5:03 am
be severely injured or killed. the difference in each state, though, is whether you have a duty to retreat or escape before you use deadly force first. and in many states, you have no duty to retreat, and you can stand your ground and assert deadly force without escaping, even if that would have been easier to do. >> the department of justice has now agreed to investigate for possible civil rights violations in the george zimmerman case. clark says trayvon martin's family can also bring a civil suit against zimmerman. breaking news just coming into our newsroom, an early morning scare for people living in an apartment complex in san mateo. fire broke out just before 1:00 at the bridgepointe complex at highway 92. no one was hurt but several people were forced out of their apartments while the fire was put out. investigators are looking into the cause. in a few hours from now, a
