ben tracy shows us the aurora borealis as we've never seen it before. >> it's so powerful it's beyond your imagination. imagination. captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: good evening. we learned something new today about one of the most heinous crimes in american history-- the fatal shooting of 20 first graders and six adults at sandy hook elementary school. newtown, connecticut, released audio recordings of some of the 911 calls and what struck us as we heard them is that while the gunman was doing what no one could have imagined, police dispatchers and others were doing all anyone could have hoped for to try to save lives. here's jim axelrod with the story that the tapes tell. >> reporter: from the moment the shooter fired his way through the front door the courage and professionalism of those on both ends of the emergency calls are unmistakable. school secretary barbara hallstead made the first call at 9:35:39. 9:35 >> reporter: 34 seconds later, a custodian named rick thorne made the second call to 911. custodian ed rick made all

we heard from the "aurora australis" early hours of the this morning, around 2 o'clock. it was making good progress. we have been keeping in regular contact. i was at the bridge. it's somewhere around 80 nautical miles, making good progress - four to five knots. and we suggested based on our observations yesterday the ship may have been better to come in from the east or south-east. there's a real possibility that the vessel may not reach us. it looks like from the latest information that not only do we have bad winds, but it's a break-out of ice from the glacier where we are working. some is old. hence why it's so thick. yes, we have enough food and water. everyone is very warm. we have plenty of fuel on board. we have shy of two weeks worth of fresh food. after that if it gets desperate we have weeks and weeks of dehydrated food in package. i'll be a little worried about mar article at that point. >> earlier we spoke to lisa martin with the australian maritime safety authority, which is leading the rescue efforts. >> the "aurora australis" is around 20 nautical miles e

sometimes you're paid late or not at all. >> reporter: green auroras are the most common.ust six to ten times each decade. this is one of parkhurst's favorite shots. >> the entire sky was red prior to this, and it looked like you were on mars. it never gets old. every show's like a fingerprint. you're experiencing that moment, and it's over. >> reporter: and then he waits until the next time nature's nightlight returns. ben tracy, cbs news, anchorage, alaska. >>> and that is the "cbs morning news" for this thursday. thanks for watching. i'm anne-marie green. have a great day. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> your realtime captioner is mrs. linda m. macdonald >>> good morning, it's thursday, december 5. i'm michelle griego. >> if you only knew what goes on prior, it's amazing, folks. >> hi, everyone. i'm frank mallicoat. it is nearly 4:30.

when you talk about this happening in colorado, keep in mind just as we were talking about the auroraoter and best not to remember him by name and talking about the columbine shooters and best to not remember them by name, as they became familiar to us, they became larger than life to alienated young people in colorado who could relate to them and could relate to the aurora shooter being thought of as brilliant in the same way this shooter is described as brilliant and hearing somebody sympathetic, he was the best person i knew, obviously he wasn't the best person you knew. i think the appropriate response is that the behavior is disgusting and the community should respond in a way that's disgusted in order to be part of a systemic solution. when we're talking about people perfectly unremarkable who are doing this, then we have to recognize this is only going to be eliminated from the ground up. you as a parent look at your child, could this possibly ever happen to me. what we already know is there was a confrontation between the intended victim, which is how it always starts, the sho

the ice also stopped the "aurora" which is 17 miles away.rlier today, passengers thought a way out was forming. >> that ice is definitely cracking down there. is it enough to get us out? >> i hope so. >> reporter: but the ice quickly closed again. the 74 scientists, crews, and tourists on board have weathered the delay in warm comfort. there's enough food to last for weeks. passengers have ventured on to the ice to continue their research. >> we're just keeping ourselves busy in the meantime, working to keep morale up. >> reporter: a u.s. coast guard ice breaker "the polar star" is also in the area but it would take 12 days for it to reach the stranded ship. maurice, the month-long expedition was scheduled to be completed by the end of the week. >> dubois: not over yet. >> reporter: not yet. >> dubois: don, thank you. now to another extreme. in el salvador, a volcano that had been dormant for 37 years erupted yesterday and today it continued sending ash three miles into the sky. 1,600 people had to be evacuated to emergency shelters. dozens

