nbc's ron mott is there in boston. it comes as quite a bit of a surprise, as many legal experts were saying he wouldn't have anything to gain and many were expecting him not to speak, ron. >> reporter: yeah, exactly. a little bit of a surprise indeed because a lot of the scholars an analysts following this case from day one says there's not a lot to gain when you've been convicted and sentenced to death to get up and speak at sentencing to all of these family members. one of the things that's interesting about today's activities is that a lot of the jurors, their service ended after they rendered the death penalty. a lot of them came back today to take part in it to be a witness to all the work they put in over the course of eight to ten weeks, hearing all the evidence a lot of evidence in this case. so this is really a surprise that he's going to address the court and presumably offer some sort of an apology perhaps to all the families harmed in the boston marathon bombing two years ago. as you mentioned, judy clark,

stuff going on in boston. the court appearance will happen at 3:30 this afternoon for a man from everett. >> don't know where that is going. have a good wednesday. >> see you back here tomorrow. happen now starts right now. jon: on court action linked to the did the shooting of a terror suspect in boston as we learn a second suspect may have been part of an isis inspired plot to be had police officers. welcome to happening now. >> it is a story that broke during our show yesterday when a police officer and fbi agents over fire killing a man in boston who was under surveillance by terrorism investigators. boston police have video showing a man identified as osama has seem. >> a second suspect has just arrived.

joining me now from boston is sarah dallof. this appears to contradict what rahim's brother said about him being shot in the back. do we know when this video will be released to the public? >> reporter: they indicated that it definitely will be but not until the investigation is complete. that's a process that could take many months. they were concerned about rumors intention would continue to grow while we waited for it to be released prompting them to make an unprecedented decision to show it to community leaders. as you heard there, community leaders mixed on some aspects but there are some key aspects on which they agreed. those being that rahim was shot -- was not shot in the back but rather the front. he was neither at the bus stop nor on the phone and law enforcement appeared to back up as he approached them -- that is a direct contradiction to his brother's statement on facebook brother a popular i ammam is on his way here. we're waiting for that and also waiting for more response from the community as well as new detai

i want to apply over a tapestry over in boston. i said the federal, local police wow, they potentially stopped a huge bomb shell from happening up there with the threat against police officers. >> if the allegations are true yes, they did stop it. >> all right. so they were able to get all of this information and to surveil them for 24 hours at the same time both digitally and obviously physically would they still now be able to do all of that? >> yes, yes. the property visions for lone wolf and the phrase is a little misleading lone wolf -- >> he wasn't alone. >> correct. >> allegedly. >> but lone wolf doesn't mean one person. it could mean a large group of people but it means no hierarchy and no connection to a known terrorist organization. >> they're looking into that. >> those conversations can be listened to in realtime by the nsa under both the patriot act and the freedom act. no change in the law at all. >> rand paul says that it's still doesn't leave americans really with their full liberties, last thought. >> i agree with

kudos to the professionalism of the boston law enforcement community and clergy. hopefully, we all learned a lot over the last six months with everything that's gone on in the interaction between law enforcement and the community. here is the case where they had a video that showed that police had the right to use deadly physical force. the state of the law is when someone is using deadly physical force against you and that knife you showed a moment ago, thats the definition of deadly physical force, a civilian or police officer is allowed to match it with deadly physical force under the theerpory of self-defense. here it sounds like they tried to retreat and step back and calm him down. it didn't work. they fired their weapons minimally, three shots between two law enforcement personnel. hit him twice. instead of putting the video out in the public domain which could incite emotions they did it strategically, and hopefully we put aside any unrest in the city of boston. >> you had community leaders dispelling that notion that he was shot in the back on the cell ph

the news conference from boston and the boston police commission er william evans making it clear that he wanted to bring in the religious members to show them this video from a far and show them that this individual 26 years old was not shot in the back. he was not just an innocent bystander. they say that the police were actually backing up and he was approaching them with the military style knife. let's get some analysis on what we just heard. the national corespondent is joining us as law enforcement analyst form er fbi. deborah, let's talk about the individual video and approximate police and the fbi and as well as the district attorney. they were showing what was going on. give us your reaction to what we just heard? >> well it was interesting because it was not until the end of the press conference that they mentioned the weaponry. the knife that was recovered at the scene, and it appears that from the surveillance video and the distance of where it was taken, it's hard to make out whether the suspect was holding a knife. however, he is the agreasegressive one. he sa approaching

