at the all-important delegate count. trump won the largest share of the delegates last night but cruz continues to accrue delegates, as well. meaning trump will have to fight for every delegate through the spring as rick mention inned. on the democratic side, clinton won about 300 delegates last night, making it all but impossible for sanders to make up the difference before july. our election coverage does not end here. we're going to look at the mood of the voters before last night's primaries and the issues that mattered most. that's later in this half hour. another major headlines this morning. there's been another police shooting this time in fort worth, texas. police had tried to stop an suv to serve outstanding warrants. that led to a high speed chase. a chase on foot and a shoot-out. the police officer is in critical condition. one of the suspects is dead and the other, his son, is in custody. the city of ferguson, missouri is accepting a justice department plan to overhaul its police department and courts. there were cheers when the council so theed in
