hey there, i'm victor blackwell. welcome to "cnn newsroom." >> i'm gbianna golodryga. we are following developments from two mass shootings. the 22-year-old suspect that opened fire inside an lgbtq club in colorado just completed his first court hearing in the case. and we're learning more about the store manager who allegedly opened fire in a walmart in southeastern virginia last night killing six people before killing himself. the store employee says the man began shooting in the break room. now the two incidents were the deadliest of six mass shootings in the u.s. since saturday alone, according to the gun violence archive. >> there have been more than 600 mass shootings this year. today president biden issued a plea for greater action to stop gun violence. he wrote that tomorrow is thanksgiving, one of our most cherished holidays that brings us together as americans and as families. because of yet another horrific and senseless act of violence, there are now even more tables across the country that will

have empty seats this thanksgiving. there are now more families who know the worst kind of loss and pain imaginable. >> cnn's diane gallagher is in virginia. what is the latest there? >> reporter: well, yeah, you can probably see up hire behind me, we still have a lot of first responders on the scene. i just saw a bunch of agents in the fbi jackets walking toward this walmart as they continue to process the scene for evidence. the city of chesapeake confirming what cnn's sources have been telling us that the gunman was identified as 31-year-old andre bing. walmart telling cnn that he was an overnight team leader, a manager who had been with the company since 2010. according to the city here, they say that he came in and began shooting, he used a handgun and had multiple magazines on him, talking to survivors who one of them, brianna tyler, telling

"good morning america" about those just chaotic and terrifying moments when he walked into the break room. >> yeah, he just -- literally started shooting throughout the entire break room. and i watched multiple people just drop down to the floor, whether they were trying to duck for cover or were hit. he just opened fire. he looked directly at me, but he -- luckily he missed my head by like an inch or two. he just came around the corner, and he just started shooting. the first person that was in his eyesight, he shot him down, and the next thing you know he started ringing throughout the break room, he did not say a word. >> reporter: and so again, six people killed before the gunman killed himself. the city says that three including the gunman were found in that break room. they found another person dead at the front of the store. three others were taken to the hospital where they sadly succumbed to their injuries. you know, brianna also talked about the fact that when she started recently she was told,

look, to just kind of watch out for that particular manager, that he always had some issues with him. other survivors and employees have told us that they also found him to be odd and had problems with him. look, my colleague, brian todd, has been pressing walmart for any sort of disciplinary history or whether or not they had events reported to them billion this gunman in the past, but so far walmart has not responded with any of those details. >> all right. dianne gallagher at the scene. thank you. joining us is virginia congressman bobby scott whose district includes the neighborhood where the shooting happened. congressman, thanks for being with us. first, i just want your reaction to this happening in your community, in your neighborhood. >> well, this is -- happens all too often, and our thoughts are with the victims. i've been this touch with the mayor and the department of homeland security, department of justice, that have victim assistance programs, and we're making sure that those are

available. i've been in touch with walmart, they're making sure that all of the people who are in the store, victims, direct victims or otherwise, are being cared for. so that's our first thought. but virginia has been subject to many of these kinds of incidents going back to virginia tech. just last week, university of virginia, virginia beach little while ago. it's just -- happens too often. there's something unique about the united states, but these kinds of things, you just mentioned over 600 mass shootings just this year. we need to do something about it. >> yeah. shameful number at that. congressman, virginia enacted several gun safety laws just last year including a universal background check, extreme risk protection law, stronger protections for victims of domestic violence, and meaningful investments in community violence --

what kinds of bills would you like to see passed? >> after sandy hook, the u.s. house created a gun safety task force. regrettably we couldn't get any republicans to join, but we had a list of -- of initiatives that we believe will be very helpful beginning with the assault weapons ban limiting the size of magazines, universal background checks, crime prevention measures generally, investments in mental health, a lot of things we can do. there's no one thing you can do that will cover everything, but there are things you can do to reduce the incidence of these mass shootings. and we have to take whatever action is necessary. that might not be enough if we did everything that's on the list now, but we have to begin to take academies. the u.s. house pass -- action. the u.s. house passed, congress

passed, the president signed, some bills that took a little step in the right direction. but it was not adequate to effectively deal with all of the loopholes in background checks and other things that need to be done. >> i think it's important that you point out that there's no single legislation that will end all gun violence. and even the -- the list of potential legislation you just read off may not end every shooting. but when you say that something has to be done, you're going into lame duck, republicans take control of the house in january, is it realistic that anything more than was already passed after uvalde and buffalo will get passed on the federal level? >> well, you'd have to ask the republicans. i think there's a significant interest on the democratic side to do something. and we've had significant resistance from the other side of the aisle.

