>> we are now learning about those victims and their lives. we know that they range in age from 16 to 52 years old, including 52-year-old nicole connors, who her husband of five years says that she was such a caretaker and was just always looking out for other people. also, 49-year-old sue karnatz, a mother of three. her husband says that she died while running and their family will miss her so greatly. and a 44-year-old woman, mary marshal. her fiance is speaking out saying that she was shot while walking their dog and how devastating this has been for him. it feels like his whole world has collapsed. and there's also officer gabriel torres, a 29-year-old officer who was on his way into work wherever he was shot, as this violence erupted. and the youngest victim, a 16-year-old james thompson, who we're now learning was an 11th

grader, a junior here at the local high school. and so these are the early details that we're getting about these victims in this community, as people continue to grapple with this incredible loss. kate, aaron? >> and priscilla, what have police said so far about the suspect in this case and how this attack happened? >> reporter: well, police are not saying much about the suspect. we know that he is a 15-year-old white male, but beyond that, we haven't gotten any information from police about a motive, no information about how he obtained the gun that was used in this crime. in fact, police have not even named the shooter, but we do know that he is currently in the hospital, just behind me, in critical condition from his injuries in all of this. and as far as what we know about how this all occurred, all of this happened within a two-mile radius. it began in a very residential area on the streets of a

neighborhood. and then as police arrived on scene, the shooter fled to a greenway and continued shooting people and it took hours for police to finally apprehend him. kate, aaron? >> priscilla thompson for us, thank you. president biden is preparing to highlight a new executive order designed to lower precipitation drug prices. he's going to speak at a rally tonight in california. this is all part of a three-state west coast trip, as he stumps for democrats ahead of the midterms. the timing lines up with the start of medicare open enrollment. that kicks off tomorrow. nbc news white house correspondent mike memoli is traveling with the president in california. mike, talk to us a little bit more about this captured. what's the president's plan here? >> well, aaron, what the president is really doing here with this captured, it's a symbolic effort to try to draw more attention to what was a much more substantiative accomplishment for the biden administration. of course, that inflation reduction act we were talking about just over the last few months. specifically, of course, in the i.r.a., there are new provisions

that would, "a," allow medicare to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies to rye to lower the cost of prescription drugs and a $2,000 out-of-pocket cap for seniors. these are hard-fought wins for the administration. the executive order is calling on hhs secretary xavier becerra to explore what other tools they might have through executive action to further lower costs. why is he doing it here? we're in irvine, the home district of congresswoman katie porter, she's seeking a third term here. it's a swing district. tough race for congresswoman porter. she lael fought hard for some of these provisions in the i.r.a. you're going to see the president really showering her with praise for getting this done. >> i can understand that about california, but we know the president will also be making stops california, colorado, oregon. all of these are largely blue states, mike. why do they need the president there campaigning. >> these are blue states, but in a tough midterm election year with all the headwinds that democrats are facing, they're

not safe bets for democrats. so michael bennet, who the president appeared with on thursday, facing a tough re-election bid for another term there, the president also heading to oregon tomorrow. they haven't elected a republican governor for generations, but the democratic candidate there, tina co-tech, she's facing a tough race. it's a three-way race with a strong independent candidate who's pulling support from the democrats. the president is doing everything he can, just over three and a half weeks to try to help these candidates. but you also know another reason that democrats especially come to california to raise money. the president headlining a $5 million fund-raiser for the democratic congressional campaign committee, appearing there with house speaker nancy pelosi urging donors to step up to do their part to keep democrats in control of the house. >> mike memoli in irvine, california, thanks. a new twist in the elon musk twitter saga. twitter has revealed the billionaire is under federal investigation over his bid to buy that company. twitter's lawyers says they asked for materials related to the probe back in july, a little

more than a week after the platform sued musk for flaking on the acquisition. it's unclear which federal authorities are investigating here. nbc news has reached out to musk for comment. we have not heard back. a judge says musk has 14 more days to finish the deal or risk going to trial. russian president vladimir putin says he has no regrets about his decision to invade ukraine. he made those comments at a summit of leaders from central asian. putin met with them in kazakhstan, even as reramps up attacks in ukraine and threatens to use nuclear weapons. keir simmons joins us now from kazakhstan. what came out of those meetings with the other leaders and vladimir putin? >> it's been a day of diplomacy or at least attempted diplomacy here in zakhstan. it's just after 1:00 in the morning here now. and president erdogan in turkey, who was here as well as president putin, honestly, i think it does look very difficult. president putin saying today that he doesn't see the need to

meet with president biden. president biden already suggesting that he would not meet with president putin and ukraine would have to be in those kboerkss. fundamentally, there's a disagreement over territory and it's very hard to see how that is overcome at this point. >> and you spoke with one of putin's key allies, the leader of belarus. what did he say to you about the use of nuclear weapons in ukraine, that threat? >> we spoke to president lukashenko of belarus and he was reassuring and threatening at the same time, suggesting that president putin may not need to use nuclear weapons, but only because he has so many other kinds of weapons at his hands. take a listen. >> do you think president putin would use a nuclear weapon? >> translator: if you put a person or a country into the corner, there is only one way out from there. to move forward. that's why you don't cross red lines, you cannot cross them.

within the last couple of days, russia made strikes on ukraine with high-precision weapons in response to the crimean bridge attack. you probably noticed it was powerful, but it's not everything. russia possesses the most modern weapons and you don't need nuclear weapons. russia will cope without nuclear weapons. >> it's important to remember, of course, that president lukashenko is a close ally of president putin, just this week, belarus voted against that u.n. resolution condemning russia's offensive in ukraine. but all of that being said, during this interview, he did also suggest that he would not commit his forces to help russia in that offensive in ukraine, saying that they are not interested >> thank you, keir. we are following some breaking news out of turkey.

