into a crowd. police say it is no longer an active shooting, and none of the injuries are critical. the house will be in recess until next week, when they will then vote to fill the now vacated position of speaker of the house. the vote is expected on wednesday with a candidate forum planned for the day before. kevin mccarthy says he will not run again. the next deadline for a government shutdown is november 17th. and this is so fetch. the film adaptation of mean girls the musical will be released in theaters on january 12th. for more, download the cbs news app on your cell phone or connected tv. i'm shanelle kaul, cbs news, new york. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." we begin tonight on this historic day here in the

nation's capital. for the first time in the history of american democracy and the first congress of 1789, the speaker of the house has been removed from his position as the leader of the chamber. by a vote of 216-210, lawmakers booted speaker kevin mccarthy, throwing the house into chaos and into unprecedented territory. mccarthy seen here walking away from the chamber in bitter defeat after facing an uprising from the far-right faction of his own party. florida congressman matt gaetz, a longtime critic and thorn in the side of mccarthy, led the revolt after the now former speaker worked with democrats on a funding bill to avoid a government shutdown. only eight republicans voted to vacate the chair, but 208 democrats refused to come to mccarthy's rescue and save his speakership. we've got a lot of news to bring you tonight, and cbs's scott macfarlane will start us off from capitol hill. what a day. good evening, scott. >> reporter: good evening, norah. kevin mccarthy's speakership lasted nine months with critics

inside his own party threatening to move on him throughout. today they made their move and left half of the u.s. congress in a state of uncertainty. for the first time in its history, the u.s. house stripped its speaker of his job. >> the office of speaker of the house of the united states house of representatives is hereby declared vacant. >> reporter: kevin mccarthy's rocky leadership of one of the most narrow majorities ever in the house of representatives, which he earned only after a marathon 15-round drama in january, ended with a dramatic flourish as eight republicans joined all house democrats to remove him. >> chaos is speaker mccarthy. chaos is somebody who we cannot trust with their word. >> reporter: florida republican matt gaetz led the challenge, citing complaints about mccarthy's deal with president biden to avert a debt ceiling crisis in may and the 11th-hour deal to avert a government shutdown saturday, in which mccarthy secured more support among democrats than republicans.

>> there's nothing selfish about wanting a speaker of the house who tells the truth. >> reporter: for now, the house turns to a temporary speaker, north carolina republican patrick mchenry, until a formal vote occurs to choose a new speaker. >> keeping government open and paying our troops was the right decision. i stand by that decision. at the end of the day, if i have to lose my job over it, so be it. >> reporter: many republicans who backed mccarthy worried the party infighting will hurt them in next year's elections. >> i think it's sending a terrible signal to the electorate in advance of the '24 election that this republican majority cannot govern itself, and we need to change that. >> reporter: mccarthy had hoped some democrats would vote to save him, but they decided to back his removal after watching video this morning in a private meeting of mccarthy on sunday's "face the nation," blaming democrats after they helped him avert a shutdown. >> i wasn't sure it was going to pass. you want to know why? because the democrats tried to

do everything they can not to let it pass. >> democrats saved the day, and he goes on tv hours later and says republicans did it. republicans were leading, which is insane. >> reporter: for now the u.s. house is in a state of political paralysis. the doors are locked, the lights are off indefinitely. >> the million dollar question is what happens now? >> reporter: there will have to be a vote to elect a new speaker. that vote, though, isn't happening anytime soon. as the evening began, the republicans were having a closed door meeting, which really is the fundamental issue. for nine months, there's been no clear plan "b." even two of the defectors told me they don't have a name to offer. kevin mccarthy could run again, but as we've shown today, norah, he might not have the votes. >> scott macfarlane on the hill for us. thank you. let's head down pennsyvania avenue now to the white house, where cbs news' nancy cordes is talking to her sources. nancy, this vacancy has serious implications for a number of issues that are important to the american people. what's at stake? >> reporter: well, norah, there's no gloating on this end of pennsylvania avenue tonight. we just got a short statement

