escape from jail has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. authorities in indiana close inside on the fugitives. they were on the run for more than a week. also tonight the white house criticizing vladimir putin's remarks as, quote, patently false when he claimed that -- at moscow victory day celebration that nato and the west are to blame for the war in ukraine because he falsely claims they were threatening russia. and the senate passing a pill that ex spands security for supreme court justices after the draft opinion that would overturn roe v. wade. but i want to turn now to cnn's sam kiley for what it happening in ukraine as putin celebrates victory day in moscow. >> reporter: one man's parade for the many. the many on parade for one man. and on the eve of victory day, authorities here say 60 people died in a russian airstrike.

the victory over german nazism once united the people of russia and ukraine. not anymore. this is what putin's modern campaign to de-nazify ukraine looked like on that day in the east of the country. from mariupol to mykolaiv. russians war in the name of saving russian speaking people in ukraine has focused most violence in the east where most people speak russian. on victory day ukrainian towns under russian control held muted memorials to a past war while the present ranls on. this man survived the airstrike. and his response to putin's parade? a sarcastic, let them celebrate. we would celebrate, too. imagine what they bombed. an ordinary village with only

pensioners and children. they tied in a russian thrust into their village during an operation to throw military bridge across the donetsk river shown in this satellite image. the move is intend to cut this supply route to russian-speaking ukrainian towns now under bombardment. ukrainian forces are counterattacking but russian artillery is already hitting the road and the oil refinery next to it. with the killing of 60 people, civilians cower in a school, it's clear that the russians are continuing with their campaign to obliterate civilian life, but this is also a sign that they are pursuing traditional tactics, trying to break the infrastructure that could support the ukrainian war effort. putin's allegations of nazism in ukraine turned back on the russian leader by survivors of the real war against hitler's ideology. she says, i think victory will be ours, only hours. if i were younger, i would have

ripped this thug's throat out with my teeth. the president is insisting ukraine's victory is certain. the one who is repeating the horrific crimes of hitler's regimes today following nazi f philosophy copying everything he did, he is documented. but it will be a long, hard fight to turn the lessons of history into a modern day victory in europe. sam kiley, cnn. >> thank you very much. i want to turn to isa. hello to you. we are hearing russia is pounding the city of odesa tonight. what's the latest on the attacks? >> good morning to you, don. and this comes importantly i think context is important here on the very same day that president putin remember laid flowers, laid roses, in fact, to honor the heroic cities from second world war including

odesa. by the evening his forces are pounding it with missile strikes. now, witnesses tell us they saw several large explosions in the center of the city at around 10:00 p.m. local time on monday. and to give you a sense of how powerful they were, they could be heard 25 miles away. the missile strike shook several buildings and resulted in a missile we saw large shopping center on fire. we can see the debris really of what's left of that shopping center. and earlier in the day, don, odesa city council reported three cruise missiles were fired on the city, destroying five buildings, one apparently a beloved hotel by the russian elites, as well as injuring two people. and for context here, but it's important, because we have been talking about it for weeks new, these strikes have become more frequent in particular in the last two days with russia using submarine surface ships and aircraft to launch missiles at this critical port city, don. >> ukrainians are saying russian

bomb obliterated a school where ukrainians were sheltering. what do you know about that? >> yeah. and sam kiley hinted at that. this is truly heartbreaking and just the latest brutality at the hnds of russian forces. that 90 people were sheltering in the basement of this school, almost the entire village, by the way, was inside when russian forces dropped a bomb on the school. officials tell us that 60 people are most likely dead and 30, according to the governor, have been rescued from the rubble. but this area is in lulujansk. well, not far away from the village and in this backdrop of brutality that we have seen yet another example of defiance, courage under fire. this is the face of bravery.

meet 15-year-old anastasia. a courageous and defiant teenager, now recovering from her injuries in lviv. what about your legs, the nurse asks her. they came under fire, she replies. as her hometown was pummeled by russian artillery, she wanted to help two wounded men get to a hospital. the help was urgently needed so as not to lose a lot of blood sheerks says, so she picked up the car keys. and i had to get behind the wheel, she says. they made their way across the bridge desperate to get to a hospital. we have a bridge and we had a checkerboard pattern. there was no way to get through. i somehow made it and further along there was the corpse of a woman, she says. worse was to come. a burst of machine gun fire raked the car. i was driving the car and then the russians fired on us, she

says. when they started shooting, the car stopped and then i started the car again and drove on. even though she was injured and bleeding, time was running out. the car stalled because the battery was shot through by a bullet. by then ukrainian soldiers were on hand to rescue anastasia and her passengers. now they are all recovering thanks to the courage of a very young driver. and, don, this incredibly brave girl has gone through so much. she lost her mother not so long ago. it was her mother who taught her how to drive. incredibly courageous putting her life on the line to save others. >> thank you very much. i appreciate that. let's bring in cnn military analyst current cedric leighton. explosions hitting the key port city of odesa tonight.

