running up and down that field looks tough. it's a pitch. get way more into what you're into when you stream on the xfinity 10g network. hello i'm chris dancing, and there's breaking news at this hour. the u.s. military launching

airstrikes overnight onto locations in eastern syria used by iran's revolutionary guard, and quote, affiliated groups. defense secretary lloyd austin saying in a statement that the stripes were a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against u.s. personnel in iraq and syria by iranian-backed militia groups. that began just over a week ago. and in those instances, millicent used drones and rockets to attack multiple u.s. installations in the region. the pentagon says those attacks left 21 americans with minor injuries. one u.s. contractor died of a cardiac event. now there is a precedent here. the u.s. is launched similar aitrikes including last march one another u.s. contractor was syria. by a malicious drone defense secretary austin described the launch aquote, self-defense. anin a statement called them separate and distinct from the israel hamas conflict. but of course, iran is a backer of hamas.

all of, it putting u.s. forces in a delicate position. trying to protect personnel while avoiding a larger war in the middle east. secretary austin put it in his statement, quote, if attacked by iran's proxies against the u.s. forces continue we will not hesitate to take further necessary measures to protect our people. let's go right now to nbc's courtney kube who is in washington d.c. with the latest. courtney what more can you tell us about the strikes? and we know what the targets exactly where? so we know a little bit more about the targets not. chris there were two facilities at two locations. one was a weapon storage facility, and one was a storage area so according to a senior u.s. military official, the individual could not tie a direct link to the actual weapon, mainly drones that have been used on these attacks against bases having personnel

over the last eight or nine days. the official couldn't say that those exact weapons were produced, stored at any of these locations but the officials did say that he is confident that the strikes will impact these iranian-backed proxy groups, to continue to attack u.s. forces. but the strikes would have that impasse. now the strikes were carried out by f-16s, two of 16's and the u.s. position guided ammunition to carry that out and one interesting thing according to a u.s. military official tonight is that they are still doing a battagram assessment. and they cannot say whether there were any casualties caused by the strikes nor whether there were any iranians presses at either of the location and why that's kind of striking to me, chris, is because the statement that we caught from secretary lloyd austin tonight was explicitly tying these facilities to the

iranian revolutionary guard corps and the groups supported by iran. and when i pressed this defense official and military official on iran's direct role in these attacks against u.s. nations, over the last weeks of the officials would not tie a direct link between iran directing those attacks. but they did call on iran to tell those proxy groups to stand down. so of course for our viewers who are totally familiar there has w been 19 attacks since october 17thgast facilities in iraq and syria. and far as we mentioned they have be largely unsuccessful that they have not caused mass casualties. thave en two dozen minor injuries and therewas one american contractor who suffered a rdc events in one of the airy drills. and so far the attacks have been largely unsuccessful.

now the concern here is if they continue one could be successful and then we could see a real escalation of the situation there. chris? >> so this is, as they see, a de-escalation tactic. but having said that talk a little bit about the conversations that have been going on since these u.s. service members and the contractor were injured and ultimately the contractor died of a heart attack, a heart event. and now when this action was taken, corton. >> so the hope here is that this will deter future attacks against bases. until one thing that we could look back on that need the evidence that this could work as a deteence is back in march ths a series of attack against u.s. bases, at the sa time and in thatas a u.s. contractor was killed by one of these attacks where the u.s. took a series of strikes in syria. very sito, is taking up faciliti that they said

stored, weapon facilities and there mighha been some places where these iranians houthi group were putting together weapons and that has had a react. so since march, the sort of activity has been virtually nonexistent. it all picked up again last week. last wednesday. when we started seeing a pretty said he's stream of these sorts of attacks. and i will say that these attacks have been largely marked by drones. so drones attacking the spaces. and again most of the individuals have been shot down by these defenses and one thing that is also striking is that we have seen drone attacks in the past. but most of the previous attacks have been hit by mortars, indirect fires and it's a tactic using these drones and that has been caught on recently. but the question is, will be deterred tonight strikes, and

future actions as they did in march and, again all we can do is watch and see. i will say that if we do see this consistent stream of attacks against the spaces i am confident that the u.s. military will continue to take strikes like we saw tonight. one thing that they are positive of is that they don't want to see as a tit-for-tat. they don't want to be seen as an attack on the base and the u.s. takes it strikes. but i am confident that they will continue to respond if they see the stages of attacks. chris? >> nbc,'s courtney kube staying up late with us tonight. thank you so much reporting from washington d.c.. i want to go now to nbc's andrea mitchell. obviously, andrea, the concern all along has been a risk of escalation in the region. they were very careful to say with the strikes that they are not directly related to the israel hamas conflict. but talk about the larger

