capitol hill. and this is cnn. just in to cnn space, exclaiming it triggered its own explosion of that history making rockets. we're going to tell you why. and another act of senseless gun violence. the look on this six year old girl's face speaks volumes, doctors removing a bullet fragment from her cheek after a basketball rolled into her neighbor's yard, and he allegedly opened fire a manhunt now under away with the girl's mother is saying about the moments before he pulled the trigger. and his violence torment sudan, the u. s military is now deploying additional capabilities nearby. that means u. s service members to be in place to secure the u. s. embassy to prepare for potential

evacuation civilians desperately trying to flee as fighting between rival factions is now overwhelming hospitals. we are following these major developing stories and many more. all coming in right here to cnn news, central. we begin with the rocket launch turned fireworks show space x's historic starship exploded in mid air only minutes after takeoff. watch this. integrated power was icing on the cake. not often. you hear applause after an explosion like that witnesses near the failed launch, now saying they saw and felt would appear to be sand falling from the sky in the aftermath of the explosion. here it is. whatever
12:03 pm
it is spaceship confetti covering a car. cnn's add lavandera joins us now live from the launch site in texas, and now spacex is saying that they deliberately triggered the explosion. right we've thought that that has been a possibility all morning since we witnessed this rocket system explode over the gulf of mexico this morning , and you saw the video there in the last moments of this flight several about three minutes or so into the flight. the rocket ship was clearly tumbling. spacex says it was losing altitude, and now the company is confirming. that it initiated what is called the quote flight termination system on board the booster part of the rocket as well as the rocket itself, and obviously this had to be done because it was spiraling out of control. they had clearly lost the ability to control the rocket system, and that becomes a much more dangerous situation . also remember effort. these rocket launches are done with
12:04 pm
the blessing of the federal aviation administration that gives the clearance to open up the airspace for these kinds of launches. the faa says it was it is looking into and will oversee this mishap and that future flights will be determined and allowed based on ensuring public safety. so clearly, a great deal of work now has to be done to make sure that nothing goes horrifically wrong here. in the future. and as you mentioned, you know the force in the power of this rocket was stunning to see in person who we're also hearing from people who lived about 75 to 7 miles west of the launch site, and the wind was blowing off the gulf of mexico inland, and residents there were describing several minutes. after the launch of the rocket that a wave of it was raining sand for many people inland that really speaks to the power of all of this, but for thousands of people who came here to south
12:05 pm
padre island to witness this historic moment in person it was that morning, they will never forget. it was still excited for crying out loud. i got one word. holy smokes. it was crazy. it was beautiful and i know everybody was excited. i know you were everybody around was just tickled pink. and so, guys now that the euphoria of the moment is kind of over clearly a great deal of concern about where these test flights go from now on elon musk tweeted just after the launch that they learned a lot from this rocket launch and that they will work to sending up another test flight in the coming months. so a quick turnaround here for spacex and i would not be surprised for a second if some of that space hand wound up on ebay at lavandera from south padre island, texas. thank you
12:06 pm
so much, brianna. why did you shoot my daddy and me? that is the heartbreaking question being asked today by this little girl , six year old kinsley white. she and her dad were wounded when a gunman opened fire. police say it was this man 24 year old robert singletary, a neighbor. witnesses say that he began firing after a basketball rolled into his yard and today a manhunt is underway for singletary. cnn's dianne gallagher is at the scene of the shootings. diane tell us what the neighbors are telling you about what happened here. you know, brianna, first and foremost, they're scared right now. i talked to several neighbors who told me they haven't been able to sleep since the shooting happened because the shooter robert singletary is still out there. now they tell me that this is something that had maybe been going on for a couple of weeks. ever since he came to live with his girlfriend in a house here in this neighborhood. they told me that singletary did not like children playing in the yard and he would
