i'm scared. for my family. i'm scared for my town. i grew up here. >> we went to the creeks and there are crews with black and white hoses all over the creeks. they're not telling us why. the this is daily. i'm driving my children to school and pass this and they're asking me questions that i don't have answers to. >> and they need the answers. so many, many questions. good morning, everyone. anger, fear, and many questions in east palestine ohio. two weeks after a train packed with hazardous chemicals derailed. we're going to do a deep dive into the company behind the bill and one of the dangerous chemical that was onboard there, vinyl chloride. how long will it be a threat? and is it putting residents at risk of cancer. plus, did former president trump break the law when he tried to overturn election results in georgia? we'll find out new details today when the judge leases part of

the grand jury's report. also, the gunman who killed students at michigan state university had a note in his pocket. was he planning to attack more schools? is it. we're going to begin in east palestine, ohio. families demanding to know if it is safe to be in their own homes anymore. it is nearly two weeks since the train loaded with toxic chemicals derailed and burst into a raging inferno. the air smells like burning plastic and they don't know if it is safe to drink the water. >> everybody expects answers and more than what we're getting. >> very heated town hall meeting last night. people demanding more information from officials. [ inaudible ]

>> so here's what we do know right now. the head of the epa is going to east palestine today is set to hold a news conference. when that train derailed, they burned off loads of chemicals to prevent a catastrophic explosion. it created this huge plume of smoke over the town. there are reports of pets getting sick and fish turning up dead in local creeks. the train company norfolk southern was a no show at last night's meeting. in a statement this is what they said. we know that many are rightfully angry and frustrated right now. we have become increasingly concerned about the growing physical threat to our employees, our people will remain in east palestine, respond to this situation and meet with residence. we're not going anywhere. people who live in the area are concerned not only about their health right now, but years from now. and they should be. our bill weir is to explain what

the spilled chaem emical dozen. they want to know what is going on, who is responsible and what effects this will have on their lives and health? >> the immediate disruption is so painful to see. the people are running out of money. they stay in airbnbs. if you think they're angry now, there is only more anger when they have the time and wherewithal to look in the company behind this crash. norfolk southern is a $55 billion rail company. 12, almost $13 billion in in operating revenues last year. and they have a really checkered past. this is in 2005. 14 cars derailed in graniteville, north carolina there. nine people died. 851 people were treated. but in the end, they settled for an epa lawsuit settlement of $4 million in fines mainly because they violated clean water act laws and killed a bunch of fish. they set tled with a lot of

companies. they've been doing cost benefit analysis in the rail companies for a long time. the thing most fascinating to me is the breakes on the train. norfolk southern in particular adopted a new kind business model which meant a lot longer trains, two miles long, a lot fewer people. they laid off tens of thousands in the industry. that train was almost two miles long and we think had conventional air brakes which brakes from the front to the back. so it can take two minutes before the back cars know to stop and they become a slinky from hell slamming into the cars in front. for years now since the early 2000s, there have been electronically controlled brakes. when norfolk southern first tried these because they brake every car all at once, they raved about it. they actually appealed to the transportation officials. you shouldn't have to inspect trains with ecp brakes. they're so effective. but then when president obama tried to make them mandatory after a bunch of derailments in

2014, said let's put them on the cars that have explosive carcinogens, for example. the industry, the railroads, the chemical companies, they fought it hard. they gutted it. the final version is high flammable trains would need brakes by 2023. ironically h in 2018, the trump administration elaine chao was the transportation secretary rolled it back entirely. this will be the sort of topic, i'm sure, of the class action lawsuits that are now being filed. response from norfolk southern so far, $1 million charitable fund, $1.2 million financial aid to families. 100 plus air purifiers and air monitoring services and tests. >> what do you think, bill, i mean you just outlined what seem to be failures on so many levels. really successful lobbying efforts, right? and this decision by the trump administration reverse what the obama administration had wanted.

