we start today in allen, texas, where police are gathering evidence trying to determine the motive behind saturday's mass shooting. a 33-year-old gunman killed eight people and wounded at least seven others at a small with victims ranging in age from 5 to 61 years old. earlier today cnn spoke to a man who rushed to the scene after he got a call from his son who was working at the mall and what he encountered was horrific. listen. >> she was not able to be saved. i couldn't save the second guy. the third guy expired while i was trying to do chest compressions. the child came out from under what i believe was the mother, might have been a relative. i don't know how the relation is, but started to wander around asking for help, saying mama, mama. so i scooped the child up and took them 15 feet away so he or

she couldn't see what was going on. there was so much blood on the child i couldn't tell the sex. >> we're also learning the death toll could have been higher. the police officer who took down the gunman just happened to be on the scene responding to an unrelated call. officials say the shooter was wearing tactical gear armed with an ar-15-style rifle with at least one other weapon, along with several magazines. a source tells cnn's josh campbell that the gunman briefly served in the u.s. military but was removed because of mental health concerns. let's take you live to the scene in allen, texas, with josh campbell. josh, bring us up to speed with what we're learning about the suspect, because i imagine a big part of this investigation is going to have to do with how he obtained those weapons. >> reporter: that's absolutely right, boris. you look at his past and this is only the latest mass shooting in this country that's raising questions about how a robust background check, if that

existed, might have stopped carnage from happening. i'm told that the 33-year-old man from the dallas area previously served in the united states military but was removed over concerns about mental health issues. nevertheless, he then after leaving the military some period of time passes and he becomes a security guard, undergoes weapons training, firearms training, and assembles a small arsenal which he brought here to this mall behind me when he conducted that mass attack. as you mentioned, how he collected those weapons is going to be key. i'm also told by a law enforcement source that authorities are zeroing in on a possible motive particularly related to potential extremism. i'm told that comes down to two key pieces of evidence authorities are looking at. first, after he was shot and killed by that heroic police officer that you just mentioned there, authorities looked at the suspect's body. on his chest they found an insig kneea that read rwds which they believe it stands for right wing

death squad. it's the same insignia we've seen many extremists wearing and displaying. second i'm told that the suspect in the shooting had an extensive online presence that authorities are now poring otver at this hour. they found posts he made about white supremacy and neo-nazis. obviously we're seeing where this investigation is going as they work to determine why he came here this day opening fire and killing so many people. >> yeah, just a tragic scene there. josh, please keep us up to speed on the very latest details. thank you so much for that. jim, over to you. as we just heard from josh, the shooter was apparently wearing a patch with rwds, like you see there. authorities believe that stands for right wing death squad. just alarming to hear. southern poverty law center monitors extremism in the u.s. and says members of various far right groups have worn rwds patches in recent years. several proud boys have worn it since at least 2018.

joining us now, charles ramsey. he's led police departments in two major metropolitan areas. we know, chief ramsey, that the fbi has been saying for years that right wing extremism is the number one terrorist threat in this country. during your time in law enforcement or recently have you been aware of this particular symbol, rwds, and what does it mean in your view? >> i wasn't aware of that particular symbol. i've heard of it, but i wasn't really aware of it during my time as a police chief. this is something -- it may not be relatively new but it's relatively new as far as i'm concerned. but it really does go to show how these far right and for that matter far left extremist organizations pose a threat to our national security. >> once again, the shooter used an ar-15, as we've seen in so many mass shootings.