12:07 pm
often yell at them. they said that that's what they thought was happening on tuesday when a basketball from a game that was being played at that hoop right there rolled into the yard. they said he yelled at a kid. that kid wouldn't got his dad. the dad came confronted singletary, basically, the neighbor said. he said, look, don't cuss out, my kid. can you just come to me when you have a problem and i'll handle it? well that's when they said singletary went inside, got a gun and began shooting at that man. that man got away uninjured. neighbors say singletary then turned all of the children. they say nearly a dozen of them along with other parents were standing and started shooting at them. one of those was six year old kinsley white and her father. he looked at my husband dead in the face, and he said, i'm gonna kill you. and he started shooting. with my daughter standing right there, beside of him and several other kids. uh, around them. so they took off running and he started chasing him all the way up into our yard and shooting the entire time. kinsley, of course shot in
12:08 pm
the face or bullet fragments doctors removed from her cheek. she has stitches. her father, jamie white, has several internal injuries, according to his wife, and he remains in the hospital officials continue to look for robert singletary, brianna. they say that if you do see him do not approach him that he should be considered armed and dangerous. yeah so scary. we can see the wound here in this photo of kinsley white in the stitches that she got diane. thank you for the latest there. we know you'll continue to follow this gym. that little girl well, 50 million americans live in areas under the threat of a storm system that's already proven deadly in central oklahoma. now, the weather that treaded these buildings and spawned at least eight confirmed tornadoes is heading east and south. rain hail, damaging winds flash flooding more tornadoes possible from texas all the way
12:09 pm
to wisconsin. it's believed that tornado killed at least three people in oklahoma yesterday in the small town of coal. a local local chopper reporter had a close call when reportedly hail from that storm damaged. his aircraft. okay we are beat the hell up. i have no windshield. the helicopters beat up. we're trying to make it supposed alley and land. goodness no windshield in a helicopter in the air. cnn meteorologist chad myers has been monitoring all of this. i mean, pretty lousy storm but dangerous one but also huge. it seems the swath it's cutting across the country. where is it going? i mean, all the way from like you said wisconsin and texas. this is a large line of weather that's going to develop warm air here. colder air behind it. you see the snow up in minnesota. that's where the cold areas wrapping in behind the storm, and that cold wants to push the warm air up and all of a sudden you get the potential for severe weather. and even now, a new tornado watch that
12:10 pm
was just issued. for the chicago land area, watching a few thunderstorms these orange boxes here but also one tornado warning now into parts of oklahoma again, a very unpopulated area. that's the good news, literally. i was on google earth and couldn't find one single house where we're talking right through here south of albany. and this is the area in albion is really a very small town in itself. but if one is rotating more could rotate again this afternoon. bigger hail down to the south and parts of texas could be tennis ball size. hail for sure, but there is the risk area. the watches have now been posted and they will continue throughout the day. the earliest part of this storm where we are right now. i believe is the most dangerous because the storms are not lined up. when they line up. they all kind of fight for the same humidity, the same moisture the same lift, but when they're all by themselves when they're just starting out, that's when
12:11 pm
they can be the big dog all all by itself and wants to spin and that's what's going on right now . by later on this afternoon, things begin to move to the east. and even by tomorrow you will see some thunder and lightning through houston all the way down through new orleans as well. but not as severe again tomorrow and today. hey isn't even as severe as yesterday. but already warnings are posted, jim so we're going to watch it for you. yeah, i know you're gonna keep us on top of it. chad myers in the weather center for us a warning from within their own party. a sitting republican congresswoman says the gop s extreme stance on abortion is going to cost them in. 2024 senator john fetterman, opening up about his battle with the oppression role, he says his debate with dr oz. played plus the nypd searching for the driver of this car seemed barreling down a manhattan sidewalk. all this and much more coming up on cnn news, central.

