Investigators are digging through every dimension the Las Vegas shooter's life; The hurricane is speeding toward the gulf coast of the United States
CABRERA: The Vice President Mike Pence is in Las Vegas today. He is honoring the victims of Sunday night mass shooting. And he spoke just moments ago. I want to play just a little bit of what he said.</s>PENCE: In America, we mourn with those who mourn. We grieve with those who grieve. And I stand before you today on behalf of my family --</s>CABRERA: Looks like unfortunately. Meanwhile, let's talk about the investigation as these investigators are digging through every dimension of the Las Vegas shooters' life. They are looking for anything that might explain why he opened fire on that crowd of 22,000 people killing 58, injuring hundreds. Stephanie Elam is live in Las Vegas following every new lead in this investigation. Stephanie, what evidence are police focusing on right now? And are they any closer to finding a motive?</s>STEPHANIE ELAM, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Frustratingly, Ana, no, they are not. And you can hear the frustration as the sheriff was talking about this exact issue. Normally within the few days after something like this, authorities are able to pinpoint what the motive would have been. And that is just not the case here with this 64-year-old who they do know have been amassing weapons over several decades. But they are saying they are combing through his life, his entire footprints and social footprints from birth to when he died to see if they can figure out why he would want to do this. What we did learn though is that there is some sort of note that was found in his room with numbers on it that they are trying to figure out what does that mean, what those numbers could potentially mean. We also know that his car was found with 1600 rounds of ammunition and 50 pounds of Tenerife, something that if it had been fired on could have exploded and could have seen another mass casualty event had that happen. Luckily, that was not the case when his car was located. So all of this little details leading investigators, leading authorities to believe, Ana, that perhaps this individual thought he might be able to survive what he was doing in his hotel room and make it out to his car, Ana.</s>CABRERA: I understand. You also have new details about that security guard who went up to the shooter's room apparently interrupted the attack. Why was he actually there, we are learning?</s>ELAM: Right, his name, this man who really is a hero here, is Jesus Campos. And he worked for the hotel. He went up there because they have received an open door alarm, not to the shooter's room but several doors down the hall. That is something that they get an alert through throughout the hotel. He was going up there to check up on that. But at the same time, the shooter saw on his camera that he had set up outside of the hotel room that this security officer was arriving, he shot through the door, shooting Campos in the leg. And what authorities believe based on their time line that the shooter did not actually shoot back out into the crowd after that encounter with Campos. So if you think about what that means, the chance of this alarm down the hall went off, the chance that Campos came up when he did may have saved so many other lives. It was also key for him to be able to pinpoint exactly where in this massive hotel behind me he was in that building so authorities were able to respond to so quickly.</s>CABRERA: Stephanie Elam in Las Vegas, thanks you. I want to bring in someone who has led FBI investigation like the one going on right now. With me here in New York is CNN law enforcement analyst James Gagliano. He is a retired FBI supervisory special agent. So James, it is hard to imagine that this guy could have a mass more than 40 guns and more than 50 pounds of explosive materials and nobody had an inkling of his plan.</s>JAMES GAGLIANO, CNN LAW ENFORCEMENT ANALYST: And in the last year alone, since last October, 33 of the 47 weapons were purchased. And unfortunately, we do not have any registry when it comes to long weapons. And it didn't seems to be in anybody's radar. He also scattered out where he purchased it from across four states and a number of gun stores. What's perplexing now are some of the things we are finding the aftermath of this horrific massacre such as the note which was left in the hotel room.</s>CABRERA: With just numbers on it.</s>GAGLIANO: Just numbers.</s>CABRERA: We know this guy was into numbers.</s>GAGLIANO: Yes, yes. Maybe it is</s>CABRERA: If these details that are trickling out, do we have some significance, what stands out the most to you?</s>GAGLIANO: You know, I guess what stands out most to me right now is every lead that they get and I think the investigators and the sheriff has mentioned that there were thousands leads. Every one of those leads is going to spite a web into additional</s>CABRERA: Twenty cruises we have learned.</s>GAGLIANO: Absolutely. The FBI has 65 legal attaches in embassies around the world. Those folks right now are inundated with leads. And in the forensic piece, I mean, the cars being comb through right now. And then as you talked before about the motive, the fact that we haven't found a motive yet. This is what is frustrating because typically these things with these mass shooters, going back as far as 1966 in the University of Texas</s>CABRERA: And it goes back to then what can you do and we here that now there is at least seems to be a unified call for these so-called bomb stalk to be remove. Are you surprise that there is this device that is legal that can essentially be attach to a gun and can simulate with an automatic weapon.