12:02 pm
there's going to be a raindrop and snowflake that comes down at the same time. you don't get accumulation with that. what you do get with that, patterson, up into northern bour ban county, snow on the leaves are going to make it break. all of the power lines are going to come down. 15 inch ts of snow. rapidly, though, as you get past the delaware water gap. those numbers are significantly more. you're going to see a lot more rain. you never get enough snow in new york city. the winds are going to be 30 to 50 miles per hour with this. all of a sudden you have snow and snow on the leaves and branches. the branchs are going to break. new york city, this is what it looks like. all the leaves are not on the
12:03 pm
branches. i called my parents in the poconos and they are gone. as you get closer to the shore, the leaves are still there. down to hartford, connecticut. we could see a million people without power. >> boy, oh boy. thank you, chad myers. appreciate it. now to barbara starr. she's at the pentagon. a larger vet group is demanding answers with the occupy oakland incident that landed a marine in the hospital. >> it's the country's largest organization of veterans, mainly young veterans from that war. they are a very mainstream group. they focus on veterans health care, homelessness, jobs issues. they have just this afternoon put out a statement calling for an investigation into what happened to scott olson, an iraq
12:04 pm
veteran hurt so badly tuesday night in occupy oakland protest. let me read the statement to you. it says, quote, we expect to see a full and complete investigation into the circumstances of this incident. it's what scott and all americans deserve. iraq and afghanistan veterans come from varied background and represent diverse opinions. the strength of the new community lies in our shared commitment to country and veterans like all americans should actively participate in the ongoing conversation about america's future and their safety as a paramount concern. what happened to this young man, suffering a skull fracture in the occupy oakland has resonated across the country and now for the first time we see an indication of a very deepress son nation, if you will, feeling by the mainstream veterans community, at least a group that
12:05 pm
represents a significant number of them, don. >> barbara starr, appreciate it. customers baulk at debit card fees. next on reporter roulette is alison kosik at the new york stock exchange. >> surprise, surprise, most banks are not going to follow in bank of america's lead. now vrivals say it's not becaus of the outrage over b of a, but that reaction has influenced their thinking a little bit. chase is going to be continuing testing its debit card fees through next month and "the wall street journal" says chase will not make those fees stick. same with credit card issuers. pnc, key corp, you are not going to see any monthly debit card fees there either. >> do they have fewer fees or finding other ways for them to charge us? >> oh, you know what? we could end up, don, paying in
12:06 pm
other ways and we probably already are. look at checking accounts. most are not free anymore. only 45% of checking accounts are free. compare that to 2009 when 60% were free. the reality is that these banks still have to make up for lost revenue. there are new regulations in place cutting in bank profit. so, yes, i think that you can safely say that banks will get creative and make up for that lost revenue. >> alison kosik, thanks. next up, susan candiotti. a very special day. >> reporter: don, that's right. 125 years ago this day the statue of liberty opened to the public, back in 1886. and this date, what makes a difference, is shave installed torch cam over the statue of liberty. five web cams are rolling.

poor masses and we all need to take a look at the poem here again and i felt theres with a great appreciation for what it stood for. >> reporter: while the tourists visiting the statue of liberty are lucky, they are shutting it down tomorrow for $27 million worth of renovations in the base of the statue, making it safer, fire safety measures, including a new elevator, for example. but you can still come out to visit the statue of liberty and ellis island remains opened as well. don, back to you. >> thank you, susan candiotti. we have some breaking news into cnn. it voinvolves an earthquake and i'm not talking about the one in turkey that was a 7.2 magnitude. this one is a 6.9 that just hit peru. 6.9 earthquake that just hit

brark breaking news in peru, a 6.9 earthquake. chad, what do you know here? >> unlike the earthquake that just happened in peru a couple of days ago, this did not happen -- or, in turkey. unlike that one. this is in peru here. about 180 miles from lima. let me take you here. this is the coast of peru. it was almost on the offshore island. nothing is considered a tsunami threat. as we zoom in, all the way in here, lima, peru, it's a very unpopulated desert area here. not much rain. there is nothing here except a couple of coastal towns. not really concerns so much about a 6.9 away from the city. i'm sure they felt it in lima and i'm sure that they are out in the streets now waiting for the aftershocks, but it was not
12:13 pm
something so close that we're going to see the devastation like we saw in turkey. >> not close to the city center. we'll be watching that and getting the pictures in to our viewers. >> more on breaking news that we have. out of south carolina, a gunman is on the loose after a shooting in greenville. we're getting reports that nearly a dozen schools have just lifted their lockdowns. here's what we know right now. an officer tried pulling a guy over but then he took off and when he finally found the car, the suspect started shooting. >> it's very dangerous because the fact that they will open fire on an officer who was checking for a vehicle that had a tag that was inappropriate. we don't know the circumstance or what the individual has done, why the individual has done this, we don't know the facts at this point. police are calling the attack an ambush. we're monitoring the situation for you. also developing right now,

