with a live local news update. you can join us for nbc bay area news at 11:00 with scott and kris. have a great day. nine people killed when a man walked into a prayer meeting in charleston, south carolina and starts shooting. right now authorities looking for this suspect. >> this is a tragedy that no community should have to experience. >> the justice department now opening a hate crime investigation. >> the only reason someone can walk in to church and shoot people praying is out of hate. >> a community in agony and the desperate search for the man responsible today, thursday june 18th, 2015. from nbc news this is a

special edition of "today." charleston church massacre with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning everyone. welcome to "today" on a thursday morning. it's 7:00 a.m. on the west coast. we come on live where everyone in charleston, south carolina are looking for the man you're about to see on this surveillance image, the person considered responsible for this terrible mass murder at a church. >> these are images you're going to see a lot throughout the day. this is our top story. here's what we know so far. ten people were shot, at least nine are dead. six women and three men killed when a gunman opened fire inside the ame church. >> police have not released the victims names but we know the name of at least one of them, the church pastor, clementa pinckney, also a state senator. >> let's put the image of the suspect again. you can see he's being described as a clean shaven white male probably in his early 20s.

he has sandy blond or light brown hair. >> this morning the fbi is on the scene. so far the shooter has not been found. there is an intense manhunt at this hour. let's get right to nbc's chris jansing in charleston this morning. chris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. and that manhunt is growing. in fact, it's no longer just local, it's regional. and they believe those surveillance photos released about four hours ago could lead to a quick arrest. and they have already been getting tips. all of this started unfolding little after 9:00 last night at a church just about a block from where i'm standing. talked to church members late last night, they say the doors were always open. anyone could come in. so someone who wasn't even a member of the church could come in to the wednesday night bible study and no one would think anything of it. in fact, police revealed this morning he was there for an hour before he stood up and started shooting. and then a night of chaos ensued. this morning charleston is a city in mourning and on edge.

>> it's tragedy that we're addressing right now is undescribable. >> reporter: this morning police canvassing the streets of charleston, south carolina, searching for this man who they say opened fire wednesday night on a bible study session at an historic black church. >> this is a very dangerous individual. >> reporter: the shooter, descending upon parishoners at emanuel african methodist episcopal church. opening fire, killing nine people. eight who died inside the church. one person dead in the hospital. >> i regard several victims from an active shooter. >> we are definitely working right now with a number of agents and police officers in our region to identify the individual. >> reporter: police tracking the gunman describing him as a white male approximately 21 years old with sandy blonde hair were also dealing with a bomb threat which was later called off. >> you can see he has on a very distinctive sweatshirt that has

markings. >> we were tracking this individual with canines. we were making sure that he was not in the area to commit other crimes. >> reporter: police have not confirmed the names of victims, but reportedly among the dead state senator clementa pinckney, who was also the pastor of the church. >> he was a sweet person. he was just an ongoing kindhearted man. >> reporter: this man told us his cousin died in the attack. a local barber in his early 20s with a positive attitude. doesn't surprise you he was at a bible study? >> no. that's where he is. he's the person that uplifter. >> reporter: the shooting comes just two months after walter scott, an unarmed black man, was shot by a white police officer in neighboring north charleston sparking protests and racial tension in the area. but multiple people in the community did not want to rush to condemn the shooter. instead calling for peace. >> we are trying to keep calm. we're trying to keep peace within the community.

we're trying to be the barrier of good news in a time of war we're trying to have peace. >> reporter: city officials are calling this an unspeakable tragedy. they were visibly shaken as they briefed reporters this morning. there is going to be a noon prayer vigil. they're calling on the city to be calm, but also asking for help. one more thing, there were three survivors. one of them according to our local nbc affiliate was a little girl who pretended that she was dead and that saved her life. matt. >> all right. chris jansing in charleston. chris, thank you very much. federal officials are opening a hate crime investigation into this shooting. nbc's justice correspondent pete williams has more on that. pete, what can you tell us? >> reporter: matt, good day to you. officials say they're following several very strong leads. they have identified several possible subjects of the investigation. because they have the surveillance video to go on, because they have the witnesses,

because they have the car that was in the parking lot, this gunman made no efforts to conceal his identity. atf people are checking the shell casings, witnesses are being asked for their descriptions. so they have several potential names that they're checking out now. obviously they're not releasing any of those names because they don't know whether the people they're looking at were involved or not. but they're confident that they're going to find out who did this and make an arrest pretty soon based on all the evidence they have. the fbi is attempting to enhance the surveillance pictures. they're checking databases of the car to look for other possible owners. so they're optimistic here, matt, that they have a lot of very strong leads to pursue. >> pete williams, pete, thank you very much. nbc news analyst clint van sant is a former fbi profiler. clint, good morning to you. and let's pick up on what pete just said. it looks like investigators have some tools that they can use to close in on this suspect. >> yeah.

they've got two different sides of this investigation right now, matt. they're putting together the forensic side so they'll have everything that's needed to identify the weapon and perhaps the individual and link him to that weapon at the crime scene. the second half is to actually find the shooter. i think it's highly likely that they may know who he is. i mean, you and i look at that picture. if that was somebody we knew, if that was a kid in the neighborhood or somebody that, you know, one of my kids had gone to school with, they would know who that is. and i'm sure the calls have come flooding in to the fbi and police. right now they may well have a number of different locations they're looking at. but i would find it hard to believe that they wouldn't have this person in custody before the day's on. >> and because we're talking about someone who exhibited an ability to display this kind of violence and this kind of hate and he's a young person about 20, 21 years old, there's a good chance he has vented that hatred to others.

