adriana diaz is in benton, 100 miles northwest of nashville, with the response to this latest attack. adriana, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the shooting has shaken this tight knit community of less than 5,000 people. police haven't identified the shooter or his motive but investigators, including the fbi and the atf, are trying to figure out why this student walked into his school and opened fire. >> it still doesn't feel real. it doesn't feel like it actually happened. >> reporter: moments after arriving at school, teenagers were scrambling for cover as their fellow student began shooting. >> it sounded like there was a fight, someone was hitting on the window. i took out my headphones and turned around and everyone was just broken up. >> reporter: the school immediately went into lockdown. but some students had already fled the grounds. >> i took off. i started running. i was scared for my life. >> reporter: one student went back inside to rescue her friend who was unharmed. >> she was my friend. i can't leave her. and we got her and left.

panic. there had to have been 400 kids. and i started to flee in my car. that's when i saw my friend danny, he was laying in the field, he had been shot. and he was surrounded by some teachers. and they didn't know what to do. i put him in my car. >> so you helped bring danny into your car and then to the hospital? >> yeah. one of my teachers, dan lee, and my assistant principal, were there and helped get him into my car. he was shot in the shoulder. and he was scared and he didn't -- no one really knew what to do. i put him in my car and drove as fast as i could. >> tristan, you just reacted, amazi amazingly. what was going through your head when you were driving there and while all of this was happening? >> terror. i was scared. i mean, i didn't know if the shooter was behind us. i didn't really know what --

where anything was going on. i just saw so many kids running. there were people running that were shot. danny, he made it about 50 yards outside the school before he collapsed. and that's when the teachers rushed to him, trying to help him, they realized he was shot. i was just scared. there was a lot of fear. >> we understand that, tristan. let me ask you this. nobody ever thinks this could happen to them, certainly not at their school, not at their home. what do you and your friends and your community need most at this time? >> we need each other. there's a lot of people that's affected. i mean, everybody in our county is feeling this. i've been called -- i was called probably 30 times before 9:00 that morning, checking if i was okay. that was just close friends and relatives. everybody wants to know what's going on. they just want to be together to help each other through it. >> we can all learn a lot from

your actions. tristan cline, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> our hearts of course go out to tristan and everybody in that community. the white house believes special counsel robert mueller will interview president trump in the next few weeks. mueller's questioning would focus on possible obstruction of justice in the firing of fbi director james comey. >> the president and other republicans claim there's bias in that investigation. and it extends to missing text messages sent by two fbi officials who worked on the russia probe. the president tweeted this last night: where are the 50,000 important text messages? blaming samsung. paula reid has the latest from washington. paula, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. actually 50,000 texts have been found but the president is correct that the fbi is still missing five months' worth of text messages exchanged between two fbi officials accused of

bias. cbs news has confirmed that the mueller team has spoken with james comey and jeff sessions. attorney general jeff sessions is the first of the president's cabinet known to be interviewed by special counsel mueller. >> no, i didn't, but i'm not at all concerned. >> reporter: but the president didn't seem too worried yesterday when asked about the meeting. earlier this month president trump discounted the idea of being interviewed himself. >> it has been determined that there is no collusion and by virtually everybody. so we'll see what happens. >> i think the president has to be concerned. >> reporter: kim wehle is a former federal prosecutor who is an independent counselor during the whitewater investigation. what kind of information could attorney general sessions offer to the special counsel? >> he could be a target of the special counsel himself or he

could give information about people higher up in government, such as the vice president, the president, jared kushner. >> reporter: the missing text messages are from a critical five-month period during the russia investigation. but senate intelligence chairman richard burr tamped down any conspiracy theories. >> i don't know that i read anything into it. there may be a technical glitch at the bureau. >> reporter: senator chuck schumer says the focus on text messages is an attempt to divert tension aw attention away from the mueller investigation. >> he shouldn't be thwarted in any way. the diversion they're trying to do with mueller and others is not good for the country. >> reporter: a senior law enforcement official tells cbs

news that shortly after james comey was fired as fbi chief, president trump asked the number two at the fbi who he voted for in 2016. something that will surely be of interest to robert mueller. >> paula, thank you so much. the senate's top democrat has changed his mind about paying for a wall along mexico's border. minority leader chuck schumer offered to go along with president trump's demand less than a week ago. now schumer says the wall is off the table. the president responded on twitter last night, saying if there is no wall, there is no daca. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. so schumer argues that the president scuttled that deal they were crafting so he's scuttling his offer. now that the two sides are embarking on new negotiations here on capitol hill. but it's also true that democratic political considerations have changed. last week, they were trying to show that they were bending over backwards to try to avert a shutdown. so they let it be known that

