During an active shooter standoff. Officer j. J. Jefferson and officer john painter lost their lives in this shooting. One was the best man at the other mans wedding this year. Same day in new york city, an off Duty Police Officer was shot by two suspects who tried to rob him while he was on his way to work. Were told the officer is in stable condition. It happened on the eve of the funeral for 27yearold nypd officer wilbert mora, who was killed along with his colleague during an ambush almost two weeks ago. In texas, at the emotional funeral for a deputy shot and killed during a traffic stop, officials called the judicial system broken. This has to stop. Those in authority who were coddling the criminals and enabling this behavior have culpability just as those who are pulling the trigger. We cannot continue to do our jobs effectively when the rest of the judicial system is broken. People need to be held accountable because enough is enough. There is no other way to say it. Were tired. Were tired. Were tired physically. And were tired emotionally. This is a fight between good and evil. And we will not let evil prevail. Here in the past two weeks, officers shot in houston and st. Louis, milwaukee, new york, and now in virginia. And this is the man who is accused of killing those two Campus Officers in bridgewater, virginia. Hes been charged with two Felony Counts of Capital Murder as well as two other felonies. The Bridgewater College president says the two officers who lost their lives were beloved by students, faculty and staff. And joining us now, Bridgewater College student alex holloman, he was in the area of the shooting when it took place. Im so sorry, im so sorry for what your School Community is going through and i really appreciate you being with us this morning to tell us about this and to honor these police officers. Can you tell us what you experienced, what you saw . Yeah. Thanks for having me on. So we were just going about our business as usual, last tuesday afternoon, and all of a sudden we hear in our classroom eight shots rang out and everybody immediately knows, even someone like myself, who doesnt have much experience with firearms, we know it is a gunshot, and we all get on the ground, we all covering our heads, couple of kids get in the way of the door, to block it, if someone tried to open it. Professors telling everyone to get down, telling theyre calling 911, telling the operators whats going on. We hear someone we come to realize one officer was shot, screaming in pain for several moments after the shots had rang out. And then for several very intense minutes we sheltered in place there, not sure what was going to happen, we all knew the game, though. School shooting, playbook has been written before, but then gradually officers began to arrive at the scene and we started to look out of the windows and see the officers and our professor told us he was initially the first one to see it, he said, dont look out there if youre not going to handle it. So, yeah, they covered the bodies with sheets, though, but we could see from our vantage point, we could see the officers down. Did you know the officers . Did your fellow students know these officers . Well, everyone had interacted with these people on some level because they were probably the most friendly people on campus. Every time you saw them, they said hi to you, greet you. And anyone i didnt get to know them much more extensively than that. People who did confirmed that, you know, these are great people, and no one no one i know can say a bad word about them. Even some people who got caught with drug or alcohol and got charged by them say, the next week theyre back in the cafeteria, joking with each other and teasing each other. These are outstanding individuals and pillars of our community. I know they were responding to this call of a suspicious man. So they intercepted obviously a dangerous person who did not get to the students, alex. Yeah. That was that is something that is gradually sinking in on us is that these people potentially sacrificed their lives for ours. So were very grateful for that. Alex, i want to thank you for being with us. And also for telling us about these officers and, you know, just some beautiful stories about what they were to the students at your school. We appreciate it. Alex hulleman. Yes, thank you for having me on. So, big new on the vaccine front for parents of young children, pfizer says it is ready to start vaccinating babies as young as 6 months old. The company says it has reached out to the fda for Emergency Use Authorization. Thats the news here. Pfizer is applying for Emergency Use Authorization here. But according to the Kaiser Family foundation, only three in ten parents of kids under 5 say they will get their child vaccinated right away. Joining us now is dr. Ashish jha, dean of the Brown University school of public health. Vaccines only work if you take them, dr. Jha. Yeah. Good morning, and thank you for having me here. Thats correct. And what we need to do is build up confidence in these vaccines. Were going to want to look at the data to see how well the vaccines are working, how safe they are. I expect them to be exceedingly safe. They have been for other children. But absolutely true were going to have to help parents get comfortable, get confident this is the right thing to do for their kids. Okay, so, look, im the parent ive been long awaiting this vaccine, dr. Jha, i know there are so many people in this category. But you look at the numbers, i have a 3 1 2yearold, youre looking at the dkids who are right under that 5year mark, they didnt see as effective a bump in the trials. Ill tell you personally, im inclined to move forward. My child who is 3 1 2 had covid over christmas, my hope is the vaccine is safe, add that to the fact he has some Natural Immunity now and i hope that puts us somewhere, but we need more answers too. Absolutely. So, first of all, i think there are a lot of parents out there, at least three in ten, maybe more, who are anxious to get their kids under 5 vaccinated. We have always been guided by evidence and data on this stuff. And thats what we got to do again. Im going to look very carefully at the data presented to the fda, the Advisory Committee will look very carefully at this, and first and biggest question is it safe, i expect it to be very safe, we have to see. The second question is how effective is it. And that should really drive the decisionmaking. I expect an authorization, but im not convinced well have one. We will really want to look at the evidence very carefully. It is not a slam dunk and it is not the safety that is an issue so much as data that is effective because there isnt that data, at least not yet. Theyre taking a flyer on