that is just the way we're made. >> cnn anchor chris cuomo sat down with lieutenant murphy in an exclusiven hit an awful lot. when you are on your belly and you look down and your hands are basically just shot to pieces, then you start thinking i might be in trouble here. >> reporter: lieutenant brian murphy remembers every one of the 15 bullets he took on what he calls a beautiful sunday morning this past august, just moments after responding to a call of shots fired at a sikh temple in wisconsin. >> reporter: what happened? >> i yelled stop, i saw his pistol come up. we both shot pretty much about the same time. 30, 40 yards away, maybe. i missed, and he hit me directly in the chin. and it went down my throat and ripped apart my voice box. >> reporter: there is a story to tell, murphy, confronting the shadowy figure, who runs right at him. when murphy is hit, the shooter closes in. nine people were already hit, six died, in a desperate act of terrorism. now, lieutenant murphy was in the shooter's sights. >> that is when the shots hit me in the back of the leg, hit the vest a couple of ti

chris cuomo is here as well. await the news conference, i think there's a limit to what law enforcement is going to be able to tell us right the now, since this is clearly a very ongoing situation, a very dangerous situation. >> absolutely, wolf, and let's be honest. that's not what matters. what matters is the authorities are doing everything they can. anderson and i are sharing reporting here from a tactical expert who's telling us there's very well cause for a scramble right now on the part of law enforcement. why? visibility issues. darkness is coming there. they're in a remote area. they'll have to set up nighttime perimeter for vision. they have tactics and assets that will allow them to discern if somebody's in the home. infrared scanners and things like that, but they're a little limited because they're looking at proximity. this is a secure vehicle from earlier on, but they have vehicles like that that can allow them to get closer and send a message to people inside that they have serious assets. but rig

let's go back to new york with chris cuomo. >> thank you, carol.iting me to your show this morning. appreciate it. joining me is father edward beck, the host of the sunday mass on abc's family channel. father, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. >> let's move into the idea of is there any intrigue here? you could accept it on its face. the pope is 85 years old. he's got a very strong mind. he's seen his own deterioration. very close to john paul ii. saw his own demise and spoke to people about it. do you believe there's any cause for intrigue or something different on its face? >> like another dan brown book in the making. >> is it? >> i don't think so. i think it's a frail man who realizes it. he saw john paul ii and was very close to that whole scene of him deteriorating, and he doesn't want that for himself. he talked two years ago about the possibility of a pope resigning if in ill health, and he's following through with what he said would be a good thing to do. i don't buy the intrigue part of it at all. >> and a pope can resign. they're t

chris cuomo will continue our coverage. i'll be back later for our state of the union coverage tonight. we're working these multiple stories. a big night, major news developing out in southern california. >>> if you're just joining us, i'm anderson cooper in washington along with chris cuomo, watching what has been a very tense, difficult and dynamic situation over the last several hours. the headline at this moment, one sheriff's deputy is dead. that has been confirmed. another has been shot. we're waiting for an update on that deputy's condition from the loma linda medical center, where they were airlifted earlier today. apparently both deputies shot as authorities were closing in on this cabin where christopher dorner had sought refuge after engaging in a shootout on a roadblock, essentially, earlier in the day. this was a cabin nearby highway 38 where that roadblock incident took place. one deputy apparently shot, again allegedly by christopher dorner, from inside that cabin. then according to the "l.a. times," a source

