MALL IN SAINT CLOUD.
OFFICIALS CALLED IT A
PREMEDITATED ATTACK PLANNED IN
ADVANCE -- ACCORDING TO THE
COUNTY HE TOOK TO STATE NIGHTS
-- NICE FROM HIS PARENTS AND
DROVE TO THE MALL.
THAT IS WHERE HE STABBED 10
PEOPLE BEFORE BEING SHOT AND
KILLED BY POLICE OFFICER.

WE HEARD FROM THE SAINT CLOUD
POLICE CHIEF.

AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.
THEY TALK ABOUT THE EVIDENCE
THAT HAS BEEN COLLECTED SO FAR
IN THIS CASE.
THERE'S A LOT OF NEW
INFORMATION.
THEY SHARED WITH US WHAT THEY
LEARNED ABOUT THE SUSPECTS
BEHAVIOR.
THEY SAY IT CHANGED
DRASTICALLY.
HE LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT, HIS
GRADES AT THE UNIVERSITY BEGAN

RADICAL ISLAM.
THEY DO BELIEVE THAT THE ATTACK
WAS PREMEDITATED.

MANY OF THEM IF THEY WERE
MUSLIM.

THE MALL.
ATTACKING A TOTAL OF 10 PEOPLE.
ANOTHER VIDEO RELEASED TODAY
SHOWS WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE
MacY'S STORE.
THAT IS WHEN DAHIR ADAN
ENCOUNTERED AN OFF-DUTY POLICE
OFFICER.
IN THIS VIDEO YOU ARE ABLE TO
SEE A DIFFERENT VANTAGE POINT.
HOW THE OFFICER IS CONFRONTED
BY TRAIN 29.
HE ENDS UP SHOOTING HIM, HE
FALLS AND GETS UP AGAIN.
THIS VIDEO IS CRITICAL AS TO
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH THIS
OFFICER.
THE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
SAYS THE OFFICER WILL NOT BE
CRIMINALLY CHARGED.
HIS USE OF FORCE WAS JUSTIFIED.
HE WILL NOT BE CHARGED.
12 DIFFERENT WITNESSES

WAS AN OFF-DUTY POLICE OFFICER
IN DIRECTING HIM TO DROP THE
WEAPONS.
JUST INSIDE THE MacY'S STORE

AFTER 3 SECONDS HE JUMPED TO
HIS FEET AND CHARGED AT THE
OFFICER WITH THE NICE.

ACCIDENT THAT WAS INVOLVED IN.
ON HIS WAY TO THE MALL HE
