good monday afternoon from the deck. trapped with nowhere to run. video shows the terrifying moments of deadly wall of snow and ice slamming into the base camp at mt. everest after the earthquake in nepal that killed thousands of people. >> the ground is shaking. [bleep] >> go, go. [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] publish bleep. >> the claimer who recorded the video survived that avalanche. at least 18 others oner of everest did not. officials say the earthquake killed more than 4,000 people. that's the number now confirmed and it is simply not clear how many are still missing. state department officials say

at least four americans died, including a filmmaker from california physician's assistant from new jersey and a google executive. more now on the quake itself. scientists say the epicenter was 50 miles north of nepal's capital city, kathmandu. more than a thousand people tied in that city alone they tell us. dozens also reported dead in neighboring india and china. so that gives you an idea just how powerful this wake was. those red dots there are the aftershocks that have since occurred, some which have been very strong themselves. and here's a better look at what happened on everest. the avalanche buried part of the base camp. this is the base camp at a her elevation. that part is still more than 17,000 feet up. others are trapped at camps one and two. and sherpas, who set up their camps higher at 3 and 4 up

there, are none accounted for. one man who has climbed everest says on a good day it takes six hours to get through the ice fall to camp 1. so you start at the base camp. then here's the icefall. this is four football fields long, but says this attacks four to six hours on a good day. today it's impossible. rescue teams can not get through. the quake was nepal's worst in more than 80 years and i can show you some destruction over here in monster. it has been a series of crazy pictures to take a look at. here is what part left of the historic tower in kathmandu the quake damaged or destroyed several towers in nepal. this is just one of so many scenes. these next few shots families gathering at what's left of their belongings, landslides have blocked roads and trails into other certain other areas. workers say people desperately

need just basic things like food and blankets and medical treatment. and here on top of the thousands killed tens of thousands of people have been sleeping outside because the aftershocks are so bad they're afraid to go inside. united nations say the earthquake affected more than 8 million people. get to jonathan hunt, who us following the developments. what else too we know about the americans who died in this? report there are four confirmed american deaths, and we should caution that the number could rise, given the number of americans known to have traveled to nepal in this current peak tourism season. among those killed, tom kaplan, a documentary filmmaker actually at the base camp on everest, making a documentary about that camp. we spoke to his wife at a home in santa monica. listen here. >> everybody talks about his --

the light in his eyes and his energy and his humor and zest for life. he was just a larger than life individual. people gravitated to him and were inspired by him. >> reporter: dan fredinburg was also killed. he was a google executive. he was an avid climber described by his sister in a tweet as a quote hilarious strong-willed man. marissa was killed too a doctor with a seattle-based mounteers company like the others friends say she died doing what she loved. now, the state department has named the fourth american as vin tro0ng. others are unaccounted for and many we're hearing about or two still trying to get down from camps 1 and 2 that you were talking about a little earlier. you mentioned that was always a very difficult task. it's been rendered almost

impossible right now. they're trying to get them ought via helicopter. even that very, very difficult and long process, shep. >> a massive international rescue and aid operation underway and the u.s. playing a part. right? >> reporter: playing a very giving part two c-17 cargo planes are on their way. they're loaded with food, water and medical supplies, and what the nepalees government and officials need is money, and the u.s. is doing its part there immediately after the quake secretary of state john kerry announced $1 million in aid. today he upped that significantly. saying the u.s. would contribute another $9 million on top of that. u.s. rescue teams are also arriving, including urban search and rescue experts from here in l.a. all of the aid, of course, much needed, and remember, as you look at these pictures and everything that has happened in nepal, the rescuers, first responders, have not even made it to some of the more remote

towns and villages. so that death toll, which currently stands at around 4,000, is almost certainly going to rise significantly higher, shep. >> certainly makes sense sadly. jonathan, thank you. let's bring in michael kubold. climb mt. everest twice a watchmaking business in nepal and had employees over there part of a relief effort over there. it's my understanding you had contact with friends on the mountain? >> yes. we've been in contact. apparent live they're stuck because of the avalanche that hid the icefall, and they're not able to come through the icefall, because typically you have ladders tied with string together that bridge the big crevasses, and those are all gone. >> we showed a map earlier. there's a base camp and then there's 1 and 2 with the icefall in the middle. you're talking about people at camps 1 and 2. >> and also 3 and 4 sher's a at the higher camps. >> has anyone reached the

