>> he was armed with a hatchet and armed with a weapon that strongly assembles a semiautomatic pistol, but as we know now, after examination, it is an airsoft gun. >> reporter: the 911 call went in just after 1:00. two officers working nearby ran to the theateror. one went inside, trading shots with montano before backing out. the inside of the theater was thick with pepper spray, which police say drove out the other people watching the movie. customers in other movies were told to stay put and watch out for a man with a gun and a hatchet. >> we heard screams, we assumed because "insidious" was showing in a theater nearby. we thought that must be a scary movie. >> we heard screams and then a shot. and then a little while after that, metro police came in and they escorted us out. >> reporter: the gunman eventually went out the theater's rear door where police shot and killed him. the bomb squad detonated the backpack the shooter was wearing. that backpack contained a hoax device. montano's motive remains a mystery. hunter kelly, abc news, antioch, tennessee.

of the puzzle. international investigators say the item known as a flaperon definitely came from a boeing 777. mh-370 is the only 777 missing, so the flaperon likely belonged to it. we still don't know why it crashed or where. and even though reunion island is an ocean away from the search area, it is consistent with where oceanographers predicted the wind, waves and currents would carry floating debris. >> it's not going to tell us what happened to 370. the real answer to what's happened to this airplane is sitting at the bottom of the ocean 1,000 miles off the coast coast of australia. >> reporter: sources tell abc news that is investigators here in france have not found a serial number that would connect the part definitively to mh-370, so the language they're using, some of them, is extra cautious. they're saying it's their strong presumption that the part is from the plane. french authorities have not yet investigated the luggage that

also washed ashore on reunion island, so we might have more answers in the day ahead. david wright, abc news, paris. president obama trying to drum up support for the landmark nuclear deal with iran. the president used a speech at american university to take on his critics of the agreement, calling republicans' opposition knee-jerk partisanship. he warned that there's only one alternative to this deal. >> so, let's not mince words. the choice we face is ultimately between diplomacy or some form of war, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not three months from now, but soon. >> the president also referred to critics of the deal as "armchair nuclear scientists." he says if iran cheats, we can and will catch them. as japan marks the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of hiroshima, local leaders calling on president obama and other world leaders to help make the world nuclear-free. tens of thousands gathered this

mask. he walked into the showing of the new "mad max" film. one of the officers who was first on the scene confronted him, and suddenly, they were in a gun fight. >> the suspect raised his weapon toward that officer, pulled the trigger. that officer then fired on the suspect and then backed away from the theater. >> reporter: outside, officers found a man hit in the shoulder with the hatchet and two women recovering from being sprayed with pepper spray. they're being treated at a nearby hospital. about 20 people were still hiding out inside. >> i went out to use the bathroom and there were two cops out there, and they told me to go back into the theater and that if i saw somebody, a man, a white man with red hair, that i needed to get out immediately because he had a gun on him. >> reporter: then a s.w.a.t. team storms the theater, tearing through the cloud of the gunman's pepper spray, forcing him out the back door of the theater where police are waiting, firing away and killing him. police are now identifying the gunman.

they say vincente montano had significant psychiatric issues and was reported missing august 3rd. nashville police confirm he had an airsoft pistol and not a real firearm. bomb squads blew up the backpack the man left behind, which police say was holding a hoax device meant to fool police. >> the actions of that first officer who went in the theater to engage this individual may well have saved multiple individuals inside that theater as officers worked to evacuate everyone in here. >> reporter: steve osunsami, abc news, atlanta. now to the high-stakes negotiations over the nuclear deal with iran. president obama taking on critics of the landmark agreement, warning that the only other option is war. we get the details from abc's stephanie ramos. >> reporter: at the top of his remarks, president obama jokingly addressed why he was late. >> i apologize for the slight delay. even presidents have problems with toner. >> reporter: but the president quickly turned to the serious

business of selling the iran nuclear deal, saying his critics have been quick to discredit the deal aimed at preventing iran from building a nuclear weapon. >> and so, before the ink was even dry on this deal, before congress even read it, a majority of republicans declared their virulent opposition. lobbyists and pundits were suddenly transformed into armchair nuclear scientists. >> reporter: obama says the agreement with iran builds on an american tradition of strong, principled diplomacy with adversarie adversaries. as for opponents who want the u.s. to push for a better deal -- >> those making the deal are either ignorant of iranian society, remember or they're just not being straight with the american people. >> reporter: obama compared those against the agreement to politicians who pushed for the 2003 invasion of iraq, and he warned that if congress blocks the deal next month, it will put the u.s. on the path to some form of war. >> maybe not tomorrow, maybe not three months from now, but soon. >> reporter: but the republican chairman of the senate foreign relations committee says that's not true.
