ortiz told police he doesn't known the man who was caught or why he was shot. tonight there's an outpouring of well wishes by fans including a get well tweet from former president barack obama. thanks for watching. erin burnett out front starts right now. out front next, breaking news. a helicopter crashes into a midtown manhattan skyscraper. why did the pilot venture into restricted airspace, and why did he take an unusual path to get there? plus the man who took down richard nixon telling congress about the striking parallels he sees between nixon and trump hitting back tonight. and david ortiz medevaced after he was shot in the back in dominikin republic. out front tonight, a terrifying crash, a helicopter landing, and

then slamming into a 54 story office building. this video taken earlier today appears to be the helicopter that crashed. as you can see you can barely see it moving there through the dense and low fog. this is new york city mayor bill de blasio says that's what that footage is of. >> we have what appears to be a helicopter that crashed into the roof. the helicopter is on fire. crews are getting access now. we're getting lines in place. search is under way. >> the crash happening in restricted airspace. restricted because it is just blocks from trump tower. at this hour we still do not know why the helicopter was in restricted airspace in terrible weather. but here's what we do know. it took off from the east side

of lower manhattan and then flew south. the pilot flew to the bottom and then turned north, heading up the west side of the island. and then something bizarre. he veered towards midtown manhattan, towards the sky skriepers, the restricted airspace thanks to trump tower. and then he crash landed onto the roof of a building on 51st street 11 minutes after take off, breaking out in fire just 11 blocks from times square and trump tower. >> it felt like a hard shove, like someone is standing next to you and they shove you really, really hard. we could smell smoke. it was coming down the %-pg is somewhat calm. when you're on the staircase and you get in the lobby and you have people screaming at you, get outside, get outside. now it's scary. you don't know what's going on. just go. just go.

>> meantime, coming towards the flames 145 firefighters and ems units. for so many new yorkers today the fears of 9/11 flooded back immediately. >> if you're a new yorker you have a level of ptsd, right, from 9/11. and i remember that morning all too well. so as soon as you hear an aircraft hit a building i think my mind goes where every new yorker's mind goes. >> out front, and there are so many unanswered questions. about the pilot, who he was and what he was doing there. >> yeah, we're learning a bit more about the pilot. he was the only person onboard according to officials of this helicopter. we got a statement from the company that he was most recently flying for.

american continental properties. they say they mourn the loss of their employee. he he'd working on that company for five years. we're learning a bit more. according to our affiliate, he was like a 20-year experienced pilot. and they also talked about an incident he had back in october 2014 where he actually encountered a bird strike while he was doing a tour with six other passengers onboard. he was able to land that helicopter safely and no one was hurt. so that gives an idea how experienced he was. so that really actually starts a lot more question. i think it's important to point out what investigators faced the moment they got to the top of the building behind me here 50 stories high. we're told by investigators the debris field was on all fire. fuel was being leaked. they had to put out all those fires. so you can imagine the wreckage that was there, that they had to begin their investigation with.

we know they were looking for the tale number to report back kplaekt w exactly who owned this helicopter. we know from a source from the take he took off, 11 minutes later he landed here. we also know from a source he signaled that he was waiting for better weather in order to take off, but for some reason decided to go anyway even though it's been really poor weather conditions throughout the entire evening here in new york city. but still, again, a lot of questions. certainly now we know who he is, investigators know who he is, they're going to learn a lot more answers. and ntsb, faa, nypd, all trying to get those questions answered. >> erin, thank you very much. out front now, a man who witnessed the crash, he joins me now on the phone. and lance, i appreciate your time tonight. i want to show some of our viewers the video you took as

you saw all this happen. tell us what happened? >> well, it happened pretty fast. i urd a sound of what i thought was a helicopter, much louder and lower than normal. and then it stopped pretty quickly. so i got up and i looked out of my window and upwards and i saw fire on the roof of a building about a block south of us, which was 767 7th avenue. >> as you see that and we're looking at the smoke billowing out amidst all the clouds and fog that was the weather today, what did you think? you heard that low flying aircraft, helicopter, and then you heard that bang and the smoke. what did you think at that moment? >> i sort of thought it was one of two things. either there was a fire on the roof and there was, you know, a police or fire helicopter over the building trying to get a look at it, or that the helicopter or whatever the aircraft was had caused the fire. and when i looked up i saw --

