KPIX CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley April 30, 2015

Arrest were suspended. Two days after the rioting the city is now slowly returning to normal and jeff pegues is there. Jeff. Reporter scott this is a community that still bears the scars of the 1968 riots. Were just hours away from another mandated curfew put in place to prevent more violence. Last night there were still a few clashes with police. Another sign of a Community Still on edge. As kids went back to school today, Police Remained on high alert for renewed violence around the city. But afternoon protests were peaceful, allowing officials to turn their attention to friday when the Police Department will hand over the results of its investigation into freddie grays death to the States Attorneys Office. Today captain Eric Kowalczyk said the findings would not be made public. We cannot release all of the information from this investigation to the public because if there is a decision to charge in any event by the States Attorneys Office, the integrity of that investigation has to be protected. Reporter cornell brooks is the president of the naacp which is headquartered in baltimore. He worries how protesters will react to the lack of information. They should not expect an indictment. They should not expect arrests. They should not expect anyone called into account. They should not expect satisfying answers to unsettling questions. All they can expect is a step forward. Reporter we met brooks in west baltimore where 23 of black men ages 16 to 64 are unemployed. One out of four doesnt have a high school diploma. We have a community thats nearly empty of jobs. Thats a problem. And so theres this long simmering anger, resentment, where people dont feel that they have full access to what most americans and what people here would call the american dream. People need jobs. They need opportunity. Reporter what happens in communities like this . I think what happens in communities like this is the lid stays on for some period of time, and then things bubble and boil over. Reporter we sensed that frustration in kevin oliver and others here who believe someone is to blame for freddie grays death. To me its selfexplanatory. Its just who is going to be accountable for what happened to the man. Reporter the States Attorneys Office is conducting its own investigation, and that is separate from the investigation that the Baltimore City Police Department is conducting. Scott, it is also not clear when those results will be mades public. Pelley there were 35 arrests after the curfew last night. Jeff pegues, thanks very much, jeff. Todays Baltimore Orioles game with the Chicago White sox was closed to fans. It is the first time that has ever happened in major league baseball. Chip reid is at a quiet camden yards. And the pitch is in there for a strike, and the historymaking ball game is now officially in the books as having begun. Reporter at an empty orioles park in baltimore today, the crack of the bat echoed like a controlled explosion. 11 delivery. Reporter but the roar of a crowd, a few dozen people outside the stadium, sounded more like the roar of a mouse. There were no kids here to chase all those foul balls. Another one to rattle around in the seats. Reporter Oriole Caleb Joseph graciously offered his imaginary autograph and accepted the applause of imaginary fans. After the game, he said he was thankful for the diehards who watched and cheered behind the fence and from hotel balconies. It reminds me of those times when youre in high school and college and your friends dont want to pay the 4 or 5 to get into the game, so they get in the back of their trucks and drive to the outfield and cheer you on. Reporter some of those fans said closing the game was a mistake. Brendan hursan called it a surrender to fear. If you go down to the inner harbor right now, there are hundreds of soldiers protecting businesses. Theres plenty of security if that was the real issue, but i think by doing this, were sending a message to the world that this city is unsafe for everyone, that it cant be controlled. Thats not true. Reporter but orioles Vice President greg bader said the decision was all about security. The determination was made jointly that the resources required to play this game simply could be used better elsewhere, and we recognized this is a baseball game. You know, there are bigger issues out there. Reporter the orioles won 8 2, one player told us thats important to the team, but scott, he said it may be even more important to baltimore because when a city is going through trials and tribulations, a winning team can help lift people up. Pelley chip, thanks very much. While weve been watching baltimore this week, an astounding story has been unfolding in a colorado courtroom. Today officers described the scene in the Movie Theater three years ago after james holmes opened fire, killing 12 and wounding 70. Mark strassmann is covering the holmes murder trial. I can see him with the gun, holds it up to his chest. Reporter