5:00 pm
thanks for joining us anderson is next. good evening, thanks for joining us. we begin tonight with breaking news. another incident involving george zimmerman. george zimmerman suffered minor injuries today after he was shot at. it seems to be a road rage type incident. the other man who was involved actually called police last year he felt threatened by zimmerman. it had been two years since zimmerman was acquitted of murder. in that time he's had a number of run-ins with the law, everything from speeding to accumulations of domestic violence. ininvestigation into today's incident is still in its early stages the two men involved had about in an ongoing dispute.
5:01 pm
>> at 12:45, george zimmerman flags down a police officer in lake mary florida. he says hey, i was just shot at and there's a bullet hole in the side window of his car that seems to verify that. he was not struck but broken glass struck him in the face. about the same time a third party 911 call comes in a man who says he had a guy come up to him and says hey, i just shot george zimmerman call the police. this man also says the shooter claimed to him that george zimmerman had waived a gun, there by matthew apperson said he had to shoot at george zimmerman. the interesting thing is so far this evening, nobody has been charged with anything. police are continuing to investigate. >> zimmerman, as we said has had a number of run-ins with the law since his acquittal in 2013?
5:02 pm
>> he's had quite a few run-ins, which surprises people many would have thought he would have a low profile, he does not. three weeks after he was acquitted in the trayvon martin case, he was pulled over for speeding. let's go over some of them and the list is significant. september 2013 he has an alleged altercation with his estranged wife and father-in-law. he's detained not arrested. then november 2013 he's picked up aggravated assault and other charges, his then girlfriend asked for no charges, so he was not prosecuted. then we've got september 2014 an alleged road rage incident he wasn't arrested we know now that was matthew apperson. finally january of this year he's arrested on another domestic violence case. the girlfriend recants, no charges filed there. >> zwimimmerman's attorney spoke
5:03 pm
out what about he say? >> george zimmerman's minding his own business driving down the road. there's a light behind flashing his lights honking the horn george says he rolls up his passenger window and the next thing he knows, a bullet comes flying through, narrowly missing his head. there's no mention, of course to george zimmerman threatening with the gun, which is what the other man claims happened today as well. >> did police say anything about george zimmerman being -- was he armed at this time? >> they did not talk about that it is well known that in a number of instances, george zimmerman has a weapon he's licensed to carry one. did he have a weapon in his vehicle? police weren't commenting at this particular juncture it will be interesting, there are body cameras on the authorities, you'll get the first impression of george zimmerman after he was fired at coming through that video who it's released. >> martin referenced the man who made the 911 call. his name is kenneth cornell, he worked close to where this incident happened.
5:04 pm
kenneth joins me with more on what he saw. walk us through what happened. you were getting out of your car when someone called shouting for you to call 911. >> a guy came driving up screaming out his window someone please call 911, guys, hey, please call 911. so i was kind of walking over him a little bit. what's happening, what's going on. he's like i just shot someone. please call 911. what? >> he's like no really. call 911. i said to him don't you have a phone? he said no i just shot george zimmerman, please call 911, really. i'm like what you shot george zimmerman? yes, sir, i shot george zimmerman. that's when i decided to call 911, picked up the phone and gave them a call and talked with them. and they went through some of the questions and that's when they heard him in the background. well let me speak with him. and he got on the phone, he's
5:05 pm
like my name is matt apperson i've been in a couple disputes with this guy, he was driving down the street wraving a gun at me that's when i shot him. >> he said this had been an ongoing dispute with george zimmerman? >> yes, sir. this is the third incident he had. >> do you know how they happen to be -- how they came to be driving down the same street at the same time? >> no. >> he was armed, did he say zimmerman was armed. >> he said he saw a gun. i don't know if he waived it at him or pointed at him. but he saw a gun. >> he saw george zimmerman's gun? >> yes, sir. >> and did he shoot him from his vehicle while he was driving? >> yes. >> as they were driving down the street he shot at him. >> at this point has anyone from the lake mary police department have they talked to you? >> the detective was supposed to come before 5:00 today, they did not get there and they will probably show up tomorrow, someone will be talking with me. >> i appreciate you talking with
5:06 pm
