>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the "overnight news." i'm tony dokoupil. we begin with another day of listening and learning after the deadliest high school shooting in u.s. history. president trump held the second of three listening sessions at the white house yesterday. he met with state and local officials including the mayor of parkland, florida, the site of last week's massacre that left 17 people dead. as he listened, the president also offered solutions to stop school shooters, including the idea of arming teachers. major garrett is at the white house. >> reporter: listening sessions on two consecutive days here at the white house, and the president's done plenty of

talking on his own, saying it is imperative that america arm school teachers and other school personnel, combating gun violence with concealed weapons and teachers as skilled in arithmetic and grammar as they are in marksmanship. >> and i'm the biggest believer of the second amendment that there is. okay? i am the biggest. >> reporter: while president trump says he's listening to new ideas about school safety, he emphasized arming teachers and other school personnel, an idea backed by the national rifle association. >> i want certain highly adept people, people that understand weaponry, guns. if they really have that aptitude. because not everybody has an aptitude for a gun. but to have the aptitude, i think a concealed permit for having teachers and letting people know that there are people in the building with a gun -- >> reporter: the president also endorsed financial incentives for teachers with handguns. >> give them a little bit of a bonus. frankly, they'd feel more comfortable having the gun anyway but you give them a little bit of a bonus. >> reporter: a florida education commissioner suggested more

frequent active shooter drills in schools. >> i think that's a very negative thing to be talking about, to be honest with you. >> i -- >> i don't like it. i'd much rather have a hardened school. i don't like it. >> reporter: at an annual gathering of conservative activists, nra ceo wayne lapierre echoed the president. >> it should not be easier for a madman to shoot up a school than a bank or a jewelry store or some hollywood gala. schools must be the most hardened targets in this country. >> reporter: lapierre also lashed out at democrats, the media, and law enforcement for their response to the parkland >> as usual, the opportunists wasted not one second to exploit tragedy for political gain. the elites don't care not one whit about america's school system and school children. >> reporter: mr. trump consulted with the nra leadership after last week's shooting and agreed

not to endorse an assault weapons ban or universal background checks for gun purchases. but he did break with the nra in calling for an age limit, 21 years old, to buy a semi-automatic weapon. today he said the nra would change its mind. >> we're talking about common sense.. and the nra will -- will back it. >> reporter: conservative activist david schiff from texas said he was concerned abth regulations. >> because it's a slippery slope. and i firmly believe a, it'sndmt assures that we have a first amendment. a 17-year-old girl is being called a hero for stopping a possible schoosh vermont. she reported a friend who was allegedly planning to attack his former high school. here's meg oliver. >> i texted him saying the

school just got shot up. and he answered, "that's fantastic. i 100% support it." she met 18-year-old jack sawyer while at a treatment center in maine for troubled teens. when you were at the trent?e wa detail and very kind. >> reporter: mcdevit says she stayed in touch with sawyer after they left the facility but last week their friendship took a turn. according to a vermont state over facebook messenger saying, "just a few days ago i was still plotting on shooting up my old high school." the next day he wrote, "it's been the plan for two years." and on february 14th he allegedly praised the florida school shooting writing, "it's " >> i found them disturbing and knew i had to contact somebody in vermo it. florida shooting mcdevitt met resource officer evan trout, who then contacted authorities in vermont. >> people are calling you a hero as well. >> i followed through with it, and that'se de about initely is

one who did the most of it. affidavit, when police interviewed sawyer he admitted he was planning a shooting at fair haven union high school and forepartly inspired by police say when they searched ammunition, books on columbine, a gas mask, a video recorder, and a journal detailing his plan titled "the journal of an active shoote usen ar-15, a handgun, and his shotgun to carry out the attack. mcdevitt says it wasn't easy to report sawyer but she is glad she did. >> what's your message to other students if they hear of something like this or they see a text message like this? >> it's not a matter of friendship if it's abo hand. you need to do what you need to do. new car technology is showing promise in preventing backup crashes, and c

many vehicles come with rearview cameras these days. now car makers are adding more sensors and in some cases automatic brakes. here's kris van cleave. sudden. >> reporter: michael dahlen will never forget the day his daughter died. in 2010 a neighb 2-year-old abigail was behind the car. i climb under a car and pick up her body. it was a hard day. >> reporter: starting in may all new cars in the u.s. will be required to have a rearview camera. some automakers are going further, adding backup warning sensors and now reverse automatic braking. for the first time the insurance institute for highway safety tested the combination of technologies. the 2017 subaru outback and cadillac xt-5 suv earned superior ratings. four other vehicles scored an advanced rating for generally avoiding a collision or substantially reducing the vehicle's speed. but there's some room to improve.

