and they decided to head for cover. little strong language there. let's head to pompa, texas. we have got another tornado to show you. you can see the funnel right there. and we also had a lot of heavy rain to talk about. we were talking about this. this is sam houston community college. they had actually so much rain build up it blew out a glass wall and caused massive flooding in the student rec center. a real mess. today we've got the same areas under the gun. we have this upper level low that's spinning and it isn't attached to anything. it's what we call a cutoff low. so it's going to meander and cause problems. we have a risk of severe weather stretching from kansas all the way down into texas. an enhanced risk from san antonio, houston, corpus christi. then saturday again same area under the gun for more tornadoes. possibility of hail damaging

wind and torrential downpours. look at the flood watches and flash flood watches from texas all the way to the florida panhandle. local amounts, 8 inches along the gulf. and it spreads up into the midwest. we're talking about rain that's going to go right into the weekend. flooding problems. and we've also got snow to talk about. the rockies, some places getting up to two feet of snow. take a look at this in a bit. >> thanks. there are new questions being raised about that reserve deputy in oklahoma charged with manslaughter who said he mistakenly shot a suspect with his gun instead of his taser. we will talk to him exclusively in just a moment. but first nbc's gabe gutierrez has the latest on the case. >> reporter: good morning. pa state lawmaker is calling for an independent investigation into the reserve deputy program. this as the sheriff's office is conducting its own internal review. this morning questions are swirling about tulsa reserve

sheriff's deputy bob bates' training. before the 73-year-old said he accidentally shot and killed a suspect in an undercover sting operation. on april 2nd bates was acting as backup as a body camera captured deputies chasing eric harris. bates said he thought he was pulling out his taser but instead fired his gun. that explanation has outraged some. >> if he had as much training as he supposedly had, he would definitely know a .357 from a taser. >> reporter: a summary of state records shows bates had almost 300 hours of training since 2008. >> he is well in excess of what you would anticipate someone would have that was meeting minimum requirements. >> reporter: but the sheriff acknowledged in a radio interview this week they have not been able to find all of his

gun certification records. >> we can't find the records that she supposedly turned in. and so we're going to talk to her to find out for sure if he did qualify for those. >> reporter: now citing multiple unnamed sources, tulsa world report said supervisors were ordered to falsify training records. some who refused were transfer transferd to other positions, the paper claims. it has not been verified by nbc news. the sheriff said we don't respond to true mor. bates is charged with second degree manslaughter and is free on bail. he's expected to be arraigned next week and his attorneys say he attempts to plead not guilty. matt? >> gabe thank you very much. reserve sheriff's deputy robert bates is with us now exclusively along with his wife charlotte and his daughters kathy and leslie and his attorney mark

brewster. thank you for joining us. >> good morning, matt. >> mr. bates, i want to talk about your training and training records in a second. but i want you to take me back to april 2nd the day this all happened. you were not to be actively involved in the arrest of mr. harris. you were supposed to provide support from several blocks away but you did get involved in the struggle. you write in your written statement that you were not sure whether he was armed and you say that you saw, quote, a brief opening to use your taser to subdue him. take me back to that moment. >> matt i was actually parked down the street at a sinclair station several blocks away from where the activity took place. in other words, the drug buy of dope and the gun purchased. he decided to bolt from the undercover's truck and he came to me. i had two other cars that were in front. i was the last car.

i carried the equipment that the deputies use to clear a scene, whatever. i've been involved in several hundred of these. i do clean up when they're done. i take notes. i take photographs. and that's my job. >> and when you got involved in this struggle mr. bates, did any of the other deputies or officers say help us? tase him? use your taser? >> no matt. i yelled taser, taser as required in training. the deputy below me ducked he pulled away from it so that i could. now, i've never, you know -- first and foremost let me apologize to the family of eric harris. you know this is the second worst thing that's ever happened to me or first that ever happened to me in my life. i had cancer a number of years

ago. i didn't think i was going to get there. luckily i was able to go to a hospital where i had hours of surgery. i'd rate this as number one on my list of things in my life that i regret. >> let me ask you to do this. would you stand up for me for one second and show me where on your body when you are in your uniform you keep your taser and where you keep your weapon your revolver? can you stand up and show me? >> sure. you bet. my todayer is right here on the front tucked in a productive vest. my gun itself is on my side normally to the rear. >> and people are going to look at that mr. bates, and say how could you make this mistake? how could you think you were going for your taser on your chest tucked into that vest and accidentally pull your weapon? >> let me say, this has happened a number of times around the country.

