The Philadelphia Police scariest things he has seen a gunman ambushed a Police Officer as he sat in his car, shooting him three times. The suspect told them he did it, quote, in the name of islam and pledged his allegiance to isis. And chris cato joins us. Thats amazing that he survived. Unbelievable, linda when you see the chilling images here. Can you see how close he was. He chased and shot the suspect. The images are chilling. He ran up to the car as they were stopped at an intersection, firing as he approached. He stuck the gun through the window of the patrol car and kept firing. He was hit in the arm. Listen to the audio of the radio call for help. Shots fired. Im shot, im bleeding heavily. All cars stand by. The officer jessie hartnet was hit three times. He got out, chased the shooter, returning fire and gave the dispatchers the location that allowed others to converge and catch the suspect. He is a 30yearold man named edward archer. He confessed saying he did it, quote in the name of islam and he pledged his allegiance to isis. According to him he believed that the Police Defend laws that are contrary to the quran. No one believes that islam or the teaching has anything to do with what you see on the screen. Thats the mayor speaking. The suspects mother said he is a devout muslim and he has been hearing voices in his head. She said that he felt like he was being targeted by the police. He does have a criminal record and was actually out of prison on parole after pleading guilty to charges of simple assault and carrying a gun illegally.

A lot of damage and they expect him to recover it will be a long process for that brave Police Officer in philadelphia. Cynthia. I cannot believe he was able to get out and chase that guy. The door may be cracking open for the rays. And they may get a chance to survey the bay area for a chance to build a stadium. They cannot do that under the terms of the lease with the city. And next week the council may punch a loophole in the lease. They can have a look at tampa. Since this begs for metaphors lets keep your eye on the ball, not that one, the field, this that piece of property is fairly unique in the country. The mayor is crafted an agreement with the rays that among other things, it gives the team three years to explore sites for a new stadium in pinellas and hillsborough counties. Two attempts to amend the ironclad lease have failed. This version does not cost the team much money to break the lease but while theyre looking around, the city will be shopping the land to developers. If the rays stick around, they get half the cash. Now you have a pot of money that you can see that can be utilized for them to off set their costs in building a stadium. Thats a big deal. By some estimates it may have a 200 million head start. Where do you find the money. Half a billion t is a lot of money, the answer is i dont know. And the mayor will be part of the team and willing to try to recognize that it literally is extortion, we get that. But first the council has to let the rays start looking. They will vote next week and the deal may fly. The thinking in the community has changed. Many people are worried about this taking up so much air in the community when there are so many problems that need to be dealt with. The rays. At this point were eager to see where it goes n st. Pete, steve nichols, fox 13 news. If the Council Approves the deal st. Pete and the rays would split the cost of planning how to redevelop the property. Two versions with and without a new stadium.

Thats consistent with the showing and he is winning among the republicans. But he is doing better among the registered independents, 36 , 43 of registered democrats, which is telling you a couple of things, he could be much stronger. And in a general election matchup than many rivals would claim and a lot of the primary states allow some independents or democrats to cross over and vote which could be trouble for trumps rivals if, in fact, they are correct numbers. Lets talk about what has been in the news lately a spectacle y didgo to vermont when he knows that was Bernie Sanders home state. What did you call it. A spectacle. There is the answer. Because it is a spectacle. What is everyone talking about. Show. Everyone is talking about the spectacle. They just cannot turn away. He knows that the protestors would show up and he would tangle with them but with that he keeps the focus on donald trump. What does he say confiscate. I hope he was joking about that. It is 10 below zero. It was not for crying out loud but thats what a show man does and bodes well for donald trump in the current age of social media we find ourselves in.
