>> we're not sure but possibly minutes. >> reporter: on thursday, wint returned to the d.c. area. the task force, using his friends on social media and witness accounts, tracked him to this howard johnson's in maryland. as an arrest team was about to storm his hotel room, it noticed a van and car moving suspiciously in tandem. here was the guess: the team decided to tail the two vehicles on the hunch that wint had to be: th in one of them. you believed but didn't know.id >> no, but nothing is certain. you have to make a decision based on the best informationgo that you have and you go with it. >> reporter: the d.c. policeha found more than $10,000 in wint's car, which they will trycr to connect to the crime scene. five other people were traveling with wint but, scott, they were not arrested. >> pelley: wyatt, thanks very much. in other news tonight, the southern plains could be in for more flooding. hundreds have been forced from their homes. the green area on this map of texas and oklahoma could get more than half a foot of rain by monday, and that's where we find vicente arenas. >> reporter: all week record- breaking rainful has been pounding parts of texas causing dangerous flooding, cars submerged while others were left floating. in corpus christi, more than 12 inches of rain has made this the wettest may on record. rain has been welcome relief for a state that's been struggling with drought. this picture of lake arrowhead was taken in january of last year when it was only 20% full. but recent rains have nearly filled it, putting water under the fishing pier for the first time in two years. in north texas, the wichita river is rising rapidly, threatening as many as 200 homes. one of them belongs to mike wenk, who spent the day filling sandbags. >> i have no flood insurance. i was told when i bought the house we were not in a flood plain. >> reporter: barry levy is with the emergency operation center in wichita falls. >> we have been praying for rain for a good three years, and now that we have as much rain asing we're going to need for the next ten years, i think people are going to start praying for the rain to stop. >> reporter: and this is why. i'm standing in nearly two feet of water, and this is somebody's backyard. it's expected to get even higher when the river crests tomorrow and, scott, there are heavy showers in the forecast, and they're expected to cause even more problems with all this flooding here. >> pelley: in texas there's either too much or too little. vicente arenas, up to his knees tonight. vicente, thanks very much. nearly 300 of hillary clinton's controversial e-mails were released today. they deal with the attack on the u.s. compound in benghazi, libya, in which four americans including the u.s. ambassador, were killed. there are no major revelations in the e-mails, but nancy cordes discovered a good deal of confusion about what happened and how to explain it to the american people. >> reporter: the e-mails captured the confusion as the attacks unfolded in september 2012. "the libyans confirmed his death," clinton wrote, referring to one of his victims. "should we announce tonight or wait until morning?" a top aide wrote back, "we are awaiting formal confirmation from our team." the next day clinton got an e- mail from a longtime friend, sidney blumenthal who had business ties in libya. "the attacks," he said, "were inspired by an internet video by the prophet mohammed." but 18 hours later he sent a new analysis, an islamist militia group planned the attacks for approximately one month. many of the e-mails were heavily redacted, including this one about revised t.p.s, the infamous talking points that wrongly claimed that it was spontaneous. top aide jake sullivan assured him this way: state department spokeswoman marie harf summed up the e-mails this way: >> they do not change our understanding of what happened before, during, or after the attack.zi >> thank you, all! i'll be back! >> reporter: republicans argued there's a reason for that. in a statement, benghazi committee chairman trey gowdy noted clinton's private e-mail account was exclusively reviewed and released by her own lawyers so there's no way to know if the self-selected public record is complete. traveling in new hampshire clinton responded. >> it is the fact that we have released all of them that have any government relationship whatsoever. >> reporter: clinton has always said she did not send or receive classified material on her private account. today, scott, though, before the e-mails were released, the f.b.i. determined that two sentences in one of the e-mails were not considered classified material at the time they were sent but should be considered classified today. >> pelley: nancy cordes on capitol hill for us. nancy, thank you. today, isis sealed off the ancient syrian city of palmyra. thousands fled yesterday when the islamic extremist group overran the syrian army. now clarissa ward tells us an irreplaceable treasure may be lost. >> reporter: the city of palmyra was largely empty today, but for the bodies of suspected isis opponents dumped in the street. the victorious militants sweptct through a deserted syrian army base, searching for any remaining regime soldiers and showing off the remains of those they had executed to residents. the fall of palmyra also puts the future of some of the country's most precious cultural heritage in jeopardy. the city's 2,000-year-old ruins are now under the control of isis militants who have regularly destroyed cultural relics in the past in other locations, condemning them as un-islamic. what doesn't get destroyed is looted. trafficking antiquities is a major source of revenue for the group. lieutenant colonel nicholas saad is the head of the bureau for international thefts in lebanon, ar where many of those smuggled artifacts turn up. >> reporter: are we talking millions? >> millions. >> reporter: saad explained that most of the pieces don't stay in the middle east. >> reporter: so these antiquities are being smuggled out to go to the west. >> reporter: we spoke to the ministry of antiquities in syria who told us that many of the most precious statues in palmyra have been moved to a safe location over the past