Transcripts For CNN CNN Newsroom With Wolf Blitzer 20240917

The suspect in the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in federal court, right now, 58yearold ryan routh for was taken into Custody Yesterday after fleeing the scene at trumps West Palm Beach, florida, Golf Club Trump was playing golf with a secret Service Agent, spotted a Rifle Barrel through a fence and open fire before routh fled by car afterward, officials found an Ak Style Rifle with a Scope Hope and materials for a bulletproof vest the fbi has launched an investigatiOn And the interim us secret Service Director is now on the ground in florida. Were told indefinitely, as they seek answers and an incident which has sent shockwaves through the country for the second time in just two months cnns chief if legal Affairs Correspondent Paula reid is joining us now. Shes live outside the federal court in West Palm Beach, florida. Paula. So whats happening court right now well wolf, we have just learned the charges that ryan wesley routh, who will face any at least initially additional charges may be added. This hearing has just wrapped up during the hearing. It was revealed that he is facing two counts, including possession of a firearm. Well, a while, a former Felon And Possession of a firearm with an obliterated Serial Number. So todays hearing, this was before a magistrate judge. This is not the judge that would oversee his case going forward. This is just so he understands the charges have been filed against him, and the judge can assess the current terms of his detention, but a formal Detention Hearing is scheduled for next monday, and then he will be arraigned and on the 30th. Now, our colleagues inside report that he was dressed in dark Prison Garb and then he was actually shackled. It isnt something you always see in these kinds of hearings. But the hearing has just wrapped up, but he will be back in court on monday. It is notable wolf that the Justice Department is handling this case. These are federal charges, and i would expect that additional count will be added. This is just his first appearance federal court in this likely historic case in a related development, maybe unrelated, but its certainly very important Elon Musk Paula is now facing lots and lots of backlash over his now deleted X Post about trumps apparent Assassination Attempt. What why should the White House just weighing in on this wolf calling this post quote, irresponsible violence should never be encouraged or joked about ai in a statement, a white House Spokesman said President Biden and Vice President harris said after yesterdays disturbing news, there was no place for political violence or for any violence pilots ever in our country. And we must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence. So here, the White House condemning that post from Elon Musk and clearly trying to take the temperature down here, wolf. All right, paula, thanks very much. Paula reid reporting for us from dawn in florida, joining us now for more on all of this former us Secret Service Special Agent, Cheryl Tyler and former Philadelphia Police commissioner, also former Dc Police chief Charles Ramsey Chief Ramsey, this is that Elon Musk tweet. We were just mentioning x that poster they put up there. And since deleted, i want to get your reaction to it. And do you think musk could face potential legal consequences when he said that no one has even trying to assassinate Biden And Kamala well, i dont know if hell face any legal consequences or not, irresponsible and everyone needs to tone down the rhetoric. We were in very, very dangerous threats to Donald Trump. Its threats two other candidates is threats to election workers. I mean, this is just something that has to stop and people like musk and others, just keep adding fuel to the fire is just got to stop sheryl doesnt the Secret Service believed that if someone is threatening or trying to inspire or instigate some sort of threat against a sitting president and Vice President of the united states that potentially is a crime yes. Pardon me. Yes, youre correct. But that there are several steps with that, they have to be witnessed and someone has to call in someone has to say that yes, this is what was said when you are absolutely correct, it is against the law to make threats towards a protectee yeah. And presumably, his lawyers told him he better delete that post on x, formerly known as twitter cheryl, let me follow up on whats going on. What specific challenges to securing a site like present for the Secret Service personally, i have worked on several Golf Courses with different president s. They are very challenging and depends on the total topography of the land it could be on a cliff, it could be in a group in areas such as the one in florida. It could be on an island. Theyre all challenging its the time of day, its the day of the week. Its are there other people on the course . Is you have all these factors to put into play that being said that protect. He has the right to go play golf swims, ski, do any Sport Activity . It is challenging for the Secret Service because we have to figure out the best way sure that protectee stays safe at all times. Theres no One Onestop Solution for that Chief Ramsey, we just learned about the actual charges that hes now facing, two firearms charges. What do you think about the Number And Severity of those charges . Well, theyre very severe. I mean, and you may get additional charges when all is said and done. This investigation is ongoing, is continuing, right now. They want to have enough in place to be able to hold him in custody and so the firearms charges, theyre ready to go with what that doesnt mean that there wont be additional charges in the future. Youre or convicted felon can possess a Weapon And Possession of a firearm and theres also that obliterated Serial Number that was on that weapon. Clearly, the Serial Number had been destroyed. Both of those are very serious charges. Chief ramsey well, they are very serious charges. Again and therell be additional charges more than likely when all is said and done but they certainly have enough right now to be able to charge him with felonies and to be able to keep him in custody and thats the main thing right now. This investigation is ongoing. More information will surface as time goes On And we have to be patient and wait for additional information as it comes out. But there is still an awful lot of unanswered questions. Dont know motive yet we dont know how he knew that the president was even going to be on the Golf Course. I mean, it just goes On And On And on in terms of open questions, but at least hes in custody. And therell be able to question them, hopefully in the future. Well see if he retains a lawyer. I assumed presumably they will find out fairly soon i want to tyler service its just