jumped in to help. our interview with johnnie langendorff, who was driving the pickup truck chasing the suspect down the road. tonight, the fbi has just given him his phone back, and he spokes us the video of that final encounter with the suspect. >>> president trump tonight weighing in from overseas, calling the killer, quote, deranged. and insisting this isn't a guns situation. >>> also tonight, sen

we are, of course, in texas, place with fairly relaxed gun laws. a lot of people said to me, don't take our guns away. they don't believe that is the answer. of course, that is one side of the gun debate, people saying more guns save lives. on the other side, many say their need to be fewer guns so people don't have the ability to carry out attacks like the one that happened behind me. laura: rajini vaidyanathan there . every time ago i spoke with a -- of brief time ago i spoke with a former fbi official. the police in texas are saying tonight that a domestic situation within the gunman's family may have motivated these killings. where do you expect the investigation to go from here? >> i think is these progress we have gone from the terror issue to the motive. in this case, the motive is seemingly the domestic piece of that. in the investigation, you have a dead individual now. the shooter was killed, so there won't be a trial or evidence, but right now trying to find the motive, find the reasons, they will do what they can to look at his computer

a tragedy in texas. a young gunman opens fire inside a baptist church. >> there was bodies on top of bodies. they were having to move the bodies to see if anybody underneath was alive or breathing or anything. >> victims ranging from age 5 to 72. a tight-knit community grappling with unspeakable evil. >> i just think i'm going to wake up and it's going to be gone. >> i'm stephanie ruhle. with me this morning, my partner, ali velshi in sutherland springs, texas, ali. >> stephanie, the scene of the worst mass shooting in the history of this state. it unfolded less than 24 hours ago. federal investigators are now here on the scene in sutherland springs searching for evidence and a motive after a gunman identified as 26-year-old devin k kelley walked into the first baptist church just over my shoulder here in sutherland springs and opened fire with an assault rifle. the sheriff said kelly's former in-laws had attended the church, the first evidence of a connection between the gunman and his target. now, we k

the aemt prevents -- 26 states, not texas, it's very difficult to enforce. how central will social media be in h the background of this shooter because in the wake of texas there was almost no social media or footprint of stephen paddock. >> in each ef those case, each one of these perpetrators, the way in which they carried out their act, their prior history, their leaving a message or social media information, a footprint behind is going to be very different for each one of them. but, in this particular case, because social media is so much a part of our lives every day, they will continue to investigate and look into his social media history to determine if there ais anything to give indication up to this act. we always have to be careful to judge each one of these cases individually because it can sometimes be very perplexing to us when we're trying to put it altogether within a matter of a short period of time. >> but it would be so helpful if we could study these really with a critical eye toward public health and yes, each is different, but there must
