nice to be with you for hour two. i'm leland vittert. welcome to "america news headquarters" from washington. >> and i'm elizabeth prann. here's what's making headlines right now. the sheriff's office in harris county, texas about to have a news conference. could we be learning more about this killer whose image was captured on a gas station security camera. donl trump is bringing in b big crowds today. our political panel joins us for a fair and balanced look at his so-called flip-flops. and remembering the hundreds who lost their lives during hurricane katrina ten years ago this weekend.

a fox news alert as we are standing by for a news conference out of harris county, texas. that is near houston. we're going to bring it to you live as we learn more about a crime that has shock and saddened that community. the execution style killing of one of their finest, houston deputy 47-year-old darren goforth, a husband, a father of two. he was shot multiple times from behind while pumping gas. the sheriff there, ron hickman, overnight says he cannot recall another incident in that city that is so cold-blooded. and for that matter so cowardly. will carr following it all for us before this news conference begins. hi, will. >> reporter: hi, leland. that news conference set to begin any minute now. and we're really looking for some clarification because there's been conflicting reports throughout the course of the morning. what we know as of right now is authorities are talking to a person of interest, a man who they say they're questioning who has not been charged. now, they say this shooting was

a straight up assassination. they say it was an execution style murder. they say the suspect walked up behind harris county deputy darren goforth who just finished filling up his car at a gas station last night. and without warning or any apparent motive hoped fire shooting goforth in the head, in the back. the suspect then standing over the deputy and continued firing while he was on the ground. goforth died at the scene. this morning harris county sheriff's office tweeted, we awoke this morning hoping it was all a bad dream. our hearts are full of grief. thank you for prayers. >> it strikes us in the heart to simply be a target because you wear a badge and for no other reason hit you where you live. >> it's horrifying. it's an act of c--

>> reporter: the same type authorities say they found outside the person of interest house. again, they're questioning that man right now. but as of now no charges, leland. >> last hour we had rod wheeler on talking about how so many police officers really feel like they are embattled like they are targeted because they are wearing a badge. are local police worried about that? is there any kind of warnings out to officers to kind of watch their back? >> well, after the shooting we did hear from the president of the local law enforcement union there in harris county. and he says that they have been warned about potential violence against police officers because of the national sentiment going on against law enforcement. and take a look at some of the numbers. the number of law enforcement killed in 2013, shot and killed, 27. that number jumped in 2014 to 41. deputy goforth is the 23rd member of law enforcement who has died after being shot this year. the harris county sheriff came out after this shooting and said that members of law enforcement all across the country, leland,

need to be on high alert because you never know when the next act of violence could take place. >> well, you do never know, rod wheeler also saying he thought this might be a hate crime. obviously we'll learn more in this news conference that's coming up. you standby as well, will. we'll bring it to you live. will carr in los angeles. thanks, will. now for some perspective and a look back. there is a monument here in washington dedicated to officers who lost their lives in the service to their communities in the line of duty. the names of at least 21 men so far this year will be engraved on that stone in a very somber and solemn ceremony. six officers have been gunned down this month, three of them just this week. deputy darren goforth had spent ten years on the job with the harris county sheriff's department before he died last night. officer henry nelson, age 51, was responding to reports of a triple stabbing when he was shot in sunset, louisiana. louisiana state trooper steven vincent was shot by a sawed off

shotgun when he checked on a vehicle in a ditch. he was 43. in nevada, deputy sheriff carl howl was ambushed when he responded to a domestic battery call in east carson city. he left behind a wife and four children along with two stepchildren. officer thomas la valley of shreveport, louisiana, he was only 29 years old when he was shot and killed answering a domestic dispute call. and in memphis 33-year-old officer sean bolton was killed during a drug bust. six officers so far just this month. here's the news conference now in houston. we'll take it to you live.

