>> all right, thank you, bill. call updates throughout the morning. get the latest on news, weather, and traffic on the nbc 10 app. >> thank you for watching. good morning. troubling questions. >> you've got to make the assumption he had to have some help at some point. >> investigators now suspect stephen paddock may have had assistance and possibly an elaborate plan to escape after the shooting. the gunman's girlfriend speaking out for the first time through her attorney. >> it never occurred tme in any way whatsoever that he was planning violence against anyone. >> we're live with the latest on the deepening mystery. breaking overnight. u.s. special forces soldiers ambushed by suspected islamic militants in niger. three killed. two others wounded. we'll have the latest. pushing back. secretary of state rex tillerson takes on an nbc news report that he referred to the president as a moron. but doesn't deny it.

>> the places i come from, we don't deal with that kind of petty nonsense. >> tillerson also claiming he's never considered resigning, but senior officials telling nbc news he threatened to. this morning, the latest on the state department in turmoil. all that plus, will a new hurricane hit the gulf coast this weekend? and nfl star under fire for this response to a reporter's question. >> it's funny to hear a female talk about routes. and a vaccination controversy that's landed this mom behind bars today, thursday, october 5th, 2017. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning, everybody. welcome to "today" on a thursday morning. it's good to have you with us. and that news conference from the sheriff yesterday really raised some questions.

>> yeah, if you paid attention to the things he was saying, there were a lot of things that made you stop and think, wait a minute. we only know very little about what happened. >> yeah, this investigation is just getting started really. let's give you where it stands. the sheriff is saying based on the level of planning and the number of weapons here, he now believes stephen paddock, quote, had to have help. >> he's also revealed that investigators found an additional 1600 rounds of ammunition and 50 pounds of explosives in the gunman's car. >> officials have now given the first detailed timeline of sunday night's events, from the first shots that rang out at 10:05 p.m. to the moment officers set off explosives and entered paddock's hotel room 75 minutes later. >> authorities are also confirming that paddock rented a room at the nearby ogden hotel a week earlier that overlooked another outlook music festival. at this point, they are not sure why. >> we have two reports. we'll have new information on

what paddock's girlfriend is saying to investigators. let's start with miguel almaguer in las vegas. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the crime scene adjacent to the mandalay bay behind me is still cordoned off by investigators still looking for evidence. they say the suspect spent decades acquiring his massive arsenal. they also want to speak to those who knew him best. >> it seems like it's coming from up there. oh, [ bleep ]. >> reporter: this morning, a new int perspective of the massacre in vegas. a cabdriver rushing victims to safety. >> oh, god, there is an active shooter. okay. >> reporter: this as investigators release a new t e timeline. 10:05 p.m., the first shots fired, the start of a ten-minute volley. 13 minutes later, a security officer approaches stephen paddock's sniper's nest. the killer firing more than 200 rounds at him through the door.

10:55, officers surround the room. 11:20 p.m., the gunman found dead. the security guard helped police clear guests from the hotel, even after being shot in the leg, is now being praised by law enforcement officials. >> his bravery was amazing because he remained with our officers, provided them the key pass to access the door and actually continued to help them clear rooms until our officer demanded that he go seek medical attention. >> reporter: inside paddock's car, investigators find 1600 rounds of ammo. several containers of materials used to make explosives. police offered no evidence but suggested paddock did have an escape plan and possibly help. >> you've got to make the assumpti assumption, he had to have some help at some point. >> reporter: four days after the killing spree, investigators are still searching for a motive.

marilou danley, the gunman's girlfriend, back from the philippines, has been questioned by the fbi. police say danley is not a suspect. her attorney reading her statement. >> i knew stephen paddock as a kind and caring, quiet man. he never said anything to me or took any action that i was aware of that i understood in any way to be a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen. >> reporter: danley says her plane ticket and the $100,000 wired to her by stephen paddock before the attack was for a new family home. authorities say paddock rented a room at another hotel a week before the shooting. outside another musical festival. >> was he doing pre-surveillance? we don't know yet, okay? >> we have a great country, and we are there for you.