pests. thanks for wasting my time. pennsylvania senator john fetterman is back on the hill after his treatment for clinical depression. fetterman tells people magazine. he was quote firmly in different to living, and it's tough senate race made his mental health worse, the 53 year old democrat, describes his big debate against republican opponent mehmet oz as something of a turning point. listen to this, he says. quote all never forget the date. it was october 25th. i knew i was going into this debate that millions of people were going to be watching. and it wasn't even just for pennsylvanians watching. this would be kind of national. it would be living history, but i was still in recovery from the stroke, it would be trying to run a marathon with a broken ankle. joining us now is dr jeff gardere. he's a clinical and forensic psychologist and professor of osteopathic medicine. dr gardere. thank you so much for being with us this afternoon. you would imagine that winning such a big senate
12:17 pm
race would be one of the happiest, proudest moments of someone's life. but that's just not how depression works right? exactly and what happens with depression? is it completely changes your outlook, so anything that is extremely positive now becomes negative and what we're seeing with senator federman is that there is a link between that stroke that he had and possibly with depression. we see that depression occurs after stroke in one in three patients. so what we're seeing here is the possibility that the stroke may have caused the depression or deep. opened a depression that may have been there because of the neurotransmitters because of dying tissue in the brain from the stroke. and also that there is a depression that comes in finding out that you are now on a road to recovery, but it is an extremely long road, boris so in
12:18 pm
layman's terms, what happens when someone has a stroke that changes their brain that might trigger a depression? well what we see is there's something called an infarct and what that is, is dying tissue of the brain because the vessels of the brain are not getting enough blood. what is theorized that may have happened was an atrial fibrillation that the senator may have had have caused some sort of, um and in farc, in the heart or an occlusion of blood in the heart, and it traveled up to the brain and therefore cause this sort of problem and what this may have caused is what we called some sort of a receptive and expressive of asia. in other words, a sort of a brain damage where the person has difficulties, processing and
12:19 pm
producing speech. the good news is through may. any months. sometimes a years of getting treatment. for some people, it's much quicker than than that. for him. it looks like it's going to take a little bit longer that many people do recover. that is great to hear dr. i'm curious about the kind of treatment that he could receive and how the challenges of serving in congress might impact that treatment. well i am really disheartened to see how many of the political trolls are looking at every misstep because of not fully being back emotionally and physically from this stroke from his depression, and that's absolutely the wrong message that was sending. we need to be if nothing else promoting individuals who come back from something like this and really praising them, but to your exact question what we tend to see is
12:20 pm
they need to get more speech and language therapy, which i'm sure he's getting physical and occupational therapy as well as counseling, mental health support and, of course for his depression, psychotherapy as well as medications are very helpful. yes, some of that criticism on social media. it's just uncalled for, and does nothing to relieve the stigma that there is oftentimes around mental health. dr. jeff gardere , we very much appreciate your expertise. thank you so much. great to talk to you, again. nation is awaiting the supreme court's ruling on the most common method of abortion. the pill myth oppressed own. the decision could land at any time between now and midnight tomorrow, and it will impact women everywhere. even those in states where abortion is currently legal. the decision comes as state republicans aggressively restrict abortion. florida governor ron desantis just signed a six week abortion ban into law. and while the right digs in on the issue, democrats have seen an electoral
12:21 pm
boost from deep red kansas. this voting to protect abortion rights to liberals taking the wisconsin supreme court. to the gop s lackluster midterms. now republican congresswoman nancy mace is calling out her party for what she calls their extremism on the issue. we haven't learned anything if we're going to sign a six week ban mandating rape victims reported to place to get an exception and do it in the dead of night. that is not where the american people are. you can be pro life and pro woman. the two are not mutually exclusive and as a rape victim, i want ron desantis to know what rape victims have to go through. we will not win the popular vote in 24 if we continue down this path of extremism david chalian is here to break all of this down for us. i mean, david, we don't yet know where the supreme court is going to land on this, but we have a pretty good idea where voters are on the abortion medication piece specifically, brianna, take a look. this is a pew research survey that came out of the field and the beginning of april. here 53% a
12:22 pm
slim majority of americans. believe medication. abortion should be legal, only 22% only 22% 1 out of every five americans believe it should be illegal, and about a quarter of americans say they're not sure what about overall on abortion. so now you have to start asking specifics on this, so we took a look at a six week abortion ban . this is from last summer. ap and rc poll 74% of americans say allow an abortion to be legal at the six week mark. only 25% say no, this is how unpopular broadly nationally what ron desantis just signed into law in florida 15 weeks is something lindsey graham has proposed as a piece of federal legislation. 53% of americans say allow abortion to be illegal legal at the 15 week mark 45% say not allow again. this is from last summer. and then if you look overall at how americans feel about the dobbs decision last year from the supreme court, it's widely
