afghanistan. reporter: he s one of afghanistan s most famous musicians. it s my life and my love. music is my love. he was a judge on the tv singing competition store afghan star. he is pretty famous, i would say. reporter: ahmad s son is himself a renowned classical pianist who s been studying in the u.s. for six years. they reunited in new york city after five years apart. for me, it was unbelievable. i couldn t believe that i was hugging him. i was very excited to see my son after five years. reporter: ahmad fled afghanistan in august after the taliban left a threatening note on his instrument case. did you believe the taliban was going to kill you? maybe, maybe. reporter: the last time taliban ruled afghanistan, music
late 1990s, he played on. we basically made music. he was practicing windows shut. doors shut. curtains down. we have private. afghanistan music dies at that time. when the taliban retook control of afghanistan in august. ahmad s fame made him a target. just days after the fall of kabul, the taliban left a note on ahmed s instrument case threatening him to stop playing music. that is very shocking for him. and he was very surprised. he was actually he couldn t really focus on the music anymore. iraq ahmad went into hiding. did you believe the taliban was going to kill you. maybe, maybe. i just wracked my brains trying to think how we could help him. leslie rosenthal is the coo of the julliard school in 2015 she helped a renowned classical pianist leave afghanistan after his music school was bombed. after that note was left on
his instrument case. he asked if i could think of a way to help them again. rosenthal contacted fox corporation for help. iraq ahmad is a musician, not a journalist. but he was invited to join a group of journalists who were being rescued on a flight that fox had some seats on. it s very important for survival of afghan music and artistic freedom so thankful and grateful for that. ahmad traveled with his daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren to the airport in kabul. that must have been very scary. chaos at the taliban. there was a lot of taliban. two days after being reunited iraq ahmad watched his son perform at a fundraiser for afghan refugees in new york. so we really hope to share our music. to introduce afghan culture. to say play afghan music. i can t wait to see their feelings, their preconceptions
two shootings, the first one in new mexico involving a 12-year-old who entered his middle school gym and opened fire. two students were involved. one. critical two students were wounded, one in critical, the other serious condition. miguel marquez has the latest. 12 years old, really? is this youngest yet? shockingly it is not. 1998, there was a young man by the name of andrew goldman who shot and killed five people in jonesboro an arc. this is the first time in a long, long time we will have seen anyone this young. we should be shocked but the way these things are going, it doesn t seem we can be shocksed by these shootings anymore. unbelievable. we look at video of the shooting now. apparently it was a shotgun. it isn t small. do we know how he got into the school? police are saying had he it in a bag. there are reports it was put into an instrument case of some sort.
confirm at this point in time. again, i want to reiterate that we have the sole individual in custody that s responsible for this event, this situation. we re still working with the district attorney s office on the actual charge lg and how that will role out so, i don t have any definitive information for you on that. kas we worked through to night to make sure we would finish executing the three search warrants so we could return the gymnasium back to the school. we went in and executed those warrants on the suspect s locker, on i ll categorize it as a duffel bag. i believe it was categorized as an instrument case. that s not correct. it s a duffel bag. and also the residence on sycamore street in roswell.
