5:31 pm
this is the "cbs evening news." >> mason: and this is our western edition. good evening. i'm anthony mason. we begin with breaking news. another missile launch by north korea. national security correspondent david martin is following developments at the pentagon. david, what do we know? >> reporter: anthony, we know that now for a second time, north korea has fired a missile over japan. they did one late last month. this one is said by japanese officials to have gone about 1,500 miles past japan, which is further than the last test went. now, u.s. intelligence had been expecting a test of either an intercontinental ballistic missile or an intermediate-range missile. we don't know yet which this was. if it was an intercontinental missile, it could have been
5:32 pm
fired at a high enough angle to keep it well short of the united states. if it was an intermediate-range missile, it would have had the range to hit american bases in guam, but it was not fired in that direction. but either way, it seems like north korean missiles flying over an american ally, japan, has become the new normal. >> mason: david martin at the pentagon with another missile launch from north korea. thanks. is there a deal to help dreamers? president trump scrapped the obama-era daca program that protected undocumented immigrants brought here as children from deportation, and he gave congress six months to come up with a replacement. today, we got so many conflicting answers, we needed two correspondents to sort through them. so here are nancy cordes on capitol hill and julianna goldman at the white house, where the republican president
5:33 pm
had dinner last night with the top two democrats in congress. >> reporter: the white house was initially vague about last night's meeting, calling it a constructive working dinner, but as my colleague nancy cordes can tell you, democrats said there was more to it. >> reporter: yes, democrats insist the president signed off on a policy they've been pushing for years. >> we had an agreement to move forward. >> reporter: democratic leaders nancy pelosi and chuck schumer say they left that white house dinner with a framework in hand: legal protections for dreamers, paired with funding for border security, excluding the wall. >> we're not for the wall. we'll never be for the wall. >> reporter: at the white house, press secretary sarah huckabee sanders quickly refuted the democrats' version of events, saying excluding the wall was not agreed to. >> we will build the wall. >> reporter: building a wall on the u.s.-mexico border defined mr. trump's campaign. >> the wall will come later. >> reporter: traveling to
5:34 pm
florida today, he tried to reassure his base he hadn't given up. >> there was no deal. they didn't say they had a deal. >> there's a lot of sympathy for the dreamers. >> reporter: here on the hill, many republicans were supportive, but some conservatives accused the president of selling out. north carolina's mark walker tweeted, "if the deal is as pelosi characterized, it causes more than a pause. more like a screeching halt." they're nervous about the s esident's newfound bipartisanship. even schumer marveled at the detente today in this "hot mic " moment on the senate floor. >> he likes us. he likes me, anyway. >> reporter: house speaker paul ryan reminded reporters republicans still control congress, and write the legislation. have you asked the president to at least check with you before he makes an agreement with democrats? >> first off, there is no agreement. it was a discussion, not an agreement or a negotiation.
5:35 pm
>> reporter: back on "air force one," the president said his party supports him. >> my relationship with the republicans is excellent. many of them agree with what i'm doing. >> reporter: by the time mr. trump spoke to reporters for the fourth time, he was back to criticizing the democrats about the wall. >> if the democrats aren't going to approve it, then we're not going to do what they want. >> mason: so, nancy, what's the bottom line here? if you're a dreamer, should you be breathing easier tonight? >> reporter: well, you should be encouraged by the fact that everyone is talking about this, and leaders on both sides appear to be interested in doing something quickly. the question is how long it's going to take them to draft and agree to the border security side of this package? and, will republican leaders be willing to turn their backs on a small but very vocal group of conservatives who believe that granting these so-called dreamers any kind of legal status, especially citizenship, would amount to amnesty. >> mason: julianna, this is the second time in a week the president has been willing to deal with democrats.
