including 8-month-old twins. they belong to a breakaway group once associated with the mormon church. mark strassmann is in mexico city. mark, what can you tell us about the person who's been detained? >> reporter: in the same area as the massacre, police arrested someone driving a car that carried four assault rifles and two bound captives, and the prosecutor there says he's looking into whether there's any connection between that person and the massacre. mexican authorities say this family may have been mistakenly caught up in a cross fire between rival drug gangs, but our sources say it's more likely they were targeted, and here's why. these attacks were drawn out over time and distance and continued even after witnesses say one victim identified herself. these survivors, all of them children, were taken to an arizona hospital. >> hey, little baby. >> reporter: after the deadly ambush in mexico that left nine of their family dead, three mothers and six children.

>> anita and four of my grandchildren are burnt and shot up. >> reporter: this is the smoldering aftermath of the massacre. >> three vehicles with women and children in broad daylight. there was no mistaken identity. >> reporter: taylor langford is the nephew of one of the women killed. he and other family members strongly suspect the ambush targeted them. >> no one could have gone and done that without knowing what they were doing. >> reporter: among the dead, 30-year-old rhonita miller and her children, 12-year-old howard jr., 10-year-old krystal and 8-month-old twins titus and tan tiana. the cars exploded and ten miles down the road, dawna langford and trevor and 2-year-old rogan were killed. yards away, 29-year-old christina langford johnson hid her baby on the floorboards by the back seat. officials say she got out with her hands up but was shot down

in cold blood. her baby, 7-month-old faith, was found 11 hours later, unharmed. but amid the chaos, 13-year-old devon langford was able to hide six of his injured brothers and sisters in a nearby bush and covered them with branches. he walked 14 miles for help. a relative says when he took too long to return, his 9-year-old sister, mckenzie, then left her siblings behind, walking for hours in the dark before she was found. some of the surviving children air-lifted from the scene were brought to tucson for treatment. 8-year-old cody shot in the jaw and leg, 14-year-old kylie shot in the foot, 4-year-old xander shot in the back, and 8-month-old brixton shot in the chest. on twitter, president trump offered condolences and military muscle. "this is the time for mexico, with the help of the united states, to wage war on the drug cartels."

mexico's president lopez obrador declined the offer, saying it's an issue for his country to address independently. drug violence is widespread here in mexico, but these attacks stand out for a new reason -- these drug cartels are increasingly indifferent whether children are caught in the cross fire. these assaults were also relentless. at one crime scene, more than 200 shell casings were recovered, most of them from assault rifles. >> boy, mark, relentless, evil, gut-wrenching, all -- i can't even think of a superlative to really explain this. i still can't stop thinking about this. first you hear about 8-month-old twins. that's bad enough. >> yes. >> then you hear about the little 14-year-old boy who walked for -- 13-year-old boy who walked 14 miles to get help for his siblings. >> and then his little sister, 9 years old, walking in the dark. >> it was a slaughter, as some people said. >> there's still more to this story. mark strassmann in mexico city, we thank you again. next hour, a closer look at the extended american family that we've been talking about

involved in this attack. how did they come to call mexico home in the first place and their history of run-ins with the drug cartels. now let's get to those election results overnight. this morning democrats are claiming a significant election day prize in kentucky. state attorney general andy beshear says he defeated republican governor matt bevin. the race is officially too close to call, but beshear leads by about 5,000 votes. president trump had campaigned for bevin the night before the electi election. democrats also took control of the virginia legislature yesterday, promising big changes in that state. ed o'keefe is covering campaign 2020 for us, so ed, good morning. what do these results show us? >> good morning, tony. republicans were able to hold onto the governorshi in mississippi. tuesday night's other results in state and local elections show the ongoing collapse of the republican party in the nation's suburbs that we saw in last year's elections. and while all politics is ultimately local, there's no denying that president trump had at least some effect on the results. that could spell big trouble for him and republicans going into

