[Fredricka Whitfield, Cnn Anchor:] All right, let's talk about something Randi's been showing you all morning long. We're going to show you the latest stop on the route for a shuttle that has traveled 122 miles on the street and now to the shuttle "Endeavour" logging its last few miles on the streets of L.A. Huge crowds are turning out to see the retiring spacecraft winding its way through the city to its final resting place, the California Science Center. John Zarrella and Casey Wian are covering this story from different vantage points. We'll start with you, John. You're at a staging area where the shuttle is stopping for a public ceremony. Some might argue that it seemed like it was at a standstill, going just 2 miles per hour. But now it really has stopped, putting the brakes on for this ceremony. What will take place?
[John Zarrella, Cnn Correspondent:] Yes, absolutely. In fact, they got here quite a bit early today, ahead of schedule so they've been sitting here a lot longer than they had anticipated and expected. We are at the Old Forum where the Los Angeles Lakers used to play a little basketball back in the day before they moved. And you know, it gave an opportunity for thousands of people in the Englewood area to come out and see the space shuttle. They had a marching band here. They've had music playing. "Endeavour" has been sitting there for the better part of an hour. A lot longer than we had anticipated, Fredricka, and I am joined by Stephanie Stilson who works for NASA and has been in charge of preparing all three of the space shuttle orbiters for their retirement. And Stephanie, just a great reception from the people in Los Angeles, right?
[Stephanie Stilson, Nasa:] Absolutely. From the minute we got here, prior to offloading, before the "Endeavour" even got here, great support from the folks at Los Angeles International Airport and the surrounding communities. So it's been very welcoming.
[Zarrella:] Now from your perspective, you know, the shuttle retiring like this, there had been concerns because of the close quarters. There are areas where there's not much clearance.
[Stilson:] Very true. In fact, in some cases it's about an inch from wing tip to wall along the way. That's why we're using these special motorized transporters along the way. It allows precise movement, very slow. We won't go more than 2 miles per hour anywhere along the route and much slower in these tight areas, but we've done very well. In fact, the lowest clearance we've gone through already. It was 59 feet, a power line across, a tag line. We're at 56 feet at the top of the vertical stabilizer. Cleared it no problem, but we were watching and going slowly along that route.
[Zarrella:] I bet you were. Stephanie and I are going to be watching it all day, as it moves from here, Fredricka, about six more miles to go until they get to the California Science Center. Once they leave there, they are going to go to a local area mall where there's another big celebration plan and then on. But what an amazing, amazing couple of days and opportunity the folks in the Los Angeles area have had to see the spacecraft going down the streets of L.A. and really an outpouring here from the people that none of us really expected, just tremendous outpouring from these folks.
[Whitfield:] Yes, incredible sight and folks are there, you know, with their cameras, with their phones snapping off pictures left and right. Thanks so much, John Zarrella. Keep us posted throughout the afternoon. Casey Wian also out there in Los Angeles awaiting the arrival of the space shuttle where another vantage point for folks to see it up close and personal Casey.
[Casey Wian, Cnn Correspondent:] Fredricka, this is about as close as you are going to get.
[Whitfield:] There you are. You're actually right there.
[Wian:] To move the shuttle
[Whitfield:] No. All right, we're going to have to try this again when we have another signal. Another shot at a better signal to get Casey Wian who is OK, let's try it again, Casey. OK, well, we're not able to hear him. You can see him. He really is in the shadow of the space shuttle "Endeavour." What an incredible sight and vantage point. We'll try to re-establish a connection with him about this historic movement for the space shuttle, of course it's parked right now. But it will be continuing to move its 2 miles per hour in order to make it to the California Science Museum. It's travelled in all, 122 million miles in space and now making yet another trek before it meets its final resting stop. Of course, you can continue to watch the progress of the shuttle. We're going to keep a little shot right there on the bottom of your screen there to follow the shuttle's movements. Of course, you can also watch it on cnn.com live stream as well throughout the afternoon. All right, Colorado now. There's a manhunt on for a killer of a 10- year-old girl. Police say they have found the body of Jessica Ridgeway. She was reported missing a week ago. Jessica was last seen leaving school leaving for school, that is. An FBI spokesperson says they will not rest until Jessica's killer is caught. As for the community, they will come together for a balloon release later on this afternoon to celebrate young Jessica's life. And then on to Pakistan now, three more suspects are under arrest in connection with the shooting of a teen activist. Already over 100 people have been detained in that attack. The young girl is now fighting for her life in a hospital. Shot by Taliban for speaking out for her right to go to school, supporters gathered all over Pakistan to pray for her recovery. All right, back in the U.S. now, a troubling incident at President Barack Obama's campaign office in Denver. Police say a shot was fired at the office yesterday, shattering the window. People were inside the building at the time, but luckily no one was hurt. Police say they don't have a suspect yet, but they are investigating a possible suspicious car last seen at the scene. All right, the ACLU says some students in a Michigan School District are not reading at grade level. So that group is now suing the state and education leaders. Our legal guys will have an opinion or two on this one.
