house, police say the gunman was on foot, naked and heading back to his apartment where he apparently put on a pair of pants and then disappeared. here's what especially worries police. they believe he still has a hunting rifle and a hand gun. >> i just heard the gunshots, you know, right behind us. >> reporter: abede da sylva was eating breakfast early sunday morning when a gunman naked from the waist down walked in and opened fire. >> everybody ran, went into the bathroom and all i could think was, where's my brother. >> reporter: his younger brother akilah was one of the four people killed. >> he looked up to me but i looked up to him at the same time because he was real smart. he was a real good guy. never got in any trouble, none of that. >> a male, white, who has no clothing on, that's shooting at the location. >> reporter: just before 3:30 in the morning, travis reinking drove into the waffle house parking lot. he killed two people outside, then began shooting inside. >> he just wanted to spend his

ammunition once he got inside and there was a bunch of rapid fires until it went quiet. >> reporter: when reinking stopped to reload his weapon, customer james shaw jr. bull rushed him and was injured wrestling it away. >> i saw the barrel of the machine gun or assault rifle aimed down that end i was, like, i got to go now. i said it's either now or never because he reloads it, then it's going to be real bad. >> reporter: without a gun and naked, reinking fled on foot. sending authorities on a citywide search. the 29-year-old has been on federal and local law enforcement's radar since last july when he was arrested by the secret service for entering a restricted area near the white house. four weapons registered to reinking were seized in that arrest, including the ar-15 used in the waffle house shooting. ultimately the seized firearms were returned to his father, who admitted giving them back to his son.
7:06 am
authorities in illinois say that reinking's father had promised them he would not return the confiscated weapons to his son but apparently did anyway. here in tennessee, authorities say there's nothing in state law that would prevent reinking from getting those guns back. as for james shaw, he was wounded, grazed, in his elbow by a gunshot. he also burned his hand grabbing the hot barrel of the ar-15 but says he's no hero. >> when is the first time you realized something is wrong? >> when i saw the -- probably the third shot -- third or fourth shot and i saw the waffle house staff go like this, like they literally dropped and separate. and then i turned around and saw a guy on the ground. and then i was, like, oh, my. >> so what did you do? >> i grabbed him and i grabbed the gun. i started hitting and punching and doing anything i could to get the gun ajar. just kind of grabbed it.

7:08 am
he has explaining to do. i saw an interview with james saw saying he has a 4-year-old daughter and he kept thinking about her too. >> he said, if i was going to die, he was going to have to work for it. afterwards, he said he wanted to get in touch with the families of the victims, make sure they were okay. >> thank you, mr. shaw. >> terrible story. now this, president trump will welcome french president emmanuel macron to the u.s. today. they plan to discuss the iran nuclear agreement which mr. trump is thinking of scrapping. macron, who supports the iran deal, said yesterday the u.s. needs allies and france can be one. major garrett is at the white house where officials are also working on a potential summit with north korea. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in that context, the white house knows north korea will tempt it with small concessions in hopes of winning big economic benefits from america. that is, after all, the north korean playbook. it has worked in the past. the big question here this weekend, how big were pyongyang's nuclear concessions? well, the answer here and from
7:09 am
top republicans in congress not nearly big enough. >> very good. looks very good. >> reporter: president trump sounded hopeful after leaving from a week at mar-a-lago. that followed an overly optimistic tweet suggesting north korea, quote, agreed to denuclearization. the north has done no such thing. but that is the white house goal. pyongyang did agree to close its nuclear test site and suspend long-range ballistic missile tests. as both sides negotiate a potential summit in may or june. >> it's easily reversible decision. they made no announcement about their medium or short-range ballistic missiles. >> reporter: republicans say they are skeptical north korea is ready to abandon nuclear weapons. >> this is a great public relations effort by kim jong-un. >> reporter: summit preparations coincide with a may deadline to renew the 2015 iran nuclear deal that president trump has threatened to abandon. a move that could allow iran to
7:10 am
restart its pursuit of nuclear weapons. >> i do think he will move away from the agreement on may 12. >> reporter: if that happens, iranian foreign minister mohammed jarrad zarif said on "face the nation" iran is ready to resume its nuclear program. >> if the benefits of the deal for iran start to diminish then there is no reason for iran to remain in the deal. >> reporter: french president macron said the agreement, while flawed, has real security advantages. >> it's for nuclear, what do you have as a better option? >> reporter: macron, set to meet with the president this week, could sway mr. trump's iran decision. >> both of us are probably the maverick of the system. >>ter: france, germany and great britain all want the united states to stay in the iran nuclear deal. that means changing president trump's mind. to do that, the three countries are looking to add side agreements to make the deal tougher on iran. after president macron leaves, german chancellor angela merkel
7:11 am
comes to the white house for a working visit later this week. the part of the germany/france tag team to change the president's mind and preserve, if possible, the iran nuclear deal. meanwhile, it was a crazy busy week for the president on twitter, weekend, rather, for the president on twitter. a record number of tweets for this calendar year. we must acknowledge it's only april. >> many months to go. he had a lot to say this weekend. thank you very much, major. embattled epa administrator scott pruitt faces new ethics questions this morning. cbs news has obtained e-mails indicating pruitt met with top washington lobbyist steven hart while pruitt was renting a condo from hart's wife. that could be a violation of federal ethics laws. julianna goldman is at the white house with more on this story. julian julianna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. pruitt and hart have both denied doing any business with each other but those e-mails leave room for interpretation. as they show a washington lobbyist going to bat for

