>> he has his own song. i'm see you in new york tomorrow. back to you guys. everyone keeps coming to florida. i don't know why. thank you. >> safe travels, brian, great job. thank them all for us. >> that's it for us. let's go to "america's newsroom," bill and dana live in new york. >> bill: good show and good morning, everybody. even a day to honor america's fallen heroes not safe from violent crime. mass shooting near a packed florida beach on memorial day. nine injured, four children. tough story to start on. i'm bill hemmer. we're back. >> dana: i missed you. 25 things to tell you about but not time right now. i'm dana perino, this is "america's newsroom." we'll try to fill you in on all the weekend stuff. this happened in florida. gunfire broke out in hollywood,

florida. one suspect is in custody, another still on the loose. hollywood is a popular -- it's a popular destination 20 miles north of miami. it was expected to see more visitors than usual with the memorial day holiday. witness describes the chaos. >> it was just like insane. >> ran fast, no shoes on. jeans, we ran across the board walk and went into the parking garage and then the cops came like five cars deep with guns looking for him. >> dana: get you to this story. charles watson is live and has the latest. >> good morning, dana and bill. fortunately no one was killed. all of the victims including children between the ages of 1 and 17 are all currently in stable condition at an area hospital. police say those folks were wounded after some sort of disagreement broke out along the

beachside promenade in hollywood, florida on monday. we're told at least one gun was pulled and shots were fired. sent people on the boardwalk running and ducking for cover. the hollywood police chief said there were thousands of people in the area at the time of the shooting. >> pop, pop, pop, 6, 7 shots. people started running. >> i was in the store and heard gunshots. >> video recorded on someone's cell phone the after math. people laid out on the sand with injuries following the gunfire. authorities say there were officers in the area who were able to respond to the shooting seen quickly. a multitude of emergency responders rushed to the scene to help the wounded including four minors as well as five adults between the ages of 25 and 65 years old. city officials calling the shooting reckless and a complete disregard of public safety. >> it is unfortunate when we

have law abiding citizens coming to the beach to enjoy the day that gets disrupted by a group of criminals who engage in this type of violent activity. >> police say they do have one suspect in custody. they are looking for another individual. we're expecting a press conference at 10:30 this morning and hopefully get more information on this shooting. dana. >> dana: charles watson, thank you. ron desantis and former president trump on a collision course in iowa. the florida governor will be there tonight for his official campaign kickoff. president trump will be there on thursday. the republican field converging on the hawkeye state. team fox coverage karl rove with analysis but let's begin with rich edson in des moines, iowa. >> good morning, dana. the campaigning starts tonight for governor ron desantis. he will be here for a campaign kickoff event and swing through

iowa over the next couple of days, travel to new hampshire and south carolina all early voting primary states for the republican primary. desantis says iowa could give him the momentum he needs at the very start of this process. >> there may be some differences with me and donald trump. i think those differences were down to my benefit in a place like iowa. he has taken the side of disney in our fight down here in florida. >> trump shot back on social media that disney had become a woke and disgusting shadow of its former self. it happened on desantis's watch and the florida governor should have stopped it long ago. what else he thinks he should have done to disney. desantis aide says on this swing he will tout his record in florida and stress that the country needs energy in the executive. desantis is more than 30 years trump's junior. trump will be in iowa later this week with a town hall with sean

hannity. nikki haley, who has intensified her criticism of desantis once he entered the race last week will be in des moines saturday for iowa saturday joannie ernst roast and ride fun raiser. several other republicans including desantis will join her and former vice president mike pence. entrepreneur ramaswamy and a number of others will be there on saturday so it is starting in iowa. back to you, dana. >> dana: as it always does. great assignment, thank you. >> bill: president biden hasn't held a single public campaign event since he launched his re-election bid a month ago. jacque heinrich live at the north lawn to begin a new week. the debt ceiling on and on and the campaign and what it will look like. good to see you. >> when president biden announced his re-election bid the campaign told fox the plan was to let voters see the

president being the president meaning there would be no traditional stumping at least to start. and the campaign also signaled a fragmented media environment and what they called a need to meet voters where they are, meaning heavy use of social media platforms, influencers and a large coalition of surrogates. but while those surrogates have been appearing on tv and digital ads here and there, so far only the dnc has really weighed in much on who biden might be facing in the general saying if florida governor ron desantis. he got his start of the house freedom caucus where he wanted to end medicare and social security as we know it. worked to repeal the affordable care act and one thing is guaranteed, whoever makes it out will only have done so by catering to the most maga right wing republicans in the primary. president biden is signaling that he is trying to stay above

