7:04 am
jonathan havivigliotti is outsi the center with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. highlights just how close the nursing home was to getting help. a hospital directly across the street. we're talking literally 15 steps. a facility that was working and had air conditioning. now this morning so many people wondering why more wasn't done to prevent this tragedy from happening in the first place. >> i opened my eyes. said, oh, my god. >> reporter: carmen rodriguez is family to the oldest victim in this tragedy, 99-year-old alberttina vega. >> they have no air conditioning. how they have those poor people? >> this is very tragic. >> reporter: hollywood police chief tom sanchez says investigators believe the deaths were heat related. >> they were utilizing portable units which were insignificant to reduce the excessive heat in the facility. >> reporter: at 3:00 a.m. wednesday, fire rescue crews responded to a 911 calm fro the
7:05 am
nursing home reporting a cardiac arrest. an hour later, this time, a patient was having trouble breathing. a fire official reported concerns about the facility. when rescuers responded to a third call, they found three dead bodies on the second floor that was described as extremely hot. evacuation order began around 6:15 a.m. and coordination with memorial hospital across the street. it took three hours to evacuate all 158 patients. many filed out on stretchers and in wheelchairs. they were taken to various local hospitals and treated for respiratory distress, dehydration and heat-related issues. family members frantically searched for loved ones. the nursing home has a poor record with regulators and is ranked as much below average, with a one out of five rating on a federal nursing home ranking website. in a statement, the facility says they immediately contacted florida power and light after the air conditioning broke down.
7:06 am
and also reached out to local and emergency first responders. florida senator bill nelson has asked for a federal investigation into the incident. >> i think it is an emerging scandal of gargantuan proportions. >> reporter: they went door to door, spot checking all of the city's 42 nurse homes. in one case they say they found one that was in the dark and had to evacuate the five people inside. family members of those inside this nursing home say this morning they are frustrated. they say they never heard from staff at the home. instead, they say, they found out about this tragedy from watching the media and getting calls from reporters. >> thanks, jonathan. with us now is the mayor of hollywood, florida, josh levy. good morning, mr. mayor. >> good morning. >> obviously, there are investigations going to be under way. what can you tell us when you have a situation in which something is described as an
7:07 am
oven? how could this happen? >> look, we're so saddened by this occurrence, to have eight people lose their life due to the apparent negligence of the staff of a nursing home facility that couldn't raise the red flag soon enough and it wasn't until the paramedics arrived and the calls, you know, came in that it was demanded that an inspection of the entire facility take place. until dead bodies were discovered. >> there are so many questions. what do you say -- i think offended most people is that there's a hospital right across the street that had air conditioned facilities. i'm sure you've asked the question to the staff about what happen happened. why didn't you do something? what is the answer you've gotten? >> well, clearly, as you can imagine, there's an ongoing criminal investigation. the only person with the city of hollywood that this staff was interviewing with yesterday would have been homicide
7:08 am
investigators. >> 150 of the 700 nursing homes in florida are reportedly without power. there are also 42 other facilities in hollywood where you are. what can you say about assuring people who have family members here that this won't happen again? >> look, we live in florida. we are in a tropical climate. hurricanes are a fact of life. and when state regulators enact laws requiring, for example, the idea of backup generators for nursing homes, they need to be aware that needs to be enforced and that needs to be regulated and required. in florida, it's interesting, we require gas stations to have backup generators but apparently, given how many nursing home facilities in florida were reported, 150 you say, did not have power or still right now, as of yesterday, it doesn't seem like there's a requirement for nursing homes to have a backup generator but yet for gas stations we do. >> how fast will it take you to
7:09 am
change that? >> look, i know that this event will raise awareness to this circumstance. i expect the legislature going into session later this year actually will not -- will not avoid looking at this. this needs to be looked at right away by our states and regulating agencies. action needs to be taken. i think this makes it more clear than ever. >> mayor, we're sorry for what people had to suffer there. thank you for joining us this morning. president trump is on his way to southwest florida right now to see the hurricane damage. a county official says eight people died in the florida keys during irma. the deathings were, quote, both storm related and due to national causes. at least 40 people were injured. the lower keys, where irma made landfall on sunday, are still blocked off. elaine kquijano of our streamin network cbsn is in windley key. >> reporter: here in the florida
7:10 am
key, power running water and communicationings have been virtually nonexistence since sunday. those conditionings have made recovery more difficult for both those who stayed and the first responders who are now here to help. about 2,000 national guard membersters are keys to help distribute food and water. >> all right, we've got another helicopter inbound. >> reporter: crowds lined up at this parking lot in key west. for many, it's the first aid they've received in four days. manuel bojorquez. >> it was running out in the shelters. thank god we finally got something. >> reporter: of the roughly 50,000 homes in the florida keys, 90% are estimated to be damaged or destroyed by hurricane irma. >> fire department. >> reporter: first responders are painstakingly searching through every one of them, looking for anyone, dead or

7:12 am
running short of food after hurricane irma's destructive blast. survivors lined up for food in st. thomas where many people are now relying on military rations. u.s. marines delivered a shipment of water that's part of the aid that is now arriving. irma turned much of st. thomas into rubble. one week later, power is restored in some areas. at least one water pump station is back online. we have disturbing new detail also about the deadly shooting at a washington state high school. the headline echoing cries this morning captured the moments of terror in the school's hallways. a gunman killed a sophomore yesterday in the small town near spokane. three other students who are also shot are in stable condition. witnesses say the suspected gunman is a student. he is in custody but has not been charged. outside freeman high school in rockford with what we're learning about the relationship between the alleged shooter and the student who died.

