"newsroom" starts right now. good morning. i'm carol costello. thank you so much for joining me. while you were sleeping, dramatic and grim end to a shooting at a new jersey mall. explosion of gunfire late last night as the westfield garden state plaza mall was closing. >> there were boom, and another boom and then another last boom right after the second one. and then glass, glass

everywhere. >> glass but no casualties, despite a thick crowd of shoppers and mall employees. police now say there's a bizarre possibility the shooter may not have wanted to hurt anyone. instead, he may have wanted someone to kill him. with the discovery of his body, it appears he failed. poppy harlow has worked the story overnight. she joins us now from paramus, new jersey. >> good morning. absolutely horrific scene unfolded behind me last night at 9:20 pm when richard shoop, who comes just a few miles away from this mall in new jersey, carried a rifle that was altered to look like an ak-47. he shot six rounds. ultimately, though, only killing himself. chaos at a shopping center in new jersey overnight. >> we heard four gunshots and everybody was scared. everybody was panicked. so we took everybody. we went in the back of the story, locked ourselves in with

13 people in total, including me sfw . >> reporter: hundreds of police, s.w.a.t. and emergency teams swarmed the garden astate mall. the gunman, 20-year-old richard shoop was discovered dead just after 3:00 am, his body found lying in a remote area of the mall. authorities say he had a self-inflicted gunshot wound. >> originally from washington township, new jersey, living in teaneck, new jersey. his body was discovered at 3:20 am this morning, just about an hour ago, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head area. he, himself, went to the area where he did this. it was at a very difficult area of the mall, behind some construction sfwlr no one else was injured in the shooting. state police say a gunman apparently fired shots at security cameras. >> he was actually wearing a red and black motorcycle helmet. the visor was actually lifted

up. i was actually able to see his face. he was a white male, wearing a full leather suit. he wasn't aiming at anything. had the gun in his hand aimlessly, walking past the apple store. he wasn't yelling, didn't seem angered. he was kind of just walking. >> reporter: authorities say he was carrying a rifle modified to look like an ak-47, stolen from his brother. >> it looked like an ak-47 but it is not an ak-47. it's where you take the handgun and modify it to make it look like something that it is not. but it is a lawful gun, owned by the brother. >> reporter: authorities say shoop has no history of mental illness, but says he abused drugs. >> we do believe that the main motive for what he did tonight was suicide, whether self inflicted or, god forbid, suicide by cop, which no one ever wants to see t looks like that was his motive. at this time, based upon what we know, it did not appear that he entered the mall to actually shoot anyone. and i say that only because it

appears that he did have ample opportunity to do that and chose not to. >> reporter: which is just a fascinating and complex twist to all of this. witnesses told authorities, carol, they could have been shot and killed by the gunman, but he chose not to do that. instead, taking his own life. you recall in our piece that the gun was stolen from the shooter's brother. we've just learned in the last hour that it was the shooter's brother who actually heard about this on the radio, on the news last night just after 10:00 pm eastern and called authorities and said i think that person in that mall might be my brother. that led them to connect the dots. i can also tell you there are teams in the mall doing a second sweep. that is routine, just to make sure that everything is clear before anyone is allowed back inside. >> poppy harlow, reporting live in paramus, new jersey, this morning. from a political powerhouse in new jersey to a colorado proposal that would allow 11

counties to leave the state, election day 2013 is shaping up to be an intriguing one. >> i need you tomorrow night. i need you badly. we have to deliver tomorrow. because the whole country is watching, everybody. the whole country is watching. they're dispirited about the way government works, look at the mess in washington, d.c. they say to themselves, nobody works for us anymore. nobody cares about the regular folks anymore. >> chris christie, as a republican, does. joining me now, mark preston. good morning. thanks for joining us. >> good morning, carol. >> so let's sken at a time on the race in new jersey for just a second. on his campaign signs you don't see the word "republican" anywhere. it almost seems as if he's saying i'm a new kind of politician, republican in new jersey, running the state just fine, working with democrats. >> in many ways, he is that, carol.

when chris christie was first running, he was a long shot. many people thought he didn't have much of a chance. the republican establishment didn't care much for chris christie. look where we are now. 2013, he is walking to re-election at this point. in many ways. we're not talking about what hes to tonight, because he is expected to win in a landslide. the question, what is he going to do tomorrow? and does he have his eyes on the white house? chris christie is one of these republicans, carol, that doesn't walk that traditional path. he is conservative in many of his views but he is also able to talk about issues and work with democrats in some ways that other republicans haven't been able to do so. if chris christie is to run for president, as many of us do think he will, look for him to try to cut through that middle path to try to attract ranking democrats, independents and not play the social conservative card, carol. >> one concern about christie has, of course, been his weight. we all know he had lap band surgery in february. this year it shall and he said

he had that lap band surgery for personal reasons. i want to show a before and after. it appears he really has lost weight. there you see it. the before is on the left-hand side of your screen. the current is on the right. what about the political impact of this? >> two ways to look at it. one, you know, as a human being you can look at him and say he is just like me. he is just like you. he is an every day person. he has struggles like we all do. of course, being overweight, obesity is something that many people struggle with. in many ways that is endearing to people and that is lost very much in discussion about chris christie. people do look at him and say why has he reached this weight? why does he have to have lap band surgery? you know, there is something to be said, though. he is taking care of it or at least trying to take care of it. i don't think his weight will become a major or much-discussed issue. with voters in the very end i don't think they're going to look at his weight and make a

decision based on that. carol? >> thank you. choices for many americans today and how those decisions could impact the nation. our team is spread out across the country, beginning with erin mcpike, in new jersey. erin, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carol. we're expecting chris christie to come vote here at this firestation in new jersey some time in the next hour or so. of course, it may not be the last time that chris christie gets a chance to vote for himself. he has been very open about the fact that he is looking at his political future and may very well use this re-election race as a launching pad for a national campaign in 2016. i have to tell you just yesterday he was campaigning with susanna martinez, the governor of new mexico. i asked chris christie if there's anyone else in the republican party that can carry his message of bichltpartisanship. and he gave the name susanna

martinez. this could be the ticket that republicans want to see in 2016. for now on a very different republican race, we'll go to peter hamby. peter? >> reporter: terry mcauliffe, democrat running for governor voted here a few hours ago. most people here in virginia expect mcauliffe, long-time party fund-raiser and long-time bill clinton confidante, to win tonight, running against ken cuccinelli. democrats have tagged him as out of the mainstream conservative. swamped by mcauliffe and his allies here. most expect mcauliffe to pull out a win in the mid to high single digits here in virginia. it's become a modern tradition in virginia that the party out of power picks up the governorship. we could see that streak end tonight. now to deb feyerick. >> hey there, peter.

