And we begin in the state of tennessee where authorities are trying to determine what led a 24yearold man to goen a shooting spree killing four marines, investigators say Mohammad Youssuf abdulazeez had four handguns on him during a rampage and rifles at his house. He had every intent to kill officers if they had not killed him first. Authorities have looked into 70 leads they have about him. Officials believe they pieced together exactly what happened during thursdays shooting. Gary tuchman breaks it down. Reporter a Senior Defense official tells cnn several marines inside the Chattanooga Center were veterans who went into combat mode. He lifted up his arms like this with a big black gun. It was one shot and endless shots just one after another. Reporter the marines told everyone to drop to the floor and cleared the room by getting everyone outside in the back. Everyone sighted. But abdulazeez was not done. It is believed that abdulazeez never got out of his rented ford mustang convertible. After firing his barrage of shots at this location he made a right turn out of the parking lot heading seven and a half miles to the next location. We have arrived at that location driving at normal speed it took us 13 minutes. Something in that span of time something dramatic happened. Officers located the gunman driving down the highway, chattanooga officers chased the vehicle. Reporter this is the second location which remains closed off. The gunman continued driving down the road to the Military Reserve center. The police in pursuit. The officers encountered the gunment in the second location. But he killed four marines before he could be neutralized. [ gunshots ]. Our officers drove down there, encountered him and engaged in a battle with him. Abdulazeez was shot to death, officials believe he was killed by a Chattanooga Police officer. I am convinced if it werent for the bravery of the officers in the Chattanooga Police department more people would be dead. The home where he grew up was searched for hours. Bomb squad and canine unit searching the home. This woman taken away in handcuffs, not arrested but as a precaution. Karen jones lives next door. It was scary. Reporter karen has known the family since they moved in 14 years ago. When was the last time you saw him . Probably this weekend. I didnt remember. Reporter it was this weekend . Yes. Reporter the gunman no longer lived in the home but visited quite a bit. Karen jones saying that the visit was routine. Except for the beard he didnt usually wear. That guys like to grow beards every once in a while and he is of age. Abdulazeez traveled last year to jordan to visit his uncle, according to jordanian sources, a friend says that abdulazeez came back from that trip a changed person very distance. Jordan is not considered an isis hot bed but as Nick Paton Walsh told us earlier it could have been a jumping off point to another place in the middle east. It is a place of transit of course. But after that frankly it is speculation. I think the key issue with people these days the lone wolves for example that that radicalization could occur online in the United States. He could be here on family visits and meet others who are like minded. Its hard for investigators to work out that key Pivotal Moment when someone decides to commit that crime is. They will piece together who he met here to see if there were individuals who gave him a window on ideology but also bear in mind the violence he committed in tennessee doesnt at this stage appear to have required particularly lengthy Training Like bomb making like other previous al qaeda attackers have had in the middle east. He got highpowered weapons and shot them at relatively open targets. That doesnt necessarily suggest he had to go to a training camp. Having to work out if the idea for the crime was hatched here in the middle east while he was here. Nick paton walsh in jordan for us. We are learning more about the victims of the attack. Thomas sullivan joined the military in 1997 and served three tours of duty. Carson holmquist served two tours in afghanistan, the wisconsin native was in the military six years. Skip wells studied at Georgia Southern university before becoming a marine last year. Staff Sergeant David wyatt served in both iraq and afghanistan. His father spoke with cnns john berman. First off, were so sorry for your loss. How are you holding up tonight . Im holding up okay. Im trying to be strong for my daughterinlaw and her children. Your daughterinlaw and two young grandchildren. How are they doing tonight . They are doing okay. They dont understand exactly whats gone on. My daughterinlaw explained to the youngest grandson that his father was killed by a real bad man. Tell me about your son. This was a marine who loved his job, loved his work and served with enthusiasm. Yes, he worked really hard at this job. He joined the marine corps to do this part for his country. He was an eagle scout and always tried to do the right thing. He found his calling in the marine corps. Worked hard and was particularly proud of taking care of Young Marines. He served two tours in iraq and one in afghanistan. You said your son was an eagle scout and that was an inspiration. He got you and others to run the Marine Corps Marathon . Thats correct. He was in afghanistan and we had done some other small runs my wife and i. His stepmother and i had done a smaller run and sent him a small note via text. He texted back would we run our Marine Corps Marathon. And we had never considered running a marathon. And we texted back get back safe and