good morning. breaking overnight. was it suicide? investigators set to reveal significant new information in the death of a beloved illinois police officer. his shooting initially blamed on three unidentified suspects, sparking a massive manhunt. we're there live. troubling tweet. another controversial twitter post from donald trump. this time showing rival jeb bush in a mexican sombrero. and in another photo next to a swastika as a new poll just out this morning has ben carson topping hillary clinton in a potential matchup of front-runners. but aah humbug. two major airlines announce they are raising backage fees just for the holiday season. how much will you be paying for your trip home? and floating to safety. >> oh, my god. whose car is he going to hit? whose car is he going to hit?

>> that's not a person attached to that parachute, it's an entire plane carrying the former ceo of walmart and two others. the technology that helped save their lives today, wednesday, november 4th, 2015. >> announcer: from nbc news this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. and good morning, everyone. welcome to "today" on a wednesday morning. that is some amazing footage. >> some video you've got to play again and again to really believe what you're seeing there. heard about this technology and now we see it in action saving lives. >> much more on that story in just a little while, but on a wednesday morning we start with this story, and it's a bizarre twist in the death of a popular police officer in illinois who was found shot to death back in september after he radioed that he was chasing three unidentified suspects. well, now it appears that officer actually took his own life.

nbc's john yang is in chicago. john, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. bizarre indeed. this morning a shocking ending to a story that shook this area near the wisconsin border. a law enforcement official familiar with the findings tells nbc's chicago station wmaq that investigators are expected to close this case this morning in a most surprising way. this morning investigators are expecting to announce that lieutenant charles jay glenwicz took his own life, a conclusion as stunning as the discovery of his body two months ago. that led to a massive manhunt as hundreds of state, local and federal investigators scoured this area for the men they said had gunned down the 30-year police veterinarian knowned a gi joe. >> subjects are to be considered armed and dangerous. >> reporter: morning of september 1st glenwicz, the married father of four, was on routine patrol when he radioed

suspicious men on foot. 17 minutes later backup officers found him dead, shot with his own gun, officials said, above his bulletproof vest. glenwicz was a beloved figure, a mentor for young people this. small tight-knit community was in mourning and on edge, virtually locked down. >> we love you, joe. >> reporter: hundreds turned out for a memorial honoring him. >> joe was my best friend, my world, my hero. the love of my life. >> reporter: investigators reported getting 400 tips and took dna samples from about 100 individuals, but no suspects were ever identified or apprehended. in an interview with crime watch daily gliniewicz's widow responded angrily after the coroner said he would not rule out suicide, but last months

>> i wholeheartedly believe he was murdered. >> reporter: and to say otherwise? >> is disrespectful, hurtful, irresponsible. >> reporter: but last month investigators seemed to acknowledge the possibility. >> the weapon could have been fired by lieutenant gliniewicz or he could have been in close proximity of the weapon being fired. >> reporter: can you rule out a suicide? >> nothing is off the table. >> reporter: what investigators present with what they call their conclusive findings here later this morning we might hear what they believe led gliniewicz to take his own life. matt, savannah. >> thank you very much. politics and a controversial tweet from donald trump has the republican presidential candidate facing criticism as new poll numbers revealing how volatile this race has begun. to that in a moment but first

katy tur is here with more on mr. droump trump. good morning to you. >> reporter: trump revealed his new book not naming his rivals by name highlighting solutions. that night he was back on the attack and this time firing at jeb bush. the latest in what's become a series of attacks against his rival candidates, donald trump re-tweeting a post overnight slamming jeb bush. it features a photo montage of the former florida governor. one picture shows an image of bush next to a swastika and another shows him wearing a some breyera. the caption reads adios jeb, aka jose. the online reaction was swift. one user responded vile attacks on your own party is how you prove you're conservative and presidential and another tweeted tweeting out swastikas and racial stereotypes to attack jeb bush, very grown up. >> i do my own tweets, 90%. >> reporter: it's not the first time trump not known for mincing

