4:00 am
good evening. we've been talking to remarkable people who made it through the tornado and the heroes who helped them. we'll honor them. we begin with breaking news. cnn just confirmed authorities are now making a direct connection between the dead boston marathon suspect and a triple homicide that left him dead. a friend of who confessed to taking part in the killings before authorities say he was shot by an fbi agent who was interviewing him.
4:01 am
susan candiotti has been working her sources. what's the latest on this? >> hi, anderson. tamerlan tsarnaev is linked to those triple murders outside of boston in 2011. being confirmed by a federal law enforcement official. a link allegedly coming from a man being questioned today by the fbi and the massachusetts state police. a law enforcement official tells me he fingered tamerlan tsaranev in the triple murders, described as drug-related. we have mug shots from two unrelated road rage cases in orlando and boston. now, he was shot at his home with a confrontation with fbi after he confessed to triple murders. sources say it was self-defense. a law enforcement says the man attacked the agent with a knife. an fbi team is in orlando reviewing what happened. anderson, that's standard
4:02 am
operating procedure in any fbi >> so, do we have any idea what the motive was for these triple murders? it was drug related? >> my source tells me it involved a drug ripoff, tamerlan and his friend didn't want to risk getting caught. so, they killed him. >> is there any connection between the dead man in orlando and the boston bombing? >> if there is, anderson, the fbi hasn't found a link so far. agents first became interested in this man because my source tells me they came up with leads that tamerlan and his younger brother knew the chechen in orlando. now, the chechen, and he was granted political asylum here in 2008, used to live in boston like the tsaranevs did. our affiliate says the fbi looked at this apartment near boston before todashev lived shortly after the marathon bombing.
4:03 am
and they came up with cell phone connection between tsarnaev and the dead man in orlando. ashleigh banfield has been reporting on the massachusetts state police then getting involved. >> is the fbi looking at the man in orlando and tamerlan for radicalization links? >> we know all three men had checked out a martial arts website and forum. and william plotnikov. the fbi has been investigating links between him and tamerlan because tamerlan was in russia last year and came home right after that man was killed by russian forces. and fbi has been checking to see if tamerlan met with him while he was there in russia. >> fascinating developments on this today, susan. another terror-related story we're following later in this hour. horrific murder, brazen murder on the streets of london. a meat cleaver and kitchen knife

4:07 am
shannon's mom, joy. we met joy and listened to her today at the hospital. she wanted to talk about her daughter. she wanted to talk about what her daughter went through. she was sitting next to her daughter-in-law. how long did it feel like it went on for? >> five or ten minutes at least. >> and were you able to speak to each other during it? >> i just remember hollering asking god to keep us safe. it took the wall. it got the ceiling. and i could feel it sucked the wall out behind us. it felt like it was trying to somersault me. had me rolled up in a ball. something air came and hit me on the bottom of the foot.
4:08 am
i remember that. i don't remember anything hitting that arm. >> did you lose consciousness? >> i may have for just an instant because the first recollection i have is tanner, my oldest grandson, he was standing up. the boys call me ma instead of grandma. i've always been ma to them. ma, are you okay? please be okay. i don't know how long he had been hollering at me. i was kind of able to push myself up. i can't move that arm, but i used my elbow to push up. when i saw shannon, i started yelling for someone to come help. someone came over and called 911. it was so bad they couldn't get ambulances up in there to help her. >> as soon as you saw her, you knew she was in bad shape? >> yeah.
4:09 am
the hole -- you could see -- >> there was gas everywhere. there was a fire. i just knew i was going to get blown up. >> were you able to talk to her? >> she kept saying she was, she couldn't breathe. i think her lungs were filling up with fluid. she kept saying tanner, jackson, tanner, jackson. i told her they were okay. to lay real still. she kept saying she wanted to turn over so she could breathe better. >> what did you say to her? >> i told her she had to lay still so she didn't cause any more injuries. >> when did you find out she had passed away? >> the emt guy was over there. she had been holding on to his pant leg. she had her fingers gripped in his pant leg. he kept talking to her and all of a sudden her arm went limp.
4:10 am
and he had taken -- some military guy had taken his shirt off and he had that over her chest to keep her warm. and he pulled it up over her face. i kept telling him she wasn't gone, that she was breathing. but she wasn't. >> what do you want people to know about shannon? >> i think that people that know her already know about her. she was so good. there's not a soul that doesn't love her. >> loving mother. >> she loved her kids. still so hard to believe, isn't it? >> uh-huh. >> well, thank you for taking the time to talk to us. i appreciate it. tanner's doing okay. her grandson, shannon's son.