thanks so much. i am deborah feyerick in new york city where democrat bill deblasio is polling 40 points ahead of his democratic challenger. former staffer for both bill and hillary clinton, progressive vowing to close the fwap between rich and poor, by raising taxes on the rich to help educate low-income children. deblasio's biracial family has resonated with voters. joe lota is much more closely aligned with the policies of billionaire mayor mike bloomberg. deblasio would be the first democratic mayor in two decades. surprising, given that the majority of voters here in new york identify as democrats. now we go to my colleague, ana cabrera. ana? >> reporter: good morning, deb. voters are voting on everything from marijuana taxes to state

education funding. 11 colorado counties in the northern part of the state, rural communities are voting on whether or not they want to secede from the state and start their own state, urban based denver legislature passing laws this they believe are not only threatening their lifestyle but hurting their livelihood. while today's vote likely isn't to become a reality in terms of secession the voters and supporters of this legislation say they hope to spread their message. we'll hear more about what the fbi has found so far and what could have driven this 23-year-old man to shoot to kill at l.a.x. friday.

fire on the tarmac sends smoke and flames into the plane's cabin. people jumping from the emergency doors and simply running for their lives. paula newton is live in ottawa, canada, and has more for you. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carol. it is a terrifying scene. people at montreal airport did confirm this happened around 5:00 eastern yesterday. it was the call of the team on board to evacuate the aircraft. with all of those flames, you don't know what could possibly

happen. they were quite lucky that the incident wasn't worse. several people were treated in hospital. i'm trying to get an indication of how severe their injuries were and how many were released overnight. the transportation safety board is on the ground investigating what kind of training the crew had, in terms of who made that decision to evacuate. were they ordered by officials on the ground to evacuate? what is possibly most unsettling besides the obvious fire there is that it does seem as if the evacuation happened in quite a harried way, and that could be the way that many people incurred those injuries. can you imagine looking out your window and seeing flames down there as the flight was getting ready to depart? >> nochlt i would be jumping from the exits myself. paula newton, thank you very much. reporting live from ottawa, canada, this morning. investigators believe they have a better idea of what was going on in paul ciancia's mind before the shooting rampage at

the los angeles international airport friends say the suspect was consumed with a hatred of tsa officers and had been planning the trip to the airport for days. one officer was killed, tw other wounded and for the first time we're hearing from one of those victims. >> i was injured while helping an elder man trying to get to a safe area. i turned around and there was a gunman and shot me twice. i got to the area where the planes were at and people were coming towards me and asking me, were you shot? what's going on? and i couldn't -- all i could think about was, you know, helping them. >> cnn's stephanie elam is live at l.a.x. with more. good morning. >> good morning, carol. we also are learning today that the fbi did issue a search warrant and did recover the phone that they believe belonged to the alleged shooter, paul ciancia. they found a battery near him or

on his person in the airport after the incident and in the car belonging to the roommate that gave him the ride. they'll be able to collect more data from this phone and get an idea of why he was so angry with the tsa. in that note he we just heard about apparently said he wanted to instill fear in tsa agents and that they did not treat americans the way they deserve tobd treated. we may be hearing more about this shooter and why he wanted to do this in the first place, carol. >> stephanie elam, reporting from l.a.x. this morning. voicemail message full of threats and racial slurs now part of an investigation involving two miami dolphin football players. one of them has been suspended. but will he ever wear the dolphins uniform again? we'll be back. farmers presents: fifteen seconds of smart.

swirling around the miami dolphins begs the question how did a guy with such a reputation for bullying get hired by the team? and how long would richie incognito have continued if jonathan martin didn't walkway, saying he couldn't take it anymore? from nfl.com, quote, hey, what's up you half blank piece of blank? i'm gonna slap your real mother across the face. laughter. you're still a rookie.

i'll kill you. it be an arduous investigation because incognito has a reputation dating back to his college days. incredibly, dolphins had him star in a pr video about being a good fan. >> hi. i'm richie incognito. on the field, players have called me overly aggressive. we greatly appreciate you guys being loud and proud of the dolphins but please be respectful and civilized and be sure to follow the fan code of conduct. >> code of conduct? really, from him? espn senior writer l.c. granderson, good morning. >> good morning, carol. how are you? >> i don't even know what to say. the nfl knew this guy had problems. teams kept hiring. he kept playing. he kept getting these big paychecks. you have to stop and ask yourself why. >> well, we all know the reason

why. it's because the rules for professional athletes and the rules for everyone else is not necessarily -- they're not necessarily the same. in fact, they're not the same. i can remember being in college and one of the top college football players at the time was a guy by the name of lawrence phillips and lawrence phillips was suspended for the team briefly because he attacked his girlfriend on campus, ex-girlfriend on campus, physically assaulted her. lawrence still ended p playing in the bowl game that year and was drafted six overall in the following year's draft. once i saw that, i realized that whatever rules i was living by was not the rule that is professional athletes live by. >> maybe the nfl should be investigating itself. >> well, let's put it this way. if we really got rid of every single player that's done something wrong, we would not have 32 fielded teams. that's not to say that every player who plays football does something wrong. but it is to say that every team has a few bad apples and richie

