crunch, it would be offered in more of a champagny kind of thing. apple is not commenting. we'll have to wait until the next iphone is officially announced next month. coming up, at 6:00 i'll be filling in for wolf blitzer but first let me turn it over to miss keilar. take it away. >> thank you, jake. a school where at least one gunshot is reported fired. >> plus more than 100,000 acres scorched across idaho. is there any relief in sight? >> and dick van dyke's car engulfed in flames. you are going to meet one of the people who helped rescue the legendary actor. wolf blitzer is off today. i'm briana keilar and you are in

the situation room. we begin with some terrifying moments at a charter school just outside of atlanta where at least one gunshot was reported fired today. children could be seen leaving the building and being guided to the corner of a field as this happened. there are no reports of injuries and one person is in custody. cnn's david mattingly is in decat decatur, georgia, joining us with the latest. what can you tell us? >> we just heard from the police chief of dekalb county, georgia. there was a single gunman described at 19 years old. he gained entry through the locked doors of the school by following someone else in. he immediately went to the school office carrying an ak-47 and some other weapons, we're told, but definitely an ak-47. from that position and after authorities arrived after initial calls, he exchanged gun

fire. he fired about a half dozen shots at authorities outside the school and then authorities then returned fire. after that he gave up without incident. but it was a terribly scary time there at the school. many of the kids were taken outside. some were sheltering in place in their rooms. they are now being released back to their parents. that was a long process in itself. and what we're looking at right now is a lot of anxious parents very relieved but also very upset to find out how close this came to being a very deadly situation. no motive here possibly that the chief is willing to talk about, but he did tell us that police dogs were able to get a scent of some kind of explosive on the suspect's car out in front of the school. and so that was a very dangerous situation, they believed, and they reacted to it. they are checking out the car right now. they haven't found explosives yet but they had to assume there

was. so they had to escort these kids off property by leading out the back of the school. they cut a hole in one of the fences, led them through the property behind a house to an adjoining street where they could get on the buses. so that in itself was a very tense proposition to get all of these kids moved. there's several hundred kids at this school ranging from pre-k to agreed five. talking to some of those kids with their parents as they were getting off the buses and getting reunited, some of the kids were saying some kids were very afraid, some teachers were afraid but by and large the kids stayed calm. a lot of them thought it was a fire drill. we have comments from the police chief. >> when we received the call, he's starting to fire from the inside of the school at our officers. what we knew right away is he had one or two of the staff members inside the main office. he was holding them captive.

units continued to respond. he would continue to fire upon officers. officers were able to return fire when they saw him in -- alone by himself. subsequent to all that, no one was injured. he surrendered. >> reporter: and that was the incredible aspect of all this. no one injured in this incident. that gunman with an ak-47, we're told, inside that school, exchanging gun fire with officers and again no one was hurt. but this investigation continues. >> and, david, it's almost unbelievable that no one was hurt. we are so thankful for that obviously and certainly they will be investigating what could have been a very different scene. david mattingly for us in decatur, georgia. let's go to houston where the son of the vice president joe biden is said to be undergoing testing at a world renowned

treat treatment with his family at his side. bo biden experienced an episode of weakness and disorientation. this several years after he suffered a stroke. we're also learning that president obama spoke with the vice president over the weekend to extend his best wishes. joining us now to explain this more is our senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. elizabeth, first off, what do we know about bo biden's status? >> we really don't know much. we know that he had this recent episode of disorientation and weakness. we know he's being evaluated at md anderson, which is a renowned cancer center. that's all they do. i think it is important, it is significant where he is. he is being evaluated at a cancer center. we don't know what that means,

but we do know that that's important. >> now, one of the other things we do know is that he had a mild stroke in 2010. a lot of times if someone is ill, you look back to past afflictions they've had. so we know that about him. obviously he was very young when that happened. could this be something that is related or does it seem unlikely? >> right, i mean, he's only 44 now so he was even younger when he had that stroke. it is possible that it's related. i know we don't usually think of cancer and strokes as being related but several times of cancer, including some blood cancers, can cause strokes. so it is possible that that episode is a part of a cancer. we don't know. we don't know -- all we know is that he's being evaluated at a cancer center. it's also possible the stroke is completely separate from what he's experiencing now. >> he's very young. certainly we're hoping that he is well and getting the treatment that he needs for this. elizabeth cohen, thank you very much. >> thank you.

>> parts of idaho's pristine mountain areas are ungulfed in flames this hour where two raging wildfires have already devoured more than 100,000 acres. the larger of these two fires only about 9% contained. evacuation status has been lowered in some areas and increased in others. ted, the question here, you have so many firefighters, local, national, they're on the scene. are they any closer to getting it under control? >> reporter: they are, briana. it was a good day yesterday and today seems to be a good day as well, attacking this fire with not only the thousand firefighters but they have air assets, fixed wing aircraft and you see a helicopter over here picking up some water. it has really helped a lot. the problem is this is not the only fire. there are fires scattered around the west and looking forward there are predictions of lightning storms, not only in idaho but in california and other western states. that's what they're most

concerned about. also, this fire itself has two points where they are really concentrating a lot of their of the -- efforts on the northern and southern points of it. meanwhile, 5,000 homes are in potential danger. 2,000 residents have been evacuated. some have been out of their homes for days and can't wait to get back. >> totally helpless. not sure how to thank all the firefighters that are out there. it's kind of like that movie "ground hog day," you get up, wait for news, watch the wind, watch the smoke and keep going and waiting for the lift the evac order. >> those evac orders have come for some but not for a lot of folks. still under 10% containment. at least right now we're expecting new numbers in the next few hours. >> that is so very little and it's such an endeavor they're trying to do here. what is the biggest obstacle

these fire crews are facing? >> basically any change in the weather with any fire. you have a fire this large, basically the size of denver. if the winds change dramatically or more lightning strikes come in and start a new fire that, changes the entire game. they really are crossing their fingers to have continued help from mother nature so they can get ahold of this thing. as i said, they are cautiously optimistic, much different story than it was over the weekend when this was out of control. >> certainly. as they want that humidity to go up as well. ted rowlands for us, we appreciate your report. >> when we come back, a controversial move in the wake of the benghazi attack. find out why the state department is allowing four employees put on leave to return to work. >> and injuries the sustained

