to the arena, dropping off photos to his editor. he's half way out the door when someone stops him. >> another photographer in the editing room came back and said nice picture of the couple kissing, and i'm thinking, well, i never shot anyone kissing. i shot someone helping another person who i thought was hurt. so she's like, well, they're right in it kissing. and i looked up at it, and they were kissing, and at that point i didn't know what to make of it. >> the following morning, rich's photo spreads like wildfire, and the image of the vancouver riot kiss takes on a life of its own. the two love birds in the midst of the mayhem are compared to the famous scene in "from here to eternity" and other iconic kissing photos. >> you have mayhem all around and this couple in a tender kiss

people who know me, they say 'i never thought you would quit.' but chantix helped me do it. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it gave me the power to overcome the urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don' take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i'm a non-smoker, that feels amazing. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. mmmmmmm.

2013. he was arrested four times in the state of ohio from may of '09 to september of '09. and it's robbery and misdemeanor theft. his corrections data, he does a two-year prison term in georgia from august 2011 to july 2013, and that's for criminal possession of a weapon from what we can ascertain right now. he does stints in local jails in fulton, kalb and de kalb counties. has social media investigation is what we're looking at right now, facebook, instagram, gmail and two phones were recovered. you remember in the investigation, he stole his girlfriend's phone. we recovered that in and around brookl brooklyn. we also have his private phone

we recovered in baltimore county. all those are being investigated by the nypd computer crimes. most of his postings and rants are on the instagram account. and what we're seeing from this right now is anger against the government. there's one where he burned the flag and made some statements. other talks of anger at police. he specifically mentions michael brown and eric garner, and other postings of self-despair or anger at himself or where his life is right now. right now we have no gang affiliation attributed to this man. no tattoos to suggest and no religious statements found in instagram. time line of yesterday's events. at about 5:30 in the northerning, he enters his girlfriend's apartment down in owings mill, maryland, with a key he's not supposed to have. they have known each other for about a year and they had since broken up. she's confronted by his

ex-girlfriend and an argument ensues. that ex-girlfriend calls her mother on her phone and she overhears part of the argument. the phone is then hung up president at about 5:50 calls come into 911 of shots fired at that location, a single shot fired. police arrive and the eck girlfriend identifies brinsley as the shooter. and he takes her phone as well. you see, that's the picture of the gentleman that we have that we were able to recover from georgia. at about 6:05 in the morning, he calls the mother on her phone, the girlfriend's mother on her phone and says he shot her by accident and that he hopes she lives. he then at 6:35, the baltimore county police department begins monitoring his movements and they have him tracked going northbound on i-95. during this time, he calls his ex-girlfriend's mother several times and goes through, makes

certain statements that we're able to find out where he's going. at about 15:50 in the morning, he arrives in new york city. apparently he took one of the bolt buses to the west side. we have no i didn't do right now but we're seeking it right now. anyone else who can help us out, we would love to hear about it to the tips line. at 12:07 hours, he discards the phone that he takes in the barclay center. we later retrieve that during a canvas of that location. that's one of the things we're investigating. at about 1:30 in the afternoon to 2:00, baltimore county pd reaches out to nypd and we start putting things in motion. they fax us a copy of events on this individual. and we start going through notifications process. contemporaneous to that is when he commits the homicide of the two officers.

it should be noted that we work very closely with the baltimore county police officer. they've been excellent partners in this investigation. we start doing some background on mr. brinsle. we spoke to both of his parents and two sisters as well as an exgirl friend. we're told by family members he never expressed any radicalization at all. this is a muslim family. his mother goes on to state, he had a very troubled childhood and was often violent. the mother expressed fear of him and says she hasn't seen him in one month. brinsley attempted suicide in the past and attempted to hang himself a month ago. it appears that he goes back and forth to new york. right now we don't have a residence for him. the residence in florida listed for him -- i'm sorry, georgia, is his sister's and he hasn't been there for two years. he's also estranged from both of his sisters.

