"outfront" tonight, we begin with breaking news. boston police at this hour searching the home of a
4:01 pm
suspengted terrorist gunned down today in boston. investigators believe the 26-year-old may have been part of an isis terror cell. police say that when they approached rahim this morning for questioning, he turned suddenly pointing a large brack knife at him. the officers said he backed away ordered him to drop the weapon. he refused. they opened fire and hit him twice. they say they have the video to prove it but rahim's brother, an imam tells a different story. he says his brother was waiting to go to work at a bus stop when police approached him and shot him three times in the back. breaking newed outside of rahim's apartment where a search is under way right now. >> that's right, erin. officers have been outside of his apartment all day long since the morning hours. they're now inside. we can see the tents set up on the back side of the apartment as investigators begin their search of his home. this is a man who police say was
4:02 pm
inspired by isis. they say he had recently used social media to make threats against police officers. they encountered him this morning outside of a cvs. they had been following him 24 hours a day. he was under surveillance by the joint terrorism task force. authorities say he died after he was shot twice once in the torso, once in the abdomen. first, high waved a military style knife at them and refused to retreat, didn't listen to verbal commands to drop the knife. that's the account from police. officers say they have surveillance video from some of the stores in the plaza will which back up the account, but the video has not been publicly released at the time. it's up to the district attorney's office to determine whether or not to publicly make the video available, but we do know that the boston police commissioner has reached out to the black and muslim community leaders and there will be a private viewing of that surveillance video tomorrow
4:03 pm
morning for this select group of people who have been invited. and erin authorities from the district attorney's office and also the police department tell us this is part of their ongoing effort to try and show the utmost transparency. they say they want to be very up front with the community in whatever way they can be while not publicly releasing the video in order not to jeopardize the investigation. >> thank you very much. reporting live from boston tonight. and deb feyerick is out front now. as alex is saying there's going to be a private viewing of the video for local leaders, for imams, because the family is saying that police are not telling the truth. that this is not how it happened. his brother, in particular is saying a very, very different turn of events went down. what does he say actually happened? >> what he's saying and he's the one who posted on facebook and twitter identifying his brother as the man who was yielding or wielding the knoif. he said his brother was at the cvs, catching a bus to go to work when he was, in his words,
4:04 pm
confronted by three boston police officers. now, we know that at least one was an fbi agent. they wanted to question him because police believe some of his tweets were becoming increasingly alarming so they stopped him to speak to him at that point. and that's when according to the brother, rahim actually got obhis cell phone to talk to his father because he needed a witness. again, that's according to the brother. and the father heard the fatal shots. the brother saying that he was shot three times in the back. police saying no it was twice. once in the abdomen, once in the torso, and only shot because he refused repeated orders to put down the knife and he was approaching those investigators from the joint terrorism task force. >> thank you very much deb feyerick. it's amazing when you see the different stories here of what's happened. i want to bring in former cia oberative bob baer along with
4:05 pm
juliette who was a member of the joint police fbi task force that carried out the operation today. bob, let me start with you. we know rahim was taken extremely seriously. this is a guy who had been under 24-hour surveillance by police and federal agents wrrbl that means a lot of resources. this isn't something just posting a few random things on social media that they apprehend. this means this is significant. >> exactly, erin. you know to watch somebody like this you probably have to have 20 people on eight-hour shifts so 120 people maybe a day, and if there are two more people involved in this, we're talking about hundreds of people. and for jttf to put a surveillance team on somebody like this they have to have something very specific they have to worry about the guy. it can't just be social media. it's not something you do randomly. let's watch the guy for a couple days. it doesn't work that way. they're already overtasked in so many ways. they had something to go on and
