>> good morning, matt. four people dead here, including the gunman. 14 others injured. many of them apparently his co-workers co-workers. one police officer is being hailed a hero cop this morning. all of this comes as another community struggles to understand. >> reporter: this is video of cedric larry ford, posted on his facebook page. in his late 30s, allegedly went on a shooting rampage at the excel factories. he is seen firing what appears to be an assault rifle. so far, police have not revealed a motive. >> pop, pop, pop. >> he was following people out the back. i thought he was going to shoot me. >> reporter: police confirmed the shooter was an employee at the factory, which makes rideing mowers and lawn care equipment. the suspect had a long gun, possibly an assault rifle, as

be shooting at random. eyewitnesss stopped to help the wounded. >> he got shot twice in the chest, one in the arm and once in the leg. >> reporter: anxious relatives rushed to the scene. >> my daughter works second shift, along with her boyfriend, and my niece. >> reporter: the rampage started about an hour earlier, less than ten miles away. shortly before 5:00 p.m., police say the gunman drove through the south central town of newton, opening fire on two cars and injuring one person. from there, people say the suspect drove eight miles where he stole a car and injured another person. after that, he made his way to the excel factory in hesston, shooting one person before goes inside and shooting many more. >> he had no specific target. he was shooting anyone that got in his way. >> reporter: authorities say the gunman was still shooting when the first officer arrived and was able to take him down, saving many lives.

happen here, but it's all those places that it happens at. here we are, it happened here. >> we have learned that ford, the accused shooter, does have a lengthy criminal record dating back to the '90s in broward county, florida, where he used to live. this doesn't appear to be terror related and the motive is under investigation. >> blake mccoy on this story in kansas. thank you very much. we move to the presidential race and the republican debate last night. marco rubio and ted cruz laying into the front runner donald trump, trying to slow his momentum as we head into super tuesday. will it work or is it too late? we have complete coverage and we'll talk to senator rubio in a moment. let's begin with national correspondent peter alexander. good morning. >> good morning to you. after three straight double digit vaktry ryvictories for donald trump, cruz and rubio finally

the fight felt much more like a brawl. >> reporter: at the lone star state standoff, marco rubio let loose. >> you're the only person on the stage that's ever been fined for hiring people to work on your projects illegally. >> i'm the only one on the stage that's hired people. you haven't hired anybody. >> if he builds the wall he built trump towers, he'll use illegal immigrants to do it. >> reporter: rubio skillfully and playfully mocked donald trump. >> now he's repeated himself. >> no, i'm not. no, no, no. i watched him repeat himself five times four weeks ago. >> i saw you repeat yourself five times five seconds ago. everybody is dumb, we're going to win, win, win. >> senator rubio, please -- >> every night, same thing. >> reporter: one of the best lines of the night? rubio questioning trump's success story. >> if he hadn't inherited $200

selling watches and hats. >> reporter: the rubio campaign trying to gain momentum online, with this watch. for ted cruz, he also teamed up on trump. >> in 2013, when i was leading the fight against the gang of eight amnesty bill, where was donald? firing dennis rodman on "celebrity apprentice." >> reporter: trump defending and deliberating counterpunches. >> i got along with everybody. you get along with nobody. you should be ashamed of yourself. i had an amazing relationship with politicians. this guy is a joke artist and this guy is a liar. >> reporter: the billionaire also fended off this colorful attack from the former mexican president. >> i'm not going to pay for that [ bleep ] wall. he should pay for it. he's got the money. >> reporter: asked how he'd get mexico to pay? >> i will and the wall got ten feet taller, believe me. if i would have used even half of that word, it would have been

>> reporter: at times, the debate moved into a debacle. >> donald, relax. >> you need to relax. you're the basket case. >> reporter: ben carson left off camera begged to be heard. >> can somebody please attack me? >> last night, cruz and rubio promised to release their tax returns today or tomorrow, putting pressure on donald trump to do the same. trump blamed the irs for his delay, saying two to three years worth of his returns are currently being audited. matt and savannah? >> peter alexander, thank you. senator marco rubio is with us now. senator, good morning. >> good morning. >> i'm reading a lot of the reviews this morning. a lot of people think you had a very strong pmpserformance last night. you hit donald trump on a string of substative issues. obamacare, hiring practices, planned parenthood, the vacancy

was this the plan all along, to string together this kind of substantive attacks at the 11th hour to leave this fresh in the minds of voters on super tuesday? >> the thing here is i prefer not to have a fight and argument with other republicans but donald has done well in the early states. we're on the verge of having someone take over who is a con artist. he's telling people he's fighting. his target audience is working americans who are really struggling in this economy. he's spent a career sticking it to working americans. >> more specifically, you said you don't want to criticize other republicans. again. but was it the strategy to wait till the last minute so it's fresh in the minds of voters on tuesday? >> no. that was when the debate was. number two, as he reminds people

