>> reporter: heartbreaking day ending with a solemn procession for the 51-year-old officer and father of seven, who lost his life while trying to save others. the fbi is assisting with the ongoing investigation. the president was briefed on the situation in the overnight hours. meanwhile, we are expecting an update from police in the next few hours. >> erin, thank you so much. we are now joined by three people who were inside that grocery store when the gunman stormed in. newlyweds, neven and quinlan sloan, married a month and a half, just grocery shopping, and logan smith, there working at the starbucks. good morning to all of you. logan, i'll start with you. you've had an overnight for this to settle in. how are you doing this morning? >> it's definitely been rough. i mean, waking up this morning, processing everything, it's

definitely been hard. it's harder than it was yesterday, just thinking about the friends that i lost. i'm still trying to reach one of my other friends who hasn't responded back, so i don't know their situation. but, yeah, just taking everything in is hard. >> i am so sorry for what y'all have been through. i was trying to picture, like, you go to work on a regular monday, working at starbucks. when did you know, logan, there was trouble? what's the first sign you saw? >> so about 2:28, a customer ran into the store alerting me that there was an active shooter in the parking lot. i wasn't the smartest and ran outside to see what was actually going on. then there was shooting. i ran back inside, immediately grabbed my phone and called 911. that was around 2:30. then shooting began inside, and

it was just immediate. >> so he was shooting outside before he went in? >> yes. >> and did you see him? how was he dressed? >> i -- i can't see well, so i couldn't provide great detail. >> so you went inside, and the shooting continued inside. you're a tall guy, i think. how tall are you, 6'3"? >> 6'5". >> so you were trying to hide. describe where you were and what was going on and what you were seeing. >> so after i called 911, like i said, the shooting began, i immediately reacted, dropping the phone. i ran to my coworker, put her into a corner with some trash cans to cover her, protect her, and then this is behind the starbucks kiosk. that's where we were. i was just trying to find somewhere to protect me.

i ended up deciding to hide behind another trash can. >> wow. >> couldn't really protect me. i was definitely in a life-threatening situation, if the shooter came to the kiosk. >> you certainly were. i know ten people died, two were your friends. were they workers there? were they just around? >> they were coworkers, yes. >> i'm so sorry about that, logan. i really am. i'd like to bring in the newlyweds. neven and quinlan. you just went grocery shopping. i was imagining that. you've been married a month and a half. you go in to make a meal. y'all are in different parts of the grocery store. quinlan, tell me the first thing you saw and heard. >> so, yeah, neven and i separated. neven loves to go to the grocery store and get out pretty quickly, so he went to get mushrooms, and i was over by the milk. the first thing i heard was the

first, like, bang. i don't know, but my first thought was to go to the shooter. i didn't react right away because it was muffled, the first two, because they were outside. then it got louder, and there was, like, a bunch of bangs in a row. that's when neven walked up to me, and that's when i was like, okay, this is serious. >> neven, you guided her outside. i think most people probably would have stayed outside, away from the danger. then you did something that i thought was surprising and beautiful. you ran back in. why did you do that? >> i didn't really run back in, but i don't know. i felt god compel me to go back. there was another guy sitting by the emergency exit, michael, and he was really sweet and really

brave. we just -- there were two older women that were trying to get out. yeah, i wanted to go back and help them, help michael get those two ladies out. >> pretty powerful in that moment. because there are survival instincts that kick in often in something like this, but there is something greater than that. quinlan, when you finally saw him come back, i mean, that must have been a reunion you were waiting for. >> yeah, definitely. i -- yeah, once getting behind a building, i started crying because i was, like, he's running, you know -- yeah, everyone in the crowd is running away, and my husband of a month and a half is running towards it. that's totally his, like, heart, and he just loves people in that way. but then to see him again, just holding onto the random

groceries, i was excited. >> if you were wondering whether you picked the right guy, you sure did, no question about that. let me just finish with you, logan. i mean, whenever these kinds of things happen, people say, well, i never imagined that would happen here. i never imagined that would happen in my town. i was thinking about columbine, aurora, and other shootings. i wondered, what did you think? did you picture this ever happening to you? >> it's always an event that you'd never want to happen. because of those events within colorado's history, it's been in the back of my head. i should add that this is not the first time -- i've been at the company for a year. it's not the first time that our coworkers, employees, that our life has been threatened. there's been two other events, not as severe, but because of

