1:03 am
we cannot allow this to continue to happen again. >> police released this photo of the suspect a few hours after the shooting. a man matching the description was noticed a short time later and the man pulled out a gun and fatally shot himself. university police say early warning system saved lives. >> we do have a robust and comprehensive safety plan on campus. like the chief said, we have a lot of buildings and every building is built differently, constructed differently. but we have assessed and we continue to assess our security features within those buildings. in this instance today, we relied very heavily on our notification systems. we know that during an incident involving an active shooter, that providing clear instructions to the community in terms of actions to take is very
1:04 am
important. and that is why we pushed the information out very quickly that there was an incident occurring, to shelter in place, to run hide fight. >> eyes on the ground in east lansing helping with the investigation. police say the first 911 call came in at 8:18 a.m. local time. officers were on the scene in minutes. here is what some of the students told our affiliate pl in . >> it is terrifying, really is. we were just listening to the police scanners hoping for the best. >> you never think it will happen until it happens. we all thought we were safe on the second floor of the cafeteria, but we were told to evacuate. it was pretty scary. >> and more on the suspect now from wilx. >> reporter: what we know so far is the suspect is a 43-year-old man, he died from a self inflicted gunshot wound off of
1:05 am
michigan state university's campus, this happened in the city of lansing. police are working to figure out the motive behind this shooting. we are told that the suspect had no affiliation with the university. they have not released the man's name yet but we're hoping over the next few days to get that information. as for the victims, three people are confirmed dead, two shot and killed inside of the academic building and the third fatality happened inside the msu union which is adjacent to burkey hall. there are others in critical condition and we don't know if they were students or affiliated with the university. police are hoping to release more information about the victims this morning. michigan state's campus is going to be closed the next two days, that means there are no classes, no sports, no activities that will be happening. msu is offering counseling services to students, family and faculty. they want to make sure that
1:06 am
everybody goes into this healing process ands that hair resources available to them. police are going to bring us another update at 8 on:00 this morning. we are hoping to receive more information on the suspect, his possible motive and on the victims. of course we'll keep you updated. reporting in east lansing, maureen hallyday. police say the two buildings where the shootings happened were open to the public during business hours. andrew mccabe explains next steps for investigators. >> the fbi and their colleagues are going through the history of this person to try to understand what his motivations were, to try to understand what brought him to this moment in this community at this time. michigan state, this community is struggling to understand why they are the latest in what is a uniquely american experience and understanding and experiencing a mass shooting in their midst.
1:07 am
but it is the job for law enforcement to understand as much as they can about what brought this person to this moment and this mass shooting. >> students were understandably terrified when they heard the shots and got emails telling them to shelter in place. connor anderson says he and his friends were listening to the police scanner to stay safe. >> i was in the cafeteria which is on the second floor, got a text from somebody saying that there had been a shooting. it was on the opposite side of campus though. so basically we were in lockdown and everything was calm and then everyone was listening to police reports and heard that the shooter was getting closer to our location. so still thought we were safe, but we started barricading the doors at some point, we heard there were shots at hubbard. and then the s.w.a.t. and cops came in and they all told us to get out of the cafeteria.