the perpetrator's gun, which you see here, .9 millimeter is a pt-92 model. purchased at a pawnshop in georgia in 1996. it is not recorded as stolen. it was purchased by a male who we have the identity of in '96. apparently it wasn't him, he was 9 years old at the time. we're working with the atf right now to find him and find out where this could have fallen into his hands. right now presently, we have identified eyewitnesses and 35 ear witnesses to the suicide of mr. brinsley in the train station. ten eyewitnesses as well and one ear witness. we recovered five videos at the scene, two pre two post and one in the subway, none of which depict the incident, the homicide, the double homicide. we have found on one of our videos two males who spoke with

the perpetrator just prior to the event. he begins the conversation with them, they start speaking and he asks them three things. he asked them for their gang affiliation, he asked them to follow him on instagram and he says watch what i'm going to do. he then walks northbound on tompkins, past the two officers, circles back around and comes up on the officers. that's where we are right now. those individuals are speaking to him now. we don't believe they had anything to do with anything. but we'll tap in on that further as we go forward. >> [ inaudible ]. >> no, that's currently at the delay to check that right now. we have two instances by family

members made against him for minor incidents, aggravated arrests of that nature. he was born here in brooklyn. he went to high school in new jersey and because he had problems in his background, he was going back and forth to georgia with relatives down there. we believe he's in new york earlier in the week. apparent le he's taking the bus line to and from the south. we have none of that yet and that's still to be determined. four shots were fired at the officers. all the rounds are accounted for with the gun. 15 in the taurus, four at the scene, we have shell casings right there. another shell casing on the subway platform and another shell casing down in baltimore where he shot his girlfriend.

we're trying to find out which bus he took and we'll go forward from there. we have him on video at 42nd street and eighth avenue getting on the n train. >> [ inaudible ] we're still peeling this thing back. as we go forward we'll go back further and further. >> [ inaudible ]. >> sometimes it takes a couple days to get that information.

we did recover two metro cards on his person in the subway and we'll delving into this right now. >> [ inaudible ]. >> bronx is a sister, that was in 2011. in brooklyn, he has a child with a lady we spoke to already. and he's estranged from her. he has brooklyn roots. his dad lives in new jersey, but his mom lives in brooklyn. he has spent some final here, not a lot. all his troubles seem to be in the south, in georgia. but that seems to be where he's staying with his other sister in union city, georgia, i believe. yes? two phones. >> [ inaudible ].

>> we're in the process of acquiring that information. they are iphones and we expect pictures. >> [ inaudible ]. >> we're trying to get his movements and we have most of his mooumts. but we have a gap from 12:07 to the time of the occurrence, 1447. military time. about 2:40 minutes we haven't accounted for y et. that's going to be video collection and appeal to the public if anyone has seen this individual up here. we don't have a picture of what he was wearing. he was wearing a green varsity jacket with a red indian logo up top here. if anyone has seen him in the bed-stuy area, we need to know that. >> [ inaudible ]. >> again, we were able to

identify fen eyewitnesses to the count. two courageous con-ed workers saw the event and chase himd in their truck. they alerted two officers that were involved in that detail, that anti-violence detail. they alerted the seven-five officers who went down and pursued him down into the subway is when he took his life. can't thank those two individuals enough. >> [ inaudible ]. >> that's to be determined adds well. you saw the instagram message? that went out about 12:20, i believe. maybe even before that. so that's the first time we've seen that.

it's his instagram account. we feel right now he was accessing that account through her phone. >> [ inaudible ]. >> i don't want to get into that. a lot of conjecture on my part. so yes, he did apologize to the mother and that's really the only act of violence we could find in his career. not to say he didn't do anything before, but i can't speak to -- >> [ inaudible ].

