CNN: Chicago PD Identify Persons of Interest in Jussie Smollett Attack

EXCERPT:

YOUNG: “One of the things that we know is During this attack or after the attack there was an image that was put out of the two persons of interest. And even the actor said there was a lot of frustration at the fact of how this has been taking to identify the persons who he believes are the ones who attacked him. Well now Chicago police believe they have identified those two men. We're not -- they haven’t gone into whether or not they were able to talk to them yet, whether or not they have them in custody. But this is a major development in the case. What we have learned from the actor, of course, is the fact that he pointed out the camera to police and that it was pointing in a different direction after attack. That attack happen, of course, two weeks ago. He claims, the actor, that he was walking back from a subway when two men approached him, yelled some things at him and then started attacking him. He fought back. He said at some point he noticed it was a rope around his neck and the smell of bleach on his clothing. Since then there just have been questions about what happened, where did these men run off to? And so now we know the police, the 12 detectives that have been working on this case around the clock since it happened, have identified the two men who they wanted to find. It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few days, after they talk to them and then try to figure out what happens next. But Poppy and Jim this is a major development in this case."
