Good evening. Its great to have you with us on a friday night. We begin with the controversy over that moment at a donald trump event. What was said about muslims and president obama. The republican front runner, z listening to a supporter. Tonight, you will hear it for yourself. As trump cancelling an appearance. Hes david wright. Reporter tonight, donald trump is under fire for the way he handled this question. We have a problem in this country, its called muslims. We know our current president is one. You know hes not even an american. We need this question. This is the first question. But anyway, we have Training Camps brewing where they want to kill us. Thats my question. When can we get rid of it . Were going to be looking at a lot of different things. And you know, a lot of people are saying that, a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. Were going to be looking at that and plenty of other things. Reporter trump did not challenge the mans claim president obama is muslim. Today his campaign tells abc news he had trouble hearing the question. Adding, the bigger issue is that obama is waging war against christians in this country. Their religious liberty is at stake. Trumps opponents say he should never have let the question slide. If someone brought that up, i would say, no, lets clear some things up for the rest of the audience. I think you have an obligation as a leader to do that. Reporter thats what john mccain did at a town hall in 2008 when one of his supporters called obama an arab. Hes an arab. Hes not . No. No, maam. Hes a decent family man. Citizen, that i just happen to have disagreements with. Reporter but for years trump has fanned conspiracies that obama is not american, as recently as a few months ago. Do you accept that president obama was born in the u. S. . I really dont know. Reporter more than half the people who support trump believe obama is a muslim. Today the Trump Campaign said the questioner was right to worry about terrorist Training Camps in the united states. Trump insists they exist. The white house says thats absurd. I havent seen anybody produce any evidence to substantiate the claim that there are. I think the vast majority of americans would take a rather dim view of those views. Reporter tonight trump was due to appear here in south carolina. He cancelled last minute. He said it was because he was closing a significant deal. Thank you. Hillary clinton tweeting, trump not denouncing false statements is wrong. And cecelia vega, with what else she said. Reporter david, tonight Hillary Clinton is calling on donald trump to start behaving like a president. Take a listen. Well, i was appalled. Reporter Hillary Clinton in new hampshire, saying donald trump is now taking a time out so he can think hard about last night. He knew or he should have known that what that man was asking is not only way out of bounds, it was untrue. Reporter the Democratic Front runner called it prejudice that deserves an apology. What would she have done . Well, that person would not have come to my event. But if he did, i would have called him out on it. It would seem were seeing a lot more of Hillary Clinton on national tv now. Shes really fired up about this. The campaign is calling this an opportunity, as she starts to do more of these interviews, watch for her to link trump to the rest of the gop pack. David . Thank you. Now to another outrage, a new video of police arresting a suspect, a teenager in stockton, california. An officer trying to restrain him, and as youre about to see, the situation quickly escalates. Neal karlinsky with the video. Reporter tonight, this 16yearold boy and his family say police roughed him up for no good reason. I was thinking, what have i done wrong . Reporter the video begins with the officer struggling with the teenager. The stop resisting. Reporter at one point, apparently hitting him in the face with his baton as the two tussle with it. But what you dont see, police say, is the teenager grabbing the officers body camera. Even swearing at him. Refusing to cooperate when he was simply asked to move to the sidewalk while walking in a bus lane. Youre pulling me for no reason, and you bring out your baton and youre hitting me. Reporter it comes at a time when Police Departments are under a microscope. Caught on camera in a number of highprofile Excessive Force incidents. Here, eventually, more officers arrive, put the teen on the ground and arrest him. If people would just comply with the lawful order from a Police Officer and try not to grab onto or take our weapons away, force would never have to be used. Reporter the 16yearold was released and cited for resisting arrest and blocking a bus lane. Tonight, police are investigating to determine if its possible the use of force was right to use. Now, the story of baby doe. Her identity now revealed. Tonight, we know her name, and word two suspects are in custody, including the girls own mother. Phillip mena in boston. Reporter tonight, a break in the case of baby doe. Her name was bella. Reporter bella bond. This video is from her second birthday video.

They took steps to keep the death a secret, and avoid prosecution. Reporter june 5th, the toddlers remains were found on deer island. No one reported her missing, so police used this computergenerated image to help find her. Child protective services said they did have a case involving bella, but it was closed two years ago. We hope to learn more when the couple is arraigned on monday. Thank you. And to south carolina, a second suspect charged in the massacre in an Historic Black Church in charleston.

David kerley covers aviation for us. Reporter passengers in wheelchairs with makeshift ice bags to their heads. 15 hurt when their a340 hit that clear turbulence after leaving hawaii. The plane suddenly dropped like this, this man says. My head hurts because i flew up to the ceiling, says this woman who was sleeping and not wearing her seatbelt. The injuries were minor. But thats not always the case. This kind of turbulence is usually associated with storms. But the Philippines Airlines jet was hit by an invisible force. Its called clear air turbulence because pilots cant see it. It happens when a fast and slow moving jet stream pass alongside one another. The air between those streams is disturbed, and if a jet flies through, it can get very bumpy, very quickly. And radar cant detect it.

The Major General who investigated his actions testifying that bergdahl felt it was his responsibility to intervene.
