Before with instructions to their followers on how to carry out such an attack. It was less than 24 hours ago that the suspect plowed his truck into bicyclists and pedestrians just blocks away from the World Trade Center in lower manhattan. Police immediately rushed to the scene. Central, be advised we have multiple people on the ground from chambers all of the way up to halston. Multiple people on the ground. We need buses all of the way from halston to chambers. We have multiple casualties. This a mass casualty situation here. Eight people were killed. 11 people were injured. Some of them critically. Our correspondent jean casarez is on the scene for us in new york right now. Jean, tell us what else we learned about the suspect. Did the fbi have information about him . Reporter thats right. What we learned today is really the criminal investigation, the crime scene processing is in high gear. While the suspect remains at the hospital and he has been arrested, it was confirmed today that the note that was found outside the truck that he rented at home depot yesterday in new jersey said in essence isis the state of isis will endure forever. We also learned that there were knives found inside and outside that vehicle and the two weapons that he was brandishing when he came out of that truck moments before he was shot by an nypd officer, it was a paintball gun and a bb gun. They were not real but Everything Else was. And the crime scene thats being processed now is about a block and a half away. Its the primary scene. It is still cordoned off. They are processing that truck, executing a search warrant. Along with search warrants executed at his home in new jersey where he lives with his wife and three children and his personal vehicle at home depot. We also learned in this press conference that federal prosecutors specializing in terrorism had been meeting with the nypd special Surveillance Team as well as the fbi in executing and getting judges to sign off on these search warrants to determine, wolf, if federal terrorism charges are warranted in this case. You know, we also learned, jean, that that note that you referred to, john miller counterterrorism chief for nypd disclosing that note. Islamic state will endure forever. He said thats the gist of the note. It was also written in arabic. We know that after he jumped out of that truck he was heard screaming in arabic. They say he followed almost exactly to the t what isis instructed supporters, its followers to do. Whats significant is he planned this for weeks and that he did have connections to people according to authorities who were subject of other terrorism investigations. What else do we know about that . Reporter thats right. Thats why we know they are attempting to interview and find friends, family members, associates, and points of contact that they believe that he has been involved with. They also are doing a social media search. They have found social media sites connected to him that they are connected to isis inspired websites. They are looking at all of that. They want to construct the time line, they say. They are working their way back to develop that time line of what he did, when he did it, and how he did it. And we have been able to associate him living in three states, ohio, and that was in 2013. We know he was married in ohio. We also know that his license was from florida, and most recently new jersey. He put as his occupation in ohio as a truck driver, but we were able to confirm with uber in new jersey that he currently was a driver for them. Now suspended. They say he passed the background check and there were never any complaints. But that is what we know a little bit about maybe his public persona. Jean casarez, thanks very much. Sayfullo saipov, 29 years old, came to the United States seven years ago from uzbekistan. President trump is now demanding immediate action from congress to overhaul the immigration system of the United States. Moments ago, we heard the president lay out some of those demands. I am today starting the process of terminating the Diversity Lottery Program. Im going to ask congress to immediately initiate work to get rid of this program. Diversity lottery. Diversity lottery. Sounds nice. Its not nice. Its not good. Its not good. It hasnt been good. Weve been against it. So we want to immediately work with congress on the Diversity Lottery Program on terminating it, getting rid of it. We want a merit based program. Lets go to our senior White House Correspondent jim acosta. The president offered his condolences to the victims families. He called the attack suspect an animal. What else is he demanding from congress . Reporter it didnt take long for President Trump to inject politics into the aftermath of this terror attack in new york city. As you heard there a few moments ago, he wants to use this terrorist attack toll rapidly redraw this countrys immigration system. You heard him say there that he wanted to get rid of this Diversity Lottery Program thats been around for a couple decades. Its a program that grants visas to people in parts of the world that essentially dont really exist in this country. Essentially to provide more diversity in the United States. He wants to get rid of that program and get rid of chain migration which allows immigrants coming into the country to bring in their relatives and he wants to change the immigration system over to a merit based immigration system. Thats very similar to what his top policy adviser, steven miller, was proposing here at the white house a couple months ago, which caused a lot of controversy. Its not clear at all whether republicans, even republicans up on capitol hill, have the appetite for that kind of immigration overhaul at this point. The