isn't there either in person or online? >> yeah, i think we're going to find that. it's really hard somebody that young not to be on social media, not to talk to others. you know, you and i covered the virginia tech story back in 2007, and it's that same type of mentality on the part of the shooter where the shooter at virginia tech looked out and held everybody on that campus responsible for his own challenges. >> right. >> and then acted out against them. i think this shooter is the same type of individual. he's holding a certain group of people responsible and therefore took this terrible action against them. >> clint, we spoke on the phone you and i a little earlier, and you shared a statistic with me that i found shocking. we think of churches as places of refuge, holy places. just explain what you told me. >> yeah. i was researching this today, matt. and i found out that in the most recent year 2014 there were 176 significant acts of violence

that took place in places of worship, 74 of those that resulted in death. so, matt, you know the traditional places we think of safety are home, the schools, the churches, all of these are being invaded by individuals who believe they can come in, they can act out. they may find individuals who may not be able to defend themselves at that specific point. and that looks like what we're seeing here. but again, what level of callousness does it take, number one to bring a gun and enough ammunition so you can reload five different times, we're told. and then number two, sit there with your victims, get to know them for an hour and then stand up and kill almost every one of them. >> clint van zandt, thank you for your perspective. >> chilling facts here. earlier this morning i had a chance to talk to reverend john hall brown, he's the pastor of

the nearby mount zion arkszme church. began asking him how he and the community are doing this morning. >> terrible. terrible. but very supportive of the mayor, the police department and most of all bishop of the seventh episcopal district of the ame church, you know, continues to lead us and have us to respond in kind that we lean on one another to help the community get through this terrible situation. >> it is shocking in every sense and already authorities are calling it a hate crime. how do you feel about what has happened here? i mean, is there anything that would ever have made you think this could happen in your community? >> yeah. for me as far as it's a shock, but when you look at america. america has this great love affair with guns and anybody can get them. whether they're mentally

disturbed, whether they're crazy, whether they're part of a hate group. just give them a gun. everybody has a gun. and nobody wants to police it or reign it in. and when you have things like this, it would be absurd to think that every church that has a service or a meeting would lock their doors and lock people out. you just can't do that. so when you look at this country and the direction it's going in, it's just a lot of violence everywhere. it's almost nonstop. >> reverend, i know we're just starting to count the toll this morning, the human toll of what has happened here, in particular i know you were very close to reverend pinckney. what can you tell me about him? >> clementa pinckney was a leader with the young people, the young people group, he knew the church. he grew up in the church. when he became elder person as a man there was no doubt that he did not address as either yes, ma'am or yes, sir, always had that demeanor about him. >> i know he had a young family,

a wife and two daughters. do you know anything about how they're doing this morning? >> well, we were with the families last night. they're definitely in our prayers. and the church has come to their aid and rescue. so it's community along with other nine persons who were gunned down. >> you are all in our prayers this morning reverend john hall brown. thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you very much. god bless you. >> thank you, sir. >> had a press conference a little earlier this morning. the mayor of charleston, joe riley, called this "an unfathomable and unspeakable act by someone filled with hate and a deranged mind." and he added that they're doing everything they can do to bring this person responsible into custody. >> obviously will continue to follow it. we turn for new details. >> new details on what authorities call isis inspired plots to attack the u.s. the most recent came wednesday when the fbi says one of its agents was attacked in new york city. officials say agents were

attempting to search the suspect's home when 21-year-old fareed repeatedly attacked and stabbed the agent in the chest. prosecutors say he admitted being an isis supporter. the fbi says he was plotting with a college student arrested over the weekend. 20-year-old munthe to stage a terror attack in new york. the u.s. supreme court could rule on several high profile cases today. among them extending subsidies for the affordable care act. congressional republicans now say they will move to continue to temporarily deliver aid if subsidies are overturned. and also could vote on whether to legalize same-sex nationwide. a white tiger that broke loose from a zoo in the country of georgia during severe flooding killed one man and injured another. nbc's kelly cobiella is in london with the very latest. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning.

yes, once again people there are afraid to leave their homes today. they've been told almost all of the dangerous animals from the zoo have either been captured or have died, but clearly that wasn't the case. late wednesday a volunteer helping to clean up after the floods was attacked by a tiger. a full-grown white tiger. zoo keepers thought it had died in the floods, but when a cleanup crew went in it lunged at them. special forces shot and killed it. this eyewitness said the man who went in first was bitten in the throat. he didn't survive. throughout the night armed searchers were looking for another missing tiger and a striped edd hyena. swept away cars and people, killing 20 and destroying much of the zoo. about half of the 600 animals either drowned or escaped. this hippo swam out of its pen.