witnesses say a large shopping center was struck. is this a sign of further escalation? >> it should could be, don. good evening. when you look at odesa right here, they are saying that about seven surface vessels arrayed in the black sea, plus the submarines. that coupled with possibly airborne-launched missiles could provide for some pretty tough days ahead for odesa if the ukrainians are not careful. so this is something that could happen and it would be very logical because this is the area that the russians control right now and they just need a little bit to move further westward so that they can threaten odesa and it would be normal for them to do that given their previous tactics. >> colonel, ukrainian officials say that the russians built platoon bridges to cross the donetsk river but new satellite

images show they are being destroyed. what does that mean about what is happening on the battlefield? >> this is the pontoon bridge and it is clearly an obvious target. if i were looking at this from a targeteers perspective in my air force days. what this is, is a very clear possibility to cut this. and when you do that, that limits the possibility for the russians to cross from either direction. what that means then from the donbas area right here is that the russians are coming in this way towards these areas here. a lot of what has happened was along the line right in through this area in the luhansk area. the russians have moved in there. this is the area where they are advancing in. the bridges that they are building, the pontoon bridge

they built was just about in this area. once you cut that, that limits their mobility and ability to move forward. but this area is something they have to watch out from a ukrainian standpoint and it means that these things are very fluid when it comes to the state of the battlefield. >> let's talk about the victory day parade in moscow now. what were you thinking as you saw russia's military equipment on display today? >> not as much as they had last year. last year they had about 190 different pieces of equipment like the ones you see here. this, you know, right -- this year they have about 130 different pieces of equipment. of course, the usual variety, everything from rocket fired propelled grenades to armored personnel carriers, intercontinental ballistic missiles. these are fairly normal. there was nothing really new in this parade. so the russians are scaling back. either that or they don't have anything new to show or show off to the rest of the world. >> were you surprised they had

this many members of the military out considering the fighting that is happening in ukraine? >> actually, they had a lower number of personnel. 11,000 showed up for that parade. they had a lower number of personnel this krer than previous years. so not really as surprised but they tend to favor parades and like the idea of this pomp and circumstance. so this is something i think that is quite normal for them. they will sacrifice to put on a good parade. >> the kremlin spokesperson is saying that moscow's air show was canceled today due to weather. you don't buy that. why not? and what can you tell us about the so-called doomsday plane that we are going to see? >> right. so this aircraft is, you know, right here. this is the nose of this. i'll show a video of it right here. this is a very large aircraft and you can see this was not from today, but the russians basically said that there was a low ceiling, low clouds in the area. that could be an issue from an

air safety standpoint but it didn't look like it should have been an issue for them. but this aircraft is very important from the russian standpoint because what it is is an airborne command post. this is where the president of russia would go if he were going to run a command and control mechanism for russia in the event of a nuclear war. when you look at this, you can see that there are no windows in h this aircraft. it is all sealed up. and the reason for that is they want to protect from electromagnetic pulse and any radiation effects that a nuclear blast would impact on something like this. it can actually communicate using various frequencies to the various entities in russia that it needs to control in the event of a war. >> would that work? >> it can work, yes, absolutely. we have a similar aircraft. the e-4-b now. and it is basically the same

type of principle. ours is newer and it has different frequency ranges that it works under. but, yes, it can work and you can use it as an alternate means of communication. >> that looks enormous, by the way, that plane. >> it is. >> kurm, we have been hearing about russia's failure to effectively use air power in this war. what kind of impact is that having on this fight? >> so this is something that's very really telling as to their performance in this war. this su 27 with ukrainian markings gives you an idea of what the ukrainians have. they still have some of these airplanes that are still flying. the ukrainians are able to maintain a degree of control over their air pace that is unusual for a situation like this. the russians using state-of-the-art newer aircraft, su-34, this is one example of what they have, mod everybody aircraft. they don't dare fly them into areas controlled by the

