First to mandate fully paid maternity leave. Nightly news begins now. Good evening. It was a shocking crime that seemed to come out of nowhere. It started with a car accident, an argument between the drivers and then a handgun drawn and shots fired leaving a wellknown new orleans nfl player dead. Spokesman for the saints called the death of former defensive end will smith a senseless and tragic loss. And now were learning more about the suspected gunman, whom police have charged with seconddegree murder. We begin with Gabe Gutierrez in new orleans. Reporter he was one of the most beloved players in franchise history, but tonight the new Orleans Saints are mourning the loss of former defensive end will smith. While this was an isolated incident, it is certainly tragic at every level and on all sides. Reporter just hours before his death he tweeted he was having a blast at a festival in the french quarter, but around 11 30 saturday night, police say a hummer rear ended smiths mercedes and both drivers exchanged words. Police say the driver of the hummer, 30yearold Cardale Hayes opens fire. Reports of a body. Ems is notified. Reporter smith was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene. We saw the man advance with the gun in hand and heard the shots, probably six, eight shots that occurred. Reporter his wife shot in the leg and rushed to the hospital. Hayes is charged with seconddegree murder. He once received a settlement in the city over the 2005 Police Shooting death of his father who had a history of mental illness. Earlier in the evening smith had dinner with a former Police Officer named in the lawsuit, but so far, police say they dont know if theres a link or if this was just a road rage incident at this time we do not have any information to suggest that they knew one another or that this was anything other than an accident that turned into a dispute, disturbance that turned violent. Undefeated reporter the saints drafted smith back in 2004 and he spent all nine of his nfl seasons with the team. He made the pro bowl in 0006 and helped the saints win the super bowl in 2010. It is so rare these days in the nfl to have a player spend an entire career with one team, and i think thats why this really resonates with the city and the people of new orleans, because they belong to will and will belonged to them. Reporter tonight around the nfl the shock is sinking. Saints quarterback drew brees tweeted mourning the loss of a great friend and teammate will smith. Such a senseless tragedy. Smiths family said we appreciate the outpouring of the prayers. Just last month smith was unanimously elected to the saints hall of fame in his first year of eligibility. As for the suspect he was arraigned late today and now being held on 1 million bail. Kate . Gabe gutierrez thank you. In politics now donald trump is refining his campaign tonight as the frontrunner fights for delegates and tries to lock up the nomination before the Republican Convention this summer. But his opponents gained new fuel today from a provocative depiction of a Trump Presidency by one of the countrys leading newspapers. Jacob rascon has more on the republican battle. Reporter there is little doubt rochester, new york, is trumper er iterritory. There is no rally like a trump rally and nobody gets that people. Reporter sporting a new haircut and sharper message. Rochester lost 90,000 jobs since 1970, 4,000 jobs in the last six months. Reporter but even some true believers here say theyre ready for trump 2. 0. He is changing obviously. We saw him be a little more brash in the beginning his goals and what he wants to do as president have stayed exactly the same. They have not changed. He just cleaned it up a little bit. He says it like it is and i think he means what he says but it doesnt come out the right way. Reporter a change would be okay with you . For trump . A little bit maybe. Reporter on meet the press his new right hand Paul Manifort changed the course. As the campaign has gotten to the end stages a more Traditional Campaign has to take place. Reporter predicted there will be no open convention. Im confident, we have several ways through june 7th to go over 1,237. Reporter while the boston globe foreshadowing a future Trump Presidency with a fake front page they hope to never have to print mass deportation, riots, trade wars the editorial laying trumps vision deeply disturbing and profoundly unamerican. The whole front page say make believe story which is no different from the whole paper for the whole thing. The whole thing is made up. Reporter back in battleground, new york, the show must go on. Im headed on down the road saying trump for president reporter not just a frontrunner, their political savior. Behind the scenes the trump too emin new york is confident in its chances to take most if not all of the delegates here. John kasich will also be here tomorrow and ted cruz moves ahead to california, a state that doesnt vote until june but where most agree the gop delegate race may ultimately be decided. Kate . Jacob rascon in upstate new york, thanks. