than seven hours after the first killing, we have the fourth examine hopefully last, 31-year-old william allen was shot in the chest. joining me is city councilman jack henderson. good morning. can you tell us the latest there in terms of what the shootings were taking place? these were all in a predominantly black neighborhood, correct? >> correct. >> the shooter is a white male from what we understand. is this being looked at as a late crime? >> well, the tul sa branch of the naacp is what they're calling it. i am simply because it was african-american community and white shooter and only people that had been shot thus far is afro americans, so as a past president of the naacp for several years, i wouldn't know nothing else to call it other than that. >> from what we understand this suspect would ask somebody for directions and then open fire. is that what those who survived this are saying. >> one of the incidents, for sure, statement was made that this person drove up to them and in a white truck and asked them for information, and directions and they proceeded to tell him they didn't real

william allen, william eagan and thomas joyce did not have satisfactory documentation at national archives. i also looked at library of congress and the daughters of the american revolutionary library which has a lot of genealogical findings. so, unfortunately, we weren't able to find much on them. there are several candidates for those people. george littlefield. there are several people named george littlefield who may or may not be him from sacco, maine. there's always the wild card of the use of an alias. so that continues to -- in the process of trying to find these people. so here are a selection of gleanings from what i was able to determine. the widow of james fenwick was mary duffy fenwick. she was said to be pregnant in her pension application. she was living with her sister in 1865 with a child named james. james died in 1870. and mary fenwick, unfortunately, died from cholera in 1871. we see there the marriage record -- her name was mary duffy at the time. and here are some hospital records. she went on to become a domestic. she died at boston city hospital in 1871. she was ind

. >> bobby clark and william allen were murdered on the streets of tulsa, these were vicious and cowardly at tax. >> the shootings all occurred in a small section of north tulsa, police found the first victim just after 1:00 a.m. friday, the 49-year-old woman died at the hospital. three minutes later two, men were shot, but survived, shortly before 2:00 a.m., another man was found shot, he later died at the hospital. at 8:30 friday morning, a third man was found dead in the yard of this funeral home. all of the victims were shot with a small caliber weapon, all were black. >> yes, the community is on edge, and they want this man found. >> one of the surviving victims described the gunman as a white male in a white pickup. the timing and proximity of the shootings have led police to believe there is just one shooter. >> identified a lone wolf suspect who acted independently, it is going to be a real challenge. >> and alleged white gunman targeting black victims has some tulsa ns faring this is a hate crime, urging calm, police chief says it is too early to talk to motive. >> it is not time

clark and finally more than seven hours after the first killing, a fourth incident, 34-year-old william allen shot in the chest. earlier i spoke with councilman jack henderson and what he's telling his residents in his did strict. >> what we're telling people is they don't need to take matters into their own hands. we want to give the police didn't an opportunity and to support them in trying to apprehend this person. we need to cooperate with the police. i know that there's pockets of people that have not traditionally done that, but this is the crisis situation. a lot of people are afraid for their lives, for their children, for their loved ones, and if you can't walk on by or walk down the street in the city that yu live in, then that's definitely a problem. >> councilman henderson says he does consider this a hate crime bus the suspected shooter is white, the victims are all black and all the incidents were in african-american areas. >>> all accounted for. that's the news from a virginia apartment building. amazingly no one was killed in this fiery crash. one of the pilots is still in the

at the lineup, she claimed joseph allen had grabbed her son, william by the arm. >> do you recognizeoice and stuff? >> yeah, die. >> but on the day of the lineup, william didn't pick him out. at trial, emily oliver testified that william was so afraid of joseph allen he left the room in tears. but the lineup tape shows that was clearly not the case. had the jury seen this, emily oliver's credibility may well have been called into question. >> i don't remember anything happening to me. >> reporter: william oliver is all grown up now and currently doing time in an idaho prison for burglary. joseph never grabbed your arm? >> nope. >> reporter: you never saw them together? >> the only time i saw them close was on a piece of paper with their pictures on it. >> reporter: in your world, this is fiction? >> yeah. >> emily oliver had a life long problem with prescriptions. >> i think it was emily trying to cheat to the system to maybe collect money for herself to support her habit. >> reporter: it turned out another mother who testified at trial also had a history with drugs, margie grondin h

