 From NPR news in Washington, I'm Jack1 Speer.Republicans from Capitol Hill to the campaign trail are harshly criticizing the president for his address about the San Bernardino terror attack. Donald Trump2 says he's calling for total and complete shutdown on Muslims entering the US. NPR's ML has more. Republicans blasted president Obama for a weak response for not laying out a new strategy against IS and for being unwilling3 to declare war on radical4 Islam. Donald Trump who has claimed he would bomb the hell out of IS is now calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the US. It would not be permanent according to the Trump press release. It will last quote 'until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.' President Obama in his address on Sunday said IS was a real problem. Muslims must confront without excuse but he also rejected any proposals that Muslim Americans be treated differently. That kind of divisiveness, he said, would betray our values and play right into the hands of IS. ML, NPR news, the White House.

A police officer got out of his car and began shooting. Police say Johnson was attempting to flee with the gun in hand. State attorney Anita Alvarez says just because Johnson was running away doesn't mean he couldn't still shoot at officers. 'You have to consider the mental state of the police officer at the time that this happens. What does he reasonably believe.' The family of Ronald Johnson has filed an excessive force law suit against the police and said a gun was planted on Johnson. For NPR news, I'm SA in Chicago.
