our david mattingly is covering the case in pensacola for us tonight along with rob williams, a news anchor for wmrp news radio in pensacola. in new york, jamie floyd, anchor of "in session." we heard police this was a murder that unfolded and the police chiefs word, like a movie script. today they provided surveillance video. walk us through what that is. >> we've got two pieces of surveillance video to show you. first of all, this came from the family's house. this was part of the surveillance system they had set up outside and inside the house. see men running across the yard, going into what is a back door of the house. while they were doing that, there was another team going in the front door. see how they're dressed. dressed in dark clothes. their faces covered with a mask. the slst described them as dressed like ninjas. see them there going into the house. this was all very precise. they say it looks like they had practiced this and were very well-prepared when they attacked this house. another piece of surveillance video we have to show you is a still photo that came from a s

she's in pensacola for us along with rob williams who has been covering this from the beginning with down in pensacola, as well. rob, let me start with you and have you bring us up to date on the latest information. at least seven people now, an organized gang, their ages ranging from 56 to 16 years old. police saying robbery was the motive or at least one of the motives. but it feels like there's other stuff going on that we still don't know yet. what can you tell us? >> campbell, i think that's a really good point there. you notice yesterday we talked about the f bifbi, the dea, all on this and the news briefing at noon he said this is going to go to other states and other countries. so we've just maybe turned over the first few rocks in this whole series, or as the sheriff told me earlier today, this is more like a cecil mill production. it's an epic struggle, but the state attorney says that this matter is concluded. so they're happy they have at least this part of the case already solved. >> well, rob, yesterday police said the suspects had no connection to the buildings, but the

against each other to obtain more information related to that crime and others. >> let's bring in rob williamsg host, news 20. rob was in that press conference we just had a chance to listen to. rob, one of the questions is we were all wondering if there were going to be more arrests to come. we think maybe this person who didn't show up to disable the surveillance cameras. what do we know about that? could there be a ninth, tenth arrest, rob? >> i think that's a pretty safe assumption, mike. i'm going to tell you why. we broke that story this morning on news radio 1620, my station. i've interviewed sheriff morgan every day this week. and he said, you know, there's still about three more persons of interest. i said one of those the person who was supposed to disable the video, the security system? he said absolutely. that is somebody in on the planning, he pointed out. that's somebody who can -- should be arrested and will face charges. it's just a matter of, shall we say, making sure they have all their ducks in a row. or i think the sheriff just quoted about beanie babies and bubble gum. so
