emergency landing. once the plane landed, paramedics mt. the aircraft and checked the vitals of the co-pil co-pilot. he was able to walk off the plane himself and he was then transported to the hospital. as you point out, this is coming just one day after an american airlines flight captain died midair in the cockpit and once that plane landed, he was pronounced dead right there in the cockpit. so that's why so much attention is being focused on this incident today. we know that the faa, often times they will require a medical examination. if you're under 40 years old, you have to do it once a year. over 40 it's twice a a year. what happens in this it case it's unclear. it sounds like this person today will be okay. >> just bizarre the medical emergencies happened back to back like this. mary, i'm curious, how unusual is this? is the crew trained to deal with these types of medical emergencies? >> for the pilots, it's unusual. we were talking yesterday that there have been seven or eight deaths since 1994 of pilot while flying a plane. but falling ill is more common than we might think. worldwide there are probably 25 to 40,000 a year instances of pilots and passengers. but in the the case of a pilot or to pilot, the two professionals in the flight deck, they really do need to land right away. whether or not the pilot is suspected of being gravely ill or not because the federal aviation regulations require two pilots in the cockpit and that is partly why we have such a great safety record. the pilot and co-pilot are equally capable of flying the plane. the difference between them is often the number of hours and stripes on their sleeves. that's why we have two. and make sure we have a safe flight. >> still pretty unnerving for those who don't like flying. thank you. both, appreciate it. turning now to another big story we're following. to the mother of the mass murderer in oregon. cnn learned through tens of thousands of postings that she shared a love of guns with her son. the 26-year-old man who killed nine people and then himself. one posting three years ago under the screen name his mother wrote, quote, i keep two full mags in my glock case and the ars and aks all have load ed mags. no one will be dropping by my house uninvited without acknowledgment. not only did this mother know of her son's guns, but she also reportedly knew he had mental health issues. in fact, a friend told "the new york times" that the mother, a nurse, revealed she put her son in a psychiatric hospital. quote, she said that my son is a real big problem of mine. he has some psychological problems. . sometimes he takes his medication, sometimes he doesn't. and that's where the big problem is when had he doesn't take his medication. i'm going to turn now to evan perez. what more are we learning about the online postings from the moth mother? >> she also talked about her and apparently her sons suffering from being affected byes a burgers syndrome. it's a high functioning form of autism. at last check 10 to 12 in 10,000 will be diagnosed with some form of autism. my son has a pergers. he's very intelligent and is working on a career in film making. my experience and knowledge about the syndrome is paying off. it's something she wanted to discuss. it should be clear that a lot of people are also dealing with autism and they don't carry out o things like this. we should not be making any kind of link between those two things. >> the other cases we have seen there's another underlying condition. the mom, she's been pretty quiet after the shooting. has she responded to these new details? >> e she has not. we have reached out and not heard back. we know she's talked with the investigators and has given them a full account of what she was dealing with with her son. but she's yet to speak out publicly. >> there's a lot of questions about the mom allowing her son to keep guns, if he had these other mental health issues. a lot of unanswered questions. i want to continue this discussion. a a mother enjis going to gun ranges with her son. he has ast pergers before. it matches adam lanza. to be clear, as yes just said, there's no link between the syndrome and planned violence. there have been many studies done on this. people with autism is on the autism spectrum are no more likely to be violent than others. kelly wallace is joining us, who often writes about family issues. thank you for being on with us. >> great to be with you. >> evan just talked about these online postings. when the mother talked about how her son has autism. we learned a e detail from "the new york times" that she took her son to a psychiatric hospital. we don't know exactly for what, though. and yet he had all these guns in the house. what do you make of that? >> she learned nothing from nancy lanza. the parallels are uncanny. she did the exact same thing. the same diagnosis. but what you end up with, parent who is have these children who are on the autism spectrum, is they get their parental blinders on. they know the child better than anyone. in this case, she's a nurse. and a little knowledge is perhaps a dangerous thing. she says e she suffers from some form of autism, so she is the expert and no one can tell her anything about her gun. she didn't let her child out of that hospital until the doctors orders to let him out, but the question is how did he get the guns and why did she provide him with guns and more importantly if she knows he doesn't take his medication, any common sense person, any mother should say guns do not belong in this case. >> there seems a lot of parallels between the newtown shooter. the fact is this shooter was 26 years old. so how much responsibility does the mother have in this case? >> we started a conversation with parents now about how responsible should parents be, especially for what their adult children do. i think it's making sure parents are looking at the warning signs all along. we're talking about ast bergers. was he angry? was he isolated? was he disenfranchised? was he showing some rage? was he putting rage online? was his mother awar of that? if she was, lightbulbs should have gone off to not surround her son with guns. she might think he wouldn't do anything, but maybe she looks at that writing and might think differently. could he hurt someone else or himself. that's a conversation parents are starting to have. >> that brings to the next question. could she face lawsuits here? >> i think that people are going to pity her based on the fact that she's lost her son. what she does in the next few days is important. she needs to break her radio silence and get in touch with reality that she in some way enabled. maybe it wasn't negligence. once you see these things in the news over and over and over again, then she has a warning. she knows her son fits that profile. she knows there are guns in in the house and simply not going to be let off the hook. she would be tried in the court of public opinion even if there are no laws, which can hold her criminally responsible or civilly responsible. but after this, parents are all on notice. >> i'm quickly going to bring in evan. a the what point can someone like her be liable? >> there is some precedent for doing things with people know about an attack. in the dylann roof case, they are bringing charges against somebody who authorities talked to and gave false statements. so it's something that the authorities would look at. but in this case, as you mentioned, she lost her own son. it's hard to see that any prosecutor would try to bring a case like that. i do degree, next few days, very key. >> in the the case of sandy hook, some parents of the victims did file a lawsuit against the estate of adam lanza's mother and said she was negligent for knowing her son was mentally unstable and for allowing him to have access to a rifle that was used in the shooting. in that case, they followed the dots. >> but she's dead so it's an estate. >> it's interesting legal discussion to be had there a as well. casey jordan, appreciate it. and up next, why did a missing american ship sail directly into the eye of a hurricane?