it was tranquilized and herded back to an enclosure. but bears and big cats were loose in the city. >> it was necessary, unfortunately, to shoot animals because they could harm people. >> reporter: officials say the last missing tiger and hyena may be buried in the mud and debris, but as wednesday's attack proved there's no way to be sure. there have been lots of false alarms overnight. no sightings of a tiger or hyena. but an endangered african penguin from the zoo was spotted alive today. he was swimming in a river 40 miles from the capital. >> wow. all right, thank you, kelly. some frightening moments this week at an airport in kazakhstan when a commercial airliner burst into flames just moments before passengers were about to board. the boeing 737 caught fire after an oxygen cylinder exploded. video shows 15-foot-high flames

erupting from the fuselage. and when you're at a baseball game and the rain starts pooring down, time to go home, right? of course not. this was the scene in our nation's capital wednesday night as the nationals hosted the tampa bay rays. so how do you stay dry? you grab a poncho of course. but look at this as you can see here, getting one on as everybody stares at you could be easier said than done. this man struggled to find the arm holes, didn't know what to do with his hat. >> good news is no one was watching. >> thank you. >> me trying to get the wrapper off one of my kid's toys. >> wrapper off a cd. remember cds? >> oh, yeah. >> no. >> hi, al. >> hey there. we're still talking about tropical depression bill at this point. no signs of letting up. it's right now 40 miles east-southeast of oklahoma city. 25-mile-per-hour winds. it's moving north-northeast. you can see the circulation still around this thing. it's going to still dump a ton

7:30 on a thursday morning. here's a look at charleston, south carolina. the scene of an unthinkable last night. a church massacre, ten people shot, nine of those killed. police have just identified the suspect. this man, they say he is 21-year-old dylann roof of lexington, south carolina. >> police say he walked into the emanuel ame church during an evening prayer meeting and opened fire. six women, three men were killed. the massacre is being called a hate crime. we want to get the very latest now. chris jansing has been following this all night. chris, good morning again. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. it was four and a half hours from the time we first saw those

pieces of the surveillance tape early this morning to the time that police confirmed the suspect they are looking for. as you said a 21-year-old dylann roof. they also had looked at that surveillance of him coming into the parking lot. they're also looking for a black hyundai with the license plate lgf330. they have literally been flooding not just the city but the entire region in a search for him. and they say since those photos got released they've been getting a lot of tips. they've been following up on those tips with the help of federal and state officials. in the meantime officials are talking also about what happened inside that church behind me a little after 9:00 last night. there was a bible study going on when that man went in, sat down. here's what the police chief had to say about what happened. >> the individual was actually in the church attending a meeting that was going on there and stayed there almost an hour with the group before the actual

event. there's some information that had been developed in the investigation that would lead us to believe that. we're not going to print that out right now because if we do capture the individual, we want to make sure during our interview process that we're getting real information from him. >> reporter: and officials who were visibly shaken when they spoke to the media this morning say they will not rest until he is taken into custody. in the meantime they and church officials from around the region are asking for calm. 90 minutes from now there will be a prayer service at the local church. matt, savannah. >> only a matter of time once they release that video somebody was going to recognize him. >> we are hearing now from a cousin of one of the victims of this shooting, pastor pinckney. she spoke with one of the survivors who described the disturbing scene to her. >> i'm one of the survivors. and she said that he had loaded -- reloaded five different times.

and her son was trying to talk him out of doing that act of killing people. and he just said i have to do it. he said you rape our women and you've taken over our country. and you have to go. at the conclusion of the bible study from what i understand they just started hearing a loud noise just ringing out. he had already wounded -- the suspect had already wounded a couple of individuals including my cousin, reverend clementa pinckney. >> that's chilling to listen to when you hear the conversation going on. and this guy calmly according to that witness reloaded five different times. >> and to walk in and sit through a prayer meeting for a full hour before this all started. there's the images of him -- one of these images appears to be a mugshot. our local station is reporting

he does have a prior arrest on charges of trespassing and drugs that may have been from earlier this year. >> yeah, april. so again the search on for dylann roof right now in the charleston area. let's get a check of the weather now from al. all right, guys. well, we are going to be starting out west. and as you can see on the satellite radar imagery there's nothing going on. it is a quiet day. what is happening that you can't see that's because of a big ridge of high pressure. and that ridge of high pressure is pumping up the heat. look at this. las vegas 105 degrees today. and that's going to be going right into the weekend. there's that ridge of high pressure. jet stream up to the north. so no chance for any kind of a wet or any kind of storm systems come in. so we have excessive heat warnings for phoenix until monday 8:00 mountain time. look at the temperature. phoenix 116, that's 12 degrees above average, tucson 110, yuma, 118. vegas 109. reno will see a high of 92 degrees. rest of the country we've got a

slight risk of strong storms up into the northern plains. wet weather in the pacific northwest and as you move east more showers and thunderstorms because of the remnants of bill. i'm meteorologist kari hall. we are cool to start the day, san francisco now at 55 degrees and 48 degrees for the north bay. but there will be a wide range in temperatures throughout this afternoon. we stay in the 60s in san francisco, but the peninsula makes it up into the upper 80s and san jose and the south bay 80 degrees today, 85 degrees today for napa and oakland reaching 74 degrees. while we hit the low to mitd 90s it in the tri-valley. pleasanton 93 degrees this afternoon. >> and that's your latest weather, matt. thanks, al. coming up, an exclusive conversation with lyle mitchell's attorney. he's the husband of the woman suspected of helping those two inmates escape in upstate new york. but first these messages.

