headquarters yesterday intent on committing a so-called suicide by police. he brought his two brothers with him. their job apparently to videotape the whole encounter. so as ford opens fire on the hat-trick iii police station the brother -- district iii police station his brothers are taking video of the shoot-out on their cell phones. mr. ford was shots by police. he dropped. that is recorded on video. but just at the wrong moment officer colson off-duty was arriving at district iii to bring a meal to his girlfriend. he sees a shoot-out underway. he gets out of his car and draws his weapon. and he is then shot. sadly what we learned is the police believe it was a case of friendly fire. that another police officer saw him, perceived a threat an

police will come hewitter. we expect to hear from police chief hank stawinski to confirm the terrible detail. three under arrest. michael ford hospitalized from the gunshot wound. he is expected to survive. all three of the suspects we're told by sources will be charged with second degree murder. brad bell, abc7 news. alison: we will take that live. michelle: he would have turned 29 but now family and friends mourn his loss. amy aubert is live in upper chichester at colson's high school. difficult day for the folks there. amy: very difficult.

we don't see the public information officer julie parker. but there is stawinski. picture of officer colson four-year officer working there. >> good afternoon. thank you for your patience. i'm julie parker, the director of the media relations for prince george's county police department. before we begin our department would like to express its extreme gratitude for the show of support we have received from around the nation. we have heard from the white house. from the f.b.i. director. f from the a.t.f. from governor hogan. senator mikulski, congressman hoyier and congresswoman edwards multiple other people. and from our law enforcement family from around the country and in fact around the world. we can't forget the citizens of prince george's county who reached out to so many of us. we thank

in this tragic time. we are going to begin this afternoon with steve stawinski of our police department -- with chief stawinski of the police department who will introduce f.o.p. lodge 89 president and we will take questions afterwards. chief stawinski? >> thank you, miss parker. good afternoon. a little less than 24 hours ago it was my sad duty to come before our community and talk about the fact that one of their defenders had fallen. now i come before a much larger community as julie alluded to and i want to send my personal gratitude to all the people mentioned an unmentioned who wrapped their arms around this department and indeed this county in the hours that have passed. as always, my commitment is to ascertain facts an

them to this community so that you can understand what happened. what i can ill you now is last evening, mr. michael ford and the three ford brothers on the touch screen to my right had a number of conversations, which investigators have concluded that michael ford, the shooter in this instance did not expect to survive the engagement that he and his brothers precipitated at the district iii station. at 4:17, those conversations are happening. just after 4:30, the incident you are all familiar with now began. during the engagement with the officers,

opportunities for the shooter and our officers to exchange gunfire manifested themselves. i want to point out clearly based on our review of the video evidence that the prince george's county police officers involved in this used incredible restraint. because they were cognizant of the fact there were homes behind michael as he was firing at them. because they couldn't be clear in every instance, who else might have been down range as the gun fire erupted? michael begins the confrontation unprovoked with a series of several shots. reloads the weapon. continues the engagement. i need the community to know -- i'm going to step here for a second, that the ford brothers involved fired at this

this citizen's car, fired at an ambulance, fired randomly. heroically, detective colson reacted to a set of circumstances that frankly i don't think he was entirely prepared for. seeing the danger presented by michael the shooter, he took action. in doing so he demonstrated extreme heroism, his actions allowed officers to take a position to intervene and neutralize the threat. detective colson drew fire to himself and was mortally wounded. my principal concern in this

with you. that image is of one of the ford brothers standing by taking no action on a video recording device taping this, his brother, shooting at prince george's county police officers. they knew in advance, they had every opportunity to call 911 and seek medical help. they did nothing. they witnessed him shoot the citizens' cars, shoot the ambulance and the restraint of the police officers not firing at them as they were doing something odd, sitting in the middle of a firefight, they were engaged. they were concerned for their own safety. but not for the safety of the citizens and the public. now it is my sad duty to