7:13 am
>> reporter: earlier this month, claiming hart hasn't lobbied for the epa. but then he lobbied for smithfield foods in the first quarter of this year. announcing his early retirement as the firm's chairman. >> is draining the swamp renting an apartment from the wife of a washington lobbyist? >> i don't think that that's even remotely fair to ask that question. >> reporter: until last july, pruitt was renting a condo from hart's wife, paying $50 per night. the deal is one of more than half a dozen federal inquiries into pruitt's time at the epa, some of which are also looking into the $43,000 the epa spent to build a secure phone booth in pruitt's office. e-mails obtained by cbs news show that career officials at the epa who oversaw the funding and construction of the phone booth, said they were acting on behalf of political appointees and security staff. now, smithfield is distancing itself from the controversy, saying last year's meeting with pruitt was not at the company's request. as for hart, he told "the washington post" that he was --
7:14 am
that he had assisted a friend on the chesapeake bay commission and this is inaccurately being tied to smithfield foods. the epa has not responded to our request for comment, norah. >> incredible details there, julianna, thank you. a chicago white sox pit pitcher is hospitalized in critical but stable condition this morning after suffer ago brain hemorrhage in the middle of a game. medical staff rushed in to the dugout to help 31-year-old danny farquhar after he passed out on friday. dean reynolds is outside the ballpark in chicago where it all happened. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the white sox will host the seattle mariners here tonight but it's what happened on friday night that is still reverberating. a stark reminder of the fragility of life that makes a mere baseball game shrink into insignificance. >> call to the pen is danny farquhar. >> reporter: as he took the mound against the astros friday night there was no sign of
7:15 am
trouble. >> still hadn't given up a hit to a lefty. >> reporter: the 31-year-old threw 15 pitches to retire the side in the sixth inning. but moments later, he collapsed in the dugout. >> something did happen with danny farquhar. i don't know anything more than that but they did take him away. >> reporter: white sox medical staff can be seen running to farquhar's aid before he was rushed to the hospital. >> we certainly hope danny's okay. >> he just pitched and then laying on the ground. >> reporter: the tests showed he suffered a brain hemorrhage caused by a ruptured brain aneurysm. >> a brain aneurysm can rupture without any warning. >> reporter: neurosurgeon says about a third of those affected never make it to the hospital. >> if the aftereffects from the brain aneurysm are well treated, there are very lucky people who come away with this and live normal lives. >> reporter: over the weekend, teammates honored farquhar by hanging his jersey in the bull
7:16 am
pen and writing his initials and number on their caps. farquhar's unexpected hospitalization is being felt across major league baseball with teams and players tweeting out their support. >> nothing really matters baseballwise when something like that happens, you know. he's such a resilient human being and we're praying for him. >> reporter: now, danny farquhar is married and he has three small children. over the weekend, he reportedly underwent two surgeries to reduce swelling around his brain and is expected he will remain hospitalized here for at least three more weeks. >> dean, thank you. we all just want him to be okay. thinking of him today. we've got breaking news from london and it's good. prince william and his wife kate are parents of a new baby boy. the duchess delivered her third child this morning. we are outside st. mary's hospital. roxana, what have you heard? good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, according to that tweet

7:18 am
it's also where william and kate introduced prince george to the world in 2013. and it's where the young prince returned nearly two years later to meet his new baby sister charlotte. like all royal babies, the latest addition can expect to melt hearts and make headlines when seen by the public. so where will kate and william's third child stand in line to the throne? prince charles is first in line. then his son prince william. prince george is third. and princess charlotte fourth. the new arrival is fifth in line. prince william's brother harry will now be sixth. but he didn't seem to mind being demoted when asked in 2014 not long before charlotte was born. >> of course with that growing family, your prospect of becoming king is reduced, isn't it? >> great. >> reporter: we may not know the baby's name for a couple of days but odds are that his name could be arthur or albert, which would be the name of the current queen's father. john.