the 2020 elections. >> voters in kentucky sent a message loud and clear for everyone to hear. >> reporter: democrat andy beshear claimed victory tuesday night, but republican governor matt bevin wasn't ready to throw in the towel. >> we are not conceding this race by any stretch. >> reporter: bevin ranked this year as one of the most unpopular governors in the country amid criticism of his push to revamp kentucky's education and medicaid policy. >> my wife is a retired teacher. he's trying to take away her insurance. >> reporter: president trump won kentucky by 30 points in 2016, and bevin leaned on him to help turn out republicans. >> he's been incredible. >> reporter: at a rally on monday night, mr. trump seemed aware what was at stake for him. >> and if you lose, think about it, they'll say trump suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the world. this was the greatest. you can't let that happen to me! >> reporter: in a statement last night, the trump campaign said the president just about dragged governor matt bevin across the finish line.

a final outcome remains to be seen. despite bevin, republicans did win every other statewide race in kentucky, including daniel cameron, who became the first republican elected attorney general in 70 years and the first african-american to win the job. >> let's continue the success of this party as we move forward into this next decade. >> reporter: in virginia, where mr. trump isn't popular, democrats took full control of the state legislature, despite scandals this year that involve the top three democrats in the state. one democrat who helped them take control is shelly symonds. nearly two years, she lost after a tie was decided by drawing a name from a bowl. but this time, she soundly beat the incumbent republican. >> we can make a change, but it takes people coming out to vote. >> the results in virginia mean democrats can now try to pass stricter gun control in the wake of the mass shooting in virginia beach earlier this year, and in kentucky there's no mandatory recount law, so the governor can request counties check their

results, but he'd need to win a court's approval for a full recount. >> all right, ed. we're heading into a presidential election year, so what are democrats and republicans likely to take away from yesterday's results? >> well, look there was something for everybody, tony. the fact that republicans won every other statewide race in kentucky and held on to mississippi is a good sign, but clearly, they're struggling in the suburbs. you look at even local elections in the philadelphia suburbs this morning, for example, and they're in real trouble. as for the democrats, they'll celebrate these wins, but look at the kind of democrat who won, moderates who are pushing middle of the road ideas, and democrats probably would be wise to watch in the next year to see how easy it might be or how hard it could be to implement those campaign promises like stricter gun control and raising the minimum wage. all of that could have an effect, of course, on whether or not the democrats win the presidency in congress. >> very interesting and very fine line, ed. thank you very much. one of president trump's most supportive witnesses in the impeachment inquiry has changed his testimony to confirm a quid pro quo with ukraine. the ambassador to the european

union, gordon sondland, now tells lawmakers that the trump administration held up military aid as it pushed ukraine's government to investigate democrats, including the biden family. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, just how significant is this reversal? >> reporter: well, anthony, it means that ambassador sondland has now become at least the fifth witness in this probe to testify to some sort of quid pro quo. he amended his earlier testimony in which he had downplayed his own role after several other witnesses contradicted him. >> it's never too late to do the right thing. >> reporter: democrats applauded sondland for amending his testimony to say that he does now recall telling a ukrainian official that aid would likely not occur until ukraine provided a public anticorruption statement, specifically, reopening the investigation into burisma, the energy company that employed the son of mr. trump's

campaign rival, joe biden. >> the state department was being politicized by the president in essentially being turned into an instrument of his re-election campaign. >> reporter: even in his original testimony, sondland told lawmakers that the pressure campaign led by the president's lawyer, rudy giuliani, kept getting more insidious as time went on, hardly the exoneration the white house and republicans had claimed. this is what they said back then. >> i think it was very clear, no quid pro quo multiple times. >> go look at what gordon sondland said today in his testimony. >> reporter: now republicans are downplaying sondland's role. >> you're wanting to focus on ambassador sondland instead of focusing on ambassador volker, who was the ukrainian envoy. >> reporter: but volker, whose testimony was released, too, described the president's demand for dirt on biden as "extremely unfortunate for our policy with ukraine." still, senate leader mitch mcconnell suggested that wasn't enough to merit impeachment.