the first thing i saw was flame, so eventually i sort of came to the conclusion it was probably the helicopter or small plane hitting the roof as opposed to a fire that someone was looking at. >> you know, obviously when you hear about a plane in a building obviously as a new yorker we heard governor cuomo talking about how so many new yorkers felt today, you know, because of 9/11. so when they hear, you know, a plane, an aircraft in a building all of a sudden they have these flashbacks out of immediate fear. did any of that go through your mind, lance, when you first heard that helicopter and saw what was happening? >> of course. and that's the reason i stood up quickly and went to look. you know, i was here on 9/11 and was actually in central park and saw the first plane come over heading south and didn't know at the time what that was. but i think you are conditioned a bit to look for -- listen for

those sort of out of place noises. so that's definitely why i looked up. and, you know, your first thoughts are for the safety of the people in the building or on the ground. so that was what i was sort of looking to see. >> obviously back to that day and the terror and horror of wondering what was happening to people. lance, i appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> of course, thank you. >> and i want to go now to miles o'brien, aviation analyst. so, miles, from what we know here, 34th street heliport on one side of manhattan, going down as you should. because you're not allowed to go over the middle in part because of the trump tower restricted zone and veering in totally restricted airspace and then crash landing. what do you make of it? >> well, if you go by that video which evidently is the video -- >> we'll put that up.

there it is, okay. >> so the first few seconds are crucial, erin, because you see the helicopter coming out of the clouds almost straight down towards the ground. what that would tell you is the pilot might have accidently flown into instrument meet logical conditions inside the clouds, became disoriented, pointed the nose downward to try to break out, and what appears to happen then is he levels off, gains control of the craft. you know, potentially near miss crisis averted. but then what doesn't make sense is you see it slowly rise back into the clouds and then over manhattan. so you have to ask yourself was there a control issue with the aircraft, that would be a key focus for investigators. and the other possibility here is was this pilot incapacitated in some way? was he having a coronary, for example, that made it difficult for him to gain control? so these are the things. uric looing at the pilot, machine and the environment.

we know the environment was not good. very much on the edge. >> you can barely see it, but as you point out, you do see it come down and kind of steady. the question on restricted airspace, which this was. you're not allowed to land helicopters on the roof of buildings in new york city as the mayor said. and that's for a lot of reasons including the history of a deadly crash. you've got trump tower nearby. yet, it does not appear -- and i know this happened very quickly but it doesn't appear authorities knew there was a restricted helicopter in airspace. is that concerning? >> they were probably trying to figure out who it was, trying to raise that person on the radio. there just wasn't enough time. and yes, that could cause some concern. the bottom line is vfr, visual flight rules corridor over the hudson river does not require pilots to check in. in order for air-traffic control to manage that piece of airspace

it would take a huge amount of effort, time, additional controllers. as it stands for now it's a self-policing self-reporting environment. and any time you get out of that particular narrow corridor you're supposed to check in with la guardia tower and that didn't happen. >> miles, thank you very much as we wait for answers here on this. thank you. and next a man who took down richard nixon with a powerful message for congressional testimony today. >> the mueller report is to president trump what the so-called watergate road map was to president richard nixon. plus long before he was running for president joe biden ran against a much older opponent for senate. >> i'm a 29-year-old odd ball. >> are the tables turned now? and president trump declaring victory with a new agreement with mexico. so what did he really get out of it?

if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, every day can begin with flakes. it's a reminder of your struggles with psoriasis. but what if your psoriasis symptoms didn't follow you around? that's why there's ilumya. with just 2 doses, a majority of people were clear or almost clear. and over time, even more people were clear or almost clear. all with dosing 4 times a year... after 2 initial doses. plus, ilumya was shown to have similar risks of infections compared to placebo. don't use if you are allergic to ilumya or any of its ingredients. before starting treatment, your doctor should check for tuberculosis and infections. after checking there is no need for routine lab monitoring unless your doctor advises it. ilumya may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or have symptoms, or if you plan to or have recently received a vaccine.

this could be your chance to leave your psoriasis symptoms behind. ask your doctor for ilumya today, for a clearer tomorrow. -[ scoffs ] if you say so. ♪ -i'm sorry? -what teach here isn't telling you is that snapshot rewards safe drivers with discounts on car insurance. -what? ♪ -or maybe he didn't know. ♪ [ chuckles ] i'm done with this class. -you're not even enrolled in this class. -i know. i'm supposed to be in ceramics. do you know -- -room 303. -oh. thank you. -yeah. -good luck, everybody. -oh. thank you. -yeah. plants capture co2. what if other kinds of plants captured it too? if these industrial plants had technology that captured carbon like trees we could help lower emissions. carbon capture is important technology - and experts agree. that's why we're working on ways to improve it.

