york city, i'm don dahler. home-grown terror -- a startling courtroom confession today in colorado. and in the san bernardino case, even before they started dating, the killers started planning online, under the radar. also tonight -- >> i'm sorry. >> an apology from the mayor of chicago can't stop demands for his resignation. trump throws the gop into turmoil. and a medical breakthrough -- a new way to make puppies. this is the "cbs overnight news." there are major developments in two terror cases. the fbi says that planning for the san bernardino massacre began much earlier than first thought, and in colorado, the man charged last month with murdering three at a planned parenthood clinic made a startling courtroom confession.

in colorado springs. >> reporter: well, scott, robert dear kept up a stream of outbursts from the beginning of the hearing to outline the charges he faces. >> i would ask the court -- >> let's let it all come out. truth! >> reporter: moments earlier, he shouted "i am guilty there will be no trial. i am a warrior for the babies." there were more outbursts after the judge allowed cameras to be turned on, including this one. >> the truth, huh? kill the babies. that's what planned parenthood does. >> reporter: scott, the public defender wants dear examined for competency before they even begin talking about when to schedule a preliminary hearing. >> barry petersen in colorado tonight, thank you. now, in the san bernardino attacks, we learned tonight that the two killers, american syed farook, and his pakistani wife, tashfeen malik, may have had help from a third suspect.

case. >> reporter: fbi director james comey told congress the couple's radicalization goes back years. >> as early as the end of 2013, they were talking to each other about jihad and martyrdom, before they became engaged and then married and lived together in the united states. >> reporter: in fact, the radicalization could include enrique marquez, a friend who is related to farook by marriage. a u.s. official tells cbs news the fbi is investigating whether farook and marquez were planning a violent attack as far back as 2012, and discussed buying weapons. but a round of terrorism arrests in california in late 2012, may have scuttled the alleged plan. marquez eventually bought the two assault weapons used in last week's attack and now is being questioned by fbi over what he may have known about farook and malik's plans. the fbi says the couple was on the path to radicalization even before isis rose to power, and

states last year to marry farook on a visa that required an extensive background check. at the hearing, new york democrat chuck schumer asked if there were missed warnings. >> how come we didn't know about these communications before the attacks? >> reporter: south carolina republican lindsey graham asked whether their marriage was part of the plot. >> is there any evidence that this marriage was arranged by a terrorist organization or terrorist operative? >> i don't know the answer to that yet. >> do you agree with me that if it was arranged by a terrorist operative or organization, that's a game changer? >> it would be a very, very important thing to know. >> reporter: now, sources tell cbs news the justice department is looking to charge marquez, who provided some of the guns used in last week's attack, with material support for terrorism. scott, as the investigation continues, there could be other charges. >> jan crawford in washington. jan, thanks. today, carter evans met some of those who were first at the scene of last wednesday's

wounded 21. >> reporter: detective brian lewis was among the first officers on the scene. >> approaching the building, we knew that we were probably outgunned. >> the rooms looked like chaos, trash thrown everywhere, food everywhere, tables and chairs broken, people laying on the floor. >> looking at all the victims inside, and some people were laying there -- some people were crying. some people were screaming. >> it felt odd to step past some of them, knowing that we had to find the gunmen inside. >> reporter: outside paramedics set up triage for the wounded. >> we were doing our best to comfort them and tell them that they were safe. >> this is absolutely the worst thing that i've encountered in my career.

detective jorge lazano was helping with evacuations. >> there was a female there with a small child, an eight-year-old little boy that was just terrified, just shivering almost, shaking like a leaf, and i said what i said: >> i'll take a bullet for you, that's for damn sure. just be cool, okay? >> reporter: by then the killers were already gone. later, when police cornered their black suv, the couple fired 76 rounds at officers behind them and nicholas koahou was shot in the leg. >> i did not know who was in the back of that car shooting at us. >> reporter: so you know now that was tashfeen firing at you? >> i do now. >> reporter: crisis counselors have been working with police and firefighters since the attack, and even though first responders were here within minutes of the shooting, scott, they say their biggest regret is that they weren't here in time to stop the massacre. >> carter evans at the scene of the assault. carter, thanks. the first of six baltimore

freddie gray took the witness stand today. he took the stand in his own defense and chip reid is following the case. >> reporter: 26-year-old baltimore police officer william porter arrived at the courthouse today ready to tell his side of the story. in april, 25-year-old freddie gray suffered a severe spinal injury during a 45-minute ride in a police van. his death a week later sparked days of protests and riots. it's not known how gray's neck was broken. the van made six stops and porter was present for five of them. porter said today, he asked gray, are you hurt, do you need a medic? gray said yes. but porter testified, i didn't call for medical help because gray was unable to give me a reason for a medical emergency. porter also said he thought gray was faking injury to avoid going to jail, which he said is common

prosecutors have charged porter with manslaughter, arguing he had a duty to get medical help and to put a seat belt on gray. porter said despite department policy in his two years on the force, he's never seen a suspect seat belted in a van. baltimore's mayor was criticized last spring for policies that some say encouraged the rioting. today, he promised a harder line and pleaded for peace, no matter what the jury decides. >> we need to respect their decisions and their -- and respect the process. >> reporter: officer porter said he knew freddie gray from the neighborhood and sometimes when gray wasn't dirty, meaning he wasn't carrying or selling drugs, they'd talk. and scott, officer porter said when he found freddie gray in the back of the van not breathing, it was a very traumatic experience. >> chip reid reporting tonight. thank you, chip. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. almost sixty million americans are affected by mental illness.