ukrainians. the russian failure to achieve air superiority or air supremacy, which means you have total control of the airspace has hindered them. it is surprise interesting an airman's prerps they didn't seek do this. what they is wnothing like the shock and awe campaign during the second gulf warge you know that because you had a big role in the shock and awe phase in the gulf war. >> yeah, i did. >> thank you. see you tomorrow. >> you bet. the manhunt is over. the alabama corrections officer who fled with an inmate a week ago has died reportedly of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. the inmate is in custody. but there are that a l lot of ununanswered questions and the sheriff is here to answewer the next. it's lawn seasason. and i need a l lawn...quick. the fast way to bring it up to speed... scotts turf builder rapid grass. ♪

so this is breaking tonight. ex-alabama corrections officer vicky white died reportedly of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. the inmate she fled with, casey white, no relation, in custody. they were caught after a tip called in late last night led the u.s. marshals to them. a chase ensued and u.s. marshals rammed their car. so joining me now is cnn national correspondent nadia romero. you have been following this story. what do you know about the final hours of this manhunt leading to vicky white's death? >> reporter: yeah, don, we know that they were in evansville, indiana. to give you an idea, we are in lauderdale county in florence,

alabama. two hours north is williamson, tennessee. that's where they found the first getaway car. it was a ford edge and it was orange and it was partly spray painted. that was abandoned in the road there about two hours north of tennessee is evansville, indiana. and that's where they found vicky white and casey white staying in a hotel. how, it was on sunday we had the news that came into the alabama authorities that they spotted this truck, an f-150 and casey white at a car wash. and then we're told the u.s. marshals this zeroed in on a hotel there in evansville. they were planning to have a s.w.a.t. team go in. instead, casey and vicky white came out of that hotel. a police pursuit ensued for about 10 to 15 minutes. they wouldn't stop, and so the u.s. marshals used one of those policeman ufrs where they pin the car. their gray cadillac flipped on the side into a ditch. the u.s. marshals tell us that casey white came out with his

hands up telling them, y'all help may wife. she shot herself in the head. i didn't do it. of course, that's the word coming from a convicted felon who was supposed to be in prison for 75 years. u.s. marshals tell us that they found vicky white with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. as you mentioned, don, she died from those injuries earlier tonight. >> so casey white is supposed to stand trial this summer. how is her family reacting tonight? >> reporter: don, i have been talking with one of her sons, austin williams, since they escaped last friday, and every day he was texting me and telling me how anxious he was, how he heard all of these rumors s on social media, then confirmed reports from the lauderdale county sheriff's office and the u.s. marshals. and they were fwglued to their phones and tvs hoping that casey

white and vicky white would be captured. i texted him today and i said, did you hear? he said it's a miracle. that's what he called it. he hoped for this moment to have casey white captured. he says that it's amazing. now, he did not want this to happen to vicky white and he told me that that was something that he was not hoping for. he wanted both casey and vicky to be captured, returned safely. he didn't want anyone else to be hurt. he wants casey to stand trial for his mother's murder. now, casey white said that he killed connie ridgeway back in 2015. prosecutors say he admitted to do it. he then pleaded not guilty in court, but he is supposed to have his trial this summer and we spoke to the lauderdale county district attorney and he says i'm still planning on that trial. the family deserves justice. whether he did it or not, they deserve to have this trial and casey white deserves his day in court as well. don. >> thank you so much. appreciate that. our breaking news tonight, the end of the manhunt for

ex-corrections officer and an escaped convict. they were captured in a car chase that ended with a crash and the officer's death reportedly from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. witnesses to the crash say if it happened ten minutes earlier, a lot of people at a nearby business could have been in danger. what we have up on the screen right now is more video from the scene of the arrest. you can see just how many officers were involved in this chase. look at that. a lot of officers there. a lot of chaos on the roads. now lauderdale county sheriff rick singleton. sheriff, you said this moment would come when you would be talking to us about the capture. unfortunately, she died, vicky white, due to her injuries. this is your former colleague who helped an inmate escape -- an inmate to escape a man and now she became a fugitive herself. what were you thinking tonight? >> you know, i'm very

disappointed that it ended this way with vickie taking her life. that's not something we would have wished on her. we did want her to come back here and face the charges, you know. knowing the vicky, i think as m concern to her about coming bang and facing charges, i think what bothered her more was facing her family and friends. you know, she betrayed her co-workers. she betrayed the sheriff's office. and no knowing her like i did, i don't think she could bear the thought of coming back and facing this. >> i am sure you would have liked to have asked her why she did it, right? you what want some information from her? >> absolutely. that's the one question i still don't understand and i guess i will now, is what in the world was she thinking? you