save on great gifts for dad this weekend! at kohl's 3 f2 7:40 día 13 de la busqueda on wednesday lyle mitchell, the husband of the prison worker joyce mitchell, was interviewed by police. and just two days ago he met face-to-face with his wife who remains behind bars accused of aiding in that escape. peter dumoss is lyle mitchell's

attorney. good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. >> to say lyle mitchell's life has been turned upside down in the last fwo two weeks is an understatement. his wife is accused of having a sexual relationship with one or both of these inmates and even mention as part of this escape there might have been plans to kill him. it almost sounds ridiculous to ask, but how is he doing? >> he's in shock still. this is a woman who he felt was his best friend for 21 years. and now he finds out that she was possibly even part of a plot to kill him. >> he was interviewed by the police on wednesday. was it purely an attempt to get information about his wife? or is there any chance that they're also considering the possibility that he was somehow involved in this? >> well, right now i don't see any indication that they're looking at him as a suspect. he did give a statement earlier on. and yesterday was an effort to

go through that statement, make sure everything in that statement was accurate. they did want to turn over a few other stones. they wanted to know how it was that he didn't know about this beforehand. >> let me ask you about that. there have been an investigation inside the prison a while ago, long before this break, that possibly his wife had an inappropriate relationship with one of these inmates. that inmate was actually removed from the tailor shop for a while before returning. was mr. mitchell aware of that? did he confront his wife about that at the time? >> he was aware of it. he did talk to his wife about it at the time. and i believe he even talked to the inmate at that time. the inmate came up to him and assured him that there was no inappropriate relationship. his wife assured him there was no inappropriate relationship. that they just worked together. >> we should mention when you say the inmate came up to him, mr. mitchell also works at the

prison, just to make sure people understand that. i know mr. mitchell spoke to his wife in jail on tuesday. what was the nature of that conversation? can you describe it for me? >> he went in to talk to her. like i said, this is a woman that he cares deeply about, and still cares deeply about her. he needed some answers. he was just blown away by what was coming out. the fact she told him that these two inmates had a plot to kill him -- >> she confirmed that when he talked to her? >> she did. but she also had told him that she was not in agreement with it, that she was getting threatened by the inmates at that point. >> and obviously the attorney for his wife is saying that mr. mitchell continues to stand by his wife. is that the case? or would he testify against her if it comes to that?

>> i think that that's a strong comment. like i said, lyle still cares about his wife. but he realizes that he can't stand by her. that she's kind of made her own bed in this situation. and he's got to distance himself from that. he's cooperating with the police. he's told the police everything that his wife has told him. whether or not any of that can come in is a real question of privilege. >> and obviously he can't go back to work in the immediate future because he does work at that prison where the investigation continues, correct? >> yeah. he's out on administrative leave right now with pay. but that's one of the things that he's very worried about. he loved his job. he wants to go back. and he wants to work there again. >> peter dumoss, i appreciate your time this morning. thank you very much for talking to me. >> sure. thank you, matt. >> imagine a man whose world could be more turned upside down than his.

we've got wrangler, matt, carson, al, me. >> thank you very much. little laila on a thursday morning, i could listen to this song all day long. >> in fact you do listen to this song all day long. >> i do. >> let's go inside. sheinelle is in for natalie with a check of a very busy news morning. >> it is busy. we begin with the latest on the deadly shooting rampage in charleston, south carolina. within the last hour officials have confirmed the identity of the man who they say opened fire inside a historic church killing nine people. they say he's 21-year-old dylann roof. nbc's chris jansing is in charleston with the new details. chris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, sheinelle. well, dylann roof was known to police. he has an arrest record on drug charges and trespassing. they also know him they put pictures out of his 2000 black hyundai. it only took a matter of hours from the time they released stills of the surveillance video before they got that wanted poster essentially out.

now though that they know who he is, the question is where is he? officials have now identified the gunman behind wednesday night's tragic shooting at a historically black church in charleston, south carolina, as 21-year-old dylann roof. police are still on the hunt as they learn more about the suspect and the moments leading up to the shooting. >> he sat among the congregation for a substantial amount of time before he pulled out a weapon and started firing at people. >> reporter: officials are investigating the incident as a hate crime. federal, state and local law enforcement all on the scene are now asking the community for help. >> this is a all-hands-on-deck effort with the community as well as law enforcement. and i think with that effort we'll find this person quickly. >> active shooter, multiple people down. >> reporter: the suspect fired upon church goers during a bible study shortly after 9:00 p.m. killing eight people at the scene and another who later died at the hospital. among the dead, the church's

pastor clementa c. pinckney, also a state senator. >> this man died, lost his life trying to bring together a people for peace. and that's really what we need. we need peace. >> reporter: church members and residents alike gathered together in prayer and song looking for answers and calling for peace. and the grief in the city of charleston is culpable. i've been talking to folks who knew the pastor and it's hard for them to understand how this could possibly happen. but in addition to the call for help in finding a suspect there's a call for calm as well. originally they were planning one prayer service one hour from now. that is now going to be in five cities throughout south carolina. sheinelle. >> our hearts are certainly with all of those families affected. chris jansing, thank you. nbc news analyst, clint van zandt is a former fbi profiler. clint, good morning. >> good morning. >> now we have more information on the suspect, how will that help authorities track him down? what's the next step here?

