Good evening and it's great to start another week with. all of you at home, but we do begin tonight with the new. and horrific images after the fire bomb attack in Colorado.

And tonight here, these new imidies of the moment. and they are disturbing federal authorities. revealing late today, there were 12 victims. from 52 to 88 years old, one of them, a Holocaust survivor. The suspect remained at the scene appearing. to hold an unused fire bomb in each hand. Authorities found 16 more Molotov cocktails.

ABC's Mola Lengue leading us off on the scene in. Boulder and a warning again. These images are difficult tonight. Tonight, investigators pouring over this chilling new video. showing the chaos and panic. After authorities say a man fire bomb, a peaceful.

Jewish demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, bringing attention to the hostages still in Gaza in what. they call a brazen anti-Semitic terror attack. Now with a foretaste setting people on. fire. The suspect 45 year old Muhammad Sombrie Solomon. appearing in court late today, now facing 16 charges of. attempted murder as well as federal hate crime charges. This day away. Stay away.

tossed two Molotov cocktails into a crowd. peacefully marching. You're right. Tonight authorities raising the number of victims. Now 12 people injured, some critically burned. They range in age from 52 to 88 years old, including officials say a Holocaust survivor. Salomon apprehended it the scene. It's panic right away trying to get off the fire, trying to help your friends get out of the fire,

trying to put down the fire. I mean, people are literally on fire. They're literally on fire. I don't know if I can express it enough. And tonight, authorities say the suspect confessed, saying he had been planning this for a year, waiting. until after his daughter graduated high school. to conduct the attack. There were 16 unused Molotov cocktails. within arms reach of the subject at the time of his rest. Authorities saying the suspect allegedly. learned how to make them on YouTube, also finding a backpack weed sprayer filled with gasoline. Officials say he specifically targeted the Zionist group.

that had gathered in Boulder after learning about the. group from an online search. And when he was interviewed about the attack, he said. he wanted them all to die. He had no regrets and he would go back and do it again. The FBI saying he drove to Boulder from this. home in Colorado Springs where he lived with. his wife and five children, working as an Uber driver, stopping for gasoline on the way. authorities searching that home overnight. If we uncover evidence that others knew of this attack or.

supported the subject in this attack, rest assured that we. will aggressively move to hold them accountable to the fullest. extent of the law. Officials tonight say the suspect was born in Egypt and. lived in Kuwait for 17 years before moving to. Colorado three years ago. But DHS says he was in the country illegally. I was able to identify that he had overstayed his visa. While he did have a work authorization permit, it was expired. It comes just a week after two Israeli embassy staffers.

were shot and killed outside a Jewish museum. in Washington, D.C. So why were you in the back in April? Authorities say a man fire bomb the home. of Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro, on the first night of Passover. Back in Boulder tonight, this community, trying to come to grips with this latest attack. - Now it's with the Jewish community, but it can be any other community. We need to condemn any violence. And we need to make sure that everyone is safe. - Really, that message is so important. Mola Langey leading us off here tonight, Mola, what more are you learning about the conditions.

of the victims tonight? - Well, David, two of the 12 victims injured in the attack. are still hospitalized tonight. They were airlifted to a Denver area burn center. both remain in critical condition at last check, but. both are expected to survive. Meanwhile, the suspect is due back in court. on Thursday, David. -Mola Lenguy in Boulder for us. Moleth, thank you. We turn out to this stunning drone strike deep. inside Russia. Tonight, Martha Raditz here with. new reporting on how Ukraine pulled this off. Dozens of Russian warplanes set on fire by Ukrainian.

drones sent right into Russia and what look like. shipping containers, the drones then lifting up. out of those containers and flying straight. for their targets. Tonight, Martha Reddett's interviewing President. Zelensky, what comes next? And where does this leave the peace talks? Tonight, Russia reeling from Ukraine's astonishing. and unprecedented drone attacks on military. airfields all across Russia. These remarkable videos, showing what Ukraine says,

are some of the more than 40 Russian warplanes, including nuclear-capable bombers, set ablaze, estimated to be more than 30 percent of Russia's. strategic bombers destroyed. The Ukrainian drone smuggled into. Russia in what appears to be shipping containers with. retractable roofs atop trucks. Watch in this video circulating online as one of the explosive. laden drones lifts off from the container and.