what incensed trump, perhaps comments like this. >> i would say the trump administration is in fast competition with what happened in the nixon administration. >> and tonight trump saying one big difference between him and nixon on impeachment is this. >> i guess president nixon never got there. he left. i don't leave. there's a big difference. i don't leave. >> john dean's testimony today was full of fireworks and manu ro raju is out front. >> reporter: with their party divided over impeachment proceedings democrats today began the challenge of filing what's in the mueller report without the key witnesses who have first-hand knowledge. their first witness former nixon white house counsel john dean who played a key role bringing down president richard nixon 40 years ago. >> the last time i appeared before your committee was during

1974. clearly i'm not here today as a fact witness. in many ways the mueller report is to president trump what the so-called watergate road map stated a little differently, special counsel mueller has road map.this committee with a >> dean detailing what he sees as a clear parallels between nixon and trump. >> comparing nixon to just any future administration, would you say there was a future administration that committed more crimes than the nixon administration as far as obstruction? >> i would say the trump administration is in fast competition with what happened in the nixon administration. >> the former u.s. attorney testifying that trump would have been prosecuted if he were not protected by justice department guidelines, saying a sitting president cannot be indicted. >> the facts contained in that report would be sufficient to prove all of the elements necessary to charge multiple

counts of obstruction of justice. i would have confidence that the evidence would be sufficient to obtain a guilty verdict and to win on appeal. >> republicans assailed the witness' credibility. >> the fbi referred to you as the master manipulator of the cover-up. >> it incorrect. >> the u.s. attorney said you were at the center of the criminality. >> if i might, i did my best to tell the truth when i was asked. i did my best internally to break up the watergate cover-up when i realized we were on the wrong side of the law. >> wait a second, wait a second. mr. dean has made a cottage industry out of accusing presidents of acting like richard nixon. >> mr. gates, i appreciate you were not born at the time this all happened. >> the hearings come amid a tense democratic debate whether to formally begin impeachment

proceedings, which now is supported by the chairman of the committee jerry nadler. and a number of members by his panel. >> the president repeatedly tried to interfere in the ongoing criminal investigation. he tried to fire the special counsel and he wanted to lie about the special counsel and say he had conflicts of interest. the clock is ticking. >> what problem is there if you guys continue your current course of action? >> the problem is we may not be able to get the witnesses we want. >> reporter: now, the democrats and the justice department did reach an agreement today to review documents related to the mueller probe including fbi and know its full committee and staff can begin to review at least some of those documents. i'm told tonight the house judiciary republican and staff will begin looking through documents, but there's question whether they'll fully comply, and that's why the full house

will vote to authorize the house judiciary committee to go to court if necessary to force the administration to comply with their demands. erin? >> manu, thank you very much. and i want to go now to democratic congressman and presidential candidate eric swalwell. you saw him there in that piece. he sits on the house judiciary committee so he was there and asking questions as you just saw john dean. this hearing today clearly antagonized the president. calling john dean a loser. congressman matt gates called him a prop. what was your goal having him there? >> the goal was to lay out for the american people the perspective how the president's conduct relates in history to other pre-s conducts. today we heard conduct about a sitting u.s. president that sounded and rhymed a lot with what he saw during the nixon administration. so this is not the last hearing we'll have on the president's obstruction, but we're just laying the foundation.

>> so as he's laying out what he saw as parallels in making that case, and a couple of your colleagues were attacking mr. dean, questions his motives. do you think they succeeded at all in damaging his credibility or his point of view? >> john dean was the chief lawyer for the same committee that did this hearing today before he was the chief lawyer for president nixon. but the larger picture here is i would love to see republicans as allies in getting the relevant witnesses here. the attorney general who has failed to show up, hope hicks, don mcgahn, witnesses who had a front row to this president's obstruction. and we've seen nothing but empty chairs from these witnesses. so if republicans were interested in what these committee hearings look like, they would say bring these witnesses in. let's test them. >> you've been ready to impeach attorney general barr and secretary mnuchin but not president trump yet. today john dean told you and i

