his path to the nba. we will hear don's great interview with the legend himself. >> first, co-workers say that he exhibited odd and sometimes threatening behavior. he killed six people before taking his own life. diane gallagher is live for us in chesapeake, virginia this morning. hello to you. >> reporter: hello, don. look, there are state and federal authorities out here on scene this morning. police told me today that they're still working to determine a motive for this shooting. look, the victims' families are trying to come to terms with life without them and the survivors of the shooting are still trying to process of the trauma of something to them they say still doesn't feel real. harrowing stories of survival after another mass shooting. >> the only thing that made it

real was the vibrations hitting your chest and the ringing from the gun going off. and it just kept going and going and going. >> reporter: jesse, a new employee, hid under a table until she came face to face with the shooter. >> and he just had the gun up to my forehead and it's just really hard. he told me to go home. >> the city of chesapeake identifying the shooter as 31-year-old andre bing. walmart confirms he was an overnight team lead. according to employees, bing entered the break room just as employees were clocking in to start their shifts. >> just left out of the break room, [ bleep ], started capping people up in there, started shooting. >> investigators were seen searching the alleged shooter's home. police say the gunman was armed

with several magazines and a pistol. brianna tyler said there were around 15 people in the break room. >> he didn't say a word, he didn't look at anyone specific, he just had a blank stare on his face and he literally looked around the room and just shot. >> reporter: six employees were shot and killed, including a 16-year-old. police believe the gunman died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. according to police, two employees were found dead in the break room. another victim was found in the front of the store and three victims were taken to local hospitals but later died. 26-year-old jaylen jones was in the break room and shot multiple times, including in his back, his mother told our affiliate. >> he was on a ventilator, he was unable to breathe on his

own. but now he's talking. he's just glad to be alive. >> reporter: in our discussions with survivors, employees and former employees who did work with the shooter, all of them had similar feelings about what it was like to be around him. they described him as exhibiting odd or even threatening behaviors at times. they talked about the fact that he enjoyed his position of power. some people described him as mean. now look, don, we have asked walmart if there were any official complaints that were logged against him but they have not answered our questions. >> diane gallagher, thank you very much. >> and now to another mass shooting in america, the mass shooting over the weekend at the colorado lgbtq night club. the suspect is being held this morning without bond after making his first appearance in court, preliminary charges include five counts of first degree murder and five counts of a bias motivated crime.

nick watt joins us live in kol come springs. you spoke to the neighbor of the shooter as well. what can you tell us about all of it this morning? >> reporter: well, you mentioned those charges there, poppy. by december 6th, the d.a. here hopes to prove those bias related charges. they need to prove, they need to figure out what the motive was here. sure looks like hate but they need to prove that in order to levy those bias related charges. the appearance was interesting. video link from this jail behind me, the suspect was slumped, orange jump suit, heavy buzing fro bruising the suspect took while being subdued in the club that night. name said "yup," did watch the video about rights, "no," did not have any questions.

this issue of pronounce. the lawyer of the suspect now say the suspect identifies as non-binary. the d.a. was asked repeatedly by reporters is this going to have any bearing one go from here? and the d.a. was adamant, no, makes no difference to the investigation or the prosecution. this is a suspect. the pronounce have no relevance. poppy. >> and i wonder, nick, what you heard when you spoke to a neighbor of the shooter. >> reporter: well, not just a neighbor, a friend. they bonded, they lived across the hallway, bonded over playing video games. a couple of things really stuck out to me that this young man, xavier told me. first was this suspect is not someone i would have around my gay friends. apparently the suspect did have occasional outbursts, some directed at the gay community, other directed at other races.

it's interesting, he was also telling me that after the suspect was involved in this bomb threat on his mother, after that case was dropped and sealed, xavier krause hoped that his friend might get life back on track and clearly that didn't happen. krause says we were about the same age. krause said it really struck me. i was living across the hall with my girl friend, the suspect was living on the other side with their mother. and, you know, he also said that the suspect was very proud of the weapons and showed them off to krause and that made krause feel a little uncomfortable. he raised that and the suspect said, you know, it's not the guns you got to be afraid of, bro, it's the people. and krause said that has really sort of sat with him. he feels terrible for his friend, terrible for the victims and we can't make this all about

the suspect. club q, this is a small lgbtq community here but they are going to be missing those two members. >> thank you for the excellent reporting. >> so it was predicted that yesterday would be one of the busiest travel days of the year and we'd see airports more packed than they've been in year. are the tsa numbers bearing all of that out and are airlines keeping up with demand? we are live at rag 'national airport, all dressed up and nowhere to go. he's not getting on one of those planes but he's reporting on what's happening. are the numbers bearing it out?

