The chinese that they have detected sounds underwater one month after that plane vanished. Lets get to the map we have grown familiar with. The possible flight path of the plane and that area right there is where the signal was picked up. This is the ship. Part of the International Fleet out on the water. We do a team coverage. There are a lot of questions, whether this is the real thing or they heard something else. Clayton sandell in australia tonight. Clayton, good evening. Reporter thats right. There is a Big New Development tonight. But investigators are scrambled to figure out this is just another false alarm. Nearly one month after the jet carrying 239 people vanished. Chinas state media today claims this chinese ship detected that signal pulse heard on the same frequency used by emergency beacons like the ones attached to the black box recorders. Australia in charge of the search says what the chinese say they heard is consistent but stressed they cannot verify any connection to the missing aircraft. A chinese plane reported seeing debris near where the pulse was heard. But so far, weeks of searching the indian ocean has failed to turn up evidence. The search becoming more urgent because the pings may be just days away from going silent. Their batteries running out. I think the warranty runs out probably on sunday. We may get four, five days after that. If theyre good batteries, you might get a week or so longer. Were getting close. Reporter today two ships launched underwater sensors. To listen for the pings. But the devices need to be within one mile to hear them. And the search area is enormous, 83,000 square miles. The size of the state of kansas. So much territory. So few clues. But malaysian Authorities Say they are not giving up. We will continue to search with the same level of vigor and intensity. We owe this to the families of those onboard. Reporter they are considering sending more teams to the area where the pings were heard. They are desperate to find out whether they are from malaysia 370 or not. I want to bring in john nance tonight, a pilot himself. We need to learn much more about what exactly what was heard. When you learned this chinese ship detected a pulse signal not far from the search area what did you make of it . What got my attention, the frequency they thought they picked up which is exactly the same frequency as 37. 5 kilohertz as what is on these two boxes. If that is sustained, if they heard that on a continuous basis, they may have something. But you told me there are many things, underwater sounds that can be detected. Absolutely. The ocean is a noisy place. One of the reasons they picked that frequency is because fish and whales dont normally communicate on that wavelength. But a Nuclear Submarine might emit a signal. That could be mistaken for it 500 miles away. The proof is getting over that site and hearing those signals. As we heard clayton report, it was four weeks ago this weekend when the jet disappeared. The batteries have got to be nearing their end . Theyre getting close. The guarantee is 30 days. But it will go 45 days if the batteries were fresh when the jet took off. That gives us a bit more time but not much. Even when they do die, the disk itself keeps the information intact. Probably for centuries. But we hope it isnt going to take that long. John, thank you. We turn next to an incredible reunion. One of the soldiers shot at ft. Hood. Hit four times standing a few feet from the Army Specialist when he opened fire. Reunites with his parents. It comes as a Community Mourns those lost. The father comforting his young daughter at a gathering where the three shoulders were killed. A candlelight vigil held in their honor.

He worried when he served in afghanistan but didnt imagine he would be attacked here at home. He came here to a u. S. Military installation thats secure and almost lost his life. And got wounded. Its just unbelievable. Reporter for an excruciating seven hours he knew nothing about his sons condition. Because we had no information, it was like there was we allowed ourselves to think the very worst. Reporter sergeant westbrook was one of the first to come face to face with ivan lopez. The violent spree beginning when lopez asked for a leave of absence form but was told to return the next day. To pick it up. Moments later he returned with a gun in hand opening fire with an area over two blocks long. We may not know exactly why the alleged shooter did what he did. Reporter the westbrooks are together. Thankful and thinking of those who werent as lucky. How grateful are you right now . Eternally grateful and beyond description. Reporter mr. Westbrook says he plans to spend as much time here helping his son recover and says he hopes their strength will help the other families. David. Thank you. I want to bring in Martha Raddatz who was on the base at ft. Hood today. You heard Authorities Say this altercation and shooting, they dont believe they were directly related to his Mental Health issues. But he had been given prescription drugs and seen a psychiatrist, had he not . Just seen a psychiatrist a month ago, and he was suffering from anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders, and was on a variety of medications including ambien. And i know this will be a focus of the investigation. They continued to look at his fourth months in iraq. Later diagnosed himself with traumatic brain injury. Do they see anything that sets up a red flag . Not necessarily. They know he was not wounded in combat. He didnt see combat in iraq, but sometimes veterans suffer Mental Health issues even if they havent seen combat by being in a war zone, and some people come into the military with Health Issues already. You know, david, you look at those smiling pictures. There he is with his family. Those pictures posted on facebook. And you just wonder what could possibly have made this man snap.

A 25yearold woman put it in a message from the entire country to the militant. You are the loser and we are the winners. Reporter that win is historic. 7 million out of 12 million eligible voters cast a ballad, a 58 turnout equal of that to the u. S. Elections in 2012 and to the biggest victory of all, 35 of all voters were women. Todays votes cap off months of campaigning with extremely tight security. Stakes couldnt be higher.

The church built gregory this 6,000 square foot home costing 2. 2 million, has an elevator, two dining rooms and shares a zip code with ceos and athletes. The money and the land both came from the nephew of gone with the wind author. Who instructed the church to use his donation for charitable work.
