8:03 am
street, some of them u.s. residents who live in windsor who say it's not unusual to think about the queen toot willing around in her cart driving herself and they say she's a very good driver the 'the flag is up in windsor castle on the other side which says the queen is in residence. she arrived yesterday zbluft time for the big wedding and you know she's going to have the best seat in the house. at this time tomorrow, prince harry and mehgan markle will officially be married. we are all waiting to hear who would walk her down the aisle, and after meghan announced yesterday that they're father has some health issues and couldn't come to the service, the decision has been made, we now know that she asked harry's father, that's prince charles, and he said yes. we have also confirmed that in a break with tradition, and this is big, meghan markle will walk part way down the aisle alone before prince charles joins her. that is thought to be the first time that a royal bride has ever done that. roxanna is down below us in

windsor with the street-level look for the final preparations for the big day. roxanna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gayle. excitement is building here in the streets of windsor. people have been pouring into town, some of them are buying souvenirs like british and american flags, i got one here to take home with me. meghan markle mother's dore ya ragland is set to have tea with the queen today. she's going to meet her for the first time. they're expected also to be with meghan and prince harry the 'meg han's mom already met prince charles and william on thursday in what has been a whirlwind week leading up to the wedding. there's a massive police presence here in windsor to secure the town and barriers have been set up to prevent vehicle attacks. they're expecting more than 100,000 people here tomorrow. the security is expected to cost more than it did than william and kate's wedding seven years ago because windsor is a more difficult place to secure. people are asking people not throw confetti at the carriage
8:05 am
ride on saturday. they say it's a potential security risk and also, quote, a bit of a pain to clean up. gayle. >> all right. roxanna, thank you very much. we're joined now by cbs news contributor tina brown. you covered the royal family extensively. >> my fifth wedding. >> this is your fifth royal wedding. who what you make of this latest news that prince charles is going to walk meghan down the aisle? >> i think it's a good decision. i never thought her mother dwo that. she's just flown in, these the only member of the family, too much burden for her. i think it's gallant that prince charles do that and she'll look great. >> doesn't it show how much they've embraced her too? >> think it's gracious for him do that particularly with all the dramas with the family for meghan and for harry. >> people were concerned about meghan to make sure nothing spoils her day.
8:06 am
the statement she released yesterday about her father not attending for health concerns and health reasons, what did you make of that statement? >> i honestly think that her father has not been wanting to handle this. i think he's found it all just too much and i think it's very sad. i think the man is really overwhelmed with what's happening to him. unfortunately, the royals have a history of not being very good at preparing other people for the massive spotlight of entering the family and i think one of the things that harry loves about meghan, frankly, is that because she's an actress, because she's a star there is not phasing her. he got very tired of all those exgirlfriends saying i can't handle this, you know. >> yes. >> which i from hair point of have you view. but his point of view you may not be able to handle it but it's my life and you have to be able to handle it, and she can. >> and we heard something new that meghan going to talk at the reception and that's something that also is not done. >> it hasn't happened before at a royal wedding but i think it's good. i think she's already breaking with that mold that says a wife has to be in the background.
8:07 am
she's not going to be in the background and she say woman of independence. she's 36. she's a person with a career and her life. >> she's a grown up. >> yes. she's not just going to stand there, she's going to say something. >> give us your take on how dianeal be honored at the service. because you interviewed her, you knew diana. what's your take on that? >> harry has made it clear that he wants to see his mother as part of this whole thing he's gets married because there was such an attempt to shoe her out of t -- shu her out of way to mr. years. he's bringing it back. her engagement ring she had two diamonds that belonged to diana. she's going to have the white roses that were diana's favorite roses. and of course her sister, lady jane fellows is going to be reading, which is another way to include the family. there's a real sense that diane is is with what harry said this crazy journey we're about to embark on. >> is this energy different to you? this is my first royal wedding. i haven't covered five, but i am
8:08 am
so taken with the energy in this town and how -- and the love that people feel for this couple. >> it's interesting about how these royal weddings bring england together in this fantastic way and they happen at times when england's been depressed the when diana got married they came out of bad time strikes and so on and it was a moment of uplift. same thing after the depp deep recession we had william and kate. and now after brexit where everyone's been bummed out about the shaky government, now we have this great wedding and everyone's very happy. >> it feels very, very special. thank you, tina brown. we'll see you tomorrow of course. >> thank you. >> meghan markle is the first american to get married in historic saint george's chapel. ahoed, we're going to take signed the chapel where about 600 people received invitations to watch meghan markle and prince hair kpri change their

8:11 am
this is a cbs news special report. we are following reports that multiple people have been killed in another school shooting this time in texas. officials in santa fe, a small city outside houston say there are confirmed injuries at santa fe high school and the suspected shooter has been arrested. khou is eight people have died. the gunman opened fire in a classroom and students then fled the scene. >> i was scared for her. i didn't know what to think. i shun ouldn't be going through this at my school. this is my daily life.
