in new york city. they were shot execution style saturday in their patrol car. dozens of people held a vigil at the shooting scene last night to honor their memories. >> the suspect who shot and killed himself had a long history of crime. ismaaiyl brinsley said he was acting out of vengeance on eric garner and michael brown. donde dahler has more. >> reporter: good morning. he told passengers on the street to follow him on instagram to follow what he was about to do and he then pulled out a semiautomatic pistol and opened fire on a police car. video captured the aftermath. amateur video captured the frantic scene as paramedics desperately tried to save the

lives of officers wenjian liu and sergeant rafael ramos. the officers were shot multiple times at close range through the windows of their marked patrol car. >> they were quite simply assassinated. targeting for their uniform. >> investigators say 28-year-old ismaaiyl brinsley shot and wounded his ex-girlfriend saturday morning before boarding a bus to new york city. he posted on instagram which included i'm putting wings on pigs today. they take one of ours let's shoot two of theirs. at 2:00 p.m. they called the police department directly and sent a warning fax 45 minutes later. >> tragically this was at the same time as our officers were being ambush and murdered by brinsley. >> according to eyewitnesses after the attack brinsley ran

into a nearby subway station where he committed suicide. he had an extensive criminal history on charges ranging from robbery, domestic assault and oh legal weapons possession. family gathered at his home last night to remember his family and his partner. >> i hope and pray we can reflect on this tragic loss of lives that have occurred so that we can move forward. >> ramos's 13-year-old son jaden posted a statement on facebook which read this is the worst day of my life. today i had to say bye to my father. it's horrible that someone gets shot dead just for being a police officer. the families of mike brown and eric garner also condemned the murders. >> i'm standing here in sorrow. these two police officers lost their lives senselessly.

>> reporter: you're looking at a spontaneous memorial that sprang up at the scene of the murders. people have been coming by since yesterday to pay their respects. in a phone call sunday president obama offered his support to police commissioner bill bratton. he also said in a statement two brave men won't be going home to their loved ones tonight and for that there is no justification. anthony? >> don dahler, thank you, don. the killings are raising tensions between new york police officers and mayor bill de blasio. they already had a rocky relationship. vladimir duthiers with the intense criticism and the mayor's response. vlad, good morning. >> good morning, anthony. it sparked harsh statements at the police stations from the mayor of new york but it didn't stop there. one slashed out at him last night. >> what if that was your son sitting in the patrol car. >> want rodriguez, a brooklyn community leader and longtime

friend of officer rafael ramos painted a graphic visual for mayor bill de-blache blachede blasio. >> he's referring to this symbolic show of defiance. police officers turning their backs on mayor bill de blasio as he walked through the hospital where the slain officers were transported. on the outside police officer lynch said blood issed on the hands of many. >> blood is on the hands. he responded it's unfortunate that in a time of great tragedy someone would be involved in overheated rhetoric that angers and divides people. still needs to bridge the gaps with the police unions. they're not happy with the grand jury's decision including a discussion he and his wife had

with their by racial son. >> we've had to literally train them as families have all over the cities for decades in how to take special care in any encounter he has with the police officers who are there to protect him. >> reporter: a recent attack on two police officers by demonstrators has strained his relationship with them even further. a cousin said he doesn't have blood on his hand but he needs to have more support. >> because they're the ones doing the dirty job and they're the ones that are dying for us. >> petitions have circulated calling for his resignation but the ramos family would like him to speak. he'll be speaking tomorrow about strengthening the response between the police and the community. philadelphia police chief

charles ramsey was recently named co-chair of president obama's task force of policing. he's with us in philadelphia this morning. good morning, commissioner. >> good morning. >> you had a chance to speak with president obama and what were your thoughts on this? >> the president did call me yesterday and once again expressed his outrage of the senseless murder of two new york city police officers but also to re-emphasize the urgency he feels with getting this task force off the ground and coming up with concrete recommendations, pulling together police leaders from around the country as well as community leaders from around the country to talk about policing in the 21st century and how we can improve police relations. >> there have been so much emotions surrounding the shooting. the nypd blees union says the mayor has blood on his hands. when you have that kind of rhetoric floating around how do

you ease tensions? >> it's not helpful. even right now should focus on the families of the two slain officers, put them away with the dignity and respect that they certainly deserve. the rest of this can be sorted out at a later time. right now everyone needs to lower the volume a little bit on the rhetoric because we're just in a very, very volatile environment right now. >> i want to talk to you specifically about de blasio. he's sort of in an interesting position to try to make both sides, i guess come together. this is somebody who ran on the campaign trail and said police have been overreaching. he's now made comments people are really unhappy with. what's your advice to him from the position you're in in. >> well it's a little above my pay grade. i don't have any advice for him and i don't know him that well, although i have met him. certainly, i think even needs to sit down and talk to one another at iron out the differences they

have. they may not agree to everything but at least bring it down. >> we saw on saturday some officers turned their backs on the mayor and commissioner in new york when they came out to speak. if you see that, is there a point where you can start a conversation? >> you may not be able to start it right away because the emotions are too high and the shock of the murders were still very apparent at the time they turned their backs. so hopefully everyone's had a chance to reflect on what they did and how to move forward. but the primary thing right now is to honor the two officers and their families. i talked to commissioner bratton a couple of times yesterday. he's one of the best police leaders in america and he'll guide his didn't through this. >> philadelphia police commissioner charles ramsey. thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you. north korea is threatening strikes against the white house, penalty gone and united states mainland.