</s>GAGLIANO: And it was with the gun lab, he will say is there are other ways that you can make somehow automatic weapon automatic or act automatic without that device. But here is the thing. Law enforcement in the military and I am a vet and I am former law enforcement. It is not a monolithic group. But we genuinely hue to the conservative side. We are fierce proponents of the second amendment. It has been around since 1791. It has utility. It is insanity that this device was add an aftermarket device, a gimmick, a work around, a circumvention of the law. I am going to put my hat on as a professor. I'm a St. John's professor and I teach American military history. Think about this, Ana, in ten minutes, this subject was able to kill 58 people and wound 500. That is roughly the equivalent of an American military battalion in the bloodiest battles in Iraq, in Iraq conflict in 2004. Spend November and December of 2004, the battle of Volusia, 82 men killed, 600 wounded. Let that sink in just for a second that in ten minutes, this man was able to kill in men, almost the equivalent of the casualty loss in the battle of Volusia.</s>CABRERA: It was like a war felt literally.</s>GAGLIANO: Absolutely.</s>CABRERA: James Gagliano, thank you for your ongoing expertise in helping us to try to make sense of this horrific situation. Let's talk more about the gun debate and the potential ban on bump stocks. Legal accessories for these semiautomatic rifles which the Las Vegas gunman used. They allowed the shooter to fire bullets so rapidly at a gun show that was scheduled for this weekend in Las Vegas was cancelled of light of last week's killing. But about seven hours drive, northwest of Vegas, a gun show in Reno, Nevada is going on as planned. And CNN's Dan Simon is there. He is joining us from the cross roads gun show. Dan, what are you hearing from attendees there in the wake of what happened in Vegas?</s>DAN SIMON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Ana, first of all, there are some people in Reno who thought that this gun show should have been cancelled as well saying that the optics just are not looking good. But it is happening. A few thousand people are expected to attend over the weekend. And the one question we wanted to ask gun dealers is how they about bump stocks. Should regulations be put in place? Should bump stocks be banned? What we found is the majority of them say no, there were a couple of people who took the opposite position. You will hear both positions represented. Let's take a look.</s>SIMON: Do you think bump stocks should be banned?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, absolutely not. What should be banned is bad people.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It takes four or six minutes to put on and this is the way it works.</s>SIMON: If people that want them, they should be able to have it.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Absolutely. It is America. You need to get rid of the bad people. There is nothing wrong with any. Even the common people should have fully autos. You got to take these laws and make people responsible for their actions.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I think that is kind of ridiculous to have those things. If you are a military police, that's one thing. But why it is public really need that with the technology of weapons and semi autos as fast as you can pull the trigger. What more do you need?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don't think they should be banned. I think that they have a legitimate recreational use for people. The weapon and the person behind the weapon are, you know, really more of the issue.</s>SIMON: Let me stop you right there, though. Why would anyone need to have that?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's like a lot of things, right? I mean, there is a lot of things that we don't haves to have a reason to own.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Get your heads down right now.</s>SIMON: When you have a mass shooting like this, what happens to business?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It increases greatly. As soon as Democrats start talking about gun bans, that is when business increase.</s>KERRY PHILLIPS, GUN DEALER: We the people have the right to protect ourselves and our family even in to the shedding of blood.</s>SIMON: And Ana, we are hearing that bump stock sales are essentially going through the roof since folks started talking about regulations. We should point out that just this weekend alone, there are approximately 50 gun shows taken place across the country. That is pretty typical for a weekend in the United States as far as gun shows are concerned. And I would imagine that similar conversations are taken place off of these events -- Ana.</s>CABRERA: Dan Simon in Reno, Nevada, thank you for that. Here we go again. At the peak of the hurricane season, all eyes are now on Nate. A dangerous storm taking aim at the gulf coast. The timing of when it will make land fall and how powerful it maybe and the kind of damage it could inflict, next. You are live in the CNN NEWSROOM.</s>CABRERA: Breaking news on CNN. The hurricane is speeding toward the gulf coast of the United States. When I say speeding, because this storm is moving very fast. That's hurricane go and will make landfall tonight. The outer band in fact of this storm are already being felt in Louisiana. And most models took the storm hitting somewhere southeast of New Orleans which means people who are choosing to stay on Mississippi and Alabama coastline will feel the brunt of hurricane Nate. We will keep you updated with the very latest right here in the CNN NEWSROOM. Let's turn to the immigration debate now. And this week was the deadline for DACA recipients to re-apply for that temporary legal status. Meantime, sources tell CNN demands by top White House policy adviser Steven Miller threatened to derail congressional efforts to replace DACA. The goal is to protect young, undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children from deportation. Now, among other things, Miller and the White House are reportedly asking to make it more difficult for legal residents of the U.S. to bring in family members from their countries of origins. President Trump's repeal of the DACA program is also impacting many undocumented immigrants who had started businesses in this country. Now they might have to leave them behind. Vanessa Yurkevich talk to entrepreneurs about how all of this uncertainty is affecting them.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We are not taking jobs. We are just competing for it.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You can have my job if you could do it.