>> if it were today, i don't think there's any question, it would not lead to a removal. >> reporter: all signs point to public hearings starting some time next week and lasting up until thanksgiving break. that would set up, democrats hope, a vote on actual articles of impeachment sometime before primary season officially gets under way early next year. gayle? >> all right, nancy. thank you. a florida sheriff's deputy is out of jail on bond this morning after a shocking video showed him slamming a teenage girl to the ground. surveillance footage caught 38-year-old school resource officer willard miller man handling the 15-year-old girl at a school for children with special needs. he is charged with one count of felony child abuse without great bodily harm. he's now been suspended without pay. mola lenghi is across the street from cross creek school in pompano beach, florida.

mola, this video is very tough to watch. what more do we know about this story? >> reporter: well, yeah, good morning, gayle. the incident happened here back in september here at this school, as you mentioned, for students with behavioral and emotional issues. now, because the video is silent, we can't hear exactly what was said in the room, but while this investigation is ongoing, the broward county sheriff says that the officer's actions were unacceptable. just after 2:00 p.m. on september 25th, school surveillance video shows a 15-year-old girl waiting inside an office with an officer and two other adults. you can see the student lightly kick the officer in the back of the knee, causing his leg to slightly buckle, but a minute later, the officer rushes over, grabs her around the neck and slams her to the ground. he then turns her over, puts his knee into her back and holds her hands behind her before throwing her into another room. >> the way the deputy responds, for whatever occurred, whatever type of verbal dialogue was

going on, it makes no sense and it wasn't necessary. >> reporter: school resource officers nationwide have come under increasing scrutiny for several recent excessive force claims involving young children. in new mexico, a resource officer resigned after body cam video from august showed him tackle an 11-year-old middle school student to the ground. and in september, an orlando officer was fired after he arrested two 6-year-olds at school. back in broward, the sheriff's department is focused on fixing its own problems. just this year, sheriff gregory tony fired this deputy for punching a handcuffed man in the hospital. and he suspended two deputies without pay for tackling and pepper spraying a 15-year-old boy at a mcdonald's parking lot. >> if i have to do this 15 more times, we're going to do it 15 more times until those small fraction of people out there and deputies who don't get it are held accountable and we're going to move them on. >> reporter: now, the broward county sheriff's office is conducting an internal

investigation before deciding what steps to take next with the officer in this latest incident, including possible termination. if convicted, deputy miller faces up to five years in prison, anthony. >> all right, mola, thank you. as hard as that video is to watch, it's good that we have it so we know what happened. >> but i applaud broward county. normally in those situations -- sometimes in those situations, officials say well, you haven't seen the whole tape, there's no report of the story. he's saying, what we just saw, whatever happened, it's unacceptable. >> my mother is a special education teacher. those jobs are full of tough calls, but that one in the tape was not a tough call. >> absolutely right. police have issued an arrest warrant in connection with the murder of a new hampshire couple found dead in texas. police are looking for 33-year-old adam williams, who is suspected of felony theft. he has not been accused of killing james and michelle butler. they were found in a shallow grave on padre island. their truck and rv trailer were driven over the southern border without them.

was at home in 19 the 6 with her fiancee, jimmy feormer police officer, before driving herself to work around 3:00 a.m. investigators said reed raped and strangled stites between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. and left her body in a remote area. reed was arrested after his dna was found on stites. from the beginning, he maintained his innocence. he claimed he and stites were having an affair and had consensual sex the day before her death. >> how many times did you two see each other? >> some weeks i would see her maybe once or twice a week. >> reporter: after the trial, forensic experts admitted to errors in the time of death and the innocent project says the murder weapon was never tested for dna. >> three forensic pathologists have come forward and said that this is actually impossible that rodney committed the crime. all of it exonerates mr. reed and points to jimmy fennell. >> reporter: fennell was initially a suspect in stites' murder, but his dna was not found on stites' body. his attorney, bob phillips, says his client is innocent. >> jimmy loved her. he was going to marry her in

