Killed 21yearold Emantic Fitzgerald bradford jr. , an armed man Police Originally believed was responsible for the shooting. Now they say bradford is not the man that fired the shots and the search is on for the gunman. How did this discrepancy begin . I reached out to the agency thats taken over the investigation and they havent responded yet to my questions to clarify this. Right now we dont know where the gunman is or frankly how many people theyre looking for. Overnight, the Hoover Police department issued a statement that said our department does not typically issue media updates during an internal investigation, but there was information discussed with local media last night that merits update and clarification. The initial report was two men had gotten into a fight of some kind at the mall that resulted in a 21yearold shooting an unarmed 18yearold. That victim was taken to the hospital. The update now says the 21yearold identified as Emantic Fitzgerald bradford jr. May have been involved in some aspect of the altercation but likely did not fire the rounds that injured the 18yearold victim. Police say bradford did flee the scene, brandishing his weapon. Thats when an armed Hoover Police officer working mall security shot and killed him. So if bradford is not the one that shot the 18yearold, theres someone out there that did. Police say they now believe there were more than two people involved in the initial fight, with at least one gunman still at large who could be responsible for the 18yearold shooting victim as well as a 12yearold girl caught in the crossfire. She was also taken to the hospital. We learned from the army that bradford had enlisted but didnt complete his training. It is not clear if Police Believe that he may have fired any of the shots during the incident, though they say he was somehow involved. Last we heard, the officer involved in the shooting is on administrative leave while they investigate, fred. Thanks so much. Update us when you get any more information. Joining me, fbi assistant director, cnn senior Law Enforcement analyst tom fuentes. They killed the man they thought was responsible, now theyre going back on that. How is it Something Like this can happen. This is very unusual, isnt it . Yes. Theres so much pressure on police and authorities when theres an officerinvolved shooting to get out as much information as quickly as they can, even if it involves some kind of speculation or theyre jumping to conclusion that this must have happened, and this is an example where these issues are complicated, they need to be investigated, and the police should have said it will be investigated. Were not sure exactly what happened and well let you know when we have a better idea of what happened. So thats the problem here. Now, you know, headlines about this make it sound like the police just gunned somebody down that turns out to be the wrong guy. On the other hand, if the deceased person was involved in the original altercation, had a gun, maybe fired shots, we dont know, then was fleeing, and then confronted by an officer and didnt surrender, didnt drop his gun, you could see where a mistake could be made like that. But it doesnt sound like thats the case. Thats the point. Were going by what it sounds like and what we think happened and what the Police Conclusion was in that mall at that time with everything going on. It just needs to be investigated. Hoover police issuing a statement, theyre not going to be investigating this, it will be investigated by the county police and if necessary the state police, and if necessary the fbi, if it turns into a civil rights case. At this point we just dont know enough to know for sure the circumstances that led to bradford being shot. Right. And clearly we dont know a lot. And thats why theyre continuing to have these questions. Are you surprised a police would make this admission so soon as opposed to making the admission much later as they learn more about the overall investigation. What does it tell you that theyre willing, theres a willingness now to say this is not the alleged gunman. No, i think they had to. The initial reporting, if it comes out and looks like they gunned down the gunman, the person responsible in the altercation for wounding and hospitalizing the other individuals, then for the publics sake, it is like the search is over. Now theyre saying wait a minute, we have a gunman at large who has not been apprehended, has not been