"the lead" with jake tapper starts now. xxx p. >>> welcome to "the lead," i'm jake tapper, continuing to follow the violence in baltimore. there is breaking news on the very day that the family of 25-year-old freddie gray bid him adieu in his funeral, late him to rest. the city of baltimore, despite their pleas for peace, has become something of a battle zone. moments ago police seen dragging away a clearly injured police officer from the scene of what appeared to be rye riots with protestors. according to images we're getting on the television from affiliates in baltimore, throwing rocks and bricks and bottles at the police who have been forming barricades at certain checkpoints. getting live images from baltimore right now. this scene comes amid other reports that there are rival gangs uniting to target poli

surprise that the baltimore police investigation put forth in the death of freddie gray, not necessarily in the findings, those have not been made public necessarily. it is the timing of this report. it was due to be presented to the baltimore state's attorneys some time tomorrow. something changed, and no one knows why. instead at 8:50 this morning, eastern time, just in the last hour we heard about this. it was turned over to the state's attorney and the commissioner, anthony batts spoke briefly to reporters about it. >> this does not mean that the investigation is over. if new evidence is found, we will follow it, if new direction is given by the state's attorney we will obey and follow through with the investigation. we will also further investigate at the request of the state attorney to bring forth any other witnesses that we find. i understand the frustration, i understand the sense of urgency, and so has the organization and that is why we have finished it a day ahead of time. >> a day ahead of time. we did learn one brand new detail where every word counts and every development cou

we have just talked to a person with intimate knowledge of the arrest of freddie gray. we're going to have that interview a little bit later on. this is the first time we have heard the account from one of the police officers about what that police officer believes may have happened to freddie gray or at least when whatever happened actually happened. we're also going to talk tonight to the mom you see right there. to that mom who dragged her son out of a protest in order to make sure that he did not throw rocks at police. we'll talk to her. and we'll talk to the son about that as well. but i want to check in with our brian todd now, standing by. brian, explain where you are, what you're seeing. >> reporter: anderson we're at penn station in downtown baltimore. the starting point and the finishing point for a massive march through downtown baltimore. hundreds if not more than 1,000 people many of them high school and college age students marched through the streets for the last couple hours. this was a larger and more dynamic and actually more organized protest than those we have s

there, you know they're hurting. >> but what exactly happened to 25-year-old freddie gray? that remains a mystery. according to a newly-released investigative document obtained by "the washington post," a prisoner who rode in the police van with gray who was separated by a metal partition and could not see him, told investigators he believes he was, quote, intentionally trying to injure himself. >> nobody's standing up for the officers, any of them. >> cutting against this report, a family member of one of the six officers under investigation. they wish to remain unidentified but say gray wasn't man handled on the road and the van ride was not rough. >> there were two people in the back. if he was rolling around in the back then the other person that was back there would have been rolling around in the back also. and they weren't. >> and they say a lot more than that in that interview to anderson cooper. so let's test it right now. there's no question this "the washington post" report is the new piece in the puzzle saying again, this prisoner who rode in the same police van with

freddie gray. gray died a week after a police encounter which his family said left his spine 80% severed at the neck. police stopped him because he made eye contact with a lieutenant, then ran away. two weeks of peaceful protest over gray's death erupted into violence monday as high school students threw bricks and rocks at police, and looting and vandalism were reported across the city. overnight, cars and buildings were burned. police said 15 officers were injured, though all are expected to recover. at least 27 people were arrested. governor hogan denounced the protesters as "gangs of thugs roaming the streets." >> everybody believes we need to get to the answers and resolve the situation, the concern everyone has about what happened in the freddie gray incident. that is one whole situation. this is an entirely different situation. this is lawless gangs of thugs roaming the streets, causing damage to property and injuring innocent people, and we're not on a tolerate that. amy: following ferguson, this marks the second time in six months the national guard has been called to restore or

freddie gray while in baltimore police custody. but these solidarity protests tonight are happening across the country. this right here is minneapolis. right now you see a pretty large group of protesters blocking a significant roadway in minneapolis, minnesota. earlier tonight the largest protest for a while was in new york city. this is union square tonight in manhattan. hundreds of people started gathering at this new york event. earlier on in this evening, protests turned confrontational and law enforcement started arresting people. police had handed out flyers to protesters saying they would arrest people if they stood in the street or if they blocked traffic even pedestrian traffic. some of that was heated. we don't know how many arrests there were in downtown manhattan tonight but we are monitoring the situation on the ground in new york. we'll have a live report in just a moment. significant rallies and marches in boston, massachusetts, about 500 people turned out. washington, d.c., only about 40 mile ace way from baltimore. milwaukee, wisconsin, minneapolis, expecting more