to share with you that circumstantially we believe the fired round that led to detective colson's death was fired by one of the fellow prince george's police officers reacting to this. something that could have been prevented. could have been stopped. you see james and sheila, not with him today, their son, they are standing in unity with this family today. something the ford brothers could have stopped. know that i spent the day talking to our county executive. he has wrapped his arms around this family and fully supports this community and this police family. the same with the state's attorney miss angela alsobrooks know that 21 charges are being placed against these individuals as we speak. everything from conspiracy to commit murder to

murder. know that this was preventable i spoke about the fact that circumstantially we believe the round that killed detective colson was fired by a police officer. but the community knows this department does not operate on circumstantial evidence. so while we have identified the six officers who will be named and victims charging documents made available from the state's attorney office already, i am not prepared to say which of those officers might have fired that round. results of the office -- results of the autopsy are spending. this is circumstantial. result of the examination of the forensic technicians and firearms investigation are spending. my concern, grave concern, the community needs to know this was callously recorded and could have b

so with that, i'm going to invite the president of our fraternal order of police who has been with me all day as we tried to help the membership of this department sworn-in civilian manage through this. zeke will step up to speak to you. >> thank you, chief. jacai colson, son, friend, police officer, hero not only to the prince george's county police department but every citizen in prince george county. he was presented with a situation. he didn't ask for. and he reacted. he reacted to protect his fellow police officers. and the community. while doing so, the individuals videotaping i

something we will put on youtube and glorify. i know this community better. than a lot of people. i have worked here for many years. 16-1/2 years. this is not acceptable. this is not tolerated. this is a small segment of the population who would believe something like that is acceptable. i know we will stand to condemn the actions. and assist us palestinians the street to keep us safe. the police officers take risks. they put their live osen the line but he

community at their back and we police together. we live in the community. we are part of the community. i said before that jacai colson could lit up a room. he lit up everybody's lives he touched. he made a commitment to make a difference in the world when he joined the prince george's county police department. he made a difference every day he was here. he saved lives yesterday. we thank god he was allowed in our lives. we are so grateful his family shared him with us. thank you. >> chief?

i love this police department. i love the county. this is my home. jacai was senselessly taken from us. there are other questions that the community, the nation has my vow as information verified information arrived at through the proper technique is available, i will answer further questions. we do not operate off of circumstantial evidence. i want to be clear about that. i'm asking for your love and support as you have demonstrated it. to allow the men and women of the department come together and grieve because they are

devastated. i want to thank james and sheila. an act of singular bravery to come before you now. 24 hours after the loss of their son. thank you for the manner that you dealt with this, the media up to this point. i will answer questions in the restraints i laid out. >> chief, why would the brothers do something? >> this is about nothing. unprovoked. this is more troubling to me because it's been reported that michael had a history of mental illness. more troubling to me that anyone could stand by callousously and watch

unfold. whatever your police about policing might be, to observe someone shooting at an ambulance and do nothing and that brings up a broader issue. anyone traveling through the area yesterday in a number of other cars providing additional information on who saw this, please, i'm asking you to reach out to us and provide information about circumstances to have more understanding of the circumstances. that is my obligation to the community to bring you best and the most complete understanding possible. go look at your car. see there is damage. it's conceivable. we would like a conversation with you if that is the case. >> chief, the officer that ce

running into? did they come out of the district free station? did they know there was gunfire? they engaged -- >> the police officers run to disorder. they run to the sound of shots. the officers who engage them, the majority of them are in the majority district iii station and were fired at directly. this wasn't shots fired at a building but the individuals fired upon. colson found himself in the middle of a drug fight. but his actions stepping out of the vehicle to engage be the shooter, drawing him and his attention away to allow the other officers to move forward from position of advantage to neutralize the threat that the shooter

set about aid to get him transported to the hospital. >> you mentioned circumstantial evidence. we understand that. a lot of people watching are struggling to understand the circumstances that may have led to the tragedy. can you characterize how officer colson came to the scene, how he was dressed and perhaps might have been misidentified in the chaos? can you help us with that, please? >> i have seen this scenario played out on a couple of different recordings. as dective colson is arriving he is arriving -- we know he was a detective in narcotics enforcement division. he doesn't wa

police officer. he arrives in a vehicle we use for the purpose and engages with the shooter. he is dressed in civilian closed. he is not prepared for a firefight he has arrived at. moving down barlow road in the direction of 202 to allow our officer see the motion and move up they are in a position of the advantage. but they don't know what they are facing. in this confusion we believe that the errant round struck detective colson. circumstantially that is our belief. unless i have the forensic evidence i won't fire conclusions on which officer fired the round. >> it does appear to show the assailant had a handgun? no long guns involved? >> michael had a handgun.

