tv Shepard Smith Reporting FOX News January 7, 2015 12:00pm-1:01pm PST
12:00 pm
y made their getaway and right now, they are still at large. the world is on hold as they continue to wait to see what will happen. we will continue to have coverage throughout the day and night right here on fox. thanks for being part of "the real story." here's shep. >> continuing coverage of terror in the city of light. gunmen murdering a dozen people and now a manhunt for those responsible. live to paris and tell you what we've learned about how the killers forced a young mother to let them in the building and what they apparently told her before they started shooting. we're also tracking other major news at this hour including the discovery of what could be a key clue in the crash of that airasia jet. and a young woman who's fighting doctors because she doesn't want the chemotherapy that could save her life. she's but 17. so does she have the right to decide for herself about herself? we'll get into it with judge na napolitano napolitano. let's get to it.
12:01 pm
>> now shepard smith reporting, live from the fox news deck. first in the fox news deck 3:00 on the east coast, 9:00 p.m. in paris and france is on the highest level of terror alert after its worst terror attack in at least 20 years. terrorists armed with high-powered rifles are still on the loose according to authorities, after they opened fire at the office of the satercle newspaper and killed a dozen people. a cartoonist for that paper said she had arrived with her young daughter when the killers threatened to kill the little girl if she didn't unlock the door. she says the men spoke fluent french and claimed to be from al qaeda. the cartoonist said she hid under a desk with her daughter as she watched the killers murder her co-workers. once inside one witness says the killers asked for the victims by name and gunned them down. the executions continued for what we're told was five to ten minutes before the killers escaped, guns still firing.
12:02 pm
cell phone captured this scene from the window overhead that blurred figure is a cop on the ground, hands raised apparently begging for his life. we will not show here what happens next. they execute him. this all happened in the heart of paris not far from the eiffel tower. investigators there say they later found the gunmen's getaway car. this satirical newspaper where it all happened has poked fun at pretty much everybody from politicians to the pope to the prinsloo. that led to threats from extremist groups and fire bombing in 2011. the paper's chief editor who died then refused then and continuously to back down. he once said i would rather die standing than live on my knees. today president obama said the rampage was not only a terror attack, but also an attack on freedom of speech. >> the attack on journalists
12:03 pm
attack on our free press also underscores these terrorists fear freedom of speech and freedom of the press, but one thing i'm confident ability is that the values that we share with the french people, a belief, a universal belief, in freedom of expression. >> and that newspaper practiced free speech all the way up to today's attack. in fact, a cartoon in the paper's latest issue takes aim at terrorism directly. in it, an extremist says, still no attacks in france. and then he adds quote, we have until the end of january to pressure our new year's wishes. greg palcot on fox story live in paris. greg? >> shep, it has been a couple of hours since the brutal attack but you're seeing a memorial building flowers candles and messages has hit the people in
12:04 pm
paris, france, very hard. we're standing behind a police cordoned. the scene of the attack about a block away. massive police presence here and throughout the region. 500 extra police. a big manhunt out for the killers. they are still on the loose and they are armed. a few more details about the attack, shep. the prosecutor now is saying that it was, in fact, two gunmen who were involved as well as a driver. so we're talking about three people. some of the eyewitnesses talk about what they said during the attack. allahu akbar, that's arabic for "god is great" also we are avenging the prophet, making a reference to the cartoons of the muslim prophet which have appeared in this satirical newspaper. according to experts who have seen the re mains of the attack, they acted with a brutality, but with precision. this was a planned attack, not just ak-47s, automatic rifles used but even a rocket launcher.
