. >> greg larose, thank you for joining us.t to turn over to the former mayor of new orleans and the president of the national urban league, what is your reaction to the fact that the fbi said they don't believe the suspect was solely responsible for the attack and reporting from nbc news has said that may not be clear whether or not there are people on the ground, there seems to be a lot of uncertainty still in this investigation. >> this is why we need to not jump to immediate conclusions and allow this investigation to continue, in the case of luigi mangione, enforcement had a sense of who he was fairly soon after the incident occurred but wanted to make sure they apprehended him and not tip their hat prematurely, and the same thing in this case, there are pieces of evidence out there that were reported on your channel and on other channels that several other people were seen planting suspicious packages and devices around the french quarter at about the same time that this heinous act took place on bourbon street, so this h

. >> greg larose, thank you very much for taking the time and sharing what t you are learning in your reporting this morning. we appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >> let me go back to jim cavanaugh. one point of information he shared about the bollards there in louisiana in bourbon street. he says they are devices that can go up and down, the barriers there. these particular barriers were lowered during this time because of ongoing construction work. there was a portable police barricade that had been put up in that area. that obviously speaks to someone that may have known this was an area of vulnerability? >> it is a gross failure. when the commanders set up security if you don't have one method, you are the lieutenant in charge to protect us against vehicle attacks, you're the luteiant in charge to protect against bomb attacks, you have to talk to atf. someone has to own it so that when the event is set up, the lieutenant in charge of vehicle attacks says, hey, we don't have obstruction on the east end of bourbon street and he has to be responsible. what no one is responsible and t