what can the biden administration do unilaterally now without an act of congress? ? >> that's a good question. people buttigieg was tweeted about the legal restraints of what they can do right now as a result of the trump administration rolling that back. there would probably be a renewed call for this. senator john thune led the charge from republican senators to kind of gut this rule and take it away. it was considered a big victory for the industry. maybe the outrage over this will force a re-examination of that. at least to label these really have it strange. they're rolling through suburbs everywhere all the time. trains can -- trucks can reroute around hazardous materials around centers. trains are stuck to the tracks. really, it's the business model. it incentivizes danger in exchange for profits. >> bill, can you talk to us about what chemicals were in this train? i that i is what everyone is talking about when we talk about the dead fish and symptoms and what don said earlier, the air

smelling like nail polish remover. >> you heard it described as a overchlorinated pool. it is the stuff in the white pipes that you see in american construction. the hidden cost of that is when it breaks down, it breaks down into a chemical that is actually used as a weapon in world war i. it creates a horrible respiratory and skin disruption there. long term, it causes cancer. some of these other ones are irritants as well. but they because the fish kill was immediate and hasn't been seen, it's diluted. the stuff at least in the water is diluted and the wells in that area deep enough it won't be a long term threat to drinking water. but what's in the soil? how that leeches into the air? all that remains to be seen. >> bill weir, thank you sir. >> all right. now move to a cnn exclusive this morning. we have now learned from a source telling me that donald trump's former chief of staff, mark meadows, has been subpoenaed in the special

counsel's investigation into january 6 and the role that trump played that day. i'm told that special counsel jack smith is seeking both testimony and documents from meadows. he got the subpoena back in january. it matters. meadows, as you know, firsthand knowledge of trump 's actions o several fronts. he was in and out of the office on that day. he was on that phone call that happened in december between trump and the georgia secretary of state where trump was pleading with him find him more votes. meadows was also in that bananas december 2020 white house meeting about election fraud claims. he also visited a georgia audit site. he sent e-mails to justice department officials about unsubstantiated fraud claims. his attorney and the justice department did not comment to cnn when we asked. it's unclear how he's going to respond to the subpoena. it will likely set up a clash over executive privilege given he was one of trump's most senior aides.

he got his subpoena before mike pence got his. the former vice president, though, last night he said he is going to fight that one. >> i'm going to fight the doj for me to appear before the grand jury. because i believe it's unconstitutional:and it's unprecedented. i'm aware that president trump is going to bring a claim of executive privilege. and that will be his claim to make. that's his fight. my fight is on the principle of separation of powers and the constitution of the united states. >> you'll notice pence is making that argument in iowa. he is likely to be a 2024 presidential candidate. all of this is coming as we're learning that jack smith, that special counsel, is locked in at least eight secret battles tied to investigations of 2020 election and classified documents. most of the disputes are under seal and outcomes could have far reaching app

reaching implications for trump. the special grand jury report on trump's attempt to overturn election results is going to be released. the recommendations on criminal charges though, are going to still be kept secret. we have a reporter joining us now. what are we going to learn about what they'll reveal today? >> as you said, a lot will stay under wraps. the today we'll get the special grand jury's introduction to the report, the conclusion of their report as well as a section that dug into the grand jury's concern that's some of the witnesses who appeared, who testified before the grand jury may have actually lied in their testimony. now, look, the grand jury has been digging into effort business donald trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election for months and months. this investigation all got started back in january of 2021 when trump called georgia secretary of state, take a listen to part of that phone call. >> so what are we going to do, folks? i only need 11,000 votes. fellows, i need 11,000 votes.

give me a break. you know, we have that in states already. all i want to do is this. the i just want to find 11,780 votes which is one more than we have. because we won the state. the people of georgia are angry. the people of the country are wrong. there is nothing wrong with saying that you reached out. >> but, mr. president, the challenge that you have is that the data you have is wrong. >> so that is the call that this all set this into motion. this is a grand jury that heard from 75 witnesses, heard from people from lindsey graham to trump's former attorney rudy giuliani and many, many others. we're going to get a sense of the tenor of what the grand jury came away with. but we're not going to get the specific recommendations on whether anyone should face charges. if there are names in any of the sections, those are likely to be

redacted today. the judge overseeing this grand jury said he doesn't think it's fair at this point to name people publicly when no one faced charges yet. >> we know that brian kemp spoke with him as well. we'll wait for that report. thank you. later this hour, we'll talk about all of this, what sayer w sarah just laid out there with michael moore. >> one person is dead and three others injured in a mass shooting. that one last night at a mall in el paso, texas. [ gunfire ] >> that is security camera footage people running for their lives and panic as they heard gun shots. an off duty officer was working security and on the scene within minutes and took one suspect into custody. a second suspect was arrested later. police have not revealed a motive for that shooting. the mall is next to that walmart, remember, just a few years ago in el paso where 23 people were shot and killed. that was in 2019.