liberty mutual insurance -- responsibility. what's your policy? in a controversial move, the state department is allowing four employees to return to work after being put on leave in the wake of the attack on the u.s. mission in benghazi, libya. cnn foreign affairs correspondent jill dougherty is at the state department with details. jill, what are officials giving as the explanation for why these four are coming back? >> reporter: well, brianna, remember after benghazi and secretary kerry came in as secretary of state, he ordered a comprehensive review of those four people, three of who had been on administrative leave and the other had resigned his post. that includes eric boswell. he was the assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security and charlene lamm, who is his or was his assistant secretary responsible for embassy security. so as they looked into the

behavior and work during benghazi, they found secretary kerry agreed with what had been found by the independent accountability review board and that is that there was a lack of leadership, there was a lack of management ability, but they say no breach of duty. so secretary kerry has said they're not going to be fired but they will be assigned -- reassigned to new jobs. that drew a very angry response from daryl issa. he said instead of accountability the state department offered a charade that included false reports of firings and resignations and now ends in a game of musical chairs where no one misses a single day on the state department payroll. at the briefing here at the state department with marie

harp, she gave a very strong response and here it is. >> we have to let the facts remain where they lay. we can't take action that's not warranted against them to make ourselves feel better. we owe it more to our diplomats sel serving all around the world to look at this through an independent lens, which is what the arb did. >> we're not being told precisely what those new jobs will be. that's is apparently because of personnel regulations here. but the a.r.b. and those recommendations do continue as the state department tries to carry out those 29 recommendations from the a.r.b. >> all right. this will continue to be a story and political back and forth at that. thank you for your report. >> we're also learning some chill nug ing new details about injuries sustained by accused

boston bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev before he was caught by police. he suffered a number of severe gunshot wounds, the most gruesome of those one to his face. there are some gruesome details but also very interesting details that we didn't know before. >> reporter: that's right. this is the first time that these court documents from an april 22nd bedside hearing of dzhokhar tsarnaev had been released to the public. they were unsealed by the u.s. attorney's office. i want to go through some of the most pertinent facts. they're talking about the pictures you're seeing of a wounded dzhokhar tsarnaev when he was captured by police there in watertown, massachusetts. but let's go through the details. the most severe gunshot wound, he had several severe. the most severe was a gunshot wound inside his mouth that actually exited the left side of his face. it was deemed highly powered, the injury, and it fractured his skull base, injured his middle

ear, it affected his c-1 vertebrae, his pharynx and his mouth. this on top of multiple gunshot wounds to other extremities of his body. we knew he was shot but we didn't know what the injuries were, other than that they were very serious. this helps explain why he wasn't talking very much at all because of that injury. and this is testimony given by the surgeon, the boston surgeon that operated on tsarnaev in the moments after he was captured. and it's believed that these injuries were sustained from the shoot-out that dzhokhar tsarnaev and his brother had with police in that chase in watertown. but they also could have come from gun fire that was shot around that boat when police had him surrounded. it's not known whether any of those shots hit him. but it's believed that this was from the days prior. >> poppy, does the court document say anything about

tsarnaev's state of mind while he was being questioned in the hospital? >> it does and i found that fascinating because the trauma surgeon was asked what pain medication did you give to your patient? is he in a lucid state of mind to answer our questions? this was the same hearing on april 22nd when he was read his miranda rights. i want to show you some of the things the trauma surgeon said in response to questions from the federal magistrate. he said like he "being tsarnaev" definitely knows where he is. he knows he's had multiple procedures, he knows he has injuries to the neck and the hand and then he answered he is able to responded vocally. most of which we've seen was nodding but there were a few times when he uttered the word "no." really the only word to come out

of his mouth in this was "no." this is the first detailed description we getting of the injuries sustained by dzhokhar tsarnaev after his brother died in that shoot-out with police, this is the one person that is so critical to answer the authorities' questions and that sheds more light on exactly what he endured. >> poppy harlow, thank you for that. >> now coming up, new evidence that could be a new link between former nfl player aaron hernandez and a double slaying. >> plus actor dick van dyke's narrow escape from a burning car. very scary stuff. we'll be talking to the man who helped rescue him.

left it in a car and that she had gone to visit a football player. >> and next, a republican senator and possible presidential contender wants you to know that he's an american through and through. we have details of this unusual and dramatic move by ted cruz. plus, the mysterious surge in dolphin deaths. why are so many of them dying along the u.s. east coast? my mantra? trust your instincts to make the call. to treat my low testosterone,

happening now, u.s. senator and possible white house contender ted cruz renounces his citizenship but not from the u.s. also, a spike in dolphin deaths on the u.s. east coast baffling and worrying marine scientists. what's killing the animals by the dozens. also, we will talk to a man who helped pull 87-year-old dick van dyke from this burning car. wolf blitzer is off today. i'm briana keilar and you are in "the situation room." he's one of the biggest rising stars in the gop and a potential contender for 2016. now amid all of the buzz freshman texas senator ted cruz is taking another bold step to put any questions about his american heritage to rest by renouncing his alleged canadian citizenship. the move comes after a report in the "dallas morning news" speculating that the tea party favorite who was born in canada

to an american mother and a cuban father might actually abdul citizen of both of u.s. and canada. cruz released his birth certificate over the weekend and chief political correspondent candy crowley is in dallas where she's about to set down with cruz for an interview. what do you think we're going to hear? >> reporter: well, i think we're going to hear that he just thought that this was a good thing to do to renounce his canadian citizenship to clear up any lingering questions there might be. i think you will hear the skeptics say he really wanted to get this off the table so if he should run for president, so many people think he wants to, that it's not an issue. you clear it up two years ahead of time. i think i would also mention to you that right now the senator is concentrated on efforts to defund obama care, which is what he's doing in dallas tonight. so maybe he wanted a conversation off the table so he could have the conversation he

wanted. nonetheless, he said i've got nothing about canada but i'm an american citizen. >> also, candy, it's creating you could say a somewhat humorous situation as well. you've seen a lot of jokes about this obviously in the past, the issue over president obama's birth certificate as well has led to a lot of jokes and also some serious moments. i'm wondering if that's lost on the senator. or are you going to ask him about that? >> reporter: well, sure i will because obviously in a more serious mode i think the president's citizenship is to this day still be challenged by some who don't believe the lengthy birth form that he did release eventually. i don't think it's quite the same here. this is something that came up pretty early and cruz was well aware of it, but, again, it's not something you want to have