so you'll have to ask them what they're willing to do. i think you wouldn't have much problem with democrats wanting to step up and do something, about 6 h-- 606 mass shootings this year, i think 100 since september. i mean, other countries don't go through this. we can do something about it. >> let me push back on that if i can because virginia state senator lionel sprewell just today, and we no te he represens chesapeake, said what you've been saying -- that there isn't much support for gun legislation amongst republicans, but he admitted that that applies to some democrats, as well, within the commonwealth of virginia. what is your response there if you can't get members from your own party on board for some of this legislation? >> we can get the vast majority of members of our side. i think it's not unusual that you can't get unanimous support.

there will always be some side that will not agree with the majority of their pearty. i think there's significant support on the democratic side to do something. the resistance has come from the republican side. you're not going to get unanimous support and even if we had unanimous support -- the democratic side, it's not enough to overcome in the senate, u.s. senate, a filibuster. but to suggest that there are one or two democrats that aren't supportive when virtually all of the republicans are opposed to say it's -- you can't find where the problem is, you know where the problem is. >> yeah. congressman bobby scott, thank you for joining us. i'm sorry that it's under this devastating headline, and we're thinking of you and your community there today. we appreciate your time. >> thank you, and on behalf of

my constituents, thank you for highlighting this, and we're going to be supporting the victims and the families. >> yeah. yeah. thank you. well, we turn now to colorado. the el paso county district attorney just announced that former mal -- formal charges against the individual who shot up the lgbtq nightclub will be sentenced this month. he just had his first court appearance in the case. nick watt is in colorado springs following all of the developments. so nick, what happened in court? >> reporter: well, the suspect appeared via video link from the jailhouse. the suspect was seated, slumped, wearing an orange jumpsuit. it was difficult to tell on the video, but appeared to have bruising around the forehead. remember, there were two people in that club kicking the suspect repeatedly in the head while the suspect was being subdued. the suspect in court spoke very little, confirmed name and confirmed yes that the suspect

had watched the video about the rights and no that there were no questions. i think we have a little bit of that video that we can show you right now. >> could the defendant please state his name? [ inaudible ] >> anderson aldrich, did you watch the video concerning your constitutional rights in this case? >> yes. >> do you have any questions about those rights? >> no. >> reporter: now you will notice the judge used the pronoun he during that hearing, but the defendant's lawyers in court filings last night say that this suspect identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. now, the district attorney was asked after this appearance

whether that will have any bearing on how this case is prosecuted. remember, right now the arrest charges are five times first-degree murder and also five times bias-related crimes. the da dismissed that out of hand and said the legal definition is defendant. the da said "i'm looking at evidence to what occurred here, and the pronouns, the nonbinary status will have no impact on the way i prosecute this case." now, this morning we spoke with one of the suspect's recent neighbors here in colorado springs. apparently the suspect and the suspect's mother lived just down the hall until september. the person we spoke to bonded with this suspect over video games. they would play for hours. now this neighbor said that the suspect never once mentioned a nonbinary status to him, and also that, you know, the suspect had on occasion made slurs

against the gay community, had said that he didn't like -- sorry, they didn't like or slash hated gays and used a slur. these outbursts, the neighbor told us, came apparently from a place of anger and were normally directed in a racial fashion rather than against the lgbtq community. now apparently the suspect was very pro free speech, very pro guns, pro first and second amendment and showed the weapons to this neighbor, and the neighbor expressed some concern, and the suspect apparently told this neighbor it's not the guns you got to be afraid of, it's the people. guys? >> important context. nick watt for us there outside the courthouse. thank you. joining us now is andy pico, republican representative in the colorado general assembly. thank you so much for joining us. so in the aftermath of the shooting, there's been a lot of questions as to why the state's red flag law was not triggered.

