7:03 am
story on a monday morning. breaking news out of texas. overnight two gunmen killed after a shootout at an event showcasing drawings of the prophet muhammad. this morning officials are looking into a possible link to isis. jacob rascon is in garland, texas. what's the latest? >> reporter: good morning. it's been a long night in garland, texas. right now a team of fbi agents are 50 yards behind me combing the scene. police helicopters are flying overhead. police are blocking sections of the city. they've been here all night and the investigation is really just getting started. >> inaugural muhammad exhibition. >> reporter: organizers called it a free speech event. $10,000 to the best cartoon depicted muhammad. just as the event was wrapping up two men opened fire on the building shooting unarmed police
7:04 am
officer bruce joyner. police fired back killing both suspects. >> they saw what was happening and engaged the two men and shot and killed them at the scene. >> reporter: the moment the police alerted the crowd on video. >> we have independent law -- >> who? >> okay. shots just got fired. >> we don't know that for a fact. >> reporter: while outside, witnesses say they heard the shots. >> i thought it was fireworks. my wife said no that's gunshots. >> reporter: police rushed attendees inside and evacuated surrounding businesses. >> police officer has been shot. two suspects have been shot. >> reporter: they searched for explosives as helicopters watched from above. a tweet three minutes before the meeting with #texas attack might have been a warning though that's unconfirmed. according to reports, the same account which has since been suspended posted a series of messages supporting islamic
7:05 am
extremism included isis. the controversial event sponsor sponsored wrote after the attack this is war. this is a war on free speech. the motive and religion of the gunmen is not known for sure. the governor of texas has come out with a statement calling this a senseless attack. and a local muslim leader tweeted after the attack saying the muslim community stayed away from the event. this appears to be a lone wolf type of attack. quote, just what we didn't want. >> all right. thank you very much. as a former fbi official don berelli has information on where this investigation might be headed. . good to see you. we don't know who they are. we don't know if they're affiliated with a group although the tweet, quote, texas attack did come out three minutes beforehand. and we understand that hash tag is gaining popularity among supporters of isis online. what jumps out at you?
7:06 am
>> i would want to know how much ahead of time did that start getting traction. is it all after the shooting so isis is trying to claim credit after the attack? or was there some information out there online that might have given investigators some lead as to you know an attack was imminent. >> one of the things that jumps out at me is they opened fire on the building where this was taking place. a security guard was injured in the leg. we're happy about that. when i go back to charlie hebdo and they carried out that attack with military precision. they had a high level of training. that's not the case here. >> it doesn't appear so. those guys moved tactically. they reloaded weapons, did reconnaissance of the target. this seems to be more ad hoc, if you will. maybe not as much planning and the fact it was over in 15 seconds speaks to the level of competency. >> because of the controversial nature of this event, where it
7:07 am
was basically a contest. people were drawing cartoons of the prophet muhammad for prize money, police presence was heavy. would the counterterrorism community been paying close attention to this as well? >> absolutely. the keynote speaker was on an al qaeda hit list. in light of what happened in copenhagen and paris. the fbi and local police would have a presence. they would be canvassing before the event to figure if something might be imminent and monitoring threats. the increased police presence was warranted and was on point in this. >> don, thank you very much. appreciate it. meantime now turning to politics. this is a big day in the next presidential race. the gop field getting bigger. carly carly fiorina.
7:08 am
>> i'm running for president. >> our founders never intended us to have a professional political class. they believed that citizens and leaders needed to step forward. we know the only way to reimagine our government is to reimagine who is leading it. >> fiorina served as a campaign surrogate for john mccain during his 2008 presidential race. a very familiar face. >> other news in that area also entering the republican race today neurosurgeon dr. ben carson. he is the first african-american to join the 2016 field. he's never held public office but he did rise to conservative prominence after criticizing president obama's health care policies at an event in 2013 with the president just a few feet away. the 63-year-old expected to formally announce in his hometown of detroit later today. >> of course there's still big names like jeb bush and chris
7:09 am
christie who have yet to officially throw their hats in the ring as well. all right. on the democratic side it's all about hillary clinton. she's been drawing criticism over certain donations to her family's charitable foundation. in an nbc news exclusive, bill clinton is answering those critics. nbc's cynthia mcfadden went one-on-one with the former president. cynthia, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning from nairobi, matt. as hillary clinton's campaign intensifies, so does the criticism of the foundation that bears her name that of her husband and daughter. she stepped down from her role at the foundation when she announced she was running, but some have questioned whether her independence were compromised from donors. need to talk to bimll clinton. former president bill clinton is making no apologies as he tours some of the african programs his
7:10 am
foundation has helped fund. >> i don't think there's anything sinister in trying to get wealthy people and countries that are seriously involved in development to spend their money wisely in a way that helps poor people and lifts them up. i don't think there's anything bad with that. i think it's good. >> reporter: but his wife's run for president has triggered new scrutiny and criticism. >> there is a deliberate attempt to take the foundation down. and there is almost no new fact on it. >> reporter: he tells me 90% of the donors give $100 or less. but it's who's giving the big money that's causing the headaches. over half of the donors giving $5 million or more are foreign. many of them foreign governments. under mounting pressure, the foundation recently announced it would only take from six western countries. was that to acknowledge it was a mistake before your wife ran for president? >> absolutely not.
