the freddie gray arrest and the freddie gray killing which led to this.was the proximate cause of this arrest in baltimore. the arrest happened on april 12th. if you know anything about this story, you know mr. gray was arrested for a reason that's still rather murky. he was taken into custody by baltimore police. you see that footage here. he's limp as they bring him into the back of a police van. by the time he ended up getting out of that police van -- by the time that police van arrived at its destination at the police station he was unconscious. this happened on april 12th. freddie gray then went into a coma and he died on april 19th. his family says that when he died his spinal cord was nearly severed and they believe that whatever killed him happened to him after he was taken into custody either before he was put into that van or once he was in that van. now what has happened this evening is that for the first time some information has surfaced about what maybe the police investigation into freddie gray's death. an affidavit part of an application

it's not really about freddy gray is it? >> this is much more than freddy gray.n and venting and being angry and doing it in an unproductive way, they are carrying their father's and grandfather's burden. >> you are a democrat right? >> yes. >> and is this on you guys the democratic rule here and is this an idea that you haven't gotten it done as a party or structure here and is that the focus on the blame? >> leadership is not based off of party lines, and at the end of the day, have there been failed policies? yes. all of these things directly play into recidivism and it's all about leadership and not about parties. >> since you have grown up is it different today than it was? is it better? >> no not in certain communities, no. certain communities have been stagnant. >> o'malley saying i am going to run on the back of how i changed baltimore, and you are saying that's not impressive? >> i am not saying there is nothing impressive about o'malley and we are talking about baltimore. >> one in every three is in poverty in that area. >> if you look at things from th

the family of freddie gray pleading for peace. the police commissioner warned outside agitators, outside demonstrators to not try to stir things up but if you look at the hometowns of the more than 30 people arrested on saturday into the early morning sunday most of them were from baltimore. what are you seeing where you are? >> that they were from baltimore and this is a very, very disturbing development. in this neighborhood where freddie gray was arrested a couple weeks ago. they were very much over it after saturday's event. thought it got too heated, to violent between protestors and police. and now this on the day of freddie gray's funeral and just a half mile from the church a very very powerful service for 25-year-old freddie gray, and now this. the city is is going to have a tough time putting this back in the box. this is how they are reacting on this particular day, because they did not expect it. i think that the police at western district which is in the epicenter of the protest here most angry, but mostly people prot

how did freddie gray die? what was the cause of death?nd there is no guarantee that an autopsy will present the answer to that question which means you may have to bring more experts. so i think a month, two months is far from out of the question. it is far better though i think to be late, to be slow than to be wrong. and i think if it takes a while it's going to take a while. but it really is important for prosecutors and police to get this one right. >> on another subject, you're friends with the mayor, today she came out and said basically that she got it wrong, that she shouldn't have called the young people who were being violent on the streets monday thugs. she regretted that. it's interesting she's now come forward and said that. >> i have been critical of the mayor in terms of those remarks. she is a very close friend of mine. but i was surprised she chose to use that word. she is very measured, she's a critical thinker. sheesz she's sensitive to the issues facing communities of color. what is also interesting to me is that peopl

we're just getting reaction from the family of freddie gray. jim handly has that. jim? >> blocks away from where this violence erupted was the funeral for freddie gray just two hours after they celebrated his life. the family spokesman, the family attorney spoke with family members and supporters gathered around him at the church today. here's what he had to say. >> this isn't a white/black issue. it's an issue of how do we treat ourselves as human beings. we love this city and we are here to work as hard as we can and as long as we can until this problem is solved. this is not going away. >> loretta lynch, the new attorney general just sworn in today, also issued a statement today saying the civil rights investigation into gray's death will continue and she also condemned today's violence. at the live desk jim handly. >> thank you, jim. maryland's governor, larry hogan, activated an emergency request after a request from the mayor. jackie bensen is live. jackie? >> reporter: doreen the effort to restore order on the streets in baltimore is being coordinated here from t

we saw that freddie gray was hurt going in that van.now that when he got in that van none of us know what happened other than he was hurt going into the van. so if you're hurt going into the van and you're in excruciating pain you're going to continue to be in pain. i don't know how that the reports are saying that now that means that he hurt himself and that he broke his own back. he injured his own spine. it's just not logical. and it's telling us what we saw in the video is not what happened. and that's just not fact. >> that is a frustration. you know people on social media have been saying it looks like he was injured getting into the van. how could you be saying it happened in the van. dee, what's your reaction? if there ends up being no charges in this case our justice reporters are saying that's a real possibility, right, that there may not be, what will the reaction be? is there any way to convince the community that the investigation has been fair and thorough? obviously we don't have dee's audio. he could hear me but we could

