customers. take a listen. >> i don't know what set them off. but, he just was on the rampage. >> the screaming is that "the revolution has begun" and "get out of the store" and everybody sta started running around. i came towards the back room. i held that door open and basically let as many people as with we could get out of the store. >> and the police say that the suspects then turned the gun on themselves. nbc's mike taibbi joins me now sh, and what is the latest that we are learning about this investigation? >> hello, kristen. the late zest ast is a question were they white supremists or believe in white supremacy and part of a larger group or independent actors acting out a deadly scenario yesterday at about 11:30 in the morning? there are large numbers of police officers involved in the investigation at a number of locations here where the shootings okccurred at the

walmart, the pizza place where the two police officers were shot, and the apartment where the two suspects lived, a couple, man and woman, and two people who with we spoke to on the scene had moved here short time the ago from indiana and talk about the things that they believed in and the things that they wanted to do and they believed in anti-government conspiracies and they wanted to kill as many cops as possible. they started with the two police officers yesterday. so the investigation is continuing. as i say it is continuing at all of the crime scenes and in the meantime, the las vegas metropolitan police department is reeling from the worst day in the history. they never had two police officers killed in the same incident, and they have lost officers before, but never two in the same incident, and following that a heart felt statement by the sheriff gles pi. >> it -- gillespie. >> it is a very very difficult day. we have a community to protect,

and we will be out there doing it with the heads held high, but an emptiness in our hearts. >> reporter: as you said, kristen, there is a press conference loosely schedule and fluid right now, and they hope to do it later this morning, but they are gather sing so much information from so many sources at this point with hundreds of witnesses having been interviewed or still to be interviewed, it is unsecertain, and they are not giving us a firm time for the next update, but something before the day's end and we will continue the report the story and more on "nbc nightly news" with brian williams. chr kristen? >> and mike, i know that you are talking about the devastation within the police department, but two police officers are are killed and i imagine that the community is also reel iing. can you set the scene for us this morning and how is that community coping? >> well, you know, i are got here early at 3:00 a.m. our time for the first "today" show reports and went into the couple of convenient stores to get coffee and people said not

again. there have been a number of shooting incidents in las vegas in the last month to six weeks and this is the worst and the one getting the most publicity, because two police officers were among the victims burk it ist another one of the incidents that makes no sense, and sense less act of violence and it is cliche, but many of the cliches are clee shaiches, because they true, true, and that is what it is in this case. >> thank you, mike taibbi. we are following news out of bos ton's logan airport as a southwest air looline backed in another jet pulling out of the gates no. injuries, but damage to one plane. there were over 100 passengers on that flight to kansas city, and all of the passengers have been accommodated on other flights. and the controversy of bowe bergdahl's release has more information provided by the

talib taliban. this prompts a hearing today at the white house where doctors are saying at landstuhl, germany, that he is physically okay to come home, but has yet to deal with the emotional wounds. he has not spoken to his family and he said that his captivity was terrifying and he said that he was confined to a tiny space like a box and kept in the dark for long periods of time in captivity. and john kerry defended the move of the exchange in his first public comments. take a listen. >> what i know today is what the president of the united states knows, that it would have been offensive and incomprehensible to consciously leave an american behind no matter what, to leave an american behind in the hands of people who had tortured him, cut off his head, do any number of thing the, and we would consciously choose to do that?

that is the other side of the equation, and nobody would think it is the appropriate thing to do >> and the obama administration continues to face a wave of bipartisan criticism over the deal. >> i heard john kerry this morning say that, you know, don't worry about them in doha. you can't help but worry about them in doha. it is hard to be comfortable when you have really not been briefed on the intricacies of carrying out this agreement. >> you have the obligation to do whatever we can to bring any of our captured servicemen and women back, but the e question is, at what cost? whether it would put the lives of other american men and women who are serving in danger and in my view, clearly, this would. >> and joining me live now, nbc news law enforcement analyst and retired atf specialist and hostage negotiator the jim

