Typically started some random shooting outside the facility. There was no confrontation with anyone that was there. There was no disturbance. There was to 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. Reporter we know authorities are serving Search Warrants and looking for more information on this individual. While they have not named him officially so far, cnn has learned through a few different Law Enforcement sources that this was an individual known to state, law and local Law Enforcement officials that a Family Member called in a warning to them that this individual had a propensity for violence, there was an investigation open, but at some point the fbi closed that investigation saying there wasnt enough information to continue it. Its not clear why it was closed but then this happened so im sure they will go back and look at it all again. Right now the City Of Indianapolis and this part of indianapolis, this massive landscape of warehouses in this area now trying to grapple with americas latest mass shooting. Thank you. Police say they do not know the motive for the shooting. We are learning federal authorities were warned about the suspect. This is what miguel alluded to. Lets go to cnn senior justice Correspondent Evan Perez with more. What do you know about this gunmans history . Thats exactly what i think the investigation is focused on, as we try to figure out what the motivation was. We are looking at that previous contact miguel talked about. At some point a Family Member called authorities to notify them that there was some concern about the behavior of this suspect, the suspected shooter and raised concern about the potential violence. So the local authorities and fbi both investigated. The fbi opened a preliminary investigation and then closed it, it appears, because it was determined there was not enough evidence to continue that. The question, and what theyre going through now, is there something that was missed at that point. As you know, theres a lot we have a lot of shes shootings in this country and so a lot of times you go back and you see what, perhaps, the agents may have done at that time that may in retrospect have been done differently. Thats the process going on right now. We know, as miguel pointed out, theres the search of an address associated with the suspected shooter. Theyll talk to Family Members and look through social media, look through the devices to see if he left behind anything to explain why this happened. It may turn out to be a mix of motivations. Again, theres some indication that there was some concern from a Family Member in the past about him. So, well see whether there is something more recent that has come forward. At this point, brooke, though the fact these things keep happening and these things are difficult, these investigations are very difficult to do, especially if someone hasnt done something at that point. Let me close one right here by saying were going to miss you. I know this is your final show here. Its sad that yet again were dealing with Something Like this. But this is how this is how things are these days. I know. When i woke up this morning and knowing it was my last day, i couldnt believe it. Although i should believe it because this is what happens in america. Evan perez, i love you. Thank you very much for all of that. Now to the latest on this Deadly Police shooting. Chicago police say less than one second past between the time 13yearold adam toledo was seen holding a gun and the time this officer shot him and ultimately killed him. New Body Cam Video released from the Chicago Police department shows the moment this officer made the splitsecond decision to shoot this 13yearold after police say the teen was seen holding a gun at the end of this chase. This happened end of march. The video also shows toledo raising his hands an instant before a single bullet is fired, hits him in the chest. Cnns ryan young joins us now with the very latest from chicago. Ryan, what do you know . Reporter brooke, clearly a lot of questions about this shooting. This policeinvolved shooting here in chicago. Theres also a lot of mistrust between the community and the police department. So, you understand that when the Police Released this video and said the teen had a gun, there were people who still didnt believe it. The police did their Due Diligence in releasing video. You can see the spot shadow in which they say the teen had a gun in his hand when the officer confronted him. This all started a few weeks ago when a Shotspotter Technology heard gunshots in a neighborhood in chicago. It was eight gunshots recorded. The officer arrived to the scene to know that he was looking for somebody who obviously had been opening fire somewhere. He engaged with the teen. It was about 19 seconds from the chase to when the shots were fired. It was a splitsecond decision. The family attorney doesnt believe the officer had to fire that falts shot because they believe the teen had already discarded the gun when that shot was fired. Still a lot of questions in this city. On top of that, you have protesters who are taking to the street. Last night less than 100 protesters. Theres a belief that larger protests could be scheduled for tonight. All across michigan avenue, businesses have started boarding up. They hired extra security just in case because we had violent protests last summer you. You understand there are some people who are worried about what could happen. At the end of the day, adam toledo, a 13yearold, shot and killed by the police department. Not a lot of easy answers in this case. Wannot at all. Thank you for that reporting. We have new details and how the cities of minneapolis and Brooklyn Center are preparing for the weekend after the death of daunte wright. Even as the u. S.