incognito is one of those bad apples. >> what's the answer? you know, some players have come forward and said, look, this thing just happens. it's what you go through as a rookie. rookies accept it. if you really wanted to do some housecleaning, you wouldn't be able to field, you know, enough players for the teams. >> one thing to remember is that, you know, jonathan martin is not a rookie. this has been going on for him for a season and a half. at least as far as the reports are concerned. we don't know, really, all the details surrounding what happened, you know, what triggered all this investigation, all these media reports is that jonathan got up and walked away from a lunch room table and slammed his plate and walked away after a bunch of players got up and left him alone. that's more than just richie incognito. we don't know what to degree he may have been feeling isolated or to what degree he may be feeling pressure from more than

just one particular player. again, he is not a rookie. this has been going on for at least a season and a half now. >> i'm going to throw this out at you. this was a tweet from chris carter, hall of famer. he tweeted this morning. it is feasible that martin was being bullied by black players for not being black enough. i know incognito is white. other players allegedly participated, too. and those players, we assume, were african-american. and chris carter is saying, hey, he's being bullied because he wasn't black enough. it's feasible, anyway. >> well, it certainly is feasible. chris happens to be a friend of mine. so, you know, we've talked about things like this, the locker room environment, for a number of years. as i said before, we don't know exactly why jonathan felt isolated or felt that his only recowers was to get up and walkway. we're still digging for that. i don't think it would be wise for us to discount anything or to automatically assume that richie incognito was the only

person involved in what he perceived as bullying. all we can do is press the miami dolphins for questions and more answers and we need to be evaluating the nfl's conduct in terms of how much is being allowed in terms of regular rookie hazing. dennis bryant was under trouble a couple of seasons ago because he refused to carry the pads of veterans during his rookie season. it has been a long-time part of the hazing initiation for rookies and dez bryant cause aid big fuss because he didn't do that. could they make him do it? well, no. but, you know, some things are just kind of accepted as part of the culture and some things are probably going a little bit beyond where they need to go and the nfl needs to decide where that line is. >> i'm kind of liking dez bryant at the moment. a new york city mayoral race could break a 24-year drought

good morning. i'm carol costello. thank you so much for joining me. president obama is now busy tweaking his message, understandable, since many americans are angry that the president insisted more than once they could keep their insurance plans despite obama care. now we know that's not true. still the president cannot deny what he has been saying for nearly four years. >> if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor under the reform proposals that we put forward. if you like your private health insurance plan, you can keep it. if you like the plan you have, you can keep it. if you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too. we will keep this promise to the american people. if you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. period. if you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan, period. if you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor.

if you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan. if you have health insurance, you like your doctor, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor. you can keep your plan. if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. >> as i said, there's some spinning going on as the white house tweaks that message. senior white house correspondent brianna keilar tells us what it is. good morning, brianna. >> reporter: good morning to you, carol. you got a pretty good sense there of what the very simple promise was that president obama made as he was touting health care reform. take a listen to what he said last night at an ofa event, really his former campaign apparatus, which is now a nou nonprofit advocacy group. here is how he changed things up. >> if you have or had one of these plans before the affordable care act came into law and you really like that plan, what we said was you could

keep it, if it hasn't changed since the law has passed. >> if it hasn't changed since the law passed. that's what he added. today, carol, republicans are seizing on this, saying that president obama didn't have that caveat on there before. and it's true, he didn't have that caveat on his statement before. we've seen some messaging changes at the white house and with president obama. initially it was those little sound bites that you played. if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. then we heard last week president obama saying if you liked your substandard plan that was in place before, you know, obama care passed and you want to keep it, you can keep it. but what's obviously changed is that even though some of those plans were grandfathered in, carol, when the law passed in 2010, if an insurance company made a change to one of those plans, what's considered a significant change -- so that under the law is opened to

obviously some interpretation. if they made a significant change the plan does have to go by the wayside and insurance companies have to provide another one. you're seeing a lot of people who have gotten these cancellations -- the white house will say a lot of people, yes, but it's really just a small sliver of people who are purchasing their insurance and these are people that haven't been served well by the individual insurance market before. at the same time, they are getting cancellations. the huge problem for the white house for president obama is that they can't necessarily take their cancellation and say, okay, what are my other options? because the federal marketplace for purchasing insurance, obama care, is such a mess that they can't as easily just turn to see what maybe their other option may be, carol. >> it's just all so confusing for americans. that's really the saddest part. brianna keilar reporting live from the white house this morning. >> from a political powerhouse

to new jersey to a colorado proposal that would allow 11 counties to leave the state. election day 2013 is shaping up to be an intriguing one. >> governor chris christie is expected to be re-elected governor by a wide margin, a big win for republicans in a democratic state. the big question is, though, how long will christie stay governor? >> i can do this job and also deal with my future and that's exactly what i will do. >> will today really be the start of a christie campaign for the white house? >> we need you all to finish this out. >> the polls are a lot tighter in the virginia governor's race. >> are you ready to go? >> democrat terry mcauliffe hold ace six-point lead over republican ken cuccinelli. >> tomorrow in virginia is a referendum for obama care. >> the former head of the democratic national committee who has called in the big guns recently on the campaign trail. >> i'm here because this race

matters well beyond the state of verge yain. >> had i conducted myself in the manner in which you conducted yours, my job would have been gone. >> the race for new york mayor was, shall we say, one of the most interesting races of the year. but now the polls indicate it may be a landslide for democrat bill deblasio. if that happens, he will be the first democratic mayor in the big apple since david dinkens in 1989. his closest challenger? republican joe lota. in colorado, one question on the ballot. do you want to stay part of colorado? >> we're tired of being ignored. we're tired of being politically disenfranchised. >> voters in 11 counties being asked if they want to sechlt cede from the state. it's nonbinding and even if it happens, it's doubtful it would happen but it would send a message to denver's democratic establishment. a year after deciding to legalize recreational use of marijuana, colorado voters will

decide on a 15% excise tax on pot sales and 10% tax on law enforcement. joining me to talk about this is cnn political analyst david gergen. good morning, david. >> hello, carol. >> thank you so much for joining me. i want to take a closer look at the new york city mayor's race. it's fascinating this year. recent polls show democrat bill deblasio is poised for a blowout. his political skills are not the only reason for his success but his modern fael, a family on full display in this ad, featuring deblasio's biracial teenage son. >> he is the only democrat with the guts to really break in the bloomberg years, the only one who will raise taxes on the rich to fund early childhood and after-school programs. he has the boldest plan to build affordable housing and is the only one who will end a stop and

