11:02 am
caused such chaos, plus an abrupt delay the blockbuster trial of dominion versus fox not underway today. so does that mean potential settlement is in the works or will we see a trial with more than a billion dollars at stake? we're following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news, central. let's begin this hour with those new details. we're learning about the man who appears to be behind kansas city shooting that left this 16 year old boy ralph jarl in the hospital, the shooter, apparently a white man in his eighties, has not been charged with a crime yarns family says the boy mistakenly rang that man's doorbell while attempting to pick up his siblings. this was last thursday, homeowner. allegedly shot the teen twice shooting has
11:03 am
sparked a large protest on sunday. the community demanding to know why the accused shooter was let go. less than two hours was taken into custody. escamilla bernardo, she's following all of these latest developments, including what we're learning about the shooter's so tell us where the alleged shooter i should say, tell us what we know. hey jim, so authorities just not naming the shooter and cnn also not naming the shooter, but we do know that he is a white man in his eighties. we also know that this all happened on april 13th , but he was taken and booked in jail on early morning hours, so he got booked at around midnight that night and was released at 1 24 am so he was only in jail for a couple of hours. the chief of police in kansas city had been talking king about this 24 hour holding period that according to state law, you have to or you're allowed to keep someone for 24 hours, but after those 24 hours expire, you either release the
11:04 am
person or you charge them. we know now that this man was only in jail for a couple of hours and he was not charged. this was a mistake. this teenager went to 115th street. he was supposed to go to 115 terrorists. he was a block away from where he was supposed to be picking up his brother. and that's where he was shot. of course, the family is now focused on his health, but thankful that he is alive. here's his aunt. my nephew is alive. yes healing. it is not the story that that individual intended for us to tell. yes telling a story that is different from the stories that you normally hear. now this family wants answers the attorneys representing the families do say here. that race is a factor that it is important to point out that a white man shot a black teenager who was unarmed. the chief of police
11:05 am
says that race is not something they believe was a factor in all of this, but she says she recognizes the racial component . so there's more to this story . there's a lot of questions here and protesters outside the home yesterday, just demanding and stirs the attorneys for the family say it's just unjustifiably, jim. yes, spoke to lawyer for the family last hours and also concerned about how short the alleged gunman was held. camilla burnell, thanks so much for covering the story. boris frustration is certainly mounting and pouring into the streets as the investigation continues, so we want to bring in kevin o'neill. he's the kansas city councilman who represents the area where the shooting happened. councilman o'neill thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us when you hear those details that this alleged gunman was an 80 year old white man, and that he was held for fewer than two hours. your response is what. well i think there is a definitely the chief said that
11:06 am
there is not a so far we haven't seen a racial uh, motivation here, but there is definitely a racial component here, and we have to be very sensitive to that. and we know that there is a lot of information that we don't have yet. but i attended a rally yesterday and we walked and there was probably 5 to 600 people there and one of the one of the kids, one of the one of the kids students that went to school with, uh, ralph told me that you know, he was just a brilliant kid. he was he was full of life. councilman, can you hear us? can you hear me? yeah, yeah, we're fine going, councilman, please. okay i and i was talking to some of the students and they were talking about how what a great kid he is and what a great musician and how he wanted to go to texas a and m. and i'm just grateful that this isn't a situation
11:07 am
where you know he was killed. he he's going to live. i understand he's doing better. and so we're praying for the family and everybody involved. yeah glad to hear that. ralph it appears will be okay. i'm curious councilman, do you feel that you're getting the answers that you need from police right now, have they given you any insight into exactly what transpired after ralph rang the doorbell? you know, i don't i have been asking and trying to get information. i understand that the they did let him off. i think they call it a , uh, pending investigation right now. um but there is no, i'm hoping there's videos involved in today's world. you'd think there would be um, but at this point, we don't have a lot of information and, um, hopefully we'll get that very soon. we're now in day four, and i'm a little disappointed that it's gone this long. so cnn
11:08 am
heard in the last few hours from benjamin crump, family attorney for the ya roles and i want you to listen to how he described the situation. listen to this. to have. black people rang the doorbell and then have a white citizen. shoot him in the head. first and then shoot him a second time. i mean, there is no way you can justify this. i mean , think about how ludicrous it says you have people who are delivering packages. uh will amazon and fedex and so are we gonna start tolerating if it's a black citizens that you can shoot them and then go home and sleep in your bed at night after the police question you, it is unacceptable. you're to you that
11:09 am
ralph charles you're saying he's absolutely right. go on. yeah yeah. i mean, i think you know, i grew up in the urban core. um i was never. i was never taught by my parents how to walk into a white person's house. i was never taught. you know when i'm driving, you know, i think they call it driving as black. um these are all things. now they have to teach their kids how to ring a doorbell. i'm mean, this is ridiculous that we're in a world where this kind of thing can happen. and i'm i'm just infuriated that, um, this happens in kansas city, and i'm just i'm overwhelmed at how hard it is for parents to raise children in in a city or and this is across the country. where people are getting shot for no reason at all. kansas city councilman kevin o'neill.