12:23 pm
unpopular. two thirds of americans 67% opposed with the supreme court did last year by overturning 50 years of precedent. only a third of americans are in favor of it. that's a huge number. i wonder if republicans should be paying attention to what nancy may said if they have an eye towards, say, a general election. i mean, nancy mace is keenly aware of all the numbers we just ran through. and if you look at sort of the patchwork now, that is america on this issue, because the supreme court returned it to the states, you can see here in purple, where it remains legal, her home state, south carolina, one of them she is from a battleground district, so she obviously does not represent republicans everywhere and all republicans, but she does represent somebody trying to win over independence and thinking about that general election context. those numbers that you walked us through. she really has to deal with. all of those, david. thank you so much for walking us through that, jim. the u. s. is now deploying service members near sudan to help with a potential evacuation of the u. s embassy there. we're

12:31 pm
available if you leave me your number i'll be glad to give him happy to leave you the number but would you admit that that was your voice on these tapes? i've been told to make no conference feel bad about what happened. do you feel bad about the things that were said, sir, i've been instructed to make no , i appreciate you guys stuff and by very polite. i'm just wondering, you can just personally say if you how you feel, though, about it been instructed to make no comment, because this could be a good time to say i'm i'm sorry. i made comments like that. that's not me. that's not who i am. i understand where you're going. instructed to make no comments. so he's playing it cautiously. one person has resigned. the other three have not resigned yet. boris. gary i appreciate the insistence and you're trying to get an answer from him. it's interesting that those officials from the sheriff's office were more concerned, at least in their initial statement about

12:33 pm
will be officially crowned king jim all right. we do have this news just into cnn prosecutors in the rust fatal shooting case plan to dismiss charges against the actor alec baldwin in the case of that fatal shooting on the set the movie set of rust baldwin and weapons supervisor were charged with involuntary manslaughter. you may remember in the shooting death of the cinematographer helena hutchins , cnn entertainment reporter chloe melis is breaking this story that this is a significant move by prosecutors as i understand it. there is still charges standing against the co defendant in this case, can you tell us where this stands and is it over for good? well listen, so what we're hearing is that prosecutors in new mexico are going to be filing those documents today or tomorrow ahead of a scheduled status hearing and this is ahead of what was supposed to be a criminal trial with alec baldwin
12:34 pm
and who you said the co defendant, hannah gutierrez reed , who was the armorer on rust. i want to read you a statement from alec baldwin's attorneys luke nikas and alex spiro. they tell cnn we are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against alec baldwin and encourage a proper investing. gatien into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident. so we know that the next hearing was expected to take place on may 3rd preliminary hearing ahead of the trial, unclear if that is still going to be taking place, but this is a big moment for alec baldwin. alec baldwin sat down with me last summer, and he adamantly denied ever pulling the trigger. he said that it was anybody's fault but his but you know, he cried in that interview with me, telling me that there's not a day that goes by that he doesn't think about what happened. what happened to helena hutchins and the irony of all of this news today is that today the movie rust resumed filming after more than a year since elena hutchins died. they are at yellowstone in montana,
12:35 pm
filming for about 20 to 25 days , and so this is all happening on the same day to go back and film that movie as part of a settlement between alec baldwin , the production of rust and the family of helena hutchins, the widower, matthew hutchins, and that was just recently. killed by a judge. but this is a massive moment. we haven't heard anything from alec baldwin. we've reached out to the prosecutors, the d a in new mexico for further comment, and i do just want to point out that this comes about a month after the special special prosecutor andrea reid stepped down, and it comes after the d a recused herself from this case. chloe melas. thanks so much and please stand by quite a development in this story we've been covering for some time. we're also joined now by attorney and legal affairs commentator areva martin areva. as we understand it, this is a dismissal. this is a major development in case no matter how no matter how you slice it, but dismissed without prejudice and charges still stand against a co defendant here. does that allow the investigation and the
12:36 pm
case, perhaps to be resurrected against baldwin, or is he free and clear? in theory, it does, jim, but i cannot imagine that any district attorney would resurrect those charges. given this bombshell news today in terms of dropping the charges, the involuntary manslaughter charge against alec baldwin we know that the gun enhancement charges that were filed against him have been downgraded just this february. so i think for all practical purposes, alec baldwin is out of any criminal jeopardy as it relates to this incident. remarkable move now. you followed this case for some time. what do you think the key was here? what is your read as to why prosecutors abandoned this case. i think that the thing that we can point to until we hear you know directly from these prosecutors is the recusal of the prosecutor involved in this case. i have to imagine that the new person that came on
12:37 pm
