7:04 am

7:06 am
russel houser. he'd been in the lafayette area since july. investigators believe he was acting alone and it increasingly appears he was firing randomly at theatergoes or and may not have known any of the victims. he acted alone when he opened fire. he fired about 13 rounds. he also planned to escape by parking his car near a theater exit but turned back into the theater when he saw police. police located his car and safely cleared the vehicle using a controlled explosion. inside the vehicle they found disguises including glasses and wigs. already officials told us he has a criminal history but that does not include any recent arrests. the motive remains a mystery. investigators are asking anyone who may have known the gunman to come forward with information. >> jeff, thank you. we will continue to monitor the investigation into the movie
7:07 am
theetd theater rampage in louisiana. we'll bring you updates throughout the broadcast. hillary clinton's use as private e-mails while secretary of state could become a criminal department. the justice department has been asked to open up a criminal investigation. two government watchdogs are concerned whether classified information was mishandled. jan crawford is in washington with the growing e-mail controversy. >> reporter: good morning. the justice department confirms that two inspectors general, one at the state department and a second with intelligence agencies have asked to open a criminal investigation. at issue is whether hillary clinton sent classified information on her private e-mail account she was using while secretary of state. clinton has repeatedly said she did not but the inspector general says her private account contains hundreds of potentially classified materials including at least one that's been publicly released. the campaign said any released
7:08 am
e-mails deemed classified have been done so after the fact. and clinton said back in march, quote, i did not e-mail any classified material to anyone on my e-mail. she said she used the account for convenience. it also made it harder for congress and the media to get access to her e-mails as secretary of state and she's asked the state department to release those e-mails. the justice department has not decided if it will open an investigation. donald trump is not backing down this morning from his hard-line stance on illegal immigration. he made a whirlwind visit to the u.s. border with mexico. he drew both protests and supporters. nancy cordes is in laredo texas, where trump repeatedly spoke of the danger high faced. >> reporter: before he came here, he warned he may not survive his visit because it was so dangerous. that may help explain why he
7:09 am
ended up deciding to spend very little time here at the actual border. like a soldier ready for battle donald trump landed in laredo and said he was willing to take his life in his hands to see the u.s. border. >> people have said it's so dangerous what you're doing, mr. trump. i have to do it. i have to do it. >> reporter: he got in his motorcade and headed straight to an air conditioned border crossing office building. emerging about a half an hour later for a press conference under a tent outside. >> we have a tremendous danger on the border with illegals coming in. >> reporter: his provocative comments have earned him condemnation and new fans. >> they are bringing drugs, crime, they're rapists. they're taking our money. they're taking everything and killing us on the border. >> reporter: but proof for those assertions has been hard to come by. >> have you seen any evidence to confirm your fears about --
7:10 am
>> why and i've heard it from a lot of people. >> what evidence specifically? >> we'll be showing you the evidence. >> when? >> a tour of the border had to be scrapped after the local border patrol union pulled out. in a statement, the regional union office said we need to have an honest discussion about border security but unfortunately trump's comments have created an environment hostile to that conversation. >> it's a big problem. >> reporter: gop front-runner insisted the comments have been taken out of context. >> big crowds screaming in favor of trump because they want the problem fixed. >> reporter: trump's entire visit lasted about 3 1/2 hours and at no point did his life appear to be in any danger. local officials joked he may have been safer here than in his hometown ever new york city because the murder rate there is significantly higher. >> nancy cordes, thank you. in our next hour we'll talk to senator marco rubio.
7:11 am
he's taking a leading role in the immigration debate. and why rubio is so critical of trump on the issue. more than 100 homes are in the paths of a massive wildfire near california's wine country. flames shot 100 feet in the air and have burned more than ten square miles. the fire is 1 of 7 raging in california right now. ben tracy is at the command center in vacaville with how firefighters are trying to get the upper hand. ben, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. for two days now firefighters have been throwing everything they're have at this fire. these engines just returned from a long night on the line. some of these firefighters working 24-hour shifts. but their efforts have -- >> the fire tearing across the mountainous terrain has already burned through thousands of acres. crews are attacking the flames
7:12 am
from every angle with planes from above and firefighters on the ground. some of the 13 deployed helicopters have been using the lake to refill their buckets. >> this is all just bone dry. >> reporter: joe fletcher says the lake's close proximity is essential in the firefight. >> the turn around time between the dipping and dropping is a lot less. >> reporter: when alaina returned to inspect the damage to hir childhood home on thursday parts of the yard were still smoldering. >> i was afraid that everything was going to be completely gone. the inside of the house is somewhat burned but they were able to save the structure. >> reporter: this nearby barn was not at fortunate. it's the only structure that's been destroyed. the firefighters have gotten much-needed help from the weather. the temperatures have been lower and winds died down overnight.