[ gunfire ] but then somehow he slipped back into france and helped to gun down 90 music fans at the bataclan concert hall before being killed at the scene. the police had no idea who aggad was until his mother got a text from syria saying her son had been killed on the 13th of november, the day of the attack. that led forensic teams to match dna samples of the body found in the bataclan to samples provided

only one of the core group of paris attackers is still alive. salah abdeslam escaped and is presumed to be on the way, or even already in syria. also still alive and on the wanted list are all those who provided support, says the anti- terrorism consultant jean charles brisard. >> probably more than 20 individuals have been involved in one way or another in terms of providing logistics, support, transportation, financing for this network. >> reporter: one such suspect is mohamed abrini, seen on surveillance video in a car two days before the attack. with more than 2,000 property searches in less than a month and more than 250 arrests, the pressure is on anybody in france who has been to syria or who has links to extremists, but there are more than 10,000 of them. so the french intelligence services would have to grow by

the problem? >> at least. to be sufficient we need around 20 to 30 agents to follow 24 hours a day, for one single individual. >> reporter: scott, to add to the stress, french intelligence think isis will try more attacks in france to make themselves look strong, but above all to distract from the fact that in iraq and syria, at the moment they are steadily losing ground. >> liz palmer reporting for us tonight in paris, liz, thanks. it was paris and san bernardino that led republican presidential front-runner donald trump to call for a ban on muslims entering the united states. major garrett tells us tonight that has thrown the party into turmoil. >> thank you. >> reporter: donald trump says his proposal is about keeping the country safe and not about religion. >> are you a bigot? >> not at all, probably the least of anybody you've ever met. >> because?

i'm a person that has common sense. i'm a smart person. i know how to run things. >> reporter: but republicans fear a trump nomination could alienate minority and women voters the party has been trying to reach since its 2012 presidential election loss. >> i think trump should quit. >> reporter: illinois republican adam kinzinger, who backs jeb, fears trump would hurt other gop candidates. >> it could easily cost republicans at least the majority in the senate and some seats in the house. >> reporter: but republicans disagree on how to defeat trump. wisconsin governor scott walker, who dropped out of the presidential race in september, said other candidates need to follow his lead to consolidate the anti-trump vote. >> i have signed the pledge. >> reporter: in september trump signed a loyalty pledge to the gop, but today threatened to rip it up, renewing republican fears that he could take support away from the eventual nominee by running as a third party candidate. >> if i don't get treated

consider that. >> reporter: there are no signs republicans still in the race will quit, and most have said they will back trump if he is the nominee. scott, top republicans tell us they are waiting for the so- called trump problem to solve itself, but they have no idea how or when that solution will come. >> major garrett, thanks. trump was trumped today by german chancellor angela merkel. "time" chose her over him as person of the year.

clogging downtown chicago and calling for his resignation, the embattled, emotional and contrite mayor stood before the city council and offered a remedy to the turmoil that is gripping his city. >> we need a painful but honest reckoning of what went wrong. >> calm down, sir! >> reporter: outrage has grown since the release of police dash cam video showing a white policemen shooting a black teenager 16 times. releases of other police killings have reawakened historic complaints of police brutality. demonstrator rosemary vega. >> getting rahm to resign doesn't mean our work is over. getting rahm to resign means our work is just getting started. >> reporter: emanuel's administration fought the release of these videos. now he says, that was wrong. >> every day we held on to the video, contributed to the public's distrust. and that needs to change. >> reporter: but the problems go

on a root cause when he recalled being asked a question recently by a young black man. >> he said, "do you think the police would ever treat you the way they treat me?" and the answer is "no." and that is wrong. and that has to change in this city. that has to come to an end, and end now! >> reporter: now the mayor says he won't resign, and the protesters out on the street tonight say they won't quit until he does. scott, it's a test of wills with no middle ground. >> dean reynolds, thanks. a new study finds that america's middle class is not only struggling but it is shrinking. and storms in the northwest turn

americans. that upper class takes home of nearly after of all annual income in the u.s., 49%, up from 29% in 1970. >> it's not that middle americans are worse off, it's they're falling behind relative to upper income adults. >> reporter: the lower-income tier has also grown from 16% to 20% since 1970. meredith reilly's been among them since she was laid off. she has a college degree and a master's, but little hope. >> i just don't feel like the jobs are out there, that are going to put me back to where i was. >> reporter: the pew study found the great recession hit the middle class especially hard, scott. their median wealth fell by 28% between 2001 and 2013. >> anthony mason, thank yo, anthony. some of the best seats in baseball are the most dangerous.

fertilization, fertilizing an egg with a sperm in a lab, then implanting the embryo in a surrogate, has been around for humans since the late 1970s. but researchers like travis only recently figured out how to make it work with canines. dog reproduction is different than almost every other mammal. >> so this we think will have a lot of applications in veterinary medicine for animals that are valuable working dogs or show dogs or just animals that people love and want to breed. >> reporter: it's not just genetic lines like best in show that could benefit, but entire breeds like collies known for eye problems, dalmatians prone to urinary stones and golden retrievers susceptible to certain cancers could be helped. >> we can use new technologies in gene editing, and we can use that to try to fix those defects and prevent the disease before it even starts. >> reporter: red and green were among seven ivf puppies born this past july.