>> he believes that freddie gray was injured outside the paddy wagon, before. >> while freddie gray wasted. >> yes. >> and did this officer see any indication that freddie gray had been injured? >> no. he did not. >> there are a lot of questions about what happened to freddie gray once he was in the paddy wagon. the attorney for the police for a number of officers has come forward and says he believes whatever occurred occurred inside that paddy wagon. there's a lot of questions about whether there was a so-called rough ride. does the officer that you are close to believe that there was any kind of a rough ride for freddie gray intentionally driving erratically to cause some injury? >> no. no he doesn't. he believes that the injuries were sustained outside the paddy wagon, that if they go back and look at the gps and everything that occurred as they were driving, they can see how fast the driver was going. they can see where the driver was and what route the driver took. >> it is known that the vehicle did pull over and that once it left the scene and freddie gray was later shackled. do

today was freddie gray's funeral. that is going to take second seat to the disruption that is going on right now. >> jayne, for those folks who are tuning in now and are unfamiliar with the geography of baltimore, we're looking at west baltimore right now. is that correct? >> are you looking at the -- >> northwest baltimore. it's about ten minutes from where the freddie gray incident started. >> and the funeral was nearby that. >> the funeral was on the other side of town. northeast baltimore. >> northeast versus northwest. >> i'm sorry, no. that's not correct. the funeral was -- i'm sorry. the funeral was -- i was thinking of the viewing. the viewing was in northeast baltimore. the funeral today was also in northwest baltimore. not far from the mall where you're seeing the service is now. >> we were talking to benjamin wallace. he was saying a lot of the kids involved in this protest would have been near the mall anyway at the close of school which was around 3:00. >> it's a big transit stop. so it's a normal flow. i

freddie may not have been, what he took, they the officer may have mistaken that freddie was that he was selling drugs. he may not have been selling drugs. it may have been a mistake. >> that is an interesting point actually. the constitutional rights are suspended in neighborhoods like the one where freddie was arrested by the police. it's not that there is probable cause under u.s. law just running from a police officer but there is in that neighborhood where freddie was arrested and eventually died. it's one of those issues that we've been looking at over the last week. freddie gray will be taken to a nearby cemetery to be buried. >> the latest from baltimore. thank you. >> the u.s. secretary general has join italy's prime minister and the e.u. foreign policy chief in italy on a tour of europe's response to the mediterranean migrant crisis. the three leaders will board a navy ship that will another 73 my my73 migrants were rescued and brought to italy's port. >>> many who die trying to cross the mediterranean are from africa, from somalia. young people interest believe their futur

she's covering the investigation of the death of freddy gray. jane, your reaction to tonight's report in "the washington post," which in effect is a leaked document of a police detective's account, which in effect says freddie gray did it to himself. i'm going to read it again to the audience here. the lead of "the washington post" article breaking within the hour is a prisoner sharing a police transport van with freddie gray told investigators that he could hear gray banging against the walls of the vehicle and believed that he was intentionally trying to injure himself according to a police document obtained by "the washington post." jane, your reaction? >> we reported previously, long before this, that by the time that stop is made to pick up that privileger, that according to or sources freddie gray was unresideble. >> just a second. you're saying freddie gray was first alone in the van -- >> no, no. >> how long was he alone in the van before the second prisoner gets in the van? >> he was alone in the van about 8:42 on the morning of april 1

