A little boy home alone when burglars break in. Stay right there. He hides in the closet and calls 911 tonight why the boy is a Hometown Hero. Im jon scott in for shepard smith. Four u. S. Navy destroyers are close enough to syria to launch a missile strike at a moments notice. Thats the word from pentagon officials. Defense secretary chuck hagel says the u. S. Is looking at all options to respond to a suspected chemical attack in syria that reportedly killed hundreds of people, including children. But he says the u. S. Will not go it alone if there is any action taken, it will be in concert with International Community and within framework of legal justification. John kerry says evidence is real and compelling, he says there must be consequences. The fox reports correspondent Jonathan Hunt live in our new york newsroom. John, than the u. N. Weapon inspectors are in syria. But u. S. Officials have already made their own conclusions. Yeah, they may have decided to do that jon, simply because of the difficulty those yations weapons inspectors have faced in doing their job inside syria. Today for instance their convoy left hotel in central damascus to head to the sight of the chemical weapons attack for the first time and the convoy was fired on by at least one sniper. One vehicle was hit. No injuries reported. And the weapons inspectors did then go on to the hospital where they interviewed some of the alleged victims of the attack and some doctors who had treated them. But secretary of state john kerry was quick to point out today that the Syrian Government has been anything but helpful to those inspectors. Listen. Instead for five days they refused investigators to the site of the attack that would allegedly exonerate them. Instead it attacked the area further shelling it and systematically destroying evidence. Thats not the behavior of a government that has nothing to hide. Now, there is no indication at this moment when those United Nations inspectors might leave syria for anyone reading the tea leaves that act might be another impending military action. President asan as defiant as ever . It seems that wait a minute he sat down apparently for interview with the russian daily newspaper. The still photographs of that interview were released by state run syrian media we cannot independently confirm them. In the interview, president assad said, quote think meaning the United States can start a war but they will not know where it will spread or how it will end. Asked how he believes it might end for the u. S. , he said what it suffered in all its wars from vietnam until now, failure. Those quotes appear to be affirmation of what we have said many times here before rk jon, that long ago president assad decided he will fight to what will inevitably be a bitter and bloody end. Jon . Jon jonathan, i mentioned u. S. Warships are ready to strike at syria at any moment. At least one republican is calling for more than just a missile launch. We will will go live to the white house for the latest on the military options coming up on the fox report. The news out of syria hurt your 401 k s and iras today stocks slid in the red after soaring earlier this the day. John kerry spoke about syria. The dow finished the day down 65 points. Nasdaq and s p also fell. You a three major indices had been holding on to slight gains in the final hour of trading. Thats when kerrys speech occurred. Police officers report they have solved the killing of a world war ii veteran in spokane, washington. They say they arrested a second teenage suspect early this morning. Today, i would like to assure our community that the two individuals we believe were responsible for the robbery and murder of mr. Belton had been taken into custody. Since receiving the initial call on wednesday night, the Spokane Police department has worked tirelessly to identify and apprehend the suspects in this homicide.

The police chief says kennard was a standout basketball player but neither one of these suspects had any proper supervision. Here is the chief. We have a very troubled group of young people not just in spokane or throughout the country that really need the assistance, the guidance, the mentorship of the whole community. Both men or teens are being held on Million Dollars bond. The first suspect will appear in court tomorrow. Jon . We are learning more about this horrible crime as well. Yeah, the chief says the two suspects were not involved in any Gang Activity he says this appears to be solely motivated by the robbery aspect not race. Both boys there were captured on video arriving or a nearby store that was near the crime scene, belton was sitting in his car. He was waiting for a friend to pick him up when the attack happened. Family believes he was targeted for his age and the fact that he was just over 5 feet tall. Police say he thought back and that may have contributed to the severity of the attack. Here now is beltons nephew. I dont understand like three lives were lost that night. Its over for them. They have nothing now. And you took a very special person away from our family. And for that i cant forgive you. God will have to forgive you for that i cant. You mentioned that belton was a world war ii veteran.

Jon gut wrenching testimony in the fort hood shooter as jurors must decide will major nadal will die for his crimes or spend the rest of his life in prison. Victims families testified including the widow and mother of this specialist. Widow says she has since tried to kill herself twice and mother said when officers arrived to inform her of her sons death she called her daughter put the phone on the table and could hear her screaming on the phone as the officers told her the news. This army private was pregnant when she died in the massacre. Her father today told jurors quote that man did not kill 13 that kay. He killed 15. He killed my grandson and he killed me slowly. Casey stegall live from fort hood. Did the prosecutor get through all the witnesses . They did not. Court went into unexpected recess at 3 30 local time, 4 30 eastern. That was not long after we had just been told by Public Affairs that everyone would likely be working late tonight. The only reason we were given for this delay was because of logistical issues. They wouldnt elaborate. This followed a day of odd behavior from hasan who asked for two recesses throughout the morning and also asked to break early for lunch which the judge denied. This is odd because its the first time he has made such requests. This entire Court Martial and he made them after family members sobbed on the stand. One widow testifying she only disconnected her late husbands cell phone just a few months ago because she would call it, jon, just to hear his voice one more time. What happens next . Once the prosecutions remaining seven witnesses take the stand we hope tomorrow. Then hasan hits the floor. We dont know what he has up his sleeve. Is he able to talk a little bit more freely in this part of the Court Martial. Its not the guilty innocent phase anymore. In the sentencing there arent as many restrictions on what he can say. Some military law experts have suggested this when he is going to try to defend why he carried out the attack. Which has a lot to do with his radicalization, jon. Jon casey hasan reportedly has earned about 300,000 in pay since the massacre. Legal analysts tell us once he gets sentenced, that stops. An Army Spokesman told the wall street journal some of that money could be used to pay fines and compensate victims. Police in florida say the man behind this weekends shooting rampage wrote out the names of his intended victims in advance. And they say all four victims were former Trucking Company coworkers of the 72yearold shooter. Cops say they found the note at the gunmans house. It did not mention a motive. Two of the shooting victims died. Friends of the gunmans family say they have no idea what made him do it. The suspect later killed himself at his home. The fbi is now offering a 50,000 reward to help track down the killer of a Police Officer in kentucky. That brings the total reward money to more than 200,000. Investigators say suspect shot officer jason ellis three months ago as he was clearing debris from a highway exit ramp. Officer ellis left behind a wife and two young sons. He worked with the Police Departments drug sniffing dogs one of his former canine partners was there to say goodbye at his funeral. Terrifying moments for a child who was home alone when burglars broke into his house. How the boy managed to keep his cool and help put the crooks behind bars.