i have read about it in the past. i thought to myself after reading several cases, i don't understand how this can happen. you must believe me it can happen to anyone. >> you yelled taser, taser. you mentioned the other deputy ducked and cleared so you could use your taser. and then you heard that gunshot. what were you thinking when you heard the shot? >> oh my god. what has happened. the laser light is the same on each weapon. i saw the light and i squeezed the trigger. and then realized and dropped the gun. this was not an intentional thing. i have no desire to ever take anyone's life. >> you can be heard on that tape saying i shot him, i'm sorry. and there's a lot of emotion in your voice. what was the emotion? was it sorrow? was it shock? was it fear for the repercussions of what you had just done? >> matt i never considered the

repercussions of what i had just done. it was shock. i can tell you it stayed with me for a number of days. i'm not at all sure it's not still with me today. lack of sleep, inability to concentrate, all of those plus more. you know i still can't believe it happened. >> mr. bates, in the wake of this incident, you have been portrayed as a wealthy and generous supporter of the sheriff's deputy and a close friend of the sheriff who has been rewarded for your financial support with the opportunity and this is what's out there, to play cop and carry a gun. is that a fair characterization? >> that is unbelievably unfair. i have donated equipment as i saw fit. when the need happened to arise

to allow the task force and other areas of the sheriff's office to better do their jobs on the street of tulsa. tulsa has a drug problem. there is no question. nobody argues that. i am willing to put up equipment to assist them to better educate the public. i deal with young people all the time matt. 13 and 14-year-old kids using heroin. you know i talk to them once we're done and try to gain an understanding of, you know, why. why has this happened. i was a policeman in tulsa and there wasn't heroin. that was in new york city chicago problem. not here. >> let me get back to this story now that's been reported by the tulsa world based on anonymous sources and by the way unconfirmed by nbc news that supervisors in the sheriff's department were ordered to

falsify your training records and give you credit for field training and firearm certification that you did not deserve. how do you respond to those allegations? >> that is not correct. i have a written piece of paper that a mr. warren crittenden now in prison had signed off to say i had done a good job. you know the law firm has been most interesting. they seem to represent all the people that have been terminated by the sheriff's office -- >> without getting off on a tangent, you did the training and you can prove that you were >> that is absolutely the truth. i have it in writing. >> matt if i may address this briefly, that point. the so-called evidence of

falsified training records comes from a person that was terminated by the sheriff's office seven years ago. he signed an affidavit. mr. bates would have been with the department as a reserve just about a half a year or a year at that time. so seven years ago that's their evidence. and he is a person represented by the firm that's representing the family and he has a year ago been charged with first degree murder. so the credibility of the witnesses should have been -- or that particular witness should have been weighed carefully by press outlets before running that story. >> mr. bates, let me end on this. you've been charged with second degree manslaughter. you face up to four years in prison. have you allowed yourself to think about that pos >> certainly. how could i not? >> robert bates, mr. brewster and the bates family thank you for your time this morning. and of course we will be following this story.

no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. you may be able to get up to 12 months at no cost. back now at 7:50. can you feel it? can you feel the excitement? preparations in full swing for the much anticipated arrival of william and kate's second child. keir simmons is on royal baby watch at buckingham palace. keir good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there's a flag flying over buckingham palace that tells us the queen is not here. today maybe no baby. but when he or she comes an easel will be put at the gates and announcement on social media. the proud parents coming soon to the same hospital in west london. royal baby the sequel.

>> announcer: "today's" parenting team is brought to you by johnson's.. >> now to today's parenting team. sanity savers to help you manage the craziness of raising kids. we're talking about everything i can relate to all these things. with three moms and "today" contributors first up we're dealing with six kids. amanda good to have you here this morning. i've got three kids. you've got two kids. inevitably they're going to get sick especially at a young age. let's start with kids and the taste of medicine. >> a little bit of chocolate goes a long way. >> chocolate? >> chocolate fixes everything. >> you're kidding me. >> all you need to do is take a couple of chocolate morsels. let the chock let melt on their tongue. so all they taste is the tweet chocolate and not the medicine. >> you do that first. >> yes. give them the yucky medicine and chocolate fixes everything.

