does not show the actual shooting. it shows the accused shooter walking through the mall wearing a mask. and we've learned the man who first spotted the victim and followed him through the mall was interviewed twice before they arrested him. >> i wouldn't say he's cooperative, but he's come in when asked to. the entire family is shocked he's been arrested on this. >> this is a childhood picture of the victim. his father is heart broken but relieved. >> it's good they're in jail. you can't go around here killing people. i love him. he was my only son. i see his face every night. >> the accused shooter told the judge i was hoping to get bail so i could seek appropriate representation. he slouched slouched in a jump suit appearing on a closed circuit television. >> we have a long way to go.

flights in and out of denver's airports. schools are closed and while most are moving, colorado had to close parts of the interstate because of the dangerous positions. the wind would top up to 50 miles per hour, producing blizzard conditions. visibility at times will be near zero. >> still, some people don't have a choice but to brave the weather and go about their business. now the storm is stretching as far south as new mexico. tim williams is tracking this massive system. tim is this. >> their biggest problem is this system is mushing up against the foothills and it's pushing into the highest elevations. we look at the doppler radar and all the moisture is going up into the highest elevation where is the air is the coldest that it could possibly be there. it's generating its cold air by the pressure system that's

moving out. the graphic gives you an idea of how it's going to impact the country. it's going to move into our area, but the heavy, cold air is going to stay on the edge along with the snow. we'll see the rain as it passes over. we could see light rain and snow mix, but it's not going to be anything like that as the system starts to move into dryer air. we'll continue to keep your posted. stay with wjz for updates and live doppler anytime log onto www.wjz.com. american tourists were headed to a resort when kidnappers stopped their van. he were holding the americans for ransom but then set them free. tonight, more than three dozen maryland troops are