>> well, we know this is a man who turned 21 in april who was arrested for drugs and trespassing in april and who was allegedly given a .45 caliber pistol as a birthday gift. likely the weapon he may have used in this. the authorities will have a lot of information. obviously they've got a picture. based upon his recent arrest, based upon his history in that community, it's unlikely that he fled the area. he's probably some place in that nearby community. the authorities have to find him and then they may well have to try to negotiate him out. and that's if he's listening to your show today, he needs to know he committed an unspeakable act, but he's the only one that can help us understand why he did that. the authorities need to talk to him. they need to understand that. he has a chance to help us understand. >> all right. nbc news analyst clint van zandt, thank you for talking with us this morning. finally, a cycling celebration in england turned into chaos. british olympic star had just

won the first stage of the women's tour when she plowed into photographers setting off a chain reaction. cyclists crashed and tumbled. she was badly bruised and had to pull out of the race. we're certainly hoping she is okay this morning. all right. six minutes after the hour. let's send it back to matt and savannah. >> sheinelle, thank you so much. we has been two long, long days since we started our ten-day sugar detox. and say it has been rough on some of us might be an understatement. take a look. >> hey, everybody. yeah, the sugar thing didn't work out so well for me. i gave it a try. i gave up one morning of my coffee 4:30 this morning i didn't have any of my stevia in the raw in it. and i got to tell you didn't set me out on the best foot. >> sugar is one of my food groups, so this is killing me. i'm actually looking forward to the minty sweet taste of brushing my teeth, which is sad.

>> hey, joy, i just had two tic tacs and i don't even feel bad about it. >> you're out. >> i'm not out. >> you're done. >> wait a minute. >> we also checked in with natalie, who's on vacation. she says she broke down and had to eat two energy chews after she went on an all-day hike. >> of course she cheats with energy chews. >> energy chew, 3 mus ke tiers. >> right. happened after a 45-mile hike. she also says she's planning on enjoying an extra glass of wine but says she'll make up for it later in the week. >> she's hard core. >> she's very hard core. >> obviously this hasn't been easy. all of you at home are hopefully doing this with us. you have questions. joy, just to remind everyone, really why are we doing this? >> well, it's not supposed to be a form of torture, matt lauer. >> not for me. >> the reason that we're doing it is it's an awareness activity. on average we're consuming more than double the recommended amount of added sugars. and unlike natural sugars which come packaged with a lot of

beneficial ingredients, added sugars are really just flavor enhancers. they don't bring anything nutritionally to the table. so we have ten days we're taking all the added sugars, except for a tic tac here and there, out of the diet. and then the hope is we're going to experience all sorts of flavors and textures when we go back to our regular foods after ten days. we're going to be more selective because, hey, we might have liked some of these foods with less sugar. >> very important question. >> let's get to it, why are white carb like bread and rice and pasta allowed on the plan? >> the white carbs metabolize very quickly in the body into sugar, but they don't actually contain added sugar. i needed to draw the line. also, i didn't want it to be so restrictive that everybody jumps ship. that being said even though the white stuff is allowed, i'm hoping that our viewers and all of you guys for the most part pick the whole grains like whole grain bread and whole grain pasta and quinoa and things like that.

>> so dinner last night, had a question about balsamic. >> it's fine. has a little sugar from grapes, but perfectly okay. >> what's the difference between whole milk versus skim milk? >> a lot of people ask this question. for some reason there's this fallacy floating all over the place that skim milk is loaded with added sugar. and it's not the case. so all cows milk, whether it's whole milk, 2%, 1% or skim milk has exactly the same amount of naturally occurring sugar, 12 grams per cup. you don't need to worry about that because that sugar comes packaged with calcium and protein. the only difference between whole milk and skim milk is they skim off the fat and drives down the calories. try some oftd non-dairy milks as well. >> milk shake -- >> okay. >> you can only have spinach in it. >> i've got an avocado milk shake for you.

>> we taigssted it. wouldn't recommend it, al. you have not just sugar but artificial sweeteners. so people who take splenda or pink stuff or blue stuff in their coffee, this is really hard. what are they supposed to do? >> it's really hard. there's a few things to try. first take advantage of some of the flavored ground beans. they come in pods and you can get them in delis. they don't have any added sugar, but it gives you a little bit of a shot of flavor. another thing you can do is sprinkle on some cinnamon or nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice. i like to take a few dashes of vanilla extract and mix it with some milk and add it to my coffee and low sugar vanilla latte. give it a shot. >> at this stage in a detox people are starting to feel the adverse effects. they're getting cranky, headaches. one tip to get through t crankies and keep going. >> ice cream. >> no, well, it could be my ice cream, matt. >> no, it couldn't be. >> i think that my best advice is to head over to today.com and

to look at some of the sample meals. there's so many things you can do for breakfast, oatmeal, bananabananas and pecans, eggs with fresh fruit, apples with peanut butter. we have a huge list i'm going to be tweeting out of snack ideas, popcorn and string cheese and trail mix. there's a lot of great things you can do. it's a matter of knowing what to eat. because once you get your groove, and you guys know the first 48 hours are the toughest. but after that you've got it. you know exactly what you can eat. and there's a lot of satisfying delicious items. it's not torture. >> no. >> it's a great learning curve. >> thank you. >> i'm hitting potato chips pretty hard, i'm going to tell you. thank you very much. up next, the bride is supposed to be the focus of any wedding photo, but the little flower girl in this one getting a lot of attention. that story and trending. then, al makes one deserving dad's day with a dream come true. wait until you see the surprise for this father who put his musical ambitions on hold to