dominate the discussion, whether it's the humor or whether it's any serious way. you want to kind of get it off the table. so this is obviously something that i guess if you're a critic of ted cruz, you might want to pound home. but it doesn't at this point he would just really like i think the conversation to stop and i think that's why he's put out his birth certificate. >> certainly. i imagine as you interview him, he'll be trying to talk a lot more and steer the conversation towards obama care and his dislike over it. we certainly await that interview. candy crowley in dallas, thank you. >> and now to san diego where there were rumors that embattled mayor bob filner may return to work now. it's 16 women who have come forward accusing him of inappropriate behavior, some of it graphic. calls for his resignation have said to reach a fever pitch. have you seen the mayor today and do you know if he's back at

work? >> reporter: well, what we do know, a lot of people expected he might return to work this morning. we waited outside city all all morning for him and he did not show up. sources inside said they did not see him inside. the closest we've seen to seeing the mayor is seeing his suv where he's normally dropped off. two members of his security detail went inside city hall and came back out without saying a word to reporters. he's been inside and at least for part of the day inside the building behind me where negotiations are going on. a retired federal judge is leading mediations involving irene mccormick jackson and her attorney, they were here yesterday, gloria allred and two members of the city council, the san diego city attorney trying to negotiate what happens in bob filner's future. so far no resolution to that.

they negotiated for about ten hours yesterday. they've been going at it for my or six today. we're not expecting any word from anybody on how those negotiations are progressing because that retired federal judge, the mediator, has placed a gag order, if you will, on those proceedings. >> casey wi awian in san diego. >> we're learning the democratic national committee will formally vote on a resolution calling for mayor filner to resign. it stresses the democratic party condemns anybody who create as hostile work environment or engages in sexually harassing behavior toward women or men. donna brazile is one of the resolution's authors. we'll be talking to her just ahead. and we've made a big commitment to america. bp supports nearly 250,000 jobs here.

let's talk more now about the report first on cnn that the democratic national committee will vote this week to call on san diego mayor bob filner to resign. joining to us talk about this, cnn chief national correspondent john king, also cnn commentator and democratic strategist donna brazile. she's one of the authors of that resolution as well as jim garrity. i got your name right this time. >> kudos. >> we just heard about the resolution the dnc will vote on. you authored it. this is becoming a huge thorn in the side of national democrats. >> it's a thorn in the side of

any woman who is harassed by any man, any person, any time. sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination outlawed by title 7 of the 1964 civil rights act. bob filner has been called upon by san diego democrats, by leader pelosi, but our chair of the party, debbie wasserman-schultz and we decided it was time for the national party to call upon him to resign and also we want to go one step farther. we want to tell people in san diego sign a petition, recall him. it's time for him to go. >> but, jim, you look and a lot of the members of your party look at what's going on and you say, well, democrats, you have some problems and you're probably happy tharp not yours. >> he is a decorated colonel in the war on women. i salute donna from bringing her party to the position -- they're up to, what, 16 women now? after a while it becomes a clear

pattern of behavior. his first explanation that he was just a big hugger -- >> there are republican problems, too, in terms of women. sexual harassment, again, it's a form of sex discrimination. it's illegal, it's bad, it's reprehensible. these allegations by 16 women, bob filner, who i used to know, need to go. >> it's baffling to so many people he's still hanging on. john, to you, we heard what senator cruz said. i looked it up online. he said he may be canadian. can he be president and is he handling this the right way? >> any constitutional expert has

looked at the ted cruz situation, john mccain was born in panama. the constitutional scholar said there is no question, he is qualified to run for president. his mother was born in the united states. he happened to be born outside the country but to a natural born citizens. most scholars say that's it. we had the silly season about the birther movement. maybe early on there were legitimate questions because of his unusual background but once they were answered, anything after that i viewed as closet racism, they were just going after the president. ted cruz thinks from the left for sport they'll go after him. i asked a prominent republican today would this matter in republican politics? would there be a down side to him if he had dual citizenship? canadian law is if you're born there, you're a citizen. a top conservative strategist said it's best to clean this up, get it over with, that he's a different kind of candidate anyway because of his

background, j u.s. like president obama was a different kind of candidate. seems silly but -- >> it's ann coulter, the donald trump, it republicans in this neobirther movement that's silly that's calling on ted cruz to renounce his canadian citizenship. it's believe 192 people renounce their citizenship every year in canada. i'm sure the canadians will not miss him. >> syrup gate -- >> i love it. >> he has to -- >> can't say ay. >> that is also american i feel to go to a hockey game. let's move on to the story i feel to be one of the most entertaining of the day, a lot of people may not know. >> and i love canada, i want the record to reflect. >> maine governor paul lepage,

he's always putting his foot in his mouth, he reportedly said that president obama hates white people, according to two maine newspapers. they're citing unnamed sources. i believe republicans who were at a maine republican party event. let's play a clip, though, of what he told reporters about this. >> i'm sorry, i'm late for a meeting. >> can you tell us what you said? >> no, i never said that and you guys are all about gossip. >> so but true or not, it's almost like you can believe, jim, that he might have said -- he has said some things in the past, he has said when asked about the naacp in 2011 on a certain issue, if they questioned his decision, he said tell them to kiss my butt. he compared the irs to the gestapo once. he just does all of these kind of like very colorful things that he frequently is apologizing for. >> there's an excellent possibility by november 2014 when he is next up for reelection, this may not be in

the top ten most controversial things paul lepage has ever said. he's the only person in washington who can make joe biden look disciplined and on message. he won by a unique tea party environment of 2010. maine has always been a quirky state, it's got an independent senator. this may not play very well. the good news is he's got a couple months and about a year and a half to make his campaign about something besides -- >> doesn't he know when he's talking about an issue of race? >> we're days away from the 50th commemoration of the historic 1963 march on washington where dr. king delivered that important speech "i have a dream" where he talked about the content of our character and not the color of our skin. i can't think of anything, just if you look at the words, true or not true that president obama heights white peop hates white people, where is that coming from? that is crazy. but ever since 2002 we have to