the hope it might be proven effective going forward. Dr. Jha, i want to ask you, youre so informative on twitter and you frame things i think in such an understandable way for people. You describe this moment in the pandemic as sort of a rainstorm or a waning rainstorm. What does that mean and how should that impact our behavior . Yeah, so, you know, ive been really puzzled by the fact that we have managed to pull in these very basic Health Measures like mask wearing and testing and vaccinations and i really do think of it as, like, if im going out into a massive thunderstorm and it is bucketing rain, i have an umbrella, but i also wear a raincoat, i wear my rain boots, but obviously if it is drizzling, i sometimes go out with like a small umbrella and not going to put on a big raincoat. Thats how to think about this. When the virus is raging, we should be doing everything we can to slow that down. And protect ourselves. When virus levels get very, very low in the community, perfectly reasonable not to have mask mandates, for people who want to wear a mask, they should wear one. But mandates can get lifted in the moments when Infection Numbers are very low. When youre looking at mandates, universities that are starting to lift certain mandates whether it is vaccines or masks or both, is the timing right on that . Yes, so, first of all, i think Vaccine Mandates milwaukee a make a lot of sense. You get longterm protection. Thats a different thing in my mind. In terms of mask mandates, i wouldnt do it now. Infection numbers are way down, theyre still pretty high compared to historical averages. I would wait a couple more weeks. As long as Infection Numbers get low, and Hospital Capacity is not a problem, as long as deaths start coming down and theyre still pretty high, those are the moments i would use to start pulling back the mask mandates. Dr. Ashish jha, thank you so much for joining us this morning. Great to see you. Thank you.

Just in to cnn, Satellite Images appear to show new significant military deployments in belarus, crimea, and western russia. This is happening as russian president Vladimir Putin is blaming the u. S. And nato for the escalating conflict along the ukrainian border. Translator their main task is to contain the development of russia. Ukraine is simply a tool to achieve this goal. They could draw us into some kind of armed conflict, and force their allies in europe to impose the very tough sanctions that are being talked about in the United States today. We were given promises not to push the infrastructure of the nato block to the east one inch. Everyone knows this well. Today we see where nato is located. Poland, romania, the baltic countries. They said one thing, they did another. As people say, they screwed us over. Joining us now is democratic congresswoman mikey sheryl of new jersey. Shes a member of the House Armed Services committee, she also just returned from a trip to ukraine where she was part of a bipartisan delegation to discuss this buildup of Russian Troops along the ukrainian border. Long intro there, congresswoman, but youve been on this important trip we wanted to tell people about. First, though, can you respond to what you heard there from Vladimir Putin basically saying nato has just encroached on russia and he clearly feels justified . Im not sure he truly feels justified because, you know, none of what hes saying really comports with the history or reality. I was a russian Policy Officer when i was in the military and certainly discussing states coming into nato and what nato might look like After The Fall of the berlin wall. And what he is describing simply is not true. We would not tell a sovereign state who they could or could not ally with. And that is the argument of russia, that they should have a sphere of influence, contrary to our beliefs in democracy and sovereign states choosing their path forward and the citizens of that state being able to choose their path forward. It is striking to me to hear this sort of victimhood that putin seems to be putting forward when he has amassed over 100,000 troops on the border of ukraine and seems to think that there should be no response to that. Thats the other thing, congresswoman, is we have these photos from an independent company that shows this buildup of troops, in crimea, in donbas, coming in from belarus as well, and yet the russian position seems to be that we should not believe our eyes. What do you say to that . It is really striking. It kind of harkens back to the way russia used to communicate or the soviet union used to communicate during the cold war. I remember even as a young girl, you know, seeing right through that and thinking this makes no s sense, and certainly thats where we are today. Youre exactly right. You know, 2014, when russia Invaded Crimea and the donbas, that was the First Time Since the end of world war ii that we saw an invasion of a sovereign nation in europe, and attempt to annex territory. So, again, this massing of troops i think is really the aggression that were seeking to address. I would love to find a way to deter russia from moving forward. Ill tell you having just been on the ground in ukraine, seeing the desire of the people there to fight for freedom, i think putin is making a miscalculation and some of what hes talking about now gives me some hope that hes attempting to find a path to walk back from his current aggressive position. Can you tell us more about your trip . You met with the ukrainian president. What did you learn . So, i am a member of the House Armed Services committee, so i joined the Foreign Affairs trip to ukraine with a sense in mind of determining if ukraine felt as if they had the support they needed, militarily, from the u. S. , with weapons, and other means to deter this aggression, and if they were invaded, to fight back against russian aggression, and ill tell you, we started in the we started in brussels, we met with our eu allies and nato, and what struck me was how unified we all were in addressing this aggression from russia. In fact, i think another miscalculation of putins is that he has done more to reignite the transatlantic relationship that had been somewhat frayed in the previous administration. But we are all strongly united. We also went as a bipartisan delegation and i can tell you that as we were overseas, we were all simply supporting the position of americas support of freedom. We met with the ukrainian president and, you know, he said he his people are ready to fight. He certainly does not need United States troops on the ground. They are more than capable, he said, and will defend their democracy and their freedom. All right, democratic congresswoman mikie sherrill, we appreciate you joining us this morning. Thank you.
