COOPER: Facebook investigating whether an event with more than 2,600 responses to linked to the violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Two killed one injured. Following this for us. What are you learning about this?</s>DONIE O'SULLIVAN, CNN REPORTER: Anderson, right. The company is investigating online activity around last night's violence in Kenosha. They say they shut down a Facebook group called Kenosha Guard, and the group was promoting a Facebook event due to take place last night -- Citizens to Protect Our Lives and Property. Now, the event got some traction on Facebook as you mentioned. About 2,600 people responded to the event. And at least one right-wing conspiracy Web site also wrote about the event yesterday. Facebook says that it has taken down both the page for Kenosha Guard and the event for breaking its policies on militias. But, of course, we can see that they seemed to catch this page and this event pretty late. It is unclear. We do not know right now -- and it's important to say -- if the violence was actually linked to this Facebook event. But, again, Anderson, it's another example of Facebook here being behind the curve on what is happening out on the streets and its potential role that the company could be playing in stoking violence in the</s>U.S. COOPER: Interesting. I was just reading a local media report about this group, or groups of residents who decided to arm and go down, and what they were saying, protect property. Again, unclear if the person who shot the two people, wounded the other, is one of those people, but it remains to be seen.</s>COOPER: Donie O'Sullivan, appreciate it. Thanks very much. The president moments ago announcing he is sending in the feds and the National Guard to Kenosha tonight. We're expecting to hear from police very soon. Plus, we're expecting a new update on Hurricane Laura at any moment. The storm forecasted to be a category 4 and hitting the U.S. tonight.
