Transcripts For FOXNEWSW On The Record With Greta Van Susteren 20160718

He turned 29 years old today. Hes from kansas city originally and was a former marine. Beyond that there is a lot of questions about his motivation, exactly what brought him to baton rouge this morning. Here is what we know. According to witnesses around 8 20 they saw long dressed in all black, as you mentioned, car rig a rifle. Shots rang out a short time after that. Long was killed in an exchange with officers. Before he was, he shot the six officers, killing three. Of those three, at least one was black. We are told all were married and all had families. Three other officers were at the hospital tonight. One officer is fighting for his life. Hes in critical condition. All members of Law Enforcement who race towards that scene are being called heroes tonight. Keep in mind the Police Department was very close to where the shooting took place. Hundreds of officers ended up swarming the area. Tonight Authorities Say at this point there are no more active threats across the area but they are not elaborating if there are more suspects potentially out there or if they are interviewing any suspects. It comes as the community really has heavy hearts, greta. Ironically, both the superintendent of the Louisiana State police and the governor met with president obama just a couple of days ago to discuss how they could improve relations between communities and between Police Departments across the country. None obviously knowing about the bloodshed that would play out in baton rouge today. President obama addressing the nation a couple of hours ago saying his thoughts and prayers are with the families that have been ripped apart today. Greta . Will, i dont understand the scene. Were there a couple of Police Officers and the shooting engaged and others responded . I realize this is an ongoing investigation. How was he able to kill the Police Officers, shoot so many . Reporter at this point, investigators arent going into the specific details. They say it is a massive crime scene. He started shooting and then apparently continued along the way, shooting at every single officer that was responding. But there is no doubt about it. They say this was plain and simple an ambush on these officers that his goal was to shoot and kill these officers and tonight we have lost three members of Law Enforcement here in louisiana and their brethren are mourning the loss, greta. Will, its just about ten days ago in dallas. Five more executed, murdered. Will, thank you. Mark clements lives in the neighborhood where the deadly shooting took place. He heard the gunshots that killed the three Police Officers. Mark goes on the record from baton rouge. Tell me when you first knew something was going on. Yes. It was this morning, probably 8 30, 8 45 in the morning. I was going to let the dogs out in the backyard. You hear the first couple of shots and think, is this what i think it is. Living around the corner from the Police Headquarters, we have been used to protests and more active areas. The next few shots fired i heard probably 10 to 12 shots in the time i was outside. You immediately go back inside, try to lock the doors, try to figure out whats going on. Explain the area. Im looking at the pictures and i see a lot of police cars there with the lights and everything. Whats the area like generally around the murder scene . Like i have been telling everyone who asked. I have never felt unsafe in my home or in the neighborhood. Its a really active neighborhood. There are always families pushing strollers, walking the dog, going for a jog. There is a high school in the area. There is extra Law Enforcement like in most high schools around the time kids are getting to and from school. I never felt unsafe. A lot of families, married families with kids who bring the kids to school in the morning. Its really not a bad area at all. I have been there a year. Never felt unsafe. Its extraordinary. I know what you have gone through. We have gone through what happened in minnesota and the five Police Officers. Baton rouge is going through this horror again. I can only imagine everyone in the community is feeling grief and turned it all upside down. Thats definitely true. The weird through is the passthrough protest going around the corner from the Police Headquarters. I have driven by the Police Headquarters and its been a peaceful message from what i have seen. There are no signs of people calling for real United Nations or more violence. Everything i have seen has always been a message of peace. Its a shock and also obviously sickening to see this happen today. Three Police Officers murdered. One clinging to life. Two more shot and some families tonight in deep grief in your community. Mark, thank you. Terrifying moments when gunfire erupted playing out on Chilling Police dispatch recording. Shots fired. Officer down. Shots fired. Officer down. Shots fired. Got a city officer down. Police identified the killer as 29yearold gavin long. Fox news chief intelligence correspondent goes on the record from washington, d. C. Catherine . Reporter thanks, greta. Today i spoke with the u. S. Government official getting information in real time as events unfolded. He told me the initial piece of intelligence the comes were working with is there was a guy with an alaska style weapon with a bullet proof vest. There are a couple different scenarios he shot them as they arrived on scene. He was in a vehicle at one point able to spray the comes which helped explain the high number of casualties and injuries. We always hear whether someone is known to the police or not, known to Law Enforcement or not. Was this killer known to Law Enforcement . What we know tonight is that police are