years before he qualified, he'd been receiving therapy. on his mind suicide. >> treatment of a psychotherapist because of what is documented as being suicidal. >> reporter: he'd seen doctors just before the crash and in recent years, said the prosecutor. but there was no record of any more suicidal tendencies or aggression. evidence from his apartment show he tried to hide his medical condition from the airline. investigators are now examining reports that condition was bipolar disorder, or manic depression. his employers at lufthansa now face more questions. did they know ability his suicidal thoughts? if they did, why did they believe they were in the past. this is what his boss said last week. he was 100% fit to fly, he says without any restrictions. the pain of the bereaved families is already immense. an apparent leak of

the cockpit voice recording to a german tabloid newspaper suggests that minutes after the plane begins to descend, the captain locked out of the cockpit, bangs on the door yelling "for god sake open the door." passengers begin screaming. 10:37 and the plane has lost half its altitude. the captain yells, open the damn door." 10:40, more screams and a loud scraping sound like a wing hitting the mountain. then silence. a seventh day of searching, but no rest here. they're building a fast road to a crash site that still holds secrets. they've still not found the flight data recorder. the airline said today it might be damaged. they're still finding human remains. and they've extracted the dna of around 80 victims. there is so much more to find not just from the site but from the medical records and mental history of a troubled man who became a mass

murderer. and there is now pressure in germany to look again at exactly what pilots can keep confidential their right to privacy about their medical and mental history against the public's right to know if lives could be endangered. new guidelines may well physicalfollow in germany, but this is a hot issue for the airline industry worldwide. lester. >> bill neely tonight, thank you. now to a bizarre and deadly incident today at head kwartders of the national security agency. guards opened fire at an suv as it came rushing towards the front gates at ft. meade, maryland. our pentagon correspondent jim miklaszewski takes us through moment by moment. >> r first di calls sounded as if the agency was under attack. >> reported gunshot wounds. possible traumatic arrest. >> reporter: helicopter video revealed a chaotic

scene and a white sheet covering a body. shortly after 9:00 a.m. two men dressed in womens clothing and wearing womens wigs attempted to drive the suv into the nsa. ignoring police warnings they drove toward a security gate. nsa police raised barriers to block the entrance. the vehicle turned and raced toward a police vehicle blocking the road. police officers opened fire on the fast approaching suv, which then crashed into the police vehicle. one suspect was killed the other remains in critical condition. a handgun and cocaine were found in their vehicle. one police officer suffered minor injuries. any attack on the nsa puts everyone on high alert. it's america's top spy agency. eavesdropping on potential enemies around the world. tonight, the fbi reports that two suspects had no apparent plans to attack the nsa. instead, the two had reportedly stolen the suv from a friend for a joyride with a violent end. jim miklaszewski nbc

news the pentagon. there is new fallout tonight over a law signed by the governor of indiana that critics say is worded in such a way that allows businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians lesbians. suppor argue not the case at all. say it's about protecting religious freedom. in the meantime some of those against it are prepared to put their money where their mouth is. nbc's gabe gutierrez has details. >> reporter: after relentless backlash today indiana republicans rushed to defend the state's new religious freedom restoration act. doesn't this law allow businesses to deny services based on religious beliefs? >> no it does not. >> reporter: the house speaker says lawmakers are trying to add language to clarify the law's intent. >> it is to set a standard a high standard of when government attempts to impact negatively or burden someone's religious liberty. >> reporter: democrats want to repeal the law. critics say it's anti-gay. 19 other states have

similar laws, but indiana is different in part because there's no statewide non-discrimination law here protecting sexual orientation. >> the controversy here is not about the text of this law. the controversy is about the context in which this law has been enacted. it's not a coincidence that in the last several months same-sex marriage has become legal in the state of indiana. >> reporter: the firestorm has spread on social media. late tonight connecticut became the first state to ban state-funded travel to indiana by its employees. indiana's based angie's list put its $40 million expansion plans on hold. >> this is devastating to companies like us. >> reporter: in "the washington post," apple's openly gay ceo tim cook called the law dangerous. >> it's a great concern. >> reporter: the president of the ncaa wants the law to be clarified ahead of the final four here this weekend. >> this bill is fundamentally at odds with some of the core principles of higher education and of intercollegiate