4:06 pm
clearly, they were nervous about this guy, and jtff is not trigger happy and they don't shoot people in the back. i tend to take the fbi's version of this right now. >> right, right, and you mentioned there were two other they're watching. i want to talk about those, too, in a moment but first to you on the issue of what was about to happen. i mean, officials sayering i'll quote them the level of alarm brought them to question him today. they seemed intent on moving fast. they runt fronted him at the cvs bus stop not at his home they didn't go to a private place. you think this means they were very concerned something could happen very soon. >> that's absolutely right. as bob was saying they will have hundreds of investigations going on based on twitter or following social media or intelligence aspects coming in. they're not putting 24/7 surveillance on almost anyone. and so you have to just reading the signs here this was a
4:07 pm
serious incident and also to approach him in a public space is sort of -- it's not guest protocol but it's not desirable if you have have time to wait if they're at their office or home. you have a secure environment. things are less caustic. so just thinking through some of the -- at least what we see publicly right now, it's got to be that they were at least in a hurry to talk to him. >> so in a hurry, bob. juliet agreeing with what you're saying they're questioning two other people two associates they say, of rahim's. they were all under surveillance. as you point out, it takes about 120 people to watch one person 24 hours a day. we're talking about an incredible commitment of resources. what could they have been planning? >> well i think it's -- to go back again, more than just threats on twitter. they had to see them take some sort of action. anything from buying tickets to go to syria, to buying weapons, to buying explosives to being
4:08 pm
in touch with the islamic state, something like that e-mails. it's again, it wasn't just an average threat because remember again, going back to the surveillance i have done this for years. it's amazing. not a one cop following somebody. it's a lot of beaten up cars and people that don't look like police and follow them. they have to follow the house as well as -- look at the house as well as the person and associates so i think jttf in boston was on to something and they had to pull the trigger on this. >> juliette you live in boston. you were there when the boston bombing happened. it seems from the information we're getting, the tsarnaev brerths went to the same mosque where the suspect today who was killed or her brother was an imam for a time is there a connection? >> oh, i don't know if we can say so yet, especially if you look at the timing the tsarnaev brother were at the mosque many years ago. but you know obviously,
4:09 pm
tsarnaev was convicted and is now sentenced to the death penalty. that was definitely something of concern for people looking at this and i'd be curious when they started the 24/7 surveillance. was it in the last couple weeks since the trial ended? so i don't know if we can say there was a meeting there, but definitely if the facts lead to this mosque it may be that something was energized there. i know that mosque. it's about four blocks from my house. it's a good place. they're quite cooperative with the jttf. i sort of reserve judgment about what's going on because actually they have been very open about opening their doors. cnn know because i know they have been there. >> thanks varmuch to both of you. something extremely serious in terms of what they thought this man was planning or about to do. toot on cnn, a special report on isis what should the u.s. do now? 9:00 eastern with wolf right

4:14 pm
breaking news. a desperate search under way at this hour for more than 400 people after a cruise ship sank in just minutes. rescuers by the thousands have been working through the night, desperately searching for survivors. as you can see, in some of these cases, they literally have been using hammers to try to knock on the ship as a way to try to communicate, to tap to the inside to passengers who have been able to find isolated air pockets. so far, 14 people have been rescued, but as i said nearly 400 are on that ship. it was reportedly on a cruise along china yangtze river when it ran into a deadly storm.
