Disrespect for our country, as the president now says. Roger goodells answer to that. Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a wednesday night. And we begin with that deadly workplace rampage. Tonight, an urgent manhunt across state lines. It began at an office park in maryland. A suspect reportedly gathering his coworkers and then firing on them. The images today, survivors in shock. Then, Authorities Say he opened fire in another state, 50 miles away. And tonight, that search. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas leads us off from maryland. Reporter the shooting began just before 9 00 a. M. In this suburban office park outside of baltimore. I have a 40ishyearold male with a gunshot to the head. He is awake at this time. Reporter an employee was firing at coworkers at advanced gan it in solutions. We have multiple witnesses saying that a shooter at granite place. Reporter Police Descend on the scene, telling people outside to take cover. He started screaming and he said, get inside. Reporter kevin doyle telling our Stephanie Ramos he saw three men running from the building. They were terrified. Ive never seen that look on anybody before. They were very, very upset. Reporter a lone shooter with a handgun. Schools placed on lockdown. Businesses sheltering in place. Three people dead. Two others critically wounded. The gunman fleeing the scene. Theres an individual out there on the loose who committed, you know, one of the most heinous acts weve ever seen in our country. Certainly we consider him armed and dangerous. Reporter the suspect, identified as 37yearold radeel. Prince, a Machine Operator at advanced granite solutions. Reports surfacing that prince gathered his coworkers to execute them. Prince apparently a man with a troubled past. Earlier this year, a retraining order was sought against prince, after he allegedly punched an employee at a previous job. Princes boss felt threatened when prince allegedly returned multiple times after being fired. The massive manhunt under way. Roughly two hours later, prince allegedly showed up in wilmington, delaware, 50 miles away. The shooting had not stopped. Were getting reports of one patient shot multiple times. Our officers actually saw the vehicle leaving the scene. We were able to give a short chase, but lost the vehicle going northbound on 30th and market street. Reporter as the hunt continued, billboard alerts placed along the i95 corridor. And back at the initial crime scene, this plea from police. I would ask him to consider what hes already done and put an end to it and turn himself in. Lets get to Pierre Thomas tonight. Federal authorities are involved in this hunt tonight . Reporter thats right, david. Police all along the east coast, the atf, the fbi and the u. S. Marshals, all on the hunt for a man they believe is desperate. David . Pierre thomas leading us off from maryland. Pierre, thank you. We turn next here to an angry war of worlds tonight over one of the most solemn duties of the president , the commander in chief. Comforting the families of the fallen. A task rarely discussed, but the president brought it up this week, comparing himself to his predecessors. And now tonight, one of his own calls to this widow under growing scrutiny. Heres abcs senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega. Reporter Myeshia Johnson was there receive her husbands remains. Their 6yearold daughter by her side. Johnson, six months pregnant with their third child. As she went over sergeant la David Johnsons flagdraped coffin, she gave a last kiss. Just moments before, that phone call from President Trump. Myeshia johnson answered in the car and listening on speakerphone, her local congresswoman, democrat federika wilson. I heard him say, well, i guess you know he knew what he was signing up for, but it still hurts. And i couldnt believe that he said that. Reporter wilson says the president never mentioned Sergeant Johnson by name. He kept referring to him as your guy. He never called his name. So, that was even more painful. Reporter but today, President Trump disputes that. I had a very nice conversation with the woman, with the wife who sounded like a lovely woman. Did not say what the congresswoman said and most people arent too surprised to hear that. Reporter and on twitter, he said, democrat congresswoman totally fabricated what i said to the wife of a soldier who died in action. And i have proof. Sad. What proof does President Trump have when he says congresswoman wilson is not telling the truth. Are there recordings of his phone call with Myeshia Johnson . No, but there were several people in the room from the administration that were on the call, including the chief of staff, general john kelly. Reporter but Sergeant Johnsons mother said she, too, heard that phone call, and she confirmed wilsons account to the Washington Post, saying President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband. President trump started the firestorm himself with the false claim that past president s, including president obama, did not personally call the grieving families of fallen soldiers. The traditional way, if you look at president obama and other president s, most of them didnt make calls. A lot of them didnt make calls. I like to call when its appropriate, when i think im able to do it. Reporter he said hes called nearly every family. I have called, i believe everybody, but certainly ill use the word virtually everybody. Reporter there have been families that have since come forward to the associated press, their names are in these reports who say they have not heard from the white house in any capacity. All of the individuals that the president has been presented with through the proper protocol have been contacted through that process. Reporter today, while one leading republican insisted the president cares deeply about these families, he also said this this is not about how obama did it, versus how i did it, its about how we should all should do it. We should all say to every Family Member of the fallen, youre in our prayers, what can we do to help . So, going down the road of suggesting that president obama didnt do this, or didnt do that, i think just took us off base. Sceci ya, President Trump is facing new questions about another call he made, a promise President Trump made . Reporter david, this father says that President Trump promised him a 25,000 personal check during a phone call shortly after his sons death in june. Today, this father told the Washington Post that check has not yet arrived. Now, the white house tonight, david, is telling us that this check has been sent, they say, however, it is a complicated process for this president to mail personal