>> i would say two things. first, i u did not know them personally, but from the outpouring of support from their classmates, i can certain ly tel you they were well liked and rmted. when it comes to the training, we begin with safety training the first week of orientation with brand new students fresh out of high school. we do ship board training including fire fighting, damage control training, abandon ship training and that training continues all the way through the four-year curriculum here at the academy. >> i know that their loved ones, a lot of people still holding out hope they are alive. what kind of survival training in particular did they receive? >> well, we do drills on every semester at sea and in their junior year when they ship out on commercial vessels, they are doing drills out there as well. depending on the ship and the circumstance, that may include putting on dawning emergency suits. we certainly begin with that process back here at the academy. we also spend a lot of time qualifying every marine cad et coming through as a lifeboat officer, meaning they know how to lower and run any of the lifeboats on board these vessels. >> this is, obviously, a huge ship. we have been showing pictures of it. 7 9d 0-foot long ship. how bizarre is this that a ship that big could sink and disappear? should ships withstand a a storm like this one? >> i would not want to get into speculation as to what happened out in the eye of hurricane joaquin. i can tell you that when a ship is in heavy weather, they are certainly designed for it. generally speaking, you look to take that weather in the waves directly into the bow or directly on the stern. so if you get into tough weather, you try to motor through or run from. the complicating problem here is what was sent out early a a distress call that they lost propulsion. having lost propulsion, that puts you in harm's way, especially if you approach the waves to the broad and really can upset the stability of that vessel. >> i know you don't want to speculate, but i have to ask you because so many people are wondering this and given your experience and expertise, are you surprised that this ship sailed toward the storm like it did? >> that's really a decision that i'm sure the investigators will revisit looking at all the data the captain used to make that call. i can tell you that all of these officers, especially the ship captains, are really trained to put life safety number one. ship safety and cargo comes in at number two. and things like schedule drift down to a distant three, four and five. while i don't have any information that the captain used to make the call, if you're in jacksonville and it's a tropical storm and you depart under tropical storm, if you look at a projected path that might carry that storm across the bahamas into. the straits of florida, one can certainly rationalize what would be a sound decision to begin that trek heading on the eastern side of the bahamas really expecting a clear shot. if you look at the storm's trajectory, it's really very unique to see a storm like that ramp up as quick as it did, and two, make essentially a u-turn in a couple hundred-mile stretch. i'm sure that came as a bit of a surprise to the crew on board and, again. i don't know the steps they took in the moment to then try to look at e evasive tactics, but i'm sure that will come out in the investigation. >> certainly some of the investigators are looking at. admiral, i'm sorry about your two students and the hope still is that they will be found alive. thank you so much for coming on. >> thank you, pamela, we appreciate your thoughts and prayers. coming up, anger is growing a after humanitarian aid hospital is mistakenly bombed in a u.s. air strike. i'll talk with a a marine who served in afghanistan. what he thinks about the strike and whether troops should even be in the country. plus donald trump goes off during an interview on cnn blasting talk about him dropping out of the race. his response to critics and the media, just ahead. i'm only in my 60's. i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses, i looked at my options. then i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.

how could the u.s. hit this hospital? >> i'm not sure. i think we have seen three different stories come out from the official government and one of the things that i think is clear is that we do need a a call for an independent investigation to find out the facts of what occurred during that strike and how the hospital was not on the radar for a protected safe haven for officials to not attack. >> we know that the hospital said repeatedly that it gave the gps coordinates and e we know the u.s. special operations came there to do a review of the site. in your view, what do you believe happened? would this be in any scenario acceptable collateral damage for the u.s.? >> pam, i know general campbell very well. i've served with him for many years. he's a man of great integrity so he's going to tell it just exactly like it is. and he's going to own the issue as he's doing in front of the world here and so what you heard the general say is that afghan forces requested it and then within the u.s. command authority chain of command, the permission was given. one of the things i would point out in my time in afghanistan and that northern tier was not an area where we fought very much, if at all, and it was very much a quiet area so e think part of the issue is unfamiliarity with the terrain up there. and so that could have contributed to the mistake that was made that general campbell admitted to. i agree that there needs to be an independent investigation and figure out what has happened here. mistakes happen in combat. this was a terrible mistake. i'm sure that every u.s. and allied soldier, sailor, airman and marine on the ground there is very, very sad and disappointed that this mistake happened. i think it's an unfamiliarity with the terrain. we fought to the east and south. kunduz is up north and it's unfamiliar terrain for many of the troops there. >> important context. this mistake has once again put the obama administration's strategy in afghanistan in the spotlight and we heard general campbell talk about it today. you said you know him and he says he touched about the fact that obama's plan was to have only a minimal u.s. force left in afghanistan by 2017. but he said given the terrain and the circumstances that play in afghanistan, that may not be realistic. let's take a listen. >> as i take a look at conditions on the ground as we have to continue to provide taa to our afghan partners, when the president made that decision it did not take into