fate of the dreamers is still up in the air at this moment. During the president s comments, he lashed out at what he believes to be one of the contributing factors of what happened in new york city and that is political correctness. Heres what he had to say. We have to get much tougher. We have to get much smarter. And we have to get much less politically correct. Were so politically correct that were afraid to do anything. Thats not only in our country. Thats other countries t, too, that are having similar problems. We have to get tough and get smart and do whats right to protect our citizens. Perhaps even more alarming, wolf, in addition to those comments the president made there, he also referred to the u. S. Justice system as a joke and a laughing stock and said that he believes that this terror suspect should be sent down to guantanamo. When he was asked whether or not he believes the relatives of this suspect could pose a Terror Threat, he said they certainly could. He obviously did not offer any kind of evidence to that effect, but, wolf, its very important to point out, i think, in the aftermath of the Las Vegas Attack where a lot of people were talking about restricting firearms, the president said he wanted to wait for a debate on that legislative issue but yet in just the hours after this terror attack in new york city, hes talking about a rapid overhaul of the nations immigration system and calling the u. S. Justice system a laughing stock. Today is a month since the Las Vegas Attack. About 500 people were shot. Almost 100 were killed. The president said wait before the u. S. Should do anything about changing the laws but now hes immediately responding. Among other things, hes saying that he wants a merit based system for people to come to the United States meaning they should have some education. They should speak english among other things. He doesnt want whats called chaining ing mmigration and su this individual suspect, Sayfullo Saipov, came to the United States seven years ago and 23 other relatives of his were allowed to come along. Is that what the president is saying . Thats what hes so angry about . Reporter thats what hes angry about. Officials with the administration have not laid that out before us. That is why you have the democratic leader in the senate, Chuck Schumer, lashing out at the president. First, the president went after Chuck Schumer and blamed Chuck Schumer for this diversity lottery system. Wolf, thats been in place for more than 20 years. Republicans and democrats brought it about. Wolf, in 2008 when this when the gang of eight tried to bring back immigration reform, they tried to get rid of this Diversity Lottery Program so there have been republican and democratic efforts to initiate that program and bipartisan efforts to eliminate that program and in response to the president s attack against him, Chuck Schumer just told reporters in the last hour or so the president should stop tweeting and start leading. I want to be precise. 58 people were killed in las vegas. Nearly 500 people were shot all together. He did say in response to a question Lindsey Graham is bringing up the notion that this suspect, Sayfullo Saipov, should maybe be tried as an enemy combatant. The president said he was open to sending the suspect to Guantanamo Bay to the u. S. Naval facility there, prison at allegheny b Guantanamo Bay. Tell us what he said. They believe the terror suspect should be transferred to guantanamo and treated as an enemy combatant. The president sounded open to that. The president can seek to reform the nations immigration system. He can call the u. S. Justice system a joke. There is a system in place for dealing with terror suspects like the one in new york city. They can be declared enemy combatants. They can be transferred to guantanamo. That terror Attention Center was not closed by president obama despite that was one of his key promises during his two terms in office. And so the system that is in place right now for going after terrorists across the world is that, yes, they can be treated as enemy combatants and transferred to guantanamo. It sounds like the president is open to that possibility. He told reporters that exact thing just a few moments ago, wolf. He certainly did. He said hes open to that. He would consider that. He really went after the democrats at one point saying the democrats dont want to do whats right for our country because they oppose his proposals to change the immigration system here in the United States. Jim acosta at the white house. Thanks very much. The suspect, Sayfullo Saipov, used a truck to orchestrate this deadly terror attack. Deadliest terror attack on new york since 9 11. Seems to be part of a rising trend. Look at the numbers of attacks since 2014 where vehicles were used as a weapon of choice. Lets discuss this with our cnn terrorism analyst Paul Crookshank joining from us london and former attorney for the National Security agency Susan Hennessy and mary ellen, a former fbi profiler and former fbi special agent. Paul, this tactic that weve seen using a vehicle, a car or a truck, to go out there and kill people. Isis has been promoting it. Other terror groups have been promoting it as well. Weve seen it not only in europe, now here in the United States. Weve seen it in the middle east. There were several such attacks in israel. Why has this tactic spread so quickly . Because its been incredibly deadly and incredibly effective and isis recognized this and so theyve heavily promoted it. They continuously promote this as a tactic and about a year ago in november ahead of the macys day parade on thanksgiving, isis put out a threepage how too in one of its magazines and the instructions in that magazine mirror almost