ARTHEL: AGAIN, THIS IS
HAPPENING, A SHOOTING TAKING
PLACE 20 MILES NORTH OF SAN
DIEGO AT THE CHABAD SYNAGOGUE
HAPPENING THIS MORNING AT
11:30 A.M. THEIR LOCAL TIME,
PACIFIC TIME.
TED, HOW MUCH TIME DO
AUTHORITIES, FIRST RESPONDERS
HAVE IN QUESTIONING THIS MAN
THAT THEY HAVE IN CUSTODY WHO
MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED TO
THIS SHOOTING?
HOW MUCH TIME DO THEY HAVE TO
GET AS MUCH INFORMATION OUT OF
HIM BEFORE AN ATTORNEY SHOWS UP?
>> WELL, AS MUCH TIME AS --
DURING THE INVESTIGATION, THEY
CAN QUESTION HIM IN THIS STAGE,
QUITE NATURALLY, WHEN HE
ACTUALLY BECOMES A DIRECT
SUSPECT, AT THAT STAGE HIS
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS MAY KICK
IN AND THEY WILL CERTAINLY
ADVISE HIM OF HIS RIGHTS AND
THEY WILL ALSO ADVISE HIM THAT
HE HAS THE RIGHT TO REMAIN
SILENT, THAT HE DOES NOT HAVE TO
SAY ANYTHING.
BUT YOU FIND, AND I FOUND SORT
OF LIKE EVEN AT THE TREE OF LIFE
IN PITTSBURGH, THAT THESE PEOPLE
WHO CARE ARE OUT THESE SHOOTINGS
LIKE THIS, THEY ALWAYS-NOT
ALWAYS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART
THEY WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.
AND SO WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO
IS TO TRY TO DETERMINE, AGAIN,
IF THIS PERSON IS ACTING A
ALONE, WHO HE IS, WHAT WAS HIS
MOTIVE, THEY WANT TO TRY TO FIND
OUT WHERE HE LIVES.
THEY WANT TO TRY TO IMMEDIATELY
MOVE IN THOSE DIRECTIONS TO TRY
TO FIND OUT AS MUCH AS THEY CAN.
THEY ARE PUTTING TOGETHER WHAT I
DEFINE AS A FOOTPRINT.
AND THAT FOOTPRINT IS WHERE
THEY'RE GOING BACKWARD, FROM THE
TIME OF THE SHOOTING, TO TRY TO
FIND OUT WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE,
WHAT WAS THE PERSON'S
INVOLVEMENT, WERE OTHERS
INVOLVED, IS THIS -- AGAIN, I
DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS -- SAY
TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS, BUT IS THIS
A TERRORIST ACT OR IS THIS
SOMETHING PERSONAL.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE TRYING
TO BE DEVELOPED AT THIS STAGE.
ERIC: IF IT WAS PERSONAL,
POTENTIALLY ONE WOULD THINK IT
COULD BE ONE VICTIM, THAT IF
IT'S A DOMESTIC SITUATION, THE
PERSON WOULD BE GOING AFTER ONE
PERSON, NOT FOUR.
THERE ARE REPORTS, LOCAL MEDIA
IN SAN DIEGO, THAT MULTIPLE
PEOPLE SHOT, FOUR TRANSPORTED TO
THE HOSPITALS.
DOES THAT THEN GIVE YOU ANY
INDICATION IN THAT WAY THAT IT
MAY NOT BE A DOMESTIC AND --
SADLY, TRAGICALLY IN THIS
COUNTRY HAVE GROWN TO EXPECT AND
HAVE SUFFERED SO MANY TIMES, TOO
MANY MASS SHOOTINGS.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT, ERIC.
I'VE BEEN ON WITH BOTH OF YOU
ALL AND WE'VE COVERED NUMEROUS
SHOOTINGS THAT WERE NOT PERSONAL
AND THAT PEOPLE WERE JUST SOFT
TARGETS AND TARGETED.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW -- IT'S TOO
EARLY FOR US TO SAY EITHER WAY,
BECAUSE A LONE GUNMAN CAN GO
INTO A PLACE LIKE THIS AND HAVE
ONE TARGET IN MIND AND EVEN
SHOOTING AT THAT ONE TARGET,
OTHER PEOPLE CAN VERY WELL BE
INJURED.
SO IT'S A LITTLE EARLY FOR US TO
SAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
BUT IT IS CONCERNING TO ME,
BASED UPON WHAT YOU AND I AND
ARTHEL HAVE GONE THROUGH OVER
THE YEARS IN COVERING THESE
SHOOTINGS, THAT THERE MAY VERY
WELL BE A SOFT TARGET AND
SOMEONE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A SOFT
TARGET AND I SAY THAT SIMPLY TO
SAY BECAUSE WE'RE DEALING HERE
WITH A SYNAGOGUE WHERE THERE ARE
MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS THERE AND
AS WE KNOW THEY WERE DEALING
WITH PASSOVER AT THE TIME.
SO ALL OF THIS IS VERY
CONCERNING AS TO WHAT ARE
CONCERNING AS TO WHAT TRE
CONCERNING AS TO WHAT THE MOTIVE
WAS.
I WOULD HAVE TO BELIEVE, GUYS,
THAT VERY SOON HERE THERE'S GOT
TO BE A PRESS CONFERENCE.
I THINK THAT THE LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS AS WELL AS PUBLIC
OFFICIALS THERE KNOW THAT THE
COMMUNITY IN AND OF ITSELF IS IN
A HEIGHTENED STATE OF ALERT.
SO THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE SOME KIND
