How his family's urgent warning may have saved lives. Also tonight the major global outage paralyzed.

00:30Parts of the internet. Banks, airlines, even government sites all impacted. What caused the massive outage? Manhunt in Paris. Thieves raiding the Louvre. Smashing display cases. Stealing necklaces, tiaras and jewels. The new timeline tonight showing the criminals inside for only four minutes. The deadly plane crash. A cargo flight skidding off the runway. Killing two. Plus this plane's emergency landing after a lithium battery burst into flames.

01:00On board. Anger at the courthouse. Protest at the murder trial of the former deputy accused of fatally shooting Sonia Massey in her home after she called police for help. Plus two Texas parents arrested. After allegedly leaving their six month old baby alone at the beach for nearly an hour. Online dangers. Why Florida's attorney general is calling Roblox. The popular kids gaming platform. A breeding ground for predators.

01:30This is NBC nightly news with Tom.

01:32And good evening. Authorities say a convicted felon with what police are calling mental challenges arrived at the world's busiest airport today with a semi-automatic weapon. They say he intended to inflict harm to as many people as he could.

01:5049 year old Billy Cagle. You see him here was arrested. Accused of threatening to open fire at the airport. His family calling police alerting them that the suspect was streaming his threats on social media. And you see this video here. You can see him inside the airport near the busy TSA area. That's where police caught up with him. Ultimately taking him down. And needing two sets of handcuffs.

02:12Because of his eyes. Outside in his truck. They reported finding an AR-15 assault rifle. And 27 rounds of ammunition. The suspect is facing charges including making terroristic threats. And possession of a firearm by a felon. Police say that call from his family likely prevented a tragedy. Aaron Gilchrist is at the airport tonight. He starts us off.

02:34How are you? Good. How are you? This body cam video shows the moment police say a potential tragedy was averted. Put your hands behind your back.

02:42Atlanta police officers detaining 49 year old Billy Joe Cagle. Who officials say threatened to shoot up the busiest airport in the world. This individual did have a semi-automatic weapon. And this individual was mentally challenged. And when you have those combinations together, it can turn out to be deadly. Surveillance video shows Cagle parking his pickup truck right outside Hartsfield Jackson Airport's South Terminal shortly before 930 this morning. Once inside, he's seen walking right up to a TSA checkpoint.

03:11He seemed to be very interested in the TSA check-in area, which you can see was heavily, heavily crowded with travelers.

03:18Authorities say they were tipped off about what Cagle was up to from his own family members.

03:23Cartersville Police Department was alerted by the family of Mr. Cagle that he was streaming on social media, that he was headed to the airport in their words to shoot it up.

03:32After receiving that call from Cagle's family, officers in Atlanta canvassed the area. Less than 15 minutes later, police had the 6'3", 320-pound suspect in custody.

03:42Authorities believe Cagle was headed back to his truck to get an assault rifle, which had 27 rounds of ammunition. He was unarmed when he was taken into custody.

03:51Tonight, authorities grateful to the officers who spotted Cagle and those who said something.

03:5527 or more lives could have been lost today.

04:00Aaron joins us now live from the airport. Aaron, the suspect's family saved a lot of lives. Do we know who exactly they called and how quickly that information was relayed?

04:08Well, investigators, Tom, say that Cagle's family reached out to Cartersville Police about 50 miles away from here where Cagle lives.

04:17They relayed the information from the family along with a photo to Atlanta police within minutes of getting that call, as we understand it.

04:24Right now, Cagle is facing several charges, including terroristic threats and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

04:30Tom?

04:31Great police work there. All right, Aaron, we thank you for that.

04:33To the other big story tonight, that massive global outage that paralyzed millions, unable to use popular apps and websites.

04:40It hit everything from airlines to banks to some businesses.

04:44They had to resort to pen and paper. Here's Brian Chung.

04:48From United Airlines to Apple to Slack, a long list of companies all going dark for periods of time today amid a massive worldwide outage.

04:58Canva is down. Adobe Express is also experiencing some problems.

05:02A global debacle traced back to one company, Amazon.

05:07Not the company's e-commerce business, but its cloud services, responsible for hosting the data of some of the largest companies in the world.

05:14From Snapchat.

05:15Um, guys, what is going on with Snapchat?

05:18To Venmo.