>> we were just shy of the record we saw on july 1st when 2 opinion 9 million people passed through the airport for that long 4th of july holiday weekend. what's really interesting, there is this new trend. this rush is really getting longer because folks are able to work from home. we've been averaging 2.3 million people a day at airports nationwide beep may see big peaks and not big rallies because trends have changed, people are able to work from home. the one good thing here is that things are really smooth for the airlines and passengers have had a pretty good experience because frankly the weather has been pretty good and cancellations pretty low. so that is good news, especially it paels in comparison to the huge cancellation numbers we saw

over the summer. and the pressure has really been on airlines to get it together. and the transportation judge said he was going to be watching this really closely. listen. >> i am cautiously optimistic about this week being off to a good start and we're going to be watching this very closely as we go into the other peak holiday travel times coming in the next few weeks. >> reporter: the busy days are still ahead, don. sunday will likely be a huge day with everyone coming home all at once. the tsa anticipates we could see 2.5 million people at the airport. if you can do it, travel on the although we'll see as we go through the week here. maybe folks will drive the numbers high on friday because of the changing trends. >> thank thanksgiving to you.

>> all right. you flying today, should be a pretty dry day. the south could be in for some wet weather. let's go to chad myers for more on the thanksgiving forecast. looking pretty good. >> looking really good across the east coast. good morning, poppy, and happy thanksgiving. but in the middle of the country, st. louis, dallas, you guys could be a little bit slow when it comes to airports and roadways. this is the best thanksgiving parade weather i can maybe ever remember. not so much for houston. big parade down there. you're going to need umbrellas or maybe upon chos. by tomorrow the rain does move across the east coast and out to sea but there's another storm system that develops and maybe slows down your sunday travel if that's when you're trying to come home. this is going to be a little bit slow, especially across the

roadways where winter storms are going on. here's what it looks like there for your sunday. you can see the rain into the east coast airports. that's when so many people will be on the road. although it took a few hours, two to three hours just to drive through atlanta yesterday with the road traffic. so people are on air plains but they're also in their cars. >> i can't wait to get on ours. going home, minnesota. and it's warmish. can't wait. thanks, chad. >> that's right, "ish." >> just a few hours away for the thanksgiving day parade. brent, this is early, isn't it? >> you know, it's getting close. there's actually been a countdown in the crowd, don. i've been here a little earlier than that and there were people here when i arrived.

so people are so excited. let me get out of the way. you got to see. this is the start of the parade route. these macy parade performers are practicing. we already saw leah michelle practicing, i saw paula abdul walk by. it is getting very excited. you can hear the crowd getting warmed up right now. let me get out of the way here so you guys can see. very excited about the start of this. everyone is helping. everyone is anticipating everyone going through the streets and enjoying this festive event. >> did it start a little bit earlier this year? that's what i was asking about. >> yes. i'm sorry, don. it starts earlier because there are so many balloons, they pushed up the parade to 8:45. how long have you been waiting? >> 45-minutes. >> that's not bad.

>> where are you from? >> i am from this block, new york city. >> reporter: i have met a lot of people from new york city coming outside in their bath robes practically. >> we are from northwest arkansas. >> arkansas! that's exciting. >> is this your first time? >> my second time. >> reporter: how are you feeling? >> it's incredible. the weather is perfect. we came down last night and saw the actual balloons and i had no idea how huge they were but it was incredible. >> reporter: which balloon are you most excited to see float? >> i any -- i think i like the new bluey. >> you're getting the best parade yet! you can see people coming from all over the world in some cases because they just bring the

inflations to the parade and to the christmas tree lighting. you know how it goes in new york city, it's the start of the holiday season and it's very exciting, guys. >> two great assignments. bren at the world cup with the balloons. >> former vice president pence said he will not sit down with the january 6th committee but will he cooperate with the justice department's new request for miss snm. >> and speaking of the world cup, german players posing for a pregame photo with their hands covering their mouths. we'll tell you why. that's straight ahead. nce so you only pay for what you need!

