saying -- >> you know what, this is manipulative. >> we've got the story, you be the judge. can this guy really rap this fast? he took on the doubters by taking the time challenge. see if he beat the clock. someone get this little dude some nasal strips stat. chris is going to get some things started for us with some seizure surveillance video is like nothing we've ever seen or heard before. >> this surveillance video sent a chill down my spine and you're going to see why. this is at a wilmington, delaware food market. you see a man go in the door and a man rush into the back of the store. another man comes in unloading the pistol toward the direction of that man. he then runs out the front door. one of the things that's interesting about this video that we never get to experience is the commentary of the police
3:32 pm
officers as they're reviewing the footage. and they all finally leave the store. this is outside the store, and you see the men, you see the woman rush in and then they cal come back out. >> they're firing on the sidewalk. >> they're shooting down the street because apparently that's where the victim they were shooting at went. >> what is that one car that just pulled up? >> does anybody drive a white or silver car? >> no. >> it's almost like we're at the crime scene because we're hearing the police review the footage with the people who work at the store. >> then they come back and start going at it. apparently that car belonged to the victim they were trying to attack. >> so no one in the incident was shot. >> police showed up at this store and they did get a call from a nearby hospital saying the victim checked in with a

gunshot to the thigh. so he was hit but he was in stable condition at that time. police arrested and charged frank diaz, one of the shooters, with possession of a firemen, conviction of a felony. they're still looking for the second man in the video. he was identified as 23-year-old owen ortiz and a warrant is out for his arrest. service dogs are being used in courtrooms to help victims, but some defense attorneys are raising objections. sophie is a two-year-old lab. she was trained in california to be a service dog in smith county, texas. that's around the tyler area. what she does is she sits in a courtroom with children who are victims, and what she does is give them comfort to help ease their fears. this reporter demonstrates how she works. >> if emotion is expressed, sophie will put her head on children's knees to give them comfort. >> i had no idea this was even
3:34 pm
an option. >> i would probably be so nervous, i can see how it would relieve the anxiety of a child. >> this defense attorney says, you know what, this is manipulative. >> this is supposed to be difficult so people will tell the truth. >> i think it would be exactly the opposite. if you had these puppy dog eyes looking up at you, i think you would be more inclined to tell the truth. >> there's some way they can know if the dog is there, throw it up to a jury and we'll hear it. >> there may be the comfort of a dog that will weigh on the jury one way or another. >> the jury understands this is something to help a child, it's not evidence of guilt. >> i'm going to try to disagree with this dog in the courtroom. riding in style. are you guys ready for a high-speed chase? >> love 'em. >> this is in rutherford
3:35 pm
college, north carolina. it's in burke county. an officer was riding down a one-way street and a motorist passed him going 65 in a 45. as you can imagine, the cop did a u-turn, and after he turned his blue lights on, he thought 20-year-old travis jeffrey long was going to pull over into a gas station parking lot so he could give him a speeding ticket. instead he runs the stop sign and goes about his way. the chase goes on for quite a while at speeds of over 100 miles per hour. and if you watch, this seems like a scene out of "dukes of hazard" because you can see the cop car fly over hills. watch his car. whoa! now they're on a dirt road, basically just a farm, and the motorcyclist keeps on flying. >> he's going to have trouble on that gravel. he slows down. >> he just lamely did it. it wasn't even dramatic. >> well, let me tell you the
3:36 pm
story behind why this guy did it. he goes through a barbed wire fence. >> that will wido it. >> then he can't control his motorcycle any longer. the guy was arrested under a new law in california called you run and you're done which went in effect in september. his motorcycle was confiscated and now the police department can sell it. >> they should have a song to that. run and you're done, son. >> yep. you would expect you militarstrucinstructor, your ma instructor to be a big, tough guy. let's blow that theory out of the water. >> you should be able to prepare for any situation. the source of any soldier is his instructor and this is one of those instructors.
3:37 pm
>> my name is danielle. i'm a shooting instructor. >> danielle teaches all kinds of different soldiers from special forces to everyday soldiers' marksmanship. women and men are required to serve in the israeli army. they're the only country in the world that requires women to do this. >> you know what cracks me up, she walks up to where they're supposed to do their target shooting. she flings her ponytail, picks up this big old gun and just starts firing like it's nothing. >> rambo style. >> it's probably intimidating trying to pick her up in a bar. oh, so what do you do? i'm a machine gun instructor. and i'm an astronaut. come on, alphie. >> find out if little alfie can tiptoe his way across the creek. and see some college guys in e