schumer was willing to meet the president's full request for border wall funding, about $25 billion in exchange for legal protections for immigrants brought to this country illegally as children. but now, they are taking a tougher stance to try to pacify a furious liberal base, activists who say democrats caved on government funding for nothing more than a promise from the gop leader to hold a vote on dreamers next month. congressional negotiators now have just 15 days to cut a dreamer deal. and republicans say schumer's backtrack is going to slow things down. democrats argue, john, that republicans have been slow walking these talks for months. >> thanks, nancy. looks like a solutions is a long way off. save the children's office is the newest target for terrorists in afghanistan after a suicide car bombing and rampage this morning. at least two people were killed

in the eastern city of jalalabad, following a high profile assault in a hotel in the capital, kabul. four americans were among 22 killed over the weekend. two more americans were wounded. david martin is at the pentagon. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the trump administration is five months into a new afghan strategy that is supposed to turn a stalemate into a win. so far, it has been unable to stop terrorists from killing american citizens and others in kabul. eyewitnesses said six taliban fighters roamed the halls of the intercontinental hotel, looking for foreigners to kill. some guests escaped over balconies while others hid under beds or in bathtubs. it took nearly 14 hours for afghan commandos to take back the hotel. by then, 22 were dead, many more wounded. >> the taliban has claimed responsibility. we don't have any proof of that

yet. >> reporter: seven years ago, the taliban claimed responsibility for a similar attack on the intercontinental which left at least 21 dead. more recently, 40 people were killed last month in the bombing of a cultural center. and 150 in a truck bombing last may. after 16 years of war and 2,400 american combat deaths, the afghan capital is so unsafe, visitors have to take a helicopter from the airport to the u.s. embassy. and the blast walls around the city keep getting higher. >> it's a country at war. and it's a capital that is under attack. >> reporter: general john nicholson, the top american commander in afghanistan, told lara logan of "60 minutes" the new u.s. strategy relies on afghan troops to do the fighting, backed up by american air strikes. there are 13,000 u.s. troops in afghanistan. nicholson said there are no plans for any major increases. >> this is it, right? there's no more, this is the end game? >> yes, this is the end game.

this is a policy that can deliver a win. >> reporter: a win means forcing the taliban to negotiate an end to the fighting. and nicholson estimates it will take two years for the new strategy to produce results. in the meantime, kabul will remain a target for high profile attacks not just by the taliban but by any of the 21 terrorist groups that operate in afghanistan. >> david, thank you. the ncaa is opening an investigation into how michigan state handled sexual abuse allegations against former u.s. olympic director larry nassar. nass areas employ nassar was employed by the university at the time he sexually assaulted girls. more than 150 victims have given impact statements in court since last week. more are speaking right now ahead of nassar's expected sentencing later today. dr. jon lapook is here, he's been following the story. jon, good morning. >> good morning, gayle.

michigan state university students will protest friday to demand president luana simon resign over the scandal. but a member of the school board says she will not step down. many of nassar's accusers accuse the university and usa gymnastics for allowing abuse to last for years. >> your priority should have been my health. yet your priority was solely to molest me. >> reporter: as mattie larson addressed larry nassar in court, her emotions ranged from sadness to rage. >> i can't put into words how much i [ bleep ] hate you. >> reporter: she says she once purposely injured herself at home to avoid going to a training camp where she was treated by nassar. >> i wasn'm so sad to think abow desperate i was at that time. >> reporter: modernre than 150 n and girls have confronted nassar

in court. >> i want you to apologize to me right here. i want to forgive you but i also want to hear you tell me you regret all the hurt you caused. >> reporter: nassar appeared to respond, saying he's sorry. >> thank you. >> usag and msu, how could you have let this happen? >> reporter: many victims directed blame at usa gymnastics and michigan state. >> the first step towards being able to change is to acknowledge what you did wrong. usag and msu have consistently refused to do that. >> reporter: in november we sat down with rachael denhollander after nassar pled guilty to sexually assaulting her and other girls. she will be the last victim to give an impact statement in court after being the first to publicly reveal her identity. >> i can stop my abuser. but i can't do anything about the person that rises to take his place if the culture of abuse at these organizations isn't changed. >> with three victims including

denhollander left to give their impact statements today, the judge says sentencing is likely to happen later this morning. nass areas sentenced to 60 years in prison last year for child pornography charges. in this case the prosecutor has asked for up to 125 years. >> jon, that judge said to the girls, leave your pain here and go out and do your magnificent things. thank you for continuing to report on this. thank you. a judge could decide today whether to cut off communication between two parents and the 13 children they're accused of holding captive. ahead, new information about the

