issue and when will they try to launch again? plus, over 40 million people under heat alerts today amid dangerous temperatures. we're going to tell you which cities could potentially break records and what it means for the rest of your labor day weekend. and troubling news in the classroom. testing scores plummeting across the country after the pandemic suffering the worst drop in decades. it is almost the unofficial end of summer. it is time to mourn. sunday, september 4th. thank you for waking up with us. hi, boris, good morning. >> good morning, amara. we're thrilled to be part of your long weekend and we start with this bizarre story. we cover some weird stuff, and this is just especially weird.

an airport contractor in mississippi is in custody this morning, facing charges for stealing a plane, and threatening to crash it into a walmart. the bizarre incident played out as the suspect was circling the skies over tupelo, mississippi, and people on the ground were stuck watching in disbelief. >> he right on top of our house. he literally flew over everything. all the vehicles and the house. >> and if you look at the bottom of your screen, we're going to show you flight tracking animation that shows the erratic path that plane took. authorities say the suspect had some flight training, but they don't believe he is a licensed pilot. a lot of turning around there. the situation could have ended

tragically, but somehow the suspect managed to land the plane in a field and no one got hurt. >> yeah, that flight path was dizzying. cnn aviation correspondent pete muntean has more on how this whole thing played out. >> reporter: this is quite possibly the best possible outcome of this incredible story in tupelo, mississippi, where an employee of a local airport was able to get out on to the ramp, get into a twin engine beechcraft king air, a commuter plane that seats about six people, take off, and then he said he was going to crash into a local walmart. police in tupelo had finished a briefing in which they laid out the scenario. around 5:00 a.m., they say cory wayne patterson called 911, laid out that he was going to crash the plane into a local walmart, police were able to put negotiators on the phone with him, and then they brought in another pilot who attempted to

talk patterson back to the tupelo regional airport and try and have him make a landing. what is so interesting is that police say patterson came within 100 feet of a successful landing, but went back around again, flew up to the northwest, they thought he was going to run out of fuel, they lost contact with him via phone, then they regained contact with him via phone, when he said that he was in a farmer's field and the plane had crash landed. police showed up in gravestown, mississippi, they say that they were able to detain him without much incident and the plane is relatively in tact. what is so interesting here is that patterson was an employee of tupelo aviation, the local fix-based operator, where he was fueling planes for a living. so police say he did have access to airplanes as part of his job. it is a harrowing story that he'll now tell in a courtroom. patterson is charged with grand larceny and making terroristic threats.

pete muntean, cnn, washington. >> thanks to pete muntean for that report. let's get some perspective now from cnn national security analyst juliette kayyem. good morning. great to be on with you as always. walk us through the charges that this suspect is facing, federal charges too, right? >> yeah, federal investigation right now grand larceny, obviously. this was what we call an insider threat. he had access to what could potentially be a weapon of mass destruction. he took it. and then also the terrorist threat charges are really related to threatening a civilian population right now, where there is no reason to believe this was larger than his own, whatever was motivating him. at least not right now. there will continue to be a federal investigation to see if there was any federal charges that are warranted based on his motivation. but, look, he may have issues, there might be mental health

issues, was this an attempted suicide by plane? we just don't know. but one of the reasons why you come on strong with these charges is that this is just, you know, exceptionally -- this is not acceptable behavior in any sort of way and the impact it had on the community given the large potential evacuation zone and target zone, you know, made for a very distressing warning. i agree with pete that this ended up, you know, in the range of the world that i live in, of bad things happening, this was really ended up being the best scenario for all. >> yeah, probably the best case scenario that could have resulted. as this was happening, many of us were wondering what the protocol is when something like this happens. what kind of options are on the table? >> right. so, this is -- i study disasters and emergency management, so, you know, nothing is new as we say. unfortunately this may be a weird event, but this planning

has been thought through. look, he had access, and that's sort of your biggest challenge, so in terms of lessons learned, the smaller airports which do tend to be secure, will need to assess who has access to airplanes. because once you have access to the airplane, there is not much that you can do. so i know a lot of people were, like, shoot him down or why aren't there military planes? part of it is you're learning from as you're going along. so what is happening while they're assessing what the threat is, they had contact with him, they know that he has made contact, which suggests that it is not a surprise terror attack, but an individual, he doesn't do what he says he's going to do for several hours, which suggests that he, you know, may be back tracking from his original motivation. he's running out of fuel, so the fireball that you might be worried about, gets less over time, so they're assessing it in real time and trying to find a way to bring it to the best resolution that they could think

of, which is, of course, he survives the plane being landed or coming down safely. the next scenario would be he doesn't survive, but the plane at least does not harm a population in the area. so that assessment is made in real time. that's what people train for. i like good news because you can learn a lot in terms of disaster management and emergency management and the communications seem to have been pretty incredible throughout the morning. >> yeah, again, best case scenario considering all that could have gone wrong. wow. juliette kayyem, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> a weird one, right? >> yeah. yeah. they often are, but, you know, not a good thing, but this is what people train for, these are in some ways these flukes or these low probability events and i think a lot of good work went into making this as good as possible, given the bad situation.

