Suburb of berkeley. Thats just two miles from ferguson, missouri. But the details do not appear to mirror the case of Michael Brown who was unarmed when he was shot and killed by a ferguson officer back in august. I want you to take a look at some of the Surveillance Video that cnn has. It was recorded last night outside of the gas station in berkeley. Focus on the upper lefthand corner of your screen by that camera stamp 29. You can see right there, an arm raised, you can see an officer way over to the right inside that red circle. He backs away from the armed suspect. You can see the suspect stepping toward him before pointing his gun. Here is how the chief of police of st. Louis county described how this went down. The individual produced a pistol with his arm straight out pointing at the officer from kind of across the hood of the police car. At that point the sister produced his Service Weapon and fired what we think at this point was three shots. George howell is in berkeley, missouri, live at this hour. George, what are we learning about the suspect and this entire incident . Ashleigh, lets walk around this thing. Lets start with the family of antonio martin. This is a tragedy for them. They have lost a son on Christmas Eve. I spent time with them and theyre saying this if he was wrong, he was wrong. If he was right, he was right. Requests they just want to get as much information as possible and understand the facts. Lets talk about the Police Officer, an officer who we can see in the Surveillance Video was on a routine business check doing his job hes paid to do and basically in a position where hes confronted, hes face to face with a person pointing a gun at him. The officer from what we can tell, thats when the shots happened, thats where the video freezes right after that happens. Obviously the Police Department is looking into exactly what played out there. Now lets talk about antonio martin. From what we can understand, we see and its kind of hard to see, its in the corner of the screen but weve blown it up as best we can so we can show you. You see two people approach the car just a few minutes after that. Thats where you can tell a person is pointing something at that Police Officer. We heard just a few minutes ago, ashlei ashleigh, from the mayor of berkeley and he basically described the same thing. He said 80 to 90 of his Police Officers are paid to put their lives on the line. Theyre good Police Officers and he says in this case it seems that the officer was doing his job and was put in a position where he was basically confronted with a person pointing a weapon at him. However the mayor said his city, his Police Department is not doing to jump to conclusions. Take a listen to what he just said a few minutes ago in a new conference. We are a majority black officers in our city. The mayor is black, city manager is black, the finance director is black the police chief is black. In a city thats 85 black, we have a majority Police Department. Thats why i believe that we are different from the city of ferguson. The mayor of berkeley making the point that this investigation, the whole situation, is different. The situation, he says, that played out here ashleigh very different from what happened in ferguson. But, look, this is the epicenter of all the unrest weve seen. It started here in ferz with the death of Michael Brown so you can imagine people are very they want the facts. They want to understand what happened. George, im looking at a half dozen people over your Left Shoulder but the video from hours ago looked very intense. It seemed like it was only a couple hours after the shooting and there were protesters on site. It got ugly between the police and protesters. What about now . A lot more of the facts are filtering out, whats the mood there and are there protesters still coming to that gas station now that they know there was a gun pulled on the officer . We do see a couple of people out in front of the store. Its cut off by Police Officers. What we saw last night, yes, some 200 to 300 people to who showed up. And they basically wanted information. It got out of hand at times. We understand from police that three explosives were thrown, fireworks, it seems were thrown in different places. There was video captured of that. We understand that four people were arrested for assaulting a Police Officer. One of the officers was injured trying to get out of the way. All of this played out just after this happened but now the mayor described it best. He said look, last night when he was here he said it felt like i was in ferguson. Now we understand more about what happened and he says his department is going to look through the details thoroughly to make a conclusion on all of this. George howell reporting live from berkeley, missouri. Well continue to update you on the situation there. You heard george talk about the mayor in that live News Conference in which he distanced that town from what happened in ferguson and a Missouri State senator named maria chappellenadal has been on the front lines of the protests decrying the killing of Michael Brown but shes saying Something Different today. Shes calling for restraint for everyone this morning in response to what happened last night that Police Shooting in neerk berkeley. Have a listen. Well, first of all what we need to recognize not every case is the same. As we are looking across the United States there are young men who are targeted. There are people responsible for their own actions in this situation you have a young man who had a gun pointed an an officer and we need to recognize that as a fact. The officer felt as though he needed to protect himself. So while tensions are high we need to be respectful of what the facts are. Within minutes of last nights shooting you saw the protesters that flocked to the scene including some who were throwing bricks at the officers. This was the scene and its anything but calm. Apparently they also lobbed what appeared to be things bundled with fireworks within steps of a gas pump. So there is berkeley, missouri. Hours earlier, this is new york. Peaceful protesters who spilled into the streets to demand an end to what they call police brutality. In the meantime, despite the mayors request that demonstrators take a pause and wait for more protests until after the funerals of two officers