zinhle essamuah is on assignment today. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, wednesday, september 4th, 2024. breaking news. tragedy in georgia. a massive police response to a shooting at a high school. at least four people killed and at least nine others hurt. nbc news has confirmed that the suspected shooter is a teenager. we have the latest details from that scene. boiling point, another night of protests across israel, a defiant prime minister netanyahu refusing to bow to pressure, his latest message to angry israeli citizens. beast mode, he's one of youtube's biggest stars but participants in some mr. beast's popular online videos are now leveling serious claims about the conditions they face. the dramatic allegations. and golden opportunity. team usa continues to rack up

more medals at the paralympics. track and field star ezra winning gold in two separate events. we do begin this hour with that breaking news out of georgia, at least four people are dead at a school shooting in georgia. they say at least nine others are injured, it could be a bigger number, but they're now saying nine, the suspect is in in fact alive and is a teenager. they're still checking whether they had -- whether that person had a prior affiliation with the school. lawn enforcement is on the scene. the new school had just begun a few weeks ago, the school there and other nearby schools were all put on lockdown earlier today, but students now at this hour seem to be in the process of being reunited with their parents and guardians, some of

them heading home. priya sridhar is at the scene, what are you seeing and hearing, what more have we learned? >> reporter: i'm not sure if you can hear it, it's farther away now, you can hear some sirens in the background because there's still a massive law enforcement presence here, authorities from local, state and national agencies, we have the fbi here, the georgia bureau of investigation all conducting an investigation because this is very much still a crime scene, about 1800 students go to apalachee high school, they were directed to move to the football field after this horrific event occurred and they were being questioned by authorities and waited for them to be reunited with their families and that's essentially what we're seeing right now, we're seeing a lot of families walking over to the school, that's because a lot of the roads in this area have been completely blocked off, so you

saw miles and miles of vehicles of families trying to get to the school as fast as possible. setting off on foot to get here. the school is directly across the street from a preschool and a middle school. kids of all ages being picked up by their families. i got an opportunity to speak to a sophomore who attends apalachee high school, she said she was in an weight lifting class when the sirens went off. she called her mom and was concerned she might never see her mom again. when she was able to eventually reunite with her mother she was sobbing historically. there's still a lot of chaos and still a lot of questions about how this could have happened and what the motive could have been. >> priya, are we getting a

better sense of what happened at all? do we know where this shooting happened? we're learning that the suspect they have in custody is indeed a teenager. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. there's a lot of speculation right now because as i mentioned this school has about 1800 students in it and a loft them went to the middle school that's right next door and they moved over to this high school when they've graduated. officially from authorities they haven't given us too much information just yet, we're expect another briefing from the barrow county sheriff in about an hour. hopefully we'll get more information at that point, kate. >> you mentioned earlier, or we mentioned there was a lackdown at school and other schools in the area, have things sort of settled down at this point, are people able to get to their

children? >> reporter: yeah, it appears that all of the lockdowns have been lifted and also it appears that so much these roads are now being opened for through traffic, so it seems like families are able to get to their students a little bit faster and a little bit more easily. we also know some schools in other surrounding counties were also placed on a lock june just out of an abundance of caution, certainly the top priority right now is for the families to be able to get to their children. >> priya, thank you so much for the latest there. we have been hearing for hours from community members reacting to the shooting trying to get in contact with loved one ones at the school. here's a bit of what some of them had to say. >> she was with one of her friends. he was two doors from where it happened. he heard some knocking on the

door before it went into lockdown, he heard banging on the door, then we heard someone said, open that efing door, let us in. then he heard boom, boom, boom. when he went to leave there was gun powder, shells and blood everywhere. >> my teacher told us to get in the corner. i heard like screaming and the police officers, get down. >> my classmate was opening the door but she turned around and said he had a gun, as soon as she said that, he started firing. >> i thought i was going to die. >> a loud boom as if a locker had slammed. then, the teacher took a peek outside, we heard repeatedly the banging again and that's when we could identify it was a gun and then the hard lockdown was place. we ran to the back of the classroom and turned off the

