Blake, thank you. The deadly incident in minnesota comes amid the growing outrage over another Fatal Police Shooting caught on tape in louisiana. Tonight were learning more about the officers involved in that shooting and the final moments leading up to it. Lets get more from nbcs gabe gutierrez. Reporter with the Justice Department now leading the investigation into the shooting, authorities are poring over Surveillance Video from the Convenience Store where alton sterling died and body cameras that police say were dislodged during the scuffle. We want to make sure that this investigation is broad, as broad as possible. Reporter a homeless man who claims to be the initial 911 caller tells nbc news sterling showed him a gun in his pocket. Told him he couldnt be around there. Reporter what remains unclear is what escalated the confrontation with police so quickly before cell phones started recording. Today we learn more about the officers involved, Blane Salamoni and howie lake. According to Service Records obtained by nbc news, they have five complaints between them, three for use of force, but each time they were cleared by the internal affairs division. Sterling often felt harassed by the police says his cousin. I have no reason why the police threatened him. And this is not the first time they harassed him. Reporter sterling had a lengthy criminal history. Back in 2009 a Police Affidavit says an officer tried to pat sterling down when he resisted arrest and ended up wrestling with the defendant on the ground when a black semiauto gun fell from his waistland.

For two nights now demonstrators have been passionate but peaceful. Authorities here hope that trend continues tonight. Lester . Gabe, thank you. Lets take a step back here. This issue of Police Shootings of black men was pushed into the National Consciousness after the Fatal Shooting of michael brown, an unarmed teenager in ferguson, missouri, almost two years ago. The grand jury, as you may recall, declined to indict the officer in that case. Nonetheless, it sparked a movement and a closer examination of the roots of such confrontations. Kristen welker takes a look. Reporter this weeks policeinvolved shootings caught on camera again sparking National Outrage even spilling over into todays capitol hill hearings. We nn black men to continue to be slaughtered. This morning i woke up to my wife literally crying. Reporter its been two years since michael brown, a black teenager, was shot and killed by a white Police Officer in ferguson, prompting protests all across the country. But on the streets of ferguson today, residents say not enough has changed. Its not ferguson. Its the entire country. Reporter according to an analysis conducted by the washington post, the number of Fatal Shootings by officers has actually increased from 465 in the First Six Months of last year to 491 already this year. Blacks shot at 2. 5 times the rate of whites. The root causes are complicated. Its a combination of what i think is not the best policing. I think its also race is absolutely a dynamic. They misinterpret the threat level. They misinterpret whats happening, and they often go to their reporter but there have been some noticeable changes. Hundreds of Police Departments improving training. Thousands equipping officers with body cameras. People have to understand that body cameras are not a panacea. Its just one tool, just another tool in the tool belt to use to enhance that trust, that accountability. Reporter but perhaps the biggest frustration is still occurring inside families where africanamerican parents are teaching hard lessons. If you want to live and wake up the next day, just do what they say. Even though theyre violating your rights. Reporter lessons they say are critical in hopes of preventing tragedies like the ones captured this week. Kristen welker, nbc news, washington. Lets turn to the tense showdown on capitol hill today. Fbi director james comey on the hot seat before congress defending the decision not to charge Hillary Clinton for using private email when she was secretary of state. Nbcs Peter Alexander tells us it sparked very heated exchanges with republins information reporter the grilling began almost immediately. Thats not a crime . Thats outrageous reporter House Republicans demanding to know why fbi director james comey didnt recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton despite calling her handling of classified information extremely careless. Comey didnt back down on some of his harshest criticism of clinton. Secretary clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails either sent or received. Was that true . Thats not true. Reporter still, he strongly defended his decision saying there was no criminal intent and that the law in question had been used in just one prosecution. No reasonable prosecutor would bring a second case in a hundred years focused on gross negligence. Reporter donald trump this week suggesting a crooked deal. Rigged system, folks. Reporter comey saying the decision was his alone. Nobody outside the fbi family had any idea what i was about to say. I say that under oath. Reporter also revealed today, the three emails of the thousands on clintons server were marked contained no classified header