concerns and the ongoing diplomatic efforts to make sure that things do not get worse. >> well that's exactly the point. chris that is the right question to be asking because tonight when these attacks were announced and the secretary of state was in a dinner meeting after ordering with his chinese counterpart and the high-level meeting was along a highest level chinese official to arrive in washington since the administration took office. and clearly this is in that setting up a bilateral meeting next month with the president coming to san francisco. nothing has been set, or announcer it's one of the purposes of this meeting. but importantly, what secretary blinken said at the united nations, on tuesday, was that when he met with will need this week and the means focused he's used to us tomorrow morning, he wanted to push china to talk to

him to pressure around not to widen the war between israel and hamas. china needs iranian oil does britley. and every conference that he ve potentially even u.s. es are more between israel and hamas would inevitably raise prices and potentially constrict iranian oil exports and certainly would affect china's economy. so very much in china's economic interest and pressure around the issue as a very corporate economic ties. and military and diplomatic did not get a gauge of this is part of the whole court at that secretary blinken has been engaged in not to have around opening with hezbollah or any other preparations because they

work in proxy. and hearing the iranian revolutionary guard, very closely connected to the part of the iranian government unaffiliated groups have the targets. and now senior administration official told me, tonight, when asked about how this could affect the diplomacy brought in my voice. the senior administration official said that this was directly at the turns as described by the pentagon. but there was directed by the iranian revolutionary guard to strike u.s. forces. so i spoke to the pentagon for what connecting it directly to retaliate. housing was a deterrence. and they would deter any further strikes against u.s. forces. >> nbc, news chief foreign

affairs correspondent, andrew mitchell. thank you for sharing with us all the information that you've been able to gather for us tonight. i want to bring in nbc news tyrone bureau chief and correspondent reporting from tehran, around tonight. elliott rousey. talk to me about what you're hearing over there and any reporting that you have from your sources on the ground. >> hikers, there hasn't been any reports here on iranian media about a mortar strike on the facilities. we've also been looking on all the websites that are affiliated and seen so far, and manchin. this is not something particularly unusual chris. iran has all of these proxies across this region. and one of the main areas that theyhave is in syria and they have the militias working for them. they also have the backing of the gornnt in syria.

so that's a stronghold for them. and over the years the u.s. and israel has numerousfacilities that they operate from in that region. but let's be very clear here, these are notfacilities that are sort of a commander. these will bel, for iran, syrian militias that and outdated and from time to time there would be supervision from iranian commanders. and when u.s. or israel has attacked any of these bases, the commanders have been killed and they have talked about. it so i think that this is the key right now in the coming hours to see who has been killed there. if the commanders were killed

and then to see if iran chooses a reaction to. that if senior iranian commanders were. their run would probably turn its head away because this has happened many times before but it's somebody quite high up within the iran nature reaction. but this is also clearly a warning from the white house, for iran not to try to open up another path. not to target u.s. interest in the region. and there have been a string of attacks by iranian militias in this region. almost 20 of them in the last ten days. kendis was a warning to the iranians who control, so all of these militias not to take things any further. we're gonna have to see what the iranian election will be. >> obviously, a key action alley, is whether the -- but one of the, things we've been talking about, if you had a chance to listen is that courtney kube was saying they were very specific about not saying that they could tie the

strikes against american troops to iran directly or at least they weren't given any indication of that. but i'm thinking about the meeting that was held, less than 48 hours ago in lebanon. the leaders of hezbollah, jihad hamas were all sitting under a photo. a very large photo of the ayatollah, right? >> that is right. not just -- who is the founder of this islamic resolution and his pre-descents or. and that's the clear indication that those and that's who they take order from's and that is who they get their money, their funding. everything from milan. and that's no big secret. i'm in the head of hezbollah has said that we take all of our orders. we take all of our spiritual direction from iran. hezbollah is an iranian creation. they created hezbollah in the