athletics. so it's very disappointing. >> reporter: what was once a political fight over a state law has now exploded into a battle between religious freedom and gay rights. some small businesses are putting up signs in their windows saying this business serves everyone. meanwhile, lawmakers here hope to clarify the language in this law by the end of the week. but more protesters are expected at the city council meeting tonight. lester. >> all right, gabe thank you. an emotional day in the trial of the alleged boston marathon bomber. the prosecution rested its case concluding with some of its most heart wrenching evidence to date before the defense began making its case. nbc's justice correspondent pete williams was in the courtroom. >> reporter: the government ended its case on the human toll of the second marathon bomb blast. an emotional finish on the youngest bombing victim 8-year-old martin richard. several jurors wept as the medical examiner explained how the bomb ripped through his 69-pound body. he'd been watching the race with his family leaning on the railing along the marathon

route. the fbi says dzhokhar tsarnaev placed a pressure cooker bomb loaded with nails and bbs just a few feet away from where martin richard was standing. the medical examiner said the blast drove six nails, 20 bbs and other pieces of the bomb into the boy's body. his mother and father were in court as photos of their son's fatal injuries were shown to the jury. earlier, a doctor detailed how the same blast killed chinese graduate studentling zhilu with one piece of the bomb driven clear through her body. and the fbi gave new details of dzhokhar tsarnaev's movements that day. referring to surveillance video that shows him seen here at the top of the screen walking away from the bomb he planted a mere ten seconds before it went off. still unclear is whether tsarnaev himself will testify in his own defense. many legal experts say that's doubtful. too risky. putting the focus of the entire defense on his courtroom demeanor. >> a guy like tsarnaev he gets on the stand, if he

smirks looks the wrong way, it's done. >> reporter: defense lawyers say all the major steps in preparing for the bombing, including buying components, were taken care of by his older brother tamerlan. it appears the defense will only take a few days. so the jury could start deliberating later this week. if the verdict is guilty as it almost certainly would be then the same jury will sit through a second trial on the penalty. life without parole or death, lester. >> pete williams in boston, thank you. there's a reason we call them the bravest. as we witnessed this weekend in fresno california frightening moment caught on tape. a firefighter clinging to life after taking a horrific fall on the job responding to a house fire he was walking on the roof when it gave way plunging him into the inferno below. more now from our national correspondent miguel almaguer. >> reporter: it began as a routine garage fire threatening to explode out of control. fresno fire captain pete durn a 25-year

out. even if they get a deal secretary kerry then has to sell it to a really skeptical congress. the talks stretched well into the night tonight. they will start again possibly for the last time at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow lester. >> all right, andrea mitchell in luasanne. ann curry is there with a tough situation facing iranian negotiators having to convince hardliners in that country to go along with any deal. >> reporter: lester good evening. on this critical night in these talks with the iranian negotiators say they really need to say yesterday e yes to a deal is the ability to sell it back home. as the u.s. iran has conservatives who don't trust the other side. and they are ready to pounce if they believe negotiators give up too much. so the biggest price of the iranians is to be able to announce some relief from crippling sanctions and most importantly u.n. sanctions, as they see it some immediate relief from u.n. sanctions would mean that for the first time in more than 30 years iran would no longer be an

outlier in the international community, lester. ann curry, thanks. a lot more news still ahead tonight including this one you may be talking about over the dinner table tonight or wherever you're watching. surprising new findings about the balancing act so many parents struggle with every day. what is the amount of time you spend with your kids mean for their future success as adults? also a big change in late-night. who is the young comedian just named to ta our eyes they have a 200-degree range of sight. which is good for me... hey! ...and bad for the barkley twins. take care of your eyes with centrum silver women. multivitamins with 60% more vitamin d. our brains can control over 600 muscles at the same time. here's what 90 of them can do. ♪ (plays guitar) ♪ take care of your brain with centrum silver women. multivitamins for the most important parts of you.