4:16 am
welcome back. we're here live in moore, oklahoma. plaza towers elementary school you've heard so much about, where seven children died, really got a direct hit from a tornado here in moore. the helicopter video at the scene right after the impact was horrifying. the school was flattened. parents waited hour after hour well into the night as rescuers desperately searched for their kids, hoping they would be found alive. as we said, we now know seven of the kids did not survive. we have not been able to see up close how totally destroyed the school was until today. john king toured the ruins with sergeant jeremy lewis of the moore police department, who grew up here in town. take a look. >> this is more classrooms back here. this was the gymnasium here. >> was the gym a separate building or was it attached somehow? >> attached -- separate. >> you go across the driveway? >> correct.
4:17 am
>> the classroom building would have ended here? >> correct. >> that's what all this is. wow. >> the school kind of went in a "u." it came out this way right here. it went -- that was the back corner. >> it came out like a "u." >> there was another building separately out there. there were some portables out there, which of course didn't withstand anything. >> that kind of destruction that john king found at plaza towers elementary was also found at briarwood elementary school here in moore. total destruction. amazingly, everyone at briarwood, they got out alive. i'm joined by the superintendent marianne moore. when you look at briarwood, when you look at towers, it's a testament to the preparation and also the teachers and the principals. >> it is absolutely to the credit of our school staff and our teachers. they do such wonderful work every day.
4:18 am
and this is just an example how they actually performed the protocol and procedures that we have in place. they put themselves between the children and harm's way and did the best they could to account for the safety of their students. this is a practice that -- a protocol that we practice all the time, several times a year. >> i think teachers are heroes all around the country. >> absolutely. >> but we really see it at a time like this. >> absolutely. they did a wonderful job. >> i get text from people around the country all the time. why aren't there shelters in all schools? in new schools, are there -- are shelters being built, or is it just in old schools? >> there has been a focus on that in recent years and looking at safe rooms in schools. after the 1999 tornado here, when west moore high school was rebuilt, and kelly elementary was rebuilt from the ground up. fema assisted us in putting safe rooms and safe hallways in those schools.
4:19 am
plaza towers, for example, was built in 1965. and briarwood in the 1980s. at that time, that kind of technology or equipment was not available. we didn't have that in those schools. >> is there a hope that or would you like to see older schools retrofitted? i talked to the mayor who said that economically he's not sure that's possible. >> economically, it would be very hard. would we love to see it? absolutely. we would love to see that. and we'll review all of the information available to us at the time. the retrofit for older buildings is expensive and has to be planned for and done in a systematic way. we have 32 school sites with various buildings on the school sites. and so it is something we have looked at and will continue to look at in the future. i understand there's some legislation being proposed. >> you had a meeting today, i think 3,000 people. >> we did. >> how did that go? what was the response?
4:20 am
what were people saying to you? >> the response was one that i expected from this community, where i've grown up, this community i love, we're strong and resilient school community and community. we work very hard for each other, try to support each other in all things, and this is just the perfect example of everyone working together as we work to build back our schools and our community. >> you're retiring? >> i am retiring. >> but you're going to stay on because there is still a lot of need -- >> i will be here. i am a member of this community above and beyond being the student. i've lived here for the most part of my life, when my parents moved here in 1960. i've been with the school district for 25 years. this is my home and i will stay -- >> you started when you were 5 years old? >> that's correct, absolutely. >> i'm so glad so many kids did make it out. >> and we are counting our blessings. and, of course, grieving with
4:21 am
and supporting those families that lost their children. >> thank you so much. we really appreciate it. thank you for all your hard work. >> thank you. >> for more on this story go to cnn.com. toby keith is from moore, lives here, still gives us a tour in his hometown, what's left of it. we're here with him as he gives us an up close look at this community and talks about how this community comes back time after time after they get knocked down. they stand up stronger. also, husband and father remembered a grieving family, shares them memories of hemmet bonding. 65 years old, he was with his wife when the twister hit. he was in her arms. she says he had a bright light that wouldn't be put out and he'll be with her for the rest of her life.