let me take you to michigan. much there is a very motional vigil last night at michigan state university two days after the deadly mass shooting there. students, staff, and east lansing community gathered to mourn three young lives taken. governor spoke about the painful loss. >> our spartan community is reeling this week and our lives and hearts break for those lives that were shattered by gun violence. we mourn ariel and al as she was known by loved ones and brian who were taken from us far too soon. we think about their families. recalling their last visit home. hurt for their friends who are remembering their last conversation or maybe re-reading text messages. >> we learned new details about the gunman. some insight into possible motive. police say he had a two page note in his pocket that threatened shootings at other places in michigan.

joining us now with his reporting is cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller. good morning to you. incredibly distressing to hear that he had this pretty long list of other places, michigan, new jersey. what did the note detail? >> he starts off -- it's interesting. the note is dated sunday, february 12th, the day before the actual shooting. but it begins with an introduction. hi. my name is anthony mccray. he announces he is the leader of a group of 20 shooters and he says, quote, i will be shooting up msu. >> 20 shooters. will. >> right. >> does he name there? >> there are no 20 shooters. but he does list these locations. and there's a fast food restaurant, an employment agency, there's a warehouse, there's a church. there are a dozen of them. but they're fairly random in that there are not other colleges, they're not related to each other.

and two schools in new jersey near where he grew up. >> right. wow. >> so they believe it was him -- even though he mentioned 20 people doesn't think there are any other accomplices? >> no. but interesting question. they have an obligation that is called duty to warn. if it you're in a threat letter, you know, they have to come and tell you. so they have to go to these dozen places in new jersey and colorado springs. but mostly all over lansing. he says, you know, this team is going to finish off lansing. so they visited these places to say you're in this threat letter. we don't believe there is a threat. we don't believe there are 20 people. but, do you know this guy? what is your connection to anthony mcrae? was he let go from a job here? especially since one of them is an employment agency, asking them to go back through their records. we had talked here the other day about the offender characteristics of the mass shooter. the injustice collector who collects these slights and lets them grow and marinade until

they strike at these targets which are basically unexplained. his letter says, you know, they hated me. they hated me. they hated me. he said they hurt me. i'm told there are pictures of, you know, his crying face that are sketched in different places. so somewhere he feels, you know, wounded by a number of these locations. and they're digging back to trying to figure out what and why. >> john miller, thank you. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. also this morning, investigators are now looking at another close call on an airplane runway. all this happened in less than a month. if you can believe that. this time it was january 23rd in honolulu. a united airlines wide body jet and a smaller plane almost collided. law makes have been grilling the faa chief, acting chief, we should note, there is no permanent one, on wednesday. that comes after last month's computer outage that caused that nationwide halt of all flights.

we're following all this closely from washington. gabe, let's start with this third near collision. it just seems like these are happening more and more frequently these days. what do we know about what happened in honolulu? >> to be clear this is the third close call we know of. there may be others. that is something the faa is looking into. this last one happened on january 23 understood honolulu. i want to walk you through how it played out. flight data shows a united 777 landed ahead of a small cargo plane landing on the next runway over. united flight then turns and that is when the faa tells us the plane crossed that next runway despite being told to wait by air traffic control just ahead of where that cargo plane was landing. now the faa says the two aircraft were a little more than 1100 feet apart. so not nearly as close to colliding as in those other two incidents at jfk and austin. neither plane here had to actually abort takeoff or

landing which they did in those other cases. this is just adding to the list of alarming aviation incidents. it is something that lawmakers really pushed the acting head of the faa to answer for during that senate committee hearing yesterday. take a listen. >> overall, i have a good sense about where we are can i say to the american public that we're safe? the answer is we are. if is the question can we be better? absolutely. that's what we're working on. >> and that's why bill nolen announced a sweeping review of the faa and that includes a couple pieces. there the will be a summit with industry partners and they'll discuss ways to make the aviation industry a little safer. and they're going to look through flight data to see if there are trends here if, there are more incidents happening than we realize. something that i think everyone here is really concerned about. kaitlan? >> yeah.