early 80s. and this is more closely connected. this is very and one with one another. and yes there may be times when people are correct when they say it is a direct order given from iran. but they don't need to give direct orders. there's an understanding between what needs to be done at what time. there's proxies that have been built up over decades. and then we know what to do. they are efficient. and they know what to do. and they know when the right time to strike is. and why it's necessary. and they don't necessarily have to have permission because there's a understanding of how to keep this region on edge and frightened of iran. and it worked so far. >> let me just ask you briefly,

we're just about out of time ali but do expect seeing that there is nothing so far would expect there to be any reporting on this regionally? and if so, if that does happen what would be the spin on it? >> the reporting would depend on the iranian access would that back. but if around the, and if there was a senior iranian commander they would probably reported that but it depends what their reaction would be. they have been other times on the u.s. has hit bases there and the iranians have turned their head away, not reported it. but when somebody senior has gone up there, they have reported. it and then the reaction would be either to turn their heads away and not do anything about it or set up attacks again with u.s. and threats with the region. and that's what would be determined in the coming hours today if there's a retaliation by militia and russia iran,

syria or anywhere else in that region against u.s. -- >> nbc news tehran bureau chief ali arouzi, thank you so much for joining us. and coming, up more on the u.s. and syria with military analysis with retired four star general and a national security expert. we'll be right back. l be right back. hey little bear bear. ♪ ♪ ♪ i'm gonna love you forever ♪ ♪ ♪ c'mon, bear. ♪ ♪ ♪ you don't...you don't have to worry... ♪ ♪ be by your side... i'll be there... ♪ ♪ with my arms wrapped around... ♪ why choose between a longer life or quality of life? you deserve both. and with kisqali, a treatment for people with metastatic breast cancer, you can have both. kisqali is a pill that, when taken with an aromatase inhibitor

targets in syria. it says, were used by iranian-backed militias that have struck at u.s. troops in the region with drones and rockets. u.s. officials are saying that attack on u.s. positions injured nearly two dozen americans. and the response is narrowly tailored and in self-defense. all of this as iran has that in the u.s. word support of the israeli offensive against hamas and gaza. the u.s. warning iran and the militia to back off. as tensions in the region remain very high. joining me now, retired four star u.s. army general barry mccaffrey, a veteran of the vietnam war. and former battlefield commander in the persian golf. kevin baron's editorial director for political live within expertise -- national security and foreign affairs. it is great to have both -- lead at night general. i want to read a little bit from secretary austin statement. in and he says, quote, iran wants to hide its hand and deny its role in the attacks against our forces. we will not let them.

did the administration under the circumstances, as you see, it, general have any choice but to respond? >> no. this has been going up 19 attacks and esseially in the next 10 to 15 days. 21 wounded, clearly iran was signaling to draw our attention with false reporters of israel. they have clearly orchestrating that hezbollah accordance in the north of israel, the hamas 30,000 potential fighters and the houthi militias and they have suc u.s. elements in both iraq and syria. they have been threatening to u.s. naval forces at sea. and so the biden administration, which i think did not want escalation of this war was essentially signaling the military power to stop it.

it is not over. this thing is going to get worse before it gets better. but i think within an appropriate response by secretary austin. >> well clearly, kevin, president biden had been under increasing pressure to push back on stronger supported by iran. and this week he did one around supreme leader that the u.s. would respond if there were further assault and in fact the u.s. officials that are folks talk to today said that more attacks, three more came today while meeting that 19 total that the general just talked about. but let me go back to the key question that aljabri raised. will these strikes at the intended impact? >> well if the impact is's as small as preventing strikes on key bases in certain areas. then in my. it is the impact that some commentators and reservoirs are wanting our some major shifts in the u.s. footing against around, then for now, no.

as you said the most recent attacks. quickly with all this news we're reminding ourselves that earlier today some people may have missed that there was an attack on u.s. troops, at the airbase in northern iraq because they stand. and that is a military facility at the edge of the international airport. i've been there and talk to troops and several years back during the i.s.i.s. wars. that recently as the end of the timber, a week before the hamas invasion, the united states had announced a color costa raid into northern syria to kill one of the leaders of i.s.i.s.. and those, right in the last several years have come from that base. and so there's an active war going on already. the i.s.i.s. war is not open. it's just a much, much smaller and it's in the background. and central command is trying to get some attention sits in the last year or so. so the retailer tory strikes