it's not only about freddie gray, there are a lot of freddie grays everywhere in america and everybody's tired of it. we're tired of it. it's never going to be no justice. the system never was made to be justice for us. it was never made like that. so it's never going to be. if this is what takes for all y'all to be here this what it takes, this right here, strtfor the destruction of baltimore to happen don't act like baltimore is spanking brand-new. y'all took all of that. when we tried to y'all still wanted to take it away. it's only going to get worse. >> rev, i think you can hear -- thank you very much. thank you both. i think you can hear the passion. this is what we've been hearing all day, rev. people are very passionate and angry, but everyone was peaceful. as they were marching was, we love baltimore, we want peace. that was the chant all the crowd was doing as they got here. very passionate and angry, but a very peaceful gathering here at city hall. >> you're right, joy, i've heard that all over baltimore today. joy, stay with us. i want to bring in msnbc's trymaine lee. what d

not very far from where freddie gray was picked up.rom the western district chds why ma police van was headed. as you mentioned, this was just revealed today in the press conference that the police gave a short while ago in conjunction with turning over those findings to the state's attorney's office. this is a grocery store, owned by a korean family. we understand from a neighbor who knows the family that they don't speak english very well. and we also believe that we note the neighbor told us that this store was looted on monday night, which is when we believe the cameras, you can see the security cameras outside of that store. those wires have been cut. but we believe, of course, they were working, and that's how the police were able to get this video. but of course this is a new, this is a new piece of information. it doesn't lead us closer to knowing exactly what happened inside that van, but it's very interesting to learn there is a second stop. let me quickly go with you through what we knew before. we knew as of last week that

today they buried freddie gray. there have been calls for people not to protest on this day, the day of his funeral, same kind of calls we've seen in other stories like this. mr. gray's funeral began in the late morning. they buried him in baltimore. the church is near schools, near a large mall in northwest baltimore. when school let out today, this happened. local leaders on the ground today in baltimore say these clashes began when schools let out and school kids flooded onto the streets. whatever part of this might have been a peaceful protest, people also set cars on fire smashed a police cruiser looted stores hurled things at police who responded with rubber bulleting and hurling projectiles back at protesters. among the 15 officers injured, one was reported to be unconscious, nonresponsive. two officer we're told remain notice hospital tonight. the governor has declared a state of emergency and has activated the maryland national guard. the city curfew will be in effect for a week starting tomorrow at 10:00 i

this is not just about freddie gray. this is about a national problem.young woman named angela told me this is about police ignoring the cry for treating everyone equally. she said we want answers, and we want them now. there is a sense here that they're not getting answers. i know the process takes time, but they want answers from baltimore and they say nationwide they're seeing this happen. i did have an interesting conversation jake with a chief inspector of the philadelphia police here. joe sullivan. here's what he told me. he said protestors are citizens, not suspects. our job as police is to keep them safe while they exercise their first amendment rights. he is not worried about violence tonight. he said we have a history in this city of peaceful protest, that's what tonight is going to be. look around me people are voicing opinions but very peaceful and in terms of police presence they are very well equipped tonight to handle whatever happens, but thousands certainly expected, jake.

because we knew freddie gray. but we're all here because we know lots of freddie grays. amy: we will speak to reverend jesse jackson after headlines. not far from the upheavae, loretta lynch was sworn in as the nation's first african-american woman attorney general at a ceremony in washington, d.c. >> is a little girl from north carolina who used to tell her grandfather to f on the back of his mule so she could see way up high granddaddy, can grow up to become the chief law enforcement officer of the united states of america, we can do anything. amy: lynch released a statement on the situation in baltimore, vowing to -- "bring the full resources of the department of justice to bear in protecting those under threat, investigating wrongdoing, and securing an end to violence." the justice department is investigating freddie gray's death. the prime minister of nepal has warned the death toll from saturday's devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake could reach 10,000. the toll now stands at over 4,300 and is continuing to

you've seen in interviews you knew freddie gray. explain how you knew freddy and what was he like?e gray i knew him -- we weren't the best of friends or nothing like that. i knew him in passing. he'd say oh i got more girls than you or things like that. you know he was just a comedian funny. i don't know nothing about his criminal past or anything like that but you know he was just a fun loving person every time i came in counter with him. >> so when we hear information felicia about what's going on in baltimore right now and obviously life can imitate art that was "the wire." does it feel like the twilight zone of what you're watching on the news and tv about what's taking place with gray and police justice in baltimore? >> it just feel like a nightmare because i have a lot of family and friends in baltimore. you know like even though i'm not there just yet, i be there monday. i'll not just there yet. i'm hurt you know like -- today i was watching cnn. they said he did this to himself. how? look into my eyes how? you know how can he do that to himself? if this forehead or face or

