BERMAN: We do have breaking news tonight from a place where you really don't want breaking news, certainly not gunfire. Talking about the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas North and South, shots were, indeed, fired there, just a short time ago, which is early morning local time. We're getting this information in just now. A North Korean soldier defected, and we just learned that South Korean troops fired about 20 warning shots as their North Korean counterparts approached the actual line of demarcation. That's a red line, if there ever was one. The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff went on to say that South Korea heard gunshots on two occasions at 10:13 a.m. and 10:16 a.m. local time coming from the North Korean side, but there have been no signs of the shots landing in the South. And so far, no report of any injuries, thank goodness. Now, back in November, you will remember this video. A North Korean defector was shot a number of times while trying to escape. You can see this remarkable video right there. The North Koreans pursuing the defector as that, as that person made a mad dash for safety. That defector now, the one you're seeing in the video, is in South Korea custody, has been for some time, as is the one tonight, safely now apparently over the border and in the custody of South Koreans. A lot of people, though, understandably on edge in the Korean Peninsula. Again, the breaking news, gunshots on the Korean border. Thanks so much for watching "360". I'm John Berman. Time now for "CNN Tonight" and Don Lemon.