1:08 am
so we all stormed down the stairs and had our hands up walking out. they had us go to the nearest bus stop and as the shots got closer, they had us in the parking fwa thigarage until we waved out by the cops. >> were you hearing shots? >> personally no, but people were. >> that is terrifying, connor. how many kids would you say were in the dining hall at that moment? >> i'd say 200, 300 at least. >> and what a scary situation on every level because then once the police say you have to run out of here, was that chaos? >> it was complete chaos. we had had to get down one staircase and people were getting trampled. we're still waiting to get more information and we'll bring it to you as it happens of course. and there was still a lot of unanswered questions surrounding the three objects shot down over the u.s. and canadian air space. over the weekend, u.s. officials
1:09 am
are sharing the little they know so far. >> in the coming hours the senate will get a classified briefing about the three objects, that is in addition to another classified briefing on china on wednesday. the white house is bringing in former national security adviser john bolton, they will discuss possible spy balloons that flew over the u.s. during the trump presidency. >> oren lieberman has more from the pentagon. >> reporter: more questions than answers after u.s. fighter jets roared into the skies above north america for the third time in as many days with a mission, shoot down something. >> we assessed whether they posed any kinetic threat to people on the ground. they did not. we assessed whether they were sending any communication signals. we detected thundershower. we lo -- none. we looked to see whether they were maneuvering and saw no signs of that. >> reporter: the object shot down 10 miles off the coast of
1:10 am
alaska was a metallic object that broke up into several pieces when it fell to the sea ice from 40,000 feet. the second object shot down over the yukon territory appeared to be a balloon with a metal payload underneath. according to a memo, it crossed near sense receive u.s. sites at 40,000 feet were of it downed. and a third object the shot town over lake huron was described as o octanol object. >> and we have not obtained debris. >> reporter: and this is following the shoot towdown of much larger balloon. radar has been adjusted to be more sensitive and spot and intercept russian bombers are now picking up smaller slower
1:11 am
objects. >> obviously there is some sort of pattern in there, the fact that we are seeing this in a significant degree over the past week is a cause for interest and close attention. >> one of the reasons that we think we're seeing more is because we're looking for more. >> reporter: national security adviser jake sullivan will lead a team on how the u.s. handles unidentified objects that are a safety or security risk. one thing we do know -- >> there is no, again, no indication of aliens or extraterrestrial activity. >> reporter: the pentagon says the latest objects at any time pose any trektdirect threat to e on the ground, but even allies of joe biden worry about the silence from the commander in chief. >> we have been i think as transparent as we can be. i won't speak for the president's personal speaking schedule, but he has been deeply
1:12 am
engaged in every one of these decisions. >> reporter: as for the ongoing recovery efforts for the balloon off the coast of south carolina, the chinese surveillance balloon, a defense official says a, quote, significant portion of that balloon has been recovered. a salvage investigational has been on the scene since friday. but divers vice president been able to work every day because of the conditions of the water there, rough seas essentially, but they have been able to recover again a significant portion and that includes the structure and some of the electronics that will be analyzed by the fbi. oren lieberman, cnn, the pentagon. bureau of labor statistics will release a key gauge of inflation today. the consumer price index that shows how many american households are paying for a mix of goods and services. they predict up 6.2% and that will be further evidence that the pace of inflation is slowing. let's see how all of that as the key themes today is feeding into the u.s. futures. mixed as you'd expect.
1:13 am
this week a judge in georgia is expect to release parts of a grand jury report which focuses on efforts by donald trump and high school allies to overturn the 2020 election and it is expected to include an introduction and conclusion to the panel's findings and will describe concerns that they had about possible perjury. sara murray has this. >> reporter: a judge in georgia says parts of a special fwrand jury report that looks at efforts by donald trump and his allies to overturn the election in georgia can be made public later on this week. but only parts. the judge said the special grand jury that has been looking in to efforts by the former president and his allies trying to determine if any crimes were committed, most of that will stay underwraps including whether the special grand jury recommended that anyone should face charges as part of the investigation. but the judge says that the into tuks and the conclusion and another potentially important section of the report can be made important, a section about whether any witnesses potentially perjured themselves
1:14 am
when they came before the special grand jury. the judge wrote that the special purpose grand jury discusses concern that some witnesses may have lied under oath during their testimony because the grand swjury does not i'd thoug t -- identify witnesses, it can't be disclosed. a number of people who went before the grand jury are not allowed to have their lawyers with them in the grand jury. he mentioned that there could be people named who never appeared before the grand jury, former president trump would be an example of one of those. and either way the ruling is making fani willis, the district attorney, pretty pleased. she has no plans to appeal this decision. she said last month that her decision on whether or not she would bring charges on anyone are imminent. sara murray, cnn, washington. and the secretary-general says ukraine must get the weapons it needs to win the war. >> and that from jens