heads toward its target. Ukraine's Operation Spider-Web kept secret. for more than a year. The U.S. was not given any advance notice of the. attack, but it followed devastating Russian. attacks on Ukraine. I asked Ukraine's president. about the attacks today. Do those attacks, those drone attacks on Russian aircraft, change the dynamic of the war. Martha, the Russians are trying to conduct offensive operations.

on a number of directions, and unless they will. stop, we will continue. The operation. And as for now, any end to this war. looks a long way off. Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. and Istanbul today ending quickly, and with no breakthroughs. That part of the story, not surprising, that the talks ended quickly. Martha, with us tonight, and spoke. with President Zelensky today, this was quite an extensive. military operation, Martha. The drones concealed in these makeshift containers.

going well beyond the front lines, lifting up out of the. containers and as you report there flying to their. targets multiple bases deep inside Russia. Exactly, David. It was truly remarkable planning to carry out those highly. coordinated secret attacks so deep into Russia and the. attacks did make a significant dent into Russia's military. capabilities. But so far, the Russians. have not budged in ceasefire negotiations. David. Martha Raditz with the new. reporting from Washington, Martha, thank you.

There is another story breaking tonight, the spectacular and. dangerous images coming in Mount Etna roaring back to life. Tourists seen running in fear. Americans reportedly among them tonight. As the volcano erupted nearby, the toxic gas, smoke, and. ash, billowing into the air, thousands could be. seen running to safety. A.B.T. Marcus Moore with the. images coming in tonight. Dramatic new video tonight showing the moment dozens of. tourists were forced to flee as Mount Etna erupted on the. Italian island of Sicily, the skies darkening above them,

and now reports tonight that some of them are American. Europe's tallest active volcano spewing massive columns of. toxic gas ash and rock high into the air. Listen to the roars as the earth opens up. Sending rivers of fast-moving liquid gas and rock. flowing from deep below. A helicopter tour pilot filming this video capturing the. firey spectacle from the air. If you was spectacular, I was jaw-dropping.

Some of the passenger also started crying for. the emotion was really sure of Mother Nature. Trimmers from the eruption felt in nearby towns and villages, but no damage or injuries were reported. "David, this is the fourth eruption since November of 2022. and officials say right now, today's eruption poses no threat. to the public or air travel.". Marcus Moore from London Tonight. Marcus, thank you. In Boston tonight, the dramatic moment at the Karen Reed. murder trial in the death of her Boston police. officer boyfriend. Tonight the witness, the Karen Reed's team, called to the stand.

and what she said did their witness backfire. you'll hear the moment and what that officer said. Map government following the trial again tonight. Tonight Karen reads defense rolling out its alternate theory. that it wasn't Karen Reed who killed her. Boston police officer, boyfriend, Jon. O'Keefe by allegedly reversing her Lexus SUV. into him during a blizzard in January, 2022, but others. And that police covered it up the so-called thin blue wall.

Have you ever heard of something called. blue wall of silence? Is there anybody here protecting? I have no one to protect. Today, the defense calling former. Canton police officer Kelly Devere to the stand. She was a combative witness. I am put on the stand in a murder trial. I don't know why I'm here. I have no connection to this case and this shocking. exchange followed the defense urging her to repeat a claim. She made two years ago about seeing that. Lexus SUV at the police station, which she. later recanted because it was factually.

in correct she said. Is that her? Did you understand my question? Yes, I did. You threatened to charge me with perjury during our phone call. prior to the first trial if I didn't lie on the. stand right now. I'm telling you I did not see anything factually. the prosecution alleging weaves SUV caused these. marks on O'Keefe's arm, but the defense maintaining. that O'Keefe was beaten inside a fellow officers. home bitten by a dog and then dragged outside to. die in the snow. The whole truth and nothing about.

I do. A forensic pathologist called by. REGE team testifying that the wounds were. consistent with a mulling by an animal. Those wounds were inflicted as the result of a dog attack. And David, we're already in the seventh week of this trial. And we're told the defense is case and I have over 90 names on. their witness list could easily stretch into next week. David Matt Guffman following this case, her chief national. correspondent Matt, thank you. Now to the warnings and I for millions of Americans, the Canadian wildfires burning. out of control.