For a fifth straight night protesters peacefully took to the streets in minnesota over the deadly shooting of daunte wright. It all happened hours after kim potter, the now former police officer, charged with seconddegree manslaughter in wrights death, made her first Court Appearance. Her next court date is set for may. Adrian is live for us in Brooklyn Center. How is the city preparing going into the weekend, adrian . Reporter here in Brooklyn Center and beyond, members of the National Guard will be seen overnight in the surrounding communities. Lets take minneapolis, for example. National guard troops have been or members have been stationed there at least for the past few nights around the third precinct, which is one of the precincts which is in downtown minneapolis. The third precinct we know burned. Nevertheless, the guard will be on standby as we head into the weekend. People from the Community Still plan to stand up for what they call justice. This after kim pot earn was charged with seconddegree manslaughter. She made her initial Court Appearance yesterday. It lasted less than five minutes. During that paring, the reading of the criminal complaint was waived and Daunte Wrights mother was watching from a device, and this is what she had to say. I was on a zoom call y watch. And she waved into the camera. When they asked if she was present. That made my heart break ten times more into a million pieces. I felt anger, i felt sadness, i felt lost and i felt helpless, and i dont want to feel helpless. I need my son to have justice along with everybody elses sonsnsnsnsnsnsugereople who are murdered by the police. Reporter and protesters are echoing the message that wrights family has repeated day after day since his killing. They want potter charged with more serious charges. There was a sign hanging on the fence that keeps people away from the police department. It says, bring it said, bring charges against kim potter. Specifically murder. I want to tell you something weve seen out here today. Members from the Community Engaging with the National Guard. Theyre off to my right side. It seems some folks from the community have built a relationship with the National Guard members. They were playing rock, paper, scissors and talking. While these fences are up to keep them away, some protesters are finding a way to get to them and talk. Brooke . Community engagement is so needed. Thank you for pointing that out. Thank you for your reporting. Just down the road there, minneapolis, we may be day as way from learning the fate of derek chauvin, the former Minneapolis Police officer charged in the death of george floyd. After Closing Arguments, all eyes turn to the jury as we wait for their verdict in this case. Derek chauvin is facing multiple charges. Seconddegree manslaughter, thirddegree and seconddegree unintenti unintentional murder. That final charge bringing with it up to 40 years behind bars. Coming back is elie, and charles ramsey, and former police commissioner, former chief metropolitan police in d. C. Chief ramsey, i want to start with you here. This is all happening in minneapolis, against the back drop of all of theets other shootings. I know the jury is not yet seque sequestered. How could all of whats swirling affect them and the outcome of this trial . Well, i hope not. I know thats a big concern of everyone and the judge has been very clear, asking them not to watch the news and so forth. Lets hope that theyre able to not have it affect their decision on the chauvin case. It is tough. You have a lot going on now between brooklyn and between minneapolis, you have Police Stations being fenced off with rhoadeser wire around. I mean, its these times are just absolutely crazy that were living in right now. They are. They are. Final arguments. Elie, monday, Closing Arguments. What do you expect is the driving message from each side . If you think back to opening arguments two and a half weeks ago, i think people were surprised how straightforward, nondramatic they were. Thats the nature of opening arguments. Closing is different. They are more dramatic, lawyers can be argumentative where theyre not in argumentative. I look for more fireworks. The key in any closing is focus. As the prosecutor, you are saying, focus on this defendant. They will say, focus on that 9 29. The defense really, i dont say this in a deg roderogatory way,n something else. Focus on the Carbon Monoxide, focus on the bystanders. All the defense is trying to do is create reasonable doubt. I think this is going to be a really Heat Exchange of Closing Arguments and then it will be in the jurys hand. You mentioned Carbon Monoxide. Ill come back to you. Commissioner, we know the defense hammered home three arguments. George floyds drug use and Underlying Health issues, the, quote unquote, hostile crowd of bistanders. In your opinion, and we cant kroul into the hearts and minds of the jury, but how strong was their case . They talked about everything except nine sxhits 29 seconds. Thats the problem. How can you use that force for that long a period of time against an individual whos not struggling . I mean, that is going to be a huge mountain for the defense to overcome because you have to keep going back to that and to think that action did not significantly contribute to the death of george floyd, even though, yeah, he had heart disease. Yeah, he had drugs in his system. He had all that. Maybe he inhaled carbon mo monoxide, who knows. But do you honestly think kneeling on his neck for 9 29 did not distribucontribute to t of death . It would be hard to believe that this whole thing could come down to Carbon Monoxide in George Floyds system. As you have pointed out time and time again, all it takes is doubt to creep into the mind of one juror. Elie, was that a miss for the prosecution . Well, i think the prosecution actually ended up coming out of that piece okay because if you remember, on the crossexamination of the defense witness, dr. Fowler who gave us this Carbon Monoxide theory, they got him to admit the prosecutor said, do you have any data behind that . Hang on. Were going to see the president with the japanese Prime Minister just into us. We have had some private time together, lunch and tea, and its great to have him with us. As you know, this is the first foreign leader to visit me in my presidency. And im really pleased to welcome such a close ally and good partner. The United States and japan have a big agenda ahead of us. We are two democracies in the Pacific Region and our cooperation is vital, in my view, on both our views, to meeting the challenges facing our nation and ensuring the future of the region that remain free and open and prosperous. So, im looking forward to speaking with the Prime Minister and our teams are tackling a shared agenda. We are ready to get to work. So, welcome, mr. Prime minister. As we say in the body i used to work in the United States senate, i yield the floor to the Prime Minister. Its all yours, yoshi. Translator thank you very much. Thank you for accepting me as the first foreign leader under your presidency. My deepest gratitude to you. And yesterday there was a shooting in indianapolis i heard and causing much casualty. I would like to express my condolences to the victims and my sympathies to the families. Innocent citizens must not be exposed to any such violence. Freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law are the universal values that link our alliance that is prevalent in the indopacific. This is the very foundation of prosperity and stability of the region and the globe. And the importance of such values has heightened to unprecedented level. And upon my visit to the United States, i wish to reaffirm the new and tight bond between us and in order to realize a free and open indopacific, there are many common challenges as well as emerging global issues including covid19 and climate change. I wish to spend time with you to, again, confirm the close ties between our two countries. Again, thank you for accepting us. Just listening in on any questions. This is significant. You see it on your screen. This is the first facetoface meeting President Biden has had with a foreign leader at the white house. Just wanted to note that.