when the shooting started, josh nolan knelt down and tried to shield a friend. Bullets shredded his left calf and right arm. My thought process was that he was searching for other people and that he was going to start going row by row. 911. What is your emergency . [gunfire] reporter above him, the navy vet could hear an Assault Rifle firing, a sound he imitated with his hand. [tapping] people are running out of a theater shot. Reporter First Responders walked into chaos, screaming people, the burn of tear gas thrown by the gunman, the dead and dying strewn throughout theater nine. When sergeant Gerald Jonsgaard first spotted holmes dressed in body armor, he thought the killer was a swat team member, but holmes was quickly arrested. Inside the theater, jonsgaard personally checked every body for signs of life. I bent down, felt for a pulse. There was no pulse. Reporter he found veronica mosersullivan, the sixyearold was shot in the abdomen, the youngest person killed. Jonsgaard told an officer to carry her body outside. I want her triaged. I want her out of here. I wasnt keeping her in the crime scene. Reporter when all the survivors had left, dead bodies still lay inside the crime scene of theater nine. Scott, Police Inside remember that for hours cell phones that were left behind kept ringing one by one. Pelley Mark Strassmann thank you very much. The u. S. Economy came to a near halt in the first three months of this year. The Commerce Department told us today that growth in the Fourth Quarter was 0. 2 . In the previous quarter, it was a moderate 2. 2 . Bad weather is blamed, but in light of this, an increase in Interest Rates will likely be delayed. There was a sharp debate at the Supreme Court today as justices heard a case that asks whether it is cruel to use a particular sedative in lethal injection. Jan crawford is at the courthouse. Reporter the argument quickly turned heated. The justices clashed with one another and fired hostile questions at the lawyers. With Justice Sonia sotomayor going so far, she told an oklahoma lawyer defending lethal injection, nothing you say or read to me am i going to believe until i see it with my own eyes. The case focuses on a narrow issue, whether one of the three drugs sometimes used for lethal injections, a sedative, is effective in preventing severe pain and suffering and whether states must find a different drug, but the arguments laid bare deep divisions on the court over broader questions about the death penalty. Sotomayor and Justice Elena kagan were most forceful in opposition, with both reportedly asserting that lethal injection was like being burned alive with chemicals. Conservatives pointing to different medical studies and several lowercourt rulings strongly disputed that. They suggested the arguments were a backdoor way of dismantling the death penalty. Lets be honest about whats going on here, said Justice Samuel alito. The court is being asked to help wage a guerrilla war against the death penalty. 32 states have the death penalty, but its increasingly difficult to carry out. Justice Antonin Scalia says thats because of the abolitionist movement, putting pressure on the companies that manufacture drugs to stop making them available for executions. And thats what happened in this case. A drug company stopped providing two other sedatives, which forced oklahoma to use this alternative. Or it could do, scott, like utah recently did, and bring back the firing squad. Pelley jan crawford at the Supreme Court. Jan, thank you. Now, have a look at this. Yesterday, december 7, 1941. Pelley f. D. R. The day after pearl harbor asking congress to declare war on japan. Today nearly threequarters of a century later, the Prime Minister of japan stood in the very same spot and expressed condolences for americas war losses, but shinzo abe stopped short of an outright apology. The death toll from saturdays catastrophic earthquake in nepal topped 5,200 today. More than 10,000 were hurt and the u. N. Estimates that 2. 8 million have lost their homes. We have two reports, first seth doane in kathmandu. Reporter frustration is mounting. Clean water, power and fuel are scarce, and we found police ready in riot gear. This protest has popped up on the Street Corner here. People are yelling that the government needs to provide more aid and that there are not enough bus tickets to leave town. Thousands lined up for the free government bus ticket out of the capital. This is not a safe place just now. Many diseases are going to be spread here. Reporter the same fear was apparent in these makeshift camps. Bikey timilsina now lives in a tent with his family. Its very miserable, you know . Theres rain coming down. People are getting sick day by day. Were in a living hell. Reporter amid the misery are stunning stories of survival. This man was rescued after being trapped for more than 80 hours. Rodney vaughan was hoping for such success. Hes managing a search and rescue team from virginia. So youre looking for people who still might be alive . Yep, absolutely.