lights, i was shaking, scared, i didn't have my phone on me and i couldn't communicate with my mom for half an hour, i didn't know what was going to happen because you could hear the gunfire down the hall. luckily i'm here. >> my daughter called me at work. screaming. that there was a shooter at apalachee. and begged me to get there as quick as possible. so, just to start praying. for all the kids. not just my grandson, but all the kids. >> for now let's bring in tom winter. tom, i want to pick where priya left off, she was saying, look, we don't know a lot at this point and in fact there's a lot of rumors flying around the campus and among families and students there, but what do we know? >> right, on top of the sad news

ultimately that four are dead and nine are injured. we expect that injured number to go up not necessarily because of gunshot victims but students trying to flee in this very emotional moment. so, we do anticipate that. as far as the suspect, they didn't have any identification on them and there's not an immediate indication they have a driver's license, so we're reporting at this time, that in fact this is a teenager, but this might kind of shed a little light as to the specific age that's a pretty wide gamut, 13 to 19 the individual might be, might be younger than 16 years old if they don't have a driver's license. no initial identification that the suspect had on their person. that's a little bit of some information about them. and obviously, whether or not

they had any sort of tie to the school, some eyewitness testimony that seems to indicate they may have been a student there but that hasn't been confirmed by any sort of official. >> we know that this suspect is alive and in custody, any idea from people you're talking to whether they're talking with him or is he hospitalized. >> undoubtedly they're right to speak with him whether he's hospitalized or not is not something we've been briefed on yet, obviously they would want to speak to him or her with respect to motive, understand what was behind this and how a teenager depending on their age, if they're under the age of 18, i believe in georgia, how they were able to get access to a firearm and bring one into school. those are the types of things they would want to know. the minor could choose not to talk to police, there's that

complication or problem. they'll try to determine what happened here and how this all came together, but ultimately here we are, kate, start of a new school talking about the same things about, another school shooting in america. >> i hate that we're here as well, tom, you said in your reporting they're not sure whether this person, or suspect, was affiliated with this school yet, is that correct? >> yes. the only information that we have on at this point is information we're getting from some eyewitness interviews. we're talking about minors, putting out a name or information about a particular individual that could be too close to identifying that individual, we're talking about minors that's a concern that we always have here at the nbc news, we want to be careful and

absolutely certain about the information we're getting from authorities. that's something that we're happy to take our time on, so are they. they want to interview those students outside on that football field, the gbi as well as the local sheriff's department are going to be talking to those kids to see what they said or heard, so that process has been under way the last four, five hours, getting close to being wrapped up. those things will come into play as it pertains as to where this goes from here and by 4:00 eastern time there's another briefing from law enforcement officials that provides us with more answer and that would be 50 minutes from now. we'd bring that to you on this program. tom, thank you. we're thinking about those families, the families of those four people who have died and those injured.

allow israel to retain control of the philadelphia corridor a stretch of land along gaza's border we egypt. raf sanchez joins me now from tel aviv. prime minister netanyahu spoke at length, what more did he say? >> reporter: so, kate, this was an unusual press conference, the prime minister spoke only in english and only to the international media, first chance in 11 months of war and put our questions directly to israel's leader, he made the case that israel can't afford to withdraw from key zone, the philadelphia corridor, the gaza/egypt border if israel does, hamas will re-arm, but his position, his refusal to leave that corridor has become a major stumbling block in these

negotiations and i asked him about the mother of one of the six hostages who were murdered by hamas last week, she was giving a heartbreaking eulogy at her son's funeral and she said, her son had been sacrificed by netanyahu on the altar of the philadelphia corridor, i asked him, was he prepared to see more hostages killed as the cost of staying in that zone, take a listen to what he said. >> i can understand the internal that the mother that this murdered hostage feels, i understand her rage, i can understand her sorrow, i'm committed to getting all them out, i got more than half out and more than of the hostages alive. we leave the pressure we'll get no one out. i'm committed as the prime minister of israel, first,

achieve the release of hostages, second, secure israel. no more hostage-taking. no more murders or rapes. >> reporter: the protesters say if israel doesn't withdraw from the philadelphia corridor it will not be able to get hostages out, netanyahu is making the exact opposite argument saying if israel withdraws from the philadelphia corridor it will remove all pressure on hamas and hamas won't release those hostages. we'll see which version is right, kate. >> raf, thanks so much for your reporting. we're following more breaking news this hour the biden administration said it has uncovered a russian-backed scheme to manipulate u.s. public opinion ahead of the presidential election, earlier today the justice department announced wide-ranging actions meant to disrupt russian influence including sanctions, indictments and seizures of web

