11:02 pm
9-year-old son in the shooting the meanwhile, more than 200 officers from multiple law enforcement agencies are involved this the manhunt for the suspected shooter. and there's also an 8 o$,000 reward being offered for any information that could lead to his arrest. authorities have identified the suspect as 38-year-old francisco oropezo. they have zero leads on the suspect's whereabouts. >> reporter: while the hunt continues for the 38-year-old, the man who is accused of shooting five neighbors on friday night here in the town of cleveland, texas, the husband and father of two of the five victims is detailing to us exactly how the night unfolded. wilson garcia says he was at home with a group of friends when they asked, he and two
11:03 pm
other men, walked over to the home, their neighbor's home and asked him to stop shooting his weapon so close to their property because interest baby w their baby was trying to sleep. they asked him to shoot the gun on the other side of the property. they already called 9 i11 prioro that. but then he came back to their house, didn't say anything else and started shooting people. one of the first to die was his wife. the man started going through the house and shooting people in other rooms. one of the women told him to get out of house as quickly as possible because his wife and son were already dead and they didn't want to lose him because his two other children didn't, shouldn't lose both parents. horrific detail that is wilson garcia is detailing of that night. meantime, investigators continue the manhunt.
11:04 pm
they have been searching for him since friday night when he was able to flee the scene. at this point, investigators have no idea where he might be. >> right now we just don't know. because, if we did, we would have him in custody right now. we do not know where he is. we don't have any tips right now to where he may be. that's why we've come up with this reward so that hopefully somebody out there can call us. i pretty much can guarantee he's contacted some of his friends. right now we're just running into dead ends. right now we have zero leads. >> reporter: in hopes of trying to get information on francisco oropezo's whereabouts, a reward has been thrown together, it is $80,000 that leads to the capture of oropeza. they found his cell phone and
11:05 pm
clothes discarded in the areas but other than that, they have no idea where he may be at this point. ed lavandera, texas. >> tracking dogs initially picked up the scent but officials don't know if the suspect is still in the area. steve moore says the first 2 had ho24 hours are critical during a manhunt. >> you can actually time how far they could have walked, whether or not they could have got ton another vehicle. but after 24 hours, it actually does grow a rillittle bit cold. apartment concern now obviously, that and the concern is that h needs food, water, money. and will do anything to get what he wants.
11:06 pm
>> this happened in sunday morning in bay st. louis. a man was arrested for a deadly shooting at a house party. police say he is the only suspect in the shooting that left a 16 y-year-old and 18-year-old dead and four others injured. brandbeing held without bond. the fate of first republic bank could be decided before markets open for the trading week today. federal regulators held an auction for the ailing bank on sunday. "the wall street journal" reports j.p. morgan chase and pnc are among the top banks that submitted a bid. authorities are likely to announce the decision of that auction in the coming hours. cnn's matt eagan has more. >> reporter: u.s. officials and
11:07 pm
investors are hoping that a white knight comes to the rescue of first republic bank. an auction was held over the weekend trying to entice big banks to acquire this ailing regional bank, according to a person familiar with the matter. but we don't flow know yet the results of that auction or which banks placed bids to buy republic. unlike silicon valley, it has been really teetering for weeks. share prices down by 97% since early march, traded above $122 on march one. it's 12-largest commercial bank in the u.s., sitting on $233 billion of assets as of the end of march. that means if the fdic ends up seizing control of first
11:08 pm
republic this would be the second-biggest bank failure this american history. first republic is based in san francisco and caters to wealthy clients with branchs in beverly h ha hills, palm beach and a branch office across from us in math manhattan. the problem is that two-thirds of its deposits were uninsured. uninsured deposits fled banks after the silicon valley bank collapse last month. it translates to a staggering loss of $72 billion in deposits. and that's despite the influx of $30 billion of deposits from big banks last month. now the question is whether or not big banks are going to come to the rescue with an acquisition here and weather
11:09 pm
u whether officials can stop this crisis before it spreads to you. with the economic doomsday clock ticking to a possible default, republicans and democrats argued some more on sunday but didn't make any progress toward resolving the debt ceiling crisis. the republican-controlled house last week passed a bill to enable the usa to continue borrowing so it could pass its bills. it includes deep program cuts republicans say are critical to curbing excessive spending, but president biden has made clear that plan is dead on arrival. that has republicans accusing him of making no effort to reach a compromise. but independent senator bernie sanders told cnn on sunday republicans first have to pay the programs congress has already approved. >> the president is right. what we need is a clean debt ceiling bill.
