"erin burnett outfront" starts "erin burnett outfront" starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com next breaking news, a school shooting at a new mexico middle school. new details about the young gunman. plus, how did a southwest plane land at the wrong airport? inside the cockpit for an exclusive bird's eye view of what happened. and a new crisis in the u.s. heroin. let's go outfront. >> good evening, i'm don lemon. we'll begin with breaking news.
4:01 pm
two shootings, the first one in new mexico involving a 12-year-old who entered his middle school gym and opened fire. two students were involved. one. critical -- two students were wounded, one in critical, the other serious condition. miguel marquez has the latest. 12 years old, really? is this youngest yet? >> shockingly it is not. 1998, there was a young man by the name of andrew goldman who shot and killed five people in jonesboro -- an arc. this is the first time in a long, long time we will have seen anyone this young. we should be shocked but the way these things are going, it doesn't seem we can be shocksed by these shootings anymore. >> unbelievable. we look at video of the shooting now. apparently it was a shotgun. it isn't small. do we know how he got into the school? >> police are saying had he it in a bag. there are reports it was put into an instrument case of some sort.
4:02 pm
that's how he got into the gymnasium of the school. it was cold in roswell this morning, this happened about 7:30 in the morning. he walked into the gymnasium 37 because it was so cold out. this is a middle school, sixth grade to eighth grade. they were all in the gym. he walked in, said the governor of new mexico and started to open fire. it is still not clear if he was aiming for these two particular individuals or just an angry young man wanting to kill. >> miguel marquez, thank you for your reporting. let's talk about the other shooting where a 71-year-old retired police officer is facing life in prison after allegedly shooting and killing a man who was texting during a movie. it all started during the previews ahead of monday afternoon's showing of the film "lone survivor" outside of tampa florida. 43 chad oulson was at the movies with his wife texting with the baby-sitter taking care of their young daughter. whites say the ex-cop curtis reeves told oulson to put his phone away. they argued but authorities say
4:03 pm
there was no physical contact. oulson did throw popcorn at reeves. that's when the police say reeves took out a semi-automatic handgun and shot oulson. martin savidging withing this sad story. martin, you're on the ground now. must be a shock obviously to the community. how are they dealing with the tragedy? >> i think, don, they are like the rest of the country absolutely shocked and dumbfounded that this could happen. the movie theater which is located behind me here remains closed tonight. the sheriff at a news conference this afternoon, you could see he was visibly taken. and in fact, he says that this community and this is pretty much a rural area, not the beaches and palm tree kind of florida but the farm fields and tall trees kind of florida. they are offering ptsd counseling for everybody in the community because that's how deeply this tragedy has been felt. so like everybody, we're how does it is happen. that's the feeling here, don.
4:04 pm
>> there you are back in florida. you know when we talk about florida, this happened there, is there any talk of stand your ground? >> reporter: yeahia, well that was the first thing that came up in a lot of people's minds. curtis reeves, the suspect who is in custody is claiming that there was an unknown object that was thrown into his face that came from chad oulson, he says. now the witnesses there say the only thing that was thrown after this heated argument was a bag of popcorn. that was it. there were no punches thrown. but the defense attorney was implying it could have been something else. so immediately the sheriff's office began investigating on the grounds of could it be a stand your ground case. the detectives have come back and the sheriff says there is no way they could use stand your ground in this case and do not see it as a legitimate defense. >> reeves was part of a similar incident before prosecutors say. what are you hearing? >> this is weird. this came out both at the hearing. there was a bond hearing today
4:05 pm
held for reeves, and he appeared by a video link and had what looked like some sort of protective clothing. the prosecution alluded to this. a woman has now come forward and said that two weeks ago, she was in this very same movie theater and she was also using her phone in some way and was accosted by a man. she is implying and the prosecution is implying this is the same man, curtis reeves in custody now for the shooting. she's implying he apparently had words with her and she felt very uncomfortable and it was considered to be an altercation. the authorities are investigating. they don't know yet if it was the same man or not. but it certainly is stranging >> it certainly is. martin savidge, thank you very much. tonight, chris christie admits mistakes were made facing it new jersey lawmakers for his state of the state address, he couldn't avoid the george washington bridge scandal that has plagued his administration recently.
