i'm reena ninan. we begin with a possible break into the investigation of the crash of egyptair flight 804. sources in the u.s. and egypt tell cbs news the plane's flight data recorders, or black boxes, have been located but not yet retrieved in the area where wreckage from the plane has turned up. conflicting reports say the devices have not been located. the plane went down thursday, killing all 66 people on board. holly williams is in alexandria, egypt. >> reporter: the first images of debris from egyptair flight 804 show the plane's wreckage-- a life vest and luggage. egyptian authorities say human remains were also found in the several area in the southern mediterranean sea, where they're still looking for more wreckage and the bodies of those who were on board. the plane's flight recorders, or sold black boxes, could help answer what happened on the passenger jet with recordings from the cockpit in the minutes before the plane crashed. phillip balm is the editor of aviation magazine. >> presumably, they were desperately trying to aviate or fly the aircraft and recover it. we'll also get all of the readings from all of the different pieces of equipment on board the aircraft, which should give us an indication of what was going wrong. >> reporter: it was after 2:00 a.m. local time on thursday that the plane suddenly swerved, turning 90 degrees to the left, then spinning in a circle to the right, all the while plummeting, falling off the radar and into the water. data published by avherald, an aviation industry web site, appears to list automated transmissions from the airplane just before it disappeared from radar screens. they indicate smoke in the bathroom and in the avionics bay, then alerts from the plan's flight control systems. >> it implies there was something more significant that took place. it's very rare that you will a fire that will simply, you know, take over the aircraft and result in the aircraft actually, ultimately, crashing in the space of three minute. >> reporter: according to aviation experts, a loss of pressure could also have set off the smoke alarms. mechanical failure, human error, and terrorism are all possible causes of this crash. and, reena, so far, none of have been ruled out. >> ninan: holly williams in alexandria. thank you. more on the egyptair investigation we turn now to mark phillips at charles de gaulle airport in france. >> reporter: there were 15 french citizens among the passengers on the plane. as it happens, just this morning here, the french foreign minister, jeans marc ayrault, met with about 100 family members of the victims, and i'm afraid he could not provide the answers that they were looking for, despite new information that has been coming from the signals sent from the plane. the phrase that the french are using here is that there is still no favored hypothesis. in other words, they're keeping all the of their options open. here at charles de gaulle, they've tightened security. they're doing an investigation to see whether there could have been anything untoward put on that plane, but thus far, there are no conclusion that score, either. >> ninan: mark phillips at charles de gaulle airport in france, mark, thank you. and there's breaking news tonight from afghanistan where the u.s. military carried out an airstrike targeting taliban leader akhtar mansour. officials are not confirmed that manned sour was killed in the attack near the pakistani border pain gunman who caused a security scare at the white house friday remains in the hospital. authorities say jesse oliveri of ashland, pennsylvania, approached a checkpoint and refused to drop his gun before secret service officers shot him. a source tells us olveery may have been attempting a so-called suicide by cop. gun control is once again a major issue in the race for the presidency after donald trump was endorsed by the national rifle association friday. hillary clinton has an event in florida today, addressing mothers who lost children to gun violence. here's julianna goldman. >> crooked hillary clinton is the most antigun, anti-second amendment candidate ever to run for office. >> reporter: around with his n.r.a. endorsement, donald trump spent less time detailing his own gun proposals and instead tore into hillary clinton. >> hillary wants to disarm vulnerable americans in high-crime neighborhoods whether it's a young, single mom in florida or a grandmother in ohio. >> reporter: clinton hit back tweeting, "you're wrong, donald trump, we can uphold second amendment rights while preventing senseless gun violence." with a majority of voters saying gun policy is important in the november election, trump and clinton are drawing their battle lines. >> the gun lobby is the most powerful lobby in washington. >> reporter: the democratic front-runner has called for stricter gun laws, including universal background checks, and gun-free zones for schools and public facilities. >> they have figured out how to intimidate elected officials at all levels who basically just stop thinking about this problem because they're too scared to stand up to the n.r.a. >> reporter: trump is proposing getting rid of gun-free zones, cas hauled for making conceal carry permits valid across the country and is against an assault rifle ban. but after the sandy hook elementary school massacre, trump applauded president obama's speech calling for stricter gun laws tweeting, "president obama spoke for me and every american." tonight, clinton will be at an event with parents who have