11:10 am
thank you so much for the time, sir. please keep us up to date with the latest that you're getting from police. thank you. of course, brianna. is more community in alabama is trying to put the pieces back together today after gunfire erupted at a sweet 16 party that left four people dead. dozens more injured , and this all happened on saturday night in dade ville, alabama. the two young faces that you see here there are two of the victims who were killed. their names are phil staviyski dowdell and kiki smith, both teenagers and seniors in high school with bright futures ahead of them. cnn's victor blackwell is on scene in alabama and victor officials have now released the names of all four people who were killed. what more can you tell us? brianna all four were in that phase of life that's supposed to be as carefree as we are from transitioning from childhood to adulthood. late teens early twenties, we now have the names
11:11 am
of the four who lost their lives who were killed on saturday night. you mentioned two of them. 1st 18 year old filled dowdell. he was transitioning into jacksonville state university. he was the brother of the birthday girl you're gonna hear from his football coach. in a moment he had a scholarship to play at that school. also 17 year old kiki smith. she was a senior at the dade ville high school ran track handed injuries, so she transitioned to be the team manager. people who knew is that she always had a smile. also 19 year old marseille, a collins and 23 year old corbin hosting the four who were killed in total. we know that at least 15 teenagers were transitioned to hospitals because of gunshot wounds of the 28 that we know have been injured. and as i promised, i want you to listen to fill dawdles football coach
11:12 am
talk about the kind of young man that he was the biggest thing is cheap. i don't understand why wanted to happen. we don't have any enemies feel just told me. about a month ago. because if anything ever happened to me even when i go to college, took care of my two sisters. i've never dreamed that he was talking about this. we heard from a local pastor says. this community of about 3000 people is not the type of community that you expect this but as we've seen many times this year , and for many years that this happens in all parts of our country, big cities, small towns , regardless of typical crime, and because this town is so small, it's very likely. that everybody here knows someone or is a degree or two away from someone impacted by the shooting . that happened here on saturday night. still so many questions.
11:13 am
it is crushing that community. we heard that from a local pastor, victor. we also know that we don't know who the suspect is. and police are very tight lipped about that. where are they on finding the person responsible. you know, law enforcement is not asking, answering really the basic pressing questions about a shooter if they know who they're looking for. how many shooters potentially. they're looking for the date ville city police. they say that they have strong leads , but they're not leading this investigation. the state is the alabama law enforcement agency. they're leading this and they're not answering any questions about potential suspects. they are saying, though, and i want to quote this no public safety concern at this time. however. the natural follow up is if you don't have the suspect in custody. how can you be so certain? what justifies that confidence that there is no public safety concern that follow up. they're choosing not to answer. now we need to make a
11:14 am
distinction between the questions that maybe they can answer like the ones i just asked. and those that maybe they don't have answers to yet like why? why would someone go to this sweet 16 party and start shooting the guns that were potentially used and was there specific target? so we're still waiting for some answers. but some of these questions not just for us, but for the people who live here in this city, they can answer now we're still hoping to get some of those answers about the person or persons responsible for the shooting saturday night. all right, victor. we know that you'll stay on it. thank you, boris over to you. still to come. new fallout from the major pentagon leak the wall street journal is reporting that a former navy service member helps spread classified documents on social media. we have details on that ahead, also a kremlin critics sentenced to 25 years in prison for condemning russia's war on ukraine. and with just minutes on the clock, spacex and nasa scrubbing the man rocket launch

11:19 am
it was supposed to start this morning, the judge said about the delay that things happen and that this is not unusual. the wall street journal is reporting that fox news is making a last minute push to settle this case out of court. dominion is seeking $1.6 billion in damages over the networks repeated false claims. the dominions voting machines rigged the 2020 election. let's turn now to cnn legal analyst elliot williams. he is a former federal prosecutor. elliot when you look at this here, what would fox most want to avoid in a trial that they're trying to keep this out of court those for people to testify on the stand? fox? really look, nobody has an incentive to go to trial. however brianna it's time consuming. it's expensive. it consumes resources. but most importantly, foxes reputation here. they don't want to put their executives potentially. paul ryan, former speaker of the house is on their board. on to be in public view, testifying about some of these text
11:20 am
messages that went on behind the scenes you you really couldn't miss. if you were a quart observer, something that happened, which is a wall of boxes, at least 40 of them that were on the dominion side, so filled with files and documents , right? that's the expectation here. what is that normal? what does that tell you? there's a lot of evidence. look, you know , the $1.6 billion figure is what we were talking about a little bit earlier and litigation. like we said, it's expensive and time consuming, and there's a lot of evidence at stake here again. all these parties probably want to do is settle this case. the problem is that they have a lot of reputation behind them. in order for fox to settle this case, what they have to do is admit. wrongdoing and say that they did something wrong and i think that's a tough call to do when it's either that or go to trial and spend lots of money and maybe lose because very clearly here. dominion suffered some damages right to its reputation . what then? incentive would dominion have to keep this out of court? because look that