exactly what we saw took place on the streets of new york yesterday and john miller at the nypd referenced that saying that they followed isis instructions to a t right down to the exact wording in his note that isis would endure forever. That is something isis itself suggested that people should write. Isis saying that whoever carried out these attacks should write a lot of notes in handwriting and throw them out of the vehicle after they launched the attack. So great similarity between what happened and this particular manual. You have to assume this individual read those specific pages and then went into action, wolf. Unfortunately this is a manner which is easy to access. A few clicks and you can get it. Thats one of the big problems with this fight against terrorism right now is theres so much terrorism content, howto material online. As you point out, john miller counterterrorism chief and Nypd New York Police Department appears to have followed almost exactly to a t the instructions that isis put out on its social Media Channels on how to carry out an attack. Susan, listen to what the new york governor, andrew cuomo, said about this. He is a depraved coward is what he is. And he was associated with isis, and he was radicalized domestically. And is a depraved coward. They try to create terror. Its not the first time. Its a global phenomenon now. Its all through europe, et cetera. He says he was homegrown radicalization. He was radicalized domestically meaning here in the United States. Hes been in the United States for seven years. How do you identify a threat like that . This is one of the most vexing Law Enforcement challenges. Weve seen a dozen or so of these terror attacks over the last five or six years. One of the challenges are two points which Law Enforcement can potentially thwart or identify this kind of plot. One is if an individual happens to be in communication with the target of another investigation. Either within the United States or abroad. There are some early reporting that indicates that might have actually been the case here. He might have been on federal authoritys radar screen, or you can try and identify them at the point in which they attempt to obtain instrumentality of committing that crime. You cant buy large amounts of fertilizer or weapons that might trigger heightened scrutiny. The problem with vehicular attacks is barrier to entry is so low. In some of these cases the cars are rented so theres been focus on whether or not you could potentially create some sort of Warning System at that point but often times these cars are personally owned or are stolen so makes it really, really difficult for Law Enforcement to identify these kinds of plots ahead of time and prevent them. Maryellen, the suspect was shot by a new York City Police officer in the abdomen taken to the hospital in new york. Were told he is cooperating somewhat with Law Enforcement. What kinds of questions are investigators asking him at this early very delicate stage . I think the first approach before they started to ask him questions would be to make sure that he understood the amount and depth of the evidence that they have against him. They dont want to waste any time. They dont want to start with question, answer, question, answer. They want him to understand the level of seriousness that this case is and the consequences for him and possibly even for members of his family so they will attempt to overwhelm him with that and then they will begin to ask him questions relative to his contacts because, frankly, they have the evidence that they can use against him concerning the murders and attempted murders, so theyll be more interested in who are your contacts, who did you talk to . Who knew about this . Who is planning Something Else . Everybody standby. Were going to get back to you. Were also getting some more breaking news. Were just getting word that a black taxi cab has mounted the pavement in the garden in london. Were gathering facts. Well go there. Stand by. Well be right back. That cough doesnt sound so good. Take mucinex dm. Ill text you in 4 hours when your cough returns. One pill lasts 12 hours, so. Looks like im good all night why take 4hour cough medicine . Just one mucinex lasts 12 hours. Lets end this. Did yon the National Debt . Ssman get elected by talking tough will they stay true to their words . Or did they promise you one thing. Only to do another . Right now, congress is talking about tax cuts that will add trillions to our National Debt and hurt our economy. Its time to tell congress. Dont borrow more money from china. And leave more debt to our kids. Keep your word. Tax cuts shouldnt add to the National Debt. I just want to find a used car without getting ripped off. You could start your search at the allnew carfax. Com that might help. Show me the carfax. Now the car you want and the history you need are easy to find. Show me used trucks with one owner. Pretty cool. [laughs] ah. Ahem. Show me the carfax. Start your used car search and get free carfax reports at the allnew carfax. Com. avo but you also have a higher risk of heart attack or stroke.