freddy gray his mom might have beat him, too.no evidence to say beating my kid will stop him from being arrested or going to jail. what is difficult for me is what seems to be the ease that we have with black girl pain and violence and how it seems like entertainment, and this is what we loop over and over again, whether it's a beatdown in mcdonald's, right, or whether it's glamorous women beating each other up side the head with a bottle. you know what i mean? we are so comfortable with seeing black women violently expressing themselves desperate in whatever measure. so this image, over and over and over again, it plays into that troep of the angry black woman. we have to negotiate all the angles of it and look at the sassy black girl that got her son. it represents so much. >> so interesting. thank you so much. i appreciate you being here. i'll be right back. vo: today's the day. more and more people with type 2 diabetes are learning about long-acting levemir®. as my diabetes changed it got harder to control my blood sugar. tod

also saying they're going to fight for freddie gray. all night, all day, we will fight for freddie gray, things like that. freddie gray has become a very very passionate cause and it's been palpable on the streets of baltimore for the fourth night runninging. >> all right, thank you very much brian todd. we'll go back to brian as he gets more. as you can hear more and more people are gathering as rush hour finishes up there, blocking streets on the streets of baltimore again. now, what's interesting is that today the baltimore police officer union is strongly defending all six officers. they've been suspended from the force. the union said today that officers had the right to arrest freddie gray. they say that they were doing exactly the right thing when gray took off running with a knife on april 12th. joe johns is out front in baltimore. >> something happened in that van, we just don't know what. >> reporter: what exactly happened to 25-year-old freddie gray remains a mystery tonight, even after an attorney for the baltimore city poli

freddie gray would not want this. you can't allow him to die -- and violence does not beget violence. violence just brings more violence. it does not bring justice. and just stop. this is really sad. really extremely disappointing. especially since i've been on the ground and seeing all the positive work. i mean it's amazing to see so many children who felt so voiceless and so disenfranchised from the process all week you know, push and push and push and act in a very peaceful way of protesting, what they know the wrongs have been for decades. unfortunately, this is all we'll see the next couple of days. >> and councilman, i do understand when you see this because this is your home. this is your neighborhood. >> this is my community. i live five minutes away tr herefrom here. >> the sadness you're feeling as you look at those pictures and if you were down on that corner you understand there's the issue of trust, because you brought it up. it's trust of the police department. it's trust of the elected government. and t

you can see a balloon memorial over here to freddie gray posted at the spot where freddie gray was arrested and dragged into that van. within the hour the protesters are expected to gather here. and we're also told they may be gathering at local churches to converge on the west baltimore police precinct. and that's going to proceed down this way. the protests are going to proceed down here, we believe. that's what they've been doing over the last few days. the rain has let up. so maybe more of a gathering than we may have anticipated a few hours ago. five of the six officers suspended in this case have given statements to investigators we are told by baltimore police and we are expected to hear soon this hour from the lawyer for those officers who were suspended in the freddie gray case. so that hopefully will garner more information. five of the six officers involved in the case have given statements to police, we are told this afternoon, jake. >> and, brian, of course, there's a presumption of innocence. we still don't e know what the story is from the six police officers in question. and

it would have been directly over freddie gray's head. it would have recorded everything that took place. one of the things that people say one of the police dropped down on his neck with his knee. and from that point on, he was incapacitated. and later, they even took them back out of the van and shackled his legs and did something else to him and threw him back in the van. so as far as all of the witnesses can tell, and all of them report that he was already fatally injured when they put him in in the first place. that video that we saw with him dragging him to the van, he was on incapacitated. nermeen: eddie conway, has anyone given an exclamation for why that camera did not work that day? >> no one knows why the camera didn't work. everybody in the community says that camera has been used consistently over the years to lock people up. and used for evidence in drug arrests and other arrests. i guess i want to raise this issue, when is it a crime for a man to run somewhere? people run through out the city all the time. people are consta