11:21 am
they'd be guaranteed to get the money right? the one night fox would agree to agree to pay up the one nice thing about settlement is that you get something out of it. if you go to trial, you might lose, spend all that time all that blood and toil and then also have to pay the other side's attorneys fees. so it's a big risk. now. look, dominion has a decent case here. they had this electronic evidence they have some of the law on their side. but you never know what's going to happen when you put a case in front of a jury because they have to prove intent, right? the judge has been clear here. these statements were false. that's not at question. these statements were false. the question is what is the intent and that can be difficult to prove in court. it's literally called actual malice. you have to prove as a news organization, not just at the statement was untrue, but that the people who put it on new it was untrue and either records were so reckless in their decision to do so or made the decision to put false information on air that's actually harder than you think. now look, dominion does have some text messages and emails were executives at fox were questioning some of the allegations that were put the
11:22 am
information they're putting on camera. but it's still again. actual malice is a pretty high barden under the law to hit, it could be very damaging. is it? we're not so sure. at this point, elliott always great to have you. thank you so much, boris. the 21 year old air national guardsman charged with leaking highly sensitive pentagon documents has yet to formally enter a plea. but already some attention is now being turned to a second person allegedly tied to that leak. the wall street journal is reporting that a former noncommissioned naval officer who is behind a series of prominent pro russia social media accounts. was key in spreading the classified documents after they were first posted on discord. let's get some expert analysis. now with mark esper. he's a former defense secretary under president trump and the author of a sacred oath. memoirs of a secretary of defense during extraordinary times, mr secretary. it feels like we're in extraordinary times when it comes to classified documents showing up where they shouldn't be. i'm curious to get your
11:23 am
thoughts, your major concerns about this most recent discovery with jack to share of the 21 year old well, good afternoon, boris. it's good to be with you. look, it's a very damaging release with all these documents that that young airman put online and hurt us tactically with are your current in partners at her to strategically with the russians and our ability to gain insights about what they're doing in ukraine and around the world. and of course, it hurt us politically with our allies ranging from seoul, korea, too. israel to other places, so it's very damaging, and i don't think we know the full extent of it yet either. wanting to get into some of the content of what was uncovered specifically in the context of taiwan. but first secretary this was on a closed chat room group on a discord for roughly a month before it came to public attention. the pentagon actively recruits on discord, so it's not just a vulnerability for the military. do you think something needs to be done to shore up the way that
11:24 am
classified documents are shared internally and then something to expedite discovery once they are posted in something like a private chat group? sure absolutely. look, there's a number of things that need to be looked at is you know what is happening in these chat rooms? do we have the ability to monitor them? what happened in his place of work? was he being properly supervised? was the chain of command negligent? who else was involved? and we had this report today from the wall street journal about retired sailor who might have been involved somehow. and then you know again. why did he do it? what what is the reason behind us? because i'm fearful that there might be some type of foreign influence at some point, so i think we need to understand all these things as soon as possible so we could close the holes and plug up the gaps and do a better job going forward about protecting information. secretary as you might imagine, there are a lot of differing opinions on the war in ukraine within the united states among lawmakers, but having this naval
11:25 am
officer apparently pushing russian propaganda on the social media accounts. are you concerned that that might boost even lawmakers who are now defending someone like jack to share a who illegally leaked sensitive information? their markets. i read the story. it's disappointing. it's troubling. i don't understand why a veteran of the united states military would be pushing frankly, kremlin propaganda and talking about this and in these chatrooms and entertaining, according to the report, russian hosts russian moderators or other people to speak on this, so i think it's very troubling. this is going to be another part of the investigation that the fbi and others need to pursue and find out what is the extent of this and look, everybody has a first amendment free speech rights, so there's that, but i think this will be part of the investigation. secretary i mentioned that i wanted to ask you about taiwan because one of the most alarming things that was in these classified documents was a u. s assessment of their ability to defend
11:26 am