cavenaugh and carlotta gal who covers afghanistan is joining us live by skype in afghanistan, and i want to thank you both for joining us, but i want to start with you, jim, let's talk about bergdahl telling medical officials that he was locked in a metal cage and in darkness for weeks at a a time as punishment for trying to escape. our jim miklaszewski says he was subjected to harsh treatment, and what do you make of that and what does it mean about how long the reintegration process might be? >> well, the military has the formula to get him back to normal, but it is horrific conditions, and it shows the pressure that the white house was under to get the e negotiated release. certainly, they had some idea of the conditions he was in in the years from the intelligence and even through the negotiation. so they were faced with the hobson's choice, leave him there like the secretary said, and could he be kill or do we trade

him for the taliban prisoners who we might have had to release in six months to a year anyway if we could not charge them criminally. >> and i want to turn to you that we are also learning that sergeant bergdahl is not yet ready to talk to his parents. do doctors have said he k but it is up to him when that e feels appropriate, and what do you make of that and the latest reports we are hearing about his recovery process? >> well, we know it is very hard. we have heard accounts before, and i have interviewed people who have been held by this same group, the haqqani group, and also by al qaeda there, and it is very grim and very tough. it takes in my view years for them to adjust. our own reporter could tell you his own account. but no doubt, it is extremely tough. i have interviewed an ambassador who was there, and he is still can't tell all of the details several years later.

so there is no doubt that, that's been a grim experience for him. >> and jim, she is tauklking abt how it is going to be difficult for him and one thing that is making it tough for sergeant bergdahl's parents are that they are getting death fbi is investigating the death threats and what does the fbi have to do and how diskconcerting is that, and i'm guessing that you are not surprised by the threats. >> no, i'm not surprised by the threats and i have worked in the agency that we have worked the threat case, and i believe they will solve them, because it is going to be eare electronics xhupcations, and they will leave a trail like a loaf of bread right back to the person leaving the threat, and that is going to be an arrest, and that is the best deterrent, but it is not going to stop, since it is a big issue for the kun tcountry, but best way to stop more threats is to make some arrests on known threats. >> and so far, no arrests as far

as we know, right, jim? >> well, not yet, but i believe they will be probably able to track it down pretty quick. >> all right. turn to debate over the five released detainees over the weekend, and secretary of state john kerry trying to tamp down the political furor over the fact that the five detainees are is been released, and he says that the u.s. will continue to track them once they leave, and take a listen to what he had to say over the weekend. >> i am not telling you that they don't have some ability at some point to go back to get involved, but they also have the ability to get killed doing that, and i don't think that anybody should doubt the capacity of the united states of america to protect americans. >> meaning -- >> nobody. >> and what do you make of that secretary of state john kerry's comments. is he talking about drones? how is the u.s. going to continue to track these guys? >> well, he is talking about the drones, but we laugh, because we know that in some of the other people who have been released from guantanamo who have gone back to fight. and some of them are senior like

these men, and they, they go back to pakistan and they are not killed by drones. we have known quite a few of them at large and operating and managing the taliban. they survived, and they get off scot-free, because in large part the area they are based and the taliban operates from in pakistan, they are not subject to drone strikes. they are not living in wasiristan where the drones are, and they live in karachi and they are not in danger of the drone strikes or arrest from the pakistanis. so, it is seems to me incredible that five senior taliban people are just going to be in qatar for one year, and then they are free. i think that they won't be under any threats and the afghan

government and the afghans will be under threat from the men, because they are undoubtedly going to retain in the taliban movement. >> and jim, let me get your reaction to what she says, they won't be under any threat. what do you make of that? >> well, i think so. i think that she is right. when they were making the decision to do the swap, the commanders and the white house and the pentagon had to envision that some or all of the guys would return to the fight, because we know that from guantanamo before. but also, you know, it is like will rogers said, kristen, nobody is as good as they are supposed to be and nobody is as bad as they are supposed to be, and if they were so great, the taliban would have collapsed wholeheartedly when they were capture canned. >> but jim, does the u.s. have t the capacity to track them when they leave qatar which is a year? >> not anymore than anybody else. certainly, we can track the gps satellites and photographs and intelligence and human intelligence and lots of ways, but i think that eventually, we could find out if they are back

in the fight, and then decide, and determine what action we would take. >> all right. jim cavenaugh, and carlotta, thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. >> and today, hundreds more undocumented children are expected to be transferred to a crowded arizona warehouse, all in the plan to relieve overcrowding in texas. we will get a live report of conditions on the scene, and speak to a volunteer who is helping the children cross the border. and plus, shocking new allegations of the truck driver who police say that caused the deadly crash that critically injured tracy morgan, and this as we get an updated report on morgan's condition. and we will never see a triple crown winner because of the way they do this. this is the coward's way out. >> and that is the owner of california chrome going after the winner of the belmont stakes, and is he a sore loser or making a good point? that is the gut check on

