our top story this morning that deadly shooting in a neighborhood outside of pittsburgh and the desperate search for at least two gunmen. we have a reporter leave. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, matt and savannah. police have left the scene but tell me they will be back out to the shooting scene behind me here in wilkinsburg very soon. allegheny county police say they are looking for two gunmen they believe carried out the attack about 11:00 last night. the gunmen opened fire in an ambush-style attack during a barbecue. bullets riddling a backyard filled with partygoers. >> we've got multiple people shot here. >> i have six people down. >> total of five people deceased, three other people with gunshot wounds, two in critical and one in stable.

>> reporter: police say the bodies of four of the victims, three women and one man, were found on the back porch of a house. investigators say shots may have been fired from an ally near the rear of the home and two different weapons could have been discharged from two different suspects. residents say they were walking in the area when they heard gunshots and saw people running way from the house. >> probably shocking everyone else up here. i'm shaking because it's pretty bad. >> reporter: right now police do not have a motive for the shooting. as for the three surviving victims two men are in critical condition and one woman in stable condition at the hospital. matt and savannah, back to you. >> thank you so much. let us turn to the presidenti race. hillary clinton and bernie sanders clashed on the debate stage last night ahead of next tuesday's crucial winner-takes-all primaries in florida and ohio. the republican candidates have their own debate tonight.

we've got both races covered beginning with the democrats and nbc's kristen welker. kristen, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning to you. secretary clinton and senator sanders will spend the day barnstorming. ohio and illinois looking a lot more competitive. the biggest prize is right here, florida. with the democrats locked in an increasingly fierce fight secretary clinton faced one of the sharpest exchanges yet. it's about the fbi investigation into her private e-mail server. >> if you get indicted, would you drop out? >> oh, my goodness. that's another even going to happen. i'm not going to answer that question. >> reporter: clinton took aim at senator sanders for opposing the auto bailout which saved millions of midwest jobs. >> if everyone had voted as he voted, we would not have rescued -- >> it was the wall street bailout. >> reporter: clinton used the

strategy heading into the michigan primary but still lost in a stunning upset to sanders. help win ohio and illinois. >> the candidates sparred over immigration. >> you are telling us if you become president you won't deport children? >> i will not. >> i don't think the secretary fully answered the question. i think the proof may be in the pudding. >> reporter: while both candidates took sharp aim at donald trump they deflected a question about whether he is a racist. >> i think it is unamerican. i think what he has promoted is not at all in keeping with american values. >> i think that the american people are never going to elect a president who insults mexicans, who insults muslims. >> reporter: and clinton with a rare moment of candor when asked why so many voters say they don't trust her.

>> i'm not a natural politician. i have a view that i just have to do the best i can. >> reporter: senator sanders still has a very steep climb in order to win the nomination he would have to win more than 60% of the delegates moving forward but he has a lot of momentum and a lot of money in his war chest. >> that momentum could be key going into next tuesday in ohio and florida. >> reporter: the stakes couldn't be higher next tuesday. if secretary clinton has a strong showing and wins florida and illinois it solidifies her as a frontrunner and puts the race out of reach mathematically. that is something she and her team are eager to do. if senator sanders were to win in ohio or missouri this would make him a real contender and he is making a real play for these

states outpacing secretary clinton in ad spending and it would add to momentum. that is when you see the race stretching through the spring and possibly the convention. >> let's talk about the republicans meeting for the 12th debate of the campaign and there are signs we might not see tough personal jabs that dominated last week in detroit. peter alexander is covering the race for us. >> reporter: beautiful backdrop here at the university of miami. marco rubio is candidly acknowledging that his personal mudslinging may have backfired. he is going to have to change strategies quickly if he wants to win next tuesday.