4:15 pm
david begins the coverage live tonight in china where it's daylight. they searched through the night, and a frantic search is under way at this moment. >> that's right, they're in the staging ground of the searches behind me as scores have arrived on the scene to try to get any survivors out. as the hours tick by the situation is looking grim. they haven't entirely lost hope. new surveillance video purports to show the cruise ship eastern star sailing through a lightning storm less than 45 minutes before it capsized in the yangtze river. it's become a desperate race against time and the vast majority of the 458 passengers and crew onboard are still missing. this ship is floating upside down in about 50 feet of water. among the few survivors so far, the captain and chief engineer. they told authorities that late monday night, a sudden tornado caught the ship without warning. something chinese weather
4:16 pm
officials confirm hit the area. the vessel capsized so quickly, within a minute or two, that the crew couldn't get off a distress call. seven people swam almost two miles to shore and alerted police. now, more than 4,000 soldiers police and civilians crowd the scene. taps on the hull have been returned from inside but rescues have been rare. a diver described how he found a 21-year-old crew member still alive in the cabin. >> translator: the bottom of the ship had a layer of air cushion which was one and a half to two meters thick. he was sitting on an air pipe in the upside down cruise bottom. yes, there was a thin layer of air. >> miraculously one woman surfaced from under the ship. holding onto a rope she crossed the hull and collapsed in the arms of rescue workers. but hundreds remain missing. and heavy rains and high winds make a difficult rescue even
4:17 pm
worse. as the hours pass family members are demanding answers. their grief turning to anger. >> translator: you can't just mysteriously hold us all here and not give us an explanation. you can understand our feelings they just chuck us in here. they haven't even tried to make us feel better and we barely know how they plan to deal with this. >> certainly, the weather continues to be a problem. it's been raining all throughout the night here and into this morning, and though they are rushing to the scene with specialists search and rescue teams, the prospect of finding people is becoming slim at this hour. >> all right, thank you so much david. just the poignant moment and the man with the hammer and taps inside there are people in there alive, trying to get out. investigators are trying to figure out the final moments before the luxury vessel which is owned by the state, owned by china, to try to figure out what happened. why did it capsize, and so quickly? chad myers is out front.
4:18 pm
what do we know right now about this boat? a riverboat, right? >> a riverboat. higher in its being than it is wide. we're talking about a 250-foot long boat about 40 feet wide. if you look at it the sail area as we call it the side of the ship is much taller than what's under the water, cause it to be a little tipsy. what's underneath is the ballast that holds the ship in place. that's how you get a taller ship than a deeper ship. yesterday was just a dreadful day. the warning was there. there was one storm in the area but it got so intense, the updraft was so intense that we know the chinese equivalent to the national worth service said, yes, there was a tornado. right now, maybe 80 miles per hour but maybe more than that. don't know for sure that the tornado directly hit the ship. would that make it a water spout because it's on the water? technically, if it started on land i guess i would still caught it a tornado. passengers said it went quickover
4:19 pm
very quickly and then it continued to go down. weather has got analytal better from where we are. the storms have moved away the big red area has moved away. as soon as the ship got hit by the side the waves pushed the boat over and now that's what that boat looks like still a little sticking out of the water but not very much. >> so chad we talk about the tapping, that there are people inside tapping. what do you know at this point, given you're talking about the top heaviness of the boat about possible air pockets? >> because the ship is water tight, it's theoretically air tight. not perfectly, but yes, because ships leak. they just do. and pumps take that water, pump the water out, and the boat stays afloat. the air, if the air is hissing out of these small little areas where the wheels would be coming out of the back where the props would be you're going to start to lose some of that air. because this is a steel ship it's very heavy in itself so there's not just that two or three foot of air in there.
4:20 pm
there's more than that in there because the steel is causing the boat to be even lower in the water than it should be. it's not a wooden boat. it's a steel ship. so that steel ship pushes it down pressurizes the air in there, and as long as there's air inside this hull, i know you grew up with the movie and so did i, the poseason adventure, there's still that possibility the air pockets will hold survivors for days to come. >> we can only hope that's the case. i want to bring in allen, a former navy diver. he trains rescuers. so allen, you know we have them tapping with hammers trying to get response right? we have people inside tapping back. one of the survivors is saying the bottom of the ship had a layer of air that was 5 to 6 1/2 feet thick. does all that make sense to you? do you think there are survivors, a lot of them? how long can they survive? >> so i'm going to assume that you know there's air pockets, and with the amount of oxygens
4:21 pm
