>> she cooperated in the beginning with the fbi, answering questions and so on we would note the other day, they showed up at her family's place where she is staying in rhode island with a court order to take dna samples, hair samples, so on to compare with what they found on the bomb. from that point on what -- what's being put out is she's no longer cooperating. what we're actually seeing is lawyers doing their job, which is she retained council andcounsel and she was becoming a target of the investigation. if you want anything not that we're not cooperating, bring it to us and we'll send you back an answer. >> the big headline, the dna from her did not match the dna on the pressure cooker. >> nor did the fingerprints. >> it could be a store clerk, one of the victims of the bombings, they mayer in er innever know. >> a phone call between katherine russell and tamerlan hours after the photo was leased. >> they want to know what was the nature of the call? did they say they were going on the run, did she give her instructions to assist with any escape? no known tape of that call so really the account they will get of that since tamerlan is dead is hers. >> what is it about her that's puzzling to the fbi? >> it boils down to a classic question, charlie. it will be what did she know when did she know it thing. they want to know from her, here is a woman who dated tamerlan converted to islam after they were married, who lived in the same apartment, not a big apartment, where bombs were being constructed and pressure cookers bought two or three at a time. is it possible that all of this was going on concealed from you, or did you know it the whole time? >> okay. do investigators believe her insistence that she knew nothing of the attack. >> i think they are very skeptical of it, but skeptical isn't proof. i think that's why lawyers are slowing that down. in texas, chaos at houston's largest airport. a man opened fire inside at the terminal. he died at the scene as anna warner reports. police trying to figure out why the man started shooting. >> reporter: houston police say caramel marcus moore, armed and suicidal when he entered george bush continental airport. in terminal b but outside the security checkpoint when witnesses say he took out a pistol and fired one shot at the ceiling. >> it happened right here in the airport. real crazy. >> reporter: as people scattered or ducked for cover, officials say a homeland security special agent heard the shots and ran toward the gunman. >> confronted the suspect, gave that suspect verbal commands to drop the weapon. the suspect turned toward the special agent, special agent fearing for his safety and all the passengers in the terminal. discharged his weapon at the same time it appears that the suspect may have shot himself. >> reporter: he died at the scene. but officials say they don't know whose bullet killed him. >> the cause of death will be determined by autopsy. >> reporter: sources tell cbs news that a suitcase nearby contained an ar-15 assault with a fully loaded magazine and additional ammunition in the car. they found a handwritten note indicating he wanted to kill himself. moore also left cryptic messages on facebook including one posted just before the shooting. that read 45 minutes and 59 seconds in god's shadow and time stops. it remains unclear if moore intended to carry out a mass killing or a case of suicide by cop. investigators are searching for clues at moore's home in beaumont. where neighbors expressed surprise. >> this guy was so quiet and to hear that something like this came out of him, it's shocking. beyond belief. >> reporter: for cbs this morning, anna warner houston. >> president obama is on the second day of his trip to mexico. later today, he heads to costa rica. on thursday he held a joint news conference with mexico's newly elected president. domestic issues dominated that press conference. major garrett traveling with the president in mexico city. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie, good morning to viewers out west. president obama wanted to come to mexico city. talk about drug wars gun running border security hassle. president obama's brief stop in mexico city was hijacked by a series of domestic and international issues. in washington defense secretary chuck hagel confirmed the administration is now seriously considering lethal weapons to syrian rebels. mr. obama ignored previous recommendations to arm rebels and still sounds hesitant. >> we want to make sure we look before we leap and what we're doing is actually helpful to the situation as opposed to making it more deadly or more complex. >> reporter: the president wanted to sound optimistic about immigration reform. mexico's economy grew to 3.9% quick last year reducing border crossings into the u.s. still, half the undocumented workers in america are from mexico. >> we're a nation of immigrants. >> reporter: marco rubio said an immigration reform bill he helped draft is in trouble, because it's too soft on border security. >> the part we still have to do some work on is this board every stuff. it won't pass the house and will struggle to pass the senate if it doesn't deal with that issue. >> reporter: mr. obama supports the current border security measures. we have seen a deficit reduction agenda stall. eager for a victory. mr. obama pressed for action. >> what i'm not going to do is go along with something where we're looking for an excuse not to do it as opposed to a way to do it. >> reporter: the president also said he's going to continue to work to win the gun control argument in the united states senate, even though many lawmakers summoned the president's own party, believe that issued is dead for the foreseeable future. mr. obama said he's nothing if not persistent. >> given that he said this is just round one, what happens next?

>> reporter: the big question the white house has to answer does it use the same background check language and apply more political pressure and hope it can win, or does it change the language to attract senators that disliked the first time. they hope it will work to their advantage in 2014 and that's a fact that the white house must consider as it looks to legislation and the underlying politics. norah and charlie. >> major garrett, thanks. unemployment hitting a four-year low. the jobless rate went down to 7.5%. employers added 165,000 jobs last month. and hiring in february and march was stronger than first thought. that news comes despite higher taxes and massive government spending cuts. >> new york workers, putting the finishing touches on the one world trade center tower. the final two segments of a spire lifted to the top of the building yesterday. installed in a few weeks it will raise it to a symbolic height. 1,776 feet. it will become the tallest building in the western hemisphere. the tower will open next year. time to show you this morning's headlines from around the globe. the wall street journal says the pentagon is recon forming the most powerful bomb. to destroy iran's heavily fortified nuclear site. the enrichment complex is buried deep inside a mountain. >> the guardian says pope francis welcomed his predecessor back to the vatican. benedict will live in a renovated convent. >> "usa today" says full body machines at airports passed all radiation tests. critics claimed the scanners exposed people to high levels of radiation, the machines replaced by new scanners by next month.