you she has been in corrections 17 years. she seen this scenario play out time after time where people escape and she knew they always got caught. i think she knew the day was going to come they were going to get caught. so i just don't understand it and i don't know that i ever will- >> do you think -- considering the extent of her wounds, was anybody able to eke speak with before her death or was that possible? >> not that i am aware of. i think i understood your question. was anyone able to speak to her before her death? >> yes, sir. >> i am not sure i understood your last -- >> was anyone able to speak to her before her death and maybe she answered some questions but i am not sure considering the extent of her injuries if that was possible. >> no. not that i am aware of. i think she was transported to the hospital. when i got word that they had been captured and she was injured and they had been shot,

you know, i think that she pretty much was on life support from that moment on. >> can you confirm now, do you still have to do forensics to figure out whether it was definitely a self-inflicted gunshot wound that killed her? >> oh, that will be up there -- i understand they will be doing an autopsy tomorrow up in indiana. i'm sure we'll get that final answer from that. all the information i've received is that it was self-inflibted. but i'm sure forensics will term that. >> when officers did get to casey, casey white, when he came out vehicle, he reportedly told law enforcement to, quote, help my wife, and said that she shot herself in the head. is it clear to you why he would call her his wife? >> not really. i don't understand that. maybe they assumed that that was their relationship now, husband and wife. it could have been a ploy on his

part just to, you know, distract, you know, the officers thinking maybe they wasn't sure who they were. i don't know. obviously, i don't know what was going through his head. >> u.s. marshal matt keely also said that they saw vicky wearing a wig when exiting the hotel they were staying in. do you think that you will get a clear answer to as to why she did what she did? or do you think that considering what happened that we will never get -- >> i feel like that answer is going to go to her grave with her. you know, as i said, we've known vicky a long time and this is just -- this whole fiasco is just totally so out of character for her. her friends, her family, i mean, you know, we are all just devastated by the fact she would do something like this to start with. of course, we're devastated that she has taken her life.

>> they bought three cars, sheriff. they had somewhere between 60 and $95,000 in cash on them. they ended up in indiana. are you surprised by what they were able do and the nearly 11 days that they were on the run? >> not really. you know, most jail escapes, especially from county jails, are not well planned out. they are more, you know, get out of here and then they get out and they, you know, say what do you do now? this was a different kind of escape. it was very well calculated and, you know, planned. most inmates when they get out of jail they have absolutely no resources. they are on the run. they don't have a car waiting for them. they don't have thousands of dollars in cash in their pocket. they don't have fresh clothes to change into. so that really presented some challenges for the investigation and the search because they had so many resource at their

disposal. >> listen, you said she is going to take it to her grave. i was thinking you never really know someone, right? in your press conference today you said something diffsimilar. what have you learned from this manhunt and do you need to make changes with how your officers interact with inmates? >> working at a detection facility is a challenging job. you have to in that facility to understand it. that was one reason we gave the news crews tours because just a different kind of job that not just anybody can do. you know, we have the policies in place. and you think you know someone. the last person in the world any of us thought would pull a stunt like this was vicky white. she was a by the book employee. and for they her to do somethine this, we can't comprehend it. >> as they say, you never know.

thank you, sheriff. thanks for joining us every night. you thought we would be discussing their capture and here we are. sadly, though, vicky white had to die. >> thank you. we appreciate y'alls help in this, getting the world out and getting them behind bars. >> absolutely. be well. the leaked scotus draft that would overturn roe v. wade sparking protests outside the homes of supreme court justices. the white house is respoponding. that's next.

the draft supreme court decision that would overturn roe v. wade spreading outrage across the country. this weekend protesters marched to the homes of justice brett kavanaugh and chief justice roberts and protesters tonight outside the home of justice sa samuel alito. the white house warning that protests should never include, quote, violence, threats or vandalism. so swroing mejoining me to discs analyst and staff writer for "the new yorker," susan, thank you for discussing this with me this evening. so the white house publicly is drawing a line in the sand, line on protests, i should say, around the draft court decision. is this smart to distance themselves or is this playing into the hands of republicans who want this to be about the leak, the protests, anything but the actual decision?

>> well, look, republicans are going to say what they are going to say regardless. i saw ted cruz tonight saying that these protests were worse than the january 6th insurrection at the capital. so that gives you a sense of what the republicans are going to say regardless of what the white house says about it. i mean, look, it's an indication of the hyper charged nature of our politics coming to the supreme court an institution that has been much more insulated and isolated from really the toxic public and political culture of washington in recent years that the court, they are not even televised, their deliberations, they have maintained a remarkable lack of transparency up until now. that's part of why this leak was so shocking in the first place. and i think one of the things we're seeing is the view of the court being transformed before our eyes into a much more