humans have to consume to stay alive, they're looking at two to four days of oxygen just to live. you know with more people in each compartment and where it's settled, that's the estimate i'm going to give two to four days. not a lot of time so they need to hurry to get the people out. >> two tofour days isn't a lot of time but it's more than some people might think. do you think they're going to be able to do this to rescue a lot more people? because when you hear about this it's only 50 feet of water. it seems much more accessible in some ways than some of the stories we hear where you have ships in hundreds of feet of water. >> so you know i have to have some hope that they are going to get more people out. you know it's difficult. they're dealing with the weather, they're dealing with the murky water that's there, and even though the ship is in relatively shallow water, the divers are doing the most they can to get the people out. but the combination of the murky water, the two to four day limit, with the lack of oxygen
4:22 pm
it's going to be tough. but if they're sticking lines down there to pump some of the compartments with oxygen then we're looking at maybe up to a week. >> so let's say they have up to a week and you're saying two to four days with the air they have. but allen, then how do you actually physically get someone out? right? because getting someone out when it's underwater involves water going in. how do you actually pull it off? >> so they're obviously looking for areas that maybe compartments are already filled with water. so this way, the pressure is already equalized, so they're going in cutting in the hole also trying to not find a weak spot where the ship might cruminal underneath them. the divers are very well trained, and with the training they've gotten they're looking for certain areas within the hole to get the people out. you're right that water rushes in. is this going to make it difficult to rescue somebody? they're also not only coming
4:23 pm
from the side but also trying to go in from the top. as you saw the images earlier, using blow torches to dig holes in through the hull. they're trying everything right now. the biggest thing they have to worry about is the pressure equalization but the divers are trained and they know what they're doing. >> i hope you're right that they end up having a week and they can save a lot of lives. only 14 known survivors right now out of 400 in the boat right now, many alive, desperately praying to be saved. "outfront" next, mike huckabee. he's learning why a transgender joke and here's the question is may really not have been a joke at all. might not be the best thing to do. and breaking news sources telling cnn major new evidence in the d.c. mansion murder case is breaking tonight. there's a stunning link between a victim and one of the suspects. we'll be right back.

4:26 pm
4:27 pm
tonight, shogging comments from mike huckabee about pretending to be a transgender. the comment were made in february but they're coming to light today after caitlyn jenner revealed her new identity on the cover of vanity fair. >> i wish someone had told me when i was in high school i could have felt like a woman who when it came time to take showers in p.e. where would have said coach, i think i would rather shower with the girled today. yet today, we're ridiculed and scorns because we point out the obvious. there's something inherently wrong with forcing little children to be a part of this social experiment. >> the social experiment huckabee is referring to are rules that allow students to use
4:28 pm
whatever bathroom responds to their gender itenty. dana bash is "outfront" to begin the coverage of this. these comments are getting a lot of attention because of caitlyn jenner. he was playing to his base making a joke but he was making more than a joke and he's done this before calling it all a social experiment. why should people be able to use the bathroom they identify with? what's the reaction now? >> you mention he was playing to his base. this is obviously something he cares about, and he talks about frequently and it is getting a lot of buzz as you said because of caitlyn jenner and because that is so much in the forefront of kind of the zeitgeist right now. he talked about it several months earlier, and it was about the idea of allowing men to use women's bathrooms and vice versa, and it of course sounds harsh that he appears to be making fun of transgender people and since his campaign isn't commenting, i can't tell
4:29 pm
you exactly what he metropolitanant, but he gets his message across by using over the top and focusy messages. he declined to answer a question on that today. as far as i can tell he hasn't given his position on transgender individuals in general other than as you mentioned, erin comments that he makes often about this idea which is really in front of a lot of local ordinances allowing people to use bathrooms of the opposite sex, which as you just heard, he believes is ridiculous. >> he absolutely does believe is ridiculous. dana bash thank you so much. "outfront" tonight, hln host dr. drew pinsky, and editor and chief of the daily beast, john avlon. mike huckabee is running for president. he's calling the move towards transgender equality a quote/unquote social experiment that he things is inherently wrong. >> well look he's entitled to his opinion, but it's
4:30 pm
insensitive. he's now bled over into misogyny and sexism in the course of his being insensitive to these issues. whether or not it's a social experiment whether or not psychologists have it wrong, he's not the one to say. the fact is there's a human being here these are human beings that deserve sensitive care and the best possible care by experts, not attack by their politicians. >> so john when you hear huckabee who is running for president, right, who specifically is talking about allowing people and children to use whatever bathroom they think corresponds to their gender identity as opposed to the gender identity others might perceive them as having. he said it a couple months ago, he said it in 2013. this is clearly what he believes. what do you think about it? >> it cleary is what he believes. i think he's out of step with the particular cultural moment. it's not surprising for someone who is a social conservative.