one of the explanations given following the suspect's arrest last year was that no charges were filed. having said that, in the aftermath of the shooting, governor polis said the statute itself is not being sufficiently used. he said, quote, i think it needs to be really evangelized more and talked about more. do you agree with that statement from the governor? >> thanks for having me on, but no, i don't quite agree with it. the red flag law as it is written does have some shortfalls in personal protections, rights of due process and so forth, which most red flag laws across the country have that failing. that said, the red flag law, whether it was used or not, we don't know why it wasn't. i mean, i've asked that question, too, well why -- since it is on the books, why was this guy even walking around based upon what happened a year ago. and i don't have an answer on

that, and frankly, it's too early to say because those records are sealed under colorado law. we can't have a look at it just yet, and the investigation is still ongoing. so you know, we don't know why he wasn't charged or why the red flag law wasn't triggered in this particular case. so we just kind of have to wait and see when the records are unsealed at such time and the investigation has a chance to fully run its course. >> let's talk about the trend, the trajectory of mass shootings across the state of colorado. 60 -- more than 60 mass shootings in colorado since 2013. ten or more in 2020, 2021, already this year, as well. what needs to change in colorado to reverse this trajectory? >> well, i think what you have

is much more of a mental health problem among people who are -- who aren't for some reason not able to deal with the circumstances that they r. it's not the issue of the guns per se, it's the issue of the fact that people -- there are a number of people who really should have treatment of some kind -- >> how do you know it's not the issue of the guns? >> i'm sorry, what? >> how do you know it's not the issue of the gun? you say it's mental health, and that certainly has a place in the conversation. now dismiss the issue of the gun, the only thing that every mass shooting has in common is the gun. >> well, they -- >> they might not all have mental health issues. i'm asking why you're dismissing it. >> i'm not dismissing the fact that you have guns. the issue is the guns are just a tool. the problem is the individuals who have it. if you take guns away, for example, you're going to have the same sort of problem -- it's a violence problem, it's not

necessarily a gun problem. in other places where guns have been taken away, other things are used. in london, for example, they're talking about steak knife control. in china you had a mass killing in a school much more horrific, and it was done with knives. so it's the issue of the individuals, not the guns. the guns have been around for hundreds of years here. we've had semiautomatic guns around for 100 years. and this is a more of a recent problem. so the problem is not the guns per se. that's just a tool. the individuals who need to be in some sort of treatment program are identified and so forth. look, if -- in colorado we have strict laws on all these things, and we still have the problem. so you know, you've got a red flag law, you've got magazine restrictions. you have a lot of what people say they need, and yet we still

have the problem. >> yeah -- >> it's the violence problem. it's not necessarily a gun problem. >> yeah, sadly we're out of time. we're going to have to have you back. i think you would agree that the united states doesn't have a monopoly of people with mental health issues. certainly your state doesn't have a monopoly of people suffering from mental health issues. you saw from the graph, the numbers are going up. police responded within minutes, and still five people were dead. you know, perhaps you can come back and talk about the weapon itself and the role that it plays in this. >> colorado state representative andy pico. thank you. all right, the holiday travel rush, it's on. it actually started a couple days ago if not in earnest yesterday. huge numbers of people are passing through airports and highways. some help for your trip. that's next. and from the turkey to the sides, we'll tell you how inflation is making this a much more expensive holiday. if you used shipgo this whole thing wouldn't be a thing. yeah, dad! i don't want to deal with this. oh, you brought your

today marks one of the busiest travel days of the year. an estimated 55 million americans are expected to leave home for thanksgiving, and that's back to pre-pandemic levels. >> pete monteen dumfries, virginia. how are things looking there? >> reporter: i'll show you. this is 95 southbound near dumfries. if you've ever tried to drive from maryland, northern virginia, d.c., down i-95 south to richmond and the tidewater area, points south, you know this spot. this is the linchpin. this is where it typically gets bad. we have been in stop-and-go traffic for the last few miles now. this goes for about another 20 miles. we are in the thick of it. this is kind of the worst period aaa says to drive for the thanksgiving holiday. really started about 11:00 a.m.,