account the change over the last two years. so the courses of actions that i have provided to my senior leadership provide options to adjust that. >> so general, is this another case in your view of president obama indicating one thing, which has been to this point the u.s. withdrawal by 2017 and then his general saying another thing? >> well, i think it's just a good indicator of why time lines are never a good idea. combat is event driven. i can remember when i was in the deputy command general in afghanistan and we had secretary gates come over and we said to him we don't have enough troops here and in my view the afghanistan fight since day one has been underresourced. and secretary gates to his credit said okay, we're going to get you more troops and we have another combat team on the ground in the time frame. so it's a dynamic situation. and timelines are never a good idea in combat because the goal is victory and the goal is to deny sanctuary to terrorists that want to do us harm as they did on 9/11. so the time line idea is never a good idea. >> but sergeant, i know you have some strong opinions about this because you believe we should pull out altogether. why is that? >> well, i think one of the things that the general said is that when he asked for troops in '07, that secretary gates was able to accommodate that. president obama came in 2009 and asked for more troops and that was a part of that surge. in 2010 and '11, we are seeing the same kind of story. more american troops are going to solve these issues in afghanistan. and every time that that fails to me trick late, we see the same call for more troops in afghanistan. now here we are 14 years in the longest war in american history. when is enough enough? >> general, very quickly. how big of a national security threat is the taliban in afghanistan? >> well, i think the taliban threat is really the threat of hosting al qaeda and other types of threats as they did on 9/11, that created the 9/11 attacks. so what you had the history lesson is 14 years ago the taliban was protecting al qaeda within afghanistan providing them sanctuary. so the real issue is rooting sanctuary and not allowing sanctuary. as you heard the general say, it's a about standing up and providing assistance to the afghan police, the afghan army and creating the capacity of the afghan leaders to lead that country and deny sanctuary to those terrorists that would like to do us harm. >> the big question now is how much would happen with the mistake against that hospital under minor efforts there in the region. sergeant path ewes and general, thank you very much. appreciate it. >> thank you, pam. coming up, it has been 20 years since the trial of the century. a look back at the o.j. simpson verdict and the hype that surrounded it including a letter the goldmans sent to o.j. simpson. plus donald trump lashing out over suggestions that he might drop out of the race. hear why he's angry, up next. when i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung,h. it was serious. fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. treatment with xarelto®. hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto®. nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto® is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto®... ...was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. it's here! the most advanced iphone yet. get the new iphone 6s at t-mobile. the network that's double it's lte coverage in the past year. our new extented range lte™ signal now reaches twice as far as before. and it's 4x better in buildings. want more?

>> no, i mean i see this eye thing. >> you don't think this picture reflects any bruising or marks on nicole's face? >> no, i don't. it reflects doing a mu view that we're doing and we're doing makeup. >> and what about the shoes that left bloody footprints at the crime scene? >> if they make shoes that looks like the one in court, i u would have never worn those ugly shoes. >> simpson denies wearing the shoes. but he does something the prosecutors in the criminal trial never could. he proves o.j. simpson owned the same pair of shoes. . >> that's a picture of you. do you believe those were shoes that you owned at that time? >> no. >> wow, cnn investigative correspondent kyra phillips joins me. that's incredible. and the look on his face when that picture was shown, that was the look of someone that's been kugt. >> exactly, just imagine if we would have heard that or seen that prior to this trial, how it changed the dynamic of what happened and how people felt. the case of ron goldman and nicole brown being murdered, it went poof. everybody forgot that two people were murdered and it became centered on race and this country became divide. 60% of americans in this country thought he was innocent. now that's since changed, it's more than 50% of americans say he's guilty 20 years later, but you see the depositions and you think, my god, look at how he lied, look at how dishonest he was. >> and he couldn't see the producing on her face? >> he says it was makeup because they were working on a movie. it's so disappointing. >> you wonder how the goldman family and nicole's family felt watching those tapes. you spoke to the family. >> when i covered this 20 years ago, a lot of the folks involved here couldn't say a lot of things about the investigation. the goldmans have always been so up front and honest and heartfelt and that has not changed. 20 years later, as we sit here and talk about two decades later, what bothers you the most? he says that the sob got away with it. >> and you actually are reporting in this special that you're doing on a note that the goldman family gave to o.j. simpson. tell us about that. >> especially kim, she struggled. what would i say to him. i want to heal but i have so much anger. so what they decided to do was send him a a welcome to your new home card and sent that to him in jail in las vegas. and i want to mention e she just came out with a new book called "media circus." she interviews other families, interviews family members and talks about kind of the media circus and what it's like to be in the spotlight and grieve and deal with these types of situations. it's pretty riveting. that has helped her heal through this process. >> very interesting. would love to take a look at that. kyra phillips, thank you, look forward to watching your special. that special report "the o.j. verdict" airs tonight at 9:00 eastern time. and up next, donald trump goes off during a cnn interview about everyone asking him when he's going to drop out of the race. doesn't he have a point because after all he is the front runner?

