- 0:04Speaker 1: Sidney Sumner. A man is facing criminal charges for allegedly
- 0:08Speaker 1: trying to break accused killer Luigi Mangioni out of a
- 0:11Speaker 1: New York jail. On Wednesday, Mark Anderson, thirty five, of Mancatto, Minnesota,
- 0:16Speaker 1: reportedly identified himself as an FBI agent at Metropolan Detention
- 0:20Speaker 1: Center's intake area, telling officers that he had paperwork signed
- 0:24Speaker 1: by a judge which ordered Mangioni's release. Anderson, who claimed
- 0:28Speaker 1: to have weapons in his possession, presented a Minnesota driver's
- 0:31Speaker 1: license after being asked to present his credentials. Jail employees
- 0:35Speaker 1: who checked Anderson's backpack reportedly found a barbecue fork and
- 0:39Speaker 1: a round steel blade resembling a pizza cutter. An FBI
- 0:43Speaker 1: agent wrote in an affidavit, I have reviewed those papers
- 0:46Speaker 1: in Anderson's possession and they appear to be related to
- 0:49Speaker 1: filing claims against the United States Department of Justice. A
- 0:53Speaker 1: law enforcement source says that Anderson was in New York
- 0:55Speaker 1: for a job prospect which did not work out. The
- 0:58Speaker 1: source also said Anderson had been working out a pizzeria.
- 1:02Speaker 1: At his first court appearance yesterday, Anderson appeared unconcerned about
- 1:06Speaker 1: the charges against him, flashing spectators a peace sign on
- 1:09Speaker 1: his way into the court room. Anderson's lawyer argued he's
- 1:12Speaker 1: mentally ill and should be released to a hospital, but
- 1:15Speaker 1: the judge ordered Anderson be held without bail, meaning he'll
- 1:19Speaker 1: soon be joining Mangioni at the very complex he tried
- 1:22Speaker 1: to break him out of. Judge Taryn Merkel called Anderson
- 1:25Speaker 1: a flight risk, citing several arrests in the Bronx in
- 1:28Speaker 1: recent months involving carrying illegal weapons. Anderson pled not guilty
- 1:32Speaker 1: to charges of impersonating an FBI agent. More crime and
- 1:36Speaker 1: justice news after this. Newly released court documents provide details
- 1:42Speaker 1: about a fatal shooting earlier this month involving underage patrons
- 1:46Speaker 1: to a popular University of Kansas bar Aiden Sullivan Knowles, eighteen,
- 1:51Speaker 1: was killed in the shooting at the Jayhawk Cafe also
- 1:53Speaker 1: known as the hawk In Sixteen year old Brady Clark
- 1:56Speaker 1: was critically injured to eighteen year old's Caden Klak and
- 2:00Speaker 1: Daytrin Daniel Strickland have been charged in the January seventeenth shooting.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Nole's father says that his son was in the wrong
- 2:06Speaker 1: place at the wrong time and was not a student
- 2:09Speaker 1: at the university. It's not clear if Clem or Daniel
- 2:12Speaker 1: Strickland are students. According to an affidavit, the victims and
- 2:16Speaker 1: the suspects were part of two groups of people who
- 2:18Speaker 1: met up at the bar that night and reportedly got
- 2:21Speaker 1: along with no issues. Two witnesses who had been with
- 2:24Speaker 1: Clark and Knowles told police they left at one point
- 2:26Speaker 1: during the night and walked to a nearby bar. When
- 2:29Speaker 1: they returned, however, they were denied entry back into the Hawk.
- 2:32Speaker 1: As they were getting into their car to leave, they
- 2:34Speaker 1: said they saw Clark, Knowles, the other person in their
- 2:37Speaker 1: initial group, and some others fighting the bar staff, so
- 2:40Speaker 1: they got out to help. Another group, including Daniel Strickland,
- 2:44Speaker 1: were also arguing with staff and demanding the return of
- 2:47Speaker 1: a cell phone. When the cell phone was handed over,
- 2:49Speaker 1: they started to walk away. Shortly after that, Clem, who
- 2:53Speaker 1: was outside the bar, pulled out a semi automatic handgun
- 2:56Speaker 1: and fired several shots into the air. Immediately after those
- 2:59Speaker 1: shots were fired, Daniel Strickland pulled out a semi automatic
- 3:03Speaker 1: handgun and fired several rounds at the entrance, striking Clark
- 3:06Speaker 1: and Knowles. Police were called to the scene at about
- 3:09Speaker 1: two a m. They found Knowles dead and Clark critically injured.
- 3:13Speaker 1: A search of the nearby area located Clem, Daniel Strickland,
- 3:16Speaker 1: and two others in an alley a few blocks away.
- 3:19Speaker 1: They were taken in for questioning. While back at the scene,
- 3:22Speaker 1: the witnesses who had been with the victims spoke with police.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Clem told officers that he was just in the area
- 3:28Speaker 1: and saw people running, but didn't hear any gunshots, did
- 3:31Speaker 1: not have a weapon, and certainly didn't fire any guns.
- 3:34Speaker 1: He also said he was not involved in the disturbance
- 3:36Speaker 1: just prior to the shooting. Daniel Strickland told police at
- 3:40Speaker 1: closing time, he saw the altercation between a group of
- 3:42Speaker 1: men and the door guys and then heard gunshots, which
- 3:45Speaker 1: frightened him, so he pulled out his gun and fired
- 3:48Speaker 1: toward a wall next to the front door. He said
- 3:51Speaker 1: he did not fire at anyone and denied seeing anyone
- 3:54Speaker 1: in front of the bar when he opened fire. The
- 3:56Speaker 1: court documents further described surveillance video from the bar showed Clem,
- 4:01Speaker 1: Daniel Strickland, and two others sneaking into the bar through
- 4:04Speaker 1: a side entrance at about eleven pm. At about one
- 4:06Speaker 1: forty five am barstaff told them to leave. The group
- 4:10Speaker 1: shows Clem and his two friends get into a fight
- 4:12Speaker 1: with the staff, including Clem pulling out his gun and
- 4:15Speaker 1: holding it to his side. Eventually, staff forced the group outside.
- 4:19Speaker 1: At one point Clem pointed his gun at a bouncer's head,
- 4:22Speaker 1: but eventually went outside, pulled up his hood and fired
- 4:26Speaker 1: several shots into the air. Then Daniel Strickland pulled out
- 4:29Speaker 1: his gun and shot at the Knowles Clark group before
- 4:31Speaker 1: fleeing the scene. Police eventually found two handguns believed to
- 4:35Speaker 1: be used in the shooting several blocks away, one beneath
- 4:38Speaker 1: a car and a parking garage, and another on top
- 4:41Speaker 1: of a heating and air conditioning unit by a university