frisk area that unfairly targets people of color. he will be a mayor for every new yorker, no matter where they live or what they look like, and i would say that even if he weren't my dad. >> david, as you well know, that ad has received more than 280,000 views on youtube. we were trying to think of another political family that looks like deblasio's and we couldn't come up with one. >> i don't think you'll find one easily. bill deblasio, now his son, african-american with an afro. how different could you be? that did help to propel him to the front of this race. new york city is, as you know, carol, an extraordinarily diverse city. there's something like 140 languages spoken in queens alone. so people are embracing deblasio partly because of this ethnic appeal. there's something else going on here that's also going on in boston where there's a very

close race. i'm in cambridge here, near boston, today. there's an urban populism emerging in both these cities, deblsio and in boston, candidate elective come in with strong, strong support from the unions and want to go up against the status quo and reject a lot of what the bloomberg and giuliani administrations built in new york city. that is somewhat new to our politics. it's an important driving force and could change the face of a lot of our cities, urban populism. >> over in colorado there's a ballot initiative that would allow 11 conservative counties to secede from the state because of anger over liberal measures like gun control and gay rights. how does that fit into all of this? >> well, this is a divide -- urban/rural divide in this country is as old as the republic itself, even predates the conservative/liberal arguments we're having today. and in colorado what you have is

these 11 counties that feel very much disenfranchised by an urban-based population that has the control of the state legislation on things like guns and renewable energy and they're rising up. at the end of the day, i don't think it's going to happen. if they want to secede, it has to go through the legislature and u.s. congress. that ain't gonna happen. it's another sign of how splintered we are become as a people. >> it brings up the whole new jersey race in chris christie, kind of distancing himself from tea partiers that say i'm a republican, and i'm a republican that can reach across the aisle and make it work. if he does run for president, conservatives may be left out of things. >> there are two big races today that speak to us about the 2016 presidential race.

in new jersey is certainly the first one. big win by chris christie will make this the first day of his presidential campaign for 2016. and he's clearly running as someone who wants to return to the center right, rejecting a lot of the kind of social issue conservatiatis conservatism. he will be a rallying point for the more moderate forces, such as they are, in the republican party. there are many pros who think that he would be an underdog to get the nomination but a big thumping victory in a place like new jersey will help him. in virginia, too, there are implications for 2016. that is if terry mcauliffe wins this race -- he has been ahead for a long time now -- as a democrat. it really has shown the power of the clintons. hillary and bill clinton came in there, raised a lot of money for him, put a lot of spark into the campaign. and this is a critical state. if hillary clinton were to run for president, it would be a big

swing state tochlt have terry in there as governor while she makes a run would be a big -- i think it's an important step for her. it's part of her quiet campaign that seems to be under way. >> i think it's pretty loud myself. >> well, she hasn't declared. so she's having it both ways. i'm thinking about running but i'm not really running. i'm here for my friend. but, in fact, she's laying the groundwork. that's politics. >> thanks, david. appreciate it as always. >> okay, carol. >> take care. >> you, too. michelle knight talks to dr. phil about the hell she lived through at the hands of ariel castro. >> what did he tie you up with? >> one of those orange extension cords. i was tied up like a fish. >> coming up, you'll hear more of her sit-down interview.

more than a decade of rape and torture, cleveland kidnapping victim michelle knight speaking out in a rare sit-down interview with dr. phil. she sheds new light on brutal conditions inside the house of ariel castro and talks about the terrifying moment when she realized she had become his prisoner. here is more from martin savidge. >> reporter: she was lured into cleveland's so-called house of horrors by ariel castro, talking to dr. phil about the moment she realized she was his prisoner. >> did you fight him at the time? >> at the time, no, because i was shocked. >> panicked, just froze?

>> yeah. only thing i can do is cry, begging him let me go back to my son. >> what did you say to him? >> i said please don't do this to me. and he said he can't take me back. and then he threw money at me. >> what was the significance of him throwing money at you? >> he was obsessed with prostitutes and also he thought i with his a 13-year-old prostitute. when he found out my real age, he got mad. >> it is the first time knight has spoken in detail about the decade of rape, deprivation and torture she suffered inside castro's home. it was known from police reports but to hear knight recount it herself is almost unbearable. >> what did he tie you up with? >> one of those orange extension cords. i was tied up like a fish, an ornament on the wall.

it's the only way i can describe it. i was hanging like this. my feet. and i was tied by my neck and my arms with the extension cord running like that. >> oh, my god. so he tied your hands and feet and also around your neck and hung you? >> reporter: noticeably absent from the interview were her co-captives, amanda berry and gina dejesus. they decided to talk about it in a book slated to come out next year. knight was the only one to speak at castro's sentencing in august. dr. phil talked to anderson cooper on "360." >> she was referred to as the unbreakable one. she fought him every step of the way. she would fight back. she would challenge him. she would argue with him and she would pay the price for it. >> martin sav inidge joins us n.

i'm going to watch the interview. it will be difficult to hear but part of me wants to hear her story. i admire her for wanting to share her story. >> i'm with you. >> i do wonder how dr. phil managed to get the interview and how that all came about. >> right. well, we've all been trying, of course, to talk to these the zis was made by the attorney and of course by this interview. because of what they see on television. and he said that their television organization was the first to commit a donation. >> i guess the part of it that bothers me most is the promotions running around the interview and how dr. phil wants to tell viewers how michelle knight has affected him. and if my mind it should be all about her. >> right. i will say this.

and i get what you're saying, where you're coming from. when you are in the presence of michelle knight, which i have been a couple of times, she as a remarkable impact because she is so petite. she has been through such hell and yet she can communicate with you intelligently, she speaks -- she's interested in you. it's not a one-way conversation. you look at this woman and say, my goodness, how can she even breathe considering what she went through. it's something about her. and i think that's what she wants to do with the rest of the her life, serve as an inspiration. >> she wants to help other victims of crime, right? >> yes. and i think she could be extremely effective. >> thanks so much. we'll be right back. we went out and asked people a simple question:

how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer,

one thing that hasn't changed much is the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪

in honor of veteran's day next week, cnn's -- he was barely able to walk or speak after coming home from the war. but now, now he's reaching new heights. >> this is legendary historic climbing area. the reason we're all here is because a part of us likes risk. when you go climbing, it takes you out of what would be your conventional element and forces you to come to terms with fear. >> kind of like being in the military, you always got to be ready. >> nick first came into our programming about a year ago.