sherpas in. >> there's no confirm confirmation anybody century survived. it's my understanding the ropes they set up are gone and people have to try to get to them. the sherpas could climb down without ropes about it's ang extremely dangerous angle. >> there is way up there? >> well, you could fly a helicopter if you stripped it down but that hasn't been done for quite a while. right now no. >> and then it's about weight and using a helicopter for rescue with more than one person, that sounds like a very difficult task. it's possible, is it? >> it is possible. it has been done before. the problem is really you're on a rotary wing aircraft and the air is too thin, and so up to the pilot and i know some of the pilots have been in touch, and they have decided not to do it right now. there are other objectives first. >> you talked to base camp. i wonder if anybody has a head count, how many people are we talking about, three four -- we

don't know. >> well, we do know it's about ten sher's a sherpas who are higher than camp 2. they're setting up the fixed lines up to the summit of everest. mt. everest is the only mountain that has lines from the bottom to the top. >> what about people who might have been climbing too. early for that. >> they're just acclimb tieing at camps 1 and 2. >> lots of people at the base camp. >> yes. >> what do we know about the situation with those people, if they're able to get what they need? >> those people have the luxury of being able to walk out. that doesn't take more than two hours and they can get to the nearest lodge, and then another two hours to the nearest lodge after that. so those people are fine. if they can walk. >> man, it's nice to talk to you. keep us updated. >> thank you. >> with so many people missing after the earthquake, some companies are offering tools to help separated loved ones check on each other, and sarah has

details on that. it must be so frustrating not be able to get any word out. >> i can imagine not knowing but a handful of companies are trying to make that easier. so google, for instance, has google person finder. they set up a nepal earthquake site. if you're looking for someone you can enter their information here. people on the ground, if they contacted someone they'll enter that person's information here. so organizations working, aid organizations, and this will link them up. so that you can know if your loved one is safe. right now google is tracking 6100 records just from this earthquake in the last few days. there's also something called facebook safety check. if you were near where this earthquake or avalanche happened facebook would send you a notification saying are you safe? if you hit i'm safe, that's going to send an alert to all your facebook friends and your loved ones. >> oh, wow. >> letting them know, i'm okay, even if i can't reach you. and also tells you of for your friends who were in the affected area, who has marked safe, who

hasn't. if you didn't get the notification you can ethen go to the nepal page and they'll let you know which friends were in the area at the time. there are also a handful of companies who are either completely waiving or reducing the cost of calls and texts to the area to make that easier for people trying to connect with folks over there. >> this is coming together quickly. that's great to see. >> absolute lie. >> if you're watching tonight-8:00 in london or 9:00 in paris and you have friends in kathmandu, make those calls and then here in the united states, the same way connect through these different ones. they're on our web site if you need help. politics now. hillary clinton's reps are hitting back against this book that raises some sorts of questions about donations the clinton charitable foundation and they say interviews the awe -- that the author did over the weekend proves he left out key facts. you can decide yourself. coming up on a busy news day from fox news channel. i hate cleaning the gutters. have you touched the stuff?

live look at los angeles. this is actually grenada hills california. a high-end neighborhood in the san fernando valley. we know how the wet season didn't happen and the drought is five years in and the fear was there would be bad fires. santa ana winds are up, temperatures high, the humidity is low relatively speaking, and

these santa ana winds expected to pick up in the early. we're early on in the noon hour and expecting more winds later in the day and even lower humidity. fire crews have been trying to battle flames. "los angeles times" says 200 firefighters plus are out there but we have also been looking at some pretty fancy homes where homeowners are out with garden hoses, and sort of trying to douse their own structures. the fire department reports there are ten homes in danger of being burned by the fire, trying to protect them, but the residents of all ten homes have safely been evacuated, according to the reporting of the los angeles county fire department. the fire has been going on for a little while but got 200 people out to fight it. we'll take you back for updates throughout the afternoon. a representative for presidential candidate hillary clinton says the latest accusation involving donations to her family's foundations are nothing but false innuendo.