not typically what you would find in anybody who was stopped by police and had guns pointed out on a good point that cheryl, the congressional Task Force thats been put together investigating the first attempted assassination of trump in pennsylvania in july, has requested a briefing from the us Secret Service what do you think that could look like well, id like to say one more thing on the person, the individual. You have to understand also an i agree with Chief Ramsey that is for a normal person would feel that way when you come from the world that i came from . When youre talking about people who are going after a president and wanting to make a threat and trying to take it to the next step of trying to assassinate them. Were looking at a different type of person. So when i say that the person, it didnt surprise me when you are getting involved in situations where people want to make threats against the president thats a different type of individual. They can be calm. They can the cool and collected, but theyre very calculative in their thought process. So im not surprised at that what theyre facing on The Hill the questions could come from any angle whatsoever. Yeah. Well see what happens on that front. Cheryl tyler, Chief Ramsey to both of you. Thank you very, very much coming up.

So you can see multiple Fbi Agents near bushes outside the course. Theyre investigating the apparent Assassination Attempt to former President Trump. We will continue, of course, to monitor this, bring you all the very latest developments thats coming up this hour as well in the meantime, other important news were following Jd Vance is doubling down on his totally baseless claims about haitian immigrants in the united states eating the pets of citizens in springfield, ohio, the state that Jd Vance represents this time on air with my colleague, Dana Bash. Watch this the american media totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump and i start talking about cat means if i have to i mean, create stories so that the american media actually pays attention to the suffering of the american people. Then thats what im going to do, dana, because you guys are completely letting Kamala Harris coast. You had one interview with hur you talk about pushing back against me, dana, you didnt push back against the fact that she cast the deciding vote on the inflation reduction act, which is why a lot of americans cant afford food and housing. You just said that youre creating and dana is joining us right now right here. Dana, we heard, you call Jd Vance admitting that he created the story about haitian immigrants and you went after him understandably, do an excellent interview. Why is he still digging in his heels on this issue . Its just the classic drop. And if you go back even to where Donald Trump and this sort of line or a strategy came from, it was Roy Cohn back in the day that you if you say something or do something, you have to stick with it, never apologize for it. And, you know, the other thing is he was very very clear wolf. He said that the reason he continues to talk about it is to get immigration back on the front pages my my job and i was successful in doing it or not was not let him change the subject to that, but go to the original fact that he did not tell the truth or at least he took something that was just a rumor without any substantiation that had very, very real racist undertones, even more than undertones and talked about it. And the fact that he even admitted that his he created a story. And one thing i will tell you is he got in my face, if you will, virtually about the idea that there have been Bomb Threats that the schools have been closed, hospitals had to shut down temporarily and he said, well, youre blaming me for that and thats irresponsible. Well, this is something that i didnt say. Its something that came from the mayor of the town of springfield saying federal officials, ieee, Jd Vance, and the person who wants to be a federal official again, Donald Trump, are creating a situation where Theres Danger in their town and theyre just another example of that today, there is something called culture fest, which is an annual celebration that happened in springfield, was supposed to happen at The End of september. The mayor told me just a short while ago that they had to cancel it this year because theyre worried about the safety of their citizens since this is not because of the migrants who have come in. This is because of the unsubstantiated comments about these migrants that are that is causing the real Safety Concerns for Jd Vance, his own constituents, these haitian immigrants have legal status, legal or legal status and mike dewine, whos the states governor, was on another network saying that he very much supports the program that allows for these haitian migrants immigrants to be there, that they are Filling Jobs that are necessary. There employers there who are trying to grow businesses in springfield after springfield was one of the many towns in that area that was really hurt when factories closed. They want to rebuild and the haitian workers are helping with that effort. They do have issues with help helping to assimilate with language, helping to find housing, helping to integrate into the schools. But the governor and the mayor, i talked to said they are working on that and unsubstantiated claims of Eating Dogs and cats it doesnt. Help it hurts, certainly doesnt indeed, i want to get to the apparent Assassination Attempt a second time against President Trump. He just weighed in and interview with Fox News digital, blaming both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for the second attempt on his life well, everything is political right now look, they have each separately present Biden Today when he came out and spoke to reporters on his way out to the helicopter, said that he is very glad that the Secret Service was able to do their job, that hes very glad that former President Trump wasnt hurt. And Kamala Harris said the same thing. Everything is politicized in this environment. So its not surprising that that is what he said. Theres absolutely again, no basis. In fact, that they were behind this at all. We dont know much about this guy yet at all other than he was somebody who was trying to find a way at in his mid to Late 50s Go and serve on the frontlines of ukraine. And he obviously had some antitrump posts. But thats has nothing to do with Kamala Harris and joe biden. It has to do with the fact that this is his political beliefs and obviously this is a very disturbed individual. This alleged suspect. They have a lot more on ryan route 58yearsold. Thats coming up this hour well, dana, thank you very much. And to our viewers, be sure to tune into Inside Politics with Dana Bash, right at the top of the hour, shell have a lot more news, right .

