good morning, everyone, i'm tamron hall and this is "newsnation." we are following breaking news after a gunman opened up fire at a fedex center north of atlanta this morning. the shooter took his own life and he is identified as a federal express employee. the shooter was armed with an assault rifle, knife, and bullets strapped across his chest, quote, like he was rambo. nbc's kerry sanders joining me from the fedex sorting package center, and what else are we hearing from people who are there, kerry? >> well, it is a horrifying scene, and one of the witnesses telling me that the as he was arriving, she saw him, and he first of all had that knife, and he had the weapons and she was startled, but then, you know the device s th devices that they use to read the bar codes off of the fedex packages, and he had picked one up, and aimed it right into her

eyes, and she was worried about the lasers and got out safely and heard shot after shot after shot, and six people were shot and rushed to the local hospitals here. one of them is still in critical condition, and the other five are being treated at the hospital, the gunman who is described by witnesses here as a coworker, and somebody who worked the line here sorting packages, and they believe he was 19 years old showed up around 5:45 this morning, and again, one of the witnesses told us on camera what she went through, and this is what she had to say. >> i was by my cage doing my work and i heard the klink, and something drop on the floor, and i looked and i saw a knife laying on the ground, and i don't know if he was going to pick it up, but when i saw what he was wearing, i ran the other way. he was in all black and in camo, and he had a camo vest, and he had assault rifle, and he had bullets strapped to his chest like rambo, and he loaded trucks. he loaded three of the trucks, and he was good.

i mean, he did the work. he was quiet for the most part, and we would joke around sometimes. i mean, i never thought that he would do something like this. >> reporter: that is liza aiken there tells us what she experienced and saw, and she has no real indication of what may have set him off. this young man strapped with weapons apparently according to authorities later took his own life, and you can see over my shoulder, there are police officer s wi officers with a portion of the airport here closed down. they are going through to make sure that there were no devices left behind. those employees who were at work and went through this horrific experience have been pulled to the side now by the fedex company and providing psychological counseling, and liza aiken among them in shockf

a hearing and looking this man in the face. >> thank you, kerry. and now the breaking news regarding the weather. 11 more people died in a devastating tornado outbreak and bringing the total number of people to 28 killed since sunday, and the danger is not over. millions of people over the southwest, and the northeast could be affected by the severe weather today, including tornadoes, and large hail and flash flooding. >> okay. let's go right now! >> that is a glimpse of what happened at least with 58 twisters touching down yesterday in alabama, mississippi and tennessee. one hospital took a direct hit. a tornado blowing out the windows and tossing around vehicles like toys. workers say that they heard the storm and took cover. >> and we heard it, and we got the employees and the patients in the clinic in the safest place we could get, and huddled down, and 14 of us in the

building at that time. we honestly felt god's hand of protection around us. the clinic is destroyed, but we are all saved. >> we were praying the whole time. >> and this is the perspective of the aftfiliate wtva, and the were on the air live when the to tornado hit tupelo, mississippi, and the meteorologist told them to take cover. >> go now! >> and the area hit hardest now, could see a repeat of the weather, and the meteorologists are warning that the atmosphere is reloading to produce super cells throughout the afternoon. and gabe gutierrez is joining us from vilonia, arkansas, and i am seeing people tweeting out the water, and the supplies they have brought in to help the people there, but from the dark ominous clouds behind you, they are still dealing with the bad

weather. >> well, hi, there, tamron. a lot offage activity here, and we are not expecting the severe weather here this afternoon, but other states like alabama and mississippi could be, in line for some severe weather, but there is a lot of activity, and thankfully the lack of rain this morning has allowed friends and families and relatives to come here, and this is aspen creek drive, the medical subdivision, and been here since yesterday talking to people. it is an amazing site. a lot of military families here, and another woman michelle mcgee had moved here a year and a half ago and searching for whatever she could yesterday, and back here today, and people are cleaning up, and this is the hardest hit town in arkansas, with eight confirmed deaths in vilonia, and throughout the state, 15 deaths. we are learning more about the victims, and we spoke with dan waszem, and his son was away on sunday, and he served in the