>> this is the sheriff of houston who we heard from a little bit earlier overnight after his deputy was shot. he had some incredibly strong words about the fact that his officer who was wearing a badge obviously that badge had now become a target he's there. and obviously we hope to learn more about a possible suspect in this case in the shooting of execution of one of his deputies. >> yeah, that's actually harris county sheriff ron hickman. we heard him last night after the shooting say he can't recall another incident so cold-blooded and so cowardly. what we do know is darren goforth had just a routine traffic incident, violation earlier in the evening. he was filling up his patrol car and he was shot not only in the back by an alleged shooter but the alleged shooter approached him and continued shooting him. so let's listen in now to harris county sheriff ron hickman. >> good afternoon. today the harris county sheriff's office mourns the loss of one of our own.

deputy darren goforth was senselessly struck down while innocently pumping gas at a chevron station in northwest harris county yesterday evening. we are reaching out to the community for assistance in capturing the violent individual responsible for the senseless death of deputy goforth. from video retrieved from the location we know that other individuals drove up to the service station while this incident was going on. we ask them to come forth with information that will assist us in this investigation. i plead today for the public's assistance in our efforts t bring the suspect to justice he so rightfully deserves. any witnesses to the event or persons with information about the suspect are asked to come forward and assist investigators in our efforts. we respectfully ask the media to respect the privacy of the family during this time of tragic loss. the harris county sheriff's office and the houston law enforcement community so many

gathered around me here today collectively grieve the loss of our brother deputy goforth, a loving father, husband, son and committed law enforcement officer. we've heard that a number of media outlets are reaching out directly to the family at home. we'd ask that they respect their privacy and give them their opportunity to grieve. the community's outpouring of love, thoughts and prayers are still needed as we come to grips with the gravity of this tragedy. we've been overwhelmed by support from the community, people that we've never met, don't know, may never see again, to offer substance, food, water, i'll ask our attorney for comments. >> thank you, sheriff. the harris county district attorney's office extends its condolences to the goforth family. we have worked all night assisting in this investigation.

and we will continue to do that until the person is brought to justice. i echo the sheriff's request to please come forward if you have any information. it is time for the silent majority in this country to support law enforcement. there are a few bad apples in every profession. that does not mean that there should be open warfare declared on law enforcement. the vast majority of officers are there to do the right thing, are there because they care about their community and want to make it a safer place. what happened last night is an assault on the very fabric of society. it is not anything that we can tolerate. it is time to come forward and support law enforcement and condemn this atrocious act. so please come forward if you have any information. we need to bring this killer to

justice. at this time rick hartley would like to say a few words. >> thank you, devin. on behalf of the 30,000 members of the 100 club, we'd like the community to know that we are reaching out to help the goforth family. as soon as it is logistically feasible, we will be bringing a $20,000 check to the family to help with immediate needs. and when the time is right, we will be there to do a needs assessment to determine all of the financial needs of that family. all too often when we have tragedies like this we see youngsters, in this case it's no different. we have 5 and 12-year-old children that are left behind. those 30,000 members of the 100 club will make sure that those youngsters have an opportunity to go to the college of their choice when the time is appropriate. i'd like to also just add if the

sheriff so needs it the crime stoppers and the 100 club have partnered together to double the reward that will bring about the needed information to solve this case. we're prepared to step forward when that information from the sheriff is brought to our attention to double the reward to $10,000 if needed. sheriff. >> thank you, rick. thank you, d.a. as you can see we're surrounded by the local law enforcement community, also supported by state and federal agencies as well. this is an issue that strikes at the heart of law enforcement in the criminal justice community. i doubt there are any resources that will be left unapplied, no stone unturned. i will tell you that we have recovered some evidence. we do have video from the scene. so this is an ongoing investigation. but one we absolutely want to do right. we are supported by the entire

justice community in our efforts to make sure this individual is brought to the justice they so richly deserve. we are talking to people. we do have some information. but as this investigation proceeds we will provide information as available. but we ask that you please respect the family's opportunity for grief and to give them time. i will echo also what the d.a. mentioned is some of the very dangerous national rhetoric that's out there today. our system of justice absolutely requires law enforcement be present to protect our community. so at any point where the rhetoric ramps up to the point where calculated, cold-blooded assassination of police officers happens, this rhetoric has gotten out of control. we've heard black lives matter. all lives matter. well, cops lives matter too. so why don't we just drop the qualifier and just say lives matter and take that to the bank. thank you for your attendance.