in boston, when a boston police officer and fbi agent got into a confrontation with a 26-year-old man on a sidewalk. the confrontation resulted in the man being shot multiple times by the officers. the man's family said that he had been talking on his cell phone with his father when he was inexplicably shot in the back and killed by these officers. but police then released this photo of a relatively giant military style knife. the ruler that's there, the white ruler is six inches long, this is showing a knife that is, by appearances at least, over a foot long. police recovered this weapon from the match they shot, they shot them because he threatens the officers with this knife. police brought a number of community leaders to boston police headquarters and played for them a video that they had of the shooting scene and the shooting incident. police and the fbi have not released this video to the broader public and media. but they showed it to this select group of people basically as a way of priming the community for what to expect in terms of details about this shooting. they said th

boston tea party. and the boston tea party led great britain to respond with what were called the coercive acts. great britain singled out boston and massachusetts for punishment. it fined boston, made it pay for the tea that was that had been destroyed, and changed the government of massachusetts. in fact, revoking a charter that had been in place for three-quarters of a century and replacing it with a new charter. and it was that step i think that angered and alarmed colonists from other kohl colonies who weren't affected by -- directly affected by the coercive acts n. pennsylvania, for example, where a great many people had come from small religious sects, had come over to pennsylvania because of its religious freedom the feeling was that if the ministry in london could simply arbitrarily take away massachusetts' charter, it could do same thing to pennsylvania. and when it took away pennsylvania's charter, religious freedom might go down the tubes there as well. and so the colonies responded to the

but for the terrorism suspect killed tuesday in boston, was it plan b? law enforcement sources tell nbc news usaamah abdullah rahim originally abandoned a plot to behead pamela geller. she is the conservative activist behind the controversial draw muhammad contest in garland, texas, which ended with police killing two gunmen. it appears that plot was just talk, a fantasy. officials don't know whether the suspect even knew where to find her. geller released a statement saying, in part, they targeted me for violating sharia blasphemy laws. it won't end with me or the cops. it's just beginning. the one thing that is being ignored that came out of garland is that isis is here. islamic terrorism is here. nbc's justice correspondent pete williams has details on the investigation. >> reporter: investigators were back at the scene where a boston police officer and an fbi agent shot the man authorities say was plotting to kill police, 26-year-old usaamah rahim of boston, as the fbi revealed new details about the investigation. nbc news learned three weeks ago bas

(inaudible) >> so there you heard it from the boston police and community leaders. they showed a videotape recording of the shooting of a man who had been under surveillance, happen in suburban boston yesterday. the guy was wanted or under surveillance in connection with what was thought to be a domestic terrorism plot when an fbi agent and a boston police officer approached him a say he pulled out a knife and came at them with it and each officer fired shot and ended his life. originally his family said he was shot in the back and talking on the phone at the time he was killed, but according to the community officer and community leaders that saw the tape that does not pan out. our chief intelligence corspentond catherine herige has more. >> reporter: we heard consistently since the shooting yesterday morning is that the suspect was under 24- hour surveillance. what that means, they were subject to the special surveillance group by the fbi or fsg. this is a group that is only deployed by the bureau only on a specific threat. it is labor intensive and cost. and the

i mean two out of the four planes flew out of boston. and i think a lot of it has to do with just sort of the general political ambience in massachusetts, you know? it's -- this state welcomes so-called refugees like the tsarnaevs. if you're a refugee in the united states you know most of them have stories that don't hold up under any scrutiny but they're never checked. the tsarnaevs were on welfare from the moment they arrived here. they were welcomed here. the former governor patrick said even after he read the manifesto in the boat from dzhokhar tsarnaev. he said he told bob schieffer on "face the nation" next sunday schieffer asked him do we know the motives of these guys? and deval patrick said we don't know the motives of these young fella fellas that's what he called them young fellas. at a 9/11 commemoration one year when he was governor h said 9/11 was a failure of human beings to love one another. there's this atmosphere politically that's somewhat welcoming to these type of people. >> howie, we haven't had you on in a while. w

