Congratulations to dan. Lets get right to the latest on the chilling execution of two new York City Police officers. Yeah, the senseless killings come at a time when there is a bitter rift between police and activists who have been protesting what they say is police brutality. We start our Team Coverage with abcs linsey davis at the scene in brooklyn. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, paula. Police are calling it murder even though the suspect in this case will never have his day in court. It happened right here, two Police Officers sitting in their patrol car who likely never even saw their attacker coming. Overnight new York Police Department officials calling this brooklyn crime scene the site of an ambush and execution of two of its officers. They were quite simply assassinated targeted for their uniform. Reporter according to the nypd, officers wenjian liu and rafael ramos were on their lunch break sitting inside their marked patrol car when 28yearold Ismaaiyl Brinsley appeared on the sidewalk, walked up to their vehicle gun in hand and opened fire. Shots fired. Shots fired. Reporter striking both officers in the head at pointblank range. I heard it. Reporter s. W. A. T. Teams and patrolmen surging to the scene chasing a fleeing brinsley to a nearby subway station still armed with his semiautomatic handgun. This dramatic video capturing the moment when passengers dropped to the ground in fear. Get on the floor. Reporter and as the police close in, Officials Say brinsley shoots himself in the head. One perp is shot. Reporter brinsley rushed into an ambulance to the same Brooklyn Hospital as the two officers he shot where all three were pronounced dead. The attack ending a ninehour interstate shooting spree that began outside of baltimore 200 miles away around 5 45 saturday morning. Brinsley allegedly shot and wounded his exgirlfriend in her apartment, escaping before police arrived. At about 2 10, pings from brinsleys phone led Baltimore County police to discover he had made it all the way to brooklyn, new york. The Department Says it called new york police to warn them of threats brinsley made online. That warning never made it to these two officers shot execution style just over 30 minutes later. We met the parents of officer liu, the woman he recently married. We met the wife of officer ramos. We met his 13yearold son who couldnt comprehend what had happened to his father. Reporter this morning two Police Agencies say new yorks mayor has blood on his hands. Nypd officers even turned their backs as the mayor walked into last nights press conference and former new york governor George Pataki tweeted these barbaric acts are predictable outcome of divisive anticop rhetoric, and then he put the hashtags for the attorney general and mayor de blasio. Thanks so much. Such senseless killings. Now to more on those chilling messages brinsley posted online before heading north from baltimore where he shot his exgirlfriend. Abcs bazi kanani continues our coverage in owings mill, maryland. Bazi. Reporter good morning, ryan. Baltimore county police say the woman shot in her apartment is expected to survive and hope she can tell them more about the shooter as they try to figure out his motive. The last Facebook Post from Ismaaiyl Brinsley seemingly foreshadows a violent ending. I always wanted to be known for doing something right. But my past is stalking me, and my present is haunting me. Investigators now combing over the 28yearolds social media accounts to look for what led to his rampage. On a dating website, brinsley is pictured behind a camera. He calls himself a film director and free thinker. No indication of his criminal record in three states, arrested multiple times on theft, assault and weapons charges. Were really trying to learn as much as we can as quickly as we can about this individual. Reporter police say the new york native was most recently living in georgia. No details yet on his relationship with the former girlfriend he allegedly shot in her maryland apartment. But it was her mother who tipped off police that he was posting on instagram just before that grisly new york ambush. A picture of his pant leg with bloodstains. A picture of a handgun, references to Michael Brown and eric garner, who died at the hands of police, and this clear threat, they take one of ours, lets take two of theirs. Shootthepolice. Some of the postings which i understand that are out there would seem to indicate that he had a very strong bias against Police Officers. Reporter the brown and garner families and several of the organizers of the antipolice brutality protest immediately condemned brinsleys attack and say they are now praying for the officers families. Paula. Bazi, thank you. We want to bring in abc news consultant