1:15 am
stoltenberg as he gathers with his counterparts from nato for a meeting in brussels. at this hour the ukraine defense contact group meeting, these are live pictures for you, the u.s. secretary of defense there at the center of that image. nic robertson is following those doechts for us from warsaw with the latest. >> reporter: we're expecting the polish defense minister to be there. they have had a hawkish line pushing the nato allies and partners to provide leopard 2 tanks. of course that is now in process. training here in poland began about a week ago, they are accelerating the training for 105 ukrainian soldiers, 21 different tank crews are being trained on the leopard 2s. and the defense minister outlining a proposal that he will be announcing here today. there are of course a number of
1:16 am
different leopard 2 tanks being provided from across nato's allies and partners and little surprise, some different versions to others. poland is providing something called version 4. what poland will be suggesting is that they lead the way in the training for bringing together a brigade of the version 4, there will be a break gad brigade bef the version 6 potentially led by germany. but i think that we'll hear the continuing quest to get fighter jets. no country is ruling that out completely, but it does seem to be sort of slow in the process at the moment. the tanks of course went through a similar slow process to get authorized to be give to ukraine. but what jens stoltenberg has been talking about is perhaps the underlying issue here, it is a war of attrition, russia has huge resources, it is expending
1:17 am
those resources in terms of ammunition, men, material. what nato isn't doing so far is providing ukraine with enough ammunition to sustain it in the long term in the fight. ukraine is using more than nato allies and supporters are actually providing. actually manufacturing. and so there is a step change required. we've heard this discussed before but we're new getting into that long term strategic planning and the secretary-general pushing to speed up and increase production. >> nic robertson, thank you. we'll be following the developments out of that meeting. and new zealand is under a state of emergency for only the third time in its history. relentless wind, rain and waves are battering the north island. the declaration enables the government to provide additional resources. meteorologists predict gale-force winds impacting the

eight days after a powerful earthquake leveled parts of turkey and syria and left at least 36,000 people tdead, resce efforts are coming to a close. emergency crews are set to focus to getting more help to the victims who survived. >> they will open two additional border crossings to deliver aid to the rebel-held northwest. >> and this is after a meeting
1:23 am
with president bashar al assad to discuss relief efforts. it will help move aid to area as veerly hit. >> i've been hearing stories here in allepo that chill you with what happened on those early hours of that terrible day. what is the most striking here is even in allepo which has suffered so much these many years, this moment, that moment, a week or more ago, was about the worst that these people have experienced. >> and today emergency crews found two more survivors in turkey and carried them out of the rubble. en would is a teenager reportedly located when the search team heard his voice under the debris. nad ta bashir is joining us fro istanbul. eight days on in stark contrast to the untold devastation and
1:24 am
tragedy of these earthquakes, there are these miraculous stories still. >> reporter: and we have search and rescue still working around the clock in southeast turkey hoping to find survivors. some teams saying in the early hours of tuesday that they are still hearing voices, that there is still hope that survivors are still there buried beneath the rubble. as you mentioned, we've already seen rescues taking place. survivors being pulled out. the story of a 10-year-old girl who was rescued from beneath the rubble in the early hours of tuesday morning more than a week on since the earthquake struck ought s southeastern turkey. of course the window for finding survivors is closing very quickly. and that has been the warning of course in turkey. in northwest syria the white helmets have said now for days that they are no longer holding
1:25 am
out hope of finding survivors and they have declared a week of mourning, flags are flying at half-mast. and they say it is now a recovery effort and that will soon be the case here in turkey. but we're still seeing search and rescue teams from across the globe flying into take a part in that effort. a team from australia is coming in with specialist equipment to support the search and rescue. but as it shifts to recovery, there is a sense of urgency and focus on the humanitarian aid program offering assistance to those impacted by the earthquake, thousands and thousands of people now left homeless as a result of this earthquake. and we were visiting an aid donation distribution center in istanbul, one of two key hubs in this city that has already sent more than 200 trucks full of aid, and they say that they have around 20,000 volunteers working
1:26 am
around the clock to sort through these donations. but the message from the coordinators there is that they simply need more. this is not enough. they need more support from the turkish government and more support from the international community. they do not want to be forgotten. but it has to be said that the aid coming into turkey is far more robust than what we have seen in northwest syria. and as you mentioned, there have been calls for more crossings to be opened, the u.n. has agreed with president assad to open two more crossings into rebel-held territories. and we've seen a significant amount of aid being thrown into damascus, but there is a question of cross-line transfers. that has not happened yet though the syrian government claims that it is open to it happening and that will be a key focus over the coming days. for now though, the message from the white helmets and volunteers in northwest syria is that this is simply too little too late.