8:12 am
i shouldn't have to feel like that. i don't want to go back. it's just not something that you should feel throughout the day, being scared, especially somewhere where we say the pledge of allegiance. i don't know, i shouldn't feel like this. i heard about my friend got shot in the art hall. as soon as the alarms went off, everybody started running outside. the next thing you know everybody looks and you hear, boom, boom, boom, and i just ran as fast as i could to the nearest floor so i could hide and i called my mom. >> cbs news law enforcement paul viola joins us now. the situation is very much in the unfolding stages. give us a sense what's going on. >> the first thing now, jim, the word containment. that's what law enforcement has to do and what they've done so far. they verified there was only one shooter, which is very important on a large campus. they verified there was one
8:13 am
shooter and secured and contained the shooter. the next part is to make sure everyone who needs medical attention gets it and gets it immediately. that triage part is working. the third part has multiple players. you have local law enforcement that will take the lead. then you have the fbi you have atf, and other federal agencies brought in on this that will work together so they set up a command center to communicate. the law enforcement community, sadly, is becoming all too far with how to deal with these things. you say the first thing you try to do is determine how many shooters. in this case it appears just one? >> just one. >> and that's critical. >> that's critical. jim, when we have a campus this large, you can't rule out there's a second shooter. what we saw in parkland, and a lot of folks saw this as we covered parkland, the shooter actually left the campus and appeared as a victim, one of the students. it's important to verify we only have one shooter. they've done that and contained the scene. >> stay with us, our law
8:14 am
enforcement analyst. joining us now on the phone we have a student at the school named damon. damon, are you there? >> yes, sir. >> i'm told you were in a classroom one door away from the shooting. what can you tell us happened? >> it was first period. we were doing notes like we normally do and we heard a loud banging noise. at first there was one banging noise. we thought something fell. so the teacher of my classroom actually walked to the hallway and i followed behind them. we heard five more bangs and a kid came out had a black trench coat off, a sawed off shotgun with a pistol grip and something sharp on his chest. and then he turned and instead of looking our way he grabbed the backpack and went back in the art room. at the time we knew it was an active shooter. we turned and shut the door, turned off all the lights, did everything we could to get the students safe, my fellow classmates, and the teacher ran and pulled the fire alarm
8:15 am
because we had no service to call 911 to let anyone know there was a shooter because our wing is completely almost separate from the rest of the school. he pulled the fire alarm to let everyone know, get out of the school. i guess once all the students got out of the school and heard the shots, they all took off running. >> damon, let me stop you there for a second. you did see someone you described as wearing a trench coat with a sawed off shotgun. is this anybody you recognized from campus? >> i'm being told from my description i gave there was a kid named dmitri, i do not know. >> is this a student? >> yes, sir. >> let me circle back for a second. you've had active shooter drills before? >> yes, sir. we had two this year and we had one like where we thought there was an actual shooter. we played it how it was supposed to be played. >> the way everything unfolded
8:16 am
just this morning was obviously something you had almost rehearsed for. >> oh, yes, sir. >> so did you think at all this was perhaps another rehearsal or did you know you were in it? >> at first we didn't think nothing of it. we thought someone was banging on the shop door because it was such a loud just banging, rattling noise. when we went in the hallway and heard it five or six more times we knew right away it was definitely a gun and we could smell the gun smoke and it was very, very loud. i guess it was echoing through the halls. we ran back to our class the way we were trained, we barricaded the door, we had everyone sit in the corner where you could not see -- if the shooter would look in the glass, wouldn't see anything. that's exactly what we did. he walked by and we could hear the shots -- i would say he probably shot 15 to 20 times, in
8:17 am
that area, and the whole time you could hear -- >> damon, did you see people who had been hit? >> no, sir, i did not am we stayed in the room until the cops knocked on our door, the santa fe police department. >> can you describe for me while you were all locked down in that classroom -- help us understand what that feels like. >> oh, man. everyone was crying and freaking out. the substitute teacher was trying to calm everyone down. we didn't want the shooter to hear us, to know there were students in the classroom. we did pull the fire alarm so lights were flashing and you could hear the gunshots and it was complete chaos in the room for a good five minutes until everything -- we got everyone quieted down, every shot was just nerve-racking. it was scary. >> damon, i want to stress right now that everything is unconfirmed at this point, but
8:18 am
can you share with us what your understanding is of how many people have been hurt and if there have been any fatalities? >> from my understanding, i'm not going to say anything i don't know. i talked to someone who was actually in the classroom and he said he sat there and watched three of his fellow students get murdered. that was his words, not mine. i'm relaying what he said. he was actually in the classroom. he said the shooter walked out of the room. >> i understand. you sound remarkably composed for being able to have been through something like this just over the last several hours. from what you're seeing and from who you're talking with in terms of friends, give me a sense right now of what is running through everybody's head. >> just -- of course we hear about this stuff all across the
