wbal 11 up there, the chopper pilot said they watched the kids come out and then go home. in this case they made their way up a very prominent street there. they went into a 7-eleven. we're not totally sure what happened there but there are reports of broken windows. we don't know if looting has occurred. i have seen some through social media reports of a school resource officer's windows broken in his automobile. they then made their way down rister town road. a very big road and what you take to go north-south through the city and of course you can tell that road is shut down and they got to the intersection of gwen falls and people from this area only going to baltimore as tourists it is right near the maryland zoo. it's in the druid hill area. a lot of people know dru hill. this is where they're from. very well-known part of town. >> and a lot of tv stations are around there, too. tv hill up there, too. >> right. a little further up the road. a lot of people are familiar with interstate 83 or the jfk. this is along that main drag. it's before tv hill which, of course g

. >> joining us now by phone is jane miller investigative reporter for wbal in baltimore. she has been covering the investigation of freddie grays death. also jamal bryant. 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 tha

according to wbal the local station. but what we just saw was a small group of young men who are walking toward this. they know what's happening. they want to see what's going on. not saying they want to get involved, but it's for a young kid. i want to see what's happening. if i was that age, i would want to be checking it out myself. but you can't tell who's demonstrator and who's agitator. >> unless you're walking in and out of the cvs without paying for items. >> reporter: exactly. >> what were they saying again, that you can remember that last group? >> reporter: no justice, no peace. before they saw us they were chanting it. so it wasn't like they were just doing it for the cameras. they were saying no justice no peace. they were smiling, having a good time. kind of let's go have some fun kind of thing. not realizing this this could turn ugly very quickly if either side or the other decides to push it a little too far. and young kids like that could get caught in the middle of it. billy murphy the family attorney w

investigative reporter from wbal, jane miller with us here on the ed show. bring in trymaine lee joining us live from baltimore. trymaine this story that's developing now about what may or may not have happened in the back of the van, this has to be spreading through the community. what kind of reaction are you hearing? >> reporter: oh, certainly one part is disbelief. people from the very beginning didn't believe that freddie gray in any way caused his own injuries. many say they believe the police are kind of trying to see the ground and they expect that. but one thing i heard over and over again, freddie gray never should have been in police custody in the first place. they wonder why he was detained in the first place, being that from the report they said initially made eye contact and he ran off. so that's a problem for many people out here who are saying that the police routinely stop black people and young black men in particular for petty offenses. said we don't know all the facts, but we do know freddie gray is dead and he shouldn't be. >> you had t

this is from wbal. seems to be a separate car. another car on fire here and the images just continue to come in on our feeds and they are heart breaking on such a tragic and sad day to begin with. >> we have written one officer unresponsive. again, the police did report out that all seven of the injured officers are getting treatment now. this is a map to show you. see where it says mondawmin mall? that's where this started near the gwynne falls parkway. tisha, you actually lived in the city. what do you have for us? >> i have two pieces of information. one, you know people really do care about baseball. so the -- we have more information on what's happening with baseball. comcast sports networks o's insider says that the gates are closed and the fans are in the stands. they're doing batting practice and the commissioner is there. he's on his regularly scheduled tour of the major league ballpark ballparks. we don't want to diminish how serious of a situation this is live as you can see. that right there the north avenue area and w

we're joined right now by wbal, a reporter who broke that story, jane millard. jane, tell us about what you've been reporting today and i'll ask you about the rest later. >> reporter: chris, first of all, we have been reporting for about -- for two weeks, since this incident happened and mr. gray died that all of the focus in this case and all of the focus in the investigation has been on what happened inside the wagon and not during that highly publicized vapid initial arrest. and, yes, what we have reported from the autopsy is that mr. gray suffered this very severe spinal and neck injury because of hitting something inside the van. there is no other injury to suggest that he did it on his own, that he was banging his head against the van wall because the injury is so catastrophic, it is really the kind of injury that is suffered in a car accident. in addition to that we have reported that have at the time that mr. -- the second prisoner was loaded into the wagon, mr. gray was unresponsive, that is according to sources familiar with the investigation. today we

wbal also points out gray was unresponsive when he was put in the van. in response to the report gray's family the family attorney said "we disagree with any implication that freddie gray severed his own spinal cord" and "we question the accuracy of police reports we've seen thus far." melissa? >> all right, aaron. >>> right now we're learning new information about a montgomery county mother charged in the disappearance of her own children. she appeared in front of the judge for the first time since november. records from perkins hospital center reveal she is still mentally incompetent but her condition is improving, they say. her children sara and jacob, have been missing since september. she's charged with misdemeanor child neglect. investigators want to pursue a homicide case against her. coming up at 11:30, chris gordon explains what it will take for hagel to go to trial. >>> i'm tracking showers in st. mary's county through the northern neck. also a little bit of activity around the loret area. and more rain in the panhandle of west virginia and far