they leave them vulnerable to. it's a cost thing w premiums and did habl deductibles going up, people look at the aca plans and stha is better than nothing. better than nothing, but if you have certain kinds of help nl conditions you didn't predict, you're totally vulnerable. >> so if you have a skinny plan and the plan didn't cover everything, what do do you. >> oh, my gosh. you're in bad position because basically you're vulnerable. it's a double whammy. you don't have the insurance to pay the for service but also you don't have the insurance negotiated rates which in this case, you know, the rack rate was $30,000. most insurers would have made $9,000. they gave her a 30% discount. great. she was uninsured. but that is still $20,000. >> how do you know you have a bad plan? i think she is thinking i have insurance. how do you know you have something bad? >> you know, every time i come

here i say buyer beware. right? you really, really have to know the limits of your plan. and, you know, yes, when you're in a mental health crisis, you need care. she's better now. it really wasn't an option to stay at home. so this is one of those situations where we leave patients in really untenable and unaffordable positions. >> great dr. elizabeth rosenthal, thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> for a full link, go to our website. the washington nationals are still celebrating their historic world series win as they should be. but the real mvp may be the kids song "baby shark." we'll talk with outfielder parra who picked the popular tune for his walkup song.

future, not the victims of someone else's. >> my body was evidence of a felony in 17 states until i was 6 years old. >> you introduced yourself and said when i was born my body was evidence of a crime. >> in 1962 until 1967 with loving v. virginia, whites could not marry black and i am clearly a woman of color and so when i was born, i'm listed as white on my birth certificate and when i was 7 my melanin came in and my biological grandmother gave my mother the choice of giving me up for adoption or banishing her from the family. she made the choice to put me into the foster care system. >> reporter: she never had a safe space and she was compelled to create one for others. >> we have to stand in solidarity with these young people and understand their lives are complicated. they're having drills at school about shooters. >> line up right now. >> reporter: so to see young people in this room have so much potential and all they're asking for is support, authentic

connection. >> reporter: these native american actors performed a play based on their experiences. it was so personal they asked us to only film the beginning. but their stories connected with this teenager. >> not seeing a native american play that connected with me a lot. >> does it help to be around people that have experienced that similar type of trauma to know you're not alone? >> yeah. you can talk to them and they understand. >> if you do not tells the truth no one tells you again. >> how important is it for you and people who look like you to be able to open up? >> it's a big thing a big deal. a lot of african-american males think it's not okay to have mental health issues or that's a white people thing. >> what are you walking around from here today with that you didn't have when you came through the door? >> probably more confidence to open up and talk to people. >> foster and healing. >> the event organizers tell us

they get about 50 to 60 calls a week from people across the country asking how they can put together similar youth cultural healing summits. there is clearly a willingness to bring people together and focus on well withness. it went well. they were satisfied with the turnout. it happened on a day where public schools were out so they had a real great turnout from people all across that area. >> it shows once again how important it is to show that you are not alone whatever you're going through, somebody else is going through it too. seems your voice held up. losing your voice. >> we got through it. >> very important. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. big gap in your resume does not have to be a dealbreaker when it comes to getting a new job. jesse is in our toyota green

this morning we're look at how you can turn a gap in your resume into an advantage in your career. it's part of our series with linkedin called "work in progre progress." reentering the job market after taking months off or even years off to care for a parent or raise a family can be very stressful. a recent study shows companies are now okay with interviewing job seekers who have been out of the work force for as long as two years. that marks a shift in attitudes toward work gaps.

linkedin's senior editor at large, jessi hempel, is here, good morning, welcome. >> good morning. >> why are employers' attitudes changing? >> there are two rinse. the first is -- two reasons much the first is the obvious. unemployment is historically low. recruiters need job candidates. but the second's more interesting, and it's that culture is changing. essentially, i mean, when my parents were looking for jobs, you were expected to leave work at work and home at home. in 2019, you blend the two. and in fact, employers are much more supportive of their employees and, in fact, their job candidates prioritizing life outside of work. >> how do you turn the gap in your resume to an advantage? >> that is the question people have been talking about on linkedin. one woman had a great piece of advice. she said, you need a plan. you need to go into the interview with a story. and when i say story, i don't mean a confessional. that's not what a job interview is. just be able to explain it concisely. >> yeah. >> bullet point, don't hide it. >> yeah. >> it used to be a negative. what if you said, i don't really want to talk about it, it's a