semiautomatic, velocity rifle. again, for someone who served in law enforcement, can you describe what a weapon such as that, whether you call it an assault weapon or not, when a weapon such as that can do in a short period of time and why it's particularly dangerous? >> well, first of all, the wounds that are inflicted by a weapon like that are absolutely incredibly damaging to the human body. these are weapons that were designed for one purpose and that's to kill people. it's very effective as it relates to that. in the hands of people that should not have it, my personal feeling is that assault weapons do not belong in the civilian population. but certainly they don't belong in the hands of people who are suffering from any form of mental illness, where they're a danger to themselves or others, or people who are just inclined to engage in criminal conduct. there are a lot of people in our society unfortunately that just

should not have access to not only these kinds of firearms but firearms in general. but it really does raise it a lot when you're talking about assault weapons. you can kill so many people in a short period of time. you have an officer who happens to be there. he still takes action and even within that period of time, you know, we've got eight dead. >> seconds, not even minutes oftentimes. let me ask you this. let's say you were called back into duty to run a police department in a metropolitan area in the state of texas. you have the governor saying as you often hear in the wake of this from gun rights supporters that this is purely a mental health issue and does not mention guns. texas is a state that has been weakening gun laws in recent years, including not requiring permits under some circumstances. if you were in charge of law enforcement and responding or trying to prevent shootings like this, what position would that put you in? >> well, we would be at odds. i mean the governor and i,

because there has to be some storm of control over firearms. universal background checks, red flag laws. we've got to tighten the loopholes from private sales. there are a lot of things that can be done. as far as mental health goes it's the intersection between mental health and firearms that really is the problem. it's easy to say, well, it's a mental health problem. it's more than that and it's more complicated than that. and you have to really be able to sit down and have a reasonable discussion in order to find that middle ground to be able to deal with this issue in our country of not just mass murder. i mean there are murders that occur on the streets of our cities every single day, just don't get the media attention that a mass shooting gets. so there are things that need to happen. i'm not optimistic it's going to happen, not just in texas but in other jurisdictions as well. there has to be a national solution. it's too easy to circumvent any

state law by simply going to another state or even buying through mail order, people can buy firearms. we have an issue with ghost guns. it goes on and on and on and it's not improving. it won't improve as long as we have the current group of people in office. >> we see another group of people walking out with their hands up from this shooting. we've been watching this for 20 years. chief, thanks so much. to another horrifying deadly incident in texas, this time near the border in brownsville. eight are dead and several more injured after a speeding suv plowed into 18 people at a city bus stop. the driver is a man named george alvarez and he's facing eight counts of manslaughter and ten counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. the crash was caught on surveillance video. we're not going to show you all of this, it is quite frankly too

disturbing. but you can see at the top of the screen that suv that was speeding alvarez tried to flee the scene. you can see in cell phone video a crowd of people trying to keep him from escapeing. nick valencia is in brownsville. what else are police saying about this? you were sitting in on the press conference. >> reporter: this is somebody that has been known to the brownsville police department for quite some time according to the police chief. he has a long criminal history which includes aggravated assault as well as driving under the influence and possession of marijuana. he's being held on a $3.6 million bond charged with eight counts of manslaughter and ten counts of aggravated assault in this incident. i want to show you exactly what happened here. according to eyewitnesses, he came barreling through this intersection at a high rate of speed, totally ignoring this red light, hopping a curb and ending up 40 or 50 yards in that

direction where the migrants were waiting for the bus stop. some of them were sitting on the curb having no idea what was about to happen to them. the investigation has taken police to a variety of threads here. one of the threads is whether or not this act was intentional. it's something that i asked the brownsville police chief about directly at a news conference earlier. >> chief, nick valencia with cnn. how are you able to rule out that this was not intentional? it sounds like you're saying he lost control. >> we are not ruling that out, sir. it is an ongoing investigation. >> reporter: i spoke to an eyewitness who says there's no doubt in his mind the act was intentional. he said that alvarez tried to get out of the car and take off running. he was eventually subdued by eyewitnesses here. all of this of course happening with just days left in title 42 before it expires, causing a lot of anxiety along border communities like this one here in brownsville. >> nick valencia, thank you so

much for that report. i now want to bring in texas state senator morgan la montia who represents the area where this happened. senator, i'm so sorry for what happened, this is just awful. it seems increasingly like this may have been an accident. is that your read? >> so this is one of the largest mass fatality instances that brownsville has ever had. our chief of police chief and our police department are doing everything they can to fully investigate this issue so they are not releasing any information. as far as we know it could have been intentional but there could have been an accidental element to it as well. until we have more information and they're able to interview all the witnesses, we're not going to know for a fact, at least not yet. >> some of these folks, they just arrived in the country this weekend. i wonder if you see this as this tragedy speaking to the vulnerable state that your community and these migrants are in at a critical time with title

