hi, everyone, i'm kate snow. >> i'm zinhle essamuah. nbc news daily starts right now. today thursday may 4th, 2023, deadly rampage. the atlanta shooter who killed

one and wounded four others is finally in custody after an hours' long manhunt. how police were finally able to track him down. surge protection, the secretary of homeland security heads to the border. what officials told him they needed. under review, new york and california announcing an investigation into the nfl over accusations of gender pay disparities, hostile work environments and racism. how the league is responding. and spotting the signs. how artificial intelligence is being used to spot signs of depression and anxiety in teenagers that even doctors don't see. we begin today with disturbing video from inside a new york city subway. it's raising serious questions about what is vigilante justice and what is a crime? >> we will show you this video and it is upsetting. you can see a man named jordan neely being held in a chokehold by another rider. he later died. this all happened after a fight

on the train between the men. the new york medical examiner has now ruled neely's death a homicide. >> nbc news correspondent rehema ellis is following this story for us right outside the subway. can you walk us through what happened there? >> reporter: yeah, it's so much of what you guys have said and that is according to the police report as you said, on monday, there was an altercation on this subway train. they say that 30-year-old jordan neely got into a dispute, it was an argument he got into with a 24-year-old man. that then escalated into a physical altercation. the 24-year-old man along with two other men attempted to subdue him but the 24-year-old man engaged in a whoek hold of jordan neely. police say during that chokehold, neely lost consciousness, he was later pronounced dead. the 24-year-old was taken into custody by police and he was questioned. and he was let go. that has led to some people

being outraged honestly about how could it possibly be that now that the medical examiner has determined that this was a homicide, could the 24-year-old who was determined as responsible for that chokehold be now out and not being held in custody. so that is what the police are investigating now. exactly what happened during this altercation that occurred here at the subway behind me just a days ago. >> they talked to the man who had him in the chokehold and released him after questioning him. could there still potentially -- >> reporter: i lost audio. >> can you not hear me? i think she might have lost us. >> thank you so much, appreciate it. well, there is heartbreak in georgia today following a deadly shooting in atlanta. >> it all unfolded inside the waiting room of a medical center yesterday. one person dead, four other victims are still hospitalized at this hour. all of the victims were women. >> the suspect identified as

24-year-old deion patterson is now under arrest. police finally caught up to him after an hours' long manhunt that locked down most of midtown manhattan. he was at the medical center for an appointment with his mother when he opened fire in a room full of people. let's go to nbc news correspondent guad venegas. what's the latest on the condition of the victims and the hospital and what have we learned about the one woman who died. >> reporter: it's still shocking to see the images shared by authorities of the suspect yesterday. the woman who died has been identiied as amy st. pierre and worked at the cdc and the cdc says it is deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of their colleague adding their hearts are with her family, friends and colleagues, of the other four victims a hospital official at grady spoke to the media earlier today indicating that three of

those victims are still in the intensive care unit. two of them are in critical care and are expected to go back into the operating room and one of the victims that was wounded is now in stable condition. that official also said that he had spoken to two of the victims, he didn't detail which are the two he spoke to, but he did say that they are traumatized and also grateful to be receiving the care that they received at this hospital. this medical center is just minutes away from the other medical facility where the shooting happened and the officials said when all of this took place they got the phone call and were prepared with multiple members of the staff to receive those that were wounded and received those four victims but he did say they were prepared to receive more victims if necessary. so we understand that they received treatment very fast after that happened, just minutes away from this medical center, kate. >> i mean, guad, we know the investigation into this attack is only just beginning, what

have authorities learned about the suspect and how did police catch him last night? >> reporter: zinhle, so they've made sure that everyone knows how important the cameras were in this investigation, cameras that -- around the city. this happened in midtown atlanta where the shooting took place and at some point the suspect used a vehicle to get out of the area and then entered cobb county, north of atlanta and through cameras and some tips they were able to track him down and looked for hours and finally they were able to apprehend him using this technology. now, since we've learned that he was in the coast guard, the coast guard said he was discharged in january, of this year, they also add that they are working closely with local authorities to move forward with this investigation. those are the details that we have. now we still don't have information from local authorities regarding a possible motive. all we know as you mentioned he attended that medical facility with his mother, he had an appointment and something