personal matter for me. are you expected to share with your employer-to-be what happened? >> that's an awkward -- it's an awkward question for peopleri personal information. and yet, it is expected. >> you have to be expected to share, though. >> you don't need to over-share. and this is -- a problem particularly for older people. often for women. like you don't need to be too honest. you just need to explain why this fits into the pattern of your career. >> yeah. >> is this change happening in part because millennials are aging into positions of power? they're the ones making these hiring decisions? and they may have taken years off to go travel when they're in their 20s? >> and what that speaks to is why people take time off in the first place. and most of the people on lynchedin were still taking -- linkedin were taking it off for traditional reasons, they had children to take care of, an aging parent. it's men and women who take time off for caregiving. what you speak to is this next wave. that is, people coming into the work force and saying, you know, i'm going to take a year off and travel. or i'm going to take a year off

so i'm better prepared for the future. those are proactive reasons to step out of the work force. >> somebody like an employer might look and say, oh, that's a curious person, you were saying. >> yeah. that person has -- that person really is thinking about the future. that is a proactive person for my organization. >> that's a moderate interpretation. take a year off to wander around. old-fashioned -- >> in my family that means flaking off. >> do you think companies are becoming more flexible and open to -- to allowing people who have had time off, who have taken time off to reenter the work force, without judgment? >> absolutely. within reason, though. i'm not going to try to tell you that this is an easy thing. in fact, the people talking about it on linkedin didn't all have great stories to recount about how it all worked out. >> what are they saying? >> they're saying essentially that they go back in with a plan. some people -- one man had been out of work for 15 months. he was just going back to work. he said one of the most important things for him was actually to connect with other people, professional networks

while he was out of work, to keep those relationships warm. we all know that professional networks are how we get our next jobs. >> if your gap is tied to caring for a new baby, for example, men and women now doing that, as well, you know, it says about one in five u.s. parents, most are women, are stay-at-home parents. so if you're looking to reenter the workplace, you can keep the networking bug alive each if you have the baby strapped to your chest. the bluetooth player -- >> you know how to do that. who is more likely to have the gap in the resume? men or women? >> not a surprise. women overwhelmingly continue to be the people who step out not just because of babies, because of spouses, parents. it's shifting, but it's not shifting as i would like to see it shift. >> a lot of people when they go back into the work force, they're -- they're actually kind of afraid of the way they're going to be seen. >> yeah. >> they should -- they shouldn't be. >> it's not that they shouldn't be. it's that they should strateg strategically get ahead of it. do the things that are going to

best set you up for success. you need to understand it's possible. and that alone is a change. it wasn't possible in the same way two decades ago. >> you said something, women taking time off because of babies, spouses, why spouses? >> say you have an illness in your family, god forbid your spouse is diagnosed with cancer -- >> okay, all right. that makes sense. i was confused for a second. thank you, jessi hempel. thank you so much. on today's podcast, tech investor ben horowitz joins us to discuss his book called "what you do is who you are: how to create your business culture." he shares what lessons can be learned from the ancient warrior genghis khan and the leader of a prison gang. and before we go, how a 5-year-old -- i love this story -- drumming sensation just earned himself a college scholarship. thank you very much. we'll be right back.

before we go, a 5-year-old in louisiana just got a college scholarship for marching to beat of his own drum. jeremiah travis plays the drums with students about three times his age at a high school marching bands. yesterday the kindergartener was given a scholarship to alcorn state university. the director of bands was so impressed by jeremiah, you can see why, that he wanted to recruit him before other schools could get a chance. his mom told our affiliate wafd he started drumming when he was just 10-years-old. she said jeremiah is unfazed by all the attention. >> we have h.r. on the path to say we've got a superstar. he was looking around like, who you all see? what? he said, people keep saying, you're famous, you're famous. he's like, whatever. >> whatever. >> not 10-years-old, ten months old, little jeremiah has a long

way to go. he's set to graduate in 2032. and one more, a happy birthday shou ut to patrice kerrygold has a taste so rich it can take you to ireland's lush, green pastures. where grass-fed cows produce rich, creamy mil kerrygold. the taste that takes you there.