he's recklessly spreading rumors that north korea is behind the cidersighcyber attack on sony pictures. major garrett with the response from the president on how they'll react to the cyber attack. >> it's the first one that's dominated headlines here in the u.s. and forced the white house to weigh a response. part of that calculus is what to call the north korea hack attack. president obama said it was not, repeat not an act of war or terrorism. >> i think it was an act of cyber vandalism that was very costly, very expensive. we take it very seriously. we will respond proportionately, as i said. >> the president's use of the word "vandalism" irked republican lindsey graham. >> when the president calls it an act of vandalism, it bothers

me greatly. u's an act of terrorism and i hope he responds forcingly. >> part of it is seeking china's cooperation and preventing future cyber attacks from north korea. possible retaliatory measures include reimposing sanctions is or relisting them as a sponsor of tachl. a designation also dropped in 2008. other options launching a countercyber attack or freeding foreign bank accounts of top core north korean officials. there have been sanctions imposed over pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. as for sony's decision to pull the movie "the interview" before its christmas day release, president obama still believes the company blew it. >> had they talked to me directly about this decision i might have called the movie theater chained and distributors and asked them what the story

was, but what i was laying out was a principle that this country has to abide by. we believe in free speech. >> reporter: he said he talked to him in the heat of the crisis but those conversations we had learned were about the hack investigation and cyber security, not distribution of "the interview." sony said yesterday it will release the movie "the interview." it hasn't decided on when and what platform. youtube is a possibility. but, of course, anthony, there are others. >> michael morell is with us. he's a former cia deputy director. good morning. >> good morning, anthony. >> you heard the options. what does he have to consider in choosing the right options? >> he has two. one is he has to deter north korea from future cyber attacks but he has to also think about deterring all the o'nations in the world who have this

capability or who are growing this capability. and second you have to think about north korean retaliation for anything he does. >> i get the sense, though, if we go the cyber attack route, north korea wouldn't say anything and know one would know. if we go that route door we tee it up for more warfare? >> the three options. the redesignation as a terrorist state, i don't think that carries a lot of weight. the cyber attack you talked about, they won't say anything. we won't know whether it had an impact. i won't send the right impact. the one that will have the right punch are the financial sanctions we put on them in 2008 telling foreign banks you can't deal with us if you hurt north korea. that hurt them then. that will hurt them now. >> what about this idea of working with china? >> i wouldn't hold out hope.

the only thing china wants is less instability. they now believe we're the biggest threat to stability when in reall north cree kra is. if you could convince them of that, you might convince them. >> what's the benefit of working with a country we thought have hacked us in the past. >> the chinese steal data from us okay? the north koreans not only stole data they destroyed data. this is the first attack. there's a difference. >> what about the feeling that the united states is behind the film and if we retaliate, they will retaliate further. >> one of the interesting things here is why did north korea take it so personally right? why did they react this way to a film right? there are two reasons. one is they see their leader as almost god-like so any criticism of their leader anything that suggests that their leader is somehow not

doing the right thing is -- sends a very bad message to the north korean people. that's one reason they reacted. the other is they believe the united states of america is trying to overthrow north korea. that's why them saying the white house was behind the this mauve,ovie they actually believe that. >> so interesting. michael morell thanks. >> you're welcome. winter weather is threatening millions of people trying to get home for the holidays. some areas are already dealing with whiteout conditions. danielle niles of wbz tells us what people can expect for the holidays. good morning. >> good morning we have blizzard warnings out through parts of colorado. winter weather advisories and high wind watches. this storm is going to continue to bring areas of snow to the mountains and that energy dives down to the southern planes.

