within the metro area or within the los angeles arrest. >> target practice on one occasion was done within days of this event. >> monday's new information comes in part from more than 400 interviews investigators have conducted and atf, the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives says it has more details about the guns connected to farook. >> i purchased a llama and springfield armory 9 millimeter pistols recovered at the scene as well as the savage 22 caliber rifle recovered during the search warrant. we have the federal documentation and the california documentation to establish that he actually purchased the firearm. >> much of the focus appears to have shifted to the the wife, the pakistani who lived in saudi arabia. at the moment, there is precious little information. the f.b.i. says it is working with overseas partners to find out more. as for san bernardino, local

leaders say what's important is trying to get things back to normal. >> the purpose of terrorism is to make ordinary people afraid to do the ordinary things. last wednesday was an ordinary day in san bernadino county. it was it was a day when a group of our employees were gathered. these were dedicated public servants. to honor them, to express our gratitude for their unimaginable sacrifice. we have to fight to maintain that occurred. we can't be afraid. >> maintain that ordinary and trying to live a normal life. moving forward, we had left a vigil not a long ago, one of many vigils that san bernardino has been holding over the l few days. the city is healing and trying

to come to grips with this tragedy. >> melissa khan, thank you. homeland security jeh johnson said the government will soon have a new system to alert americans about potential terror threats. the new comes a day after president obama's prime time address on how the u.s. will fight terrorism and defeat isil. jamie mcintire has more from washington. >> reporter: the old color-coded system was announced by the first homeland security secretary tom ridge with great fan fare in 2002. >> the nation stands in the yellow condition, an elevated risk. >> it featured five alert levels, low, guarded, elevated, high and ceph over. the problem is no one knew what to do when the alert level was raised from, say, elevated to high. >> the major problem with the color coded communication, it didn't communicate information. janet napolitano replaced it

with the threat advisory system. it's triggered only by a credible threat of a specific plot. current homeland secured jeh johnson says the bar is simply too high. >> we need a system that adequately informs the public at large, not through news leaks of joint intelligence bulltins, from leaks jobson says some intermediate alert would allow law enforcement to share threats to avoid awareness. texas iran michael mccall called for tougher screening to shut down what he called a jihadist super thierp that he says allows isil followers to easily enter the u.s. >> i can reveal the government has information to indicate that individuals tie the terrorist groups in syria have attempted to gain access to gos our

country through the u.s. refugee program. >> mccall says in his opinion, the u.s. now faces the highest threaten environment since 911 with three isil inspired attacks on three continents in three weeks. still, u.s. officials incest there is no full proof way to predidn't or prevent the kind of assault that claimed 14 lives in san bernadino or the attack that killed three people at the planned parenthood clinic in colorado springs, something president obama acknowledged even as he tried to calm the fears of the nation. >> the fact is that our intelligence and law enforcement agencies, no matter how effective they are cannot identify every would-be mass shooter whether that individual is motivated by isil or some other hateful ideology. >> maybe you see something suspicious but you don't want to get involved. >> law enforcement says more important than issuing alerts to the public is getting more alerts from the public.

the f.b.i. says the see something/say something campaign is one of the strongest tools. >> if you see something, say something. >> when we look back over our cases over the last 10, 15 years. in almost every case, we find somebody saw something whether it was a family member or a friend or a co-worker and didn't say something to law enforce, wrote an innocent narrative over facts making them feel uncomfortable or make the hair stand up on the back of their necks. please don't do that. >> jeh johnson and in village flanked by muslims and boy scotts that 3 million muslims not be vilified. >> people super defend they had country. some have lost their lives. they are doctors and teachers and fire fighters. no one should make them question their identity. >> jame, mcintire, al jazeera, washington. >> kranl presidential candidate donald trump took his

anti-immigration rhetoric to a new level today. the g.o.p. frontrunner called for a ban on all muslims entering the united states. tonight is facing harsh criticism. john terrett is here with more on what trump had to say. >> his anti-muslim remarks were delivered on board the uss yorktown, a world war ii aircraft-carrier. he began by honoring the fallen at pearl harbor. today is the anniversary but he soon turned his attention to muslims. >> wow thank you. >> donald trump is calling for a ban on all muslims entering the u.n. >> donald's j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.

we have no choice. >> trump said research by the center for security policies shows 25% of u.s. muslims thinks violence against americans is justified and 51% want to live under islamic law. >> where the hatred comes from, and why we will have to determine. we will have to figure it out. we can't live like this. it's going to get worse and worse. >> the southern poverty law center calls the organization who did the poll an anti-muslim think tank. president obama addressed the nation from the oval office urging the country to rally around muslims who he said are friends, nabors, co-workers andspots heroes. >> i watched last night and i watched the president truly that didn't know what he was doing. >> trump's call for a muslim ban first and in a statement from his campaign. his words set the twittersphere on fire. jeb bush tweeted, donald trump is unhinged.