descending on his home in kansas city, missouri. They are doing so with weapons drawn. Earlier today our affiliate there in kansas city went to that last known address for gavin long and said when they approached the house, the guy who answered brandished a weapon in an effort to get them to leave the property. There are reports this evening that he was a member of antigovernment groups. We have not independently confirmed that. Certainly we have heard nothing from our contacts or the News Conference this afternoon that he was known to police and considered a threat. Early on in the reporting it said there was a man hunt for two others. What happened with that . Correct. Based on the News Conference it may have been the kind of reporting we saw in dallas because of the quickness and complexity of the crime scene and the way in which shots were fired and what eyewitnesses heard. They didnt indicate once they had the News Conference that there were other shooters. What has my attention and probably yours, too, given your experience is they didnt rule out they were talking to two people who had in some way assisted in this conspiracy, greta. Thank you. Youre welcome. President of the louisiana fraternal order of police and deputy of the pineville Police Department goes on the record. Good evening, sir. I dont know what to say. I keep going through the shows it seems like too often where Police Officers are executed on the street. My condolences to you and all Law Enforcement. Thank you, maam. This is a dark day in louisiana for Law Enforcement. Do you get the sense and im saying this carefully. I dont want to stir up trouble. But that the community, that the nation isnt behind Law Enforcement or the government isnt or that you have a target on your back . Tell me how you think Law Enforcement is feeling. In louisiana, i think we are unique. We have a great sense of community in our state. There is a great sense of people showing respect and showing support for Law Enforcement across the state. There is that portion of the community that doesnt appreciate the job we do every day. Overall in louisiana, i think we are fortunate to have the support of our communities across the state. In this early investigation we have no idea what provoked this guy. We have no idea if the prior shootings had anything to do with it. We are suspicious. Nonetheless, the police are getting shot. Why do you think this is happening . Whats your theory . I mean, we think there is always a certain narrative across the nation where a Certain Group of people are always coming out, bashing Law Enforcement being the things we do. Law enforcement officers are like everyone else. They have a job to do. We are the protectors of the community. On a daily basis they go out, protect that community and they want to return at night or at the end of the tour to their family and be part of the community they protect on a daily basis. Thats the chief job of the Law Enforcement officer is to protect the community and return home with the family at night. I was listening to the police chief in dallas last week. He said something that really struck. The Police Officers are expected to do so much more. They are going into communities with drug problems. They are not the ones supposed to be solving drug problems. Politicians are getting federal money and we have drugs in the communities. Education is falling apart. Police officers arent supposed to create educational programs. We expect so much of the police doing the job. I got it. I thought what in the world are we doing for Police Across the country . Your thoughts. Sure. Chief brown had tons of great remarks when the tragedy happened in dallas. To a certain extent i believe hes right that communities ask us to do a lot more things in protecting and serving the public. They want us to be involved. As Law Enforcement officers because of who we are and the nature of things we do we always want to be involved in the conversations about protecting our communities and making them better on a daily basis. Thats part of the reason Law Enforcement officers get involved in the job they want to do. Seems they are getting squeezed from the politicians who arent doing their jobs trying to fix problems in the community and getting squeezed in the community who are d dissatisfied with them. Its unfair to so many Law Enforcement across the country. Chief, we grieve with you and everybody else tonight in Law Enforcement. Thanks for joining us, sir. Thank you, maam. Its great to be on. Our prayers and thoughts are with baton rouge and the Baton Rouge Community of this tragedy from today. Thank you, sir. Todays police shootings, murders coming one day before the kick off of the rnc convention. Safety and security is on the minds of even, especially those in cleveland. On the record investigates the security preparations under way outside quicken loans arena. Grif . Reporter when you talk to the officers here they would be lying if they told you they werent on a heightened awareness concerned about things. You see protesters that we have in d. C. In this just 20 minutes ago this entrance was shut down. We had a presence of 50 or more officers. We had dozens of officers on horseback. We had folks looking like they were ready for riot gear. There is no one here. Just a few officers doing traffic. We are learning about the operations already. They will be swift. When they dont have a threat they are going to remain in the background. Not in an aggressive position. When i spoke earlier today to Sergeant Jennifer chuns about what they are doing this is what she had to say. We have support coming from as far west as california and as far south as florida. We have officers from around the country sworn in as special