i think it is more than just what happened to freddie gray. i think it is people are saying how come we are living in the richest country in the history of the world, our kids can't go to college, we don't have child care for our kids rkts, no jobs. i think that's significantly what it's about. >> senator, why are you running, doing this? >> i tell you why i'm doing it. this is my first day out there, and i'm feeling good about it. this country today, ed faces more crises than we have faced since the great depression and if you throw in climate change which the scientists are telling us is the major global crisis that we face, is probably worse off than the great depression. i don't see people talking about this issue. i don't see politicians working on this issue. and i think it's time that we address it. and getting back to your point. the only way that change takes place in my view is when millions of people stand up and say, enough is enough. and it's not just with police brutality. enough is enough when the great middle class of this coun

today they buried freddie gray. there had been calls for people not to protest on this day that they have his funeral. same kind of calls that we've seen in other case like this. mr. gray's funeral began this morning. they buried him near schools, near a mall. when school let out today, this happened. local leaders say these clashes began when school let out and school kids flooded out onto the streets. whatever part of this may have been a peaceful protest they set cars on fire hurled things at police who responded with rubber bullets and hurling projectiles at protesters who threw them in the first place. among the 15 officers reported to be injured one was the unconscious, nonresponsive. two remain in the hospital tonight. the governor has declared a state of emergency and has activated the maryland national guard. the city curfew in baltimore will be in effect for a week starting tomorrow at 10:00 in the evening. the schools will be closed in baltimore tomorrow. and even as the looting continued until late tonig

you knew freddie? >> yes. >> reporter: what was freddie gray like? >> i haven't seen him for a few years. i went to middle school with him. he wasn't really into the streets. he was a good person. he didn't deserve to die. >> reporter: it would shock a lot of people to hear about crips is and bloods working against people for peace. that goes against what a lot of people think of. >> well crips and bloods despite the history we have committing violence there's always a story to that. always. doesn't matter what gang we're with. you can be a civilian on the street and commit an act to another individual. we made the wrong decision in deciding to join a gang but honestly, certain people like me, for example, at the time we joined these gang, we didn't have families and they were our only family. i ask america not to judge us for who we are. just know that everything we do right here everything we do is not always a bad thing. >> reporter: all right. that's nico caldwell, a blood, a lifetime baltimoreian. he said the bloods and crips are working togethe

. >> all of this follows the funeral for freddie gray. he's the young man from baltimore who died just over a week ago about a week after he was arrested and was in police custody. >> we have team coverage now of all that's been going on up there for quite a long time. we begin with tisha thompson. with a report on the very latest developments up there in baltimore. >> jim, that's right. we have been here since this began and wanting to start with new video of mondawmin mall. video from the ground. this is what it looked like we of course have been showing folks video from helicopt this is the first you are getting from the actual street level. >> this was recorded earlier. this was the initial area the genesis at mondawmin mall where the social media and the fliers said start here and move towards city hall. this is where all that video we were seeing from 3:00 coming here and from a chopper and now seeing it at eye level down on the ground. >> you can see quite a few police officers. we want to let you know that there are at least 30 po

this didn't start with freddie gray. if you look at the arrest record in baltimore, you can see it's been going on for a long time. in fact, the police department paid $5 million just a few months back to settle lawsuits in over 60 different cases where they were found to have violated the rights of individuals. so, it's a real frustration. it is unfortunate that the ugly part of it is showing its head and we're just calling on men throughout the community to come out, like i'm out, and like others are out tonight, go into the crowds talk to these young men, as a way that only a man can talk to another man, and to stand there and try to find a way to tell them that this is not the way to do it. if there's a better way, at the end of the day, if we don't get justice for freddie gray we would have failed. >> what do you think we're going to get here? are we going to get a report from the police that's going to tell us how a guy gets his spinal cord broken during police custody? i mean there can't be any good reason for tha

