good wednesday morning. i'm erica hill. >> i'm jim sciutto. tornado warnings in effect for parts of the southwest. this after severe storms yesterday. more than a dozen tornados reported tearing across the south. look at these pictures here. homes, buildings disappearing. we'll speak with the mayor of deerpark, texas. new this morning, germany will send those leopard 2 tanks to ukraine and it comes as the u.s. is sending abram tanks to ukraine. bottom line, is it enough? we begin with those

destructive tornados slamming parts of texas and louisiana. rosa flores is in pasadena, texas, with more. rosa? >> reporter: this tornado activity was so powerful. let me show you what we're seeing on the ground. this was a power pole that simply snapped. if you look down, you'll see a mangled piece of metal wrapped around parts of the debris and the rest of the pole is back here. beyond the pole you see it's shear devastation. there's a trailer that's turned on its side. it's upside down. there's another one turned on its side. there's a destroyed car. if you walk this way, you'll see some of these buildings, all you see is the insulation ripped out. now this is a gym. we've been talking about this gym because there were four people inside at the time of the

tornado. you can see what's left. the individuals described the intense moments when they were hearing loud noises. you can see the metal is completely mangled. the roof is completely collapsed. these people were inside the building and they described the chaos and horror. take a listen. >> we were right here. the overhead door was right here. you can see where it's at. i was shutting that. we ran into the restrooms right here. that's when everything just come down. all the beams, everything come down on top of us. >> we don't even know where that trailer came from, by the way. >> reporter: now, as you can see also, we're on the other side of this gym. you can see that a lot of the gym equipment was just moved around, flashed around and also the building just collapsing on top of this. now the owner of this gym says

that those four people that were inside, they actually went inside a bathroom. that's how they protected themselves. imagine, jim and erica, when they finally came out and saw all of this, what they were saying is, yes, this is a lot of destroyed property, but they were counting their blessings because they're alive. >> try to find the strongest room in the building or home. that's often the bathroom. rosa flores, that's so much. with us now on the phone is the mayor of deerpark, texas. thank you for taking the time this morning. >> yes. good to be with you guys. >> you've lived in deerpark since 1985. have you ever seen anything like that there? >> no, i have not. one of the comments my wife made

to me is in all her years living here, she's never seen anything like this. >> the destruction is remarkable and hearing what people lived there. how is deerpark doing this morning. what types of destruction did your city suffer? >> obviously we're still assessing things as the sun come up this morning. we've got public works crews still clearing the street. there's a lot of downed power poles. center point is coming in now to try to get power destroyed. most of deerpark is without power. we're all operating well on generators. we're taking one step at a time assessing things. we have a massive amount of work to see how bad it is. from the time it hit yesterday evening around 2:49, it was an

emergency response of dealing with the evacuation of the senior assist facility and making sure no one was injured. fortunately there were no injuries or casualties. we feel tremendously blessed and thank god he kept his hands on us. >> you said earlier there were no deaths or injuries you were aware of so far. you're still assessing that to be sure. if that remains true, you must be counting your lucky stars this morning. >> yes, no question. to the best of our ability and the reports i've got just a few minutes ago, we've had no confirmed casualties at all and the injuries are very, very minor. just scratches and stuff like that. a lot of cleanup, people are assessing their properties and trying to get power restored is going to be a big deal for the next 24 hours. >> mayor, appreciate you taking

the time to join us. >> an unfortunate scenario, but it was great to be with you guy. >> best of luck as you continue the assessment. this just in, the white house announced that president biden will speak at noon today about ongoing u.s. support for ukraine and its war against russia. we have new cnn reporting the u.s. is finalizing plans to send approximately 30 u.s. abrams tanks to ukraine. also, germany announcing it will send tanks to ukraine. these are tanks that president volodymyr zelenskyy has been pleading for. the announcement comes after weeks of negotiations and diplomatic pressure, a lot of public pressure. the german federal government announcing it will bolster its military support by delivering 14 leopard 2 tanks. warren lieberman joining us and

nick robertson live in london. warren, first to you. germany's announcement, the u.s. decision, is there a sense that germany is factoring in what other nations are pledging in that decision? >> reporter: we have heard officials say germany is a sovereign country that will make its own decisions. last week germany stated it wouldn't send its own leopard 2 tanks until the u.s. announced its own decision. despite a u.s. pressure campaign to get germany to give that approve, it's playing out with the same timing, a german announcement and in just a couple hours announcement from the u.s. that it will send abrams tanks. the finding can't be ignored, especially on top of president zelenskyy asking for tanks for months. it's a different question as to when these will arrive.

poland and finland said they're ready to go to send leopard 2 tanks. a question for when will the u.s.-made tanks arrive, we hope to learn more about that. it may take much longer. first ukraine has to train on a number of new systems and that's going to include leopard 2 tanks. there's the patriots, the uk tanks and other systems they still have to learn. in terms of when we might see u.s. tanks in ukrainian hands on the battlefield, it's still months away. we'll learn more in the coming days. >> nick, this echoed some other debates about tanks and you have some disagreement and then some coming together here. is your view this is mostly about a show of unity as opposed to a sense that these tanks will actually change the course of the battle there?

