We have seen dozens and dozens of Corrections Officers boarding buses, those buses traveling to near by areas that are now being searched. Also there are multiple roadblocks set up in the area surrounding the prisons traveling 12 miles 12 miles we had to pass through three separate roadblocks. Authorities are not commenting on reports that a female employee at prison might have been an accomplice. The men made to it freedom crawling through a 24inch steam pipe and surfacing a block from the prison after removing a manhole cover. Somehow they were able to obtain power tools that made it possible for them to cut through a steel wall. Those who work at the prison are speculating the inmates who escaped must have had blueprints otherwise they would not have been able to find their way to freedom. New york governor says it was an elaborate escape plan. This was and i elaborate plot. If it was in a movie script would you have said it was overdone in a movie script. There are a lot of the questions about how they got the equipment primarily and thats something we are going to look into. Reporter new york state is now offering an unprecedented 100,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension of richard matt and david sweat. Both men are considered extremely dangerous. As you said just a moment ago making this search even more difficult is the proximity of the prison to the canadian border. We are about 22 miles to the border and there is concern the two men may have tried to cross the border. But authorities made it clear by their words and actions that they really have no idea where these men are. Perhaps well learn more when a News Conference takes place at noon today. Jon a News Conference regarding the shooting after man in suburban boston on a terrorism charge. Lets listen in as Police Release the video of that shooting. From the ongoing federal probe led to last weeks fatal encounter. Massachusetts law places responsibility for all death investigations with the District Attorney. Especially after events in other jurisdictions around the country, there always growing Public Interest in transparency and accountability when local state and federal Law Enforcement offices use lethal force. As a result, we have put in place a series of policies that far exceed whats required by law. Few of them are in place in other cities around the country and put them up against any other jurisdiction in the united states. This investigation is assigned to District Attorney patrick hagan. Together they will work with the Boston Police firearms discharge Investigation Team which draws senior investigators from the Boston Police Department Homicide unit and other specialized units as well as the shooting team from the f. B. I. Which came in from around the country after these events occurred. They also have similar specialized training. All the exacting steps we take in a traditional Homicide Investigation are brought to bear when police in boston and in Suffolk County use lethal force. Every scene is processed carefully and canvassed repeatedly. Every piece of evidence is documented and analyzed. Every witness is interviewed. Interviews are recorded. Every step investigators take is memorialized. If at the end of the investigation when we meet with the family of the deceased if they think more witnesses need to be interviewed well do that as well. The file typically runs to more than 1,000 pages with hours of recorded interviews, radio transmissions and Video Evidence. As prosecutors we then apply the relevant case law and a tiewts to this evidence and i determine whether criminal charges are required against the force involved or whether their actions were justified according to the law. This investigation is impartial and is based solely on the facts and the law. My office is independent the investigation is independent and the charging decision is independent. In every Fatal Police Shooting for more than a decade i have met with the family of the deceased to explain my charging decision in advance much it being released to the media then released the entire investigative file to them and their attorneys. Ill take that step in this case as well. As i have common in the past i meet with meters in bostons clergy and youth working communities, civil rights advocates and other community leadsers to explain the facts and evidence behind my charging decisions. Again i expect to take that step in this case. I opened the entire investigative file after the case is resolved for you the news media. Ill take that step in this case as well when this investigation is conclude. Every recorded interview every second relevant interview will be open for inspection. This policy of transparency is unparalleled elsewhere in the country. As those of you from boston know when we release this evidence at conclusion of an investigation rather than doing it piecemeal. But media and technology have take an investigation to an unprecedented level. It becomes easier than ever for rumor and inaccurate information to fill the vacuum if reliable facts arent put out rapidly. For this reason we agreed to release certain video evident earlier when it can help illuminate the facts and if doing so went compromise the integrity of the investigation. We have already seened this video to a limited audience. Primarily limited to these folks up to this reason. We prioritize the accuracy of witnesses and involved officers. We want their accounts to reflect their direct observations. We also want to allow the family of the deceased the opportunity to view the footage at the time of their choosing, not suddenly and without warning on tv or the internet. In this case the critical first witness interviews have been completed. We also met with mr. Rahims family and their attorneys thursday evening here at our office and the funeral as you know was friday. We agreed to hold release of this video until sometime over the weekend or monday and obviously today is monday. Well release this video to you publicly so that they had some time to process the loss that they have suffered. This sort of evidence may not available in every single case. Even when it is available its release may not appropriate if critical witnesses have not been interviewed and if identification is an issue or there is a strong likelihood that this evidence will go to granld grand jury. But making Video Evidence public is something we have done for more than a decade. We have done that at the end of the case. But releasing it earlier reflects our intention to make best practices even better. When it can inform the public about what happened and why its in everyones best tint share it as soon as it is possible to tamp down rumors and bad information. Finally i want to make this clear. This video you are about to see is simply one piece of evidence among many and this investigation is very active. I havent made any findings yet nor have i come to any legal conclusion. This is an exacting process and it requires careful analysis of all of the evidence in light of state and federal law. A great deal of work needs to be done and it will be done. And this process is too important to rush. I know the commissioner evans and special agent lissi agree on this point and ill ask them to say a few word. Well play the video and afterwards well provide you a link and you can broadcast it as you wish. With that i turn it over to special agent lisi. Good morning. Mr. Rahim had been under 24hours surveillance by the f. B. I. For some period of time. Tuesday morning we intercepted a communication