serious pleading responding. normally we have police in route and i'm seeing chesapeake, virginia, responding late last night to report of an active threat, located multiple fatalities and multiple injured persons. a little while later through the course of providing treatment. we were able to establish that we believe it's only we believe it's a single shooter, and that single shooter is deceased at this time. it was not immediately clear if the shooter was killed by police or if the injury was self inflicted , according to a law enforcement source. preliminary information indicates the gunman was an employee, possibly a manager who went into a break room and shot other employees. several victims rushed to local hospitals as a rescue and recovery mission began, officials say. and because the store is so large, many people may have been hiding for several minutes, prompting fear that victims may not have been immediately located. a number of agencies, including

the atf, are responding employees and shoppers in the store being interviewed and a family reunification center has now been established. walmart releasing a statement saying, we are shocked at this tragic event at our chesapeake virginia store . we're praying for those impacted the community and our associates. police say it may take some time. time before they can release the number of fatalities. there's also no official word on a motive, andrew alright, lionel. thank you, and we're also following breaking news in the middle east. two explosions rocking jerusalem during rush hour. police say explosive devices replaced near to bus stops. the devices went off 30 minutes apart. at least one person was killed and several people are injured. police have called the explosions they suspected attacks by palestinians. tensions are high after months of israeli raids in the west bank. prompted by a string of deadly attacks against israelis. we're going to continue to follow this story throughout the morning. back here at home, millions of americans are hitting the road for the thanksgiving holiday, and the

good news is the weather is mostly cooperating, as you can see from the radar but prepare for lots of company. this year appears much busier than the last two driver fleeing police in los angeles, found himself in the thick of the thanksgiving rush, expected to be the busiest stretch of travel in years. lots of brake lights just like this guyis encountering right now, nearly 55 million americans are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home. as a result, the national safety council warns this year could be the deadliest thanksgiving on the roads since 2007 with more than 500 preventable crash deaths expected over the holiday. one main factor distracted driving this semi truck in tennessee right into a fallen power lines, the driver apparently not seeing the officer trying to flag him down. okay? police are warning against doing this. a driver

leaving snow piled high atop a truck in western new york. meanwhile airports are packed this animation from the faa shows flight patterns for the 48,000 planes that flew across the us yesterday alone, experts suggest getting to the airport early and be prepared definitely left early. i know this is like the worst and most hectic time to travel another tip to save time. don't check a bag and if you do make sure the family pet doesn't sneak inside it. an agent at jfk airport in new york spotted this cat in a suitcase the x ray showing a clear outline the cat's orange hair poking through the zipper. the owner unaware of the cat was in there. the biggest factor on this busy travel day is usually the weather. it should cooperate for most people heading to their destinations today, but coming home after the holiday could get tricky in the northeast. there's a second system and this is the one that i'm concerned for the

tri state, which has a lot of air activity back to parts of, say, watertown, where you had all of that heavy snow heavy rain on sunday, experts say remote working is allowing people to start their holiday trips even earlier, which could help ease traffic during peak times, some frightening moments after an air force plane took off in chicago, the jet hit a flock of birds. you see it right there on your screen, and smoke could be seen coming from an engine. after the impact head of the national guard, was on the plane, which immediately returned to the midway airport. no one was injured. another air scare this one in los angeles. a corporate jet had to make an emergency landing when its nose wheel failed to come down the jet skidded and sparked to a stop at van nuys airport. no one was hurt. the supreme court is now cleared the way for congress to get a hold of former president trump's tax returns. it ends at three year fight by democrats. but trump's delays may have paid off because any investigation that democrats begin now will almost certainly be shut down when republicans take over the house in january.