12:05 pm
after they did their deed they made a getaway and hijacked another car about a mile from where we're standing. a bit of a shoot-out, again with police, but they have now disappeared. from my time here in paris france, my guess they have disappeared into the housing projects that surround paris. there are many of them. there are even some no go areas that police don't even go into, a high crime right there and a high population of arabic immigrants as well. again, 500 police extra being laid on here, shep. we are seeing a big presence around public places in this city. president hollande went on tv tonight and said he would not allow something like this to happen again, but this, in fact was not expected feared but not expected. and again, just a couple blocks from where we are another gathering of people, mourning not just the loss of these individuals and now we're told
12:06 pm
there was one woman in the 12 that were killed one woman who was killed as well, but also the loss a little bit of freedom of speech freedom of expression, ability to put anything you want and put it out. the gentleman that went into the newspaper office a couple years ago, that was not allowed, france is saying yes, it is. back to you. >> greg in paris, thanks. many intelligence experts condemn today's attacks said it looked like an organized military operation. robert mcfadden former assistant deputy director for counter intelligence naval criminal investigation service and serving as vice president of the soufan group, a global security firm. i've heard so many say today it looks like a military sort of thing. explain why they're saying that. >> there's a range of different opinions. some have said it resembles well-practed military assault type, but other experts on the other end of the scale said no, it resembles more say a bank
12:07 pm
robbery crew. nonetheless, it seems quite obvious there was planning, casing and practice for this operation. how much time white take before the french -- it would take before the french police arrive. >> is there an early takeaway without getting off into speculation? >> that's a great point because we are deep in speculation land. a few things, the scale, unprecedented at least for a few decades in france. okay. second, the egress part of the operation, unlike recent lone wolf or wolfpack operations where you have the perpetrators went to go down in a hail of bullets or blow themselves up. a lot of care wept into the escape plan. nonetheless with a top tier intelligence and law enforcement services as they have in france there are a lot of clues. >> to what degree do you have concern that this groups is out and planning to do something else? >> that's one of the key things right now. solving this and finding out who did it but how far flung the conspiracy is or ruling it out.
12:08 pm
very important to find out if there's a command and control element that might be part of this group and getting to that as soon as possible. so to interrupt forward momentum if there are other plots in place. >> greg talked about how they might have gone to the slums might have gone anywhere. we don't have any idea. if you have a european passport get in the united states, anywhere in europe with the greatest of ease. >> that's right. from what we're hearing from the eyewitness accounts fluent french indicates that they were likely born and raised if not in france, a french speaking country. getting back and going underground much more easy than it would be for outsiders coming in. >> this investigation i'm guessing will spread very quickly from these tapes and from the -- there is voice recording as well here. you have to figure they would be able to get pretty close to who these people are if they're known people, quickly. >> that's another point about what we refer to as crowd sourcing and the internet age. although this may seem kind of strange or counterintuitive,
12:09 pm
when you have millions of people seeing individuals walking and running, the gate is very, very descriptive, could pros deuce a lot of false leads likely will, but there could be gold in there for those who might recognize individuals. >> is there a reason for people who do this sort of work satirical nature journalism to pull back now or to scale -- should news organizations be ramping up? just curious on your thoughts? >> ear'shere's the thing about terrorism. you know the motivation of going after this satirical magazine because of the sensitivity from that extremist brand of islam but the other part of it is, the essence of terrorism, if you go after media there's a good chance your message is going to be heard even louder and wider. so what it comes down to is country by country. in the u.s., we don't have this type of extremism with attention with our media. france and some other european countries, it's been around for a while, but i don't think
12:10 pm
there's any indication that the french, for example, will pull back. >> you have to wonder, it seems to me, maybe misplaced to say, well, they're attacking them for the simple reason, the sorts of people who would dos this kind of attacking, my guess is, if this particular satirical newspaper didn't exist they would find something else? >> absolutely. when you have that type of motivation motivation, they feel they have a license for vengeance and vigilante justice and the extreme form of islam. many targets like that out there. >> to what degree do we as a free people here and in europe and beyond have to sit back at 134 some point and realize these sorts of things will happen? we have to do what we can to protect ourselves from them, while not crossing a line that diminishes the freedoms we hold so dear, the line is moving and i think many of those who analyze such things we will lose what's ours. >> you have this extreme tension in places between freedom of expression and violent
12:11 pm
extremism. there's going to be the law enforcement the kinetics aspect, investigation and intelligence, that will continue. however it's within societies and these different places and within the religious circles themselves where the real reaffirmation will have to come about. >> we risk profiling to an extent now where this could be made worse. i've heard what you're reading and listening you're going to hear you have to profile, and the other side you have to say we have to stop making enemies of people. the truth is usually somewhere in the middle of those two things. it seems possible if you were to profile these types of people that you would just make more enemies and cause more trouble. >> coming from law enforcement intelligence background, when you're talking about profiling let's look at france where over 10% of the population is ethnic north african, how in practical terms do you profile to that extent? it comes down to intelligence, tactical enforcement, safety, societal reformations.
