Good morning. It's Saturday, November 29th. I'm Charles Coleman Jr. in for my friend and colleague Ali Velshi.

0:14.7

We begin this morning with new developments in the investigation into Wednesday's deadly ambush of two National Guard members who were on patrol

near the White House. Specialist Sarah Bextrum and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf were both shot in the
