>> griff: the suspected gunman who police say opened fire on independence-day parade is in custody after an hours-long manhunt. investigators say he climbed a ladder before shooting at spectators and participants below. you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm griff jenkins. >> ashley: and i'm ashley strohmier. the holiday celebration turned

into chaos. six people are dead and 30 hurt in the horrific attack. a chicago 911 dispatcher says this is typically a quiet area. >> wonderful communities, quiet area, michael jordan previously lived there, this is not some troubled area we normally see things of this nature. across the united states, these things can happen anywhere. >> ashley: the first victims are being identified, including nicolas toledo, a grandfather who flew in from mexico to visit family. we are learned more about the suspected gunman, including a history of violence leading up to the attack >> griff: jonathan will break it down, thank you for joining us. what do you think is the motive here? what can you tell us about what

we're learning about the suspect? >> i think one thing, griff, this individual follows a pattern we continuously see with mass shooters. an anti-social type of personality, many of these people and i would not be surprised this individual has left this leaning policy tendencies, although that is not always the case. we're seeing them more active when politics and division is more active. go all the way back to lee harvey oswald and see you this. there are signs given by this individual, anti-socialist behavior, ethics and morals people will reflect on and say this individual was somebody who could do something like this, we have to come up with way of looking for this type of

individual and we need to start identifying these people before they do this because this guy is showing they telegraph these things long before. he had a youtube page, he was putting things up, very odd. pictures of him in drawings pointing guns at people. there was projection here and it was missed. >> ashley: there was a newspaper clipping about lee harvey oswald, do you think social media could have done a better job at flagging and do a better job at flagging posts like this, they could have let people know this is going on on social media and youtube. >> definitely, all the social media out there with exception of a few that is not left leaning.

they are so concerned with politics and their ideology, they fail to see these things and capture these things. we've seen multiple times, individuals have gone on social media and put things that are blatant and social media will immediately take something down that goes against their values and against anything left leaning. i know i'm sounding political, but this is reality. go back 50 years ago when social media didn't exist and these occurrences were rare. now division is out of control and the people causing that in a lot of cases are not policing when individuals go on there and not policing their sites to point this out and find them. >> griff: a tragedy on the 4th of july, jonathan gilliam, thank you for your insight.

check out your book, the art of awareness and attack survival. jonathan gillian, thank you so much. >> ashley: to another fox news alert. in philadelphia, police officers were shot during a concert and fireworks show. one officer struck in the shoulder and another suffered a wound to the head, the bullet lodged in the officer's cap, both are now out of the hospital. the mayor is blaming the violence on the supreme court. >> it was a laid-back, chill day, we live in america and we have the second amendment and the supreme court of the united states telling everybody they can carry a gun like dodge city. >> ashley: gop state lawmakers pull for larry krasner's impeachment. there have been 1000 shootings

in philly and 230 deaths. and akron, ohio declared state of emergency yesterday amid protesters calling to defund the police following the shooting death of a 25-year-old named jalen walker. a group of protesters damaged buildings and started fires, a city curfew went into effect and fireworks display was cancelled. walker was involved in a car chase last month, he got out of his car and were shot multiple times. akron police chief says akron was shot more than 60 times, eight officers have been put on leave. nypd detective is turning his badge in after 18 years on the force. he says the pro-criminal bail policy is forcing him and hundreds of others out the door. we're talking to him next.

crime policy making the city streets more dangerous issue including our next guest who retired after 18 years of service. retired nypd detective joins me now. jason, the nypd, 250 retired, that is 2000 less than two decades ago, what is new york city going to look like without detectives on the streets fighting this crime? >> you know, actually i would not want the city, you are losing experienced detectives, losing experienced cops. there are nobody to teach the ones coming up, that is not good for public safety, to be honest with you. >> ashley: talk about how tough it is to put people in jail and no quicker do you put them in jail than they put them back on

the street, talk about how frustrating it is and how unsafe it makes everything. >> that's just the thing. you do all this work to go after the person that committed the crime and you take them and go down to court, it's the district attorneys that don't push the charges you are charging them with. before you know it, they are back at the precinct picking up their belongings and they are out again preying on the people of new york. >> ashley: when it comes to making arrests with criminals on the streets, talk about one of it is new laws restricting officers from putting pressure on a person's diaphragm, how will that further complicate the issue? >> in the last couple years i've seen it is more about off-hands

approach to policing. police officers are unwilling to put their hands on people because of risk of their career and future and their families. you could be sued at any moment and the job won't back you if they have an inkling you did one thing wrong. you'll have police officers that don't want to put their hands on each other and putting themselves in danger as well as the public. >> ashley: nypd police officers retiring at this rate, i will put the numbers back up. 2018, 789 officers retired, but so far in 2022, 1472 have retired. you will eligible for retirement, 18 years on and three years with corrections puts you well over your 20-year mark, a lot of detectives are not jibl for retirement, they

are losing out on part of their pension because they are so sick and tired of not having backup from the state level or the city level. talk to us about that, i know you have worked with people who vested out and thrown in the towel. >> this is true. i've seen other people go to other departments, who leave for greener pastures, for more money or this type of government that doesn't back you at all. vesting out, people are fed up, you talk to people in the office and other cops and they are like, this job is not what i thought. guys in my position, this is not the job i joined. when i came on, we were doing our job, our bosses backed up, the city and state backed us.

now it is not like that, it is backing of other elements and not us and it is frustrating for us. >> ashley: jason caputo, enjoy retirement. good luck and thank you for getting up early with us. did you see this?