12:12 pm
>> robert mcfadden, thanks for coming in. >> my pleasure. >> the shooting about a lot more than the murder of 12 innocent people. wit you a strike on freedom of expression and journalism itself. a crime against free press, that so many of us take for granted. we'll speak with the director of the group reporters without borders who says the terrorists in paris attacked freedom but did not kill it. that's coming up from the fox news deck right after this.
12:15 pm
came under attack today in paris had faced threats of violence before. as i mentioned attackers fire bombed the paper's office four years ago and officials say the editor had a bodyguard who also died in today's rampage. joining us from paris is the u.s. director of reporters without borders, has been a guest here before. their headquarters is a few blocks from where all of this happened. good evening and your thoughts on this terrible night? >> good evening. as you know everybody here is so shocked. we cannot believe what happened. still unreal. a newsroom attack with little reason in the middle of paris it's unbelievable. we have seen attacks in somalia iraq or pakistan, but in the middle of paris it's still incredible.
12:16 pm
really today, we are all standing with the families of the victims and, you know, charlie hebdo journalists were courageous journalists, always putting freedom of information first and what we should do now is continue their fight on their names and that's what we will continue to do. >> do you know if there had been any specific threat to any of the people involved here today or the organization itself recently, and if so how they reacted to such? >> so you know charlie hebdo was under threat continuously since many years. they've been attacked. they were threatened continuously, under police protection every day since 2011. and president hollande said today that actually, many terrorist attacks have been averted in france in the last weeks and in a sense, now you know that the terror alert has been raised to the maximum. so now paris and especially all
12:17 pm
public places are under scrutiny. at my office at the headquarters of reporters without borders, all day we had policemen taking care of our safety all media headquarters have been under police protection all day, and now as the suspects are still on the run, we are still in a very tense atmosphere here in paris. >> any attack on the messenger is a very dangerous one for societies, for freedom loving societies as a whole. i wonder if you have any sense yet from your neighbors at the satirical magazine, the degree to which they have a determination to continue their work? >> you know i think the determination is definitely here and that's why at reporters without borders we are appealing all media all around the world to publish charlie hebdo's cartoons and i think all the french media are following this
12:18 pm
appeal because today it was not the satirical newspaper that was attacked and 12 journalists was killed, no it was freedom of information which was attacked. that's why i think we saw so much support. you know all around paris, all around france and i hear all around the globe there's people gathering spontaneously in the streets to say we were all attacked today. i am charlie, we are all charlie today, and that's why we continue their fight on their name, because that's what they wanted us to do and that's what they were doing every day. >> no doubt. thank you and all the best to your colleagues there and our colleagues there as well. thanks so much. >> thanks. well security forces here at home took some precautions in the hours after the attack in paris. police increased their presence outside of the consulate in new york. cameras recorded two officers standing outside that building earlier today. the new york police department reports it also has a directive
12:19 pm
stationed -- detective stationed in paris monitoring the situation. the police commissioner here in new york city bill bratton, says there is no sign of any direct threat to new york city. investigators here at home now looking into what may have sparked a deadly attack at a veterans hospital in texas. plus, continuing coverage of the terror attack in paris. reaction from the white house and a look at u.s. intelligence. and we'll show you some dramatic tweets sent during the attack and how the world is now rallying around the victims of the survivors with that #yessuis charlie. i am charlie. we will be right back.