his policy proposals are not serious. >> lindsey graham said every candidate needs to do the right thing and condemn donald trump's statement. >> bernie said@real donald trump want united states to hate all muslims. >> in the name of god. >>d the council on american relations was so outraged it held an impromptu news conference. >> this is outrageous. coming from someone who wants to assume the highest office in the land. it is reckless and simply un-american. donald trump sounds more like a leader of a lynch mob than a great nation like ours. he and others are playing into the hands of isis. this is exactly what isis wants from americans, to turn against each other. >> thank you very much, south

carolina. >> trump's remarks come as a new poll suggest he is lagging behind senator ted cruz, 19% to 24%. however, a new cnn poll among caucus goers has trump at 33% ahead of cruz at 20%. >> now, there is a pattern of donald trump making these kind of statements when he is behind. he said in september i love muslims but after paris, he scald for a database to track them and there was talk of muslims cheering in new jersey on 911. >> michael fountroy joins us. an associate professor at howard university. michael, very good to have you with us. >> martin o'malley said this shows trump is a fascist demagog. e. most were almost as harsh. you heard the applause when he made the statements. many of his supporters seem to agree with him. will this affect his standing

with his base? >> no. it's the kind of thing that's cat nip for his base but it's also among the most cynical things have that been said throughout a very cynical campaign season. you have to remember donald trump is gathering a large measure of his support from people who have been disengaged from politics. you saw the disparity between the two polls in iowa. some of that is driven by the fact that many people who claim to support him are people who haven't voted in recent years and so he has to do these kind of things to keep them energized. not just today but, also, as we get closer to the caucuses in iowa in and the primaries thereafter. >> do you think the escalation of the rhetoric could be a reaction to ted cruz pulling ahead of him in that one iowa poll? >> i think it could be. i think it's also part of his whole mo. he had consistently racheted up the rhetoric time and again. we have talked about some of

that so far in this piece. i would not be surprised a lot all if between now and iowa, he took it up another level. >> this was a pretty harsh level. you are talking about muslims. it could be muslim professionalals who have lived in this country 3 forever who happened to be on a business trip abroad. could this be a short-term benefit for him, though, that could them hurt him when it comes to broadening his electoral appeal? >> antonio, i would have thought that three or four months ago, and here we are on the eve of the caucuses and he is still first or second, depending upon the poll. i think you have to remember, though, he's running for the republican nomination. and there are a number of people who are taking up other lanes in that race. and he's plumbing the field that makes the most sense for him. as a result he is going to cotton to do the things he has

said. >> are the other politicians failing in react to go this because we hear all of this sound and fury from the politicians about how outrageous, whatever comment he makes is. this one and many others that he has made. wouldn't it be more effective to attack comments like this from a substantive standpoint to explain to americans how they would be damaging -- how it would be damaging to the united states in ways people would understand? >> i think from a public policy perspective, that's absolutely the way to go. unfortunately, the news cycle moves so quickly that the time you spend debunking yesterday's story is time that you can't spend tomorrow telling your own. >> yeah. it's a difficult thing for them to do. >> while john just told us about the poll trump cited about muslim hatred as come from an anti-muslim think tank, there have been many polls that have shown small percentages of muslims abroad who do advocate

for that. newt gingrich mentioned today a poll that showed nine% of pakistanis support isis. that as up to a lot of people. so do you think he is striking azine phobic court in the united states that might run deep earn what we might think. >> i don't think there is a question that there has been a vein of xenophobic that has run through the body politic. it may depend upon what's going on in the country at the time. he tapped into that. the fortunate piece is he is not going to be the republican nominee. the person who is will likely try to plumb that same field to try to get those same voters, and that could mean this kind of rhetoric continuing on through november of next year. >> michael fontroy, good to have your insights on this.

thank you. >> thank you. >>. >> he was looking for attention, he got it. the tweets have been dominated the internet. according to topsy, there have been 380,000 tweets about the candidate in the last hour alone, at least 52,000 comments have been posted. today, a group of 12 refugees from the war in syria arrived in texas. they are resettling in that state despite efforts from texas governor greb abbot to keep them away. texas is challenging the federal government in court. heidi joe castro has more from dallas. >> six families, a parents, two children and two grandparents joining family settled here in dallas. another six refugees flew in to houston with another nine more scheduled to arrive by the end of this week. the resettlement process has long been ongoing with no opposition until the paris attacks. that's when governor greg abbot

joined 30 other state leaders saying he no longer wanted syrians to resettle in his state. texas launched a lawsuit against the federal government but for this specific group of syrians, the state backed down saying the federal government shared enough information to assuage any security concerns. these aren't the only syrians who have come to texas. we have been in touch with the attorney for two families who crossed the texas/mexican border last month and are being held in an immigration detension center. the attorney there says that these families have passed the credible interview but they are still being held. also, we learned these families are christian, which is something that republican lawmakers, including senator ted cruz have said should be a factor when considering who to allow to enter the country. >> heidi jo castro in dallas. intense scrutiny of another police involved shooting in chicago. this time, prosecutors say the officer is in the clear. the video next. the supreme court deals a blow

al veras says the video is not good and has now sound but it was strong enough to help her decide that the shooting was justified. >> mr. johnson ran into a public park and toward an occupied police vehicle that was arriving on the scene. >> alvarez says the fact johnson was shot in the back while running away was not enough to vince her that the officer was in the wrong. >> johnson could have easily turned around and quickly fired at the officers pursuing him or fired as he ran. >> but the attorney for the johnson family insists johnson did not have a good on him and that the video isn't clear enough to show that he had anything in his hand. >> they turned and pointed and no one can argue with that video, that he did not turn. he did not point. >> alvarez says her investigation relied solely on the city's independent police review authority or ipra. but the johnson family attorneys say the officer who did the shooting was never actually interviewed by alvarez or by

ipra. >> this is a joke. it's the blind leading the blind. >> he says the officers never gave sworn statements about what happened until after they had all watched the video that night. >> they got their popcorn ready because the video of this incident, the murder of ronnie johnson was being played on the screen. >> johnson's mother was furious about johnson's decision. >> if that would have been anything in her family that got killed like that, they would have been charged with murder. >> the mayor says he is not going anywhere despite despite calls for resignation after the videos and johnson's families isn't going anywhere either. they are not dropping their civil lawsuit against the city. >> as far as the independent police review authority or ipra, the head of ipra suddenly redsined last night. so, the mayor named a replacement today.
