hi, everyone. i'm kate snow. the. >> i'm aaron gilchrist. "nbc news daily" starts right now. it's tuesday, february 14th, 2023. breaking news, moments of terror. three students are dead after a gunman goes on a shooting rampage at a michigan college. what we're learning about the victims as police search for a motive. what's costing you more and what it means for america's

economy. the pentagon said it recovered sensors from the downed chinese spy balloons. details emerge about the other objects the u.s. has shot down. and a minnesota congresswoman speaking out for the first time since being attacked inside her apartment building. why she's fighting back. we begin with breaking news, three students are dead and five others hurt after a shooting at michigan state university in east lansing. gun fire was reported just after 8:00 last night. and soon after that, police responded to another shooting a block away. >> this was the alert the police sent out. run, hide, and fight. three hours later, the gunman was found dead of a self-inflicted gun shot wound.

police say the 43-year-old man was not affiliated with the university. here's how one student identified the terrifying moments. >> everyone shouted you need to get down on the ground and i thought i was going to die. >> jesse kirsch is in east lansing for us. what more have you learned about the victims here? >> reporter: aaron, we learned from authorities here, two of the three victims' names, junior alex san degree ya verner and sophomore brian fraser, they're not releasing the third victims name saying out of respect for the family they're keeping that information private. verner was said to be a terrific student, athlete and leader. >> we know more now about the gunman. any clarity on a possible

motive? >> reporter: no. at this point we don't have an answer of the question why and officials made clear he was not affiliated in any way with the university. >> and the university, obviously, is devastated by what happened there. what are students telling you today? >> reporter: we have heard, obviously, people are emotional here. we talked with some students including one student whose parent came to take her home for a while. here's what students told us about their experience here the last 24 hours. >> my room has a window facing the union so we got to a different room. i was in there with five other guys and we got in there, pushed the bed gns against the door, and waited throughout the night. i've been told how to deal with this for years now, understanding what to do in emergency situations is

something i've always tried to understand. >> reporter: this is a reality for this generation. obviously that we talk about often. we also spoke with a family and one mother told me as she was standing with her daughter, that there are three families, three sets of parents who cannot do that for their children because those young people are now dead. >> there are no words. jesse kirsch, thank you. we turn to the economy and a new inflation report that's giving us a clearer picture of the prices you're paying. the labor department said prices climbed 6.4% in january, compared to the same time in 2022. the rate of increase over the past year has steadily slowed since the summer. but inflation did rise from december, let's bring in brian cheung to help us understand what's going on. what does the report say about what's costing the most and the

state of the economy? >> it tells us things are still really expensive in the country, 6.4%, that's how much more expensive things are in january 2023 compared to the same time last year. most of the increase was driven by rent how much it costs to put a roof over your head. but what's interesting about the report, it shows improvement on the inflation side because remember the pace was close to 9.1% in the summer last year. but one thing, prices at the grocery store, food away from home, double digit percentage points more expensive than this time last year. i had a chance to speak with a grocer about how they are trying to combat price increases. you're hearing about walmart and whole foods. so are all the retailers on the same page here? >> i think across the board you see the retailers pushing back on cost increases. for us it's more justification of the cost increases that we're

seeing. >> pushing back on cost increases as americans trade down from the more expensive well known name brands to the cheaper grocery store name brands. >> brian, thanks. the u.s. military now says it has retrieved key electronic censors from the chinese spy balloon downed off of south carolina more than a week ago. the recovery is still under way although bad weather is slowing the search. and we're learning other details about three other items shot down over the week. tom costello joins me now. what are we learning about the downed objects? >> reporter: the pentagon and white house have been hinting for a couple days that maybe these were not products that

came from china or russia, there may be some benign explanation, a weather balloon or weather mechanism, a science experiment from a company or university. and increasingly today now the dod, the white house is saying, that may be what was shot out of the sky. but the problem is they don't have the remains of the objects. one, of course, shot down over alaska. the other over the yukon in canada and then lake huron in canadian waters. they don't have the objects so they're still trying to recover them. but it may not be possible. two in the water in ice-cold freezing conditions and another one in the desolate area of the canadian yukon. so the information they're giving us that these may not be something that's nefarious that is coming from the information they gathered from the pilots who did a fly by as well as photographic evidence.