absolutely see why there is such concern for that. thank you for following that for us. also this morning, new footage showing alec alex murdaugh being asked if he killed his wife and son. and then this -- tensions flaring as a gunman who went on a racially motivated massacre at a grocery store in buffalo is sentenced. what he, more importantly the victims' families had to say. even if you like a house, lowball the first offer. the house whisperer! this house says use the realtor.com app to see three different estimates. also, don't take a advice from people who don't know what they're talking about.. realtor.com to each their home..

welcome back. the double murder trial of alex murdaugh resumes today after a really dramatic day in court. the jury watched a police interview asking him directly if he killed his wife and son. the chief forensic investigator took the stand and is going to be back on the stand today to testify about what he found on the phone of his wife and son. randi kaye joins us again live this morning.

good morning. does this interview of him undermine his alibi during the time of the murders? >> yeah, poppy. it raises a lot of questions about his alibi on the night of the murders. this was his third interview this lead investigator. it took place in august of 2021, a couple months after the murders and from the start you can tell he is already a suspect. here's a look. >> did you kill maggie? >> no. >> did you kill paul? >> no, i did not kill paul. >> this is the first time we hear lead investigator ask alex murdaugh directly if he killed his wife maggie murdaugh and their son paul. >> do you know who did it? >> no. >> he had a lot more questions for him, too, including why he was wearing something different after the murders that he was earlier in the night on this snap chat video pulled from his son's phone.

>> why did you change clothes? >> i don't know. i guess i changed when i got back to the house. >> the prosecution suggested that he showered and changed clothes following the murders. the defense pushed back on that. >> would you expect to find some trace evidence of blood somewhere? in the house? >> there was no trace evidence of blood found in the house, no. >> thank you. >> reporter: alex murdaugh told investigators several times that on the night of the murders, he had dinner with his family, then took a nap and later drove to his mother's house. >> how long would you say you were at your moms that night? >> 45 minutes, an hour. >> reporter: 45 minutes to an hour? remember, his mother's caretaker testified he came by the house for just 15 to 20 minutes that night. at least four times this interview, owen him if he was at the kennels where the murders took place earlier that night, before he says he found his family dead.

each time murdaugh denied being there. >> you didn't go back down there until you returned from visiting your mother? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: owen also asked him if it was his voice on video that they extracted from paul's phone. it was recovered at the murder scene a few minutes before paul and maggie were killed. >> that was prior to visiting your mother? >> no, sir. not if my times are right. >> reporter: at least eight witnesses testified that it is alex murdaugh's voice on that recording. murdaugh had questions for owen during the interview. >> can you tell me for sure that neither one of them suffered and, is this one person? two persons? three persons? >> is that the first time he ever asked you that? >> yes, sir.

>> ever? >> that i recall, yes. >> and the home investigation to this point? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: and just before the interview ended, owen made it clear to murdaugh that investigators are focused on him and only him. >> do you think i killed maggie? >> i have to go where the evidence and facts take me. >> do you think i killed paul? >> i have go where the evidence and facts take me. i don't have anything that points to anybody else at this time. >> and you can see how that investigator was trying to nail down a time line and some of the inconsistencies and one other thing worth noting, the investigator did inform alex murdaugh for the first time in that interview that a family firearm was used in the murders. he didn't ask how they knew that or where that weapon was. >> thank you for the reporting this morning from south

carolina. don? >> so the gunman in the racist mass shooting at a buffalo supermarket will serve multiple life sentences without parole. at the sentencing, the judge told him he deserve noes mercy and will never see the light of day as a free man again. he planned the may 14th attack for months. his on line posts were full of white supremacist conspiracy theories. he traveled 200 miles from his home in new york to target the predominantly black neighborhood before he learned his punishment, the victims' families delivered tearful and angry testimonials. one man even lunged at him. >> we loved our kids! we never going into neighborhoods and take people out! [ chaos ensues ] 13 people were shot in the attack. ten people died. all of them black.