publicly identified yet. So the public needs to be aware of that. I think that the second press release they put out was necessary because of the mistake in the first press release. I think it is just better at this point that they say look, it is more complex than we thought at first blush, and we have the county, independent agency investigating this, lets let them do their work before we jump to more conclusions in this case. And because the alleged gunman is still out there, obviously police will be counting on witnesses, people at the mall at that moment to perhaps provide some sort of information . Not just witnesses but there should be security cameras all over the inside of that mall, all over the parking lot outside that mall where they might see the person that ran out and what kind of vehicle he may have gotten into. They may have more just from studying that but we dont know that yet, and at this point theyre going to be cautious in any future press releases until they have information thats verified. Tom, thanks so much. Youre welcome. Were also following this breaking news out of paris. Angry protests over rising gas prices have turned violent. Police are using tear gas and Water Cannons as thousands protest on the champselysees. Protesters are venting anger over increased prices for diesel and also protesting against the french president , emanuel macrons environmental policies. Gas in paris already costs more than 5. 50 a gallon. Officials say two people have died so far in the unrest that began last week. Cnn Senior International correspondent Jim Bittermann is live for us in paris. Jim, protests are not unusual overall in paris but theres something distinctively different about this one. Whats going on . Reporter absolutely, fredricka. The most distinctive thing, the fact that theres not an established leader, not a union behind this, nothing thats an organizational tool the government can get its hands around, it is spontaneous protests by a lot of different people. We have been watching this the last seven hours. Theres been confrontations between the police and demonstrators who are wearing yellow vests which all french motorists have to have in their car. As a consequence easy for someone to take part in the movement, show where their sent meants are. Gas prices was the beginning of it, now in the week that passed since the original protest, there are a number of people that joined for other reenasons rising cost of living, pensioners worried about pensions, a number of different reen reasons. Hearing chants of basically macron quit, resign from the presidency. Thats not likely to happen. Next week on tuesday, basically calm the situation i think, well see what happens tuesday. Theyre not saying exactly what it will be. Ironically, fredricka, a few moments ago the Christmas Lights on the champselysees went on. They were lit for the first time thursday, which usually marks beginning of the shopping season, but i can tell you something, there are not many shoppers on the avenue today. Fredricka . You can see from the wide shot, you see beautiful red lights, contrast that with some of the unrest. Then i wonder, jim, earlier i saw pictures of people who were presumably putting trash or making piles later to ignite and you had authorities that were also there, so what are the boundaries or what is accepted when it comes to protests, organizing the intent behind putting the trash and then burning, does that lead to arrests, does that make the protest that much more volatile for Law Enforcement there even . Reporter well, so far there havent been that many arrests, about 35 arrests nationwide and about 18 in paris. In any case we seem to feel, just a feeling about it, that the police are laying back as long as the protesters dont attack high value shops on the champselysees. Theyre burning barriers, construction barricades along the avenue here, and about the most damage theyve done is they set fire to a construction crane a few minutes ago, burned out the crane, the cab of the crane. Thats about the most distinctive damage we have seen. I have a feeling we will see some insurance claims nonetheless from a number of different businesses along the way, restaurant awnings have been burned, chairs stolen, taken, and theres been some damage, probably not as much as there could have been, fredricka. Okay. Jim bittermann, thank you so much. Also the root cause of the sounds were hearing in the background, too.