the fray while the gop primary shakes out. >> president biden: i'm being serious. i haven't focused that much. a lot of competent candidates trying to get the nomination. we'll see. >> everything from the president's campaign video announcement to that dnc statement have shown the white house or the president's approach to his re-election will be putting trump or the shadow of trump on the ballot meaning we'll hear a lot about this ultra maga right wing extremism like we did during the debt limit debate. >> bill: a campaign maybe like we've never quite seen before. jacque from the north lawn. >> dana: karl rove fox news contributor joins us now. talk about republicans first in iowa. desantis was on "fox & friends" yesterday and explaining how he can win the state. >> we are competing everywhere. we have an incredible amount of

support. i got endorsed by 37 legislators. we have a lot in common. i think the ground swell of support has been strong and we'll press the case. >> dana: karl, how does it look so far? iowa is in the distance but not that far away. >> it is not that far aware and appears that desantis has adopted what has been a winning strategy in the past. that is promised to visit all 99 counties, put a strong emphasis on getting local endorsements and have a grassroots army already through a super pac they've knocked on over 100,000 doors of likely caucus goers and will keep at it. this kind of strategy has worked before. this is the iowa poll, a widely respected poll and run by a woman named sell stecher. in 2007 mike hub bee was 3% in

june. 27% in november and won with 34%. santorum was at 4% in june of 2011, 6% in november and won in january and 2016 ted cruz put a strong emphasis on winning the evangelical vote. 5% in may, 10% in october, and 28% and won in february of 2016. so desantis has a similar strategy. we'll see if it works. the last time somebody who led in the early polls was the winner on caucus night was 2000. donald trump won in 2020 with no opposition but in a contested race. >> bill: who does she have in the lead today? >> she has donald trump in the lead and ron desantis in second

place. and -- but the point is it's a variable state. first of all, they take their job seriously and why they want you to visit their county and visit the county as many times as possible. and second of all, it is why they make up their mind late. this happened on the democratic side as well. you may remember in 2007 hillary clinton was well ahead of barack obama in the state and it was not until november of the year that obama began to move with a dramatic speech in late november at the jefferson jackson day dinner. having built the network of people in the state who could take that burst of enthusiasm that came as people came to make a decision and grab ahold of those people and turn them out on caucus night is what's really critical to winning in a caucus. >> bill: desantis there for two days. trump thursday in iowa on the republican side. >> dana: this is something that i would have -- if i saw you in the hallway at the white house i would have loved to ask you

this. let me ask in front of america. it is true historically that most presidents get a second term in america. rare they don't. but it does happen and we've certainly saw carter, george h.w. bush. trump. what does history tell you where biden is now in that scenario. >> i'm writing about this exact topic. the problem for joe biden is people don't see him as a strong leader and more importantly, they see him as too old to be effective. i will be talking about the polls that reflect that. nothing is going to change the fact or make him look younger. it's not going to change. i think the fact that he is seen as too old is in direct relationship to people seeing him as not strong enough to be an effective president. that's a bad place to be. he is okay it looks like inside the democratic party. when robert kennedy who has only

his last name to give him anything is running at 20% and marian williamson 10%. a third of dome congratulations say i'm looking for somebody else and little to commend either of those other two people. it is remarkable. the president is in a weak place even within his own party and i think potentially weaker in a general election. a belief he is too old and not strong enough, neither one of those things will improve over the next two years. >> bill: think about the campaign relying on surrogates and celebrities and social media. not a ton of campaigning. occasional trip to philadelphia looking for democratic votes in the state of pennsylvania. it will be an interesting campaign. maybe one we haven't seen quite before in our lifetime in the modern media and television age. karl, great to see you. talk to you later in the week. >> dana: thanks. >> thanks. >> dana: the race for the white house runs through milwaukee. the first republican debate is

taking place there in august. fox news will host that. we're gearing up for it. hope you don't miss it. >> bill: in the meantime it is just about the moment of truth for president biden and how speaker kevin mccarthy's debt deal. lawmakers returning to the hill today. the push is on now to get their support for the agreement. it faces hurdles from house members on both sides. as the clock ticks toward a june 5th deadline, mccarthy says time is of the essence to get it done. >> you have to pass a bill to find out what's in it. you have 72 hours. this isn't a thousand page bill it is 99 pages. we're going to spend less money this year than we spent last year. would i have wanted to cut more? yes. i was only able to work at less than 15% of the budget. if we got a new president and senate majority we can tackle it. i would like to look at everything and put us on a better path. >> dana: there you have it. the news over the weekend.

