Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. We could only imagine what Los Angeles Police officers and their families were going through as they were being targeted by a fired cop out for revenge. Well, today we found out as they told their stories. The former officer, christopher dorner, died of a selfinflicted gunshot wound one week tonight, his body recovered from the ruins of a burnedout cabin in San Bernadino where he holed up. Over ten days dorner allegedly killed four people including two Law Enforcement officers. He was prepared to kill more. John miller spoke to two of them. I got the phone call. And the first thing i did was call and get ahold of the kids to find out where they all were. Reporter captain Phil Tingirides and his wife were on christopher dorners hit list published on his facebook page. Captain tingirides was on the board that fired dorner for falsely accusing another officer of brutality. They dont teach us in the academy how to protect your family when theres a maniac that wants to kill your children. Once we got home we explained to the kids as best we could that there was a threat but we had to be strong. We had to put up the front that everything is good. Youre protected here. Reporter what was it like at home . I didnt sleep that night. We had two officers posted in our backyard. Every 20, 25 minutes i just get up and look out my window. There they were standing tall with their gun in hand and their helmet on. And they never slept. Reporter dorners rampage began with the murder of monica kwan and her financee in a parked car. Kwans father is a retired l. A. P. D. Captain who represented dorner at the departmental hearing. It didnt take much training to be able to walk up to two unsuspecting people and kill them there. Reporter do you ever wonder or think of what if he had had the opportunity right then, would the story not have been about kwan . Would it have been about the tingirides. We thought about that. I looked at my daughter walking out to the car like, you know, miss kwan and just the thought of even the possibility of that happening really hit home for us. Very difficult. This experience brought our family very close together. This experience gave me the ability to have more understanding from a very real perspective of what people in this community go through and how they live everyday. Reporter thats a community that has been under the gun for some time with problems with crime. But when the tingirides were feeling under the gun the Community Rallied behind them. Scott, a very unusual offer to protect the tingirides family came from an unlikely place the feared bounty hunters gang. They declined the offer but i think they liked the sentiment. Pelley did the tingirides ever have any reason to believe that dorner actually approached their home or their family . Oh, i think they did. There was a sighting of a man believed to be dorner by one of their neighbors who said he was scoping out the neighborhood and gave some. Engaged them in conversation and was trying to get information. That also happened at the residence of the other captain who sat on the board and several other potential targets. Pelley john miller in our los angeles news room, great interview, john, thank you very much. Last night on this broadcast, correspondent bob orr broke the story that adam lanza, the killer at Sandy Hook Elementary School had an obsession with a mass murder that had occurred the year before. Later in the evening, the hartford counternewspaper added to that, reporting that investigators found clippings in lanzas home about the earlier killing. It was in december that lanza killed his mother, 20 first graders and six members of the school staff before killing himself. Bob orr is back tonight with more details on the motive. Reporter evidence recovered from adam lanzas home reveals he had collected information about another notorious killer. Sources say material about norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik was found in one of lanzas rooms. Breivik killed 77 people in 2011 in an attack in norway. Now police are pursuing a theory that lanza viewed himself as being in direct competition with breivik. Sources say lanza attacked nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School because it was an easy target with a large number of people. Investigators believe a rapid Police Response forced lanza to take his own life and end the massacre earlier than intended. Hundreds of rounds of unspent ammunition were found with lanza. Connecticut state police strongly deny theyve established any hard connection between lanza and breivik and say any reports about a possible motive are premature. In a statement, lieutenant paul vance said the unfortunate origin of unsubstantiated details of this case are both hurtful and many times inaccurate. But two officials who have been briefed on the investigation say connecticut officials have privately indicated they believe lanza was obsessed with breivik. Its also clear lanza was heavily involved with violent video games. A large collection of games was discovered in the search of his home. Investigators believe in the months before the attack, lanza spent countless hours alone in a basement gaming room with the windows blacked out. We also know now that lanza had blacked out the windows of his bedroom. Scott he was a young man who sought complete isolation and who died without explaining his actions. Pelley bob, thank you very much. Oscar pistorius the preliminary runner who shot his girlfriend to death claims it wasnt murder.

His words read out by his lawyer. His family sobbed in the packed courtroom and pistorius one of the worlds most famous athletes broke down in tears.

But the prosecution argues that his tore use knew steenkamp was hiding in the bathroom after an argument and that he put on his artificial legs, walked 20 feet from the bedroom before opening fire. The prosecution won the first round in court today. Oscar pistorius will be charged with premeditated murder. The defense must show that there are exceptional circumstances to convince the judge to allow him out on bail. His lawyers argued over the manner of her death.

He said he knew Reeva Steenkamp felt the same way. At one point in the hearing he was so overcome with emotion that his whole body was shaking and the judge had to pause the proceedings. Pelley youre reporting from the Police Station there in pretoria. I wonder what happens next in this case . Well, tonight Oscar Pistorius is still inside this Police Station in a private cell.

Pelley hell try to make bail tomorrow if he can. Emma, thank you very much. Well, we are nine days now from the next national selfinflicted budget crisis. Big across the board cuts in the federal budget will hit automatically on march 1. The cuts are designed to be so deep and damaging that they would force the president and the congress to compromise on a better way. But they havent. President obama had this warning today. So these cuts are not smart. They are not fair. They will hurt our economy. They will add hundreds of thousands of americans to the unemployment rolls. This is not an and traction. People will lose their jobs. The Unemployment Rate might tick up again. Pelley mr. Obama wants more tax revenue. The republicans say no and each side said its up to the other to give in. Major garrett is at the white house for us tonight. Major, what next . Well, the continued effort by the white house, scott, to apply public pressure on republicans to relent. This will be done in public to events like we saw today. Its already been done privately. Top government officials are warning businesses they could be harmed by these looming spending cuts. Heres one example weve learned. Last friday top officials at the Agriculture Department warned meat and poultry producers that there might not be enough federal inspectors to keep their processing plants open and operating. These are designed to motivate businesses to plead with republicans to find another way. For now republicans appear prepared to take these spending cuts because they say they will argue to the public theyre more serious about deficit reduction than president obama. Pelley is there any reason to believe that theres progress behind the scenes . There are no behindthescenes negotiations that we are aware of, scott. As a matter of fact, republicans say this is president obamas problem. He needs to solve it with new spending cuts, alternative spending cuts because they refuse to raise taxes again this year. And as for talks, well, all we have are jokes on capitol hill. The top aide House Majority leader eric cantor today said president obama has spent more time playing golf with tiger woods than he has been negotiating with congressional republicans.