42 expiring this week? >> very much so. in the state of texas we treat everyone's lives equally regardless of their citizenship status. these individuals that came across, they came across recently across the border and this is over three months of travel through some of the most dangerous terrain and going through just very, very dangerous situations. yet they made it to texas. they're one of the lucky few that actually made it to our borders and at a point they should be able to broeathe easy and be safe. we failed them as a state and they were mowed down and their lives were taken, their families' hopes were taken. with title 42 ending and more individuals coming to our state, we need to protect them every step of the way. >> the suspect here, george alvarez, that rap sheet that was displayed at this press conference is so long. we heard the chief say even if this was an accident, look, this

is someone with this criminal history. was this person a ticking time bomb? >> i can't speak to that matter, but i can tell you that there are steps we're going to need to take to make sure that people coming into the state of texas are going to be safe. we have better protections out there, and where this incident occurred, it was on the side of a road by a bus stop in front of a homeless and migrant shelter. they're doing a wonderful job. we need to make sure that they have the resources they need to help educate the migrants coming over here so they know what sort of precautions they should be taking as well. >> thank you for your time this afternoon. we appreciate it. boris. still ahead, passenger payback. the white house unveiling a plan to make airlines pay customers for cancelling or delaying flights. so what do the airlines have to say about that? plus digging in. the gop ramping up their demands

the past year. let's take you to the white house and jeremy diamond. jeremy, lay out the nuts and holtz of this proposal for us. >> reporter: the administration started looking more closely at this issue after last summer. we saw some of those widespread flight disruptions across the country. they began by looking at transparency measures, posting information on the department of transportation's website which said which airlines offer what kind of compensation or refunds. now they're going a step further and we'll hear this directly from president biden this hour as he is set to propose new rules that would require some of these airlines to compensate passengers who face cancellations or delays that are within the airline's control. so that could be mechanical issues, staffing issues, all issues within control, not weather as you just outlined there. the secretary of transportation, pete buttigieg, says when an airline causes a flight cancellation or delay that passengers should not foot the

bill. that's the core of this. the details will be worked out in the rule making process over the next several months, but clearly this is an effort by the administration, which as we have seen president biden before has tackled issues like junk fees for consumers. he views some of these issues as important as he looks towards his re-election campaign. he's trying to tackle some of these issues that affect every single person, not just republicans, not just democrats, but every american. >> we look forward to hearing from the president and the transportation secretary in the next half hour or so. jeremy diamond from the white house, thank you so much. jim. so from travel disasters to potential economic disaster. time running out and both sides dig in. 43 senate republicans are vowing to block any deal to raise the nation's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling unless the biden administration to budget cuts republicans are demanding. it is a big show of support for house speaker kevin mccarthy's position, but the white house says it is a nonstarter.

the president is calling for a clean raise as it's known. the risk for the national economy are significant and real. treasury secretary janet yellen warns the u.s. could default on its debt without a deal as early as june 1st. that's just 24 days away. lauren fox has been covering this. lauren, we've had both sides dig their heels in for weeks now, but the fact is they're facing each other. they have got to deal with each other at some point. where does that stand? is there any middle ground here? is the biden administration showing any signs it's willing to deal and negotiate? >> that's the big question, right, going into tomorrow. is there a middle ground to forge in the weeks ahead? there's just not that much time to strike the grand bargain that you might expect with republicans and democrats at a crossroads on what to do and how to prevent the country from defaulting on its debt. janet yellen laying out in this

