killing may have stopped but there is no peace here. clarisa ward, cnn, syria. thank you so much for joining us. be sure to set your dvr to record "outfront" to watch us any time. "ac 360" starts right now. good evening. thanks very much for joining us. we begin tonight with breaking news. we are just learning about a shooting at a mall in indianapolis. according to cnn affiliate, it happened on the city's east side. three maybe four people were struck by gunfire. their conditions right now are not known. we are working to get more information and will bring that to you as soon as we can. there are now report, early reports a gunman was seen wearing a mask at the mall. we do not know the number of those injured or their condition. there are conflicting reports. it often takes time to work through details of this as

multiple eyewitnesss report from different vantage points. we're going to continue to follow this breaking story and bring you updates throughout this hour. our other breaking story tonight, the blimp that went bad, went rogue, got loose north of baltimore and for most of the afternoon, went drifting across maryland and pennsylvania. trailed by f-16s and tracked by tv networks it floated thousands of feet into the air and dipped low enough to take out power lines before coming down in north central p.a. it's no ordinary blimp or aero stat as the military calls it. it's part of a multi billion-dollar network of lighter than air surveillance platforms, radar in the sky designed to spot low-flying missiles but not really working out so well even before one of them got loose today. we are joined from anthony township, pennsylvania, not far from where this came down. what's the latest? >> reporter: anderson, the blimp went down about a half mile down this road where you can see

behind me police have cut off the road, authorities working to set up a perimeter around the blimp. a military recovery on va was sent this afternoon. all the information in will is sensitive. collecting evidence to get a re- clearer picture what happened here. the evidence collection will be difficult considering it's been raining non-stop since we arrived. this is also a rural area so not much light around here. aside from that, the power outages thanks blimp was dragging a 670 oc0 foot cable line. we've seen utility vehicles here, so we know certain groups of people, certain neighborhoods are getting lights turned back on but a long time before we get answers to specifically what happened with the blimp, anderson.

>> do we know if authorities actually brought the blimp down or did it come down naturally? >> reporter: well, anderson, we know from barbara starr, the two f-16s were armed but it does not seem that the blimp was fired upon. part of that is fear that helium inside the blimp might explode. we know there was a self-deflating mechanism on the blimp. it's not clear at this point whether or not that was activated or if it worked. >> and any word about how this thing broke loose? >> reporter: no word yet. that's obviously at the core of this investigation. this simply isn't supposed to happen. the blimp is supposed with stand hurricane-forced winds. we had bad weather but nothing of that magnitude so this is something officials will be looking at. this could have been much worse than turned out. >> let's go to barbara starr

monitoring developments from the pentagon. >> they, too, are saying there will have to be a full investigation into what happened, how it became loose, how it got untethered and whether or not this is a program that they will really decide to continue with. this is a program that is supposed to monitor 360 degrees over the nation's capital to look for incoming airplanes, low-flying cruise missiles and any air threat to this area of the united states, but this kind of technology really was first developed for the war zone for military basis in iraq and afghanistan they were having trouble keeping watch 24/7 over their perimeter. if this is not supposed to happen over the united states, this coming loose and drifting 200 miles in uncontrolled flight with no ready way to bring it down, i think it's fair to say the pentagon will be taking a look at whether it wants to continue with this effort. >> so this one was being used to monitor over washington d.c., do

we know how many are in use around the country? >> well, right now, actually, there are a pair of them in this one and another one at the same location in maryland that, by the way, at this afternoon has been grounded, obviously. this has been a major test program at the proving ground just north of washington d.c. in maryland. they have been looking at testing this and had it up for sometime trying to see how it operates and develop a track record to see how it works. whether or not they expand it, it's a very expensive effort. whether or not they expand it after today's veevents remains be seen. >> it's expensive and controversial. >> it's controversial because of this very question. is this the technology that's really practical. when those two armed f-16s were shadowing the blimp as it drifted for 3.5 hours over the eastern seaboard today, one of