happened after they arrived that then, of course, resulted with the shooting that left these four people wounded and that woman dead. >> all right, more information to come, guad venegas in atlanta, thank you so much. the u.s. is on the verge of a major shift in immigration policy with widespread implications that centers around title 42. that's the covid era border restriction which had turned people away -- more than 2.5 -- sorry, let he say that again, more than 2.5 million times people were turned away under health concerns under that former health policy and expires one week from today h it ends federal officials anticipate a massive influx of people trying to cross the border. the concern so urgent the secretary of homeland security is in texas today to meet with law enforcement there. all the while, a humanitarian crisis building up in border cities where people are sleeping out on the streets. nbc news national correspondent gabe gutierrez is in juarez, mexico, for us. you've been speaking with

migrants on both sides of the border, frankly. what are they telling you about their journey, where they're going now? >> reporter: hi there, kate. yes, we were in el paso, texas, yesterday, under a state of emergency and this is juarez, mexico, just across the border and as you can see just look at all these tents that have been set up at this camp and extends quite a bit away here around this area. this is city hall, but we're again steps away from the border crossing and hundreds if not thousands of migrants here in juarez actually by some estimates even tens of thousands of migrants are waiting to enter the u.s. building up over the last several weeks and there's an incredible amount of frustration here, kate. there is a feeling that both the mexican and u.s. government really hasn't focused in on the humanitarian need here. this is just across the street from that migrant center that caught fire in march killing 40 people, a haunting reminder of the overwhelming humanitarian

need here and i spoke with one of the migrants here in this camp a little earlier today. he had this message for president biden. take a listen. ♪♪ >> translator: we're in a vulnerable situation, a humanitarian crisis. president biden, put your hand on your heart, the people you'll find here, the immigrant population, we're living in anarchy, we're waiting here because of your government. mr. biden, please give us an opportunity. >> reporter: and, again, this is juarez, mexico, where thousands of migrants are waiting to get into the u.s. potentially when title 42 lifts next week, kate. >> gabe, what does homeland security alejandro mayorkas, what is he hoping to accomplish with this visit that he's making today to the texas side of the border? >> reporter: well, as you mentioned, kate, he is visiting the rio grande valley, actually a different part of the texas border. but he is meeting with local law enforcement there as you said, as well, talking with border

patrol agents looking at some of the new technology that they hope will try to get a handle on this expected influx. now, the biden administration is also touting a new agreement with mexico to continue to expel migrants from certain countries back over the border into mexico, again, though, there are so many factors at play here and the expectation is by many border officials that the already high numbers of migrants here along border cities will continue to increase starting next week, kate. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you for being there. a popular e-commerce platform is cutting jobs and the ai revolution might be coming to your e- huh. morgan brennan joins us with that and other money minute headlines. >> shopify is cutting about 20% of its workforce. the company made the announcement in a blog post, the second big round of layoffs xroiing online sales services to

we're following breaking news involving the nfl. the attorneys general if california and new york state are launching a joint investigation. they're looking into the league's workplace culture, everything from allegations of discrimination to accusations of hostile work environments, nbc news correspondent kathy park is following this one for us. kathy, what prompted this investigation and do we know what these agencies are hoping to accomplish? >> reporter: good afternoon to you. this investigation was essentially prompted by former employees who allege a toxic work environment. there are claims of harassment, discrimination, ageism, which is a pretty hefty list and the probe sees if any discrimination laws were broken. in the statement released by both the attorneys general in

new york and california, they referenced a 2022 "the new york times" article when more than 30 former employees within the nfl allege this toxic work culture, this boys club and there was actually some sort of retaliation in some cases when they reported these claims to the hr department within the nfl. >> kathy, we had it up on screen a moment ago. the nfl did put out a statement, right, they say they're cooperating. >> reporter: exactly, kate. they say they will be fully cooperating with the subpoena that was issued to the nfl. they said that, you know, based on what they have been accused of, they foster an environment where everyone is respected and they issued a statement which reads in part these allegations are entirely inconsistent with the nfl's values and practices, the nfl offices are places where employees of all genders, races and backgrounds thrive. we do not tolerate discrimination in any form and,

kate, we should note that this probe is looking at the corporate level, the corporate offices of the nfl and no teams or players were announced in this statement that was released earlier today by the attorneys general. >> not named specifically. okay, kathy park, thank you. now to one young boy's incredible story of survival and resilience. last fourth of july a gunman opened fire on a parade injuring 48 others and cooper roberts survived but was left bar lyzed but he's not letting that slow him down. nbc news now anchor tom llamas sat down with cooper and his mom. >> you still have shrapnel in your leg. >> a lot. >> do you feel it every day? >> i do. >> reporter: she has scars she's not afraid to show but it's the ones that you can't see that hurt the most. >> i think about the family that went to the parade that day and that family is gone. >> reporter: last july 4th the roberts family set out for their

