for a motive, focusing on the suspect's apparent neo-nazi sympathies priscilla thompson starts us off this morning >> reporter: gunshots shattering the peace of a saturday afternoon shopping trip. >> we need an ambulance. yeah, we need to get these people to the ambulance. >> reporter: eight people were killed and seven more injured, including children, police say, after a gunman opened fire at this sprawling outlet mall in allen, texas, just north of dallas the victims' identities not yet revealed. >> one more white or hispanic male subject wearing a black tactical garb armed with an ar white lettering that says police or security. >> reporter: dash cam video shows the moment the alleged shooter got out of his car and began firing the suspect was killed by an officer who police say was already on scene for an unrelated call.

>> he heard gunshots, went to the gunshots, engaged the suspect and neutralized the suspect. >> reporter: law enforcement officials say the shooter was 33-year-old mauricio garcia who had interacted with neo-nazi and white supremacist content online officials searching the home of the alleged shooter as neighbors watched in disbelief >> it's kind of quiet, kind of, you know, just walking up and down the block, stayed to himself. just always alone. >> he went to high school with some of the neighbors and they just said he was just always very quiet. >> reporter: this scene one that is all too familiar, americans in fear, forced to run, hide and pray >> we ran to the back, barricaded it with some concrete bricks and then right then on the security camera thank god we went in the back we saw him walk right by, masked up, fake police outfit on. >> reporter: survivors returned to the scene to collect their

vehicles, many still in shock. >> we heard all these shots started and she had just been out there and if she hadn't have come in the store -- >> i was on the edge. >> reporter: as another grief-stricken community gathers to mourn and to heal >> our thanks to priscilla for that report. a controversial trump era immigration policy is set to end this week likely making the ongoing border crisis worst. title 42 allows border patrol agents to quickly deport migrants and how many allowed over the border. it is set to coincide with the end of the covid-19 national emergency which is what allowed for title 42 in the first place. we go to brie jackson in washington what is the plan once title 42 is gone? >> reporter: good morning. there is a new policy title 8, it's set to go into effect once title 42 ends on thursday. this would deny asylum to most

migrants if they pass through another country on their way to the u.s. once title 42 is gone, border officials are expecting to see a surge in illegal crossings aid workers at the border right now are also worried about the influx many shelters are already at capacity >> some of them have been here for two days, some of them have been here for 24 hours or more and so we're just concerned that, you know, there is a risk to livelihood if they stay here for much longer period of time >> reporter: and u.s. officials are hoping that title 8 let's them quickly process incoming migrants and deport them if they do fail that initial asylum screening. >> and, brie, talk about how border towns are preparing for this on thursday. >> reporter: yeah, several texas cities including el paso, laredo and brownsville, texas, have already declared states of emergency. the federal government is

already sending -- is also sending support to the area. nearly 500 immigration officials have been assigned to help process the expected migrants and the pentagon is also sending 1,500 troops to support the border patrol agents so federal, state and local officials they are all bracing for what's to come. >> that's given the fact there is also a desperate situation there right now. brie, thank you. protesters across new york city are calling for criminal charges for the former marine who choked homeless man jordan neely to death on the subway this as lawyers for that marine give his side of the story nbc's emilie ikeda has the latest. >> reporter: outrage over the choke hold death of jordan neely intensifying this weekend, calling for criminal charges in the case and better city support for mental health, protesters clashed with the nypd and spilled on to subway tracks. a train seen stopped just down

the line. >> until we see justice and accountability we will be out here, we will be online. >> he was murdered because he was poor, he was murdered by the system. >> reporter: the mta called the track takeover which led to more than a dozen arrests saturday dangerous and reckless, playing out nearly a week since this minutes long deadly struggle on the subway, the rider holding neely in a choke hold that authorities say killed him was questioned by police but not charged. lawyers identifying him as daniel penny they say he with the help of others acted to protect themselves adding he never intended to harm mr. neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death several 911 calleders reported neely had been making threats according to a source. the 30-year-old michael jackson impersonator was homeless and struggled with mental illness since his mother's brutal murder in 2007 according to his family's attorney. police say he had 42 prior arrests. >> even to say who he was as a

person and what his history is it had nothing to do with this incident so what we're asking is why did daniel penny get the benefit of the doubt? we know for a fact that he killed jordan neely. if there's a defense to it, charge him and let him bring that defense >> our thanks to emily for that report. let's turn north of the border where over 100 wildfires are burning in western canada. officials say the fires torched more than 300,000 acres of land and forced 24,000 residents out of their homes the province of alberta declared a state of emergency on saturday and the emergency response team has been in contact with prime minister justin trudeau's office in the ukrainian capital of kyiv officials say five people were injured sunday after a series of attacks including from the wreckage of a fallen drone this comes as russia is upping strikes against ukraine while

is trying to clear up confusion for potential home buyers after misleading information for mortgage rates went viral on social media the fhsa changed the pricing model in january and under the new rules some buyers with higher credit scores would see up front fees increase while buyers are lower credit scores would see up front fees slashed by nearly half the devil is in the details as "the new york times" put it. under the new rules on a $300,000 house a borrower with a 740 credit score and a down payment of 20% would see up front fees go up to .875% of the loan from .5% last year. now, follow me here, for a borrower with a credit score of 630 and a down payment of just under 5% the fee drops to 1.75% from the 3.5%. so that may sound bad but if you actually look at the numbers the buyer with the higher credit score would still be paying a lot less in up front fees. here is the example.
