2. 5 Million People plunged into darkness tonight as the power is pulled deliberately. Shooting at a college party. A gunman opens fire on students from a texas university. Were going to need more than one amr unit out this. We have multiple people shot. Civil rights icon, congressman john conyers, loes to earth right in the backyard of one family. We began the day with a major announcement from the white house in the fight against isis. The organiza leasr blamed for deaths of thousands across the world, including americans, killed in a latenight raid by u. S. Forces. Last night, the United States brought the worlds numbene to. Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi is dead. In a dramatic press conference, President Trump went into remarkable detail on just how the operation went down and were getting late details now about how u. S. Intelligence found al baghdadi, an informant inside isis may have helped. We also have a clearer sense of just how long the u. S. Had been tracking him. We have three reports tonight. We start in syria with our chief correspondent richard engel. Richard, good evening. Reporter good evening, kate. It was navy s. E. A. L. S who tracked down and killed Osama Bin Laden. This time on point it was the armys highly secretive force. E called himself the ruler of aow just a hole in the ground. Witnesses tell us at 11 00 p. M. Local time u. S. Special Operations Forces swooped down on his safehouse on the outskirts of a small syrian town. 100 elite u. S. Troops in eight helicopters, flying in for over an hour. Intelligence supported by the cia. President trump watching on secure communication. We had him under surveillance for a couple of weeks. We knew a little bit about where he was going, where he was heading. We knew something about the compound. We knew it had tunnels. Reporter today, this is what our camera found when we visited the town. Aa building nearbyh hole. A large crew of brilliant fighters ran out of those helicopters bo the side of the building, not wanting to go through the main door because that was boobytrapped. Reporter American Special ops were on ground about two hours, hunting for baghdadi and gathering intelligence. Baghdadi hiding in a tunnel, a dog chasing him when he blew himself up. Test results gave certain immediate and totally positive identification. It was him. Reporter abu Bakr Al Baghdadi founded isis. At its peak it controlled a large swath of iraq and syria. It killed tens of thousands and sent terrorists around the world, killing hundreds more, including americans. The family of journalist james foley, slain by isis, welcomed the news. I am grateful, certainly, that al baghd h must not think that theyre defeated. We must continue to be vigilant. Reporter baghdadi had been on the run for years. The leader of the most brutal bestarmed terrorist group in history, killed in a the turkis richard, sources are telling you now there was maybe an informant in baghdadis inner circle . Kurdish officials tell us that they had a mole very close to baghdadi. Someone who would visit him, was trusted by him and was passing information to the kurds right till the very end and they were passing that information along to the United States. Richard engel, thank you. President trump said he has had baghdadi in his sights since he took office, calling him a thug and the number one terrorist. Attack. Now leading up to the reporter a dramatic retelling of a mission. Wldacati of the elusive and reclusive terrorist, with the operation ramping up in earnest two weeks ago after officialsri confirm baghdadi was where they thought he was, the president says. He was briefed thursday, given military options friday. And on saturday as go time ticked closer, the president huddled in a situation room with his top advisers around 5 00 p. M. The attack started moments after that. The element of attack that they were most afraid of was getting from our base into that compound. Reporter the president , clearly riveted, waited and watched. Absolutely perfect. As though you were watching a movie. Reporter after special forces landed at the compound, President Trump in graphic terms, explained what happened way in and then all hell broke loose. He died like a dog. He died like a coward. He was whimpering, screaming and crying. Reporter the terrorists death is among the most significant othe trump era, with the president seemingly well aware of the weight of the moment. His announcement compared to this one of barack obama. They killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body. Reporter at that time, president obama notified top lawmakers first, even called his predecessor, george bush. This time, President Trump, concerned about leaks, he said, never told Key Congressional Democrats like nancy pelosi, Chuck Schumer and adam schiff. I think thats a mistake but lets not lose sight of the fact, it was a success. Reporter the president did call his closest republican ally, senator lindsey graham. He did not call other members of the gang of eight. Was that a mistake . I was in town. I was right down the street. Does the president not trust the speaker of the house with Sensitive National security information . Chris, i dont think that was the implication at all. Hallie, nancy pelosi not thrilled with how the notifications went down tonight . Not at all, kate. She acknowledges that its significant but now is calling for a house investigation on the raid and the strategy. While sop top lawmakers werent notified in advance, the russians were. Kate . Hallie jackson, thank you. The death of al baghdadi raises questions about what it means for the future of isis and forces fighting them. Joining us from irbil, iraq, courtney, could this mark the end of isis . Reporter isis has not yet a encouraging followers to continue the jihad if confirmed dead. The manner in which he died could actually inspire isis fighters to retaliate but its become de wit affiliates well established in their region, making isis more capable of withstanding the loss of a strong figurehead