>> not even a thought. not even 1% of a a thought. it's a a phoney deal that was perpetrated on the public. i was asked a simple question by chuck todd at "meet the press." i gave a very honorable and honest answer. i said, sure if i was doing terribly like some of these people, i wouldn't stay in. but i'm not. . i'm leading every single poll. one poll came out the other day i'm at 35% nationally. 35% i'm 20 points ahead of everybody else. so they asked me a question. instead of saying i watch these guys at 0 and 1% and ask the same question. will you think about getting out? i'll never get out. you know they are going to be out in the next two weeks. >> i understand where your a take is on them. >> i'm not going anywhere. i'm leading every poll. i'm leading every state. i'm not going anywhere. >> great to hear. >> i gave a very honest answer. i said, look, if for some reason i had no chance and i collapsed and they take that as an, oh, maybe there's weakness in trump. there's no weakness. i'm not going anywhere. i'm going to win and i'm going to make our country great again. i'm not in this to have self-worth. it's happening all over the united states. the economy is doing badly and cities are trying to save money and the first thing they close are mental institutions, if you can believe it. and we have a problem of mental health. this is not the gun didn't shoot. a person shot the gun. and frankly, you're going to have people even if you had great mental health facilities, when his mother heard about it and other people in the area heard about it, some of them said i could see that with him. but others were surprised. it's a a very tough situation. and when you go down to a, people will slip through the cracks and it's happened for thousands of the years. if you go into the future, you're going to have crazy things happen and people slip through the cracks. it's one of those things that's horrible and it's a horrible thing to see. one of the things that you really should focus on is keeping the names down because. i really believe the reason weave more of it than other countries and we do is the copy cat. >> that's the easiest part to control is how much attention you give the shooters. the sheriff was right. you try to give as little attention as possible. it's a real problem and a real mental health problem that we have. >> by the way, we are one week away from the first democratic debate tuesday night, october 13th, that's the cnn democratic debate only on cnn. up next, a 5-month-old baby shot to death, hit by a stray bullet in a cleveland drive by shooting. and now that city is saying enough is enough as the 911 call is released. cleveland's police chief has begged his city to understand that enough is enough. just last week he had another child was killed by gunfire. it was a baby girl just 5 months old and the third child to die in the past month. she is and her mother were caught in a drive by shooting on the way home from the grocery store. tapes captured by frantic attempts to get help. take a listen. >> a little kid just got shot. a little baby just got shot. >> listen to me, honey. i need you to help me. okay, listen. how old is the baby? >> it's a by by. a baby. >> a baby baby? >> like barely 4 months. it's a baby. >> listen, is she awake? >> no, i don't know. i don't know. >> is she breathing? >> no. >> listen to e me. you have to get her -- listen to me. what part of her body was shot? >> we don't know. her mother won't turn her loose. >> that's her mother holding her. gosh, that is hard to listen to. this heinousness of the crime prompted this tweet from cleveland cavaliers lebron james. he says, like seriously man, a by by shot in the chest in cleveland. it's been out of control but it's really ooc. don't fall into the trap. this can't be the only way. accept more from yourselves. very good point there. michael daily, your op-ed is very gripping. you talked about this lild girl, the third child to die in just the past month. you said she wasn't even old enough to go to school. >> it was the same day as the shooting at the community college in oregon. she's only 5 months old. and it's kid after kid after kid who can't be killed in a school shooting because they are not old enough to go to school. >> why that is has this death struck such a chord with you you were getting teary eyed watching the tapes. >> if you have ever had a by by, lu lucky enough to have a baby and you know that fresh smell off the top of their heads. i mean, there's a million times i have ridden with my kids through brooklyn. one of them was around two shootings. we were lucky nothing happened. you have them in that car seat. they have all these federally mandated child safety instructions. there's nothing like that on guns. and the idea that some kid is strapped in a car seat riding with her mother at the start of her life in the united states of america and gets hit by a bul t bullet, that mother, you can hear that mother's voice. >> the sad truth is that it's not an anomaly. your emotion is share d by a lo of people including the police chief there in cleveland. let's take a listen to what he said about this. >> the family, it's tough. it's tough. this should not be happening in our city. we have to do something about it. >> so there's a bit of a dichotomy here because, as you said, this happened on the same day as the oregon shooting massacre. that got so much attention. other shootings this year have gotten so much attention. where's the outrage with these? >> these maniacs who are look ing for attention, they came to this last game came to the conscious decision that you have to kill a lot of people to get attention. the proof of that is we get one kid killed at a time and everybody just shrugs. and we get all ten killed at a time. >> do you think it's because we have sort of accepted this? why do you think that is? >> i think that there's this decision in america that nothing can be done about it. that these things keep happening. there's talk about doing something and nothing is done and everybody keeps running up against the second amendment. . life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and that should apply to babies riding through cleveland. and you can't tell me that the founding fathers when they were talking about muskets to guard us against the british were thinking we're going to get baby after baby after baby killed by stray rounds. >> it's unacceptable and we can't tolerate this as a soci y society. thank you so much, michael daily. and top of the hour now. i'm pamela brown. i want to start with a new admission of a deadly mistake. doctors and children killed as the u.s. drops bombs on a charity hospital in afghanistan. doctors without borders describing scenes of devastation being forced to operate on their own colleagues. as patients lie burned in nearby beds and today general campbell was forced to answer questions about what he admits was the united states decision. >> to be clear, the decision to provide aerial fires was a u.s. decision made within the u.s. chain of command. a hospital was mistakenly struck. we would never intentionally target a protected medical facility. i must allow the investigation to take its course and, therefore, i'm not at liberty to discuss further specifics at this time. however, i assure you that the investigation will be thorough, objective and transparent. >> and amid-the promises of a full investigation came a pretty startling revelation about the future of america's longest-running war. the top commander suggesting president obama's full withdrawal by 2017 may need to be reworked. join i joining e me now from kabul to discuss is nic robertson, senior international editor. the general statement today a about what transpired in the moments before the strike is pretty different from what we were told yesterday. is that right? >> reporter: it is, there was a statement from nato over the weekend that said it was u.s. forces with afghan forces and that it was the u.s. forces