4:06 pm
so instead he tackled it right out of the gate. >> mistakes were clearly made. and as a result, we let down the people we're entrusted to serve. i know our citizens deserve better. much better. i'm the governor. and i'm ultimately responsible for all that happens on my watch both good and bad. now, without a doubt, we will cooperate with all appropriate inquiries to ensure that this breach of trust does not happen again. >> i wonder if it was some sort of let's get this out of the way strategy. jake tapper, did he do enough to address the scandal in his speech? he quickly moved on after he addressed it at the top. >> yeah, that was the game plan. he did three basic points when it came to the bridge scandal. he said that mistakes were made although you could quibble whether or not a vendetta is a
4:07 pm
mistake. mistakes are made. he accepted responsibility. said he would cooperate with any appropriate investigation. and then with that said i moved on. one of the interesting points that he made in his state of the state address was he kept on talking about working in a bipartisan fashion. now, of course, in a state with a democratic legislature and republican governor by definition, it has to be bipartisan. but that is the selling point he's been trying to make not only here in new jersey to voters but to republicans about winning an election. look at me. i can win democratic voters and work with democrats and get things done. of course, that reputation for building bridges has been undercut a bit by this bridge scandal. >> he said this george washington bridge scandal, this is a quote does not define new jersey but inevitably in some way, i don't want to read too much into this, is this going to inevitably define chris
4:08 pm
christie, jake? >> i guess it's tough to say right now, but it's certainly the biggest controversy he's ever of had to endure. so in that sense, yes, in the sense that if you look at every politician, if there is a controversy or i an scandal on his watch that ends up defining him to a degree, you can say the obamacare roll out defines president obama to a degree. you can look at the war in iraq or the handling of hurricane katrina in the aftermath and say that defines george w bush. it will always be part of the litany of biographical details. it's hard to imagine this won't be in that, but christie has an opportunity i think it's fair to say to move beyond it if it turns out that he truly had nothing to do with it, but the idea that staffers of his were involved in this apparently for a political vendetta, yes, that will probably be with him for a long, long time. >> what you're saying it's not
4:09 pm
the mistake, it's the recovery. sometimes that's more important than the actual mistake. jake tapper, thank you, sir. and still to come, new developments in the madeleine mccann case. the world followed every detail in the search for this little girl and now there might finally be a break in this case. plus a southwest airlines airplane lands at the wrong airport. how could this happen? tonight we take to the airplane to find out. a shocking new crisis in america. you don't want to miss this report on heroin. ♪ [ male announcer ] your eyes. even at a distance of 10 miles... the length of 146 football fields... they can see the light of a single candle. your eyes are amazing. look after them with centrum silver.

4:38 pm
chris christie, his state of the state address. he touched on issues about his state. he didn't focus his entire speech on it. last year your entire speech was about education. this year it's drug addiction. there's unemployment, all kinds of things to be talked about. do you think this is that big of an issue cloos the country that you would devote your entire state of the state to it? >> you know, i'm not going to comment on the rest of the country. but i can tell you when you talk to vermonters and the folks addicted, and the rise in crime you know, we don't have the crime in vermont. we're a place where suc leave your key in the car. you don't have the to lock your door, where we trust each other. but the rise in the kind i have crime that happens when you're feeding an addiction habit that can cost up to $450,000, $50,000 a year before you put a roof on your head, are food on the table, there's no question that this is a challenge that really does potentially sacrifice the extraordinary quality of life
4:39 pm
that we cherish in vermont. my job as governor is to work together with folks to find more creative ways to deal with it. >> i want to bring bob in now. you know about this personally. you deal with people now dealing with this issue. why is it so dangerous and more addictive, it appears, than other drugs? >> well, opiates in general are the most addictive substance on the face of the earth. the fact is, what the governor is saying and i commend you so much, thank you so much. he's saying some of the things that i've known and been trying to say for the last five years. which is this is a tsunami across america, vermont, las vegas, i work all over the country. this prescription drug epidemic laid the fertile soil for this heroin addiction and the desperationing that an opiate add diblth feels when they need a fix makes them doll outrageous and crazy and violent things. and this is -- i'm just so
4:40 pm
touched by what i'm hearing from the governor. this is amazing. we're going to deal with this blob but we first have to know that it exists. 100 americans are going to die today from opiate related death. 100 today. >> bob, the governor has asked for more money for treatment programs. at the said in his annual address incarcerating a person for a week costs about $1120. and for treatment the a state finance center it costs $123. i mean, how hard is this addiction to treat and should we be putting people into treatment rather than locking them up? >> well, of course, it's more cost efficient. but we need new -- on my side of the table we need more new and invative methods of dealing with addiction and addiction treatment. for accountability to the pay yee and that's what i hope is this new generation i have drug treatment is going to be new and invative and work with