why did aurora happen? and, of course, there is no one simple answer, is there? there are a whole variety of answers, and oftentimes it depends on who you're talking to, and what their particular position is on everything from mental health issues to gun rights, to what have you. but i'll just tell you, it's sickening. and as i was sitting here preparing to go on the air and listening to our kusa coverage, the station in denver, i was getting just choked up. because this -- you know, if this weren't happening where my kids go to school right now in this area, metro washington, d.c., there's no school that is closer to my heart than this one and i was getting choked up watching this. in addition to what i told you about how the active shooter response team from the arapaho county sheriff's department has dramatically changed their approach the last 14 years ago. i was having breakfast with the colorado bureau of investigation, and his assistant director. these people are still close to me. and they were talking about how the entire approach has changed. littleton

>> hi, the "aurora australis" is around 20 nautical miles east of the russian ship. it's making way, but slowly, due to the ice and the weather conditions, there are snow showers at the moment and there's poor visibility, >> do we expect the rescue ship to make it to the russian ship? >> it's uncertain. it's very complex situation and incident that we are dealing with, due to the area and the train and that sort of thing. at this stage we are waiting and seeing, seeing how it progresses with the weather conditions, and with the ice conditions as well. >> what happens next, if the rescuers cannot reach them by boat. what is the plan next? >> the next plan is to use the helicopter on the chinese vessel, which the rescue coordination centre in australia tasked to stay in the area because of the helicopter. >> and actually evacuate the ship and leave the ship behind. . >> at this stage we are aware that some of the russian crew will stay with the vessel, but the expedition passengers will be taken off by helicopter if that's the plan we go to. >> lisa, if you can't updat

joining us now is rhonda field, colorado state representative, representing parts of aurora, where, of course, 12 people were killed in a movie theater last year. her son was gunned down in june 2005 before he was set to testify as a key witness in the murder trial of his best friend. representative field sponsored three gun reform bills that passed the colorado legislature this year. representative fields, thank you very much for being with us tonight. i really appreciate your time. >> thank you, rachel, for having me. it's an honor. >> i'm trying to sort of take the temperature of this debate as a country in terms of understanding not just what's happened in terms of policy but who's winning the argument a year after newtown. what do you think about that writ large for the country? and what do you think colorado's experience should tell the rest of the country? >> you know, colorado is on the right track, and we're doing the right thing to keep our community and our neighborhoods safe. we passed gun legislation that i think that's common sense, it's very reasonable. and to have our s

she has been spared the prospect of a jail determine for refusing to testify in the aurora shootings. >>> jana winter refused to testify in the aurora shooting cases and she was protected in court about not testifying. what was it like, jana, and what has it been like facing the prospect of going to jail? >> it has not been fun. i would not wish that on anybody. i was never going to girlfriend up my sources so jail was really a likely threat. >> you never thought to your sell, well, i may have to do this. >> no, never. >> explain to people why that has been so important to you. >> confidential sources are so crucial to news gathering in this country. this is why we know things that are not just press releases put out by the government. the fact that albany agreed, it is so important g i make a promise to say i will not publish this information unless i keep your name out of it, i will not change my mind. i said i will keep my sources secret and that is it. end of story. or how would we know anything? >> how did this ordeal affect you, but, affect your job? were other sources reluctant

ago at the aurora shooting. people saying, i can't believe this has happened again. the community is deaf stated. >> what sort of support do they need right now? >> well, they need one another. so the parents, the children, the staff, the faculty, they really need to lean on one-- a traumatic event like this. >> you know obviously this brings up other shootings not just in colorado but all across the country. we're at the anniversary of newtown, connecticut where i live. and i know the impact that it had on the state of connecticut at that time. it brings back memories for parents and kids. do you have any advice o that ce advice of getting back into a going to protect you. you are reassure them. especially young children if they're aware of the news, might have nightmares, so again we're reassuring kids, letting them get that extra hug, but let them take the lead in the pace of what they want to discuss. >> you spent some time out in colorado so can you imagine when the aurora theater when that tragedy happened last summer. in my class of about 25 students i asked t