mccarthy and biden are trying to sell it to their own parties. "wall street journal" said a debt ceiling deal worth passing and forced concessions from biden. there was a democratic staffer on background told a reporter that it could have been worse for them but they aren't happy with it. >> bill: remarkable thing that mccarthy got passed what he did. republicans were able to go on offense. the rubber will hit the road today. house rules committee. i don't want to get too deep in the weeds. we'd need round-up. but there are nine republicans and four democrats on this committee. two of those republicans have already said they don't support this deal. one of them, chip roy out of texas, said part of the deal that mccarthy made to become speaker was that he would only take a unanimous vote among republicans out of the house committee in order to go forward with bills, including this one here. so this is when we get into the

details. >> dana: in order to take the votes to be speaker he had to put them on the rules committee. the rubber will hit the road. >> bill: these are the details within a house that has a margin of 4 or 5 votes that really matter on big stuff. >> dana: you won't that kind of analysis elsewhere. we're in the weeds for you. fox news alert on what appears to be a new escalation in the war of ukraine. a series of drone strikes hitting a wealthy suburb of moscow. how russia is responding. >> bill: troubling new details in the case of a mother of two who vanished on a cross-country trip. her disappearance is drawing comparisons to the gabby petito case. >> dana: why this could spell bad news for people who love off-roading based on what is happening in california. ♪

>> bill: so only moments ago russia says ukraine is trying to pro voc moscow by launching a revenge attack. so russian officials say their forces shot down several drones over a wealthy moscow residential districts on the outskirts of the city. first time a civilian area has been targeted. watch this story. it might be the most important in the world today. greg palkot in london with more now. greg, hello to you. >> hello. we could be looking at a real game changer in the war between russia and ukraine. never before in this 15-month

conflict has a civilian area of moscow been targeted. eight drones were fired, all shot down but falling debris damaged buildings as noted in the high-end area. there were some injuries and disruptions and streets closed off. it was branded a terror attack by the kiev regime. ukraine did not take responsibility but officials in kiev did offer cryptic comments to make sure all know they aren't displeased. this comes after yet another barrage on kiev and other parts of ukraine by russia. overnight 30 more drones fired at the ukrainian capital. most shot down. one person killed along with buildings hit. the intensity of the russian assaults clearly a sign that moscow thinks this long-expected spring counter offensive could be coming soon. russia is trying to expend kiev's air defenses or rattle nerves. the drone assault on moscow has done that by all accounts.

the special military operation has seen a faraway thing for most russians, mostly combat scenes on tv screens. now again for the first time it is literally hitting home. perhaps, bill, why we've heard very little from the folks on the top about this latest assault on moscow. especially from the upon responsible for it all, vladimir putin. >> bill: seems like a new phase. >> the best money we've ever spent. [inaudible]. >> dana: south carolina senator lindsey graham is now the target of a russian arrest warrant after his comments from last week. he calls it a badge of honor. theyed ited different parts of their conversation in a video showing the senator saying

russians are dying and from another part of that chat they say the u.s. support for ukraine's defense is the best money we've ever spent. so the edited video angered the kremlin. associated press reports its spokesman said it is hard to imagine a greater shame for the country than having such senators. >> bill: wow. 24 past now to the tennessee mother mentioned a moment ago gone missing after heading cross-country on a trip with her boyfriend several weeks ago. there were signs of trouble when the couple reached new mexico and her disappearance shares some disturbing similarities with the case regarding gabby petito. based on what we think we know now. steve harrigan. >> this all started over three weeks ago. nicki all car as, 33 year old. mother of two set off with a boyfriend and dog in her jeep to visit family members in

california. they had trouble in new mexico. a violent fight between the two of them. witnesses saw her boyfriend punch her in the face. police were called to separate the two but no charges were filed. her brother saw the results of the beating. >> he beat her up pretty badly. truck driver had to pull him off of her and call the police. the police picked him up, took him a couple exits down and dropped him off and diagnosed with traumatic brain injury and broken hand or wrist. >> the case echoes that of gabby petito the young woman drove across country with her boyfriend, two fought and were separated. petito wound up dead in the national park in wyoming. her boyfriend admitted to murdering her before killing himself. tennessee law enforcement still holds out hope for her. she was seen in a photograph in a wal-mart in california just this past saturday selling her

