Theyre calling for peace and tranquility, no matter what that verdict is. I am praying the verdict is the right verdict, it is overwhelming in my view. I wouldnt say that unless the jury was sequestered now. Meanwhile, controversy continues over comments from Maxine Waters for protesters to get more confrontational if chauvin was acquitted which the judge said didnt provide reason for mistrial but could eventually be used for appeal. Congresswoman waters dismissed the suggestion she was calling for violence saying i am nonviolent. In the White House Briefing room minutes ago, press secretary jen psaki faced questions about it. Does the white house condone the congresswomans comments . Well, first, i would say again, the congresswoman clarified her own comments. Does the white house believe those kinds of comments are helpful in the middle of a trial Everybody Knows could lead to more violence and unrest . Again, i can speak to what the president s Point Of View is which is that it is i

Information. Authorities were warned about this suspects potential for violence in the past. We also know cops believe the gunman used a rifle. A home is being searched in connection with the suspected shooter and the sequence of last nights events are starting to be posed together. There was no confrontation with anyone that was there. There was no disturbance. There was no argument. He just appeared to randomly start shooting, and that began in the parking lot, and then he did go into the building, into the facility for a brief period of time. Before he took his own life. My understanding is that everything by the time that officers entered that the situation was over. The estimates that we have heard are just a couple minutes, that it was it did not last very long. Just a couple of minutes. And about the time its taken me to read this story, the gunman took eight lives. This Morning A Heart Wrenching scene as some of the workers reunited with loved ones.

Prove. Did they . Yeah, brianna. Big, big day. This will be the culmination of this trial that the world has really been watching for the last three weeks. The prosecution will close first. I think theyre going to start by bringing the jury right back to the events of May 25th Of 2020 outside of cup foods.

We know, based again from ms. Ross, that he was clean and sober for some time while they were in quarantine. We know that ms. Ross again described taking about a week before a similar pill to the one they had back in march. Kept her up again all night. She said she felt like she was going to die. We know, again, from ms. Ross, that those pills were purchased from mortys hall. She described going to the hotel while mr. Floyd, while george floyd was on the phone with him. She heard his voice. We know mr. Floyd was with Maurice On May 25, 2020. We know from the store clerk, he described mr. Floyd as being high. His responses were delayed. He may have been, you know, standing around. He may have been standing up. He may have been able to have communications, but mr. Martin clearly described him as be