7:11 am
it's an acknowledgment we're going to come as close as we can during her presidential campaign following the rules we followed when she became secretary of state. >> reporter: he defended the $10 million to $25 million given by saudi arabia. >> i don't think i did anything against the united states. >> reporter: do you understand the perception is a problem. >> no. i don't want to get in the weeds here. i'm not responsible for anybody else's perception. i asked hillary about this. she said no one's ever tried to influence me by helping you. no one has even suggested a shred of evidence to that effect. >> reporter: but the heartwarming stories here in africa are undeniable. here the hearing foundation program where 150 children and adults will get hearing aides today. you look like you know what you're doing, mr. president. >> he's done this before. >> i've done these in uganda zambia. >> reporter: this little boy
7:12 am
will hear for the first time. >> good? good. >> reporter: much of the work is far from glamorous. at a clinic in nairobi, chelsea clinton witnessed the use of a zinc and hydration pact. >> we bought a million which we donated to the government. >> there's never been anything like this issue where we raised over $100 billion worth of stuff. it's helped hundreds of millions. >> reporter: in you look at the controversy back at home, there is no indication of it here. a sampling of the 10,000 now attending high school. thanks to commitments made through the clinton global initiative. the program has been a whopping success. 98% graduate. 94% go on to college.
7:13 am
if you close your eyes you might think you're back on the campaign trail. as he tries to shrink the gulf between himself and regular folk. >> i once lived on a farm that had no indoor toilet. >> reporter: you certainly didn't grow up wealthy but you have become a wealthy man. >> i have. and one of the most amusing things of all is everybody saying well how can hillary possibly relate to the terms of middle class america because now we have money. it's laughable. it's okay if you inherit your money, then you can help people. i'm grateful for our success, but let me remind you. when we moved into the white house, we had the lowest amount of money. >> reporter: over the years he's made a lot of money giving speeches. while his wife wisconsin secretary of state, he gave 11
7:14 am
of them which paid him $500,000 or more. >> i give 10% of my revenue off the top every year to the foundation. and hillary in the year she was there gave 17%. over the last 15 years, i've taken almost no capital gains. to pay my bills and because in the -- why -- >> reporter: when working americans look and say $500,000 for a speech? >> it's the most independence i can get. it's -- i don't -- if i had a business relationship with somebody they would have a target on their back from the day they did business with me until the end. any kind of disclosure is a target. but it looks bad. there's no facts, of course but it looks bad. i work hard on this. i spend a couple hours a day just doing the research. i have turned down a lot of
7:15 am
them. if i think there's something wrong with it i don't take it. and i disclose who gave them to me. >> reporter: so she's now running for president. will you continue to give speeches? >> oh yeah. i got to pay our bills. >> reporter: if your wife is elected president, will you step down from the foundation? >> if it's the right thing to do i will. >> reporter: why might you step down if she's elected president? >> i might if i were asking to do something in the public interest that hadi had an obligation to do. i'm involved in this as you can see. we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. >> reporter: until then there are many more people to help and lots more money to raise. bill clinton says he trusts the american people to see the good work they have done for years and criticism is political. he's off to see the work of the
7:16 am
foundation there. >> all right. thank you. very candid interview with former president bill clinton. she'll have more of that interview tonight on "nbc nightly news". meanwhile, more on the protests in baltimore. >> baltimore citywide curfew was lifted sunds night six days after the violent riots in the wake of freddie gray's death. six officers in the gray case were charged in his death. com costello is in baltimore with more. hey, tom, good morning. >> reporter: hi natalie. good morning. there's a real sense the city may have finally turned the corner after the violence we've seen over the past week or so over the week we saw people peacefully demonstrating. but they are determined they say, to hold the police department and the city accountable for freddie gray's death. since the protests turned violent, the police department reports 486 people arrested 200
7:17 am
businesses lost 113 different officers injured. but things were peaceful enough over the weekend the mayor did, indeed lift the curfew. we also saw the national guard starting to pull out, restaurants reopening in d.c. those six officers who were connected to gray's arrest themselves are now arrested in his death. there is talk around the country that maybe this prosecutor overreached. that she may have a hard time proving this case against the officers and, in fact she doesn't have a lot of evidence and maybe this is more meant to appease the protesters than to get a conviction. the first court appearance is set later this month. >> tom kothcostello thank you. a shooting that left four people dead in wisconsin appears to have been a random act. a man went on a shooting spree on a pedestrian bridge sunday night. the shooter is among the dead. the surviving victim is listed in critical condition.