few weeks, and they said that there haven't been any reports of destruction yet, scott, but, of course, they are extremely concerned. >> pelley: clarissa ward in beirut for us tonight. clarissa, thanks. today, off southeast asia, burma's navy rescued more than 200 refugees jammed on to a fishing trawler. thousands more like them are stranded at sea fleeing poverty and persecution. most are rohingya muslims, an oppressed minority in burma. bill whitaker, on assignment for "60 minutes," reached a forbidden part of burma to tell the story of the people that the u.n. calls one of the most persecuted in the world. >> reporter: the rohingya adrift at sea are a muslim minority from overwhelmingly buddhist burma. they have lived along the border with muslim bangladesh for generations. long-simmering religious animosity exploded three years ago when buddhist mobs burned muslims villages. more than 100,000 rohingya fled to government refugee camps. we found abdusalem at one. "my family ran to survive, "he said. "they're barely surviving now. the camps are off limits but we managed to slip in." the people are frightened, hungry, and stateless. rohingyaian are not considered citizens of burma. >> these are essentially concentration camps. people are confined to these camps. they can't leave these areas. >> reporter: human rights worker matt smith is documenting conditions in the camp. >> most people have one option when it comes to movement and that is to flee by sea and so we're seeing risking their lives actually to get boats to flee to other countries. >> reporter: we went to the capitol to ask president thein sein about the rohingya. "they are illegal immigrants and now some of their generations are being born here," he said. where would you like them to go?bo would you like them to leave myanmar? "we'll scrutinize these people to see if they're eligible for citizenship. if not, we'll consider other circumstances." for thousands of rohingyas circumstances in burma are so dire, they'd rather face the forbidding sea. bill whitaker, cbs news, burma. >> pelley: there was a terrifying moment in los angeles last night as a group of firefighters suddenly vanishedme into flames. danielle nottingham is at the scene. >> reporter: it was just before midnight when a fire broke out at the abandoned club caribe. a los angeles casino. 55 firefighters were called to the scene. you could see four of them on the roof, cutting a hole to release hot gases. then a moment of panic. four fighters plunged 25 feet to the floor. there was a frantic rush to find them. the injured firefighters were loaded on to ambulances and taken to a hospital. ventilating fires from rooftops is a dangerous procedure, but necessary. l.a. county fires randall wright: >> by opening up the roof, we allow all that smoke and heat and gas to get out. that allows firefighters to search for other victims if they are in the building and allows firefighters to see and makes it tenable for their survival also. >> reporter: one firefighter suffered second- and third- degree burns here. scott, three other firefighterswe were treated for minor injuries. >> pelley: danielle, thank you. a free college education for students of a certain age. we'll show you how. and one young man got quite a head start on college when the cbs evening news continues. it's gentle on your body too. no wonder doctors and patients have trusted advil... for their tough pains for over 30 years. relief doesn't get any better than this. advil. when eating healthy and drinking water just isn't enough to ease my constipation i trust dulcolax tablets. i take dulcolax for dependable overnight relief and in the morning i am back to myself dulcolax, designed for dependable relief allergies distracting you?

begins our coverage from lafayette. >> reporter: tense moments outside of the grand 16 theater; inside, people scrambled to escape the rampage. >> it was a crowd of people were trying to get out. >> reporter: lucas knepper was sitting in the second to last row of the ambassador screening room, just six empty seats away from the shooter. did he say anything? >> no, nothing at all. he just stood up and was just shooting, blank stare. he wasn't aiming at anyone in particular, just shooting the entire crowd. >> reporter: as the comedy film "trainwreck" played on the screen, police say 59-year-old john houser fired twice, hitting two people directly in front of him, and then fired randomly at least ten more times. >> you could see the gun reflecting from the movie, and could see the flash coming from the chamber. it was just awful. >> reporter: two teachers are being credited with saving lives. one of them, shot in the leg pulled a fire alarm to clear the entire complex and call in police quickly. people carried some of the wounded to an ambulance while others lay on the ground waiting for help to arrive. witnesses say houser tried to blend into the crowd but went back inside the theater once he saw police coming. police say he reloaded his 40- caliber pistol and fired one last shot-- to kill himself. louisiana state police colonel michael edmondson: >> a 21-year old and a 33-year- old, beautiful young lady, lost their lives last night. they had a vision, they had a future. i said this earlier. they had a face, they had a name, and it wasn't to die in the theater. >>