the working motive for this at this point is absolute madness. we've not found any provocation, any motivation we can put our finger on. it's all speculation at this point. [ inaudible question ] absolutely. at this point he was only tar t targeted because he's wearing a uniform. there's not many civilian occupations you can do where you're shot for what you wear. [ inaudible question ] we're not taking anybody in to custody. we have people we're talking to trying to follow through methodically. we don't want people jumping to conclusions. we want to take the steps in the proper order and follow the evidence through a logical, legal and proper conclusion. [ inaudible question ] we've heard of a woman who was with him at the time -- as far as i know the deputy was by himself. simply walking back to his car.

video demonstrates that. >> any new descriptions of the vehicle or the suspect? >> we had a description of a red pickup. other than what's been shown already nothing new on that. >> that still holds? >> yes. >> in connection to the comments you mentioned in terms of motivating this attack or are you questioning any people from those groups about that? >> not at this point. we always follow that rhetoric. we always make sure we kind of check the temperature or climate and make sure there aren't specific motivations. but as i mentioned earlier we won't leave any stone unturned. and until we know with absolute certainty what the motivation is, it's all speculation. >> sheriff, are you taking any additional steps with your deputies to ensure their safety? anything like that? >> i think the logical sense is that all law enforcement will take extra precaution in being alert and aware of your

surroundings. we'll tell our folks to make sure especially at night that they're aware and make sure they back each other up, make sure they run in teams. i think law enforcement will be doing that across the country. any time you have a clearly unprovoked attack, then you have to make sure you protect yourself. >> sheriff, prior to the shooting investigating a minor accident and folks involved in that incident, have they been excluded from suspicion? have you talked to them? >> i can't say that. all i know is there was a pretty good separation in time by the time he finished the accident until he was getting gas. so it doesn't look at the outset they're involved. [ inaudible question ] >> searched near the crime scene -- >> just through the vehicle. that's all. >> have you confirmed that's actually the truck? >> no, we have not. >> any indication this was anything other than a lone gunman? >> not at this point. all we know from the video is a lone gunman.

[ inaudible question ] >> deputies out there kind of -- >> well, as you can imagine the impact, you know, this is the kind of thing that drives you right down to your soul. i mean, it strikes at the heart of who we are as peace officers. i mean, our job is to carry the badge and gun and protect everybody else. and now we've got to fall back, regroup and take care of one of our own. i mean, this hits us right where the heart. this is not an incident where an individual was provoked by confrontation with an officer. you know, this is just a cold-blooded execution. so how do you protect against that? i mean, causes you to doubt humanity at large. [ inaudible question [ inaudible question ] i don't know who mr. mileston is. >> thank you, ladies and gentlemen. >> that's enough. we'll put out a statement later as more information progresses. >> any other information will come directly to us. any other updates you will be brought up. you will be informed, okay?

>> thank you. >> thank you. >> a press conference now wrapping up in houston. you could tell an emotional and for that matter fairly angry sheriff ron hickman talking about his deputy who was gunned down. and we learned probably the most significant part of this is that earlier they had questioned somebody and there was a debate over whether it was a suspect or person of interest or who this person was. and what you got from this news conference is for that matter they have no idea there in houston who shot and killed deputy darren goforth, left two kids orphaned, a wife behind. they do have a surveillance picture which you would think would be the most important piece of evidence at least that they have so far in this case. and that is a picture of the suspect. let's bring in rod wheeler, former d.c. homicide detective who's been listening along with us and offered some thoughts earlier. we'll get to the issue of cops lives matter, all lives matter and assault on the fabric of

society from the d.a. but i'm most interested right now, rod, in your thoughts on the investigation. >> well, i think this investigation is still a very fluid investigation. as you know, leland, this situation just occurred less than 24 hours ago. i find it a little suspicious or not really suspicious that the police department has not identified a suspect yet because earlier i thought they had actually made an arrest. but it seems to me they are working very diligently to try to find out who committed this o cowardly ambush against this police officer. but the other thing real quickly that i picked up from the press conference is that the police chief is not sure whether or not this one gunman acted alone or not. did he have some accomplices with him? did others see this guy get out of a car that could have had other people in it? and these are the kind of questions, leland, that the investigators are aggressively pursuing right now so they can try to bring this guy behind bars because this guy is still out, apparently. and as long as he's out that