he delivered a eulogy at freddie gray's funeral today. jamal bryant tell us about that funeral today and how much time lapsed between the end of the funeral and when this activity broke out this afternoon? >> the funeral really was a heartwarming moment for the family. gave them a peace and solace and prayerfully some closure. we were actually en route back from the cemetery when getting the news of the uprising taking place across baltimore. it was disturbing and disenchanting considering we called for a day of no marching and no protesting. to be met with this news is painful and regrettable. it gives a black eye to the legacy of what we've been doing over the last seven days. >> you said hours ago from the scene there in the street that you were going to help activate people from your churches, from other churches, men to go out there into the streets and help bring calm to those streets. how has that been working so far? >> it's been moving. yesterday, what the news did not cover is the blood and krips gangs signed a peace treaty. i e

violence, saying this is not what freddie would have wanted. this has been a tough day. this is where our coverage began, right here in the sanctuary for the funeral, and then the protest began. it begins at 3:00, just as high school lets out. young people who had been threatening on social media head to the mall. the police who have been tipped off were there in force. just blocks away covering the funeral of freddie gray, we arrive on the scene quickly and report the violence. man in the blue hoodie. he just threw a full paint can. hundreds of police hold their ground as they are pelted with rocks and chunks of concrete. the situation grows more violent. cars are set on fire, rioters ignore pleas from their own neighbors to stop. >> you need to stop. >> we want justice! brad: there was a very large bang. there is a police officer right here, choking and gagging on pepper's brave. eventually, the rock throwers go elsewhere in the police go to had them all. that leaves the original target the mall unprotected, and hundreds of looters swoop in.

what he he said is he heard freddie thrashing about. the driver didn't drive erratically and wasn't slamming on the brakes or turning corners in a irrational way. and the lawyer for the officers said five of the six involved in freddie gray's arrest gave statements on the same day of the incident as it happened. when will you know the officers' side of the story? >> you know it really -- we've heard there will be transparency we've heard that the investigation is -- tear going to try to wrap up the investigation by may 1st and turn it over to the state attorney's office now the justice department is involved. i don't know if they will release those statements or treat those statements as this point personnel or release it to the are on when the statements get released. so i don't know the answer to that question. i wish that i did. i wish i knew what the officer statements were now. i do know what was written by one of the officers who arrested freddy gray and it's a sworn statement that is supposed to indicate the probable cause and th

freddie's body is lirp. a witness yells to officers he can't support himself. >> you're dragging him. >> but the mayor and police site this frame of video claiming gray was using his legs when he got in the van saying when he got in he was able bodied able to talk. >> none of the officers describe using any force against mr. gray. >> witnesses say they saw something rougher. >> they flipped him over and put both knees on his back and held him there until the cruiser came to pick him up. >> later when gray was taken out of the van, less an an hour after he got in he couldn't breathe or talk. he lapse into a coma and died a week later of a severe spinal cord injury. the critical questions remaining tonight, what caused his injury and what happened inside the police van. police say gray asked for an inhaler about the same time he got in the van at 8:42 a.m. on april 12th less than four minutes later the van stopped. the van operator says gray was irate. he was placed in leg irons. it's one of at least two stops

for all we know -- >> i agree. >> freddie may have been beaten by police, freddie may have got nn a bikeident. >> the police aren't claiming he got in a bike accident. >> to be clear, he was running down the street. he was completely fine before the altercation with the police. we do know it happened post arrest in police custody. >> but we don't know if it with us a violation of use of force rules. >> right. >> i don't know that. it could have been. may not be. we don't know that the police chased him and beat him into a fractured spine either. >> i never said that. what i said is that first of all i'm rejecting the police claim that there's no evidence that anything violent happened prior to entering the van. that's absurd on its face because he could run before and he could no longer run. i'm saying also it's unlikely that it happened in the van because his injuries seemed to have been sustained before he got in the van based on our own eyes. >> mark you saw none of this with your own eyes. i don't know what you're talking about. you didn't see any of this. you're purely speculating.

