inside the cockpit for an exclusive bird's eye view of what happened. and a new crisis in the u.s. heroin. let's go outfront. >> good evening, i'm don lemon. we'll begin with breaking news. 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. that's how he got into the gymnasium of the school. it was cold in roswell this morning, this happened about 7:30 in the morning. he walked into the gymnasium 37 because it was so cold out. this is a middle school, sixth grade to eighth grade. they were all in the gym. he walked in, said the governor of new mexico and started to open fire. it is still not clear if he was aiming for these two particular individuals or just an angry young man wanting to kill. >> miguel marquez, thank you for your reporting. let's talk about the other shooting where a 71-year-old retired police officer is facing life in prison after allegedly shooting and killing a man who was texting during a movie. it all started during the previews ahead of monday afternoon's showing of the film "lone survivor" outside of tampa florida. 43 chad oulson was at the movies with his wife texting with the baby-sitter taking care of their young daughter. whites say the ex-cop curtis reeves told oulson to put his phone away. they argued but authorities say there was no physical contact. oulson did throw popcorn at reeves. that's when the police say reeves took out a semi-automatic handgun and shot oulson. martin savidging withing this sad story. martin, you're on the ground now. must be a shock obviously to the community. how are they dealing with the tragedy? >> i think, don, they are like the rest of the country absolutely shocked and dumbfounded that this could happen. the movie theater which is located behind me here remains closed tonight. the sheriff at a news conference this afternoon, you could see he was visibly taken. and in fact, he says that this community and this is pretty much a rural area, not the beaches and palm tree kind of florida but the farm fields and tall trees kind of florida. they are offering ptsd counseling for everybody in the community because that's how deeply this tragedy has been felt. so like everybody, we're how does it is happen. that's the feeling here, don. >> there you are back in florida. you know when we talk about florida, this happened there, is there any talk of stand your ground? >> reporter: yeahia, well that was the first thing that came up in a lot of people's minds. curtis reeves, the suspect who is in custody is claiming that there was an unknown object that was thrown into his face that came from chad oulson, he says. now the witnesses there say the only thing that was thrown after this heated argument was a bag of popcorn. that was it. there were no punches thrown. but the defense attorney was implying it could have been something else. so immediately the sheriff's office began investigating on the grounds of could it be a stand your ground case. the detectives have come back and the sheriff says there is no way they could use stand your ground in this case and do not see it as a legitimate defense. >> reeves was part of a similar incident before prosecutors say. what are you hearing? >> this is weird. this came out both at the hearing. there was a bond hearing today held for reeves, and he appeared by a video link and had what looked like some sort of protective clothing. the prosecution alluded to this. a woman has now come forward and said that two weeks ago, she was in this very same movie theater and she was also using her phone in some way and was accosted by a man. she is implying and the prosecution is implying this is the same man, curtis reeves in custody now for the shooting. she's implying he apparently had words with her and she felt very uncomfortable and it was considered to be an altercation. the authorities are investigating. they don't know yet if it was the same man or not. but it certainly is stranging >> it certainly is. martin savidge, thank you very much. tonight, chris christie admits mistakes were made facing it new jersey lawmakers for his state of the state address, he couldn't avoid the george washington bridge scandal that has plagued his administration recently. so instead he tackled it right out of the gate. >> mistakes were clearly made. and as a result, we let down the people we're entrusted to serve. i know our citizens deserve better. much better. i'm the governor. and i'm ultimately responsible for all that happens on my watch both good and bad. now, without a doubt, we will cooperate with all appropriate inquiries to ensure that this breach of trust does not happen again. >> i wonder if it was some sort of let's get this out of the way strategy. jake tapper, did he do enough to address the scandal in his speech? he quickly moved on after he addressed it at the top. >> yeah, that was the game plan. he did three basic points when it came to the bridge scandal. he said that mistakes were made although you could quibble whether or not a vendetta is a mistake. mistakes are made. he accepted responsibility. said he would cooperate with any appropriate investigation. and then with that said i moved on. one of the interesting points that he made in his state of the state address was he kept on talking about working in a bipartisan fashion. now, of course, in a state with a democratic legislature and republican governor by definition, it has to be bipartisan. but that is the selling point he's been trying to make not only here in new jersey to voters but to republicans about winning an election. look at me. i can win democratic voters and work with democrats and get things done. of course, that reputation for building bridges has been undercut a bit by this bridge scandal. >> he said this george washington bridge scandal, this is a quote does not define new jersey but inevitably in some way, i don't want to read too much into this, is this going to inevitably define chris christie, jake? >> i guess it's tough to say right now, but it's certainly the biggest controversy he's ever of had to endure. so in that sense, yes, in the sense that if you look at every politician, if there is a controversy or i an scandal on his watch that ends up defining him to a degree, you can say the obamacare roll out defines president obama to a degree. you can look at the war in iraq or the handling of hurricane katrina in the aftermath and say that defines george w bush. it will always be part of the litany of biographical details. it's hard to imagine this won't be in that, but christie has an opportunity i think it's fair to say to move beyond it if it turns out that he truly had nothing to do with it, but the idea that staffers of his were involved in this apparently for a political vendetta, yes, that will probably be with him for a long, long time. >> what you're saying it's not the mistake, it's the recovery. sometimes that's more important than the actual mistake. jake tapper, thank you, sir. and still to come, new developments in the madeleine mccann case. the world followed every detail in the search for this little girl and now there might finally be a break in this case. plus a southwest airlines airplane lands at the wrong airport. how could this happen?