Of course, now the smoke over multiple states here in the US. And where it's now headed next, ABC's Alex Perez with the images. and the air quality warning now for. billions. David, those wildfires in Canada. prompting a state of emergency there and air alerts here. Now the massive amounts of smoke billowing from. the fires over the border, keeping. parts of the upper Midwest under smoky. skies for days now authorities issuing. air quality alerts across several states here in the. upper Midwest the smoke now shifting as far. south as Georgia and the Carolinas but some good.

news here in Minneapolis thunderstorms are on the. way that wind and rain expected to help clear. the smoke out of the area David let's hope it pushes. it right out of the way Alex thank you in addition. of course to the smoke millions tonight racing for. the severe storm so let's get right to chief. meteorologist ginger Z and ginger back to what Alex was. talking about this smoke is tonight. Yeah, this is round for parts of northern min. image. We just got in from the Canadian border. It is that you can barely see.

which by the way has kicked up through the high plains. Minnesota. When that cold tomorrow, you will see that. and the thunderstorms, but storms in the afternoon. in the morning. We move on to night. President Trump's massive budget bill several Republican. senators have just arrived back on the hill tonight and late. today what they're now saying about this and the senator who. told Constitutional Congress to take a look at the bill.

We're all going to die after their concerns. over Medicaid cuts. Here's Mary Bruce. Tonight, senators arriving back at the Capitol ready to. debate the president's so-called "big, beautiful" bill, but. already a handful of Republicans enough to tank the bill are.

voicing serious concerns. "It's just not a conservative thing to do, and I told him. I can't support the bill.". Republicans worried the bill is estimated to add $3.8. trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years. It extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts. and promises to cut federal spending by. some 1.5 trillion dollars, but some Republicans are concerned. about what's on the chopping block, including cuts. to Medicaid, more than 8 million Americans. could lose their health insurance over a decade.

In Iowa, Senator Joni Ernst sparked. outrage when she appeared to dismiss a constituents. concern that people will die. "They are not eligible, so they will be coming off. So, people are not, well, we all are going to die.". But Ernst is now doubling down, mocking those concerns with. a sarcastic apology, recorded by a cemetery. I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium.

understood that yes, we are all going to. perish from this earth. So I apologize. And I'm really, really glad that I did not have to bring up. the subject of the tooth fairy as well. And tonight the White House is threatening. Republicans who oppose this bill will pay a political. price. David. Mary Bruce at the White House tonight.

Mary, thank you. When we come back on this busy. Monday night, the deadly holdman explosion, the blast captured. on a neighbor's surveillance and you'll see it. And now we've learned about the. victim tonight. Also, those baby eagles that. thousands have been watching that nest live. And you're going to see the. moment right here tonight night, taking flight in its. spectacular. And look at this tonight, the remarkable rescue. effort right off the east coast, the plane crashing. into the Atlantic at night, the. urgent effort to get to the people on. board in a moment here. Tonight here, newly released images of that urgent.

rescue off Florida's east coast, a. small plane going down to the Atlantic. last night up to four miles from shore right near Viral Beach, a. sheriff's helicopter with night vision, spotting the pilot and passengers treading water. The chopper guiding rescue boats to their location, the ocean, all three pulled from the water, treated for minor injuries. The sheriff now saying the rescue was like looking. for a needle in a haystack, just incredible. We've now learned tonight that Navy veteran has died. inside that house explosion just outside. Kansas City, Missouri. A next door neighbor's home surveillance, showing the blast. Family members now saying that victim was a veteran.

When we come back here tonight, the actor. from a well-known show, "Shot and Killed Outside. is Home" and what we've now learned about this. And at "Long Last Tonight," you'll see the. moment those baby eagles, the first baby. eagle, taking flight. To the index tonight, an actor known for his roles. in King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation, was shot and killed outside his home in San Antonio, Texas. police say Jonathan Joss was shot multiple times on. his property near the road.

He died at the scene. The suspect and neighbor has now been arrested. tonight authorities investigating the motive. When we come back here, so many of you tracking those baby. eagles right here with us, the first one taking flight. in a moment here. Folly tonight, America's strong thousands rooting for. the baby eagles taking flight. Tonight, we all know the saying they grow. up so fast and they do.

The nonprofit friends of Big Bear Valley. documenting the eagles and sharing them online, classrooms watching and cheering them on, including Mrs. Arnaurich's third grade class. in Arcadia, California, the children watching live.