saying that the president hopes that the house elects a new speaker quickly because you're right. this vacancy creates major uncertainty for the white house on several fronts. take ukraine for instance. the president called a meeting with major allies this morning just to reassure them and to say he's confident that congress will soon pass another aid package for ukraine. but it's hard to see how he can have that confidence when he has no idea right now who the next speaker will be and whether that person even supports aid to ukraine. a number of house republicans don't. >> and, nancy, this all comes about just after we averted a government shutdown. but the fix was only temporary. so what does this mean for a future government shutdown? >> reporter: that's right, norah. the clock is ticking. that short deal runs out in just 43 days. so the question is how do you pass legislation that prevents a government shutdown without a permanent speaker in place who can make some tough calls? tonight some white house

officials are even wondering who's going to want that job. i mean after all, over the past ten years, all three republican house speakers have either been pushed out or simply gotten fed up with their own right flank. so if all three of them couldn't hold on in this modern republican conference, norah, it's hard to see who can. >> who wants one of the most powerful jobs in washington? nancy cordes, thank you. there was some big news today from day two of the business fraud trial against donald trump. the judge imposed a limited gag order this afternoon after trump disparaged a court staff member on social media. cbs's robert costa is at the courthouse in lower manhattan. good evening, robert. so what can you tell us about what the judge did? >> reporter: good evening, norah. that gag order came after a dramatic turn today here at this courthouse when former president trump went on truth social and falsely attacked a clerk here working for he judge, falsely claiming she is the girlfriend of senator chuck schumer. that post was later deleted, but

the judge came out and issued a searing statement to trump and his lawyers saying no personal attacks will be tolerated when it comes to his staff and to interpret that statement as a gag order. >> i do want to ask you, robert, because i know you were inside the courtroom for most of the day. what was the former president like? what was he doing? >> reporter: i sat just steps behind the former president. he was whispering to his attorneys, reviewing papers, fully engaged in all of this, but didn't say much inside the courtroom. outside he went out and told reporters he is willing to testify at some point in the coming months but soon will be on the campaign trail. norah. >> and we'll be back in court tomorrow. robert costa, thank you. hunter biden pleaded not guilty today to federal firearms charges. president biden's son is accused of lying about his drug use on a form to purchase a gun in 2018. hunter biden's court appearance comes months after a plea deal fell apart. now, this puts the case on track towards a possible trial next year while his father is running for re-election. it was an historic moment at

i'm adriana diaz in washington. thanks for staying with us. president biden is assuring allies that the united states remains committed to supporting ukraine in its war with russia. the president spoke with leaders of the european union, nato, japan, and canada to coordinate their efforts. it comes after republicans in congress removed all ukraine funding from a measure to keep the federal government open. meanwhile, inside ukraine, much of the battle is taking place in the skies. ramy inocencio went on patrol with a ukrainian drone unit on the front lines. >> reporter: the shock wave ripples across the hills. another live practice run complete. these soldiers from the new drone unit of ukraine's 24th mechanized brigade are commanding fleets to fly, target, and destroy. this pilot, code named sunset, commands the state-of-the-art r-18 okay tow copter, totally designed in ukraine. cost, more than $100,000.

[ speaking in a global language ] >> reporter: "china mainly" among stt other places he tells me. they still manage to get them through middlemen and third countries but slower. in a concealed workshop nearby,

boxes from china clearly sit on the shelf. another commander, taras, shows his men evolving the drones they can get to kill and repairing damaged drones to save money. more important with new u.s. funding for ukraine now suspended. >> if you wanted to send a message to americans, what is that message? >> it's -- i would tell that we don't waste this money. >> you don't waste this money? >> we use it in correct way. >> reporter: and that was just one drone unit of many across the country, and yet many more getting up and running. proof that drones aren't just gimmicks. they are urgent, and they are crucial to fighting and winning this war. ramy inocencio, cbs news, eastern ukraine. in new york, jury selection continues today in the trial of onetime crypto kingpin sam bankman-fried. he faces charges of wire and securities fraud and money laundering that could land him in prison for more than 100

the cdc is concerned that many americans will not get vaccinated this year for influenza, covid, or rsv. and it turns out a lot of people won't get their dogs vaccinated either. danya bacchus reports.