today regulators from the food and drug administration will consider a potentially safer alternative to cigarettes. phillip morris international wants the fda to approve a new tobacco device that's called iqos. the company says the pen-like product creates an aerosol that's less toxic and poses less risk of disease. smoking is the leading cause of preventible death in the u.s. tony dokoupil went there to learn about the product and the science behind it. good morning. >> good morning. we should point out that unlike

an easy cigarette, iqos uses sticks of real tobacco. warming them to below the temperature that produces smoke. that according to phillip morris can save lives. but critics worry that the primary goal is profit as traditional cigarette sales dry up. here we go. on our way to canada. >> reporter: on a hip street in toronto, phillip morris is building what it says is the future of tobacco. this is an iqos boutique, one of many now open in about 30 countries where philip morris promises to quit traditional cigarettes and sell iqos instead. they did not accept our request for an interview or a demonstration of iqos.

>>. [ indiscernbling ] >> reporter: we came here to experience the sales process ourselves. over the sounds of the noisy espresso machine, we heard iqos pitched as cleaner than traditional cigarettes. in a statement to "cbs this morning," phillip morris international said our goal is to convert every adult smoker who would otherwise keep smoking to smoke-free products such as iqos. they're also not risk-free. what they do in their application is if smokers converted to iqos -- >> but they would get hooked. >> he worries it might drive people back to cigarettes. >> what concerns me, i think, is this looks like a cigarette and reminds you of a cigarette, and we know if you get reminded of cigarettes and you're trying to

quit, it's a high-risk situation. it makes you want to go back to smoking. >> reporter: leventhal is an expert on smoking and his health. >> i'd better turn this off. i'm worried about my -- >> you're gin winnie worried? >> yeah. >> reporter: the american cancer society cautions most of the research on iqos has been funded by philip morris. an independent study reports that the physical effects on users is not yet known. >> you have air here. over here you have some sort of toxic gas. and then you have cigarettes, then probably somewhere in the middle heat, not burned product, like iqos and dow here electronic cigarettes. >> reporter: phillip morris welcomes independent studies and encourages third parties to conduct their own research.

some american smokers like indiana resident amy lang is not waiting for them to rule on iqos. >> what i knew back in 2013 is cigarettes were going the kill me. >> reporter: she's now a seller of e-cigarettes and a smoke-free advocate who makes special trips to london for purchases of iqos. >> they say, what happens to phillip morris, they've lied in the past. of course, they have. but what happens to my body compared to smoking combustible cigarettes, there's no question that i feel 100% better. >> reporter: the fda's preliminary report found. phillip morris has two separate applications before the fda. today's issue is whether iqos can be marketed as a reduced harm product.

wall street expects it to be approved as soon as next month. >> it's sort of interesting to look at it. it looks so much like a cigarette. my mother died from a heart attack, i believe, from heavy smoking. what can we to do reduce it all together? >> if the claims are accurate, this stands to save millions of lives, but that is an if researchers are looking at. up next, a look at this morning's headlines. and president trump has already made a lasting impact on our nation's court. we'll look at how he's rapidly

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's wednesday, january 24th, 2018. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead, what we're learning about a meeting president trump had with one of his top law enforcement officials. plus, the risk of taking some herbal supplements. dr. tara narula will be here to talk about the potentially dangerous interactions with prescription medication. but first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. another small town in america is mourning the victims of a school shooting and asking why it happened. >> investigators including the fbi are trying to figure out why this student walked into his school and opened fire. >> what was going through your head while all of this was happening? >> terror. i was scared.

there were people running that were shot. the white house says the president is also eager to speak with special counsel something they believe would signal this is finally wrapping up. schumer argues that the president scuttled the deal they were crafting so he's scuttling his offer. >> many of the victims accuse michigan state university and usa gymnast micks of allowing the abuse to last for years. >> the trump administration is five months into a new afghan strategy, so far it's been unable to stop terrorists from killing american citizens and others in kabul. >> this morning i guess you heard the news, meryl streep was nominated for an academy award. [ applause ] yes. yeah. and then she was nominated for a second academy award for acting surprised that she was nominated for the first one. amazing. so convincing. >> i believed it. i believed it. >> i think you hope but you