today follows specific strikes in northern iraq, incurred could stand. targeting at locations where the united states is fighting i.s.i.s.. and around us on the other side of that. so that's a loaded to, yes, it can be very narrow if that's all that the united states is trying to do for now. >> this is fireplaces general, that frankly people could not find on a map or should people have necessarily encyclopedia knowledge where u.s. military bases are. but kevin brings up a good point. and so if you could help us put it into context. these attacks against american forces, d.o.d. says that from october 17th through tuesday the u.s. and coalition forces were attacked at least ten separate times in iraq. three times in syria, they used a mix of drones and rockets a tuber 18th to separate drone attacks against the u.s. and coalition forces stationed at the al-assad base in western

iraq. and help us understand the real threat to these american forces and why being there is so important. >> of course the u.s. is not just a global leader but a major stabilizing force in the middle east. certainly we have vital security entrance and continue free flow in the region. we have been a long time alley of the dishonest as an economic necessity for western europe for japan and to some extent. and we're committed to the one democracy in the middle east israel. for standing behind their security. so these are vital u.s. national security interest. and we do think that it's important for us to underscore that the uranium to have a lot to lose if this war went high intensity. if the u.s. naval power and u.s. air force par, which turned against iran it would turn to another disaster for

the economy. so i think that there are some fortunately wrist draining influences on iranian actions. but what they do is they fight through proxies. the focus has remained on israel. how do we ensure the security of israel or on the edge of a major conflict. and i don't think the israelis have an option to go in on the ground to try and find hostages and eliminate the extent they can that hamas, political and military leadership. i think it's likely that we're gonna see hezbollah up the ante and to some extent try to draw the israelis intention on. the israelis have three divisions now facing lebanon. so the places a tinderbox. i think secretary blinken and austin are trying to keep cool heads and make sure that this doesn't escalate. >> and you can't look at this in any way shape or form an

installation. and they certainly didn't, in doing these strikes. so give us a look behind the curtains. what kind of intelligence gathering is needed by the u.s. before moving forward with a strike like this? >> you mean the united states and the u.s. knows where the attacks are coming from and you can tell that the talented strikes. there's been a few of these off the years. it just happens to be in the middle of a subpoena. like i, said this i.s.i.s., for the i.s.i.s. combat engagement, whatever it's called now is nonstop and so it will pair up to get these announcements from central command and there's been another raid. there's been such a specific target, or rocket that was launched and it was in baghdad. and a couple ofyears later, there was a retaliatory strike. so the u.s. keeps tabs on all of this. the bigger intelligence worry

is to what he's saying, and the larger regional civility questions. the universe is, lost we've known all of this. this is the most complicated web in the world where israel was on the verge of making and extending the abortion to more deals with their neighbors that were enemies in the last few decades. and all of that's been put on hold. the iran deal they have been not very successful but some glimmer of negotiation, in hopes that the u.s. could find its way back is a diplomat future was the run. it's a lot of geopolitical intelligence questions that i think are awarding people more than what they had no. we have more tax, come there would be similar to this. and then where attacks come

from from specific basis where troops are more vulnerable. and the last thing that anybody wants to see our american troops killed by iranian rockets that would require more italy shuns and a spiral that nobody wants. >> thank you so much for joining. me the retired four star u.s. army general and kevin bacon notorious director for political live with an expertise in the field. of defense, national security and foreign affairs. thank you guys. appreciated. and, after the break we're also following the major manhunt didn't mean for the suspect in last night shooting. we've got the latest on the search, coming up. search, coming up.

determine if it was used in the shooting. authorities and st. card and army specialist who never deployed to war had struggled for a long time with mental illness. a family member told nbc news card had begun to hear voices and that his mental health deteriorated quickly. yet another mass shooting, in the nation seemingly saturated by them in schools, supermarket, places of worship now bowling alleys. every day locations marked by the mains governor summed it all off at a press conference today. >> this attack strikes at the very heart of who we are. and the values we hold dear for this precious place we call home. this city did not deserve this terrible assault on its citizen, on a piece of mine, on its sense of security. no city does. no state. no people. >> as police continued their

search for the killer and more americans are asking themselves can we finally do something about the root of the problem? the question remains, our everyday tragedies like this going to continue to be normal? joining me now is former seattle police chief carmen bass, and nbc news law enforcement analyst. two former fbi agents join us as well. carl suede is a retired supervisory special agent. rob d'amico, a retired special agent who served on the fbi hostage rescue team. thank you all for being here. rob, it is unclear, completely unclear from everything we've heard from officials where the suspect might be. but the communities in the list in and near that area are sheltered in place. you have a big man hunt. so tell me what they're doing right now and what the most important thing is that they can do to try and track the sky down? >> right now the biggest thing is to try to determine when he

