Chris Jansing Reports

for that nypd press conference to get underway any moment now with new details about the man who set himself on fire outside the courthouse. nbc's yasmin vossoughian is on the ground for us. jim kavanaugh is back with me. what are the questions you think they'll be able to answer? it's now been just a little more than an hour since this happened. >> you're right. i think the witnesses reporting that he threw some pamphlets in the air, prior to powering a flammable liquid on himself and lighting himself with a lighter. some of the answers are in those pamphlets. that's his message. that's what he wants the world to know. it may prove to be nonsensical, and won't make sense to anyone, only to him, but largely some of the answers are there, and he may have posted things online or left notes at home as well. i think nypd will have some answers for us, that, you know, he might have been disturbed, but clearly he's suicidal, and

with an individual. his name is dave. who witnessed this thing closer than me. i'm about 50 feet from the man who set himself on fire. this individual was inside collect pond park. he had come here from the upper west side, which is about 5 miles north of where we are in lower manhattan, just to kind of see what was going on when it came to the trump trial. and he wanted to check out what was happening with the media, and instead, he encountered this individual, and he said this man threw some papers up. and i had described earlier, chris, when i was on the air with you, there was papers surrounding this individual. he threw papers up in the air, multicolored papers and then he had doused himself in gasoline, and he lit a lighter and then subsequently set himself on fire. you mentioned, chris, as you were coming to me that for many individuals who witnessed this, me being one of them, you couldn't quite understand what was happening in front of you, and i would echo that same

Katy Tur Reports

journalist, who at one point, his camera was trained away from park, but he heard a woman scream. he's about to set himself on fire. and he whipped around, 180 degrees and looked into the park, and he saw a young man as he describes to me with a gray t-shirt on, who was standing there in the middle of the park. he threw the papers up in the air. he doused himself with a liquid. he lit a lighter and subsequently set himself on fire. now, that paper that he threw up in the air. we did get a glimpse of it because it had blown towards the direction in which we are standing now, and there are some far reaching conspiracy theories on this paper. whether or not that is part of the motivation as to why this individual set himself on fire, we don't know. and i do think, ana, as we talk about this, it is important to reiterate, we don't know if there is any connection between

The ReidOut

person, another witness that saw this all go down, that he initially had knelt down, and we learned this from officers as well during the press conference. he reached into his backpack, and he had thrown up into the air a ton of papers. then he had doused himself in fluid, in lighter fluid of some sort. he had used a lighter then to light himself on fire. on those papers were wide ranging conspiracy theories, honestly. none of it made sense. it was all nonsensical. it was political, some was about the mob, some was about various universities here in new york as well as throughout the country. they were wide ranging conspiracy theories. whether or not that is what motivated this individual to do that, we don't know. but it was a shocking moment. juxtaposing that to what we were also reporting on at that very moment, which was empanelling a jury to sit and decide the fate of the ex-president of the united states.