against the chinese air attack. essentially the documents reveal that the pentagon is not confident taiwan can defend against one and that would give china a significant advantage in a potential invasion. taiwan has rebutted those claims when you were at the pentagon, what you saw in those classified documents does that that match your assessment of taiwan's ability to defend itself. well let me just speak out from my assessment over the past year and i was in taiwan last summer, and i said look, the taiwanese cannot defeat the chinese, at least in a conventional fight. i mean the chinese air forces multiple times larger than a taiwanese, which is why i and others have been are arguing that the taiwan east need to adopt what's called a porcupine strategy where they harden up and they defend themselves and they don't try to go toe to toe with china, by the same means they need to buy the right equipment to fight that type of fight, which is like long range anti ship missiles. things like that and not necessarily fighter aircraft. so this is not a new
11:27 am
thing. it doesn't help that it came out in these leaked documents. but that is where we , the united states have been pushing the taiwanese to go for some time now, because if they do so it could be quite a deterrent and actually prevent a war in the taiwan strait. i guess if you have to find a silver lining in these classified documents being leaked, it's that maybe it'll bring more attention to the situation. more urgency to getting taiwan the help that it needs. former secretary of defense mark esper. thank you so much for the time. thanks, boris. thank you, of course. jim. we just have this breaking news into cnn just learning that ralph ja rule that's the teenager shot in the head by kansas city homeowner after ringing the wrong doorbell. he was released from the hospital on sunday night. great to hear frankly, students, camilo bernal is back with us now, just three nights in the hospital. i mean, his family must have just tremendous relief here. tell us what we know. and how was he able to get out so soon? absolutely jim. so we're learning that he is responsive
11:28 am
that he is making very good progress. this is thanks to reporting from the kansas city star, the local newspaper. they're citing an interview with the father and the father is saying that ralph spent three days at the hospital and is now at home recovering. it is his mother who is taking care of him . she is a nurse. we have reached out to the family for comment, but we do know that really what they wanted is to focus on his health, even though they are doing that they still have a lot of questions as to what happened here and why cnn also talking to a neighbor who says she was told to stay inside the house. she said she had to clean the blood but wanted to say that this was a brave young man who stayed awake and tried to tell her look, i am in the wrong house. so again. this is just a devastating story. but thankfully he is. okay jim, listen and lucky to the reporting is he was shot twice once. and then once again while he was on the ground coming up for now, i know you'll continue

traps, odors and little robot provides real time updates by whisker wiedemann in eastern ukraine. cnn. now at some of the headlines were watching this hour. the date ville alabama community is grieving and desperate for answers after a shooting at a sweet 16 birthday party left four people dead and 28 injured. those killed were between the ages of 17 to 23 all were from that tight knit
11:34 am
community. the shooter is still at large, but police say they now have strong leads on the suspect. and this just in to cnn, the 16 year old who was shot in the head by a kansas city homeowner, after ringing the wrong doorbell, is out of the hospital. kansas city star says that ralph doral is recovering at home and making good progress. a cnn review of property records indicate that the homeowner is a white man. in his eighties. he was taken into custody and released after a 24 hour hold period, spending fewer than two hours with officers pending further investigation. a critic of russian president vladimir putin and his war on ukraine has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for speaking out against the war in putin's regime america mirza was initially detained one year ago , hours after an interview with cnn in which he criticized russian president vladimir putin's regime of murderers as he put it. because of that criticism, he will now spend the next quarter of a century in a
11:35 am
russian prison. that's a decision being condemned by the international community as draconian and politically motivated. cnn's matthew chance is joining us on this story. so matthew cameras lawyers have made it clear they're going to appeal this sentence. what what will then happen? yes that they're going to appeal it, but frankly, given the situation in russia right now, with the crackdown that's been going on against freedom of speech and against the scent of the kind that vladimir carom as represented. it is incredibly unlikely that appeal is going to be successful, and we're looking at a situation where this leading opposition figure in the country is now facing the prospect of a very lengthy prison term. indeed, 25 years years. is the maximum sentence that was handed down to vladimir caramels a. he was charged with a range of offenses from resisting arrest to the worst charge the most serious charge
11:36 am
in the catalog, the book that was thrown at him, which is treason against the russian state, and afterwards he wasn't allowed to speak afterwards, but his lawyer came outside the court mirror iceman. and she said that he had said the following phrases myself. esteem rose after i heard that the prison sentence was 25 years, i realized cara mazza said that i did everything right and this is the highest score. you can get as a citizen as a patriot and as a politician. so vladimir kara murza characteristically defiant as he faces that incredibly long sentence in a russian penal colony, brianna but what a price to pay matthew chance. thank you for that report, jim. well there are growing concerns right now that sudan may dissolve into a civil war rival military generals fighting for control of that country or a short time ago, we learned that sudan's army chief dissolved his opponents. paramilitary group
11:37 am