that were actually under direct fire from the taliban. now it was the afghan forces under direct fire from the taliban. they were the ones that asked u.s. forces on the fwround to bring in these airstrikes. we have also heard new details from doctors without borders from the witnesses at the hospital, what they saw happen that night as well. >> and i want to talk about that because as we have learned, this was the only hospital in the region, but now doctors without borders have pulled out of the region. they aren't the only ones evacuating, right? >> reporter: no, all the international non-governmental organizati organizations have pulled out. two u.n. group. s have pulled out. so there's no humanitarian assistance in that town. it continues to be fought over. the taliban are holding out in some areas of it. i was talking to people who fled the town today including the mp who has flooded as well. the taliban. still controls all the roads around the town despite the fact the army is in the middle of the town trying to take control of it again. >> nic robertson, thank you for your reporting. let's talk more about this with a senior program manager at the center for civilians in conflict. your group has actually assisted the military directives in afghanistan and other war zones on how to prevent civilian deaths. when you see something like this happen, what's your reaction? a hospital getting bombed. >> it was a terrible, tragic event. our hearts went out to the families and for doctors without borders. it's been working in kunduz and providing emergency medical care. i think it's important that an investigation is under way both by the u.s. military as well as by nato. e we need to learn exactly what went wrong in calling this airstrike. and i think this was just a terrible mistake because you have to -- hospitals are a neutral space where anybody can go and seek immediate medical care. and it is interesting in afghanistan even a lot of lessons were learned on how to prevent civilian casualties and after some tragic events that took place in 2007, 2008 when wedding parties were hit and 80 civil ycivilians were killed. new rules were in training that were implemented to ensure that civilians are better protected during the cross fire. so it is a very tragic incident that happened. it's important to learn what went wrong when some of these directives and lessons were identified and how to minimize harm. we're waiting to see what the investigation results are and hopefully they will be made public soon. >> as the hospital has said, it gave over coordinates to let everyone know where it's located. in this case we learned from general campbell that the u.s. sent a special operations team to do e recognizance of the area, which is what we normally do. from what you see so far, did the u.s. not follow any of the recommendations or directives given? >> they, themselves, have identified what happened when troops are under fire and how they should respond and what restraints they should impose using direct fire. so we'll have to see. it's hard for us to speculate what went wrong and when the authorization was given to use fire in response to the threat and new information is coming out that it was the afghan forces who called in the airstrikes. so we'll have to see what information comes out. >> even if they are called in, they will do their own review before striking a target. >> when you're doing preplanned operations, you have a better idea of how to respond or you have a better idea where the targets are. but when self-defense unstances when you're reacting to under threat and under fire, then sometimes there are different rules of engagement that are applied and you are sort of reacting more on the spot. and a lot of times where even if you look at u.s. and nato for forces, operational data where civilian harm has occurred, some of these new measures that were implement implemented post 2009 and that are in effect we'll have to see what went wrong that in this particular incident that we're not followed. so we'll just have to see rather than us speculating on what happened once the investigation comes out. >> one thing that everyone has come out and agreed on is that this was a mistake. in fact, i'm just being told in my ear moments ago the defense secretary released a statement s saying, when we make mistakes, we own up to them. still a lot more to learn a about this. thank you for coming on to discuss. we want to show you new images coming into cnn. the u.s. coast guard has just released these images from the search area of the cargo ship that's been missing off the bahamas since last week. take a look here. it lost propulsion and left in floundering in the path of hurricane joaquin. 28 americans and 5 polish nationals were on board when it disappeared. coast guard patrols found a 225-square mile debris field including a damaged lifeboat and survival suits. more breaking news at this it hour. tense moments on board a u.s. jet liner for the second day in a row. a passenger plane was diverted because of a medical emergency inside the cockpit. united flight 1614 from houston to san francisco was diverted after the co-pilot became ill and passed out. the plane landed safely and the co-pilot was able to walk off the aircraft on his own and was taken to a hospital. just yesterday an american airlines flight had to be diverted when the pilot died in the cockpit. that plane, which was bound from phoenix to boston, was diverted to syracuse, new york. and just into cnn, the justice department is about to let thousands of federal inmates get out of jail. it announced that about 6,000 prisoners will be released at the end of the month. it will be the largest ever one-time release of federal prisoners. evan perez is working this st y story. we know, we both covered the justice department. reform has been top of the agenda for loretta lynch. why is this happening now? >> this is something that began under the former attorney general eric holder. it's something was on his mind to tackle the disparity, for instance, in the sentences people got for possession of crack cocaine versus cocaine. and the u.s. sentencing commission ordered that basically prisoners who had qualified for those har herb sentences be given new senten s sentences. what we have now is a commission with instructions being carried out. they have decided these people can be let out. the average time that they have served is about nine years. and according to people we have talked to, a third of them are going to be deport ed. they are going to be turned over to be deporlted because they are not u.s. citizens. and this is all happening, obviously, as cities around the country are experiencing a surge in violent crime and murders. this is something that the director of the fbi said in a briefing we had at fbi headquarters. he said i'm very worried about this. this is something that's going to make me think a little more thoughtfully about criminal justice reform. it's something now happening on capitol hill. the white house is behind this. this is all part of the effort to save money and the amount of money we save on imprisoning people. >> as you point out, they are concerned about the rise in violence and doesn't have a good answer as to why it is. >> no one knows what's at work. the juxtaposition of the large release, the largest ever, that's going to start happening at the end of this month at a time when cities are seeing this increase in crime. it's going to make some people think very concerned. >> evan perez, thank you so much. up next, was joe biden fueling speculation about his own possible run for the white house? the new questions about his plan one week before the first democratic debate on cnn. plus why does marco rubio skip so many votes in the senate? he's raising eyebrows with a new explanation and he's now responding to a campaign prank from front runner donald trump. and new questions about the oregon shooter's mother. what did she know about her son?