4:25 am
the destruction here in moore, so extensive. it's really hard to believe that so many people survived. it's really such a blessing. it appears quick reaction right after the twister hit and even before, neighbors searching and digging for their neighbors played a role in helping people make it through. we know more than 100 people were pulled live from the wreckage. one man in moore who may have saved a life is juan. take a look at the video he sent us. >> is anybody here? watch out. is anybody here? take them over here.
4:26 am
4:27 am
hey. are you here? where at? >> talk to me. >> where you at? >> right here. >> where? holler. we're going to get you. we're going to get you! hey, hey! there's somebody in here. there's somebody in here. >> call for help. >> help us right here. >> this is the man who juan olivo helped save. it took him and others five to ten minutes to dig him out. olivo never learned his name. home looks very different today for toby keith. we walked with him through what was once a busy neighborhood and talked about how this community has come back time after time from devastating tornados. what's it like for you to see this place like this? >> ain't nothing i've never seen before. growing up here my whole life. we've seen this a lot. so it's pretty much the same.
4:28 am
gets you right here every time. >> it seems like -- i mean, i've seen a lot, too, but it seems every time it's different. every time -- you never get used to it. >> no, it's a different path every time. this -- we're about two miles south of where the last one -- or mile and a half south of where the big one in '99 crossed but there was one the day before this one that knocked shawnee out that no one talked about. but those people up there, you ask them, this is just as devastating. it looks like this up there, too, in places. it's part of living in the plains. >> seems like everywhere we go we see people trying to salvage whatever they can, possessions of their house. >> my sister, my sister-in-law, my niece all got hit. and if your house looks like that, where you still have a structure left, then you get most of your possessions back, insurance company fixes your house. if you have a storm shelter which you should have, then you're rocking, you know. it all comes back. >> it seems like we're on the
4:29 am
foundation -- this is the slab of someone's foundation. obviously, they didn't have a basement. a lot of people who don't live here are surprised to learn not everyone has a storm shelter. they're expensive. >> if you go into the neighborhoods, a lot of people that can't afford them will have them and then three or four people won't. they'll share. everyone knows where the closest shelter is. if you asked somebody who survived it, and they had a shelter, their neighbors were in there with them. >> i was talking to a woman in the hospital, her 65-year-old husband got sucked out of her arms and died. she said, i'm going to rebuild in the same place because i've got my neighbors. i'll never find neighbors like this anywhere else in the world. >> i know. last night i got here and went straight to my sister's house and we got her boarded in and got her roof covered and everything. and i was standing, doing an interview and this lady goes, he's standing in front of my car.
4:30 am
you know, you're like, what? she said, it's need you're standing in front of my car. i said, is this your house? yeah, she was happy, uplifting. i said, i can't believe you're this happy? she said, what are you going to do? i've lived here my whole life. i'm going to rebuild. that's when you go, that's my neighbor. >> thank you. >> thanks for covering it. >> my pleasure. >> we saw neighbors coming out to help today. hundreds of people all around the town coming with shovels and rakes and brooms just to clean up in ways large and small. they want to tell you about their loved one, to know a little about them. i was lucky enough to meet the family of emmett, whose wife survived, and she's now in the hospital. her coverage and bravery are remarkable. i spoke to her and her daughter at the hospital in oklahoma city.
4:31 am
do you remember what happened during the tornado? >> my husband -- i went to our middle room, which is normal in oklahoma, you go to your middle bathroom, you know, where there's no windows or -- and i heard it coming. but i thought, well, it will just take the windows. i felt like i was in a blender. >> you felt like you were in a blender? >> that's the best way to describe it. the walls just kind of came down on me and they just kind of swirled. and i held on to my husband as long as i could. and he just flew into space. >> you actually felt him flying away? >> yeah. and i don't know where he went. >> were you speaking to each other during this storm? >> yes. >> what were you saying? >> well, he was telling me how much he loved me. and i said, i love you. and the whole house just went. >> the whole house all around
4:32 am
you? >> it's gone. >> were things hitting you? >> yes. >> while you were in the bathroom? >> yes. you see, i'm cut all over. >> that's how you got the abrasions on your face. >> that's the least of it. >> you were saying you feel like your husband flew to heaven? >> i do. i haven't -- i have no -- i know he's taken care of. >> and that gives you peace? >> yes. i know i was left on earth. i have a few broken ribs and a lot of cuts, but i was left on earth because i have some work to do. >> how are you doing? >> okay. you know, we talk about the outlooks and everything and, you know, very positive. i said, dad was positive. he wouldn't want us to be crying
4:33 am
and right now it's -- you know, now it's staying positive and knowing he's in a better place, not in pain anymore and stock -- stock exchange in the sky is where he at probably. >> he liked the stock exchange? >> he's a big stock market guy, yeah. >> where will you go from here? >> rebuild. my daughter will be here to help me. my mother, my sister and then all my friends. just beautiful, beautiful people. at a time like this, is when you find out how much your friends mean. >> all the stuff that's small and insignificant slips away at a time like this? >> yes. >> i'm glad you're alive and surrounded by loved ones.