because it could've been you so easy. >> reporter: an online funding account has been set up to help offset the medical costs for the two teachers that many are calling heroes. charlie, we're also receiving word that two of the victims are now out of the hospital, and one is now in good condition. >> rose: thanks, omar. the gunman was much older than most mass shooters, and his family tried to keep guns away from him. justice correspondent jeff pegues now on what else we know about him. >> reporter: online postings over the last several years suggest john houser was angry and frustrated by social changes in the country. the southern poverty law center, which tracks extremists, says it uncovered writings where houser praised adolf hitler for "accomplishing far more than any other" and described america as a "failing filth farm." in january 2014, houser allegedly encouraged others to "realize the power of the lone wolf." now, investigators say, the 59- year-old apparently acted alone when he carried out his own attack last night. there were other warnings. in 2008, his family filed a petition for a protective order in carroll county, georgia. it cited houser's "history of mental health issues, manic depression, and/or bipolar disorder." his wife kellie told police she "had removed all of the guns from their house" and that "he should not have one unless he obtained it illegally." also in 2008, houser was involuntarily committed to a hospital. it is unclear when he was released. then, in 2014, houser lost his home to foreclosure. the current owner, dan ramsel, says houser trashed the place. ramsel gave reporters these photographs. >> he had booby trapped it disconnected the fireplace inside with the gas line. he poured cement down all the drains and toilets. he set the gas line on fire. >> reporter: late today, investigators revealed that last year houser legally purchased the handgun used in the shooting from an alabama pawnshop. charlie, in 2006, he had been denied a permit in alabama to carry a concealed weapon. >> rose: thanks, jeff. this caught our eye today: according to the web site www.shootingtracker.com, there have been 204 mass shootings in the first 204 days of this year. a mass shooting is defined as four or more people shot in one event. this was president obama in an interview with the b.b.c. yesterday, just hours before the killings in louisiana. >> if you look at the number of americans killed since 9/11 by terrorism, it's less than 100. if you look at the number that have been killed by gun violence, it's in the tens of thousands. and for us not to be able to resolve that issue has been something that is distressing, but it is not something that i intend to... to stop working on in the remaining 18 months. >> rose: after the interview the president was briefed on the shootings in lafayette as he flew to africa. he sent his condolences to the families of the victims. a federal government watchdog has determined there was classified information on hillary clinton's private e-mail server while she was secretary of state, and now the matter has been turned over to the f.b.i. here is jan crawford. >> i have released 55,000 pages of emails. >> rose: at a campaign event in new york, hillary clinton again denied any wrongdoing from her use of a personal email account while secretary of state. >> we are all accountable to the american people to get the facts right, and i will do my part. >> rose: but she's facing new scrutiny over a revelation that her personal server did in fact contain classified information. the inspector general for the intelligence community has written to congress that "there are potentially hundreds of classified e-mails" on the private server. he said he has referred the matter to counterintelligence officials and the f.b.i. for potential investigation. he said a random sampling of 40 emails "revealed four contained secret classified information." moreover, all the emails "are purported to have been copied to a thumb drive" in the possession of clinton's personal lawyer. clinton has repeatedly said any email on her private server was not classified at the time it was sent. >> i did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. there is no classified material. >> rose: but in a statement late today, two inspectors general said that the four emails in the random sampling were not marked "classified" but did in fact contain "classified information when they were generated." "this classified information should never have been transmitted via an unclassified personal system." now, the justice department has not said whether it's going to open an investigation into the e-mails, but, charlie, knowingly mishandling classified information can lead to criminal charges. >> rose: thanks, jan. firefighters are trying to contain a wildfire at glacier national park in montana. at least 4,000 acres have burned. and a fire in california has charred about 7,000 acres in the mountains above the napa wine valley. but evacuation orders were lifted today for about 200 homes. there have been no injuries. today, turkey launched a new attack on isis from the air and on the ground. this follows turkey's decision to allow u.s. warplanes to use one of its bases to bomb isis strongholds across the border in syria. holly williams reports from istanbul on the growing violence at the border. >> reporter: turkey's crackdown on isis came abruptly. in dawn raids, thousands of police rounded up suspected isis operatives as well as members of other militant groups. nearly 300 were arrested. and on the country's 500-mile- long border with syria, turkish f-16 fighter jets pounded isis positions. "terrorist organizations should lay down their weapons or face the consequences," said the turkish president, recep tayyip erdogan. yet turkey's critics say that until now turkey had failed to stop the flow of fighters crossing through its territory into syria, where many joined isis. one reason for the turnaround could be the surge in violence on turkey's border, including a suicide bomb on monday that killed over 30 people. another factor could be pressure from the u.s. after nine months of negotiations, turkey gave permission to the u.s.-led coalition this week to launch air strikes against isis from its incirlik airbase. turkey's also fearful of other armed groups in syria, including kurdish fighters, which could have prompted this shift. the result, charlie, is that u.s.-led air strikes against isis will now be much easier because incirlik airbase is just 60 miles from the syrian border. >> rose: thanks, holly. today, health officials in europe approved the world's first vaccine for malaria. the ancient scourge spread by mosquitoes sickened nearly 200 million people in 2013, killing about 600,000, mostly in africa. here is dr. jon la pook. >> reporter: most of the victims of malaria are children under the age of five. in fact, the disease claims the life of one child every minute. after almost three decades of research, dr. moncef slaoui and his team at g.s.k. have finally produced an effective vaccine. how big a deal is this?