At 8 00 on tbs returning now to our breaking news, we just learned what the suspect in the apparent trump Assassination Attempt in florida was charged with specifically possession of a firearm while a convicted felon, he has been a convicted Felon And Possession of a firearm within obliterated Serial Number. Apparently that Serial Number on the firearm had been destroyed. Sources tell cnn that additional charges could be coming. This was outside this was the scene outside trumps Golf Course, just moments ago. You can see Fbi Agents outside the Golf Course. The former president was golfing at The Club on sunday when a us secret Service Agent actually noticed a man with a rifle about 500 yards or so away from Trump 58yearold Ryan roth was taken into custody in connection with the incident, joining us now is former fbi Special Agent in charge, frank montoya. Frank, thanks so much for joining us. What do you make of the Secret Services responses, incident, at least so far . So far it went off as far as protecting the former president , went off just like it was supposed to. They did exactly how their tactics are laid out to do. I mean, lets 500 yards away the guy was they were patrolling the perimeter. They saw this individual. They were able to react to it and save the former president as it, its lives. So they did exactly what they were supposed to do. I mean, when you look at that location, a Golf Course like that very, very hard to secure, but it went as planned. It went as they as they practice to do these kinds of things. Trump was on the fifth solely was moving apparently to the 6th. Holy was a few hundred yards away from this suspect. Should there have been with hindsight, should there have been more secret Service Agents in that Perimeter Area . Thats always going to be a question that you have to take a look at in the aftermath of something like this. But i also think that according to their plan, it work as it was supposed to work only option that you have is to close off the entire area and i dont know if you can do that. I mean, its a big public area. Theres a lot out of activity, theres businesses that are working i mean, if he wants to play golf, he can play golf that there is going to be that inherent risk. Again, you put your resources out there in the manner that you do and youre able to subvert the threat, the way that they did. So i think that like to sheriff said, i think yesterday it went according to plan you dont want to have to deal with this kind of stuff but if you have to, thats how you want to be able to do it when the threat is so far out there that its surely not. It can have an impact on the principal normally, a secret Service Agents go with one whole i had of where a former president or a sitting president may be playing golf to me make sure that everything is clear. Law enforcement frank guy, as you know, theyre working to obtain Search Warrants right now for various Social Media accounts believed to be associated with the detainee what do you think theyre looking for . Anything that will indicate what the Guys Mindset was, what his motive is. This is a case where the individual is still alive. And so and hes facing charges and so you have to be able to prove those charges against them. And so good looking into his Social Media, looking into his Internet Activity all going to go towards what defining what his motive was. And thats going to be really important because not only do you have to prove did he did it lead to prove that he was even at the site because as youll recall, the weapon, the other items were never recovered at the crime scene. He was arrested miles away. And so they have to put that all together in order to make their case and it will start with the review of his electronics and i assume his fingerprints will be on the weapOn And the backpack and the other material that he left behind you hope so. Theres also possibly dna and then the other part of that is that quick Thinking Witness who took a picture of the vehicle, was he also able to get pictures of the individual will he be able to identify him in a lineup . So its all about being able to put together the pieces whether theyre forensic, were their witness a Witness Perspective together to put this individual at that scene to prove their case the florida governor Ron Desantis has announced that the state is conducting its own investigation right now, he posted this. They said the State Of Florida will begin its own investigation, regarding the attempt that assassination at trump international golf club, the people deserve the truth about the Wouldbe Assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current gop nominee. Why do you think the governor is doing this . Frank . Politics. I mean, the reality of the situation is that theres federal, state, and local on the ground and theyre all working together to solve this already that once they get the pieces together and then theyre able to make their case and then the truth will come out and The Key part here, and this is what gets a little bit frustrating for investors to gators on the scene, is that this guy is live, so theyre going to make a case against him and you want to be able to protect the integrity of your investigation until youre able to make that case against you if something gets put out that its prejudicial, its something that gets put out that reveals the Prosecutions Prosecution Strategy you put the case at risk. And so this is why there is that determination to really protect the integrity investigation. Yes, the public has a right to know things, but there is a time and a place for that. And Politics Cant Drive that Decision Making and im told the secret Service Protection is intensifying, not just for trump, but for the president and the Vice President and other senior officials right now as well. Frank montoya. Thank you very much for helping us coming up. Sources now tell cnn, Donald Trump will meet with the us Secret Service later today after this second apparent tamp on his life.

