We did have a tragically averted today.

Attack averted.

Atlanta police arrest a man with an assault rifle after they say he threatened to shoot up the world's busiest airport.

Also tonight, the art of the steel.

The search for the brazen thieves who took just four minutes to swipe priceless jewels from the Louvre.

A crash in the night. A glitch in Amazon's cloud services,

knocks out websites and apps around the world.

And the battle to save a fish of distinction from extinction.

You're preserving an American icon.

Yes, it's the last species of paddlefish alive.

From CBS News headquarters in New York, this is the CBS Evening News.

Good evening, I'm Maurice Dubois.

I'm John Dickerson.

We begin tonight with a chilling story of what might have been.

The police today arrested a man, they say, was planning to open

fire with an assault rifle at the world's busiest airport, Hartsfield Jackson, in Atlanta.

Nearly 300,000 travelers passed through that airport each day, and the police say they arrested

the man as he was checking out the domestic terminal. His weapon, they say, was still in his pickup truck,

parked outside. The police did not say what the man's motive might have been. They described him

as mentally challenged and say they were tipped off by his family. Skylar Henry is at the airport

in Atlanta with the latest on the investigation. Skyler.

John and Maurice, good evening to you. Officers made that at rest right where I'm standing less than 15 minutes following that warning from a neighboring police department.