>> you're going to love your president. >> reporter: donald trump looking to notch another win in north carolina. >> he has the great wall of trump. that's done with love. >> reporter: raising eyebrows when asked whether islam is at war with the west. >> i think islam hates us. there is something there that is a tremendous hatred. >> reporter: stepping in the ring with rivals the billionaire boasting he will bring home the championship belt with wins in florida and ohio next week. >> the ultimate way of doing it. if you knock him out nothing can happen. >> reporter: will marco rubio pull his punches? facing do or die in his home state the florida senator expressing regret about trading insults with trump. >> you know what they say about men with small hands. >> reporter: speaking with chuck todd. >> not something i'm entirely proud of. my kids were embarrassed by it. >> reporter: compare that to comments last week. >> are you sorry you went there?

>> no. best man to defeat trump. >> at this point our campaign has beaten donald trump not once, not twice, not three times, but eight separate times. >> reporter: touting new support from a familiar face, carly fiorina. >> there are other people in our party who actually are kind of horrified by donald trump. i'm one of them. >> reporter: still looking for his first win john kasich's positive push may finally pay off. >> i refuse to get down in the mud to be elected president of the united states. okay? i refuse to. >> reporter: with new poll numbers that show kasich now leading trump in his home state. >> he is' going to lose ohio, i'm going to win ohio, just

catch. >> reporter: five days out predicting victory. >> one outstanding question is will the former florida governor, jeb bush, endorse any of the other candidates? he met privately with marco rubio yesterday, he will meet with ted cruz and john kasich today. sources familiar with his thinking tell nbc news that he hasn't made any decisions yet about whether or not he will endorse, but what happens tonight at the debate certainly could affect that choice. matt and savanna. >> who could forget last week's debate it got so personal and nasty. do you know anything about how the candidates have adjusted their strategies or should we expect more of the same? >> reporter: it's going to be what we're watching for tonight. marco rubio tell graphic the need to focus more on policy and demonstrate donald trump is an empty vessel for america's frustration suggesting that he is a better choice in this race, ted cruz and john kasich will be doing the same. this is the last opportunity for all these candidates trying to stop donald trump ahead of super

tuesday, 367 delegates there, rubio has said that he will win his own state, he needs to do that on tuesday, john kasich has said he will win his home state, he needs to do that on us too. they may cater their messages no those audiences. donald trump has won 44% of the delegates. if he wins florida but loses ohio he will need to win 59% of the remaining delegates to clinch the nomination. even for trump the stakes are high tonight. mat and savannah. >> coming down to florida, florida, florida and ohio, ohio, ohio. let's take a look at those deadly storms that are wreaking havoc across the south, record rain, historic flooding with tens of millions still facing tough weather today. nbc's janet shamlian is in hard hit louisiana east of shreveport. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you. it is not over here in louisiana. some of the homes in this neighborhood have five feet of standing water still inside them this morning and now they are expecting round two. forecasts say as much as five additional inches of rain, it's

raining here right now, plus this afternoon the threat of tornadoes. for this storm weary region people are wondering how much more can they take. this morning's severe weather is putting millions at risk. tens of thousands still without power. record breaking rainfall and deadly flooding ravaging much of the south. waters devastating parts of the east texas and louisiana. overnight flash floods in west monroe forcing road closure as rain water inundated this shopping center. and near shreveport some residents still can't get back to their flooded homes. many of those residences submerged up to the roof. >> i think it's already crested. >> reporter: the water level so high this bridge now barely clears the flooding. >> there is nowhere for the water to go, all the ditches are full and as itness to rain it continues to back up. >> reporter: cars stranded and abandoned in the road. others almost fully submerged in driveways. >> it was rising so fast it felt

like a current from a river. i had no idea how to deal with a flooded house. >> reporter: authorities coming to the rescue of the elderly and so did the national guard. residents forced to evacuate themselves and their pets. others now gathering what's left from ruined homes. >> everything you see is gone. i have a brand new roof on a house that's absolutely worthless. me and my three kids lost everything today. >> reporter: james returning to get hope for his three young daughters. >> they need dry clothes. >> reporter: there are temporary shelters for some of those displaysed. >> we want to keep everybody safe through this and if everybody can work together we will get through it. >> reporter: now those residents are anxious to see when they will be able to return and what will be left when they do. >> and i can tell you there's not a lot left. that man in the piece we talked to him he was carrying out in his arms all that was dry in his daughters' rooms, it was like a handful of clothing. the story from her just heart breaking. back to you guys. >> it is, janet shamlian, thank