never know. >> she deserved it. it was a terrific movie and terrific portrayal. >> we like all things meryl streep here. i'm gayle king with john dickerson and norah o'donnell. investigators are asking a 15-year-old suspect why he allegedly walked into his western kentucky high school and opened fire. the gunfire caused chaos as students began arriving at marshal county high school in benton, kentucky. two other 15-year-olds bailey holt and preston cope were killed. earlier we spoke to tristan klein who helped save one of his friends who was wounded. >> sadly you lost two of your classmates. nobody really knows or is talking about exactly what a possible motive could be. what are you hearing from your friends who were there on the scene? >> yeah, it's not -- i mean a lot of people aren't talking about it. we're trying to stick to the positives, you know, be together and just be there for the people that need us instead of really thinking about the whole shooter situation. we're going to have to end up forgiving him. >> tristan, you said you are

going to have to end up forgiving the shooter. tell me what you mean? >> well, you know, you got to -- somehow we will have to get over it. god is love and in perfect love there is no fear. so we'll get over it. eventually. it takes time. he was a person too. >> amazing. 14 other students were wounded and four more were hurt when they were trampled trying to get away. the suspect arrested at the scene and he has not been identified. a county attorney says the student will be charged with two counts of murder and multiple counts of attempted murder. probably in the next 48 hours. the plan is to try him as an adult. >> i'm always amazed when something this tragic happens and in the beginning people can think about forgiveness at this early, during the process of the grief. >> yeah. >> i marvel at that. >> grace is an amazing thing. >> it is. the special counsel in the russia investigation is close to questioning president trump.

robert mueller spoke last week with attorney general jeff sessions, the first known cabinet member to be interviewed. the president says he's not worried about that conversation. cbs news confirms mueller also interviewed fired fbi director james comey. paula reid is outside fbi headquarters in washington. paula, good morning. the fact that the special counsel is ready to interview president trump, does that suggest this investigation could be wrapping up? >> that's what the white house would like to have us believe, but the fact is, every witness the special counsel talks to, every piece of evidence they receive, it opens up new questions, new lines of inquiries so you never know how long something like this is going to go. but even if it does wrap up in the next few months the fact is, the two people we have going to trial that won't happen until the fall. so the russia investigation will continue to hang over this white house through the rest of the year. >> and paula, this questioning is about obstruction, which is a slightly separate from the russia investigation. the white house has said the president is not under investigation or they have said

this. if he is questioned, does that change whether he is under investigation or is there a distinction there? >> look, not everyone who is questioned by the special counsel is under investigation. in fact, most of them are just providing evidence and sharing what they know. when it comes to the president, we know we have confirmed that special counsel robert mueller is looking into possible obstruction of justice by the president, so saying the president is not under investigation, that's just spin. >> paula, it's being reported that president trump asked then acting fbi director andrew mccabe who he voted for when he was talking to him in the oval office. why would that be significant? >> it's incredibly significant because the fbi is supposed to be a nonpartisan organization and as i just said, the special counsel is looking into possible obstruction of justice in the firing of james comey and this purported loyalty pledge that the president asked for from comey. if he's asking the number two at the fbi who he voted for that is going to be a significant interest to robert mueller and he will have to decide is that

evidence of obstruction of justice or just bad manner. >> paula, thanks for taking that up for us. president trump is making a huge impact on the nation's courts one year into his term. with help from republicans in the senate, the president won confirmation for 23 federal judges including a supreme court justice, 12 circuit court judges and 10 district court judges. that one-year total is far more than the number president obama appointed at this point in his presidency. jan crawford is outside the supreme court. jan, good morning. >> well, good morning john. you know supreme court nomination, i mean that can be a president's most lasting legacy. although president trump has had a contentious relationship at times with the federal judiciary he's already made a lasting impact. he's put one justice on the supreme court nearly two dozen judges on the lower courts and that is just in year one. when president trump nominated judge neil gorsuch to the supreme court. >> congratulations. >> reporter: he delivered on a

key campaign promise to replace the late justice antonin scalia with a solid conservative. >> you got to go for trump. supreme court justices. >> reporter: in 2016, 56% of republican voters said the supreme court was the most important factor in their support for donald trump. but the white house is also making its mark on the lower courts where the president is looking to fill 145 vacancies nationwide. >> what the president is doing with the courts is truly transformative. >> reporter: leonard leo an outside adviser to the president on judges and helps lead the conservative federalist society. >> these are people who believe in self-government, that most of the big issues in our country need to be decided by the people and their elected representatives. >> reporter: there have been missteps at the district court level. >> have you ever tried a jury trial? >> i have not. >> civil? >> no. >> reporter: two of the president's nominees were forced to withdraw over questions about their qualifications. on the appeals courts the new judges are highly credentialed conservative powerhouses what