Were getting word that a black taxi cab has mounted the garden in london. Police are on the scene. Were gathering details. Well get more information and share it with you as soon as we know precisely whats going on. Standby for that. In the meantime, President Trump is now demanding a Major Overhaul of the nations immigration policy in the wake of the new york city terror attacks. Specifically, he wants to eliminate a program hes blaming solely on democrats. The terrorists came into the country called visa Lottery Program. A Chuck Schumer beauty. To be accurate, the visa program came out of the senate as part of a larger immigration bill back in 1990. It passed by a very wide margin in the house and the senate. Chuck schumer in the house at the time. He did help craft parts of the bill. It was signed into law in 1990 by then president george h. W. Bush. Important note back in 2013 as part of the gang of eight reform measure, senator schumer sponsored a bill to eliminate the program. A fact pointed out by arizona senator jeff flake who tweeted this. The gang of eight including senator schumer did away with the Diversity Visa Program as part of broader reforms. I know i was there. He added this. In fact, had the senate gang of eight bill passed the house, it would have ended the visa Lottery Program and increased merit based visas. The bill did pass the senate. Never came up for a vote in the house of representatives and just a little while ago, senator schumer responded to the personal attacks by the president. The president ought to stop tweeting and start leading. The American People long for leadership. Not decisiveness. Not finger pointing. Not name calling. This is a tragedy. Its less than a day after it occurred and he cant refrain from his nasty divisive habits. Joining us now, cnn political analyst David Gregory and chief political analyst gloria borger. An end to the visa lottery system. The president wants merit based. Hes going on and on and specifically blaming the democrats. They dont want to do whats right for our country. Thats what he just said. First of all, we need to sort of set the scene here. In the days after the Las Vegas Attack, if you will recall, the white house said it was too soon. Cant talk about any legislative response. Cant talk about politics. Cant get politics into this. And here we are, the president now one day after this attack blaming, you know, the democrats. And to get to your point, wolf, im backing into this, i know, but to get to your point, this was a law that was signed into law by a republican president , passed on a bipartisan vote, was going to be repealed by the gang of 8 and the republican dominated house of representatives did not pass that. So to turn this into a political issue right now is kind of silly. I mean, they should make changes. That should be a debate that they ought to be having whether you need this program anymore. But come on. This isnt politics. Didnt take long for the president to get very, very political in the aftermath of this. The worst terror attack, deadliest terror attack in new york city since 9 11. This is stupid. This back and forth is stupid. Weve just had a tragedy. We had another terrorist attack. What we need is leadership from both parties and from washington while the families involved in this try to get on with their lives and deal with the matter of mourning. There are questions that result from Something Like this. You have someone alive. A perpetrator alive. Whats the best way to find out how he operated, why he operated, who his links are and whether he should be enemy combatant or if existing procedures are good enough. This administration is all over the map on how they cinch down letting people into the country. Its not always relevant what theyre arguing in terms of combatting terror. Thats what ought to be important is how were stringent about keeping the wrong people out of the country and how you ascertain that. Remember, lots of people come in this country and even European Countries they assimilate here. They are not a source of terrorism. We have a wonderful immigration system. We have tight controls. These kinds of events are going to happen. The president would do right now to focus washingtons attention on the best way to try to enhance our capability to learn about these and monitor individuals that come up on the radar to see at what point they become radicalized and are working on the plot. Thats the new point we were discussing before we went on the show. He was radicalized here. Thats different for us. We ought to try to figure out that process and by the way, this is somebody who was vetted before he came into this country. It isnt as if this program just lets people in because we encourage diversity. Youre vetted before you come in. There are lots of issues here they can deal with because hes alive. Hes 29 years old now. Been here for seven years. Clearly he was at least at a minimum inspired by isis. He had a note that was released. John miller, counterterrorism chief nypd said the gist of the note Islamic State will endure forever and miller says he appears to have followed almost exactly to a t the instructions isis put out on its social media channel. Lets Pay Attention to the evolution of the Terror Threat in america alone since 9 11. You are not required to go to training school. You do not need the kind of coordination that al qaeda had. Now you have an ideology thats been around for a long time. You have a caliphate thats crumbled. You still have a Loose Association of ideas around the globe. It doesnt take much to pull them off as weve seen here. Again, it comes back to what kind of leadership do we need right now . These events are going to happen if all you need is a car, they are going to happen and people are going to be terrorized. The effective thing is to think about how do we best its like boston bombing. There are individuals who come up on the radar, how does Law Enforcement and our intelligence communities best track them to see at what point they either coordinate or tell someone else we can get in front of plots. Were not going to be able to do it in a lot of these cases. Thats where the travel ban comes in and question about alienating people in these communities who can help us. Those things are not relevant. The thing that we need Historical Perspective here whether its 9 