have these moments where we have to have a racial debate. i'm not going to do that. >> you have two stories based on anonymous sources. rare is it that somebody doesn't have a recording, just ask mitt romney. the governor said he didn't do it. the reason it has creedins denc because of what he said in the past. it further undermines people's faith and trust in their leaders. across this country you have this disgust, which is bipartisan at the moment. z >> it's not just politics, it's everywhere. including the media. >> thank you so much. a perfect season capped by a super bowl victory. so what if it was, what, 40 years ago? well, much of the 1972 miami

doll finance te dolphins team, they showed up at the white house to be honored by president obama. it was the culmination of a 15-year writing campaign by marv fleming. l -- their unprecedented record came before the current accolades. your patriots, they almost made it. >> i say congratulations to the dolphins and congratulations to the president of the united states for taking the step to bring them in. i wish my patriots had an undefeated season, they lost it at the last moment, which is proof of how hard it is to do. this team has an amazing legacy, they never should have had to wait this long. >> it was a special moment to see today. i think a lot of people watching it really enjoyed it. >> i look forward to the new orleans saints being with the president next year. >> i'm sure do you, donna. >> thank you so much. coming up, good samaritans pull

government scientists are raising a red flag about a sudden surge of dying doll fphi along the u.s. east coast. the death rate is seven times higher than normal and no one

can say why. >> reporter: brianna, experts say dolphins are the centennials of health and if they're getting sick and dying, there could well be a larger they're among the most resilient and beloved creatures to roam the seas. >> look! >> reporter: but something in the water is killing bottle nosed dolphins. at the moment it's a mystery. >> we're seeing animals with joint problems. we're not seeing animals feeding normally. a lot of them are thin. >> reporter: and dead by the time marine authorities find them. more than 200 dead bottle nose dolphins have washed ashore this summer. in virginia the count is around 80 just for this month alone. mostly along the chesapeake bay shoreline. pollution or bacteria could be possible causes of this die-off.

but at the national aquarium in baltimore, i asked brett whittaker about it. >> we don't know exactly what's causing it, but we think it's a virus. >> reporter: a pathogen that's been deadly before. it killed 700 dolphins between new york and florida in 1987 and '88. experts say it doesn't spread between humans and dolphins. how do these spread so quickly among dolphins? dolphins are very social creatures breathing on each other, swimming with each other, that's a way to transmit illness. they also feed on the same food at the same time. whittaker and i do a quick exam on bo, a young male. >> feel the teeth there. nice, nice sharp teeth. we look under the tongue, make sure -- some of the viruses cause lesions under the tongue.

>> reporter: we check where the liver and other organs are. >> look at that. we've got mucus. we take it to the laboratory, do special stains and we look at the cells which tells us about what's going on inside. >> reporter: that and a clear eye tell us bo is healthy. as for those out in the open water who are affected -- >> can anything be done to end this or stem it at all? >> the reality is wild populations with an extensive disease like this could be difficult for us to help at all. >> reporter: that's because dolphins migrate so fast by the time experts figure what's wrong and catch them and treat them, this so-called mortality event might be over. still experts are worried that this will spread further south very quickly. because this is the time of year that atlantic bottle nosed dolphins are migrated south. >> thank you, brian. when we come back, we will hear from one of the good

take a look at the charred remains of this jaguar. it's a car that actually belongs or belonged -- what's left it of, anyways -- to dick van dyke. the 87-year-old actor and his wife were inside on a southern california freeway when it caught fire. they pulled over, the car burst into flames. but passers by came to the rescue and pulled them out. van dyke is slightly embarrassed, but he's fine and certainly very appreciative of the people who helped. jason pennington is one of those people. he came to his rescue. he's joining me now from los

angeles. we see the car, jason. i mean, it's in -- it was a catastrophic, obviously, situation. take us through this where you first see this car and obviously you don't know it's dick van dyke but you said it was your wife that spotted something was the matter. >> yes, absolutely. we were just going furniture shopping driving down the freeway, and it's not uncommon when it's hot out in southern california to see a car on fire on the side of the road. but what was odd was nobody was standing around it. and there were flames coming out of the hood. and a lot of smoke and as we drove by, it was my wife who said somebody's inside that car. and they're hunched over. and i said you've got to be kidding. i looked in my rearview mirror and there was still nobody coming. so there was an onramp next to me, so i turned and went up the onramp to get as close as i could to the car. ran across the grass and sure

enough, there was somebody in there. and i opened the door and it was smokey, very smokey in the car. the flames were large but not that big. and the gentleman inside just kept saying i'm okay, i'm okay. i said yes, but you've got to get out of the car. he said no, i'm okay. he was trying to put his stuff together. i think he spilled a bag or something. once i felt the flames, they got big and the whole front of the car was on fire, that's when i just yanked him out by his arm. because you don't want to lay hands on anybody or be forceful, but when i could feel the heat, i just pulled him out. he kind of stumbled to his feet and he smiled. and i said we need to walk away from the car. and he smiled again. i said you're dick van dyke and he said yes, i am. what's your name. i said jason. can we just keep walking away from the car? he seemed a little disoriented. very nice. like no problem. so we walked away. then another gentleman, i never got his name.

he was an offduty emt, he was barefoot and ran over at that point. we sat him down and he looked over at the car and he said is that my car on fire. it was completely engulfed in flames. we said yes. he said i just got that out of the shop. he was the nicest, calmest guy. i don't think he realized anything. >> that's unbelievable. especially it's sort of funny that even in that state where if you hadn't been there, this could have been a very different story. sort of had a comedic moment there. i do want to point this out. one, not only are you a good man to come to the aid of a fellow human being. sometimes people don't pull up to help someone. but an element of this is you were paying it forward. someone helped your wife out a couple weeks ago. tell me about that. >> absolutely. my wife was in a really bad motorcycle accident. we ride motorcycles.