12:22 pm
12:23 pm
coming in over here. there have been so much from such a diverse crowd of people around the world. >> these first tweets are from people who were nearby. this is a journalist who said attacked by the two hooded men on the offices of charlie hedobdo. we've taken refuge on the roof. he's take an picture of what the scene was like. another journalist tweeted shooters #je suis charlie facing a car opened fire, the officers returned fire and backed off. that translated. the president of france tweeted no barbaric act will exit ting wish freedom of the press. we are a unified country will that we rookts and stand together. #je suis charlie conde nast france supportings the charlie hebdo team. picture of an icon trending a lot. and lastly, this is what
12:24 pm
actually charlie hebdo about an hour before tweeted, best wishes indeed. and posted this picture which looks like al baghdadi and the caption reads al baghdadi wishes also and especially health. if you go to their website right now, actually this page comes up. it's this dark je suis charlie and when you click it starts to give you in different -- je suis charlie in different languages. so that's what's going on right now. >> i've seen those signs on every continent today in video. incredible how quickly it spreads. >> holding up the pen. a lot of people. really -- >> yeah. it's moving and unity is important. >> it is. >> thank you. >> we'll have more on the attack in paris ahead. first here at home the fbi reports it's planning to question not just a few, but hundreds of patients who may have witnessed a shooting in texas. officials say two people are dead including the suspected gunmen.
12:25 pm
this happened yesterday in el paso paso. the clinic near ft. bliss the army post. investigators have not said whether the gunman killed himself or somebody else shot him. casey steagall has the details in dallas. what are investigators saying about this some. >> they're not saying very much. we don't know that the investigators know much about the suspect. that's what they're hoping to get from interviewing those hundreds of witnesses that you speak of, perhaps someone at that clinic knew him or perhaps he himself said something leading up to this attack because as of right now investigators have not named a possible motive, whether it was entirely random or if the victim, who was a doctor at that clinic, was specifically targeted. folks on scene describing the pandemonium. >> honestly we were relying on our phones to see what was going on and we heard there was a shooter, everybody was cautiously standing out here waiting to see what was going
12:26 pm
on. it's really sad what happened. >> reporter: the names of both the gunman and suspect, i'm sorry the gunman and the victim are being withheld right now. >> learning more about the clinic, too, right? >> yeah. exactly. it made headlines last year was thrust into the national spotlight after a federal audit showed that it had some of the longest waiting times for new patients to get in and see a doctor. some of the longest waiting times out of the entire va health system in this country. but whether that was a factor in this shooting, we do not know. if this was a disgruntled patient of some sort. the vas has released a statement to fox and it reads in part, i'm quoting here, the safety and continued care of our veterans and the staff will be our focus throughouts this situation. that clinic by the way closed for business today as this investigation marches on. shep? >> casey thanks. more ahead on today's top story, the terror attack in pair paris. live to d.c. on what the united

12:32 pm
bottom of hour. the continuing attacks in paris. 12 are dead after the gunmen stormed the offices of a satirical newspaper and the killers are right now said to be still on the loose. u.s. officials say they are helping french officials track down the suspects. president obama called france one of america's oldest allies and the secretary of state, john kerry, said each and every american stands with the french people. he also said the attack will not change the basic freedoms both nations share. >> today, tomorrow, in paris, in france across the world, the freedom of expression that this magazine, no matter what your feelings were about it the freedom of expression that it represented, is not able to be killed by this kind of act.
