It was not used in previous blasts. Nevertheless, police say they are acting as if this new bombing is connected. The mayor will join me life in a moment. Ed lavandera with the details. What are you learning . Reporter good morning, john. Authorities here still urging residents within a close proximity to where this explosion took place to remain indoors. Weve seen dozens and dozens of atf and fbi agents descending on this neighborhood, beginning that process of combing through the crime scene here. Authorities were waiting until the sun came up to begin that process. And we heard a little bit of the First Responders radio scanner traffic as we heard from those First Responders and the medics that arrived here on the scene late last night, just after that explosion had taken place and it was really one of the first indications there had been this trip wire involved. Take a listen to some of that radio scanner traffic now. Were transporting a 22yearold male patient. Thats affirmative. C

Back. Contradicts the narrative that has been put forth by the police. The white house not happy with scott pruitt over his controversial living arrangements and his security detail.

Im victor blackwell. Good saturday to you. Were starting this morning with the shocking new video of Alton Sterlings final moments and also the officer who shot and killed him. We know he has been fired more than a year and a half, nearly two years after pulling that trigger. July 5th, 2016, when sterling, a black man, was shot six times by a white officer. The officer responding to a call about a man with a gun. You might remember the cell phone video ignited outrage just hours after sterlings death.