quote what we just heard, the trump administration is in fast competition with what happened in the nixon administration. did john dean say anything to you, congressman swalwell, to make you change your mind and move towards starting impeachment proceedings now for the president? >> erin, i still believe we should hold the front door obstructers immediately accountable, that's mnuchin and barr. impeach them now. both have broken the law. i just want to make sure that we do this with all of the evidence, and they have buried the evidence, those two individuals, a lot of evidence that we would need. so i think we're going to end up there, but first i want to show the american people we've exhausted every remedy before we got to that point. >> congressman swalwell, i appreciate your time. and next, joe biden says his age is a plus. >> with age comes wisdom and experience that can make things a lot better. >> but in his first senate race biden knocked his opponent as

old and out of touch. is he getting a taste of his own medicine? and trump claims victory with mexico. are his threats working or is all this a charade? (paul) great.

tonight the fight for 2020 joe biden and president trump both in iowa tomorrow at the same time. the two have traded barbs over everything from foreign policy to age. >> i am a young, vibrant man. i look at joe, i don't know about him. >> if he looks young and vibrant compared to me i should probably goo home. >> okay, this is not the first time, though, biden has used the issue of age against his opponent. jessica dean is out front. >> reporter: they say age is just a number. >> i am a 29-year-old odd ball. >> reporter: but for joe biden age defined the beginning of his political career. during his first senate campaign biden made his youthfulness

central to his message. print ads drew sharp contrast between the then 29-year-old and his opponent, a 63-year-old two-term incumbent. we've got a new crime problem in this country, we need some new thinking. one biden ad read, using the tag line, he understands what's happening today. >> joe biden. >> reporter: now nearly five decades later the 76-year-old biden's age is once again a factor. >> it's a legitimate question to ask about my age and the same question was asked to me was i old enough when i got elected age 29 before i was, you know, old enough to serve. it's a question whether or not, hopefully i can demonstrate with not only age comes wisdom and experience that can make things a lot better. but, look, that's for you all to decide, not for me to decide. >> reporter: this is hardly the first time age has been an issue in a presidential race.

>> i will not make age an issue of this campaign. i am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. >> reporter: but there's a certain amount of irony at play in this 2020 race as joe biden's opponents turn the tables. using a message similar to his in 1972 to make their own case for leadership. >> and we're not going to win by playing it safe or promising a return to normal. we are where we are because normal broke and we democrats can no more promise a return to the '90s than republicans can deliver on a promise to return to the '50s. >> does joe biden represent the future? >> i don't think so. i think it's time for a new generation of leadership. >> i don't want to be the america of 10 years back or 30 years back. >> reporter: a new cnn des moines register poll of likely incaucus goers show just 1%

being called age 70 an advantage against president trump. but that same poll showed 52% believed a candidate with years of experience in washington would have an advantage in facing president trump. that poll also shows biden as the top choice of likely participants in the iowa caucuses, coming in at 24%. but his advantage there in iowa is smaller than the one we've seen in recent national polling. the former vice president returns to iowa tomorrow for two days worth of events there. erin. >> thank you very much, jessica. and now the former chairman of the national committee and governor of pennsylvania and our political commentator and democratic strategist keith boykin. joe biden says, look it's a fair question. it's a strategy he's used. obviously he was on the other end of the spectrum when he was 29 years old. is he getting a taste of his own medicine now? >> well, first of all when democrats look at this, they're not looking at a republican

opponent who's 50 years old and trim and in good shape. joe biden may be technically a couple years older than donald trump, but he's in far, far better shape. far better to withstand rigor so that's number one. number two, democratic voters have spoken already. joe biden wouldn't have been at 40% in national polls if democrats were concerned about his age. what democrats remember is a few short years ago he was the most impactful vice president we've had in my lifetime. and erin, i'm old. so i don't think it's a factor at all. >> so keith, look biden is well aware questions about his age -- he didn't try to say oh, it's wrong of people to ask, i'm offended. he said, no, it's fair. i think it brings wisdom. here he is. >> hopefully i can demonstrate not only with age comes wisdom and experience that can make things a lot better. i think i am better prepared to take that office.

look, i think it's fair for people to ask about my age. and all i say is watch me. >> so can he turn experience to his favor? >> i think he can, but i don't know how he does it. i mean, i don't really know what joe biden is offering in this race that makes him stand out other than the fact that he was barack obama's vice president and that makes him electable to some people. and he's popular in that he has name recognition. but he's not really offering any brand new ideas for 2020. i don't feel he represents the demographic changes going on in the democratic party. the party is becoming increasingly more younger and people of color. and here we have a 70-year-old white man after we've had a black man and a woman as two previous nominees. i think if he wants to stand out he's got to have some ideas for 2020. >> so governor, let me ask about that poll, right, to that point.