that will bring areas of rain. the threat for severe weather is highest along the gulf coast states stretching back toward mobile and tallahassee during the day. large hail torrential remain and damaging wind. even an isolated storm will be possible. that storm works up the eastern seaboard. heavy rain, wind on the backside as well changing to snow could disrupt airport travel as we head into christmas eve and christmas morning. anthony, back to you. >> danielle thanks. a powerful lightning strike in florida knocked some football fans to the ground. one person is in critical condition this morning. the strike happened yesterday in a parking lot near the tampa bay buccaneers stadium as fans returned to their car. no one was directly hit, but seven people went to the hospital most for minor injuries. five went home after treatment. the lightning also damaged at least one suv. florida staid quarterback jamison winston has been cleared

of sexual assault this morning. an independent judge ruled there was insufficient emt evidence to find the heisman trophy winner violated a student code of conduct. a woman accused winston. she has five days to respond to the ruling. we'll s see how her case may affect president obama's plan to

trooper in 1973 chesomart escaped after just two years and fled to cuba. >> the homicide of trooper forester, which was an execution, has really left an open wound in the organizational memory. >> now new jersey governor chris christie is calling for the cuban government to send her back to a u.s. prison. in a letter to president obama, christie said her safe harbor is an affront to the men and women of the new jersey state police who have tirelessly tried to bring this killer back to justice. but fidel castro considered her a socialist revolutionary and granted her asylum as a member of the black liberation army a 1970s militant national list group. using the name a shh aashhakada.

falling oil prices while good for many consumers make it harder for producers like melba moran to keep his workers fully employed. moran has 80 wells in and around seminole. >> if the oil price drops too much longer this well will no longer be profitable. >> reporter: very few of his wells are turning a profit because of the price lunge. it typically costs him more than $60 to pump a barrel of crude, more than what the consumers are paying. >> we can survive but so many companies can not survive losing money every month. >> could if there be layoffs because of the slowdown. >> absolutely. >> energy economist leonard weinstein said millions of jobs benefit from the oil and gas industry boom but layoffs could be around the corner. >> you're small if you got into the business late if you have a lot of debt, if you're miley

leverage leveraged, some of those companies are probably either going to go out of business or have to sell assets to stay alive. >> reporter: weinstein says oil prices can tip the economy in either direction. >> i would say at the $60 price point, the positives for the chi outweigh the negative but if we go into a freefall if we see prices getting below $50, getting down to $40, i think that's a negative for the u.s. economy and not only for the oil-producing states. >> how concerned are you? >> very. >> reporter: city manager steve saxon is watching the effects of oil prices on the local economy. >> we're heavily dependent on sales taxes. if people are not buying lumber or going out to eat, then our bottom line is impacted. half of seminole's income comes directly or indirectly from the oil industry. now seminole has postpone some

much needed capital improvement projects. this is a scene that's repeating itself in so many oil dependent communities across the country. >> some are saying it could go on through next year. >> a lot of hotels and restaurant workers are worrying about losing their jobs. the battle to stop an international carrier promising rockck bottom prices in america. why opponents say the airlines trying to skirt the rules. that's next on "cbs this morning."

on this busy morning for travelers a fight is escalating in the airlines. it involves an airline you may have never heard of norwegian air.

it flies to 134 destinations 38 countries including u.s. some call it the walmart of air travel. >> reporter: the low cost carrier is already offering transatlantic fares that beat the competition. we did a search on a trip leaving from oakland california to stockholm, norwegian, less than half the price of the competition. the scandinavian carrier plans on expanding if it secures government approval. that's a big "if." he's been on a public relations offensive and this is what he's telling anyone who listens. >> are you saying u.s. consumers are getting taken for a ride? >> reporter: he believes u.s. carriers are inflating fares and his company has brought a business model that ensures rock bottom prices for travels. they're not be able to break

into the market without a foreign carrier plan by the government. he said he expected a fight. >> you're used to the scrutiny. >> we're used to the scrutiny to try to stop us. this is nothing new for us. when we enter in the area, everybody knows that then the prices will go down that's good for the consumers. that's how it should be. that's competition. >> reporter: but some lawmakers in washington, major u.s. airlines, and union, including the airline pilots association say they are not opposed to competition. what they want is a level playing field, they say, and they accuse norwegian of trying to skirt the rules. while the airlines' parent company is in norway, it wants to operate a subsidiary in the u.s. with an irish license even though the u.s. doesn't doesn't fly in and out of ireland. that's the point. the yaup on's president and eries accuse norwegian of trying

to duck tough safety standards. >> we have to have a country provide the oversight and certification like we do in the u.s. for the those pilots and the second we don't have proper oversight and certification, we're going to have a problem. >> reporter: norwegian says safety has always been the company's number one priority. it accuses its critics of making a number of false and misleading allegations. some people believe this is about pilots protecting their turf against an airline that's hiring nonunion pilots. >> absolutely not. >> reporter: but that's the message conveyed in this video. >> we're in a fight for our future. >> reporter: it was posted earlier this year titled "the wolf is at the door." it's call to action against norwegian. >> we must stop it now or fight the globe of pilot shopping around the world at third world prices. >> reporter: so when people accuse norwegian of hiring low wage pilots how do you respond? >> i think it's ridiculous.