>> you mind if i have this piece right here? this is what paradox does, takes us v.e.t.s and then they pair us with regular civilian disabled individuals that are enduring for years what i've been used for the first two or three years since i've been back from afghanistan. climbing is just my way of dealing with transition. dealing with life and death, risk, kind of the closest thing i have to being in the military now. i was fortunate enough to earn a bronze star for saving the life of a friend, but unfortunately i was injured as well. i suffered a traumatic brain injury. i couldn't spell my own name, couldn't walk without a cane and i could barely speak. you come home and everybody thanks you for your service, but they really don't understand what you went through. and it's hard to convey that.

this gets the heart pumping. it's good practice for the vertical walls that come in life. when you're on a rock wall and you come up to a problem and you just don't know if you can get through it, you're sweating and your heart is beating and you just want to give up, but then when you keep trying and you end up getting to the top, it's the best feeling in the world. this is really getting hard at the top. feels good. feels good. it lets you know that you can feel again, you're not numb. that there's something inside you that's still alive. >> make sure to tune in to cnn next monday for veterans day for our veterans in focus, service struggles and success. next hour of cnn "newsroom" after a break. mine was earned orbiting the moon in 1971.

all new in morning. president obama tweaking his message. remember his life, if you like your health plan, you can keep it? that's being changed a bit. and this is election day. from governs to mayors, high profile politics. and even today how it could give us our first glimpse of the new president alex and our 51st state. also -- >> there were boom, boom, and another boom, and right after that, glass, glass everywhere. >> shoppers run for cover as a 20-year-old gunman opens fire. but this time no one is hurt. "newsroom" continues now. good morning. thank you so much for being with me. i'm carol costello. going on right now on capitol hill a senate hearing on the rollout on obama care.

there you see tom harkin of iowa. he be asking questions of marilyn tavenner. she's the administrator for medicaid and medicare and that branch or organization once in charge of the obama care rollout. but no longer. and we'll continue to monitor her testimony. and if she says anything new and exciting, we'll pass it along to you. let's talk about the president now and his tweaking of his message. a new spin. it's now been five weeks to the date since the rollout of obama care. and it's sputtering website hasn't been the only problem. remember the reassurances that if you liked your plan, you wouldn't have to switch? for nearly four years, the president said this. >> if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. >> well, the president has a new spin. the white house is now tweaking

that message. our senior courthouse correspondent brianna keilar is in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. basically in the face that that promise could not be kept ultimately and that it wasn't as simple from that. we heard from president obama last night, president obama smoke at the osa event and here was the change that he made. >> if you have or had one of these plans before the affordable care act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you could keep it if it hasn't changed since the laws passed. >> if it hasn't changed since the law has passed. that is something he added last night that was not orn the

initial promise that he made as he was time-outing obama care. and as you can imagine, republicans have really seized on this. it's more complicated than the initial promise president obama made. the law said when obama care was pass the in 2010, it seid that if a plan was in existence, it could be grandfathered in. however if there was a significant change to it, which is something that is open to interpretation, then it would have to cease to exist. essentially whatever the insurance company as it put in place a new plan, it would have to measure up to the current obama care standards. so you have white house officials saying, yes, but there were a lot of people who had these old plans and didn't relgz that they weren't good plans, maybe they didn't cover hospitalization or may be they exempted people for the one condition they wanted insurance for. but it's a big problem because you have people getting

cancellations of their plans. and that's a bad situation for the white house has they try to serve these people who are unhappy certainly with what this obama care is supposed to do for them. also, you know, the huge problem it really comes down to still is that the marketplace, this healthcare.gov isn't working. so when people get a cancelation, they can't then turn and see what an alternative might be. and white house officials will admit that that's difficult for them to deal with. >> well, there's another senate committee on the obama care rollout. what more could we possibly learn from that, lisa? >> reporter: this is actually an interesting hearing for a couple of reasons. one, democrats are leading it. but the democrat in charge is a big health care supporter who is not happy. he's already said that americans deserve better. but this is the first time we

have heard from any obama obama administrator official here in congress since we learned that the enrollment numbers are just a trickle. and since we've gotten information from the house oversight committee, through hhs, the own roemt numbers maybe in the hundreds. they said they're not releasing any numbers publicly because the system isn't working and the numbers are not reliable. but this is a first hearing that well have with an official after we have a clue of where the numbers may be. and the republican on this committee, he's called for the resignation of our house secretary. expect for him to be very sharp with his questions this morning. >> will we learn of any solutions at the end of this hearing? >> reporter: i would expect ms. tavenner to bring up many of the same solutions that they've been talking about. they've brought in help, trying to increase capacity.