the upcoming book called "clinton cash" raises questions about foreign donations to the clinton foundation. while hillary clinton was secretary of state. yesterday the ceo of the clinton foundation acknowledged the charities did make mistakes in the way it revealed tax -- donations on tax formed but a campaign representative says the author's latest tv interviews show the so-called conspiracy theories are just that, theories. ed henry is in washington. sounds like the author is playing defense. >> no doubt. peter switzer was on fox news sunday, and abc this week, where he was pressed on the fact he does not have direct evidence as secretary of state signed off on that uranium one deal. significant, of course, because the people would wanted that deal to go through had poured millions of dollars interest the clinton foundation. here's our own chris wallace

grilling switzer. >> if i may you don't have a single piece of evidence that she was involved in this deal, that she sent a memo to the person -- the state department representative on the committee and said, we want to prove the -- >> i am a journalist and don't have access to government records and don't haveaccess to ear e-mails. >> switzerer is trying to say he is being honest, he could not connect all the dots but think thursday questions about some deals. questions that should be investigated by congress and perhaps others as well. >> the foundation refile something tax returns? >> yes, and they apologized of the weekend, saying that these were mistakes that were made, and lanny davis, a long-time ally of the clintons also went on "fox news sunday" to say this. >> i don't think but for a few inned a vert tent errors they've ever violate dub din inadvertent

rival gangs in baltimore are banding together to, quote take out cops.

that's the word in a tweet from the city's police department regarding the bloods, the crips and another gang said to be organizing and coming together for murder. this comes after a weekend of what was sometimes violent protests over the death of freddie gray in police custody. the department put out a strongly worded statement that members of various gangs including the black guerrilla family, bloods and crips entered into a partnership. and that would be very unusual -- to take out law enforcement officers. this is a credible threat. now they will give us no specifics other. >> more than a thousand people rallied at baltimore city hall. a group of this demonstrators looted a store and smashed windows. riot cops tried to control the crowd as one protester threw a flaming trash can at officers. police report nearly three dozen arrests. this morning huge crowds attended a funeral for freddie

gray. he died after hi spinal cord was somehow severed following an arrest. his crime running from the police and making eye contact. the baltimore police department reports it is investigating how freddie gray was injured and why it took so long to get medical treatment. the officereds involved are on administrative leave. opening statements ban in the colorado movie master trial. a live look inside the courtroom and you can see the accused gunman on the far left side of the screen. this is the only view we get. it's just the one camera, i'm told there will not be closeups of nip. he is said to be in restraints according to those in the courtroom, set up so that people in the jury cannot see them. that includes a harness said to be strung through the legs of his pants and connected in some way to the floor. prosecutors will try to convince jurors this man james holmes, should die for murdering 12 people and hurting 70 others.

james holmes admits he did dress in combat gear, storm a movie theirer and and open fire at the showing of "the dark knight rises." one of the worst mass shootings the united states has ever season. bull james holmes is pleading not guilty help claims he had a psychotic episode. prosecutors have to convince jurors beyond a reasonable doubt that james holmes was season enough to know right from wrong during the attack. our courtroom producer notes that holmes ditched the bright orange hair for his trial and appears mostly, quote preppy looking, wearing a button down shirt and khakis, similar to how he dressed during the jury selection process. our report is it outside ocourthouse. prosecution warned of graphic testimony. >> reporter: that's right. and it's beginning with the opening statements. district attorney george brockler has told the jury that

james holme trade to murder a theater full of people to make himself feel better and increase this self-worth. he also revealed one of the biggest mysteries this case has held under the going order and that is the two enemy health evaluationes performed on james holme came back with the result, both of them, that a he was sane. the judge asked both sides to let him know when they plan to show something particularly graphic. that way he can warn family members members and of victims and survivors. the prosecution is expected to detail all the ways it says holme went through meticulous planning. it must prove to everyjuror the defendant was sane. >> i expect the defense will come out with much more on an explaination who james holme is. what brought him to colorado,

when was it that he began to experience mental health issues. >> reporter: the jury will have three choices. is he guilty, not guilty, or not guilty by reason of insanity. he has already admitted to the crime and offered to plead out for a life sentence, something the d.a. rejected. so much of this case hinges on mental illness. >> this has already been a pretty long process. >> reporter: almost three years and the family members of victims and survivors so many of them are here and some feel it will be cathartic. others want to get it over with. the family members of the people who died here are concerned the world is going to forget what this is really about the 12 people killed. people like the youngest victim who was shot four times. veronica's mother survived bus miscarried and was left paralyzed. there are a quite a few parent here's in the name of their dead