11:10 pm
you pay your bills, and then you can sit down and negotiate what a sensible budget is. i think we can start negotiating tomorrow. but you cannot be holding the american people of the world's economy whosehostage. what republicans have got to say is absolutely, we going to make sure we pay our debts. >> the white house, sthince thi congress has begun has had no ideas whatsoever instead of jacking up taxes and spending more money. and the schumer senate has no ideas either. we passed it through the house, take it up in the senate and pass it. >> joining me knew from irvine, california is eric swanson, a professor of economics at uc irvine. appreciate you being with us. >> thank you. >> so america is once again on the brink of a treasury debt default due to politics. republicans refusing to raise
11:11 pm
the debt limit unless they get spending cuts in return and president biden refusing to negotiate on those cuts because he says no conditions should be attached to raising the debt limit. so how dangerous is this game of politics? and what would be the consequences after debt default on the country and indeed the world? >> so treasury securities are a very, very important security in the u.s. financial markets and in the global financial markets. if there were to and debt default of some kind you'd be jeopardizing the value, the liquid it liquidity of those securities. if you think of the treasury security as sort of the oil that lubricates the financial system you basically, if you remove that oil or gum up that oil in some way you could basically put a stop to a financial system in the u.s. and around the world. it would have huge repercussions if in fact it were to come to
11:12 pm
that. >> let's look at what needs to happen to avoid the catastrophic impact of a debt default. will president biden be forced to negotiate spending cuts if they refuse to budge and take the country to the brink of disaster, or is there another option that might work to avoid default? >> so i, people have floated various gimmicks to get around the debt ceiling. in fact, the krz'treasury's bee pursuing low-level gimmicks in the past several months, and there are some lower-level ones they could pull out. it's not clear the treasury has to default on the government debt. they could end up halting payments to federal employees, perhaps, perhaps they'd halt payments to medicare, social security, so it doesn't necessarily mean they would default on the treasury debt. in fact, i think the treasury secretary yellin and jay powell
11:13 pm
would do everything they could to avoid defaulting on the debt. i don't think that would ever really happen >> what about the economy right now? how's it looking given all the talk of a recession and also disruption in the banking system. new trouble of course, trying to save first republic bank? >> so the economy's been looking generally pretty good. i mean, a little bit weaker than at the end of last year, the economy is growing a little more slowly. we just got the gdp data out last week. and that's to be expected. the federal reserve has been raising interest rates a rot. tlot. but there's not any sign of recession at present. the closest we had was bank turmoil last month as you mentioned. that seems to be largely resolved now. they're working on sort of the
11:14 pm
tail end of that with first republic bank theis weekend. so the economy seems to be doing generally okay, just growing a little more slowly. >> the federal reserve is set to meet this week and expected to raise interest rate by another quarter percent in an effort to bring down inflation. what impact will that have on the economy, do you think overall and on the sale of first republic bank? >> it should have no impact. i mean, the sale of first republic bank should be closed bit end of today or tomorrow it sounds like. there would be no impact on. that the quarter of a percentage point, it's a relatively small move. they were moving much more than that at the middle and end of last year. so we wouldn't expect any big effects from one more quarter percentage rate increase.
11:15 pm
it will put just a little more pressure on the economy, a little more inflation. and then i think they want to sort of pause for a minute or slow down for a minute and see what's going to happen from the interest rate increases they've already done in the last nine months or year. and i think you want to give things a chance to play out and then take it from there, see if they need to go up anymore or if they can hold. >> eric swanson, thank you so much for your analysis. appreciate it. >> sure, thank you. parts of the south and eastern united states will be assessing the damage from tornados in the hours ahead. the national weather service confirms that one hit the coastal city of virginia beach sunday evening. the man who shot this video said he was eating at a restaurant when sirens went off. he went outside to see what was going on and then warned people inside. law enforcement and the fire department are now helping residents impacted by the storm
11:16 pm
damage. the crews are responding to reports of gas leaks. and take a look at this video. the moment an ef-2 tornado touched down in palm beach gardens, florida. the winds were so powerful they even flip add car multiple times on the highway. and you can also see the funnel cloud and debris flying through the air. so far, though, no serious injuries have been reported. incredible. well t wasn't weather, but overcrowding that caused this raf c roof collapse near the campus of ohio state university, sending more than a dozen people to the hospital. fire officials say the roof crashed down on the porch below during a house party. witnesses described as many as 45 people on top of the structure when it collapsed. some people were pinned under the debris but were pulled to safety. and there's much more to come here on cnn, including the latest on the conflict in sudan. a doctor's group warns the