reporting for wbal. thank you.rector of law enforcement against prohibition, a nonprofit that seeks to end the war on drugs. what questions do you have after finding out today that there was this second stop in between when gray was arrested and taken to the hospital? >> thomas, i have a few. number one is again, the autopsy which has not been released yet. at least as far as i know. i don't think from my experience that he injured himself initially -- at least that the initial injury occurred on his own while in that van. you know, i feel like we're ignoring his condition, when he was first placed in the van. to me his legs are not properly. the condition of his neck and location of his head, i still think we need to strongly consider that, but i'm not hearing much conversation about it. the leaked report from the police department alleged three the "washington post," you know of what the other person in the van is reporting. i think we need to take a very good look at how that interview of conducted. were there l

our affiliate wbal has their chopper on the way to the scene. we'll bring you new pictures and details as they come in. this is a still photo of the scene. of course obviously great concern in inthis neighborhood that one adult and seven children have been found dead in a house in princess anne. more information as we get it. >>> the fraternity at the center of the "rolling stone" magazine retracted gang-rape story is threat ang lawsuit. >> just part of the fallout after the nation's leading journalism school looked into what went wrong at "rolling stone." edward lawrence reports. >> reporter: the headline rocked the feeling of security for women at universities across the country. "rolling stone" published an article describing a 2012 gang-rape of a student named jackie at a university of virginia fraternity. after serious doubts about the story emerged, "rolling stone" asked columbia university school of journalism to find out what went wrong. it found a story of journalistic failure that was avoidable. >> it was the collective fault of the re

let's listen in to our affiliate in baltimore, wbal, with their coverage. >> the riot -- i'm sorry. okay go ahead. >> that's bryant avenue just off north monroe street barry. just got a call from baltimore county pd. they're heading into baltimore city to assist the baltimore city police department with crowd control and what have you. >> i want to go over to ben wallace. you're a resident of baltimore. you write about this town. you've been writing about this. the latest goings on in the aftermath of freddie gray's death at the hands of while in police custody. you can already hear the division. their assessment of these groups of juveniles in the streets. whether or not this is a situation, if you will, with people taking to the streets and posing great risk. a group of kids who were let out of school and probably should have been better prepared. but seeming to underplay whether or not this is a real face-off between community and police. anne you know you know, from the activist community, have you heard or seen -- have you heard tell of them in the days since freddie gray died?

according to our affiliate, wbal the union lawyer representing the officers say he believes he was not secured in the police van after his arrest. the police commissioner also answered questions about why it took more than 40 mints for officers to call an balance after gray requested medical lep. . >> when you have someone in your custody and they complain and say they want medical care, let's get them medical care. we're not doctors or professionals. i was told they had intentions to take him to the hospital but at that time, i expect them to get a paramedic there. >> police say they are also interviewing the second person who was inside the police van with gray. officials say they consider him a witness and are protecting the integrity of the investigation. >> let's turn to boston. an emotional day against dzhokhar dzhokhar tsarnaev. victiming recount what they lost and how they still suffer from it two years later. pete williams has the report. fair warning. it includes images shown in court of an offensive gesture. >> the jury heard an emotional account from a victim near her husba

in an organized social media campaign based on reports of wbal. jane miller there was saying that her police sources telling her that the word had gone out at 3:00 high school students were going to meet at the mall and it is now resulted in a very significant fire and a very well-known part of town. >> i just want to say what so many of us are feeling. it is heart breaking this watch this. we all watched what happened in ferguson missouri. we all saw the violence and property destruction unfolding after what happened there. we all hoped that there would be changes after that. and i don't think we imagined it would happen in our area. here we are on the day of the funeral for freddie gray watching. it is just heart breaking to see this happening so close to home. >> and it is important to note though that the funeral for freddie gray was held some five or six blocks away from where all of the disruption took place. and the people who were in the funeral, the people who were there to honor the memory of freddie gray including one of the ministers w