children. the district attorney said it would take him an hour and a half if he were to speak about each victim for just a minute. >> thank you. let's bring in mercedes cole. they want the death penalty here, and i guess that is going to hinge you've said, on what he was thinking. >> for sure. a lot of it is going to boil down to their jurors. it is extreme what he was accused of doing. here's the final analysis in all this. was he psychotic when he was buying the guns when bought the ammunition the armor the tear gas grenades? this jury has been impaneled and said the could deliver and impose a death penalty so we know they don't have any sort of emotional attachment not to do. so you have a panel that's going to say yes he should receive the death penalty or not. but a lot of it's going to depend on whether his insanity plea is actually accepted. >> there's no question about guilt or innocence whether he did this. >> exactly.

>> no one is arguing he didn't do it. they're arguing he doesn't deserve to tie because he is mentally ill. how high is the threshold. >> very high. have to show beyond a reasonable beyond a reasonable beyond a reasonable doubt he knew what he was doing. they're saying he was psychotic at the time he is actually edge gauged in shooting 82 individuals, killing 12. the prosecution says hell knew right from wrong at the moment. the difference is saying he was psychotic at that time. it's hard for juries to say people are psychotic. only two percent of these casers successful. weird about colorado, the prosecution has he burden. unlike other jurisdictions where it's the defense to establish it. >> opening statements just began. one of the first things that came up was the two different doctors who say separately that this defendant is sane, was sane at the time. we'll have a battle of opposing experts, i assume. >> absolutely. undoubt itly. even with something like that

the jurors are going to say you have an expert that says he was sane another one said he was sane. they're going to boil it down and say look what he did? it's hard for jurors to say we'll excuse what you did and killed these 12 people, and these other 70 you shot, because you wanted to -- you didn't understand right from wrong? it's very hard, especially when you talk about all the plans. months of planning. it's hard for the jury to say we'll give him a pass. >> thank you. >> my pleasure. >> secretary of state john kerryes set to middle east with iran's don diplomat a few manipulateses from now. lawmakers want to give congress the power to reject any possible agreement. politics? we'll have more on that. plus a powerful storm system blowing train car us right of their tracks. a live update as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news on fox news channel. across america, people are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar

but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face li, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness,

very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal. stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

breaking news now. live pictures from the baltimore area. this is -- oh, my. this is near the mall on -- this is happening live now. university of maryland baltimore, numerous downtown businesses closed early today for fears of downtown violence. now we have seen large groups of people who are here to be setting up for a clash with police. this again live pictures as the cops are clearly on the move in what appears -- i don't want to say riot gear but full clad to protect themself asks to try to keep protesters from getting out of hand. the families of the man who died in police custody which is still under investigation, have asked for no violence today but now police are lined up and there are large crowds gathering. we'll keep a live look. any updates -- these are live pictures in baltimore. updates as the happen throughout the afternoon.

breaking news now. continuing coverage out of situation

appears to be, well, deteriorating. i don't have a sense for how many people are involved in this but i can tell you that we have witnessed a number of people making moves towards police. they had a large antiriot vehicle of some sort there a s.w.a.t. vehicle of some kind. and they were throwing a lot of things at it. 0 police began to mass, and now you can see a number of young people are sort of standing up to the cops as they -- they work in clad in what appears to be riot gear. some had shields most of them don't. the police appear to be carrying batons. and they're trying to do crowd control. and they don't want people in the streets. there's been a concern all day about some gatherings that were supposed to happen today around 3:00. i mentioned earlier the mall closed down early. some universities have closed down early. they closed at 1:00 because

police were concerned about what exactly was going to happen once people gathered. earlier today there was a funeral and a memorial for freddie gray, the 25-year-old man who died this month after being arrested by police. there was violence -- no other way to describe it -- saturday night in baltimore and the family had asked please keep things peaceful, at least until we can bury freddie gray and have this memorial service and up until this moment, everything has been fine. i wouldn't categorize what we have seen now watching these live pictures and as violin except nor fact they have thrown a lot of something at police vehicles. i haven't seen any person-on-person attacks or anything like that. but these crowds gathering have become sort of the order of the day. the big picture is here, a man was put into a police van and