>> lawmakers from both parties criticized the white house for lack of details, the senate received a classiied briefing today. are lawmakers satisfied? >> the short answer is no. the lawmakers are saying you need to tell us what's happening over our airspace as well as the represent representatives from montana and south dakota. both sides saying the information is not good enough. >> our adversaries know what we know, we know they know. the american people are the ones who don't know and they deserve to know more. >> they can say what they know. what they don't know and don't reveal sources and methods. that's what the american people want. >> bottom line here is that that chinese -- the alleged chinese spy balloon, we're pretty confident did have electronic

machinery that the pentagon, the fbi have now recovered and are analyzing, pretty good data they're starting to pull off that according to sources but the othr be found. >> such a mystery. thank you. more than 39,000 people in turkey and syria have died now from the devastating earthquakes there and even as rescues are being suspended we are seeing from miraculous cases of survival. that includes the 17-year-old boy you see here on the sfrecher. crews pulled him from the rubble earlier today. turkish state media saying his 21-year-old brother was also found alive. matt bradley is in southern turkey for us again today. it's been a little over a week now since that first earthquake struck in that region. what are emergency crews focused on t at this point? >> reporter: now they're focused on people who are living, people who survived. not necessarily -- excuse me,

people who are trapped under the rubble in so many buildings, thousands of buildings here throughout southern turkey because it is moving from focussing on rescuing people from under these buildings to people who are living outside in tents. people exposed to the elements, to extreme cold who might be lacking food and water whose homes have been destroyed. who have lost all of their family and possessions. this is the next focus and it's one that's going to require, in certain ways, much more effort. because we're talking about mass starvation, talking about the risk of infection and talking about problems with education and moving forward with people who have been traumatized by the events they've seen, twin earthquakes that amount to the worst, most lethal in the more than 100 years. so that is the focus going forward. as you mentioned, there are still miracles to be found in the rubble, in places like this.

if you look behind me this is more of a demolition zone. we were here a couple of days ago, there were still people looking for live victims underneath rubble like this. now they're sweeping it up. and, in fact, this has become a crime scene. that's another focus. trying to prosecute people who built shoddy buildings that collapsed. whereas those ones on the other side managed to stay intact. so this is an issue, prosecuting people who seem to have caused so much damage. >> matt bradley for us, thank you. an international airline is making a record breaking purchase and the ratings are in for super bowl lvii. >> kristina partsinevelos joins us now with our cnbc money minute. >> so let's start with air india. the airline has agreed to purchase 470 boeing planes air

bus jets in a major deal. the order is the largest deal for commercial aircraft in aviation history and underlines surging demand for air travel in india. three walmart tech hubs will close forcing hundreds of workers to relocate to keep their jobs. the company will also require that employees come into the office at least twice a week up from one day a week. and the numbers are in. super bowl lvii brought in a whopping 113 million viewers across all platforms on sunday, the third most watched television broadcast in history. the only telecast to score a larger audience were two other super bowls, the 2015 patriots, see hawks and the 2017 patriots, falcons. >> i was wondering if it was something other than the super bowl. >> i thought the same thing. coming up a somber milestone coming up a somber milestone for marjorie onemanst

bottom of the hour now here are some of the stories making headlines on "nbc news daily." a january 6th rioter has pleaded guilty, daniel rodriguez was accused of attacking police officer michael fanone with a taser. he then bragged about it. three of the charges he pleaded guilty to carry a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. josh hawley has filed legislation to create a legal age to allow people to be on

social media. it would create an age requirement of 16 years old for all social media. it comes as democratic senate michael bennett met with tiktok. bennett recently sent a letter to the ceos of apple and google urging the companies to remove tiktok from the app stores. two democratic state lawmakers are introducing a new legislation that would repeal a constitutional amendment that bans same-sex marriage, proposition 8 is no longer enforced. but advocates fear that the supreme court may revisit that decision. we continue to stay on top of that breaking news. the deadly shooting at michigan state university. >> we have just learned the name of the third student who died there. let's two back to jesse kirsch in east lansing mitch for us. what have we learned? >> reporter: so just minutes ago, aaron, we learned the third

name of the third victim who passed away. we are told by michigan state university police that aerial anderson, a junior, the third student killed in the shooting rampage yesterday. that makes her the third victim whose identity has been released. the other two students, alexandria verner and brian fraser, all three students we're told are from the state of michigan. >> we're also hearing from a student who survived this mass shooting in addition to another student. we've talked to several. what do we know? >> reporter: that's right. if you can imagine, this is one of the stories we're hearing of people who have come across not one but two of these types of massacres in their lifetime and just underscores something we're hearing, this generation goes through this has gone through this kind of training heard

