Naomi judd with Robin Roberts. Her personal struggle, affected millions across this country, and how she hopes to help them. Good evening on this tuesday night. And we begin this evening with new charges for the driver in that deadly case of road rage. A former nfl star shot and killed. And tonight, those harsh words from the louisiana sheriff, about the kind of hate he says was aimed at his investigators and authorities while they were simply trying to do their jobs. Authorities say former nfl star joe mcknight was killed by the other driver, ronald gasser, last seen in handcuffs next to that car right there. Abcs eva pilgrim is in new orleans tonight. Reporter tonight, ronald gasser, the man behind the trigger in the deadly road rage killing of former nfl player joe mcknight, is behind bars, charged with manslaughter. Two people engaged in bad behavior that day. Reporter the sheriff in Jefferson Parish today slamming his critics who had called for gassers immediate arrest over the weekend. If people dont think that we know what were doing strategically, tough. I dont care. I can put my head on the pillow every night, knowing that weve done the right thing for the right reasons. Reporter and he quoted from hatefilled comments on social media. Aimed at africanamerican local officials for supporting the pace of his investigation. Its not fair to be called. We saw you sell out to them, you rat [ bleep ] punk. Thats the tone of what were calling our elected leaders. Reporter the sheriff arguing that the fourday wait for an arrest allowed investigators to question gasser for hours, eliminate a lying witness and get other critical witnesses to come forward. The deadly confrontation, he says, wasnt about race, but started when mcknight allegedly cut gasser off driving on a bridge. Gasser then sets out after mcknight. The two drivers tailing each other for miles. In this surveillance video, just a mile from the shooting scene, you can see the two vehicles matching the description of mcknights silver suv and gassers blue car speeding through a turn. A mile away, the two stopped at this light, arguing through open windows. Police say mcknight boxed in gassers car, got out and leaned toward his passenger window. At some point in time during that verb alabamaer the case, mr. Gasser pulls his weapon from between his seat and the console and fires three shots at joe mcknight, killing him. And eva joins us live tonight. Eva, its still unclear what that former nfl player might have tried to do . Reporter david, no word if mcknight was trying to get in that car. The sheriff says gasser claims he was being threatened, but some witnesses contradict parts of his story. Here in louisiana, the use of deadly force can be justified if someone is trying to get in your car. David . Eva pilgrim with us from new orleans. Eva, thank you.

Reporter shelley mack says she lived in the house for five months. She took this video before the fire showing crumbling walls, lepds clutter and one of those staircases, dimly lit and difficult to navigate. Tonight, investigators telling abc news, the cause is most likely electrical, while authorities consider the most serious charges. Are there possible murder charges coming down the line . Is that possibility . Its on the spectrum of possibilities. Reporter but who is responsible . The owner of the building . The city of oakland for missing repeated complaints . Or, the socalled landlord, derek almena . Am i the man who should be held accountable . Did i build something that what am i going to say for that . Reporter tonight, Officials Say most of the victims died of smoke inhalation. Some trapped in the inferno, sending those Text Messages to loved ones, saying goodbye.

The fbi says it got the tip from a foreign intelligence agency. A male, speaking in english, had called a Public Safety hotline, say officials, with a specific warning. Our intelligence was that it was Universal City station, and it was today. Reporter we accompanied Los Angeles Mayor eric garcetti, riding the subway himself, hoping to calm nerves. It wasnt something with massive amounts of people, or coordinated in other places, it was just a single, lone actor type of event. Lets go live to matt gutman tonight, and matt, the mayor telling you, they had no choice but to take this seriously . Reporter thats right, david. The major saying this had two of the three major components of a severe terrorist threat. Specificity, here, and timing, today. He said, what may have lacked was credibility. David .

Boeing is building a brand new 747 air force one for future president s, but costs are out of control. More than 4 billion. Cancel order well, the plane is totally out of control. I think its ridiculous. I think boeing is doing a little bit of a number. Reporter no explanation nor why hes attacking boeing, but with the tweet came about an hour after the companys ceo was quoted, criticizing trumps rhetoric on china. During the Campaign Trump warned boeing would send jobs there. Then, all of a sudden, your boeing plant in this area will be gone. And we dont want that.

Theres 87 telephones on the airplane. Three different networks, top secret all the way down to nonsecure. Reporter but the aircraft is 25 years old and quickly becoming obsolete. Boeing tapped to build two new planes. But there is no 4 billion deal. The pentagon projects the cost could exceed 3 billion. And the jets would likely be for trumps successor, not trump himself. The president elect now routinely tweeting about deals with specific companies. There was carrier, trump announcing the company would stay in indianapolis, quote, great deal for workers. We later found out that while carrier agreed to preserve 1,100 jobs, it is still moving 600 jobs to mexico.

It was 100 approved, and the secretary stopped the process. Reporter the Washington Post reports the Defense Department got cold feet. Worried the report could fuel calls to cut the defense budget.