there is growing drama inside a manhattan courtroom in the sexual misconduct trial of kevin spacey. >> a psychologist retained by anthony rapp's attorney says that rapp, the accuser, felt guilt about not coming forward sooner with his sexual abuse allegations against spacey. nbc news correspondent steven romo joins us now with more. steven, we heard dramatic testimony yesterday in court. bring us up to speed. >> this has been especially troubling, considering that rapp was just 14 years old when he said this incident happened with spacey, who was 26 at the time. spacey has denied that this ever happened. in court, rapp's attorneys brought that clinical and forensic psychologist in as an expert witness and she told jurors that rapp has experienced feelings of shame and guilt and

self-blame as an adolescent and in his adult years, she said rapp showed indicators of well as posttraumatic stress disorder. ra it was the most traumatic single event of my life. he also said, quote, lingering impacts continued. the expert psychologist testified that she diagnosed rapp with delayed on jet ptsd in 2017. that, of course, is the time these allegations first came to light. and by that time, she told jurors that it became harder and harder for rapp to avoid spacey's likeness in popular culture. you'll, of course, remember that spacey had become a popular actor in many movies and netflix's hit "house of cards," which was a huge hit at the time when rapp first brought these allegations. >> i know one of spacey's lawyers pushed back on this ptsd diagnosis. >> a lot of headlines on this one due to the intensity of that

pushback. spacey's lawyers have argued that rapp created the story to get attention and raise his professional profile. one of spacey's attorneys claiming that rapp may have been inspired by the coverage of harvey weinstein, who was facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct and assault. >> and i remember court was supposed to be out of session today. now there's some question about when they're going to come back next week. where does it stand? >> so much of this case has been delayed and problems caused by covid-19. covid caused timing problems way back and when this first started and now the day's proceedings got off to an unusual start, because the judge announced one of spacey's attorneys yesterday had tested positive for covid on thursday morning. the judge explaining that she had symptomatic -- she was symptomatic and was absent from court. also, the cross-examination of rapp by spacey's attorneys, that took a lot longer than expected due to the intensity of that questioning that so many people are continuing to talk about,

leaving the time in the future a bit unclear right now. >> we'll continue to follow it. steven, thank you. training among parents at a school district in washington, d.c. adults pleaing students online. now there are calls for action. drew wilder from our washington station has the story. >> reporter: outrage in spotsylvania as parents lash into the school board to take action against adults who are cyber bullying students. >> it's a hateful, awful, terrible language. >> reporter: in a community facebook page, a video which news 4 has blurred to protect posted showing students protesting governor glenn youngkin's ts, hiding behind keyboards, commentators lash their vitriol at the students. one commentator suggests that parents should get their belts out. many comments aren't suitable to show on air. >> i don't care what the protest

is about. i don't care if i agree with it or not. grown people should know better than to speak about children this way. it's disgusting. >> it's the same parents that get up here and talk about, there's bad words in our books, but we're going to go bash some little kid's name all over facebook?! >> in his policy, youngkin specifically states the department of education must create standards for, among other points, the prevention of and response to bullying and harassment. but the department of education doesn't watch over adults on social media. and one board member says their board shouldn't either. >> meanwhile, the people with real problems, real-life situations that are going on sometimes aren't even saying anything. >> i have a point of order. >> reporter: controversy and bickering board members have become frequent themes of these meetings and one board member suggests that set a bad example for the community. >> you can't expect anything

better from the community when we can't get our act together. >> reporter: the board voted unanimously to denounce the recent cyber bullying and plans a formal proclamation last month. a board elected to lead the instruction of children hoping it can also educate adult. reporting in spotsylvania county, drew wilder, news 4. >> i did a whole story about school board meetings becoming intense and very different than they used to be. they're politicized now. >> shouting matches and the worst possible example that could be set for kids in a school setting. >> it's very effort. let's talk about another kind of education story. at a time when nearly all colleges are raising costs, one massachusetts university is actually going the other way. >> lasselle university is slashing tuition and fees by $20,000 a year. brian burrnell from our affiliate station in boston explains what's behind the idea. >> reporter: lasselle university is cutting its price from $59,130 for tuition, room, and board to $3,500. by cutting financial aid, most

students' bills won't change, but some will. >> anybody that's paying over $39,500, they're going to pay less. any commuter that's paying more than $26,000 a year is going to pay less. >> that old price tag of nearly $60,000 kept some students from even applying. >> the idea is to attract more students to apply and find out and figure out that they can afford this. >> and it's working. applications for next year are up 200% at a time when college applications are falling across the nation. higher education consultant lucy lapovski says price is a key consideration for students and parents, but good academics and student life are also crucial. >> which lasselle has, they are just missing the boat on many students not looking at them because students are looking more at the public institutions that have much lower prices. >> in addition, the tight labor market has driven wages up, leaving many high school seniors to just get jobs after

graduating. >> most jobs that don't have a college education have a flat earnings trajectory. in ten years, you won't be making a lot more in many of those jobs than you're making now. >> as someone paying for college right now, i really like that idea, very much. praying for a miracle. what we ow about thekn [ coughing/sneezing ] [ door knocking ] dude, you coming? because the only thing dripping should be your style! plop plop fizz fizz, winter warriors