but as we mentioned earlier, wbal's jane miller spoke with the second prisoner in the van, and he told her something different. >> when i got in the van, i didn't hear nothing. it was a smooth ride. we went straight to the police station. all i heard was like a little banging for like four seconds. you know what i mean? i just heard little banging, you know, just little -- you know what i mean? boom, boom just little banging. just little banging. >> joining me now is baltimore city councilman nick mosby, who represents freddie gray's neighborhood. thank you for being here councilman. >> thanks for having me on reverend. >> the second man in the van, councilman saying he just heard a little bit of noise. what's your reaction? >> it's interesting. i mean i think it's different than what we've heard before. and it's concerning. i mean i think the biggest thing that came out today was, i think the police talked about, there was an additional stop that the only reason that they knew about it was from a private cell phone camera. that's the type of stuff that folks want to know about and hea

scene here, these live pictures coming in from news chopper -- helicopter that's being provided by wbal there in baltimore. the police seem to have congregated there inside that intersection and they do seem to now be on the move. however, they have not shut off traffic. we're still seeing some traffic traversing in almost every direction there on those roads. we also notice that the crowd has not been and even according to the police have not been obeying the police orders to disperse from that area. so it doesn't appear to be clear as of yet. police officers have actually tried to accomplish. horace: the concern that i have, we saw some of the pictures from the choppers those areas outside the main roads, a major road that runs around mondawmin mall. again, the neighborhoods behind we saw a group of police officers kind of get caught back there before that armored vehicle is able to come and kind of rescue them and they were losing. they were in retreat. and they were taking a lot of hits from those rocks and projectiles that the demonstrators were throwing. they looked like they've g

you can see we're looking at live aerials from wbal where there's still some chaotic scenes going on with people gathering together. not sure exactly what's going to happen with that group that is organized right there. i had an opportunity to hang out with a group of citizens spending their time today cleaning up. this was after a night full of violence and looting. now it's questioning the motives of the protestors. >> i understand why they're here what they're doing, but why can't it be peaceful and get your word out there? now everything you was fighting for, it's not going to make no difference not going to make no sense. >> meanwhile, moments ago the president in a joint news conference with the japanese prime minister addressed the situation here. >> when individuals get crowbars and star prying open doors to loot, they're not protesting. they're not making a statement. they're stealing. >> they are stealing. that's what the president said. let's walk you through the latest developments about an hour ago. the maryland governor larry hogan spoke to the media reassuring the publ

tish do you have any idea to what they may be e've heard reports, wbal channel 11 up in baltimore our sister station heard reports they might be moving south towards martin luther king but it's hard to tell why they are going. that's why they took the preventative measures. there's a good map. that gives you and idea. they are moving south below that yellow section on the bottom. they began at the mondawmin mall by the zoo and then they walked ten blocks south. the >> governor larry hogan has declared a state of emergency and activating the national guard. >> that's a very significant event to activate the national guard. we were there last week. we were interviewing linda singh. she was put in that position in january. she's the first woman and first african-american agitant general. she lives in prince george's county and her headquarters are just down the street why where all of this is happening, some people may be familiar with maryland health department complex in the city. they may have to do business up there. she's right across the street in a very large castle looking buildi

. >> wbal reporter joining us on this. do we have the time line of the investigation. they initially say this happened without incident. >> we don't have all the facts from the police department. rer reporting thomas according to sources there were additional stops of the police van addition to ones the police department divulged. that can be a critical part of this investigation. let me tell you where we stand now. an autopsy is underway to determine the cause and manner of death in the death of freddieifreddie gray. that will be a crucial part. it's not going to be quick. death in custody cases, those autopsies can take up to 90 days to complete. not only do they look at the injury, they have to look at his medical history and look at the rest of the case. what do witnesses say, police officers say if they've given statements. we are not going to get a quick answer, most likely not a quick answer, on cause and manner of death. again, that's a very crucial part of this investigation. >> jane miller from our affiliate in baltimore, wbal. thank you. >>> joining us now t

. >> there was a witness that spoke to our station in baltimore, wbal saying after leg shackles wereter wards the leg shackles. was he thrown with excessive force? do you know how that all took place? >> well from the entire thing andrea, the position that i'm taking is that i'm not taking anything for granted whatsoever. what we have done with the officers is have taken their statements with exception of one. we have what we call married them to their statements to they don't get to change those. we have gone back and talked to all witnesses, including the one you mentioned. we do have conflicting stories. we're walking back doing measurements from a scientific standpoint. officers say they did not use excessive force. we're going back validating those statements seeing if there's inconsistencies and seeing if we're not told the truth. we're following up with witnesses. >> you mentioned all but one. why was that officer not interviewed? has he lawyered up? >> yes, much like any citizen in any circumstance has the right to remain silent. you hear that on tv shows often. you have to g