the things that they were also doing is coordinating with the faa to keep commercial air space in front of it safe. it's uncontrolled flight when it drifts. they have no idea where it's really going to drift with the wind and weather pattern so they have to make effort to work with the faa to make sure there was no civilian air traffic in front of the path. if these become loose over the united states, it's very problematic. >> yeah, barbara, thanks very much. let's dig deeper into what this blimp or stat was about. we're joined by a flight instructor and joining us, retired army lieutenant and cnn military analyst. how big of an incident was this today and what does it say about the safety and security of these aero stats, these blimps? >> a big incident. these things are about 250 feet long, about twice the size of a blue whale. what is interesting about them, this is all undergoing test

right now as part of the surveillance system on the east coast. when this thing is fully deployed at 10,000 feet it gives you a range and you can see from boston massachusetts to raleigh, north carolina. so these two air stats, they call them j lens but they have counter cruise missile and airplane and drone mode will pick up things as big in an area as big as the state of texas. this critically important because it takes the place of a lot of manned aircraft. these aero stats can stay up about 720 hours at a time. if there is no great winds above 100 miles an hour. so it replaces crews that would normally do this, fuel on aircraft, lots of different aircrafts so this is a cost-saving and a personnel saving method and also has a great deal of technology associated with it. these are not only used this kind is an anti cruz aero stat, there are also j lens on the

southwest boarder in arizona and new mexico that have been there for several years tracking illegal immigrants and narcotics traffickers. this is something expanded. >> general, you said it allows you to see. literally, is there cameras or radar? is it infrared or? >> yeah, this one on the east coast is purely radar and the radar underneath it, that big nose that you can see on the pictures is a 7,000 pound radar part of the issue and why it take sos mus so much power to l. the ones in the desert are smaller and don't have to lift much and have cameras with infrared radar that can detect people at a long distance. two different types. this one is being tested since about december of last year and they are still working some of the bugs out, but it's going to be a good system in my view. >> you're a former navy, the

fact it was trained by military frig fighter jets, how does that work? are the rules of engagement tracking something like this? how do military pilots proceed? >> the f-16 is a quick-moving aircraft so it would have to do a racetrack pattern around the blimp and rules of engagement, they are armed any time standing alert, missiles and cannon firepower, but what happened on this one was undoubtedly they let out the helium. if this thing has a problem and gets a couple holes put into it, it covers up internally but big enough holes or push a button and let the helium out and gently comes down to the ground. we did avert a catastrophe and i agree with the general, this is a wonderful system and used it for many, many years on the boarder. it works wonderfully. >> general, how concerned do you think people should be that for awhile today, it wasn't doing what it was supposed to be

doing? going over rural pennsylvania. >> there were certainly problems. something happened today whether it broke the tether, it's a very large cable or could have come off the nose of the aircraft. don't know. that's what the investigation can tell. anderson, i had these systems not quite like this one on the east coast but i had 17 of aero stat systems in northern iraq when i commanded in 2007 and 8, as soon as we put them up and saw the capability, i said these are great. the soldiers love them. they could see a long distance. truthfully, i'm embarrassed to say of the 17 i had, three of them broke their tether. we tracked one near baghdad to mosul before it went down. it's one of the things we have to work through in these devices. >> do you think there needs to be changes in terms of the tether, how this thing is secured? >> they probably need to add

another tether. this is a vectron, supposed to be as strong as steel because they wrap this nylon around and around and around but it did -- my sources tell me it broke at the 6700 foot mark and trailing that along in pennsylvania and the problem is, static eletr electrici electricity. if you touch that, you could be electrocuted to death. you get hit by it, it could kill you that way, too. it was a problem. >> thankfully, nobody was injured in that way. good to have you on, thank you. we are continuing to monitor the mall shooting in indianapolis. we'll bring you more information as it comes in. coming up next, the story behind the deputy fired today for doing this to a student. we'll hear from the sheriff that did the firing and the latest from the deputy's attorney and whether these tactics justified or not belong in classrooms at all.