community is in jeopardy. >> yeah, and rod, we did hear from harris county sheriff ron hickman, they do have indications there were a number of other witnesses. so we really heard a call to help. what's going on behind the scenes right now? what do these investigators need from the public right now? >> well, you know, elizabeth, that's an excellent question. i've spoken with some sources down in that area. just to let the viewers know where this shooting took place at that gas station, that's a very busy intersection. and on a friday night like last night that area was packed with people. so they know that a lot of folks saw this actual shooting. what they don't know is who those folks are. so that's why, elizabeth, they're encouraging citizens from down there to come forward. they had the picture of the one guy. it's a little blurry, but even if you remotely think you might know who that person is, come forward, call the cops, you can remain anonymous so they can get this guy off the street and

hopefully find the weapon that he use. now, the chief mentioned in this press conference that they did get some evidence. he didn't say what that evidence was or is, but again, they're still looking for evidence and they're going to continue to look for this guy until they can find him. >> okay, rod wheeler joining us live. thank you for your perspective, rod. we appreciate it. >> thank you. and still ahead, they talk, we shop. will decisions by china's political leaders squeeze the buying power of the u.s. cons e consume consumers? and getting stung by a sting ray and not even knowing it. why police eavesdropping devices could end up revealing some bad guys. we'll have the story coming up.

donald trump continues to dominate the presidential field. >> thank you so much for reading my lines for me, leland. >> it happens sometimes. >> like leland said, donald trump is dominating the gop field polls puts trump on top with a 16-point lead. but he's been given a pass on a series of reversals and flip-flops that would normally sink a candidate. the real estate mogul argues. we look at changes and if trump

will be able to keep his lead. >> read my lips, no more -- >> three years after presidential candidate george h.w. bush said that he signed into law increased royalties. opponents hounded him with accusations of flip-flopping on taxes. fair or not, the flip-flop accusation has damaged many a candidate. >> i actually did vote for the $87 billion, before i voted against it. >> do you think a mandate mandating people to buy insurance is the right tool? >> i don't know how many hundred times i've said this too, this is an unusual interview. let's do it again. >> if you like your health care plan you'll be able to keep your health care plan. >> donald trump now sits high atop the republican field undamaged by numerous flip-flops, on abortion for example. >> i'm very pro-choice. i hate the concept of abortion. so pro-life with the caveats and

you have to have with the cav t cavea caveats. >> on campaign financing. >> i'm using my own money. i'm not using the lobbyists. i'm not using donors. i don't care. i'm really rich. we have a lot of small contributors. i would even take big contributors as long as they don't expect anything. >> trump once favored the legalization of drugs and now opposed. he once proposed a flat tax proposed by steve forbes and now he wants a simpler code. he once opposed a ban on assault weapons and supported longer wait times for guns. he no longer does. once supported the privatization of social security and now doesn't. why are his supporters so forgiving? >> it sounds like you're talking to maybe your uncle who is just a little cranky, but telling it like it is. people relate to that. he's funny. >> i think a lot of other conservatives who are supporting him are just not aware of all of the liberal positions he's taken over the years. and until somebody spends a lot of money on ads publicizing those positions, they're not going to know about them.

>> i've evolved on many issues over the years. you know who else has? ronald reagan evolved on many issues. >> reagan a one-time democrat saying, quote, i didn't leave the democratic party, the democratic party left me. also frequently hounded for many policy and party switches, winston churchill fired back at his critics, quote, some men change their party for the sake of their principles. others their principles for the sake of their party. in washington, doug mckelway, fox news. >> nice quote of churchill. let's bring in andrew, and radio show host marc levine. a matter of principle or politics for donald trump? >> well, donald trump is political but he's not a politician. that's why people are attracted to him. everybody loves success, leland.