walked into that police van and 30 minutes later when he got out of the police van his attorney says his spine was partially severed and he would later die. that man's name is freddie gray. what police have not been able to do is explain what happened while freddie gray was in the van that cautioned hid spine to do from apparently fine to apparently severed and led to his death. six police officers have been on what they're calling administrative leave which means leave with pay as the investigate. but the slowness of the investigation and the lack of information from the baltimore police department has left -- led to scenes like this. everything was initially very peaceful. there were a couple of day if not three days, of very peaceful protest. that changed beginning at least on saturday, if not the day before but saturday night

escalated into violence, and during that time, the family eventually came forward and said look, please, please make this a nonviolent thing. but according to the reporting locally there in baltimore and you can see the police doing some spraying here, trying to keep the crowds back. you can see the people in the police's face and this officer here brought out something that appeared to be pepper spray small can to try to disperse people. you can see people running around police trying to form. there have been criticisms the baltimore police didn't get organized early enough and that they weren't able to keep this from happening saturday night. but thaw vowed they could keep it from happening today because they said they were ready. i'm going lead a little bit what happened from the port reporting of the "baltimore sun." i read from a piece that eric goo green posted ten minutes

ago. talking bat large group of juveniles and police in riot gear clashing near the mall while the university of maryland at baltimore ask downtown businesses closed early out of fears of violence downtown. lexington market, a city courthouse businesses, police warned them of large gatherings of protesters in the downtown area now days after the protests over the death of freddie gray turn destructive. that was true on saturday night. they circulated a flier again -- i'm reading directly from the baltimore sun -- a high school purge was to take place at 3:00 today starting at the mall and then ending downtown. these have been showing up and nope to circulate based on the film "the percentage" based on what would happen if all laws were lifted. so a bunch of kids involve in a very very serious police and law enforcement matter, after

the tragic death of a man who by all accounts, including the reporting of the police department itself, began his encounter with baltimore police by looking at them. the first thing on the report was that he made eye contact. and that is the reason, according to the reporting of the baltimore police, they moved forward on this man. this next thing that happened was, according to the baltimore police report, he ran from them. so his two crimes that day were, a. making eye contact and b., running from police. i tell you this because they have made no other accusations. about what freddie gray did that day. so, judge napolitano, our senior judicial analyst has said that the arrest was and i quote absolutely illegal unquote. unless and until they come up with some other thing that freddie gray might have done but the police reports indicate nothing but a., looking at

them and b., running from them. so neither one of those is an arrestable offense and if we take it farther freddie gray was brought into a vehicle and hauled away by police. when you're in police custody your safety is the responsibility of the police, the government has taken you you are in government control no longer your own and the government is responsible for your safety and well-being. that is how this works. but while in custody of the government of the police, something happened to freddie gray. his spine was, by all accounts, severed or almost severed and he went for medical treatment much longer than baltimore police say after the should have had medical treatment. the baltimore police have come forward publicly to say we do not have an explanation why he did not get medical treatment sooner. and freddie gray would later die. an otherwise healthy 25-year-old man who was put into custody for looking at them and running from them and nothing more, that

they've said over the course of almost the last two weeks and now they have six officers suspended. we have heard nothing from the officers and have no information about what the officers said, if anything to authorities. we do know that today they buried freddie gray, and today we still have no real information about what happened. we are led to believe there's an investigation underway. and that they are working to get to the bottom of this, and we have no reason to doubt them. except for the fact that it's been a long time, and there is no explanation for what happened. bring that to today saturday night there were riot oz sorts. violence in the streets. widespread. the family comes forward on sunday and says, look, we need to grieve, we need to be able to bury freddie gray and have this memorial service tomorrow, which is today hail. that the memorial service earlier today. you have seen some on our web properties or is are otherwise and now the funeral is over,

people have been disdismissed and school children have sent out this notification they're going to be on the move. now we see much larger crowds and the fear has been, according to the officials, that outsiders who want to agitate and into potentially school children who don't understand big picture will come out and do things that will cause more harm to more people while making the case that what happened to freddie gray was in their estimation, another in a long line of problems with the baltimore police department. of course you get different stories but they have a very serious problem in baltimore maryland today. a city which has had problems of this sort between police and people in minority and low income neighborhoods and now riot police are on the move, children are on the run and there are many, many great concerns about how all of this will e end up.