7:15 am
a lot of lives. norah. >> all right, thank you so much. president trump is pushing back this morning against democratic claims that they have a framework for a deal to save nearly 700,000 young immigrants from deportation. the democrats say the potential agreement would replace daca and funding the border wall would not be part of the deal. but this morning the president tweeted no deal was made last night on daca. massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. nancy cordes is on capitol hill to explain it all. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. decoding this. everyone is essentially saying the same thing. they're just using different words. essentially they did come to an agreement last night on a framework for how to deal with these young people. it involves taking the dream act. granting them the chance to apply for legal status and pairing it with the border security measures that republicans want without the border wall funding that democrats hate. but conservatives are still
7:16 am
going to see that as a betrayal. and the white house knows it. >> we met last night with, as you know, schumer, pelosi and the whole group. i think we're fairly close but we have to get massive border security. >> reporter: democratic leaders said last night he had agreed to enshrine the protections of daca into law quickly and work out a package of border security excluding the wall. white house press secretary sara sanders quickly shot back, while daca and border security were both discussed, excluding the wall was certainly not agreed to. >> more and more, we're trying to work things out together. >> reporter: but the president made the same promise to a bipartisan group of lawmakers earlier in the day. texas democrat henny cuellar. >> we're not going to tie the wall to daca. >> reporter: democratic sources say mr. trump has a soft spot for the dreamers and likes the reaction he got for cutting another bipartisan deal over the debt ceiling last week.
7:17 am
conservative congressman steve king tweeted, if the president is backing off the wall, trump base is blown up, destroyed. no promise is credible. late last night, steve bannon's website breitbart called the president amnesty don. the former white house chief strategist told charlie rose that a deal on daca would alienate the president's supporters. >> there's no path to citizenship. no path to a green card. and no amnesty. amnesty is non-negotiable. >> reporter: but president trump himself countered this morning. does anybody really want to throw out good educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? really? aides have said before he is pthis package as long as he get it in some other bill. >> all right, thank you, nancy. there are growing indications this morning that social media executives will be called to testify about russian activity on their website.
7:18 am
facebook announced last week it found about 3,000 ads with messages about divisive issues. the ads were linked to russian internet trolls. but congressional investigators tell cbs news the revelation is likely just the tip of the iceberg. jeffrey gauge is in washington with the next steps of this investigation. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: the top come demon the committee wants facebook to be more forth coming about this. senator mark warner believes the scope of russian activity on the social media giant was more wide spread than facebook is currently acknowledging. but a facebook official says because of federal laws and the ongoing russia investigations, the company is limited in what it can say. that is just one part of the russian investigation. and in connecticut with another aspect of it, department of justice says it will not allow two top fbi officials to testify about the firing of james comey. in a letter obtaineded by cbs
7:19 am
news, justice department officials said they want to protect the integrity of special counsel mueller's investigation. there are reports that the son of former national security adviser michael flynn is now also under scrutiny. michael flynn jr. is a close business associate of his father and he also took a trip to moscow with his father back in december of 2015. norah. >> all right, a lot of reporting there, jeff, thank you so much. equifax executives could face criminal charges related to the massive data breach. ahead, how the massive attack has put the entire credit reporting

patients appear to be heat related. a criminal investigation is under way. the home was evacuated yesterday after hurricane irma knocked out air conditioning. >> florida governor rick scott ordered emergency workers to check all nursing homes in the state to make sure patients are safe. jonathan vigliotti is outside the nursing home in hollywood, florida. good morning. >> norah, good morning. that nursing home is located directly across the street from the hospital that had power and working air conditioning at the time this all unfolded. inside right now, several patients that are seeking treatment, three people died inside the home. five people died in or on the way to the hospital. it took three hours to evacuate all 158 patients. many were taken out in wheelchairs and stretchers. here is the time line of how this unfolded. at 3:00 a.m. yesterday, fire crews responded to a 911 call from the nursing home due to a cardiac arrest. an hour later, we're told there
8:03 am