The acting secret Service Director is in florida as well. Cnn correspondent Kristen Holmes is joining us right now. Youre getting more information kristen, what are you learning yeah. Well, we know that meeting is happening this afternoon. We know that Donald Trump is looking to have a conversation with the Acting Director about what happened in frying, getting some new details where we heard from the campaign. Is that a real concerns right now are how exactly not only was this suspect able to get that close to Donald Trump, but also how he was able to track Donald Trumps whereabouts. Now, of course, in West Palm Beach its not that big. You could have seen the motorcade right now after that first Assassination Attempt in butler pennsylvania, we know that they had increased the Motorcade Presence meaning that its not just a couple of black cars that travel to and from the Golf Course or around the city. It is also an full almost president ial motorcade that includes vans it includes a Counter Assault Team at times, it also includes an ambulance, so not that hard to track there, but this idea that Donald Trump wasnt even supposed to be playing golf it was the Lastminute Addition to his calendar and that this person was able to not only track that he had gone to the golf club, bots set up at the whole that is obviously raising concerns and walk that goes on to what we believe will pay at least part of this conversation, which is how to increase or how to change any Security Measures is that will be changed. Now one thing to note is that this told by a number of people that this increased presence on the Golf Course is something that happened after butler, pennsylvania. They were trying to increase the number of aid It Gins around Donald Trump and its not just Secret Service. Its also local Law Enforcement. One of the things that we have seen really in that Press Conference Yesterday and from the local Law Enforcement horseman is that they were very heavily involved in the unfolding of this event. Of course, it was Secret Service that fired at the suspect, but in the tracking down of the suspect in the stopping of the Car Our in the following up on leads which all happened very fast yesterday afternoon. So we do expect to try we do want or at least hope to get a readout, some kind of basis effects from this meeting with the Acting Director. But still unclear if thats going to happen as obviously the Security Measures are often kept close to the chest all right hold on for a moment, kristen, the Martin County Sheriff is holding a little briefing right now on a listen. Im standing up here because on the shelf, while i was home having a cup of coffee after church and did get out to sea, but i wasnt right there they deserve the credit. They took the chance they saw the car. They approached it, they got to stop theres no force on earth that could have stopped them from getting him the situation is all about communication did you guys communicate with Singles Accounting than maybe even any River County saying, hey, just girls at a north you ready . Standby . Yeah. The question is where we all engage everybody on the Treasure Coast was engaged, but but well let him get through Martin County mentioned or how many guys sheriffs deputies vehicles were . And behind him or involved in the stock . I suppose was questioned how many many people how many of our deputies were behind him we had every available unit in the Mark County Sheriffs Office headed that way. Obviously, we didnt pull meant for many in town. We would have had a South County in it down into question. That wasnt there. But we have detectives, we had Truck Guys that came from home i think its The End of the day. We probably had 30 units either. There are heading there before it was over you regarding the natural stop itself, you mentioned a big Pickup Trucks this gentleman was not pulled over using stop sticks. Know are the pinova, right right. Yeah. The Worlds Question is did we use a Pit Maneuver or did we . You stopped six . Answer is no. Regrets. These big heavy Duty F2 50s with the bumpers and we just surround the vehicle and then force it to a stop, pushed it you know, kind of maneuver that off the interstate. Remember, we have two concerns are primarily concerned primary no matter what happens, is the safety of the Motoring Public we dont want to create a situation where when highspeed chase for shootout theres theres some people thats always her first concern with that concern and my we follow up procedure and that is get the car to stop. Dont give it a chance to run the onus is on the driver and if he had not stopped, it would have been a mess out there i guess youre a french i believe i maybe craig, i believe he mentioned License Plate readers and thats kind of how they determine this guy was going north or 95 did that play into your did you guys use this License Plate . We are technology as well to kind of get a Leg Up or whilst question is, do we use License Plates technology never to mention methodologies or sources, resources but we have to in this case because Palm Beach county had already told us what to look for, and thats all we needed. They gave us the vehicle description. They gave us the tags, so we were on it think about this Weekend Traffic identified. I