</s>VANESSA YURKEVICH, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Mustafa Gonim and Daniella Velez, there in the U.S. through no fault of their own.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Our backgrounds set us up to kind of have the fight within us.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The business needs me to help those bring growth, to help it bring diversity.</s>YURKEVICH: Brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We want to be able to pour back into our families, pour back into our communities.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: If you cannot do my job, then what job am I filling from?</s>YURKEVICH: Now, as the fate of DACA hangs in the balance, their futures do, too.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I was about 9-year-old and my parents decided to come to America and we get on the plane. And all I remember was me saying thank you to the hostess. That's all I know. We came to this apartment and I remember my mother was like we are not going back.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I was born in Egypt. And we migrated states when I was seven years old. And we came here really and pursue the American dream.</s>YURKEVICH: Research says more than five percent of DACA recipients have started their own businesses. That is almost doubles the overall U.S. rate.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Today's event is for Sophia Vergara.</s>YURKEVICH: Mustafa started an event staffing company a little over a year ago that employs nearly 30 people. What do you say to the people who say that you as someone here with DACA are taking American's jobs?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I grew up playing baseball. And baseball for whatever you wanted, you were given the shot to earn whatever you won. The best man wins. So it is not that we are taking any jobs, we are competing. And we are creating jobs in the process. Daniel works a 9:00 to 5:00 and has started her own business on the side. It is called innovated lab design. Unless students who cannot make it to classes at school, take it online.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Students will but the kit and take physics lab at home.</s>YURKEVICH: We don't know if Danielle is going to be here in two years. What would it mean if she had to one day leave?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: if you look around the country and other two years course or four years course, they are not doing this probably because they don't have a Danielle.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The relationship with my father is very special to me. One day he had a massive heart attack and passed away.</s>YURKEVICH: Do you think of a lot of why you are pursuing the American dreams is for him?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. And my mom. I guess through this business, I was influence high her your can say. I guess that I do things for me. It not so much for myself. My thing is being able to accomplish something and bring it back for my family and bring it back for my community.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Part of me says yes, I want to stay here. But then another part of me is like how can we go back to live in the shadows where we had a taste of what it is to be in the light?</s>CABRERA: Vanessa is joining us now. Thank you for bringing ups the story. That was so enlightening. And right now, their future really is just up in the air if they would be allow to stay in this country. Are they making backup plans if Congress does not act in the next five months when DACA expires?</s>YURKEVICH: Right. Well the thing with dreamers is that they really had to make backup plans with their entire lives. They were brought here by their parents. And they don't necessarily want to go back to where they came from because the reason they were brought here is because most of the times they are claiming some un-resting their country and political strikes. So they are not making plans to go back but they are making plans to go to other country. Daniella, for example, is looking to Europe. She has some family there. One gentleman I did speak to, he is from Mexico. And he has moved all his bank accounts into Mexican banks. Because like you said, the uncertainty of what is going to happen in the next five months is just so, we don't know. And so if you want to have a safety net to fall back on, if that time comes where he had to leave the country.</s>CABRERA: And it goes show they are thinking ahead. These are people who are responsible, for a lack of a better word on my part. I am curious of what happens this week because there was deadlines, October 5th for those who are eligible or who fall within that window of their DACA status expiring before March 5th. They had to apply or re-apply for those status by last Thursday of October 5th, about a quarter of them did not. A quarter who were eligible? Do we know why?</s>CABRERA: Well, there some reasoning behind that. Those were the numbers that we were given by U.S. immigration services on Thursday just before that deadline, 36,000 people not applying. There is a couple of reasons. One maybe that they just did not know. It was not highly publicized that this renewal date was in fact on October 5th. Now, the reason maybe that people just, they don't want to stay anymore. They don't want to deal with the stress uncertainly of what it would mean to apply for DACA again and then have to leave. And the third reason is the application fees. It is 500s dollars.</s>CABRERA: A lot of money.</s>YURKEVICH: Some people may not have been able to get that money together in time because that deadline of October 5th, was - just sent into place a month ago in September. That's a lot of money. That deadline is set into place a month ago in September. That's a really tight window for people to try to raise this money.</s>CABRERA: Vanessa Yurkevich, thank you so much for that story and for that report.</s>YURKEVICH: Thank you.</s>CABRERA: Good to see you. Coming up, President Trump tweeting yet another cryptic warning. And this time is about North Korea. Stay with us. You are live in the CNN's NEWSROOM.