it happened within 17 miles of last summer's aurora theater shooting. the gunman today took his own life. >> police say at 12:33, a student entered arapahoe high school carrying a shotgun. >> the gunman came into the school and immediately asked for the location of a very specific teacher and he named that teacher by name. when the teacher heard that this individual was asking for him, the teacher exited the school immediately. >> that, say police, may have confused the gunman and bought time for law enforcement. but shots were fired. a student, identified as a 15- year-old girl, was critically wounded. >> at first, we were all like, what was that? every student was really confused and then like we heard two more shots. >> a second student received minor injuries, then with police on the way, the gunman turned his weapon on himself. >> our initial investigation is causing us to believe that this shooting was the result of revenge on the part of the shooter because of a confrontation or a disagreement between the shooter and the teachesser. >> the shooti

>> i would say what aurora said is correct.here's far less work for the performers and there are far many more performers. and there are less studios providing employment for them. >> richard, in a piece that you wrote for "the daily beast," you quoted an adult entertainment executive as saying, pyre ri is the biggest single factor contributing to the economic malaise we are in, how can you compete with free? why hasn't the porn industry been able to crack down on piracy? >> the porn industry has tried to crack down on piracy. and to some extent, they have. a few years ago when i wrote that, they were being devastated by these free tube site, the porn equivalent of youtube. you they've worked an arrangement where these sites advertise just a few-minute clips. but at the end of the day, like the music industry, the business model is fundamentally transformed. a lot of the actresses, the performers no longer work for the big studios but they do prooif private web shows, escort on the side. it's changed every aspect of the busines

a movie theater in aurora just last year. another 12. today colorado's governor echoed what many have expressed here. >> what in the world is going on in the denver metro? >> god only knows. there is no rational explanation for it happening here. i'm sick of it. i've had enough of this. everyone in colorado has had enough. >> reporter: he said he has talked nonstop to classmates on friday hoping to make sure no one internalizes the trauma when help is all around. >> i did try to help him and i didn't get to him. and other people tried to help him and didn't get to him. and i think there are so many people in my school that were supportive of him but no one was able to get to him. at the end of the day, that's what happened. >> reporter: joel said he talked to a number of students and a number of students have gone into what he calls a shell. he is encouraging everyone to talk to counsellors and one another. in the two days since it happened, he said it has really helped him. >> thanks very much. >>> a major new development involving a st

i believe that's what we're going to see in aurora.'m concerned that's what we're going to see here, that people don't intervene with the same kind of intentionality that they need to. i'm concerned in that state, in order to prevent this sort of thing. it's okay to help someone when they are about to move into a state where they can hurt themselves and other people. you are helping them by doing that, no matter how much they dislike it. i have a concern that there might be, i don't know if it's a cultural issue, legal issue or medical issue, that is preventing that from being carried out in that state. >> we have seen it elsewhere outside of colorado, dr. drew, including in newtown, connecticut, right? >> absolutely. absolutely. but there, at least what you have is a parent in denial who seemingly as we are learning more about this case, that case, did not want to intervene, did not want to admit to herself she had a paranoid, agitated, violent plotting child on her hands. it's difficult to deal with as a parent. no parent wants to de

