7:09 am
>> reporter: what's your mission? >> i want to see the department come through on the other side better. i want to see the community come out better, and the nation. >> the police chief here has taken a great deal of criticism in this case but made clear to me no matter the decision from the grand jury, michael brown's death will remain a tragic situation for everyone involved here, including police. >> hopefully everyone will listen to what michael brown's father had to say about peace regardless of the grand jury. possibly this weekend. and now to dan harris. >> great to see you. new security concerns at the white house overnight. just as president obama was wrapping up his immigration speech, the secret service arrested a woman carrying a holstered handgun near the north fence in a protest. this is a day after the secret service arrested a suspicion man parked near the white house with a rifle in his car. he is facing weapons charges.