11, whether it was the one who tried to blow up the airliner over america. Any president is going to have low tolerance for risk. Hes expressing fear and anger of the American People. The fear andeni anger that americans have looking at whats happened in europe with regard to an evolving Terror Threat. You see a fear based response. We saw a lot of that after 9 11. A lot of what the president said will resonate especially with his base when he says the democrats dont want to do whats right for our country. He said we have to get much tougher. We have to get much smarter and less politically correct. He kept calling the suspect an animal. He needs quick justice. We need strong justice the president said. What we have now, the Justice System hes saying is a joke. A laughing stock. Then he said hes open to sending this guy to gitmo and let the west deal with him as an enemy combatant. You know, theres a whole lot he piled in there. First of all, he called his Justice System a joke. I wonder how his attorney general feels about that. And, yes, youre playing to the base when you say this is a matter of political correctness. This isnt a matter of political krengtne correctness. This is matter of being smart. Supporters talk about the travel ban and people oppose the travel ban as a manner of political correctness. Thats not the case. Its complicated to figure out how to do this on our turf. And how to have people in certain communities help us and whats the point of alienating them, which is what, in fact, the president may be doing. I think this is not a partisan issue. This is a bipartisan issue to try to figure out how to make us safe. I would hope the president is not saying that democrats dont want to keep the country safe. Of course they do. He says they dont want to do whats right for the country. Normally after a terror attack like this or horrible tragedy like this, the president of the United States would call the mayor of new york city and call the governor of new york state and express deep condolences and say whatever you need, the federal government is there with you. Well work with you. As far as we know up until this minute, President Trump has not called either the mayor or the governor. That harkens back to a different age. The trump age is different. We talk about it nearly every day. Theres a crassness to him in how he governs the country and leads on the world stage. Thats a decision he made. Politics and support or lack of support will play out as it plays out. Whats important here when we hear the president talk, we have experience now since 9 11. We have to be informed by what weve learned through history just as president bush was regretful calling for Osama Bin Laden dead or alive talking like a cowboy, his own secretary of defense, President Trumps says i dont want to water board. Lets focus on what works. If this suspect can be an enemy combatant and working outside of existing interrogation techniques that are afforded to Law Enforcement by according him his Constitutional Rights as a legal resident, then we can have that debate. We should have that debate. There are lots of people including on cnns air who have the experience, who have been in this terror war for a long time who could focus on what actually works and what doesnt work. Talking about being less politically correct and that, thats not helpful. Thats not leading. Thats not getting to solve the problem. I get back to what the president of the United States said that if hes tried here in the United States, this suspect, Sayfullo Saipov, 29 years old, it could take a long, long time to go through the u. S. Justice system. He could go to gitmo and sit there forever. We need quick justice. Strong justice. Then he said let me get back to the point. He said the u. S. Justice system is a joke. A laughing stock. He said the same thing is going on in europe. You know, are you asking me to explain that . I cant. I just cant explain what hes saying. What this president does in his tweets and today, is he rushes to judgment. The Justice System does not rush. The Justice System, yes, you can complain that the wheels grind exceedingly slow. You can say that. But this is a system that doesnt move quickly for a reason. And the president tweets and the president comes out and says, you know, the system is a joke. We have to send him to gitmo. We have to do this and that. These issues are complicated. Thats what you do in a campaign. You come out. You have something that occurs and candidates often rush to say this is how i would have solved the problem. This is what should be done. Hes not running a campaign anymore. Look, to a certain extent unfortunately, we shouldnt be paying attention to all of these things. Of course our Justice System is not a joke. There could be information gleaned from a trial if he ultimately goes to a trial. The key thing is how do you find out what the suspect knows about other plots, about how he operated, about how isis operates. Thats what you want to find out. Fbi agents interviewing him are gleaning that information and i would wager thats going to come into the public domain. If you want to put him in guantanamo like ksm who orchestrated 9 11 attacks, its because you want to take him off the battlefield. Weve been at that game since 2001. Its not working. Its a place to wharehouse them and not consistent with our freedoms as a country. Thats the key question. How do we learn about what he did and what others might do in the future. What we have now is a joke. A laughing stock. Hes talking about the u. S. Justice system because it takes a long time presumably to prosecute. What hes not doing to your point look, the president is not going big. When you have an attack like this, what America Needs