>> the we can see on instagram where he rants. that's all i have right now. >> [ inaudible ]. >> you're getting pretty far down the road. right now, obviously, he committed this act against the girlfriend. and put him on this path. ex-girlfriend, they know each other about a year. he had a key to the apartment he shouldn't have had. he let himself in, she challenged him. he's intubated. right now, investigators are

speaking to her right now. she did tell responding officers that she identified brinsley, that he had her phone. she didn't want to be with him and that caused the argument. >> [ inaudible ]. >> that's where we are right now, but not early in life. >> [ inaudible ]. >> i have no reports of mental illness yet in our investigation. we queried atlanta and bawl and we have no information that he was taking any --

>> [ inaudible ]. >> i don't have that yet. all that's coming from family members. >> [ inaudible ]. >> four shots total. witnesses hear four shot, we recover four shell casings. i don't want to go into that. yes, there was. all bullets are accounted for. he fired one in baltimore, four at the officers and one to himself. >> no, 14 hours in the homicide. the facts are not sent up until 1447.

we believe the time frame is all genuine and we're moving as fast as we can at that point. pc alluded to smart phones and putting things out nap's in the future. right now we're work at present. that's where we're going to go. but i just want to finish the point. we're not there yet 37 at this point, it could be unfair to characterize anybody as being slow. we're still figuring this thing out at that time. all right. >> no, no. family of the victim, ex-girlfriend discovered that

just prior to the phone call. that's where that came from. no one had that prior to the conversation between baltimore county and the precinct that they called. >> [ inaudible ]. >> i'm not going to tell you what the conversations were, but he called her several times as he was fleeing the state. again, that's the because of the metro cards. we believe he was here earlier in the week, but that's still undetermined yet as we go forward. >> [ inaudible ]. >> violence. again, we got some stuff from his family. i would rather not go too far into that. it has to be developed as we get going.

>> it is a very long weekend for the new york police department. we heard from the chief of detectives, that's robert bois, this a day after that gunman he was describing killed two new york police department officers. and as we got more information in the last 30 minutes, of note would be that he said there's no gang affiliation, no religious statements being made, speaking with the family he revealed for us as well that his parents said that the gunman never expressed any radicalization through the past that they have seen. and this as the police department and i say long weekend, because it's not only what they're going through right now in the investigation, trying to account for that two hours and 40 minutes they're trying to gather information from the

public as well as in their investigation, the five videos they have recovered, but also long because as the chief, chief robert bois said just this morning, he said our hearts are heavy with sadness, rip police officers. this is what he tweeted this morning. so it's a long weekend for the new york police department as they're working through this as well as mourning. and covering the story for us throughout the last couple of days, we have adam reese on the phone. you know, adam, as we were listening to robert bois and he gave us details, more than he had at the start of the day. richard, as you said, they're peeling this back very slowly. they want to make sure they get every detail. this is a guy who had a lengthy arrest record. 19 arrests, two years in jail. they're looking at his social

media, facebook, gmail, instagram. they recovered two phones. they say he has no gang affiliation. they'll be look into the shooting in maryland and when he came to new york how he got to new york. they believe he came by bus. there is a gap, as you mentioned, in the time line. they're looking at videos. they're talking to eyewitnesses, they're talking to ear witnesses, and they're going to try to find out every single detail from the early morning, 5:30 a.m. when he showed up at his ex-girlfriend's home in maryland all the way to the shooting yesterday afternoon. i can tell you, commissioner bratton came to the crime scene this afternoon and he visited with residents. said the flowers and memorials show that the community really cares about its police officers. the president called the commissioner to offer his support from the white house and the president reiterated the

american people will be supported and we should use words not violence. >> as you've been dig into the story and we're getting information as the hours go by each day here, have you any inclination as to any understanding as to why. i know that was asked efrl times during this news conference of the chief of detectives. what are you seeing or hearing? >> well, clearly this was a man with a lot of anger. and we can tell by some of his postings that that anger was definitely directed at new york city plefrs. he came here on a mission to kill police officers. we are told -- we were told at this press conference that he had a conversation with some men on the street just prior to the shooting. he asked them about their gang affiliation. he asked them about their instagram accounts and then when he went on that say watch what i'm going to do. so this was clearly premedita d premeditated. >> i want to play a little bit from the news conference and get your reaction to it.