>> reporter: after meeting first responders, president trump consoled victims like samantha feronda, shot three times in the arm. >> my whole arm went numb, and just my hand just was like dangling. >> reporter: this image of air force one leaving las vegas, flying behind the mandalay bay hotel with the broken windows in clear sight quickly going viral. today, over 100 victims still hospitalized. >> they're shooting right at us, guys. everybody stay down. stay down! >> reporter: this morning, the bloodshed is over, but there are still so many unanswered questions. this morning, investigators say they still want to speak to a woman who was spotted with paddock in the days before the shooting. it's unclear what connection, if any, she may have to the crime scene. investigators are still trying to locate her. matt and savannah? >> miguel almaguer starting us off. thank you. >> a lot to discuss with pete

williams. good morning to you. let's start with marilou danley and what she's telling investigators. where is that taking the investigation? >> too soon to tell. they're taking her statement at face value. any time an important witness tells the fbi and police something, they'll work to corroborate it. for example, they want to know whether steven paddock bought all those guns himself, and if he didn't, they want to know what anyone who helped him was thinking. the investigators are grateful for her cooperation, but they'll have many more questions for her. she's the woman that knew him better than anybody else for the past few years. >> one of the questions, pete, why did he target this particular music festival, this country music festival? >> they don't know that yet. they say that he appeared to be at least considering other targets. he not only booked rooms in a high-rise condo overlooking a concert the week before, but investigators say he also made reservations in other hotels last weekend that afforded a similar vantage point looking down on the country music

concert. apparently keeping his options open until he settled on the mandalay bay. >> anything new on the weapons, pete? >> they say he started buying guns 35 years ago and bought them in four states, but what they're really keying in on is that they say he bought 33 of the guns he owned. that's nearly three quarters of them, mostly rifles, in the past year. what they want to know is what happened a year ago that caused him to suddenly start arming himself up? >> a lot of people have come to know what bump stocks are, which is a modification to a gun that can make it fire like an automatic weapon. there's movement now on capitol hill, perhaps, to make these illegal? >> right. bump stocks like this. they use the recoil of the rifle to help pull the trigger much faster. it is almost like a machine gun. senator diane feinstein introduced a bill wednesday to ban them. even possession of them. normally, anything connected to gun control is a lost cause in congress, but this time, several

republicans say they are willing to consider this one. >> pete, before you go, sheriff lombardo said something in the news conference last night that i think raised eyebrows. he said he may have seen some information and evidence that leads him to believe that stephen paddock may have had an escape plan. do you know anything more on that? >> we don't know what he meant by that. what we assume is that he planned to survive the shooting attack. of course, shortly after the shooting stopped, as soon as the police and the security people started coming to his door, he eventually took his own life. >> pete williams in washington, thank you very much. lot more to get to this morning, including the strong reaction over exclusive reporting by nbc news that exposed a growing riff between president trump and his secretary of state rex tillerson. nbc's andrea mitchell is on the story again for us this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. the president's national security cabinet in turmoil today over our report of a toxic

relationship between the white house and the secretary of state. the president, the vice president and rex tillerson himself rushed to deny that he'd ever thought of quitting. this morning, the president and his secretary of state trying to contain the fallout from an exclusive nbc news report about a widening riff between them. rex tillerson now denying he was on the verge of resigning this summer. >> i have never considered leaving this post. >> reporter: and offering praise for the president. >> let me tell you what i've learned about this president, whom i did not know before taking this office. he loves his country. he puts americans and america first. he's smart. >> reporter: president trump in las vegas, insisting tillerson has his support. >> thank you. total confidence in rex. i have total confidence. >> reporter: and mr. trump dismissing the nbc report outright. >> it was fake news. it was a totally phony story. thank you very much. it was made up. it was made up by nbc. >> reporter: senior administration officials confirmed to nbc news tillerson

did threaten to resign in july after a series of disagreements with the president and was talked out of it by defense secretary james mattis and incoming chief of staff john kelly. the president and tillerson clashing over iran, a dispute over u.s. allies in the persian gulf and north korea. the frustration boiling over with tillerson openly disparaging the president as a moran after a meeting at the pentagon. three senior officials told nbc news. asked for a response, tillerson, wednesday, not denying the remark. >> the places i come from, we don't deal with that kind of petty nonsense, and it is intended to do nothing but divide people. >> reporter: hours later, a spokesperson who didn't attend the meeting denied the comment. >> he did not say that. >> reporter: on capitol hill, senate foreign relations chairman, bob corker, despite his past criticism of tillerson for trying to slash the state department's budget, voiced support for tillerson as well as the former generals advising the president. >> i think secretary tillerson,