hometown parade in highland park, just outside of chicago. but as families lined the treat that morning, a gunman using an ar-15 tile rifle started firing killing seven an injuring dozens including keely and also her son cooper, just 8 years old. >> it was very clear in my mind at that time that cooper was very likely not going to survive. >> reporter: a bullet hit cooper in the back, severing his spine, his mother says with the help of incredible doctors, cooper somehow pulled through. paralyzed but alive. >> everything changes from as a family with little kids from something as simple where juice boxes have to go in the refrigerateer. >> how do you get him up the stairs? >> right. how do you get him up the stairs? we don't have an accessible home that way right now. >> reporter: she says though her son's body changed, he did not. >> cooper is kind and loving and

empathetic and caring. >> reporter: that is exactly who we met on a sunny day near lake michigan. what did you guys think? >> i loved it. >> it was probably my favorite. >> i'm not going to say any spoilers. >> reporter: talking about the super mario brothers movie and right next to him his twin brother luke, the two rolling side by side. >> luke has started to ride his scooter all the time. >> reporter: it's something that keely says has inspired her. >> i watch how desperately he loves his brother. luke will always be a bit of a guard dog for cooper. >> reporter: and the inspiration doesn't stop there. the little boy who had been through so much swimming again on his own >> that's what it looks like to be 8 and fight for your life. that's what it looks like. >> reporter: the roberts family has received thousands of letters, packages, mementos from

people all over the country. keely told me she reads every single letter, a lot of them are from other parents who have suffered some type of trauma but says it has helped her and that it's been transformational to connect with all these mom and dads all across the country. back to you. >> wow. what a story. >> yeah, a story of resilience, children, so powerful. the hollywood stars now hitting the picket lines to support the thousands of writers still on strike. you're watching nbc news daily. >> we're also streaming free >> we're also streaming free everywhere you cantreaeam s moderatete to severere eca still l disrupts m my skin. moderatete to severere eca despite e treatmentt it disruptpts my skin n with it. it disrurupts my skikin with ra. but t now, i canan disrupt e ea it disrurupts my skikin with ra. wiwith rinvoq.q. rinvoq i is not a ststeroid, wiwith rinvoq.q. topicacal, or injejection. wiwith rinvoq.q. it's one p pill, once e a. wiwith rinvoq.q. mamany taking g rinvoq saw clclear or a almost-cleaear skin mamany taking g rinvoq saw clclear whwhile some s saw up to 100% clelear skin. mamany taking g rinvoq saw clclear anand, they fefelt dramatitc and fast i itch reliefef some as s early as 2 2 days. anand, they fefelt dramatitc and fast i itch reliefef

come to the bargaining table in good faith. the oakland education association bargaining team tells nbc bay area they waited days for a counter offer from the district. they have been at the bargaining table. they say the district has been absent and tight-lipped. the district proposed every teacher get a raise of at least 13% and as much as 22%. the union is calling for smaller class sizes, fair working hours, facilities upgrades and more counselors and nurses. >> our role is to educate students. we can't do that if we don't have conditions we need. we have not only low pay, for teachers, but we also have crumbling infrastructure. we can't offer the services that students need to be able to learn. >> reporter: schools are open today. we haven't seen any students show up at oakland high. the district is sending staff from the central office to schools to make sure the campuses are safe for students to be at. as i mentioned earlier, no teachers. therefore, no instruction. here in oakland, bob redell, nbc

bottom of the hour now, here are some of the stories making headlines on "nbc news daily." >> the former chairman and three other members of the far right group the proud boys were found guilty in the january 6th attack on the capitol. the jury is still guiding whether a fifth member is also guilty of seditious conspiracy deciding on some other charges

as well and will continue to deliberate. lawyers for the family of tyre nichols say he died of blunt force trauma, the official result of an autopsy. nichols' death has been ruled a homicide stemming from an incident on january 7th. memphis police officials say he was involved in a traffic stop in which he was injured. nichols fled, police then chased and assaulted him. five officers have been charged with second degree murder. each one has pleaded not guilty. churchill downs racetrack in kentucky is working with regulators to investigate just what led to the death of four horses this week. two of the horses were euthanized after being injured on the track and two others died suddenly of unidentified causes. churchill downs referred to the deaths as highly unusual and unacceptable. the kentucky derby takes place there on saturday. breaking news out of new york city today, a jury found that ed sheeran, the singer and songwriter, did not plagiarize marvin gaye in a high-stakes