52% of people says experience matters. and yet when you ask them and this is an iowa poll, so important for the iowa caucuses, 1% of democratic caucus goers say a candidate over 70 would be an vej over trump. does this worry you in a race where clearly democrats care about one thing more than anything else and that is beating president trump? >> not at all. first of all, let me say to your prior commentator, it's one of the things strong with the democratic party. we say we had a woman president, we had a black president, now we're going to have a white president. no, we're going to have the best person qualified and experienced to be president. we play identity politics far too much in the democratic party, and it gets us in big trouble. we're looking for the best person. joe biden was not only vice president to a popular democratic president, he was a great vice president. he gave incredible advice. he did great things like run the

stimulus program. so i think identity politics is the thing that's been hurting democrats. i think joe biden is viewed not only as the strongest contender to beat trump but he's viewed as the strongest person to be president. >> i disagree strongly, governor. the two who got the most history for president of the united states was barack obama. and the second person was a woman named hillary clinton. donald trump comes in third who's a white guy. i don't know what makes us think that a white guy is suddenly more electable than a person of color or a younger person or just the idea of having diversity in the party is a good thing. it's not a bad thing. we've had plenty of old white guys run for president. i'm not against old white guys. i've voted for them in the past. but it's also important to have something more than just being an old white guy. that's not enough to make you an electable candidate. >> white, but we've had an african-american president, white female president.

are you saying there's not going to be more white guys nominated for president on the democratic side? it's not who you are, what you are, how qualified you are, your experience. it's not the color of your skin, not your gender. and if we keep playing gender and identity politics we are in trouble. >> i understand what you're saying but i'm saying you've got to offer something more than just being the next old white guy in line. >> he was a great vice president. >> he ran for president twice before, once in 1988 and once in 2008. he lost both times. what makes you think he's going to beat donald trump? >> because that was before he was vice president and the polls clearly demonstrate -- >> so that means he's winning off his legacy from being vice president. >> and the polls clearly demonstrate he's the democrat most likely to beat donald trump. >> yes, they do right now but i think those polls could change in the future.

i'm not opposed to joe biden. i just don't like the idea he gets a pass on things other candidates are being held a different standard just because he has associations with barack obama. >> i will leave it there. thank you both very much. and next, the president takes a victory lap. >> we have an agreement on something that they will announce very soon. it's all done. >> but did mexico offer anything new in turn? and baseball legend david ortiz being medevaced back tonight. who shot him in the dominican republic and why. wow! that's ensure max protein, with high protein and 1 gram sugar. it's a sit-up, banana! bend at the waist! i'm tryin'! keep it up. you'll get there. whoa-hoa-hoa! 30 grams of protein, and one gram of sugar. ensure max protein.

new tonight, president trump claiming there's another deal with mexico that will be announced soon or he's going to bring back the threat of tariffs. >> we have an agreement on something that they will announce very soon. it's all done. and they have to get approval and they will get approval. if they don't get approval we'll have to think in terms of tariffs. >> but the president did not provide any specifics or details about what that agreement is. it it doesn't it's going to results in more tariffs. mexico denying any additional deal. but on top of this a former administration official familiar with the talks with mexico said the deal was agreed to months ago, as in trump's threat over the past week didn't help at all because it was already done. everything had been previously agreed to.

the mexicans just said they will do it faster. that is not some win potus just got last week. out front now juliette kayyem, and president of the national council brandon judd. obviously that former official saying, look, we'd done all this months ago and that person seems to be a part of that and saying what i see out of it is what we'd done months ago. this is not some win. what's your response? >> that's completely not true. in fact all you have to do is listen what secretary mactin said. that is prand spanking new. >> and the mexican guard sending troops down there. >> the expansion across the entire southwest border that is brand spanking new. yes, we did have the protocols in place in san diego and el paso, but those are the only two

places we had them. so this person, this unnamed source that is saying this, i don't put a whole lot of stock in unnamed sources because it's very easy to say anything you want depending on where you stand. >> juliette, what's your response? when secretary of state pompeo says when this agreed two months ago and it wasn't signed but agreed to and they're dead wrong, here's how he put it. >> reporting that says these countless hours were nothing, that were a waste of time, i was part of those conversations in december when the original migrant protocols were put in place. the scale, the effort, the commitment here is very different from what we were able to achieve back in december. >> do you believe him, juliette? >> look, words like scale and enforcement, you know, those are just words. and so we have to determine over time what the metrics are and what the enforcement mechanism is. so for example when the mexicans say they're going to send