arkansas national guard and he had been deployed to iraq, and shielding his young daupgt daug ages 5 and 7 years old, and saved them, but hit in the head with a 2x4 and passed away. and his father is coming to terms with the loss. >> he gave his life for his daughters. >> yes, he did. trying to protect them. he is truly my hero, and i'm going to miss him greatly and what a great dad he was. he really loved those girls and loved his wife, and what a great son he was. you know. you could not ask for a better son. >> still, a lot of cleanup go g ing on here in vilonia, and it is a devastating scene out here, and hundreds of people were out here including the national guard, and vilonia lost a $14 million school set to open in the fall, and right now the victims range from 7 years old to 72-year-old throughout arkansas. but again, the south is dealing

with a potential for severe weather later today in parts of alabama and mississippi and here in arkansas, where they are cleaning up and will be for quite a while, tamron. >> thank you very much. let me bring in msnbc meteorologist bill karins, and he has an update for us. and bill, the meteorologists are saying that the atmosphere is going to reload, and explain what that means. >> yes, it is not what you want to hear, tamron. the clouds will take the charge out of the battery, but what recharges it is the moisture coming up from the south from the gulf, and of course, the sun. unfortunate lit over the area of concern today, we have perfectly sunny skies today, and the sun is full bore charging up the battery today, and that is what we mean by reloading. yesterday's map, and the storm report, we had 81 tornadoes reported yesterday compared to

30-something range there sunday night, but the difference of sunday night, we had what was an ef-4 go through arkansas and so it not just the number, but how strong they are, because the stronger they are, the more damage they do like we saw in arkansas where tupelo got hit by the ef-2 and weaker and didn't take as many lives, and the what will the atmosphere have in store, that is the question. and when you look back for mississippi and al alabaabama, s where the storms will form, and i expect around 1:00 in mississippi where we will get the first tornado watch out, and then warnings at mid a afternoon for that region. and the red is the greatest threat. and yes, 76 million people in the threat of severe weather, but most of it is gusting winds and not tornadoes. the ones that are long-track, and intense tornadoes are more like likely from the hattiesburg area to laurel to meridian to tuscaloosa and that is the

greatest ear of concern,-- greatest area of concern, and the storm chasers are out, and if we have anything happen, that is where it will be. and we are still a couple of hours away from it, but make sure that everybody knows it is going to occur, and have safe plans. they are releasing the schools early so that kids are not trapped on the school buses, and now we will see what happens when the storms come. and now, more fallout on the comments of owner of the clippers donald sterling. we are expected to learn sterling's fate as an nba owner as nba commissioner adam silver go going to be holding a press conference at 2:00 p.m. regarding the league investigation, and many former players and owners are encouraging him to come down hard.

that includes leslie alexander who says this guy has no place in the family of the nba, and whatever it takes, we have nik sure this kind of event never happens again. >> and the owner of the atlanta hawks said if it is sterling on the tape, then he should be given the maximum penalty for his comments. and tonight, some are calling for the all-out boycott, and including mark jackson who had this to say on the appearance of the "dan patrick show." >> i would not show up in the staples center in an ideal world, and i would prefer the clippers and the warriors to play in the staples center with no fans to speak volumes. >> but many of the fans are saying it is not about the ow r owner, but the team. and there is a growing movement on social media urging the fans to wear black to tonight's game, and many are calling it the clippers' blackout. and the head coach doc rivers says he hopes that the fans will show up tonight. >> you know, we need them, and i

can tell you that. we need unbelievable support right now from other people, and we are hoping that we get that. >> and meanwhile, the chips are falling fast for the clippers' organization as more than a dozen sponsors have cut ties with the team or are in the process of doing the same. kia, and carmax, and state farm, and so many virgin america joining in. joining me is john lucas, executive drirector of john lucs enterprise, and jeff, i want to start with, you because we are waiting for the announcement from the nba, and we don't know a lot about the clauses of them available to them, and what have you found out? >> well, the nba byli-constitutn are private to the owners only, but talking to people, and adam silver says he has a broad range of powers and what we are learning about that is anything

from the indefinite suspension to a suspension with the time limit on it, and then finally some kind of financial penalty that will, you know, in the big picture help him to make a decision, donald sterling, on whether he wants to own the team moving forward. >> and we know in the past, that $2.7 million is the fine that he paid in the housing discrimination where he said that he didn't want blacks and hispanics and people with children renting, and he said that blacks were dirty according to the deposition which is alleged, and so we know that he is willing and has paid the fines before, and so is this really about the fine or is the league looking of a way to strip them of the ownership if that is possible? >> well, the fine is not important to donald sterling at all, but this is the place, and the arena where he has felt welcomed, but he is not going to be feeling welcomed at all. and people will make him feel unwelcomed, the coaches and the