she was hit on very close to the same freeway by a hit and run driver, thrown off her bike, punctured lung, broken ribs. >> i have 15 seconds left. so just please tell us about the good samaritan that helped your wife. i really want to point that out. >> yeah. it was a doctor. he blocked lanes. he went to her aid. and another samaritan chased down the man who fled the scene and caught him. so when the pay it forward -- i wasn't thinking that when i was getting dick out of the car. it was my daughter who said you paid it forward. >> jason, thank you so much for doing that. such a great story. thanks for being on with us today. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> and that's it for me now. the next hour of "the situation room" begins with my colleague jake tapper. >> happening now, murder charges in the killing of a promising college basketball -- baseball player. police say the teenage suspects simply were bored. plus who's to blame nor

extreme weather? scientists are convinced more than ever. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. wolf blitzer is off today. i'm jake tapper and you are in "the situation room." it's being called the senseless attack, but that doesn't even really begin to describe a killing so apparently random and deeply disturbing. three teenagers were in court today in oklahoma accused of gunning down a 23-year-old australian student who happened to be jogging by. the teens had nothing better to do and they wanted to see someone die. alina machado is following this story. tell us about the charges filed today. >> reporter: we just got these court documents. they show two of the teens are facing felony charges. the third is accused of being an

accessory after the fact. all three went before a judge just hours ago in a case that has sent shock waves across the world. >> you just can't imagine it happening in this neighborhood. >> reporter: shock and disbelief in the small oklahoma town where chris lane, an australian student was gunned down in what police say was a random attack. 15-year-old james edwards jr. and 16-year-old chancy luna are charged with felony murder. michael jones is facing two charges including accessory after the fact in the first degree. authorities say the teens were on a mission to kill. supposedly just for the thrill of it. >> they witnessed the young man run by on the street. chose him as a target. >> reporter: chief danny ford says lane was out jogging friday afternoon when the teens drove up and shot him in the back. >> there was some people that saw him stagger across the road,

go to a kneeling positioning with and then collapse on the side of the road. >> reporter: a woman ran to lane and tried to help by performing cpr. another witness dialed 911. lane was taken to a local hospital where he died. police say one of the teens told investigators details of the killing and where they could find the murder weapon. thousands of miles away in australia, lane's father shared the family's heart break. >> there's not going to be any good come out of this. because it was just so senseless. it's happened, it's wrong, and we just try and deal with it the best we can. >> reporter: tens of thousands of people have liked the rest in peace christopher lane facebook page. sending thoughts and prayers to the loved ones. lane's murder has sparked outrage here in the u.s. >> united states is deeply

saddened to hear the tragic news of the death of an australian citizen in oklahoma. >> reporter: and in australia, tim fisher released this statement cautioning australians about going to america. he says in part tourists thinking of going to the usa should think twice. i am deeply angry about this. not just because of the callous attitude of the three teenagers, but it's a sign of the proliferation of the guns on the ground in the usa. now, lane was on a baseball scholarship at east central university. we just got a statement from the head baseball coach there describing lane as an extremely well respected teammate who was a shining example of the school's baseball program. he ended the statement by saying quote, i pray that his soul receives the light he deserves. >> thank you. we're joined on the phone right now by the duncan oklahoma police chief danny ford. thank you for being with us. three teens were charged today in connection with the murder. this murder is thought to be a

random act of violence. but what with can you tell us about the motive? >> reporter: i think pretty well all the information is out on how it occurred. certainly i try to answer any questions that you might have, but i think the charging today puts the -- puts kind of the not just a period but a comma in our job here. and we got it to the judiciary system. that's our job. >> have you been able to talk to these teens? >> our investigators have talked with all three of them. two of them obviously are not talking, but there's a third one that has given us the information that you reported there. >> what do you know about their background? do they have any sort of history of violence? >> they have some -- some of the teens have juvenile backgrounds. of course, juvenile records on them are part of sealed information, so i'm not real familiar with what the situation was. i know one of them was reporting

to a state agency for some of those problems. >> do you have any idea where the weapons used in the crime came from? >> no. we sure wish we did. the one that talked to us gave us the location of where they left it. and it was not out in the open. it wasn't in some place where no one would find it. i believe they left it in the apartment complex with other people. so we've been -- that's probably the biggest disappointment to us that we've not found the weapon yet. but we're not through. >> is this kind of violence, this random nihilistic violence a problem in your community? >> no. i think that's what everybody needs to understand. i think in the last five years, we've had three or four murders, but this is -- nothing like this. nothing that was apparently for no reason or reason of sheer boredom. >> this murder in your small city with a very small

population just under 24,000, it's gained global attention largely because it was an australian baseball player. what do you say to australians about your community? and have you spoken at all to his family? >> what we've done with the family basically we tried to -- if you get too many people giving information to the family, so what we've done is have a couple people giving them information. so that we don't have everybody from the department calling there. and they have spoken with them. in fact, did again last night. brought them totally up to date with what was going to occur today. so they've been outraged, the community has some fear. i think they have some of the same questions that maybe folks in australia have. that's about how did the kids get guns. simple. they steal them. the shotgun that we found in the car which was not involved in

the incident had the serial number ground off. it was obviously hidden in the vehicle. it was under the spare tire in the compartment. that's a pretty good indication that those weapons have been taken illegally. >> one final question before you go, sir. can you give us any idea about the parenting of these kids. do they come from two-family homes? are their parents outraged, shocked, surprised? >> i can just go by what i've read in the local media about the parents. i know that one of them has a parent that is incarcerated. i know that the others have -- one of them has a two-parent home or at least that's what the indication is. but i don't know a whole lot about the family situation. >> all right. police chief danny ford, thank you for your time. we appreciate it. >> you bet. not a problem. now to georgia. we have new information about shots that rang out at an elementary school and a suspect now in custody.