we're tonight to follow breaking news, reports of a masked shooter opening fire. we're getting our first pictures, police telling cnn affiliate that three possibly four people were wounded, again, these are early reports, terrified shoppers took refuge in a storage area inside a target store. no word yet on a suspect at

large or in custody or anything about that just yet. we'll of course, keep monitoring the situation and bring you any updates throughout this hour. to the rough arrest in the south carolina classroom. it happened on monday and by this afternoon the sheriff's department and school resource officer that brought a student to the floor and threw her several feet across the close room lost his job. you'll hear from the sheriff in just a moment and first the latest on the incident that sparked a federal investigation and debate over police and schools and for that let's go to miguel marquez where this is playing out. what's the latest, miguel? >> reporter: not only that was deputy fired today but the sheriff went out of his way during a press conference in which he made a quick decision and agonized over it to fire that deputy. saying that everything he did was fine up until the point where he tried to remove her from the room and threw her basically across the room.

that maneuver was not part of law enforcement policy and that is the problem that he had all the way along. he also went to great lengths to say this was -- this never would have happened if it wouldn't have been for this student who was using her cell phone in class he said when the teacher asked her to turn it off. she refused. when the teacher wrote her up and said go to the office, she refused. an african american administrator was brought into the class and he told her to leave and she refused the deputy came in and he asked several times and she refused and the ad minute stray ter asked for him to remove her. that one move has now ended that deputy's career, anderson. >> what's the response been in the community, at the school to

this news? >> certainly the african american community here was watching what the sheriff was going to do very closely. the sheriff was well aware of the power of video in this environment and how this has taken off and felt he had to talk to the community and come up with the decision very quickly on this. we spoke to members of the civilian review board they have at the sheriff's office here. the on one in south carolina they have where they actually go in and review findings, they said they are very pleased with the way the sheriff handled this african americans in this area and across south carolina concerned about not just this video but about how their students are treated in the school system and more largely in the criminal justice system here, anderson? >> miguel, thanks very much. i want to get more insight how and why the decision was made to fire deputy fields. for that we turn to his former boss. in your press conference earlier field dragged this student -

across the floor, that's when he violated proper procedure and caused material nation. did he follow proper procedure all the way up until that moment? >> no, we would have liked him to done some things different, maybe engage in verbal talking with her and try to solve the situation without escalating it. the deciding factor for me is when he threw her across the room. that's where there was no fall in our policy whatsoever. that's totally against our policy is when you do engage someone you make an arrest of, you don't let your hands off of them and that's what he did. he violated our policy. >> is there something specific he could have done, obviously you talked about deescalating the situation, but once it got to the point of putting hands on a student, is there a different way to put hands on them? >> once you start arresting someone like that who is non-compliant and combative, there are pressure points you can use and different tactics we teach and he just didn't follow

those tactics and training that we had given him. >> the tossing the student on the floor, as you said, is not proper procedure. could it be seen as assault? could it lead to criminal charges? >> well, that's why we called the fbi in. one of the first things i did once i saw it and realized, i called fbi in and got them involv involved. i want somebody independent to investigate this and there is nobody more respected than the fbi. that's why we're turning that part over to them. anything criminal will come from the fbi and department of justice. >> did you meet with him personally and if so, how did he, how does he now feel about the incident? >> i did meet with him. i met with him this morning, and when he was terminated and he regrets it. he wish he would have handled it in a different way. he has been at that school for seven years. he loves those students. he wished he would have handled it a different way but understands how it looks and his actions and that he didn't do

