tonight, president biden is reacting saying his heart goes out to the families. cbs's nancy chen raced to the scene today and leads off our coverage in oxford, michigan. good evening, nancy. >> norah, good evening to you. we are being kept about a half mile back from the scene right now as police get ready to search the suspected shooter's home. the fbi is also here sifting through surveillance video, and social media as investigators look into a motive behind today's tragedy. at first, more than 100 9-1-1 calls came in just before 1:00 p.m. an active shooter at oxford high school. s.w.a.t. team members rushed to the school where authorities found 11 people shot. >> two were in surgery, six are in stable condition. there are a total of 11. three dead, eight shot. >> reporter: within five minutes of the first call, deputies confronted the 15-year-old suspect who surrendered. >> we have recovered multiple shell casings in the school. we're thinking, you know, 15 to 20 shots that were fired. >> reporter: police say the shooter had several magazines and appears to have acted alone.

nearly 200 cases of the new variant have turned up in 20 countries. we get more now from cbs's errol barnett. >> reporter: even before omicron cases are confirmed in the u.s., tonight researchers are preparing for its arrival. racing to analyze the strength of the arsenal to fight it. today, moderna's ceo told "the financial times" there is no world where his company's vaccine has the same level of effectiveness against omicron as it does with the delta variant. and regeneron -- makers of an antibody treatment that can reduce risk of hospitalization and death by 70% in high-risk patients -- says early evidence shows it is less effective against omicron and may need to be updated. meanwhile, the u.s. is stepping up its surveillance system for tracking new coronavirus variants. >> we are now sequencing approximately 80,000 samples per week. about one in every seven pcr positive cases and that's more than any other country. >> reporter: currently, testing antibody response against the

new variant is dr. david ho of columbia university. >> we suspect that there will be a significant amount of loss in activity. the antibodies that have been elicited by the current vaccine may have worked very well against the original strain or even the delta strain but will work less well against omicron. >> what does that mean for the amount of time it could now take to be protected against this strain? >> if the loss in vaccine efficacy were to be substantial, then companies will jump into action to make new vaccine. that might require anywhere from three months on. there will be some delay. >> reporter: also new tonight, "the washington post" reports that president biden is considering implementing a testing rule for americans returning from overseas travel, regardless of vaccination status.

it could also include a requirement to self-quarantine for seven days, norah, even if you test negative. all of that, reminiscent of early pandemic travel restrictions. >> yeah, that's a significant development. errol barnett, thank you so much. well, it was an emotional day at the sex trafficking trial of british socialite ghislaine maxwell. an accuser testified that maxwell's boyfriend jeffrey epstein abused her when she was just 14. cbs's mulla langy has graphic testimony from the federal courthouse in manhattan. >> reporter: taking the stand is jane to protect her identity. the first alleged victim to testify in ghislaine maxwell's trial today said she was 14 and frozen in fear during her first sexual contact with jeffrey epstein. she said she'd met epstein and maxwell in 1994 while eating ice cream at a summer arts camp in michigan. telling a packed courtroom that maxwell befriended her, then would sometimes be in the room during sexual abuse that went on for years. she seemed very casual, like it was normal she said with maxwell

just a few feet away at the defense table but it did not seem normal to me. jane fought back tears when she described flying from her home in palm beach to new mexico where she saw maxwell and was told epstein wanted to see her. i felt my heart sinking into my stomach, she said, her voice cracking, because i didn't want to see him. maxwell was charged with grooming underaged girls to be sexually abused by epsteinment she denies the charges. maxwell's attorneys have sought to portray jane as someone merely out to collect money from epstein's victim's fund. earlier today, epstein's longtime pilot testified he flew powerful and famous men on epstein's private plane, including prince andrew, kevin spacey, bill clinton, and donald trump. he said he never wansed any sexual activity. he also testified epstein introduced him to a young woman as they boarded since identified as jane. he described her as a mature woman. she was a teenager at the time. >> and joining us now from