8:19 am
united states of america. the shootings and people going into the school. everyone thinks that's not going to happen here. everyone is probably in complete shock from my understanding. it really is at a loss for words. someone to come into a high school and shoot unarmed stuns, i'm at a loss for words, sir. >> i understand. i totally understand. just let me ask you about what is happening in terms of students, kids, being reunited with their parents right now. >> we were the last actual class to get escorted out of the school because we pulled the fire alarm so the whole rest of the school, they all left. they took off and were running to the trees and the highway and they all left. we were one of the only classes to actually get escorted out. we got escorted out and we had our hands up and they patted us down, took our names and bussed us over to the junior high and
8:20 am
our parents came and signed us out. >> okay. damon, listen, i'm sure the last thing you want to be doing right now is talking on the phone, so let me just say thank you very much for you taking time to let us know about the situation that is unfolding in santa fe, texas. >> yes, sir. everyone is in my prayers. have a great day. >> back to paul viola. you were listening to all of that. >> right. >> what stuck out to you in terms of what you're hearing? you almost jumped out of your chair with you heard about the fire alarm. >> i really don't understand that because i can't imagine they were taught to pull the fire alarm. now if a student did it and the student did it because it was a reaction, then that's understandable. but if a teacher did it, that would concern me. the reason why because when you have an incident like this, it's so fluid, you have to also remember, too, these incidents don't last longer than seven or eight minutes. you want to contain these quickly. if you pull the fire alarm you are in essence putting everybody
8:21 am
could be running into the shooter. the parkland shooter pulled it for that to happen. >> please stay with us. cbs news now can confirm that according to law enforcement at santa fe, texas, eight people have been killed in this morning's school shooting. coverage will continue throughout the day on your local news, on this cbs station, and on our 24-hour streaming network, cbsn. there will be a full wrapup tonight on the "cbs evening news" with jeff glor. many of you will return to "cbs this morning." i'm jim axelrod, cbs news, new york.

8:39 am
lives and to put it back together again. and he came one this idea of a big international sports competition. i had just fun nishd doing the london games and he asked if i'd help him put it together. >> did you know what it was about when they said would you like to meet prince harry? >> generally when you get a call from the palace they dwunt something. >> but this is what harry said about you. he said when you're planning something make sure you've either got sir keith mims with you or don't bother at all. so when you first heard about it, you just jumped at the opportunity, i would imagine. >> well, it was such an amazing cause and i went with prince hair troy one of the centers, recovery centers to watch these guys, and sport plays a huge part in their recovery. and the invictus games now has impacted thousands, tens of thousands of wounded guys across the world. >> how was it having meghan there in toronto and how did that affect and change the atmosphere?

>> it's a bit challenging. >> why? >> because it was the first time that they'd been seen publicly together and -- >> had you met her before that? >> no. i met her subsequently but i hadn't met her before that. and when -- when you run something like a big sports competition, you want the spotlight to be on the competitors, on the guys that have served their country, have been wound and are now competing in front of millions of people. and one of the concerns that prince harry had, we all certainly had was that the spotlight would go on them and not the competitors. as it happens, i think it worked out really well. the canadian games are fantastically successful and now we're getting ready for the next one. >> you're the only one standing here who knows prince harry personally. i'm curious about your thoughts about him because for a while he was considered party boy. i think he's long past that. how do you describe him as a man and a person? >> i think he has very strong values. in fact, you i think they both have strong values. those values are going to be important to them as they move
8:41 am
through their life. i think they both recognize they're in a very special privileged position and they want to use that to improve the lives of others. and the royal foundation, which i also chair for prince harry and for prince william takes on lots and lots of differential lenges. and over their lives that's going to be a very important part of what they do. >> sir, keith, we thank you for take the time joining us today. enjoy the day tomorrow. we'll be looking four in your morning suited. we'll be standing right here, wave when you go by. thank you so much. we're posting behind the scenes extras from here on london on social immediate yand make new friends along the way. and we'd love to take a look at how you're celebrating the big day tomorrow, so we ask you to share your photos. >> which will be very, very cool on cbs this morning's facebook, twitter, and instagram accounts with the hash tag royal this morning. join the party, yawl, it'all, i going to be fun. >> ahead, we'll get rare access