>> all right. also this morning, fresh off a presidential announcement that happened in south carolina yesterday, nikki haley said she believes politicians who were 75 and above should take a mental competency test. president biden is 80. will her former boss donald trump is 76. was that a dig at both of them? we'll talk about it next. a thing of the past. by relieving pressure points and supporting your body in a way no o other mattress can. for a limited time, save up to $500 on select tempur-p-pedic adjustable matattress sets.

how do i do it all? with a little help. and to support my family's immune health, i choose airborne. unlike some others, airborne gives you vitamin c and so much more. it's an 8 in 1 immune support formula. airborne. do more.

all right. the newest member of the 2024 presidential field nikki haley is zeroing in on age and the age of her potential rivals. >> you called him the greatest president. if that's true, then why run against him sth. >> i'm going to keep that phone call personal. i didn't ask. i told. i thought we needed to go in a new direction. it is time for a new generation of leaders. you shouldn't have to be 80 years old to get to washington. and we got to start righting the ship. we need new blood. we have serious challenges. >> she didn't ask, she told.

that interview coming after she called for more thorough examination of older politicians in her announcement speech. >> in the america i see, the permanent politician will finally retire. [ applause ] we'll have term limits for congress. and mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old. >> haley did not say who she believes should conduct those tests. she also did not call out trump or biden by name. she didn't really have to. biden's age at 76, he would be subject to such a test. joining us to talk about this is our cnn anchor. she would not have to take that test. but she could have picked 80. >> no. >> she could have picked 80.

she picked 75 making sure that donald trump fell into that category. the. >> any person that enters the race right now against donald trump has to delineate themselves in some way without alienating his base. she did a lot of this not saying someone by name but making sure to catch them if a category which they would apply. it sort of a point without a policy. she didn't say and the competency test would look like x and be administered such and such a time. it is really to drive conversation in at the direction she wants which is fundamental questioning of the people who would be frontrunners at this point. >> do you think that -- look, she is raising this. do you think it is the conversation earlier. do you think it's smart for her to do that? in that, right, she's going to turn off a lot of older people and, of course, these are her words. she's bringing this up. that politicians are no longer in their prime. right? and that was according to her. and so i think she's -- >> yes. i heard the earlier segment. i understand what you're saying. one thing you want to keep in

mind is there is an active conversation about the things going on in the u.s. people are questioning dianne feinstein, the senator of california and her competency in her job at this point. that was happening openly in the political papers. and some people's favorite politicians, whether it's bernie sand sanders, whoever, are older. that doesn't mean that people are acknowledging the fact are you squeezing out another generation of potentials by having people kind of parked in these positions? i just want to make one more point. you know, she is bringing up something very interesting saying the quiet part out loud about republicans losing the popular vote multiple times. and every time that happens, there is always an autopsy. with he need to do this. we need to do that. and the kinds of politicians who would have stepped into the reach would have been nikki haley and tim scott and marco rubio and then trump came along. i think she's trying to reassert that position. >> i have to stick up for older people here.

it feels -- there is something that could feel agist about this. it stings. >> i understand why you're saying. that but there is a very strong questioning of biden and competency. it is a key part of the argument against him. she is tapping into something that exists already. and then similarly with trump, there are a lot of people with trump, you played clips earlier. they question his competency and did link it to his age. i understand what you're saying that older voters might, you know, equivocate with this. i don't think older voters look at these politicians and think that's me. that's my proxy for me and my own mental health. they look at this as singular characters. and the question who should run the country. >> i'm looking at the people that traditionally show up to the polls. they usually are old. >> yeah. but they're smart and, you know, they make the decisions about who to vote for. to your point earlier, the idea of prime that you google on the

internet. that sexual and preproductive prime. >> those are not my words. those are nikki haley's words. >> but to be clear, you raised the question of that could somehow be a double edge sword for her. she could be out of her prime in some way. that's not how it works. people are really looking at folks who are in their 80s, up upper tier and questioning every comment they make, every stumble and stutter and pointing to that in the political wars and some sort of sign of something. that's very different than saying -- >> you have to have the energy for that. there are people that feel offended by that. the i think it's individual. i don't think it's based on -- >> no one is going look at nikki haley and say is she in her prime or not. >> i don't know. again, i don't think people are saying that if she didn't bring it up. it was her words. >> she's in her prime for running for office. i think that is the thing. political prime is what we're

talking about. >> can we do one other thing? she also talked about the whole idea of nikki haley. she talked about that interview and about -- hang on one second, please. she talked about being judged harshly by history, saying that after the insurrection that you said trump this is a thing, quote, we'll be judged harshly by hist rich. t -- history and then said he was great for the party. she says things and does things and she is straddling the fence on these issues. >> yeah. she does it on a lot of things. she does it on race as well. she talks about being a woman and i'm not into identity politics and i'm not black and white and i don't care about those things. she signals to a variety of people hoping that something will catch. as to your point, i think there is something to kind of like underscore there and how she is approaching that topic to try and draw in people. it's a little test.