us. thank you. >> thank you very much for the time. >> joining me now, mark geragos and former federal prosecutor sunny hostin. what do you make of this road rage is one thing, to have had several road rage incidences with this same person, that seems bizarre to me. >> yeah it is rather bizarre, if it's true the third time. we apparently know of twice. i think the other thing in your interview, is the fact that the please were supposed to show up and talk to the -- at least one of the witnesses who was fresh on the scene and they didn't bother which tells you how much the police want to get involved with anything where george zimmerman is the complaining witness. >> sunny, what do you make of this. he has had obviously a number of run-ins? >> i think what's remarkable is that we are now talking about five incidents, three domestic violence incidents. two road rage incidents that have been reported. and all of them involving allegations of george zimmerman
5:07 pm
brandishing a gun. that is an aggressive action. he seems to say every time he's the victim he's on the receiving end. it calls into question certainly his credibility. his state of mind. what is going on with george zimmerman? and i think what is also going to be quite ironic anderson is if this shooter is charged with aggravated assault or attempted murder his defense will be he was standing his ground against george zimmerman because he feared for his life because george zimmerman was brandishing a gun. it's ironic at the very best. >> i assume police would have searched the vehicle to see if george zimmerman did have a weapon on him? >> well, my question is they either searched the vehicle or they didn't care all that much. at a certain point they've seen that every one of these post acquittal incidents ends up in nothing happening. so why are they going to pursue
5:08 pm
this and kind of drill a dry hole doesn't make a lot of sense. i'm just not so sure they really give a hoot about this case. >> it's interesting, though, mark, a lot of people who have been in the news who have been acquitted of crimes or of a trial, they choose to kind of lay low, casey anthony, certainly, for example. >> casey anthony. you have to wonder about george zimmerman, either he's attracting issues or just by the very reality of who he is people recognizing him, trouble seems to follow him. >> he obviously was a polarizing figure. there's a lot of people who would like to take him out or provoke him, i suppose, so in his defense, he could always argue that. but it does seem that trouble seems to follow him, whether he instigates it or he's the recipient of it. >> i think that's pretty char it
5:09 pm
an. >> that's pretty charitable. the discussion that -- >> the discussion mark that somehow trouble just follows george zimmerman, let's face it not one, two, three, but five instances of george zimmerman brandishing his gun at other people. he claims i was not the aggressor with trayvon martin he's not an aggressive guy. i think we need to call it what it is. >> if you believe what's being reported. three of the incidents involve this guy. i don't know who has the fascination or fetish here there's something going on between these two. >> well we -- >> it's more than three incidents, it's six all together. >> he's talking with this one guy. >> sunny, we'll see you, mark geragos, thank you. set your dvr, you can watch 360 whenever you want. just ahead, the other cleat drops for tom brady over the so

5:13 pm
the nfl suspended tom brady for four games without pay after an investigation found he probably knew the balls were
5:14 pm
intentionally deflated that sent his team to the super bowl. brady's agent called the punishment rid cue house and he'll appeal. the patriots have been fined $1 million and will lose their first round draft pick in the next draft. brady denied any wrongdoing. he didn't say much about it at all last week when the report from the nfl commission came out. cnn correspondent rachel nichols joins me now. you just within the last hour received a statement from the agent. what else did he say? >> he's going full barrel on this one, the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis. he said in my opinion, the outcome was predetermined, that's a pretty serious accusation. there's no fairness in the wells investigation whatsoever he also disputed one key component of the disciplinary handdown he said tom cooperated fully with the investigation. he answered every question presented to him, he made the
5:15 pm
statement going-forward, we will appeal appeal and if the hearing officer is completely independent and neutral, i am confident the wells report will be exposed as an incredibly frail exercise in fact finding and logic. the nfl has a history of making poor disciplinary decisions and they are often overturned. he lowers the hammer at the end of the statement, he says sadly today's decision diminish's the nfl as it tells its fans players and coaches that the games on the field don't count as much as the games played on park avenue. that's obviously referring to the nfl offices. i want to take you back to the second to last part of that statement. he talks about a truly neutral arbitrator. the appeals process is set up. tom brady has three days to appeal. roger goodell, it's his officer -- his executive vice president who levied this punishment, there's a procedure in place for roger goodell if he
5:16 pm
wants to to designate someone outside the league. and as tom brady's agent points out, when they have picked someone outside the nfl in the past those decisions have in fact been reduced or overturned. not so much when they pick someone in the nfl, it's fully up to roger goodell, it's at his discretion who he appeals. as for the patriots themselves robert craft has come out a few days ago, saying they don't plan too appeal. this million dollar fine the largest ever leveeied against the team. >> i want to bring in sports columnist of weei.com and drew rosenhaus. as an agent, what's your reaction? do you think it's fair? is missing four games without pay enough? >> i think it's unfair.