phone at a kiki -- kiosk. >> dana: elizabeth holmes is expected to surrender to federal prison authorities today and begin serving her 11-year sentence due to report to the women's prison facility in texas, 100 miles outside of houston. she was convicted of defrauding investors in her blood testing company. she filed an appeal but will go to jail today. >> bill: gas powered cars might be harder to find and it appears to be california's fault. chrysler's parent company has warned auto dealers it may cut shipments of gas-powered cars like the jeep to states who have adopted california's electric vehicle mandates. you can see from this map there are 16 such states across the country. "wall street journal" editorial board with the headline.

if you like your jeep you won't be able to buy one soon thanks to california's ev mandate. >> dana: in the editorial it says the cars instead the electric ones are $20,000 more, at least, than the jeep that you could get. pay attention. >> bill: so much of this should be determined by consumer demand. if you like it, you buy it. if you don't like it, you will settle for your jeep. >> dana: thank you for coming to his economic ted talk. another person pulled to safety more than 24 hours after an iowa apartment building partially collapsed. details on the rescue next. today is the deadline for the f.b.i. to hand over documents on an alleged joe biden bribery scheme. so what happens if the agency misses that deadline? re workingo build a better future. so we're hard at work, helping them achieve financial freedom. we're investing for our clients in the projects that power our economy.

"new york post" political reporter john levine joins us now. this is the deadline today. listen to james comer, this is what the accusations are.

i know you follow this closely. remind the audience. >> this is a very serious accusation. this fits a pattern that we uncovered especially romania where then vice president biden visits a country, talks about foreign policy and foreign aid and two weeks later his family starts getting bank flyers from foreign nationals in this country to the different biden family members. we also want to know what exactly the f.b.i. did to investigate this very serious allegation. >> dana: what viewers need to know about this? >> this is d day. the most significant development in the hunter biden/joe biden investigation. james combers talks a lot about hunter biden and the $10 million from foreign sources and all the potential crimes hunter biden is accused of. what james comer can't do on the network is tell you point blank what crime joe biden committed. that's what could potentially

change with the emergence of this document. >> bill: it's called an fd1023 but inside the f.b.i. they're saying the document was pretty -- it wasn't considered official. >> an unclassified document. no good reason to hold this document back. it is one thing if it's classified and then there is real concerns there. there is no reason to hold this back. i can't tell you or understand what the issue is. it seems to be stalling. you have to look at this in the broader context of the f.b.i. throughout the entire hunter biden saga. they had the laptop in 2019 and did nothing. investigating hunter biden for six years and never ending probe and we see nothing there. there is no confidence in chris wray among republicans anymore. raises questions is the f.b.i. an arm of the democratic party at this point? >> dana: a question there for you is something i think that the white house, if they're watching now, and they might be, they will continually say there is no evidence that the

republicans have put forward that ties joe biden, the president himself. could this change? could that change today or is it still about other people? >> potentially that's exactly right. james comer cannot tell you the specific crime that joe biden has committed and that is something that could change with the emergence of this document. although let's see. we haven't seen it yet. >> bill: what has been talked about is that the document shows proof of a bribe? that involved a foreign country? >> yeah >> bill: and it could have been $5 million worth? >> allegedly. we haven't seen the document yet. a $5 million bribe not from china. it ties joe biden to a scheme that was a preib for policy type deal where the u.s. policy would change in response to cash transaction but again, we have to see.

>> bill: you say today is d-day. comer and grassley will speak with wray tomorrow, wednesday. >> the deadline in today. d-day to hand over the documents. >> bill: it would seem he won't give you the document and get in discussions tomorrow. >> maybe d-day is tomorrow. >> bill: a debt deal thing i think. >> dana: the d-day zone. great to see you. let us know what happens. >> bill: l.a.'s progressive d.a. back in the spotlight after reports he went easy on ayinde tempted murder suspect back behind bars. the reason may shock you. another bloody holiday weekend in chicago. only two weeks after that city's new mayor had been sworn in. >> it's one of the busiest weekends by the chicago police department. as someone living with type 2 diabetes,