"newsnatio "newsnation." stay with us. we will be right back. to map their manufacturings at process with sticky notes and string, yeah, they were a little bit skeptical. what they do actually is rocket science. high tech components for aircraft and fighter jets.

we're just their bankers, right? but financing from ge capital also comes with expertise from across ge. in this case, our top lean process engineers. so they showed us who does what, when, and where. then we hit them with the important question: why? why put the tools over there? do you really need those five steps? what if you can do it in two? whoo, that's an interesting question. ideas for improvement started pouring out. with a little help from us, they actually doubled their output speed. a hundred percent bump in efficiency. if you just need a loan, just call a bank. but at ge capital, we're builders. and what we know... can help you grow.

at least 200 more undocumented immigrant children are due to arrive at an already packed border patrol complex in arizona today, and more than 700 kids are currently being held at the facility in nogales, and the officials began to bussing them there by the hundreds last week, because the facilities in texas are overwhelmed by the unaccompanied children crossing the border. reporters have described rough conditions at the facility with kids sleeping on floors under foil blankets and the border patrol brought in portable toilets and showers this weekend, and investigators have visited the site and said that a

news conference could come any day now. in a statement, jan brewer says that i'm disturbed and outraged that president obama's ed administration continues to implement this dangerous, an inhuman policy, and meanwhile, ignoring the questions that demand answers. and so, set the scene there in nogales and set the scene for those kids arriving? >> well, kristen, we are outside of the border patrol in nogales where the kids are brought in. and over the weekend we saw the waves of buses coming in and out and loaded with children, and we are told that several buses actually arrived here around midnight and that more buses are expected today and in the days to come. and we had a chance to talk to a honduran consul yesterday about the conditions inside, and he is in there talking to the kids. l let's run a clip of that right now. >> the border patrol right now,

so far, they are are doing the best they can. they are really trying that. i i were not ready for this, and not ready to accommodate all of children, but doing their best, and again, they will get warm food, and different food and blankets and mattresses and shelters and doing the best they can right now give n the conditions. >> now, kristen, i don't know if you can see it behind me, but there is a bus going in and empty and not loaded up with the kids buck maybe picking up the kid kids. there is a process here, the border patrol picks up the kids, and they have 72 hours the process them and get them into the hands of the department of health and human services, but the process is slowed down by the surge. the facilities in texas are overwhelmed and bring ing ting kids here for processing and then taking them out to shelters, and the long term goal is to get the kids who they can do this with into the hands of the family members to await immigration processing. h this is something that is going on hour by hour, and it is going to go on for a long time. 47,000 kids is the official number of how many have been picked up along the border since october, but it is probably

quite a bit beyond that now, as this process continues, and this crisis is showing no signs of slowing down. >> yes, the numbers are stunn g stunning. mark potter, thank you for the report, and we appreciate it. the situation in nogales is one part of the larger immigration issue facing the state. the federal government has been sending entire undocumented families to arizona and leaving them at bus stations in tucson and phoenix since last month with everything that they own in pl plastic bags. joining me now is dan wilson who volunteers with casa mariposa, an organization to help those people in tucson, and thank you for joiping me, dan. so if you would, what are the conditions that you are seeing, and i know you are there working in tucson, but you are familiar with what is happening in nogales, and what do people need to know about the situation? >> yeah, for the children in nogales, and what we are hearing is that the conditions are improving and bringing in teams of doctors and more cots for kids to sleep on, but for the

