saturday morning. i'm erica hill. >> i'm craig melvin along side chanelle jones and dylan. >> 1-0. defense. spectacular. quarter phenyl game last night. germany coming up in the semifinals on tuesday. >> this is big doings. this is big doings. >> we will be watching that. our top story this morning is the growing search for convicted killer david sweat one day after police shot and killed his accomplice richard matt. stephanie goss has been following this since the beginning. she's on the scene in upstate new york this morning. good morning. >> hey, good morning, erica. well this began with a 911 call. a vacationer realized his camper had been shot at so he called police. police brought in a border tactical team in a chopper, landed in the forest and then hunted richard matt down found him, and shot him.

people in this area went to bed last night with all of their roads closed an fbi plane circling overhead hoping that they would catch david sweat too, but they are waking up to the news that he is still on the run, and this manhunt is still on. >> reporter: david sweat is thought to be somewhere in these dense woods still at large this morning after authorities shot and killed his accomplice convicted murderer richard matt. >> one guy down. >> customs and border protection met up with matt in the woods, challenged him, and he was shot dead by border patrol at that time. >> reporter: multiple law enforcement sources tell nbc news matt and sweat were traveling close together 50 miles from the clinton correctional facility when a border patrol tactical team encountered matt and opened fire when he pointed a shotgun at them. >> there were several leads that are being tracked down as we speak, but we don't have

anything to confirm where mr. sweat is at this time. >> reporter: a big break came a week ago when dna evidence at a cabin near allentown, new york was found to be a positive match to both convicts. we got a look at that cabin located deep in the woods. >> it's a hike up here and matt and sweat would have had to come along this road. the question everyone has who lives here on their mind is how did they know to make the turn back there? how did they know to keep walking? >> reporter: it's part of a hunting camp called twisted horn which is owned by corrections officers leading to more questions. matt's capture is instilling a sense of relief in the community. >> for 20 days we've been having to lock our doors. >> reporter: authorities continue to hunt for sweat who is still on the run this morning. >> i'm sure he is well aware of the shoot-out between matt and what went on there, so he is desperate. >> authorities want to catch david sweat alive because they want to know how this prison

escape happened in the first place. their concern, as you just heard, is that he is even more dangerous, more desperate now that his partner has been killed. erica. >> stephanie goss thanks. clint van zandt is a former fbi profiler and joins us this morning. >> good morning, erica. >> police believe they were traveling close together but it hasn't been confirmed that they were actually traveling together. if sweat is aware of matt's death at this point, what is his state of mind? how does that influence him? >> well, there's a couple of things going on. number one, trail camera picked up their picture earlier this week. both of them traveling together carrying at least one shotgun between them. we have photographic evidence. number two, law enforcement has found two sets of footprints in a number of locations recently to indicate that the two were still traveling together. the challenge is right now with those last few minutes when matt was challenged and shot by the

authorities, was sweat exactly nearby had they decided each to go their own way, but i tell you right now sweat has lost the impotus that he has. he may have been the leader the more sociopathic of the two. he has no one else to count on. nobody to say, okay you take a nap and i'll watch and then we'll switch roles again. he is as desperate as he could be and i think law enforcement last week believe he might have been heading for the canadian border. that's why if you are on that border right now, you've seen mountees all the way across the border waiting on the chance that he may be coming across. >> is there a chance that he knows that? what are the chances that these two may have been listening to a radio, watching television, and have heard that authorities believe they're headed towards canada and they believe they're on this northern route? would he be of the state of mind to be capable of changing his

plans? >> he is really going to be desperate right now because for three weeks he has had somebody to bounce ideas off of, maybe somebody who was in the leadership position. you have two together then somebody takes the leadership role. that somebody is apparently gone right now. law enforcement believes they have this somewhat of an iron circle drawn around the entire area. they've got two things to do. number one, at the cabin where matt was seen they're going to have law enforcement pushing out. then they're going to take that outer perimeter, maybe two miles or further out, and they're going to bring that in. >> if you could really quickly touch on for me these cabins in this area that's tough to get to owned by corrections officers. that raises a red flag does it not? >> well i think law enforcement is of the opinion that there may well be other people involved from the inside of the prison who provided help. there's interviews going on and i think that it's an entirely

separate investigation that's not over yet. they want like to catch sweat alive because obviously that's what law enforcement does but he is the one that can shed some light on who helped them escape in the first place. >> a lot of questions to be answered. appreciate you being with us this morning. clint van zandt, thanks. now to the growing threat from isis. the terror group now claiming responsibility for two of three deadly attacks friday including this one on a tunisian beach as well as one in kuwait. u.s. officials this morning are warning about an isis-inspired attack here in this country during the fourth of july weekend. nbc's kelly has the latest from tunisia. >> reporter: terror on the sand. tourists running from their beach hotel friday morning. the horrifying scene caught on cell phone video and posted on-line by a tunisian radio station. gunshots ringing out over and

over. bodies in the sand. at least 39 are dead and nearly as many injured. >> i saw the gunman firing shots randomly at people laying on the beach. >> reporter: the gunman was shot dead in the street. at least two others were arrested. just three months ago an attack on tunisia's national museum left 20 dead. most of them tourists. this morning isis released a message and a picture of 23-year-old tunisian aviation student, calling him a soldier and claiming responsibility. it was one of three terror attacks on three continents friday. in kuwait security cameras showed the moments before another attack. a suicide bomber posing as a worshipper and attacked a shiite mosque. more than 200 injured. the third attack was at an american-owned gas factory outside leon france.