4:31 pm
the problem with the sound bite is he's clearly using it as a laugh line. you are dealing with real human beings and you don't like to see politicians divide and ridicule for political gain or simply to play to the base. the larger point, of course is we are undergoing a sea change in this country, in a gay sylph rights moment that a lot of the majority of americans now support marriage something that would have been unthinkable a decade ago, and bruce jenner coming out as a transgender, as caitlyn jenner is a new teachable moments that very powerful culturally but going to be challenging for a lot of folks. for him to try to demagogue it for laughs is needlessly divisive. >> i want to play something else huckabee said. let me play it so you can hear it from his own mouth. >> for those who do not think that we are under threat simply recognize that the fact that we are now in city after city
4:32 pm
watching ordinances that say that your 7-year-old daughter if she goes into the rest room can not be offended and you cannot be offended if she's greeted there by a 42-year-old man who feels more like a woman than he does a man. >> dr. drew some people might hear that and think there's something do that. is this a point people should take seriously? >> let's not -- there's confusion everywhere on these issues. they're confusing gender identity with sexual orientation. he's not helping the process, as we're saying there's a cultural moment when the issues are coming to the fore. people want to be sensitive, they want to understand this. this sounds very much like the kind of sort of frankly knuckle headed notions that people had about gay and lesbians not that long ago. and this is the same funonnom. should we not allow a gay man into a man's room either is that what you're saying? >> saying if you're transgender or gay, right, you're somehow some sort of a predator.
4:33 pm
>> you're -- exactly, a predator somebody who is going to act out on children. simply no relationship among those things and it's being used as a joke used for political gain and it's harming people. >> john to that point, mike huckabee recently defended josh duggar the reality star who sexually molested his own sisters. he said good people make mistakes and do regrettable and even disgusting things. he's asking us all to forget a straight man who is a sexual abuser but he's saying transgenders are dangerous to your 7-year-old daughter? >> yeah clearly a degree of double standard. a double standard rooted in the fact when mike huckabee was governor of arkansas he knew the duggar family. it's harder to demonize people you know directly. that's the problem with these situational ethics and playing to the cheap seats. when you're identifying a group at the other, which he is doing, and look this is a high degree of complexity as a several
4:34 pm
society. this is about forming a m caitlyn jenner to be educating people in real time about the difference between gender identity and sexuality, that may be a complex topic for some folks, but it's incumbent on our leaders to help us and not play to our lowest common denominators and trying to divide people which is what mike huckabee is doing. >> as dr. drew said confusing gender and sexual orientation. thanks so muff to both of you. i appreciate your time. >> "outfront" next breaking news. startling new forensic evidence in the d.c. mansion murders. tonight, it might break open the case. we have the breaking report next. and an american tourist killed by a lion at a big cat park. the third attack in the poork in four months. who's at fault? the tourists or the park?
4:35 pm
40% of the streetlights in detroit, at one point, did not work. you had some blocks and you had major thoroughfares and corridors that were just totally pitch black. those things had to change. we wanted to restore our lighting system in the city. you can have the greatest dreams in the world, but unless you can finance those dreams, it doesn't happen. at the time that the bankruptcy filing was done,
4:36 pm
the public lighting authority had a hard time of finding a bank. citi did not run away from the table like some other bankers did. citi had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. it's a brighter day in detroit. people can see better when they're out doing their tasks, young people are moving back in town the kids are feeling safer while they walk to school. and folks are making investments and the community is moving forward. 40% of the lights were out, but they're not out for long.they're coming back.