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders were fighting for votes in new york one week before the primary. Despite a string of primary victories, sanders faces an uphill fight for delegates. President obama weighed in on the issue of Hillary Clintons emails. Kelly odonnell has our report on the democrats. Reporter with delegaterich primaries around the corner this was no day of rest. We are taking on all of the establishment. Lets do this together thank you reporter Hillary Clinton and husband bill put their faith in africanamerican congregations, making visits to six churches in harlem and queens. She was your senator. She was a great secretary of state. Reporter clinton aligned herself with president obama and implied Bernie Sanders had not been as loyal. We have someone who rejects the idea that president obama has made progress. Doesnt give him the credit that i think he deserves. Reporter today sanders made the rounds on four sunday talk shows. And challenged clintons suitability to be president but not her qualifications. She may have the experience to be president of the united states, no one can argue that, but in terms of her judgment, something is clearly lacking. Reporter although the use of a private email server resurfaced in an interview with president obama, asked if he still thinks there was no compromise to national security, after classified documents were found on that clinton server. Hillary clinton was an outstanding secretary of state. She would never intentionally put america in any kind of jeopardy. Reporter helpful praise, though the president has no endorsement plans. Clinton campaigned in maryland with its primary later this month. Please sign up to be part of this campaign. Reporter staying in new york, sanders got a taste of coney island. I hope that on april 19th we will have the largest voter turnout. Reporter while sanders has won seven straight contests, clinton holds the lead in the big blue states that vote next. Kelly odonnell, nbc news, baltimore. From belgium tonight prosecutors are now saying the terrorists who carried out the deadly suicide bombings in brussels last month may have been planning to attack paris again, not belgium. The information coming from a key suspect. Bill neely reports on the new developments in that investigation. Reporter it was the deadliest night in paris since world war ii. Isis launching four brutal attacks, but this was meant to be just the beginning. Belgian prosecutors now say the isis cell responsible based in brussels had planned a second hit on france. But the arrest of the paris bomber Salah Abdeslam surprised them and the speed of the investigation, say prosecutors, rushed them into an attack on belgium. That at least is what Mohamed Abrini is telling them, one of the terror gang now charged with mass murder in brussels and paris, and this, say french prosecutors, was their real intended target, the pre prestigious de fance shopping district in paris. Instead they left their apartment in brussels and in less than an hour bombed the citys airport. This Video Shows Police raiding the apartment, by which time 32 people were dead. In this apartment, police found 30 pounds of the explosive tatp, and around 50 gallons of explosive material, but the gang had already used four times that amount in the bombs they built here, so where did it all come from, and who supplied it, those questions have never been answered and Mohamed Abrinis ambitions went beyond a Second Attack on paris. Security sources tell nbc news he traveled to birmingham, england, last year, where photos of a soccer stadium were found on his phone. Prosecutors say abrini has confessed to being the man in the hat, who helped deliver the airport bombs and then fled. Its not clear if hes still talking and the Police Searching for suspects cant be sure there arent more killers on the loose, with more targets in mind. Bill neely, nbc news, brussels. On the issue of interrogating terror suspects our chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel asked cia director john brennan whether the agency might once again permit waterboarding. President obama banned it but donald trump and ted cruz have said theyre open to it. In an exclusive interview brennan was unequivocal. Absolutely i would not. I would not agree to having any cia officer carrying out waterboarding again. You can see more of richards interview with brennan tomorrow right here on nightly news.

They were turned back with force as Kelly Cobiella reports. Reporter a battle on the greek macedonian border. Macedonian Police Firing tear gas at refugees, shooting Water Cannons and rubber bullets.

But if you have afib thats not caused by a heart valve problem, pradaxa can help stop clots from forming. Pradaxa was even proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke, in a Clinical Trial without the need for regular blood tests.