goes until about 8:00 p.m. tonight. today will be the busiest on the roads. the forecast from aaa, 48.7 million people driving 50 miles or more over the next five days starting today. really not all that far off from the 2019 actual numbers when we saw 49.9 million people hit the roads. just look at the breakdown here of the metro areas that are going to see really bad traffic over the next few hours. atlanta, new york, l.a., chicago, boston, san francisco, the congestion today will be twice the worst congestion on a normal day. so this is going to be really bad out there. what is really interesting here is that gas prices really aren't factoring into this for folks even though we're seeing gas prices the highest they've ever

been for a thanksgiving rush. $3.61 is the national average according to aaa. up from $3.40 not all that long ago, about a year ago. so you know, down from the highs of $5 which we saw on june 14th. but it's going down, just not really keeping folks off the roads. they can't really be daunted, especially when you look at traffic like this on i-95. it is not holding people back. >> yeah. pete, wonderful report. i got everything i needed. what's with these house phones hanging up next to you? from "family ties"? you have a cell phone anywhere? >> reporter: it's a little old school. this is what we call the rcv, the roaming coverage vehicle. and yeah, we got land lines in here. it's so we can talk to you guys actually, although it's kind of outdated now. i'm able to hear the earpiece on my phone in 2022. >> like a 1982 batmobile you're in right now.

>> reporter: it does make me feel very official, yes. >> pete, thank you. >> keep smiling. all right. air travel, let's talk about that. hovering around pre-pandemic levels. the tsa estimates that agents will screen 2.5 million passengers between today and sunday. all this despite a spike in air fare costs. barry biffle is ceo of frontier airlines. he's with us now. barry, good to see you. i checked flight aware before the show. things are looking good. what are your expectations for today and through the rest of the holiday weekend? >> yeah, look, i think we're getting people back in the air, and it's good to see. the season is actually more elongated. it's unfortunate to hear about that traffic on the road. but you know, we started seeing outbound travel for thanksgiving start last thursday actually. and we're seeing the returns spread into next week. it's kind of flattening out that demand. so it actually enables more

people to travel than used to. yes, we're well within -- industry overall is doing well with operations. >> has frontier solved the staffing issues that made travel for every flyer on any airline really over the summer, have they solved those issues? just made it a nightmare for people back then -- >> we had a great summer. yeah, we actually had a great summer operationally for frontier. we had staffed ahead of it and stayed ahead of it, so we didn't have the challenges that -- in fact, had one of our best summers that we've ever had operationally. the industry did have challenges. but you know, our perception is that pretty much everyone has gotten the staffing challenges behind them now. >> let me ask you about this letter that three democratic senators sent to secretary buttigieg yesterday, secretary of transportation, asking the dot to require airlines to cover secondary costs for delays or cancelations that are the airlines' fault or at least controllable, meal vouchers, hotel stays. frontier is the only major u.s.

airline that does not offer hotel stays for passengers, any passenger affected by controllable overnight delays or cancelations, why? >> well, so we don't actually have daily flights in all of our markets. so we have provided hotels. but the way that the -- i guess the rules are written there, it makes it sound like we never provide hotels because there may not be another flight for another week. so we don't provide it for seven days. but we do provide hotels in certain situations. >> okay. do you or will you offer potentially -- peut them on another flight with another partner with another airline? >> no, we do provide refunds, and we will allow them to fly on the next flight. but we do not use other airlines. >> all right. let me ask you about the go wild all you can fly pass. >> but -- but if i could -- if i could say, though, i do think

that, you know, in the past airlines did allow reciprocal carrying on each other. i not that's something we should -- i not that's something we should look into as an industry. >> you're the ceo. i will have you back once you look into it. let me ask you about the all you can fly pass. $799 for 12 months, some passes that go up after that limited number. for flights on more than 300 days of the year including international travel. is this the way that you think the industry is going, and why is frontier going this direction? >> well, i think we're unique. we don't carry a lot of business travelers. we don't have a lot of walkup demand. if we look over the last year, we carry -- we had over five million empty seats. and we project that we'll have another five million over the next year. so this gives you unlimited access to those seats over 300 days a year for $799. and if the flights are available tomorrow, for the next day, we'll confirm you, it's up to