perhaps we'll learn more about the problems with verizon. unclear. i know they'll get a lot of questions about that for sure. >> thanks so much. it is election day across the nation as americans cast votes in state elections that could impact the country's political future, among them, the governor's race in virginia. well democrat terry mcauliffe appears headed for victory against ken cuccinelli. cnn political director joins me now to talk about that and more. >> good morning. >> so mcauliffe called on his old friends, bill and hillary clinton to help. and none of them mentioned obama care. why is that? >> reporter: it's interesting to note that we saw joe biden as well campaigning on behalf of

mcauliffe. obama obama's key initiative is very conversational. the you condition is very much split on it and down the middle at this point, give it a point here or there either way. and here in virginia, you're split. you have different geographic parts of state. some people are for it, some people are against it. but i have to tell you in many ways when we look at the outcome of this election tomorrow and if we are to believe the polls and mcauliffe is expected to win, we're going to have to look at obama care as one of the reasons why he might have won. and the reason being the 16 days of the federal government shutdown was due in part because the republicans in the building right behind me tied that to obama care. now ken cuccinelli who is the republican attorney general who is running is very much a strident opponent of obama care. but at the same time, many of

his want to bee constituents depend upon the federal government. >> aren't you discounting women voters in virginia? aren't they really deciding this race and they don't care for ken cuccinelli because of his social views? >> that's correct. that's going to be one of the major reasons as well, how did he do with women voters. we know terry mcauliffe is up about 12 points with women voters. that is a big margin. but there are many factors. we look at why ken cuccinelli, if he does lose. if he does lose one of the reasons is going to be the government shutdown. and that's because it was tied to obama care. and now ken cuccinelli, had he come out and said that he opposed the government shutdown and opposed obama care, he would have been bet are off. but again, one of the many

factors in this race in virginia. >> from virginia to colorado. we're covering all the election angles with you today. let's start in menda, new jersey. >> reporter: there's a lot more activity outside this polling station at the fire station where chris christie will vote any minute now. we're starting to see his aides gather. and you might see cnn's jake tapper, he's here for an ex-exclusive interview. we're looking at chris christie very likely launching a national campaign for president in the next few years. that's why he's looking for a blowout win tonight. he wants to say it's a model for the national republican party which has been having problems like they are in virginia where peter hamby is covering that race. peter? >> reporter: i'm in mclean,

virginia, where he's expected to win by mid to high digited as cuccinelli. this is expected to be a low turnout election as it often is in nonpresidential years. cuccinelli is trying to rally the base here. he's tapped rand paul, marco rubio, a number of republicans to campaign for him. he says this race is a referendum on obama care. but democrats outside groups have poured tons of money in this race. mcauliffe has a very high lead among women voters and that's crucial in this suburban state. for more on the new york mayor's race, let's go to deb feyerick. >> reporter: thanks. underdog joe lhota back nearly

40 points from front runner bill de blasio. now de blasio is a former staffer for both bill and hillary clinton. he's planning on closing the gap between the rich and poor. political insiders say the game changer has been his bye racial family active on the campaign trail. they resonated with voters in both the black and latino communities. joe lhota served as budget director for mayor giuliani. de blasio by the way will be the first democratic mayor in more than two deck as if he wins in what some are predicting will be a landslide. >> reporter: good morning. i'm ana cabrera. here in colorado where we're

watching a variety of issues including taxes on the marijuana sales and education funding bill. there's also a issue about state secession. that's one that captured interest all around the country. 11 counties in northern colorado, the rural part of our state are threatening to secede and are going to vote today to breakaway from the state of colorado to form a new state. now this all spurred after the last legislative session at the state capitol. and the supporters of this initiative to breakaway from the state say they're very angry over the new gun control legislation. also some new standards with renewable energy and increasing their electricity costs. they say these are the issues not only threatening their rural lifestyle but they're rural livelihood. and they want to send a message

to both the state congress as well as the federal congress that this is not okay. and so while the secession movement isn't likely to become a reality, it certainly is an example of the growing political and culture divide that we're seeing not only here but all across the country. >> thanks to all of you. still to come in a the "newsroom," a shooting in new jersey. >> reporter: we're going to tell you about a nightmare unfolding here in the middle of new jersey on a seepingly quiet monday night. what a troubled 20-year-old did that ended up in taking his own life. hey pam, you should take advil. why? you can take four advil for all day relief. so i should give up my two aleve for more pills with advil? you're joking right? for my back pain, i want my aleve. i'm here to say a few words about the power of baking stuff with nestle toll house morsels. you can heal a broken heart with a bundt cake.

while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. if i could describe being a nonsmoker, i would say "awesome." [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. nthat's why they deserve... aer anbrake dance.or get 50% off new brake pads and shoes. yet another young man with a

gun opens fire in a crowded place. his rampage came to a grim end at a new jersey mall. began with an explosion of gunfire late last night as the mall was closing. >> there were boom, and another boom and a last boom right after that. right after the second one. and then glass, glass everywhere. >> glass but no casualties despite a thick crowd of shoppers and mall employees. police now say ploos a bizarre possibility that the shooter may not have wanted to hurt anyone, instead he may have wanted to kill himself. with the discovery of his body, it appears he accomplished that although by his own hand. poppy harlow joins us live from paramus, new jersey. >> reporter: good morning. it's incredibly troubling and hard to believe that more people were not killed in this insurance department. the shooter is the only one who died. he's only 20 years old. his named is richard schoop.

and he entered this mall last night firing six rounds with what police say is a rifle made to like like an ak-47. chaos overnight in new jersey. >> we heard four gunshots. even was scared and panicked. we went in the back of the store and locked ourselves in with 13 people in total, including me. >> reporter: hundreds of police, s.w.a.t., and emergency teams swarm the mall in search of a gunman who authorities say fired six rounds just before closing time. the gunman, 20-year-old richard schoop was discovered dead just after 3:00 a.m. his body found lying in a remote area of law. authorities say he had a self-inflicted gunshot room. >> he's 20 years old and his body was discovered at 3:20 a.m. this morning, just about an hour ago with a self-inflicted

gunshot wound to the head area. he himself went to the area where he did this. it was a very difficult area of the mall behind some construction. >> reporter: no one ems was nirngd in the shooting. state police say the gunman apparently fired shots at security cameras. >> he was wearing a red and black motorcycle helmet. he kind of had the gun in his hand aimlessly and he was walking past the apple store. he didn't seem angered. he was kind of just walking. >> reporter: authorities say schoop was carrying a rifle modified to look like an ac-47. >> it is not an ak-47. it's where you take the handgun and modify it to make it look like something it is not. but it is a lawful gun owned by the brother.