mean, i just thank god, we found that car and were able to give i think were able to give former President Trump a peace of mind. Hes really invited the men and women that were involved in the stop to go to maralago will be thanked for what they did trump extended that invitation what do you roughly where the deputies spotted the vehicle, was like bridges, roads and bridges. Roads wanted to are yeah. We originally picked a Vehicle Up somewhere around the pomp city exit, so that would be 7 14. And it took us about two miles to get all the resources. In play so we could surround that Vehicle And Force it to a stop. How was he driving when you have every on how was he driving when we signed it he was smart if its just driving with the flow of traffic yeah. I think that he may have thought he got away with it. He course. He couldve known that there was a witness who really did the right thing and took a picture of him, took a picture of the tag. I use just going to drive himself back to wherever he came from. Did he have any to your knowledge any ties to Martin County or the trade for coast to my knowledge, does he have any ties to mark cathys the answer to my knowledge, answer is no. I have no knowledge. I think what were finding that hes not from this area, which of course raises the bigger question is, how does a guy from night here get All The Way to mach two trump in national realize that the president for president united states is golfing as able to get a rifle in that vicinity. I think thats a question that bi Secret Service or laserfocused on today. Is this Guy Part of a conspiracy . Is he a lone gunman . A lone gunman . President trump is that much safer because we have them. But if its part of a conspiracy, then this whole thing really takes on a very ominous tone. You mentioned seconds ago when it comes to that witness, you guys always when it comes to the cases saying please let us know if you see his business. Obviously it is that one witness may possible what you guys did yeah thats thats good your Comment And Question did the one witness make it all possible . The answer is unequivocal. Yes. Just take a minute. Lets say he. Got down their attempt to assassination. Nobody sees him. He gets away. Actually he worked, gotten away, but a severe and so on. And they still be looking for and now the first be doing fingerprints, all the things that we do then we will have find them. So that witness deserves a lot of credit. Sheriff, whats going through your mind at this time, as you said, this is probably the most highprofile situation in Warren County baby, its history with this suspect as sheriff, whats going through your mind things saying, hey, this actually happening in our county by whats going through my mind is sheriff, as weve made just stop, is that this is a once in a career Once In A Lifetime event. I mean, how many people get shot off at the former president united states . The Pool Guy is already been shot once and then for that suspect to come into this county already had somebody asking me, does it feel like the lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby a situation where the Dallas Police and that they catch the assassin in that case of john f. Kennedy so i feel like the without being hyperbolic, is just a touch of history and but the credit again, i just have to stress if the credit goes to those Road Road Patrol officers who made the stop and took the chance do you know where exactly on 95 pages. Just a better sense of where the actual where things ended, i suppose. Yeah. Where did things actually, yes. So we picked car up and about the 110 my marker two miles later, northbound. By which time would shut down all northbound traffic. Weve got Guinness Wind five, slow everybody down and within two miles of the 110. So right about that in 12 were able to make the stop in neutral the subject we we abide by prime camera dont have when hes pulled it over you know. Im not sure that we do unless there was a traffic we dont have dash mountains course. We have bodyworn only the Traffic Units have the Dash Cameras for the duis. I dont know that we actually have the video stop other than the biochemist were all activated, but youve seen it on invariably you get a picture of the Steering Wheel involve seen did you guys have your helicopter be sort of involved in this or helicopter never had to go airborne and pbs. So helicopter was right over ad right away saying, i want to shout to Sentence County Sheriffs Office sent a ban supposed dog we were able to sweep that car make sure it was safe everybody played hand yes. We caught him but everybody is is this is a team effort. You said bombs those with dog. Was my they say it was eso, not like theyre kind of big truck department. Suppose the dog, the Bomb Nothing Canine Dog they all thank you very much. Ive been right hi. There. You just heard the Martin County Sheriff Williams Snyder updating us providing very important additional new information about the ability of the Martin County Sheriffs department to go ahead and actually stop the vehicle from this a detainee, the vehicle moving up from Palm Beach county, just north to Martin County there Martin County is just north of Palm Beach county, moving up along Interstate 95, Interstate 95 as many of you know, goes