ten days for international. so you know, if you just took a trip or two international, the pass pays for itself. it gives you freedom and fights the inflation that people are seeing. >> barry biffle, ceo of frontier airlines, thank you. happy thanksgiving. twin explosions struck jerusalem this morning. one was at a bus station that killed a teenager. we're live on the ground as the manhunt for those responsible continues. what's the #1 retinol brand used most by dermatologists? it's neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair® smooths the look of fine lines in 1-week, deep wrinkles in 4. so you can kiss wrinkles goodbye! neutrogena®

israeli police say a pair of explosions in jerusalem were suspected of being a combined terror attack. at least one person, a 15-year-old student, is dead, and more than a dozen others injured including two u.s. citizens. >> cnn has more from jerusalem. haddas, what are authorities saying about the investigation so far? >> reporter: well, the first explosion took place just after 7:00 a.m. on a bus stop along one of the major entryway and exit points into the city and then 30 minutes later a second explosion at another bus stop not far away. police are saying that what happened was bombs were placed in bags or packages of some kind and hidden at both bus stops and then detonated remotely. they were filled with screws and nails and bald bearings to cause -- ball bearings to cause the

maximum amount of jury and impact. at the scene, the blastyated -- blast radius stretched across three lanes of traffic. that goes to show the impact of this blast. as you noted, a 15-year-old canadian israeli was killed. more than 14 injured including two u.s. citizens. now so far no militant group has claimed responsibility. israeli police are still searching, they say, for the suspects and haven't pointed the finger at any sort of militant group yet who they say may be behind this other than saying it was a well organized and sophisticated operation. the israeli prime minister vowing to catch those who are behind it. take a listen. >> translator: i want to say to the citizens of israel we will find them, they can run, they can hide, it won't help them. the security forces will reach them. if they resist, they will be eliminated. if not, we will punish them to the fullest est extent of the . >> reporter: this has been already a deadly and violent

year for both israelis and palestinians. but today's attack is quite a high escalation, and it's bringing back memories where there was regular suicide bombings and bombings at bus stations and restaurants and the like because there has not been an attack like this, a bombing like this of this sophistication, in several years here. >> i'll take it. hadas gold in jerusalem. thank you. to ukraine now where there are widespread power outages after a new barrage of russian missiles strikes across the country today. ukrainian forces say russia launched 70 missiles leaving most of ukrainian power plants deenergized. at least seven people died including a teenaged girl in kyiv. dozens more are injured. the strikes have also caused massive blackouts in neighboring moldova, as well. >> now in the zaporizhzhia region, authorities rescued a woman and daughter from the rubble, but the woman's newborn was killed. ukraine's president

♪ it's subway's biggest refresh yet! the heartwarming moment that went viral. emotional reunion of a baby chimpanzee and his mother at the sedgwick county zoo in kansas. now the birth became difficult for the mother. the zoo called in the two ob-gyns from a local health clinic to perform an emergency

c-section. the baby was immediately taken away after delivery to receive supplemental oxygen. two days later, they were reunited, as you saw in the video, and they were instantly inseparable. joining us is zoological manager danielle decker and zookeeper devin turner. we've been looking forward to this conversation all week, i have to tell you. especially our executive producer. we can't stop talking about it. let me begin with you, danielle. how are mom and baby doing right now? >> they are doing fantastic. they are bonding. the baby is reaching all of his milestones. we couldn't be any more happy with how things are going right now. >> and devin, i take it you were the first to hold the baby after that emergency c-section. walk us through the delivery experience and when you knew ultimately that something was going wrong. >> well, i had come in that

morning, and she was in labor. things were progressing normally. we were, of course, very excited. she was an experienced mother. she had had two before at her previous institution. and unfortunately, her labor stalled, and the contractions became farther and farther apart. so we immediately notified our veterinarian, and he brought in the ob-gyns. once we were in the delivery room, they found that the baby's heart rate was slower than we wanted. so they were moving forward with a c-section. of course there's always -- you're so excited, but you're also nervous, hoping that mom and baby are both okay. to have him in my arms and have him healthy was just -- it was the most amazing experience. >> we're watching video of the baby getting that oxygen supplement there. and the actual video of the c-se