about this their entire childhood. one person said she survived not just this shooting but the shooting at sandy hook. >> i am 21 years old and this is the second mass shooting i have lived through, ten years and two months ago i survived the sandy hook shooting. the fact this is the second mass shooting i have lived through is incomprehensible. >> reporter: not from an interview but her tiktok post. this underscores what we've heard from students, this is their generational reality and it has yet again unfolded at an american school. >> jesse kirsch for us today in michigan. you can see more of the wrung lady we saw there a moment ago on nbc "nightly news" with lester hold. we're watching the alex

murdaugh double murder trial. the jury heard grizzly testimony from a pathologist who performed autopsies on paul and maggie murdaugh. alex murdaugh broke down in tears while hearing details of how his wife and son may have died. lindsey riser is following the trial for us. the pathologist spent time on the stand today, let's start with this. >> reporter: yes. how many times paul and maggie were shot, which ones were fatal and we heard from many other people on the stand today. for example we heard from the murdaugh's dog handler who testified he was meticulous with how he left things, there was a pool of water -- this is alex murdaugh getting emotional -- he said there was a pool of water near the dog kennels on if night of the murders that wouldn't have been left by him. insinuating that someone maybe

cleaned up the area that night. we heard from a forensic accountant who said the financial walls were closing in on murdaugh. and right now we know that maggie's sister is on the stand. her only sibling, very close, talked every day, and she talked about an exchange after they were murdered. i want to play that for you. >> i did at one point ask him if maggie and suffered, and he assured me that she did not. now i don't know that i think that's true. and i asked if paul had suffered, he said, no. and then later i -- i asked him, i said, alex, do you have any idea who's done this? i said, we have got to find out who could do this. and he said that he did not know who it was. but he felt like whoever did it

had thought about it for a really long time. >> reporter: she's still on the stand now we'll be monitoring that. the outstanding question, when will we hear with cousin eddie smith, he was involved in the insurance fraud scam and we're waiting to see if murdaugh himself will testify in his own testify. >> thank you. production for the movie "rust" is set to resume this spring with the film's star and producer, alec baldwin late last month he was charged with involuntary manslaughter. bianca cline will step in as the new cinematographer. now to angie craig who's opening up to being assaulted last thursday. the democrat serving her third term in congress has cuts and

bruising from the attack but was able to return to capitol hill that day. ryan nobles joins us now. what did we hear about representative craig's attack? >> she spoke to our affiliate in minneapolis about that experience and talked about how scary the incident was and how lucky she was to come away from it with only cuts and bruises. listen to her describe exactly what happened to her. >> when he demanded to go to my apartment, all i knew at that moment was there's no way in hell that's going to happen. he grabbed my neck, grabbed me from behind at one point, tried to pull me away again from the buttons from my collarbone this way. i had a cup of hot coffee in my hand because that's why i was in the lobby to begin with. and i reached over and poured the hot coffee on him as he was attempting to pull me back away from the buttons.

>> reporter: she said the incident happened so fast she almost didn't have time to be scared her instincts kicked in and she was thankful she had the hot cup of coffee with her to fend the attacker off. that man now in police custody having been arrested. and showing a degree of empathy for him saying he was homeless and in need of help. >> how does the congresswoman say she's moving forward from that experience that's traumatizing. >> she's talking about how she can use her position in congress to help an individual like this who find themselves in this situation, working on legislation to combat homelessness. she said it has strengthened her resolve to continue her work here in congress. as we point out she was hurt but she was actually back to work the next day casting votes in the halls of congress. so even though this was a harrowing experience, she seems

to have survived it and has moved on in a very powerful way. >> ryan nobles for us on capitol hill. thank you. the field of republican presidential candidates is growing. >> china and russia are on the march. they all think we can be bullied, kicked around. you should know this about me. i don't put up with bullies. >> that is former u.s. ambassador to the united nations and former south carolina governor, nikki haley, she announced her run today for president. saying it's time for a new generation of leadership. she's expected to kick off her campaign with an event in charleston, south carolina tomorrow. so far she is the only person to challenge former president donald trump for the 2024 republican nomination. i want to bring in capitol hill correspondent ali vitali. what does the challenge look like? does it pose a challenge to donald trump? >> reporter: look, it could. it's his first official