water for his inflammatory tweets. last month he reposted a tweet mocking iowans that indicated ben carson was leading in the state. he later blamed an intern. >> the person thought it was a cute. i didn't think it was cute and i took it off. it wasn't a big deal. >> i this that really marco is overrated. >> reporter: and yesterday while promoting his latest book, trump went on the attack again, this time targeting florida senator marco rubio whose poll numbers have been steadily on the rise. >> all you have to do is look at his credit card. i mean, he's a disaster with his credit cards. he has a very bad record of finances if you look at what happened with his houses, with his, you know, he certainly lives above his means, there's no question about that. >> reporter: even with that rubio swipe, trump has been focusing more on calling out his rivals on substance lately rather than the personal attacks, a sign he's maturing as a candidate. still, this morning he just deleted the swastika tweet, the

not see this image but that he did re-tweet it like hundreds of others. they just told that to me right now. >> he re-tweeted and hadn't looked closely tat. >> reporter: had not seen the image of the image that he re-tweeted. >> by the way, trump took a new swipes at the new front-runner on republican side as well, but dr. ben carson appears to be taking it all in stride. nbc national correspondent peter alexander has a closer look at carson's surge. peter, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, matt, good morning to you. this really has been a stunning rise. ben carson, still technically off the campaign trail right now, but try telling that to the thousands of supporters who stand in line to see him at book signings across the state of florida. donald trump may be flashy, but carson has proven to be a fe phenomenon. ben carson in florida greeting big crowds, the outsider now on an inside track to the nomination. >> i think it's a marathon and polls are going to go up and down so i'm not going to spend a lot of time worrying about it. >> reporter: our polls now have

trump who insists it won't last. >> when a man is weak on immigration and wants to get rid of medicare, i don't know how he stays there. >> reporter: and now a new poll out this morning taken after the last republican debate shows carson beating hillary clinton by ten points in a general election matchup. carson's strongest support comes from evangelicals and women. >> he's just that kind of a person that makes you just want to smile when you listen to him because he is so inspiring. >> reporter: with no background in politics the retired neurosurgeon an best selling author even worked as an expert court witness, reportedly earning $750 an hour for reviewing medical records. he's appealing to independents, a double-digit advantage over clinton. first known for memorably taking on president obama in 2013. >> our deficit is a big problem. >> reporter: critics say carson may be haunted by comments made on the campaign trail. he did apologize for suggesting that prison made people gay. >> because a lot of people who

go into prison go into prison straight and when they come out they are gay, so did something happen while they were in there? >> reporter: but he says political correctness is ruining our country sand standing by controversial comments on islam. >> i would not advocate that we put muslim in charge of this nation, i absolutely would not agree with that. >> reporter: and on nazi germany. >> i think the likelihood of hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed. >> reporter: carson speaking softly but on the campaign trail making plenty of noise. we all agree that these polls can vary, but even donald trump concedes they generally do show a trend and our most recent poll shows the hypothetical clinton/carson matchup while clinton beats every other major republican in the race. matt and savannah. >> thank you very much. other political news, we have results from around the country on several closely watched initiatives that were on the ballot n.ohio, voters rejected a measure that would

and medicinal mayor wan ashe. some blame the fact that it would have given the power to grow pot to a small group of investors, including music star nick lachey and nba hall of famer oscar robertson, lachey >> let's go to houston where an ordinance designed to protect the right of gay and transgendered people failed to pass. opponents focused on one aspect of the measure that allowed the use of public rest rooms by transgender men and women. houston's mayor who is gay called that a campaign of fearmongering but the measure failed. and san francisco voters rejected a proposal prompt the by the city's housing crisis to place some restrictions on airbnb and other home sharing services limiting the number of day people could rent on the platforms to 75 per year. airbnb spent $8 million on ads in a successful campaign to defeat that measure. and now to the investigation into the deadly crash of a

new claim now that it is isis that brought down the jet. nbc chief global correspondent bill neely is in cairo again for us. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. day five, and we still don't know what caused this, but one by one they are eliminating possibilities. the desert search area has been expanded but the range of possible causes is now narrowing. they are getting closer. investigators now focusing on a few small sections of the plane. no traces of a bomb, no evidence of explosives found so far, according to reports on russian media, but the heat flash detected from the plane by a u.s. satellite proves there was an explosion that split the plane in mid-air, the evidence now pointing towards some catastrophic event that made a fuel tank explode or a bomb. >> whether it's mechanical or intentional, that's yet to be determined.