c-section. it's incredible to see. thank goodness for the experienced staff there that you have, danielle. this has been a difficult process over the last few years, the last time you delivered a chimp, that was in 2019. the baby turned out to be stillborn. how concerned were you that things were going to turn for the worse here, as well? >> there's always that risk. you know, you don't know when to intervene and when -- you don't want to do it too soon or too late. but like i -- like you said, we have a very experienced staff here, and we knew what we needed to do. you know, with the sadness of 2019 of having the stillborn, you know, we were worried. you know, we were really excited about there pregnancy, and adde group. they love babies, and they thrive in their group setting. we just are so ecstatic that we have the good outcome we did because we're so excited for our group. >> i can't get over -- enough of this video and watching them together. if you can, danielle, give us a

sense of what you went through when you finally saw them reunited and when you saw mom turn and see her baby and quickly grab him. >> yeah, there was that moment where she came into the area, she kind of just was looking around. and then that moment the baby vocalized and reached his hand up, and she scooped him up in her arms. that was the best outcome we could have ever asked for. it was very emotional for me and my keepers. watching the mother love knows no bounds. it just brought us joy and tears, and -- just very emotional time. yes. >> that maternal instinct kicked right in for the mother. it is precious to see them together. we've been covering so many devastating stories this week. thank you for bringing us in bit of good news and incredible video. we appreciate your time, and congratulations on the baby. danielle decker and devin

all right. thanksgiving is tomorrow, and putting together that meal this year is costing families more money. rising inflation combined with higher demand, even bird flu, have led to big price hikes in grocery stores across the country and that means some families may have to get creative with their menus this year. >> gabe cohen is at a grocery store. all the arrows are pointing up in terms of the price increase this year. what are you hearing from people? >> reporter: what we're hearing is frustration and sticker shock that a holiday all about

celebrating with family and friends is suddenly just yet another stressful inflation strain. surveys show thanksgiving dinner could cost an extra 13% to 20% this year, and that's a big blow to so many families that are already struggling to make ends meet. paying more now for groceries in general, home heating, gasoline, electricity, and much more than that, and for so many around thanksgiving, they're just wondering how they're going to be able to make ends meet and put enough food on the table. one of the strategies i've heard in recent months from people about how they can actually save money is by changing how much food they buy and where they get it, and something i'm hearing again in this parking lot, some people are willing to eat those inflated thanksgiving costs. others just can't put enough food on the table. >> we've bought all the same stuff we normally buy. ew we just have to pay more for it. >> what does that mean for you?

>> we're going to pay less somewhere else. >> i made the sacrifice and probably didn't buy as much. >> i didn't buy a turkey this year. i didn't buy a ham this year. >> because of the price? >> because of the prices. if people don't like that, i'm not begging them to eat it. >> reporter: and i also heard from two friends in this parking lot that said they're having thanksgiving together because their families couldn't afford to travel to see them for the holiday. this holiday is affected in more ways than one, but especially food. even food banks are struggling to keep up with that surging demand. feed america spent 20% on turkeys this year, but with the nation eating their supplies, they're stretched then. >> a lot of adjustments are

because of rising costs. thank you. the upcoming "avatar" sequel was so expensive to make it'll need more than $2 billion just to break even. >> why do you come to us? >> i just want to keep my family safe. >> director james cameron told "gq" magazine that at "avatar" has to be the third or fourth highest grossing movie in history to turn a profit. the highest includes the last two "avengers" films, the other hit "titanic." "avatar 2" is the first of four sequels planned. that hits theaters december 16th. are you excited? >> can i be honest? >> please. >> i didn't love the first one.

i appreciate the artistic technology and the time that went into it. i can't say i'm itching to go back to the theater to watch this one. >> i don't remember if i saw the first one, and if i did, it wasn't in a theater. it might have been in a headrest on a delta flight. >> i remember exactly where in the theater i was sitting so that tells you something. maybe not for the right reasons, but we'll see. we'll give it a try. the justice department now wants to speak with former vice president mike pence as a witness in its investigation into the january 6th insurrection. more on the breaking news next.