to do is get united. Think constructively. We have to have leaders who pull us together. We have seen that in our recent past. Were not seeing it now. Thats unfortunate. Why wouldnt he say we have a Justice System. We have the best Law Enforcement in the world. We have someone now who is alive who can help us figure out exactly how to proceed. Were all praying for people to recover. Instead he goes on the attack because he doesnt want to be blamed for what occur fred. Democrats dont want to do whats right for our country. Standby. More breaking news were getting information on the investigation into the new york city terror attack including President Trump saying the suspect brought 23 other people with him into the United States. And new cnn reporting on the russia investigation and the Campaign Adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about his russian contacts. Were now hearing how the president responded when the idea of his meeting with russian president putin was raised. Good news from london. Police there say that a cab mounting the pavement in the garden area was an accident and not, repeat, not terror related. A car accident in london not terror related but it does sk d underscore how jittery everybody is with vehicles. Were learning now details about Paul Manafort. One of the first people indicted in the federal investigation into possible collusion between the campaign and russia. Those details, like his possession of three different passpor passports, u. S. Passports, may explain why manafort is under house arrest with bond set at 10 million. Jessica schneider joins us with more. What other details are emerging with those passports and also an issue with a phone . Prosecutors argued that Paul Manafort was a flight risk. Now we find out why. Not only did he have three different u. S. Passports with different numbers but he submitted ten passport applications over the past ten or more years. Court documents say he traveled all over the globe in the past year. It was this right here using a fake name in phone and email when he traveled to mexico, china and ecuador over the last year that is really raising some questions. Prosecutors say they are concerned about that. Also, in addition, details are coming out about the other Campaign Aide charged. Rick gates. Prosecutors say he had 55 Bank Accounts can 13 financial institutions. Some of those accounts were in cypress where gates and manafort traveled frequently. Both traveling around the world in the past year. More details just like this, wolf, could come out tomorrow when both men appear in court. Is there anything anew on the money . The indictments mentioned 75 million that were allegedly laundered in various ways. The indictment actually put it this way. It said manafort used his hidden overseas wealth to enjoy a lauvish lifestyle in the unitd states. New Court Filings show that manaforts net worth is proving tough to pin down. He allegedly put widely varying amounts in different financial documents. For example, last november he listed his assets totally 25 million but just a few months earlier he listed value of assets at 136 million. Rick gates, similar story. His personal finances and holdings are also significant. Althou although they vary. Prosecutors say he listed his net worth as 30 million at a filing in february 2016 different than other times he reported. The vast reported wealth of both of these men did lead to that decision to place them under house arrest. There was concern from the government that they might flee the country if these restrictions werent put in place. Manafort with 10 million bail. Gates with 5 million bail. Jessica schneider, thanks very much. We also have brand new details emerging about former Foreign Policy adviser George Papadopoulos role with the campaign. The White House Press secretary referred to him as a volunteer and claimed he only attended one meeting but cnn learned that is not the case. Lets go straight to our senior Congressional Correspondent on capitol hill. Tell us what else youve been able to find out. Reporter thats not the case. More than one meeting that George Papadopoulo did attend and that group, that National Security group met roughly five or six times, wolf, and George Papadopoulo came to two meetings, were told, by a source at the meeting and at the meeting at least two of those meetings were jeff session sess. In one key exchange that occurred in a march 2016 meeting when then candidate trump appeared alongside his National Security team, George Papadopoulo. Mr. Papadopoulos proposed a meeting. We have not known how trump responded to that proposal. We learned the president was open to the idea. He did not rule it out or dismiss it out of hand even seeming to suggest that it is something he could possibly do but as a conversation continued in the room, were told that sessions rejected that idea and said they should not move forward. This is raising a host of new questions on capitol hill after sessions, you recall, wolf, when he testified before multiple congressional committees saying he did not recall key conversations with russians and some Senate Democrats raising questions about that as well including Richard Bloomenthal saying this earlier today. I know youre working your sources. Well have much more coming up on breaking news involving the new york city terror attack. Fbi agents swarming the home of the suspect. Were now hearing from his former neighbors about what they saw, what they heard. Were getting new information. Stay with us. Patrick woke up with a sore back. But hes got work to do. So he took aleve this morning. If hed taken tylenol, hed be stopping for more pills right now. Only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill.