fans, and that is maybe the impetus to force him to sell the team eventually, but it is difficult to thes for out an owner. >> and in a sign of solidarity, the miami heat put their jerseys in the middle of the court, and it was not against their team, but for the nba, and so what donald sterling said is wrong, and abhorrent, and no place for n it in the nba or any place i associate with, but at the same time, it is decision i make, and you have to be very, very careful when you make blanket statements about what people say or think, because it is a very, very slippery slope are there. and that is his reaction, and what do you make of what cuban is saying? >> well, first of all, this is not new with the clippers. this has been going on since i was in the league in 1976. there have been habitual cases in the circumstances, so because of media and press, these things have quietly been talked about,

but they are now coming out, because this young lady has a recording of it, and now everybody is on the bandwagon, so it is not that it is new, but it is another taboo within the league that is now surfacing that we kept in the bad boy or the good boy syndrome that was out there, but never dealt with it or spoke about, because you could be black balled or sancti sanctioned. >> and that is a good point. i want to explore that more regarding that players many of them, aftrican-american, like yourself, knew that it was going on, but felt that, you know, you could not join forces. looking at someone like a michael jordan and yourself, hugely successful individuals that there was a fear of being blacklisted if you spoke out, and am i seeing this clear ly that is what is happening? >> well, i don't know if you knew you would be blackballed, but you knew there would be

consequences, because you didn't have enough evidence to follow up, but now that someone has been allegedly saying it on tape, people are speaking out, but before, and you have to understand that this is going on, but it is in a different form. what we have to be able to do in the solidarity of the league is to begin to have more dialogue about it with something that we knew about and didn't say anything about before. we are knocking down walls that have never been knocked down before, because of the media actually being involved in things that they weren't social media, and in this case, it is not in the basketball arena that is exposing this, but it is in the private life that means that people who he employed as african-americans have been consequence of his comments. so anybody who has been in the league was surprised at what came out, but i think that the volume that it is getting has

made everybody jump on the bandwagon. >> and well, marvette, let me ask you about the public relation relations surrounding this. it is said it is a plantation mentality and plantation mindset, and we know no business, no thriving business wants that association. this is bigger than the clipper, and it is about the league, and there are some people who say that david stearns should join up, and say something in the press conference today, and how do they spin this if it is a spin? >> well, it is impossible to spin, because it is a cancerous plague that has permeated throughout the nba and having represented players for the last 20 years, it is an issue as he just stated. and i do not believe that we can allow the intoxicating high of racism that has permeated the league to continue. he is right, the players are thes a sets, and not owner, and the owners control the nba, and the owners have the power, and

the nba is a family, but it is interesting that the nba implemented a strict dress code for the players but now they have to the address the moral hatred that lives within an owner's heart. so the nba is the minority and we have to step up as the power of community, and the players is to be clear, deliberate and strategic in ensuring they band together, and get a result to lead to change within the nba. >> and do you believe that we are seeing it? i mean, a young generation of multimilli multimillionaires who may not have the same fear factor that genre fered to that others thought that they would have to suffer repercussions, and lebron james and dwyane wade and people that are larger than life behind the scenes, and are they prepared to walk in some form if the nba does not act? >> yes, the difference is that you have a star player like chris paul now leading the union, and a player like lebron james standing up.

they are the icons and the pillars of the nba, and there is no nba without them, and the nba is a global business, and the only thing that people respond to is the economics of it, and the fallout of the sponsors is what is going to lead to change. unfortunately, as he stated, this has been an issue in the nba for years. i know that for first-hand representing the players, but i do know that now is a different time, and the players are standing larger because they have the force and the gravity behind them. >> and quickly, jeff, "the new york times" had an editorial -- sorry, mr. lucas, go ahead. >> and tamron, one of the points she is making is big, and it is that the funds that the players association and things using come from the yoowners and the collective bargaining agreement, and so what the players have to do although she is still saying that the players represent the fight, and it is much bigger and it is a global issue, and what has to be investigated and done

is that now it has to be a criteria of what an owner needs to be represented for. we have now gone through the referees and gambling, and gone through the players with the drugs and the alcohol, and issues of me being one of those, and we are clear of that, and now we have gray players in the league, and doing, that and the owners are -- gay players in the league, and doing that, and now we have to infiltrate what the owners are doing, and the standards of hiring and what they are doing, and the policies envision. you don't know what people are going to go d-- going to do and that one that is one of the things of the beauty of the basketball. you look at the game of the game, and i would throw you the ball if we could win, but i might not want to associate with you away from the arena, and that does not make any sense to me, that i am good enough to work for you, but i am not good enough to have this relationship with you. >> and to be at the table. >> and not only in football, not only in basketball, but in football and all sports