5:17 pm
it's way too steep, it's harsh, the nfl is on a mission right now, to repair some of the mistakes that they made in the past penalties. >> absolutely. there's no justification to suspend brady four games, there's no real evidence here there's no way they can take a first round pick which is a coveted thing, a record find and a fourth round pick this is unprecedented. the nfl league office on this one, out of control. and rachel said it best what's really scary is that they can make up these unfounded disciplinary decisions and then the appeals process is anything but neutral. the people who hear it are people who work for roger goodell or roger goodell himself. that is a joke there has to be a neutral arbitrator in all of these cases, including this one. >> mike i know you've said that without a smoking gun, there wasn't proof that brady did anything wrong. and obviously the nfl they
5:18 pm
thought differently, you believe they're wrong here also? >> well clearly they're wrong, and i couldn't agree more withdrew remember guys this is not about the crime, but the cover-up and that's clearly what roger goodell is sending down and troy vincent, his right handman in this case is handing down in delivering this verdict, he is saying that you didn't cooperate fully, you didn't hand over the texts, even though we went out of our way to provide you protection and that is why the nfl is coming down not because they found that tom brady did anything illegal, as a matter of fact they stipulated in their initial findings they couldn't prove that tom brady did anything illegal. it's ridiculous it's a gross overreach of their authority, and i clearly expect this to be appealed perhaps down to one or two games or maybe even a suspension appealed all together. >> it's interesting to hear tom brady's agents saying they fully
5:19 pm
cooperated. the nfl said brady did not turn over the text. >> this is a two-pronged punishment. the nfl feels they caught him cheating at least in the respect of the phrase we repeated so many times over the past few days more probable than not. it's a standard that is similar to a civil case in our courts of law, is it a preponderance of the evidence and they feel their investigation for which they played millions of dollars and spent four months on showed a preponderance of the evidence more than half they feel tom brady was involved or had knowledge of this cheating at the organization. some of the lower level employees carried out this cheating. this is one prong of this discipline they feel their investigator found this to the standard they expect to hold. they don't want other teams around the league feeling, we can bend the rules a little bit. we can decide which rules we need to follow and which rules we don't. they want to put the hammer down
5:20 pm
and say you can't cheat. now the second prong of this is you better talk to us when we come to investigate. the nfl does not have subpoena power. they cannot force anyone to tell them anything. as you saw in the investigation, they cannot make tom brady hand over his cell phone records, the only power they have is the threat in future investigations that they are going to come down on you so hard for not cooperating, it is better to cooperate and voluntarily hand over your records, hand over your testimony, because if you don't the punishment is worse, for not doing, than for whatever you're scared you're going to show them by handing over. this is a little bit of a message to the rest of the league as well. >> a big concern that i have here is not only is the league heavy handed in the discipline but this is really has a huge impact. you're talking about a hall of fame quarterback, a legendary coach, the super bowl champs and this is a really severe
5:21 pm
penalty, now you've got an appeals process that is a joke. that is a double problem here and i think that something that absolutely has to be corrected. i'm sure that tom brady and his agent absolutely would be effective in appealing this. it really isn't a foundation whether he cooperated or not. you're suspended a guy four games, you're taking away his livelihood that's wrong. >> go ahead, drew. >> i just think that's wrong, you can't suspend people for that that. >> not oath that, but if i can interject. i wrote this after the story broke in january. this could have been dealt with so much differently by roger goodell, if he had brought the parties together in three or four days handed out an equipment violation. that's all this is. it looks like for all the world,
5:22 pm
the nfl conducted a sting operation, it spun out of control, pure and simple. >> we'll see what happens. appreciate it. just ahead, there are scenes of destruction throughout the central united states more than 70 tornados in the midwest and plains states tearing roofs off schools, leveling homes, destroying more than a third of a town in texas. we'll survey the damage coming up. ot the spring and bounce of a traditional mattress. you sink into it, but you can still move it around. now that i have a tempur-flex, i can finally get a good night's sleep. when i flop down on the bed, and it's just like, 'ah, this is perfect." wherever you put your body it just supports you. like little support elfs are just holding you. i can sleep now! through the night!

nearly everything you think
5:36 pm
you knew about how osama bin laden has been called into question from how he was found to the secret raid that took him down. >> tonight i can report to the american people and the world that the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden the leader of al qaeda. >> the announcement certainly stunned a lot of people in the weeks that followed. the white house shared more details about how the cia tracked bin laden to the compound in abadabad. we heard about the currier that led them too him. now veteran investigative journalist is calling that official account essentially a lie in the 10,000 word story in the london review of books. the raid was staged in the pakistani officials after an informant revealed that pakistani services were keeping bin laden locked up in that compound apart from the saudis. a stage raid and an elaborate cover-up.
