The wheels locked up, and next thing i know, i was airborne. Dubois and an ark in a park leaves a flood of visitors i swear its the bible. I absolutely believe that. Dubois and criticism. Its clearly a religious point of view that says science is false. Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Dubois good evening. Scott is off tonight. Im maurice dubois. This is our western edition. The federal government is moving with unusual speed in the death of alton sterling. The Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation just a day after he was shot by the police in baton rouge, louisiana. The shooting was captured on video, and we caution you, it is graphic. David begnaud is in baton rouge. Reporter cell phone video shows a Baton Rouge Police officer taking 37yearold alton sterling down to the ground. A second video, just released, offers a much closer look. Here an officer is straddled over sterling, while a second officer appears to be kneeling o
Governors residence in indiana. That is the official home of the governor of in in and mike pence and his wife karen live there. And to have this extra bit of time forgetting to know each other, personal interaction. For the truchl children who have been key advisers and really ultimate gatekeepers for their father, knowing what they believe is in his best interest, what they want to see for the campaign and trying to find the right fit for a running mate. That kind of interaction is not something you see in every campaign cycle, but the trump kmirn play a prominent role. We can tell you it is also expected they have had this kind of meeting with others who were in finalist loop. We expect this kind of thing is in some ways constructive, actual part of the process, in other ways theres a bit of deflection that goes on where the Trump Campaign has tried to throw out a few shiny objects here and there to keep us all guessing. Trump spent the night in indianapolis after a rally in indiana
Citizens here, still feeling very pained about what happened yesterday. The local newspaper, the advocate, really says it all. This is how people feel. This was senseless. Prominently displayed the three Police Officers killed, brad garafol, Montrel Jackson, their service with the Baton Rouge Police community, one year to ten years. It was just yesterday morning, just down the street on this busy highway here, airline highway, where the suspect was seen carrying a long armed rifle. Now we now, an ar15, witnesses called in, Police Responded. Six officers hit. Three were killed. This community is trying to resume to some sort of normalcy here. We heard from Baton Rouge Police yesterday, saying already, police had felt depleted over the last 12 to 14 days, after the Police Involved shooting of alton sterling. And now this. You can hear the road behind me, people are trying to get back to some normalcy about a mile and a half away at the bequick, thats where the shooting took plalg place.
Secure that area. Stale very active scene. We also have reporting into nbc that one suspect who died was fatally shot by police was wearing black fatigues and armed with a rifle that. New information coming in. This as the Police Department in baton rouge is having to deal with the loss of at least three of their own with the governor at this hour, at the hospital meeting with the families as they are coping with that reality that their loved ones have died from this shootout. In my conversation with the mayor earlier today he said that initially there are reports of shots fired and according to other Law Enforcement they said there were other calls to 911 about a person dressed in black armed with a long gun walking the streets and soon after those reports of gunfire came in this area. The mayor also saying when police did respond they were met with an ambush style attack, in his words. But again, very tense situation in baton rouge. Given the fact that he has already been tense in th
Local hospital, but the mayor confirming that three other officers have been killed. We know that baton rouge has been the site of a lot of tension in recent days, following the shooting death of alton sterling. He had his funeral on friday, but we saw the protests pick up as late as yesterday outside the Police Headquarters. We dont know if these situations with directly remitted, but given what the mayor told us here at msnbc, these are possible shoot oers who wa who wanted to do harm and believes these officers were specifically targeted. Continuing this breaking news and following it here, also joining me from cleveland, is my colleague, ari melmelber, and i know you were talking to people and putting perspective in this. Tensions already high in places like baton rouge, dallas, minnesota and cleveland. We see security a top priority. Thank you for your supporting. Im here in cleveland where the political story is of course, the republican nomination starting tomorrow, but all eyes