you very much. >> what's going to happen with all this? >> unfortunately we don't have any relief for at least the next 72 hours. this is just going to stream in here. we have an upper level low stuck over next co blocking high pressure. you can see this rain train coming on in, pushing in more rain from eastern texas into louisiana, now moving into mississippi. they've dropped some of the warnings back through central texas, but still 15 million people under a flooding risk, 3 million people under flash flooding. that's because it's only going to take another half an inch to an inch of rain to cause more flooding and look at these storms move over the same cities already with saturated ground, the heaviest rain starts to shift east by tomorrow moving into alabama, the panhandle of florida, but look at the rainfall totals. right now we are expecting upwards of about 7 to 10 inches of rain throughout much of louisiana, that moves on into parts of mississippi and alabama and we will continue to see that rain, guys, for at least 72

hours then it finally does dry out, but right now not good news. >> i haven't seen a map like that of yours in a long time. >> this is more like a hurricane, the moisture from a tropical system, these are the rainfall rates we would see. there are new developments this morning on that failed drug test by tennis superstar maria sharapova that she claims is an honest mistake but now a suggestion that she was warned multiple times that the drug was going to be banned. >> bill neely has this part of the story. >> reporter: good morning. in two days the world's highest earning sports woman will begin a temporary ban from tennis. maria shave movie have a says i wish i didn't have to go through this because she's under growing pressure from sponsors and officials who say she should have known better. the big question is this the end of had err career? she's on her knees under fire

from the tennis world dropped by some major sponsors, one of whom filmed her saying this in an ad. >> are you where you are today because you followed the rules? sharapova admitted rules and admitted this week testing positive for meldonium a heart drug she took for ten years that was banned this year. some fellow players like certificate roen in a williams and djokovic have rushed to her defense, others say it's a bad day for tennis. >> the rules are like this and it's fair and now she must pay for it. >> reporter: her former coach blames her team. >> that's where her team bet her down. her physical trainer, her doctor, her agent, her coach, somebody should have looked at that list. >> anti-doping officials don't buy that saying she was warned about the drug five times in a month. she was reckless, saying one. >> i'm sorry. if you're running a $30 million

a year sole proprietorship you damn well make certain that you don't do anything that makes you ineligible. >> reporter: of her $30 million earnings, $23 million comes from endorsements. nike has suspended her $70 million deal, the racquet maker head is extending her contract, praising her honesty. in an open letter to her fans sharapova says i'm determined to play tennis again and i hope i will have the chance to do so. i wish i didn't have to go through this, but i do and i will. the stakes are huge, it's not just the money, she faces a possible ban of four years. >> i don't want to end my career this way. >> reporter: but a lengthy ban would do just that for the richest woman in tennis. but there are questions, too, for that world anti-doping body, why on earth did it allow a heart drug that was a known stimulant not allowed in the

u.s. to be legal for decades? sharapova took it along with hundreds of world class athletes, dozens of them have now tested positive. guys, how many more drugs like this are out there, legal not made for athletes, but giving some a winning edge? matt, savannah. >> questions to go around this morning. thank you. we have an update now on the flint, michigan, water crisis. the city says it will stop sending water bills to residents temporarily until credits can be applied to those customers. last week michigan's governor approved a $30 million plan to help residents with their water bills. flint's water was taint wd with lead after the city switched from detroit's water department to the flint river in april 2014. the city switched back to the detroit system last october. that knife reportedly found at o.j. simpson's former estate most likely is not connected to the 1994 killings of his ex-wife and her friend. law enforcement officials

telling the associated were he is that the knife is common among gardeners and is too small to make the wounds that killed nicolle brown simp ton and ronald goldman but that official says confirmation will take three weeks. >> mr. roker back to you. we have more coming up on this warm weather that's going to affect the eastern seaboard but first we will get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds. right now dry conditions, mostly cloudy, and healdsburg,

