Caught on tape: Female crime scene investigator targeted for execution
CBSN
Who wanted Nicki Lenway dead? That was the question police were asking on the evening of April 20, 2022. Around 7:30 p.m., Lenway had pulled into the parking lot of FamilyWise parenting center to pick up her 5-year-old son, Callahan. She was halfway between her car and the door when she was ambushed from behind and shot multiple times at point-blank range.
Miraculously, Lenway survived, telling "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty, "I fell to the ground. ... And the shooter stands over me and continues to try to shoot." The mystery of who tried to kill Lenway is unraveled in "Who Wanted Nicki Lenway Dead?" airing Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023, on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
After firing at Lenway — hitting her in the arm and neck — the shooter fled. Left bleeding and struggling to breathe, Lenway called 911, but when the operator answered Nicki realized she was unable to speak.
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
