what does the dash cam add to this? reporter: it gives us an indication of what happened in the early moments of this confrontation. while police will tell you there is no such thing as a routine traffic stop. officer slaying were pulled over walter scott for having a burned out brake light. the two cars pull into a park lot. sharing asks him for his license, registration and understand card. scott says he s buying the car from a neighbor monday. he don t yet have the paperwork. while sharing is running his driver s license scott tries to get out of the car to say something to sharing. slager yells at him to get back inside the vehicle. but then scott decide to bolt
knxv. who is continuing to cover this. you see they re core raled right here with what appears to be a field of some sort near a park lot. lots of people moving, in closing in on them. stay with me here as the image goes in and out just a little bit. but it s just a bizarre scene. and they keep getting away from these guys who are trying to catch them. moving slowly. we ll see here if they re able to get them. but nope sure enough that s what happens. i mean the hope here of course is you don t want anybody to get hurt or these animals to get injured, which is why it s so important for them to get ahold of these animals. no word at this point where they came from. but sun city arizona is not far from phoenix. so this isn t necessarily a rural area where these farm animals, ranch-type animals are out and about.
yesterday, leaving three people dead and over 15 wounded. casey stegall is live at fort hood in texas learning brands new details about the shooter, who he was and what may have caused him to go off. reporter: that s exactly right. i want to point out that we are at the main entrance to fort hood, the gate right back here behind me. you can see in the background a lot of the press is set up here because we anticipate that at some point this morning there is going to be a press conference with public affairs officials here at fort hood with another update for us. but that time has not been determined. we ve been trying to reach out to them to nail that down. it is still unclear right now. also what is unclear, what the motive was, what on earth caused this man to open fire on his fellow soldiers yesterday. what we do know, however, is his identity, 34-year-old army specialist ivan lopez, who was a military truck driver. he had spent some time in iraq

firearms and people like john lott, whose son, whose son was at fort hood last night says yeah. we should have that capacity. the federal law should be changed. okay. so it s a federal law, which means there are a lot of members of congress watching now, if they re looking at our military as sitting ducks, congress should change the law. congress could change this immediately. we ve heard so much finger pointing and nothing done. you remember the president s folks in the pentagon characterized fort hood in the context of workplace violence. you talked about that earlier, as you also pointed out, if it was workplace violence and this is workplace violence, what steps have been taken in the almost five years to ensure that this kind of attack does not take place? so we had fort hood one. then we had the navy yard shooting that claimed a dozen or more lives, and now we have the