8:08 am
term, this is becoming a bigger opportunity. >> so that's interesting. but there is this red line of, do they have a nuclear program or not? the administration has said they don't want them to have any nuclear programs. can he do the 5% end zone dance if the nuclear program is still in existinence any form? >> i think trump has said a lot of things that he's changed his mind on if it becomes politically expedeient. the israel/palestine peace plan is one he and jared were going to do. i haven't heard them discuss that because they've tilted toward north korea. this is now the priority and kim jong-un is playing a little ball with them. the summit is going to happen. pompeo was over there. he didn't make any demands of the north koreans, which is another thing you see that they really don't want to make it uncomfortable. make it easy for kim jong-un to come to this meeting and announce they've done something no other president has done. sit down with kim jong-un. that's a big deal. trump deserves a win for it.

home. >> we all learned something. especially mike. this former cop, to talk about him feeling like he's dying and the anxiety he faces. this disease places such a burden on caregivers, too. >> yeah. i think that's the big message for everybody and certainly for me. i've had patients with alzheimer's, persons with alzheimer's sit across the desk from me. they come back. but that's different from me being in the home. over the years you see mike, it was so sweet the way he's combing her hair, putting makeup on her, making the bed. i can handle this. i'm not going to put her in a nursing home. it turns out, you can't do it alone. that's such a huge message for people. >> thirteen years. is that a typical chore? >> it isn't. i spoke to her doctor, who was amazing. she's almost partly cloudy like a friend to them over the years. she said it's really early on set alzheimer's. she got symptoms probably in her late 50s. 95% of people with alzheimer's
8:37 am
develop symptoms after 65. this is longer. she's had it for more than a decade. symptoms probably closer to 15, 17 years. there's a spectrum. the alzheimer's association will say average survival is four to eight years but a big spectrum, go 20 years and lots of different forms of it. >> a lot of people watching it are looking at that couple and saying that's my biggest fear right there. when you know there's no cure, no drug, do you see anything promising in the research? >> i do. i am an optimist. i know there's no cure. one of the big discoveries has been the pathologic changes inside the brain start 10, 20, 30 or more years before the symptoms. so what we've been doing right now with the medicines we're giving is maybe the equivalent of giving somebody lipitor after they had five heart attacks and they are in heart failure. it's way too late. a lot of work is going into diagnosing people early before they have symptoms. maybe those medicines that aren't working now would work
8:38 am
then and maybe new medicines. >> how much of alzheimer's is preventible or dementia preventible. >> people get confused. dementia is the big level. under that the most common cause is alzheimer's. about a third of difficultmentia has a component of vascular dementia. tiny blood vessels, a little stroke here, there, the brain tissue gets knocked off. you may not have physical symptoms but it diminishes your ability to think. we say what's good for the heart is good for the head. if people want to do something now, you should make sure your blood pressure is okay. your weight is right, lipids are good. you're exercising, eating right. you're the correct weight. social interaction is so important. that's really important. >> it's so rare, john, that you or anybody gets to follow anybody for 10 years. so i'm curious about what you learned from this particular couple. you mentioned this was not the first time you dealt with people who have alzheimer's. what did you learn from them? >> it really was an emotional and gut wrenching journey for me. >> i bet.
8:39 am
>> because i'm sitting there with them, and you have the journalist and you have the physician and you have the person. sometimes there's friction there. my mantra is the hippocratic oath always trumps the nielson ratings. when you have these moments, and you saw it in the piece, i'm sitting there in january when i went back with "60 minutes," he said, i got so bad a few months ago, i thought of putting a gun to my head. that really knocked the air out of me. when we went off camera, now i'm clicking into doctor mode. i had to really make sure that he wasn't suicidal. he said he wasn't. i made sure his doctor knew about that. there's this kind of overlap between these different hats i wear. >> he gave new meaning to for better or worse. pthat was it right there. >> dr. jon lapook, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> today on cbs podcast, a closer look at the future of