>> reporter: all the bodies recovered are now in russia being identified. the state news agency says those in the back of the plane suffered injuries consistent with an explosion. the tail was found three miles from the rest of the plane. they are now examining a repair job on the tail that was damaged hitting the ground 14 years ago. they are also searching the airport where the plane took off, questioning those who serviced it, caterers, cleaners, baggage handlers. the terror group isis is active in egypt and claims it downed the plane. the truth will likely emerge from the two flight recorders. investigators analyzing these now but making nothing public. and indeed making it clear that they won't say anything for a long time. within the last hour isis has repeated its claim. nbc news cannot authenticate this yet, but if it was a bomb, there will be evidence, explosive residue, a timer, a fragment of a circuit board.

that for now. so spare a thought this morning for the families of all those on board, still not knowing how on earth this happened. matt, savannah. >> can you imagine. bill neely, thank you very much. we'll turn now to a story that's affecting millions of drivers all across the country. u.s. safety regulators are slapping takata with a hefty fine for failing to disclose defects with air bags. nbc's tom costello has more on that. hi, tom. >> reporter: good morning, matt. for years takata corporation sold defective air bags insisting that they were safe, but now with seven deaths and 100 injuries in the u.s., regulators are taking action. it's one of the biggest finds ever levied by u.s. regulators, the takata corporation facing a $70 million penalty for lapses in air bag safety, but the total fine could grow to $200 million if the company fails to comply with a consent order. u.s. investigators say takata failed to immediately alert

inflators containing ammonium nitrate, a chemical that's potentially unstable and could cause air bags to explode. >> to date these represent tours are responsible for seven u.s. deaths and nearly 100 injuries. >> reporter: in 2014, this woman was killed after her air bag ruptured in florida. attorney hank didier told me at the time shards of flying metal shot from the air bag. what happened here, as you can see the shrapnel on the floor here from where the steering column was blown apart backwards, but what went forward towards her are metal fragments from the inflator itself. >> reporter: just came right into her face and neck. >> literally through the bag into her neck. >> reporter: now the government is requiring them to phase out the use of ammonium nye trail. takata has already recalled nearly 20 million vehicles

involving a dozen automakers and the recall could still expand. in a statement takata's chairman says, quote, we deeply regret the circumstances that led to this agreement. the settlement is the an important step forward for takata that will enable us to focus on rebuilding the trust of automakers, regulators and the driving public. another development overnight, honda announcing it will no longer use takata air bags in new honda or acura models. if you're worried your car may be part of the recall, go to safercar.gov, enter your vehicle's identification number, the v.i.n. if your car is affected can you call your dealer and hopefully arrange for a free repair. matt, back to you. >> let's stick with the auto industry for a sec. you're also following that scandal with vw, and it's growing now. >> reporter: yeah, vw now says it understated the emissions on another 800,000 cars. of course, vw has already said up to 11 million of its vehicles had software that allowed them to deceive emissions testers so the size and the scope of the volkswagen scandal is growing yet again, mostly now overseas. >> all right. tom costello covering two

morning. tom, thank you. >> meantime, the e. coli outbreak that caused chipotle restaurants to shut down dozens of those restaurants is growing. there are now at least 37 confirmed cases of people being sickened in oregon and washington state, but this morning scientists believe they are closing in on the exact source, the specific microorganism responsible for this has been identified now. they are saying it may have been carried on fresh produce such as lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro or onions. and now to some very disturbing surveillance video showing a city bus hitting and killing a 70-year-old woman as she tries to cross the street. take a look at woman. she's in a green sweatshirt. she's using a walker and waits for the cars to go by and then she starts to cross. an out-of-service bus makes a left turn and hits her. we stop the video right there. the driver paused in the intersection for a few seconds and then drove away. 48-year-old paul roper was later