>> reporter: authorities say he had no history are mental illness but say he abused drugs. >> we believe that the main motive for what he did was suicide, whether self-inflicted or suicide by cop, which no one ever likes to see. based on what we know, it did not appear that he entered the mall to shoot anyone. and i say that only because it appears that he had ample opportunity to do that and chose not to. >> reporter: oonsd that's key here. the gunman entered, shot six rounds, but didn't shoot at anyone. even though in close proximity. he shot towards the ceiling and then eventually killed himself. what we also know is that police say it was actually the gunman's brother who heard about this on the radio last night about an hour after this started, called authorities and said, i think my brother may be involved in all of this. and it turns out that the gun was stolen from his brother.

many, many more questions. but just so troubling to see something like this happening. again, how terrifying for all the people that poured out of this mall last night after hours and hours of not knowing where the gunman might be. >> president obama is busy spinning and will likely spinning today. understandable since many americans are upset that he promised they could keep their insurance plans despite obama care. not true. last night the president tweaked his message. >> if you have or had one of these plans before the affordable care act came into law and you really like that plan, what we said was, you could keep it if it hasn't changed since the laws passed. >> wolf blitzer is here now to kind of parse things out for us.

that statement that the president just said is more accurate but it's a little confusing to understand when you first hear it. you've got to listen to it like 12 times to know exactly what he's talking about. >> that final clause which it, if it hasn't changed since the law was passed, he didn't say that so many times when he was repeatedly saying that when he was trying to get the measure passed through congress. he said if you liked your health care plan, you could keep your health care plan period. there wasn't this conditionable clause if it changed since the law was passed. and there was not a widespread notion that there was a grandfather clause in there that if the insurance companies made tweaks or changes, then that insurance policy was going to go away. he was clear and very blunt. much more resies way of saying it during the campaign for the package of the legislation should have been if you like your plan, you might be able to

keep your plan. on the other hand, you might lose your hand but you might get a better plan at even a cheaper rate if this legislation goes through. that might not necessarily be as catchy as if you like your plan, you can keep your plan period. now a lot of these people, he says it's 5 prls of the american public, that's 15 million people or so. some of them will have their original health insurance. but a lot of them will be forced to get new health insurance over the next several weeks if they want to be insured. and some will get a better plan. some of them will not only get a better plan, but pay smaller premiums every month because the government will subsidize some of the premiums for low income earners. but there will be plenty of folks out there who will believe they're not getting a better plan and they will be forced to pay more when all is said and done. it's not necessarily a clean sweep, if you will.

>> let me ask you this. the president's approval rating is, what, 42%. it's really low. i haven't heard his whole speech from last night. but perhaps the voters would be more forgiving if the president said, i'm sorry i misled you but i'm going to tell you the truth right now, here's what it is. wouldn't that have been more helpful? >> voters are very foregiving in the united states and if someone makes a mistake and they say, you know what, here is what i should have said and i ask you to forgive me if you will, people are ready to forgive. the president doesn't say that. he's now tweaked his message. last week on october 30th, he said, if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period. last week he said for the vast majority of the people that have health insurance, you can keep it. for the fewer than 5% of the americans who buy insurance on

their own, you will be getting a better deal. he promises them they will be getting a better deal. but even there, a lot of these folks don't believe they're getting a better deal. they think they're getting a worse deal dan -- >> and i don't think he made a mistake, they think he misled the american public. and it certainly sounds that way when you hear what he said in the past. >> right. he was very clear. if it you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period. and he also said, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, period. a lot of people like their doctors. but when they're forced to get new plans, those doctors might not be in the new plan and they won't be able to keep the doctors. and if you go to a doctor and you like him a lot and all of the sudden you're forced to get a new plan, which might be a better plan, might have more benefits, lower deductible, smaller copays for whatever, if you're doctor is not in that

system, you're going to be upset about that. because the president told you, if if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor period. now having said that, even if obama care would not have been the law of the land -- and it is the laugh the land, ratified by the united states supreme court -- over the years health insurance companies were making changes all the time, employers were making changes for their employees over the time forcing people to change their plans, fosing people to lose their doctors. that was part of the system for as long as we've been working, we all know that. so it's not exactly new. but the president was very forceful and bold and direct in making these assertions and now it's coming back to haunt him. >> i'm sure you'll be talking a lot more about in this afternoon. still to come in the "newsroom," a voicemail message reportedly filled it threats -- actually it was filled with threats and racial slurs.

now involving two miami follow fin players. we'll talk more about that when we come back. itions aren't nearly as nice as where we came from. with the wind chill, it's 10 below. flight attendants, prepare for landing.

good morning. i'm carol costello. thanks for joining me. miami dolphins lineman, richie incognito now suspended over bullying allegations. now a report that he left a threatening voicemail message for teammate jonathan martin. it was chalked full of profanity

and racial slurs. it raises the question are his playing days over. martin says it had gone on for nearly a year and he couldn't take it anymore and he left the team. we're in miami with more. >> reporter: the last time the miami dolphins played here was on halloween night. and i want you to take a look at this twitter page that a fan put up. and on that twitter post it shows the inside page from the game night program where several of the dolphins players were asked questions about halloween. like what's your favorite candy. and under richie incognito's name and picture appears a picture of jonathan martin when incognito was asked the question who is the easiest person to scare. now, this all comes as the dolphins, particularly incognito and martin are in the midst of a heated issue over bullying that has the dolphins' organization

reeling. this is miami dolphin rischy incognito from a team promo. >> on the field, players have called me overly aggressive. >> reporter: now it it be that he was not only overaggressive on the field but off it as well. the nfl is launching an investigation into the dolphin's workplace environment and whether he bullied another player, jonathan martin, so basdly that he left the team. according to espn and nfl.com, this is a text of a voicemail sent from incognito to martin. quote, hey, what's up. you half blank piece of blank. i'll blank in your blank mouth. i'm going to slap your real mother across the face. blank you. you're still a rookie. i'll kill you. the text has come out a week after an incident in the