right there in the center of the screen, what happens to be juveniles throwing things at police. we're going to watch this and not agitate it. we'll do that right after we take a quick commercial and she might have if not for kari, the identity thief who stole jill's social security number break

continuing coverage now in the clashes are growing in baltimore. the top of the wall here you see police many of whom do not have shields in front of them, inexplicable. some of them do, though. and then down here, large groups of what appear to me -- we have been watching closely -- to be mostly juveniles school's out. they sent out this thing saying they were going to purge and march. police are now reporting that these kids are throwing, i say kids because that's what i'm led to believe it is -- are throwing bricks and bottles at police, and we can confirm that now because we have been watching. in some cases construction

debris some cases brick bats, bottles, but they've been aggressive about it, and you can see these police officers are picking some of -- those aren't police officers. those are the kids. and -- no, these are police officers now, who are picking things up and throwing them become at the juveniles. some of these -- you see this officer has a shield. some of them do. but if you look to the back, the ones who are back farther they don't have shields. so these cops have a mask, children are throwing brick bats at them, and the police are apparently, from all we have seen retaliating with the rocks thrown at them. it's an extraordinary almost -- felt for the moment there like the palestinians and the israeli army. but now the police are moving. and you can see -- you'll be able to see. some of them have riot shields those acrylic shields they use

to protect themselves from stones and rocks which are 100% being thrown at them. and some of them do not. the guys in the white shirts always the guys in charge. this one in the white shirt does not have anything so he is backing up hip those. we have watched the police try to make a move on the juveniles but look at the street down here. it's littered with these brick bats and the kids are fully moving on police and police are backing down. so what do you do now? do you bring out water cannons pepper spray to dispercent the crowd? if a police officers is hit and down what do you do with more teens who are rushing you at the time? do you reach a point where officers have to, to protect themselves and their lives return fire in some way? besides with the brick bats which they are clearly throwing. this is an extremely intense and

scary moment. i think i can surmise. because if the kids continue to move on the police, and the kids are backing them down, say a police officer is injured and down in the street, and then you good to try to save the police officer, at some point some of these people, who are moving on police and have backed them up now at least two blocks, they will have to be stopped in some way. and when police begin returning if a child gets hurt, you already have a boiling caldron in baltimore. and to turn it up another notch would be a scary thing. i got -- from police just a little while ago word they're being -- things are being thrown at them. you see one of them lying down in the street here. and they've shut down a number of malls. the train station is closed. they brought in a larger vehicle. if not the same one twin we saw earlier, and they were initially just pelting it with rocks some construction debris.

now you see some flash bang things going off. this would disperse either pepper spray or -- could be something more severe. i'm not going to say they've just put mace in the street to disperse the crowd but would not be surprising. the winds are moving back this way, and the kids are now on the run. the question is, does this stop it? you can hope that violence notes escalate -- does not escalate in a way the victim's family says they hope it doesn't. no police officers are injured. that none of these frankly children and teenagers we're led to believe by the baltimore police that's what this is. that none of them are injured. to compound the tragedy of already a death in police custody that is frankly at this moment inexplicable. we now have a separation of police and demonstrators again believed to be teenagers. these same police who came out

to try to block off the street, are now scattered about and you can see the crowds are building. i told you the train station is closed. and we are working to -- clearly the police are closing down these roadways 0 so a lot happening in baltimore at this moment. the crowds have been backed up by the spray of some sort. now on the phone with us is a boy baltimore sun "reporter. >> i am not on scene and i'm headed there right now. >> looks like things have escalated to the point where police are returning rock and brick fire with rock and brick fire. >> there's a lot of panic. every newsroom has a police scrapper and we hear panic. it's unclear how this started. early afternoon, there was reports of businesses downtown, college campuses, financial institutions being told to shut down over this basically miami

going around social immediate use, all high school holystones, would gear to purge today a reference to a movie where there was a period of laween things like that didn't come to fruition but because of the current climate the officers showed up in full force. this an area where teens catch buses to go home. there's ten bus stops there and a subway communicate city kids ride public transportation, so it's unclear to what extent they were trying to go home or participating in this rumor going on but it's turn into a serious situation. >> we were watching in the beginning, and i'm guessing you were too as the one vehicle began with just a few people, throwing just a few things at that one vehicle and then lines and lines of police coming out to -- in an apparent attempt to establish some order and then as the number of students grew, the number of police seemed to

grow and almost felt organic in its evolving there. >> i think people all over might be watching this play out on television and social media and getting curious and wandering down itch think there's some criticism that police are facing as they sort of -- the heavy presence sort of attracting, and it's impossible to say what might have hand had they not been there the mall is shut down. the transportation hub is shut down. there are police all over the city right now. our inner harbor is completely flooded with police. there's no reports of anyone down there. there's other areas of the city that also have a beefed up police presence. a really intense time right now. all over police are standing on guard for the possibility of something. >> again just justin fenton on the line with us. whatever the something is, appears to be developing before our eyes. i'm seeing so many police out. is that all city of baltimore. >> they have reinforcements.