they are illegally squatting in these apartments, and these are apartments that are slated for demolition. we witnessed one eviction of an elderly woman earlier this morning. deputies, you can see they were armed with a shield, a battering ram and weapons just in case. but as a lieutenant told me off camera, they weren't necessary in this instance. and these, he pointed out, these are not criminal evictions. these are civil in nature. he said. they are trying to remove these people with care and dignity. we spoke with the woman's daughter shortly after her mother was allowed to retrieve her belongings, and then asked to leave the property. how long has she been living in that unit? 15 years? yes, 15 years. and has she been paying rent? oh, no. she. what's she been doing? she's been in there and been harassing her. ain't nobody been harassing her, right? don't wait till 2024 to come try to put somebody out. they ain't got nowhere to go. she had a whole house in there. where is she going to go? i don't know what she going to go. she going to the housing rights committee of san francisco, which is advocating for these people. being evicted is calling on the housing authority to stop these massive evictions. they say many of these people had

been paying rent and or living in the unit for more than a year, but paying the rent to a corrupt property manager, according to the chronicle. by the way, this morning's evictions was not a surprise, at least not for that woman. there was an eviction notice and a no trespassing warning posted on the door to her unit, and apparently had been there for several days here in san francisco. bob redell nbc bay area news. bob, thank you. south bay prosecutors are looking for a man accused of scamming thousands of people over phony inventions. the santa clara da's office says that dennis fountain is a serial fraudster. on the run after being convicted of fraud charges. the da says fountain has a history of scamming investors. most recently, he was convicted for tricking one group into thinking he'd created a medical robot for the elderly and disabled. da says he scammed them out of more than $350,000. he skipped his sentencing last month and is now a fugitive. he also has a history of crimes in florida. if you see him, you are asked to

apalachee high school, that's some of what may come to light when we hear from authorities, we mow that local police are working in conjunction with federal authorities who have been on the scene for hours since this morning. to present a unified investigative front here. reunifications are still taking place after hundreds of those students were escorted from the high school premises to that nearby football field where parents were then able to be connected with them, as we've seen some of these wired shots, it's important to note there was a nearby middle school and elementary school placed on soft lockdowns, sheltering in place while the larger investigation took place inside the high school, those lock browns have since been lifted there, so that's good news as there's parents have been able to reconnected with their children. in the meantime, four people

dead and nine injured. the gunman in custody. much more to come from apalachee high school. >> morgan, we've been hearing from students as they're leaving school. >> i was crying. i didn't want to die that way. i don't really want to meet the lord that way. some kids were telling others to stop crying because it was probably scaring them. it was really scarey, because he was a quiet kid who sat in the background. >> so that's one student's account. we feel like we've done this before unfortunately, this is a community just so devastated now. >> reporter: it is. you have this community about 50 miles northeast of atlanta, winder, 19,000 strong, the

enrollment at apalachee high school, about 1900, you get a sense of how tight-knit that community is, we do we know there were air lifts in response to this shooting this morning, we've heard at least one medical help copter taking one of those passengers away from the hospital in atlanta. kate. >> we hope that people are well and those students get home safe. morgan, thank you. now to an nbc news exclusive, ukrainian president zelenskyy sat down with nbc news to discuss ukraine's seizure of russia territory was a comes as russia appears to be amplifying its assault on ukraine, ukrainian officials said moscow carried out a number of overnight attacks.

realized something was wrong. my daughter called me at work screaming that there was a shooter at apalachee and begged me to get there as quick as possible. so i went and told the office manager and took off. investigators say reports claiming that the shooter was neutralized are inaccurate. they say reports of additional shootings nearby are also false. all right. back in our area, we are still tracking hot temperatures across the bay area. here's meteorologist kari hall with our forecast. today we're looking at a high of 102 degrees. pretty widespread triple digit heat for the inland valleys. and it will be just as hot tomorrow. but then going into friday, we're in the upper 90s making progress toward some more comfortable temperatures by sunday. we're in the upper seconds and then mid 80s in next week's forecast for san francisco. we're looking at some warm weather for today. we're