explicitly political institution, including with this kind of the protests even at the prospect of a draft opinion being leaked. >> the senate tonight passing a bipartisan plan to get more security to the justices and their families after the explosive leaked draft. is this another unprecedented development in a series of them? >> yeah, absolutely. i think we are literally watching before our eyes sort of the transformation of how the public views the supreme court and the role it's going to play in our public life going forward. it's been resisted by chief justice roberts and other members of the courts. it has this feel almost all of our public institutions have been politicized in recent years, have seen an enormous drop in trust and independent viewpoints surrounding it. i think that's what we are seeing with the court. i was also thinking tonight back to, you know, decades and decades of protests, including a very aggressive sort over every

facet of the abortion debate since the 1970s roe decision. think of the images that we grew up with of anti-abortion protesters outside of abortion clinics, blocking the way, making it almost impossible for women to go and out of those clinics. protests didn't just begin with this supreme court draft opinion but it has been a turbocharged aspect of this debate for decades, for our entire lifetime. >> sadly, bombing of some clinics. >> that's exactly right. there has been violent protests, extreme protests as a hallmark of the aept anti-abortion movems well ynow you hpassionate feelis on those who are afraid a right that existed for decades is going to be taken away. >> it's important for the white house to point out violence is never acceptable but also what you have been pointing out, the

violence that's happened, you know, around clinics and so forth. so i want to change gears and talk about some other protests, susan. the former defense secretary mark esper has been on a book tour. he is claiming trump asked if they could shoot protesters outside the white house in the summer of 2020 asking, quote, can you just shoot them in the legs or something? how wild is it that the man who is supposed to uphold our constitutional rights apparently asked about shooting protesters and no one in the administration, not esper, not general millie, the attorney general barr thought at the time that they should go public with that? >> yeah, i think that's the incredible challenge of dealing with all of these former senior trump fiofficials and having if finished a draft of a book about trump that is going to come out in september, we are talking to sources constantly many who have

not been public. their accounts are credible on the one hand hand. mark esper resisted donald trump in a number of ways that never became public at the time. again if people were publicly protesting trump, he would have gotten rid of them even sooner. and a whole different category of filks would have come in. so it's not a simple question, but the sheer number of outrageous illegal unconstitutional things that donald trump said through the course of his presidency i don't think we are anywhere near to scratching the surface, frankly, don, of the crazy insdeas like this that trump articulated. remember he wanted to fill moats, you know, at the border with, you know, alligators and he -- or he ordered the military to shoot at immigrants coming over the border. i mean, you know, so it's entirely consistent with what we already know about trump. >> oh, boy.

voters in pennsylvania go to the polls next week and that state's primary elections. one of the most hotly contested races for governor. one of the leading candidates is still pushing the big lie of

election fraud in the 2020 race. more from cnn. >> reporter: just days left before the gubernatorial primary in the battleground of pennsylvania. we arrive at republican state senator doug mast reano's campaign rally. open to the public, the campaign said cnn could come. [ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: to this event at an indoor hotel courtyard next to the pool. but at check-in a volunteer says journalists are not welcome. do you know why media isn't being allowed in? >> no, i don't. >> reporter: we're here because he is one of the leading contenders for the republican nomination for governor. he has avoided nearly all independent press. the voters rely on reporters to understand their candidates. after they said media wasn't

allowed at the political rally, we rented a room from the hotel who gave us permission to record the event from here. with the cnn producer registered as a guest in the crowd and us in a balcony, he took the stage, railing against abortion rights, covid restrictions and what he claims is marxist ideology in public schools. >> well, any god-fearing, flag-waving american patriots in the house? >> reporter: he shot to prominence in 2020 baselessly raising doubts about pennsylvania's presidential election results. donald trump lost here by more than 80,000 votes. but he has ignored the truth. instead, banging the bogus drum beat of election lies as a state senator. >> we are here to find out what happened in the election. >> reporter: as a gubernatorial candidate, his rally opened with a prayer mentioning fraud without offering any evidence.

>> we ask god, as the ballots go forth, that you remove every fraudulent ballot, lord god. >> reporter: the campaign fuses politics with christianity, framing him as a commonwealth savior. he is one of nine vying for the republican nomination. a hotly contested race that could impact the next presidential election. the next governor has the power to appoint the top elections official in the commonwealth. >> i am a republican candidate for governor. >> reporter: the field includes former u.s. attorney bill mcswain, two state senate president jake core mc. mastriano democrats believe and hope they will face in november. >> mastriano wins, it's a win for what donald trump stands for. >> reporter: this ad paid for by shapiro for pennsylvania. >> our next governor in pennsylvania, john shapiro. >> reporter: he is the likely