1:27 am
>> nada bashir, thank you. and high wind alerts have been issued by the national weather service for much of southern and eastern united states. it is impacting as manying a 18 million people across the country. alerts come as we're monitoring two winter storm systems impacting parts of the western u.s. and derek van dam has the details. >> heat rotwo separate storm sy will impact the country from west to east, many locations feeling the impact. i'll try to differentiate between the two because they are two completely different storms. there is the first low pressure kind of trucking through the four corners regions, a lot of snow throughout the area. and that will move towards the upper midwest through the next 24 hours bringing a rain/snow mix depending on where you are located. the other associated cold front entering the equation across the pacific northwest. this is the secondary storm that is a little bit more powerful
1:28 am
and will bring us a chance of severe weather across midsection come middle to second half of the workweek. and you can kind of separate the two storm is systems with our winter weather alerts. the first storm again moving through the four corners, it has its eyes set on the upper midwest, that is where we have winter storm watches in place. the secondary storm system, more powerful storm moving across the pacific northwest bringing snowfall from billings to portland. a lot of energy associated with these two separate systems. we have over 70 million americans with high wind alerts, this includes class dallas all y to los angeles. and a lot of rain too. on the warm side of the storm, showers are possible from chicago through st. louis. there is the snow on the cold side of the first storm. and then the snow piles up once again across the colorado rockies and throughout the pacific northwest. you can see the first kind of storm moving through and then our secondary more powerful storm system that will interact
1:29 am
with warm humid air. and we know what happens, we get that collision of air masses and the severe weather chances start to go up. we have a slight risk of isolated tornado activity, damaging winds, large hail memphis to shreveport for wednesday, but on thursday, several tornadoes according to the storm prediction center where you see the shading of yellow, that includes the gulf coast to the ohio river valley as the arctic blast settles in. short lived, but you will feel it in places like chicago, new york as well as detroit. newly released data is providing insight into the mental health challenges that teens in the u.s. have been facing since the start of the covid-19 pandemic. the survey by the centers for disease control and prevention collected responses in the fall of 2021. and it found that more than 40% of high school students said that feelings of sadness and hopelessness prevented them from engaging in regular activities for at least two weeks of the year. and 57% of teenage girls said
1:30 am
that they felt persistently sad or hopeless and about 29% of teenage boys felt the same. >> horrible research, isn't it. depressing. >> and we're only just starting to get more studies. another new study found that changes to school nutrition standards made in 2010 significantly decreased the body mass index for kids and teenagers. researchers found an overall decrease in bmi in the period following the implementation of the healthy hunger kids act. overall bmi decrease was seen across ages and income levels. previous research showed school-provided meals were linked to childhood obesity. it is interesting the uk government did a study into mental health and the pandemic and they also found that teenage girls were far more affected thanage boys and it did make teens more depressed. >> and the question is whether that will affect them long term

1:35 am
inflicted gunshot. we'll get an update from authorities in a few hours for you. and sorry yria's president reportedly agreed to open additional routes for critical aid to get through to the earthquake victims. more than 36,000 people have been killed and thousands more displaced by the quake that hit syria and turkey. but just today more have been found alive in turkey and search efforts continue. alex murdaugh's trial will resume with more testimony from a pathologist. honest the court released body camera videos from law enforcement officers who arrived the night murdaugh's wife and son were killed in june 2021. randi kaye has more. >> both with gunshot wounds to the head. >> reporter: just before 10:30 p.m. the night maggie and paul murdaugh were murdered.