that indicate he was about to carry out and i attack that day. Not long after that communication was intercepted he left his house and proceeded toward a bus stop. Our officers decided for Public Safety they had to approach him before he got on that bus. As the District Attorney said the f. B. I. Is carrying out a separate independent investigation of the shooting that day. Beginning last tuesday we had a team led by our f. B. I. Headquarters arrive here, i think 13 people in total showed up to conduct the investigation. Their investigation is geared toward looking at the use of deadly force on the part of our agent and whether that was in conjunction with the kept of justice policy. They will complete their report and provide it to the f. B. I. , the department of justice and the department of justice civil rights section to determine whether or not the use of deadly force was within the policy and whether our agent violated any civil rights. As the district said his investigation is completely separate. Our agents are cooperating fully with his investigation and our investigation. Thank you. Thank you. I just want to thank fbi agent lisi and District Attorney dean connelly for all their work. As special agent in charge has said this is a 4 7 surveil this is a 24 7 surveillance by the task force. We were kept in the loop leading up to this and all of us knew the plot as far as what was unfolding. I think no one could have anticipated what happened that particular morning. Obviously our officers when you watch the video obviously you will see and keep in mind they know in their mind the intent of the individual who is proceeding across the parking lot. When they approach him with having no guns, you are going to see the video unfold and quickly see how they are back up, the threat become imminent and the result are necessary. There is obviously a double intent here. There are questions asked about why didnt the officers use any other force. This guy had a malicious intend and our officers were faced with that both the f. B. I. And the boston. The video will speak for itself. But i think we averted a serious tragedy on that day and i cant say enough about the great work the f. B. I. Agents and the Boston Police did that day preventing a tragedy and keeping the city of boston safe. At this point im going to turn it over to pat to show the video and im sure well have some questions afterward. Just to give some perspective and context of what we are looking at. This is a surveillance camera at the burger king. Its affixed to the burger king. This is washington street. Just to give some context and perspective. This is headed inbound upon washington street toward the forest hills station. This direction is street head outbound, the next crossstreet the west roxbury parkway. Jon what you are about to see is a videotape surveillance camera capture of the scene that happened last Tuesday Morning in suburban boston when a 26yearold man named usaama rahim who had been under surveillance on a terror investigation had an encounter with an f. B. I. Officer and Boston Police officer in a parking lot. His family said he was shot in the back, that he was talk on his cell phone. Police say it didnt happen that way. We are about to see the actual chain of events that happened that way as this terror suspect who was armed with a knife police say they came at them with the knife, ignored officers orders to stop. Thats the video you are about to see. Im pausing the video here. What you will next see is a series of Law Enforcement officers, f. B. I. Agents as well as one Boston Police detective that have come from this area of parked cars here and approached mr. Rahim. Ill stop the video to clarify the yellow circle is around mr. Rahim. Yellow circle in this video will remain and mr. Rahim until the actual shooting takes place. At that point the circle will disappear and reappear after mr. Rahim is shot. Jon these are the events of last Tuesday Morning in the cvs parking lot in boston as a man who is the center after terror investigation was shot and killed by an f. B. I. Agent and a Boston Police officer. You are watching the release of this video for the first time. It is grain crane obviously difficult to see exactly what transpired there. Police say they pulled their weapons, one fbi agent one boston privilege pulled their weapons on 26yearold usaama rahim. He had been under Police Observation and surveillance for quite some time in connection with a terror investigation. We dont know a great deal about it other than that. But they got word that morning as we heard the District Attorney say they got word that morning that some part of their plan was about to be acted upon, so when they saw usaama rahim when they saw him going to a bus stop they decided to talk to him before he actually board the bus. Instead they say he pulled a knife, they pulled their service revolvers. He came at them with that knife two shots were fired one by an f. B. I. Agent and one by a Police Officer and usaama rahim was killed. Patti ann the battle for higher wages is about to take a new turn.

A hip hop concert at the meadowlands take a rowdy turn. Some fans try to gate crash. Police use tear gas to disperse the crowds. They made a number of arrests. Jon there are new reports the obama you administration could increase the salary threshold regarding overtime. So the president is not able to arbitrarily raise the minimum wage by himself but he can issue an executive order that basically says more people will qualify for overtime. Do i have that right . This is a rule that hasnt been updated since 1975. But the threshold is if you make 23,000 a year or more, you dont get overtime if you go over that 40hour workweek. So the Labor Department is look at increasing that threshold. If you make 30,000 or 40,000 or 50,000 a year you have basically click into overtime pay. Obviously you have a lot of business interests on capitol hill. Republicans are using some of the same arguments they used against obamacare that is basically going to be a job killer. Jon an employer has a certain amount of money to spend. If hes going to spends more money paying overtime, the money has to come from somewhere. President obama says this hasnt kept up with inflation. This is a rule that hasnt been touched in decades. Im not going to get way want on minimum wage so ill try to suits powers of the executive that he has been increasingly using during last two years of his presidency. Economic inequality is become an issue. You see both sides of the aisle increasingly talking about. Jon governor Martin Omalley and Bernie Sanders both like this idea. Has she take and position on it, to your knowledge . I dont think she has taken a position on it. It will be hard to extract a position out of her on this, i dont think. This will be one of the issues in the democratic debate now that we have announced candidates like Bernie Sanders who is attracting big crowds in iowa andn hampshire. Martin omallly, they are all talk about higher wages. This will put Hillary Clinton against the Business Leaders who do like her and those who want higher wages for employees who do the service jobs and work in fast food restaurants. Well have to wait and see what she says on this. Jon what about the overall republican response . So far they have pointed to this saying it isnt the issue. We should focus on job growth, its a side issue and the president is usurping Congressional Authority to enact his agenda. But they havent been that vocal onon the the specifics of the issue.