>> we have found on one of our videos two males who spoke with the perpetrator just prior to the event. he begins the conversation with them, they start speaking. and he asked them three things. he asked them for their gang affiliation. he asked them to follow him on instagram and then he says watch what i'm going to do. he then walks new york on tompkins, past the two officers in the car, circles back around, goes across the street and comes up behind the officers. >> so just what you discussed there, adam. and they don't believe these two individuals are involved in this at all. and this goes to the social media angle to the story. and also i understand at that gathering, when bill bratton, the commissioner was there, he said they track social media very carefully. has there been any more developments on that end of the story? >> we have not seen any, but i

can tell you in addition to the social media, they're going to be looking carefully into his mental health. apparently he had attempted suicide. his mother hered him. he had a violent childhood. clearly a lot of rage inside this man. and they're going to want to also figure out apparently he's been going back and forth between maryland and new york. they want to know all of his whereabouts, what the history is of the gun that he used, and any more information. they will not let up after two of their own have been killed in cold blood. >> the detectives did lay out a time line for us. can you review for us what we know about where he was and what he did, the gunman. >> at about 5:30 a.m. yesterday

morning, he was able to gain access to his ex-girlfriend's apartment. he had a key that police say he should not have had. he fired a single shot, hitting her. he took her phone. apparently on his way to new york, we believe it was on a bus. he called her mother numerous times. he said he shot her by accident and he, in fact, apologized. he arrived in new york city at about 10:50. he proceeded to move around. this is where there's a bit of a gap in the time line. he made his way to brooklyn. there's also a video in the subway where he shot himself on the platform there.

they'll be looking all these videos. the hooting in maryland all the way to the shooting of these two police officers in brooklyn. >> how key is that two hours and 40 minutes? >> i'm sure it's critical to the police. they want to know exact ly exac anything during that time had any effect of his going through this, you know, you can guess that this was premedicated. that the entire time he was coming to new york, he had a mission to kill police officers, and was there anything during that time period that we don't know that may have affected his thinking or his mindset prior to the shooting. >> any word, any discussion of copycats here?

not a we know of at all, no. >> i want to play more from what the chief of detectives said just moments ago in case those who are just joining us did not hear it. >> we heard from his family members he didn't express any radicalization at all. this is a muslim family. his mother goes on to state he had a very troubled childhood and was often violent. mother expressed fear of him and she says she hasn't seen him in one month. >> on the radar, according to the chief of detectives, they had been monitoring him for other ac other activities. the chief of detectives was careful not to reveal everything that was said and discussed with the parents. >> right. they're going to interview, not only the parent, but he has siblings and also the girlfriend, the ex-girlfriend that was shot who's been intubated. they have detectives from mat i jor case squad down in maryland

speaking with her as well. >> how are they coordinating now? you're talking about the baltimore police department. what's the coordination like? >> we really don't know. we know the police department in baltimore following the shooting there faxed a wanted photo of the suspect to the new york police department. unfortunately, it came too late. that fax arrived at 2:47 p.m. yesterday. and as we know, it was just minutes, maybe even just one minute later that the shooting took place. >> what more do we know about the two victims? >> we do know a little bit about the victims. officer ramos was two years on the police force. he had two young sons including a 13-year-old son who had the hospital yesterday evening was reported that he told the mayor who had visited with the family he couldn't understand why someone would want to shoot the

same police officers who protect us. officer ramos had just had his 40th birthday. officer lu is a seven-year veteran and he had just been married two months ago. they were both working overtime at that location on a special patrol, focusing on crime reduction. and the reporting has been they didn't even have the time to react. >> no. this was a complete ambush, richard. we learned today that he had circled around the police car and then he came up behind firing four shots. police have recovered all four bullets there and the one bullet used in his suicide on the subway platform. >> any word on funeral services? >> not yet. we can expect two funerals in the coming days. they will be largely attended by

police officers largely from around the country, richard. this is quite an unprecedented event. the police commissioner bratton said this is the seventh time, i believe n recent history where police officers had been murdered in the line of duty like this sitting in their car. >> how is the police department doing? how is the community doing? >> being on co-location at the scene all day today, the community is coming together. they want to make sure that any protests are peaceful. a lot of the residents in the neighborhood couldn't believe this had happened. such a brazen murder of police officers and they were wondering why someone would come all the way from baltimore into their neighborhood to murder two police officers. >> 15 seconds here, adam. what's next this week? >> well, as you just said, we can expect two somber funerals for these two officers.