8:38 am
i got to work with my husband next to me on this whole film. it was a great way to make a movie. something i care about. very funny which is something i care deeply about. great comedy for a bunch of great women. such an amazing cast. >> and they all came back for this one. says a lot about the film when everybody comes back. >> yeah. it does. i think the first movie was such a surprise. we knew we had made a really fun movie with a big heart, but it caught fire. and it's because of the fans and the love that we were able to make a sequel. the biggest challenge was not disappointing those fans. >> so the barden bellas are back. they're on top until there is some national scandal. rebel wilson or fat amy has a glitch in front of the president and the first lady. >> she does. she has what we call muffgate.
8:39 am

8:48 am
8:49 am
is here in the city and dr. travis stork is host of "the doctors." good morning. nice see you. how often should we get screened? >> screenings really depend on your risk factors. so everyone should do a self-skin exam. if you have a risk of melanoma family history, you have pale skins, light eyes get screened frequently. determine how frequently you need to have the screening. >> so you go to a doctor. but you can do a certain amount of the screening at home by yourself. >> absolutely. you should look at your body all the time when you're naked. and the other thing are troublesome areas as far as you can't always see the top of your head or back. have your spouse look. and if anything is changing have them look at it have it get checked out. >> it really is a head to toe check, right? >> yeah. i usually recommend that people strip down to their birthday suits and start at the top of the head. look behind the ears look under the lips under the arms all the way down places sun doesn't
8:50 am
shine and even between your toes. >> what exactly are you looking for? a lot of people have moles, birthmarks on their body. what differentiates that from what you should look at? >> it can be a non-healing growth a recurrent pimple. it can also be a melanoma. melanomas follow the rules of the abcs. asymmetry, border. it should be a clear, crisp border. the color, it should be one color. not multiple colors. brown and blue and black. the diameter less than the size of a pencil eraser. a mole bigger than that can also be a problem. and anything changing. >> you're going to check natalie. while she does that, early detection is the key. >> i would say on "the doctors," you shouldn't fear a diagnosis. fear a late diagnosis. because melanoma is treatable if caught early. if you let it grow it can metastasize, spread to other
8:51 am
parts of the body and that's truly deadly. and people can see this is so easy. nowadays there are so many tools that dermatologists have to quickly scan your body. if there are concerns, they can do a biopsy. my other mother had melanoma and thank goodness she was diagnosed early to have it removed. i'm very cognizant of this myself. not only screening but protecting yourself from the sun as much as possible. you don't have to avoid going outside. but if you're going to go outside, wear clothing that covers up your skin. wide brimmed hats sunglasses certainly sun screen. and this is one of those things where it's cumulative. >> you're an outdoorsy person like i am. i don't think i've been as diligent about covering myself until my husband had a melanoma removed from his chin as well. i think it takes, sadly, having a personal experience. >> it is melanoma monday.
8:52 am
a great day to talk about this. >> all good? am i good? >> yes. natalie did well. it's important to get these screenings. almost 10,000 people will die this year from malignant melanoma. >> for more skin cancer prevention tips and to learn where to get a screening, head to today.com. up next savannah hangs out with animals australia. the actual

like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking xarelto® you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve, or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is 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.