Police Officers here to support the efforts to keep cleveland save during this event. We are looking forward to a safe event and well Work Together to make sure it happens. I want you to look at something the Police Union President here steve loomis talked about his concerns particularly for officers that may be in solo positions. There are 35 according to him of traffic officers in the city. He says, as you can see, at this entrance to the Convention Center where you are, there are multiple officers. Further away you get there may be intersections according to the police union, 35 of them, where there could be only one officer. That makes him a soft and easy target should there be a targeting of officers here. But as sergeant ciacca says thousands have been training for over 18 months for this operation. They are from hundreds of Law Enforcement offices across the country. They are ready for it. Not intimidated by any threat out there. They asked if you were here and you see something to call the tip line, 800callfbi. I was struck by something. I was struck by how nice and sweet the Police Officers were. There are lots of crowds here. Lebron james and basketball here. But everything is everyone is professional. They were gracious opd an a day thats painful for Law Enforcement, they all know what happened in baton rouge today. I tip my hat tonight. There is a tough job in cleveland. Thank you. We go back to baton rouge where three Police Officers were ambushed, murdered next. Also on the record live from cleveland, ohio, the home of the 2016 Republican National convention, a Convention Speaker is ahead. A deadly attack, another on police. Three baton rouge Police Officers are murderer ed today and three more officers shot and one at this hour remains in critical condition. He is fighting for his life. Police detailing the ambush minute by minute. Today at approximately 8 40 a. M. Several louisiana Law Enforcement officers were shot. A call came into central dispatch of the baton rouge city Police Department saying there was a guy carrying a weapon, a rifle walking in that particular area at airline and goodwood. That was the information that came in to us. Multiple officers were transported to local hospitals for treatment. I will tell you three officers died from injuries. Two from the baton rouge Police Department. One from the East Baton Rouge Parish office. One sheriffs deputy is in critical condition. Got out of surgery a short time ago. Two additional officers suffered nonlife threatening wounds. They are in stable condition at the hospital now. At approximately 8 40 a. M. Baton rouge p. D. Officers at a Convenience Store observed the individual wearing all black standing behind a Beauty Supply store holding a rifle. At approximately 8 42 a. M. Reports received of shots fired. At approximately 8 44 a. M. , reports received of officers down on the scene. At 8 45, reports received of more shots being fired. At 8 46 a. M. , reports received of the suspect, again, wearing all black, standing near a car wash located next to the convenient store. At 8 48, i ems units arrived at the scene. They were staging. Approached and got the bodies that were at the scene to render first aid. Officers engaged the suspect at that particular time and he ultimately died. Officers were responding to the scene itself. Louisiana state Police Superintendent colonel Michael Edmundson and John Bell Edwards go on the record from baton rouge. Good evening. As i have said to every guest and as i said when i covered dallas it is really hard to know what to say to you. Let me go to you, superintendent. What do you say to the people who work for you . I tell them all the time. Remember your training and be safe. What happened this morning is unfathomable. I was in the hospital with the governor, with the police chief, with the sheriff. The raw emotions from the family were unbelievable. To tell a family identifying their loved ones as one that was killed and to listen to that. The individual i saw a few days ago, watch the emotions from the sheriff, the police chief. Its very, very difficult. Been doing this 36 years. Its difficult every time to see it. Governor, what do you tell the people of louisiana . Obviously this is you know, you have a situation where there was a shooting last week. In louisiana. Now youve got this. What are you telling the citizens to try to put the lid on the great dissension here and great violence, heart ache and murder. Well, this is not who we are. This is not what we are best at obviously. We need to do better. Quite frankly, until today i was very proud of the folks in louisiana and baton rouge in particular because we have had many, many demonstrations and protests and marches, all of which have been very peaceful. Today was the first act of violence related since the shooting. This is a tough day. You mentioned its hard to get the words to ask questions about the incidents. I was at the hospital earlier today with colonel edmondayson and others. The words failed me. This violence, hatred has to stop. There is nothing about this act today thats going to further anything of value here in louisiana or elsewhere in the country. We just simply have to do better. We have to root out the violence and hatred. We have to stop targeting Police Officers. It is completely uncalled for. When you attack a Police Officer who is out there doing what hes supposed to do, protecting and serving you are attacking the fabric of the nation of our society. Weve got to have law and order. Colonel, i work about four blocks in washington, d. C. Im in cleveland tonight. Four blocks from Law Enforcement memorial. I have been down there a number of times. On the record has done shows there. There are 20,000 names in the