4:34 am
>> yeah. >> i know my husband's with me. you understand, he had a bright light that wouldn't be put out. and he'll be with me for the rest of my life. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> thanks for talking to us. she also wanted people to know that she feels surrounded by love. love from friends and neighbors and the community and that love is the most important thing. she wanted to get that message across. that was her daughter geeta as well. the calm after the storm. coming up, i want you to meet golden retrievers who are bringing hope, light and comfort to the littlest survivors here in moore. you'll meet them live on the program. also, frightening and brazen murder on the streets of london. a soldier is dead. a suspect delivers a bizarre message on video about the motive.
4:38 am
president obama will travel to oklahoma this sunday for a firsthand look at the tornado damage and recovery efforts. tonight during an awards ceremony at the white house, the president paused to pay tribute to those who lost so much here. >> of course, as we gather tonight to present this award, our thoughts and prayers remain with the wonderful people of oklahoma. they have suffered mightily this week.
4:39 am
and while the road ahead will be long, their country will be with them every single step of the way. that's who we are and that's how we treat our family and friends and our neighbors wherever they are in the country. we're going to help them recover, we're going to help them rebuild for as long as it takes. and eventually life will go on. and new memories will be made. and new laughter will come, new songs will be sung. >> and a lot of places in moore, new memories are already being made thanks to a special group whose job it is to be the calm after the storm, comfort dogs. gary tuchman was with them as they visited some of the youngest victims of the tornado. >> reporter: six golden retrievers and their handlers on a mission to help in way only dogs can. this is children's hospital at oklahoma university medical center and these are the comfort dogs. they've come here to comfort. this is bekka, this is ruthie, this is barnabus, the oldest of the dogs here, 3 years old, the
4:40 am
veteran. this is kai. and this is lila. lila is the youngest of the group. she's only 9 months old. she's in training. these dogs are trained and sponsored by lutheran church charities. only the most obedient and docile dogs qualify. they show up at national disasters, like the oklahoma tornado, to help comfort victims. 8-year-old courtney brown, a second grade student at the plaza towers elementary school, fractured her skull in the tornado. >> hi, courtney. this is ruthie. >> hi, ruthie. >> reporter: courtney went to the same school where seven other children were killed. did you have peanut butter today? she's sniffing peanut butter. >> no. >> reporter: courtney's dad sits beside his daughter, so grateful she's alive and able to talk to ruthie and ruthie's handler. >> i'm worried about how my school was destroyed. >> you want to --
4:41 am
>> by the tornado. >> sure. >> okay. i was on the ground, i was on my knees and doing this, and i hit my head on the back and here. >> there you go. >> reporter: but it's not only children and not only victims the comfort dogs visit. many of the doctors and nurses want to see them, too. courtney, who broke her arm before the tornado, said she got to visit with two comfort dogs. ruthie and lila. lila is only 9 months old. she's a puppy, she's the same size as ruthie. isn't that amazing? >> i think she was a little smaller. >> reporter: she's still small but bigger than you. >> true. if she was on two legs. >> reporter: maybe next time she can come standing on two legs and walk through the door. comfort dogs have comforted courtney and plenty of other victims in this hospital. >> i like doggies. >> reporter: a canine mission
4:42 am
accomplished. gary tuchman, cnn, oklahoma city. >> that little girl's own dog is missing. so, it's such a comfort to have that dog with her. joining me now is one of the comfort dog handlers with lutheran church ministries. this is kai? >> this is kai. >> how old is kai? >> 2. >> it's got to be the most rewarding job imaginable. i was saying earlier in our 8:00 hour, one day when i get fired from the world of tv, i would love to do your job because it's got to be extraordinary. >> it's rewarding to help people. to help people during different times. that's the rewarding part of it. emotional, too. but it is rewarding. and to watch what god can do through them. >> how much training does kai get? >> we start training at 5 weeks and they spend -- we spend one year in training the dogs. >> and they're so -- i mean, golden retrievers are so calm. they're fantastic. >> they're lovers. they're lovers. >> what do you think the kids get out of it?