that report on what happened to freddie gray. officials across the city, including at city hall right behind he, are trying to lower expectations that what is inside that report will actually provide answers about just how the 25-year-old suffered the spinal cord injury while he was in police custody. authorities do say the internal investigation will remain sealed to protect the integrity of the findings in that investigation. now, while that's going on, new reports this morning, "the washington post" says a leaked police document quotes the only man inside the police transport with freddie gray, a prisoner who was in the back of that transport with him. he says that gray was banging against the walls of the van and this prisoner in the black believes that gray was intentionally trying to injure himself. but it is important to note that the prisoner could only hear him, not see him. so how he came up with the notion that gray was trying to injure himself, very much speculative at this point. while that's going on, a relative of one of the officers involved in the arrest has tal

taking to the streets. they're calling for justice for freddie gray. that's a 25-year-old black man who died days after being arrested by white police officers. he had been in a coma. gray's family says police severed his spine. we're showing you right now live pictures of the protests in baltimore at 7:00 eastern. these protesters as we said thousands at this hour calling for an end to police brutality. they're also holding signs that read "black lives matter." the crowds at this moment making their way to the site where gray was originally taken into custody. at that time police dragged him into a van. he was screaming in pain. let me play that for you. >> ah. [ bleep ]. ah! >> the outrage has been building ever since this video of gray's arrest was made public and tonight, we can report that the justice department has now launched a civil rights investigation into gray's death. miguel marquez begins our coverage in baltimore. he's with the protesters tonight. miguel what are you seeing right now? >> very much with the protesters. these young men are incredibly angry about everyth

could pick up. and with a report on freddie gray's death not expected to be turned over to the state's attorney until friday -- and by the way, that report likely will not be seen. people will not see it. people here remain very ill at ease. there's a lot to talk about in the hour ahead. john this very strange day over there at the ballpark. tell us more about what you have been seeing and hearing. >> it's so interesting. around the city today, it is a little more normal. people are back to works, kids are back to school. people are driving and eating at restaurants. but it's not normal. and this shows you just how abnormal it is. they're playing this game in front of nobody. so i don't think there's ever been as much attention on a day baseball game on a wednesday because of how few people were actually watching it in person. it's a reminder i think an important reminder anderson of how far they still have to go here. yes, last night was not as bad as the night before. who knows how bad tonight will be? but they've got a long way to go to make this city feel like it did a week

family of freddie gray finally get om answers? i'm jack tapper this is the lead. the national lead baltimore's mayor just hour ago saying her police department needs to explain what happened to freddy gray. will the baltimore police commissioner meet her challenge? >>> mitt romney says it looks like bribery. serious questions about about the clintons and the bundles of cash given to their election. >>> and the world lead italian police busting down the doors of accused terrorists this morning. >>> good afternoon. welcome to the lead. i'm jack tapper. you're rooking at some live shots in your breaking news in the national lead the baltimore police department expected to hold a news conference to provide an update into the death of fedreddie gray. the scant details that have been provided on what happened to freddie gray while he was in their custody. a spokesman admitted today that the police did not strap a seat belt over him after petting him in the back of a -- gray -- attacked allegedly used to intentionally ininjury someone. >> questions about what led to gray's death remain un

investigation into freddie gray's death. the outrage fueled in part by new details we're learning tonight on the streets that we're seeing. these are live pictures that you're seeing on your screen. this is philadelphia now on the ground where people are marching in solidarity. here is what we know now in terms of the breaking developments. according to our affiliate wjla in baltimore, a medical examiner found the cat sfrosk injury that gray suffered happened in the back of the police car. in fact according to wjla the head injury that he sustained matches exactly the shape of the bolt in the back of the van. this is a major development that could mean gray's death was a direct result of the van ride with police. however, the big question is who caused that injury. but tonight there is a report from a prisoner who was in that same police van. that prisoner reportedly telling investigators we thought gray was quote intentionally trying to injury himself. these developments are coming hour after police released a new bombshell in their investigation. they now admit that the van carrying gray m

spread across the city. >> all of this follows the funeral for freddie gray. he's the young man from baltimore who died just over a week ago about a week after he was arrested and was in police custody. >> we have team coverage now of all that's been going on up there for quite a long time. we begin with tisha thompson. with a report on the very latest developments up there in baltimore. >> jim, that's right. we have been here since this began and wanting to start with new video of mondawmin mall. video from the ground. this is what it looked like we of course have been showing folks video from helicopt this is the first you are getting from the actual street level. >> this was recorded earlier. this was the initial area the genesis at mondawmin mall where the social media and the fliers said start here and move towards city hall. this is where all that video we were seeing from 3:00 coming here and from a chopper and now seeing it at eye level down on the ground. >> you can see quite a few police officers. we want to let you know that there are at least 30 police officers from princ

school let out that the violence and looting started this afternoon after the funeral of freddie gray freddie gray was arrested and loaded into a police van. by the time he got out of the police van he had a nearly severed spine and the crushed voice box. although baltimore has had peaceful protests since then many people in baltimore have been calling for peace, even putting themselves between police officers and the enraged public public, we have seen people throw rocks and bricks at police officers, and police responded with some of the same bricks and with projectiles and tear gas. 15 officers were hurt in today's clashes. most of them minor injuries, but two injured seriously enough that they are still hospitalized tonight. in just the last hour we have heard from the family of freddie gray and the family's supporters. they've been calling for an end to violence. the family's lawyer spoke about the ongoing investigations into mr. gray's death. >> we don't want to rush to justice. we don't want that. we want justice. we want accurate fact finding, no matter how long it takes, as long as i