>> how about the lollipops? >> i take a lollipop and dip it in the medicine and i let her lick the lollipop. and she's getting the medicine off every time she licks the lollipop. when she's done she gets a lollipop and mom gets one too. >> that's good for cough syrup. >> right. >> i've got three kids. inevitably i'm worried about one passing it to the other. what is the solution to keep your kids from trying to keep them from getting sick? >> i think the best idea is keep them separated and maybe hope for the best. it's probably inevitable it's going to happen. >> what about ear aches? >> ear aches -- for ear aches, the great thing to do is to create your own heating pad. a sock fill it with the coarse salt. add a little bit of lavender tie it off. heat it up in a skillet for a minute or two. it's like a heating pad they can put on their ear or soar. you don't have to worry about plugging it in or burning them.

it'll feel good on their face. >> what about sick kids at night and their sheets? >> if you've got tummy trouble and big messes ahead, you've got to -- >> that's the way of putting it. >> think lasagna. you want to have layers of towels and layers of bed sheets. couple different layers. if you have to go in for a cleanup, strip off the top layer and underneath the bed is clean and it's made. they can get into bed, get back to sleep and you get ready for round two. >> think lasagna there. be preemptive. smart. thank you so much. >> keeping your kids organized and getting them to help around the house is a chore in itself. but guess who's here with me. bree smith who's the mother of a toddler. bree hi. >> hi good morning. >> we want to keep our kids busy. off clever way to play with. >> this is great for infants and babies. they're called sensory bags.

super easy. zip lock bag, hair gel, non-pointy toys wrap it with duct tape. these are great. they actually -- you can't not poke it right? >> right. and you're worried the gel may ooze out of there, but it's safe enough? >> double bag. of course you don't want to give something to a baby and not supervise. >> all right. so kids inevitably have crayons and little toys all over the place. you found a great way to store them with baby wipe containers. >> washed. those toys when you step on them they hurt. little toy cars. these are great. you can decorate them. and little hands fit perfectly in here. >> clever. >> yeah. great way to keep them organized and when you go visit, go over to auntie hoda's house, you get one box to take with you. >> kids like to help with chores. this is a good way to sort for the kids. >> you add one person to your household and it seems like you

added ten when it comes to laundry day. make them sort. they get a white basket color basket. >> they're learning already. instead of taking away the electronic device take away the charging cord. that's playing with their brains. >> essentially it reinforces good decisions. instead of taking away the device you've still got it. you have to ration how you're going to spend the 60% -- >> i'm already hyperventilating. but you can use your device if you want to use it. >> just you ration it out. kids love to pour things. let me pour let me pour. and it inevitably leads to a mess. bree figured something to stop this. >> an open addition washer door is toddler height which is genius. if they want to poor their own juice, you just open the door and let them poor as much as you want. >> oh look.

it's in the dishwasher. >> oh look. it's gone. >> hocus-pocus, bree. all great. all right. thanks so much. let's head back down to carson. >> that's in the book i'm sure. thank you, hoda. appreciate it. last but not least, hassle free ways to get your kids out the door in the morning. this is a mother of three and also great author. her words not mine. fathers are blank holes. it's not your fault. excellent title. >> thank you. >> let's get right into it. mornings is like oh my gosh. deet geting breakfast is a challenge. >> mornings are hectic. what i suggest, set the places all the night before. when they say i don't want this spoon and cup, it's all set up. you can use a pizza cutter to cut their pancakes and toast. >> to make it more fun. >> and easier to clean up. >> getting kids dressed is a chore to say the least. what do you got? >> toddlers are picky. they want to dress themselves

and no one has time for that drama in the morning. they pick it out because they want to make that -- they're little dictators. keep that in mind. they make the decisions. lay it out the night before. it almost looks like something left behind. and they love seeing the little layout on the floor. and they're ready. done. >> what is this contraption here? you said this saved your life. >> it did. these are l.e.d. clocks for kids. children like to rise before the sun b. you'll find yourself at 3:30 a.m. watching jake and the neverland pirates. >> that happens all the time. >> these clocks say when it's time it's okay to see the family. you can get up. >> it makes them feel like it's okay. >> now it's okay. >> i'm going to take these two for my children take those home. how about the binkies? people are stuck on them. >> this is a judgment-free zone. if your toddler is still using a pacifier and needs it that's fine. just always have one on you. the last thing you want to do is be in the grocery store and your

kid screaming like it's possessed. keep one on you at all times. >> be sure to pick up the book. or just go to the website and read up on all of our contributors there. and woel have a new question for you to weigh in on. what's the best life lesson your mother taught you? share your stories by going to today.com/parentingteam. coming up we'll make a family meal a lot easier. there she is. my lovely fiance. we've got a super simple skillet supper with siri. but first this is "today" on

