shooting in hi school. dpr. >> this all happened an hour outside of atlanta. apalachee high school yesterday. four people and two students, four people including two students and two teachers were killed. nine others were wounded. the suspect is being held at a youth detention center. federal authorities said he was previously investigated over school shooting threats. >> members of the community came together last night for a candlelight vigil. one student described what it was like to be in his class room. >> i started getting concerned. i kind of knew the students. you're going to expect a normal day of school. go to seven hours.

some people didn't make it out of that school. >> so sad. nbc news correspondent yes, sir se kirsch is in winder, georgia. jesse, we're also learning that the suspect is expected to make a first court appearance tomorrow. where does the investigation stand? >> reporter: we're told this is going to be a virtual appearance for the suspect's arraignment. colt gray, 14 years old, face four felony murder charges according to authorities we're expecting more charges to be filed later on, we'll keeping an eye on that. we heard from the sheriff a little bit more detail about the technology helping potentially saving lives here. there's this device that teachers have that allows them to press a button to alert authorities. >> the teacher's each have an i.d. with their picture on it

and it alerts us where that incident is occurring. it sends us to the i.d. it locks down the school's screens the teachers know to go in and lock the doors. >> reporter: we're told that technology was just implemented here in recent days within the last couple of weeks, again, just think what might have happened if that wasn't already in place. >> you can only imagine. today a memorial is growing outside that school. talk to us about what we learned about these victims. >> reporter: so we know two students, two teachers were killed, a total of four people, nine people were shot and injured according to authorities and we're told that all nine of those injured are expected to survive, are expected to be physically okay, so that's some welcoming news in light of this

tragedy, we're told that the four people killed, two students were both 14 years old and two teachers were both members of the math department at the school district. >> devastating losses there, jesse kirsch, thanks so much. let's bring in tom winter. tom, the sheriff's department said the suspected shooter was brand new to this school district, what more are we learning about the suspect and the investigation. >> well, what we're learning and told in the last hour or so from several senior law enforcement officials is that based on the searches and investigation they've conducted so far this 14-year-old appears to have had a significant interest in prior 18 deadly maz shooting at a t school in florida, the parkland high school. apparent a lot of interest in this suspect. recently charged with four felony counts of murder, he also

reported expected for those charges to go up because there are a number of other individuals who were shot here, nine shot additionally, that's what we're learning as far as what they've found in that investigation so far. >> tom, we learned there were warning signs about this 14-year-old, yet this still happened, from a law enforcement perspective, could more have been done. >> there was a posting on an online gaming platform, referenced an often named school, not a speck time, showed a photograph of guns, that happened a certain point in time, later a tipster contacted the fbi's nation gnat threat center and said hey, this is out there, the fbi finds that post, finds the i.p. address to an internet router, they find the

address, referred it to the local sheriff's office in georgia, we're told within 12 hours of that work being done the sheriff's office is alt the house, but this family moved. all occurring in may of 2023, the family moved, they tracked down the family where they moved to, they interviewed the family and as we've been reporting throughout the day, the individual apparently said that the threat wasn't his and the guns at his home were secured. >> to be clear, in georgia, there's no law allowing law enforcement authorities to seize weapons, is that right. >> reporter: that's right, kate, there's no yellow or red flag laws, the emergency risk protection order allow police to petition to judge we think there's a threat or a concern to life here, can we grab these guns just for a period of time from anybody in the home to make sure the person who might be

making these threats isn't around them, that law doesn't exist in georgia. >> tom winter, thank you. for more let's bring in jim kavanagh, nbc terrorism analyst. one of the biggest questions outstanding is motive, why this young man did this, allegedly did this. a sunday bite for an interview with the local sheriff. >> he was a brand-new student to barrow county schools, he enrolled two weeks prior, this was his second day of school, he left early on that day and this was his first full day. >> jim, being brand new to the school, how did that complicate things as investigators try to figure this out. >> this kid is obsessed with school shootings, he's researching the parkland school

shooting. they become obsessed with columbine or parkland. they want to be a part of the in group, in other words, the discord app, they're in the discord app where people cheer school shootings and mass killings and they become a celebrated person, they become celebrated on the dark corners of the internet, this is the community he wants to be a member of to gain his infamy, it sounds crazy to normal people but we all want to be a part of in part of our community. he wants to be part of that in group of mass kills. it's not revenge on the school. the change in school is added pressure on the kid and then he's already, you know, for more than a year fantasizing about shooting up a school. >> just disturbing. jim, law enforcement officials

say the teachers were warned with panic buttons, technology that saved lives yesterday, is this technology common in schools? >> exactly, it should be more prevalent and wider, there are basic panic buttons but the one sheriff's describe is the gps location that's give on the sheriff's deputy. getting to shooting scenes we want to find out where the shooter, we're hoping for calls, support, to stop the killer and stop the shooting. >> it's incredible how fast they were able to get right to him. jim, thank you so much. >> thank you. let's take a turn now and go to today's cnbc money minute.