the right thing, that he could have maybe done it different. you know, he wishes it never happened this way. this wasn't his intent. >> it was also interesting, i know in your press conference you said the teacher in the room and school administrator brought in both approved of what the officer did, is that correct? >> that's correct. they both gave statements and in their statements they said the student was the aggressor and causing the problem and they didn't see any excessive forced used by the officer and supported what sro ben fields had did. again, i have to make the decision was he representative of me and the sheriff's department? did he follow our rules and policies and procedures? he didn't. that's why he was terminated. >> the student was charged with disturbing school and i know that's a law passed or a kind of punishment that's been passed by politicians in your state, how difficult has that made the job, your job, the job of safety

officers, is it too broad a term? is it something you want to look at moving forward? >> yeah, it is very broad. it's something i've been against since passed. it was reaction to tragedies we've had in schools and so our legislature passed this law not to disturb schools and it's very broad and it's too broad and it's caused some problems and, you know, this is the evidence of one of them right here. we should have never been called in there. that's been something, that disruptive student should have been handled by the teacher or administrator. but the history in our state with this law, you call the cop, call the sro and let him handle disciplinary problems and that's not our job. that will be reevaluated and i hope elected officials look at this and say maybe we need to step back and change this law a bit. >> appreciate your time. thank you very much, sir. >> thank you. well, that sro officer has just responded to his firing. we'll bring you that, his

comments to you and we'll talk about it and the mystery of what happened to corey jones, the young man whose car broke down in florida and waiting for help was shot dead by a plain clothed place police man. in multivitamin history. olice man. so familiar... when something becomes something so...new. introducing new centrum vitamints. a multivitamin that contains a full spectrum of essential nutrients... you enjoy like a mint. new centrum vitamints. the coolest way yet... to get your multivitamins.

more new developments tonight, they fired -- excuse me, the fired deputy's attorney is weighing in. we believe mr. fields' actions were justified and lawful throughout the circumstances of which he was confronted during this incident. to that extent, we believe mr. fields' actions were carried out professionally and he was performing his job duties within the legal threshold and the attorney saying because it is under investigation, he's not getting into specifics. our panel can and will, cnn legal analyst sunny hostin and former nypd detective harry. >> sunny, what is your take? do you expect this officer to face criminal charges? >> i've very possible. i said this from the very beginning when i first saw the videotape, it was very clear to me and i think other law enforcement professionals, this

is an easy case of force. now his, you know, his deputy has determined that it was unreasonable, unnecessary, so i think criminal charges are certainly very possible. what i think, though, was most interesting about what sheriff lott said is that the teacher should have handled this, law enforcement should not have been called. i agree with that. we're talking about the criminalization of behavior of a child and that's classic child behavior and that sort of the school to prison pipeline is very real. if we are criminalizing behavior that is classically child behavior, we are basically not giving our children a chance to succeed. >> well, harry, from the beginning you were saying you don't think the officer should be called in and this is something the teacher should have handled. you thought the officer didn't do anything wrong and acted properly and his own sheriff is saying he violated proper procedure. >> i'm angry about this because

the fact that officer was never trained to the point where the options he could have. everybody is talking about how you can empty the classroom out. why didn't the officer know he had that option? why? he wasn't trained with it. he was trained to react the way he did. the sheriff said they teach police officers certain holds and throws. let me tell you something, in real life that does not work. they teach you this stuff in the academy and pressure points, how to throw somebody and put them in a lock but in real life that doesn't work. when he said he doesn't allow officers to throw somebody, throw somebody and then take them down, then what does he allow his officers to do? >> sunny -- >> oh, wow. >> in talking to the teacher and administrator in the room, they supported the officer and his actions. >> exactly. >> and that's a problem. that's a problem. i'm troubled by what harry is saying that sort of in real life it doesn't work. you know, that what works is