, 14-miles from aurora, eight miles from columbine. coloradoans get a bad rap for the frequency of these type of attacks. but are they, conversely, then, more attuned to what to do as a result, and to the smallest kids, the youngest kids, all the way up to high school kids, what to do in these events. >> actually twofold. in terms of the kids, yes. i can speak from personal experience. children in colorado are taught from a very early age -- you're talking kindergarten, first grade -- to experience what it means to be in a lockdown situation, where the kid goes under a desk, or they lock the school door and they're told not to move until a police officer comes to the door and is giving the all clear. i have conversations with my kids where they talk about the lockdown practice they have and talk about the reasons they practice and talk to me about columbine, so they're attuned here in colorado. i a twofold because then you go to law enforcement. all of the protocols you saw happen here today, where they went into the building as oppose

with sandy hook, aurora, and l columbine fresh in their minds, they passed three landmark gun safety requiring background checks on all gun sales and banning high-capacity magazines. in march, governor john hickenlooper signed the bills into law. furious at a state government that had dared to loosen the iron grip of the gun lobby, the nra launched an effort to oust democratic elected state senators john morse and angela giron. they lost their seats in september, aided in no small part by conservative led efforts to prohibit mail-in ballots, despite the fact that 88% of coloradans mailed in their ballots during the 2012 election cycle. the nra's recall dramatically changed the power balance in the state senate and gave colorado democrats the edge by only one seelt. spurred on by their win, the gun lobby went back for more. weeks later, faced with yet another recall, one that could have handed republicans the majority, colorado state senator evie hudock resigned from her seat on the day before thanksgiving. by resigning, she allowed governor hickenlooper to appoint a democrat to her s

tom foreman, we had this, we had columbine, we had aurora.sting, i will say something about that, don. the area is no stranger to it. but it's worth bearing in mind, all these young people we're seeing right now, they are strangers to it. columbine happened, what is this, 14 years now? probably the oldest kid in the school was probabmaybe 3, mayben it happened at best. they probably have only the faintest memory of that, and most of the memory is probably through the drills they've gone through in school and the knowledge they've been taught in school about how to respond to such a thing. i think this is a very different experience right now for the adults in that town. the people who are over 30 years old, than for people who are younger, because the younger people, to them, this is a distant event that happened a long time ago in the past. for the adults, they know what it's like. >> it's something they read about and something the older people have experienced. to them, it might not be real, but it certainly is now, tom. >> absolutely. it'

the hope lies in the powerful resupply ship "aurora aust australis." they are in no immediate danger. they have weeks of supply. they are just stuck. >> parts of moscow are lit up. natural light lasts six hours and it's later in the day since the county abandoned daylight savings. many lived their lives, morning to night, in what appears to be darkness. peter sharp reports on how it's changed. >> waky, waky, it's nearly 10 o'clock. ever since the kremlin scrapped daylight saving time the people here face 18 hours of darkness a day through the winter, going without seeing a trace of blue sky or sunlight for months. for the people of moscow the daily walk to work can be depressing and dangerous experiences. carried out in almost total dark possess, crossing treacherous icy streets. then it has to be repeated again eight hours later on the way home, again in total darkness. >> it really influences people. they can get depression. statistics say that 10% of people suffer from this disease during winter. almost every person has a lack of energy. about 10% h

i was in aurora, tucson, ft. ho hood. i have seen this. of mental illness that are prevalent in these mass shootings, it's not a coincidence. if something isn't done to make sure these people get treatment, i fear the trend of mass shootings which has been increasing is going to continue. >> keep happening. >> yeah. >> what's then answer? we heard people talk about making it easier to commit people as it was in the '50s and '60s before it was condemned as unacceptable. >> it starts with parents. i think it started with nancy. it branched down to teachers, mental health specialists. the government doesn't have all the answers to the questions. it comes down to the neighborhood and neighbors. >> in this case was the motherpt complicit? she was buying him guns, taking him to the gun range. was she ignoring the problem? >> it's clear from my research nancy loved her son, gave up a large percentage of her life to protect him. at the same time she knew he was very sick. she knew he was obsessed and fixated on violence. how this mother could simu