dolphin's launch room. martin left and hasn't been back. at a press conference the head coach philbin spoke several times over several ties following the incident. >> in all of my discussions with jonathan and members of his family at no time were there any accusations or allegations of misconduct by any members of this team or this organization. >> reporter: but sunday, a martin representative contacted philbin and the dolphins with concern over what philbin called player conduct. that led to incognito's suspension. calls to incognito, martin and their representatives haven't been returned. this shows, hazing seems part of the right of package for nfl rookies. in this hard knocks clip, he talked about a facebook post that he didn't post after he broke into an ipad after

figuring out the password. >> i was going to put something up there rude you about i saw a picture of your girlfriend and i felt bad. >> reporter: they insist there's a is healthy dosen fun. not hazing. >> and i felt like i game from a good lead. >> i got a lot of respect for rischy. i love playing with him and i wish he was here right now. >> reporter: neither incognito or martin are with the team. and it's unclear when or if either will be back. now a 2012 sporting news survey found that incognito was, quote, the second dirtiest player in the league. and there are tweets out there supposedly from incognito where he is demanding that his name be cleared. >> i think he since deleted one of those tweets. how are fans reacting to all of this? >> reporter: listen, i was

listening to sports talk radio all morning, and it is a broad spectrum. there are many saying, willing incognito deserves his day in court. that we haven't heard from incognito. there are others saying that martin just couldn't stand up to what's normal hazing. you're getting a broad range of fan's opinions out there. but it is literally the talk and the only talk on sports talk radio in south florida. >> i was surprised to hear the sound from incognito's teammates supporting him. i was stunned by that. >> reporter: yeah, i know. and a lot of people have said the same thing. but in fact, almost to the man, the ones we talked to, all said they liked incognito and they like martin. and most all of them besides supporting incognito have said, look, we would welcome both of these guys back to the team if that were the case. >> i think there's a big fat

>> what was the significance of him throwing money at you? >> he was obsessed with prostitutes. and also, he thought i was a 13-year-old prostitute. when he found out my real age, he got mad. >> so he gets you in this room. what did he tie you up with? >> one of those orange extension cords. i was tied up like a fish. an ornament on the wall. it was the only way i can describe it. i was hanging like this. my feet, and i was tied by my neck and my arms with the extension cord going like that. >> oh, my god. so he tied your hands and feet and also around your neck and hung you? >> that's just awful to hear. this is the first time knight has spoken in detail about those traumatic events. joining me now to talk more about it is psychiatrist and

author, dr. gail saltz. this is just gut wrenching to hear. and it will only get worse because dr. phil is going to play the interview over the course of two days. i want to get your initial reaction to michelle knight's choice in doing this. >> it concerns me. because she is obviously going to have a lot of things that she has to work out over a long period of time. and for patients in general, speaking about their trauma is good for them if they want to. if they really of their own free will feel that it's helpful to talk about it, for one. and two, it's really best to do that in a private setting, in a therapeutic setting and they're going to have time, a long time to privately talk about how this has affected them and how they can move on.

you know, in a way, is it go for other people? perhaps. other people who have suffered might be able to look at her resilience and say, wow, if she can move on from that, i can certainly move on from whatever i'm struggling with. but is it best for her? i'm not so sure. >> the kind ed aura around this. he's doing the interview over the course of two days. there are promos surrounding the interview. it has an. ck factor to it somehow. >> reporter: i understand what you're saying. and as a mental health professional, i don't feel comfortable with the degree to which she was candid and now it's everywhere. as i said, they're puttcally, she's not going to see dr. phil and he's not going to continue to treat her and help her to

deal with the outcome of this. now everybody knows the very specific details of her trauma. and i don't know how that will play out for her. but it would be better for her to be in an ongoing, therapeutic relationship where she could deal with things, frankly, privately. which is to some degree what all of them have done initially. they tried to recoup their lives and tried to get over things and asked for privacy. i thought getting out in front of it that way and doing that was very smart and really therapeutic for them. i'm not sure that this now is for her. >> dr. gail saltz, thanks for your insiegs this morning. i appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> we'll be right back. how much protein

in the great state of virginia today, a nasty election fight will finally come to an end. in one corner, terry mcauliffe and in the other, his republican rival, ken cuccinelli. the obama care website became a key issue. joining me now is director of the center for politics. good morning. >> good morning. >> i want to make one thing clear, virginia voters are decidedly unexcited about both candidates. it's about choosing the lesser evil here, right? >> pretty much so. the favor ability for both of them is low. the problem for ken cuccinelli has been that his unfavorables are over 50%.

>> so cuccinelli tried to use the zras truss obama care rollout to increase his chances. did he succeed? >> well, we'll know this evening, carol. but i doubt it. let's put it this way. every single public and private survey that's reliable has mcauliffe ahead. the margins vary. as low as 2%, as high as 12%. it's somewhere in between i assume. but, look, it was obama care for cuccinelli versus the government shutdown for mcauliffe. obama care obviously connected to the democrats and to the president would hurt mcauliffe. but maybe they neutralized one another. >> women voters are a big factor in this election too, right? >> oh absolutely. look, men are pretty much evenly

divided between the candidates, although that's bad news for cuccinelli. he should have a lead with men. but the gender gap is as large as i've ever seen it. it's been as high as 24 percentage points women in favor of mcauliffe over cuccinelli. it's remarkable. but mcauliffe has stressed issues like abortion that tend to have an impact, contraception, that's another one, that have an impact with women. >> as republicans head towards the election of 2016, what will they take away from this election? >> carol, i've learned that people find in any election returns exactly what they want to find. they will reinforce their own prejudices, whatever they are. my own personal view is if cuccinelli does lose, he was the

original favorite, you have to go back to the 1880s to find a time when virginia elected a party to the governor's mansion for only four years. pretty much automatically a party has gotten at least a second term. this will be the first time since the 1880 that that hasn't happened. it dells you that the republicans have nominated a candidate who is out of the virginia mainstream. you have to nominate candidates in this newly competitive purple virginia that can win the middle. for the democrats, obviously, it's going to be speculation about 2016. mcauliffe is as close to bill and hillary clinton to anybody on earth. >> larry, thank you so much. as always. we'll be right back.