women and the children being released from the ica detention, is that the conditions within the detention centers, those conditions are really bad. >> are some of the kids there getting services like vaccinations, medical needs met? what more do they need? >> a lot of the kids that are unaccompanied minors, they are getting vaccinations, and a lot of them are starting to see doctors which is great, but they need legal help. so they are sending department of justice is starting to send the lawyers down there to kind of begin the conversations to tell them what their legal process is going to look like in the future, but more the kids need to be reunited with the families and have that emotional support they need. >> let me read something to you from congressman carl roga who says it is crucial for the obama administration to act quickly an deploy all of the resources necessary to keep the children safe and help to reunite them with the family as our nation

works to repair this immigration crisis, it is a call to congress to act on imgragts reform. before we get to the issue of immigration reform, dan, how would you assess with the way that the administration is dealing with this? is the way they are dealing with this misguided or doing the best they can can in a really difficult situation? >> well, i think that they are doing the best they can, and we see ice releasing the families on the humanitarian role as a great step forward, but they have to be addressing the root causes of the migrations, and sort of be answering some of the bigger questions. we have seen a large increase of women and children crossing the border from central america for the past eight months, and so they should have seen it coming and prepared for the amounts of people, and obviously, they were not. >> and dan, we are running out of time, so quickly, as you know, immigration reform is stalled right now in congress. do you have any confidence that this crisis might pressure lawmakers to act on immigration

e reform or do you think it is effectively dead at this point? >> well, we are hoping to see the most vulnerable people, women and children and those most drastically affected by the stalled immigration laws, and we are hoping that these horror stories are going to force people to act, but we have to address why these people are coming here illegally and why they are coming here in the first place, and we have to answer those questions. >> yes, thank you, dan. and up next, the details of the crash that critically injured comedian tracy morgan. this is a great day turned tragic in seconds. >> tragic day, indeed. that is tracy morgan's stunned driver who managed to escape alive and up next, an update op morgan's recovery and the allegations of the driver who caused that the crash. and daniel murphy, the new york

mets' player who faced criticism over choosing his family over his job spoke out at the white house today, and it is one of the things that we thought that you should know. and a look at a what is happening today, monday, june 9th, at the white house, are president obama will announce executive actions to ease student loan debt and the movs s include expanding a 2010 law to cap the payments of 10% of the monthly income. and tonight, the house veterans affairs committee will hold a hearing for testimony of watchdog agencies about the wait list scandal. we are back after a quick break. it is time for the "your business" entrepreneur of the week. when kevin knight left the army, he decided to help other veterans assimilate into civilian life, so he started knight solutions. it is a contracting firm to help vets maintain and retain vet cemeteries. for more, watch "your business" saturday mornings at 7:30. new business owner, it would be

we are back with developing news out of new jersey after the deadly crash that left tracy morgan in critical condition. nbc news has e obtained the complaint that says that the truck driver charged in the crash had not slept in more than 24 hours. and meantime, morgan is more responsive today and showing signs of improvement. he was returning from the stand-up show in delaware with friends when a tractor-trailer slammed into the limo.

veteran comedian james mcnair known as uncle jimmy mac died in the crash and three others hurt. the truck hit the mercedes tour bus are from behind without warning and tossing it on the side into slow-moving traffic ahead. and we have ron allen outside of the new jersey courthouse with the lat est. ron, we are expecting a court procedure later today and what is the very latest on the investigation? >> well, kristen, it is delayed until wednesday of this week, and we don't know why, but that is the way that courts go. the suspect, mr. roper, kevin roper is out on bail, and he posted bail the minute after he turned himself in on saturday after this accident happened and so he is free on bail from jonesboro, georgia, and presumably he will be here wednesday to make that appearance, and the details in the complaint are stunning. to say that he is charged and alleged to be awake for 24 hours driving a truck, you can imagine that it is again, a whole day and night because of the

accident happening at 1:00 in the morning, which is a lot of time to be awake and we don't know how long he was behind the whee wheel, and we don't know whether he has said that to authorities or based on the reading of the logbook that truckers and commercial drivers are e requirrequir -- are required to have by law. and back at the hospital, tracy morgan in critical condition, but recovering as it seems and improving and better is the perhaps best word to use. we heard from the agent yesterday that he sustained brutal injuries of a proeken femur, and broken leg, broken nose, and broken ribs, and surgery to repair a broken leg, and they are predicting he will be in the hospital for several weeks to come. and there were two other patients, an assistant and another comedian in the van who are in critical kcondition as well, a and we don't have the update on the status. again, a horrific accident, and the police have said from the start that the driver of the truck allegedly did not slow down when he saw the traffic