what we saw -- >> only on tv. >> tossing a 16-year-old, 15-year-old across the room that apparently that is the proper take down that works. that is troubling. but i think it's also troubling that a teacher can't control a classroom. doesn't have the respect of his or her students to control the close room. >> you know, the officer was immediately fired. there was no due process at all. i think this officer if he finally decides to sue the department for what happened, this guy might get his job back. >> does it surprise you sunny, the charge of disturbing schools, which as you heard the sheriff saying is very broad and caused problems in the past for school officers like this school resource officers, do you think those charges will continue against this girl? >> you know, i actually was disappointed that sheriff lott started out his press conference by saying this girl started this entire thing. i think the person that started this entire thing was the

teacher. again, this is something that the teacher should have been able to handle. >> i'll tell you, anderson, i'm not for this law, either. i'm not for the police engaging students in a classroom for acting out of turn. i'm not for the law. i think the state of south carolina should take the law and throw it into the garbage because there is no sense for kids being arrested on misdemeanors inside a classroom because they don't want to listen to the teacher. it's ridiculous. >> we can finally agree on something, harry. >> yes. >> we'll leave it on the agreement. thank you both. we got new information on the indianapolis mall shooting. we'll bring you the latest on that and growing demands for transparency in the shooting death of corey jones killed by a police officer while waiting for help after his suv broke down. i'll talk to his family and their attorney.

indianapolis law enforcement officials just released a briefing about the shooting that erupted at a local shooting mall. three people were hurt, one seriously. a gunman approached someone he apparently knew and opened fire. this was apparently nor a random act or mass shooting. the other injuries were from ricochets or stray shots. the suspect fled the mall and is not in custody calls for transparency in the investigation of the shooting death of corey jones. hundreds attended a rally outside the palm beach county state attorney's office. the crowd demanding answers and justice. it been ten days since mr. jones was killed by a police officer. what we can say with certainty tonight is on october 18th, the chance encounter on a florida road side ended in tragedy. >> why? why is my son is gone today? why? >> reporter: corey jones, age 31 shot at six times, three of

those bullets striking and killing him. jones had just left a gig where he was the drummer and was planning the play the next morning in church. >> my nephew is broken down on the side of the road. [crying] >> reporter: broken down in the middle of the night, jones had called road side assistance and was waiting for a tow truck when a plain clothed officer wearing a ball cap approached his van. >> as he exited his vehicle, he was confronted by an armed subject. as a result of the confrontation, the officer discharged his firearm resulting in the death of mr. corey jones. >> reporter: but both the prosecutor and the jones' family attorney say corey never fired his weapon. the family attorney says his body was found 80 to 100 feet away from his vehicle, making it seem as though he might have possibly tried to run away.

>> we know this officer was in plain clothes. we know that he had no badge to display to corey. corey had no way of knowing what he was. >> reporter: the officer was working a burglary detail that night and had no body or dashboard camera. he's now on paid leave and many in the community are left wondering how a man with no criminal record ended up dead. >> a laid back young man, non-confrontational which is why i find it hard to believe. >> reporter: records show otherwise. evidence he had seized three weeks prior from a suspect. at the time he sited work related issues, something he failed to mention on his application for the palm beach garden police department. the job he's held for just six months. >> this is a situation that cries out for answers. it cries out for transparency. it cries out for the police to give this family information. >> reporter: information that may be found in the phone calls

corey jones made to road side assistance that night. 15 in all. the last one was made at 3:10 a.m. and lasted for 53 minutes. that's well into the time frame undercover officer raja arrived on the scene, meaning the incident may have been recorded by the call center. for now, the jones family and friends are left to grieve. >> it's really sad for corey's family. they lost an amazing person. >> reporter: and remember. ♪ ♪ lean on me when you're not strong, and i'll be your friend ♪ ♪ i'll help you carry on >> reporter: and seek justice. >> we want answers, we want answers. >> well, it's obviously incredibly difficult time for the jones family, certainly for c.j. and melissa jones, his brother and sister and i spoke with them and daryl parks, an attorney for the family earlier.