7:13 am
that helped them fight this fire. they want to get more containment today because triple-digit heat is in the forecast for next week. this morning, gusty winds and hot weather could give new life to a wildfire in montana's glacier national park. it started tuesday. flames have burned more than six square miles. a fire forced tourists to leave hotels and campgrounds. president obama is on his way to africa on a trip that will make history. he'll arrive in nairobi after a refooling stop at ramstein air base in germany. the president's famther was born there. >> reporter: president obama is due, too rive to arrive here. there is great an tis paugs. the last time he was in kenya it was 2006 and he was a member of the united states senate. security is very tight.
7:14 am
ever present. most roads are closed. a few that are open are flanked by kenyan security forces and aircraft routinely patrol the skies over nairobi. all of this because of though threat posed by al shabab. there were two attacks here one at a shopping mall and in april the attack at gariss university that targeted christian students killing 147. counterterrorism and economic development are expected to be at the top of the president's agenda. he's also expected to criticize kenya's leadership for its staunch opposition to gay marriage. before the president left for africa he defended the iran nuclear deal. he tells the bbc iran will be held accountable. >> and we've sent a clear message to the iranians. we still have a big account

we're going to work. hopefully some diplomatically. if necessary, some of it militarily. >> congress is in its 60-day review of the accord. julianna goldman is live on capitol hill where they are facing a tense and expensive lobbying effort. >> reporter: it will only intensify over the next 60 days. and with tens of millions of dollars being spent to stop the deal, some are calling it the mother of all congressional fights. >> it isn't a, quote, better deal some sort of uniform arrangement. >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry pushed back. >> the alternative is not what i've seen some ads on tv suggesting. >> reporter: but they are up against the country a biggest pro-israel lobbying group, including aipac and the republican jewish coalition. a lopsided figure compared to
7:16 am
the $10 million spent by groups backing the administration. like j-street a liberal pro-israel group. the groups against the deal are flooding the air waves. >> congress should reject a bad deal. we need a better deal. >> reporter: this spot from citizens for a nuclear-free iran is airing in 35 states. mark mcnulty is with the republican jewish coalition. >> i'd describe it as one of the largest congressional fights we'll see in our life. >> reporter: president obama has threatened to veto any bill that rejects the accord. on thursday he met with about a dozen undecided house democrats, including congressman adam schiff. >> i'm going to try to tune out the external over the air waves cam panning and decide it based
7:17 am
on the merits. >> reporter: one watchdog group told me gun advocates spent half of that to kill gun control legislation in the wake of the sandyhook shooting. this morning the pentagon has a new base for launching attacks on isis. turkey agreed to allow the u.s. military to fly from incirlik air base. >> this trkish air base will make it much easier for the u.s.-led coalition to launch strikes against isis because it's just 16 miles from the syrian border. this turn around comes in a week in which the syrian civil war spilled violently into turkey. on monday a suicide bomber killed more than 30 people in a trkish town close to the border. yesterday the turkish military said five oohisis gunman fired at
7:18 am
a post. and they bombed isis positions inside syria. turkey has been widely criticized for failing to stop the flow of foreign fighters and weapons through its territory into syria. they announced they are building a new wall along parts of its border. the turkish government realizes isis is a threat not just in syria and iraq but also in turkey. >> holly williams in istanbul thank you. mourners will remember the service members killed in the chattanooga shooting rampage. in atlanta, the body of skip wells was escorted along interstate 75 thursday. troops and civilians lined the highway to pay tribute before sunday's funeral. in nashville, people stood in the rain to honor david wyatt. his funeral is today. the navy held a memorial aboard a warship on thursday for petty officer second class randall

breauxbreaux. good morning to our viewers in the west it's thursday july 24, 2015. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead including details about the gunman in the shooting rampage at a louisiana theater. first here is a look at today's "eye opener at 8." investigators tell us a 21-year-old and 33-year-old woman were killed. one person is still listed as critical. >> investigators identified the gunman as 59-year-old john russel houser, described as a drifter from alabama. the inspector general told the justice department her private account contained hundreds of potentially classified e-mails. >> do you see any evidence here to confirm your fears?