secretary mattis and chief of staff kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos. >> reporter: senator corker also suggested the president has not given his secretary of state the backing that he needs to do his job effectively. despite all the denials, many sources in both camps say that this is a relationship beyond repair and, in fact, the only reason the president is not firing secretary tillerson is he has already gotten rid of so many people in his cabinet and top white house staff that he can't afford more political damage. matt and savannah? >> andrea mitchell, thank you. also this morning, a new tropical system has developed. it could hit the southern u.s. as a hurricane this weekend. al, i know a lot of people hoping they never get to meet a guy named nate. >> that's exactly right. we've been talking about the fact that we're seeing the development area shift from the eastern atlantic to now basically right along the southeastern coast and down through the caribbean. that's where we're seeing the

development. this most likely area, the area in orange, that's where we have tropical depression 16. 35-mile-per-hour winds, northwest at 7. has to make interaction with nicaragua, honduras. look how warm the water is. 81 to 84. we expect it to make landfall early sunday. we put the european model, the american model and the national hurricane center track, and you can see the european model has been further to the west. the national hurricane center plot is following along with that. sometime sunday morning/sunday afternoon, we have landfall somewhere near new orleans. then it continues its way up into parts of the southeast. in fact, there's even a category 1 storm near atlanta on monday morning. guys, we're going to be watching this very carefully. again, we have to get it through nicaragua and honduras, but we

continue it to intensify. the rapid intensification is what we're worried about. >> to clarify, it would be named nate if it develops in that way. >> yes. >> thank you, sir. >> al, thank you. now a scandal that's rocking washington this morning. a popular republican congressman now says he will retire at the end of his term, amid fallout from an admitted affair. kasie hunt is on capitol hill for us with more on this. good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. a popular republican congressman, tim murphy of pennsylvania, had already admitted to having an extramarital affair. now he is announcing he is not going to come back to washington after a bombshell report revealed he urged the same woman to have an abortion. embroiled in a growing sex scandal. >> we have an awful, awful mess in this country. >> reporter: pennsylvania congressman tim murphy announced he will not seek re-election next year. the 65-year-old republican taking heat in the wake of a

bombshell report detailing an extramarital affair. he now says he will take personal time to seek help and that he and his family are working through personal difficulties. an eight-term congressman, murphy is a prominent member of the house pro-life caucus. this week, he voted for legislation that bans abortions after 20 weeks. >> the bill is passed! >> reporter: text messages obtained by the pittsburgh gazette seems to suggest murphy asked his mistress to terminate a pregnancy. a psychologist who murphy admittedly has had an affair texted him about a pregnancy scare in january. writing, zero issue of posting your stance on pro-life, but you had zero problems with asking me to get an abortion. >> he said, i never wrote them. i read it and winced. it came to light during edwards'

own divorce proceedings. new allegations of the hostile work environment in congressman murphy's office. his chief of staff writing a six-page memo saying he threatened his staff. his behavior described as angry, aggressive and abusive. tuesday, murphy refused to answer questions from reporters. wednesday, he met with house speaker paul ryan before announcing he'd retire. so the committee that is tasked with electing republicans to the house of representatives says they are extremely disappointed in the circumstances surrounding congressman murphy's retirement, but they remain confident that his pittsburgh area district is going to stay in republican hands. matt and savannah? >> kasie hunt, thank you. three u.s. army special forces soldiers were killed, two others wounded, in southwest niger. a joint u.s./nigerian patrol was

ambushed by suspected islamic militants near the mali border. several nigerian soldiers were also killed in the attack. the wounded were taken to niger's capital and are in stable condition. a michigan mother will spend seven days in jail for not having her 9-year-old son vaccinated. she violated a court order after she agreed last year to get the immunizations done and didn't follow through. >> this hearing is not the time for the court to hear the merits on whether or not the minor child should be vaccinated. ten months have gone by, and mother has failed to comply with the order that she agreed to. >> the mother says vaccinations go against her religious beliefs, but her ex-husband wanted it done. the judge told her the boy's father gets a say. mr. roker, back with another check of the weather. full forecast, what's going on? >> that's right. let's show you on the national map we've got. plenty of sunshine, and it is going to be nice and warm in the mid-atlantic states. showers making their way through