"the new york times" columnist was the first to write about it and now politico pointing to multiple sources saying biden was the one that got the ball rolling. so what was your reaction when you learned this had? is it surprising biden would leak this information himself? >> well, i mean, we know that joe biden talks to lots of people about what was o obviously a time of grieving for him. it was an emotional moment. so exactly how the story came about is less important than the fact that he is really seriously considering this and that he's seeing the numbers that could potentially allow him a path here. and certainly his son encouraged him to run is a huge factor that's weighing on his decision. >> but some could say so far he's been this emotional figure, but this sort of sheds a new light on him if he leaked this information that perhaps he was using his son for political advantage. do you they that's a fair perception? >> well, i think that that's something that the voters will have to decide and look closely at politico's reporting on this. there's obviously a lot of people out there who don't want joe biden to get in the race. so i think that it can create a perception of that reporting that he'd have to deal with on the campaign trail, but he certainly has a lot of sympathy from the public right now. he certainly is a beloved figure among the democrats. the big question for him is whether he actually can raise enough money to mount a run. he's never been good at that in the past. and doesn't like doing it. hillary clinton certainly has got a lot of forces behind her that will be difficult for him to compete with. >> and speaking of hillary clinton, she seems to be distancing herself from president obama on another major issue. of course, that is immigration. she did an interview with spanish language and calls the president's deportation policies too harsh. why do you think she's making this distinction now? >> well, i don't think this was surprising at all. in fact, i think it was really a smart move by her campaign this week. what they are trying to do is change the conversation. she's been in the barrel, as we know, for quite some time over the e-mail controversy. and this it is an issue where she could really help herself with latino voters by drawing strong contrasts with the obama administration. the number of deportations went up sharply under president obama and a lot of latinos were not happy about that. she has to distance herself from hum photo just on immigration but other policy areas as well. syria, the keystone pipeline, we're seeing her do that. it's something that will grab the voters' attention. it starts a substantiative policy debate, which is where she wants the conversation to go, and takes the campaign to a new phase. >> i just have to ask you, though, because some would say that in her comments she's ignoring the president's new immigration proposal, which would mean more deportations of criminals, undocumented immigrants and fewer deportations of family members of children who were born here or people who have lived here for more than five years. >> right, i mean, those are slight distinctions and not necessarily the ones that to clinton's advantage to talk about on the campaign trail. she's trying to go for the hearts and minds of latino voters talking in a recent interview about how important it is not to break up families and how she would have been less aggressive than the obama administration. these contrasts are things that can help her grab voters' attention and get the conversation going in the direction that she wants it to. >> thank you so much, appreciate it. >> thanks. the democratic presidential candidates will be on stage together for the first time at the cnn facebook democratic debate. it's next tuesday night, october 13th, starting at 8:30 eastern. and up next, marco rubio in the hot seat for his voting attendance record in the senate. how he responded to criticism that he's putting his presidential ambitions above the people he represents. plus new details about how the shooting during the oregon tragedy was raised.

marco rubio's rifles accuse him of not fully carrying out the duties of the job he already has. he's missed more votes than any other senator running president. his campaign says he's going to miss a a key vote today because he will be on the stump in new hampshire. even so rubio is defending his voting record. e he told "today" show his job is more about casting votes. >> are you placing your own personal ambitions above your responsibilities to your constituents down in florida? >> no, a majority of the job of being a senator is not walking on to the senate. floor and lifting your finger on a noncontroversial issue is saying which way of you're going to vote. it's the committee work and that continues forward. when you run for president, everyone that's run in the past has faced this. there are times you're not going to be there. we have cancelled events to make votes. especially if we can make a difference or a high profile. >> you don't think you're putting your ambitions above? >> my ambitions are for the country and for florida and that's why i'm running for president. >> i'm joined by columnist kurt and politico media reporter dylan byers. kurt, i'm going to start with you. we heard rubio explaining his voting record. do you think what he said was a smart political move? is he selling his constituents short? >> well, this is about the silliest critique of a conservative senator that i have ever heard. i mean, it's just ridiculous. we have a president who lives on the golf course who made himself famous for voting present when he was in the illinois legislature. but now it's like the big issue. i would think liberals would be excited that he wasn't there casting conservatives vote. the real problem with marco rubio is not whether or not he votes. the people of florida will make that determination. the real problem with marco rubio, especially to conservatives, is he still hasn't answered the questions on immigration. he flirted with amnesty, he cohorted with chuck schumer and the gang of eight, before conservatives will back him, and i want to. my family is cuban immigrants too. but he has questions to answer before i will. >> dylan, just yesterday rubio told cnbc he would be there for votes with major national significance or one that would make a difference. you heard that echoed in that interview with matt lauer. what do you make of the fact he's missing a vote on defense spending? is that a contradiction? >> i think to a degree. rubio's defense has been i'm busy running for president and there's more to bye-bye being a senator than casting every vote. i would say for many conservatives, maybe present company excluded, the bigger issue is missing out on the planned parenthood votes. because if you lock at the media coverage of that, no one has gone harder than some of the other right-wing news outlets. that's clearly a sticking point for conservatives and also something that jeb bush can use to hit rubio and has. >> and we have heard it from jeb bush. we have heard it from donald trump as well. we have