wall. When the murders happened in dallas i knew i would be there again soon. Now in baton rouge. I talked to so many Police Officers. They are feeling so many of them feel they are not getting support. Even the chief in dallas. He said he wanted support. He wanted to make the day different where he felt like getting support from the community. Do you feel that way . Do you feel there is no support for the police or insufficient . It seems like every time we do something we are questioned. As a Police Officer i cant hit the pause button. As i respond to effect an arrest i cant hit the pause button. I have to react based on my training, what i know and justify it to a court. I think thats the message here, greta. As Police Officers, we are called to task to explain everything we do. Im quick to go to the guys and support them. I know what they do out there. I want to tell them how much i support them. One of the first things the governor did was he went to new orleans to talk to my guys on the streets in new orleans to let them know as governor hell support them. Hell do what he can to make sure they have the equipment they need and hear the words as a Police Officer. I think back to hear the words from a leader or a governor that says, you know, i support you. You are safe with me. Thats critical words for Police Officers, first responders. They have to hear it, greta. It needs to come from chiefs, sheriffs and it is coming from the leaders here including our governor. We citizens could do it, too. When we bump into you in the Grocery Store or the 7 11 or when you pull us over for going a few miles over the speed limit. We can afford to do it as well. Thank you. Im sorry we are talking about a horrible topic. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. On the record is monitoring a deadly ambush in baton rouge. Well take you back live as news breaks plus the 2016 Republican National Convention Starts tomorrow. You know it will be exciting. A preview of the huge week is next.

This is the fourth National Convention for the critical swing state of ohio. The first one dating all the way back to 1876. Everyone is awaiting gop presumptive nominee donald trump. Donald trump says hes the law and order candidate. Today following the murders of three baton rouge Police Officers donald trump tweeted this. We grieve for the officers killed in baton rouge today. How many Law Enforcement and people have to die because of a lack of leadership in our country . We demand law and order. Hillary clinton also released a statement that reads in part, todays devastating assault on Police Officers in baton rouge is an assault on all of us. There is no justification for violence, for hate, for attacks on men and women who put their lives on the line every day in service of our families and communities. Former director of the intelligence agency, lieutenant director Michael Flynn goes on the record. Thanks for having me. Your thoughts. We are going to talk about National Security but this. It is another level of complexity going on in the world. Certainly in the United States. Honestly, i wish the president had been had said Something Different today than what he said. One thing i would like to say because i caught the last piece of the last part of your show. Superintendent edmondsen in louisiana is of such high integrity. Hes a great leader. One of the officers killed today, officer i want to make sure i get his name right, Montrell Jackson in a facebook posting three days ago and everybody will probably see it now. There is a times article out. He wrote dont let hate infect your heart. Honest to god, i guess he has a child. This type of tragedy cannot happen in this country. We cannot allow the rule of law to break down in this country the way its breaking down. In all these cities, even outside here of this convention we have people. I heard one today about abolish police. You have got to be kidding me. The president should have said, protest peacefully, but lay off the cops. Look what happened. We have eight dead. In the last week from targeted killing, not from just a tough action that happened on the streets of our country but targeted killing of police. Not one killing is more painful than the other. Those comes were correcting the right to protest them. They were sitting there listening to people say horrible things. Protecting the right to peaceful protest. Even saying awful things about the cops. Hug a cop. This is unbelievable. This is at a level now where there has to be we have to step back. The leadership of this country and im putting my finger on the president at this point. There have been statements or nonstatements, the things he hasnt said and in the past there are things he has said. We have to stop that. We cannot have our country in the state its in. What do you want them to say . Say hey, these groups out therele kaing out police like they are calling them out, you cant do that. Protest all you want. You have the right to peace blie protest in this country. To say to them, look, if you want to be a legitimate credible organization with a legitimate cause you have to tell people out there that think they are part of your organization to knock it off. Thats what i want the president of the United States to stand up and say without the talking points hell get. Say it from your heart. Thats unbelievable to me. Indeed. The families, i think of the children and everything else. It is. Its the worst. General, thank you. Going to be a busy week. Thanks. The center presenting it here next. Plus on the record is monitoring the deadly ambush in baton rouge. Well take you back to louisiana. Hmm. [cell phone beeps] hey [police whistle blows] [horns honking] woman hey [bicycle bell rings] turn