3 f2 son las 8:13 acá en today. the stigma around plastic surgery has fateded. they say getting work done will be as common as getting makeup. becoming harder and harder to say no without being irrational or crazy. >> that's crazy. >> still like a beverly hills

thing, right? except for fillers. >> unless it gets a lot cheaper, it's not going to be something we all want to do over and over again. >> you don't think one day it will be the norm? >> not unless it's cheaper. but like fillers and all that kind of stuff. >> that's true. >> i don't know, what do you think? >> as a guy i love the look of a woman who allows herself to age naturally. i just do. when i walk down the street and i pass someone and i go, whoa, that they've had a lot of work done, that's not attractive on me. it just isn't. >> i agree. well, i think some plastic surgery let's be honest is exquisitely done. i don't think it makes us look younger. i think it makes us look older trying to look younger. >> i agree. all right. how about this? this next mom probably speaks for a lot ents with her article on the website xojane. the title is i hate all these gratuitous child graduations. this is where kids get special ceremonies just from moving from one grade on to the next. the mom writes, i don't want to send my child the message that

each and every step in their winding path is one where we need to stop, drop and celebrate. if you ask me, passing a grade that you're expecting to pass is not worthy of a graduation. >> awe. >> how do you feel about this? >> i think it's a little grumpy. >> i agree. >> one of my favorite -- some of my favorite pictures are of my kids kindergarten graduation and middle school graduation. >> we sat there -- i've got videos on here, we cast them up and watched them at home with the other kids. it was fantastic. >> and years from now when you look at it it's like my gosh. >> yeah. >> my daughter is graduating from fifth grade tomorrow morning. i will be there. and i'm looking forward to it especially the performance. >> there's a performance? >> i don't know. there's some kind of performance performance. >> you can tell all the parents are zooming into their own kid. >> and the person sit down you're blocking my kid. >> okay.

can we ask people to please not take pictures with ipads? come on, too big. >> perfect. >> or the iphone 6 which is as big as an ipad. >> or actual movie crews. >> that's what i'm going to do when little veil graduates. check out the photos of this little girl. she stole the show at her mom's wedding. this is little anderson. she was the flower girl. total cutie. when the photographer asked the bride and groom to kiss, anderson went for it. she put her arm around iekke, the ring bearer, and she planted a massive iveive kiss. she had a perfectly good reason for doing it. >> it was my wedding too. >> yeah, it was her wedding too. >> meanwhile the little ring bearer went online volunteering to appear in any wedding in the near future. >> exactly. >> what a great photo that would be if they ended up together.

suspect. dylann roof was captured in shelby. six women, three men were in the shooting. police say they have caught the suspect, 21-year-old dylann roof. let's go right to craig melvin in charleston. what can you tell us? >> reporter: i can tell you that this community is breathing a collective sigh of relief. that 21-year-old captured roughly four hours away from here in shelby, north carolina. shelby is a town just eat of charlotte, north carolina. at this point we do not have a great amount of circumstances of which he was taken into custody. we don't know his condition. but he was taken into custody and law enforcement officials say he is going to be brought back to this part of south carolina. it's a little country, brought back fairly quickly, i'm told. again at this point, officials believe that the 21-year-old is the same man who walked into the church about a block from here. walked into that church last

night shortly after 9:00, sat with parishioners about an hour and then stood up and opened fire. an eyewitness telling nbc news a few hours ago that before he opened fire, roof uttered some sort of racist nonsense. we're told at that point he then left the church and was captured in shelby, north carolina. officials have not said where in shelby. we don't know if it was a relative's house or friend's house. he's thought to be brought back to charleston quickly. meanwhile at this hour a vigil is being held here in charleston, south carolina, to remember the victims. among them reverend clementa pinckney. >> i can't imagine the emotion. how can you describe it there? i know it was scary for a moment. i can't even imagine. >> reporter: it's been scary all night. there have been folks who have been camped out here all night

around the church. parishioners of the church. but just to give you a sense of the relief, a woman standing behind me here on the corner after word spread that the suspect had been caught, she screamed out praise jesus, praise jesus. she then went to the vigil. keep in mind, sheinelle, this is the same community, charleston, south carolina, the same place where just a few weeks ago the walter scott shooting, that shooting that was caught on tape and captivated the country, the officer since then indicted and charged. that happened just three miles from here. so this is a community that has been dealing with a great deal as of late. >> a lot of tension. i should mention south carolina governor nikki haley spoke a few moments ago about the tragedy. let's hear what she had to say. >> we woke up today and the heart and soul of south carolina

was broken. and we have some grieving to do. and we've got some pain we have to go through. parents are having to explain to their kids how to feel safe. and that's not something we ever thought we'd deal with. >> craig, at least now, you know, parents can tell their kids that he's in custody. >> reporter: yeah. that does bring some solace to this community. six women, three men shot and killed inside a church. not just any church. this is the oldest church in the southern part of this country on the historic registry list in south carolina. it's been burned to the ground by slave owners roughly 150 years ago. it was built back then i'm told by officials that it will be built back once again. >> all right. we can see it's certainly busy there behind you. of course now the interview process begins. so many people want to know why.