challenger as you mentioned, kate, and it's coming from within a member of his own former administration. nikki haley is someone on all sides of trump, didn't endorse him in 2016 but then came to serve in his administration and after january 6th condemned him and then seemingly forgave him for the role he may have played in that insurrection. she's also said she wouldn't run in the 2024 primary if trump himself were running. of course that's exactly where we are right now. haley making it official this morning in that video you soed a piece of. she's doing a special announcement tomorrow. what's interesting, she has to not alienate the trump parts of the base that love him in south carolina and other early states across the country as well. but watching her make this argument for generational change allows her to be in her traditional establishment conservative lane on policy while making an argument on one

thing that donald trump can't change, which is how old he is versus the newer, younger generation of leaders that nikki haley and others are part of. >> when she announces will other candidates enter the 2024 race, is that the point we're at now? >> reporter: kate, i was told that haley was one of the rlr people to jump in. but for others they're still trending later in the calendar. there's other people from south carolina, senator tim scott, who's thinking through a presidential run. going to all the states that raise our eyebrows, the iowas, new hampshires, and here in his home state of south carolina later this week, stoking the embers for a run, but at this point it looks like a two-person race with nikki haley getting in and see who jumps in as well. >> you'll track it all. thank you. senator dianne feinstein, the long-time democrat from

california has said she will not seek re-election in 2024 but will serve out the remainder of her term. at 89 she's the oldest member of the senate. she was previously the mayor of san francisco for ten years. several high profile california lawmakers have announced their intention to run ferher old seat. coming up what a new policy change may mean for black change may mean for black patients in need

oh ms flores. you're the leader of many and pet wrangler, too. so becoming a student again might seem impossible. national university is here to support all of you. national university. supporting the whole you.

there is a new push to help more black people receive kidney transplants the network that oversees organ transplants has asked them to identify black patients to see if they get an overtime adjustment. this comes after they were diagnosed late. yamiche alcindor is following this. and joins us. i know you traveled to mississippi to talk to a woman waiting for a transplant for five years now. what does this mean for her? >> it's centered on a test that overestimated kidney function it led to black people waiting longer for kidney transplants than other races. patients could get a new kidney

between one and two years sooner than before. i interviewed a black woman waiting for a kidney transplant for five years and ten months. take a listen. >> for me i believe my wait time will be austed to receive extra sort of credit or wait time for how long i've been waiting for my transplant. so i may receive a transplant sooner. i am preparing for the call any day. >> i want to add that she said this change feels bittersweet. she had a friend who died in 2020 waiting for a transplant. she thinks others could have died unfairly as well and this isn't a way to get full justice in many of the cases. >> what are you hearing from doctors about this shift now in the transplant policy? >> the experts i spoke to said they see this change as restorative justice in medicine. one doctor i interviewed said she hopes other medical fields

will use this change as an example for facing other inequities for equations that include race. >> yamiche, thank you. you can see more of her reporting tonight on nbc "nightly news" with lester holt. a curriculum clash is boiling in the state of florida. the national college board is pushing back at governor ron desantis as his administration blocked a course on african american studies. now he said he may ban ap courses in the state altogether. raheem ellis has been following this. what did the college board say? >> the college board said this is not what you think it is. florida is playing politics with education. according to an interview that the head of the college board did earlier. he said the idea of one subject,

for example, black lives matter included in an ap curriculum that the governor of florida objected to, he said it had been an optional topic before the governor of florida complain about it. again this is an issue of politics trying to sway voters on a notion of cultural issues. and ha the state of florida says is they objected to black lives matter saying it doesn't have to do with african american history. they say it is a part of current history or current events if you will and therefore misplaced. but some people saying it's expected that ron desantis will announce he's going to be running for president in 2024. this is an effort to sway part of his base on an issue of churl issues. >> as the mother of a senior in high school, i'm familiar with ap courses, advanced placement courses, so if the florida department of education, i guess, is threatening to maybe block all aps, is that what

they're staying? >> no, not exactly. >> okay. what are they saying? >> what they said today, governor desantis came out and said, who elected them, who elected the college board to be the ones that administer this platform of advanced placement courses. he suggested that florida might look to ib, as a way to provide students with advanced placement courses if you will that can be used to acquire college course credits before they get to college and can be used as part of what a college looks at when they're considering students for college. he's not saying he would get rid of all courses but in terms of the name it might happen. just this afternoon, the governor of new jersey, who is a democrat he came out and announced they're going to expand african american studies in new jersey he likes what the college board is doing, doesn't object to it at all. >> thank you so much.
