12:01 pm
gunman has them stumped. investigators released a picture of the suspect. they say he was loaded up with ammunition and homemade explosives when he opened fire with a shotgun in a mall in baltimore. witnesses describe a seen of panic, people scrambling into back rooms for cover. parents trying to calm crying kids in the end two victims died and the suspect, apparently according to authorities, killed himself. police say he never used the explosives. both victims worked in a skateboarding shop, and the suspect was a skater himself. we don't know if the suspect knew the victims. now police say they're turning to the suspect's journal for possible answers. let's get to doug mckelway who is outside the mall. what are we learning about the journal? >> reporter: not much. that's the bottom line here. they have said that in this journal the suspect, 19-year-old
12:02 pm
aguilar -- dareon aguilar expressed some unhappiness with his life but that is as specific as they get. two hours ago the mall re-opened for the first time sense the shooting on saturday morning, and among the people who have come back here, the hundreds of employees of the 200 shops in the mall, many of whom hid in shelter or ran in panic on that saturday morning. >> just -- replaying it in my head. it's really unfo the young people that were victims. >> happy to be alive. never occurs to me that something like this would happen in the mall. >> earlier this morning before the mall was opened for business, the management here allowed reporters to take a tour of the various locations inside the mall. there is a makeshift memorial at the center court where people can leave flowers or write a book of remembrances.
12:03 pm
the store where she shooting happened is now boarded up with a sign that reads in part, in loving memory of brianna and tyler. we are learning a bit more about the shooter. 19-year-old dareon aguilar. he bought the pump 12-gauge shotgun legally in the state of maryland, just bat month ago. he passed a background check. he has no criminal record. he is described by friends who knew him in high school as a quiet but likeable, shy kid. he put that shotgun in a paper bag and then took a cab to the mall. he first went to the food court, which is down below. spent less than an hour there before going to the store. he went to a dressing room there, took off his backpack, morninged from the dressing room and then opened fire on the two victims before turning the gun on himself. >> anything from police on any possible connection between she shooter and the victims? >> reporter: just two sort of
12:04 pm
tan general sal connections. the one you mentioned, he was a skateboarder himself and he obviously opened fire in a skateboarding shop. the other connection, it's also very slim, is that he lives several blocks from one of his victims, the female victim in college park, maryland. the fact he had so much ammunition suggests he may have been intended on causing more carnage. listen to this person who narrowly escaped being shot by the shooter. >> he looked at me, he shot and i ducked. my husband said, duck, and he shot right over me at the great cookie. >> reporter: as well as remove the journal from the home that he shared with his mother, police removed computers, perhaps a forensic examination of the computers may shed more light why he did this. >> thank you. here in new york city, and new jersey, security teams are on high alert with the super bowl less than a week away now. just a block from here the nfl
12:05 pm
is transplantation forming times square into what they're calling super bowl boulevard. we'll be there late are this week broadcasting -- i think this from times square, this program will be there. officials here say they expect nearly 400,000 people to visit the area before he big game, and the new york post newspaper is reporting nearly as many times in times square that's do for new year's eve. across the river is the home of super super bowl xlviii. it's now on lockdown, no one can get in or out of the stadium without credentials. this is manhattan right here, and of course, brooklyn and queens. this is hoboken, new jersey, and this is the sports complex at the meadow lean. this is the izod center, the meadowlands racetrack, the old stadium where giants and jets used to play. here's metlife stadium. this where is our two big teams
12:06 pm