david mattingly is just outside zblerpz most remarkable thing about this incident is that no one was hurt. parents now, hundreds of them, having taken their kids home now thinking about what might have been and thinking about how tragic this could have been. right now authorities are telling us exactly how this played out. a gunman, a lone gunman carrying an ak-47 was able to get into the school by going through when the door was still open after it was buzzed open for someone else. he went in that way, went into the office. held a couple of the office personnel hostage. then as police arrived, he exchanged gunfire with them firing about a half dozen times at the officers. they returned fire, and then this gunman described only as a 19-year-old man gave himself up without incident from there. you can imagine how tense and how scared everyone at that school was. particularly after the man was taken into custody, then they found his car out in the parking lot and one of the police dogs

was able to get a sniff of something that could be explosives. and from that point, the police chief said they had to be even more careful with the children's lives. listen. >> upon further investigation what we learned that the vehicle that he came in was parked in front of the vehicles and when our k-9 dogs hit the vehicle, we suspect it may have been some type of explosives inside the vehicle. >> reporter: needless to say, they're being very careful about proceeding with that car. but they are looking at it very slowly, very methodically. no word yet on if there were any explosives inside. jake? >> david mattingly, thanks so much. coming up next, the role humans play in global warming. and was president obama accused of hating white people

what's your policy? parts of idaho's pristine mountain areas are engulfed in flames this hour where two raging wildfires have taken over 100,000 acres already. let's bring in chad myers. >> you know, you have to watch what you ask for when we want help from mother nature across these wildfire areas. if you get too much rainfall too quickly over the burn areas, one right there, one right there, you could actually get the land to start to slide. it's because when a fire burns a forest, the dirt on the bottom of the ground here about a couple inches down becomes what we call hydrophobic. almost turns to concrete. the first couple inches that doesn't turn hydrophobic could slide off there and that's what we call debris flows or into the mudslides here. we don't have that right now,

but sometimes when you get rain, you get lightning. look at all the strikes across the northwest. the lightning caused the fires in the first place. 3.4 million acres of land have burned so far in 2013. normal, 5.4. look at this number. there have been 31,986 fires total. this isn't helping at beaver creek. this fire's not going out any time soon. it cools off a little and there's a chance for rain. but not the rainfall we need. take a look at this graphic. and i know we've been talking about how much it's raining across the southeast. and atlanta, georgia, has picked up 50 inches of rain this year. boise has picked up 4, 4.5. idaho falls, 2.44 inches of rain this year. not just this month. all the way through from january until now. that's why there's fires and why it's dry. . >> thank you so much.

>> you're welcome. scientists were 90% certain humans are causing global warming when a united nations panel issued a climate change report in 2007. now they say they're 95% certain. that's the new figure, anyway, in an upcoming report. tom foreman is combing through it. >> reporter: this really is big news for people following this debate on both sides for a long time. climate change, the that is correct greenhouse gases are trapping heat from outside. and they're correct. they're 90% saying that human activity is responsible for the preponderance of this. they are saying there are other factors, but the preponderance of it is from humans doing this. what is the result of all this? rising oceans. why? because we have warmer oceans and those warmer oceans are causing melting icecaps. and beyond that, melting of glaciers and other ice areas in the world. for example, greenland. i want you to watch this amazing

piece of animation from greenland here. you see all the light blue areas on the edge, that's where the ice has been steady melting and retreating. as you go on through the years, this is about 2005 here. you start seeing even the middle of the country here as it starts warming up and they're losing more and more ice. by the time you get through this entire animation, what you see a nasa captured how basically this entire area has seen significant loss in ice all of which goes out into the oceans, jake. and that's the real key here, the concern about what's that's going to add up to. >> what about the effects here? >> let's look at that. you look at miami down here. that's where miami is right here. it's hard to see. but i want you to watch. as this progresses, what they're predicting is over the next 80

or 90 years if nothing changes, what you would see is a real encroachment. areas like this down here where you have the florida keys. they would go completely under water. and would be effected by much higher water levels. even if you go up to major cities like new york city, for example. this is the island of manhattan right here. this is the edge of it. and you could see that's where the new edge would be. all of this out in here would be lost. what would that include? the truth is out there you would see things like wall street going under water. you would see the statue of liberty. starting to go under water. does that mean it'll happen? no. we have a lot of time in which people could build levees and things to build it back. but it would be a genuine problem if this goes on unabated. that's what this is all about. now there's a greater agreement among all these climate scientists from around the world that, in fact, humans are making some of this happen and only

humans can stop it from happening worse. >> all right, tom foreman, thank you. coming up, it's a great learning experience but white house interns are now pushing to get paid. also at the white house, a magic moment in sports history four decades in the making.

there's growing pressure on employers across america to pay their interns. the newest target? president obama. white house interns traditionally work long hours without pay. now some say they can't afford it. cnn money reporter emily fox was

an unpaid white house intern is few years ago. she joins me now. welcome. what did they tell you about why the interns should get paid? >> reporter: well, they're saying that the president has been stumping for months for a higher minimum wage, yet at the same time he has people working for free in the white house. so they're asking the president to step up and set an example for other employers. >> why ask all of this mounting now? >> reporter: well, it's really been the summer of the unpaid intern. we've seen a number of interns take their former employers to court at places. and it's coming to a head because young people can't afford to work for free when they're staring mountains of student loans in the face. they're saying that this is the only way to get their foot in the door, but it's really putting them in a tough spot. >> also, of course, there are those who argue that it discriminates against those people only allowing those who can afford to work for free to have these opportunities.

you are a former white house intern. what specifically were your responsibilities and how did you and other interns pay for things? >> reporter: yeah. i worked in the white house as an intern in the department of cabinet affairs in the summer of 2010. and i have to say it was the most interesting jop i've ever had. my present job excluded mostly because i got to see the white house. it cost me several thousands of dollars just to live and work there. many employer -- many former interns have to rely on their families for support and many rack up a serious amount of debt just to be a white house intern. so it's a tough spot. >> emily fox, thank you so much. next, a cabinet level meeting on the future of u.s. aid to egypt. but the white house says the reports about it are wrong. and the governor of maine denies making a stinging remark about president obama. so what did he actually say?

room." president obama held a cabinet level meeting today on the future of u.s. aid to egypt. the administration is reviewing its financial help as egypt reels from violence. no decisions have yet been made. >> that review that the president ordered in early july has not concluded. and reports to the contrary that reports -- published reports to the contrary that suggest that assistance to egypt has been cut off are not accurate. >> but some officials on capitol hill say they were told that aid to egypt is on hold. let's bring in jessica yellin. jessica, what are you learning about that? >> reporter: well, jake, one u.s. official tells me although the administration will not call events in egypt a coup, they're behaving as though that's exactly what happened and

withholding assistance to the country. as you know, the white house disputes that and they're saying some money is still going to egypt. in fact, at the white house briefing today, deputy press secretary josh earnest was not specific about what kind of money is going to egypt and instead tried to talk about the larger goals with the aid and even define how aid works. here's josh ernest. >> while that broader package of assistance is under review, there are some smaller packages that have moved forward. one of the things the administration is doing is trying to preserve some -- can present the president with options. it's not like the faucet is turned on. >> we understand that. >> but it's not a faucet. >> reporter: so the faucet's not turned on because it's not a faucet.

