Prosecutors have released some new details in last weekend's Portland shooting, including some screenshots of new surveillance footage from the seconds before. It first shows Reinoehl and Danielson (behind him) walking along the same sidewalk, apparently not in conflict.
Authorities said Reinoehl looks back toward Danielson. While nobody seems to be bothering him, Danielson appears to already be carrying mace in one hand and an expandable baton in the other. Reinoehl moves into a parking garage and puts his hand around his waistband.
After that, Reinoehl comes out of the parking garage. The shooting occurs seconds later.

Previous video seems to show Danielson lifting to spray mace as you can hear gunshots. Reinoehl said in the VICE interview he was acting in defense of himself and others.

So, did Los Angeles cut the Fire Department budget or increase it? There are lots of people trying to score political points on that question.

If you are among the exclusive group of people who care about understanding the more complicated reality, here is a brief thread.

1/6
Last year, the mayor approved a $23 million budget cut for the fire department, including:

• Eliminating 73 civilian positions
• Reducing money available to pay firefighters’ overtime by $7.9 million

BUT…

nytimes.com/2025/01/09/us/…
When the budget was signed, the city was still negotiating a new contract with the firefighters’ union. After that was settled, more money was approved, so the total fire budget is now actually $53 million more than last year.

BUT…

NEW: We have obtained more details about Shamsud-Din Jabbar, his descent into radicalization, and some of his final words as he drove toward his attack in New Orleans.

THREAD 1/8
In one of his final messages, Jabbar told his family: “I wanted you to know that I joined ISIS.”

Then, a chilling addendum: “I don’t want you to think I spared you willingly.” He described how he had considered a fake “celebration” for them.

Story:

2/8nytimes.com/2025/01/04/us/…
Jabbar’s family members said his radicalization was a secret to them.

But they had noticed changes: He was stressed financially, upset about “genocide on both sides” in the Middle East, and expressing disgust of partying (something, we found, was once part of his life).

We spent much of today interviewing a series of people who knew New Orleans attacker Shamsud-Din Jabbar, including his brother, who spoke to Jabbar recently.

“I would have never imagined him doing something like this,” he told us.

1/8
There is much more detail here in this story, thanks to reporters on the ground in New Orleans and Houston, and others digging through his history on the internet and in the military.

But I’ll also thread some of the details we learned today.



2/8nytimes.com/2025/01/01/us/…
Jabbar’s brother, Abdur, tells us the two grew up Christian but that his brother converted to Islam.

A woman who used to be Jabbar’s neighbor recalled him as someone who played with his kids and was always courteous, referring to her as “ma’am.”

NEW: We have reviewed search warrant records in the case of Idaho killings suspect Bryan Kohberger. Among items seized from his apartment:
• a black disposable glove
• possible hair strands
• computer
• items with red or brown spots/stains
nytimes.com/article/univer…
Investigators said in one document they wanted to see if hair had transferred onto Kohberger and then back to his apartment. That included not only the hair of victims but the hair of Kaylee Goncalves’s dog.

One of the items collected was a “possible animal hair strand.”
Here is a list of the items seized by authorities during a search of Bryan Kohberger’s apartment.

We reviewed hundreds of messages (spanning 10+ years) from Idaho killings suspect Bryan Kohberger. In them, he describes prolonged and sometimes deep mental health struggles, along with an interest in high-profile criminals.

Thread with screenshots. 1/10

nytimes.com/2023/01/13/us/…
By 2009, at age 14, Kohberger reported struggling with a little-known neurological condition that impacts vision. He turned to a web forum for help, asking other people with the condition about feelings of hopelessness and depersonalization.

2/10
Two years later, in 2011, Kohberger described an extensive list of struggles, including a slack of emotion, constant thoughts of suicide, and a detachment from reality that made life feel like a movie.

Inside high schools, JROTC instructors have turned to NRA funding to help teach students about guns. And documents show those instructors have vowed to promote the NRA to students.

Here is a thread with a closer look at some of the records.

1/12
nytimes.com/2022/12/20/us/…
Some JROTC programs told the NRA how their weapons training could advance 2nd Amendment rights, such as this instructor in Texas that said it would foster positive attitudes “for these future voters and their families.”

2/12 Image
The NRA has been struggling with declining membership numbers in recent years. This instructor in Florida said they would encourage their high school cadets to join organizations such as the NRA.
