Two men shot and killed in broad daylight today, one of them the leader of a muslim house of worship. This happened this afternoon in queens. Both men shot in the head. Their killer, according to police, are still at large. Our sara ganim is live with more. Are police describing any motive right now . Reporter poppy, at this Moment Police are not going there. Theyre saying theyre continuing to investigate. You can see them doing that here
behind us, as theyre looking at the crime scene. They know around 2 00 two men, one is a local imam loved in this community, and his neighbor walking down the street, leaving the mosque on their way home just a few blocks away. Someone approached them from behind. They were shot in the head. One of them died shortly after the incident. Another one was confirmed just moments ago by the nypd at a press conference, that he also died. Here is what police are saying. They know there were witnesses who saw a man fleeing the scene with a gun. They have Surveillance Video that shows a man at the scene fleeing with a gun. But no rearrests have been madet this point. Theyre not talking about a motive. They say nothing was taken from the two men. Investigators say theres nothing preliminarily that shows that they were targeted. They say theyre looking into
the possibility that there was a dispute at the mosque. Thats something according to a Law Enforcement source who talked to a producer at cnn. Theres a lot of questions as Police Continue to investigate. You can tell no matter what happened, this is a tragic thing for this community. People have gathered here. They are calling for justice. They are mourning, theyre reacting, because this was a local religious leader and its a sad and scary thing that he was gunned down in the street, poppy. Sara ganim for us in queens, new york. Again, the headline, two men, one of them an imam, murdered in broad daylight in queens. And you hear some of the people who have gathered there chanting we want justice. Of course it is early hours, police are just starting their investigation. Well bring you more on this as soon as we have it. Sara, thank you very much. To politics now. Weve just learned well see the
tax returns of a candidate on the republican ticket. But its not donald trump. Jeremy diamond is live in fairfield, connecticut for us tonight, where trump is expected to take the stage at any moment. As we await donald trump, mike pence coming out and saying he will release his tax returns. Reporter thats right, poppy. Mike pence saying on a radio show this afternoon that he plans to release his tax returns before election day. I spoke with a spokesman who confirmed to me that pence does plan to release his tax returns before them. Thats notable because Hillary Clinton and tim kaine released theirs yesterday. Donald trump has said he will not. You also have tim kaine, the democratic vice pretsidential nominee, saying during a Campaign Stop that donald trump
has to release his tax returns. Even Richard Nixon released his tax returns because he said, as has every major nominee of both parties since, the American Public have a right to see my tax returns, they should see what my financial status is, they should see who i have connections with, they should see if i am paying the taxes that support our veterans, that support our military. Reporter donald trump meanwhile has said that he will not release his tax returns while they are still under audit by the irs. Now actually his tax returns have been under audit since 2009, so that means its highly unlikely that before the election well see Donald Trumps tax returns, at least for recent years, before the election, if he sticks to that logic, poppy. Jeremy diamond live in fairfield. Lets discuss with tom low lo
bianco. Thank you, gentlemen, both for being with me tonight. Andy, let me begin with you. So mike pence comes out and says hes going to release his tax returns before the election. Does that put a significant amount of pressure on trump to release his . Well, theres already pressure on him to do it. I think the problem is that nows running mates doing it. Yeah, but if youre in an audit and the irs has questions about matters in your return and youre trying to explain them, you dont want that to happen in public. The way to resolve this would be for the irs to finish their audit, if theyve been working on it since 2009, they must be close to a conclusion. Wrap it up, and theres no reason not to disclose the tax returns. We have not seen the audit letter from trump, which everyone who is being audited gets an audit letter. I think a lot of people would like to see the audit letter. But aside from that, there are things, andy, that he could do,