but first, new details about the arrest of freddie gray. it's thursday april 30th and this is "now." >>> major marches are set to begin at any moment in baltimore. the demonstrations come just hours after baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings-blake sounded defiant at the national action network. >> i know we have problems. and i was determined to fix them. we will get justice for freddie gray, believe you me we will give you justice. we're going to work together because if with the nation watching, three black women at three different levels can't get justice and healing for this community, you tell me where we're going to get it in our country. >> shortly before that the baltimore police announced they have completed their initial investigation into the death of freddie gray who 25-year-old baltimore man suffered fatal injuries in police custody earlier this month. >> this does not mean that the investigation is over. if new evidence is found, we will follow it. if new direction is given by the state's attorney's we will obey it and follow th

what happened to freddie gray? how does he get his spinal cord severed between the time the police picked him up and the time they took him to the hospital? nobody has answers. the six police in the van with him have been suspended. we've never heard from them. we don't know what happened. the mayor police commissioner said have patience, wait for us to come to the end of our investigation. they set a time, this coming friday, to give us somewhat of an update as to where the investigation was. obviously there were those who couldn't wait till friday. there were reports of texts and tweets and memes going out today in high schools all around baltimore letting kids know that this was the time at 3 p.m. it was going to jump off that something very bad was going to happen. did the police see it coming? we don't know that. >> pack a and mulberry is getting closer to downtown baltimore. that's the area where bruce johnson told us police are trying to set up another perimeter. bruce, do you know anything new since we've t

that man's name is freddie gray. what police have not been able to do is explain what happened while freddie gray was in the van that cautioned hid spine to do from apparently fine to apparently severed and led to his death. six police officers have been on what they're calling administrative leave which means leave with pay as the investigate. but the slowness of the investigation and the lack of information from the baltimore police department has left -- led to scenes like this. everything was initially very peaceful. there were a couple of day if not three days, of very peaceful protest. that changed beginning at least on saturday, if not the day before but saturday night escalated into violence, and during that time, the family eventually came forward and said look, please, please make this a nonviolent thing. but according to the reporting locally there in baltimore and you can see the police doing some spraying here, trying to keep the crowds back. you can see the people in the police's face and this officer h

new details and troubling new questions about the ride of fatally injured freddie gray took in a baltimore police van. also tonight an american team pulls off a miracle in nepal. >> reporter: he is finally free 120 hours after this earthquake. >> pelley: the judge who threw the book at three educators caught cheating cuts them a break. and the kentucky derby. for this jockey, it's a race against time. >> everybody is like, "are you nuts?" captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: this evening, crowds are gathering in baltimore for more protests against the death of freddie gray in police custody. a march is also under way in philadelphia this evening. late today baltimore police gave the results of their investigation to prosecutors but did not make the details public. so we still don't know how gray suffered his fatal spine injuries. but the police did reveal surprising new evidence in gray's arrest and his ride in a police van. jeff pegues is in baltimore tonight. jeff. >> reporter: scott, police here turned over their report to the state's

we will get justice for freddie gray. believe you me, we will get justice. we're going to do it because we're going to work together. with the nation watching three black women at three different levels can't get justice and healing for this community, you tell me where we're going to get it in our country. so i want to thank the department of justice for coming here today. community relations service, independent. i can't remember what you told me but i know you don't prosecute and you don't do something else but what you do is stand in the middle and make sure the process is right and the communities are able to heal while we seek justice. i want to thank you for being here. they're going to discuss at some point some training of community marshals. what we saw in baltimore were people standing up against the rioters, against the people who were looting and stealing. those people i want to thank and those people we want to make sure they get more resources. i want to thank the department of justice for doing that. i want to thank you for your indulgence. i

this is not just about freddie gray at this point. this is about economics. 2/3 you go to baltimore, it's like north philadelphia. it's one of the cities that has not come back like new york or some of these other places, washington, d.c. is another one. we have a big economic problem in this country. and a lot of it has to do with race. and we are not doing a good job in our inner city schools. and that's the pass out. so we still have a lot of stuff to discuss that is an echo of 196. and we ought to be using this to discuss that and get something done. and i hope it isn't just papered over with an autopsy report and all this stuff. it's not just about freddie gray. >> first thing we need is the autopsy. >>> still ahead, the pastor who helped fund and develop that senior citizen center that was burned down on monday night. what he thinks what has been happening. he'll be with us in just a minute. >>> and we're awaiting a news conference by baltimore police coming out in just a few moments that will be interesting when they tell us th