>> we're glad. juliette kayyem, thanks again. >> thank you. some new developments to share with you overnight as we're following several shootings across the country. , including in norfolk, virginia, where authorities are investigating a shooting that happened around midnight that left seven people injured. >> norfolk police say two of the victims have life threatening injuries. official with norfolk state university say some of the victims are students. police have not released information on a suspect or a possible motive for the shooting. in charleston, south carolina, authorities say at least six people were injured. police responding to reports of gunshots in the downtown area, a little before 1:00 in the morning. when they got there, they found multiple people who were shot. the victims were taken to several hospitals and the shooting remains under investigation. the minnesota state fair was forced to shut down early after a shooting there as well. officers responding to the fairgrounds in st. paul last

night after receiving reports of shots fired. a gunshot victim was later taken to a local hospital with nonlife threatening injuries. investigators have not yet released the identity of the suspect or a possible motive. more delays for the artemis i mission after a second launch attempt was scrubbed saturday afternoon due to a hydrogen leak. nasa announcing it is skipping the next potential launch days on monday and tuesday, meaning it will be at least several weeks late september before a launch can happen again. now engineers are deciding whether the rocket should stay on the launch pat or be rolled to another facility for more repairs. >> we do not launch until we think it's right. and these teams have labored over that.

and that is the conclusion that they came to. so i look at this as a part of our space program of which safety is the top of the list. >> cnn's space and defense correspondent kristin fisher was in kennedy space center. she has the latest. >> reporter: good morning, boris and amara. we have got another hydrogen leak. this one much bigger than the one that nasa encountered on monday. so, nasa now has to fix it. and they got two options. they can either try to fix it on the launchpad or they can roll the rocket all the way back to the vab, the vehicle assembly building, essentially the garage, and try to fix it there. to do that, that's four miles away from the launchpad. it can take up to three and a half days to get the rocket back there. it is a very intensive process that nasa really was hoping not to do. but regardless of where they make those repairs, as of now, nasa says it is going to have to

roll the rocket back to the vab regardless because of a safety violation with the range. the range is run by the u.s. space force, and nasa says they're going to try to ask for an extension or a waiver to that safety violation. but as of now they just don't know if they'll get it. so what this means in terms of timing is that there is no way that nasa is going to be able to launch by the end of this launch window, which ends on tuesday. so that means the next launch attempt of the artemis rocket likely will not be until the end of september at the earliest. more likely mid to late october, if not later. here is nasa's associate administrator jim free speaking at a press conference moments after that second scrub was announced. >> we don't go into the tests lightly. we don't just say, hey, we think, we hope this is going to work. the confidence to do another launch attempt today was born out of the fact that we understood the hydrogen leaks that we had on monday.

those are different than the leak that we had today. and in terms of scale, one was in the same place, but today was a different signature. and we understood the engine issues. so we were confident coming into today. but as the minister said, we're not going to launch until we're ready. >> nasa administrator bill nelson was also at this press conference and he pointed out that the space shuttle had to be rolled back to the vab about 20 times, so this is not unheard of by any means. he also pointed out that the cost of two scrubs is less than the cost of one failure. so this is not the worst case scenario by any means for nasa. worst case scenario is an explosion at the launchpad or shortly after liftoff, but, you know, boris and amara, make no mistake, a lot of disappointment at the kennedy space center. this is not what they wanted. >> we'll be looking forward to the next attempt. that was kristin fisher reporting. still ahead, the fight in

battleground states is heating up as the midterms draw near. we're going to tell you what president biden has planned and how his midterm message is taking shape. plus, a troubling trend in the classroom. a major drop in test scores after the pandemic. what it means for families and students as they start the school year. who says you have to spend more on skincare to get results? i power up my skin with olay. it works. guaranteed. y niacinamide for strength, retinol 24 for smoothness and vitamin c r brightness. i like to use them all! olay. face anything. ♪ with 20 made-to-order griddle combos, there's a perfect plate for everyone. great value for all your favorites only from ihop. download the app and earn free food with every order.