>> reporter: sid and gin is confident his dog kobe is safe as he plays with other pets on this southern california beach. that's because kobe has had his shots. >> i understand the public has hesitancy around vaccines in general. but as far as dogs go, i think it's pretty necessary. dogs are just a lot dirtier than we are and they can pick up a lot of different things. >> reporter: a study from boston university school of public health found kobe may be in the minority. 53% of dog owners have some hesitancy cord canine vaccines, seeing them as unsafe, ineffective, or unnecessary. >> my co-authors and i were stunned by how prevalent this phenomenon is. >> reporter: dr. matt mana says an unvaccinated pet is a danger not just to other animals but also to the humans around them. >> if there are more unvaccinated dogs out there, the risk of disease transmission grows. >> reporter: almost all states require rabies vaccinations and there are several other shots that veterinarians recommnd for

dogs. >> obviously rabies, you know, if you don't get treated right away or whatever, you die. parvo and distemper for sure can be fatal. >> reporter: the study also found vaccine misinformation has been projected onto pets as well. >> one of the things that we documented in our study is that nearly two-fifths of dog owners, i should say, believe that vaccines, routine vaccines administered to dogs, can cause them to develop autism. >> reporter: there is no evidence vaccines cause autism in humans or animals. danya bacchus, cbs news, los angeles. and that is the overnight news for this wednesday. reporting from the nation's capital, i'm adriana diaz. this is "cbs news flash." i'm shanelle kaul in new york. at least five people were shot at morgan state university in baltimore last night. the incident reportedly occurred when multiple shooters fired into a crowd.

we begin tonight on this historic day here in the nation's capital. for the first time in the history of american democracy and the first congress of 1789, the speaker of the house has been removed from his position as the leader of the chamber. by a vote of 216-210, lawmakers booted speaker kevin mccarthy, throwing the house into chaos and into unprecedented territory. mccarthy seen here walking away from the chamber in bitter defeat after facing an uprising from the far-right faction of his own party. florida congressman matt gaetz, a longtime critic and thorn in the side of mccarthy, led the revolt after the now former speaker worked with democrats on a funding bill to avoid a government shutdown. only 8 republicans voted to vacate the chair, but 208 democrats refused to come to mccarthy's rescue and save his speakership. we've got a lot of news to bring you tonight, and cbs's scott macfarlane will start us off from capitol hill. what a day. good evening, scott. >> reporter: good evening, norah.

kevin mccarthy's speakership lasted nine months with critics inside his own party threatening to move on him throughout. today they made their move and left half of the u.s. congress in a state of uncertainty. for the first time in its history, the u.s. house stripped its speaker of his job. >> the office of speaker of the house of the united states house of representatives is hereby declared vacant. >> reporter: kevin mccarthy's rocky leadership of one of the most narrow majorities ever in the house of representatives, which he earned only after a marathon 15-round drama in january, ended with a dramatic flourish as eight republicans joined all house democrats to remove him. >> chaos is speaker mccarthy. chaos is somebody who we cannot trust with their word. >> reporter: florida republican matt gaetz led the challenge, citing complaints about mccarthy's deal with president biden to avert a debt ceiling crisis in may and the 11th-hour deal to avert a government

shutdown saturday, in which mccarthy secured more support among democrats than republicans. >> there's nothing selfish about wanting a speaker of the house who tells the truth. >> reporter: for now, the house turns to a temporary speaker, north carolina republican patrick mchenry, until a formal vote occurs to choose a new speaker. >> keeping government open and paying our troops was the right decision. i stand by that decision. at the end of the day, if i have to lose my job over it, so be it. >> reporter: many republicans who backed mccarthy worry the party infighting will hurt them in next year's elections. >> i think it's sending a terrible signal to the electorate in advance of the '24 election that this republican majority cannot govern itself, and we need to change that. >> reporter: mccarthy had hoped some democrats would vote to save him, but they decided to back his removal after watching video this morning in a private meeting of mccarthy on sunday's "face the nation," blaming democrats after they helped him avert a shutdown. >> i wasn't sure it was going to pass. you want to know why? because the democrats tried to