date is coming sometime in early june. lawmakers on capitol hill only in session for about eight days. that's not to say they can't have a conversation with the white house if lawmakers aren't here in washington or that leadership can't stay behind to try to hammer out a doeal. interestingly tomorrow this meeting is happening with all four congressional leaders. that means top democrats and top republicans including the senate leader, o' -- excuse me, republ leader mitch mcconnell will be present but joe biden and kevin mccarthy is who to keep your eyes on. they're the only two that can get the message back this is a compromise and it's not clear that one is going to appear after tomorrow's meeting. it may take a few false starts to really start to see progress. also, it might take some pressure coming from wall street to start to see some progress. jim. >> and economists have been

telling us the damage to the economy starts before that fiscal cliff. you start to see impacts there. we'll see how close they're willing to bring us. lauren fox, thanks so much. now to the u.s./mexico border where officials are bracing for a migrant influx ahead of this lifting of title 42. here in just three days the trump era policy that allows some immigrants to be quickly turned away is going to be expiring. border officials are ring or 8,s a day so you can see how that is an issue and that number could be rising to 10,000 a day when title 42 ends. here you can see new drone video. long lines of migrants camped out just on the other side of the border at ciudad juarez, mexico. we have the latest from the ground there. >> reporter: the city of el paso in a state of emergency. take a look around me and you'll see that there are hundreds of

migrants simply on this street and according to the city of el paso, there are more than 2,000 migrants living in the streets of el paso. now, as you look around, you'll see that the majority of the individuals here are adults. most of the women and children are able to get shelter inside some of the shelter facilities that are in the city. that's why most of the individuals are adults. you'll see that the city has brought out more porta potties. there are more resources out here. and over the weekend, the city deployed these barricades to close off the city streets. this was done before the tragedy in el paso, but for the same reason because of public safety. as you look around, you'll see that a lot of migrants are on the streets. the city of el paso is asking motorists and people driving around these streets to be very

careful just because of the volume, because of the number of migrants who are out here. and the flow is not stopping. this is from the area in el paso where migrants turn themselves in to u.s. immigration authorities. you can see that there are hundreds of individuals. there's videos that were posted by the border patrol chief here in el paso that shows the magnitude of the situation here. now, according to an administration official, more than 25,000 migrants are in immigration custody and encounters per day right now along the u.s./mexico border surpass 8,000. now, from talking to individuals in communities all the way to brownsville, i can tell you that all of the border communities in between that i've talked to say that they're seeing an increase in migrants. rosa flores, cnn, el paso.

let's take a look at some of the top stories we are following today on cnn news central. the entire state of texas reeling after just a violent weekend. police are learning more about the gunman and victims in saturday's mass shooting at a mall in the city of allen, texas. a 33-year-old gunman killed eight people, wounded at least seven others. a source tells cnn that investigators are looking into his potential extremist ties based on his social media presence and as insignia on his clothing. the victims ranged in age from just 5 years old to 61. and in the border town of brownsville, texas, new updates on the investigation into a deadly crash that killed several migrants. police say a 34-year-old driver lost control of his suv and

ended up killing eight people, injuring at least ten others. all this at a bus stop outside of a homeless shelter. police say they do not have any sort of motive. the driver has been charged with multiple counts of manslaughter. the chair of the house foreign affairs committee, mike mccall, is threatening to hold the secretary of state in contempt of congress. remember, tony blinken has declined to turn over a classified diplomatic cable related to the chaotic 2021 u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan. now mccall says he's moving forward with contempt proceedings this week if blinken doesn't turn it over. kylie atwood is at the state department for us. how is tony blinken responding to this threat? >> reporter: listen, we just heard from the state department deputy spokesperson calling it unfortunate that the house foreign affairs committee chairman has moved along with this threat because what the

state department is saying is they believe they have provided sufficient information to the house foreign affairs committee about this cable. this dissent cable was written to the secretary of state from diplomats who are serving in afghanistan in the summer of 2021 saying the state department wasn't doing enough to prepare for the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan. and so this committee really wants to see that dissent cable because they want to see exactly what those diplomats were telling the state department to do to better prepare for what we ended up seeing was a dramatically chaotic and deadly withdrawal from the country. now, what the house foreign affairs committee is saying is that, yes, we got this briefing from state department officials on this dissent cable. we also got the written summary. but what they are saying is that, quote, those were abbreviated characterizations of what is in the dissent cable. and they really want to see the actual cable itself.