05:19Money is in there, but Venmo is down.

05:21Students left in the dark as classroom software went down.

05:25Small businesses like the True Grit Cafe in Colorado having to take it back to pen and paper to take orders.

05:30We're taking handwritten credit card information down and hope that we don't transpose the numbers that way.

05:36Worry that this is going to impact at least your bottom line for sales today?

05:40Absolutely.

05:41It even impacted Amazon's own e-commerce site.

05:44When we put all of our eggs in a few very large baskets, we have the potential for something like today's outage to happen.

05:51The trouble began overnight, with Amazon acknowledging increased error rates.

05:56By early morning, the company claimed that the issue had been fully mitigated.

05:59But by midday, Amazon said that customers still continue to experience increased error rates.

06:05Experts say it doesn't look like a hack.

06:07When the source is quickly and easily discovered, it usually points to an accident or a misconfiguration rather than some type of attack.

06:15Brian joins us now live in studio.

06:17Brian, when people think Amazon, they think shopping.

06:20They know it's massive.

06:20But AWS is also huge.

06:22Yeah, and by the way, Amazon does say that they expect to have this issue with a full recovery this evening.

06:28Down Detector is a site that actually tracks how many issues there might be on a given website.

06:32And they say that there were 11 million plus reports in addition to over 2,500 companies that were impacted.

06:39So the question of scale, it shows that that, combined with that Microsoft CrowdStrike issue you remember last year, it just shows how fragile this global IT system is.

06:46All right, Brian Chung on this tonight.

06:48Brian, we thank you for that.

06:49Now to the urgent investigation after a suspicious hunting stand was found in view of the tarmac where President Trump's plane lands in South Florida.

06:57Gabe Gutierrez joins us now.

06:58And Gabe, the FBI says they're working quickly to find out more information?

07:02Yes, Tom.

07:02The deputy FBI director said today the Secret Service was very concerned about the discovery, which happened during a perimeter advanced search last Friday.

07:12He says the elevated hunting stand in this tree is now being examined at the bureau's lab.

07:17It was found near Palm Beach International Airport and had a direct sight line to where President Trump exits Air Force One.

07:24A federal official says it could be an old hunting stand, a perch used by a photographer, or a possible threat after two assassination attempts on President Trump last year.

07:35Tom?

07:35Yeah, they're taking no chances.

07:36All right, Gabe, we thank you for that.

07:38Now to the all-out manhunt after that daring heist in France.

07:41Thieves breaking into the world-famous Louvre and getting away with priceless jewels.

07:47We have new details tonight on just how they did it.

07:49Molly Hunter's in Paris.

07:50A shocking daytime heist that stunned the world.

07:55And tonight, the urgent manhunt now underway for the thieves still on the run.

07:59Sunday morning, minutes after the Louvre Museum opened to the public, authorities say a truck mounted with an extendable ladder drove up to the south side of the museum.

08:08The car drove right up here to the side of the Apollo Gallery.

08:11That ladder went straight up to the balcony.

08:14You know, you can see it right there.

08:16The window is boarded up.

08:17They used grinders to break that window.

08:19The alarms were sounding, and they headed for the Apollo Gallery.

08:23At 9.34 a.m., two thieves entered the Apollo Gallery, inside for just four minutes, according to the prosecutor's office.

08:31In this video, widely published in French media, you can see one of them wearing a high-vis vest.

08:37They snatched nine priceless items in all, dropping a diamond-encrusted crown on the way out.

08:42The thieves came down the same ladder.

08:44There were motorbikes waiting, and they made their getaway through Paris traffic.

08:48Two members of the team waiting on motorbikes, and by 9.38 a.m., they were gone.

08:54Experts say it's now a race against the clock before the gemstones are removed or cut up and sold.

09:00Outside the most visited museum in the world today, disappointment.

09:03To our disappointment, it was closed because of a break-in.

09:08This is like a movie scene.

09:11Honestly, I'm obsessed with this heist.

09:14French media report a leaked audit of security found that the Louvre has routinely tightened the security budget.

09:21And tonight, French authorities are beefing up security at cultural sites across the country.

09:26Across France tonight, this is seen as a massive security failure.

09:29And one of the things investigators are looking at is whether the alarm system worked correctly.