allen, as our own pete williams just suggested, federal law says that immigrants have to have their paperscards with them. so why shouldn't the states be able to card somebody that they come into contact with with law enforcement, why not? >> the state should be able to do that and that's why we're in court tomorrow. i applaud arizona taking a leadership roll on this issue. scare is dealing with a similar issue. we firmly believe that it was also noted last year in the whiting case, another case involving employers, employees, and licensing, being used to punitively punish employer who's fail to check legal status through e verify. the supreme court jep held this as a right of the state to regulate this area of law and to augment federal law. >> with all that, i don't see what beef is. if the local cops stop somebody, ask for their drivers license, ask for their insurance card and immigration law. federal law says that's what you can do, what's the issue here? >> the issue for the supreme court is whether state law and federal law conflict. if they conflict, federal law trumps state law. a

allen west. >> let's get right to the expert political panel, joe williams, white house reporter for politico andl and i have to start with you. get into the deep bench. according to las vegas odds makers florida senator marco rubio is in the lead 11-4 on odds and he followed by new jersey governor chris christie and bob mcdonald and paul ryan, and of course paul ryan has been attached at the hip with mitt romney this week but when he uses romney's introduction speech last night to prove that he doesn't know it was actually george w. bush and not president obama who famously claimed to be a uniter, not a divider, does that somewhat under mine his potential as a vp pick? >> yes. i think the fact that he is 0-2 and trying to promote a budget and this latest one i think is going to be a disastrous as last year's was, and this whole bit about sarah palin now jumping into the mix, i mean, listening to sarah palin dispense v.p. advice is like going to michael jackson's doctor for medical advice. i agree that rubio is probably the front-runner. i think the choice of rubio is a better way to cross racial

joining me now, our panel, nbc's ron allen live in sanford, florida, joanne reed, msnbc contributor and pete williams in washington. pete first to you. let's talk about the documents, florida law, and what to expect at this first appearance. >> that's what it's called, under florida law it's called a first appearance. he'll come in, be formally advised of the charges. he's not required to say anything. he doesn't enter a plea but his lawyer can ask for bail. in fact, we expect his lawyer to do so. then the judge will consider whether to grant him bail based on a number of factors. his ties to the community, whether he's likely to flee, whether his release into the community would be dangerous and all those factors will be taken into account. he's not automatically entitled to it. it's the judge's discretion. >> joanne, if he is released on bail and that's, of course, up to the judge, as pete points out, what will be the reaction, do you think, from the community, from trayvon martin's parents? they've said all they wanted was an arrest. what if he is out on bail? >> absolutely. i think that a release

allen posts -- >> and sean says -- >> we'd love to hear your comments, visit the facebook page, facebook/wusa9. >>> saints fans like me are shaking their heads at the smoking gun in the gregg williams case. he's already suspended indefinitely by the nfl for paying players to take out their opponents, now new recordings show exactly what he said to his players. >> williams was caught on tape by a filmmaker who's a fan of the saints who the saints allowed in the locker room and williams knew he was being taped. williams was with the saints after serving as an assistant coach with the redskins. his time here remains under investigation. >>> lawmakers in richmond have a new deal on a budget. $85billion over the next two years and the issue holding it up before was an effort to keep the tolls down on the dulles toll road. governor bob mcdonnell wants $150 million in state money to go to the metro extinction to dulles and that would have kept the tolls from skyrocketing. but house negotiators rejected that plan. the final vote on the budget is expected april 17th. >>> well, virginia will give more than $1 million to thomas haynesworth. he's the man who spent 27 years in prison for a crim

justice william rehnquist in 2001, as well as his current position, serving as an assistant united states attorney in houston. as the colead counsel for the united states in the prosecution of robert allen stanford, mr. costa secured a conviction of 13 charges of conspiracy, wire and mail fraud. mr. costa has been credited by his colleagues as the glue that held the case together. his dedication to this case and these victims shows the core of his character and the fact that he asked for a delay in his confirmation that -- because he wanted to finish this case and assure that it was done so that the convictions would be obtained, make me proud and pleased to support his nomination to the federal bench. i'm also pleased to support the nomination of judge david come post -- david guaderrama to the western district of el paso, texas. he moved to texas at a young age. he obtained two bachelor's degrees from new mexico state university in political science and psychology, then earned his juris doctorate degree from university of notre dame law school in 1979. in 1987, judge guaderrama was appointed as the first chief public defender of el paso county and continued in that service until he wa
