good morning. good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. we begin with americans traveling for memorial day weekend. a staggering number of people are expected to be on the move after being stuck at home for more than a year during the pandemic. aaa estimates more than 37 million americans are expected to travel 50 miles or more from home this weekend. that's up 60% from last year. a majority of people are expected to drive. this comes as airlines see a surge in unruly passengers. one woman was banned from southwest after she punched a flight attendant in the face. laura podesta's in new york. this is becoming a problem for more airlines. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. it sure is. airlines are seeing 25 times more reports of unruly behavior this year compared to years past. and most of the issues revolve around mask wearing, still required on the planes.

>> hey! >> reporter: startling video of an attack on a southwest flight attendant earlier this week shows tensions in the skies are high. >> and then they stopped and next time i saw -- don't touch me! the lady stood up and pow. >> reporter: the flight attendant lost two teeth. vyvianna quinonez was later arrested. passengers say the attendant was arguing with someone about their mask while leaning over her. >> frustration was still brewing in all of them including the flight attendant no doubt. and so it just escalated very, very fast. >> reporter: the faa says there have been 2,500 reports of unruly behavior in 2021. most related to the federal mask mandate. typically there are 100 to 150 formal cases per year. >> being called names. being treated hostily. having their laniards pulled. >> reporter: today is usually the busiest travel day of the memorial day weekend.

aaa expects more than 34 million americans to drive and 2.5 million to fly. >> not be able to go with really hardly any restrictions, and be able to take my mom out is a blessing. >> reporter: some are still getting used to the crowds. >> there are times where i am leery because of the amount of people traveling. >> reporter: for those hitting the road, they'll feel a pinch in the wallet. the national average for a gallon of gas is $3.04, more than $1 higher than last year. the average price of gas is the highest it's been in seven years according to gasbuddy.com. it's likely because oil companies cut production in 2020, so right now demand is outpacing supply. anne-marie? >> all right. laura podesta in new york. thank you so much. there are new developments in that mass shooting in san jose, california, where a disgruntled worker shot and killed nine people at a rail

yard. authorities say 57-year-old samuel cassidy picked out his victims and let others go. he was also detained and released by border patrol five years ago after returning to the u.s. carrying books about terrorism. police released surveillance footage from the rail yard showing cassidy walking toward a second building after shooting people in the first building. len ramirez has the latest from san jose. >> reporter: mourners gathered in san jose, california, to remember the nine people gunned down at the valley transportation authority, a federal official confirms to cbs news u.s. customs officers had previously detained the shooter, samuel cassidy, after a trip to the philippines in 2016. they noted he professed a hatred of his workplace and was carrying books about terrorism. among the victims in the wednesday morning rampage were bus and light rail operators, mechanics, a lineman, and a manager. >> we do know that he confronted one person and said, "i like

you, get out of here," and went to the next. the person that he did not shoot was not an employee there. >> reporter: the wife of 49-year-old alex ward fritch was by his side as he died at a nearby hospital. >> the nurse came in because he was deteriorating. and she said, he knows you're here. he's crying. and he took his last breath, and his heart stopped. >> reporter: authorities believe cassidy acted alone and killed himself as deputies closed in on him. his ex-wife spoke about their ten-year marriage. >> his temper, that was one of our biggest problems. >> reporter: at the scene, detectives found three semiautomatic handguns. >> i believe that our deputies actually prevented more loss of life. >> reporter: investigators also recovered nearly three dozen high-capacity magazines loaded with more ammunition. cbs news, san jose, california.