well run. So that fall he and i, his sister two brotherinlaws and wife ran the Marine Corps Marathon with him. You all ran it together. Im sure allen like so many parents and family members you were terrified when you son was overseas serving in war zones. He made it through that only come back to the United States to be killed in all likelihood because he was a marine on u. S. Soil. That has to be difficult to come to terms with that. It is very difficult. We always feared we might get the same kind of call that we got last night. But it was different because serving in a combat zone you prepare yourself to hear with the son in the combat zone you prepare yourself to hear such news. At the statement time you are proud of them for doing what they can for their country. Our words to him when he went over was to serve honorably but not be a hero. We wanted him back. He did his job well and were stunned that this happened like this. And the country lost excuse me four fine young men yesterday. Its a great loss for the country. Indeed, it is. Allen allen wyatt, we know its hard but we here are thinking about you and the country is thinking about you and thanking you and grateful for your sons service. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Chilling to hear that father talk about his son. Isis is claiming responsibility for one of the deadliest attacks in iraq in recent months. At least 86 people were killed and Dozens Injured when a truck packed with explosives blew up in this predominantly shia town. The blast struck the market as people were shopping for things to celebrate the end of ramadan. The death toll could rise as they search through what you see there. Irans Supreme Leader says his countrys newly brokered nuclear deal will not change irans stance to the United States. A short time ago during his speech marking the end of ramadan. Ali khamenei asked that iranian officials put National Interests first. The Supreme Leader said that they will continue to support syria and other allies whether the deal is approved or not. Translator our policies will not change visavis the arrogant government of the United States at all. Translator death to america death to Great Britain death to israel death to hypocrites death meaning the and finally death to israel. Translator as we have repeated multiple times, with the United States we have no talks visavis regional issues. A huge milestone for a Shopping Complex in nairobi, kenya. The westgate Shopping Mall is opening nearly two years after islamic militants stormed it killing many people. We have more on the reaction from the survivors and others impacted by the massacre. She joins us live from nairobi. Its amazing that this mall has come back after all of that carnage we saw two years ago, robin. Reporter yes, natalie, the doors to Westgate Mall just reopened. There was a small crowd and clapping inside the mall. Those shops that reopened held short Prayer Services to remember their colleagues that were killed. During that day, this area became almost a war zone besieged by police and military with gunfire ringing out. It was an agonizing 80hour siege for ken yeah. The gunman killed 67 kenyans and foreigners. I spent quite a few hours at westgate waiting for help. Reporter many who survived still bear the scars. She was shot five times. They are quite prominent. These really really tiny ones but if you feel them, there is balls of metal. Reporter she was taking part in a childrens cooking competition. He cradled a small boy she didnt know as he died in her arms. Out of a mark of respect of those who died there i will not be able to walk in there. I think its opening up as a Shopping Mall. I would be happy if it opened as a memorial site. Reporter this was the interior of westgate four months after the attack. Its hard to find any visible remnants of the massacre that took place inside the Shopping Mall. While the walls have been rebuilt and painted and the shattered glass replaced many kenyans are asking just how this attack could have taken place, who carried it out and what happened to the killers. It bothers me for the families and also for me to feel safe in this country. Our questions are not answered. Reporter this survivor asked not to be identified because shes afraid of speaking out. Personally im not going back for reasons being i was there. Reporter she was having lunch when a hand grenade rolled toward her table killing her waitress. She died right in front of me. I was there and experienced it. It was there at the rooftop. Reporter this man works at the same jewelry store, determined to return to work at westgate. If you dont go back or if you give up these people they think that we are too we are weak. Or we are coward. But life has to go on. We have to show them we have courage. The gunmen were here. Reporter he hid here for three hours watching gunmen pump bullets mostly into women and children. Although they differ on whether westgate should open up or not all three agree they are survivors, not victims. We have been hearing a lot of that sentiment, people saying they are indeed survivors, not victims and remembering also the heroism of that day, how many civilians as well as police and military went in to try to save anyone they could. Hundreds even thousands were saved by people who went in while the gunshots were ringing out to try and rescue people trapped inside that mall. Amazing tales of bravery. Natalie, back to you. Well wait and see next hour how many people have come to the mall on this opening day as it reopens. Thank you, live in nairobi.