12:33 pm
>> secretary kerry spoke to the french people in french. he's fluent. he's visited paris more than any other foreign city since taking office. we have team fox coverage, bottom of the hour news. catherine herridge with the latest on the intelligence from the attack. first to ed henry at the white house. what else is being said there? >> what's interesting, the president was scrambling because he landed a few moments ago in detroit. he wanted to be cheerleading the economy in a campaign-style event but reality, obviously, intervened and what's why he pulled together vice president biden and secretary of state kerry in the oval office to denounce this attack and make it clear as you suggested that the u.s. is going to stand with france, who let's remember, is a long alliance but especially in recent weeks and months, the u.s. has been working with france on air strikes to battle isis terrorists. listen to the president. >> to see the kind of cowardly, evil attack that took place
12:34 pm
today, reinforces, once again, why it's so important for us to stand in solidarity with them just as they stand in solidarity with us. >> reporter: as part of that solidarity the president was talking about, we're told while he was aboard air force one right before landing the last few moments in detroit he spoke by phone with french president hollande. >> what else are you hearing from republicans on this matter? >> well, it's interesting, this is the second day of the new congress. obviously it's been dominated so far by veto threats and what they might disagree about. on one hand mitch mcconnell used this as a chance to come together with the president and say look, we will stand with france, all as one if nation, here in the united states but then mcconnell went on to attack the president. listen. >> with regard to the terrorist event in paris, let me just say that our thoughts are with the french. i think it further underscores that, unlike some of the suggestions that were being made as late as last year, the war on
12:35 pm
terrorism is not over, and not likely to be over any time soon. >> now, obviously mcconnell referring to the president saying that al qaeda's been decimated, is on the run a sign even as both sides come together a little there's going to be a lot of attacks in the days ahead in terms of the back and forth as the new congress gets going. >> thanks. team fox konchg continues. our intelligence correspondent catherine herridge live in d.c. what are officials saying? >> the cia chief in paris the most senior cia officer on the ground as well as the fbi attash shay are working with the french. director comby spoke about the role a short time ago. >> my heart goes out to the people of france and paris this morning. we're thinking of them. we have at the fbi a very close relationship with our partners in the french law enforcement and counterterrorism communities. >> reporter: fox news confirming investigators are reviewing the data bases of known terror suspects including those are
12:36 pm
w.h.o. have recently traveled to syria to identify the gunmen. that includes video footage, cctv and physical evidence from the crime scene. within the last hour the french newspaper is now reporting the three suspects have been identified by french intelligence, reporting two men are brothers both french nationals, and a third is homeless. they're giving the ages at 18, 32 and 34. there is no independent confirmation from u.s. officials. shep. >> that's brand new that's brand new to me now. have they been able to track where any of these people might be? >> all i have is my translation of the article, three individuals, those age ranges and two french nationals. separately, government sources told us earlier in the day that u.s. intelligence community was exploring the likelihood this small cell was connected to a known terrorist group, possibly al qaeda in north africa. that's aqim. al qaeda in yemen, aqap or a
12:37 pm
group based in syria. as you reported earlier, a witness at the scene who let the gunmen into the building said they claimed to be from al qaeda. al qaeda's propaganda journal recently called for the execution of the magazine editor and the cartoonist in march of 2013. >> we have to assume that every time they encourage something, every time they talk or write about something, that's what they intend to do and they're going to do everything they can to carry it out. >> reporter: fox news is also told the suspects were well coordinated, well timed, and had appeared to train together and they had a very high comfort level with their weapons as we've seen throughout the day in his horrific execution video of that french police officer. one of the last tweets from the magazine was a caricature of the isis leader abu bakr al baghdadi and while there's no formal connection made at this point one analyst did draw fox's attention to the point that gunmen wore the clothing that is so consistent with what we see with these isis fighters shep.