just tell us - what's your why? ♪ well, the justice department wants to hear from former vice president mike pence. this is according to people familiar with the matter. prosecutors reached out to pence's rep hoping to get their testimony in their criminal probe of trump's attempts to stay in power after the election. pence has indicated he is open to talk about that, possibly giving testimony. maggie, good to see you. pence has always called the january 6th committee partisan, even though there are those two republicans on it and he does

seem to be staying open to talking to the committee. do you think he will? >> i think he's more receptive to the d.o.j. because he recognizes there's a different between a criminal investigation by the justice department and this house select committee. whether there will be something that happens remains to be seen. we're a long ways away from that. we don't remember whether if there's an agreement to testify f former president trump claims executive privilege. >> good morning. happy thanksgiving. >> he announced last week -- >> he did not announce. >> i'm talking about the former president. all of these investigations, mike pence possibly testifying,

yada, yada, yada, what does all this do for trump? does it matter? >> i think it depends, don, on what mike pence would say but mike pence is a key witness who is one of the only people who would speak to events in the leadup to january 6th. this would create such an unprecedented situation, a former vice president and potential candidate, potentially testifying or being interviewed against a former president who is a candidate, all of this being investigated by a justice department in an administration with a sitting president who is likely to run again. so we are just uncharted territory. >> can we talk about alaska and sara palin? what happened to the darling of

the party? she's lost twice. >> alaska is a strange state. cup get crossover votes with democrats and independents. it's an unusual situation. but look, i think sarah palin had a moment in time. i think she helped usher this new party and i think donald trump inherited some of what she brought in but at a certain point you actually have to win elections and to keep saying you're going to win and you're strong and your brand of politics is strong and to not win is going to raise a lot of questions. that's the same questions the former president is going to face. >> this is someone who trump vehemently campaigned against. she voted to convict him during the second impeachment trial and voted against a number of keefe things in his presidency. but what i thought was interesting about murkowski

winning is this sort of coalition that she built across the aisle in alaska. >> i think that murkowski is a well liked poll sigitician in t state, that she's seen as delivering to are that state. and in d.c., even though we're not in d.c. but we cover d.c. and i think folks that are in d.c. and around it tend to be more removed from the delivery of services of government. she's seen as being effective at that generally speaking and that wt lets you win in senate races often is what lets you win in governors' races and it's how you behave in connection with the services people want. i think that brand is based on something substantive. >> again, i keep going to what it portends for the future, right, because we have the mid terms behind us and you have

someone like senator murkowski who is -- i guess you could say she is moderate. i wonder if the republican party is actually listening to the voters because you have kevin mccarthy out there saying we're going to do these investigations, you have hunter biden, you have all of these things. not to say that investigations shouldn't happen but are they in tune with where the american people stand right now and what they're interested in, what's important to them? >> i think that kevin mccarthy is going to get squeezed on to engage in a lot of these investigations whether he wants to or not. whether that is where the public is i think is an open question. i think we have certainly seen in previous, you know, years and in previous congresses when congress is perceived as overreaching on certain investigations and whether they get too personal. i do think there is an appetite among the pretty wide cross section of republicans in the house for activity and

investigations related to biden. i'm not sure how wide the appetite is for investigations related to investigating the work that's been done already by the house select committee on january 6th. that's another question mccarthy is getting pressured on by some corners of the house republican group. and so, you know, i think it's a huge open question but because republicans did not get this overwhelming win in the mid terms, i do think that they are going to face questions about what kind of mandate they are taking the gavel with. >> important question, maggie and this behind the scenes here. either you're an all--in thanksgiving everything or you're going to go to the chinese restaurant so where do you stand with this? >> i am cooking a lot. >> see, she does it all. she does it all. >> it's an unexpected situation but i'm cooking everything. >> wow. so bring us some samples tomorrow. we would luke some leftovers and