All The Way from South Florida, All The Way up towards washington, dc and even further north up to new york. And this vehicle that the detainee was in and was moving up from Palm Beach county from that Golf Course up towards 95 north and we heard the sheriff say maybe he was driving back to where he came from. We know he did have a connection with North Carolina, so maybe he was thinking about heading back up towards North Carolina in the course of those remarks. We also heard the sheriff correctly expressed his gratitude to that one eyewitness who spotted this individual that area at the Golf Course spot of this individual took a picture of them, took a picture of the vehicle is black nissan and the License Plate number, which was so critical in finding this guys who is moving Up I95 from Palm Beach county, da Martin County. And he thanked this individual, did the right thing. You see something you say something. And in this particular case if youre an eyewitness, you do something, you take a picture on your phone and that was so critically important too also expressed a lot of credit and thanks to the Sheriffs Department for successfully along a major interstate like that, stopping this vehicle and preventing any any danger to any of the other cars going up and down i95, of course, is usually very, very busy, especially down in South Florida as we all know were going to continue to watch all of this more information is coming in, more live events are coming in.

Im just in windy City Rehab Season from your tuesday, september 24 at 8 00 on hgtv lets get back to our breaking news. We just learned what the suspect and the apparent trump Assassination Attempt was charged with specifically charged with possession of a firearm while a convicted felon, he was a convicted Felon And Possession of a firearm with an obliterated Serial Number that firearm had the Serial Number completely destroyed. Lets discuss whats going on with the former Philadelphia Police commissioner, former Dc Police chief Charles Ramsey. Chief ramsey. Whats your reaction specifically to these two charges . Well, i suspect therell be more charges to follow, but these are sufficient to hold him in custody. Theyre very serious charges. I mean, it felonies, but as time goes on, i believe additional charges will be filed and what did you think of what we just heard from the Martin County Sheriff Tk William Snyder at that briefing that he just had because he did provide some additional new information about how they were able in Martin County just north of Palm Beach county on Interstate 95 to go ahead and stop this vehicle and get the detainee out. And for all practical purposes, charge him well, The Key and he mentioned this was the witness that had the presence of mind to take a photograph of the car and the License Tag what that allowed them to do them at least in west palm would be to run the tag, put out a be on the Lookout Alert to all Law Enforcement in the area. So they had a description of the vehicle License Plate readers hit on the car was traveling northbound those officers were on the highway. They spotted the car and they were able to get enough assistance since they are at an pull him over right away. They waited until it has sufficient resources there where they could actually pin him in. And not get into a high speed pursuit, which was very smart on their part. So things went well. I mean, it worked about as well as it can work. Thats where realtime crime centers really play up. Critical role because theyre able to go into databases, get more information, push it out to people in the field that need to have it and so forth. So things work like they should have worked i thought it was interesting when we heard that Martin County Sheriff William Snyder described potentially how dangerous it is to stop a vehicle driving Up I95, Interstate 95. There are a lot of other cars in the area and you have to really be careful if theres a suspect in that vehicle who potentially could have a weapon that normal passengers who were just driving along i95 might not be endangered. This is not necessarily an easy process. He says the number one goal is to make sure that innocent civilians on i95 are not endangered. Any Traffic Stop is dangerous even more so on an interstate especially since youre making whats called a felony car stop, a person who is potentially armed. The last thing you want a shot to be fire on an interstate innocent people can be struck obviously, whether its gunfire from the suspect or the police. So things worked out well in this case, though, they coordinated their actions to minimize the opportunity for this individual, if he were armed, to be able to fire on the officers, are possible so believe in injure innocent people so much credit goes to that one eyewitness who was smart enough not only to see something, but to do something, take a picture of the vehicle, take a picture of the License Plate. Thats certainly helped result in the capture of this detainee, Chief Ramsey. As usual. Thanks very much for joining us on this very important story to our viewers. Thanks very much for joining me this hour. Im wolf blitzer. Ill be back later tonight. Six p. M. Eastern in the situation room. Stay with us Inside Politics so Dana Bash starts right now