was another 911 call for a patient with breathing issues. when rescuers responded to a third call, they found three dead patients and that's when they began evacuating. the nursing home has come under scrutiny before. federal regulators gave it a one out of five for health inspection rate iing. that's considered, quote, much below average. the center said it did not lose power during the storm but a transformer that powers an air conditioning unit went down. the facility says when that happened, they reached out to florida power and light and set up a mobile cooling unit for fans. and we spoke with one woman whose friend was inside this nursing home. she went to visit her yesterday, an 85-year-old woman. she said she was gasping for air. and, gayle, this morning we're learning that she was among the eight victims. >> oh, boy. jonathan, thank you very much. hollywood police chief tom sanchez is with us now. he is also at the nursing home which, you might expect, is closed. chief sanchez, thank you for joining us. >> good morning. >> this is a heartbreaking --
8:04 am
good morning, sir. a heartbreaking situation, the temperatures, the power was working but the air conditioning was not. i know that the investigation is in its early stages but what can you tell us about what you have learned so far? >> so, listen, thank you, you're right. this is a tragic event. the senseless loss of these eight individuals' lives. as the time line you just reported, when we, the police, got here at 6:30 we assisted with evacuation as soon as the 158 other patients were evacuated outside the facility, we sealed the facility as a crime scene. we worked hand in hand with memorial hospital, right next door, and our fire department to triage each of the patients, classify them as their need of care, get buses here. we inundated the south florida
8:05 am
hospitals with these patients. we set up a tent for families and phone number for them to be able to know where they can find their families. >> why do you think this took so long for officials to realize that this was a very serious situation? >> right. we're looking into that now. i can tell you that it's not uncommon for fire and rescue to respond here. we responded here over 100 times last year, for different types of medical calls. so, the first call that was a cardiac arrest around 3:00 as you stated, and that person was taken over to memorial hospital. sadly enough, that was one of the patients that passed away just a little bit after 3:00 in the afternoon yesterday. and then by the second time the call came, difficulty breathing, the fire lieutenant, the third time they came out, they sounded the alarm. they started notifying people and then that's when the response came in and as fire crews were inside, they
8:06 am
determined three other individuals had passed away. >> chief, how many other nursing homes -- i've heard as many as 40 in your area -- may not have electricity. >> right. well, that's a very good question. as a preventive measure, i sent our officers to all 42 nursing homes yesterday. there was one that we found that did not have sufficient electricity, and it was very hot inside, as was the nursing home here that we're investigating. we made the determination to have that nursing home evacuate. it was very small, and the five patients were brought also here to hollywood memorial hospital. you know, i can tell you that one positive of this is that the department was ready. my day started out yesterday morning addressing 230 police officers at 7:00 a.m. as they came on shift to deal with the hurricane aftermath.
8:07 am
you know, we, luckily, did not get hit by the storm but have extensive damage throughout the city and power outages. more than 130 cops were manning traffic lights. some of them have been on shift for more than ten days and so we had all the detectives already working. they were part of the first responders that came out here to help with the evacuation. so the investigation was able to start quickly. we're the only police department i know of that two years ago started a program. >> i know. >> with the state agency that investigates the health administration department. >> chief sanchez? >> yes, ma'am? >> i was just going to say i know how stretched thin and how your team is working so hard and so thanks to all of them. and i know you're working so hard to make sure this doesn't happen again. thank you so much for all your team does. >> thank you, ma'am. president trump is in florida right now, getting a briefing from officials there. the president and the first lady landed in ft. myers minutes ago.

8:11 am
different ways, is that they want to move forward quickly to address the legal status of these d.r.e.a.m.ers and the obvious way to do is to combine the d.r.e.a.m. act with the border security funding while excluding the border wall funding that is a nonstarter for the democrats. the president realizes this is going to cause a lot of heartburn among his base. that's why he's also tweeting this morning that the wall will still get built. >> there's the essential question, does this really represent a new beginning in relationships between democrats in congress and republicans in congress, but especially between democrats and the president? >> reporter: well, i think what it says is that the president likes to be able to not just cut deals, but cut quick deals. and he's able to do that with democrats. he knows when nancy pelosi or chuck schumer say we've got the votes for x, y and z, they're going to be right. it's a lot more messy when he's dealing with the republican leaders, who have a lot of