8:01 am
>> yes i have. >> for two days now firefighters have been throwing everything they have at this fire, working 24-hour shifts. president obama left washington last night. there is great anticipation here the first visit of a sitting u.s. president to kenya. >> shocking to know that he in fact, was enforcing the laws and probably investigating crimes like robberies. >> anyone want a trump dog? it's full of crap and it hates salsa. >> what does it say? >> i love you. >> i love you, too. >> just stay out there a little longer, okay? >> can i take the bun off? it's like 95 degrees. i'm norah oh dodge with anthony mason and christine johnson of wcbs in new york. charlie and gayle are off. we're learning about the gunman responsible for the louisiana shooting rampage. police say 59-year-old john
8:02 am
russell houser opened fire last night about 20 minutes into the movie "train wreck." three people were killed including the shooter. nine other people are recovering from injuries. omar ville fran ka is in lafayette outside the theater with details on the gunman and what happened inside. omar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we learned the identity of two of the victims, 21 yfrd mayci breaux died at the scene and 33-year-old jill jan johnson died at the hospital. the shooter, houser known as rusty was 59 years old. police say he acted again, fired about 13 rounds. investigators say he planned to escape by parking his car near a theater exit. he went back into the theater when he saw police. he's described as a drifter from alabama who arrived in the lafayette area earlier this month. investigators are still searching for a motive. police in lafayette say houser shot and killed two people before turning the gun on himself just after 7:00 thursday night. we know police officers helped
8:03 am
carry several people from the theater. some people ran out without their shoes and abandoned their belongings. i spoke with louisiana governor bobby jindal. not only is he crediting police officers with getting to the scene within minutes, but teachers inside the theater who saved lives. >> we know the shooter tried to escape had his car parked nearby. he came out and saw law enforcement, went back in the theater, shot and killed himself. a lot of quick thinking. we had a couple of teachers, one of whom jumped in front of another, second teacher shot in the leg still managed to pull the firearm. who knows how many lives they saved? >> investigators say it increasingly looked like houser was shooting at movie goers randomly. police say they know very little about houser so they're asking the lafayette area community for help. >> omar villa fran ka thanks. president obama has been briefed on the shooting.
8:04 am
the white house says the thoughts and prayers of the president and first lady are with the community of lafayette. earlier in the day before the shooting the president got candid with the bbc about gun control in america. >> you mentioned the issue of guns. that is an area where, if you ask me where has been the one area where i feel that i've been most frustrated and most stymied, it is the fact that the united states of america is the one advanced nation on earth in which we do not have sufficient common sense gun safety laws even in the face of repeated mass killings. >> the president said he will try to make progress on the issue in his final 18 months in office. >> the nuclear deal with iran faced tough scrutiny from lawmakers on capitol hill. secretary of state john kerry defended the agreement before the senate foreign relations committee, facing heavy
8:05 am
criticism from the panel's republicans. kerry says it's a, quote, fantasy, to think the u.s. held out for a better deal. he had a particularly heated exchange with republican senator and candidate marco rubio. rubio says the next president can scrap the deal. >> i listened to a long list of your objections here about it but there's no alternative that you or anybody else has proposed as to what -- >> i sure have mr. secretary kerry. >> i'm confident the next president of the united states will have enough common sense that if this is being applied properly, if it's being implemented fully, they're not going to arbitrarily end it. >> senator marco rubio is with us from capitol hill. senator, good morning. >> good morning. >> i want to ask you about that. you heard secretary kerry say it's a fantasy to think you can just bomb away iran's knowledge. what is specifically your alternative? >> as i've talked about, first
8:06 am
of all the fantasy is in believing that they're even going to live to the accord. this is a country that has a long history at least the leaders of iran do violating agreements, of always having a secret nuclear program. they have two secret sites that neither the u.s. or israelis knew about for years. i believe we should have not just kept the sanctions in place from a u.s. perspective, but increased them along with keeping together the global co-lags. what unraveled the global correlation and those sanctions is when we went into these negotiations without the precondition that in order to move forward, iran had to abandon its long range missiles and had abandoned enrichment capabilities. once we gave those away it unraveled everything. now moving forward the only option we have is reimpose the american sanctions and give iran a choice. you have an economy or a weapons program, but not both. >> senator, the deal has the unanimous support.