lost children to gun violence, including the mother of trayvon martin. reena. >> ninan: julianna goldman in washington. thank you. george zimmerman has apparently sold the gun he used to kill trayvon martin. a man in daytona, florida, bid $150,000 for the gun and said he thought he won the auction, but zimmerman later claimed someone else offered $250,000. zimmerman's web site says the auction is over and the winning bidder is being contacted. the c.d.c. says 279 pregnant women in the u.s. and its territories have tested positive for the zika virus. most zika cases in the u.s. so far have been in people who traveled frotraveled from latint health officials expect mosquito-borne enfekses will occur here soon. ceeps news chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook is here. we're talking about more than 150 pregnant women who have tested positive for the zika virus. >> reporter: right here in the united states. >> ninan: right here in america. how concerned should women be? >> reporter: perspective, first of all. these are the women who have gotten the zika virus because of travel, because they went somewhere else, they got infected down in, say, brazil and came back up to here. in a few cases there has been sexual transmission. so far we don't know of a case from a mosquito in the united states biting someone who is uninfected and giving them what is called local transmission of zika. if thams, there is going to be a lot of concern. >> ninan: on how will we know if mosquitos, when they are infected with the zika virus? >> reporter: we may not know right away, and that lag is something that is of concern to public health officials. i mean, if that happens, somebody comes from brazil, say, they come up here, they've got zika in their blood. they infect a local mosquito, that mosquito bites somebody else. since 80% of the time we think people have no symptoms, that person may go around having zika in their blood without us knowing it, and then another mosquito may bite that person and get infected and we start having local transmissions. what public health people are doing is setting traps. we were down in houston in harris county, and they went out there and put traps in the sewers and traps in the wetlands. it's doing carbon dioxide, and certain types of chemicals and they get attracted and come in. they take them, they smooive them up, they take thim to a lab and say what's inside? what kind of viruses? if they find a zik zika virus ia local mosquito, they sound the alarm. >> ninan: a new york city police officer is under investigation after cell phone video showed him pointing his gun at a crowd of people watching officers make an arrest. demarco morgan has the latest. >> reporter: this cell phone video shows plainclothes officer risel martin arrested 21-year-old deyshawn bettway, suspected of riding an illegal dirt bike. >> his head is in between his legs and he's sweding. >> reporter: ronnie pinkerton recorded the video from his cell phone. you see the officer pull out his gun and point it at bystanders. >> when i saw the gun, my heart raced a little bit. i was like is he really going to shoot? is he going to shoot right now? >> reporter: in a separate video taken just a few moments later, martinez is seen punching spectators in the face. >> he looked like he was going somewhere else. >> jahnico harvey was charged with menaces and disorderly conduct. >> it's just another example how police can, honestly, do whatever they want and get away with it. >> reporter: the officer seen point higz gun and delivering that sucker punch has been stripped of his gun and badge and placed on modified assignment while the nation's largest police department investigates his actions. reena. >> ninan: cell phones documenting so much now, memarco. a san francisco police chief was forced out of office this past week over accusation of racial bias in the police department. carter evans tells us about the challenge of new chief is facing. >> you got a good captain. >> reporter: acting san francisco police chief toney chaplin has his work cut out for him. >> reforms, reforms, reforms. >> reporter: chaplain took on the job thursday after mayor ed lee told embattled chief greg suhr it was time to step down. >> the progress we have made has been meaningful but it hasn't been fast enough. >> reporter: the move came within hours of the city's latest officer-involved shooting where san francisco police killed an unarmed 29-year-old woman suspected of stealing a car. thursday's shooting was the latest in a string of racially charged incidents that have sparked outrage in the bay area. the protests gained momentum after this video surfaced last december. >> oh, my god! drop it! >> reporter: police opened fire on a man holding a knife. five officers fired more than 20 shots. >> oh, my god! >> reporter: court documents also reveal several officers exchanged text messages littered with racist language. chaplain, a 26-year veteran of the san francisco police, was already leading a task force to reform the department, and there are two things he wants to implement immediately. >> the body camera rollout so we have another set of eyes. and the other thing is our use-of-force policy. >> reporter: the acting chief has the support of the police union and the n.a.a.c.p. but, reena, chaplain still won't say if he's willing to be the city's permanent police chief. >> ninan: carter evans in los angeles. thank you. a giant fuel tank from the defunct space shuttle program was slowly