at hotels in the wake of the las vegas shooting. national investigative correspondent jeff rossen is in las vegas with more. good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, guys. good morning to you. think about it. when you go to an airport and check in, they can't get through to the gates until you are searched, until your bags are scanned. the question now is, should they be doing the same thing at hotels, or is that too much? right now, i'm standing in a room at mandalay bay, where this all went down. stephen paddock was literally able to do whatever he wanted us here. once he got the suitcases with the weapons through the lobby, able to do whatever he wanted. reportedly even came over here and took one of these do not disturb signs and put it on the door for days so hotel workers wouldn't come in and see his stash. couldn't see what he was up to. this morning, security experts across the country agree, hotels need to do more. [ gunshots ] just days after stephen paddock opened fire from his room at

mandalay bay, new focus on how he got the weapons inside undetected. officials now say he smuggled the guns in at least ten suitcases. now security experts are calling for a nationwide ramp up. what can hotels do right now today? >> start by increasing security. putting more people out on the floor. having more security officers. also look at bomb-sniffing dogs. they can find gun powder, explosive powder. try to make it safer but not super intrusive. >> you check in and there are dogs in the lobby walking by. no one can slip in an arsenal of weapons like this. >> right. the dog should be finding the gun powder and alerting their handlers, maybe we should ask you a couple questions. >> reporter: that kind of change takes time. checking in, jeff rossen. today, it remains business as usual at most hotels, like this one in new york city. thank you very much. i appreciate it. thank you. just like that, like most

hotels. this is no different than most of the country. i have my key. i have my luggage. i'll get on the elevators here and that's it. no checks. but scanning bags at hotels is already standard procedure in places like jerusalem, where guards check guests coming in. and in moscow, where nbc news just spotted metal detectors in this hotel lobby. in las vegas, video surfacing this week from the wynn and enco encore, showing bag checks and employees with handheld wands, searching guests. experts say that's not a realistic, long-term fix. in fact, by late wednesday night, i checked in and no one stopped me at all. i'm here at the wynn in vegas. come on in. and i'm in my room now. no one searched by luggage. no one scanned me or searched me. here we are in the room, overlooking the las vegas strip. there it is right out there. the public is right down there. that's the strip. a few days after the shooting. same situation when i check into

mandalay bay, the scene of the crime. a security guard asks me to flash my key, but that's it. and we're in the room here, too. now experts say hotels across the country are working on new plans to increase security, and they have options. let's talk about the windows for a moment. >> of course. >> reporter: we're at mandalay bay now. these are the very windows paddock reportedly used a hammer on to break through. we're on a different floor. is there anything to be done, so you can't break these? >> two things. number one, put a sensor on it. like a home security system you'd have. the glass breaks, someone can come up and inspect it. >> immediately. >> immediately. >> reporter: the second is a clear film and cheaper. prevents the window from shatteri shattering. >> reporter: you can sit with a hammer all day and it won't break. >> you sure can. >> reporter: mgm, the owner of mandalay bay, telling nbc news

its increased the level of security. it's a top priority. also telling us mgm resorts work with local and national law phone enforcement agencies. this is industry wide. we got in touch with the hotel industry association. they have been meeting all week, ever since this happened, in this new world we live in now. the new reality. to figure sure out what they can do to step up security and make everyone safer. >> jeff rossen in las vegas. thank you very much. turn back to al for a check of the weather. that's a messy map behind you. >> it is. we have a tropical wave right now that's affecting florida. this has nothing to do with what we're expecting in the gulf later this weekend. we've got this tropical wave that is going to surge up and bring gusty winds. heavy rain. anywhere through friday, 3 to 5 inches of rain, from key largo up into melbourne and orlando. we've also got widespread showers and thunderstorms from new mexico all the way into the midwest today. in fact, as we look through

friday, we could see upwards of 3 to 5 inches of rain. they even have flood watches this effect through saturday for new mexico, iowa, nebraska. upwards of 5 i good morning, get ready for a warm day today. we'll see sunshine, a few clouds, 83 degrees this afternoon in philadelphia. the suburbs? 81 degrees, a nice warmup in new jersey, 8 it 2, and 78 at the shore. early this evening, spotty showers and thunderstorms reaching into the lehigh valley, but delaware is dry, sun, clouds, and warming into the 80s, and the warmth continues into the weekend. have a great day. >> don't forget, get the weather any time you need it. check out the weather channel on cable. >> al, thank you.ahead, including the technology in your car that could be leaving you dangerously distracted behind