right, he could release his marginal tax rate, he could release just his charitable contributions. I dont know what is in dispute with the Internal Revenue service. For example, the marginal rate might change based upon what they do at the irs. 2009 is seven years of tax returns. You cant release this piecemeal until you know what the irs are going to do with it. Its even unfair to the irs if you start releasing things publicly, then the irs is under pressure to resolve or not resolve an issue, and its certainly unfair to mr. Trump. Wrap it up, and he can release his tax returns. Tom, there is nothing about
an audit that prevents anyone from releasing their tax returns to the public. A lot of trump surrogates say its just the media, who cares among the public. Do you think mike pence releasing his is antithetical to that argument, because its in essence saying it matters to the public so im going to do it . Governor pence is in a very interesting position. He wants to win and get in the white house. On the other hand, he has his own career to think about here. He has to make politically the correct call, clearly thats releasing the tax returns. This is a wellestablished thing. And, you know, the bigger problem here is that the longer that trump holds out on this, and that you have the democrats keep beating him over the head with this, and then you haveSomething Like this today where governor pence comes out and says, yeah, ill go ahead and release my returns, that detracts from their campaign message. You have covered mike pence in his role as governor very closely. I wonder what you make of the fact that he seemingly, if probably inadvertently, boxed trump into a corner with this. Well, you know, thats the kind of thing where, looking forward, that might have been a mistake by him. But clearly he has his own career to worry about as well. Its a funny balancing act that needs to happen. Again, governor pence making the right call. This is the second time weve seen Something Like this. He came out and endorsed paul ryan. He said that he would support mccain and kelly ayotte. Weve seen him break with trump on this thing. And its awkward, to say the least. It puts trump in a strange position. You know, youve got to wonder how many more of these are we going to see . A lot of trump advisers will remind us that trump is a political novice, he hasnt done these things before. To be fair, he did incredibly well in the primary. And i get it, the general is a totally different game. Trump believes, and the New York Times outlined it in an article today, talking about 20 people in the campaign, that he believes, what got me to win in the primary will help me win in the general. Andy, lets talk about these battleground polls. A real struggle for donald trump in colorado, florida, north carolina, virginia, trailing clinton significantly, especially in north carolina, nine points behind her in a state that romney won in 2012. Youre an adviser to the campaign. This is on top of comments from trump this week when he said, look, im concerned about utah, were having a tough time in utah, arizona, virginia. What does he need to do to turn those numbers around . He needs to stay on message. He needs to talk about the economy, the economy, and talk about the economy again. He can go into some of the clinton corruption allegations if he feels the need to do so. But i think a focus on the economy is absolutely Donald Trumps best path to win this election. So why isnt he talking about it more . He gave a speech in detroit, but he really could have hammered and doubled down on the really anemic gdp report a few weeks ago. He could focus a lot more on wage growth not being what it needs to be. Why doesnt he just hammer home on those things . Well, another thing he could hammer home on is Hillary Clintons plan that she released which basically was a tax and spend plan where hes got a growth plan. I wish he would do that. I have ive encouraged people in the campaign. I think he knows it, the people in the campaign know it, and i think well see more of it in
the coming week. I know hes giving a big policy speech on isis monday in ohio. Well see if theres more of a focus on the issues ahead. Andy, thank you. Youll be back with my in just a little bit. Tom, thank you as well. Coming up this hour, were watching fairfield, connecticut, where at any moment donald trump will take the stage. Well take you there live.