they have been increasingly reach taught partner agencies to bring them in there are officers from other jurisdictions as far south as prince george's county, which is a good 45 minutes drive from here. so, we have a lot of police in the city right now. >> well, justin, all the best to you and your colleagues at the "sun" there. justin's point is valid and just right on point. you don't know what -- if the children had sent out the mme an online flier for old people. if they've sent out the flier saying everybody is going to good purge in other words march as if the were no laws. and the police don't show up and they do that, then the police are certainly why didn't you show up, they said they we about there if you show up in large numbers and a few people throw a few rocks at one vehicle and you begin to try to control things without the able to control them, well, we have kind of witnessed that happening here

as well. so it's not to say there's no judgment at this moment on what caused this to erupt. but we have watched it erupt and know it began with just a few because we had the helicopter overhead, thanks to the service's wjz our network news affiliate in the baltimore area with watched it happen live. you can see the police working to take back the street. we know that subway stations closed and buses aren't coming. you heard that from justin tenton this is where they get on the subway. but the subway is closed, of this i'm assured. buses are not coming through i'm receiving many, many reports. now police are trying to regain order in an area where all these kids should be leaving to go home. and what we have had is a lot of rock and bottle throwing between these -- described to me as teenagers and police, and right now, it appears we're at a lull and hopefully it's going to very

much calm down. but there's certainly nothing to show that will be the case. looked like a little mace did some dispersing. if you look in the streets the police made their line, and now you see kids on the -- this is a live picture now of wbff, our station in baltimore on the back side of the police line, and if you watch you'll see items being hurled at the officers. the officers are maintaining their ground here, but you see down the street from this on the ground camera -- i saw a moment ago and see a few more things being hurled at police. if you are the police, what are you supposed to do? that's why these matters are -- listen to the reporter. >> rocks and bricks at the officers as we speak. police have their riot gear on, they have their shields but these are young people. they look like teenagers throwing rocks and bricks at the police officers here.

police have been saying, move, move move, move back, move back. it seems like these kid have gone into the neighborhoods rearmed themselves and returned here throwing these rocks and bricks. again, we're live here. people again are throwing debris at police. it is out of order here, definitely. that's an understatement, i presume. it's out of order. hundreds of young people here, throwing debris at police. if you look down there you may see where police now are advancing on the crowd. they're advancing on the demonstrators or agitators, as some people are calling them here. they say they're here in the name of freddie gray but this is not the peaceful protest the family and others have asked that demonstrators participate in be careful there. that police have -- others have asked people to participate in. so they're trying to restore

order here -- watch it -- near the mall but clearly out of order. back to you in the studio. >> be careful. >> you can hear a escape of absolute chaos. horns are honking, rocks incoming reporters behind the police lines. there is no order and apparently at least for he moment there's no re-establishing it. the reporter and photographer are now clearly backing up to get out of the line of fire, and from the aerial cameras you can see that this is -- it's a quickly unfolding and still developing situation. where the kid have marched on the cops, who came down there to keep the kids from marching, and now they're trying to figure out what to do next. a very difficult process for those in charge, for the last thing you want this to do is escalate. you've certainly do not -- you

certainly do not want anyone else police or anyone else to get hurt. it looks as if this will be a busy afternoon and we'll be back with you as news events warrant. handing it over to "your world" and neil cavuto. >> the scene in baltimore maryland this hour, police in riot gear are clashing and have been for two hours with protesters, groups of teens charging police with rocks bricks, any other type of debris. but as this violence is the answer it? was baltimore mayor stephly rowling-blake who wanted to give space for those who want to destroy, many interpret that as a greenlight to do what they are doing now. but all of this after a funeral earlier today for freddie gray, the young black man who was killed in police custody had his spine broken weapon don't know the sequence of events. what we do know is