left that white subaru, did he get into another vehicle or did he go on foot? or there was actually a third possibility, it was by boat ramp. he had some boat experience because if he's in the vehicle, that search zone goes so much bigger as a post if you want on brown. and then they're looking. and then if he wanted both there's so many different things that's more restrictive. so they're really trying to determine how he got out of that area, was it preplanned? did he have a second vehicle there. did he know vehicles that he left his keys, and something like in pennsylvania and escaped when he just got in the vehicle that had keys. so that's where they also have to determine if they got a second vehicle did he go to the place or did he get on foot. i think part of it is interviewing the family. so he's gone through that mind about this whole scenario the ending included. so something is planning for

him to go. i would be looking if he had a fever campsite to go to. a hiking place to go to that he may be held up in. >> there was a large law enforcement presence at the home in bowdoin tonight. public records show that it's believed to be connected to robert card. the man hunt as we said huge ongoing at the hours that i last checked, they said they had 350 officers actively searching. talk to us from a police perspective in what they're doing right now. >> well they're searching for every piece of evidence that they can that might lead them to this person's whereabouts. they're going to look at any computers, laptops, paper works in that home. any evidence of any weapons, weaponry, registrations. anything that they can even names of france or other people that they might be able to

contact later on to help ascertain where he might be. at odds, they have to proceed with extreme caution because he had the job so to speak and it could've been booby trapped things like that. so they're going to go slow methodically to find out if there's anything that they can get that might help them understand where he is. and as much as before there maybe a certain place are a high place, something like that so they just want to make sure they check every nook and cranny for his whereabouts. are any clues to his whereabouts. >> so, carl i was thinking about the philadelphia escape the, right? he escaped from prison? he was on the run for the couple of weeks. actually broke into somebody's garage. he stole a weapon. they eventually got in and no one was hurt. but this is a whole different kind of challenge for them. this is somebody who has tactical training. this is someone who taught

other people how to should weapons. and in fact, people who took training from him who are reservist say that he was very, very smart. i'm very tactical. how does that change the game? >> well chris, every law enforcement officer that's working on this case, afternoon, it is putting their life at risk. robert card clearly has a high level of training. it's very evident looking at that picture how he's holding the gun. he looks like he knows how to handle that weapon. and the fact that he is an instructor means that he was able to pass all sorts of firearm qualification so he gets a good shot. he also understands tactic. he knows how to move. he knows how to use covered through different positions. the other thing is that he's going to understand military tactics. so he never will understand how to set up an ambush. i mean is very thickly wooded and as i understand he grew up in this area so he's on his home turf and that gives him an

advantage. he's going to know the best hiding places. and if you look at the case that you mentioned that guy had nothing with him, and nationally. and he was still able to hide offered two weeks. robert card on the other hand looks like he was fully prepared. so i think there's a lot of things that are going to play out. here whether turns out he's in the woods or if he broke into someone's home. and what's interesting is that there have been no sightings of him whatsoever in the last few days. so it makes me wonder, to robert's point, if he was able to get hold of another vehicle and leave the area or as he hunkered down somewhere. is he playing it smart? is he hiding in the day. moving in the night. and a third possibility, which i've seen on manhunts, he could've shot himself. there are people who have killed themselves and their bodies aren't found for quite some time. >> if we go back, if we, can to the philly case and in marine camps are key, right? we're talking about not being able to spot anybody.

those doorbell cameras were critical in figuring out where he might be. nearing the search area and then you could start to do a great surge. i mean right now is the grid to the entire state of maine which is enormous. you could put the rest of new england states inside maine. and nearly 1.3 million people on the fact that what you may be very familiar with or whether there's a boat waiting for him since he left his car at the thought. how big is the search area right now? and how do you narrow it down with a lack of cameras in the way there would be in a more suburban or urban environment? >> so, the big thing is that if you've got a vehicle, that just spreads out in that area. and so then you're going to have to look for a coup. and now you have technology. i actually would rather search for him at night in a very

