good morning. i'm diane king hall in for anne-marie green. we begin with breaking developments about that shooting rampage at a cabinet business in texas that left one person dead and six others wounded including a state trooper. overnight, investigators revealed the suspected gunman's identity as 27-year-old larry bolland. he's charged with murder and being held on $1 million bond. officers believe he's an employee of kent moore cabinets where the shooting took place yesterday. investigators are still trying to determine a motive. danya bacchus has more. >> reporter: the deadly gunfire broke out thursday afternoon at this cabinet-making business just outside college station about 100 miles northwest of houston. police say multiple people were show. >> police received a call of an active shooter. officers responded to the scene and arrived in a fairly short period of time. however, the shooter had gone by

the time officers got here. >> i don't know how these guys so quickly was shooting inside and then out of the blue he was in the parking lot already. >> reporter: that set off a manhunt during which authority apprehended the suspect who police identified as 27-year-old larry bolland. a trooper was shot and airlifted to a hospital. a school was locked down as a precaution. >> it's complex because you have a whole number of workers at the warehouse, and so we're sorting through all that h. and interviewing witnesses and talking to people that know what happened. >> reporter: the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives sent dogs to the scene. the fourth mass shooting in just three weeks. it comes as president biden is ordering a crackdown on homemade weapons and calling on congress to make stronger gun laws. danya bacchus, cbs news. part of that crackdown includes the justice department creating red-flag legislation that states can rep kate aimed

at keeping guns away from people facing mental health issues. the justice department will also create rules addressing ghost guns which are self-assembled weapons with no serial number. and president biden wants a 60-day review of how stabilizing braces for pistols are regulated. all this comes amid another mass shooting. this one in south carolina. authorities say former nfl player phillip adams killed five people, a doctor, three of his family members, and a repairman. adams took his own life. there's no word on a motive. turning to the battle against the coronavirus, millions of americans continue to get vaccinated every day, but the number of new infections is rising. naomi ruchim is in new york. experts are also putting out a warning for kids. tell us about it. >> reporter: well, that's because that new variant, the one from the uk, is now the most prevalent in the u.s., and it seems to be more contagious for young people. also younger people are getting

sicker. of all the new cases in the u.s. last week, children accounted for roughly one in five. about three million vaccines are now being administered in the u.s. every day. more than a third of the population has received at least one dose, and nearly 20% are considered fully vaccinated. yet the number of infections has been rising, with more than 64,000 new cases reported daily. in the upper midwest, hospitalizations are up 42% in the past week. >> the last time we have seen numbers like that was 12 months ago in april of 2020. >> reporter: according to the cdc, most common source of new infections is the b.1.1.7. strain that was first identified in the uk in december. experts say children may be more susceptible to the variant. >> prior to this time, young kids, particularly those in eighth grade or younger, rarely got infected or seriously ill

with the virus. and importantly did not transmit the virus in the community. today that has been turned on its head. >> reporter: mass vaccination sites in north carolina and colorado were closed this week after some recipients experienced adverse reactions to the shot. all were administering the johnson & johnson vaccine. >> at this point we have no reason to believe there's anything wrong with the vaccine. >> reporter: at least two people were hospitalized. the cdc is investigating but says covid-19 vaccines are both safe and effective. and with so many more americans able to get the vaccine here in the next couple of weeks, you've likely heard about people having a bad reaction to the second dose, maybe having some flu-like symptoms, some fatigue and fever. the big question is should you let your boss know that you might need the day off? experts are weighing in now and saying, yes, it's probably worth letting them know the timing of

your vaccines just so they can replace you or fill your spot while you're gone. while there is a chance you won't feel well after either the first or second dose, you might feel just

successful royal marriage. she provided the continuity and the smiles. philip provided the support and from time to time the

controversy. some thought he was a fountain of political incorrectness. he once asked aboriginals in australia whether they still threw spears at each other. he told british students in china they would get slitty eyes if they stayed there too long. closer to home, he once asked scott irdriving instructors how they kept their students off the sauce long enough to pass the test. >> he just said what he thought -- he was very funny. prince philip was the man who said if ever you see a man opening a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife. he was a secluhrewd operator. >> reporter: it was philip who convinced princes william and harry to walk behind their mother's coffin when they didn't want to. i'll walk with you, he said. harry has since said it was a