thank the boston police department. they did a superb superb job. >> what did they tell you exactly when it came to how much you were a target? >> i had heard from cnn initially, and then upon their request, multiple agencies we had a meeting, but i'm clearly not at liberty to discuss what went -- what was said. >> fair enough. pamela are you afraid for your life? >> of course there's an element of fear. you know i would be silly to say that there isn't -- it's not fearful, but to me it is -- it's scarier, jake to do nothing. because complying with the sharia leads to more demands for sharia compliance and while it is very scary that an innocuous and clever cartoon would cause or warrant me to get my head chopped off, this is the state of freedom of speech in this country in 2015 and that i would be the object of attacks ss across the board, not you specifically but instead of the jihadists being the focus of the media, instead of the mosque. the same mosque as the boston the tsarnaev bombers, as anwar awlaki and here a

what effect is this having in boston? we just heard that dzhokhar tsarnaev is receiving the death penalty. how is the community at large reacting to all of this? >> yeah i mean look. i think like anything, it's a little hard to tell from a reporter's perspective, the extent to which people are aware of this. i think it's as though we were sort of breathing out after a couple of years of holding it in. boston is not a city that sort of has an expectation of this i think, in the way that new york does. yeah, to have something like this happen on the heels of tying up the ends of the tsarnaev trial is jarring. i think the question is, you know, what's next? you know, is this just the way things are going to be? or not? >> hilary sergeant with boston.com. thank you for your time. columnist from the daily beast. dean obadala. this involves the threat of decapitation of pamela geller as avowed anti-islamist. and a radicalized violent extremist. i wonder how do we react to this? story? >> i think we should put it in context. you

federal agents open fire in boston killing a man being tracked around the clock. fears he was planning to launch an attack as soon as today. but were others involved? also the eyes in the sky all across the country. a secretive fbi air force, nmal looking planes bristling with high-tech gear that could be peaking into your neighborhood even your cell phone, who are they watching? cruise disaster a race against time for hundreds missing, feared trapped under water, inside a capsized ship. rescuers banging hammers on the hull listening for any response. and the little pink pill for women. men have a little blue pill to help in the bedroom. are women about to get a boost of their own? nightly news begins right now. m. are women about to get a boost of their own? "nightly news" begins now. >>> good evening, we start here with a deadly confrontation outside boosten today between law enforcement and a man they feared might be preparing to launch an isis inspired attack. that man who police and federal agents had gone to question is dead shot after he came at them. autho

she joins us live from boston. nice to see you. >> nice to see you. >> this suspect was under 24-hour surveillance. we know that's a huge amount of resources being poured into one person. what does that tell you? >> so the facts that we know right now, just the factings rather than the motivation is 24-7 surveillance is rare for a joint terrorism task force. there's hundreds of investigations going on. to put those resources is rare so you knew they had more. the second fact that we know is both the fbi and boston police department approached him during the day in an open area. that is rare. in most instances when you have time you like to approach someone either at their office or their home in a confined space where they are not feeling hostile. so to approach them in a parking lot probably means they were in a hurry, that something was happening. the third fact that i want to relate is it's also very rare for the fbi and the boston police department or any local police department to do an approach together. they

given the history in boston very active. they've been involved in a lot of investigations including that of the tsarnaev family leading up to the boston marathon bombing. people involved when you have a big organization like that working. we are still working to get more information on this individual who was killed today here in boston. >> could be another home grown terror situation inspired by isis. thank you so much. >>> federal safety investigators in another fox news alert now releasing a preliminary report today on last month's deadly amtrak crash. as law makers on capitol hill grill top safety regulators and rail executives on why they didn't move faster to install critical upgrades that could slow down a speeding train before it barrelled into that curve in philly. crash killing eight people injuring hundreds more. peter doocy live for us in washington. i imagine there were tons of questions today. >> there were. we just learned why officials hadn't considered installing technology to slow down or stop out of contro

. >> let's go down to boston. apparently there's been an explosion at the boston marathon. i am told -- >> it was big, it was -- i saw a big amount of smoke come up. >> and you know you saw the moments after the blast people, civilians, you know, making tourniquets and saving people's lives. >> a lot of the injuries being on the lower part of the leg, which indicated a bomb that was close to the ground. >> i started working the phones because i've got a lot of sources in law enforcement. and one of the first significant pieces of information i got was that the paramedics were seeing ball bearings fall out of some of the wounded. >> here on the ground in boston, the fbi admits they don't know. they don't know if this is domestic or foreign, they don't know if it's lone wolf or a group. >> it went from being an explosion to being a bomb to being something that was created based on an al qaeda recipe. >> president obama made it clear today, the bombings in boston are being investigated as an act of terrorism. >> and it was late tuesday/early wednesday that they were able to ge