to the midterm campaign season as voters really start to engage in these campaigns. and president biden is really trying to capitalize on that. as you mentioned, he's heading to these three critical battlegrounds over the next week or so. tomorrow he'll be in milwaukee and pittsburgh at these labor day events. later in the week, he's going to ohio to attend the groundbreaking for an intel microprocessor plant, these are all a very critical battleground senate battlegrounds and also governor battlegrounds over these midterm elections. and we do expect president biden to appear with several of the democratic candidates in those states when he travels there. i think that's an important indication of where things stand. 64 days before the midterm elections. remember, over the summer, it wasn't necessarily clear how welcome president biden would be on the campaign trail. as his poll numbers dropped, also his approval rating plummeted, things seem to be turning around somewhat for

president biden as gas prices drop, as inflation eases. democrats are optimistic. of course, he is still facing that historical precedent that presidents in their first midterms typically fair poorly. one person who knows that very well is former president barack obama, and he will be here at the white house this week on wednesday for his official portrait unveiling, the former first lady michelle obama will be here as well. normally presidents have their portraits unveiled sort of in the first few years after they leave office. that didn't happen during the trump administration. things, of course, far friendlier between president biden and president obama. this will only be the second time president obama is back here at the white house. it is the first time that his wife michelle obama will be back here since they left office in 2017. boris and amara? >> big week ahead for president biden. kevin liptak, thank you so much. just over nine weeks out from the midterm elections, both president biden and former president trump are zeroing in

on a major battleground. pennsylvania. president biden is set to visit pittsburgh tomorrow, following his speech in philadelphia last week, and which he criticized donald trump and his supporters. last night, the former president held a rally to support the gop candidate for governor, doug mastriano, and senate candidate mehmet oz. let's discuss those races and much more with cnn political commentator and republican strategist alice stewart and megan heys, former special assistant to president biden, the director of message planning. alice and megan, good morning. thank you for sharing part of your holiday weekend with us. alice, first to you, in that speech last night, donald trump went after joe biden. he spent a lot of time talking about joe biden who is not going to be on the ballot in november in pennsylvania. how much is that messaging going to boost mastriano and oz who both have been trailing in recent polling? >> not very much, but you're

right, boris, for someone who went to pennsylvania to talk about oz and mastriano, the former president talked a lot about himself, and the current president. and that is going to be, i think, the message moving forward. former president trump referred to the president biden as an enemy of the state. and really lashing out on the -- what he sees as criticism that president biden has made to former president trump and his supporters over the last few weeks. and just a fresh recap, biden r really criticized what he called maga republicans and extreme maga republicans for their election denials, for their support for january 6th, and for also not having any problem or criticizing the fbi raid on mar-a-lago. the alternate reality view of all of that criticism from donald trump last night was astounding. he viewed those criticisms as

the biden administration and the democrats overreaching and with regard to the elections, he says this is sensering free speech, with regard to january 6th, he says that is imprisoning political protesters, and with regard to mar-a-lago, he says this is the democrats and the fbi and doj raiding the homes of political enemies. it is just astounding the different way that they view what president biden has talked about. from a political standpoint, clearly threats to democracy are going to be center stage for both sides. i happen to think stepping back, when you look at what is top of mind for the american people, moving into the general election, sure, threats to democracy are at the top of the list. but even more of importance to the american people are cost of living, jobs and the economy. those issues rank higher than threats to democracy, but, boris, there is no doubt we're going to hear this theme as a drumbeat from now until

november. >> and, megan, as alice outlined, president biden has gone after trump more agg aggressively recently in the philadelphia speech. it is not really a side of joe biden that we have seen a whole lot of, how does that wind up helping democrats if donald trump isn't on the ballot? >> well, look, these are values that the president ran on in 2020. it is not surprising heading into the midterms that these are the same values he would be running on. battle for the soul of the nation was a drumbeat during our campaign. the president has done a lot with democrats to run on with the inflation reduction act, the chips bill, the infrastructure loss, he provided some leadership for folks to run on heading into the midterms and that will be part of his message. >> so, alice, trump's rally, you know, he's stumping for gop candidates in pennsylvania, but to some degree, it was a preview, the ground work for a possible campaign in 2024. doesn't that stand to overshadow some of the candidates that are

actually running ten weeks from now? >> that's a big fear. and i said it many times, the more time republicans spend talking about donald trump, the less time they're spending talking about inflation, rising crime, and the problem at the border. and one thing to follow up on, on megan's point, yes, president biden campaigned on and really came into office on battling for the soul of the nation, but with the speech he had this week, here's the way republicans are viewing this. i understand and i did hear president biden clarify he wasn't talking about all republicans, he was talking about those -- the extreme base of the party that supported the election denials and january 6th and frustrated with mar-a-lago, but the way republicans are viewing that, they see this as him attacking all republicans and that is extremely divisive for many republicans and they are frustrated with this. that being said, the feeling is that joe biden would much rather

be talking about these issues than inflation and the economy, where as republicans would be better served if they focus on inflation and the economy as we head to the midterms because that's the concern for people across this country. and it is going to not only appeal to the base of the republican party, but the independents and undecided voters, that's what they're going to go out and vote on. >> a lot of other big senate races and close ones in georgia, wisconsin, nevada, ohio, which do you think is the most vulnerable for your party? >> look, i think all the races are important, they're all battleground states. the president spends a tremendous amount of time on the road. he'll continue to campaign in those three states as you mentioned. democrats, he's going to see fetterman tomorrow. i think those are important places for him to be. i don't think one is more important. i think there is -- he finds all of them to be important places he will continue to campaign for democrats.