this all started with jana winter's exclusive reporting on the aurora colorado movie theater shooting. p the article is still at foxnews.com and the headline as you can see, xlmovie massacre suspect sent chilling notebook to psychiatrist. james holmes mailed a notebook full of details about how he was going to kill people. inside law enforce the sources say the suspect wrote in violent detail about how he would do the killing. it was an important piece of reporting that reveal that had authorities may have known about the threat posed by the suspect james holmes before the massacre occurred. attorneys for the suspect demanded to know who gave jana winter that information saying the sources had violated a gag order. if she refused to give them the names or name, the judge could have her put in jail. that was until yesterday's ruling which stated that new york based reporters carry this state's strong protections with them, no matter where they report. our bhos, the fox news chairman and ceo called it a victory not just for journalists, but for democracy as a whole. jana winter is with

that is what allowed the gunmen ,n aurora to shoot 70 people killing 12 and a matter of minutes. weapons designed for the theater of war have no place in a movie theater. a majority of americans agree with us on this. by the way, so did ronald reagan , one of the staunchest defenders of the second amendment, who wrote to congress in 1994, urging them to mrs. ronald reagan speaking, urging them to listen to the american public and to the law enforcement community and support a ban on the for the manufacture of military style assault weapons. [applause] and finally, congress needs to help rather than hinder law enforcement as it does its job. we need to get tougher on people who buy guns with the express purpose of turning around and selling them to criminals. we should severely punish anybody who helps them do this. since congress has not confirmed a director of the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms in six years, they should confirm todd jones, who has been active and i will be nominating for the post.

if those - if the "aurora australis" is not able to get any closer than the chinese vessel, then it may be a case of transferring those people off the academic ship. >> evacuating the ship is a possibility? >> it is one of the options at the moment, yes. >> what would happen to the ship? would they evacuate the crew, would someone be left behind? would the ship be abandoned? >> that is something to be determined. the rescue coordination centre remains in contact with the masters of all the vessels and will continue to do so today. >> we saw reports and video from aboard the ship, from passengers and crew members who seem to be taking it in stride. they are in good spirits. is there danger here. could the ice get so thick and powerful that it could damage the ship. >> look, it is - it does have its dangers down there. obviously this is a very, sort of, unpredictable environment, and there are inherent risks. hopefully the ice will remain as it is, and the vessel will remain stable and safe with all on board safe at the moment. so, you know, that's great news. >> hopefully the australian

is just a few moments ash miles from littleton, colorado and last year's deadly movie shooting in aurora. students who two was injured is shot and in serious condition. she is currently in surgery. new details are emerging about how all this went down. the sheriff there told us that walked inted shooter openly carrying a shotgun around 2:30 eastern time this afternoon. he was asking for a particular teacher. he errantly was targeting the teacher. word spread quickly and that teacher escaped. anotheries said that student first confronted the gunman. they now believe that is not the case. they later found the suspected shooter dead in a classroom, likely from a self-inflicted wound. evacuated by were deputies, hands in the air and single fire. they were patted down as deputies right to see if they were additional gunman. there was trouble and they began calling each other. >> i basically hung up on her and began texting my son. i wanted to see if i could get it in communication. he shortly said that he was ok. >> it was crazy. >> we didn't really know it was a gunshot, but we heard the rep

you mentioned are a aurora, virginia tech, and now this tragedy, and in each of the cases, say aurorania tech, these are people with severe mental illness that were under psychiatric care, but who were not required to follow-up with their care. the virginia tech case, he had actually been hospitalized, came out of the hospital, continued to manifest overt psychiatric symptoms, but no one required him to do anything about that until it spiralled out of control. in this case, today, this tragedy, you have to speculate that there's something more going on than just an altercation and a revenge. think about it this way. this kid walked into his own high school. imagine how agitated a young person would have to be to walk into his high school, brandishing a shotgun, shoot randomly some of his piers and then rapidly turn the gun on himself. that is a kid who is although may have been a well liked athlete, good performing student who that day was not for some reason in his normal mental state. something profound was altered. >> not to mention, dr. drew, you mention the shotgun, but did he ha