at the top. I think its possible, possible that she didnt understand what a c meant when she saw it in the body of an email like that. Reporter republicans arent buying it. I dont think that our investigation established that she was actually particularly sophisticated with respect to classified information. Isnt she an original classification authority, though . Yes, sir, yes, sir. Good grief. Reporter democrats dismissing it as a political witch hunt. Republicans have turned on you with a vengeance. Reporter but tonight the chairman says hell ask comey whether clinton lied to congress about her emails. If anybody else had done this, theyd probably be in handcuffs. Comey stood his ground and basically said Hillary Clinton did a really bad irresponsible thing but theres no legal basis to indict her, and republicans didnt shake him off of that. Reporter director comey said if Hillary Clinton worked for him, she could be reprimanded or even fired. Still tonight clintons team says that comey knocked down false republican talking points and [000 10 58;00] and keep this email issue alive will backfire. Lester . Peter alexander on capitol hill, thank you. Just 11 days before the Republican National convention, donald trump was still trying to find Common Ground today with republicans in washington. Many of them remain highly skeptical of his candidacy. The talk was tough, and our Hallie Jackson has more. Reporter riding into town, Donald Trumps swagger tripped up by a testy meeting today with dozens of senators, some skeptical. Like jeff flake, introducing himself confrontationaly as the senator from arizona who wasnt captured, a reference to trumps dig at former prisoner of war john mccain. What an awful, awful thing to say about a war hero. I thought he needed to hear it from maybe the other senator from arizona. Reporter while trump appeared to get a strong reception from many of the 215 House Republicans he saw, he is still struggling to unite others. Nevertrump leader ben sasse still [000 11 59;00] visit trump. Happy to listen. Reporter republican sources tell nbc news trump singled out sasse twice at least trying to win him over. Better luck with ted cruz, though. There was no discussion of any endorsement. He asked me if i would speak at the convention, and i said id be very glad to do so. Nobody hammered Hillary Clinton more effectively than he did. Reporter thats what many holdouts want to see. Trump on message instead of going off like he did wednesday night defending a nowdeleted tweet which some found antisemitic showing a jewish star of david over 100 dollar bills. So they have the star, which is fine. I said you shouldnt have taken it down. Reporter that contradicts what his soninlaw Jared Kushner suggested, defending trump in an oped but calling the tweet careless. Trump is good at commanding free media attention, but most of the time it hurts him more than it helps him. Thats why republicans are now so incredibly nervous. Situation where were right on top of the convention and our nominee is in a cold war with his own party. Reporter trumps team pushing back against any suggestion todays meetings were anything but positive, calling them substantive, claiming members were in total agreement. Many here in washington speculating about who trump may pick as his running mate. Chris christie on that list. And late tonight nbc news has learned that christie will travel with trump tomorrow to the battleground of florida. All right. Hallie jackson in washington. Thanks. A terrifying tragedy on a texas highway today. Debris from a bridge damaged after a garbage truck ran into it fell on to a car traveling below. Inside a mother and her two young children. One died. As our tom costello explains, its a much more common risk on the road than you may have realized. Reporter underneath that rubble in sealy, texas, a car crushed by falling concrete from the bridge above. 12yearold brein bullock riding in the front seat was killed. Her mother leah hospital. Another 9yearold managed to climb out with minor injuries. Police say a 72yearold garbage truck driver had driven under the bridge without retracting the dumpster boom. If his boom would have been down, he would have been okay. Reporter nationwide, trucks hit bridges hundreds of times a year. Over a threeyear period 100 strikes in illinois, 195 in florida, 400 in texas. In new york state, roughly 200 bridge strikes each year. 80 of them blamed on drivers using consumer gps devices that dont warn of restricted roads and low bridges. In durham, north carolina, we saw it firsthand, truck after truck, more than 100 since 2008, slamming into a low profile bridge they call the can opener. In texas today police say the garbage truck driver drove right underneath these dangling tubes that serve as a warning. Theres a huge sign that says, if you hit this, you are going to hit the bridge. And the folks behind reporter tonight texas authorities have opened a homicide investigation. Tom costello, nbc news, washington.

Reporter routine vaccination is recommended at 11 or 12 years because it only works if it takes place before the boy or girl is sexually active. The vaccines are give in three doses over six months, yet only 40 of girls and 21 of boys get all three shots.