i think people evolve like donald trump said i changed at the age of 23 to be a republican. so we evolve in what we believe. and that includes political ideology. >> mark, in the event that mr. trump is the front runner, does these kinds of flip-flops really help a potential democratic nominee in a debate? >> they may have the democrat but they won't harm his big popularity among republicans. the people who support donald trump don't care what his positions are. they don't support him because of his positions. they support him because he's an am aimable, ignorant, filthy rich blow hard. he's stephen colbert, nflt he's the caricature -- >> i so often wonder what you're really thinking and finally now we found out. but you think about what the american people think. look at the quinnipiac what they call the word cloud. they ask people what's the first word that comes to mind when you

say this person's name. this is the word cloud that came out. mark, it's not much different than what you just said although a couple of them are actually censored so we can't say them on tv. crazy, blow hard, arrogant, i see one word in there that's good and that would be honest. so how do people like him, mark, under your theory if they have all these words associated? >> here's why they like him. they don't like him for his policies. they like him because they're opposed to the way politics are right now. they hate the republican establishment. they don't like republicans in congress. they don't like jeb bush who is a pale imitation of his brother. republicans are tired of the leaders -- >> listen, mark, i've had people from my community who are democrats who like trump. so, you know, don't say people don't -- >> angela, before we get to

whether democrats like trump, i'm interested in this. to mark's point in terms of so many republicans who like him because he's anti-establishment, is the establishment in the republican party starting to get worried that donald trump actually presents a chance a real fight for jeb bush and for marco rubio and walker for so-called establishment candidates and all of a sudden the republican nomination could go to donald trump. >> the republican nomination is not going to go to donald trump. donald trump does not set the platform for the republican party. and no, the establishment is not worried. now, i don't like the fact you have candidates that are now actually giving trump more attention. i wish that our candidates would actually talk about the issues and not even mention trump. and that's why people like trump more because now some of our other candidates seem like they're following trump's lead. >> here's how you know that donald trump is a protest candidate rather than a real candidate. >> okay. >> number two is ben carson, also not an establishment candidate. people aren't voting for trump

because they like donald trump, he's fun to watch, they're voting for him supporting in the polls because they don't like the republican establishment and i think that's why ben carson is doing well as well. >> interesting point on ben carson. angela, last word. >> listen, this is a long political season. and the american people are tired of being sick and tired. and they don't like politicians. that's why trump is exciting folks right now. >> the oh so diplomatic mark levine and his descriptions. angela mcglowan, slightly more diplomatic. we appreciate it. all the best. >> thank you. all right. great debate there. so-called sting rays trailing suspected bad guys. why a police tracking device is causing headaches for prosecutors. (crowd cheers) toenail fungus? don't hide it... tackle it with fda-approved jublia! jublia is a prescription medicine proven to treat toenail fungus. use jublia as instructed by your doctor. once applied, jublia gets to the site of infection

nearly 2,000 baltimore cases could be thrown out after an investigation shows police secretly used a cell phone tracking device to help solve crimes.

defense lawyers are planning to ask judges to throw out these convictions. this is an older version of the sting ray device that looks like a normal cell phone tower, but it's not. it's collecting cell phone identification and location data. unbeknownst to the phone's user. the american civil liberty union says dozens of police departments across the u.s. use this powerful technology. but is this device violating the fourth amendment right protecting citizens from unlawful searches and seizures? let's bring in former d.c. homicide detective and fox news contributor rod wheeler -- excuse my mispronunciation, rod. thank you for joining us today. >> sure, absolutely. >> i want you to explain to us how these sting ray devices work for those of us who may not be familiar with them and also how widespread they are. >> okay. the device itself is called the sting ray. a lot of people call it a digital tracking device or digital search device. and the way it basically works in a nutshell is it's sort of like the app find my iphone. you have it on the iphone.