ahead. or he didn't see the traffic ahead and he did not slow down in time. and one last point, the driver was driving a walmart truck, and walmart has said that if their driver is found to be responsible, they will take full responsibility of what happened and do right by the victim and their families. >> and ron, other people who were injured are friends and family of tracy morgan and it is having effects on that community? >> yes, the entertainment community is abuzz on the social media with thoughts and prayers for him, and he is a popular comedian, and "30 rock" and "saturday night live" is where people know him from. and there were drivers in the front and four in the back with morgan coming from the show in delaware up through new jersey and heading to new york where the accident happened. a lot of concerns burk yester sy in the evening was the first

substantial update of the injure treatment he was getting. so there is obviously concern and worry, but at least the word from the hospital was that, he was more responsive that day than the day before. so they seem to be be indicating that he was getting better, and also the, you can perhaps infer are from what they are saying that it appears he is going to survive the accident. it was horrific, and of course, one of the companions did die at the scene. >> well, that is one piece of good news that he is moving in the right direction in terms of the recovery. ron allen, thank you so much for the report. >> coming up, the unprecedented meeting at the vatican between the pope and leaders of israel and the palestinian authority and what they said about the peace in the middle east. plus, new reports say that the virginia gop is allegedly persuading a democratic senator the resign all in the efforts to expand medicaid under obamacare and this resignation puts on hold the control of the state

senate, a. it is a move that most have never seen before there. >> and a massive manhunt is under way for three men who escaped prison in a helicopter. it is one of the stories that ewith are following around the "newsnation." luckily, unitedhealthcare has a simple program that helps moms stay on track with their doctors and get the right care and guidance-before and after the baby is born. simple is good right now.

less than 24 hours from now, vo voters in five states will head to the polls which includes two southern states, south carolina and virginia. and according to the first read today, it is the precisely the south where the ongoing battle between the gop establishment and the tea party is mostly being fought. our political team also points out it is a fight that is largely being fought over the issue of immigration. with more on all of this, i'm joined by our nbc news senior political editor mark mur are ri. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, kristen. >> you talked about the establishment of the tea party is immigration reform, and how is that going to weigh in, in

south carolina and virginia when voters go to the polls? >> well, it is the big two issues of the two primaries that we are paying close attention to, and the first is lindsey graham in zsouth carolina and te big field of challengers trying to hit him on co-authoring the gang of eight legislation. and down in virginia, eric canter is getting a primary challenge from someone on the right who has not liked his views when it comes to having a kind of dream act, and support for moderate steps when it comes to immigration reform. and eric canterer has fired back saying that ehe has tried to stop president obama when it comes to amnesty, and kristen, so if you are looking at how immigration is almost a third rail in the republican politic, and that particularly in these establishment versus the tea party fights. >> any projections for the races? >> well, it is too early to say, but, you know, lindsey graham is looking like he may very well avoid a runoff and he has to clear 50%. there was a clemson poll out

last week that e showed him 49%, and all indications are that eric canter can survive the primary challenge, but it is something that is unwelcomed, and particular i for the republican house leader. >> mark, turning to the issue in virginia where the gop there convinced a state democratic senator the resign which essential blocks the democratic governor's efforts to expand medicaid in that state. what are you making of that, and what does it say about terry mcauliff's power over his own party there? >> well, kristen, a great story. the democrat who resiped is philip plunkett and changed the balance of power in virginia. there was a 20-20 tie, and the democrats held the tie-breaker, but with the resignation it is 20-20 to 20-19 with the republicans with the advantage all in the midst of a big medicaid expansion battle that terry mcauliff has tried to w e

wage. what is irking the democrats in all of this is that reportedly philip pluckette is resign iingo take over a job in the state tobacco commission, and his h daughter is getting a plumb positi position. so a lot of folks in virginia angry over this. we have seen the politicians switching the parties to change the balance of party, and i have never seen the situation where someone has resigned are from office to change the balance in power. >> and this is a first, mark, even for you? >> yes, i have never seen anything like this, and you remarked, kristen, what does this mean for terry mcauliff, but it does not help him in the medicaid expansion battle and l there are three republicans who are open for expanding the medicaid, but it is not good news for him, and it is going to remain to be seen how he moves forward, but it is a blow for democrats. >> thank you, mark murray. unprecedented meeting at the

vatican when the pope was joiedd by the pal stein authority president mahmoud abbas and the israeli leadership moan p-- leader shimon peres. and we are going to be hosted by our guests to discuss this meet i ing. i want to the start with you, rula, let me read something that the secretary of state cardinal said, prayer has a political strength that we maybe don't even realize and we should be exploited to the full. prayer has the ability to transform hearts and thus to transform history.