>> it's key to send a signal of unity to moscow, not only in support of ukraine, but to president putin so he knows whatever he's planning for spring, the concern is a spring offensive, some of these tanks if they arrive in time may be useful. they have plenty of other uses on the battlefield like trying to push troops further and crush russian lines. the sense is that putin needs to understand and given the reaction from his ambassador in germany, russia is getting the picture that there's no limits to what nato partners will provide ukraine. the number of tanks ukraine wanted, about 300, it's unlikely to get that at least in this first push. the numbers we're hearing in europe and the abrams is maximum

maybe about 100 tanks. the germans said they want to send two battalions and they said they'll coordinate with partners to do it. it's really been a big german decision here and the chancellor was at pains today to spell out how it's been done step by step in conjunction with allies and partners so as not to project russia as a principle protagonist. >> nick robertson, good points. warren lieberman, thanks so much. coming up next, both president trump and president biden seize on the news that vice president means also had classified documents at his home. what does it mean? we'll be watching. plus, disturbing new details about the suspect in the mass

white house? >> i did not. >> when the current president of the united states is found to have had classified documents in his possession after leaving office, i think it -- i have no words right now. it's just incredibly frustrating to me. >> our staff reviewed all of the materials in our office and in our residence to ensure that there were no classified materials. >> what did those reviews miss? with us now paula reid. do we know how these classified materials made it to pence's home? >> according to jaour correspondent there were four box that is travelled from the residence to a temporary home in virginia and made their way to indiana.

they were not in a secured storage area. the former vice president's attorney said he was not aware of these classified materials and he pledged complete cooperation. we don't know what these documents were or the level of classi classification. the justice department is reviewing this matter. that's what they did when classified documents were found at president biden's home. >> the former vice president said they checked office and residence and didn't find any. >> so, the big question for a lot of people based on what we've seen, any sense that a special counsel would be appointed here, paula? >> it's possible, erica. it appears this was inadvertent. they did searches of a home and office following the disclosures about the classified documents found at the home of president biden. they've been cooperating so far.

there are factors related to president biden's situation and former president trump's that make this different. the question is who would be the special counsel. they're reviewing that right now and they'll make the decision. >> at some point the special counsel not that special anymore. >> may be on that road. paula, thank you. joining us now white house bureau chief for "the washington post." as we look at how things stand, i was having the conversation before we knew about the pence documents, i wonder if the former presidents are looking to see if they have anything at home. we know representatives for former presidents clinton, bush and obama say they turned over

classified documents and they have no plans to conduct additional searches. i'm curious, if you were an attorney working with any of the former presidents, would you advise them to do a search just to be sure given where things are going? >> well, i'm glad to be with all of you. i would advised them to do a search when they left office. we're now letting the tail wag the dog a little bit. the time to check when you're packing boxes is actually when you're doing it, when you're leaving. the reality is that people in these positions, the president, vice president, certain members of congress, they need access to classified documents and they're not able to review them like some members of congress who just rundown the hall and take a look. it's a very mobile job they have. they need to see classified documents. we're worried about if we're

going to have a special counsel here and treat this case fairly, what i hope congress is going to focus on is how do we fix it. do we overclassify things? maybe we do. do we need a better way to track documents? i think that's right. hopefully that's the focus. >> michael, just given your legal background, looking backwards given that you have investigations of trump and biden and presumably pence now. for an attorney general this is a legal decision and a political one. with each new discovery, is an indictment for anyone less likely? >> absolutely. i feel like once they found the biden documents it neutralized the trump case. when they found the pence documents, it neutralizes the case against biden. some of them have voluntarily

turned over documents. the former president held on to them like they were trophies. despite repeated requests, there were boxes of documents he kept. those are different cases. when you look at it in the court of law and court of public opinion, there's the need to make it look like the scales of justice are balanced. the discovery of pence i thought was rich. when you go out there like an attack dog, now look what happened in his case. >> let's look at what's happening elsewhere in washington. we see this letter yesterday from house speaker kevin mccarthy making clear he's following through on his promise to make sure that adam schiff and adam swalwell will not be on house intel. he also referenced in that letter integrity and honesty