globally. it is a global issue. >> and jeff, because i am almost out of time, but again, "the new york times" had an op-ed saying that there is a legal obligation, because the league has sheltered him going back to david stearns, and are you hearing the rumblingings in the background to explain how it is going so long? >> well, if it is not david stearn, it is adam silver who is going to have to speak on his behalf, because "the new york times" made a point that it is going on for a long time, and bubbled underneath the surface, and has to be dealt with, and the nba is going to be so disappointed it got to this point. >> and thank you, mr. lucas, and if you are available to come back on, and i can tell you that you are fired up, and hopefully, you are available tomorrow, and we can talk more about this, and on a lighter note, you don't want to throw me the ball on your team, because we would lose for sure, but i look forward to talking to you and getting your

reaction of whatever comes oout of this big announcement by the n nba. thank you, sir. and the reid report will have a live coverage of the nba announcement at 2:00 p.m. and now to other breaking news that we are going to philadelphia a row house under demolition suddenly collapsed a half hour ago, and our affiliate wcau says that two people were injured and no word yet on what caused the collapse and if there are more injuries, and we will keep an eye out then breaking news out of philadelphia. a lot going on today. right now, parents are searching for hundreds off girls kidnapped from the nigerian school which happened two weeks ago, but a lot of the people have not heard about this story, and an insurgent group took the girls as a campaign to end western education. where are the girls? i will be talking live with the chief who ois covering the story. and also, john kerry's con

trover shall warning that israel could become an apartheid state if peace talks fail, and kerry has clarified the comments, and senior editor mark murray will join us with the fallout. and this -- >> i will do the hair bit. >> we will do it. >> you will not be dining with u us. >> and the actress in her upcoming film "belle" about a unimaginable journey of a mixed race daughter of an admiral, and influential judge, and her mother was a slave. we will talk with her coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

they were abducted from their boarding school in northeastern nigeria, the girls were taken away in trucks and buses after a midnight raid on the dormitories by dozens of armed men. before leaving their abductors or t torched the school leaving it in ruins. the nigerian authorities are leading it on one of the most murderous terrorist organizations, an islamic fun da damtallist group that means education is dangerous. is there any indication that the girls are alive at this point? >> there have been no signs for more than a week now, tamron. for a week after they were kidnapped, some managed to escape, and we think 50. there are more than 200 still

missing accord ting to the head mistress and all kinds of stories around it. the parents of these girls actu actually put money together, bought fuel and went into the very dangerous forest where boca are known to have hideouts. the parents said they passed three hamlets where the villagers said they had seen the girls with the abductors, and they finally came to a point where someone said it is way too dangerous for them to go further. what is interesting about that, is that the parents said they never saw a single soldier, and nigeria's military says they are in hot pursuit of the kidnapper s, but two weeks later, everybody is asking, and a big campaign going on here called "bring back our girls." >> as i understand it, this group boca harem abducted the

girls before as i understand in the beginning of the year, 25 girl girls and women were taken at the beginning of the yee, and the u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon says it is the shocking incident, and that kidnapping of young schoolchildren is against humanitarian law. are there any forces that can help assist here nearly two weeks later? >> i am assuming, and this is only an assumption, tamron, that probably satellite imagining and tracking from governments is being used to help the nigerian government, and the american government helps in counter terrorism training in nigeria, so there is always foreign help, but in this particular case, no, it is nigerian troops who are searching for the girls. >> and meanwhile, the parents a are doing everything they can, but we know the sense of helplessness they must be experiencing, and what is next

here? is it just a wait, michelle? >> i don't know. i really don't know. there are all kinds of rumors out there, and there was a story in the paper today claiming they had been married off to some of the islamic extremists at a ceremony where they were sold for 2,000 niro which is about $100 where they were sold to a fighter. and this is a story in the newspaper not krcorroborated in any way, and the other story that we are hearing is that they could be across the border in cameroon where they are known to have camps. >> thank you so much. we will continue to follow all of the developments. you have been covering this story as the chief african correspondent with the a.p., and we appreciate the latest information from you, and please be safe. thank you. >> thank you, tamron. >> and right now, the supreme court is hearing a case

right now, arguments are wrapping up before the supreme court on the hot topic button of your privacy in this digital age is the issue. can police go through your cell phone when you are arrested and especially when it is driving without a seat belt or jaywalking and if so, they could sense through the personal information and text messages and video on your smartphone without a warrant. nbc justice pete williams reports from the supreme court. >> tamron, good morning, the supreme court is hearing argument in two cases that basically ask the same question.

