Good evening. And we begin tonight with that scare in washington, d. C. And the major security questions tonight, because of it. Tourists in the shadow of the capitol when suddenly, they hear it they look up and see it all. The pilot flying in right into restricted air space. All part of an elaborate stunt in his small, oneman helicopter. You can hear one of them saying this is not good. The man landing on the west lawn of the capitol. Tonight, pictures of the arrest. They surround the alleged architect of the plan. This evening, in custody, a 61yearold postal worker. And it turns out the secret service knew him and had talked to him before. Abcs Senior National correspondent jim avila leading us off. Reporter the gyrocopter flew over the reflecting pool this is not good people. Reporter past the statue of ulysses s. Grant, dozens watching. As it made a beeline for the capitol. The small aircraft weighing less than 500 pounds holding only one pilot. It was loud. Thats what drew my attention. And then we both looked it and said, oh where the heck is that going . Reporter on the ground the pilot quickly surrounded offering no resistance. Capitol police sent in a robot and then the bomb squad but found no weapons or devices. This was not terrorism. It was a longplanned protest stunt. The pilot was this man, doug hughes a postal worker from florida, who, with his local newspaper, made this video of his elaborate to fly to the capitol and deliver letters to Congress DemandingCampaign Finance reform. Im going to violate the nofly zone nonviolently. I intend for nobody to get hurt. And im going to land on the capitol mall in front of the Capitol Building. Reporter in the video, he admits it sounds crazy. No sane person would do what im doing. Reporter he had been training for months. The reporter who had been talking to hughes for months washington to witness the flight. Did he expect to be shot down . He knew it was a possibility. Honestly i didnt think he would make it close to here. I was like holy heavens, hes made it a long way. Reporter during all that time the reporter did not warn the secret service this was going to happen. But hughes did. Calling them ayearold ago year ago. The House Homeland Security chairman telling the Associated Press that had hughes gotten any closer to the Capitol Building they have long guns to take it down. This cone marks the spot where the copter landed. Not 100 yards away from the Capitol Building itself and leaving a football field worth of questions about security. David . It was something to watch today. Jim avila tonight, thank you. I want to get right to Pierre Thomas in washington tonight, as well. And pierre i want to show everyone at home that moment again. So much fear those tourists watching this all unfold. And the big question tonight, how did he get into that restricted air space to begin with . Its supposed to be impenetrable. Reporter david, this is supposed to be some of the most restricted air someplace on the planet. But so far, no indication that sensors or radar picked up this cop copter. You cant shoot it down if you dont know its coming. So far, since 9 11 theyve spent hundreds of millions of dollars on air defenses and the key question tonight, did the Technology Fail or is there a huge gap in Technology David . That and the fact that the secret service knew of this man. Pierre thomas on the breaking story tonight, as well. Pierre, thank you. And to the other developing headline tonight. The stunning fall for a former nfl star Aaron Hernandez. Once a rising star with a 40 Million Contract then came that arrest.

Reporter hernandez, a star tight end with a 40 Million Contract with the Super Bowl Championship Team was arrested in 2013 for the murder of his friend odin lloyd. Led out of his mansion in handcuffs. This case was not about the patriot player. This was about a murder. A brutal, senseless murder. Reporter prosecutors had no motive or murder weapon. But claimed this box, shown on Surveillance Video being carried out of the home bill hernandezs fiance contained the gun used to kill lloyd. And proving their case with about 130 witnesses, including lloyds mother crying on the stand when shown a photo of her sons body. And surprised testimony from patriots owner, robert kraft, who talked about their last encounter. He said he was not involved. That he was innocent. Reporter now, the former patriots player is sentenced to life without parole. The prison just one mile from gillette stadium. One mile from that stadium, in prison for life as you report. But hes not done with the court system yet. Reporter no hes not, david. Hes still facing double murder charges for a driveby shooting in 2012. Prosecutors saying that he killed two men over a spilled drink in a nightclub. Mara thank you. Now, to new developments tonight in the case of the Arizona Police officer who used his Police Cruiser to run down a suspect. The video is difficult. The suspect does survive this. The video shows the officer heading straight for him. Tonight, in this case the police chief is now talking, after this camera caught on tape saying deadly force, was, in fact authorized. The cheech also sayief also says he believes the officer made a quote, very difficult decision. Abcs nall karlinsky is outside tucson. Reporter the video is so shocking, its hard to believe the suspect survived. As a marana Arizona Police car runs him down at speed. Oh reporter the suspects lawyer says its a blatant case of excessive force, all caught on camera. I think that theres all sorts of other things that the police have been trained on and could have done. Reporter but tonight, police say the video actually doesnt tell the whole story. Reporter the suspect, mario valencia was wanted for a suspected crime spree unfolding over just three hours, robbing a 7eleven breaking into a church and allegedly stealing a car. And also caught on camera, allegedly stealing this rifle and ammunition from a walmart. When police initially approach him, hes holding the rifle. Stop ill [ bleep ] do it. You dont want to do this. You dont want to do this. Reporter walking down the street, he turns left and then he fires. [ gunshot ] all right, one round just went out into the sky. Reporter this is where it happened. You can still see the wall, the bricks that were taken out by the police car here. But just around the corner a movie theater, a post office, a number of businesses and police say they were worried if he made it there, he might shoot someone. I think that deadly force was certainly authorized in that situation, and i think the officer made a very difficult decision. Reporter the county attorney has declined to prosecute the officer. But the Police Department here is continuing to conduct its own review. David . Neal karlinsky, thank you. And now, to the incredible pictures of the extreme weather coming in tonight.

In this promotional video, investors overseas were told their money would go primarily for a multimillion dollar hotel and Conference Center that would create scores of new jobs. The number one concern of this investment is to create jobs. Reporter even better, one of the men running the program was this man, a former Top White House official, colonel tim milbrath, a senior military aide to three president s. But now, more than five years after the Ground Breaking there is no hotel, just a vacant lot. Investors say most of the money has disappeared, and the former white house aide now confirms the fbi is investigating. The hotel is supposed to be here. You broke ground. When we tracked him down colonel milbrath said all the money would be accounted for. Millions of dollars are missing. And theres no hotel. Theres nothing. Well. Reporter is this a scam, sir . No, sir, its not. Reporter to get Foreign Investors to put up 500,000 each, milbrath promised an easy path to a u. S. Green card under a special federal immigration program, called the eb5. We were duped. Reporter terry sumpter, a retired british detective, says he and other investors thought a project involving a former white house aide had to be legitimate. They had promised that they could facilitate a green card within six weeks. Reporter but nobody got a green card. And documents in an investors lawsuit allege fraudulent and deceptive practices, and that the former white house aide and his partner pocketed millions for their own ultimate personal benefit. Wheres the money . Well unfortunately, because its in litigation i cannot really comment. Reporter you cant tell me where the money is . I cant, no.