>> my reaction was shock. >> a 1we68 airlines 737 came to a screeching halt sunday night at a small county airport seven miles from its intended destination in branson. a potentially disastrous error we discover that seems surprisingly easy to make. >> so this is where they made their mistake right here. >> that's exactly it. >> who your camera can't show it but just ten miles out, both airports are clearly visible. just a slight turn of the wheel can make all the difference. >> seven miles apart does not look like much up here. >> not at all. >> if you're in a big commercial jet flying faster than we are right now, that difference is even smaller, right? >> that is correct. >> can you see that, can you see the runway straight ahead of us? >> yes, clear as day. >> from up here the runway seems impossibly short. it's obviously obvious it wasn't build for large aircraft. the southwest pilots probably didn't realize their mistake till it was too late. they passed the point of no return just 200 feet before they were in for the shock of their lives. >> when they realized their mistake, they had to be panicking. there was nowhere to go. >> yeah, they will one choice, either go or they they're going to have to get it stopped. >> how did they possibly stop it? >> i have no idea how they got it stopped before the end of that runway into it takes just ten seconds is matching the landing speed of the 737 to go from one end of the runway to the other. >> as we come up to the end of the runway here, you're going to notice the big cliff. >> oh, my -- unbelievable. >> the aircraft at downtown airport. >> oh, man. >> look at that. >> a view out the side of our plane reveals the abrupt drop and the unsuspecting motorists below. amazingly, the 737 stopped averting tragedy with just 500 feet to spare. >> they could have so easily gone off the end of that right onto the expressway. >> as we fly safely away is, the question of how could this happen seems overshadowed by something even harder to grasp. >> how did they pull this off safely? >> it's actually pretty incredible feat to be able to land such a large aircraft on a small runway. >> with no shortage of small miracles for the more than 100 passengers on board, david mattingly, cnn, branson, missouri. >> thank you, david. more new details we're following tonight in the case of missing british girl madeleine mccann. according to scotland yard, investigators are asking portuguese authorities for per his mission to interview three people. she was on vacation with her parents back in 2007 when she disappeared and her case has generated headlines around the world. erin mclaughlin is in london with the latest on this unsolved mystery. >> more than six years after their 38-year-old daughter varnished from a family vacation in portugal, kate and gerry mccann still say they'll never give up hope they will find madeleine alive. british police are still chasing down hundreds of leads. on friday, the crown prosecution services sent an international letter of request to authorities in portugal asking for permissioning to conduct interviews in connection with madeleine's disappearance. this latest development prompting speculation that the mystery of madeleine's disappearance may be connected to a surge of burglaries in the area. 17 days before the madeleine went missing, there were two separate break-ins near the apartments where the mccanns were staying on holiday. >> it's likely that the apartment was broken into by a burglar or burglars and for some reason or other, they've seen the opportunity to take madeleine. >> police in portugal tell us they have yet to receive the letter from britain but are aware that scotland yard is focusing their investigation on three individuals. and they noted that those individuals have not been detained. almost three years ago, scotland yard launched its own formal investigation after portuguese authorities are failed to make any arrests in the case. >> even if it's just.1% chance she's alive, we will continue to fight for her. >> in october a public appeal for help. authorities released these computer generated sketches of a man they say was seen in the area at the time madeleine disappeared. they have also scoured cell phone records and interviewed over 400 people across 30 countries. >> i think a key issue here is whether the portuguese authorities having had a lot of criticism over their handling of the case in the initial stages will show as much enthusiasm for this investigation as scotland yard has been showing >> erin mclaughlin, cnn, london. >> still to come tonight, heading into had the super bowl weekend with a huge blowout for the nfl that could cost the league more than a billion dollars. plus police search justin bieber's home and allegedly find drugs 37 and then how you can feel like jennifer lawrence.