funds, hence the delay. Cecilia vega with us tonight. Cecilia, thank you. We turn next here tonight to the health care whiplash. The president slashing 7 billion in subsidies meant to help working class families afford their insurance. Then, last night, supporting a bipartisan plan to save those subsidies for now. But tonight, it turns out, hes now against it. So, whats going on here . Heres abcs mary bruce. Reporter it was just a week ago when the president launched a crusade to dismantle obamacare, piece by piece. Then, that late night bombshell. The president cutting off 7 billion in subsidies that help lowerincome americans, people who make too much to qualify for medicaid, but still need help affording coverage. But the president argued, they were a bailout for insurers. People will have great, great health care. Reporter on the hill, a deal was already in the works. Late yesterday, an agreement to extend the payments another two years. The president optimistic. The solution will be for about a year or two years. Reporter this morning, the senator behind the deal praised the president for getting the ball rolling. I give him full credit for engineering this bipartisan agreement. Reporter but just minutes later, the president tweeting i am supportive of lamar as a person and also of the process, but i can never support bailing out Insurance Companies who have made a fortune with obamacare. Mary is live on the hill tonight. And the president this evening saying he is hoping for a bigger fix, but mary, some studying show that cutting billions in subsidies could actually add to the deficit . Reporter yeah, david. While the president and lawmakers continue to debate without these subsidies, the federal deficit is projected to increase by nearly 200 billion, and premiums for millions could rise. David . Mare rip bruce with us again tonight. We turn next here to the nfl. Late today, the nfl commissioner was asked about what the president has said. Is the nfl showing total disrespect for our country . Tonight, goodells answer to that. Heres abcs adrienne bankert. Reporter commissioner Roger Goodell taking the debate over nfl protests head on. We believe that our players should stand for the national anthem. Thats an important part of our game and our moments and we believe in that. Reporter but no new rules or penalties for those anthem protests. It comes after the nfl revealed it didnt ask players for a commitment to stand. The president this morning taking aim at the league. Tweeting, the nfl has decided it will not force players to stand for the playing of our national anthem. Total disrespect for our great country. The president this morning tweeted that both you and the league have disrespect for the country. Is he wrong about that, and if so, why . Well, as i just said, we respect our country, we respect our flag, we respect our national anthem. Reporter nfl officials also not saying whether the league would step in if an owner tried to discipline a player who refused to stand. Instead, committing to more talks. We believe doing the right thing is what you ultimately have to do. And i think listening to our players, understanding our players. Reporter late today, the president weighing in again. Too much talk, not enough action. Stand for the national anthem. Were not looking to get into politics what were looking to do is continue to keep people focused on football. Reporter goodell says only a handful of players are protesting, compared to a few weeks ago. Owners and players are scheduled to meet again within two weeks. David . Adrienne, thank you. Next this evening, if you thought the russians and their involvement ended with the selection, Authorities Say, not to fast. This evening, a new report about russias efforts to stir up racial conflict, right now, inside the united states. Heres abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross. Reporter a stunning claim tonight about just who is behind the group promoted in this music video, black matters u. S. Congressional investigators say black matters u. S. Was actually set up by the russians during the 2016 election to stir up racial tensions. Its not fair. I dont think its fair. Reporter the st. Louis rapper who wrote the music for the video says he got instagram messages from people he didnt know asking him write a song dealing with police brutality. I had no clue that it was russian or anything like that. No, sir, it messed me up. Reporter all part of a Sophisticated Campaign that included facebook ads, twitter posts and efforts to organize at least two big rallies, once again police brutality. U. S. Investigators believe it was directed from this socalled troll factory in st. Petersburg, russia. As a way to suppress votes and stoke fear a level of sew his case that i dont think we appreciated at the time. Reporter investigators say the russian factory also was behind these youtube videos, first reported by the daily beast, aimed at black communities, attacking hillary clinton. Hillary clinton is not our candidate. Reporter the speakers claimed to be in atlanta but investigators think they may actually be people hired by the russians in africa. And the russians remained busy, even after the election. Another Russian Group called black fist organized selfdefense classes, supposedly for protection against the police. Five american fitness trainers were hired to run them. They paid me 320 for the month, four classes. Reporter theyre taking advantage of people who really care about the community . Right. Its very sneaky, its very sneaky, its very underhanded. And, in fact, brian, the attorney general Jeff Sessions was asked today on capitol hill if he believes the u. S. Is prepared for what the russians continue to do. Reporter yes, david. He had a stark answer, probably not, he said, were not, he said. The midterm elections are just over a year away, and there is still no National Strategy to deal with the issue, david. Brian, youll stay on it. In the meantime tonight, attorney general Jeff Sessions was asked by members of the Senate Judiciary committee about the firing of james comey, and if the president ever mentioned russia as a reason. What did President Trump tell you was his reason for firing director comey. What i can tell you, he did ask for our written opinion and we sub milted that to him. Did the president ever mention to you his concern about lifting the cloud on the russia investigation . Senator feinstein, that calls for a communication that ive had with the president and i believe it remains confidential. We also learned today that the attorney general sexes hi s has not been interviewed by robert mueller. There is still much more ahead on world news tonight this wednesday.
