check on mr. thompson. so, you know, that number could be high or low, depending on when they were shooting the animals in all directions, it's hard to keep track. we're shooting to kill now. >> and this morning, the sheriff said that was the command overnight. it would have been too difficult and dangerous to tranquilize the animals. ohio has some of the weakest restricts on exotic pets and the highest number of deaths caused by them. >> and you is each -- thank you so much. officials in ohio getting help this morning from animal experts. >> and those experts include jack hanna, the director a merry us with the columbus -- ameritus with the columbus zoo and joins us live from the scheme. good morning, this is tony perkins, good to talk to you. it's been some sometime. >> -- some time. >> good morning. >> a strange morning in ohio and we got the latest. apparently there might be dozen or so animals on the loose. do we know what types are on the loose?

lives here. they had to take down 31 reign pals. there are 45 animals, the man took his own life. we up there assessing the situation. it's one good thing it's pouring rain and cold, so they're hungered down somewhere. that is -- hunkered for us to find them and they're also not moving and that is the situation here right now. >> and now this morning when you're saying it's daybreak now, has the plan changed at all? you said it's hard to tranquilize animals at night and they're in different terrain. you don't know where they are, human life against animal life. i hear that. what is the plan as you move forward now? >> and right now, the cats are in the enclosures and my your standing is it's a filthy mess up there and we're trying to remove the problem animals. we're told if you work with them as we do, you don't run

i am just speculating and i am sure something else will come out. who knows. animal rights folks and everyone. you have human life and animal life. you have to understand something. no one loves animals more than me. when you have a human being involved, the sheriff had to do what he had to do, period suspicous that is what it's about. >> understood. thank you for the insight this morning, jack hanna. good to see you. >> thank you. and to our big story now. heartbreak in montgomery county after an intense search that went on for days. the police believe they have found the body of 11-year-old william mcclane. more on that in a moment. first, the arrest of a high- profile murder of another young child. 12-year-old jess yaca nguyen was found -- jessica nguyen was found dead in her basement. the police have a suspect in custody. >> stacey cohan has more. a stad ending to a tragic

hired by folks at harvard university to do field research and policeing. it was just another assignment to me. and that lasted about my first field visit because it was mid- 80s, the early days of the crack epidemic. a lot of the work we were looking at was of what was going on in the crack markets and these are places that folks like me don't go unless they're buying drugs and i don't buy crack on the street. what i saw was hourennous. -- horrendous. idiot white guys buying drugs from young black kids, people living in terror, grandmothers afraid to leave their apartments. >> uh-huh. >> and the beginning of what i have seen all over the country, the informal street chimes to the dead on the street and that was appalling and i never let it go and -- >> that is something that

shoot people and sell poison on the corner, but it's wrong to try to prevent that in a way where one in three american males go to prison, where entire neighbors are in lockdown. it's wrong for communities to be at the -- mad the the cops and to be killing their own. you can bring the groups together. law enforcement community and the very small number of hard- core offenders that drive this stuff. sit down and say this is not okay. everyone's going to do something different. you have to put your guns down. we don't want to lock you up so we're going to tell you ahead of time how the game is going to be played and we would like to hip, your community to stop and this is not a negotiation. if it doesn't stop, we're going to take tips -- steps. >> and this is a program that went on in dozens of cities. tell me about the experience in

chicago. >> when we started this in boston in the mid-'90s, people called it the boston miracle where it stopped. that is boston, not chicago. they're right. that was boston and not chicago. we started a year ago in the worst neighbor in chicago, west garfield park, which is no longer the most dangerous neighborhood in chicago n. a year and based on two of the face-to-face community meetings and related work, homicide and west garfield park is down 40%. >> you're going to be talking about. this you know, we touch on this, a small fraction near the tip of the iceberg. obviously, there are a lot of details about what goes into this and naturally, these groups are reluctant in many cases to talk to each other. >> and read the polarized -- . >> the cops are racist and this stuff. so, you're going have an event tonight? i believe, a read something can you tell us about that?

delay. he's the doctor accused of causing michael jackson's death. the jurors know hear from the leading expert. he's the prosecution's final witness and murray's attorneys claim that jackson gave him the fatal dose of drugs and they backed off the theory a bit. they say that happened instead of dr. murray administering it. and a controversial law affecting drivers in the district is on hold now. the d.c. city council members approved a measure to stop police officers to have the authority to arrest drivers with expired license tags or plate tags and for now, there are no more arrests. you can get a ticket and be towed. >> at the end of the day, you have some laws in the books that don't make sense. the judged to correct them. >> and me idea is to find out how many people were arrested under had law in the -- under this law the past 10 years. i hope it's in the many and if

interceptions in the game and came back in. >> i think we're sick of it. >> and once you go. >> what do you mean? >> throughout the season. >> i think we're tired of it, you know and you're the experts. you want to make it strong. >> yeah. >> and we'll see what happens judge and that is my uneducated of it all. >> and when i have a view, you don't like it at all. >> he was helping me. he was uneducated. >> why are we dressed a like today? >> and i noticed that. i didn't want to say anything. >> i got here before you did, tony. there is your radar and this is the good news, light showers lifting out of the area and we have some leftover cloud cover, fog out there and i hear at least one rainbow in northwest portions of the city. and say goodbye to the rainbow as well and inside the beltway, doing fine just now. most of the rain showers pushing up north of howard county and into carol and baltimore county and lifting to the north and east. doesn't mean we're done with