what do you think based on this statement? she has to do that. she's the first. she is trying to carve out a lane for herself. >> which comes with pros and cons. we'll see who is next. >> always love -- thank you. all right. stay with us. he next hour, we're going to discuss the reporting on some of the labor issues that she has done in the country and what that looks like. ten days after the earthquake in turkey, rescuers are still finding survivors in the rubble. one woman asking her saviors what day it was when she emerged. up next, we'll talk to sanjay gupta. he traveled with a helicopter team taking much needed supplies like hospital tents. >> so they just unloaded tents here. this is one of the hardest hit areas of the quake zone.

give you a picture. those are the mountains over there. this area is very mountainous. that is part of the problem. don this is a big hospital. i want to show you over here. when i say big hospital, 1100 bed hospital but not functioning. totally damaged by the earthquake. all the people that need medical care, they can no longer go to the biggest hospital in the area. tents were set up in this parking lot to take care of people. it's a remarkable situation. the tone there is still very much search and rescue. and patients are still coming in in. many of whom need a lot of aid. the skies over turkey are continuously pierced with the sound of helicopter blades. st still performing search and rescue and delivering goods to people hard to access and isolated from the rest of the world, like atakia.

look at what the earthquake did in just minutes here. so many buildings raised to the ground. more than eight days later, too many people still going without even basic supplies. donations continue to pour in from all over the world. to give you an idea, they have things like baby formula, these are safety hard hats over here. these are the type of things coming in. over here you have bread. they have dried foods coming in. these are donations coming from individuals, blankets and warm clothes. and really just as far as the eye can see, there is all sorts of supplies that are now trying to get from this airstrip to the people who desperately need them. over and over again, spontaneous supply lines like this one form and within minutes dozens and dozens of tents are loaded on to the helicopter. today's mission, to provide cover and protection in hatai. a province that has lost both. from the sky it is easy to see

why they're so necessary. a group of men can be seen waiting earnestly for their temporary new homes. they quickly unload the helicopter struggling against the blades which never stop. so they just unloaded the tents here. this is one of the hardest hit areas in the quake zone. off in the distance, a floating hospital. a near necessity after natural disasters like this. after all, as with most other buildings, the hospitals often don't survive either. these hospital ships provide immediate beds and operating rooms like this one with 37-year-old received an operation on his leg after falling two stories during the earthquake. even a maternity ward.

yes, tragically, more than 40,000 people have died but there is also been new life here. a beautiful baby girl. another benefit the captain tells me, unlike the field hospitals on firm ground, these hospital ships in the water are relatively protected from the numerous after shocks that continuously devastate the land. for now, the ground is quiet. the skies are loud. and that is good. as this part of the world slowly, surely, finds its footing. >> 40,000 people plus have died. we know the tragic numbers. a lot of people survived. they're hospitals have been set up now. this is one of the largest ones. tomorrow we will take you inside some remarkable stories of recovery happening inside. we will take you there tomorrow. >> wow. that little girl being born. >> yeah.

sanjay, you have been on, you know, sadly, a lot of these really tragic scenes, but the scope of this one, it seems to be, it seems to be much larger than many of the situations like this you have covered. >> well, you know, it's tough to put these things in perspective like that. haiti was one of the worst. 100,000 people died there near instantly. 100,000 more people died over the next several months. that was awful. i was on a hospital ship in haiti as well where they needed to take care of patients, in part again i found so interesting the ships maybe insulated a bit against all the aftershocks because they worry about that here. they can lose access to power and water and other things. it's tough to compare one to the other. but this has been pretty tragic out here, obviously. >> yeah. and such a long road ahead. >> thank you, sanjay. and back here in the u.s., outrage in ohio. residents feeling unsafe and

uninformed after a toxic train derailed in their town. we are going to speak with one of them straight ahead. there is also an outpouring of grief but also support at a vigil for the victims who were killed in the michigan state mass shooting. coming up, we will talk to senator chris murphy about his renewed effort for a universal background check law in the wake of that shooting. celebrate every kiss. with up to 3 30% off engageme, wedding and anniversary rings. only at kay. ♪ ♪ ♪