those other events, it's been in my head, that something like this could happen. >> well, guys, i just want to say thank you. we're so happy you're okay. logan, thank you. quinlan, neven, good work yesterday, okay? thanks, guys. >> thank you. >> we'll have a lot more on the heroic actions of the officer who died coming up in our next half hour. right now, though, let's turn to the coronavirus and what health officials see as a defining moment in the fight. more americans are being vaccinated. more states are expanding eligibility, but a new rise in cases and a record surge in travel are causing a great deal of concern. overnight, a possible setback for the fourth vaccine. nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer has the very latest on all of it. miguel, good morning. >> reporter: craig, good morning. it is a race between vaccines and variants. according to the cdc, one in four people received at least one dose of a vaccine, but variants are spreading across

the country and now there are new questions surrounding the astrazeneca vaccine. this morning, as the u.s. races to vaccinate the nation, concerns over the newest vaccine announcement from astrazeneca. the company released good news from its u.s. clinical trial results monday. 79% effectiveness against covid-19. but overnight, the nih saying it's concerned about the initial data. adding, astrazeneca may have included outdated information, which may have provided an incomplete view of the efficacy data. astrazeneca had previously faced scrutiny after more than a dozen countries temporarily suspended use of the shot over concerns about possible blood clotting, though most countries have now resumed administering that vaccine. the nih now urging the company to work with u.s. safety regulators. >> you can rest assured that the fda will put a great deal of scrutiny in every aspect of these data.

>> reporter: this as concern grows over rising covid numbers in some states, as contagious variants spread and as a record number of americans travel for spring break. some arriving in destinations like miami, where streets were filled overnight but calm. >> there's a curfew now in effect. you need to clear the street. [ sirens ] >> reporter: over the weekend, police using extreme methods, bringing in a s.w.a.t. team and spraying pepper balls to control the crowd. >> this is not, you know, sort of fun spring break. it is something a little bit more perilous. >> reporter: officials urging americans to be patient. >> i am worried that if we don't take the right actions now, we will have another avoidable surge. >> reporter: as states push forward with getting vaccines into arms, about 2.5 million shots are now being administered every day. experts say there could be some

form of immunity in more than half of the population. meantime, this morning, a new psa offering images of the past to give hope for the future, if americans get vaccinated. the u.s. has already agreed to buy 300 million doses of the astrazeneca vaccine if it is approved, which could come in early may, along with a supply of pfizer, moderna, and johnson & johnson vaccines we already have in the u.s. the u.s. has secured a large volume, which would be a surplus, but those shots would go to neighboring countries like canada and mexico. >> miguel, thank you. let's move to another major story this morning. we're talking about the border crisis. the pressure is growing on the biden administration to find a solution. we are also getting our first glimpse inside one of the facilities, where thousands of unaccompanied migrant children are being detained. nbc's gabe gutierrez is near the southern tip of the state in donna, texas.

good morning. >> reporter: the latest figure we have of migrants inside the facility is nearly 3,700, nearly 15 times what it was initial ly built for. now, reporters have not been granted access to the facility, so a texas congressman, a democrat, leaked pictures from inside. this morning, the fallout from the overcrowding at the southern border is growing. new individual yes video from inside the facility in donna, texas. images were provided with faces obscured. >> i think the public needs to know the conditions of those facilities. we can have all the good intentions, but i think the numbers are overwhelming. >> reporter: they would not say who took the pictures, only that they were taken this past weekend. the biden administration is not moving fast enough.

>> anybody involved would have predicted this some months ago. >> reporter: more than 800 migrant children have been held by the border patrol for more than ten days, far longer than the three-day legal limit. >> they are not places that we want children to be staying for an extended period of time. our alternative is to send children back on this treacherous journey. that is not in our view the right choice to make. >> reporter: the white house announced it was sending top officials to mexico and guatemala to discuss the causes of the surge. the vice president is blaming the former president. >> we were left with a challenging situation. >> reporter: that situation may be growing more dire. according to an internal s