>> dana: more deadly violence in chicago. brandon johnson's first memorial day weekend as mayor was the most deadly the city saw in eight years. since friday 12 people killed, 53 shot according to the police department. even toddlers getting caught in

the crossfire. mike tobin has the latest from chicago. hi, mike. >> chicago has a new mayor, new summer season and the same old blood shed. murders and shooting are in double digits. numbers just released. a dozen people killed. 53 shot. chaos at north avenue beach in a cozy part of town with beautiful views of lake michigan. gunfire rang out as people tried to enjoy the newly opened beaches. 216-year-old were arrested. the trend is the teenagers crowd the beach, get rowdy and leads to violence. police searched bags to prevent the violence. >> we're not checking their body or not patting anyone down unless we see something strange there. we are checking the bags for alcohol, weapons and anything -- any type of contraband. >> you can't just retreat to the nice parts of town to escape the

violence. lake view neighborhood known for expensive real estate and wrigley field. this weekend crime scenes 35-year-old man killed and three men shot leaving a party in lake view. it includes a couple of toddlers who got ahold of guns and shot accidentally. one murder was a stabbing. the new mayor of chicago participated in a peace march over the weekend. >> dana: mike tobin, not good news. thank you. >> bill: want to bring in a chicago resident and executive director of a volunteer group of veterans and martial artist to help curb crime. you hope it gets better but it's the same old story. >> same story in chicago. very important for everybody to understand the gun violence that took place over the memorial day weekend is the average day in chicago.

in other words, for example, there were 48 armed robberies two days ago in chicago. no one has the fear of the police anymore. people don't feel like they'll be caught if they break the law. i want to direct something michael said. mayor johnson did not deploy violence interrupters. i want to say that. 2.3 million was spent on trying to curtail the violence over the memorial day weekend. it would have been better spent on the victims of gun violence in chicago. it is a tragedy taking place out here and people being shot in lake view and all over the city. more has to be done on the front end. criminal justice reform has backfired on victims here in chicago. >> bill: your town deserves better. i say it every time. the mayor on thursday before everything kicked off. listen. >> you will see me all over the city of chicago this weekend. i am going to enjoy myself. i'm even throwing out the first pitch on saturday at the cubs game. here is why that's important. i really want to make sure the

full power of city government is out this weekend keeping everyone informed, safe and busy. >> bill: okay. did that new mayor show up at any of these shooting scenes? >> the mayor -- i did see him about the community. i know he did have a chance to meet with a couple of the victims of the gun violence over the weekend. but the thing is everybody smiled and having a good time and we have victims out here. i'm speaking for the victims today. it is tragic. we had a 69-year-old lady on her way to a funeral shot and killed on the south side of the chicago on her way to a funeral. a grandmother, married 40 years. it is insane because we cannot keep repeating the same mistakes expecting different results here in chicago when it comes down to reducing gun violence. >> bill: a couple of things here just 2023, 11 killed. the number can change with the final tally is in. last year 20229 killed, 2021,

number was four. 2020, 10 killed. your record unfortunately was a dozen dead in 2015. the mayor talked about social programs and spending money as really the key to turning things around. i don't know how well that has gone or how long that might take. there was a woman who was found stabbed to death less than two blocks from his home. >> very familiar with the community where he resides. a woman found, ruled a homicide. it is crazy all over the west side and the south side. that's why i began to think about having people go downtown to try to work with the crowds of young people when we have all this blood shed on the west and south side of the chicago. i don't think it was the best strategy to take when it comes down to addressing issues in our community. let me say this also. there is an art to stopping killings. most killings are not solved.

it is all about having personal relationships with some of these guys on the streets if you want to stop a killing. the police can only do so much. we have policies in chicago where the police cannot chase somebody in a car, cannot chase you on foot. some of those policies need to be reversed now in order to get the job done here in chicago. >> bill: thanks for coming back on. we'll follow it every summer because we always have. thank you. >> thank you. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: lots of sports this weekend, bill. lots. the cheesiest sport we've ever covered. hundreds of people competing in the u.k. annual cheese rolling race. chasing a giant wheel of cheese down a near vertical here and it gets extreme. they're serious. this year's winner got knocked out on her way down. she didn't know she had won until regaining consciousness after the event saying it was all worth it. >> bill: i'm sure it was. >> dana: would you do it?

