baltimore than have been discussed on news channels over the last week. these are problems that are decades in the making. they re complicated. because people tried to solve them before. but they certainly need attention, lest we lose a generation. the president working on that matter, as breaking news falls into our laps there on north at penn right in the epicenter of everything happening in baltimore over the past week or more. and now our own news crews there witnessed, as it s been kind to us dish wasn t there i can tell you what our reporters just reported this man, who is now an stretcher, was running down the street. police were rung after him. our people didn t hear whether there was something said. what they did see was one shot fired. that man down. a police officer shot this person apparently, and then mike tobin saw a gun on scene. we do not know the condition of the person who has been shot.
