Im jim axelrod, and this is the western edition of the broadcast. We begin tonight in france with a story that sound like something out of a hollywood thriller that stars three very real american heroes. One is an air force airman, another an Army National guardsman, and the third is a pal from california they were traveling with on a train from anthony amsterdam to paris. Thats when the three americans jumped into action. Charlie dagata picks up the story. Reporter video that appears to be shot inside the train shows the suspect face down and tied up. You can see a rifle he was carrying and one of the american men who brought him down after seeing a french passenger first confront the gunman, 22yearold National GuardsmanAlek Skarlatos and his two friends moved in. I saw a guy entering the train with an a. K. And a handgun, and i just looked over at spencer and said, lets go, go. And he jumped up, and i followed behind him by about three seconds. Reporter u. S. Air force airman firstclass stone tackled the gunman, and skarlatos knocked him unconscious with the butt of his rifle. Fellow friend Anthony Sadler and british passenger chris norman pinned the attacker down and stripped him of his weapons. We caught up with norman outside the Police Station in arras. Why you chose to move forward rather than hiding . What else is there to do . Either you sit down and you die or you get up and you die. Reporter stone was released from a French Hospital this afternoon. The gunman sliced into him with a box cutter, almost cutting off his thumb. But even wounded, friends say stone treated others. A mans throat had been slit and he was bleeding profusely. And spencer, who has some paramedic training, just clogged up his neck so he wouldnt die. Reporter skarlatos parents, karen and emmanuel from roseburg, oregon, say they never doubted the young mens courage. The fact that they saved all those lives and had that instinct and the guts to do what they did. Reporter when Police Arrested the gunman at the next stop, they found an arsenal an assault rifle, a handgun and several magazine clips. The 26yearold moroccan suspect, pictured here by french media, was on the terror watch list of three countries, including france. The French Interior minister confirmed today that the suspect has been on their radar since a tipoff by spanish authorities. But, jim, despite that, he was able to board a highspeed train armed to the teeth, apparently bent on the massacre of civilians. But he picked the wrong train. Axelrod Charlie Dagata in france tonight with a story of some real american heroes. Thank you. Tonight, at least 68 large fires are burning in seven western states.

Axelrod carter evans in okanagan, washington, thank you. It was a horrifying scene in england today as an air show ended in disaster. A military jet crashed on to a busy road about 60 miles south of london. At least seven people were killed. Although, as Jonathan Vigliotti reports, the pilot made it out alive and is in critical condition. Reporter the daring stunt you are about to see is hard to watch knowing how it ends. Well be getting the Emergency Services in soon. Just stay where you are, please. Reporter minutes before the crash, a pilot pulled his world war iiera t7 jet up towards the clouds as he prepared for whats known as a loop maneuver. Hundreds watched on at the shoreham air show in sussex as the pilot successfully flipped over, but he soon started to barrel down to the ground. He tried to pull up, but not fast enough.

At this point, its unclear what caused todays tragic accident. Jim, Officials Say there are still people missing, and they expect more casualties as the search continues. Axelrod Jonathan Vigliotti covering for us tonight in our london newsroom. Thank you. Now to president ial politics. Cbs news has learned Vice President joe biden, weighing the idea of a White House Run of his own, met privately in washington today with democratic senator Elizabeth Warren of massachusetts. Warren has yet to endorse any candidate. On the republican side, roughly 20,000 people showed up at a stadium in mobile, alabama, last night, not for a preseason Football Game but for a Donald Trump Campaign rally. Heres Julianna Goldman. Reporter he didnt fill the stadium friday night, the donald trump told the crowd shes proving the doubters wrong. The reason people like what im saying is because i want to put that energy whatever the hell kind of energy it is i dont know if its screwed up, if its good, if its genius whatever it is, i know how to do things. Reporter trump arrived in typical fanfare, first in a flyover in his 757. Now i know how the great billy graham felt because its the same feeling. We love billy graham. We love billy graham. cheers and applause we love donald trump cheers and applause reporter but the republican frontrunners stop in alabama was strategic, a signal hes confident his coalition can carry him into march when a cluster are cluster of Southern States hold primaries. Why do i need a pollster when every day theres a new poll . Reporter while trumps candidacy has been long on controversy and short on specifics, supporters last night explained his appeal. Its time for new blood. This guy is not a politician and they think thats a bad thing. To me, thats a good thing. Reporter trump came under criticism this week for waiting two days to denounce a pair of brothers in benefit whbrothersbd a homeless hispanic man one saying last night trumps rhetoric was as fiery as ever and had this to say about citizen for children born in the u. S. Mexico doesnt do it, other places dont do it. Very few places dont do it. Were the only place, just about, thats stupid enough to do it. Reporter as trump solidifies his lead, there are other signs he recognizes consequences of his rhetoric. Jim, last week, the Trump Organization reached out to a Hispanic Media group, asking for a meeting to make amends and to resolve their differences. Axelrod Julianna Goldman in our washington newsroom, thank you. Lets bring in cbs News Elections director anthony salvanto. Anthony, it was a top item on the republicans todo list after the last election winning the hispanic vote, not a job trumps comments are making easier. The Republican Party said after 2012 they learned the hard way. What happens in the primaries doesnt stay in the primaries. There are a lot of voters, particularly hispanic voters who are watching now who might remember the tone and tenor of this immigration debate. That makes it harder for the party to win them. They lost this by a lopsided vote last night. And if that happens again their road to the white house gets a lot harder. Axelrod donald trump may have captured the heads so far, but how is the issue of immigration being so prominent in the republican race for the nomination affecting other candidates . Immigration divides the Republican Party. About as many say they favor a path to citizenship as might favor some form of deportation. For a candidate like jeb bush, who disagrees with donald trump, he has to walk a bit of a fine line because its the more conservative side of that debate that says they will vote on the issue and use it as a litmus test on their nomination choice. Axelrod anthony salvanto, thank you. The movie straight outta compton, the film has drawn criticism for not telling the whole story about the groups cofounder, dr. Dre. As Jericka Duncan reports, he is now apologizing for violence ainst women. Reporter in an extraordinary statement to the New York Times, dr. Dre said, i apologize to the women ive hurt.

Dre, beat me mercilessly. That was not in the movie. According to barnes, it should not have been because the truth is too ugly for a general audience. The New York Times spoke with other women this week who shared a similar experience. Rolling stone contributing editor Anthony Decurtis its almost as if erasing that part of their history was a greater offense in a way than than peoples feelings about their having done it in the first place. Everybody knows that it happened. Reporter why do you think that apology from dr. Dre came so quickly . Well, dre is dre is a titan of industry at this point. I think he understood that it was important for him. It was the responsible, adult thing to do, for him to apologize. Digital media has made this possible. Things dont disappear the way they used to. When is an apology done or when do you need to do it again . Reporter apple released a statement about dr. Dres apology, saying, we believe his sincerity, and after working with him for a year and a half, we have every reason to believe that he has changed. Jim . Axelrod jericka, thank you.