generation of royals will still have a shot at the throne. whenever the dutch and duchess of cambridge reproduce, right? >> reporter: that's right. he wants to change the laws so that katherine has a girl and can go on to be queen even if she has a younger brother. there are british rules involving the british monarchy. and he can't change it on his own because the british monarchy is the monarchy in 15 other commonwealth countries around the world. he's had a chance to change this and he has reached some sort of an agreement. the prime minister described what it means, in essence. >> okay. but, max -- >> put simply, if the duke and duchess of cambridge have a girl, that girl would one day be
12:20 pm
our queen. >> don, it's simple idea but quite complex to do. >> it's not just about the royal genders. the other change announced regarding the heir to the throne. >> yes, this is quite significant. the british monarch is also head of the church of england. no catholics are allowed into the an nar key. it's a rule that no british monarch can marry catholic. so they are changing that. it's really odd because having a same-sex marriage as well they can't mary a catholic. so this is about modernizing. that means you could have a head of a mary a catholic, which is
12:21 pm
historic. >> same-sex marriage. a whole lot running through my head there. thank you, very much, max foster, we appreciate your reporting. more on the breaking news, a 6.9 earthquake in peru. information and pictures as we get them here at cnn. we're back. moments away. every time a local business opens its doors or creates another laptop bag or hires another employee, it's not just good for business. it's good for the entire community. at bank of america, we know

breaking news in peru. chad myers, what have you learned? >> maybe an aftershock or two, don. unlike the turkey quake a couple of days ago, not really located in any kind of a populated area. there are a couple much beach roads here but i can't even find a home anywhere along the coast. so certainly no resorts here. not a real big city anywhere. now, at 6.9, you can probably expect 100 mile radius to feel it. they probably felt shaking, maybe some plates were rattling. but unlike the earthquake on the
12:25 pm
east coast a couple of months ago where the entire east coast shook for a while, even though it was a virginia earthquake, washington, d.c., had damage. i don't see that happening here. there are coastal cracks in the crust. they were going to see a localized quake and damage but certainly not what we saw. not the tens and thousands of people without power and hundreds dead. this is not a populated area, don. >> chad, as you continue to talk, i want to tell our ireporters and if you know anyone out of peru, go to ireport.com or go to cnn.com/ireport. but since it wasn't a big city, like what happened on turkey, not a lot of people will be affected? >> certainly i believe they felt it in lima. no question. but 180 miles from where the epicenter was and it was 21 miles deep. that tells us there's a little
12:26 pm
padding of the crust as well. a shallow quake like we had in '80, that did such a great deal of damage in port-au-prince but here 180 miles away from the biggest city, there are smaller cities, no question about it, but you have to understand how they built some of the homes here and it's a concrete block and mud in the middle. it's called grout, whatever you want to do. those types of homes are not earthquake resistant. they will shake and fall. those localized shakes, a significant quake for at least 1,000 people but not 100,000 or a million people, don. >> thank you, chad. cnn.com slash la cnn.com/ireport. all right. 6.9 quake in peru. we're woukrking on the details.

want or have to go through. but imagine learning about your child's passing the way this woman did. >> on facebook, it was on the news, that's how i had to learn of my son's death. we waited all the way up until the next day and still got no phone calls. >> she learned about it, holly, on facebook? on facebook? holly hughes is on the case. how does this happen? >> well, unfortunately, this family had a divorce in it and so the father was listed as the emergency contact. this young man was killed during a football injury and it was fatal to him and the father was notified and he did not pass on to anyone that mother should be notified. so, of course, if she's not an emergency contact, the school doesn't know to call her. >> it can happen to anybody in a divorce and the speed at which things travel on the internet. >> unfortunately, what it comes
12:34 pm
down to, don, is not a matter of the law because whoever's listed on that emergency contact, think about t. the school could not give information out. if the person is not authorized. because that would be a violation of the law. so what we're talking about is just common decency and passion. clearly a distraught father would think that the mother should be notified even if it is a divorce. this is just horrible. >> yeah, it is horrible. let's go to case number two. another bid for freedom by the american man jailed in aruba in connection with his travel companion, robyn gardner. gary giordano's lawyers said that his life is being destroyed. the judge was expected to rule pretty quickly. do we have a decision? >> we don't have a decision yet. and i'll be interested because when he initially gave the prosecution a certain amount of time, the understanding would that be they were conducting an investigate and they have sent
12:35 pm
out cell phone records and dumps on his computer and they are awaiting on that analysis. they have things in the united states, in holland, several other countries. so when they went back to court today they had something to tell the judge. they have confirmed that blood found on a towel is in fact robyn gardners. so they are working. they are working forward. they are not just holding him without some type of an investigation happening. so the think the judge is likely to extend his stay there. >> all right. holly hughes on the case there. we appreciate it. >> thank you. christopher lost his life in afghanistan last saturday. you've probably never heard of him. but we want you to he was on his 14th deployment. that's right. 14. that's more than any other ranger killed in combat. he enlisted in 2001 and was a member of the 75th ranger regiment based at joint base lewis mccord washington.
12:36 pm
throughout his military career he told his family not to make a big fuss if he were killed. with all due respect to he and his family, on one mission he was part of the ranger mission that rescued jessica lynch when she was captured by iraqi forces in 2003. she said later that he and the other rangers were "true heros." the army agrees as they call him irreplaceable. the guy you want by your side when the chips were down. he earned two bronze stars during his decade of service. a third will be given and an ied in afghanistan ended his life. two other soldiers were also killed. sergeant was just 29 years old. he leaves behind a wife and two small girls. we'll be right back.