guilty plea in which he admits the possibility or the probability that he would be convicted based on the available everyday but does not factually admit wrongdoing. that's why special counsel representing the prosecution is so strenuously opposed to such a guilty plea, he says hunter biden is guilty. that's why he's refusing to accept this on its face. it's up to the judge and the judge is saying that both sides need to present their best arguments. hunter biden's legal team is urging them to make a decision on this today. the government on the other hand the prosecution is saying they were again taken by surprise and they need more time to come up with a thorough response to this sub substantiate their assertion that such a plea would be uncertain. uncertain whether the judge will

send home the jury pool or resume tomorrow. >> to that end, what might happen next here if the judge rejects this plea? >> reporter: the expectation is that the trial would proceed as it would, jury selection today and tomorrow there's a group of about 125 jurors the judge would need to get those down to 12. the trial was initially scheduled to begin monday. we don't know whether there would be a delay, but the trial would move on as initially planned. >> david, thank you so much. the countdown is on to the first face-off between vice president kamala harris and former president donald trump. with only five days to go until that presidential debate next tuesday night, both campaigns have finally agreed to the ground rules. yesterday harris picked up a key endorsement from a high-profile

wen's investigative reporting that began last year showed response times and staffing issues at the oakland 911 system were in trouble. in march, the city announced it was making improvements to the system, but in july, oakland admitted it would not meet state deadlines to increase the percentage of all calls that were answered within 15 seconds. the california office of emergency services said it would help the city meet the deadline, and last month, oes said it was increasing monitoring of the system. state funding for local 911 units requires the system to answer at least 90% of calls within 15 seconds. it's not all hardware or software problems, though. staffing is also an issue. there are currently still five unstaffed dispatch positions in the system, and it takes ten months and the time of an experienced 911 operator to train every new dispatcher. and it's the 911 callers who suffer most when they need help fast. in august last year, oakland 911 dispatchers answered just 37% of

calls within the 15 second window. that number improved to 50% by december and to 55% by this past march. but then it dipped back down to 47% in may. the true test on whether or not these upgrades that are being announced are working will be in the oes data in coming months, whether or not those response times are coming up, the rate of them closer to that 90% level. if oakland does not meet that requirement, it could lose state funding for the 911 system in the east bay. thom jensen nbc, bay area news. thanks, tom. our investigative reporter, candice nguyen has been following this story from the beginning. watch her past reports on our website, nbc bay area.com/investigations. in the south bay now where an investigation is underway after flames tore through this east san jose strip mall early this morning. this was on south alum rock avenue between 680 and south capitol avenue. the first calls came in just before four this morning. the fire quickly went to three alarms.

>> reporter: this was a scheduling hearing, so the two sides argue td about how they want to move forward with this case in light of that historic supreme court decision that presidents are immuned from prosecution for their official acts. judge chutkan ran this hearing as brisk, tidy, she chastised donald trump's lawyers for right to suggest because he's running for president he needed special consideration. at one point she said i'm not considering the presidential election i'm talking about a four-count criminal indictment, the two sides disagree about how to proceed. judge chutkan suggested that she was leaning towards the prosecution's view that there would be briefings filed rather soon on the question of what conduct in this indictment can be admitted under the immunity deal. they'll argue about that. she'd make a ruling that could

be appealed. she'll rule on the scheduling order by the end of today. >> putting this in context, two months out from this year's election, where does this case go from here and how does it play out around november? >> reporter: so it can't go to trial before the election, that's clear, but what might happen and what could happen based on today's hearing is a series of briefings and potentially hearings with new everyday in this case, including grand jury transcripts and fbi records of interviews, things that the public hasn't seen yet of this alleged conspiracy and that could have political consequences as the two sides argue about how to proceed. protesters in israel have taken to the streets for a fifth straight night demanding prime minister netanyahu reach a cease-fire agreement with hamas. so far he's refusing to buckle to pressure, it comes as nbc news reports the families of

some hostages are hoping the white house takes matters into their own hands. nbc news international correspondent matt bradley joins us from tel aviv, more protests tonight in tel aviv, what's happening? >> reporter: yeah, i mean, this is the fifth day of protest and every night we've been seeing the numbers diminished. what's significant here the fact the protests have been going on every night, these protests aren't exactly new, we've been seeing them ever since october 7th demanding some kind of deal and demanding the government free those hostages. what's significant they're nightly not weekly, so the question is whether or not they'll be able to sustain these protests and we can expect a lot more people on saturday both saturday's a day off of course and also because that's the tradition nalt date every week for having these protests. we can expect a lot more. the big question is, whether or not these loud outdoor voices are being heard inside the hall.

prime minister netanyahu the target of this, he's said no, he won't be yielding on those protests. that he yield the philadelphia corridor. he says that troops must stay there and a lot of these protesters in the strgs and family members of these hostages are saying that insistence demonstrates that the prime minister himself is trying to stand in the way of a deal that would free their family members and the young people still caught inside the. >> families of american hostages still being held by hamas are urging the white house to negotiate directly with hamas to secure their release. >> reporter: this was a great get by great colleagues in washington, we reported this

line out here in the east is not getting less, the fact that ukraine has managed to take a piece of russia is not alleviating pressure on the front lines, if anything here, it's getting more intense, it seems vladimir putin is not falling for the bait and not taking his troops out of eastern ukraine and sending them to other parts of russia, he's continuing to pound eastern ukraine and this particular small city is considered strategic. because if russian troops are able to take it they'll dominate roads, all across the area and make further advances in eastern ukraine far easier. >> nbc's richard engel in ukraine, thank you. tomorrow, boeing starliner spacecraft will attempt to return to earth without its crew, issues with starliner, forced nasa to keep that spacecraft and its astronauts on the international space station.

students, but the cdc noted that that drop has been happening since 2019, so the fda has done a lot of work to crack down on vaping. they say this appears to be working. >> dr. john, you wonder if it's not just as cool as it was, maybe that's not the right word or trendy, it's marketed vaping as an alternative to smoking that's safer, that's not necessarily true. >> exactly. we found out over the years it's not as safe as we thought it was, first came out as an alternative to smoking. it kind of switched from there and like a lot of products it went into this cool category where a lot of teenagers, middle schoolers and high schoolers ended up using it. we found out as time went out the vape chemicals themselves are causing a lot of issues.