5,000to 6,000 troops south to protect their border, that is question what are the troops actually going to be doing? so we don't know at this stage because everything is wrapped in a mystery that trump says is coming later. all we do know is that the mexicans at least of this weekend claim there is actually nothing that new on the table. they concede a lot of great talks points to the white house because donald trump was trapped. he had promised a tariff. everyone if not democrats, republicans too knew that could never be the case. and what this was was a dance to get trump out of his difficulties. this is an enforcement issue at this stage, and the numbers are going to prove whether the mexicans had in them and whether they had the capacity to change a dynamic that is so complicated that a single, you know, silver bullet is not going to solve. >> but that doesn't make any sense to say that the mexican government acquiesced to give

president trump a win. we're talking about two completely different parties. you're talking about a liberal problem in president orbidor's and you're talking about a conservative party. why would a liberal party give president trump a win? that doesn't make any sense. the fact of the matter is this deal that was was just struck there were many presidents in the past that would have liked to get this deal but couldn't get this deal. president trump through the threat of tariffs did get this deal, which is good for us in securing the border. why wouldn't we want to get the border secure? >> juliette? mr. judd and i are on the same page of that in terms of securing the border. the question here is did that terror threat amount to anything new? and of course the mexicans are claiming maybe there was a speed up process, but don't criticize me for doubting enforcement with this administration. whether it is the sending of our own troops to the wall or to the border that we now learn are painting walls, right, or any

other promises they make. >> they are literally painting the wall. >> not shame on me in terms of i have questions about the enforcement mechanism. everyone knew including the cbp the tariffs would not go into effect because they wouldt was successful gaegs. >> there is something on this that the tariffs would have been bad for us and bad fordi the president. i think we all know that. in a sense it's kind of mexico if mexico would have believed him. no way anyone thought he was going to 25%. but to this point about republicans, mike gallagher was against the tariff, former dea, and here's his reason for thinking mexico couldn't do very much. here he is. >> i think it would also strain cred you'llty to wake up and

think mexico would think wow we can do something about immigration when mexico doesn't have the resources right now to counter the gangs and car tells that run that state. >> here's your numbers, your national guard troops, here's your things on the guatemala border but they won't be able to do it. does he have a point? >> no. in 2004 on a small stretch of border in southeast arizona which was the epicenter for illegal immigration at that time, there was a lot of pressure put on the mexican government. they in fact did deploy troops and it was almost like a light switch. we went from 365 apprehensions to 80 per day. it was almost like a light switch. so we've seen when the mexican government does in fact get involved illegal immigration goes down. that's why this is absolutely a win for president trump. >> all right, thank you very much. i appreciate it. and next the moment baseball legend david ortiz was shot in the back in the dominican

republic. why was he targeted? will he be okay? and jeanne on the symbol of friendship between trump and macron now reportedly dead. what? beep goes off ] now that you have new dr. scholl's massaging gel advanced insoles with softer, bouncier gel waves, you'll move over 10% more than before. dr. scholl's. born to move.

"when he opened his eyes, the

first thing he asked for was to see his family," gonzalez said during a press conference monday at the clinic hospital where he's been treated. lee ortiz, david's father, also spoke at the presser and thanked the medical team. "on behalf of the ortiz family, david ortiz's work team, i want to thank the press, but especially this medical team." ortiz's father says he had no idea why someone would have shot his son. right now police say they have one person in custody for the shooting, who is captured and held down by a crowd of bystanders until police arrived. the crowd can be heard repeatedly saying in spanish, the suspect needed to talk and fess up. another suspect got away on foot. the baseball legend's assistant telling cnn it was not a robbery and that ortiz does not know the suspect. >> here comes big papi. >> reporter: in 2004, ortiz helped the red sox to their first world series championship since 1918, ending the so-called