Russia is retaliating against President Bidens latest sanctions on moscow for election interference and that massive hack known as solarwinds. Lets get to cnns kylie atwood. What is russia doing and whos on the riis list . Reporter brooke, we were expecting this. Russia said the United States was going to pay a price for all the tremendous costs we saw the Biden Administration impose on russia yesterday. Now were seeing just the beginning, perhaps, of what theyre going to be doing. There are u. S. Officials who being sanctioned by the russian government. They wont be allowed into the country because they are added onto this list. I want to go through that list with you because these are some very highranking Biden Administration officials. So, it starts with Measure Rick G merrick garland, michael carvajal, alejandro mayorkas, susan rice, domestic policy adviser, former u. N. Ambassador during the obama administration. Christopher wray, the fbi director and avril haines, director of National Intelligence for the Biden Administration. This a tremendous list. These are some of the highest ranking officials in the Biden Administration who are going to be doing things such as looking at u. S. russia relations. Avril haines will be collecting everything the u. S. Government knows about russia. She was integral to the process that led up to what we saw the Biden Administration do yesterday with those sanctions, with expelling diplomats. We should also note, brooke, the russians are also saying they are going to be expelling u. S. Diplomats from russia and they are also suggesting that the u. S. Ambassador there, ambassador sullivan, he is a holdover from the trump administration, theyre suggesting that he returns to washington for consultation. So, were waiting to see if hes actually going to do that. Were waiting for a response from the Biden Administration. Brooke . Let us know about that response when it happens. Kylie, for now, thank you. Michigans governor is facing pressure to put strict covid restrictions back in place in her state amid the alarming surge in new cases and increasing numbers of more transmissible covid variants fueling are a surgery. Hospitalizations have also increased. Some hospitals near 95 capacity. With me now, dr. Rob davidson, Emergency Room Physician there. You know, you live, you practice in more rural michigan. Tell me the story of your e. R. , how bad is it . Yeah, first, brooke, i want to thank you for the past year that weve been able to have these conversations. You and your team have helped me grow as a Public Health and health care communicator. Appreciate awhat youre doing. Thank you. Its tough. Its tough. I just got done working another shift, first of four. We are routinely admitting or transferring nearly a dozen patientses in a small hospital, i think we transferred a dozen out yesterday. At least half of those folks have are had covid positive, amongst the people were seeing, at least 50 or more. Some are reporting ten out of ten for a shift theyre getting positive for covid. So, its been a challenge. We are in a fourth wave, no doubt. And here in rural michigan, the circumstances make it a little tougher. Let me just echo that sentiment and thank you for all the work you have been doing and are doing. I know its a long day when i have a dr. Rob live shot in the car. Thank you for that. Lets talk about vaccinations. Pfizer is saying recipients of its vaccine will likely need a booster within six to 12 months after folks are fully vaccinated. So, do you think covid shots will be needed annually for the foreseeable future . I certainly think a booster will be needed. Its hard to say if this is a virus thats with us, that becomes endemic, and then its just an annual type thing. Were hopeful that we can stomp this out enough, drive down the transmission enough to eventually wipe out the virus. Thats what Herd Immunity will do for us. If we can ever get to Herd Immunity, yes, the folks that do get immunized will have to get something periodically. Maybe every year. If thats the case, i trust that i know myself, my family will be doing that. I hope as many people as possible will do that as well. You mentioned, too, a second ago about this were now in this latest surge, but yet just help us understand because we know millions of people now are being vaccinated every day. So, why are we seeing this uptick in cases . Well, here in michigan specifically, we have a ton much variants. The b11. 7 originated in the uk. They think thats up to 70 of the cases when they do the genomic testing. We have a group of parents protesting at the high school, pounding on the door because they dont want their kids to play masks when they play sports. They are the same group resistant to getting vaccinations. I say, thats great. I would love it if none of this were happening, but it is. So, we have to try to convince people to do whats right. Our governor has done everything right from the beginning, as near as i can tell. Its a nearly Impossible Task here. This state is unique. We have the Republican Legislature who sued her to take away her powers. I know theyre trying hard to get more vaccines in arms to get enough people to follow the Public Health guidelines has proved to be nearly impossible. Appreciate all youre doing. Keep fighting. Thank you. Dr. Rob davidson, great to see you. Great to have you on. Byebye. As the world prepares to say goodbye to Prince Philip tomorrow, we have new details on the royal funeral. That is next.