this car did not stop before a driver backed into a dummy car parked at an angle. david zuby is the institute's chief research officer. >> the rear auto brake, the sensors, the cameras are going to prevent a lot of property damage crashes and we hope they're also going to prevent some crashes involving people. >> reporter: dahlen hopes the technology will one day mean no other parent has to lose a child like he did. >> i still have -- you know, i still have nightmares. i still have flashbacks. and i wish that -- i don't want anybody to go through it. >> reporter: right now the backup braking systems are designed at preventing accidents involving obstacles that do damage like this. but carmakers are working on adapting it so it can also protect pedestrians passing by the cameras. now, front auto braking, that's supposed to become standard in most cars by 2022, but when it comes to the backup braking there is no plan to make it standard. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

this is th the fbi is asking for the public's help tove mysterious murder of a federal prosecutor more than 16 years ago. wales was shot and killed in his washington state home in investigators believe there are people who know critical information that could help crack the case. the reward money has been increased to more than $1.5 million. if wales was targeted because of his job, he would be the first

and only u.s. attorney killed in the line of duty. the case has never gone cold, and the reward money now up to $1.5 million may be a sign that investigators believe they're getting closer to the truth. on a chilly october night in 2001 tom wales was home sitting in his basement office when a gunman shot multiple rounds through the window. wales was an 18-year veteran of the u.s. attorney's office in seattle. >> the killer was familiar with tom's property and his work habits. >> reporter: the shooter was careful to avoid setting off floodlights attached to the yard's motion detectors, leading investigators to believe it was a carefully planned execution. more than 16 years later the killer is still at large, and the case was recently the subject of a five-part podcast. >> they say it was the perfect murder. but i'm not buying it. >> reporter: investigators aren't buying it either. they came together wednesday in a seattle conference room named for the fallen u.s. attorney, asking the public to help solve the case. >> we have a lot of investigative theories right

now. we have several we're very fond of, and we need more information. >> i think they have people identified that they think are the perpetrators. >> reporter: john mckay took over as the u.s. attorney in seattle shortly after wales was killed. >> they're waiting for someone in their circles to come forward and give them maybe the last couple piece that's will push them over the finish line. >> reporter: the reward for information in the case has been raised from up to 1 million to more than $1.5 million after previous leads failed. early on investigators identified a suspect, a commercial airline pilot who denied any involvement and was never charged. through bullet casings they say they identified the weapon but they apparently never found it. wales's daughter suggests her father's duties as a prosecutor might have played a role in his murder. >> if a federal prosecutor can be brutally murdered for carrying out his prosecutorial duties, the law enforcement and judicial processes that keep all of us safe are fundamentally compromised.

>> and an indication of how committed wales's former colleagues are in solving this case, they're among those who opened their wallets to increase the reward by more than a half million dollars. we'll be right back.

make every day valentine's day with k-y yours and mine. blue for him. purple for her. two sensations. one great way to discover new feelings together. actor willem dafoe is one of the most recognized faces and voices in hollywood. the 62-year-old is best known for playing movie villains. but next month he's up for of role. martha teichner caught up with him in a story fsu >> ready?

>> yes. >> oh, good. >> reporter: the big open smile. expect sitting down with wm who for mtv's best movie villain award. >>e in "spider-man." he's even a little sinister as an animated fish in "finding nemo." >> tonight we give the kid a proper reception. >> reporter: famous as he is for looking and sounding menacing. >> those are dummies. >> reporter: in person he's not scary at all. >> a lot of the villains i play with a lot of love and a lot of pleasure. and you also play them as heroes. you know, you don't judge them. >> you can't just not let me have gas. what gives you the authority? > the authority? my job title. manager. >> reporter: bobby, the character dafoe plays in "the

florida project," is a kind of hero. >> i got you! >> reporter: he's the manager of a motel on the seedy outskirts of orlando that's home to struggling families always on the edge. >> i'm kind of in the movie connective tissue. >> new job? >> yeah. >> if you're working, who's looking after molly? >> you're not my father. >> i don't want to be your father. >> you can't treat me like this. >> he's going around putting out fires because all these people have pretty challenging lives and there's lots of problems at this budgets motel and i've got to sort things out. >> reporter: the story is set in a place surrounded by kitschy symbols of phony fantasy. where the thing that's real is childhood innocence.

filmmaker shawn baker made "the florida project" on a minuscule budget. so when willem dafoe sought him out to play bobby, it wasn't for the money. so what was the fascination about this particular movie for you? >> the fact that basically he was making it with a mixed cast of professionals and new performers and children and non-performers filming in an actual place, telling a story that's not usually told of an underclass, of a world that i didn't really know. >> you got your power back. and use your tvs, vcrs, ac, what have you. >> reporter: his understated performance has earned him an oscar nomination for best supporting actor. his third. compare that to his nomination in 2001 for "shadow of the vampire."

or to his 1987 nomination for "platoon." there's no better way to gauge dafoe's range as an actor. at 62 he's always working. >> i'm very high-minded about what i do. i'm very serious about what i do. and i think it can be very important. when i was a young actor everybody used to always say eh, it's not brain surgery. well, it is a little bit because you can change how people think. you can change how you think by performing. >> reporter: he says he remembers his life by the movies he's made. more than 100. four released last year alone. >> heaven is yours. >> reporter: an unimaginable career trajectory for the kid from appleton, wisconsin. the son of a surgeon and a nurse, william dafoe was the second youngest of eight children. willem was a nickname that stuck. >> he is up at night.