what is clear is the white house is not going to make any official pronouncements about aid until this review here is complete. the bottom line is with the delicate situation in egypt, they're just mindful of the words they're using from the podium. so they're being very careful about what they say and obviously saying something very different to officials behind the scenes. >> i appreciate the clarity on the faucet issue. jessica yellin, thank you very much from the white house. now to egypt and the bloody power struggle through the interim military government and opponents in the muslim brotherhood. our senior international correspondent nick paton walsh joins us. the military there is getting the upper hand. what's the latest? >> reporter: it's very quiet again on the streets. we have had a series of arrests in the past 24 hours. prominent amongst them the spiritual leader of the muslim brotherhood picked up by police

in the house of a school teacher. that school teacher home was searched. weapons confiscated. they say police equipment that was seized by militants during a raid on a nearby police station, the brotherhood moves swiftly to say the charges against him are all trumped up. but the real issue here is the government being much more successful in painting the brotherhood as terrorists. they seem oblivious to outside criticism. and we've seen really most importantly despite about a hundred arrests and including the most senior leader of the brotherhood, they have not called their people back out onto the streets to protest. that's the difference here. we're not sure if it's because they're regrouping or because they lack enthusiasm at the ground level here, but really they could be simply going understood ground. >> nick, we have been -- we in the united states have been blamed for being on the side of the muslim brotherhood. we have been blamed for being on the side of mubarak, of the

current military. when you are out there in the streets, do people think that we're just on the side of whatever they are against? is there any sense that anyone thinks that the u.s. is on their side? >> reporter: no. there's little rationality in the conversations of the people on the street. the pro-morsi people are friendly to media people because their own access to the outside world has been cut off. they see you as a way of telling their story. although they're broadly suspicious of the u.s. and the west. the anti-morsi crowds, they're very anti-the u.s. because they consider the u.s. in support of morsi. it's a delicate situation out here. as you can see, it's why the u.s. are tread sog carefully. whatever they say upsets somebody. the reason you and jessica had to pass the state department's

message so carefully is they're trying not to say anything right now. then really continue businesses a usual. as the end of the day, they simply need each other. washington really needing this strategic ally for the ability to function in this region as efficiently as it does at the moment. >> before i let you go, you've been to a lot of dangerous places. how safe is it for you to walk the streets of cairo? >> reporter: it's pretty tricky at the moment. we don't get around to film very much. when you do try filming, we filmed at a mosque recently. and within minutes of being there, there are people asking what are you doing? why are you here? and you have to leave, frankly, because the problem with this city is when crowds gather around you, that's when tension builds. i've had colleagues who have been attacked in e in past few days. i feel there's a real sense of people turning on the foreign media because they believe them in the eyes of those pro-military intervention to be behind the negative looks here.

>> all right, nick paton walsh, be safe. thank you for your report. coming up next, maine republicans engage in damage control even though the governor is denying an outrageous remark about the president. coming up next. but first as we count down to the return of cnn's "crossfire," take a look at this vintage clip from the cnn "crossfire" archives. >> one of the earliest crossfires was also one of the most controversial. the guest was the grand wizard of the ku klux klan. >> you're against the thing that makes this country a unity and makes this country great. i think you're a disgrace. >> you know nothing about what i believe. >> i just heard what you believe. >> we've had more racial problems -- >> you're a damn disgrace to the country. >> no. >> oh, yes, you are. and you know what? you people were beaten, beaten,

the republican governor of maine is responding to reports that he publicly accused president obama of hating white people. jim acosta has more on that. jim? >> reporter: as you know, maine's governor has had controversy before, but he is denying reports of a remark he

allegedly made about president obama. inside maine's capitol building, reporters were on the chase because paul lepage had reportedly stepped in it again. lepage was quoted by unnamed sources as telling a gop fund raiser last week president obama, quote, hates white people. he insists that's false. >> can you tell us what you said? >> no, i never said that. and you guys are all about gossip. >> reporter: still, the state's gop leaders have gone into damage control. the spokesman for the party points to what the chairman told one reporter while he didn't hear the comment in question, governor lepage said he had a chance to unify the country on race but didn't do anything. then there was this photo features lepage and the family and a student from haiti they raised for a decade.

whether his comments are on obama care -- >> you must buy health insurance or pay the new gestapo, the irs. >> reporter: or on drk lawmakers. >> he's the first one to give it to the people. >> reporter: it's no wonder it was written in june he was embarrassed. the governor's behavior is something i've never seen in maine politics and could never imagine coming from a republican. and it's not the message top republicans want to hear in washington. after the rnc just last week tried to spread the word that it hopes to be more inclusive. >> the republican party is a party open for everyone. >> reporter: lepage whose advisers blame the paper for the story say he is running for re-election next year but will do without the backing of the

party as one said he speaks his mind and sometimes he says things. >> he does. he definitely says things. that's an undeniable fact. let's take a quick look at some of the other top stories in "the situation room." surprising new details about journalist michael hastings of rolling stone in the coroner's report. rules his death an accident. the war reporter died in a fiery park crash in june. toxicology testst found small amounts of methamphetamine and marijuana in his system. hastings may have been battling drug addiction. he had relatives hoping he would go to rehab. popular and prolific write elmore leonard has died. people loved his characters and so did characters which brought "get shorty" and others to the big screen. he was 87 years old. shares of barnes & noble

tumbled today after there was a big loss after the chairman dropped the business to buy the retail part of the business. the stock was off as much as 16%. ended the day down 12%. last quarter barnes & noble lost $87 million. more than double the loss from the same period last year. heartwarming pictures of beaming new parents and their baby and even the dogs not good enough for a future king of england say some critics. the duke and duchess of cambridge broke with tradition with pictures snapped by kate's father instead of professional photographers. that brought a lot of social media sniping about the focus, lighting, and more. up next, nfl legend larry zonka takes us to the scene as the legends are finally honored at the white house. and move over bo, we're on the move with the obamas' new dog. ♪

