member has just told associated press that los angeles school threat is now officially believed to be a hoax. associated press is alerting this across all of its platforms. you re probably getting it on your phone now. the question is how to react to this and what this decision taken today means for tomorrow and the next day and next week and next month. for not only l.a. school system but for school systems across the nation because there is no question these threats do come in. they come in according to new york officials mostly on a daily basis. each one is evaluated on its own and whatever decision you make affects the lives of hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of people. and that decision will have an effect on the next decision that s made. and so often authorities tell us when a bomb threat is called in of this kind, when this sort of thing happens, it makes people more hesitant to make these decisions in the future. the reason the breaking news alert thing keeps goi
and it to be difficult in this climate in baltimore without question. correct, a lot of political pressure for a conviction and all the other five defendants, all cops, waiting in the wings. judge andrew napolitano, thank you. another breaking news update. a warning of a gunman near the campus of indiana university, purdue university in indianapolis, reported that the local nbc station is reporting it appears to have been an armed robbery. now, police are telling us that there is no gunman on campus and that that robbery happened near, not on campus, as we reported. they tell us the university sent out the warning to be on the safe side. so when this robbery happened, the gunman apparently ran towards this university campus. the university campus was made was made known this, and then warned students to stay in place. now, the authorities are saying fear not. of course, it s nothing but fear across los angeles as they have shut down the city s schools in wake of what was deem
one has been released, but i think that s a call to be made by the officials in los angeles. particularly the school board. and if asked, your council would be yes to release it, with sunshine as a disinfectant, or otherwise? i don t see a reason not to release it, but i would want to consult with a number of law enforcement authorities before releasing one are two of the details that are in it. congressman brad sherman, member of the foreign affairs committee, former chairman of the subcommittee on terrorism, and with us from washington. sir, thank withdryou very much. thank you. there s much more to learn, obviously. we just learned a lot, but there s a lot more to come after this. i accept i m not the rower i used to be.. i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib,
some of the hardest, most difficult decisions i ever made, fully understanding the consequences of making a bad decision not passing something along and then god forbid the worst occurs. there s no recovering from that. so these are i have sympathy and empathy for the officials in los angeles, and i also you have to factor in, shep, factor in what happened in san bernardino. they re human beings. they re affected by what happens to them. they try to make the best decision they can. in this instance, especially if the fbi told them the information was not credible, i would second guess their decision, but, again, i m very sympathetic to them. well, we always have tomorrow, and then we have the next day. and similar credible or incredible threats that are sure to come. is there a danger that closing down schools and creating a news cycle of this creates dangers for locals that didn t exist in
california said on the air a little while ago the los angeles e-mail was different. he s urging them to release that e-mail or did so on our air. we ll see what happens with that. i m sure it s not a matter of second guessing as much as for parents and people in the los angeles area and beyond, to make a decision about whether the decision that was taken was in the best interest of the people who were affected by it because each decision, one to act and one not to act, each has consequences in and of itself. yeah, and the parents that we re talking to, you know, everyone is saying, you know, if that s the problem, we need to shut down the schools. so there s not a lot of second guessing among parents. but, you know, they re realizing they re going to have to have a very long, important, big discussions with their children now and, you know, and the parents, themselves, are very scared. all right. well, it s very nice to talk to you, christopher weber with the associated press in