>> if you were indicted would you drop out? >> clinton admitted using a private e-mail account while secretary of state was a mistake. marco rubio is expressing regret over personal attacks he launched against donald trump. >> it's not something i'm entirely proud of. my kids were embarrassed by it. if i had to do it again i wouldn't. >> the republican candidates set to debate in miami tonight. let's take a look at this scene on a flight from baltimore to los angeles. these are passengers having a fist fight in the aisle. >> this is a crazy story. can you imagine being a passenger watching this play out? a group of women arguing throughout a five-hour flight. when the plane finally landed things got physical.

it was an all out brawl caught on camera. several women exchanging blows on a spirit airlines flight as a plane full of passengers looked on. >> the last thing you want to see happen on a plane. >> reporter: the fight broke out. >> the ladies were serious. to be honest i felt like alcohol was definitely involved in the fight. >> reporter: emerson sylva and friends captured the video on cellphone. >> a lot of people were, stop! nobody actually did anything. i saw the ladies swinging on each other, punching each other. the stewardess got punched. we stepped in and broke the fight. i sat the ladies down. >> reporter: the fight broke out between a group of younger and older women after an argument over loud music. police responded taking away

several women but authorities say no one was arrested or charged. so what caused the brawl? this morning we received an explanation saying prior to landing two customers who appeared to be intoxicated were playing loud music on a boom box speaker. several other customers asked them to turn down the music. the first two ladies refused. they were holding it up in the air. this prompted the second group of customers to approach the first group and a fight broke out. i feel like i just did play by play in a boxing match. a boom box on a plane. >> were no charges filed because it happened once the plane was on the ground? >> that's the stunning part, no one was arrested or charged. if there is a physical altercation -- we got to the bottom that it was apparently a

boom box. >> that is crazy. we'll move on now to a shooting in florida making headlines across the country. a mother is recovering this morning after being accidently shot by her 4-year-old son. here is kerry sanders. >> reporter: the shooting story is exploding on social media but there is not a lot of sympathy for the gunshot victim. >> she had been shot by a handgun. >> reporter: a 31-year-old mother accidently shot in her truck. >> do we have a suspect? >> it's going to be a 3 year old. >> reporter: it turns out a 4 year old. investigators say the child who pulled the trigger and shot the woman in the back is the victim's son. >> the questions that remain how was it stored in the vehicle and how did this young boy come to be in possession of it. >> reporter: jamie gilt for gun sense is a facebook page.

just hours before it happened jamie gilt posted even my 4 year old gets jacked up to target shoot with a .22. no 4 year old should be anywhere near any kind of firearms another calling gilt an abomination. you are now the best adverb for gun control. authorities say jamie gilt could face two possible charges, culpable negligence and failure to store a firearm safely. tragic consequences. >> i'm sure this child grows up will not be happy with his behavior and will regret this and will have to live with this. it is a shame this mother put this child in that position.

>> a lot of unusual stories today. >> that is a sad one. let's get a check of the weather with al. >> we have rain coming here. as you can see this is the rain going on in haughton, louisiana. that rain will make its way into the northeast. we do see heavier showers making their win into the northeast later today. we are also going to see very warm conditions. this blocking high keeping the moisture from moving in is going to help set up records today. as we move into the southeast and the midwest richmond, bristol and knoxville seeing record highs. that's what's going on around the country, here's what's a pretty mild start to the morning, san jose 60 degrees, you may wonder what all this

talk is about, and san francisco, you see the rain off to the north, 59, and into healdsburg, 54 degrees and moderate to heavy rain at times in sonoma county, but that's been just it. parts of marin county, and as we head through the afternoon, wee see the rain moving to the south into the peninsula with rain at times. mild temperatures across the south bay and more stanch ago rain, and -- and that's your latest weather. up next an exclusive interview with ronald and nancy reagan's daughter, patti davis. honest refle ctions on their ctions on their earning unlimited cash back on purchases. that's a win. but imagine earning it twice. you can with the citi double cash® card. it lets you earn cash back twice. once when you buy and again as you pay. it's cash back then cash back again. and that's a cash back win-win. the citi double cash card. the only card that lets you earn cash back twice on every purchase

