There was a disturbing -- In New York -- the -- yesterday was of the day before it was the day before yesterday -- -- -- -- here to keep me up to date on the facts as always.

Bill Daly and Tom Ruskin former FBI and NYPD respectively good to see guys -- -- -- this hit by 31 year old Brandon Wood and bill.

Walking along the street.

Guy gets out of a cop.

Very calmly walks up behind him want to show the back of the head this can't be anything although that -- a planned it.

And now passed away when I first heard this I said you know this is a personal attack you know when something like this happens that this person has targeted this is not just a random.

Act -- on the streets.

That this was something it was a deliberate.

You know be quite interesting and I'm sure police have already gone through Brandon is emails and options are torso could -- home.

And see what other connections are out there what was kind of driving this issue we knew we had some type of criminal.

Issues -- a California where -- from.

But there's -- you suggest here that he is being targeted so this is going to be someone who -- run -- with.

-- someone who's crossed into Iran twice with and they are the ones who carried out this attack.

That Tom apparently your ties making a lot of no worries on on you Mike.

I'm I'm hearing my cannot control -- sent -- so moving away from its high for goodness.

-- -- -- -- Islam but only to a joking -- you -- clearly unprofessional but -- talking -- special I mean these guys were extraordinary and I don't need to make light of it obviously this was a litter on the streets of Manhattan.

-- -- These guys were extraordinary thing what in the parking -- and you can see in the security camera video was a fairly tight hockey say like how the wheels -- that ready to go out and they even stopped so what held off for a few seconds at a red light.

On 58 street and telling on a seven under no panic and then they just calmly drove down seventh avenue is found on the way to get.

Court is to burn that red light as police are responding some cop may try and stop you this was this this was a planned.

The people will relatively professional not totally professional for what you could see he's a little nervous in -- For Brandon to show up in the neighborhood -- definitely there for some reason is supposed to be back in LA on Monday.

He was delayed he didn't show up.

And now it looks like -- eluded to this particular location that looks like he's looking as Blackberry to look for an address right and that's just hypothesis the police.

Would have the Blackberry at this point going to be able -- answering phones.

On and what does that tell us -- Well I mean well to only mourn his luggage.

No I don't -- -- -- while he told just when I tell you was that is.

A frame grab from the surveillance video that's been his camera mounted on -- -- outside -- which.

Brandon Wood who was shot you can see that issued it removing the Dave was it silver plated -- era revolver from his pocket and magnitude -- in the head but I feel what does -- what -- what -- we.

What are we glee when a guy that.

If tennis without without casting aspersions there's going to you don't know what we've we've seen you know criminals of the criminal operational activity.

People have several phones and -- throwaway phones and there's a phones the that they just purchased through these kind of plans if you buy it the -- -- eleven -- that are that are easily disposable so it's it's hard to say what it is yet but you'd save -- having someone.

Three different phones.

That that there was some perhaps.

Suggestion of some nefarious activity going on who when not to say that that's the reason why he -- he was killed in that moment but I would suggest along with what.

-- saying is that you know this was planned that these people were perhaps least of ailing if not actually lured -- -- that area and although I.

-- -- -- -- We don't have too many people who are truly professional this is not you know a culture where people running out of people being -- -- -- who may have had more of that back in the -- -- and organized crime.

Yeah activity here in New York in the mid major cities.

But this would probably some weight near that is that -- may be some elements of that.

Many interesting I -- -- -- -- us making him Ray Kelly the police commissioner said yesterday he was -- is this one of the most brazen attacks you've seen in New York City.

And he sort of looked in in that Ray Kelly way of the cameras at what it's -- -- an awful lot of rough so as you can do Hollywood perhaps it did little dream.

A former FBI agent and a -- a cup.

Is this.

This guy has a long criminal record and Brandon was here for some unknown reason no one knew what he was on ministry he was definitely going to meet somebody or going somewhere.

The killer knew he was going to be there and was waiting for him in advance and had the systematic way of sending the tires and knowing where they're gonna go.

What we do know from the investigation thus far.

-- -- has been used -- 2000 going queen shoes yet everything that was the best through a thing that the new York city police department has called -- catcher when you're gonna expels a shell.

Those shells can be matched to prior crimes so this gun is a murder weapon that has been used before.

And probably.

If you want to go one step brother when they went through the Midtown Tunnel.

On their way back to queen's vs the Lincoln Tunnel.

There -- five heading back to queen's which is probably we have these killers are so we're in New York City or laying in life.

Right -- let -- levity to the other big story of the the last 48 hours is dreadful shooting.

Make any day at a shopping mall in.

And now -- don't just outside of Poland.

Oregon last night two people killed -- -- killed himself according to the -- Another of the season a guy running through apparently in -- mosque.

When -- -- what do we what do we make of this does it mean anything in the bigger picture of gun crime gun -- -- -- -- as saying -- these stories -- hear about the shooting -- in New York or the shooting -- that was -- past you know.

And you know people -- rally around the cause some kind of gun control flight -- -- -- -- -- side of saying.

It's nothing guns it's the people who these people have the guns and have the weapons carrier about what their signals much like -- -- Colorado case and we -- The other with a signals -- this person that we had to do not know about yet.

And I think that's what police -- sought to uncover was this person.

We don't know you know there's some suggestions maybe there's argument over a job we don't know that yet was -- something a vengeful act because of that.

Which is something else driving and some other types of -- it was -- hearing voices was motivated to do because of some other reason.

We don't know yet.

But the question is is that you know.

The people who are not in control of the faculties getting all the weapons those -- the people who posed a risk on it's an unfortunate.

State in our society and open free society -- these things you know can occur.

Which is very very tragic that somebody goes.

Also lose my -- are you know my thoughts and prayers of north thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the people who were killed just shot into the family.

But -- what's what's the good so either this is how the police and fire and emergency people responded.

They had -- Oval Office is there within minutes.

They were mobilized they got all the other people safely out of the mall.

So it's showing that as these things unfortunately are occurring around our country.

More enforcement in this -- the emergency responders what taking.

He'd even preparing for these type of things.

Should they happen in new jurisdictions are any.

There could be John has had.

Also companies and and -- a place like malls and actually do some drills around this is an unfortunate you know -- society to be prepared for it but thank you need to be.

So employers will do these kind of -- shooting -- -- to see.

What happens who shows up what are the roles you know so that's not totally totally.

You know fashion certainly seems that so many I mean if there's if there's any.

Good -- to this which is tough on but it certainly seems as though a lot more could have died in this particular when he had a semiautomatic.

Running for animal I mean did could be lower amount of loss of life -- is it is it is a miracle in itself since.

It does does the good news to come out of this tragic incident all right.

Tom Ruskin milled any ma am sorry there was.

It was all kind of depressing today but good to see about -- -- -- your analysis.

And I love to see my face looking between two -- -- Again it's great looking.

We feel poorly understood you won't want to let you know overall I don't know all the time reflect great to see gentleman --