the scene of an accident. some of his family members claim he did not see the woman crossing the street. >> heartbreaking. now to that remarkable video we showed you at top of this show, an astonishing sight in the skies over fayetteville, arkansas. a small plane piloted by former walmart ceo bill simon was forced to make an emergency landing with help, yes, from the aircraft's parachute. apparently the plane experienced a sudden drop in oil pressure so the pilot decided to deploy the emergency chute. >> several bystanders, as you can see, caught incident on camera. when the plane finally land it had actually hit a truck driving down the road. the driver of the truck and all three people on the plane were taken to the hospital, but we're suffering only minor injuries. that's miraculous. >> incredible to see that and cost about $800,000 to equip a plane with that. saved his life. al is here. let's get a check of the forecast. a lot of stormy stuff. we go to california, san diego. heavy thunderstorms and a lot of

lightning. they had a lot of rain as well. roads were flooded out. big problems there. let's move a little further east. yellowstone, take a look. about 7 inches of snow, and it's still coming down, so skiers are rejoicing right now. but a lot of folks in texas not rejoicing as this storm system makes its way to the east. we've already got flood watches and flash flood watches in effect through friday for a good portion of texas, and we've also got torment risk of strong storms, isolated tornadoes and damaging wind gusts over 60 miles per hour. this front will be pushing through. that will bring the snow into yellowstone. thursday flood watches and rainfall rates 1 to 2 per hour and continues into thursday evening. much cooler air behind it. we'll be looking at changes and rainfall again. why we've got the the flood watches in effect. 3 to 4 from little rock all the way to arkansas. we'll get to your forecast

>> that's your late weather. matt. >> thank you very much. coming up, final days of robin williams' life as his widow speaks out. and companies going after people who post bad reviews about their services y.your words could land you with a bill for thousands dollars and what

i was not aware of how much acidity was in my diet. i was so focused on making good food choices, i had no idea that it was damaging the enamel of my teeth. i wanted to fix it, i wanted to fix it right away. my dentist recommended pronamel. he said that pronamel can make my teeth stronger, that it was important, that that is something i could do each day to help protect the enamel of my teeth. pronamel is definitely helping me to lead the life that

eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me.

it's 7:30 now. it's wednesday morning, the 4th of november, 2015. and there's a pretty shot from the top of the rock. it feels like summer again in the northeast. >> yes. >> it's gorgeous. i love it. winter can take your time, take your sweet time. good morning, everybody. nice to have you along. here's what's happening in the headlines. this morning investigators are set to reveal significant new information as they call it in the september shooting death of an illinois police officer. that led to a massive manhunt for potential suspects. you may remember the case, but officials are expected to announce now that lieutenant joe gliniewicz actually took his own life. a new quinnipiac university national poll out this morning shows donald trump and ben carson in a virtual tie in the republican presidential race with trump leading by just a percentage point. in third marco rubio followed by

and a measure in ohio that would have legalized both medicinal and medical marijuana has been rejected by voters there. critics say it would have created a monopoly on growing pot for a small group of investors. let us begin this half hour with robin williams' widow now opening up about the beloved actor's tragic death. nbc's joe fryer has that story for us. joe, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, matt. for the first time since williams committed suicide, his widow susan is speaking out and tells "people" magazine that it wasn't depression that killed her husband but she believes a disease that was diagnosed after his death. >> maybe they should have a gps that ages with you, becomes age appropriate so eventually the car is going there's your turn, hello. >> reporter: williams' life was filled with laughter which is why his suicide last year shocked so many and now in friday's issue of "people" magazine his widow susan is opening up life about life in the months before his death. >> both robin and susan knew something was very wrong but