traumatic experience no child should have to endure. it was a lesson in royal duty. royals don't gush except sometimes. we don't know what philip thought of the queen's tribute to him on their golden wedding anniversary, but it could serve as his epitaph. >> he has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and i and his whole family and this and many other countries owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim or we shall ever know. >> the royal family made the announcement in a tweet. "it is with deep sorrow that the queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, the prince duke of edinborough. he passed away this morning." charlie, it was quite a life. >> reporter: it was quite a life. he was known to be such a character here in the uk. as the queen had put it multiple

times, she always described him as her rock. sort of the quiet strength behind the throne. known for his personality, his sense of humor, his sometimes inappropriate comments, and sense of humor, that was part and parcel of who he was. he was also known to have tried to be the peacemaker within the royal family, trying to keep the royal family together through the rocky patches, including recent rocky patches. you know, in a way, the queen is obviously the matriarch of this family, but he served as the patriarch of the family when it comes to the royal family itself. but we were always on guard for philip's gaffes, what he had to say, and he was quick witted. as i said, at times inappropriate, as mark pointed out in the obituary. he just left the hospital on march 16th. he had been in the hospital for a month. he underwent heart surgery.

you know, there were hopes, of course, that he was going to reach his 100th birthday which is june 10th. there were big celebrations planned for that. yes, we got news just moments ago from the palace. >> i know. charlie, it's so -- i'm sad to hear this news. as you pointed out, he was at the hospital. and when he was released people were feeling really good. they were thinking he's getting better. listen, i know when you're 99, it's always -- you never know how much longer you have. people were feeling pretty good when he left the hospital. have you heard anything about exactly what happened? was it just natural causes? and i realize it's still early in the story, it's just breaking there. >> reporter: yeah, you know, i think we all had a sense of relief. when a important as old as he is goes to the hospital, 99 years old, and then spends about a month in the hospital and undergoes a heart procedure, you know, you're not thinking it's going to turn out great. so we were all surprised, pleasantly surprised when he left, as you saw on his own steam.

the back of a car sitting up. it wasn't an ambulance that brought him away. in terms of whether they knew he was nearing the end and he'd be more comfortable passing away at home, we don't know. we don't know exactly what he succumbed to or when. we just got the statement from the palace just moments ago. so we don't know the details yet. yes, as we know it, passed away peacefully this morning at windsor castle. >> yeah. >> charlie, you know, it says in the announcement that the -- the royal family put out that the website is temporarily unavailable as they make changes. in addition, they note -- i guess more information will be forthcoming, that they will join people around the world in mourning this loss. i'm curious, is there a playbook or official process that will unfold in the days ahead? has something been triggered that we can point to? >> well, it's a good question, tony. there is, and there certainly was. but in these days of covid, everything has had to been

changed, and everything has been marginalized. in terms of what to expect the next few days, i don't know yet. the palace hasn't given us a play by play. it would have been a state ceremony, obviously, for prince philip. i don't know exactly the timings for that or the level of involvement. yes, he will be certainly mourned here, and people will want to show their mourning. there will be to be something to mark his funeral. but exactly what i haven't got the details of. >> we talk about what a colorful character he was. i recall in the mid 191980s in london, going to a coaching contest. it the prince loved to ride horse and carriages in competition. and he was on the course that day in competition, and you could hear him cursing all the way around the course. very loudly. you don't forget something like that. >> that's part of the charm. part of the charm.

>> it was. you didn't know what he was going to say. >> no. he was never shy. he was a character. and as you saw from those earlier pictures, you know, when he was younger, he was quite the playboy. he was really the heartthrob in the early days. my wife and her mother, more appropriately, would talk about how handsome he was and how charming he was. and yes, part of the charm was, you know, in these days of correct political correctness, i have to add there, he was politically incorrect. we were always waiting for what he had to say. and he -- he was pretty vulgar and cutting with some journalists. the ones he didn't like. he made known because, you know, microphones were everywhere. so you know, he was known to be a man who painted outside the lines. nobody could really tell him what to do except her majesty, and she wasn't about to do that. so really he was a law unto himself and beloved for that here in the uk.