Formula one driver Jules Bianchi has died after sustaining a severe head injury at the japanese grand prix in october. He lost control and crashed into a recoughry vehicle as a typhoon bore down on japan. We want to talk with our meteorologist derek van dam. I remember and derek remembered talking about the conditions on that racetrack that day. So vivid in my mind and a sad situation. As meteorologists we all talked about how dangerous it was going to be to hold a race of this magnitude with an impending typhoon. I mean why would we do that . For american viewers this was an equivalent to a category 4 hurricane at one point. It made landfall 3 00 a. M. Local time in japan on october 6th. Now the japanese grand prix was on october 5th in the evening time. So there was only a few hours that separated landfall from the actually grand prix. So that was made us so concerned about this. And the japanese grand prix the actual International Automobile federation that governs the formula one racing put together a tenperson Accident Panel to review the evidence behind the crash. They never directly attributed the rain or wind from the storm to either of the crashes but they did acknowledge that the track was overtly wet. They said the weather conditions at the time were rain and a deteriorating track condition. The semidry racing line at turn seven was abruptly narrowed by water draining on the track and flowing downhill. Should they have held this race . A lot of people were concerned about it and not to mention just the dangers for the people watching as well. But they said that Going Forward they did learn some important lessons from this situation, unfortunately, the track drainage is going to be reviewed before each race just in case this particular instance happens again. Rain they dont cancel events under rainy circumstances. It has to be excessive rain and bad drainage to be considered. And for tires they need the latest technology for tires on the vehicles leading up to each formula one racing event. Its a very sad story. He was in a coma and never came back around. So sad for his family. That is Jules Bianchi learning he has died. A Massive Wildfire jumped a california freeway. Drivers scrambled to get out and some climbing a nearby mountain to get away. The brush fire grew to 1400 hectares in four hours. No word that anyone was hurt. Reporter as the sun was going down heres where they started to make their stand. This is phelan california. They opened up a fire hydrant nearby and created their own pool of water for the choppers to go down into to reload and drop water. Homeowners also making a stand here, doing everything they possibly could to try to protect the neighbor from the advance of the flames. Some of them grabbing hoses and soaking their hillsides. Now all of this started, of course on the 15 freeway, the cajon pass that major artery between los angeles and las vegas. Cars were abandoned and many of them of course caught fire and were completely burned. Then the fire made its advance north and thats where we saw so many different efforts whether by air or citizens grabbing hoses and the firefighters trying to stop this blaze before it could burn down major parts of this small city. Four lives lost in a senseless tragedy. Ahead here more on the American Marines killed in the chattanooga shooting. E things you really care about. Starting with amazing customer service.

Investigators found three guns on the suspect accused of killing four marines in tennessee. A rifle was also seized from the home of Mohammad Youssuf abdulazeez. Police killed him on thursday. The fbi is treating the shooting as a terror investigation. Isis claims responsibility for a truck bomb in a predominantly shia town north of baghdad. At least 86 people were killed and dozens wounded. The bomb exploded at a market as people were buying things to celebrate the month of ramadan. People cried and got sick as they ran, throwing up were told trying to get away from a fastmoving brush fire and all the smoke there on that freeway in california. At least 20 vehicles were destroyed when the fire jumped a highway on friday. At least five families may have lost their homes. Official says the fire grew to 1400 hectares in just four hours. Convicted Boston Marathon bomber joe car tsarnaev has been moved to colorado to the most secure prison in the u. S. And most inmates spent 23 hours a day in isolation. He may spend years there. Many in tennessee are mourning the death of four men after thursdays shooting. They were fathers and sons who died in the rampage while serving their country. One of them just 21 years old, another a purple heart recipient. We learn more about them. Reporter Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Sullivan earned two purple hearts fighting the war in iraq saluted today in the city of springfield. My heart went down to my toes. I said my god. And i suppose when things hit home close to this area it affects you deeper. Reporter he was our hero and he will never be forgotten, thank you tommy for protecting us. From Massachusetts Governor charlie bake irer terror comes home to massachusetts, god bless tom sullivan and his family and his friends. Sullivans last day of duty spent in chattanooga, tennessee at the naval Marine Reserve center. His marine brothers by his side. Sergeant Carson Holmquist from wisconsin served two tours of duty in afghanistan before he was killed here at home. He leaves behind a wife and son. The youngest victim Lance Corporal skip wells graduated three years ago from high school in marietta georgia. Service was in his family. He loved his country. His mama served in the military. I believe she was a marine also. He was in the rotc in high school. He loved that. I just think thats a calling that he had. Wells recently took a trip to disney world with his mom. She says my son died doing what he loved. Staff Sergeant David wyatt is pictured with his two children. Theres