you expect from a traditional republican president. democrats say it's not qualifications but their philosophy that could lead to a rollback of civil rights. >> an alarming trend of more and more extreme judicial candidates. >> we have seen president trump nominate people far outside of the judicial mainstream. >> the goal is not just to get a few ultraconservative judges on our federal courts. it is to capture the entire judicial branch. >> reporter: leo says the judicial battle shows elections have consequences. >> the president made it very clear the kinds of people he was going to nominate and that's what he's delivering. now with republicans in control of the senate filling those 145 vacancies is within reach, but if democrats take back the senate, that could complicate things, especially if another justice retires while president trump is still in office. gayle? >> always interesting. thank you very much, jan. illinois senator tammy duckworth will be the first u.s. senator to give birth while in office. she announced she is pregnant

with her second child. her colleagues congratulated her on senate floor yesterday. the 49-year-old retired army lieutenant colonel lost both her legs while serving in iraq. she gave birth to her first child abigail while a u.s. representative. duckworth is one of only 10 congress women to give birth in office. she wrote on twitter, i'm hardly alone or unique as a working parent and my daughter abigail has only made me more committed to doing my job and standing up for hard working families everywhere. her second child is due this spring and word is that when the baby is born, tammy duckworth will be 50 years old which i think is awesome. >> yeah. >> never seemed fair that men could have babies when 85 and women can't. not that we know women 58 that want a baby. nice to have an option. >> she's having a baby. >> a senate baby. >> that's a first. >> that will be something. >> babies always make news. >> i know. >> just saying. >> gayle wants know have a baby. >> i do. >> she has not --

>> but i have no say in the matter. i have no say in the matter. i love babies. >> she hasn't weighed in on whether i should have a baby or not and i'm -- >> i'm still getting to know you, john. just wait. >> i don't think that's an impediment, gayle. >> also true. >> but i'm 44 so hope springs eternal, right. >> that's what i'm saying to you. >> that's right. >> new research finds herbal supplements could be harmful when combined with prescription drugs. our dr. tara narula is in the toyota green room with the potential dangers especially when patients don't tell their physicians they take their supplements. we'll talk about that. also my husband i think probably fell off the treadmill. >> hello, mr. tracy. >> medic.

♪ a new study highlights potentially dangerous

interactions between herbal supplements and prescription medications. researchers looked at dozens of reports of serious drug interactions among patients with disorders like high blood pressure diabetes and cancer and herbal supplements may effect medication's effectiveness or have side effects. >> more than half of americans say they take dietary and herbal supplements including ginko biloba, ginseng, or st. john's wort. up to 1 in 4 adults report taking supplements and prescription drugs at the same time. and many don't ask their doctor if it's safe. our dr. tara narula is here with why the combination can be risky. good morning. >> good morning, john. >> what is the greatest risk here of this mixing or not telling your doctor at all? >> for most americans who are about to take their ginko biloba as you mentioned they're thinking it's to enhance their health, thinking it's natural, must be safe. they're not thinking about risk. but the fact of the matter is, that herbal supplements are farm logically active, biologically active so they can change your

blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, promote bleeding, so the idea that that could interact with medication also exists, meaning that if you're trying to treat a condition and now these herbal supplements have their own innate effects you may be working for or against the condition you're trying to treat. number two, through kind of how they effect the liver and the liver metabolism, they can altar the amount of drug in your system to make their levels higher of the prescription drug you're taking or lowerp. >> okay. let's get specific. what types of these supplements can affect -- >> we're talking about things like st. john's wort, ginko biloba, ginseng, cranberry, green tea. to give you an example if you're a cardiac patient taking coumadin and then taking an herbal supplement that could make the coumadin levels higher or lower in your system which means you may be more likely to bleed or that you may be more likely to clot. if you're taking a statin, may be more likely to have muscle

aches or pain. cancer patient on chemotherapy it may not be as effective the chemotherapy. antidepress thes may make you more depressed. >> that interaction for a lot of people, ginseng is very popular. >> yeah. >> these are things that people don't often think about. >> why do you think patients don't want to tell their doctors they're taking herbal supplements in the first place? >> this is such a big issue. i can't tell you -- 90% of the people i ask they tell me that they are taking some form of a supplement, but it's only when ski. if you look at the medication list and say what medications are you taking they don't bring it up. whether it's because they don't think that it's important or because they don't want to -- the doctor to tell them don't take that, i'm not sure, but the reality is it's important because you need that open dialog to discuss the pros and cons. >> any proven health benefits to taking these herbal supplements? >> we don't have the data to support it. we don't have the science. in this country we don't get educated in the medical profession about it. no doubt they there probably some benefits but weigh them with the risks. >> talk to your doctor.