with patti davis. >> good morning. patti told me she was moved by all the people who came out to honor her mother, nancy reagan. she said the support brings her great comfort. davis' relationship with both of her parents and in particularly with her mom was at times complicated. she says in recent years thankfully they were able to find great peace between them. >> i think she would be very honored and very happy that people paused in their lives to pay their respects to her and to honor her. it's really comforting to see all of these people who i'm sure not all republicans standing out on freeway overpasses. >> you came in walking by yourself.

where is your brother? >> he didn't come down today. i don't know why. it's sort of not my question to answer. he will be here friday and doing the eulogy. >> did you feel alone there walking with her? >> a little bit. a little bit. you know what? i feel very complete in my relationship with her. i feel very clear and clean in where our relationship came to particularly the last few years of her life. >> how did you get there? >> at some point and it really was the beginning of my father's illness i made a choice. i chose to aim for peace of mind and peace in and of itself with my mother. and all of our sort of strained history together, there is no

peace of mind in that at all. and i really made a decision to look at her and look at us through a different lens, through a more living, forgiving lens that doesn't mean that it was a smooth journey. it was not. there was still a lot of peaks and valleys in there and a lot of really deep valleys. >> anything left unsaid or did you get everything out? did she get everything out? >> i think so but not in a way that i think you are asking. i think my mother was not someone who would have been comfortable with an analytical conversation about let's talk about -- let's work through this. it's different generation. and i think that needs to be respected. i think the better route is to just behave differently. >> it's hard to learn how to behave in a public family on a

public stage. >> i get now why i behaved the way i did and why i acted out in the way i did and wrote things i wish i could remove from the face of the earth but i can't. i did have an incredibly public family. the feeling is one of being sort of invisible and excluded and marginalized in all of that. it was my attempt to go see and hear me. i did it completely the wrong way. >> there has been so much written about their relationship and this incredible love story and that everybody else really was outside the two of them. did you feel like that as children? >> it was as if a band of gypsies came and took me and ron away they would miss us but they would be fine. they would go on. it didn't mean they didn't love

us. it meant their lives wouldn't be destroyed if we weren't there. they were complete unto each other. and that can be a complicated thing for children. where i came to in my life and with her is to be really happy for her that she had this great love in her life. >> much is being said that your mother couldn't wait to be reunited with your father. >> she told me once that she was not afraid to die. she said i don't want it to hurt. i'm not afraid to die. i'll see ronnie again. they were my parents. so, yes, america has lost a former first lady. i lost my mother. and i am happy for her that she is with my father now. >> patti davis says all arrangements you will see at

tomorrow's funeral service were planned by her mother. as for her own eulogy she said it will include funny stories and loving memory. >> i wish you could have seen us watching that interview especially when she talked bet that feeling that if the gypsies had come to take her and ron that her mom and dad would have missed them but been okay. that is a very revealing comment. >> she has done a lot of work, very insightful, very honest and brave i think about how she has come full circle. she is really at peace. i don't think it has been easy. but she is in a place of clarity and comfort and she feels she was a good daughter at the end and she was there bringing her mother home to the library yesterday. i asked her do you like it here at the library, what does it mean to you? she said this is their life. for me i have pictures at home

that represent my life with my parents. i think that is always a fine line when you grow up in a public family to find your own space and your own privacy and your own relationship. >> excellent interview. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> just ahead, the debate that has been sparked by last night's democratic debate. what color was bernie sanders suit? suit? thi was not aware of how muchr acidity was in my diet. i was so focused on making good food choices, i had no idea that it was damaging the enamel of my teeth. i wanted to fix it, i wanted to fix it right away. my dentist recommended pronamel. he said that pronamel can make my teeth stronger, that it was important, that that is something i could do each day to help protect the enamel of my teeth. pronamel is definitely helping me to lead the life that i want to live.