firing had taken place? >> the shooting had begun. after a first volley and reload he arrived and now engagement to the officers behind cover. they are trying to get to a position to return fire. but talk about the restraint of the prince george's county police officers on this. they are moving cover to cover and looking for a clear threat. they are cognizant that residents are behind them and traffic on the roadway as they engage the shooter. >> can you give us the meths to let other officer knows they are undercover officers? >> there are ways we do it for visual co

don't want people to know they are dealing with undercover officers but the reality in this circumstance is detective colson arrives in the middle of a firefight. that lasts a few minutes. we believe the motion of the interaction is where the misperception manifest itself and the errant round strikes detective colson. >> you say "errant round." you mean he wasn't intentionally fired at or he was -- >> at this point i characterize it as errant because it wasn't as a threat. i won't say it's misfire. that is what the investigation and the forensic evidence will tell us as a result of the investigation. >> to be clear, can you say if the officer that shot the round mistook officer colson fo

or we just don't know that. something was fired in the chaos and officer colson was struck. >> i can't affirmativety -- affirmatively answer that. that's what they want them to lead me. we haven't interviewed the involved officers. we are still only more than 24 hours into this. we will know that. when we do, we will prepared to answer the questions. >> give us more information about michael ford. did he have an outstanding warrant? more on his state of mind. can you talk about the department and the loss? >> right now, mr. ford didn't have outstanding warrants. there were issues in days prior to the shooting that were reported. there were no open

i want to thank kevin perkins and special agent in charge of the local a.t.f. office. through their resources we verified that there does not be a nexus with large movement behind it. as i said in the beginning of this we believe that the ford brothers did not expect the shooter to survive his engagement with the police officers. michelle: we'll pull away from this q&a portion of the news conference with the prince george's county. you can watch it on wjla.com. few of the highlights from this news conference is we are learning the situation, the circumstances, the turn of events that led up to the killing of jacai colson, the officer who was killed just yesterday outside of district

this is interesting to learn and see the brothers accused of the crime. ford brothers malik and elijah are accused of recording and knowing about the shooting planned according to the police by michael. they recorded the shooting with the cell phone. did nothing to stop it. that is what led to the chaotic scene in front of district iii. leon: clearly agitated chief stawinski, hank stawinski, this is about nothing, they have no idea about the motive until michael ford showed up opening fire, emptying one gun and reloading. he said in heroic action detective jacai colson reacted by drawing fire. the fire of michael ford to himself to allow other officers to respond to the scene. a firefight ensued where the civilian cars were hit. ford fired at an ambulance even and a fire truck. in the chaos there, we understand that

believe officer colson was shot and killed. they have confirmed that the bullet that killed him was fired by one of the fellow officers. right now six officers identified as fired shots in the firefight. chief stawinski at this point they are not ready to identify which officer fired the bullet that killed colson. right now 21 different charges are filed against the surviving brothers in the incident. as he said this was about nothing. michelle: also interesting to note he was in plain clothes. because he was an undercover detective. he was dressed as a civilian. you can understand in the heat of all of this it would be difficult to determine at first glance in the middle of a shootout who is on which side. leon: we understand that the police say they noticed that ford did fire at a two different cars that were not police cars at the scene. they are asking anyone who may have been in that area in landover around :30 p.m. on sunday who m

it or who if you notice there is damage on your car that you did not notice before. police want to talk with you. you may have seen or heard something that can help them in the investigation. so if you were in the area, police want to talk with you as soon as possible. michelle: we'll have much more on the breaking news coverage. brad bell is at the news conference. we will get an update from him. stay with us. we'll be right back.