tampering with evidence. after a week without clean water there are positive signs emerging in the jackson water crisis. city officials say that most of jackson, mississippi, should now have water pressure. they say that troubled water plant made significant gains from friday night into saturday, but they say ongoing repairs could still cause pressure to fluctuate, especially in a few remaining parts of south jackson. as you can see, residents are still lining up at water distribution sites, which are set to remain open. there is a growing concern this morning about the pandemic's impact on our children's education. recently released national test results showed 2022 test scores for 9-year-olds fell an alarming 5 points in reading in and 7 points in math compared to early 2020 before those lockdowns and school shutdowns began in the u.s. that is the largest drop in 30 years. and the first decline ever in math.

here to discuss this further is peggy carr, commissioner of the national center for education statistics. good morning to you, peggy. this is extremely worrying, just to hear as a parent, but can you put these numbers in context for us? simply speaking, 7-point drop, 5-point drop doesn't sound that dramatic. >> well, good morning, and thank you for having me. these results are -- >> okay. unfortunately, you know, that's live tv, and her picture has frozen for a moment. we'll try to get peggy carr back. and in the meantime, we're going to talk about something related to this issue with children and as a school -- as a new school year gets under way, educators are ringing the alarm over the nation teacher wide shortage. subpar pay, political pressure and overwhelming workloads have pushed teachers out and left

schools scrambling over staffing shortages. cnn's gabe cohen has a look at the teachers left standing that say they're beginning to burn out. >> reporter: when the bell rings at casa grande union high school -- >> good afternoon, welcome! >> reporter: -- more than 70 sophomores pile in to stacy br. >> can you speakp a little bit? >> reporter: some get an assistant. >> darius. >> reporter: others relie on a single teacher. what has it been like? >> to me, it has been very chaotic. i wish i could clone myself. i can't get to every kid who needs help. >> reporter: have you ever seen the shortage this bad? >> no, i have not seen the shortage this bad. >> reporter: jennifer works with the district. >> we have it posted. we have gone to job fairs.

and there is simply no teachers out there to be had right now. >> reporter: after two years of covid and tense public scrutiny, teacher burnout is surging nationwide. >> there weren't enough hours to do everything they wanted us to do. >> reporter: jennifer zanardi just quit her florida high school for a corporate job, saying salary was a factor, but the political pressure was the tipping point. >> the public was actually saying that teachers were trying to indoctrinate students. it affected my mental health and stress in a huge way. >> reporter: as enrollment in teacher preparation programs plummets, schools are competing for a shrinking pool of teachers and wealthier suburban districts are are winning out. as the federal government pumps billions in relief funds into districts, many rural schools send those with more low families and students of color are struggling to find staff. >> they are not going to the schools that are the most disadvantaged.

>> reporter: in prince georges county, maryland, where there is a high concentration of poverty, at least 8% of the district's teacher slots are are vacant, more than twice as many as last year. >> i'm scared. i'm really scared. >> reporter: a high school english teacher just found out she'll need to prep lessons for the subs in her department. >> i'm being pulled in so many different directions that i'm not going to really be able to focus on the students that i'm standing in front of every day. >> reporter: casa grande's elementary school district is one of many that has moved to a four-day week to retain staff. >> i.d.s please, thank you. >> reporter: their high schools are looking to hire more teachers from overseas. in some classrooms, paraeducators are teaching lessons prepared by a licensed teacher, like stacy brady. do you think the shortage is going to get worse? >> i think it will. my biggest fear is some kid is getting hurt in some way, emotionally or physically in the room that i'm not able to see it because there are so students in

the room. >> reporter: schools nationwide are trying to hire more staff than usual, making it even tougher to fill vacancies in places like arizona, where teachers make less than in most other states. so while districts like casa grande are trying to get creative to fill those gaps, it is getting harder to avoid packing students into massive classrooms like these. >> all right, thank you to gabe cohen for that. it looks like something out of a fast and furious movie. the low budget version. people in one l.a. neighborhood say the blockbuster movie franchise is driving an uptick in street racing. we'll take you there when "new day" returns.
