has there been a culture shift in this country around school safety since columbine? >> we have learned so much about how we can identify kids who are at risk and how to support them, to figure out exactly who does actually pose a threat, and to address that. >> reporter: rehema ellis, nbc news. coming up, the new health warning about fake botox. more people now hospitalized. and the video shocking animal lovers across the country. so what happened to the people who tried to take selfies with bear cubs? that's ahead. . breztri for my copd, i had bad days.