time line released by the baltimore police department, and there's been reporting released by us that wbal tv that filled in some of the timeline. we have an idea of when the van stopped, where it stopped. we have witness accounts of what may have happened at a second stop, which may be critical to the story. we have a witness who says that when the van stopped the second time so he was taken out of the van so the shackles could be applied to his legs, the police officer threw him back in the van. did that cause the injury? perhaps. because he was shackled and handcuffs, did he fall down and that caused the injury? so far the information has been provided about the autopsy shows that very severe spinal cord injury high in the neck area, but it does not -- it shows no other bodily injury. so there has been some information out, obviously, the key question is what happened to him and how did it happen? i'm not sure we're going to clearly know. >> jayne miller, thank you. >>> joining me now paul butler. former prosecutor with the u.s. federal justice. i feel like there's a kind of pattern, rh

basically the extent of what we have and combine that with jane miller's incredible reporting for wbal and reporters working the story, but in terms of public presentations of an account, that's part of what makes this case so frustrating for so many people. >> it's hard to say -- all these cases are very different. the walter scott case, that evidence was pretty damning so they had to jump in front of it. also coming off ferguson where people were saying the leadership bungled every step of the way. every moment that could have happened, they hurt the situation. here, we're in funny territory. if you listen to the police spokesman, he's doing a pretty good job of giving information in the sense of, we're trying to work with you, he gives a good face to the department, but still we don't know anything -- much more than we knew two weeks ago and that's troubling for folks, obviously. >> and joy, what you said is troubling in the sense that -- again, i understand that you can understand wanting to maintain the integrity of the investigation and being constrained by what state law says yo

separated by a partition and investigative reporter jayne miller with nbc's affiliate in baltimore wbal told our own lawrence o'donnell that the prisoner in question had previously reported the ride was calm and was only in the van with gray for a couple of minutes. >> we have reported that at that stop where the other prisoner gets on board, which is the fourth stop that freddie gray was unresponsive. i am aware of the report i've been aware of that information for some time but the timeline and the evidence and the information that we have developed in this story does not match. >> it was widely anticipated the police would make the results of their investigation public tomorrow but now they say they will hand it over to a state's attorney and won't publish it in order to protect the investigation's integrity. local leaders are trying to make sure people understand what's happening so frustration doesn't boil over once again. >> i've spent most of the morning going to high schools because there's a rumor going through high schools that somehow or another there's a verdict on friday. a

the city police commissioner spoke to affiliate wbal. >> our officers and task force are interviewingnterviewing witnesses at the same time. that just takes time. >> department of justice just launched a civil rights investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death. joining me from baltimore jeff johnson a communication specialist who helped the city of cleveland as they worked with the department of justice. good to see you, my friend. what are you hearing on ground from protesters about the investigation so far? >> i think folks all over the city of baltimore are frustrated because they don't feel they've gotten enough answers and frustrated because i don't think everyone on the ground here is clear on who's leading the investigation. there's an investigation by the city itself and investigation by the state's attorney now they are hearing there's going to be an investigation by the federal government. i think folks on the ground are frustrated because they haven't gotten clear answers about what happened to broermg gray in between the time he was taken into custody and ti

. >> reporter: i've been keeping an eye on videos and tweets and our sister station wbal nbc station in baltimore. here's video of what happened overnight. some of what we have been talking about. you see massive fires burning in the night sky. here's what we've gathered in the past hour. national guard and local police remain on the streets there in riot gear. there are still some fires burning but some of the residents are coming out to help with the cleanup. national guard has been called up along with 5,000 police officers. the protesters and rioting involved mostly young people. started yesterday afternoon following the funeral of freddie gray who died in police custody. now the police commissioner of baltimore is calling on parents and the community to talk some sense into those committing these acts of violence. >> one scene you had one mother who grabbed their child who had a hood on his head and she started smacking him on the head because she was so embarrassed. i wish i had more parents who took charge of their kids. >> the freddie gray situation was the straw that broke t

death of freddie gray appears to be focusing on the police transport van and reporter jane miller from wbal in baltimore, sources tell her the report turned over to prosecutors say whatever lapped to freddie gray happened inside the van and not during the arrest. we're just fold a second stop was made about a mile away and police just discovered it on surveillance cameras and say they don't know why the van stopped. from there, the van made a third stop and the driver asked an officer to check on gray. then a final stop was made to pick up dante allen at the same enter section where the cvs was set on fire this week. dante allen spoke today for the first time to jane miller said he was put in the van on the opposite side of gray with a solid divider between them so they couldn't see each other. allen said he didn't know anyone was in the van at the time. this is what he said about the ride to the police station. >> when i got in the van i didn't hear nothing. it was a smooth ride. we went straight to the police station. all i heard was like a little banging for like four seconds. i just hea