like baghdadi. Interesting. What does it mean for u. S. Troops in the region . The u. S. Just announceing that troops were being pulled out of the area. Thats right. We heard President Trump say u. S. Troops would go into syria in a mission to secure the oil field. Weve seen that deployment of troops from erbil yesterday. It will be a smaller u. S. Footprint in syria. With a smaller footprint theres less intelligence gathering capabilities and less opportunity to potentially act on any intelligence thats gathered with the raids we saw like the one last night. Kate . Courtney kube in iraq, thank you. Out of Northern California, increasingly desperate situation as several in many areas andthetate of califo under red flag warnings with the National WeatherService Warning of potentially historic fires. Our teams are on the ground near the worst of it. Sam brock has been there throughout the weekend. Sam, what are the Biggest Challenges tonight . Reporter kate, good evening, certainly countering the massive flames. But at the same time, look at all the hotspots and smoke. They are everywhere. With wind conditions like this, all it takes is one big gust for that to go south in a hurry. Tonight the worst fire california has seen this season is tearing through wine country, burning homes, and reducing wineries to ash, fuelled by Hurricane Force winds, forcing nearly 200,000 people to evacuate, nearly 2. 5 million ar without power. The winds that we predicted are here. The crews are actively engaged in a pretty intense fire right. Reporter the nightmare unfolding before our eyes. How close that is to the highway. Reporter with wind gusts peakint temrarily at least six spot fires, if not more. Reporter the governor has declared a state of emergency across california as historic conditions sparked other blazes like this one in vallejo. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. I cant believe theyre letting us drive through this. Reporter the hot embers being driven by strong winds more than a mile away. The problem with conditions as windy as they are, firefighters dont get on it right now, it could be worse than a spot fire. The fire has jumped the containment lines. Reporter flames tore through the soda rock winery. Have you seen the flames jump like that . Not in the 30 years ive worked here. Reporter Jose Gonzalez works at the winery next door. You changed the entire life of five to ten families t. Did. Reporter now more to keep the flames from spreading southwest toward heavily populated aor lives and propert from the wrath of kincade fire, far from over. Sam, the wind seems to be the key here. What are we expecting tomorrow and tonight . Its a little bit lighter right now. It is expected to pick up going into tonight, not as bad as the night before. The bigger news, officials monitoring for another severe wind event in the middle of next week. As the fires rip through jumping roads and scorching neighborhoods, people cant get out of the way fast enough, fleeing for their lives. Two hospitals and a prison have been evacuated and schools in the area are already closed down for tomorrow. Heres sarah harmon. Reporter with fastmoving flames bearing down on Northern California, residents trying to escape with just minutes reporter entire hospital es vac waited. We have about 100 patients in spare. I was today and now were reassessing. There. I think about 10 are in the intensive area unit. Reporter now some who want toe are fighting. We knew we needed to evacuate, we had no idea where to go. Reporter with Evacuation Centers at capacity, some were forced to turn people away. We have no place to go. Were only about a mile from our house. Reporter gas stations overrun. A major highway shut down by flames. Still, people like 78yearold gary are refusing to go. A farmer is a stubborn person. Reporter defying the mandatory evacuation orders. I have here all my life. I want to stay here. Reporter deputies are marking the homes of those who stayed with yellow tape so they can find them. Theres significant danger to anyone in the windsor hillsburg area, so please get out. Reporter as Northern California prepares for more wind and more fire, evacuees are bracing for the worst. And sarah is with us now. Were hearing that the evacuation zone might be expanding tonight . Kate, thats right. Officials are issuing new advisories for parts of napa, telling people be ready to go at a moments notice. As for this area, a big concern is what people are going to have to come back to. A situation like this, its a nig nightmare for everyone. Kate. Certainly. Former congressman john conyers has passed. The democrat is the longest africanamerican congressman in history. He stepped down in 2015 amid multiple allegations of sexual harassment, charges he denied. He was a native of detroit and fought to make Martin Luther king jr. s birthday a national holiday. Still ahead tonight, searching for a killer after a mass shooting at a college party. And later, secrets from inside the situation room as special forces track the leader of isis. The soda rock winery, there much left to burn. They thought the fire was half a mile from here, but now i think its here. I was back there with the garden hose on my hands and knees trying to save it. Its burning down. You cant even see the houses anymore. Fire crews are trying to fight this fire. Theyre heroes. Theyre back there fighting it right now. Sounds from a traumatic day here in the bay area. Thank you for joining us. Im terry mcsweeney. And im jessica aguirre. Its a frightening day for so many people across the bay area. We have been here covering this breaking story on air and online all day long since Early Morning hours. The biggest concern now continues to be the kincade fire which continues to grow. These are the latest numbers. Over 30,000 acres burned. At this juncture, only 10 contained. Over 180,000 people have been told to evacuate. In total, 93 structures have burned. Over 31,000 buildings are threatened. And we are awaiting another update from cal fire this evening at 6 30 in