now back to "today's take." >> -- anniversary of the constitutional amendment that gives women the right to vote. perfect timing. among the candidates, betsy ross and the factoid of the day if you're sitting at home to show people how smart you are, you can say on "today's take" you learned that martha washington was the only woman to appear on a u.s. currency note. and that was the u.s. dollar in the great year of 1896. >> wow. >> long time. long time coming. so, yes. so we've been talking to people in the orange room. kind of polling people on who they think --

>> want to bring on a desert island. >> uh-huh. >> chang said how about a magical seashell that's always filled with bourbon? >> oh. >> a magical palm three had a

lot of shade, instead of coconuts, peanut butter jelly sandwiches with chee-tos underneath and his wife. that is possibly always happy and possibly naked. >> there's a lot of nudie in this channing. i'll be honest with you. >> a magical seashell filled with bourbon. >> i'm down with that. >> what would you want? >> want to be able to fly. >> no. on a deserted island? >> debra. -- then it kids got nobody. living off the grid. where's mom and dad? who cares. party! but first, this -- "today's" weather is brought to you by -- yoplait. yoplait original now with 25% less sugar and all 25 delicious flavors. we're still talking tropical depression bill. 50 miles east south east of oklahoma city with winds of 25

news conferences in the last half hour. >> reporter: there have been chuck. the city of charleston is breathing a collective sigh of relief right now. a block from me there is is a vigil going on where the victims are being remembered. six women, three men, shot inside that church last night when officials say the suspect walked in sat with parishioners roughly for an hour during prayer service at the end of prayer service he stood up and opened fire. and an eyewitness told nbc news a few hours ago at some point during the firing while he was reloading, he uttered some sort of racial nonsense. as you indicated, he was taken into custody about an hour ago in shelby north carolina. shelby a sense of where that is about four hours north of where we are here in charleston. it's a city that's east of charlotte. we do not know the circumstances under which he was taken into custody, chuck. >> all right. let's go to the president.

good morning. i spoke with and vice president biden spoke with mayor joel riley and other leaders of charleston sow express our deep sorrow over the senseless murders that took place last night. michelle and i know several members of emanuel ame church. we knew their pastor reverend clementa pinckney who along with eight others gathered in prayer and fellowship and was murdered last night. and to say our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families and their community doesn't say enough to convey the heartache and the sadness and the anger that we feel. any death of this sort is a tragedy.

any shooting involving multiple victims is a tragedy. there is something particularly heartbreaking about a death happening in a place in which we seek solace and we seek peace. in a place of worship. mother emanuel is, in fact, more than a church. this is a place of worship founded by african-americans seeking liberty. this is is a church that was burned to the ground because its worshippers worked to end slavery. when there were laws banning all black church gather arings they conducted church services in secret. when there was a non-violent movement top bring our country closer in line with our highest

ideals some of our brightest leaders spoke and led marches from this church's steps. this is a sacred place in the history of charleston and in the history of america. the fbi is now on the scene with local police and more of the bureau's best are on the way to join them. the attorney general has announced plans for the fbi to open a hate crime investigation. we understand that the suspect is in custody and i'll let the best of law enforcement do its work to make sure that justice is served. until the investigation is complete unnecessarily constrained in talking about the details of the case but i don't need to be constrained about the emotions that tragedies like this raise. i've had to make statements like this too many times. communities like this have had

to endure tragedies like this too many times. we don't have all the facts, but we do know that once again innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun. now is the time for mourning and for healing, but let's be clear -- at some point we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. it doesn't happen in our places with this kind of frequency. and it is in our power to do something about it. i say that recognizing the politics in this town.

foreclose a lot of those after news right now, but it would be wrong for us not to acknowledge it. and at some point it's going to be important for the american people to come to grips with it. and for us to be able to shift how we think about the issue of gun violence collectively. the fact that this took place in a black church obviously also raises questions about a dark part of our history. this is not the first time that black churches have been attacked and we know that hatred across races and faiths pose a particular threat to our democracy and our ideals. the good news is i am confident that the outpouring of unity and strength and fellowship and love

across charleston today from all races, from all faiths, from all places of worship in the -- indicates the degree to which those old vestiges of hatred can be overcome. that certainly was dr. king's hope just over 50 years ago, after four little girls were killed in a bombing in a black church in berm hammirminghambirmingham alabama. he said they lived meaningful lives and they died nobly. they say to each of us dr. king said black and white alike, that we must substitute courage for caution. they say to us that we must be concerned not merely with who murdered them, but about the system the way of life the philosophy which produced the murderers. their death says to us that we must work passionately and unrelentingly for the

realization of the american dream and if one will hold on he will discover that god walks with him, and that god is able to lift you from the fatigue of despair, to the buoyancy of hope and transform dark and desolate valleys into sun-lit paths of inner peace. reverend pinckney and his congregation understood that spirit. their christian faith compelled them to reach out not just to members of their congregation worked to members of their own communities, but to all they opened their doors, to strangers, who might enter a church in search of healing or redemption. mother emanuel church and its congregation have risen before from flames from an earthquake

