US soldier Travis King "willfully" crossed into North Korea, the US defense secretary said. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he was believed to be in North Korean custody after he "willfully and without authorization" crossed the border between South Korea and North Korea. A witness on the same tour as King told CBS News what happened at the North Korean border. It is unclear what King's motivations were, and if he was defecting to North Korea. It's also not clear what North Korea will now do with him.