12:38 pm
>> just for clarity on a matter that is clearly brand new to all of us here you mentioned that this one newspaper has said that the authorities have identified potential suspects as one homeless man and how did they describe the other two? >> two brothers french nationals, and they gave ages of 18 32 and 34 but no names were given in t that's a translation i did from the french myself. >> all right. catherine herridge, anything new on that we'll get back to her on that. >> of course. >> islamic extremists have launched a number of attacks in france over the last few years. as we've reported here witnesses say today's attackers spoke fluent french. analysts estimate more than 5 million muslims live in france. that's a about 8% of the population. and muslims are now the second biggest religious group in france after catholics. to call the kind of religious extremists who were doing this sort of thing muslims seems way out there, any more than the guy who blew up the federal building
12:39 pm
in oklahoma might be considered a christian. trace, to you, with that as a backdrop take us through the recent attacks. >> the deadly one was in 2012, and a member shot and killed three soldiers in france before attacking a jewish school killing a rabbi, a teacher and two students. at the time, very little was known about them but last year the same group kidnapped french mountain climber herve in algeria and threatened to kill him if the french didn't end their air strikes against isis. the air strikes went on and he was beheaded. just three weeks ago in france, a man shouting allahu akbar, plowed his car into a crowd of christmas shoppers injuring 13 and the same week another man also shouting "god is great" in arabic, stabbed and wounded three police officers in central france, both of those suspects, shep, have been arrested. >> trace gallagher in los angeles, thank you. commenting on today's
12:40 pm
attack, the author of the satanic verses, controversial book about islam that triggered a death sentence from iran's ayatollah in the 1980s. in his statement he writes religion a medieval form of unreason, when combined with modern weaponry becomes a real threat to our freedoms. this religious totalitarianism has caused a deadly mutation in the heart of islam and we see the tragic consequences in paris today. i stand with charlie hebdo as we all must to defend the art of satire which has always been a force for liberty and against tyranny, dishonesty and stupidity. respect for religion has become a code phrase meaning fear of religion religions like all other ideas, deserve criticism, satire and yes, our fearless disrespect.
12:44 pm
not just the midwest. the powerful winter storm has slammed parts of the middle east including syrian refugee camps in lebanon and big problems, lots of people reportedly stranded with little food and oil for heat because of all the snow that has closed the roads around them. two people reported dead in the storm and we have images of the camps in our slide show this afternoon. this is one of those united nations refugee camps. imagine snow to complicate everything else. see people preparing to remove snow from their tent. here is a syrian girl hiking through the snow with a bucket. it's not everybody had a rough time of it. all. a snowball fight going on. someone hiding just inside. a woman and her son scraping chunks of snow off their tent. the u.n. reports more than 1 million syrians are living in these refugee camps after escaping the civil war at home. back here in the united states, millions of americans are dealing with another winter
12:45 pm
cold snap. the national weather service issued windchill advisories for much of the midwest through the northeast and look at this. all the way down to texas. south alabama closed their doors for schools at least. and in new york, folks around buffalo got nearly a foot of snow yesterday. forecasters say this blast of arctic air will continue to make its way south and east tomorrow. more on the terror attack in paris. analysts say it has not had much of an impact on the markets here in the united states. the dow, for instance, up 200 points today. the reason? well over the last couple days they had triple digit losses, lost about 500 points monday and tuesday, but now on track to have its biggest gains since mid-december. what's that about? gerri willis and the willis report at 5:00 eastern time is here. how do european markets look? >> mighty good. the one bright spot in today's news cycle, stocks up not just here in the u.s. but in europe. the dax in germany ftse in
12:46 pm
london, closing up and they closed after the events in paris. so that tells you that markets are not concerned about this not yet. >> the reason for all this uptick all over europe and the united states? >> mario draghi two words one fella, that leads the european bank. he's expected to stimulate the economy, use his powers as central bank president. everybody loves that. >> stimulus is good. let's switch topics any minute president obama set to give a speech on the economy at a ford manufacturing plant near detroit. a place where things are imperfect. >> things are quite imperfect. as a matter of fact, big irony here is that this plans is closed. at one point -- >> at the moment. >> at one point it employed 5,000 people. it's been shuttered because people aren't buying the ford focus compacts that this plant made. that's a hybrid, of course. a lot of people not buying smaller cars because gas prices are so low. the president wants to talk about what good a job he's done boosting the american auto industry. >> temporary shutdown not going
12:47 pm