play and where the super bowl is going to be. look around, lots of parking lots. no tailgating. lots of roadways roadways and sy waterways. river nearby, the city not far. the new jersey turnpike here, all of this area to be cordoned off in a security perimeter, and it's going to be an enormous challenge. one of the biggest computer zones in the nation is right here around the stadium. this traffic is awful on a good day. that will not be a good day. lots of major highways, turns, and buses in and out of the stadium, not to mention surrounded by all the water i mentioned, and we're in the middle of winter. rich is outside the stadium and temperature is dropping. >> i don't know if you have a wind meter on the map but it's really picked up out here, and it's getting a lot colder. it's also pretty quiet. we can give you a look around metlife stadium. the media area is on the other side of the parking lot where
12:07 pm
visiting satellite trucks and crews set up. we'll show you metlife stadium is, a lot of tents set up and the security thing. concrete and chain link, 300-foot perimeter around metlife. you cannot get inside the fence without the proper credentials. people are being turned away. in fact another sense of where we are, there's the new york skyline a few miles away, and in between us and the skyline, you mentioned all the water. the made -- meadowlands, marshes, police will have boats on them to make sure no one tries to make any entrance from the water to this compound, and also, in this area, there's a secret command post that has now been built, public safety compound, manned the new jersey state police, the lead agency here helping out with super bowl security. will be joined by the fbi, home lean security, and local police agencies and inside the compound they will be monitoring video feeds, radio transmissions and
12:08 pm
boots on the ground to make sure this super bowl comes off safely. >> your biggest fear? >> disruption of the event. the same fear that i think most americans live with every da -- day in a post 9/11 atmosphere, anything can happen. >> tea state police have been training for the event for three years so they say they're ready. >> the winds, west northwest at 18, i'm happy to report, and at the temperature is just above freezing. at fox and friends the prediction is eight degrees tomorrow morning and four degrees on wednesday morning. so a lot of fun for reporters. i know there's some concern about snow, a little bit. >> well, snow and ice particularly. the roads could get icy. you mention the roads being a big issue. no one is walking to the stadium. a lot of people will be taking bugses and trains and they're concerned about ice and snow on the tracks as well.
12:09 pm
the police tell me that one of the bigger concerns is when people are inside the stadium, if they decide to leave because of the weather, if they have a mass exodus before the game is over that could be tricky with icy and snowy conditions, but listen, the new jersey state police handle security at the stadium for every home game so there are games here every weekend. granted, the weather is usually better than today or super bowl sunday but they say they can handle it. >> a lot of people complaining who wants to go there. so cold. but you're stuck with it. and actually going above freezing for the first time in ten days this weekend. so it will be balmy by recent new york standards and the fox weather center, small chance of snow. the feds warning of a potential defect in some commercial jets, the problem could make pilots loose control this. involved the boeing 767. they usually go on long haul

federal health officials say at least 626 passengerrer and crew members have gotten sick, most with vomiting and tyree -- diarrhea. the symptoms are consistent with norovirus but have not confirmed that. several cruise ships reported cases of noro virus just last year. health officials say it can cause serious medical problems especially for elderly and young people. we cover poop cruises from our south florida desk. this sounds awful. >> really does sound bad. the disease reached its peak when 20% of the passengers were suffering and they're not painting a pretty condition of the conditions on twitter. main of them quarintined in small areas with other passengers who are violently ill from nausea and diarrhea as well. one passenger tweeting everything i touch goes into a biohazard bag.
