hi, everyone. i'm beth troutman. it's a brand new week and that means a brand new edition of "right this minute,"he best videos and stories behind them and it all starts right now. when shots ring out in seattle a news photographer heads straight into a terrifying scene. >> this guy is a true professional. >> hear what it's like to be smack in the action. >> yeah. it was pretty wild. >> toby keith surprises a fan by saluting her soldier husband. >> what's his name? >> keith. >> see why the musical tribute wasn't the big surprise. a little girl with autism starts doing ballet moves for her parents. >> and then one day it occurred to them, wait a minute. >> those are no ordinary moves. we've got the astounding story.

plus, cottonmouth versus rattlesnake see who gets a brutal eat down and learn the secrets to slo mo smashesi from the master. >> i'm gallagher and you're watching "right this minute." i have a story for you our viewers in seattle have been following. i wanted to share it with everybody else. a photo journalist from kiro tv was on assignment, covering a court case at the federal court house when he heard shots fired. the photographer's name is eric alexander. this guy is a true professional. because once he heard that gun go off, he didn't run for cover. he didn't run away from the gunfire. he ran toward it. you see a man, a masked man,

almost like he's wearing a rubber halloween mask, on the ground. that guy just moments before according to reports had robbed express jewelers and was running out, firing his gun at a security guard that was in pursuit. as eric alexander came up to the scene with his camera, you see just everyday people in seattle, they detained him. >> tackle him. >> back up, man we had to know more about this story and more about this photo journalist eric al her, right this minute via skype we have eric. walk us through exactly what's going on in this video? >> i looked across the street and i saw a couple guys fighting, but then i saw the gun and heard the gun, go down on the sidewalk. the guards that you saw, they were the security guards from the federal courthouse. everybody on that pile, just regular people. the guy with the hat and long hair, he sells homeless newspaper. why would this guy get involved, risk everything when had he

probably doesn't have much, to stop some guy from hurting other people. it was amazing. >> most people hear gunshots and go the other direction. did you ever think twice? >> no, i didn't. my brother saw the footage and on-line and said, what were you doing? >> one moment says sounds like you got a phone call. >> got to go, bye. >> was that your assignment desk, everything settled down and i said i need a crew down here. they said there's two on the way. i said okay. >> what did your bosses say? >> there was a pause when i got back. >> you're a brave soul do what you were did. >> those folks on the pile that were still struggling with the guy who had the gun, they're the ones that remind you. gee check out this footage from

combat in afghanistan. these are a group of british soldiers and look at what happens. >> [ bleep ] out. >> that was just a random rpg that was fired at them by the enemy while they had just finished a fire fight. most amazing thing about this video isn't necessarily the rpg itself but the reaction. >> give us a smile. give us a smile. [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. >> these guys after a huge fire fight are running on pure adrenali adrenaline. i'm sure they don't know what's coming out of their mouth. >> when the rpg doesn't hit you, you do laugh, smile, celebrate. this is a moment where the enemy didn't hit their target and yeah! >> laugh at the enemy's crappy aim. >> instead of laughing i would be going no throughout this entire video, terrified even after, that before that, during that, the whole time stew these

guys are amazing. they are insanely brave and their day-to-day routine and they're still alive after that rpg went off. >> the guy goes to the other guy, smile for the camera. >> i would be going -- >> [ bleep ]. >> no! the only thing good from this video is that the suspects turned themselves in. this happened in pensacola, florida. these two people, the woman, age 20, the guy, 17 years old, get a taxi ride. >> $5. >> they get out. the cab driver tells police the young man pointed a gun at her and told her to get out of the car. >> get out of car. >> she got carjacked in her taxicab. >> after she gave them a ride too, that's the worst. >> i don't have no money. i just started. >> the cabbie said the girl said shoot her, shoot her multiple times. he didn't. he told her to get in the trunk.

>> no. >> he pulled her hair, orders her to get in the trunk. she's in the trunk and then he and the woman get back into the taxi to try to drive it away. but they can't. they don't know how it to operate it. >> what do they think they're going to get from a taxicab? it's not like you can take a tacky cab and drive it as your own car. they don't know how to drive yet. >> they're old enough to know how to drive. there must have been something operational about the taxi they couldn't get it into drive and go. they start rifling through there, take money and other items. >> go, go. >> they switch places. neither can get the car started and then they fled on foot. the taxi driver got out and asked for help nearby. wo days later denarius mason turned himself in as well. ladies, something interesting went down at a recent toby keith concert in houston, texas.

i have to say, i have a feeling there wasn't a dry eye in the house after this. you see toby on stage. eventually he asks -- >> anybody here tonight got a soldier or marine overseas that you love? >> all of a sudden on the screen you see this girl here in a tan dress. all her friends are pointing to her. before you know it, she's up on stage with toby keith. >> where's your husband at tonight? >> afghanistan. >> oh. >> she says her husband, major pete cruise, is serving currently in afghanistan. and toby is about to perform his song "american soldier". >> do this song for major pete cruise tonight. >> it's great song. emotional song by itself and you add this. >> we're just getting started. >> oh, gosh. >> toby starts singing and she's singing and crying at all once. >> thinking of her husband in afghanistan. >> eventually they hug and the song is over. >> this is a beautiful -- >> her husband is out saving the world. >> the planet. >> hold your horses.

>> there's more? >> what? >> oh! >> is that her husband? >> her husband, major pete cruise, was there the whole time. >> she didn't know he was coming in tonight. >> did you see that kiss? oh. >> of course, this is another entry from the welcome home blog. if you don't get chills watching this right now, you might be dead. >> i love it. this is like the greatest story ever. >> see what i mean. not a dry eye, even in here. i would imagine these guys have probably done this all over town. >> and done it in 80 seconds. see how fast the pros ste s stee than a million next. the guy's first sky dive, something you'll really appreciate when you see the landing. >> land on that runway. >> do the soup

the three men that broke into a jewelry store in the uk and they stole 100 watches that police estimate are worth about $1.6 million. >> good luck. these guys are really covered up. they have masks on, gloves on, you can't tell the chore of their skin. you can't tell how build they are build wise because they have bulky suits on. >> police are saying they used crowbars and axes to break into the display cases and they're wearing high visibility suits which makes it really difficult to identify them. they took the time to selectively choose which watches they were going to take, but get this, they were gone in 80 seconds. >> that's another sign that they are professionals, that they know jewelry well enough to know the value of each watch, which watches to take, the ones that will get them the most money. >> to do it so quickly as well and in front of other shoppers because this was during business hours. >> this was when the store was open? >> au hey.

>> they poured gas on it when i pulled my hammer back and then just lit it. that was all there was to it. and it was dangerous. i was in a room of plastic. how stupid. >> all the years of swinging this big heavy mallet around, did you ever pull a shoulder muscle? >> yeah. i hurt right now. i did 4,000 shows. i'm 66 years old. >> so are you going to retire ever or are you just going to smash watermelons? >> i've retired since my heart attack in march. if people want to see me smash they have to check out this video. i'm mostly working on my motorcycle gang. can you see my patch on my hat. >> says the undecided. >> we're people that can't figure out which one of these two clowns we want to vote for. we're undecided. these are our two presidential candidates fighting all the time and i'm just trying to keep them apart. they're nuts. >> someone's got to play mediator. might as well be gallagher.
