A Florida grand jury indicted Raul Castro, the former leader of Cuba’s Communist regime, with murder and other charges for the 1996 shootdown of American humanitarian airplanes. Plus, tens of thousands of people are under evacuation orders as wildfires spread in Southern California. Investigators are also looking into whether a shipwrecked sailor may have sparked a brush fire after shooting an emergency flare. And candidates endorsed by President Trump won or advanced in 37 Republican primary races overnight, while two longtime Trump critics were defeated. The victories underscored Trump’s continued influence over Republican voters. And a car exploding near Wall Street sent frantic pedestrians fleeing for safety. Now the investigation into what caused the blast. These stories and much more on tonight’s broadcast.