>> bill: i would give it a shot, yeah. you would, too. you are so competitive. >> dana: i would film you doing it. where is the cheese? i see it. we should spotlight the cheese. >> bill: ain't one of those guys going to catch the cheese. >> dana: do you think newsroom could beat "fox & friends" if we did this? >> bill: sure. challenge launched. check it out. high school debate teams have given students a chance to sharpen critical thinking skills. a lot of things say political bias is ruining the tradition. have a look at that, right? the prime suspect in the murder of natalee holloway severely beaten behind bars. that's according to his lawyer. could it affect his extradition to the u.s.? the question now.

the question now. i brought in ensure max protein with 30g of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uh... here i'll take that. -everyone: woo hoo! ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein, one gram of sugar. enter the nourishing moments giveaway for a chance to win $10,000. veteran homeowners making a big car payment every month? car loans can be expensive and the payments high. consolidate that car loan into a newday home loan and save hundreds every month.

[gunshots] it forced bystanders to crawl through the aisle. both men wounded. they survived. the driver has been fired, passenger is facing charges. wow, that thing just erupted like that. >> dana: oh, you know, people go through a lot. >> bill: news out of charlotte, north carolina. they'll live but tough to watch >> dana: high school debate coaches say politically biased judges. it judges are making strainss clear. students who argue capitalism can reduce poverty or israel has a right to defend itself will lose, no questions asked. here is what james told trey

gowdy. >> we've got to bring free speech back to high school debate. when you can get larry summers and ted cruz to agree that something this -- debate changed my life and it is sad that so many young men and women will miss out as a result. >> dana: briann yeah is a member of the national speech association. has this been something you have experienced? >> absolutely. in march at a tournament before the round even started, we were debating president biden's foreign affairs track record and my judge warned me not to bring up president trump as she deemed it inappropriate. if a student like me going into debate to have free and open conversations is being censored in this way it is no longer

debate. the nsca must be recognized as an organization not allowing students like myself to express openly. >> dana: it is shocking to me. i think speech and debate was the pivotal moment for my future and i think you feel the same way. this is what the association said that basically the 47,000 judge paradigms housed on tab room represent the opinions and viewpoints of the individual paradigm authors. it goes on to say on each and every ballot we ask all judges to reflect and remove bias and unfair feedback but it isn't what is happening. show the viewers at home. this is call for number one here. one girl posted this. including being a debate judge i'm a marxist. i can't check the revolutionary science at the door when judging. i will no longer evaluate and never vote for righteous, capitalist imperialist positions and arguments. that's shocking to me. you know going into the room

what if you wanted to maybe make the -- that opposite point of view to her that you know you'll lose? is the idea that you just don't compete at all? >> the idea is that conform to what the judge's ideology is. next month at the national tournament the goal is to have a minimum of 2 to 3 lgbtq judges in the final round. i couldn't care less about what my judge identifies as as long as they are impartial. that's what matters. students should not conform during debate. it is based off evidence not the judge's ideology. >> dana: do you think it's a handful of judges or more widespread? >> it is a small number of judges but we have to keep in mind it's the culture around nsca debates. we aren't allowed to question affirmative action. there is a question that was posed last year how does affirmative action benefit black

americans? you can't challenge the idea that affirmative action hurts people that look like me. during my college application process it might prove to be a detriment. it's not allowing for two-sided debates where students are open to express their views. >> dana: you are only a sophomore and you have a bright future already. what will you do in the next two years and did you plan to go to college to debate and maybe even on scholarship? >> i don't plan to go to any more nsca tournaments because of the censorship going on. i do plan to continue debate in non-affiliated organizations that allow me to express my viewpoints and to also hear other students' viewpoints. >> dana: isn't it -- wasn't debate that sometimes when you walk in you didn't know if you had to argue one side or the other? >> you have to debate both sides. when they pose questions that are one-sided and don't allow for another viewpoint it isn't

debate. >> dana: i'm glad it has been exposed and that you have come on the show and excited to do what you have in your long life that you have ahead of me. take care. >> i heard pop, pop, pop, 6 or 7 shots and people started rung. >> i was in the store and heard a couple of gunshots and ran over and everybody was laying on the ground. >> dana: a manhunt now underway after shots rang out in hollywood, florida hitting nine people, including children. the boardwalk was packed when those gunshot sent hundreds of people running for cover along the crowded beach. there was a dispute between two groups when at least one person opened fire. five adults and four juveniles were injured including a 1-year-old baby. officers detained at least one person of interest. another suspect is still on the run. unfortunately that's our morning news. coming up later this hour we'll speak live with someone who was there as that scene unfolded