which raises questions of what you do with people in your own camp like george santos if we're talking about integrity and honesty. does that matter? >> it should matter. when you have a slim 4-vote majority in your office, it's going to be difficult for kevin mccarthy to hold a similar standard for democrats and republicans. he's going to be accused repeatedly of hypocrisy when we calls out democrats and president biden when he calls out his handling of classified d docu documents, but doesn't call out president trump. when he ignores things with people like george santos and marjorie taylor greene and has put them on high profile committees when they have spots on their records as well. i expect kevin mccarthy to navigate the political situation he finds himself in just by

attacking democrats and taking on the incoming and the accusations of hypocrisy and moving forward with trying to appease his caucus and the republicans within his group as well. >> wouldn't be the first sighting of political hypocrisy. has it cleared up the possibility of a biden announcement for 2024? that had been the plan, the talk as we came into the year. then the classified thing raised lots of questions about that. has it brought that back into the near term? >> i do still expect president biden to announce his re-election. we're not expecting it to happen before a state of the union which will take place in a couple weeks. biden said he's all systems go when it comes to running for re-election. he believes he's the person for the moment. he's been touting his accomplishments from the first two years. i expect his re-election to be about talking about what he did in the first two years of his

term. we're not expecting much legislation for the next couple years. he'll spend a lot of times implementing those laws and what he's been able to do in the first two years. seems like he's gearing up for re-election and the classified documents won't affect that. >> thank you all so much. just ahead, chilling details about a deadly shooting at a gas station in washington state. the gunman killing three people in cold blood and then asking a stranger to borrow her phone. what she overheard that prompted her to call 911. it's back. for a limited time.. ththe six dollar rooty tooty fresh 'n fruity combo. 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, and 2 fruit topped pancakes. only from ihop. ♪ ♪ wow, we're crunching tons of polygons here! what's going on? where's regina? hi, i'm ladonna. i invest in invesco qqq,

the suspect in a shooting rampage in washington state is dead after taking his own life. police say the man who allegedly shot three people at a gas station yesterday shot himself before officers reached him. >> the police chief said they tracked him down after he asked a woman to borrow his cell phone to call his mother. that witness said he heard him said, quote, i killed those people. do we know more about the call between the suspect and his mother? >> these harrowing details emerging yesterday from the police chief's press conference following the overnight homicides yesterday. we knew that police and a s.w.a.t. team went to a home where they thought the suspect was, jared haddock.

he was seen near some warehouses where he borrowed a woman's phone. he called his mother and she overheard him saying he killed these people and was going to kill himself. the woman then called police and he was later found near a marijuana store. police say they responded to the scene within minutes. they heard a gunshot. they didn't see what happened. when they came upon him, he had apparently taken his own life. officials tried to save him, but he was pronounced dead. we still have no motive and three people dead in what the police chief described as random shootings. >> what we saw on the video, there was no interaction between him and the people. they were just sitting there getting food and got surprised

by this person who came in and literally as he was opening the door started shooting these people. then, after shooting both of them -- remember he was not masked up. he did nothing to conceal his identity. he walked up and shot somebody else in the car. walked across the street and shot his own car a lot of times and drove away. >> let's go through the logistics of the homicides. police got a call around 3:30 a.m. about gunshots being fired at this gas station. they believed the suspect pulled into an arco gas station. he headed over to the circle k. as he walks in, he shoots two people getting food. walks out and shoots another person. goes back to his car. he shoots the car because he had to get into it. he apparently didn't have his

keys, and then drove away. the suspect now deceased. jim and erica? >> lucy, appreciate the update. the man suspected of killing seven people in half moon bay, california, is set the appear in court. we're learning new details about his violent past. police say 66-year-old chun zhou targeted victims at two mushroom farms. the farm workers were killed with purpose, intent, excuse style. >> according to court records, this was not the first time he had been accused of violence against someone he worked with. here with us now is ed davis. according to this police report, the suspect was accused of trying to suffocate and threatening to murder a former

co-worker nearly a decade ago. in the wake of shootings like this folks talk about red flag laws as the solution or a major solution. based on the red flag laws in place, would they have prevented someone like this from buying a firearm? >> well, the red flag laws are really focussed on incidents that occurring in a timely fashion, triggering events. there are 17 states that have these laws. basically it allows for police or other people to report someone to say someone has a gun and the police should remove the gun from their possession. what happened in the history of someone would be looked at upon judicial review of a red flag warning. there was no reason to trigger the red flag laws in this particular case. whenever there's a background check on someone applying for a weapon, a crime of violence, even if it happened nine years ago, would certainly or should certainly be considered.

