Giant ambush. It was crazy. Captio captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs e this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. Francis is a very different pope and today he seat dramatically different tone for the worlds billionplus catholics, including 75 million here in the united states. The pope, who moved so easily among the faithful, even calling some on the phone, did not change the rules or the teachings of the church, but in a Ground Breaking interview with the jesuit magazine today francis laid out his vision saying that the church must be more welcoming and merciful or it will fall like a house of cards. Heres michelle miller. Reporter this was the most extensive interview pope francis has given since being elected in march. He was blunt about the churchs mission. We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage, and the use of contraceptive methods. We have to find a new balance or, he warned the church is likely to fall like a house of cards. I think it says that serve welcome in the church. Reporter father james martin is editor of america magazine, one of 16 catholic publications that printed the interview. Is this a clear signal of a new way of doing business . Yes. He is saying this is the way i want to do things, this is how i want to communicate to people and this is who i am. Reporter Pope Benedict 16 and john paul ii insisted catholics adhere to strict teachings. Francis told the interviewer the church needs to be more open. Francis told the interviewer the church needs to be more open the popes changes extend beyond message. Hes made a point of foregoing some of the pomp of the papacy, carrying his own briefcase and living in a modestly Furnished Hotel room. Susan matthews runs an online forum called catholics for change. As a life long and very disheartened catholic, it was such a breath of fresh air. It had been like the institutional doors had been thrown open and light was coming in. Reporter but there has been some pushback from conservatives. Bishop thomas tobin of providence, rhode island, said hes disappointed the pope has not spoken out against abortion. The editor of the conservative catholic journal first things he believes the pope is making a direct appeal to american catholics. We wouldnt be talking about samesex marriage if there werent initiatives to legalize samesex marriage. We wouldnt be talking about contraception if the Obama Administration hadnt made a mandate to provide contraceptives. Reporter the 12,000 word article was reviewed by the pope before it was published and, scott, were told by someone who was closely with the vatican that many Church Officials didnt even know the pope granted the interview. Pelley michelle, thank you very much. Today the director of the f. B. I. Said that the killer at the Washington Navy yard was hunting people last monday. We heard from the director new details of the massacre that we didnt know before and bob orr tells us what the investigation has turned up. Reporter surveillance videos show gunman aaron alexis prowl the third and fourth floors of building 197 hunting for targets. He was armed with a shotgun, sawed off at both ends. Investigators say he carried extra shotgun shells in the pockets of his cargo pants. In an offcamera session with reporters today, f. B. I. Director james comey said there was no discernible pattern to alexis movements. He was just wandering the halls looking for people to shoot. Comey said alexis was not looking for a particular person or group. Contrary to initial accounts, comey said theres no evidence that alexis fired from the fourth floor hallway down into the atrium below. The killings happened at closer range. But one of the victims was actually outside the building, shot by alexis through an open door. When alexis exhausted his shotgun ammunition he began shooting with a beretta semiautomatic pistol taken from a Security Guard he killed. Eventually, alexis was pinned down by police. Comey said there was a brief lull in the shooting before alexis was shot and killed in a sustained exchange of gunfire. While investigators have mapped how the attack played out, analysts are still struggling to understand why it happened. Alexis scratched two cryptic phrases on the shotgun. Better off this way and my elf weapon. But f. B. I. Analysts are still looking for a motive, searching for clues in the gunmans phone and internet communications. While agents have found no evidence that alexis went after a specific individual, he did target his most recent workplace. Alexis was part of a team there, handling a computer upgrade inside building 197, scott. Pelley bob orr in our washington newsroom. Bob, thank you very much. And now to a cbs news investigation. Veterans by the tens of thousands have come home from iraq and afghanistan with injuries suffered on the battlefield and many of them seek treatment at v. A. Hospitals. Now this cbs news investigation has found that some veterans are dying of accidental overdoses of narcotic painkillers at a much higher rate than the general population. Some v. A. Doctors are speaking out and heres jim axelrod. Reporter five tours of duty in iraq and afghanistan left 35 yearold Army SpecialistScott Mcdonald with chronic back pain. His wife heather says over the course of a year v. A. Doctors in columbus, ohio, prescribed him eight pain and psychiatric medications. It just got out of control. They just started pill after pill, prescription after prescription. Reporter he would go for followup visits . And come home with brand new medication, higher milligrams. Reporter then v. A. Doctor added a ninth pill, a narcotic called percocet. Later that evening heather came home from work and found scott disoriented on the couch. I asked him you didnt by any chance by accident take too many pills, did you . He said no, no, i took what they told me to take, heather. And i propped a pillow under his head and thats how i found him the next morning. Exactly like that. Reporter he wasnt breathing. No. Reporter the coroner ruled mcdonalds death accidental. He had been overmedicated and died from the combined effects of five of his medications. Theres an overuse of narcotics, its the first reflex for pain. Reporter dr. Phyllis hollenbeck, currently a physician with the jackson, mississippi, v. A. Raised her concerns with the federal government about the v. A. s practices for prescribing narcotics. The people in charge said we want you to sign off on narcotic prescriptions on patients you dont see. I was absolutely stunned and i knew immediately it was illegal. It works on the surface. It keeps the veterans happy. They dont complain. Theyre not coming in as often if they have their Pain Medicine and the people in charge dont care if its done right. Reporter we obtained v. A. Data through a records request which show the number of prescriptions written by v. A. Doctors and Nurse Practitioners during the past 11 years. The number of patients treated by the v. A. Is up 29 . But narcotics prescriptions are up 259 . A dozen v. A. Physicians whove worked at 15 v. A. Medical centers told us they felt pressured by administrators to prescribe narcotics and that patients are not being properly monitored. I have seen people that have not have the an exam of that body part theyre complaining of pain in for two years. Its easier to write a prescription for narcotics and just move along, get to the next patient. Reporter this doctor who presently treats pain patients at the v. A. Asked not to be identified. Were letting people come in and prescribing massive doses of narcotics and they also are on drugs for Mental Health problems. Reporter if youre giving those kind of quantities of pills, i assume that requires a rather close eye being kept on the patient. Youd think so, but it isnt the case. Reporter we gathered data from five of the states with the most veterans. We found veterans are dying of accidental narcotic overdoses at a 33 higher rate than non veterans. Dr. Robert kearns is the director of Pain Management for the v. A. Nationwide. So were faced in this country with an Important Health crisis were talking about today related to Prescription Drug abuse. But we have a similar crisis related to chronic pain and the way that its managed in this country. Reporter kearns says v. A. Is taking action to ensure both patients and providers are aware of the risks and benefits of narcotics. Providers are trained to have a proper discussion with their patient, to share concerns about the limited potential benefit of these medications, but also these risks that were talking about today. Reporter Heather Mcdonald says she plans to sue the v. A. He never should have been taking those many pills, but he trusted his doctors. My husband served honorably and with pride and dignity, not to come home and die on the couch. Pelley now, jim, the v. A. Declined to talk with you about the mcdonald case or any of the specifics in your story. But what else did the v. A. Have to say in its own defense today . Reporter dr. Robert kearns, the director of Pain Management for the v. A. Who we just heard from had a couple of points he wanted to make. The first is that while narcotics, opioids like percocet are not a last resort, theyre not the firstline treatment option, either. And that secondly if you look at the statistics the number of veterans with chronic pain being treated with opioid therapy is relatively small. Pelley jim axelrod. Thank you very much, jim.