the chairman offering to review the cable without reviewing the names of those diplomats who signed onto the cable because the state department has said that this is a channel that allows diplomats to stay anonymous and they don't want to put them essentially in the middle of this back-and-forth battle that has become quite political. but what we're also hearing from the house foreign affairs committee on this is that the biden administration has a history, in their words, of summarizing what has to do with the afghanistan withdrawal in not a very accurate way. so what they're concerned about here is they're not getting the most accurate portrayal of this dissent cable from the state department given what they have already provided. now, thursday is the day for this deadline that chairman mccaul has given to the state department. we'll watch to see how this legal battle continues to unfold. boris. >> a big deadline on thursday. kylie atwood from the state department, thanks so much. so as interest rates

continuing to climb, "the watering post" reports americans are much less likely to buy a new car. the average price of a new car hit $47,759 today. kelly blue book says that prices are up 30% from march of 2020. cnn's matt egan is with us now. i looked at this number and i couldn't believe it. it seemed like it should be somewhere in the 30s. what is driving this besides inflation? >> well, there's been a perfect storm here. yes, of course inflation has made everything more expensive, but there are also those computer chip shortages after covid. that hurt the supply of new cars. the fed's war on inflation has made it more expensive to get car loans and american's taste in car buying has shifted to some of the more expensive suvs and trucks and so manufacturers are focused on manufacturing those pricier vehicles. almost $48,000 is the average

price for a new car. that is up by 32% from five years ago, according to edmunds. seeing an even bigger jump for used car prices. feef years ago the average was around $20,000. today it's nearly $30,000 for a used car. that is good for a 46% increase. now, of course this is all very frustrating to people who are in the market for a new car because for the longest time buying new cars was part of the american dream. now a lot of people have been priced out of the market for new cars and it feels like that american dream has been pushed further and further away. the last few years have been really some of the worst times in decades to buy cars. the other interesting point, though, here is the federal reserve. they are trying to combat inflation, but their tool is actually making things more expensive on a monthly basis. that is on car financing. as you can see, the average for

car financing has hit a 13-year high, 6.6% is the average rate for a 60-month loan. that is up significantly from two years ago. the good news here, brianna, is that car prices do appear to have peaked late last year. they have started to inch lower, but it's really been slow. in the meantime it does feel like people will continue to be frustrated when they look for a new car. >> they are with that number. matt egan, thank you so much. i don't know, jim, maybe a cnn news central car pool is in our future. >> you know what, cars last longer, right? so to have them a little longer on the market maybe not the worst thing. communities in new york declare states of emergency as the mayor of new york says he will send migrants to places in the state but outside of the city. some of those towns are infuriated. dozens of wildfires are burning out of control in

that's alberta province. more than 100 wildfires are burning as hot, dry conditions are challenging fire crews. the provincial government there declaring a state of emergency. the fires have now scorched more than 375,000 acres. so far an area that's roughly one and a half times the size of new york city's five boroughs combined. over 29,000 people have evacuated the region so far. many of them running into long traffic jams as so many desperately try to escape. and tom cruise outdoing himself yet again. the daredevil actor known for doing his own stunts accepting his mtv movie award for his performance in "top gun maverick" by actually piloting the p-51 mustang he flew in the film. you see the popcorn in the back seat. the anchor thanking the viewers for voting for him, signing off by saying "see you at the movies." jim. >> that's pretty cool. the top executive in