4:43 am
it's really not just kids. it's doctors and everybody. >> all ages. >> everybody gravitates toward these animals. i've seen them in newtown, all over. >> they show unconditional love. they're confidential, safe, and i think they help people feel accepted. when that happens, it lowers their blood rate. and they feel more comfortable to share what's happened. a big part of healing is to be able to talk about what's happened. >> it was amazing seeing that girl in the hospital wanting to talk to the dog about what she had been through. >> many times people will talk to a dog before they talk to a human. >> is that right? >> dogs are good listeners. we humans always think we have to say something. we have to listen. the dog's advice to people in the world, bark less. >> do you have plans to go to other hospitals in the area? >> yes, hospitals and schools. other victims. >> who pays for this? how does this happen? >> we never charge the people we
4:44 am
serve, so we come in and we rely on donors to help us with our expenses. >> i'm sure there's a lot of folks that would like to donate. how do you donate? >> you go to our website, lutheranchurchcharities.org. >> lutheranchurchcharities.org. >> yep, can you go there. >> how long do you stay in a place? >> as long as they need us. in newtown, we still have dogs every day in newtown. >> how many dogs do you have nationwide? >> we have 70 as of this moment in 8 states. and it will soon be ten. >> wow. >> we can't keep up with the breeding. i have to have a pep talk with my breeding dogs. >> is that right? well, i'm going to send you a resume some day. >> please do. we would love to have you. >> it's lutheran -- >> lutheranchurchcharities.org. >> if you want to donate. thank you so much. god bless. incredible. thanks, kai. there's a lot happening in the world tonight. some extraordinary developments overseas in england, sheer terror on the streets in the

grisly triple-slashing back in 2011. a triple-homicide. it wasn't the only terror story. this terror plain and simple in england. as chilling an image as you will see. a meat cleaver in the hands of a man, seconds earlier they chanted allah akbar hacked a man to death. police say two men knocked him down with a car, descended on him with knives and cleavers and a gun and dumped his body in the road. and almost unbelievably one of the killers approached onlookers and made a statement. >> we swear by the almighty allah. an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. i apologize that women had to witness this today. in our land our women have to see the same. you people will never be safe.
4:50 am
your government, they don't care about you. you think david cameron is going to get caught in the street when we start busting our guns? do you think the politicians are going to? no, it's go to be the average guy like you. >> it's absolutely sickening. he and his partner waited for police. reportedly attacked them and were shot and wounded. they're in custody now. the british government quick to call the murder an act of terrorism. david cameron surrounding a defiant note. >> we have suffered these attacks before, we have always beaten them back. we've done that through a combination of vigilance, security, security information, of good policing, but above all the way we've beaten them back is showing an absolutely indomnable british spirit that we will not be cowed, we will not buckle under these sorts of attacks. >> for more, i spoke with nic robertson and christiane amanpour earlier. what do you make of this? we have not seen this kind of attack certainly in england. there was the film maker in, i
4:51 am
think it was the netherlands who was killed in a knife attack. they haven't seen something like this, have they? >> no. all of the security experts have been telling us throughout this day. you know, the words this man is saying, captured on cell phone video, are almost exact replicas the 7/7 bombers said in their video they left before they blew up the underground and the buses. it's similar to what tsarnaev in the boat before the manhunt. are these people part of a bigger conspiracy, a bigger al qaeda. just about everybody i've spoken to today says it does not look like that. this was very, very low tech. it seems to be homegrown. it seems to be lone wolf, if you like, copycat kind of crime. it is terror because it designed to terrorize and create fear and
4:52 am
panic. and these people even went so far as you've seen to get themselves recorded. now, they have been captured alive. they've been taken into hospital. they were obviously wounded when they confronted police. presumably we'll hear a lot more about it. but i think, anderson, when we try to figure out what's going on after this more than decade-long war against al qaeda, by and large, massive attacks on the homeland, massive al qaeda spectacular attacks have not happened again since. and intelligence experts always told us that what it was going to be was al qaeda affiliates and franchises like aqap in yemen, like aqim in the muslim maghreb, and onesies and twosies and that's what people have said. whether it's boston or here today. >> nic, we don't know whether this person is a british citizen. whether they grew up in england.
4:53 am