thank you-all so much for being with us. i know this is a horrible time for your family. c.j, how are you holding up? >> i'm holding out pretty good, man. just maintaining, just trying to get everything done for corey and get the funeral arrangements done and just hoping that everything comes out successfully like we know it will be. >> there are reports, there are phone records indicating corey was on the phone with road side assistance during the confrontation and it may have been recorded. i'm wondering if you've seen the phone records or if your family has and do you know if in fact, that call was recorded? >> right now, that's what they are saying that it might have been recorded. we actually don't know if that's true or not yet. we haven't had the phone records in our possessions yet. so we're not sure on that case yet. >> melissa, what do you think happened out there? i know your family has said the

state's attorney office told you that the officer raja never showed his badge and your brother never fired his weapon. the state's attorney's office won't confirm that independently yet. what do you think happened out there the night your brother was killed? >> well, that's what we're here for. we're looking for answers. we don't really know what happened, but i do know my brother is a victim, and we're looking for justice for him and no matter what it takes, i'm going to make sure i see that day happen. >> melissa, your brother legally purchased a gun. he had a permit to conceal that gun. did corey ever share with you why he felt he needed a gun? >> well, my brother, he works in the field of his profession in drumming and things like that. so he has to have protection on him of that degree because he has drums that are costly and also, he's out at late hours.

so to have protection like that is necessary for him. >> c.j., what was corey like? is he the type of person to have engaged with authorities if confronted? >> man, if anybody say police, we getting to the ground. corey is not that kind of person or not even has the character to even -- he never even shot a gun before, put it like that. he never even shot it. he just purchased the gun. the receipt was in the box. everything was there. yeah, it's no way possible. my brother has been pulled over multiple times by the police and every time he's pulled over because he would call me. yeah, there is no -- that's not right. that's not the corey that we know. >> darreyl, you said the family wants to know the truth, the full story about what happened that night. at this point for you, what are

the biggest unanswered questions? >> without question, we want to know what the officer's full statement was. we want to know what did the forensics show and evidence that was done that night by the investigation by both the sheriff's office and state attorney's office. we certainly welcome the support from the fbi in this investigation but expect that one, that this investigation must be efficient and speedy so the public can know the truth about what happened on that night. >> melissa, what do you want people to know about your brother? >> i want people to know that he was a level-headed person. a person that can really give you advice about life even if he hadn't experienced it. he was full of wisdom. he was very peaceful. very funny. he had jokes for days. a person that would serve at any given time and he just loved people. he loved the lord. i really want people to see the

person, you know, who he truly was and not who they trying to portray him to be. character speaks for itself. you don't have to fight hard for somebody's character when it speaks for itself. whatever they say, i know who my brother was. >> so sorry we're talking under these circumstances and wish you the best. daryl parks, thank you. >> thank you. the backlash over hillary clinton's comments about the v.a. health care scandal and how far off base was she? we're keeping them honest, next. 40% of the streetlights in detroit, at one point, did not work. you had some blocks and you had major thoroughfares and corridors that were just totally pitch black. those things had to change. we wanted to restore our lighting system in the city. you can have the greatest dreams in the world, but unless you can finance those dreams, it doesn't happen. at the time that the bankruptcy filing was done,

the public lighting authority had a hard time of finding a bank. citi did not run away from the table like some other bankers did. citi had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. it's a brighter day in detroit. people can see better when they're out doing their tasks, young people are moving back in town, the kids are feeling safer while they walk to school. and folks are making investments and the community is moving forward. 40% of the lights were out, but they're not out for long.they're coming back.