seen rubio all over the place. e we just talked about two interviews. we reached out to his campaign over and over again but they have passed. his last appearance was a tense interview with chris cuomo in early august. what might this say about his media strategy? >> well, i would say two things. one, rubio generally has not done as mtv hany tv hits. he might go to a place like the "today" show that has a huge d audience or fox news where he's catering to the voters he's trying to court. but is it strange he hasn't been on cnn for two months, of course. if you look across the republican field, almost every other candidate has come to cnn. so that's a little strange and that might reflect the tense interaction that he had with chris cuomo and the longer he goes without going on cnn, the more of an issue it will be. >> someone who has been on quite a bit, donald trump. he was on this morning. he sent a prank care package to rubio's office. in it was a case of bottled water with trump's face on it. listen to how rubio responded when asked about it on the to y "today" show. >> when people are rining for office, they are looking for something that's going to give them a competitive advantage. if they think talking bad about someone is going to give them that, that's what they are going to do. apparently the water is high quality water. it's topnotch water ta he sent us. i'm grateful for the gift. >> e he didn't seem to mind that giflt. >> what do you make of the fact that both trump and jeb are teaming up in a sense to target rubio? what's your take on that? >> i think it says something good about rubio. it says he's the man to go after. jeb, he's going down the drain. he's failed his strategy of i'm going to gatt. er a lot of money and wait you out and you conservatives are going to be stuck with me. it's become a miserable failure. he's a punch line, no one cares about him. i literally don't know a conservative who says, hey, i'm for jeb. that never happens. i love the way rubio handles trump because trump is kind of a blow hard. and rubio comes back being the much younger, a lot more mature, i love his good humor in responding to the bottled water thing. which i thought was a funny prank, but i thought rubio handled it well. rubio's prons books problem is not his presentation. he's really good. he would serve himself well going on any show that would have him. with very few exceptions. but the real problem with rooub is not trump or his votes in the senate. it's convincing us conservatives we can trust him because right now that bridge, it might not be burned, but it's a little charred. >> he has been criticized for his lack of experience, lack of leadership by bush and trump as we have heard. thank you so much to both of you. >> thank you. coming up, a closer look at whether the oregon shooter could have been stopped. new reports that his

contact your health plan for the latest information. the man behind thursday's ma massacre in oregon was 26 years old, but new questions are emerging on how much responsibility his mother should take for his actions. the ucc shooter killed nine and wounded nine before killing himself on thursday. cnn learned through postings the mother shared her son's fascination with guns. she knew he had mental health issues. a friend told "the new york times" that the mother revealed she put her son in a psychiatric hospital. quote, she said that my son is a real big problem of mine. he has some psychological problems. sometimes he takes his medication, sometimes he doesn't. and that's where the big problem is when he doesn't take his medication. dan simon is live in roseburg with more on this. dan, what did these online postings reveal specifically? >> reporter: well, let's take a step back and look at what the father said. he said she had no idea that his son had had any weapons, let alone more than a dozen of them. now you have the mother who seems to know about all the guns and she herself seems to be a gun enthusiast. in these online postings, she acknowledges ta her son had a developmental disorder specifically asperger's. there's no link between asperger's and violence, but it raises questions about what she knew about the full mental profile of her son. first of all, on the guns, i want to give you a snapshot of what she said on yahoo!. i keep all my mags full. i keep two full mags in my glock case and the ars and aks all have loaded mags. no one will be dropping by my house uninvited without acknowledgme acknowledgment. clearly, this is somebody who is passionate about weapons. now let's talk about the asperger's. this is what she wrote on yahoo!. my son has asperger's. he's no babbling idiot nor is his life worthless. he's very intelligent and working on a career in film making. my 18 years worth of experience with and knowledge about asperger's syndrome is paying off. clearly, there are more questions than answers here. a lot more questions than answers. already you're seeing the comparisons between that situation and what you had in newtown, connecticut. adam lanza, a situation where you had a young man who had a whole host of mental issues with tons of access to weapons. weapons provided by his mother. so once again, the questions that you had in connecticut was there responsible parenting there and most people say no. the questions now being raised once again in oregon. >> and we're going to have that discussion, dan simon, thank you so much. on that note, the mother of the oregon gunman hinted of struggles she had raising her s son. did she know of the danger he would pose? that's the big question. there are some parents who do live with that torture, the fear that their child could one day hurt others. cnn profiled one mother in 2013. her son 14 at the time heard voices and some of them told him to kill his family. stephanie joins me now. thank you so much for being here with us to share your story. we're also joined by sunny hostin. i'm curious what your reaction was when you first heard how this mother enjoyed guns with her son and how she had also reportedly put him into a psychiatric facility at one point. what was your reaction? >> i guess as a mom, i'm not sure what her background is. i don't know if she was a single mom or married, i was a single mom at the time when my son was first diagnosed. you want to do things to fulfill that void of a male figure in the family. i would take my son fishing. i would do things that a father would normally do with their children. so i really didn't think much of that. as far as if she knew her son had an illness at the time, i'll give you my son attempted suicide when he was 13. and my boyfriend was starting to show him how to use a rifle. after that he completely cut him off from any type of weapons or anything like that. and it's just depends on how educated you are when it comes to mental health. luckily when he was first diagnosed, i learned a lot about it. i taught my son about it. it just depends the type of background you have. >> and just to be clear, she was divorced several years ago so you raise an interesting point. she was raising him on her own. and perhaps trying to fill that void of