of course when he made these inappropriate statements that you saw in mark's obituary there, it is offensive, and it's unacceptable. but it is who he was. and he didn't change for anybody. >> let's talk about their long marriage, charlie. they've been together for well over 70 years. that's -- that in itself is extraordinary. >> it's legendary. >> yes. >> and i think -- you know, not just 70 years, but really 70 years on the throne. you know, he has been there with the queen with this unprecedented amount of time right beside her, so he has had a duty, a sense of responsibility, not just being married for that long, but being married to the queen and having that official role and that duty being under the spotlight, having to go through the situation with princess diana dying, having to be the peacemaker. even recently, you know, with

prince harry and prince william, prince charles, and everything that's gone on with the royal family, he has been involved. i know that for a fact, as of about a year ago when they were talking about meg imegi -- mexi. he remained -- >> he's the spouse of the moon o, but in many ways, he's the head of the family. he has this fine line he has to walk sometimes. >> exactly right. i mean, he still had a boss, maybe we all do. his boss was her majesty, the queen. he had a role as a father, and he had a role in bringing up prince charles. you know, he was bringing up a future king and his grandson, also a future king. and his role was valued, and he was respected within the royal family because of that. he always stood beside the

queen, always knew his place in a manner of speaking, that he was there to support her. >> charlie, thank you. we're going to turn to longtime royal watcher tina brown, author of "the diana chronicles." good morning. i know you're joining us on the phone. you, too, are just hearing this for the first time. >> i am, indeed. it's not unexpected. but nonetheless, extraordinarily sad and an enormous moment for the queen, of course, and england. you know, this is a man who was -- he said when the queen was crowned, he said that he knelt at her feet and said, he swore to be her lead lord for the days of his life. and that is what he was for the next, you know, seven decades. he was at her side. he did support her all those years, even though he was such an enormously red-blooded alpha man, this was not your

traditional handbag carrier. and yet, prince philip really served as he promised to, his country and his queen. >> yeah. you know, she called him her strength and her stay. so i can't imagine how she must be feeling today, her longtime partner. this will also deeply affect her. what do you think -- how do you think it will affect her personally and professionally? she really relied on him. >> she did. for several years now really he's been fading. she's had to sort of reckon without his enormously important input in all of the big decisions of her life. the interesting thing about it really was was that she found a way, the queen, to give him a role, and yet she depended on him so tremendously. she always knew that he would give her honest answers. she always knew that she was the one person who was her peer in

the private realm, that she could say anything to him, and he would tell her the truth. she's surrounded by sycophants, people always regarding her, of course, as your majesty. and philip was absolutely direct, absolutely honest, never, ever gave her anything but his best advice. she really did depend on him for that. and yet, in the private realm, you know, she divided things in a very traditional way. one of the people who know her once said to me he runs the shoot, she brings the picnic. that's what it was like in the private realm. she did defer to him in the most traditional marriage way. but of course, she was also the queen. beyond that realm, he absolutely deferred to her. >> tina, what do you think his death now is likely to mean for the royal family and the way -- even that he has been fading in these last few years, he's still been a presence. >> he's still been a presence. he was always a family enforcer.

he was always the arbiter in running their private estates and deeming with the issues of the children a lot of the time. he was the final decisionmaker. there's no doubt that he was actually involved at the very end of mexit. he was certainly consulted on that. that was happening at sandringham and he there was in the cottage that he preferred to live in on the grounds rather than the big house except when the queen was there. he was absolutely discussed everything -- he certainly was -- certainly discussed with andrew, the crisis with prince andrew and jeffrey epstein. there's no doubt that prince philip was involved in the queen's decision to restrict all of his and royal duties. she will definitely miss his presence. and i think the question now is who will the queen turn to and rely on. she will probably rely more on

her daughter, princess anne, and she's close to her third son, prince edward, and his wife sophie. she's become very fond of actually. she's not immediate blood family, but she's a very warm and supportive woman who is willing to do the royal duties. she'll probably spend more time with them. i think she'll be crushed actually. i think she'll be extremely crushed. but being the queen, you know, she was confront this as her mother confronted the death of the king. you know, she was -- she will carry on. >> tina brown, thank you so much for being with us this morning. our coverage of the death of prince philip will continue on our streaming service cbsn and on your local station. this has been a cbs news special report. i'm anthony mason with gayle king and tony dokoupil, cbs news, new york. ce died, but fans of the legendary artist will soon be able to listen to a