what it does it intercepts the gps location from where that phone came from or where that signal from the phone is coming from. so real quickly here's how it works, you take the device which is about the size of a small microwave oven, elizabeth, and you put the device in between the cell phone tower and the signal. and what happens is is the device will capture that cell phone signal and location. and see that's why, elizabeth, it's been very successfully used by police departments because what we can do is quickly determine if the bad guy -- where the bad guy is located. but based on his gps location. >> okay. but i've seen a number of local investigation pieces being done for years really. >> right. >> they always sort of come to a dead end. is this legal here? because we know there's a nondisclosure agreement between the manufacturer based in florida and all of the police stations across the nation that are utilizing this type of technology. >> that's right. but the reason that that nondisclosure agreement is in place in the first place is

because this technology has been used for years by the military. and it's also been used by the national security agency. so only about the past eight to ten years have local police departments started using this technology. so that's why that nda, which is a nondisclosure agreement, is in place. but a lot of organizations such as the aclu, elizabeth, are arguing now that this device is a violation of an individual's fourth amendment rights, which is the right to be free from an unreasonable search and seizure. now, that's out for debate. what a lot of people are saying, and this is so important for the viewers to understand, what a lot of people are saying is what needs to happen is police needs to get a search warrant from a judge before they use this device. well, that's going to take time. so it's up for debate as to whether or not the legality of this device, but i can tell you that the device is a very powerful tool being used by police departments all across the country. >> right. a very powerful tool. and in so many cases we see

state prosecutors working hand in hand really with police departments. >> right. >> but is this going to cause some trouble in the courts? is this going to be rubbing some prosecutors the wrong way? >> it is going to cause trouble. as a matter of fact, some city jurisdictions have already thrown out some cases where this device has been used. because of that same argument that this was a violation of their fourth amendment. but going forward i would say police departments are going to continue to use the device. and this thing is just going to have to be sorted out in the court of law. but again, at the end of the day it really helps us especially, elizabeth, in tracking missing persons and kidnappings and things like that. it's a real powerful useful device. >> very powerful. rod wheeler, thank you so much. we have certainly utilized you a lot today and grateful for your expertise. >> sure. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. take care. coming up, the world has been rocked by market manipulations by china's communist party leader. we're going to take a closer look at how china's money policy is effecting your shopping cart and your 401(k) right here in america.

it was unquestionably a wild week on wall street. folks said they'd never seen anything like it. the dow tried to recover after opening at one point 1,000 points down on monday morning. and there was hope. we saw two days of gains on wednesday and thursday after some announcements from china. peter morrisi, professor of economics university of maryland joins us now. as we talk really what sort of drove this was the bursting of the chinese stock market bubble. i guess the bigger question is can the chinese stock market bubble bursting take us down? >> well, it could, but it didn't. investors came to their senses on wednesday and thursday before the chinese put liquidity in and the u.s. markets recovered. you know, china can greatly effect us, but i don't think it can destroy us. >> may not be able to destroy

us, but as china continues to hold more and more of our debt and as u.s. companies are more and more dependent on being able to sell to the chinese market, the second largest economy now in the world, do the chinese have the ability to not only challenge us militarily as they have in different ways but also challenge us economically in terms of economic warfare? >> well, certainly the chinese market is important. but now the chinese have become dependent on us. it used to be t-shirts, but now the chinese want to develop technology. they really can't get along without twitter, microsoft, apple and so forth. >> interesting. okay. so where are we now in terms of we had the thousand-point drop on monday. everybody felt like they got punched in the gut for a while. things have recovered a little bit. is this just a blip on the radar that's gone? or is there a bull market or bear market decision to be made? >> no. this is not a blip. we're going to continue to have a lot of turbulence, but it looks as though the u.s. market will recover because growth is picking up in europe and the united states. and american technology so vital to china they're simply going to have to buy the stuff and

american companies will profit. >> are the chinese at some point going to have to get their fiscal and monetary house and policy in terms of currency and stock market regulations and those kinds of things that have in many ways led to these huge up and down fluctuations? >> all along the chinese have thumbed their nose at western economic type of regulations, saying they had a better model. i think that's out the window. either they get more like us or they fail. >> we'll see if that happens. if they fail i think that will be a big story as well. peter morici, appreciate your insight. good to be with you as well, sir. elizabeth. lifting spirits a decade after the devastation. how faith and fellowship transformed katrina's exiled communities hundreds of miles away. >> the uniqueness of america is found in the compassion of its citizenry. and this storm brought that out a lot. mornings. wonderful, crazy mornings.