ray kelly, who is the Longest Serving Police commissioner of the city of new york. Good morning, ray, under the circumstances. We really want to go over the time line. The gunman allegedly shot an exgirlfriend then he posted online that he was going to, quote, put wings on pigs, roughly eight hours later baltimores pd traces his cell phone to new york. Baltimores pd then alerts, they fax, and they phone the nypd. But was enough done to alert the nypd of just how dire this threat was . Yeah, i would commend the Baltimore County police. It takes a while to sort this out. As soon as they determined that information, they contacted the new York City Police department. Unfortunately, it was about the same time as the assault on the officers. You know, i see no issue with the notification. Officials do believe that the gunman was a lone wolf, but could this assassination really trigger more lone wolf incidents from those angered about Michael Brown and we dont know. We have a history in this city in the 70s of these sorts of assassinations of teams of Police Officers and we saw more coming down the pike. Actually in 1972 there were 12 Police Officers killed. Officers have to be on alert. Obviously you gather as much intelligence information as you can and put it out to officers on patrol, not only in new york city but throughout the country. So much fear that this could happen again across the country and speaking of that, how will this affect Police Forces across the country, especially in their relationship with the civilians that theyre called to protect . Well, if that question implies that somehow there will be a diminishment of police resolve or response, i have never seen it in 45 years in policing. This will not impact at all in my judgment on Police Response to emergency situations. It just is not in the tradition, not in the culture. When this first happened, what was the first thought that went through your mind, ray . Well, as i say, ive been here a long time and thought about other incidents like this that ive seen. Weve had it throughout the 70s, 80s and had officer eddie burn assassinated in 1989 so it brought back horrible memory, thats for sure. Ray kelly, under the circumstances we do thank you for joining us this morning. Ryan. Our condolences to the families of both Police Officers, as well. Lets turn to abc news chief anchor and host of this week, george stephanopoulos. Hey, ryan. Good morning, george. George, is there a concern that these killings could lead to a rise in tension against the protesters despite Movement Leaders condemning the attacks . Yeah, they came out very quickly to condemn the attacks. I think they had to. One of the things weve seen with this whole debate since ferguson and the garner choke hold and now with this assassination is a real polarization in views. People really hunkering down on either side. I think this could have the prospect of increasing that kind of polarization and tension. But its going to then be incumbent on leaders starting with the president , the attorney general, the mayor, the governor here in new york to try to bridge those gaps and do what they can to really foster a dialogue coming out of this assassination. You mentioned that. The president , the attorney general, both condemning the killings, and we talked about the protest leaders, as well. Is there anything that can be done nationally to build the connection between people in their communities and the police who were designed to protect the the president already appointed a task force to look into this including members of the police and community. I think youll see a new emphasis on Community Policing and more funding for Community Policing, but one of the things youre seeing in new york in the wake of this attack is the Police Officers saying, no, right now well be sending two cars for every time theres any kind of an incident and muscling up even more, which is completely understandable under the circumstances, but that was one of the things that you were seeing was creating tension in the communities to begin with. Right, so theres this inherent sense of we want to strengthen our response in some ways but that same strengthening could lead to mistrust. Thats why the dialogue will have to continue and as i said, the president appointed the task force to look into these matters. All right, george, thank you so much. George will have the latest on the Police Killings in new york coming up on abcs this week and so, george, well look out for that, thank you. George, thank you. And ryan, as well. Now, we are tracking some other developing stories including a health scare for muhammad ali. Good morning to you, paula and ryan. We begin with boxing legend muhammad ali hospitalized with a mild case of pneumonia. A