It will be a Toned Down Affair By Royal Standards but Queen Elizabeths husband of 37 years might have preferred it that way. Max foster joins us live from win windsor, england. What are the plans for tomorrow . Reporter its interesting, isnt it, because despite all these restrictions, ultimately, as you say, Prince Philip will get what he wanted. Will get the order of service but later on he defined that order of service. He defined what military traditions he wanted to be adisplay tomorrow. It will all be there but it will be slimmed down. He didnt want the big state funeral. Ultimately it would have sued him. One of the most poignant things well see tomorrow is the chapel with just 30 members of the congregation for this Massive National event. Youll see the queen sitting there on her own, grieving her husband of 73 years. I think thats going to be a really poignant moment. But it will in many ways feel like a celebration of a really long and rich life, brooke. As they tomorrow celebrate this long and rich life, and just given the fact that youve reported so much recently in the wake of that meghan and harry interview and this royal rift, how has the family been dealing with all of that . Reporter well, you know, i think its there. I think it is a tension, and i think theyre trying to deal with it. But what they dont want tomorrow to be is an analysis of the tensions between harry and william. Theyve dealt with that in a couple of ways. Nothing official, but, uyou kno, you can see whats happening here. One is theyll all be wearing civilian suits because harry has been stripped of his title and he wont be able to wear a military title. Is it fair hes one of the only well, theres two of them with andrew, but two people who served in conflict not wearing a military suit. It would have been very odd. Also youll see william and harry in the same line in the procession but separated by peter phillips. I think that was, again, a way of dispelling all the tension that would have been on that very tense relationship. Max foster, thank you. I know well be seeing you tomorrow.

Im Brooke Baldwin. Thanks so much for being here. Wow, you guys. Okay. I got this. I got this. Deep breath. Deep breath, brooke. Okay. Let me let you in on a little secret. This job, my show here on cnn was not originally supposed to be mine. More than a decade ago there was an anchor suddenly departed cnn leaving this gaping hole in the afternoons and the then bosses quickly turned to me and they were like, brooke, were going to need you to keep the seat warm just for a week until we actually find the person who will take over this show. Okay . Well, guess what. Ive kept the seat warm for nearly 11 years. You and i have witnessed history together from Marriage Equality to this pandemic from the womens march to me, too, from natural disasters to, again, senseless shootings and now we wait. We wait for the justice in a trial Where Another Black Man in america has died at hands of police. This job using my voice for over a decade has been nothing short of a profound privilege so to you at home, thank you, thank you for trusting me. Thank you for holding me accountable, and thank you for all of the love. Im telling you. Im reading every single one of your dms, send them on and to you, my cnn family, my cnn huddle. This is the hardest part. Thank you for making me better. Thank you for pushing me. Thank you for believing in me and my big backflip off the high dive today. You know, a decade ago i didnt even know this show would become mine, and now a decade later i find myself in a similar situation, not totally knowing whats next, and im okay with that because what i do now is that i am a journalist and a storyteller for life, and lastly im leaving this place even better than i found it. Im borrowing a line from the leader of the u. S. Women National Team as told to me by Megan Rapinoe when i recently interviewed her for my book huddle and she said it started with mia hamm and abby wambach and fighting for whats fair and right and equal for the next generation of womens soccer players. These women when they left the team, they would urge the remaining players to leave the team better than they found it, and so here i am in relating it to journalism, let me tell you something. When i saw all of those women recently one after another after another, these white house correspondents for tv and print standing up to ask President Biden a question at his very first press conference, let me just say i was sitting in my office. I was on my feet cheering them on, so many women, black, white, brown, progress. We do need Diverse Voices telling our stories from in front of the camera and to the executive suites.
