We had strict media guidelines inside the courtroom when covering this case, but now that it's all over this evidence out in the open, we not only have that video, but we're also hearing the 911 calls made shortly after that attack. I mean, it takes you right back to those chaotic first moments. You could hear the confusion and the urgency as students and staff just rushing. The release video also shows some grainy surveillance video from the day of that deadly confrontation. The video appears to show a brief confrontation lasting seconds before Anthony running away from the area, moving through the bleachers and out onto the track.

an investigation as they try to figure out how this fire started. And the nearly 1700 tourists who were evacuated now have to figure out what they're going to do next. The fire was sparked on Friday at the Viva Dominicas Beach Wyndham resort in the popular tourist town of Bayabi. Thick black smoke blanketed the area as flames soared just feet away from the crystal clear waters along the Caribbean coast. Crews even using drones equipped with water hoses to try to put out that massive fire. While the exact cause of the fire is under review, officials in the Dominican Republic say strong winds are partly responsible. But they also say the fire moves so quickly because many of the roofs at this particular resort were made with a dry palm leaf material called canna.

Local media reports the one fatal victim was an Italian tourist. Many of those evacuated placed in nearby hotels.