rockland county is lashing out at new york city mayor eric adams calling him a hypocrite, blasting his plan to send migrants to rockland county. adams says that new york city is just overwhelmed with asylum seekers, so he needs neighboring cities and counties to share the burden. he says there are already more than 37,000 migrants in new york city's care. he's tired of waiting on the federal government for help, so he's taking matters into his own hands. this before thursday's end to title 42. athena jones is in rockland county with more reaction there. first, how soon is this expected to happen, and where will they go when they get there? >> reporter: hi, jim. well, that is one of the big questions we heard repeated over and over again at the press conference this morning hosted by rockland county executive ed day. the plan is to house them in this hotel behind me, at least that's according to what the county said they have been able

to find out. they don't know anything about timing. that was one of the big complaints from day and other officials, that there wasn't enough coordination or really any coordination with the city. they say they first got a phone call. one of the officials said they heard from the mayor himself or from the mayor's office on friday afternoon saying that this was going to take place, this plan was going to know enacted, but they didn't have any information on the number of people being sent up here and the number of migrants or when it would happen. so that is a big question. i can tell you that this hotel where we're at right now, we've seen the sheriff's official driving by every now and then. people from the fire department clearly keeping an eye on this location because these county officials just don't know when these migrants are going to be arriving up here. now, i can tell you that county executive ed day in his state of emergency, they declared that that state of emergency declaration prohibits any municipalities from sending migrants up to this county.

it prohibits hotels and motels like the one behind me from housing migrants without a license. and it requires any municipalities that send migrants to rockland county to make sure they are fully cared for and paid for according to the plan -- the details that have been shared by county officials and the city, the plan would be to house the migrants at places like this hotel for four months. a lot of the county executives are say what happens after that? who pays after that? jim. >> so 37,000 already in new york city. a few hundred going to rockland county. is there a plan for the mayor to do this to other counties around the state? and how quickly does that happen? >> reporter: well, the timing is still going to be in question. we know that new york city expects to see some 800 migrants arriving a day once title 42 lifts. but we know that orange county, a county further north from where we are now is another

against russia's invasion of ukraine and its consequences. at one point during his speech he said, quote, the whole world is against us. so far there's been no reaction from the kremlin. these comments are coming as russia continues to rain down missile attacks across ukraine, including the key port city of odesa and in the capital of kyiv. we want to take you now live to kyiv because cnn's nic robertson has been reporting from the ground there. let's start with this oligarch, he is a real estate tycoon, he leads this organization of russian entrepreneurs and he's criticizing the kremlin openly. that is dangerous for him. >> reporter: potentially it is and i think the timing is it interesting because he said, you

know -- and he was on the record as saying he was a believer in russia's ability to beat ukraine at the beginning of the war, but then he said then there was the withdrawal and the loss of territory from kherson, the sinking of russia's big war ship the moskva, there was the fire and explosion on the bridge, that big bridge that links crimea to mainland russia, but there's the most recent thing he said and then there were the drones over the kremlin. just last week. so it's taken all these things and now it's the drones over the kremlin and he's speaking out and saying that russia is becoming an outcast. he hasn't been openly critical of putin, but this has to come as a warning to putin. will others join their voices with his? there's clear there's dissent about the way that the war is going within -- and the way the kremlin is handling it because we're hearing that from the mercenary wagner boss yevgeny prigozhin. there is trouble. how big it is, how putin handles

it, we will have to see. >> notably the timing is also interesting because tomorrow is victory day, a huge symbolic day for russia honoring the day where russia beat nazis back in world war ii. nic robertson, we have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much. over to you, jim. and that kind of dissent is dangerous in russia to say the least. new details about the shooter in the texas mall massacre. an update ahead on cnn "news central." safelite came right to us, and we could see exactly when t they'd arrive with a replacement we could t trust. that's service the way we want it. > singers: ♪ safelite repai, safelite replace. ♪ not that into saving, are you? -whoa, dudude... -money. cuz... cuz you paid too much for those glasses. next time, go to america's best where two pairs and a free, quality eye exam start at just $79.. book an exam today at aricasbest.com. ♪