not having a father figure around. but i'm curious, do you think that as the mother, she takes any blame in this or has any responsibility though her son was 26 years old? >> honestly, i believe after the age of 18 it's solely upon that person who has the diagnosis. sadly, all mothers are blamed for what goes on in their children's lives, even though they are an adult. it's difficult when you have someone who is an adult and they have a diagnosis and you cannot get a guardianship or power of attorney because they are an adult. you can't control when they do after the fact. it's sad because i worry. i worry for my son because right now he's 16 and he's doing okay and taking his medications, but once he turns 18 and learns that he's an adult and he can do whatever he'd like to do, it's scary because e he can easily just stop going to his psychiatric visits, drop all his meds. what can i do? i can't force him unless i have guardianship over that. >> there's only so much control you can have. sunny, i'm going to turn to you. under what circumstances could this mother face criminal charges? because after all, they did live under the same roof. she allowed him to have these guns and she knew he was receiving treatment of some kind. we don't know for what. what kind of liability is this? >> i think the bottom line is the operative fact here is that this was an adult child. someone that's 26. there has been a clear movement over the past couple decades that parents are held accountable stums criminally for the actions of their children. this is not a new concept. we talk often times about contributing to the minor behavior. so there is that notion. but when you're talking about a 26-year-old adult who is living with you, i see the only way you would be held accountable is if she knew he was planning these actions or she helped him plan the actions. i think we have seen that in some sorts of situations. >> dylann roof. >> his friends not doing anything. >> who has been charged. >> and prosecutors look for accountability for the victims. and i think she could possibly if we learn that she somehow had some sort of involvement, she could have some liability. i think what we also need to think about is whether or not she tuly had these guns in the home fully loaded knowing that her son did suffer from mental illness. there aren't necessarily any laws in place for that right now and there's a lot of debate about gun control, but shouldn't there be some safeguards in place for this kind of situation? >> certainly raises a lot of questions. she's spoken to investigators, but she's remained silent in terms of speaking to the media. sunny hostin, stephanie, thank you for coming on. stephanie, i hope your son continues to progress. >> thank you. still ahead, a couple vacationing in brazil walks

but i've managed.e crohn's disease is tough, except that managing my symptoms was all i was doing. and when i finally told my doctor, he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. and that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and

joint damage. enbrel, the number one rheumatologist-prescribed biologic. killed after mistakenly driving into a slum. police say she was a using waze but it gave her the wrong direction. take us through the time lining what a horrific story here. >> that's right. a terrible tragedy, and it all started here in rio de janeiro when this elderly couple decided to go out on the town, dinner out, and they decided to go across the bay about a 45-minute drive. they tried to enter into their waze application, a popular avenue. but instead of avenue, they wrote street after the name, and the application ended up taking them into one of the most dangerous neighborhoods, it's controlled by drug gangs what happened next is unclear, but it was nighttime and someone or some people opened up fire, their car was riddled with least 20 bullets. the woman, 70-year-old woman, hit, her husband, who was driving, he managed to get the car out, drive to a hospital, police believe a stack of silver candlesticks in the trunk helped protect him. when he got to the hospital, his wife died. a terrible accident. reminding people of all 0 the security issues in a city that's going to be hosting the olympics in just ten months' time. and of course, going to be receiving thousands of people who don't know their way around. >> apparently, there's been a rash of robberies on the area's most popular beaches. officials have a lot of work to do leading up to the summer olympics. shasta darlington, thank you very much. coming up right here, in newsroom, a major scandal involving two fantasy sports

multibillion dollar industry. draft king plans to pay out $2 billion just in prizes this year. controversial erupted. an employee at draft king who allegedly had access to inside information won $350,000 by playing on the rival fan duel website. did he profit from inside information? the two companies insist that he did not. but they've banned employees from playing fantasy sports. stev steven, you've been looking at fantasy sports these two sites, why are these big money fantasy sports sites not considered gambling? i have to admit, i was surprised to learn that. >> 2006 internet gambling ability specifically gave them an extension, the sponsors in congressing lobbied to give themmthe themmen them exemption. it's not gambling, it's friends playing against each oether. they never expected fantasy gambling to get the money and interest it's become. so in congress, they are calling for hearings to examine this. there's a big debate and many, including gambling addiction experts will say this is gambling. >> you go online to gamble. it's highly regulated by the government. >> yes. >> this, they're free agents, right? >> that's the point right now. one of the stories about today's story, is that since it's not regulated, it was a form -- it was a form of insider trading which is illegal in the stock market. he had all of this information about who was betting on which players, and putting which players on their team so he went on the other side knowing that and said i'm going to construct a team favorable. >> because it's not regulated by the government -- >> nothing illegal about that. >> looking at these huge corporate investors, draft kings has backing from major league baseball, nhl. fan duel, comcast, time warner. do you think this corporate investment bestows legitimacy on the website. >> completely. you hit the nail on the head. i think it's more than that. you know, even with legalized gambling, there are warnings, this is gambling. your family knows if you're going to atlantic city, they know there might be a problem. there's a sense here that in is fun. fantasy itself has been around for decades and people played it among themselves, not for money. so the sense is if you're playing this, obsessing over this, it's just fun. and that's part of the problem, i think, right now. >> and as we know, gambling's highly addictive. interesting to see from politicians how they'll handle this, will it be regulated? steven malanga. that does it for me. i'll be back tomorrow filling in for brooke baldwin.