does not represent them and they are ready for a change and they are looking for a champion who represents their conservative values in congressional district five. >> ashley: you are running against her to get her out office, what are you running on to get people to vote for? >> the somalis are not running as a modelist. i knew when i entered this race a year ago, i needed to leave no stone unturned and form coalition to win this race. we are running on public safety, we are fighting crime and working on bringing issues to the people and getting them to understand we're focused on kitchen table issues, gas, gas prices, it is groceries and formula for babies. and we are running on education, families in minneapolis and

the car was spotted that crimo was believed to have been driving. >> a brief pursuit went on, ultimately they were able to get the suspect stopped at wesley and 41 in wake forest, the suspect was taken into custody without incident. >> crimo's uncle says his nephew was an aspiring rapper. his social media includes a drawing of a man holding a rifle on another. they had gathered along the parade route yesterday, many staking out spots to get a prime view of the festivities, people mistook the shots for fireworks before realizing what they were. the shooter targeted people from a roof, possibly accessed from a

influential, i will map the policy solution and i'm a fifth generation educator. whatever school our kids attend, we want them to get a fair shot at understanding the principals of this country. we are the last best hope for the world. if we can inculcate that to our kids to read portions of the declaration of independence, that gives them a balanced view without doing something millennials and generation z abhor, white washing our history. when we have balanced opinion, young americans understand this is a terrific country. >> ashley: n.p.r. ditched 33-year-long tradition of reading the declaration of

independence to focus on the definition of equality. listen chltz >> many debates turn on what equality means what voting rules give equal access to ballot, do abortion laws give a woman equal control over her body? what point is fetus entitled to equal rights? >> ashley: dr. roberts, your take on this? >> n.p.r. doesn't represent the majority of americans who are grateful for what we have in this country and perhaps we need to revisit the federal funding they get and say they can't live without. it is their right to do that type of thing. what is the harm in rereading the declaration of independence. all americans across the spectrum understand what the declaration gave us is equality of opportunity more than any

is not just at the handing of smugglers migrants are dying along this major trek. >> what happened to the 53 men, women and children was devastating, what they had to endure, needless loss of life. it is daily tragedy, and not just immigrants are being killed, it is border patrol and nation guardsmen who are losing their lives. we saw one drown trying to save immigrants trying to cross the river, this is all due to poor planning, poor policy, lack of leadership, lack of preeshgsz of life, lack of support for border control agents to help them improve structure. we sea death occurring and we look at disease coming in, title 42, remain in mexico policies

help keep transmission of communicable disease out of the united states or help to check and screen patients, immigrants coming in. we see tuberculosis, measle hepatitis. it poses a health crisis for americans. >> griff: that is an important point. i was on a pecan farm, and while interviewing the woman, many migrants are sick. i traveled with the caravan in 2019, 7000 miles to cross from eagle pass, there were many migrants with tb and other illnesses, it is a dangerous trek and the policies of this administration is a big factor they believe if they can endure it, they will be successful and be allowed to stay. we're out of time, thank you for

control. we have got to get this under control. >> new york congresswoman claudia tenney joining us now. thank you for taking time. was the president meeting the moment there? >> not at all. this is a problem that we have in our society. i listened to some of your guests this morning. we are talking about independence day. and what nobody has really mentioned is the concept of our government and our independence is self-governance. self-accountability. and the ability to protect yourself. and, yet, they are talking about more gun laws. we haven't met the mark yet. we have had all kinds of these horrific tragedies whether it's using a gun, crashing in to parade using a vehicle and killing others, and we have a lack of self-governance. a lack of accountability and it's oso easy the knee-jerk reaction is to blame the one. in new york state, for example, we just had a case that went all the way to the supreme court and justice thomas said we do have the right to keep and bear arms this was derived from a case of

people that are seeing loot of crime rise in their neighborhood. and they couldn't get access to a conceal carry permit in new york state. and it was revealed that in this society where there is no accountability, where there is high crime rates, where people aren't going to work. where people feel threatened they have the right to bear arms. we passed some of the harshest gun laws and happening just this past week governor kathy hochul passed more gun laws to restrict gun rights. chicago and illinois have some of the harshest gun laws yet they don't stop gun violence. we are a system founded on self-governance. accountability. people need to get back to work and off social media. and we need to look at this mental health issue that is being caused by our society. >> you can't say it enough how gut wrenching and absolutely heart breaking it is to see these images and to see this unfold any kay but especially on america's birthday and hear

these people that experience this. they will never get over this. that brings me to this point. we have seen this big push especially from the democrats lately. they take every opportunity to talk about gun control and tightening up gun control but, yet, you know, biden, he just signed that bipartisan gun legislation that was signed last month. you voted against it because you said it didn't address the root causes. so what are the root causes and how do we get these addressed to stop seeing these stories, to stop talking about this? >> look, there is nothing worse than a politician who is ignorant and arrogant. and that's what joe biden is. and that's what a lot of these left leaning politicians who don't understand how important it is that we recognize our basic rights under the constitution. and so president biden just wants to keep talking about gun control. because that's the knee-jerk reaction of the left. this isn't a why who used to believe in that. unfortunately, here we are. we need to deal with the issues

of mental health. we have to bring people back to understanding when you commit a crime, you have to be held accountable. that's not happening in new york. where and chicago unfortunately. >> griff: thank you. we have run out of time. great insight as always. ashley, great to be with you. and "fox & friends" starts right now. >> ashley: have a good day. ♪ing ♪ >> brian: all right. here we go a fox news alert. the man suspected of opening up fire on an independence day parade in chicago suburb, affluent one at that, killing six, wounding dozens, now this custody after intense manhunt about five miles from where the incident took