. >> chris cuomo was talkinguct that earlier. it is a wind event. you have to have wind over 35 miles per hour for three hours straight, talking about visibility less than a quarter of a mile. it can be a ground blizzard even without snow. if it's just a blizzard, just blowing that light, fluffy snow around where you can't see a quarter mile, that's still a ground blizzard, but a true blizzard has to have snow falling from the sky at the same time. all of those things have to be put together. >> i was ten years old in '78. i still remember that blizzard, that snow storm here in new york city. any sense of how this is going to compare to '78? >> for new york city, it won't be an issue. we won't be close in the city because we got half of our resip out of the way as a rain/snow mucky mess. so that was good. we didn't pile up. by this time, we've had enough rain. enough moisture falling out of the sky of new york city. there could have been 12 inches on the ground already with another 4 to 8 to go. that would have got you to even 20. that didn't happen

and chris cuomo, welcome to cnn. this is how we measure the snow at cnn. we use the president ruler. i have been watching it all day. poking it in the same spot so it's accurate, so we're officially just hitting beyond polk. that's where we are now. you can bet your bottom dollar i think we'll be up to cleveland by tonight. >> we have a long way to go. thank you for the welcome. one of the considerations again is that winter wonderland where ashleigh is, but with that wind and as the storm's bands move, you could have much more extreme weather not that far away. so let's figure out what the track of the storm is with chief meteorologist for cnn chad myers. you're in the severe weather center. what do we understand, first? give us a sense of why this blizzard is a concoction of these two fronts, what it means and where it's moving? >> one low pressure center, chris, brought the cold. one brought the warm. and wet. and the one here from michigan came across, a little bit slower than it maybe could have been. and then the one came up from the south, and that'

i want to see chris cuomo making one now. >> oh, wow. we'll make sure we let him know that and see if it works. thank you so much, gene. >> good to see you this morning. have a nice weekend. nice to see you today. "state of the union" with candy crowley starts now. >>> have bully pulpit, will travel. today from decatur to asheville and chicago, the president pushes gun control, a higher minimum wage and universal pre-school. >> and that whole plan, well, others by the way, is a trade we could use more often in washington. >> a conversation with senator chuck schumer about reality. what and when can the senate deliver? >> and -- >> i'm not interested in an 11th hour negotiation. >> republicans dig in from budget cuts to some of the president's nominees. we'll talk with a member of the republican leadership team, senator john barrasso from wyoming, and mandatory spending cuts take effect from eleven days from now. >> it would have destructive cuts on national security, defense. >> average wait times to clear customs will increase by 50%. >

i'm erin burnett. >> and i'm chris cuomo, next to erin. so we're waiting on this moment. and waving. a lot of mixed emotions. he'll get on the helicopter bound forecastel gandolfo. that is the papal retreat south of rome. there will be thousands of town folks there, the faithful, waiting for him. remember that will be the last time they see pope benedict in public as pope. >> earlier he said a poignant farewell to the cardinals. they have gathered to choose the successor in rome. he will be submitting to the pontiff. one thing interesting, chris, a lot of them were using modern social media and tweeting about what he told them in their brief interaction which adds a whole new and fascinating layer to all of this. >> it's interesting, so much social media being used and yet we will wait for smoke out of a chimney to see when the next pope has been elected. again, four hours. that's when pope benedict's papacy will visibly come to an end. 8:00 local time in italy. that's when the swiss guard members, we all know them from their decorative costumes. they will leave their pos

. >> i'm chris cuomo and excited to hear that you are about to get off of the ship, yes? >> so am i, very excited. >> how close are you to exiting? >> repeat that, please? >> how close are you to getting off of the ship? >> i don't really know how close we are. we are about -- oh, my gosh, about 20 yards or so from the exit door. lined up in section where there are diamond, platinum and v.i.p. passengers, and there are still elderly passengers in wheelchairs that obviously will disembark first. and there's probably, i don't know, 300 to 400 people in this group that will disembark after the elderly and those that need special assistance. >> okay. just so i understand you. robin, your understanding of how you get off of the ship, fit the people who need to get off, the medical condition torg elderly or the infirm and then they start to go through the classes, is that how it works? >> yes, i think that like i said the elderly and those with special needs and maybe even those with small children should be able to, they were asked to come down to notify the crew earlier in th

but first i want to bring in our chris cuomo who was in chicago right now. he's going to tell us a little bit about what we should expect from the president and what he'll be talking about. obviously, chris, gun violence has been a major issue in chicago for many, many months now and the president has been called to this question, why hasn't he dealt with more forcibly in his remarks in a few moments, chris? >> reporter: that's right. it sets off in the '80s where he began his career as a community organizer. he would become a state legislator and u.s. senator. the connection is great. he still has a home here. the 15-year-old hadiya pendleton was killed a mile from where his job is. the connection is very real for him. the gun violence rate is one of the highest in the country. the poverty rate in the south side of chicago where he will be speaking today, where he was once a community organizer, one of the highest in the country. we've been here a couple of days, talking to community organizers. they say the need has never been greater. so when the president