sparsely populated area. because you're gonna use technology. you're going to use helicopters with thermal imagery and other things like that to get his location at a safe distance. and then you could set up tactics to surround him and restrict his movements. but the big thing is where do you start? you can search an entire state with the helicopter. but if you get it down to a certain area and you think is moving at night when other people are moving it's a lot easier to spot. but it's getting that first clue, like you said those ring cameras are great. the houses are so far off that they're not going to go into an area right at the front of the door unless he's going into cabinet. and then also he probably watched that man hunt. and he knows what cameras did for that on. so i guarantee it's going to be a lot tougher and you just have to get that first clue. right now they're doing it in broad areas and trying to get that lucky clue. >> there's a couple of things

we haven't talked about and the longer this goes on, right, he's exhausted but i would assume also the searchers that there's a lot of strain on this community. this is a very tight-knit community. many of the people who work beyond the search for members of that community. and the fact that you have a suspect who has history of mental illness. so how do those things play into it? >> absolutely chris they're going to be worried about it as achieve i know i had things that i was always worried about, presentation, relief and making sure we had fresh eyes, fresh people. everyone has to be on high alert. you can't have people tired, out trying to search. so making sure that they stay coordinated in that regard. there's a clean handover if you. we'll so that they could take over another person to get some rest and go through to the next day and as you note all-hands-on-deck when you have to start rationing out resources so that they can be

fresh to do a good job. clearly, you don't know how this is and we don't want the tv on anybody to affected. and also the community is intrigued. and you just need a lockdown like this. they're ready for over a day. and we don't know how many days it's going to last and it has an effect on the community as, well so you have to remind them to stay resistant and strong until we can find this person. >> that's the other question. everything is shut down carl. university shut down, you have businesses shut down. i was reading the local paper tonight. and they were talking about how the streets were empty and how period is. so that's a consideration right. the longer this goes around, does history tell us? does experience -- the longer it goes on the harder it is to find him or how this timing plea into this? >> this can go on a very long

time. historically there's been manhunts that have taken a long time. i think that the infamous look from atlanta, back in 96 it took many, many months to capture. him so much that he was hiding in the woods in north carolina and in that case we've got a lucky break. there was a patrol officer that was out at night, and saga dumpster diving. stop the, guy and turned out that was eric rudolph. so everybody just needs to keep their head on so including the public. i also think that the boston bombing, their surviving terrace and the boston bombing he was found because he walked down and somebody notice that the color on their boat had been pulled. off and he went out to take a look, and saw some bloody handprints on, that he took a quick peek inside and that's when he saw him and called 9-1-1. to hopefully the public is keeping their eyes out for anything that suspicious. obviously we want them to be safe and heeding the police

wanting to stay home. but obviously if they see something they need to call 9-1-1. >> yes i covered that bombing and one of the things i remember very vividly is for all the technology and manpower, in the, and it was that one alert citizen who changed the trajectory of everything. carl, shelley carmen, rob, thank you very much for staying up late with. us appreciate it. and with those main communities on edge i'll be talking with a local journalist about the impact, the violence and now the man hunt is having on the state that he has covered for years. i'll be right back. did you know most dish soaps don't remove all the grease, even with scrubbing? whaaat? i just cleaned those. try dawn platinum. it removes 99% of grease and food residue. that's why dawn is trusted to save wildlife affected by oil. dawn platinum cleans to the squeak. hi, my name's steve. thi lost 138 pounds on goloto save wildlife affected by oil.

tell you. what's yours today? >> i think it really is the story, chris, of a man that was in the bowling alley where the shooting happened. and he was there. he loved to bowl, we love to ball with his wife. and he actually organized a lead for children. and that's what was happening there last night in the bowling alley. there were children there bowling. he was. shot he was shot, killed by the suspect and he died saving the lives that were in there in the bowling alley. and the children he's, bought they were trying to save their lives. and he died in the process. and the people who i talk, to who knew him about what a warm soul he was a generous person, how loving he was and they can't imagine that this would happen to him. and all of them as they were gathering for the night, again,

chris children bowling as the suspect came in and started shooting people. and what they were doing inside to try to save their own lives. there was another man who was running down the bowling lane and getting up into the mechanism that was used to raise and lower those pins. from inside that bowling alley goes to the story that will stick with us to a lifetime. >> heartbreak for everyone in that community. thank you so much for staying up and sharing those stories. i think it's so important for people to understand what really happened there. thank you. i'm chris jansing in new york. the coverage continues after a break. es after a break. but here i am... being me. keep being you... and ask your healthcare provider about the number one prescribed h-i-v treatment, biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in many people