when the police arrest someone for anything are from a serious crime to something like not wearing a seat belt, must they get a search warrant first or the can they search that phone without permission from the judge? >> reporter: cell phones are a powerful tool for criminals and widely used for arranging the drug deals and gang members to communicate by texting, and that is why the obama administration says that the police should have as much latitude to search phones without a warrant when make making an arrest as they do now to examine personal effects like purses and wallets. on the other hand, police started to go through the wallet of a man who is a advocate for the homeless after he pitched a tent in the san francisco tent in a protest. and his phone had something embarrass i embarrassing. >> i had shared something with a friend about a politician, and it was chilling to me that they had my cell phone. >> reporter: and nearly 90% of adults have a cell phone and 2/3

have a smart phone. >> everything, my contacts, my cal calendar, and e-mail, message, everything. >> reporter: and more than 13 million people are arrested in the u.s. each year and most of them never charged with a crime. privacy advocates say that smartphones can hold so much personal information from medical records to intimate pictures that the police must have a warrant before they snoop. >> you are now into the realm of far more than any person could ever carry. you are in the person's home, the person's office, the person's doctor's office all at once. >> and so what the justices have to decide is what is in to a cell phone more of what the police can already do, and get without a search warrant or so much more that cell phones are in a class by themselves? tomron. >> thank you, pete. right now, jewish make -- jewish

weather for you throughout the day, and the evening. and secretary of state john kerry is pushing back after drawing heavy criticism for comments he made about israel in a closed door meeting with world leaders on friday. secretary kerry said that if mideast peace talks fail, israel risks becoming, quote, a apartheid state," and that drew quick and prompt criticism from congresswoman barbara boxer, and ted cruz called on him to resign. and yesterday, kerry released a statement saying that i will not allow my commitment to israel to be questioned and in particular for partisan political reasons. if i could rewind the tape, i would have chose anne different word. and so joining us, mark murray, our political editor, and are the words enough to make it go away? >> well, tamron, it is not a

story we will be talking about in a week or two, but using the word apartheid is loaded and had democrats and republicans up in arms. and of course, apartheid was the power structure in south africa, and the one that nelson mandela helped to topple, and the imagery of that is rough. but the thrust of john kerry's statements that he ended up making in the closed door meeting, tamron, are unk uncontroversial in israel himself, and what he was talk about in the future is that if there is not peace between the israelis and the palestinians and two-state solution, one of two things will happen, and that is with the current demographic changes right now, you would have palestinians outnumbering israelis in, israeli jews in israel, and that would be the end of the democracy in the kun t count country, and the other thing that could happen with the demographic changes that the israeli jews would take away certain rights of the palestinians and deny them the right to vote, et cetera, and that is what john kerry is talking about, that the current

course is unsustainable, and both sides need peace in order for there to be a israel that we are seeing today. and i think that he did regret the word apartheid, but the situation that he painted out is real, and in a sense it is not controversial in israel. >> and yes, the criticism is coming from both sides. >> yes, and absolutely. when you looked at the e-mails, and tamron, probably the same that i ended up seeing, the republicans one outnumbered the criticism outnumbered the democratic one, and the goal of the republicans has been huge for the past several presidential cycles. and 2012, israel was thrown under the bus by president obama we are hearing. and jewish voters have a 70 to 30% clip of the perceptions of israel don't end up impacting or

having the jewish-americans vote in presidential contests. >> than thing you sh, mark murr well, the white house is ramping up the pressure of the universities to do more to combat sexual assaults across the campuses across the country, and in fact, this afternoon, joe biden will unveil the first report from the task force to the protect students from sexual assault. and the effort is to have schools conducts anonymous surveys to get a better understanding of how frequently the incidents happen, and go unreported. the report is also going to launch a website called "not alone.gov" coming after the administration announced a series of steps to address epidemic of pushing the schools to be more transparent in the reporting of the incidents. republican congressman michael grimm steps down from a key position one day after the feds charge him with 20 criminal counts, but what does he say about keeping the seat in the house? it is one of the things that we thought that you should know. [ male announcer ] this is jim.

a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto. like warfarin, xarelto is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route.

not today.