leon: anger on the rail and the road as problems on metro snarl commute for thousands of area workers. michelle: the problem that caused it still unresolveed. brianne carter covering metro. what is behind this? brianne: the issue is the fire on the track. train were stopping in both directions. that is not the case earlier. they are now stopping in both directions. heads up tonight. closures at 9:00. to fix the problem. >> crowding and delays and single tracking after a fire on the track outside the mcpherson square station. >> every couple of weeks it seems there is some issue.

a fire. single tracking or then it double or triples the time. brianne: they say it took two hours to get downtown. mckee traded in the morning metro mess for uber. >> we had to wait for a train to go to the metro center. switch over there to get it. >> midday the delays continue. >> now we are giving up. we're able-bodied. we can walk. >> the metro officials say the fire damaged several cables that will now have to be replaceed. >> a tough situation. you have buses deployed everywhere in the system. >> come back for a huge push like that. the timing could not be worse. >> this is as the authority is working on the recommendations to

no word if they were in need of a replacement. >> the fire is under investigation. this is going to happen at the specific stations for repairs. >> now to the top story. that of a prince george's county police officer shot to death in line of duty. this is likely case of friendly fire as the officers responded to an ambush. officer jacai colson is the first prince george's police officer shot to death i

of duty since 2005. the last was sergeant steven gaugin. 15-year veteran married to a fellow police officer. leon: for the first time the officer's widow tells us about the tragedy. about her survival as well. >> shots were fired and steve got hit. >> it has been a decade since prince george's county police sergeant steve gaugin shot to death in the line of duty. it was here on a street now named after him he was killed in traffic spot. it brings memory back for gaughan's widow. >> 11 years later i am in a better place. i will never go away. i have learned to accept it. >> a former county police officer knew the ris that can came wi

thought she would be left behind with two small children. after her husband's murder she knew she had to move forward. >> a i have a purpose. i am not going to give up. that is how the police officers will come through the other side to see they have a purpose. >> she says her husband's funeral was surreal and seemed in slow motion. for those who will go through that, she offers this advice. >> hold on to each other. >> talk to each other. stay in the moment. go through the pain, not around it. >> not a day goes by she doesn't think after her first husband. >> the blessing that you have is you carry that person with you for the rest of your life. >> i am blessed to have known

>> e has never told the story before. now she sees the role as someone who can help those who knew colson in the way few people can. leon: that advice will be need and used. the four officers shot to death in the past six weeks are part of a disturbing national trend. in fact, the number of the officers ambushed this year is half the number for all of last year. we are delving in the issue and what the department of justice is doing about it ahead at 6:00. michelle: ahead at 5:00 -- a dino discovery. find out how the t-rex became a top predator.

leon: two people are dead and a third injured after a crash. it shows the importance of wearing seat belt. they were in the front seat and not wearing a seat belt. the passenger in the backseat was belt and that passenger survived. preliminary information suggest that the speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. >> see how it is shaping up on the roads. jamie sullivan is on traffic watch. jamie: we're watching metro, of course, been an issue and will still continue to be an issue throughout the evening. single tracking from federal triangle to foggy bottom. service will be suspended between federal triangle and foggy bottom. still on the sill veer line operating wiehle reston to ballston. continue on the o

of a newly discovered dinosaur species. related and similar to t-rex but about the size of a horse. >> long, slender legs. a large head. hijack fossils were found in -- >> mike: the fossils were found in 2000 in uzbekistan. >> this is indigence style stuff. >> they believe this brain case, part of the skull is unique species that lived 90 million years ago to fill 20-million gap in the fossil record. >> this is an evolutionary story. how did the king get its crown? where did t-rex come from? how does evolution produce animal like a seven-ton super predator? mike: this replica of the brain about the size of a grapefruit is smaller than the basketball-size brain case of the tyrannosaurus rex. they believe the smaller, the

smart as t-rex. >> it's a well developed ear for low frequency hearing. the noise you hear if someone walks about or a car drives by. mike: they believe the evolutionary superachieversing of t-rex happened quickly. he hopes to better understand that change by finding more fossils on the next expedition in kazakhstan and across central asia. mike carter-conneen, abc7 news. michelle: that is all for us at 5:00. more on the new information released about the prince george's county officer killed in an ambush over the weekend.