this was a big day at the white house for the sports fan in chief. and for the only super bowl champs in nfl history to remain undefeated all season. president obama hosted members of the 1972 miami dolphins, an honor that took four decades to finally happen. >> reporter: this is what perfection looks like. meet the 1972 miami dolphins. today 41 years after they accomplished perfection, the only undefeated nfl team in

history finally had their day at the white house. >> i know some of them are a little harder to recognize these days. you know, they don't have the afros or the mutten chops, the fu manchus. >> reporter: some disagreed with the politics of the president so they didn't go. >> even though you're a bears fan, we understand you have to root for somebody. >> reporter: but many of them have remarkably remained a team. bonded by history. >> each and every time that perfect record has been challenged, team after team has fallen short. but these dolphins didn't always get the credit they deserved. >> reporter: it's a trip that may not have happened if not for the former tight end mark fleming who spent years talking to public officials trying to get some presidential love for his old team. >> i talked to congress people,

mayors, governors. i talked to everybody who was involved at the white house. >> reporter: his battle cry, why not us? it's a good question. why not the '72 dolphins? in case you haven't heard, they're kind of a big deal. the team coached by don shula capped a 17-0 season. it's a feat no other team has been able to accomplish since. the dolphins famously or insufferbly break out a champagne toast when the last undefeated team loses their game each season. still today, no respect from washington, d.c. so why weren't they honored after running the table in '72? well, for one, president nixon was jowls deep in the watergate scandal at the time. back then while there was no tradition of teams at the white house, just two weeks before the dolphins beat them at the super bowl, nixon did invite george allen to a ceremony in the rose

garden. legend has it nixon even called a key play nor the redskins in 1971. perhaps it was a trick play. there's even a tape of nixon and allen talking football after the redskins beat the cowboys that year. >> you were 15 points behind. and when your offense just wouldn't do a thing. you know, i thought you were dead. >> reporter: but today the present white house made good. settling for a 40-year-old grudge. giving the perfect team a chance to finally be america's team. >> congratulations to the miami dolphins. >> let's bring in right now one of the most famous players from the undefeated 1972 dolphins hall of famer and fullback larry zonka. it is an honor. thanks for joining us. >> good o to be here. >> we're used to seeing teams go through the white house all the time to celebrate with the president. you guys are kind of a big deal. is this an important event for you?

>> i think so. it's any reason we have after some 40 or 41 years to get together is always appreciated. the fact we were called to the white house made it even more special. >> what's a bigger deal? being inducted in the hall of fame or this? which one is bigger? >> that's a pretty tough comparison. i don't know if either is bigger. within the confines of the game, certainly the hall of fame is bigger. as far as the public is concerned and the following of the team, going to the white house is bigger in that respect. >> some of your former teammates decided not to attend today because they really don't like president obama's policies and politics. what's your take on that? >> well, that's a political issue. some of the fellas, this is a country where you have your freedom of speech and freedom to do what you want to do.

i think that's evxemplified by them not coming. we kind of got a hoot out of being asked to come to the white house and meet the president of the united states. >> there's been a lot of talk about why nixon didn't invite you. obviously he was a huge redskins fan. and he had coach allen to the white house two weeks before the super bowl. what's your take on why nixon didn't have you guys come? >> well, i think president nixon certainly had his own reasons. i don't know what they were. but i think that was also a time before it was really a regular thing to bring a super bowl champions to the white house. so while in some respects it may seem like we were neglected. i don't necessarily feel that way. i think it was even neater to be 40 or 41 years later, the unique situation that was more unique than coming to the white house coming to celebrate with the unique president we have right now. >> one of my favorite things about the '72 dolphins is you

have a champagne toast when the last undefeated team loses every year. you came close a couple years ago. before the patriots lost the super bowl, they were undefeated. do you think that you will ever see another undefeated team? >> i hope not. i hope not to see another undefeated team. but certainly if it happens, you have to recognize the fact. in '85 it was the bears. a few years ago it was the new england patriots. seems like there's always someone knocking at the door trying to climb the mountain. but right now, we're still alone setting on the peak. >> of course in '85 the bears would have been undefeated if it wasn't for a certain team from miami. >> the coach brought that up to the president about him being a bears fan. and he asked the president what team was that that beat the bears that year. always had great timing. >> it was of course the miami dolphins. thank you so much for your time. congratulations 41 years later. >> thank you, jake. move over bo.

liberty mutual insurance -- responsibility. what's your policy? a major shakeup at the white house. at least in the pet department. the obamas got another one. here's cnn's jeanie moas. >> reporter: now that there's a second first dog, maybe old-timer bo could give newcomer sunny some advice. for instance, expect humans to mix up the two of us for awhile. >> that's the new one. >> no, that's the old one. >> i don't know. i don't know who bo is. >> the old one has the white paws. >> you're calling me old? but you're right about the white. some dos and don'ts. don't do what i did and bark at

a big guy in a red suit. >> he hasn't seen santa before. quiet. >> reporter: don't slobber on the white house windows. and don't expect your mistress to keep your most intimate secrets. >> he loves to chew on people's feet. >> reporter: do jump up on her lap. even if she says not to, she secretly loves it. pretty soon you'll grow out of that lame stuffed flamingo and learn the best chew toys are what the people get sound with. probably make you star in holiday videos. just try not to leave any presents under the tree. and sunny, be prepared to wear goofy hats or even worse, goofy ears. that's what i get for barking at him. and this is what i had to wear to promote the easter egg roll. do not trust the media. barbara walters once complained i couldn't shake her hand.

>> i said jokingly he's not so smart. okay? >> reporter: well look who got a call from my mistress. >> it was mrs. obama, would i cut out where i said that bo wasn't too smart. >> reporter: though reporters can be insulting, don't do what president bush's barney did to one. >> did he get you? >> i got bit by barney. >> reporter: remember when our master says no, he sometimes means maybe. like when he told his daughters -- >> i will say that for now one dog's probably enough. >> reporter: well, here you are. and we can't fight all the time like the clintons' cat sox did with buddy. that's president clinton trying to bring about peace. forget sox and buddy, you and i will be buddies as long as you remember who the first first dog is. >> and then there's bo. >> reporter: cnn, new york. one final programming note. my special rept