8:07 am
will congress have the votes to override a presidential veto? >> well, it will all depend on how many democrats join us. there's no doubt the majority of members of congress will vote against this agreement i believe. the question is whether or not enough democrats will join in this effort. otherwise the president will veto whatever we do and it will go into place. as i made clear yesterday and it's important for people around the world to understand, this is a deal with the obama administration. it is not a treaty, not binding on the next president. i anticipate that the next president of the united states may very well, and if it's me i will reimpose the american sanctions in the law right now. >> senator, is there any realistic deal with iran that you would have supported? >> yes, but it would have been to be one that abandon long ring missiles. why are they abandoning long range missiles if they have no interest in a missile. there's no reason other than to put a nuclear warhead on it. the second is, iran will get billions in sanctions relief whichever thing in their history
8:08 am
indicates they will use to sponsor terrorism around the world. that means their proxies in hezbollah, in the shia militia inside iraq proxies in the 14th of february movement in bahrain, the proxies with the houthis in yemen. they tried to assassinate the saudi am bar door right here in washington, d.c. years ago. >> secretary kerry said if we walk away from this from our partners, we're basically on our own and we'll have squaun tered our best chance to stop iran. >> first of all, i don't think our foreign policy should be set by the united nations or unanimous of everything. the united states has to act in its own security interest. second of all, it had unanimous support of many allies because it led them there, this administration took them in that direction. we know for a fact the french wanted a deal stronger than the one that came out. they may be willing to support
8:09 am
it, but they have significant concerns about the issues i pointed to and our most important ally in the middle east, the state of israel. the only pro american free enterprise democracy, they're fervently against this deal. you mentioned the saudis for a moment. the saudis are using diplomatic language in discussing this. they have been very up front. whatever iran has, they are going to have which means they will pursue an enrichment capability, a long-range rocket capability and if iran moves tore a weapon of their own in saudi arabia. >> two inspector generals have sought a criminal inquiry into the clinton e-mail account. what's your reaction to that? >> well, i don't know a lot about that story. obviously that needs to be taken seriously, those recommendations. i have deep concerns about the use of those e-mails because they contain sensitive information of the united states government and the way we do business on a diplomatic front that she exposed to foreign agents by using a non-governmental server.
8:10 am
even more concerning is the constant drama that surrounds anything clinton. it's not just now, not just the e-mails. it's a long string of things that every time they're involved there's something going on with deception or keeping things from the public eye or some other drama. we really as a nation cannot afford four or eight years of that. >> senator, donald trump is leading some of the gop polls and dominating the conversation in the republican party. rick perry called him a cancer on conservative. donald trump won't be the nominee of the republican party. these polls swing up and down. i've been up higher than i am today, i've been lower than i am now. these polls at this point are measuring who people are harg about on the news and donald trump is benefiting from that. i strongly believe that not just the next nominee, but the only way that republicans are going to win the presidency is by offering an optimistic but realistic vision of the 21st century with a real plan of how
8:11 am
we can benefit from all the globalization that's changing the nature of our economy from the technological advances that have changed the nature of work and about playing a proper role in the world in terms of leading the free people of this planet to confront global chal zblengs senator, thank you for joining us. ahead, airlines are making it harder for you to find cheap complies. peter greenberg is

when "48 hours" first reported this story the court first convicted ann bender in murdering her husband in a jungle paradise. her conviction was set aside but she's not out of trouble. tomorrow night susan spencer brings her report. >> john and ann bender abandoned wall street and using their earnings to create an exotic new life in a costa rica rainforest. but their dream ended when in 2010 john bender died from a single gunshot to his head. it was said he was always suicidal and she tried to get the gun away from him. >> reporter: a kfen court said it was murder. after they afterward they said there wasn't

8:19 am
waking up to see her husband pointing a gun at his head. >> i tried to grab the gun. >> were you able to get it? >> no. i was able to get my hands around his and the gun slipped and it went off. >> though acquitted at her first trial, there's no double jeopardy and prosecutors tried her again. this time she was convicted. >> this is where john bender died. >> "48 hours" hired experts to review the evidence. >> i'm pretty convinced it was an accident. >> the prosecution is wrong. >> but prosecutors still believe she's guilty of murder. next month she'll stand trial for the third time. >> i learned there's nothing i can't survive. >> and susan spencer is now with us. good morning. >> good morning.
8:20 am
so she's out of prison. what's to prevent her from leaving the country? >> they took her passport away. she's requiring to check in every week. >> those two experts we heard you talking to, are they going to play a role? >> the defense has asked them to be in the courtroom as consult consultant consultants. they could do the experiments that show she probably is telling the truth. >> that's tomorrow night 10:00, 9:00 central here on cbs. gravity strikes back. ahead a first-time passenger finds why flyling with the blue angel angels. that's next on "cbs this morning."