4:49 pm
god for bid when they happen, it it is our job to learn from them. >> and reach children hopefully before it gets this far. >> i want to bring inning judge glenda hatchett and mell robbins, a former legal aid criminal defense attorney. this is horrific, judge hatchet. when you hear this case, how is it that a little young boy like this can be let down not only by his family, by law enforcement, by child welfare agencies, that are supposed to protect at risk kids? >> well, but the question really becomes, don, whether he was still being monitored after the custody was transferred to his father. and as i understand it, the mother lost custody. the father got custody. and at that point, had there not necessarily been allegations or complaints made of an investigation at that point, i am not sure that the authorities would have had any idea that
4:50 pm
this child was being tortured. and i don't know that the system is designed to protect every child that is at risk. i mean, that is just the real reality of what happens because parents have rights. and unless you can show that there is a pattern of abuse, that there is some reason for the child >> judge, i want you to respond to this and then mel. are we talking here really about it starts with the family. it starts at home. this a breakdown of the family, judge? >> it is a breakdown in a situation where this father made an assumption about a caretaker. as i understand, he had not been dating very long. the question is are we really looking at who is caring for our
4:51 pm
children? i have seen so many of these cases on the bench where somebody else is caring for a child that ends up abusing them and often killing them which is a question of judgment. >> mel? >> don, i want to scream honestly when i read through the details in this case. and here's a couple of things. this kid fell so far through the cracks he fell into the arms of a monster. i'm going to say something that a lot of you at home are going to call me really horrible for saying. but the first line of defense for any kid is the family. the mother failed this kid in 2012 when the kid was taken away. he was then given to his father who i don't know about you, but how it is that the department for child welfare determines that a guy with at least 13 arrests is the appropriate place for the custodial home of this kid? i mean, that's a whole another question. and then the guy gets arrested and there's no system in place where one computer talks to
4:52 pm
another and if the kid's been in the system somebody's alerted to go check on him if the custodial parent is arrested. i'm not done yet. here's the thing that really makes me angry, aside from the monster killing this kid, is the fact that this monster had this child not for one day, don, not for two days, not for three days, he had him for three weeks. over the holidays. this kid has aunts and uncles and grandparents. >> who went to see about him? >> that's my question, was this a breakdown in the family? because we keep blaming everyone, yes. there needs to be a safety net. >> of course it is. >> the first line of defense is the home. >> i agree with you, don. >> a family in place. judge hatchet and mel, these type office cases involve parents, children of all different races. 13-year-old christin choo from indiana killed after he was beaten, starved and locked in a dog cage by his father and

stepmother back in 2009. the indiana department of child services visit ed christian's household more than ten times before he was killed. last year, 6-year-old kalil wains was beaten, starved to death, locked in an empty room with only a urine-soaked mattress after officials released the boy back into the care of his parents. in both of these cases authorities were aware of the situation that these children were in. [ overlapping speakers ] >> i'll tell you, one strike and you're out. as far as i'm concerned, the decision to become a parent is one of the most sacred and important responsibilities that you can make as an adult. and if you screw up just once and you abuse that kid, you have proven to society you're not the appropriate person to have the child. i don't care what kind of training you go through. >> i understand that. i have seen thousands and thousands of cases, and there have been some -- now, i understand that it doesn't happen all the time. but i have seen some situations where people have actually been
4:54 pm
rehabilitated, the children have been put back with families, and they have actually done extremely well. so to say one strike and you're out i think is too broad a brush. because it has to be an individual situation that we have to assess. i really believe that strongly. >> if this case could not get any worse, we are told by police that the boy's body still has not been claimed, all right? even in death. >> oh, my goodness. >> thank you guys. >> how is that pop possible? they're having press conferences, don. the family's having press conferences around not even claiming the body? >> beyond tragic. >> we'll talk more i'm sure. hopefully this doesn't happen again but sadly the evidence shows it will. still to come, it's called lawrencing. we're going to explain what it is next. our money. joe doesn't know it yet, but he'll work his way up from busser to waiter to chef before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. he'll start investing early,