copyright infringement trial. the estate alleged that "thinking out loud" copies part of the marvin gaye's song. >> i'm obviously very happy with the outcome of the case and it looks like i'm not having to retire from my day job after all but i'm unbelievably frustrated that baseless claims are allowed to go to court at all. we spent the last eight years talking about two songs with different lyric, melodies and four chords which are different and used by songwriter every day all over the world. >> nbc news legal analyst danny cevallos joins us now. what was at rishabh in the case and could this be appealed? >> reporter: all verdicts can be appealed but in terms of the legal issue, this was really limited to the sheet music, in other words, the actual notes that appear and the other aspects of the sheet music as the song is written and that term is used literally as

opposed to what you hear and sort of feel from the songs when you play them together and when played together, especially if in the same key the songs do sound remarkably similar but mechanically there are a lot of differences, the melody is remarkably different but for a lot of people maybe the melody and that's the part the singer sing, you know that, kate, the melody is maybe not as important as the chords, the rhythm, the tempo, the bass line, but looking at the sheet music there are significant differences. the most significant to me in this four-chord progression and hear sheeran talk about it that the second chord is not the same chord in both songs. >> i do sing, you're right and do know how to read sheet music as well but i'm not a lawyer so let me ask you, what legally could this mean for other singers and songwriters? does this set any kind of precedent it might be easier to sample chords from other artists without having to be sued? >> i don't think so. i mean, no one can stop a

plaintiff from taking a hugely successful song and saying, hey, invented that and filing suit. so -- the other part is that it really can't be press den -- precedentail because you would recognize them as different songs, maybe a rapper or folk singer or someone plays jazz, they don't have much to learn from this because it's not really their genre. >> makes sense. danny, thank you. appreciate it. in other news, tv viewers across america are wondering when their favorite shows may return as hollywood writers strike for a third day. right now late night shows are the most heavily impacted. shows like "the tonight show" and "saturday night live" are dark. "snl" possibly for the rest of the season. if the strike does continue, daytime talk shows and soap operas will be hit next. that could be followed by the fall tv season and even movie production. nbc news correspondent marissa

parra joins us from l.a. to talk about it. what's new today, day three? >> reporter: hey, yeah, i mean day three you're still seeing people on the picket lines here with a lot of signs, it was raining but did not stop them from showing up. a lot of cars honking in support. here's what's new, so we're seeing a lot of celebrities voicing support not wga writers, we saw general -- jay leno giving out donuts. drew barrymore says she will step back from the tv awards in solidarity with writers and shonda rhimes also saying she will be standing in solidarity with them on strike but the interesting thing, her new show dropping on netflix sudden so interesting timing here. >> no, truly, i mean clearly consequential, marisa, has there been any traction between the two sides that might bring this to an end? >> reporter: the short answer is no.

so the alliance representing the studios put out a very telling statement within the last hour or so really just kind of digging their heels in saying this is what we offered and these are our sticking points, didn't really say anything new and have been largely quiet but have spoken to members on the negotiating team said they expected this and knew they weren't really going to see nick any sooner than the next week if that so, zinhle, i think the theme is get ready because it doesn't sound like anyone is willing to budge any time soon. >> yeah, get ready and hearing those horns behind you, thank you so much. the civil trial against former president trump is winding down as attorneys for his accuser e. jean carroll are close to resting their case. trump's legal team says they will not call witnesses and that the former president will not appear but trump himself is now suggesting otherwise. carroll is accusing mr. trump of sexually assaulting her in a department store in the 1990s. he has strongly denied those allegations, nbc news correspondent ron allen joins me

now from outside the courthouse in new york city. ron, you've been following this for days, the trial happening behind you but former president trump getting attention this afternoon because he spoke to reporters, right, in ireland where he's at his golf course. >> reporter: exactly, that was much earlier this morning, many hours ago and just to be clear, his comments have not played any role in the court proceeding. his attorneys have not brought this up at all. there is no indication that he is going to come and temperature. nonetheless, here's what he had to say today. >> i'll be going back early because a woman made a claim that's totally false. it was fake. she's a fake. i'm going to go back and i'm going to confront this woman -- this woman is a disgrace and it shouldn't be allowed to happen in our country. >> reporter: unclear when exactly mr. trump is going to return. he says that he's coming back. you just heard that. tomorrow is a day off for court. we expect e jean carroll to wrap

