ultimate guide to beating traffic or not. >> we are going to begin with that chicago police officer charged with murdering a seconds. protesters filled the streets shutting down traffic after dash cam video and the victim's family pleaded for calm. alex perez is on the scene in chicago. >> reporter: good morning. investigators say that officer opened fire seconds after he got on the scene. that video only made public now because a judge ordered it be released. this morning, newly released dash cam video giving us a closer look at the chilling moment chicago police officer jason van dyke emptied his 9 millimeter gun on 17-year-old laquan mcdonald. we will freeze the video here. mcdonald died on his way to the hospital. >> it is violent. it is chilling. >> reporter: cook county state attorney anita alvarez charging him with first degree murder and his attorney refusing to answer

7:06 am
was from the officer, there's no indication that he's running towards the officer, et cetera. you listen to the defense attorney and he keeps saying again and again this did not a murder case, which to me says this is the defense attorney who is looking for a lesser included. >> lesser charge and how much difference does it make the boy did not have a gun as you said but he was not unarmed had that 1345u8 knife. >> critical because of the distance between them meaning if he had a gun there could always be the threat of a shot. as it turns out he had the knife in his hand without moving defense. much. >> such distance between -- >> crucial point. >> extreme outrage but, again, the teen's family is urging protesters -- >> they didn't even want the video released. >> thank you, dan. now to the holiday travel rush threatening to make the trip home a mess for millions of americans. people are already heading out. that's a live look at the highway nearby, newark, new jersey and of course airports will be packed with heightened