arabia beat one of the favorites, argentina in one of the biggest upsets in history. for the match, german players closed with their photo with their hands covering their mouths, as there were sanctions threatened for those wearing a rainbow band. and joining us is brianna scurry. she was the goalkeeper for the legendary 1999 team. and she is an author. we're so happy to have you on this morning. happy thanksgiving to you. >> happy thanksgiving. thank you. so listen, it's a lot of ups, a lot of downs, a lot of upsets and a lot of controversy quite

frankly, a lot of attention being paid this time around to the world cup. what do you make of this? have you ever seen this much attention paid, especially to social issues? >> not this much but the world cup always has some kind of drama surrounding it. it's interesting to me that fifa chose qatar as the host country and when you choose a country, you choose the consequences. qatar has laws on the books against homosexuals. it's illegal. punishable up to three years in prison. when you know that going in, you're bound to have some classes and sop disrme disrupti the football. >> and because all of these players are speaking out. we can show the german team covering their mouths yesterday, they said human rights are nonnegotiable, that brings these

issues -- i don't think many people around the world knew exactly what the laws were in qatar on this and now they do. how impactful have these protests been? >> they've been incredibly impactful. i foal also, like you said, it back fired. the effort to say in the media that it enclousive and then stopping people who are warring and it's a contradiction and hypocrisy to what you say and what you're actually doing. i think doing that has brought to light way more attention than wearing a rainbow arm band would have brought. i think it back fired and i'm glad these players are stepping up and being allies to the gay community. >> we saw the german team there. would you like to see more solidarity in the terms of human

rights? >> i would. and independent sure the guys have something in mind. but is to understand the gravity of the moment. i think they do. this stage is the biggest stage there is, not only to put on a great performance but represent all americans really well in the game against england. >> let's talk about that game. you have some advice about going in as the underdog and also you've got your very close eyin ghana. >> i do, i do. for the usa-england game, it's not all or nothing but at least a point. so they got to go in there. they know they're not favored because of the first two games, england absolutely dominated iran the other day and they look fantastic. it going to be interesting because there's no pressure really on the outside world on the usa only pressure they put on themselves. if they come and put two

halvings together, i think they can get a point and call a great upset. >> i think everybody can kind of throw their scorecards out. all of these upsets -- >> some upsets. what is this? >> guys, upsets are somewhat common in soccer. not just because it a world cup but also because if you look at those two games with argentina and saudi arabia and yesterday with and the other team either got lucky or they got a break or somebody made a great play in a great moment. so if you don't put the game to bed early when you have so many chances, upsets usually tend to bite you. >> i'm actually going to try to watch. i've never watched world cup. am i a terrible human? and independent going to watch

tomorrow. all the crew in here is so disappointed with me. >> and yet you criticize me for not being a fan of mac and cheese. that is unamerican. >> i will be watching. have a great, great thanksgiving. and congratulations on the book. >> thank you. >> really, congrats. >> violent clashes, we showed you them yesterday erupting at the world's biggest iphone factory in china. workers and police we'll take you live to china next.

factory in china protests. >> these workers, they've been angry about wages. they're angry about dirty living conditions and quads of riot police rolled and one group is beating workers with batons. and another video shows them tearing down the barriers and throwing them towards police. and a group of workers are working together to push over a police car. that your cheering and chanting as they push the car over. and they are trying to calm things down. they are offering to pay them the equivalent of $1,400 u.s. dollars to quick and leave the

factory. that puts even more pressure on apple. they need those workers ahead of the holiday season. they've announced that the covid lockdowns in china are impacting shipments and making them more delayed. this is where it's estimated more than half of the world's iphones are produced. >> apple is quite reliant on that factory. i know you spoke to an employee at the protest. i wonder what they told you. >> foxcon is the most critical supplier for apple. this worker told us that scenes at the protest turned into a river of blood with police ruthlessly hitting workers. he also explained the payment issue here. weeks ago there was a mass exodus of workers from the foxxconout break. people literally watched miles to try and tract more people,

promising higher pay, better bonuses. but the worker said when the new workers got to the plant, the pay plan was much worse than advertised and they felt cheated. they are blaming the payment issue on a, quote, technical error. poppy, this is an unusual rare public display of dissent but we have seen more violent clashes break out during thecy cities, still in the third year of the pan dem uk. >> selena, thanks for following this for us. coming up, i sat down with n bp a legend -- i mean, we have shaq shaq, his greatness. i talked to him about his