up her case in the next couple of hours, the defense said they are not going to put on witnesses and the final arguments in the case should be happening or scheduled to happen monday. the jury could get the case on tuesday. so, again, despite what mr. trump is saying on the golf course things are progressing in the courthouse and it's likely again the jury will be deciding who is telling the truth, the former president or e. jean carroll sometime early next week. >> thank you. now to the wastewater crisis in rural alabama. the justice department announced its findings. the doj has been looking into whether the alabama department of public health and the health department are operating in a man their discriminates against black residents. nbc news correspondent yamiche alcindor is here to talk about this. first can you just remind us how we got to this point and what did we hear from the doj today? >> reporter: well, for generations, black residents in

the county that is rural and impoveverished sayays they y han foforced to live amid raw sewag and waste bececause thehey don' have workingng sewer systems. thee departmenent of healtlth w and launchedd a f first of its d environmental justice investigation and today officials announced that the preliminary findings of that investigation saying that they found that state and county officials, those health departments that they were failing to adequately remedy the conditions through inaction or neglect. kristen clark, the head of the civil rights decision at the department of justice laid out part of their findings. take a listen. >> the sad reality is that too many communities of color are struggling for clean water, clean air, and bear the consequences of pollution and underinvestment in wastewater infrastructure, transportation, and health care. >> reporter: so now there will be the first of its kind interim

resolution agreement and part of that agreement and i want to put it up for folks saying that the federal officials are going to enter into this agreement that would mean suspending all enforcement of sanitation laws and mean that people and that the local health department was have to determine who needs sewage systems and prioritize who gets those septic tanks and will approve -- improve access to sanitation systems within a year and the public health risks associated with live ago mid raw sewage through the cdc, so definitely a big step here, zinhle. >> yamiche, i know you traveled to the county and talked with these people impacted by raw sewage, human waste, what are they dealing with day-to-day? >> these are devastating conditions, zinhle. i was in someone's home, a trailer where i almost fell through the floor and where that woman who talked to me bell through the floor and broke her arm bececause therere was r raw sewage, t those rottingng the fs of her hohome. thatat's what p people arere li with, smells you just can't describe, take a listen to what

one resident told me about the conditions she's dealing with. >> it is not necessary for this to be going on in 2022. it just shouldn't be -- you know what i'm saying. this is the wealthiest country. our sewer system should be all right. >> reporter: zinhle, i should say residents here think they are being discriminated against and the doj and hhs says it does impact predominantly black people here. the time frame still within one year they're supposed to improve local and county health departments, they are supposed to improve access to sanitation systems but federal officials say they're going to give them time and suspend the investigation for now while they get in compliance with this agreement. if they do not comply with this 15-page signed agreement which we obtained exclusively and broke earlier today, if they don't comply they will re-open the investigation so there's a time frame for people to have improved lives, zinhle. >> we know you'll stay on it.

cancer. nbc news medical reporter erika edwards has more. >> reporter: the american cancer society says that the number of early onset cancer cases colon cancer cases has doubled since 1995. we're talking about people diagnosed with colorectal cancer before age 55 and now researchers at washington university school of medicine in st. louis has uncovered four symptoms that might pop up giving an early indication that someone could be at risk for early onset colon cancer. let's take a look. number one is abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, ongoing unexplained diarrhea that doesn't get resolved after a few weeks as well as iron deficiency anemia. you generally can't feel it but it is something that is looked at through routine blood tests during your annual checkup. knowing these signs are important because the number of early onset colon cancer cases has been rising in recent year,

especially among those under 45. in 2021, guidance -- the guidance to start colon cancer screening was lowered from age 50 from 45. we are seeing additional cases in younger people making recognition of these symptoms even more critical. >> erika edwards, thank you. in today's "mental health check" teens are facing a mental health crisis. there is no other way to say it. what if artificial intelligence could help? nbc news technology correspondent jake ward is here with me. jake, we should warn viewers we are going to talk about preventing suicide here. this is a potentially positive use of ai. >> reporter: that's right. we know that ai can pick patterns out of data that human lists really cannot see, well, it turns out that artificial intelligence may be able to get out in front of the signs of some very distressing mental health crises in young people.