1:36 am
daniel green was first on the scene. moments after arriving, he spots alex murdaugh. >> sir, i want to let you know because of the scene, i did go get a gun and bring it down here. >> it is in your vehicle ? do you have any guns on you? >> no, it is leaning up against the car. >> reporter: murdaugh appears to be upset but first responders have testified that they never saw any tears. moments after sergeant green arrives, murdaugh offers up his own reasoning as to why someone would kill his family. >> is this a long story. my son was in a boat wreck months back. he's been getting threats, most of it benign stuff we didn't take serious. you know, he's been getting like pun punched. i know that is what it is. >> reporter: a key moment in the body cam footage comes when sergeant green asks murdaugh when he last saw his family. listen closely to his answer.
1:37 am
>> when was the last time you were here with them or talked to them or anything like that? >> um -- it was earlier tonight. i don't know the exact time. >> okay. >> but i left, i was gone probably an hour and a half from my mom's and i saw them about 45 minutes before that. >> reporter: alex says he wasn't home at the time of the murders and hadn't seen his family in hours. but remember, at trial the state revealed evidence of a video recording extracted from paul murdaugh's phone taken just minutes before he and his mom were killed recorded at 8:44 p.m. prosecutors in m and more than halfful of witnesses say that is alex murdaugh's voice on the recording putting him at the murder scene. and we also see for the first time this bizarre exchange between alex and deputy mcdowell who arrives on the scene.
1:38 am
in the middle of talking to sergeant fwreegreen about his w he pauses to greet the deputy. >> maggie dmurdaugh, margaret murdaugh. how you doing? >> i'm okay. >> reporter: alex also asks the deputies several times if his family is dead. >> did you check? >> did i check what 1234. >> did you check them? >> we have medical guys, that is what they will do.1234. >> did you check them? >> we have medical guys, that is what they will do.234. >> did you check them? >> we have medical guys, that is what they will do.34. >> did you check them? >> we have medical guys, that is what they will do.4. >> did you check them? >> we have medical guys, that is what they will do.. >> did you check them? >> we have medical guys, that is what they will do. >> they are dead, aren't they? >> yes, sir, that is what it looks like. >> reporter: on some of the body cam video, alex murdaugh is seen pacing around the property, he is making phone calls including one to one of his brothers. >> yeah, the police are here now. police are here now. >> reporter: in another clip he asks the deputies to get his surviving son buster on the phone. >> can y'all get a police
1:39 am
officer with my oldest son in columbia? i haven't told him yet. got to be you that tell him. >> reporter: pathologist also testified about the autopsy and said that paul was shot twice first in the chest but the second shot the fatal shot was to the shoulder and the head. she also said that there were no sign of any defensive wounds or any sign of a struggle, and that he was facing his attacker as he was shot. so if indeed it was his father as the prosecution alleges, he would have been staring right at him. the pathologist also said maggie murdaugh was shot five times, at least three times while standing, the fatal shots were delivered while she was on the ground including one to the back of the head. randi kaye, cnn, walterboro, south carolina. we're following developments in ukraine where intense fighting is ongoing in the east especially in and arocity of
1:40 am
bakhmut. and scott mclean is here to discuss it. we know russia is trying to encircle ukrainian forces inside bakhmut. and they have made progress from the north and also on the west. what do we know about who is in con control. >> yoe, russians are disputing some of the gains saying that they are still fighting and in control of some of these places but they are not disputing that the russians have cut off many of the supply routes in and out. ukrainians acknowledging that they are within russian striking distance. obviously they are working to try to push the russians back to regain access to some of the main roads but it makes it very difficult for them to get people, supplies, medications all that kind of stuff into that area where you have troops actually fighting house to house at this moment. one of the other issues that surely will come up at this
1:41 am