12:15 pm
>> when might we know what caused this? >> probably know by the middle of the week. u.s. health officials several days ago boarded the ship, took samples to try to determine what happened. if it is the norovirus that's often spread by contaminated food or water and can be very serious. 800 people were killed by norovirus last year. one passenger said he has been offered from royal caribbean a credit of $400 and 50% off his next cruise. >> have a good time. thank you. let get to mother of one of the passengers. she says her son is on the ship with his girlfriend. they must be having a blast. i hear she got sick. is that right? >> yes, she got sick. >> how is she doing? >> right frow she is doing okay we asked people a question,

apache attack helicopters to iraq. that we have confirmed. according to the agency involved and the contractor, we're talking about 24 apache attack helicopters. we reported earlier this month that lawmakers were ready to send the helicopters to baghdad but some senators were concerned that nouri al-maliki, the head guy in iraq, where things are falling apart and descending into civil war, the prime minister would use those helicopters to attack his political opponents, not just suspected terrorists. apache helicopter is designed specifically to kill tanks at night and designed to fight and survive no matter the weather throughout the world. again, the united states will sell apache attack helicopters to the iraqis. the unconfirmed number we are reporting is 24. the concern is will nouri al-maliki use the helicopters against his political enemies? stay tuned to this space. the white house says president obama will outline the so-called year of action in his

"state of the union" address tomorrow night. aides will not give exact details, as is custom, but will say that he will not let gridlock in congress stop his agenda. >> mindful of congress' reluctance to be cooperative at times, the president is going to exercise his authority. he is going to use his pen and his phone to advance an agenda that is focused squarely on expanding opportunities. >> some republicans are talking about what they'd like to hear from the president. senator roy blunt of missouri says, if all he has to offer is more of the same, or if he refuses to acknowledge that his own policies have failed to work, the president is simply doing what many failed leaders have done before him, trying to set one group of americans against another group of americans. we're get something clues about which issues the president might address by looking at the white house guest list. among those invited to sit with the first lady, heroes from last
12:33 pm
year's boston marathon bombing, a public school teacher from d.c. and jason collins, the first openly gay player in the nba. ed henry is live at the white house. what are you hearing about the address? >> big picture, what hit aides are signaling he will work with congress on some things. talked about the phone and maybe reach out to leaders. but what we're more likely to hear a lot more of is using that pen, using executive action, executive authority, executive orders specifically in some cases to move his agenda on his own. unilaterally go around congress. one specific example that jay carney confirmed at today's briefing was that they were going to talk tomorrow night, the president will, about getting corporations to agree on their own they will not discriminate against long-term unemployed in terms of when they're hiring if you have been out of work for a long time they won't discriminate against you. listen to jay carney. >> the commitments that major
12:34 pm
employers make in this regard will, if fulfilled, be enormously helpful to this significant challenge. >> the key part of what he says is philadelphia. the point being some executive actions are things that the president can suggest to these corporations. they can quote-unquote agree to it, but if it doesn't have the force of law, congress voting and approving it in both chambers, it's unclear if these initiatives are going to actually be followed up upon. >> some republicans are saying the president has had opportunities to get other things done and has failed. >> no doubt about it. when you talk to republican leaders like mitch m-connell they say the republicans have passed moothouse try to create jobs and seen some measures die in the senate because harry reid didn't want to bring them up. in other cases they say the pratt has the power today to move forward on some of these issues. >> i think it's time to go in a different direction. and there are some job creating steps he could take right now.
12:35 pm
he approve the keystone pipeline. work on trade agreements. our party is more inside global trade. >> i asked him why not approve the keystone pipeline. he says that's being studied at the state department. so we'll hear tomorrow night, the president's initiatives, some republican initiatives he doesn't want to move on. >> ed henry, thank you, sir. let's bren in ongoing busse. >> he has good story on this right now. the president really is looking to do two things. one is to defend his administration, his approval ratings if as 46% now. 55% a year ago. the second is to tee up the 2014 election. he doesn't want his party to do badly in that election. so he is going to want to talk
12:36 pm
momentum and that's why you hear using the pen, executive action. how far that can actually go to get things done is really a little bit more limited than we'll hear tonight. the other thing he'll talk about is economic opportunity. he wants to appeal in the biggest, broadest part of the electorate to make things as palatable going into the election. >> do they seem to think income equality is an issue that will work for them, with the polls showing the income disparity in our country? >> i think the way the democrats want to frame this is not to necessarily talk about income inequality, though that language might come into it, because that suggests to some you have to give up something to give to somebody else. they want to talk about the notion about economic opportunity broadly spoken. the republicans will take the opportunity to appeal to the broader part of the electorate. they're teeing up the republican
12:37 pm
from washington to be the rebuttalom washington so they have a woman front and center, showing the republican flag. they want to appeal to women voters. >> the republicans, as maybe a nod to the fractured nature of the party, actually have three responses. there's that one, there's another one from rand paul and another one from the tea party. three responses. >> i think that's -- obama's could be trying to push against that. they know that they have had a rough go this past year with the affordable care act hitting rough patches. so they're going to try to again show momentum tonight. that's why you hear the language of, executive authority, i'm going to use it. >> thank you. the economy will be a big talker tomorrow night. for now wall street is trying to snap its biggest losing streak and was well down a couple hours ago. the dow lost almost 600 points last week, the most since september 2011, and also finishing in the red the last
12:38 pm
four trading days. but today looking better. we were up considerably, 40-50 points. sandra smith is with us. this is a weird looking graph today. >> we started out positive. got earnings from caterpillar, company's ceo say he is seeing improvements in the global economy so that early optism is the green. and then we have a two-day fed meeting this week, ames earnings so all counts of uncertain, and then everybody decided to buy the stocks when they're on sal, so now we're in positive territory. but for market watchers, you care about the s&p. that's lower right now. the nasdaq is lower ahead of apple angst. so this is the gnaw -- dow in positive territory. >> somebody has stolen a holy relic containing a vial of from pope john all pall ii.
