Job they did. Its tragic. But they did an incredible job. Laura we now go to alicia acuna live in odessa, texas, with more on this. Reporter hi, laura. And in that News Conference that wrapped up in the last hour, to december saw police chief said they still have no definitive reason or motive at this point, and they also confirmed that they have identified the suspects. Youll notice that im not naming the suspect, and theres a reason for that. I refuse to. Im not going to give him any notoriety for what he did. Well provide that information to you but not in this public space. Reporter the white man in his 30s, police say, was pulled over by a state trooper in midland for not using a turn signal. But before the driver stopped, he started shooting at them, then headed west to december saw where the shooting continued. Along the way, he car jacked a mail truck before it came to an end at a Movie Theater where the suspect rammed Police Vehicles before cops killed him. 7 people were killed, 22 injured including 3 members of Law Enforcement from three separate jurisdictions. Among the survivors, a 17monthold little girl shot around her face. Texas Governor Greg Abbott realize a text today that he received from her mother. Toddlers are funny because they can get shot but still want to run around and play. She says that we are thank god for that. Her mouth is pretty bad but will heal and can be fixed. Reporter and that little girl is awaiting surgery to have shrapnel removed from her chest and her mouth and, laura, a vigil is being held this evening for the victims. Laura incredible story that continues to develop. Thank you so much, alicia acuna, in texas. And Hurricane Dorian, following this one too, making landfall in the bahamas. The National Hurricane center describing it as catastrophic category five storm now with winds topping 220 miles an hour. We have Fox Team Coverage on this. Jeff paul standing by in cocoa beach, florida. But first we go to chief meteorologist Rick Reichmuth x hes in the weather center. Reporter yeah, 220 mileanhour winds, thats wind gusts. Weve got sustained winds at 185 miles an hour from this storm. And one thing to notice as of the last advisory that happened at 2 00, an intermediate advisory, the pressure was at 911 millibars. That tells us the storm continues to strengthen. Were not seeing it weaken at all. And this interacting here now over the abaco islands, making kind of a direct landfall on marsh harbour. Now its moving back past that, and the back side of the eye wall is there. A little bit of a northwesterly jog, is that maybe that influence where it starts to move a little bit towards the northwest . Hard to say, maybe just a bit of a wobble which you see these storms do. We know its going to pull towards the northwest, and we are forecasting that it will make this jog off towards the northwest and a little more towards the north eventually, big impacts of where that happens. The center of the eye wall is about 160 miles to the east there around west palm beach. However, the Hurricane Force winds extend out around 45 miles. So not that far, but if the storm continues to get here, were going to see probably likely around that distance from the shore if it doesnt go farther towards the west, and thats why i think were going to have hurricane conditions right along the coast. Were probably talking friday or somewhere up towards the outer banks. So were going to be talking about dorian for a long time. Laura all right. Well check back in next hour. Meanwhile, mandatory evacuations have been ordered in parts of floridas east coast. Officials there urging everyone in the path of Hurricane Dorian to keep their guard up and prepare for the possibility of a powerful storm making landfall. Jeff paul is live in cocoa beach, florida, with more on that part of the story. Hi, jeff. Reporter yeah, laura, its still very sunny and beautiful out here, but you can probably tell the wind has definitely picked up, and because of that youre not seeing as many people out here on the beach. But there still are those diehards out here, but they are pulling out their surfboards and boogie boards, taking advantage of the higher than normal surf. Further over you can see some of these people are kite surfing. Its not normally this windy out here. And a little further down, thats what emergency officials are hoping people Pay Attention to, those are the double red flags. That was not like that yesterday, that means they dont want anybody in the water. Now, throughout the town today and when we were driving around, you could definitely tell there were fewer people out and about. We went into one of the local grocery stores, they had plenty of supplies, but the talk among everybody who was in there was are you going to ride this thing out, are you going to leave. And just judging by the traffic and the amount of people who were in the store, it definitely seems like people are starting to make those plans to get off the Barrier Islands here where we are, cocoa beach. And because of that, Law Enforcement now sending out a warning. If anyone wants to think about looting, take a listen to what this Law Enforcement official had to say. If you want to be a knucklehead and go out there and commit a burglary, you know, you want to liberate your neighbors of their flat screen tv because they evacuated, if you want to burglarize a gun shop or a pawnshop, the penalties are enhanced. They are a felony of the first degree, and i am personally going to make sure that when you get arrested, that you spend time in a state prison. Reporter mandatory evacuations for where we are here in cocoa beach in Brevard County starts tomorrow morning. Laura . Laura all right. Thank you so much. Well be back here at 4 p. M.