4:39 pm
breaking news. a major break in the d.c. mansion murders tonight. officials tell cnn blood from at least one of the victims has been found on the prime suspect, daron wint. wint is accused of torturing and killing a wealthy washington family last month. pamela brown is out live in washington. what are you hearing about the big break? >> we have learned that traces of blood were found on daron wint's shoes following his arrest a couple weeks ago. according to law enforcement officials i spoke with and to be colleague, evan perez. forensic analysis recovered traces of blood from one of the victims but sources would not say which of the victims of the four victims in the home the savopoulos family, the thecouple and they son and housekeeper, which one of the victims it belonged to but i think it's a big piece of evidence in the
4:40 pm
case along with the fact that d.c. police have said daron wint's dna was foun on a piece of pizza crust inside the home. >> and pamela i know you spoke with wint's former attorney who has since met with daron wint and what did he tell you about the conversation and obviously, this news is pretty damning for him. >> in the wake of all this erin the attorney who met with daron wint behind bars for a couple hours, said that daron wint maintained his innocence. he said through his attorney he would never kill anyone. he has a 14-year-old daughter. he said he would never kill anyone especially a child. in fact his attorney said he had really nice things to say about savopoulos one of the victims here. we have reported daron wint worked for savopoulos's company, american iron works more than ten years ago. apparently daron wint was praising him, and also was saying this must have been an inside job, someone who currently worked for the company, not him. >> pam, thank you very much.
4:41 pm
of course we do know at one point, daron wint was charged with showing up outside of american iron works with a machete, pled to a lesser charge. "outfront" next an american woman killed by a lion at a park. that park is open for business as usual today. what happened and who is to blame? and jeanne moos asked who's at fault for making san andreas so utterly unbelievable.
4:42 pm

lion park which instruct drivers to keep their windows closed at all times, and we're hearing from a source that also one of these leaflets was found in the vehicle itself. this is one of the leaflets that the park hands out to drivers. and it clearly states please be aware that wild animals by nature are dangerous. keep your windows closed and doors locked, at all times. that's because lions are clearly inquisitive and ingenious, as this video shows posted in 2014. a lion opening a car door with its teeth in a south african game reserve. >> i didn't know they could do that. >> the lion park which has been a tourist destination for celebrities like john legend and shakira, has had incidents with lions and humans before. three in the past four months. in march, a lion bit an australian tourist in the leg. he admitted he had his window down. but this is the first fatality where a lion has actually come through and open window.

the park says it is reviewing its practices, but these snenlts are few and far between. >> up until now, it has been absolutely adequate. if people follow the rules, it's a flawless system. as you said we night need to look at it in the future. >> the driver remains hospitalized as for the lioness, she's been moved to a separate part of the park away from the public. there are no plans to euthanize her. >> diana, thank you very much. joining me now, a wildlife biologist, jeff corwn. you heard the man from the lion park telling "outfront," look they're not taking responsibility for the fatal lion attack. and we actually spoke to a director of operations there. he told us quote, if the rules had been followed this wouldn't have happened. the rules being doors locked window up. do you agree? >> i do agree. these are wild animals. they're very powerful. they are the top predator in

africa. and you have to remember that these animals are not living in a truly wild state. they have been raised by human beings. they're conditioned to be fed by human beings so that sort of natural defense mode to pull back from the presence of human beings isn't there. so it seems from what i have heard from this place, if you follow the rules and you keep your doors locked and your windows up your risk of harm is pretty low. >> there have been three attacks at this park in just the past few months. i want to play again the video for you of the lion opening the car door. this is at another park, but just to show you how ingenious these animals can be, right? she comes over. and opens the door. that door was not locked. just to show people they're incredibly fast incredibly smart. and you point out, they're used to humans. do they now view these cars as essentially a meal ticket in a park like this where they're raised with humans?
4:50 pm
>> well i think these lions view human beings as a meal ticket. their total survival is dependent upon people. every day, they see people that deliver them fresh meat to eat, all their husbandry, all their sanitary stuff is maintained by human beings. they don't have any fear of human beings so for them something like a car is just a toy, but what it shows you, erin is how quickly that can >> so when we look at the attacks before in march someone attacks through a window at this park and he blamed himself, the window was down and posted gruesome pictures of the wounds on his legs what attracts lions to the open car windows? >> well you have to imagine, if the window was closed there is no stimulation, there is no sound. the lion would see itself in the reflection. there are no smells. but when the window comes down
