>> ONE, HOW ABOUT HOMELESS
SHOOTINGS? I KNOW THAT
HAPPENED IN BOTH NEW YORK AND
DC WHAT ARE WE HEARING FROM
THE NYPD THERE.
>> WELL, ESSENTIALLY THEY'RE
SAYING THIS STARTED IN DC AND
THIS IS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH NO
TIES, NO CRIMINAL HISTORY IN
NEW YORK CITY. IT STARTED ON
MARCH 3RD, ALMOST 2 WEEKS AGO
WHERE THERE WAS A SHOOTING AND
AND SO FORTH. AND THEN THE MAN
CAME TO NEW YORK AND THEN HE
WENT BACK TO DC WHERE HE WAS
APPREHENDED. SO WE HOPE OF THE
DC POLICE WILL PUT IN MORE
DON'T FILL IN MORE DETAILS
ABOUT WHY HE MAY HAVE DONE
THIS. IF THERE'S ANY LOGICAL
RATIONAL EXPLANATION FOR SUCH
BEHAVIOR. HERE'S HOW A NYPD
OFFICIAL DESCRIBED THE
SUSPECT. TAKE A LISTEN.
>> ANYBODY. WHO DOES THAT? YOU
SEE IN THE VIDEO JUST GOING UP
AND INDISCRIMINATELY SHOOTING
SOMEBODY SLEEPING DEFENSIVELY
DEFENSE ASLEEP ON SIDEWALK
NOBODY. AND THEY GOT SOME
SERIOUS ISSUES. I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY ARE.
>> THIS WAS AN ATTACK THAT
JUST SHOCKED THE SENSIBILITIES
OF A LOT OF NEW YORKERS, A
PLACE WHERE THERE IS SOMETIMES
OFTEN WHO DARE I SAY HORRIFIC
CRIME. AND THE THING ABOUT
THESE CASES TO IS THAT AGAIN
THERE ON VIDEO YOU SEE WHEN
THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE DOING
AND THE POLICE SAID THAT
ANOTHER BIG COMPONENT OF THIS
IS THAT THEY GOT A FLOOD OF
TIPS. THEY THEY HAD THE MEANS.
THEY HAVE LOCATIONS WHERE THIS
INDIVIDUAL WAS A FAIRLY
QUICKLY BECAUSE THE PUBLIC WAS
COOPERATING AND THAT'S HOW
THEY GOT HIM AGAIN, THIS
SUSPECT IS STILL IN D C HE'S
GOING TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO
NEW YORK AND CHARGED HERE.
>> SOON. THE CAPS RUN, AS YOU
MENTIONED, THIS STRING OF
SHOOTING STARTED WAY BACK ON
MARCH. 3RD, WHAT ARE POLICE
SAYING? IS THERE A POSSIBILITY
THAT THERE COULD POTENTIALLY
BE MORE VICTIMS ARE THAT WE
DON'T KNOW ABOUT.
>> WELL, THE SUSPECT IN THE
HOMELESS HOMICIDE CASE IS
ACTUALLY WHERE THIS IS A
SERIAL KILLER. ALLEGED SERIAL
KILLER. THE NEW YORK POLICE
SAID THAT THEY HAVE NO RECORD
OF HIM. BUT THEY'VE BEEN IN
TOUCH WITH POLICE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY
SORT OF CONNECTION. THEY THEY
DON'T KNOW IS THE SHORT BUT
THEY IMPLY THERE MIGHT BE.
>> ALL RIGHT, RON, WE HAVE
BEEN THE DC MAYOR MURIEL
BOWSER IN THE METROPOLITAN
POLICE DEPARTMENT TO GIVE AN
UPDATE ON THAT MAN ARRESTED IN
THOSE HOMELESS SHOOTINGS THAT