12:39 pm
-- pope john paul ii. there's a chance the thieves could use the blood, to quote, children satan, unquote. investigators say somebody stole the relic from a church. the theft has sparked a huge search operation. only three vials halt the blood of the pope. the police believe they thieves might use it as rituals. >> the former mayor or new orleans, ray hagen, is in trouble for something different from katrina. the feds say the took bribes while the people in his city struggled to get back on their feet. now his trial is just getting started. we'll tell you all the accusations and a word from both sides, plus, start searching. a new report suggests americans are losing a ton of money by not

12:44 pm
the mayor has pleaded not guilty but faces a possibility of 20 years in prison. it's been more than eight years now since hurricane katrina decimated parts of new orleans. the storm killed an estimated 1500 people. it did an estimated $80 billion in damage. it forced thousands and thousands of people from their homes. new orleans, of course, is still recovering all these years later. lisa is a defense attorney and she joins us live from the fox news deck. talk about the ramifications for mayor naggan. the list is wrong and it's ugly. >> it's a long investigation. 21 counts. he is facing stiff penalties, 20 years in jail if convicted. right now it's just beginning. this is jury selection. it's in federal court. so, at this juncture, the judge really takes the lead. she'll oversee the voir dire, the jury selection. there are certain rules in
12:45 pm
place. likely to ask questions of this full pool of jurors, and the defense and prosecution will submit probably hundreds of questions, and it's up to the judge whether or not she asks them. and once we see this jury pool, we'll start to see how it's starting to unravel. >> interesting to me two business men who face charges related to this have pleaded guilty to making payoffs, and they're admitting to paying kickbacks to the sheriff of nearby parish after winning a project management contract there. nagin was indicted charged with taking gifts of more than $200,000. >> the feds are getting a lot of help. it was a long investigation, his defense will be i'm the mayor of this ravaged city, and he is going to say, i tried give the contracts locally. that will be his defense. i tried to keep it more
12:46 pm
homegrown. at this point, there have probably been a lot of wire taps going on in the federal investigation, and you have people that have turned against him. they would need that in order to make some of these charges stick. so that's kind of what we're seeing. we're likely to hear a lot of testimony. >> the feds might say that trying to keep contracts local, which makes perfect sense, has nothing to do with the following things: $200,000 in bribes, whilearch nagin's on family members received a vacation in hawai'i, first class air fare to jamaica, private jet travel. and a limousine for new york city, not to mention cellular phone service. >> the mayor isn't exposed to accept them. i'm sure they get offered lots of things but we hope the people we put in office have the forebearance to turn them down because they come with strings attached. the other thing, his family has a business, they make
12:47 pm
countertops and got blocks and blocks of granite for free. it kind of boggles the mind that someone would think it would go unnoticed. >> he could spend decades in prison if convicted. >> he could. >> i bet they're watching closely in the big easy and we are, too, thank you, lisa. americans have not used, failed to use, gift cards, like ones you get for christmas or birthday. gift cards totaling $40 billion. cue believe that? that's what analysts are telling the "new york post" magazine. it's bad for stores, too, because they can't count the money in the revenue until you use the card. now some retailers are reminding shoppers to cash in, but the analysts say watch out for fees that mike kith in after a year. they say you can exchange unused cars online for as much as 85 cents on the dollar.