which we expect those numbers, that acreage, to grow and the numbers of structures to go up in terms of those that have burned. And jessica was just talking about it. As we look at the evacuation map, nearly 200,000 people evacuated, the largest evacuation in the history of sonoma county. You can see it starts over in the kincade fire, the evacuation zone, all the way over to the coast. The winds are westerly direction. While all thats going on, fire broke out near the car key nas bridge. That fire can be see both sides of the bridge. Evacuation orders were in place for nearby neighborhoods in vallejo and crockett. They have been lifted. No more evacuations for crockett and vallejo. As of last check, the fire is 50 contained. There are new fires burning in the lafayette area. This is new video just into the news room. Fires are burning on either side of highway 24, powerlines are down in the area. What we know right now is the fires have burned 7 acres, 3 homes have burned down. There are immediate evacuations near Camino Diablo and spring brook roads in lafayette. The crews have stopped the progress ofre that was breaking windsor as a result of the kincade gene alley was on the fire this morning and she was there before they got to any its a really exciting moment, scary moment. And its probably not the last. The wind really is picking up. The kincade fire is coming this way, coming toward windsor. You can see theres lots and lots of firefighters, an army of firefighters here in this neighborhood in windsor ready to defend homes. And its spot fires at this point from the kincade fire. Those embers are just flying through the area and starting fires. We have video of those tense moments from earlier today when one of the spot fires really took off and that sky turned orange and the smoke got really thick and we heard that roar and the hillside just erupted in flames and several homes nearly caught on those fires out and save those homes. We did see a couple of roof fires. Firefighters were able to put those fires out as well. But the watch isnt over. The wait isnt over. Folks are stillerl park setting backfires hoping to take fuel away from the kincade fire as it approaches windsor. So, everybody right now is watching and waiting and hoping that firefighters can handle this thing as it approaches. Reporting live in windsor. Jean, great job. Another community where theyre watching and waiting, hillsburg, thats where we find christie smith. She is there. What are you seeing right now . Reporter terry, we stopped here on chalk hill road because this is where some of the air attack was happening just five, ten minutes ago. I checked my google map. There was a small pond just on the other side of the hills there. We saw helicopters going in, picking up water, and what they were doing was heading over to this end where there is smoke. And they were doing multiple drops. In fact, we lost count of how many. They just took off and started heading a little bit north of First Responders go lights ande speaking with you, well go ahead and eout. And i have to tell you we teionf windsor. Couldnt even get through. There were flames on the side of the road and smoke very, very thick. So, this is kind of the situation that were dealing with. I have to say the one bright spot in all of this, we have seen firefighters doing quite a bit of structure protection where weve been today at least in this area we have not seen homes burned. Weve seen some of the vegetation burned around those homes but firefighters out here doing a very good job with their work. But again they are heading this way and i think when were clear with you were going to see whats going on that way goi th way as well. Thats perfect. You go check that out. Sam brock is in hillsburg with a different Vantage Point for us. Sam. Tey, good evening. Im halfway between hills burg and atirefighters. Were expecting windt. Simple little spot of spoke it could blow up and go from a smoke to a spot fire and perhaps worst. Thats one of the things we saw today. When i was coming in to cover this fire in hills burg and we were driving down 128 from calistoga, what we saw was very unnerving. Fires on both sides of the highways, power lines down, trees down, what borderline looked like an apocalyptic scene of total wreckage. As hard as this is to believe, they had to coax people to get out of their home despite the fact there was a 4 00 evacuation yesterday, they were still pulling people out atn hills buo reports of serious injury oris. Pins and needles tonight because we knos going to be increased wind speeds. We are looking forward to next week when pg e says there could be another severe wind event. Thats the latest from hillsburg. Sam, thank you very much. That echos exactly what cal fire has been saying. Everybodys been saying you cannot fight this fire. You cannot fight it. They tell you to leave. You really got to go. People are arguing with them. I mean, please. Weve still seen better response than we did with the wine country fires just two years ago. And no fatalities and no injuries to this point. A lot of property loss but not the loss of life like last time. Lets hope it stays that er the. The big one up north. Another one in mill pea das right now. Ian, what do you see . Were here at marylandnd barker street. This is on the east side of the street. Dozens of firefighters are here. We believe it started at this house. You can see it being doused with gallons and gallons of water. It appears to be mostly out. They want to make sure that every little bit of burning charred home is out so it wont spread to even more homes. Were told there are at least three structures involved here. Looks like theyre getting a good hold on this one just to the left. But and no real flames right now, however. Theres just so much smoke and so much wind in this neighborhood. Its just east of 101. They want to make sure that it is all completely out. Firefighters going back and forth with oxygen tanks and everything like that. They want to make sure it doesnt spread now. It