the severed head of their employer was found within the gates. the suspect, his wife and two others have been arrested. just this week an isis spokesman called on muslims everywhere to rise up and make ramadan a month of cal amity, but u.s. officials said there was no indication the attacks were coordinated. kelly, nbc news tunisia. en coleman is an nbc terrorism analyst. what are your sources telling you about the connection between these three attacks? >> well so far we don't see much of one. the statements that that you don't refer to the idea that this was a coordinated attack. if you look at the attacks that took place, you have an attack on a gas plant, an attack on tourists and, of course the third attack on shiites. there's no real common strain there. we have a suggestion from isis that honestly looking at the scale of these attacks, particularly in france where you had literally a guy go out and murder his boss but murder

him in a jihadist kind of way in a very obscure target, a very obscure part of france. it's difficult to imagine that this is part of some kind of sophisticated coordinated plot. particularly since the attack on france was unable to successfully detonate gas canisters when there was no one stopping him. he was actually arrested while trying to open up a gas canister. that doesn't exactly strike you as a 9/11 hijacker or carlos the jackel. this guy seems relatively unsophisticated. >> as we heard from kelly's report isis militants are calling on their followers to continue to attack during ramadan. we are just ten days into ramadan. how reasonable is it to expect that we're going to see more of these attacks? >> for years we've been talking about anniversary dates. christmas, july 4th. how much importance terrorists put on these dates. in the past we've been saying, look al qaeda has more important things to worry about january july 4th. we're in a different generation of terrorists now. these are mostly homegrown

extremists people living in western countries, and as such these people do put an enormous amount of importance on holidays because there's an importance here in this country. look is there a concern that a home grown extremist would do something? it's possible. i think it's important to recognize that these folks are not the a team. they're the b team. it doesn't take a ph.d. to murder someone. you can hurt someone without a lot of smarts but these folks are not terribly sophisticated. what they're doing is bad, and it's disturbing but it's not nearly on the scale of what we saw from al qaeda in the days of 9/11. >> we always appreciate your insight. >> thank you so much. another big news this morning of what has become a really historic week for president obama from two influential supreme court rulings. one, legalizing same-sex marriage. the other upholding obama care. to that eulogy he delivered on

friday afternoon for charleston pastor. kristen, good morning. >> erica, good morning to you. any one of these week's headlines could have been a monumental part of this president's legacy but taken together they form an unforgettable chapter in history. >> reporter: images that punctuate a legacy-defining week. an outpouring of emotion at the supreme court. the white house glowing in a rainbow of pride late friday night. while earlier in the day in south carolina the president helping to heal a community and a nation. >> the family of the fallen the nation shares in your grief. >> this could be remembered as the week that really set president obama's legacy into stone. >> reporter: a stunning turn of events for a president who has been locked in a bitter battle with republicans, but this week it was republicans who helped secure major victories for him. a bipartisan deal on trade. chief justice john roberts, a

had to be airlifted to the hospital. so far this season there have been several shark attacks in north carolina and sighting from maine to florida. scary moments on a southwestern flight. passengers had just boarded flight 397 from houston to memphis when the smell of smoke prompted the pilot to order an evacuation. you see passengers heading to the aisles and trying to get off of the plane. all were able to leave safely. the plane was taken out of service for inspection and the passengers continued their trip on other flights. and the american women's soccer team is on its way to the world cup semifinals. it took 51 minutes for the u.s. to score the single goal of the game. they go on to face germany on tuesday. congratulations to those ladies. >> put that on your calendar. >> it's exciting. >> a little check of the weather for us now. >> i do. >> it's going to be a little wet. it's going to cool things down. it has been exceptionally hot across the eastern half of the country for quite some time.

it's a holiday, we thought it was a good time to do a little fact or fiction when it comes to making sure your eyes are properly protected from the harsh effects of the sun. dr. annie gray is an ophthalmol opthalmologist and joins us this morning. >> let's clear up first of all, we love the fashion accessory part of the sunglasses. but what is the real reason behind needing to protect our eyes from the sun? >> sun exposure in the eyes leads to a whole host of problems from serious to just a little painful. most people don't realize the sun is just as bad for your eyes as it is for your skin. so you can get a sunburn in your eyes did you realize that? >> i had no idea. >> it's just as painful as a sunburn on your skin. >> we know we need to protect them now we do a little true or false to test our knowledge. first of all, can we test those labels that give us the uva and the uva protection. >> can we trust them? absolutely. when you're in a reputable store that could be your local drug store, target has some great brands and you're looking for the label that says 100%