. msnbc is getting a look at what freddie gray was going to be charged with. joy, you have the charging documents. what are they? >> absolutely. essentially one of the questions people have been asking fundamentally about freddie gray is one, why was he stopped? and is two, what was he going to be charged with? the charging document does give us the answer. freddie gray was going to be charged, according to a document submitted to the district court of maryland for the city of baltimore, with possession of a switchblade. unlawfully carrying or selling a knife commonly known as a switchblade with automatic spring or device for opening and closing. the question we're still trying to look into is what would have been the probable cause for the stop because the narrative in this documentk thomas states that the switchblade was found once he was stopped. the actual narrative written by the police officer says that freddie gray fled unprovoked upon noticing police presence. that was according to this charging document the reason for the initial stop. once the defendant was apprehended, the of

passenger, dante alan, who shared the police van with freddie gray. he spoke to wblal's jane miller. >> alan did not know a man was already in the van. freddie gray was on the right side alan was loaded on to the left side. a solid divider separated them. in an interview, alan described what he heard. once you got in the van, what did you hear? >> when i got in the van, i didn't hear nothing. we went straight to the police station. all i heard was like a little banging for about four seconds. you know what i mean? i just heard a little banging, you know, just little -- you know what i mean boom boom just little banging. >> reporter: sources have told us that by the time alan was loaded, gray was unresponsive. you can see officers at that stop looking into gray's side of the van with its doors fully open. >> when we got to the police station, they said he didn't have no pulse or nothing. they calling his name mr. gray mr. gray and he wasn't responsible. >> this follows a controversial new report in "the washington post," which claims that same passenger told police he heard gray inte

25-year-old freddie gray. we are going to end it here. coming up next is "now with alex wagner." >>> we're following breaking news out of baltimore this hour where clashes involving police in riot gear and a group of juveniles have broken out outside a local mall. the mall along with other businesses downtown, is closed this afternoon out of fear of violent protests. one police officer has been injured. these new demonstrations come just hours after freddie gray the 25-year-old who died in police custody earlier this month, was buried. nbc's brian mooar is live in baltimore. brian, what can you tell us about how these demonstrations began, with the youths in baltimore? >> the demonstrations more than that at this point, going on just a couple of blocks away from us. the first reports were a couple of kids at a mall who appeared to be up to no good. the police showed up and confronted them. it looked at one point like they were dispersing. and then more and more and more people started to show up and get involved to the point where we were just a few moments ago looking at large

details about how freddie gray may have died. according to wjla-tv, the preliminary autopsy shows that freddie gray's neck was broken in the police van when his head slammed into the back of that vehicle. this is new information emerging just in the last few minutes from wjla. the latest news on a day full of developments. i want to bring in cnn justice reporter evan perez right now. evan tell us what's in this medical report according to this report from wjla? >> they say this medical report shows it's a preliminary report provided to the police department, and it's part of this report that went to the state attorney's office shows that he suffered a head injury and the telltale sign an injury in the head of freddie gray that matches a bolt that's in the back of the van. now, again we haven't seen this report and don't know whether it's completely accurate what they're reporting, but that is what they say this preliminary report that was provided to the police says. >> reporter: and also, the report from wjla says the driver of the van -- there's six police officers in question here a

show. it started with the funeral of freddie gray the 25-year-old african-american who died while in police custody a week ago, sunday. then later today came an open threat of gang violence to, quote, take out law enforcement officials in baltimore. adding to that -- adding to the real danger from the young people in the streets today was the predictable opportunists out there, looking for a chance to destroy and loot and otherwise exploit a bad situation. in the city just north of washington, d.c. we have a call of anger tonight. a perfect urban scene for those who love nothing better than a polarized society. within the last hour maryland's governor put his state's national guard on alert, and late today, a police spokesman vowed to put those he called criminals in jail. >> this afternoon, a group of outrageous criminals attacked our officers. right now, we have seven officers that have serious injuries including broken bones, and one officer who is unconscious. we will do whatever is appropriate to protect the safety of our police officers and ensure the safety of the people that

sharing a police transport van with freddie gray told investigators that he could hear gray banging against the walls of the vehicle and believed that he was intentionally trying to injure himself according to a police document obtained by "the washington post." that statement is contained in an application for a search warrant, which is sealed by the court. captain, what do you think about how a document like that would have happened at that time. >> we don't know. we have a team that's been work incredibly hard to get to the truth here. we have that obligation to the gray family we have that obligation to the city of baltimore to find the truth. and we talked earlier this afternoon about the fact that throughout the day they've been doing an overwhelmingly comprehensive review of the information that they have trying to make this investigation as tight, accurate and timely as we can. >> when do you expect the police department would be able to release more information about what happened, information in any form? >> you know what we have tried to do, since the beginning of this un