spokeman for the 72yearold threetime heavyweight champion says the pneumonia was caught early so his stay at an undisclosed hospital is expected to be a short one. Ali is rarely seen in public in recent years as he battles parkinsons. And lava from hawaiis kilauea volcano is blazing a trail across the big island. The river of fire is picking up speed scorching 160 yards from just the past 48 hours. Scientists say the molten rock is about six days away from reaching a Shopping Center there on the big island. Several stores in the lavas path have been closed and others are expected to shut their doors in coming days. And new backlash this morning after the pentagon releases four afghan prisoners held in guantanamo there in cuba. Congressman howard mccuen, the republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee Says the afghans are terrorists and that it was irresponsible to free them. The government, though, says all four men, three of them held for 12 years are considered lowlevel prisoners who pose little threat. And a dramatic crash caught on a Police Officers dash cam. A georgia officer make a routine traffic stop. Moments after he walked to his patrol car, a fedex truck drifts out of his lane and slams you see it there into the officers cruiser. The truck driver was seriously injured. The Police Officer suffered a minor leg injury. His patrol car as you see there not so lucky. And talk about luck, i want you to check this out. Youre going to see a bicyclist who was cruising in eastern china when he got in the way of a dump truck. The semi truck knocks him down and rolls right over him as you see right there. Somehow the tires on this 14wheel truck miss him completely as it goes over the guy. You see him. Look at this. Oh, wow. And amazingly he ended up suffering only minor skin bruises. Oh. Incredible. That is pretty incredible. Wow. And finally a spectacular run during a Football Game saturday night. I want you to take a look at this video. Its San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick going the distance. He could go all the way he does go all the way i stole that from espn, by the way. Running 90 yards for a touchdown eluding five san diego defenders. Wow. Wow. Woop. We need the other sound effect, as well. Woop. That 90yard run was not even the nfl record. The nfl record was set a year ago by the raiders, my team, quarterback, Terrelle Pryor who ran 93 yards for a touchdown. The 49ers by the way ended up losing that game. Leading 287 at halftime. They lost 3835 in o. T. It looked like a high school Football Game. Yeah, it really did. Shocking 49ers. Can we now talk about jim harbaugh taking the michigan job . Be my guest. After a bad year for michigan. Are you excited . Im very excited. Jim harbaugh, a little confession, was my first imaginary boyfriend as a child. I always loved michigan. A bit of a hot head. Id say. Thats all right, though. Thats all right, though. Im very passionate about michigan football. We can hope for the best, right . Yes, your imaginary boyfriend should do well. Sorry, honey, to my husband. That was a long time ago. And we do have new developments changing pace new developments in the huge sony cyberattack. Those hackers sending a message that mocks the fbi for its investigation almost taunting them. Abcs tom llamas has the latest. Reporter this morning the group behind the sony hack apparently firing back and taunting the fbi. The Hollywood Reporter says an online post claiming to be from the guardians of peace includes a link to this page with a socalled Christmas Gift message written in broken english as the other leaks have been, it says in part the result of investigation by fbi is so excellent that you might have seen what we were doing with your own eyes. We congratulate you success. Fbi is the best in the world. The message also links to this Youtube Video titled you are an idiot. The video shows a montage of happy faces and animated dancing. Its unclear if the video uploaded in 2006 is directly linked to the cyberattack group. The Hollywood Reporter could not verify the authenticity of the email but says the message which abc news did not receive appears similar to previous ones from the gop. On saturday north korea denied responsibility for the hack despite both the fbi and the president naming the regime as the culprits. They caused a lot of damage. Reporter on staterun media the kim jongun government accusing the u. S. Of spreading groundless allegations and threatening grave consequences if the u. S. Rejected their offer of a joint investigation to find the real attackers. The white house is standing by its assertion the North Koreans hacked into sonys computers and leaked embarrassing emails, employee information and unreleased content. Tom llamas, abc