The federally mandated study details devastating impacts of Global Warming if left unchecked. The report warns Climate Change could have a catastrophic effect on human health, quality of life, and the u. S. Economy. The grim findings run counter to President Trumps consistent message that Climate Change is a hoax. Lets bring in cnn senior White House Correspondent jeff zeleny in west palm beach, near where President Trump is spending the holiday weekend. Jeff, has the white house responded to the report . This is one that is congressionally backed, federally mandated to have the report, it has happened before in years past, but now how is the white house responding to this one . Reporter well, good morning, fredricka. This is a product of the Trump Administration. Some 13 federal agencies come together to produce the report. In effect, it is a product of the white house, of the Trump Administration, but of course it is at odds with the president s policies as you said. The president has been utterly silent about this report. Whenever he wants to speak about something, he certainly finds a way to do it, but he has been quiet about this entirely. There was a statement from the white house yesterday that said it is largely based on a scenario, worst case scenario, and it started under the obama administration, so they want to give some more time if you will to have a better sense of this. The reality is the evidence is by preponderance that the climate is changing and the economic argument is a strong one, one we dont hear the president talk about in terms of effect on the economy of changing climate. Well see if the president says anything. As of today, he has not said a word. He is enjoying warm weather in florida now. One has to wonder if he got a heads up that the conclusion was coming. Meantime, jeff, the president has also asked the u. S. Supreme court to take up his transgender military ban after blocked in the lower courts. Is it likely the Supreme Court will take up this case . Reporter it is unclear if they will or not. This is why. This is an unusual thing the white house is asking the Supreme Court to do, theres not been a ruling from an appeals court. Theyre asking the Supreme Court to bypass the normal route it would go from federal judge to appellate court. The white house is not pleased with court of appeals, the president made it clear all week, 9th Circuit Court of appeals. The white house is trying to go to the Supreme Court. Their argument is it is of you are you are jenlt nature to do it. The president made no secret of his distakdain for them largely immigration matters. On this himself, he has been quiet. So far as we speak, no tweets at all from the president. Finally enjoying a day of rest on this thanksgiving holiday, heading back to washington after the weekend. All right. Jeff zeleny, thanks so much. Lets talk about all of this. With me, lynn sweet, Washington Bureau of the chicago sun times. Good to see you. Lets begin with reaction after the president s attempt to go around lower courts, take his transgender ban to the Supreme Court. Why does he see this as more advantageous for him to take this route . Well, it is because he wants to avoid a ruling in the two circuits where he thinks he is at a disadvantage. Theres three cases, in the 9th and d. C. Circuit. Whats interesting in the petition thats filed in the court is that these cases are called that the court needs to act on the mattis policy, dealing with transgenders, when everyone knows it started with a tweet from the president. I think this is a Supreme Court brief that shows the pictures of the twitter posts from trump in it. So the scheme that the Trump Administration wants is to find a way to get around the 9th circuit and the d. C. Courts. As jeff has said and as youre asking me, i think the reason is as obvious as trump himself has said, he wants a work around. The judges on the Supreme Court dont do work arounds to get cases out of appellate judges that a plaintiff or defendant somebody in his world has to know that, has to have conveyed that to him, you cant just say Supreme Court, handle this, lets just put this on the docket. And to have it handled as this emergency treatment, it just is something that the Justice Department and attorneys are going along with because the boss is ordering it. What we are seeing is a new chapter, i dont know how it will end, where trump steps up his criticism of judges all the way up to the Supreme Court. And a few days ago, Justice Roberts has reacted. If he continues on this attack on a circuit he deems is against him, what will happen. People do form shopping all the time. There are cases that people advocate conservative causes, bring in texas. This is form shopping. It happens. And you dont always know what Appellate Panel youre going to get, but you can game the system a but, but not the way the president is trying to do it when he has already stated in advance, this is where in his own words impale him sometimes, judges dont work in a vacuum. They know why he wants to avoid the 9th circuit. Lets talk about this Climate Change study, the National Climate assessment publication. The fourth comprehensive look at Climate Change, how it impacts the United States, and just about everything in it thus far is contrary to what the president espoused to be his belief. This report would be released on black friday. There are a lot of things here. A, that it would be released on a black friday holiday weekend, and that it would be released contrary to what the houwhite he and the president s view is. Whats behind this . Whats behind it, there are even some things that President Trump cant control in government, and there are reports that have to be disclosed and they are. He tried of course to act like a king and just ignore rules, procedures, institutions that churn out reports. I dont put too much on that it was released on black friday when people arent paying attention because people will be paying attention, especially when the democrats take over the house in january and youll hear more from people like former Vice President al gore who has been a Climate Change crusader. The fact that the report came out on a friday where people werent paying attention right now, i dont think thats going to halt it. I dont know if theres anything in there that will persuade trump to change his mind, but the report nonetheless could go perhaps a way toward changing other people. Does it say anything about the agencies involved here, 13 federal departments and agencies