care, some dying while they waited. v.a. employees were cooking the books to hide long delays. drew's reporting sparked outrage. the revelations lead to the resignation of some. the press secretary was in damage control and mismanagement of care was systematic and said that mrs. clinton will roll out her plan to reform the v.a. next month. drew griffin joins me now. as we mentioned, you've been reporting on this for years. you're the one to break the scandal to full view. does it surprise you that hillary clinton would make this comment? >> you know, anderson, it really does and here is why. it's a matter of record and report after report shows the delays of care, deaths of veterans waiting for care and wait lists are and were wide spread and systemic and two years of this, it's not getting better and listen to the whistle

blower we verecently interviewe. >> the reality is veterans are waiting months, three, six months at a time, sometimes more for care at the phoenix v.a. >> like most of our sources inside the v.a., this whistle blower in phoenix has asked we not reveal any identity. are we talking about critical care? who are they? >> these are patientitients wai for appointments for procedures to remove tumors. these are specialty appointments that need to be seen immediately by the v.a. >> anderson, this is recent. the v.a.'s deputy secretary told me a few weeks ago, as many as half a million vets waiting for appointments at least 30 days out and many places wait times continue to go in the wrong direction. they are simply facts which is why what secretary clinton stunned a lot of people, really. >> what are you hearing from

veterans? how are they reacting? >> they were caught off guard because these problems as i said are facts. what secretary clinton said is just not true so the vets that are simple threatympathetic to must be ill advised and some say it shows she shouldn't become ba commander in chief. none of them are happy she tried to make this a political issue. the indianapolis mall shooting, the search for the gunman. he confronted and shot somebody he knew. his intended victim and two others were hospitalized, one with serious but not life threatening injuries and the run away blimp story, a team will be working to secure the area in rural pennsylvania and the proving ground northeast of baltimore. the blimp or aero stat is mostly deflated and more happening now. the 360 news and business bull

ton. >> anderson, house republicans have officially nominated paul ryan to be speaker. a house vote is set for tomorrow morning and will end weeks of drama over the job. ryan is expected to get the gavel from john boehner who announced his resignation surprising almost everyone. >> meanwhile, the house approved a two-year budget deal that would avoid a default. the bill goes to the senate it's expected to pass and get the president's signature. it raises the nation's debt ceiling through march 2017 and boosts spending for the military and domestic programs. jerry sandusky could face a new trial on sex abuse charges. a 43-year-old boston man claims sandusky abused him when he was 16 at a penn state football camp. sandusky is behind bars for sexually abusing boys during the 1990s and 2000s. outside philadelphia a train robbery and assault caught on

time for "the ridiculist", a 10-year-old girl is suspended for tossfully tossing a baby carrot in the hall. it's a little less than two inches long and hit the teacher in the forehead, why are there documents involved? the 14-year-old girl may face criminal charges over this. her mom is not amused. >> i don't even know how to combat the stupidity. i don't understand the whole thing. she was playing. yes, it happened.

they would have called and said oh, she's in trouble. she got a couple days in school, maybe even a day or two out of school but this has gone beyond that. we got court. she's charged not small charges, she's assault and battery with a weapon. >> assault and battery with a weapon. the weapon being a root vegetable. i wasn't there. i didn't see the force with which the baby coarrot was thron but this kid may be getting a raw deal which could be the crux of the case. >> it's a soft carrot, may not be as offensive as a raw carrot. >> if you throw a carrot, boil it first, soften it up a bit. the lawyer says nobody has to even get hurt for it to be battery in the eyes of the law. >> you don't have to have an injury for a battery. there doesn't have to be a showing but offensive and unwanted touching. that's what the law says. >> he really seems to know

what's up, doc, but if this criminal investigation doesn't turn up leads, could this girl be found guilty of assault with a healthy weapon. >> this will go before a judge and there could be legally sufficient evidence for a finding of guilt here. this is not the kind of thing i think a judge would necessarily find her guilty of. but they could offer her some sort of counseling to have it taken on advicement and put a carrot at the end of the stick. >> who will be lured by a carat at the end of a stick? an ambian maybe. the suspension may be excessive for the crime but much less getting lawyers and courts involved, here is hoping she'll beat the wrap on "the ridiculist." that does it for us for now. it's still a very big night. at 10:00 we'll bring you the latest on republican debate in