do everything they can not to let it pass. >> democrats saved the day, and he goes on tv hours later and says republicans did it. republicans were leading, which is insane. >> reporter: for now the u.s. house is in a state of political paralysis. the doors are locked, the lights ae off indefinitely. >> the million dollar question is what happens now? >> reporter: there will have to be a vote to elect a new speaker. that vote, though, isn't happening anytime soon. as the evening began, the republicans were having a closed door meeting, which really is the fundamental issue. for nine months, there's been no clear plan "b." even two of the defectors told me they don't have a name to offer. kevin mccarthy could run again, but as we've shown today, norah, he might not have the votes. >> scott macfarlane on the hill for us. thank you. let's head down pennsylvania avenue now to the white house, where cbs news' nancy cordes is talking to her sources. nancy, this vacancy has serious implications for a number of issues that are important to the american people. what's at stake?

>> reporter: well, norah, there's no gloating on this end o pennsylvania avenue tonight. we just got a short statement saying that the president hopes that the house elects a new speaker quickly because you're right. this vacancy creates major uncertainty for the white house on several fronts. take ukraine for instance. the president called a meeting with major allies this morning just to reassure them and to say he's confident that congress will soon pass another aid package for ukraine. but it's hard to see how he can have that confidence when he has no idea right now who the next speaker will be and whether that person even supports aid to ukraine. a number of house republicans don't. >> and, nancy, this all comes about just after we averted a government shutdown. but the fix was only temporary. so what does this mean for a future government shutdown? >> reporter: that's right, norah. the clock is ticking. that short deal runs out in just 43 days. so the question is how do you pass legislation that prevents a government shutdown without a permanent speaker in place who can make some tough calls?

tonight some white house officials are even wondering who's going to want that job. i mean after all, over the past ten years, all three republican house speakers have either been pushed out or simply gotten fed up with their own right flank. so if all three of them couldn't hold on in this modern republican conference, norah, it's hard to see who can. >> who wants one of the most powerful jobs in washington? nancy cordes, thank you. there's a lot more news ahead on the "cbs overnight news."

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." we want to turn now to the dramatic ending in the search

for a missing 9-year-old. a man is in custody tonight charged with the kidnapping of a new york girl. and as cbs's jericka duncan reports, a key piece of evidence led police to the suspect and the safe return of charlotte sena. >> reporter: tonight, investigators in hazmat suits are gathering evidence from a mobile home and camper in milton, new york, where 9-year-old charlotte sena was found hidden in a cabinet monday. police say they got a lead when the suspect left behind a ransom note and his dna. >> he literally drove up to the family's mailbox at 4:20 in the morning and inserts the ransom note, leaving a critical piece of evidence behind, his own fingerprint. >> reporter: new york governor kathy hochul says a break in the case came at 2:30 monday afternoon when the fingerprint was matched in the state's database to 46-year-old craig nelson ross jr. from a dwi arrest in 1999. within hours, a s.w.a.t. team in

full tactical gear with guns drawn swarmed ross' mother's home, forcefully entering a camper on her property where ross was living. neighbors cbs news spoke with, who declined to go on camera, described hearing a powerful boom and witnessing a chaotic scene. at 6:32 p.m., police say the suspect was taken into custody after some resistance. >> she knew she was being rescued. she knew that she was in safe hands. >> reporter: around 400 law enforcement and volunteers searched for charlotte for two days. in a statement to cbs news, the sena family said, "we are thrilled that she is home, and we understand that the outcome is not what every family gets." tonight ross is behind bars at this correctional facility behind me. he was charged with first-degree kidnapping and faces at least 15 years in prison. and, norah, police say additional charges are expected. >> quite an end to this story.