uva/uvb, or 400 mm. there's a couple examples of those here today. the point is you don't have to spend a lot on sunglasses i got a couple of wonderful brands today that protect you just as much as the high price point in a specialty line store. >> so as long as you see that that must be a regulated sticker for them to be allowed to put it on there. so we can trust them. the next one, true or false, kids should wear sunglasses. >> in is so true we know that most of the damage to our eyes is done by the time we're in our 20s. so kids represent a unique chance to protect their eyes while they're young. now it's not easy to get kids to wear sunglasses if you're like me i'm chasing around the kids in the playground wear your sunglasses. it should become habit when you put the sunblock on them. get them a pair of sunglasses that they like that they want to wear. it should be fun. for kids that are really young like toddlers or babies they have straps so they don't lose them as often. >> which are great and the straps attach. and you may want to just parent

tip, buy two paires if they really like them. it will make your life easier in the end. what about polarized, does it mean your eyes are more protected? >> no polarization has nothing to do with protecting your eyes. this is a big misconception, that people don't realize. polarization is about anti-glare so if you're out on the water, or skiing the reflection from snow or different surfaces can be annoying polarization has nothing to do with u.s. blockv blocking. >> cloudy day, do you still need sunglasses? >> absolutely. if it's cloudy raining, a freezing december day, if it's daytime, the sun's uv rays can get into your eyes and a lot of people think early-morning, late afternoon, the sun is not as strong right? >> yeah. >> that's actually when the sun's position is lower in the sky and gets more directly into our eyes. so those early morning, early afternoon strolls is when it's most important to wear your sunglasses. we don't have the eyebrow ridge when the sun comes from the top

to protect us. it's lower in the sky. >> would you think at noon because the sun feels so much stronger it would be stronger on your eyes. >> exactly, it's worse for your skin at noon. exactly. >> i love these, all great tips. nice to have you with us. >> thanks for having me. >> i would like the hello kitty ones they match my dress. jimmy fallon is recovering after a strange injury involving his wedding ring and a table. what exactly happened? i'll let him explain. when were you first considered a family? when you fell in love?

they're all available at any grocery store you go to. our technique tip here today is any time you use a round vegetable, especially potatoes they like to roll around on the cutting board. that can be a little dangerous. so best thing to do is cut a flat edge on the side and then it's stable and then can you get your -- your even slices. >> and you can get dices a little more even as well. >> your dice is even that's important when you're cooking, you want everything to cook at the same rate. >> so it cooks evenly. you don't have the little burnt pieces and undercooked pieces. >> when we move to the pan, you're using butter and oil. the heat of the pan before you put them in -- >> is really important. you want a hot pan. i always do medium high heat you can move it up or down if necessary. this is warm it's got the oil and the butter we're going do throw in our shallots, i like a lot of shallots. if you don't like this many you don't have to put in this many. i'm going to saute this for a

second. i want to coat them but not cook them. they will get brown really fast. if it is burnt, it tastes really bitter. we're going to throw the sweet potatoes in that pan. that's go to cook at a different rate depending on the size of your potatoes. >> this is our today's swap. some folks, my husband included no the a fan of sweet potatoes you say a good swap would be a red bliss potato. just scrub them really well but keep the skins on. >> nice color. >> more nutrients in the skin. i'm going to put a little bit of paprika in here a little salt. a little pepper which over there, can i just put that in. and then it makes it a little bit more rustic cowboy too. to leave the skins on there. so this is going to cook down for like 10-15 minutes. we've got our pan ready to go i'm going to put in the rest of my ingredients, i've got maple chicken breakfast sausage. it comes fully cooked. if you don't get one fully cooked. a little tip, throw it in the oven the night before and then

the next morning dice it up and throw it in. >> you're going to put our chicken sausage in. it makes it healthier. >> a little extra protein. >> i put kale in mine because it's healthy. if you don't like kale you can put red pep anywhere there or shaved brussel sprouts, that would be delicious and your kids the kids won't notice as much. i like your thinking. we're going to throw in a little sage and parsley. >> and because we are waiting on the potatoes to cook. which is 10-15 minutes. >> we're going to heat them through. >> because you can smell it already. >> it smells amazing. >> cook it for another like three or four minutes. >> then we're going to make our wells for our eggs. because we've said everything is in one pot. can you use a cookie cutter. >> you can use a can or a glass, make sure it's a sturdy glass. i'm going to do two, but you can do four. depending on how many people you have that's kind of sloppy. >> we're not judging.

>> we're going to crack into the pan there. and that's going to start cooking on the bottom right away because it's a hot pan. i'm going to talk it with a little more salt on top of the eggs and do gruyere cheese do that all the way around. you can do different cheeses, too, manchego would be really nice. goat cheese i like my egg as little bit runny. so i'm going to throw it under the broiler for two minutes, if you like them cooked a little more. throw them into a 400-degree oven. >> can you do this for brunch when people come over. >> this is a beautiful presentation. too. >> i think we need to try it. >> it's in an amazing skillet. >> craig has all of the forks. >> i'll take one down to the ladies. >> i like them a little nest right there. >> this looks so good. >> can we say how beautiful this is? >> quick, easy. inexpensive. >> one pan. >> one pan. >> i'll take that. >> can i eat it out of the pan?