one, two years on the force, another seven years. one just married. one leaving behind two sons. it will be a very somber and sad week here for the new york city police department. >> adam reese covering the story for us. the killing of two nypd officers by gunmen, ismaaiyl brinsley. the gunman had no gang affiliation, no religious statements were made, no apparent radicalization. they gave us a time line starting at 5:30 a.m. when he did enter his exgirl friend's apartment. that moved all the way up to 12:07 p.m. where he discards a phone. then two hours and 40 minutes they want more information. we will continue to cover the story for you right here. we will return to normal programming right after this.

las vegas, nevada. sin city, a town known for hosting the great fight. tyson versus holyfield, and fat man versus a tourist. >> that was completely unexpected. >> it's early may, 2011, and marcus tate of huntsville, texas, is visiting fight town for the first time. he's walking on the strip with some family members when something catches his eye. all the sudden i see two guys arguing.

it went from playful to serious. >> marcus can't believe what he's seeing. it's a scene right off the comic book pages, only this is no joker. >> that's what turned my head to the whole situation, was batman getting loud. >> maxwell allen, aka, batman, has been making a living by dressing up as the caped crusader for more than a decade. first on hollywood boulevard in los angeles. and in 2010 he moved to the las vegas strip. >> i like being my own boss. i like working with kids. and i kind of like being out there. >> like virtually all of the street characters on the strip, batman works solely for tips, posing for photos and relying on

the generosity of batman's adoring fans for his income. >> everybody thinks you're making great money, every, every day, which is not true. i mean, one day you can do really well. up to 100 bucks a day sometimes. and other days can be up there two, three, hours and hardly make anything. you know. not even bus fare. >> we do work for the photos. now did you want all of us? >> of course, an unsteady income is just one of the many factors batman and other street characters take into consideration when dressing their parts. >> you get a lot of drinkers. a lot of insults. a lot of people like to come by and just slap you for no reason because they think it's funny. they come out there and i try to do the best persona of batman that i can be. but then there are times when

you run into it that it's really hard to keep in character. >> which brings us back to the battle between batman and the tourist he calls polo boy. max tells his version of how it turns out. he's posing for a picture with two women when -- >> he snuck up and punched me as hard as he could in the chest and more or less knocked me off the box i was standing on. at the time, i wasn't going to do anything about it, but then these two old ladies say, batman, you're not going to let him get away with that, are you? >> bat max then dashes down the strip and catches up to polo boy. >> i was a little ticked off because i just didn't understand you know, how you hit a perfect stranger. it doesn't matter how he's dressed and think it was funny. >> max admits he has issues dealing with his temper, as is depicted in the 2007 documentary "confessions of a super hero." >> i let a lot of people walk away. some i don't. they need it.

they need to be beaten down to open their eyes and all i'm doing is volunteering for the job. >> but this time max may have bitten off more than he can chew. the confrontation quickly escalates as bat max whips back his cape and prepares for battle. poloboy follows with his impersonation of spiderman. max is not amused, and before you know it, holy fists! it's on. >> i didn't expect that at all. i knew it was going to get verbal, but i was really not expecting it to get physical. >> smack, bang, pow! it's a two-man melee. bat max gets polo boy in a

headlock. but the tides quickly turn as poloboy lifts him in the air, slams him onto the pavement and follows up with a serious of fists to the head. >> when he slams me, he slammed me onto the water bottle. so the impact on me wasn't that bad. it looks like it's really brutal, but it didn't hurt. it hardly affected me at all. the rubber took a lot of the impact. >> shop owners call the police who quickly close in on the scene and stop both men for questioning. no charges are filed, and they're told to go their separate ways, marcus who is filming everything sees polo boy afterwards, shows him the video and gets a post fight interview. he posts the video online, and over the next few months his video of the bat max beatdown on the vegas strip gets more than a million views. with polo boy having left vegas, a frustrated bat max hopes to