>> reporter: 20-year-old joe whelan was smart, kind and funny. >> come on, boys. keep up. >> reporter: but his parents say he struggled. first with an eating disorder that started when he was just 12. >> we had no context of where that might be coming from. >> reporter: a search for answers finally revealed that joe had been sexually abused by a trusted family member and battled complex ptsd for years which led to impatient care and partial hospitalization. and then covid hit. resulting in a lack of beds at his treatment center. >> that was as long as he could hang on. >> reporter: joe died by suicide in september 2020. a 2021 cdc survey found nearly one in four american high schoolers had seriously considered taking their own lives but with a national shortage of therapists experts at cincinnati children's hospital are now using ai to identify the risk of anxiety, depression and suicide early in kids. using signs even the most well

intentioned parent or expert might miss. >> our goal is to move upstream and reduce the flow of behavioral and mental health illnesses. >> reporter: these two doctors built the model and trained ai to spot patterns not just using structured data, height, weight, the stuff you record during a doctor's visit but unstructured data like the language used in conversation and even in the messages left behind by people who attempted suicide. >> do you have a library of suicide notes? >> yes. >> reporter: they found it was able to pull signs from even the most subtle patterns in language like how often someone uses nouns roar than pronounces. >> those that aren't suicidal will use "i" more often than those who are suicidal. >> if in the language of the suicide note they refer to things other than themselves more often they're more likely to commit suicide. >> reporter: they showed us other examples. a patient diagnosed with anxiety during an april 2020 visit.

additional data like language and speech revealed that that patient already had a high risk for anxiety eight months before, something a doctor might otherwise miss. cincinnati children's wants to make the ai tool available for pediatricians, teachers, parent, anyone who can make appropriate use of missed signals. is this going to make the shortage of human therapists worse? >> it does not make diagnoses but helps focus people on who is the one who needs the help right now. >> reporter: the whelans built this bench to remember joe. they say they would have turned to anyone or anything including ai for help. >> i don't think there's an ai solution that's going to solve this problem. i think you're going to need people to people but we are incredibly short on those people right now. >> yeah, that's for sure. jake, it's fascinating. is this just a tool for therapists right now, or could it actually ever replace human mental health professionals? >> reporter: the creator of this

program, kate, basically say this is just a tool. it's a way to focus attention on people that we might otherwise miss and important to point out here that the department of health and human services says 2025, we're likely to be down about 10,000 therapists, that's how many we need. that's how big the gap is. making them more effective is the short-term goal and that's where ai is helping us. >> they need it so much. as someone who lost someone to suicide, thank you, jake, for reporting on that. if you know someone who might be considering suicide please call considering suicide please call oror tex t ♪♪♪ rememember the t things you loloved doing.g... befofore your asasthma gogot in the w way? geget back to o the thingss yoyou love.... withth fasenra.. fasesenra is an n add-on trereat withth fasenra.. for eosisinophilic a asthma. withth fasenra.. hahaving too m many eosinonop, a typepe of white e blood cel, cacan cause ininflammationn anand asthma s symptoms. hahaving too m many eosinonop, a typepe of white e blood cel, fasesenra is desesigned to t tt and reremove eosininophils hahaving too m many eosinonop, a typepe of white e blood cel, and d helps prevevent asasthma attacacks. fafasenra is 1 1 dose every y 8 weeks. and d helps prevevent asasthma attacacks. fafasenra can n help patieies to breatathe better.r.

nbc bay area responds to an unhappy south bay senior about charges from the happiest place on earth. here is chris chmura. >> an 89-year-old tells us he signed up for disney plus month to month a while ago. this past july, he sent disney an email asking to cancel. he says disney replied with an offer of a free month. he refused and reiterated he wanted to cancel. guess what happened next. he says disney kept billing him each month. he says he tried to stop it but disney kept charging. in february, six months after first trying to cancel, he asked

what we could do. at this point, he racked up $109 in charges for a service he didn't use or want anymore. our team contacted disney plus. it reached out to him the same day. he wrote and said, just got a call from disney plus. they are refunding all charges from july through january. wow. you get very fast results. i am so thankful for all of your efforts and expertise. thank you for writing in. we asked disney what happened but did not receive a response. subscriptions are supposed to be easy to cancel in california. state law is on your side. stay tuned. we are working on a story about that and how to exercise your right to cancel. look for that in the next few weeks right here. if you are stuck with a subscription, we would like to hear from you and hopefully help you out. scan the code on your screen to fill out our consumer complaint form online. that does it for "the fast