no sleep tonight, someone writes. Wyatt was from arkansas but lived in chattanooga where they are honoring the fallen and the families left behind. We are also learning more about the gunmans last stand with police on thursday. Lets bring in our cnn military analyst Lieutenant Colonel Rick Francona. What are you learning that is interesting about this . Im looking at his background and noticed the key was he went to the middle east and changed. Obviously something happened in the middle east in jordan. There is a lot of al qaeda and isis sympathizers in jordan. The jordanians have a tremendous problem with al qaeda. Al zarqawi, the founder of al qaeda in iraq was a jordanian national. There is a lot of things that could have happened there. When he came back he was arrested for dwi. That does not fit the profile of a committed jihadist. There is a lot we dont know and a lot of contradictions here. But these lone wolf and people operating under the radar are so hard to detect making them almost impossible to stop. And your heart breaks when you hear about these fine Young Marines who were killed because they didnt have any weapons there. Chill killed in chattanooga. Lets talk about the difficulty of people tracing of all the people who could be lone wolf types. How important is it for there to be a paper trail or a cybertrail . We always find this after the fact. The problem is we are not able to monitor them as the radicalization is ongoing because it is so settle and so pervasive. If you go on the internet there is so much out there and so much attempts these chat rooms are just full of isis al qaeda, other Islamist Groups looking for people just like this. And theyre looking for people that are not going to come to the attention of law enforcement. I dont know how we solve that. I know that the fbi is doing a lot of undercover work now but its probably not going to be enough. I think the fbi director was cogent in his remarks he is not going to be able to stop everything. How long before we find out a little bit more about abdulazeez and perhaps what his exact motives were. What will you be listening for next . I want to hear what the Jordanian Intelligence Service has to say about him. As you know i was an adviser to the jordanian service and they are very good. They will figure out what he was doing in jordan. Well know shortly what he was up to over there and if he had any role in this if he was approached by someone over there. I think his motivation was obviously clear here. The fact he had three weapons and wearing loadbearing equipment with multiple magazines. You dont do that if you are firing a few shots, he went out to kill people and he was able to do. That partly because these facilities and there are hundreds of them all over the country, they are soft targets. Its almost impossible to secure them. Absolutely. We see them on all of our street corners and neighborhoods. Colonel Rick Francona thank you for joining us. It was policy at that recruiting office not to be armed. Now four u. S. States are changing that. Governors for tennessee, oklahoma, arkansas and louisiana all announced plans on friday to arm state military personnel to protect their facilities. Seven workers at a maximum security prison in mexico have been charged in connection with the escape of the drug lord Joaquin Guzman better known as el chapo. Mexicos interior minister says it is likely that prison workers helped the drug lord get away. But relatives of prison employees dont believe that. Reporter mexicos mostwanted man seems to have vanished into thin air. Experts think that Joaquin El Chapo guzman is relying on his unique skill set. He is ruthless and cruel but he is street smart and cunning. This guy is a terrible criminal. A very primitive man that raped woman when the woman doesnt his favor that can kill people women, man, this man is very bad. Reporter she is a journalist and an expert in the cartel problem in her country. She lives with Death Threats because of writing about guzman. He organized one Hunger Strike inside the jail. More than 900 prisoners. So with 900 prisoners on your side, youre able to do everything. Reporter she believes that el chapo threatened and bribed prison officials. Families of some of the employees defend their loved ones saying their relatives would never help the inmates. A woman who wont tell me her name says she hopes security measures at the prison would keep her loved one safe. She says her relative risked his life after time he went to work. The prison has Cartel Workers and killers. Federal prosecutors want to talk to people they believe visited guzman during his emprisonment. A state legislator from sinaloa is one of them. Sanchez did not reply to the request for comment but she denies she knows guzman. She is not the only mexican official ensnared in a cloud of controversy and sadly corruption is part of the fabric of her country. El chapo didnt create the culture. The culture create the el chapo. El chapo is just the best example of how bad the things are in mexico. Reporter el chapos escape could carry serious implications for the mexican president whose arrests of cartel figures are overshadowed by the escape of el chapo. Translator im fully confident of the courage, bravery, and determination of our armed forces and the police of the federal order to catch him, just as we did last year. Reporter nieto has faith and trust in his government. Many dont feel the same way. There is plenty of frustration on the streets of mexico. So many asking why their government didnt do more to make sure that guzman stayed behind bars. The latest request for extradition to the u. S. Came two weeks before guzman crawled into that tunnel and made a dangerous escape. That was the second time that guzman escaped from a prison. People in greece are being vigilant as a wildfire continues to burn. It has officials suspecting foul play. Well talk about that in a moment with derek.