All right, an update now on the terrible flooding in louisiana that has claimed at least two lives. First, the dramatic rescue caught on camera, a man in baton rouge had to tear open the convertible top of a sinking car to save a woman and her dog today. Watch. Get that [ muted ] dog now here. Here unbelievable. That woman was concerned about her dog, as you heard her calling, get my dog, get my dog, for the first tense moments. She even wanted to dive back into the water to try to rescue her dog. Thankfully her rescuer was able
to save both of them. Just incredible. It gives you a sense of the magnitude of this historic flooding in louisiana right now. The governor there calling a state of emergency for the next month in response. Our Boris Sanchez is in the flood zone with more. Boris . Reporter poppy, now that the floodwaters are starting to recede in some parts of louisiana, were getting a sense of how bad this flooding was, how strong these waters were. Were in an industrial yard here in louisiana. Thats a body shop. You see that pickup truck crushed like a childs toy, flipped over. There was a tractor in this area earlier, helping people get across this flooded area. The truck got stuck in the water and had to be pulled out itself. You see huge pieces of asphalt that have just been lifted off the ground and tossed around like pieces of paper onto the
street. I want to point something out, you see it across the street here in that area just off the street, that white pickup truck, that was actually a man that was trying to cross the road while it was flooded out. He clearly did not make it across. He had to be rescued by officials. One of the 1,000 rescues that firefighters, paramedics, and other emergency officials have had to make here in louisiana, because of this devastating flooding. The last thing i want to point out, poppy, across the street, that trailer, i spoke to the guy that lived in that trailer. He kept it across the street here in the industrial part. Fortunately he didnt spend the night here last night. He says it ran more than 120 yards and got smashed against the trees over there. Ive asked him how he felt, seeing his home and state in disarray. Here is what he said. Its terrible. The gentleman who has that tractor right there, he lost his house in the flood back in march, he just a couple of weeks
ago got his house back in order. Hes lost everything. He has six, eight inches of water in his house. Its terrible. These people, its just its a sad thing to see. Reporter the major concern now are the cities and towns south of here, poppy, all the water here has continued moving in that direction. The other question is when will the rain finally stop . Its settled down, now its falling yet again. Experts tell us it will continue until at least monday, poppy. Thank you, boris. Still ahead, were watching fairfield, connecticut, where at any moment donald trump will take the stage. Why is he campaigning in a state that is solidly blue .

Hillary clinton to donald trump on tax returns basically saying, now its your turn. Clinton released her 2015 tax returns yesterday. They revealed that she and her husband made about 10. 5 million last year. They paid just about 31 in taxes. And just tonight, trumps running mate, mike pence, says he will release his tax returns for the election. So where does that leave donald trump . Our brian todd has more on that. Hi, brian. Poppy, donald trump has found a lot of different ways to dance around releasing his tax returns and to avoid a clear explanation for why he hasnt released them. Right now the candidate is under more pressure than ever for a full accounting. Reporter donald trump promised he would release his tax returns to the public. But that was a year and a half ago. Then at the start of 2016, trump
said he was working on it, saying the information was approved and, quote, very beautiful. He went from that to downplaying it. Theres nothing. Reporter then a familiar deflection. Trump says a longrunning audit by the irs is delaying the returns. It would be crazy to give the papers before the audit has been completed. Reporter he got defensive about it when speaking to abc. What is your tax rate . Its none of your business. Youll see it when i release it. Reporter and hes floated theories but why hes being audited. Maybe its religion, maybe Something Else. What do you mean, religion . Because of the fact that im a strong christian, i feel strongly about it, and maybe theres a bias. I think hes demagoguing that issue, when hes defensive, he reacts irrationally. Reporter still no release of tax returns from donald trump. Is he legally prevented from
releasing them during an audit . Theres no legal reason why mr. Trump couldnt release his tax returns now. Its perfectly allowable for him to do so. Reporter is trump being being audited by the irs . You know, i get audited every single year. Reporter trump has offered a letter from his tax lawyers saying to him in march saying, quote, examinations for returns in the 2009 year and forward are ongoing. But is there a letter from the irs to trump specifically saying hes being audited . The irs says its not allowed to tell us. Trumps campaign and his lawyers arent telling us either. And the political pressure on the gop nominee is building. I think youre going to keep seeing the democrats continue to hit this because they do sense there is a vulnerability here. Reporter trumps tax returns might confirm whether hes as rich as he says he is, gives as much to charity as he says he does, and might reveal who he does business with, where his interests lie. Still, one prominent tax Attorney Says he would advise trump not to release it. Thousands, millions of people would be looking at it and would probably see transactions that are legitimate but look straining to someone not trained in the tax field. That would raise a public outcry. Reporter trump could get around that. He could release other basic figures without releasing his actual tax returns. He could release figures on his adjusted income, on his charitable contributions. He could come out and say what his tax rate is. We asked his campaign to give us that information. They declined, saying, again, that the nominee is undergoing what they call, quote, a routine audit, and hell release those returns when thats an all done, poppy. We just havent seen any evidence of the audit, no audit letter has been presented from the trump camp. Well keep asking for it. Thank you, brian todd.