back now at 8:43. sunday marks the to20th anniversary of the oklahoma city bombing. it killed 168 people and left

hundreds more wounded. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, hoda. it's been a special experience coming back after 20 years reconnecting with survivors. you may remember the extraordinary rescue of dayna bradley from the building. but she has rarely talked about it. she and her sister felicia both survived the bombing and you'll see they're still recovering all these year two sisters on a 20-year journey. a hard past for extraordinary survivors with a wish. >> i'm still trying to get my life back. >> reporter: but normal as they knew it ended when a truck bomb exploded in oklahoma city april 19th 1995. >> i was terrified. i was screaming for help. >> reporter: dana bradley and her sister felicia had been running and error at the federal building that day. both suffered debilitating

injuries slow to heal. >> i cried a lot. one part of my pain was the burn. >> reporter: and this photo showed dana pinned under rubble. the only way out was almost unthinkable. a doctor would do a battlefield style amputation. >> i told him do what you have to. >> reporter: you wanted to live. >> i wanted to live. >> reporter: but there was more. they had not gone to the building alone. their mother and dana's two small children were killed. >> i lost my best friend. my mother was everything to me. >> reporter: both sisters lost a physical part of themselves. dana's leg and felicia lost her ear. now after waiting 20 years, felicia finally received a prosthetic ear. do you mind showing it to us? >> it's a blessing to me.

see, i got an earring. i'm real cute now. beautiful. >> reporter: for sister dana a different kind of change. she had never returned to the bombing site until now. >> it's mom. >> reporter: finally seeing this memorial and the chairs in honor of her mother and two babies. >> they're beautiful. i'm happy to see their names are there. >> reporter: two sisters who shared the will to survive. what do you think you've accomplished here? >> i have accomplished about 20 years of fear and success. >> reporter: and the courage to keep living. >> i like it because i'm with her and we're together and we're doing it together now. >> reporter: and it was really quite something to watch dana see this place for the very first time and now to be able to share it with her sister for many years to come.

if you notice her pronounced limp that's in part because her prosthetic leg is outdated it doesn't fit well and she's never been able to get a new one. we were able to help her meet up with experts here in oklahoma city. she's hoping the attention around the bombing may help her get a leg that works better to keep her recovery going. >> absolutely. >> people who saw that piece there should step up to the plate and help her out. >> i have a feeling someone will. >> we'll have more on this on "today" and on "nightly news." we're back in a moment but first this is "today."

all right. we're back at 8:49 with our final super simple skillet supper. in my own humble opinion we've saved the best for last. my lovely fiance siri is here.

i call her bingo. don't let that throw you. >> one of our favorite dishes from one of our restaurants. when we moved cross country last year, we were a little worried about our son's adjustments. he was 5 years old. the first thing he saw in our town benny hanna. he was like california a wha? >> it's hard to replicate those recipes. >> this is a simple shrimp and noodle stir fry. right now we have mushrooms and zucchini in the skillet. add the green onions. >> they have a prakogram there where you can be she chef. i did it and cooked the entire meal for our whole family. it was super fun. there i am there. but you learn all the tricks. >> okay. now what? >> this is going to saute for about five minutes. for now we can transfer them into our bowl and we'll work on the shrimp. >> transfer them to the bowl.

just dump everything in. >> dump it into your bowl. and then we're going to add just a little bit more vegetable oil right here. just a little drizzle. >> okay. all right. >> you've already got some oil in the pan. and we're going to add our shrimp. >> you deveined it taken the tails off. >> siri did. let's be honest. >> i had them take the tails off this. you want to try one of the tricks? there's the lava onion, the beating heart. i did them all. you take the tail of the shrimp with your spatula. we're going to try to flip it and try to catch it. i'll go first. one, two, three. >> you did it! >> up high. go hope hoda. >> almost.

>> come on. >> very close. >> oh! >> the shrimp only takes a minute or two to cook. you want them sort of pink. we're going to throw everything back in the skillet at the end. so you want just a minute or two on each side. and so they sort of curl. i can't believe you just did that by the way. >> it's still in my hat. i'm going to keep it there all day. >> all right. >> then we're going to add everything back together. these are japanese udon noodles. >> these are cooked? >> cooked. we're going to put everything back in here in the skillet. >> did it take you awhile to figure out how to recreate the flavor? >> you know after going there maybe 45 times and every celebratory meal ever you get the -- >> she's like the norm and cliff

of benny hannah. when she walks in they go bingo! >> the most important part is the garlic butter. you've seen them slather it on there. >> don't kid yourself everybody. it's garlic butter. >> it's just softened butter with minced garlic. so we're going to throw that in there. and then chicken sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. to make a thick sauce, turn up your heat a little bit and it will concentrate it. >> there you have it there. i like hot sauce on mine. >> that's delicious. >> siri awesome. really good. >> nice job, bingo. >> can you make an egg roll? >> yeah. >> push it. >> there we go. go to the website today.com. and thank you, bingo. job well done.