who were brazenly gun downed, executed effectively, over the weekend. Joining me is a member of the new york city council. Councilor, thanks for coming in. When we wanted to talk to you about what we saw on the streets of new york we didnt expect what we were going to see late at night in missouri so before i get to the new york story with you i want to get to the missouri story with you. Characterize this as you see it because were seeing Civic Leaders coming out and telling a very different story than the ones weve heard before. Well, i think we and most who people who are dealing with this conversation responsibly we have to be careful about pretending that every Police Encounter is the same and no one has ever said that. We have to be careful of not noticing pattern and practice of unarmed black and brown men getting shot and killed. So we know Police Officers are out most of them to do a good job and do do a good job. I think what you saw here was i know officers dont like the word routine so i wont use that word but i saw officers going to follow up on a call. It looks like a young man had a firearm and pointed it at them. Thats a much different thing than what most of us have been arguing about. I think i heard someone refer to this as with the circumstance in berkeley last night, its a game change. Its what we tell police theyre supposed to do. I dont know about a game changer. Most of us know that these things happen. This is a real Police Action that have to happen. If your life is in danger. So i dont know about a game changer, most of us understand these things happen. What we have been talking about is something entirely different. I hear what youre saying. When i say game change, i mean for that instance. Because protesters showed up vierks lens ensued . Protesters showed up because of frustrations of other things, pattern and practice and frustrations of those things not being dealt with appropriate. I are police going to get a fair shake every time they go to bring a gun out if there is a bad guy and a weapon . Are they going to face people lobbing things at them for doing their jobs . Not withstanding the bad apples. If we have the conversation were supposed to happen, acknowledge a problem and move toward fixing it that becomes better. Is the conversation youre talking about what we saw on the streets of new york last night . Albeit peaceful protesters, a couple hundred of them at the time the mayor said it didnt feel right. We have two executed officers who arent even in the ground. So the speaker of the city council held a press conference and said similar things. I myself as a 38yearold City Council Member who represents a diverse district also said we might want to wait for a day or two or three. That doesnt mean and i said the protesters have to make their own decisions. That doesnt mean people who are angry not going to stay angry and push the conversation. As we are mourning the deaths of those assassinated cops, which we should, we have to remember emerald garner brought a flowtory the memorial site to say she knows what its like not to have a father. A mir rice, john crawford, we have to understand the humanity on both sides of this issue and make sure the conversation happens civilly and the people who understand that we want we respect our police and honor them, we also want better policing and have can v this conversation responsibly should be spushed to the forefront. The people who want to be hyperbolic should be pushed to the edges because they cant help us move forward. Jumji williams, thank you so much. I wish you the best.

Rosa flores has taken the assignment to laguardia airport. Shes standing in what looks like not a very busy place but im wondering always when i go to an airport at this time of year what those monitors say for the hundred million or so people traveling in some way. Bad news . Well, let me tell you something, travelers, there was one thing they did not ask for for christmas and that is snow in chicago and rain in the southeast and in the northeast. Why is that such a big deal . Thats where the airline hubs are so if the delays are there, they spread all over the country. You can see over my shoulder these monitors. We see them at every airport and right now theyre lighting like Christmas Trees and i dont mean in a good way. That means there are delays and cancellations. Here in laguardia, about ten canceled flights, not so bad. But lets look around the country and look at this misery map. I feel bad even saying the word misery on Christmas Eve. Look at those rings and i dont mean tiffany on christmas i mean misery rings are where these airports are the worst around the country. So you can see new york city, d. C. , atlanta. Chicago. Of course you heard me mention chicago, possible snow. Thats why the ring of misery has been getting wider and wider. All that means, folks, is that those people at that airport watching us at that airport are probably a little more miserable than other airports around the country because there are so many delays and cancellations there. But let me tell you something. As the day has progressed, ashleigh, ive seen those rings of misery move further and further west for obvious reasons. Thats good news if youre a skier because that means snow in the rockies if your flight can land and you can get a rental car. Ask your camera man if he can widen out the shot so i can see if theres a a crowd. It doesnt look very busy and laguardia should be a very busy place on Christmas Eve. Is it not . Ashleigh is asking me to widen out my shot so ill asking my photojournalist jamie to widen out my shot here. Usually, you know, its busier than that. You can see the gate behind me, people trickling in. Heres the trick at laguardia, ashleigh, youve probably experienced this a lot. A lot of the delays are on the tarmac. Ive left from laguardia many times and sometimes it takes me 45 minutes on the tarmac before my airplane is able to leave i dont have that point of sight right now but thats where i would think that most people are stuck. On planes. You know what i just saw over your shoulder, rosa . Something i see all the time at laguardia, a tsa agent smiling. Say Merry Christmas to them because i know theyre having a tough time roechlt a flores live at laguardia, thank you, looking very festive as well. Love the poinsettias.