Paul despite a recent poll showing joe bidens support falling somewhat, the former Vice President still appears to be leading the democratic pack with the real clear politics average putting him almost a dozen points ahead of his closest competitor. And showing him in the strongest position to beat donald trump in the general election. But my next guest says democrats should be weary of the elect electability argument and says joe biden is shaping up to be the mitt romney of the 2020 race. John, welcome and how in the world is joe biden like mitt romney . Well, look, romney never really quite fit republican primary voters that gravitate pretty far to the right but they heard over and over again hes our best chance to beat president obama at the time and that was the biggest goal among republicans. I would argue that probably democrats, many of them, the biggest goal is to beat President Trump but joe biden no longer, at least joe biden 2. 0 certainly doesnt fit the democrat primary and i think thats becoming increasingly clear. The second problem biden has, though, is hes making a lot of mistakes. And hes looking weak in a lot of the base, low energy. I would argue, the reason theyre going up on tv is because they can control that message, film it, put it up there. They know what its going to look like. Even this week, again, the Washington Post pointed out that biden was caught on the campaign trail taking multiple stories, putting them together and it turned out to be a total fixal x fictional account of something that biden remembered. This is starting to make democrats question is he the best opponent to donald trump. Paul he got in in april or something, hes been the frontrunner since april. There have been reports about his gaffes, his slipups, his memory mistakes and so on and people, the media have focused on those relentlessly. Here biden is and hes at the top of the polls. Doesnt that suggest staying power . I think that will happen for a little bit. Lets look at one other thing. We have new rounds of debates. Mostly the centrists are out out because they couldnt get support among the democrat primaries. Its the leftleaning that met all the criteria. At some point, those candidates are also going to be leaving the campaign and those votes are going to start going to other leftleaning candidates. So i think biden is pretty stable where he is and he might drop a little bit but at some point theres going to be a biden versus somebody and when that happens, i think the somebodys in a better position than biden in a democrat primary. Paul from 2012, it was ultimately romney versus santorum and romney won. The biden in that race won. He lost the general election but he won the primary. Why couldnt biden do the same thing near. Theres a little bit of a difference. The wild card is does the left come together and rally behind a single candidate. If you have four or five left candidates and biden is the only one there, its very possible joe biden will be the nominee. The second big difference is how money is raised. Mitt romney had big super pacs, big donors. The other candidates had small dollar donors. Small dollars has become the most important way to raise money. Biden is not a particularly good small dollar donor. Elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, theyre much better. As time goes on, i think they might have a financial advantage over biden. Paul on the point about electability, though, let me push back again because you have electability in the polling that ive seen, the democratic primary voters say that is their number one concern and, why, because they really, really, really dont like donald trump. So could that issue this time be the dominant issue and even though theres this energy on the left you talk about, maybe work in bidens favor . Well, its certainly working in his favor right now. Hes a name. He has a known entity. And people think well, i think he could win. But the problem is, hes already starting to move left on some issues, like the hyde amendment, which a lot of pro choice people dont like their tax dollars going to pay for abortions. People in rust belt states, for example, blue collar conservatives, who are often democrats who always have liked biden see now that hes shifting to the left. Not only is he not looking like as strong candidate when it comes to his own personality, hes starting to feel like in the democrat primary he has to move to the left and the more he moves to the left, it makes it harder for him to be competitive effectively in the general election. Paul if youre sitting in the Trump Campaign and wondering who youre running against, who would do you really fear . If you dont fear biden, who do you worry about . In fairness, what i learned with trump and his campaign, they dont think that way and fear anybody. If i look at the field right now, i think probably the most likely democrat to end up being their candidate is elizabeth warren. But i also think she comes with a whole host of problems. When we get to the general election and were talking about medicare for all, were talking about green new deal, all these things that are going to cost hard working americans jobs and taxes and take away health care bebenefits they have now, i thik that works to the president s favor. Paul thanks for coming in. Thats going to be fascinating to watch. Looking forward to it. Paul when we come back, james comey claims vindication after the Justice Department declines to prosecute the former fbi director for his handling of memos that detailed his conversations with President Trump.

Paul the Justice Departments Inspector General releasing a report this week that says form other fbi director james comey violated fbi policies in his handling of memos documenting private conversations he had with President Trump. The doj watchdog says comey broke fbi rules when he gave a memo containing unclassified information to a friend with instructions to share the contents with a reporter. The ig says comey failed to notify the fbi after he had been fired that he had retained some of the memos in a safe at home. The Justice Department has said it wont prosecute him for the violations and on thursday comey took to twitter to claim vindication saying, quote, doj ig found no evidence that comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the memos to members of the media. I dont need a public apology from those who defamed me but a quick message with a sorry we lied about you would be nice. Were back with kim strassel, jason riley and wall street Journal Editorial Board member allysia findley. What do you think about comeys claims of vindication . I think hes going to be waiting a long time for an apology from most of america. Only jim comey could turn a report that was this devastating into some sort of vindication. I think the ig did two important things here. One, he skewered this absurd claim that comey made that memos he took of official moments with the president were personal and therefore his to keep and leak. Obviously, in doing so he did break any number of rules and regulations in his own employment agreement. The other important thing that the ig did was skewer this notion that comey was justified in doing this. Pointing out that we have rules for a reason. You do not get to run the fbi on the basis of personal conviction and that even jim comey has to be expected to follow all those regulations. Paul kim, he said that the igs report said the motivation that comey had here was selfserving. He wanted to get donald trump. He wanted to get an appointment of a special counsel. So that was for his own and yet comey couched it in a sort of grander vision of oh, i care deeply about the fbi, i care deeply about the country. But he was also he was really looking out for number one. Yeah. And that was the other really great thing to see in this report. It was very welldone in that its very neutrally written, straightforward, but it simply calls out comey on this fiction, he sort of pedaled to the nation for two years now that hes was operating in everyones best behalf. He was actually operating to get his own, as the ig pointed out, his own ambitions achieved and has also pointing out how much this has hurt and undermines the fbi as well. Paul called it a the ig called it a dangerous example for 35,000 other employees. If you can say youre the director, look, i did this because i have a higher duty, boy, and i can break the rules, thats dangerous, this is an Enforcement Agency with enormous police power. Now we know where the behavior of people like peter strzok and andrew mccabe, the rock started at the very top under jim comey. I think the vindication here belongs to the president for firing jim comey, clearly the right thing to do. I wish he had done it earlier. You dont want an fbi director with jim comeys situational ethics. Who saw his job as to undermine the presidency which is what he was trying to do. I wish we could bill comey for the mueller report. Paul what about the argument from some of the right