outside the courthouse, i know you heard jane's testimony today, take us inside the room. >> reporter: well, norah, you could hear the discomfort in her voice as she testified. the sighs and the deep breaths before answering questions. at times, getting emotional. and often, sounding deflated, especially when she was recalling the more graphic details. the defense will continue their cross-examination of jane tomorrow, norah. >> thank you. and there's some breaking news that is just coming in tonight. cnn anchor chris cuomo has been suspended indefinitely, pending an investigation into his involvement in the defense of his brother -- then-new york governor andrew cuomo. andrew cuomo was forced to resign because of multiple sexual misconduct allegations and cuomo's suspension comes a day after explosive documents released by new york's attorney general revealed he was more involved than previously known. in a statement tonight, cnn says his involvement raises serious questions. the "cbs overnight news"

cybersecurity company. at their head quarters outside of san francisco. >> here, we have got an example of a bad bot trying to get through. >> reporter: the customers include major retailers. they face a perfect grinch bot storm. the pandemic, a surge in online shopping, and america's supply chain crisis. >> they basically go onto retail sites and they basically scan the inventory at a rate often more than once per second and they effectively buy it up before the average consumer can. >> the average consumer doesn't have a chance? >> doesn't have a chance. causes a lot of frustration. it adds -- to the economy. you have bot operators taking the margin and it goes into an underground economy so, no, it's not -- it's not a good thing for society. >> reporter: bots don't get tired. bots never sleep. and during the pandemic, bot activity and retail sites doubled. that's why online you are seeing more of this captcha command. it's a bot blocker. nobody gets all of them, right?

>> you are right, it can never be 100%. >> last month, nintendo introduced its gaming console, the switch oled edition. grinch bot activity doubled. last christmas, the ps5 was new. bot traffic surged 800%. murphy, a mother of two, looked for one everywhere. >> i ended up purchasing it at a multiple what the street market is from a very -- from a site that i wasn't sure, honestly, was genuine. >> how much over retail did you end up paying. >> 22 to 3x. >> like dave kennedy this christmas. >> you feel a certain amount of pressure to deliver. >> absolutely and it's a letdown for them when you can't right? >> even though you know what you are up against. >> sometimes, you get lucky. >> he knows the underground economy he is up against. no ifs, ands, or bots. mark strassman, san francisco. another day of testimony is on tap today in the sex

society. >> reporter: six years after jeffrey epstein's first conviction, she was running an environmental organization and still enjoying the high life. socializing with the uber wealthy and the famous. here in britain, though, ghislaine maxwell grew up a nouveau riche outsider. >> not amused by mr. maxwell. >> her father, robert maxwell, was profiled by 60 minutes in 1988. a jewish refugee from czechoslovakia turned brash newspaper tycoon. >> just give him a message please and stop giving us a hard time. >> reporter: ghislaine was reportedly his favorite child. he even named his yacht after her. but he had a reputation as a bullying tyrant, including to his children. >> i remember being in a room full of people when maxwell walked in and everybody stopped talking. and, you know, outside clint eastwood movies, that really doesn't happen that often. >> john preston wrote a

biography of robert maxwell. >> were people frightened? >> yes, i think people treated him with a strange mixture of kind of awe and ridicule. >> reporter: when he drowned mysteriously in 1991, it was discovered that maxwell had embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars, leaving ghislaine maxwell and her siblings humiliated and reportedly strapped for cash. >> they were the children of someone who had been branded public enemy number one. serial killers have had better press than robert maxwell. >> she was this mysterious, glamorous woman. >> reporter: but by 1997 when journalist vicki ward first met ghislaine maxwell at a party, she had transformed herself into a darling of new york city. >> she was always name dropping. henry kissinger, bill clinton. >> reporter: the question was how? >> there were designer clothes. there were clearly lots of private planes. and i did think, gosh, who's

paying for all this? >> reporter: ward later wrote a profile of jeffrey epstein for vanity fair discovering that maxwell was his ex-girlfriend and uncovering early allegations of sexual abuse against the pair, which ward's editors wouldn't allow her to publish. they say she needed more sources. >> he controlled the money that she needed access to. she introduced him to rich people, to important people, to people like prince andrew. >> reporter: she had befriended the so-called party prince in the 1980s. he denies that maxwell and epstein trafficked a 17-year-old to him for sex. >> i -- i've no recollection of ever meeting her. >> reporter: but ward told us other former friends of ghislaine maxwell now refuse to speak on the record. fearful their reputations will be tarnished. >> is there a possibility that ghislaine maxwell was jeffrey epstein's victim in some sense?