5:36 pm
what's that about? >> reporter: well, this is a president who promised to be a deal-maker, and so far, he's come up short. he's frustrated with republicans, and he wants a win. but, anthony, it's not like he's exactly making nice with democrats here. in addition to his many comments today, the president sent out a campaign email saying that liberals in congress need one more reminder that building the wall is non-negotiable. >> mason: julianna goldman at the white house, nancy cordes at the capitol. thank you, both. the president went to florida today to see for himself the damage done by hurricane irma last weekend, and to talk to some of the victims. here's carter evans. >> reporter: on the tarmac in fort myers, president trump e aised florida governor rick scott for the response to hurricane irma. >> the job that rick has done is being talked about all over. >> reporter: and couldn't resist injecting a little politics. >> what do i know? but i hope this man right here, rick scott, runs for the senate.
5:37 pm
>> reporter: aboard "marine one," the president and first lady got an aerial view of the destruction in naples below. on the ground, they visited a mobile home park that was badly damaged. >> we love the people of florida, and they went through something that, i guess the likes of which we can really say nobody's ever seen before. they've never seen a category like this come in, because it came in really at a 5. all you have to do is look at what happened in the keys. >> reporter: hurricane irma made landfall sunday on cudjoe key as a category 4. later, the president handed out sandwiches and met with supporters. >> he has a couple of questions. go ahead. >> where was obama in the last hurricane? he was playing golf. >> was this a good vote? >> yes. >> he said the best vote of his life. >> reporter: after the president left the airport here at fort myers, he told reporters on "air force one" that he hopes to visit puerto rico, the u.s. virgin islands, and possibly even the florida keys, to see the damage for himself, perhaps as early as next week.
5:38 pm
anthony. >> mason: carter evans. thanks, carter. the hurricane death toll in florida is at least 25. that does not include eight residents of a hollywood nursing home that lost air conditioning. more now from jonathan vigliotti. >> shame on you. shame on you. >> reporter: vendetta craig's mother, 87-year-old edna jefferson, was one of the 158 patients rescued after spending three days in the sweltering heat. what do you want to say to the owner of this facility? >> we are coming for you. we coming for you. this is-- this is unacceptable. you messed with my mom. you messed with my mom. i'm not taking it. >> reporter: now police have launched a criminal investigation. one inspection last year found 29 violations, including patients being given the wrong medications, overflowing trash, and insects in the kitchen. residents complained they were
5:39 pm
hungry and were calling out for food. the facility was ranked "much below average" by the state agency for health care administration, and its owner, jack michel, was fined $15 million in a 2006 health care fraud complaint. yet, the center was allowed to stay open. how could something like this, how could a facility like this still be open? >> look, that's another question for the state agencies that regulate these nurses homes? at what point do you pull the license? at what point is it enough? >> reporter: when the home lost power, police believe the backup generators were still not big enough to cool the space. records show several 911 calls came from the center, starting at 3:30 in the morning, but it was nurse judy fromm, from a hospital across the street, who walked over with colleagues to find out what was happening. >> it was a situation where we knew we had to get those patients evacuated. >> reporter: vendetta craig also wonders why nursing home staff simply did not take patients to the air-conditioned hospital steps away. >> i hope the truth comes out. it's just senseless.
5:40 pm
>> reporter: and we called the nursing home multiple times for comment and have still not heard back. we also visited the owner's home. it was still boarded up for the hurricane. anthony, this evening, 39 people remain hospitalized. >> mason: jonathan vigliotti in hollywood, florida. the florida keys bore the worst of irma. manuel bojorquez now reports on the massive effort to get supplies to those who have lost everything. >> reporter: with the scope of devastation in parts of the keys becoming more clear, the focus is now on relief. >> fire department! >> reporter: monroe county officials say they have checked on all homes in the hardest hit areas and have found no additional victims. >> thank you so much. >> you're welcome. >> reporter: water and food are reaching those who stayed behind, but it could be days before running water, power, and cell service are fully restored. in marathon, word is spreading about harold davis. he never got rid of his landline phone. >> hello, davis'. >> reporter: and is now helping
5:41 pm
neighbors connect with the outside world. you've become a lifeline in a way when it comes to communication. >> a little bit, yeah, yeah, yup. and that helps because it gives you-- it gives you a little more desire to keep pushing forward. it's over four feet. >> reporter: it's also come in handy for him. the home he shares with his wife took on more than four feet of storm surge. he's called fema and helped others start filing claims, too. >> because it's tough. you know. you try to be-- you try to be the man and try to be, you know, strong for your wife and everybody else, and i didn't want to see this. but we'll-- we'll pick up. we'll move on. >> reporter: harold says he doesn't even recognize most of the debris in his backyard because it washed up from houses all the way down the street. conditions are still considered hazardous here, so it could be days before all residents of the keys are allowed back in.