More than 200 people were injured when a commuter train slammed into the back of another near johannesburg the force caused one of the trains to derail. The spokesman for the rail company says that the injured were taken to hospitals but no one was killed in the collision. Two trains that have collided. And we had around 239 people that were injured. 100 of those are already released from the hospital. I can confirm that all the others are still being attended to at various hospitals around johannesburg. The cause of the crash is of courseinvestigation. A forest fire bearing down on athens has people there on edge as some of the government suspect it was deliberately lit. Meteorologist derek van dam is at the Weather Center for us. As if greece doesnt have enough on its plate. It is a bit suspicious when 50 some fires simultaneously begin at the same time. I would be questioning arson, myself if i was an authority making decisions on this as well or investigating the cause of these fires. But look at these images of volunteer firefighters and upwards of 100 professional firefighters battling these blazes in and around the Greater Athens region. The smoke is billowing in the distance creating that thick haze across the cities. You can see just some of the local Community Members banding together to do whatever they can to prevent these blazes from taking over their neighborhoods. There have been some evacuations of small neighboring towns. It is threatening the urban areas there. And unfortunately, its similar to what was greeces worst break out of fires back in 2007 when dozens of people died. That is very reminiscent of what is taking place now. Although we have not heard of any injuries although there could be a couple of fatalities. We have had about 50 fires in and around the athens regions coming in at four different fronts four locations they are monitoring closely. You can see the proximity to the city center and the fires on the mountainside there, suspected of arson in this area and the fire brigades taking their aim at dousing the fires. Chinook required to dump water on some of the fires. Low humidity strong winds and very high temperatures that lead to perfect fire temperatures. This is the sevenday forecast for athens. There is no relief in sight. It is going to stay sunny and very hot. That will allow the possibility of more brush fires in the coming days. After more than five decades of broken relations the u. S. And cuba are expected to reopen embassies in washington and havana on monday. It is a historic turnaround for two nations who seemed stuck in a permanent era of cold war distrust. Reporter for decades, cast flow came here, the u. S. Intersection in havana. Since 1961 this officially at least was considered a swiss territory. Although there is no American Flag or embassy sign the United States says it has more diplomats in havana than any other country. The intersection has long acted as the front line in the u. S. Cuba conflict. During the Elian Gonzalez saga they held demonstrations here against the United States. This foreign diplomat remembers seeing castro at the demonstrations. With a stone i could have thrown it and hit fidel. We are the best of enemies. There is a trust underlying. Im not going to go out with my stone and throw it as fidel, am i. Reporter not to say there hasnt been tension. James cason, another former chief shocked the cubans by installing an electronic ticker on top of the building. I knew i would not be allowed to talk to the people. So we would talk over the heads of the regime by putting the moving billboard inside our windows. Reporter cuban officials responded by putting up rows of flags to cover the american messages. Eventually diplomacy won out and the flags and ticker were taken down. There have been fewer demonstrations since fidel castro left power in 2006 and antiu. S. Propaganda signs have been removed. The diplomats are still watched by cuban government cameras and guards that surround the building. As relations normalize it may transform from confrontation to addressing the increasing number of visitors to the island. We have many more americans coming to cuba and they have accidents and become injured or ill and look for the u. S. Embassy to provide assistance and we will i believe, need additional fulltime staff to deal with these challenges. Reporter now challenges for a new chapter in u. S. Cuban relations as the United States on monday for the first time in 54 years opens an embassy in havana. Ice, mountains and surprisingly smooth planes.