joining us now is jane miller investigative reporter for nbc affiliate wbal in baltimore.stigation from the start. jane, what is the latest tonight? >> well lawrence first of all, the protests we had more protests today. probably not quite as many people today as in previous days. but they were scattered around the city. but tonight, all is quiet. we've had very orderly -- you know, a few scuffles here and there with police but certainly mostly just very organized, strong message from the organizers. there's been the demonstrators. all is quiet tonight. the investigation goes on and, you know there are little bits and pieces that are, you know developing. but this is an ongoing criminal investigation of what happened to freddie gray while he was in custody on april 12th. he, of course, died a week later. >> did you know the police have -- and jane has been making the point about this this is so unusual, a may 1st deadline for them to kind of go public with a report or some presentation of some kind about what they think happened here. so, you know end of next week. >> yeah

you can see we're looking at live aerials from wbal where there's still some chaotic scenes going on with people gathering together. not sure exactly what's going to happen with that group that is organized right there. i had an opportunity to hang out with a group of citizens spending their time today cleaning up. this was after a night full of violence and looting. now it's questioning the motives of the protestors. >> i understand why they're here what they're doing, but why can't it be peaceful and get

before i came to cnn, i worked as an anchor for wbal-tv.w op-ed for cnn.com i write this there's something about baltimore that gets under your skin. i will wait and hope and pray that baltimore's better nature will win the day and i hope what's happening here will be the tipping point for the nation. maybe because of this, this frustrateing moment we'll finally realize that the rioting is not just about police brutality but hopelessness. hopelessness does not excuse violent behavior but helps explain why things happen. joining me to talk about this cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor sunny hostin and donnie glover, author living in baltimore for nearly 50 years. welcome to both of you. thank you for being here. >> donnie i want to talk about the hopelessness some in this city feel living in these poverty stricken neighborhoods. explain why that hopelessness might erupt into violent behavior. >> i think the politicians have neglected baltimore's east and west side for decades. i'm 50. i remember when northern patterson park -- i

the top story tonight, reaction, joining us from baltimore clarence mitchell radio talk show host on wbalreverend jamal bryant who gave the eulogy on freddie gray on monday which started all of the problems in baltimore. reverend, going to begin with you. i want to be fair. >> yes please. >> i want to be fair. so i want to walk through it with you. mr. gray should never have died the way he died. you agree with that, correct? i agree he shouldn't have died at all. >> okay. we don't know why his spine was so severely damaged after what is it three or four weeks now? we don't know; is that correct? >> that is correct. >> okay. and we should know. at least something. preliminary. mr. gray was a drug-involved person. he was a user and a dealer on the streets. he had 20 arrests with five outstanding when he was taken into custody. is that mr. gray's fault that he was a low level criminal? was it his fault in your opinion? >> i'm not sure where was the responsibility of the six officers who arrested him? >> you don't want to answer that question, reverend, that's fine. you don't want to answer

the wbal chopper affiliate says that they are told by a police source that this large fire that you see here is a senior facility that was under construction that is burning or not thought to be any injuries associated with this fire. there are reports that there are multiple fires burning in baltimore. whether or not they are related to the protests this the streets, obviously another huge challenge for the first responders of baltimore tonight. part of what we have seen today is the fire department firefighters being -- having a hard time getting on site to respond to car fires and property fires that have been part of these protests. if this is indeed an unrelated fire tonight that happens to just be happening in the mid of of this other state of emergency, it's just not much of a challenge regardless of the cause of this fire and whether it's connected to these protests. erica green is a baltimore sun reporter who has been out in the streets of baltimore all day. thank you very much for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> can you give me what you've seen today in terms of the

know is what we're seeing on this feed right now and what we're hearing from the local tv station, wbalgroup of young kids gathered at this mall that we believe was closed because they were worried about some sort of organized sort of problems today and the mall, a couple of local businesses and nearby college campus decided to just call it quits for the day. on the off chance that something does happen. and police have been given the order by the police commissioner and mayor to let people protest. but there's a clear line that the police are not letting people cross. if there's a sign of violence sign it's starting to turn bad in their estimation they are giving people the order to get out -- >> some of what we're seeing here, we're looking at footage and seeing almost in some places more officers than citizens we're looking at live footage of citizens walking in groups perhaps from what we can tell being encouraged to give in one direction, we're seeing folks move together. can you give us a sense and some with hands raised as they walk in the street. is is that street supposed to be