from other dark times to give hope to generations of charlestonians waned our prayers and our love and the buoyancy of hope, it will rise again now as a place of peace. thank you. >> mr. president, what would you do differently on gun control? a very emotional president talking about the loss of somebody he knew in the reverend from the emanuel ame church down there in charleston also a very frustrated president obama noting he had made statements like this on mass violence too many times. my old colleague at the white house, mark knoller, actually says it's 14 separate occasions that we've heard from the president during his tenure at the white house on some sort of mass shooting. president talking about the ease with which a gun was able to be used here, and then he also talked about the fact that there clearly was race playing a role in this.

let's go over to my colleague kristen welker at the white house. kristen, that was a it was a different president obama than i've seen in other of these statements. yes, it was emotional, but there was this sort of edge to him, a frustration. >> reporter: a frustration and anger, chuck, we heard from president obama. he did speak as you say in deeply personal terms, talked about the fact he and the first lady know many members of the ame church including reverend pinchny, of coursepinchny who was killed and spoke about the nation shifting its thinkinging when it comes to gun violence. you recall back in 2012 in the aftermath of the sandy hook shooting he e pressed for stiffer gun laws that didn't come to pass. this is the first time we've heard him revisit that language and significant he was joined by the vice president who recently suffered his own personal tragedy and led the fight for new gun laws. chuck? >> kristen welker thanks very much. of course we'll have a lot

more on what's going on in charleston. we'll be on the scene in charleston all over this story. stay tuned for the "nbc nightly news" at 6:30 tonight on your local nbc stations. taking a look at the headlines specifically designed to prevent migraine headaches are showing significant promise. more than half the patients in preliminary studies saw at least a 50% reduction in the number of migraines they had each week. the new class of drugs appeared to have minimal side effects. an estimated 36 million americans suffer migraine attacks. they're more likely to strike women than men. transfats are used to improve taste and texture in processed foods may affect your memory. in a study at the san diego school of medicine men who took a memory test saw their performance drop with each additional gram of transfat they consumed each day. just this week the fda ordered

great smile. then i look at the pictures of him and the two of us standing together he's shorter than i am. he was a little guy. he was like a polly pocket, but he was just this big person, and it was because he was generous in spirit. one of the greatest lessons i learned from my dad was to make sure your children know that you love them. he made sure at the end of every conversation over the phone i love you. if you were in person it was a hug and a kiss and an i love you. there's nothing better. i try to emulate him. i try to let my children know how much i love them. i'm a hugger. i like to go in for a hug and a kiss. i think much to the chagrin of many. there's kind of the side guy hug

where you kind of -- as opposed to the wrap around bear hug. that's the hug. you always knew where you stood with him. i realized i most appreciated was without being too sappy when he lost the ability to talk. you know he didn't need to say anything because you already knew. he was all about his children. he wanted his children to be better than he was. he was a great bar to try to rise above. >> wow. it's funny i think -- i didn't realize how special he was about this. when he would have family get togethers and i say hi to my uncles and give them a hug and a kiss hey, hold on a sec! the handshake. >> there's still the awkward moment. my dad and i have grown to be huggers but with other men in

your life, friends, brothers-in-law huggers or handshakers? some guys don't want the hugs. i've become a big hugger. >> i love hugs. and you see guys embrace each other. there's an extra connection there. >> my dad was a bus driver for most of my childhood. in a way my youngest brother who was 16 years different had a different dad. he moved to transit dad. my dad worked in a bus depot and i got to ride the buss with him! i had a subway repair card so i got see the subway cars up on lifts. i had a great time. bus drivers were buying me candy and ice cream. my brother got to play with a xerox machine. >> but he got the management dad that meant more money. >> i got more time. my dad was a bus driver. skbli

got mint and it's got other kinds of flavors in there that you wouldn't normally have in a hamburger because our parents raised us like red white and blue. but the foods that we had were from egypt. my dad worked a lot, and he was always building a career a business, and all those kind of things. and the fact that he was back there cooking ever is a big memory for me. >> beautiful. >> thank you. my brother adel's here. yay. and i'll tell you why. adel came to help make the kofta because one of us is a better cook than the other. >> it's not hoda. >> it's not me, right? >> hey, by the way, happy father's day to you. >> thank you very much. >> you have beautiful little -- >> show the picture of hannah and ella. >> it's okay. there's enough pictures of her. >> you're right. how do you make -- since you paid attention when we were kids and i didn't how do you make it?

because of the different spices, you can really -- >> mint's an interesting food in there. >> oh yeah. it's great. >> while it's cooking then you put something on top of it? >> yep. this is the yogurt relish. same thing. mint and parsley. pepper. dump it all in. >> by the way kath, adel's actually a very good cook. unlike his older sister, me. >> palis pala a good cook? >> pala's good. >> my wife's great. colleen. she's amazing. >> mush it up. put the cucumbers in. >> nobody told me. >> all right. >> you could have had it except for the yogurt, right? so you can have it without the yogurt. >> and then so you dress them up? >> yep. dress this up. >> that's all right. let me pop this here.