09:34Meanwhile, no word yet on when the museum will reopen.

09:37Tom?

09:37Molly Hunter from Paris tonight.

09:39Now to the investigation into a plane skidding off a runway and into a vehicle, killing two people.

09:45It's the latest in a string of aviation incidents.

09:47Here's Tom Costello.

09:49From an onboard fire to a plane crash and shattered cockpit windscreen, a busy Monday for aviation investigators.

09:56In Hong Kong, an Emirates Air 747 cargo plane arriving from Dubai lost control after landing,

10:03crashing through a fence and striking a security vehicle before sliding into the sea.

10:08All four air crew members rescued, but two people in the car were killed.

10:12Meanwhile, over China, fire and smoke poured from an overhead bin after Air China says a lithium-ion battery spontaneously ignited during a flight to Seoul.

10:23Flood attendants and passengers smothered the fire as the pilots made an emergency landing in Shanghai.

10:28No injuries, but underscoring the global risk posed by lithium-ion batteries and power banks overheating and catching fire.

10:36In the U.S., the FAA reports 62 incidents this year through September.

10:40People just need to understand the risk associated with those, and in particular, power banks.

10:46Investigators also looking into the shattered windshield at 36,000 feet on a United flight diverting to Salt Lake.

10:53Analysts say possibly due to a heating element in the glass.

10:57The pilot's arm cut and bloody.

10:59Also tonight, we're watching airport delays nationwide.

11:02Since the government shutdown, the FAA has reported an increase in controllers calling out sick as they work without pay.

11:09Tom?

11:10All right, Tom, we thank you.

11:11Now to the protest over the high-profile trial of a former deputy accused of killing Sonia Massey.

11:17Massey was shot and killed in her own home last year, sparking protests then.

11:22Maggie Vespa has the latest, and a warning.

11:24Some of the video you're about to see is disturbing.

11:26On day one of jury selection and former deputy Sean Grayson's first-degree murder trial, anger outside this Illinois courthouse.

11:40I watched the video, and I feel like, you know, like the rest of the world feel like it was unjustified.

11:46Last summer, 36-year-old Sonia Massey called 911 about a possible prowler, according to the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office.

11:57Body cameras captured Deputy Sean Grayson responding to her home.

12:01The mother of two, whose family said she struggled with mental health issues, then picked up a pot of boiling water.

12:07You better fuck your ass, or I got it, I'll fucking shoot you right in your fucking face.

12:11Okay, I'm sorry.

12:12Drop the fucking pot, the fucking, drop the fucking pot.

12:15Drop the fucking pot.

12:17Grayson was fired and pleaded not guilty, saying in court documents he feared for his life.

12:23Personnel records later showed he had a history of disciplinary issues at previous police jobs.

12:28Grayson faces the possibility of life in prison, his attorney declining to comment to NBC News.

12:33The case garnering national attention, the judge moving proceedings to another county.

12:39Both sides today grilling potential jurors about their opinions on this video and law enforcement.

12:45Legal experts say self-defense may be a tough sell.

12:49When it comes to law enforcement, they are trained in how to react in certain circumstances.

12:54They're taught de-escalation measures, and that deadly force is the last course of action to take.

13:00Jury selection concluding late today, with ten women and five men seated, including alternates.

13:06Opening statements now set for Wednesday.

13:09Tom.

13:09Okay, Maggie, thank you.

13:11If you have kids or grandkids, you probably have heard of Roblox.

13:14It's a popular gaming app among children, and it's increasingly coming under fire,

13:18accused of not safeguarding kids from online predators.

13:22Tonight, Stephanie Goss reports Florida's attorney general is taking serious action against it.

13:27Tonight, the children's gaming app Roblox put on notice by Florida's attorney general.

13:32Companies like Roblox have become breeding grounds for predators to get to and have access to our kits.

13:38The AG announcing it will issue subpoenas to the company as part of a criminal investigation.

13:43We've arrested over a thousand child predators just this year, and many of these investigations lead right back to Roblox.

13:50Among them, 17-year-old Christian Scribbin, who pleaded not guilty to adult charges for allegedly convincing children as young as eight years old to share sexually explicit images.

14:02On Roblox, users can chat with each other while they create and play games.

14:06According to the Florida's AG, predators often pose as children, sometimes luring victims by paying them with the in-game currency called Robux.