here. There. Excuse me. Uh. Uh. [indistinct announcement on p. A. System] so, same time next week . Well, of course. Announcer put away a few bucks. Feel like a million bucks. For free tips to help you save, go to feed the pig we are back live in cleveland, ohio. The Republican National convention is almost here. Ohio is one of the key swing states. In the last 13 president ial elections the winner in ohio has gone on to win the white house. Thats why donald trump and the gop are hoping to win big in ohio. In the past few days gop leaders have been hammering out a Party Platform they believe will give them the white house. Senator, nice to see you. Thanks for having me. All of the nominees dont completely embrace the platform, right . Both parties with a long history of that. This is a conservative platform, a solid platform focused on jobs, the economy, getting america to work and National Security. Last time we talked about a fence. Now its a wall. National security is a big part of this. Why from fence to wall . The Platform Committee is 112 delegates. They can work their will, speak their voice. We have done it on lots of issues and National Security is a big part of it. You see whats happening around the world with isis. Tragedy everywhere. You saw john kerry today talk about the fact that he says, hey, isis is on the run. Isis is on the rise. We need to focus on the threat to the National Security. The platform does it andnd dona trump does it. You dodged a little bit from fence to wall but i will move on. One of the big goals is to be inclusive of the gop. One of the issues in the platform is that constitutional amendment to take away gay marriage, reverse the supreme courts right to gay marriage. What do you say to the gay republicans about that . How do you tell them thats inclusive when it takes them out of the mix . The platform says let the states make those decisions, that washington shouldnt dictate these things. Thats what the Platform Committee does. We get spirited debate, active debate and we come together on things for the most part that unify us and unify america. Thats where we are focused on getting people back to work in contrast to the democratic party. It must be tough for gay republicans. Dont you think . All of the sudden the party doesnt want to embrace gay marriage. Not that they ever did. But specifically in writing in the platform . The platform says let the states make decisions. Dont have the federal government dictating these things. This is consistent with the long held beliefs of the Republican Party. Both parties have platforms. They hammered them out and battled them out. I suspect its like herding cats to get them to agree. Ours is an open process. It was on cspan for eight hours. We had 112 delegates making decisions. It was herded through by bernie sanders. Liberal supporters. If the candidates dont adhere 100 , what are they for . They talk about the vision, the views and values as a party. They can be instructive to other people around the country. We are best when we are united talking about things that unite us and they can be instructive for the nominee, donald trump. Nice to see you. It will be an exciting week in cleveland. Were going to win in november. Thanks. This is the stage where donald trump and governor mike pence will accept the party nomination. You will hear from governor pence next. P . P . H he has a sharp wit. A winning smile. And no chance of getting an athletic scholarship. And that is why you invest. The best returns arent just measured in dollars. This is a fox news alert. An American College student confirmed dead in the nice terror attack. Uc berkeley confirmed Nicholas Leslie was killed with 83 more people when a terrorist drove a speeding truck through a bastille day celebration. On the record is live in cleveland, ohio. This is where the big political news is. Ohio picked a winning candidate for president 28 of the last 30 elections. In a few days donald trump and his pick for Vice President governor mike pence take the stage in cleveland. Governor pence sat down with sean hannity. Why is he the right man for the right time in your view . First off hes the peoples choice. I believe in the collective wisdom of the American People. We had a competitive primary with an enormous number of talented men and women. Donald trump again and again emerged because i think very much like the 40th president that you and i so admire, ronald reagan, donald trump understands the anxiety andation of the American People like no leader since reagan. Hes given voice to that. People have rallied around him and i believe will continue to rally around him. I expect next week at our convention you will see our party and leaders in the party rally around this good man who will be a great president of the United States. Are you ready for the predictable onslaught that Clinton Campaign has said youre incredibly divisive. As a matter of fact, you are the most extreme pick in a generation. Doesnt surprise you, right . Well, you know, im a conservative, but im not in a bad mood about it. Throughout my career i have tried to stand for those principles of less government, less taxes, traditional values. I have done it without apology. I have also sought to do it in a way that practices civility toward others. In my years in congress, my years as governor of indiana we worked with people across the aisle. I expect in the course of the campaign well mix it up, have great debates but after the election when we have the opportunity to serve well work with people to solve problems facing the country, make this country safe again. The on the record Political Panel is here. Shelby, what do you think secretary of state Hillary Clinton thought when she heard governor mike