>> donald trump sounds more like a leader of a lynch mob than a great nation like ours. >> he's somewhat like hitler. he was intolerant toward juice and he's intolerant toward muslims. >> no one seemed to have a problem with the republican front runners latest idea. >> donald trump is saying muslims should not be allowed to enter this country. do you agree with that? >> yes, i do. >> why? >> i don't want them here. >> the most recent polling puts trump way ahead of his closest rivals. perhaps this could be the final straw or maybe it might make him even more popular. the fear within the republican party is if he is the nominee the election will easily be won by the democrats and hillary clinton. >> dave, thank you, and there are some new developments involving that mass shooting in san bernardino. the fbi is grilling the man who

as city buildings department inspectors assess the damage and determine what needs to be done next. >> because that section came down, they need to assess the entire perimeter of that area. it's very difficult to access due to the structure of the building. >> back live now on the upper east side, what you're looking at is that section of the building facade where all of those bricks came down. there's one piece on the side where you can kind of see the facade bulging away from the building. of course that is really one of the things that building inspectors, building department inspectors are going to be looking at. we're told by the fire department that what they have to do this afternoon is get up there and take a closer look at the facade to see how to fix this problem. that could involve building scaffolding or some other method. at this point the street will remain closed until they figure that out. we're live this afternoon on the upper east side. i'm sandra bookman channel 7

we now know he is 30-year-old devon holder. this ordeal unfolded around that officer was under the impression he was meeting up car. in an ad on craigslist the want suspects posted about selling a white older model bmw. the they met here, began haggling over price, and then the suspects pulled out a bb gun and tried to rob the officer. he pulled out his gun firing at least once shooting, striking and killing devon holder. the other suspect got in the white bmw and took off. many people in this neighborhood were home and heard all the chaos. >> i was in the house laying down, and i heard about -- i heard two shot first, and then i heard three more. i said to my wife i say you know what happened, this is fire crackers. this sounds like gunshots to me. like 5 minutes after that i heard ambulance, i heard fire truck, i heard police cars, everything. i wasn't well so i didn't get

pulled up, rolled down his window and began yelling at the suspect, eventually he slammed on his brakes. the driver of the minivan pulled along side and fired two shots through the passenger door. both bullets coming very close to hitting that baby in the backseat. again, mcdowell shot once in the hand and the leg. >> and the couple described hearing two shots. at that point the minivan sped off. it exited at hospital road and was last seen eastbound on the sunrise service road. >> reporter: and she is now recovering at brook haven medical center. police making it very clear that this was a joint road rage incident and that the victims here could face charges for participating in dangerous driving with their baby in the backseat. i'm kristin thorne channel 7 eyewitness news. >> thank you. and a man from new jersey has a message for the person who murdered his fiancee and

scene, and of course i'm chris bosh. when i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung, it was serious. fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. treatment with xarelto . hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to.

nice pass. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto ... ...was the right move for us.

marcus. >> and still a very active scene it is as police continue to search for one additional suspect after that wild police pursuit, crash, and shooting that took place earlier this. we can give you a look here at the sawmill river parkway that directions. you can see the police activity as police look for one suspect. now we understand that two suspects in custody already but the third may have run into tibbitz brook park which runs along side the northbound sawmill river parkway. this was a pursuit that originated in the bronx. officers from the 50th precincts pursuing a vehicle that may have hit another police car, and this then it

there was a crash and then a foot pursuit. we understand that slot -- shots were fired. three suspects involved, two possibly injured but there is the search on for the third individual. there is an nypd helicopter up above. there was a level one mobilization called as police continue to search for the suspects. in the meantime traffic a complete mess. the sawmill northbound at a complete standstill. it is closed southbound as well at exit 4, so you're going to want to avoid this area for sure, but the urgent matter at hand is the search for that suspect involved in a police pursuit, and then a crash that took place. we understand there was a police involved shooting as well. that is the latest for now in yonkers, marcus solis channel 7 eyewitness news. quite a scene out there. thank you for that update. the prosecution rested its case about an hour ago in the trial of the baltimore police officer charged in the death of freddie

over evidence in the case. officer william porter's defense says prosecutors withheld a document which shows gray had a back injury a month before his arrest. gray is the 25-year-old who died of a spinal cord injury a week after baltimore police arrested him. porter is the first of six officers facing trial over gray's death. the wife of chicago bear quarterback jay cutler is speaking out about the search for her missing brother. kristin cavallari posted a childhood photo of herself with her brother michael on instagram. the caption said "i appreciate all the concern, thoughts and prayers, remain hopeful. michael cavallari has been missing now for about two weeks. he vanished four days after he was arrested for making criminal threats. cavallari was already on probation for a dui. a one-time voice of charlie brown got prison time for making criminal threats. yesterday a california judge sentenced peter robins to four