5:37 pm
the white house and cia says it's nonsense i spoke to see more hersh earlier. >> you assert that the official american version of what happened to osama bin laden is almost entirely false. you said the pakistanis were hiding osama bin laden. they knew about the raid there was no firefight in the compound the saudis were fronting bin laden's expensive. they tossed his body outside a helicopter. what motive would the u.s. have for lying about this not just the u.s. but the pakistanis and saudis. >> much of what you said is whey write in my most recent article. all i can tell you is as far -- the simple way to describe is it the president -- or president did authorize the raid. the s.e.a.l.s carried it out, they killed bin laden, they got in and out successfully and the rest is hogwash. >> why would there be a massive conspiracy involving dozens of
5:38 pm
people in three different countries that has sustained itself until now -- what would be the motive for setting up this elaborate hoax? >> the critical thing, we weren't supposed to go public with the raid the deal with the rest of the staff of the upper reaches of the pakistani military community was that we were going to -- the s.e.a.l.s were going to go in kill this guy, grab the body take it out, 7 to 10 days i've had two different numbers, later -- the president, we were going to announce that president obama was going to announce we did a drone strike in the no man's land between pakistan and afghanistan, the hindu kush mountain area and my 2k3w0d we saw this big guy, he looked familiar we got bin laden, instead the night of the raid the president, the only thing the people talked to me miltly
5:39 pm
and intelligence people. he did it for political purposes. i don't know what was in the president's mind. he announced that we got him. >> look there are plenty of people who share your skepticism in this situation, there are members of s.e.a.l. team 6 who have gone public and said the raid happened as the government said their comrades put their lives at risk, shot at in the compound. are you saying they're lying? >> i'm saying i can tell you one thing, i don't know about o'neil he said we went in thinking we were going to die, which i think is a great exaggeration. i take no easy day or something like that certainly was not telling the truth about that i think his book -- there's a lot of stuff interesting in his book there's a lot of operational stuff that everybody, most of his fellow s.e.a.l.s laugh at. >> your main sources on this is one -- somebody you say is a retired intel against official who had access to the initial intelligence and the after
5:40 pm
action reports as well -- who's unnamed as well as a pakistani official from the isi who retired, i believe in the early '90s? >> well but two things the pakistani officials said i think he told one of your colleagues i have no evidence he certainly has no evidence he has no piece of paper, he knows what he learned in talking to his comrades and fellow senior officers. he learned right away. >> so our viewers who haven't read the article, there's no documented evidence for what you're saying? >> absolutely i don't think there's a piece of paper left. if you read the article also you know that at 134 point about a year or two after the raid the general -- admiral mcraven who was deeply involved in the planning of this purged all of the files in the pentagon of everything related to the bin laden raid and sent it to the cia, which because they have different rules, much more centered rules about dealing with freedom of information requests. they can deny almost anything
5:41 pm
based on operational security. >> why go through having a raid? i mean no matter -- even if there was a member of pakistani intelligence they're walking them through the compound even if the guards were removed, any kind of venture into pakistan any kind of military operation comes with risk. if the pakistanis were in control of bin laden this entire time why not just have them kill him and hand over his body. i'm not sure why they needed to have this delicate raid at all. >> if you believe that osama bin laden who after 2001 was the most hunted fugitive in the world, the most vicious enemy of america. if you believe that he decided at some point five or six years down the road that he -- oh, the place to go to hide out and be safe was in abadabad. where a lot of upper class
5:42 pm
people go his house wasn't very ritzy, he was going to go there, the west point of pakistan their military economy was a mile or two away. the regimented headquarters was two or three miles away. it's the old joke as i wrote in the article, it's a louis carroll story. it's a fabulation. it can't be right. >> it's a fascinating article, i encourage everyone to read it. >> it was fun doing this. >> a lot of people not just white house officials are taking issue with mr. hersh's reporting. joining me now, peter bergen. one of the few journalists who have interviewed bin laden face to face. he visited his compound after the raid. >> you heard what cy hersh said tonight. he's broken important stories years ago, what do you make of this one.
5:43 pm
>> that's all true but the firefight that took place at the bin laden compound is incontrovertibly true. the fact that this was a piece of performance art is not -- there's no evidence for that in fact there's a lot of counter failing evidence. you mentioned in your interview, you have the two s.e.a.l.s on the record explaining about the firefights i saw with my own eyes the damage this raid inflicted on the compound before it was demolished. >> he's saying there are no other shots fired than the shots killed by bin laden. >> that's right. >> you saw bullet holes? >> i mean i -- there was quite an intense exchange -- dozens of bullet holes in one of the houses in the compound before they even got to bin laden, that factual element we can set aside. there was a firefight, there wasn't a setup between the u.s. and pakistanis which is one of the principal claims. >> there is a report tonight that doesn't corroborate
5:44 pm
everything or a majority of what hersh alleges. a tipster did walk up to the u.s. embassy in islamabad to tip off american officials about bin laden's whereabouts? >> well that's a very interesting report and i think we need to dig into it the deputy director of the cia has a new book out and he's going to be on cnn, he's the operational guy in charge of this operation. and i think it's a good opportunity to ask him about this. i mean the fact that there was a walk in -- the possibility, you know that's an interesting new dimension of the story, i think it needs to be dug into. who that walk in was, what he said how it fits into the larger picture, it's not clear yet. >> what hersh is also basing this article is that essentially the saudis were supporting bin laden for years while he was in hiding which i mean bin laden was a sworn enemy of the saudis. >> right, if there's one person