>> thank you. >> we're back in a moment but first this is "today" on nbc.

past. >> here's a picture of a very odd looking han solo. >> i love yoda. >> wow. look at that. my goodness. >> so we will be in costume in line with everyone that day. can we zip past the rest of the year and to that? >> that we're excited about. this we're not so excited about. video of espn reporter britt mchenry berating a tow company employee. this is an edited portion of what she had to say. her car had just been towed from a parking lot of a restaurant. she went to pick it up. >> i'm in the news sweetheart i will [ bleep ] sue this place. >> that's fine. i'll play your video so careful. >> i wouldn't work at a [ bleep ] place like this.

makes my skin crawl even being here. yep that's all you care about is just taking people's money. with no education, no skill set. just wanted to to clarify that. do you feel good about your job? so i could be a college dropout and do the same thing? why because i have a brain and you don't? >> don't say that. >> maybe if i was missing some teeth they would hire me, huh? oh like yours because they look so stunning. because i'm on television and you're in a [ bleep ] trailer, honey. lose some weight baby girl. >> espn suspended her for one week. she did apologize on twitter. this is part of it. in an intense and stressful moment i allowed my emotions to get the best of me and said some insulting and regrettable things. as frustrated as i was, i should always choose to be respectful

and take the high road. i will learn from this mistake. we spoke to someone in mchenry's camp who says the tape can be edited. and it doesn't show the complete version of events. but either way this person said they're not justifying her actions, they just want you to know it may have been moving around a bit. >> what is moved around? >> maybe her reaction is to something else that was said. >> so they're saying the woman caused her to react that way? >> they're not justifying it. >> and there is no justification. whether or not she knew there was a camera recording which she did because the employee said it but still. you don't talk to people like that. >> you can express frustration. my goodness i'm so mad my car got towed. but the poor lady she's doing her job. then you start talking about her physical appearance. and economic situation. her education. and in her tweet apology, maybe she has apologized to the worker i don't know. but at least in the tweet, i don't know it's 140 characters

but it would have been nice to see one saying by the way i did apologize to this woman. she's a human being. it is hurtful. >> i was riding my bike yesterday. i was at a bike and i heard something just foul language just berating somebody on a customer service line on the other end. forget about treating people with respect and as human beings. do you think that's going to really help you? >> that's what i say. >> with what you're looking for? >> when you see that kind of behavior do you feel a responsibility to do anything about it? to call people out a little bit? because we're doing a whole "dateline" series about this coming up. it's hard. if you see somebody being abusive to say something. >> physically abusive, i think i would. my mother says i have this savior complex. if i say something the next thing it's escalated to why are you talking to that person way. and if they are aggressive then it picks up. physical i'm going to help

anyone. >> when i've been on the subway and heard kids using foul language i say do you really want to use that? and they tell me to blank off. >> and you just walk away. >> but you know maybe they'll think about it when they get home. they'll say you know that jerk al roker. >> your point, do you think someone will respond in a helpful way when you're attacking them? if she's upset about her car tow towed away be l that help the situation? >> no. >> but we're all in that situation where you get to a point you just feel like you can't take it anymore but you don't treat people like that. >> we're all human. this next story shows that. pat mccrory. >> we're behind. i'm with duke university. >> excuse me. that was on camera. ta-da! >> yes.

that my friends, grace under pressure. >> that is grace under pressure. >> he was under the table. >> it's all about how you react. >> he could have been embarrassed but he went and had a good time. >> nicely done. >> that should be the hash tag today. all how you react. that's a good thing. lucy teach you that? >> of course. >> you have lots of weather to talk about today. >> we do. we got this low pressure system not going anywhere. what we call a cutoff low because there's no steering mechanism for it. so it is stuck. and so it's creating severe thunderstorms today. we could be looking at tornadoes in san antonio, houston, corpus christi. then hail, damageing winds. and tomorrow more of the same. veer thunderstorms down in houston, corpus christi. could see tornadoes out of these. and heavy downpours stretching from texas all the way to the florida panhandle.