news, new york. All right, tom llamas, thank you for that. And now to the wild weekend for lastminute christmas shoppers just count them four days to go to buy those gift. Oh, better get that shopping done and procrastinators are out in full force causing mall madness. Abcs Gloria Riviera is in silver spring, maryland. Good morning, gloria. Reporter good morning, paula, ryan. Well, this is the calm before the storm. But i can tell you i think a lot of people are breathing easier this morning after a successful day of gift buying yesterday. I saw men staggering out of stores blearyeyed loaded to the gills. Women checking off lists, more than one person shopping for themselves. With deals this good it was a gift for your pocketbook. They are the kind of lines that get procrastinators blood pumping, super saturday, the last saturday before christmas and its all about the sales, sales, sales. This sweater was 5. I just got the iphone 6. I just got a pair of shoes for 70 . Reporter even i couldnt resist the discounts. True confession, i still have shopping to do. I still need to buy a gift for my husband. Sort of critical. So im going inside to see what i can find. Rock bottom prices by retailers hoping to net more than 10 billion beating out sales from black friday and even cyber monday. They have like 60 off the entire purchase. Reporter best buy is slashing the cost of the ipad air by 100 and offering free shipping. Stores like toys r us will be open starting monday around the clock until 9 00 p. M. Christmas eve. Kohls already going 24 7. Guys, i hit the jackpot. Mens fashion. 40 to 65 off. This could be it. But if you are truly among the ultimate procrastinators heres a quick guide to make sure your late buy arrives on time. U. S. Mail, you have to go with priority shipping express, shop on amazon and you have until monday for twoday shipping, which is free to prime members. Aisles just filled with deals and guess what success. I cant tell you what it is because my husband might be watching this, but hes getting something under the tree and i got to save a few bucks. Well, just a little bit of a device if youre really one of those glad yachter bargain hunters, experts say there are a lot of apps out there to compare prices online versus in the store. Also, experts say let go of that idea youre going to find the perfect gift. It just might not happen, and, finally, gift cards are not a copout. After all, retailers already have their eye on that postholiday bump when everyone comes in to cash in. Ryan. Thats great news. Gift cards are not a copout. So im getting everybody gift cards. Youre saved. Just dont get your wife a gift card. Or anything for the kitchen. Gloria, real briefly, ryan wants to know if you bought his socks for him. He asked yesterday. Oh, the socks. The socks are coming, ryan. I wasnt sure what size so youll get about a dozen. Ill take it. Thats good because im on my last pair. Anklets. Gloria, thanks for braving it again on this what are we cowing it, sorry sunday, sorry we waited this long. I like it. I know rob marciano has done all of his christmas shopping. Rob. Zero. I need the pressure. I need the pressure. And, of course, theres always that backup bag of coal in the garage just in case. Im kidding. Nobody is getting that. Hey, listen, weve got a storm thats been assaulting the Pacific Northwest for the past couple of days and flash flood or flood warnings especially for oregon seen over 7 inches of rain in some spots and more to come today. The Clackamas River for one is going to be at flood stage and may be evacuations there. Wind advisories into the mountains. Weve got some winter storm warnings and advisories there, as well. This low will press inland. So snow levels pretty high but there will be snow of about or above 6,000 feet and some of that will be heavy at times and the strong winds, of course, will press through the mountains and into the plains, as well. Tuesday, we start to tap a little gulf moisture. Chance for thunderstorms tuesday if youre traveling on that day across eastern texas through the midsouth and notably alabama and mississippi as this rain begins to move into the great lakes and then this storm kind of broadens out and does strengthen quite a bit. Its going to be mostly a windmaker. On the east side its going to be a warm wind for sure and some heavy rains. Christmas eve is not going to be a good travel day especially across the east coast, not only for the wind but for the rain that will be heavy at times along the i95 corridor and the back side of this thing will see a little snow. Some folks north of chicago will see a White Christmas and much cooler towards friday. By the way, winter officially arrives at 6 03 p. M. Eastern time. So that will put you in the mood for sure.