pence was the choice. What shes been tweeting and and sending reports about is this is a great pick that works well for her because mike pence is already painted as sexist, antiwomen, antiimmigrant. It sort of allows them to expand on the talking points they have been using. But i think shes also worried because mike pence is helping donald trump bring on a faction of the Republican Party that wasnt so excited about donald trump in the first place. Thats the conservative grassroots faction of the Republican Party that has really welcomed mike pence to the ticket. They have shown a lot of excitement about having him on board. Susan, what do you think the campaign and the Clinton Campaign thinks now that governor mike pence is on the ticket . I think he doesnt broaden the base of who would come out and vote for republicans. One of the complaints from moderates is he complaints for moderates is that he has a strong record they think is opposing gay marriage and abortion. These are easy targets for Hillary Clinton. Easy targets for the democrats. If anything, it will help the democrats make the case that in fact the Republican Party will attack women. Will it attack diversity, things that have been targets of the democrats. So trump moved away from a lot of that stuff. He can appeal toll some blue voters. He has shown that capability but i think pence is considered a trusted conservative and a consistent conservative on many conservative issues that democrats like to target. Everyone says it doesnt matter who the vp is, maybe it doesnt but does it do anything for him until november. A cnn orc poll came out and said the majority of voters said that picking pence reflected well on donald trump and showed his ability to make decisions. The way he made the decision may not have been positive but the actual decision itself was a good choice. Although 80 of those voters in the cnn poll said pence wont do anything to sway them to or against donald trump. When people say he is vanilla. Historically it almost never matters who the Vice President ial pick is. Never matters at all. It could hurt. Even in the case of bush and quail, people said he could bring the ticket down. But to your point it could be true for those on the fence that arent sure about trump. That may bring in conservatives who may have stayed home because they thought trump was not conservative enough. I think the elephant in the room is the fact we are in ohio. It traditionally picked the one that goes to the white house and governor kasich has not endorsed trump. Hes not showing up for. I got his schedule. Hes not going to be here. We thank you both. Thank you. Ted williams on the ground investigating and ted goes on the record next.

The investigation in to the vicious crime is only beginning. On the record ted williams, a louisiana native and is with a lawyer. He is joining us from baton rouge. Another one of these horrible stories. I dont know what to say. What are your thoughts on this . Greta, it was just a week ago that i was in dallas and one of my worst fears may have well come true here. We talked about the fact there maybe a lone wolf or copycat out there. What we found here, we may well have a copycat of another killer killing Police Officers. You know, ted, i always look at these cases and think to myself, all of these officers left their homes this morning, probably said goodbye to family, children, spouse or whatever and all expected to return home tonight. Then you have some cruel person, some sick person doing this. The police have come to feel like they have a target on their back. You heard the chief in dallas last week. The police, they keep good faith and do their job well and all of that stuff but it is tough for them and their families. It is very tough. Out of these three individuals killed all of them had families. My heart goes out to those when i listen to the story of a 72yearold man who was a tenyear veteran of a Police Department and just had a baby in his family and he also just saved a burning baby from a building. When you think of those you know, its that officer and all of these officers they are all heros in their own way. Absolute sli. Thank you for joining us. My pleasure. All right. We hire police to protect us. After all thats been happening to them, shouldnt we ask yourselves what are we doing to protect Innocent Police . It should be a twoway street. They help us, we should be helping them. And tonight we are grieving but grieving from afar and its not stopping the killings. What about the politicians . What are they doing . Some are going to funerals and thats nice but not stopping the murder of Innocent Police. Cop killings are going up and many cops feel we have abandoned them. You are looking at some of the officers shot the line of duty and what about their families and their broken hearts. One thing i would say to my dad when he walked out the door was goodbye, daddy. I love you. Be safe. And tonight final goodbye, daddy, we love you. Be safe. We hire police to protect us but we are falling short on our side of the bargain to protect them. Police have every reason to be disappointed in us a. Thats all tonight from cleveland, ohio. We will see you here. I will take you inside the convention to the Republican Convention floor. Dont miss this week. It will be a great week here on the record. Good night from cleveland. The. This is a fox news alert, coming to you, tonight, from cleveland, i am bret baier, the Cleveland Convention from is less than a mile from the Republican National Convention Starting tomorrow. We will have the political news in a moment. First, another multiple killing of Police Officers. Officer down. Officer down. Officer down. A city officer is down. Shots fired. Shot fired.