14:15The company says it is cooperating with the Florida investigation, adding that it prohibits the sharing of images and video.

14:22And it has advanced safety systems to help protect users and remove bad actors.

14:27He sent a message and said, well, if I send you like $5 in the digital currency Robux, can you send me like just a selfie of yourself?

14:36Steve, who asked that we not use his last name, says his 13-year-old son was targeted by a predator on Roblox.

14:42It got progressively worse and worse and worse from there.

14:46Before long, it was, well, I know where you live at because he found out our home address.

14:52Steve is one of dozens of people around the country who have filed lawsuits against Roblox,

14:56accusing the company of not doing enough to protect children.

14:59Roblox wouldn't comment specifically on Steve's lawsuit, but said their policies are purposely stricter than many other platforms,

15:07and said they limit chat for younger users.

15:09It is on these apps. They found like a haven for this kind of thing to happen, because anyone can be anyone they want to be.

15:18And kids can be easily fooled.

15:20Yes, absolutely.

15:22Stephanie joins us live. Stephanie, let's go back to Florida. So what happens to Roblox users in that state?

15:27All right, so this is a significant step, because it means that Florida is pursuing a criminal investigation, Tom.

15:32But tonight, to be clear, there are no charges against Roblox. It is not accused of a crime.

15:37Okay, Stephanie Goss, good to see you. We're back in just a moment with the outrage tonight after a health care executive

15:43and her husband allegedly left their six-month-old baby alone, asleep, on the beach for an hour.

15:49The charges they now face.

15:53Now to those arrests of two parents on vacation in Florida, charged with leaving their six-month-old baby alone on the beach for nearly an hour.

16:01Here's Priscilla Thompson.

16:03This is a six-month-old baby girl just after she was discovered on a Florida beach by a Good Samaritan.

16:09The sheriff's department says they discovered the baby had been left alone by her parents for nearly an hour.

16:15Would you leave your six-month-old in a car for an hour? No.

16:18Would you leave your six-month-old at the house for an hour while you went to the store? No, you shouldn't.

16:22Tonight, parents Brian and Sarah Wilkes have been arrested and charged with felony child neglect.

16:27Investigators say they went for a walk with their older children Friday, leaving their six-month-old baby napping under a tent alone.

16:34In the worst case that we could have had here was a kidnapping, and nobody would have known what would have happened before that.

16:39Beachgoers told hotel staff, who called police.

16:42The sheriff's department says the parents told them.

16:45Oh, it was baby's nap time. We didn't want to disturb baby. We kind of lost track of time.

16:49What do you make of that response?

16:51Losing track of time doesn't negate the fact that you as a parent have the responsibility to take care of and to care for your child.

17:00Sarah Wilkes, a health care executive, and her husband Brian have been released on bond.

17:04They did not respond to our request for comment.

17:07Priscilla Thompson, NBC News.

17:09All right, we are back in a moment with the dramatic construction project underway at the White House.

17:14Look at this. And remember this dramatic video of rescue boats racing to save a father and daughter who went overboard on a Disney cruise?

17:21Why her mother almost faced charges for it. That's next.

17:27We are back now with new developments in the disappearance of a Philadelphia woman.

17:31Today, police confirming that human remains found at an abandoned school this weekend belonged to Kata Scott.

17:37Scott disappeared two weeks ago after borrowing her mother's car to go to work to work an overnight shift.

17:42New charges will be filed against the suspect, Keon King, who was already charged with Scott's kidnapping, according to the Philadelphia assistant district attorney.

17:51He has not yet entered a plea.

17:53And you may remember this video of father jumping in to save his five-year-old daughter after she fell from a Disney cruise.

17:59Well, now, new court documents reveal the girl fell after her mother encouraged her to sit on the porthole railing for a photo.

18:07Authorities deciding not to charge the mother, ruling that fall was an accident.

18:11And take a look at this heavy construction at the White House today.

18:15Part of the East Wing being torn down in order to build a new ballroom there.

18:18President Trump said the project will cost around $250 million from private donors.

18:24The president previously said the project wouldn't interfere with the existing structure.

18:28That's Nightly News for this Monday.

18:30I'm Tom Yamas.

18:31Thanks so much for watching.

18:32Tonight and always, we're here for you.