was yesterday about symbolism or were there some tangible things that came out of yesterday? >> well, definitely about symbolism. in this early phase two presidents, president peres and abbas knew each other since 1993, since they signed the auslet agreement, and we we saw a little bit of jerusalem saying it is the vibrant heart of the jewish state, and president abbas said it is our capital, and it is our holy land. i think that both of them understand the issues and how to address them, but peres is 90 years old. he is in the last term, and by being there, simply by being there is undermining the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu who is trying to

isolate abbas because of the feeling that the government has been doing and trying to tell the right wingers in his own country, that there is no way to peace. peace is what gandhi used to say. they both believe in a peaceful negotiated solution, two-state solution, but there are issues with abbas and hamas, and shimon peres with the right wingers, it is not going to go anywhere soon. >> and you bring up an interesting point of whether or not peres is undermining netanyahu, and so, weighing in on that, do you believe that peres is undermining netanyahu by at the ending the meeting yesterday? >> well, i believe that when pope francis invited them both, he was not doing politics, but prayer. he understands that religion above all is what is most important, and if religion is part of the problem, religion can be part of the solution in

the middle east. so i don't think that pope francis is the guy who pretens s to know the answers to the all of these questions, and in fact, the word humility always comes up with him, because he is humble enough to admit that i don't know how the fix this, but not surprisingly, he believes in praye prayer, and he says that if we can get together, and first just pray. and if you can pray first together, maybe that is the next step towards real peace which is what everybody says they want. >> and could this be the next step, rulla, because it is about incremental steps, and the peace talks are dead and secretary of state john kerry made a number of trips to the region and yet, they did not bear any fruit, so could this be an important incremental step, and i know you said it is mostly about symbolism. >> well, if it can be translated into public support of simone peres' ideas, and which ever side, that warfare did not lead anywhere and in 60 years of conflict, they did not reach a solution. it is only a political settlement of sharing the land and giving the palestinians, and

abbas said that palestinians are crave ing f craving for a justice and better life and state. and israel wants more security, and so can these two things come together in prayer and be translated to political will? yes, certainly. once they both understand that there is no way to fight each other and bump into each other into the middle ages like some of the ministers in israel said, that the only way out is through a negotiated issue. this is how conflicts end and history starts. >> and let's talk about the pope and his place in it, and those who have studied him say that this meeting is emblematic of the fact that he is an activist to some extent when it comes to e el dooing with tissues -- when it comes to dealing with the issues of poverty and what did we learn about the pope francis there? >> i agree with most people. he does have a political agenda, and it is clear from day one, to reform the vatican, reform the

scandals, but also to speak to the world whether they are atheists or homosexual or whether they are women, children, muslim, christian and jews and inviting both sides and praying in three language, and we never saw it before. we saw it the last time i think when pope john paul ii died. we saw people in the vatican praying in english, arabic and hebrew and italian and suddenly, the world is unified on the values. he is speaking about poverty and peace and justice and speaking to the people's minds and hearts and can these things be translating into political will? he has been more aggressive on fighting for four people than most prime ministers in the world. can he push both sides to end confli conflict? yes. plus, he is speaking for the persecuted minorities all over the world, and especially in the middle east today. >> and we are out of time, or i could continue it all day long

with this fascinating conversation. thank you, both, for the conversation. a man allegedly breaks into sandra bullock's home while she and her 4-year-old son were asleep inside. and police say it was not a random crime. and plus, hillary clinton is going to set a deadline on when she will announce she is running for president. it is one of the things that we thought that you should know, and we will be back after a quick break. ♪ ♪ [ girl ] my mom, she makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon. ♪