. >> before that remarkable story last night, cnn's chris cuomo pmz sat down with brian murphy. >> i'vehands are basically shot to pieces, then you start thinking, i might be in trouble here. >> reporter: lieutenant brian murphy remembers every one of the 15 bullets he took of what he calls a beautiful sunday morning this past august, just moments after responding to a call of shots fired at a sikh temple in wisconsin. what happened? >> i yelled stop. i saw his pistol come up, we both shot pretty much about the same time. 30, 40 yards away, maybe. i missed and he hit me directly in the chin and went down my throat and ripped apart my voice box and my larn knicks. >> reporter: his voices still damaged but there's dash cam video to tell the story. murphy confronting the shadowy figure of the killer who runs right at him, both firing. when murphy is hit, the shooter closes in. nine people were already shot, six died in a hateful act of domestic terrorism. now lieutenant murphy was in the shooter's sights. >> that's when he hit in the back of the leg and hit the vest a couple of times and s

we continue our coverage with chris cuomo. >> this is cnn breaking news. we begin in california with miguel marquez. he's in big bear, california. he's been tracking the story all day and he has the latest. miguel, what do we know? >> well, we know there is a body in a cabin just up the road from where we are. and we believe it is the body of christopher dorner. we have confirmed it through several federal law enforcement and through someone who apparently leaked it from los angeles police department that dorner is in that cabin and now it is a matter of collecting his body and 100% identifying it. san bernardino sheriffs office push back as has lapd saying they haven't gotten in there and are not sure it is him but they said throughout the day mr. dorner was spotted several times, was in the cabin and never left that cabin. i have from another law enforcement official, federal official that his cell phone, mr. dorner's cell phone went on throughout the day and it is possible they were able to talk to him during the day and confirm he was in there and more

. >> now we'll throw to chris cuomo for more unless of the state of the union address and marco rubio, his republican response. chris. >> thank you, jake. good plug for the show by the way. joined by juan carlos lopez. you spent a lot of time with the senator just last week. it is a high bar, but did the senator deliver for his party and for himself? >> marco rubio is a known enlt at this inside the beltway. he is known in florida, and i think his state of the union reply is giving him a national stage. he is a rising star in the republican party. he gave the exact same speech in spanish that he did in english consistent with what he said all along, and he will be a key player in immigration. i think it puts him in a different stage and creates a lot of opportunities for him and for the republican party. >> when you are with him, did you get the sense he has the fire to be out front? >> people that know him knows he has more than enough fire. he has been even though he is 41, 42 years old, he has more than 20 years in politics. he was the youngest speak inner the florida house. he has

>> chris cuomo this morning.you think just straight up do you think his successor might find wisdom in the notion of hanging it up early, maybe set a precedent here? >> i agree with the quotations of the priest. we need a person, a leader, a real leader with good health, a wise man, continuing to train and i agree with benedict sistine and he has few guideline -- very clear, if i don't have the health, spirituality, mentality, and everything, i will resign. and it is simple for us. the doctrine is continuing to be the same. i think it is an example for everybody, the leader, the church, continuing. it is much better. resign now. >> italian popes, think of polish, currently german. looking at the statistics and the numbers from brazil, imagine having a pope who speaks portuguese. all i can think about today. thank you, both. appreciate it. >>> pope benedict xvi is a man of firsts. not only is he the first pope in almost 600 years to leave, pick up and leave to resign here, two months ago he joined the twitter-vers