>> in terms of background checks, in massachusetts and california, they do require a background check before legally purchasing a firearm. >> you mentioned that would pop up. as we all grapple with the reality of gun violence in this country, there's so many questions about what could potentially change. would an annual renewal process or an annual background check help in any way? >> these are the pragmatic, common sense solutions to some of these problems we're seeing, that people have been talking about for a long time. we just can't seem to get to that point. doing yearly reviews is a great idea. having a method of evaluating someone who has been showing psychological problems or bizarre behavior and using a tool to assess them and determine whether or not they should either have a weapon or

have their weapons confiscated or be monitored in some way, those are all valid responses we're seeing to these rash of horrible incidents. it's really hard to get them into the law. the tools aren't there right now. >> one weakness in the laws is who it put is the onus on. in some cases the families have to report this. the owner from years ago would have to stay on top of this or you have to have systems in place where these things would come up. you're a long-time cop. what would help you do your job and make a difference? >> some type of database that looks at psychological problems and the cross over between people applying for guns, trying to buy ammunition online, exhibiting bizarre behavior and allowing -- i know this is

controversial, but getting the police involved so they can talk to somebody or getting a psychologist involved so they can talk to somebody. intervention needs to happen. we have systems available. why we're not using them is confusing to me. >> ed davis, always appreciate your insight. thank you. >> thank you both. this afternoon parents and teachers will return to that virginia elementary school for the first time since a 6-year-old shot a teacher. the school is set to temporarily open its doors. it will allow parents to visit before the official re-opening monday which will be nearly a month after that shooting. >> a 6-year-old with a gun. the school board is expected to hold a special session today to vote on whether to oust the superintendent following outcry from outraged parents. later we'll hear from the attorney of abby zwerner, the

business. google said that will hurt the customer. joining us now is christine romans. how did we get to this point? >> the doj has said this is a crescendo of dominance in this industry and its practices are a monopoly. let's listen to merrick garland, the attorney general, when he announced this. >> for 15 years google has pursued a court of anti-competitive conduct that allowed it to halt the rise of rival technologies, manipulate auction mechanics to insulate itself from competition and force publishers to use its tools. >> it's been wildly profitable. this is the big player in this arena. it generated $209 billion in advertising revenue in 2021. that's almost twice the next player which is facebook and the

government goes on to lay out how google controls the digital tool that nearly every website publisher uses. it controls the advertiser tool, the advertiser ad revenue and controls the ad exchange. it has a big flow chart showing how google has its hands on the entire process and it's an anti-competitive environment. google responded saying it's the government trying to pick withinwi winners and losers. the government is trying to make it harder for small businesses to grow. that's the google's response to the doj. >> so trouble here is that the federal government itself has used google for advertising. from a legal standpoint, does that help google's case? >> i'm not sure about the legal standpoint, but it's an anecdote

the government is using in its case against google. it points out for years the army is a multiple government advertiser that uses google tools and has spent $100 million buying google ads. it says the tax payer is a customer here and we speak on behalf the government and the american tax payer because we advertise using google. >> not help for google. helpful for the government to say you guys are victims here too. >> depends how you lawyer it. >> doesn't it always? a lot of lawyers will be very busy on this one. super interesting. three candidates are gearing up for a fierce fight to lead the republican national committee. for the first time in more than a decade the vote may go to multiple ballots. >> that sounds familiar. the rnc meetings begin today.

ronna mcdaniel being challenged by my pillow ceo mike lyindell. are any of the challenging candidates going anywhere? >> it's really between two candidates here. no one is taking mike lindell seriously. this puts the fractures of the republican party in full view. whether or not mcdaniels is trouble, it seems no. 100 members have public endorsed mcdaniel. this is a secret ballot

election. dillon's people believe there's a possibility they could change people's votes when they're casting their ballot and vote for dillon. it's become an ugly race. there have been accusations hurl l hurled. it's gotten more nasty. mcdaniel says she's in the best position to unite the party. as with everything in the republican party, donald trump is looming. that's not endorsed either candidate. it's no secret he's close to mcdaniel. however, dillon is one of his attorneys helped to deal with the january 6th committee. there's a lot of factors at play. >> interesting. kristen holmes, thanks so much. something we'll keep watching closely. still to come, what happened in the moments leading up to that traumatic snow plow accident that crushed actor