maybe looked at this evidence and said there is not enough evidence here where we can get a verdict, you know conviction. you know, at trial. we can't convince jurors beyond reasonable doubt, which is the standard in a criminal trial that alec baldwin is guilty of involuntary manslaughter. i can think of no other reason that a prosecutor would drop a case. no question. we should note that both baldwin and the weapons supervisor did plead not guilty to this. i wonder that this would close down the criminal path so far for baldwin here are their civil liabilities here that would still hang over his head. well, we know jim that there's already been a settlement, uh, with elena's family, and that her husband, in fact, is moving forward with, you know, being one of the co producers on the movie that's filming at this moment, so i think the biggest civil liability or potential civil liability that cases already been resolved. so i think for all practical purposes again,
12:38 pm
you know out of all it is in the clear, sort of speak. he has maintained from the beginning that he didn't pull the trigger. he played not guilty as you indicated, so i think this is going to wrap this chapter for him. a river market and thanks so much, and if you're just joining us now we do have this news into cnn. and that is the prosecutors have abandoned charges dismissed charges against the actor alec baldwin for the shooting that took place on the set of the movie rust in october 2021 resulting in the death of the senate cinematographer for that film, halina hutchins. chloe i know you've been reaching out for reaction to this. and you've been covering this case since the beginning. what else have you been learning? you know, look, we have reached out to alec baldwin directly for comment, and i think that if he's going to say something, it's likely that it will be on social media like he has done in the past. you know, we know that he's back filming rust today at yellowstone in montana, and you know this is incredibly significant because he's only given just a handful of
12:39 pm
interviews, one of them to cnn last summer telling me you know that he was innocent, that truly that this was a civil case. most according to his attorneys, and they have his legal team has been working nonstop to try and pick apart this case. we don't know why the district attorney and the prosecutors have made this very significant move, and also it's still looks as though you know dave halls who was the assistant director on the film, he took that plea deal that was announced earlier this year. and then hannah gutierrez read. she faces those two manslaughter charges. but i do want to point out that significantly not at long ago. those charges were downgraded with the firearm enhancement charge being removed , and that was kind of like the first significant jim legal victory for alec baldwin's legal team and for luke nikas and you know that reduced the potential prison sentence for from five years to 18 months. so i think that what we all should be
12:40 pm
watching now is what happens with the rest of this. are they going to move forward against hannah gutierrez read as the hearing going to happen on may 3rd see this move to trial in june, and now that they have removed that you're dismissed, moving to dismiss these charges against alec baldwin. could it mean that they have more information could potentially charge others, you know, so we don't know the cards that the d a is holding right now and hopefully we're going to hear more, and we'll get some more information when those documents are filed, jim chloe, you raise an interesting point. i do want to ask areva martin about this because there are still charges standing against another person involved here, and we don't know what new evidence, if anything, prosecutors discovered, is it possible that baldwin could become a witness in any ongoing criminal investigation? that's a great question, jim. we do know at this point that charges the involuntary manslaughter charges against hannah gutierrez read still staying. there's no indication from the information
12:41 pm
we're getting today that those charges are being dropped against her. so it does raise the question about alec baldwin what he knows what he may be able to testify to in this june trial. if this trial goes forward, i would suspect though, that prosecutors are going to be looking for a ball and if they are going to try to make a case against hannah gutierrez read, he may have information that could help them make a more successful case and get a conviction against her, so we should look very quick carefully to see has continued involvement . in this case. no question will watch closely. of course, all this happening just days. well a couple of weeks before they were gonna have a may 3rd preliminary hearing on this areva martin khloe molasses as well. thanks so much boris over to you. the u . s. is preparing for a potential evacuation of the u. s. embassy in sudan now deploying service members to help the latest from the ground when we come back on cnn news, central. tomorroww history in te

evacuate us embassy personnel at the embassy in khartoum, us department of defense defense official telling cnn that this would include hundreds of marines who are stationed at company ammonia. that's in djibouti. that's next to sudan. and this is the u. s has only permanent military base on the african continent that would include aircraft that would bring in enough ground personnel to secure an embassy. so far, that is not a plan, but it's just continuously planning in case it becomes necessary. just yesterday a u. s deputy assistant secretary for african affairs, told congressional employees that the situation was too volatile to evacuate people. but this is a fast changing situation. so far, there's been at least three attempts at a ceasefire in sudan that have all fallen apart. you see smoke. smoldering in parts of khartoum , the capital, and these two warring generals involved in the power struggle can't agree on what to pass fighting, even for humanitarian reasons. i want to show you a map of sudan to see exactly where it said. this is a really volatile part of africa, but there are some key