5:42 pm
anthony. >> mason: manuel bojorquez in the keys. wow, manny, thank you. new york city police today released body-cam video that shows officers shooting a man to death in his bedroom. they had gone to check on miguel richards last month after his landlord reported he hadn't seen him in days. the officers repeatedly pleaded with richards to drop a knife. the police say that when richards appeared to aim a gun with a laser pointer at the officers, they opened fire. ( gunfire ) that gun turned out to be a toy. the n.y.p.d. says it released the body-cam video, a first for the department, in the interest of transparency. a student accused of opening fire at a high school south of spokane, washington, had previously posted online videos of himself acting out shootings. in the attack yesterday, one student was killed, three others are in stable condition. mireya villarreal reports from
5:43 pm
rockford, washington. >> while you and him were off playing "halo," i just sat up here planning your murder. >> reporter: this youtube video posted in june of the suspected shooter, caleb sharpe, shows the high school sophomore role playing in a first-person shooting game with toy guns. >> get off that lawnmower, you cheater. >> reporter: a newly-released affidavit says caleb told detectives, he came to school yesterday to "teach everyone a lesson about what happens when you bully others." he told detectives he's been seeing a school counselor for suicidal ideations. the guns belong to sharpe's father. his parents told detectives they found a suicide note written by their son a week ago. sharpe's first shots came from a rifle that jammed up. his second weapon, a handgun, nds used to shoot fellow sophomore sam strahan, who was attempting to intervene. at one point he even said, "i always knew you were going to shoot up the school." sharpe shot strahan in the abdomen and face, killing him. sheriff ozzie knezovich says,
5:44 pm
minutes later the school janitor, joe bowen, stepped in to stop the shooter. has joe told you, why exactly did he step in at this time? he put his life on the line. >> those are rare people. and if you ask him, i'll best he can't tell you. you just do what you've got to do. joe confronted him, ordered him to the ground and then held him there. >> reporter: according to the affidavit, a friend of sharpe's told detectives, caleb "makes improvised explosive devices out of various chemicals and white gas," and offered to show him "how to make these i.e.d.s." does it surprise that you a 15- year-old boy was playing with chemicals for i.e.d.s? >> not at all. this is a situation that plays out in our society way too often. >> reporter: the sheriff wants to charge the alleged shooter as an adult, even though he is only 15 years old. his charges would include premeditated murder, with an arraignment set for later this month. anthony. >> mason: mireya villarreal in rockford, washington, thanks, mireya.

5:48 pm
americans. anna werner is following this. >> reporter: consumers were still posting their outrage on social media, some complaining they tried to freeze their credit after the breach but couldn't, and wanted answers. equifax disclosed that the hackers stole the personal information of millions through a software vulnerability on a web server. the fix should have been an immediate security update, but the software's maker, the apache software foundation, says hackers exploited what it called equifax's failure to install the security updates in a timely manner. >> this was an urgent update. >> reporter: which cyber- security company executive michael landoway says is bad enough. at the fact that there was an unpatched server for a matter of months, just opened the door to the hackers. >> reporter: but landoway says among experts right now the bigger question is, once the hackers got in, was the consumer data protected through encryption or not? >> if it was unencrypted,