jericka duncan, thank you. there was some big news today from day two of the business fraud trial against donald trump. the judge imposed a limited gag order this afternoon after trump disparaged a court staff member on social media. cbs's robert costa is at the courthouse in lower manhattan. good evening, robert. so what can you tell us about what the judge did? >> reporter: good evening, norah. that gag order came after a dramatic turn today here at this courthouse when former president trump went on truth social and falsely attacked a clerk here working for the judge, falsely claiming she is the girlfriend of senator chuck schumer. that post was later deleted, but the judge came out and issued a searing statement to trump and his lawyers saying no personal attacks will be tolerated when it comes to his staff and to interpret that statement as a gag order. >> i do want to ask you, robert, because i know you were inside the courtroom for most of the day. what was the former president like? what was he doing? >> reporter: i sat just steps behind the former president. he was whispering to his

attorneys, reviewing papers, fully engaged in all of this, but didn't say much inside the courtroom. outside he went out and told reporters he is willing to testify at some point in the coming months but soon will be on the campaign trail. norah. >> and we'll be back in court tomorrow. robert costa, thank you. hunter biden pleaded not guilty today to federal firearms charges. president biden's son is accused of lying about his drug use on a form to purchase a gun in 2018. hunter biden's court appearance comes months after a plea deal fell apart. now, this puts the case on track towards a possible trial next year while his father is running for re-election. back here in washington, the threat of gun violence hit close to home for a member of congress. democratic congressman henry cuellar of texas was carjacked by three armed attackers outside his apartment building last night. cbs's nicole sganga reports car thefts in other cities have surged this year. >> reporter: just blocks from the u.s. capitol, texas

representative henry cuellar says he was swarmed by three assailants donning masks and black clothing, then carjacked at gunpoint in d.c.'s navy yard neighborhood. >> i do have a black belt, but i recognize when you got three -- three guns, i looked at one with a gun, another one with a gun behind me. so they said they wanted my car. i said, sure. >> reporter: the congressman said police recovered his suv and his phone just two hours later. violent crime is now up 39% in the nation's capital compared to last year. and motor vehicle theft rose by 106% here this year. >> the vast majority of carjackings are armed. >> reporter: bruce jacobs is a professor of criminology. >> in fact, we've seen a number of cases in the data where carjackers are either livestreaming their offense or at least bragging about it. >> carjacking is a social media-friendly crime? >> yeah. i would argue that that's true.

>> reporter: while violent crime is trending down nationwide, data from a recent study of 32 u.s. cities shows motor vehicle thefts are 104% higher in the first half of 2023 compared to 2019. >> it's just a matter of somebody coming up to your door, throwing you out, and getting in. and that really does take seconds. >> reporter: this carjacking occurring just eight months after minnesota congresswoman angie craig was assaulted on an elevator in her d.c. apartment building. meanwhile, u.s. capitol police say they're still searching for the suspects behind last night's incident. norah. >> nicole sganga, thank you very much. jury selection is under way in the criminal fraud trial of fallen crypto king sam bankman-fried. the 31-year-old accused of stealing billions of dollars in customer deposits on his cryptocurrency platform ftx and using it to prop up his hedge fund, buy real estate, and for other personal investments. he's facing federal charges

your fate is in someone else's hands or some technology's hands. >> reporter: and in austin, it was mass cruise confusion last month when several of the avs stopped in the same area, clogging streets. cruise says it has about 400 of these self-driving vehicles on the roads in several cities across the u.s., including here in phoenix. the company has never had a fatal accident, and tonight cruise is cooperating with the police investigation as officers try to track down this apparent hit-and-run driver. norah. >> kris van cleave, thank you. it was an historic moment at the u.s. senate today when its newest member, senator laphonza butler, was sworn in, replacing the late california democrat dianne feinstein. butler is now the only black woman serving in the u.s. senate and the first openly gay senator from california. she was sworn in by vice president kamala harris, the last black woman to serve in the senate. an 11-year-old boy charged with attempted murder after a shooting that was caught on camera.