>> mm-hmm. >> he is writing two books. >> mm-hmm. >> reporter: here he is in a college theater production at the university of wisconsin milwaukee. >> milwaukee county. >> reporter: what made you know you needed to come from wisconsin to new york? >> because that was mecca. >> reporter: new york, not hollywood. in 1977 at the age of 22 he found himself living in the east village. >> near here? >> tompkins square park. yeah. it was a rough neighborhood. >> reporter: but a good place at a good time to shape the kind of actor he would become. >> when you started out as an actor here, what were your dreams? >> my dream was to get through next week and to be around these people that i thought were really fascinating and stimulated me. and initially that was this downtown scene and specifically these people working at the wooster group. i mean, it was a new kind of

work. it wasn't a commercial work. it was a work that was personal and it was a work that pushed forms. >> reporter: the wooster group was experimental theater at its most experimental. 27 years with the company taught dafoe a very physical kind of acting. >> i have a lot of faith in the wisdom of the body. you know, i feel like the body doesn't lie. >> you said that you sometimes feel that your acting is -- that you're more like a dancer. >> right. i think i express myself best through my body. i forget myself. >> they're angels. >> reporter: and your face. the way you use your face. >> i don't use my face. my face uses me. really. >> i have gaps in my teeth. >> i think my face is expressive. t >> it just happens. >> and it's really no problem to get rid of chocolate peanuts. suck them.

>> reporter: only a confident character actor would dare engage in such on-screen silliness. a daster! >> reporter: yes, willem dafoe. eath of marina abramovich." he picks his projects based on whether he feels challenged. the production was directed by his wife, italian actress and filmmaker jada colagrande. they l dafoe's son jack from a previous relationship is a lawyer. spend any time at all with willem dafoe and you understand that he likes to disappear into his roles and his life. >> i like hollywood fine. but i dot t's because?

>> that's because i love new york. like being in california when i'm there because i'm usuall the weather's nice and all that. but i feel like i die a little.. i like being out. you know, it's pretty heavy being an actor in los angeles where here it's much easier to get lost. please welcome willem dafoe. >> reporter: so for this consummate shape shifter to emerge and play the hollywood game in the run-up to the oscars speaks not so much to his ambition as it does to his generosity. i nominated. and i'm not blase about it at all. i'm very happy. and since the movie wasn't nominated i'm really proud to represent the movie. >> you're the flag bearer essentially. >> i'm the flag bearer and i'm happy to do that because i like this movie very much. >> no harm no foul. no foul.

there's a joke in

there's a big competition happening in south korea, and it's not the winter games. the cosmetic industry is booming and companies are wrestling for control of a very different kind of market. men. holly williams is in seoul. >> reporter: traditional ideas of masculinity in south korea emphasize strength and stoicism, embodied by these guards at the old royal palace. but heny park is part of a new generation. he d't without at least six products. including bb cream, a type of light foundation. >> it actually cop conceals my like sun spots on my face. >> reporter: he shells out $2,000 a year on beauty products, he told us. partly because of prssure from his girlfriend.

sales of cosmetic product in south korea now top $7 billion a year, and south korean men are reportedly spending more per capita on cosmetics than any other nation. influenced by well-groomed korean celebrities and encouraged by internet tutorials and advertisements that target men the same way they've always targeted women, suggesting an expensive cream will somehow make them more desirable. this one features psy. you might remember him from his hit "gangnam style," which poked fun at image-conscious south koreans. image is so important to jong kim yun, who's a surgeon, that he gets botox injections every six months to give his jawline more definition. "the most important thing is that i cure people," he told us, "but i don't want to repel my patients." south korean society is hyper-competitive.

and for some keeping up with the kims means going under the knife. at this clinic they say the most popular procedures for men are eye enlargement, nose augmentation, and contouring to make their faces look narrower. but not everyone here is pursuing outward perfection. kei jun kwan is an 86-year-old buddhist monk and told us he's never moisturized in his life. everyone has a bit of vanity, he told us, but what's inside is more important. holly williams, cbs news, seoul.