doctors couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. >> reporter: it wasn't until after his death an autopsy revealed williams was suffering from something called dementia with louie bodies. >> there was ongoing speculation that his depression or ongoing financial problems was the reason he committed suicide but in the end susan believes it was this disease. >> reporter: like alzheimer's it is a progressive brain disease. >> there's a lot of difficulty with focus and contrace which affects memory and thinking. >> reporter: can it be tough to diagnose sometimes? >> sometimes it's misdiagnosed as alzheimer's disease. >> reporter: susan williams pels "people" that before robin died small tasks had become confusing for the star and he went through massive bouts of anxiety and his movement became impaired and once she found him bleeding from the head in the bathroom. >> he apparently hit his head on a door and unable to articulate

door and she had to fill in the blanks. >> reporter: now susan says it all makes sense. she believes doctors were moving towards a diagnosis but robin took his life before they could get there and she's sharing her story hoping to raise awareness about the disease. >> she did cry at times, but she was also very resilient and resolved about her new mission in life. >> reporter: susan williams says robin's death was for a reason, to educated people about lewy body dementia and hopefully some day find a cure. it's believed more than a million americans have the disease but many have not been diagnosed. matt and savannah. >> joe fryer on that story, joe, thanks very much. taking a turn, oscar winner quentin tarantino is hitting back calling for a boycott of his new movie stemming from remarks he made at a rally against police brew at all. natalie is following the story. >> police unions in the nation's largest cities, they are behind this push for people to pass on the "hateful 8" which comes out next month but the "pulp fiction" director says critics

are twisting his word and ignoring the underlying problem. quentin tarantino not backing down. on tuesday defending earlier comment telling the "los angeles times," quote, i am not a cop hater. that is a misrepresentation. that is slanderous. the two-time oscar winner clarified remarks that have kicked off a wave controversy over police-related shootings of unarmed individuals. tarantino now saying all cops are not murderers. i never said that. i never even implied that. controversy began when tarantino spoke at a rise up october rally in new york last month. >> when i say murderers, i cannot stand by and i have to call the murdered the murdered, i have to call the murderers the murderers. >> reporter: several police unions fired back calling for a boycott of tarantino's upcoming film "the hateful 8." with unions in new york, chicago, houston, philadelphia, new jersey, l.a. and original county all joining the backlash.

>> the bottom line is he said what he said. he's trying to hide behind it now. he's not coming forward and changing his opinion so we're going to push steadfast and can. >> reporter: tarantino does have his supporters in the form of fellow activists as well as actors like jamie foxx who teamed up with the director for "django unchange the." >> this is my world and in my world you've got to the get dirty. >> and defended him at an awards show this past weekend. >> i want to say this. quentin tarantino, you are boss. you're absolutely amazing. keep speaking the truth and keep telling the truth and don't worry about none of the haters. >> meanwhile tarantino is saying by focusing on him rather than the shootings themselves that police unions are focusing on the wrong issue. there are still a full seven weeks before "the hateful 8" opens up on christmas day meaning the controversy and the threats of the boycott just getting started, heating up and boiling up. >> the first time we're hearing him respond to it. natalie, thank you. >> not backing down.

weather now from al. so the jet stream right now is acting like a wall between the colder air out west and the fantastic warm weather here in the east. it's slowly going to make its way east as we get into thursday and friday, but in the meantime from texas right into the northeast we are going to be looking at gorgeous weather. you get out west though, temperatures way below normal. reno 481 by friday and same in salt lake, flagstaff, arizona, 47 and other side of the front, look at these temperatures. 73 in nashville by friday and 78 in atlanta. jacksonville 85 and washington, d.c. 79. it will be 76 in new york city. rest of the country today, we've got snow in the rockies and also up into the cascades and look for showers in the pacific northwest. wet weather moving into texas but eastern third of the country fabulous though a lot of fog

we're back at 7:4. we've got a consumer alert that will have you looking a lot more closely at the fine print. >> apparently small businesses are going after customers who post negative online reviews, and now there's a push to stop them. nbc's gabe gutierrez is here with more on that. we've been going over this. you've been explaining it to us. explain it to the viewers. >> reporter: hey there, guys, good morning. we'll call it view retaliation. in the digital age even a few negative online comments can cost a small business big time. the question is now should they be allowed to stop you from writing them? the power of a keystroke, scathing online reviews fighting bad service, but can the company fight back? >> we were scared. we were stressed. we had no idea what was actually going to happen.

