today, they include jerry nunes on the left and sean stark on the right. arrested within hours of each other, they had been connected to a shoot out with police twro da -- two days earlier. >> investigators are trying to figure out what prompted a man to shoot at police. man was walking with a gun and opened fire on a cop car. it caused another patrol car to reram the first car. both officers jumped out. they chase -- the gunman has been identified as robert leonar leonardoes. he's in the hospital in critical condition. >> he received a total of 14 bullet wounds. he's been charged with several crimes, the most serious being three counts of attempted murder. >> face the camera right here. don't move. >> he was not arrested for any direct involvement in the shooting. but because he owned the unregistered handgun that was used to shoot at police. he says leonardoes is a good friend and had taken the weapon without him knowing it. >> he had came over my house and we were hanging out that night and he had this thought he wanted to kill himself and take his own

stark warning that the national security adviser to the president. united states could be compromised by the russians. >> and that's -- and sean spicer keeps calling it>> and -- right. >> first of all that, seems -- and gloria makes the point. that seems more than a heads up. again, this is the acting attorney general, and the information she's passing along is not, hey, mike flynn hasn't paid five parking tickets, number one. number two, the time line, dana mentioned this. the time line is so important. january 26th is when mcginn and yates have the first meeting, 27th is when they have the second meeting. zane in the briefing today used retroactive fact that on the 30th she, sally yates, refused to enforce the travel ban as evidence that she was a political opponent. don mcgann could not have known that on the 26th. donald trump didn't sign the executive order on travel ban until the 27th, so there's just a little bit of an odd time line. >> the question is did she come back because she hadn't fully explained things, or did she come back, as she seemed to indicate in her testimony, that -- that don mcgann went to everybody at the white house, and t
