Degreed the second murder charge and the gun charge for each brother in this case. The brothers of michael ford. Take a look at the scene. This is the police station. You can see officers are still very vigilant this afternoon. We want to show you disturbing stuff. Officer jacai colson had parked on sunday afternoon, minutes after the bullets started ringing out. If you look at the street, this is where michael ford was allegedly standing when he pointed the gun at officers and started firing. Look at all of the paint markers. Oft gives you an indication just how violent this gun battle was. If you look at the front door of the station, the door is boarded up after bullets shattered the glass. Brothers, michael ford, his brothers, elijah and mal ik, who parked and recorded the entire thing. I am devastated this is happening to a young police man. An educated black police man, working to protect us. John the alleged gunman was by cop, evenicide recording a last will and testament before

General manager. Before i begin, i want to say again that i know today presented a hardship to the region and i thank everyone for their support as we worked through this. Let me tell you that the shutdown today was necessary. Since we began at midnight, metro teams have identified 26 areas where damaged jumper cables and connector boots exist.