husband order her gear from a company called kleargear.com and said she posted a review saying these people are horrible to deal with and then the company charged the customer $5 3/5 hundred. >> what scared me more is they weren't coming after us because i wrote a bad review because they were hitting his credit for something i did. >> reporter: they are called non-disparagement clauses, allowing companies to take action if a customer's bad review could hurt their bottom line, and they are popping up more often from online retailers to wedding vendors. >> we see it as an issue of consumer rights and freedom. >> reporter: senator john thune is the chairman of the commerce committee and has introduced legislation to ban customer gag clauses nationwide. >> this is really sort of online bullying, when you intimidate and create an atmosphere of fear that a consumer can't express their views about a product or service online. >> reporter: but right now the clauses are allowed in every

should you do before you bash a company online? first, read the fine print. if the clause is in the contract, you may want to take your business elsewhere. second, don't make things up. there's a fine line between a bad review and defamation. and third, don't ignore it. if a company does fine you for a bad review and sends the bill to a collection agency it could ding your credit score for years. that's what happened to jen palmer's husband, so kleargear and after years court battles a judge award them $307,000. the parent company did not immediately respond to comment and did not respond to the law sue. the website's current donor tells nbc news the brand will be dissolved later this month. >> if you don't want bad reviews don't provide bad service. it seems so common sense to me. >> reporter: and there's a hearing on the proposed bill on cap he will. a similar measure was introduced earlier in the year and the

terry bradshaw? what a surprise! you know what else is a surprise? shingles. and how it can hit you out of nowhere. i know. i had it. c'mon let's sit down and talk about it. and did you know that one in three people will get shingles?

a criticism, some of it unfair. what kate and william are really concerned with is that kind of abuse direct the at young people. they are already interested in young people's mental health. now they are taking on the online bullies. they became more aware of the growing problem after hearing from young people during charity visits, and as new parents to 2-year-old prince george and princess charlotte, just 6 months, they really worry about the effect on children. >> who knows, prince george is probably using an ipad already like most toddlers are. >> reporter: that's why they reportedly plan to put pressure on social media company to change the statistics. 33% of teenagers have been victims of cyber bullying. 1 million children were harassed, threatened or subject to other forms of cyber bullying last year while 67% of young people think cyber bullying is a problem. while kate herself was bullied when she was young. >> because she thinks young people are increasingly becoming

vulnerable to these kinds of attacks and playground bullying is what kate experienced and online it's much more pernicious. >> reporter: two parent wanting to protect their children and everyone's from the bullies in an age when even young royals are on the internet. and we've yet to find out when the meeting with the heads of twitter and facebook might happen with the royals, but carson, you know, you and i as fathers, we're watching our children jump on smartphones and tablets even before they can speak. i guess it's kind of reassuring to realize that the royals have the same -- same problem. their little prince and princesses jumping online and want to make sure they are protected. >> keir, thanks very much at buckingham palace. you bring up a good point. let me point out that both facebook and twitter do have sections of their website devoted to dealing with online abuses. on facebook, they call this their bullying hub where they describe what bullying is and various scenarios and different ages can read up there. let's go over to twitter, twitter is more immediate so you can take action just by hitting the threet dots there once you

get a tweet you don't like and can immediately block a user or report a case right then and there. the royal family isn't the first high-profile group taking on cyber bullying, a few celebrities who have closed their twitter accounts at some point due to hateful comment. most have rejoined after a period of time though in a much more limited capacity. it's going to be interesting to see if this potential meeting between the royals and social media executives will help combat this issue that so many parents are concerned about. guys? >> i'm glad they are focused on it. >> yes. >> raising kids in the online digital age, not easy. >> and social media has to contend with that dark side of it, you know, the hate that is out there. >> that's true. coming up, another online concern. can [ barks ] come on. wait. welcome to the annual lighting of the tree. let the holidays begin!