Reporter three days after opening fire on texas weatherman Patrick Crawford in the parking lot of waco tv station kcen. Eyewitnesses rushing to his aid. He said, ive been shot, ive been shot. Im in terrible pain, help me please. I heard the pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. As much as im in this business and that kind of stuff happens all the time, i never thought it would happen here. Reporter new details emerging about the shooting. Police now saying the suspect possibly ran off into the woods after firing 13 rounds at crawford as he was getting into his car. Three hitting the weatherman. Went and got some paper towels out of my truck and we held those on his wounds and five, six minutes later the state trooper showed up. Reporter crawford survived even helping create this detailed image of his attacker. And at the station where he and his wife are meteorologists now here is our heat index. Reporter friends and colleagues say theyve been inundated with tips after airing the image nearly nonstop. Were going to do everything we can to help the police find this person. Someone out there knows who this person is. For him still to be out there and kind of nobody knows where he went, and thats frustrating. Reporter crawford, who is still at the hospital recovering, says he does not know the shooter. Whether this was a random act of violence or if it was a personal act of violence we dont know that. So were just going to still follow up and follow up every lead we can. Reporter crawford had surgery for the bullet that struck him in the abdomen. Officials say hes recovering well and even checking his fantasy football lineup from the hospital so at least hes doing better and we certainly hope for a full recovery there. 13 shots fired. 13 shots fired and, again, he says he doesnt know this person.

And the 17yearold son of chicago mayor rahm emanuel was mugged near his familys home on friday. Police say two men grabbed Zakharchenko Emanuel and took off with his cell phone. Finally, this is a great story. A California Homeowner was overjoyed when animal control workers called to tell her they found her beloved dog cocoa stolen from her lawn. But when she got cocoa back, she had to do a double take because cocoa had been returned a darker cocoa shade of gray. You dont even see the resemblance. Animal control that was a professional job.

Welcome to crock country. tis the season for a holiday vacation, so when you hear about an offer for a free plane ticket and a hotel room, you may be tempted to pack your bags, but before you do, check out what we found with our hidden cameras. Abcs chief economics correspondent Rebecca Jarvis has more. Reporter tis the season for giving and traveling, so when two Free Airline Tickets anywhere in the country plus two nights in a hotel show up in the mailbox, it may seem like holiday cheer. Were on a mission tracking the anatomy of a free vacation runaround. The retail value of this award is up to 1,398. There was just one problem. When we googled the phone number we were supposed to call, we got this, complaints and lots of them from people who received letters just like this one. So we decided to schedule an appointment with this mystery company. I received a letter in the mail telling me to call this number to claim our free trip. I stay for a 90minute presentation and get two tickets. Sounds like a good deal. On the day we sent two abc news producers wearing hidden cameras to attend the seminar and pick up those free tickets. Well, good afternoon. How is everybody doing . Reporter what we found is a relentless sales pitch that lasts more than 90 minutes. Guys, let me break it down for you. Reporter when it becomes apparent our producers are not willing to sign up, theyre moved to three different locations with three different salespeople each trying to get us to sign up. Welcome aboard. Reporter over two hours after we walk in the door, were still emptyhanded. Whats up with the tickets we were promised . Reporter were eventually given these vouchers for a free trip. Thats not a trip. Well, its an activation form and we sent in 150 only to get more offers asking for more money. Reporter 15 days after sending in our activation form, we didnt get tickets in the mail but instead a solicitation for more money. Its been about two months since we first met ppv travel in long island. Now weve tracked them down in new jersey. We saw some of the same familiar faces from that first seminar. How are you . Im Rebecca Jarvis with abc news. But they quickly left leaving us with this guy who calls himself thorn. Im not seeing any free tickets, nothing complimentary here. It is complimentary. They are free gifts. They are complimentary. Reporter where are the Complimentary Tickets . Ill be forward with you. We give a 90minute presentation. If you attended the presentation then this form was signed. Reporter the Company Claims that the free gifts are fulfilled by an outside company and theyre not responsible for fulfilling the trip. Reporter we sent in the money. We got these. Then we were told if you want the ticket, you have to pay an activation fee for 59 a person. Which was identified thats not complimentary.

Sara, thats beautiful. Ow it hurts. Well be right back, everybody. Ive always loved exploring and looking for something better. Thats the way i look at life. Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. So you think santa will like these. Red and green m ms .
