deciding factor was what ohio state investigators were able to determine. that is that the 25 year old jalen walker reportedly shot at least one time at officers doing the vehicle pursuit portion of that night back in june of last year, and because of that, when the 25 year old man bailed out of his vehicle and then initiated that foot chase, according to the attorney, general officers believed that he was still armed. and that is why authorities established that when he reached toward his waistband. okay? they assumed that he had a weapon, and that s when they opened fire. of course , we still have to find out if that use of force will actually be justified, but this certainly is going to raise a lot of questions about a potential about what might happen in the community there in akron. i should tell you, jake. i ve been speaking to people there in the community they have prepared for this for weeks. for this announcement that you re about to hear from the state s attorney g
happy holidays we re here at msnbc headquarters in new york city, thank you for spending time with us on this monday the death toll from the once in a lifetime multi-state winter storm over the weekend continues to rise today. up by about 20 from this hour yesterday. we now have at least 55 people dead across 12 states with western new york especially hard-hit nearly half of those fatalities are in new york s erie county alone. the freezing temperatures and wind gusts also knocking out power for tens of thousands. in the latest update today, new york governor kathy hochul told drivers to stay off the roads and what first responders are discovering as they conduct rescue operations. going into homes, going into vehicles, and too many tragic times finding people who have not survived the experience. they re grieving inside, as we all are, for the families who are getting horrible heart-breaking news that their loved ones succumbed to the storm over the last day or two, and ou
this. if you look behind me, you can see the 21 crosses with the names of 19 little kids and two teachers killed in their classroom. 2 place they were supposed to be safe. what we re learning about the police response raises some disturbing questions. police vealing nobody was there the try to stop the gunman when he got in through door that was apparently locked and he was inside for about an hour before he was killed. how can that happen? what happened? an hour when desperate parents were all crowded outside. they were pleading with police to go in and let them go in or let them go in themselves. that is so hard to watch. so hard to listen to listen to their screams. the father of one student says he pleaded with officers to give him their gear so he could go inside as the shooting was happening. his son did survive but 19 ore children, two teachers did not survive. also joining us, cn nrknn law enforcement analyst, anthony barksdale. it s good to see you. i wish it was und
Well get reaction from bratislava, and we will discuss what it means 3 weeks from european elections. Good evening. In the last hour doctors treating the slovakian Prime Minister robert fico, said he is still undergoing surgery and is in a critical condition. Slovakia has always been known as a country of people who are tolerant, people who are accepting of other opinions and people who are always able to discuss. What happened today is a stigma which will haunt us for many years to come. But that is something that none of us think about at the moment. All we are focusing on is the condition of the Prime Minister robert fico, and we hope that he is Strong Enough to deal with this drama. In the first place i would like to assure the public that we will make Everything Thatis Public that we will make everything that is in our power to investigate this heinous crime. We are doing this heinous crime. We are doing this at the moment as we speak. The initial information we have clearly point