meeting today in brussels between defense ministers is the fact that they are burning through it faster than they can manufacture it in the west. and part of the issue is that jens stoltenberg says that russians are con tent to use their size advantage and their advantage to equipment and weaponry even where they lack in quality. and an example of that is town in the southern tdonetsk region and it is strategically important because they would have access between crimea and the rest of the donetsk region if they were to capture it. so here is the video that i want to talk about. it is shot from height. this town sits on a bit of a hilltop giving ukrainians access to sort of shoot town on the pl planes which are around it and see the russians coming from
1:42 am
quite a long way.town on the planes which are around it and see the russians coming from quite a long way. so russians have been criticized they have heavily even from their own countries saying you have these narrow columns of tanks and fighting vehicles approaching this town head-on and they have been doing it for months. there was a failed effort back in november that brought a mutiny amongst troops there. and then you have videos like this where you see troops sort of trying to find any kind of cover that they can, but there is just that "national enquirer" row line of trees there. one said it was like shooting turkeys at a shooting range. seems that russians feel like they have troops that are expendable. >> and people talk about russia being able to substitute quality for quantity because if they don't have the technological advancements, they also have the
1:43 am
manpower advantage. scott, thank you so much. philippine foreign ministry has issued a formal protest over the actions of a chinese coast guard ship last week. philippines say the chinese investvessel pointed a military laser at one of its ships temporarily blinding some of the crew. >> and that it trespassed into the waters. but philippines say that it was delivering food and supplies to a grounded transport ship. still ahead, governor desantis says he is fighting the woke agenda but the message could be to gain support for something else.
1:44 am

1:46 am
governor desantis is floating the idea of doing away with advanced placement classes after his administration was
1:47 am
criticized for rejecting ap-african-american course. >> they keeps pushing what he has called an anti woke agenda -- he says they keep pushing an anti woke agenda. jeff zeleny has more. >> florida is where woke goes to die. >> reporter: and for governor desantis, florida is where have had hal aspirations come alive. >> so help me god. >> reporter: six weeks after starting a second term, he is putting the finishing touches on the desantis playbook. >> freedom lives here in our great sunshine state. >> reporter: taking the record to the national stage with one of the loudest voices on conservative policies. a driving force in the latest chapter of the culture wars already shaping the 2024 campaign. >> when other people con strin to the dust spin, florida stood
1:48 am
strongly. >> reporter: and the governor introduced himself as a leading culture warrior, with a growing list of what he calls anti-woke laws and proposals. >> this bill takes three main steps. >> reporter: like the parental rights act which krirt ticks say it is the don't say gay bill. under his watch, transgender children in florida can no longer access certain treatments and they have eliminated state funding for lgbtq mental health programs. he has also called for bans on mandates for covid-19 vaccines and masks. used state funds to expand a controversial migrant relocation program, and is locked in a battle over advanced african-american studies course that he says goes against state law for how race can be taught in florida classroom. >> why don't we just do and teach the things that matter, why is it always someone has to try to jam their agenda down our
1:49 am
throats? >> reporter: he spends his time signing laws passed by the florida legislature rather than sounding off on social media like his one time supporter and now rival former president trump who now mocks desantis with a nickname. >> ron desanctimonious. >> reporter: the governor is releasing a new book "the courage to be free free" and se out on tour with stops in texas, alabama and beyond. on the floor of the florida senate, one has blasted his ambitions. >> a speech that will be given in iowa in a couple years. >> reporter: and toltsd ud us t his agenda is the backbone of a presidential bid. >> a playbook squarely set toward a national audience because it is not remedying any problems here. >> reporter: desantis is building a national term with plans for an announcement in late may or early june.
1:50 am