doing well in the polls. i'm the underdog. i ask people to join us at marco rubio.com so we can stop the lunn ka lunacacy. he's going tostuck it to working americans and now claims to be their champion. >> the taxes of donald trump. you and senator cruz say you'll release your returns in the coming days. donald trump says he can't because he's been audited. he has been for the last several years. is that a sufficient reason not to release at least part of his tax records? >> first of all, we're release ours. not only release ours, but we do a financial disclosure with the senate every year. there's no difference between the disclosures and the taxes. number two, i don't think it's enough. ted cruz had a good point last night. we need to see the returns to see if the difference between the audited version and what he filed are evidence of wrongdoing. i think the reason why donald

hasn't made nearly as much money as he claims he does. he's taken trump airlines, bankrupt. mortgage, disaster. trump university was a fraud. he's not as rich as he claims to be. everybody in finance knows that and his taxes would expose that. he came up with the excuse of an audit. >> after the debate, he said the reason he's audited is he's too strong of a christian. do you think that might be a factor? >> i mean, this is unreal. again, this guy is a con artist. he's always making things up and no one holds him accountable for it. you have a guy who is being sued right now for fraud for trump university. i've had stories written about my driving record. we had red light camera tickets. i have some guy go back and write a story about how when i was 18, i got arrested -- or cited for drinking beer in a park after hours.

he had to pay a judgment for hiring polish workers illegally to build trump towers. he's being treated with kid gloves by many in the media. in the hopes he's the nominee. some are bias. they'd love to see a liberal like donald trump take over the republican party. others know he's easy to beat once he gets there. hillary clinton would take him apart. >> tuesday is hugely important for you. you need a win. you need delegates. one of your campaign spokespersons said you would win florida. you are behind right now in the state by double digits. will you guarantee that you'll win the state of florida? >> we're not behind by double digits in florida. the polls you're citing is wrong. not only do we have our own numbers but i know my state. we'll win florida and do well on super tuesday. it's up to the people watching this. that's why i'm on this broadcast. if you want to stop this man, donald trump, this con artist, from taking over the conservative movement, go on marco rubio.com, sign up and

we'll put an end to it. we can't turn over the reagan revolution to someone who spent a career sticking it to working people and now claims to be their champion. >> marco rubio picking up where he left off last night. thank you for your time. >> thank you. let's bring in nicolle wallace and mark, managing editor for bloomberg politics. mark, you were at the debate last night. the old saying, throwing everything but the kitchen sink. in this case, i think the sink was included. marco rubio dumping it on trump from the fake university to the hiring of the illegal workers to the fraud lawsuit. it was all in there. i guess the question this morning is, was it enough? was it too late? >> kitchen sink, bathtub and everything else in his arsenal. this morning with you guys, he talked about trump is a con artist. it was more of a focused message than last night where he tried lots of things. it's interesting to think about

had had a performance like this against trump two or three months ago, whether the trajectory would be different. we're a few days away from super tuesday. donald trump is leading in all the states voting in super tuesday by a substantial margin, except texas. i think marco rubio probably waited too long to put this performance? >> i don't think there is any doubt this was marco rubio's best performance in a debate. was it donald trump's worst? >> it doesn't matter. he's always crummy and it never seems to matter. what i think is interesting is -- so chris christie did to marco rubio what marco rubio did to donald trump. the effect of that was incredible damage to marco rubio. chris christie was out, i think, less than a week later. what was interesting to me is did marco rubio and chris christie make it easier for ted cruz to win texas?

business dealings was always trump's achilles heel. the mystery in republican circles is why didn't anyone make this case before? >> talking about the effect of this, mark, does this buy marco rubio time? do you think the donors, the loyalists and people waiting on the sidelines, wondering if marco rubio had it to go the distance, are they off the sidelines and is he going to get an influx of support and cash? >> some people will say, we'd love to see a one on one debate between marco rubio and donald trump. the problem is, super tuesday, when so many delegates are at stake with so many voting on tuesday, it doesn't look like marco rubio could win. while he says he can win florida, and the public polling doesn't suggest he can, it's hard to see how he survives to florida in a couple weeks if he doesn't win a single state on super tuesday or between super tuesday and when florida votes on the 15th. he's in a stronger position with a strong debate performance but

translates into winning states in the short term. >> all right. this was fascinating. thank you very much. good to see you guys this morning. meanwhile, former republican candidate senator lindsey graham hasn't been shy about attacking donald trump or the shenanigans of this campaign season. he took things to a new level at the washington press club dinner last night. take a look. >> my party is going [ bleep ] crazy. if you kill ted cruz on the floor of the senate and the trial was in the senate, nobody could convict you. i ran for president. i had to get out. i endorsed jeb bush. he had to get out. and the doctor kavorkian of the

tonight -- i endorse donald trump and hope magic still exists. >> did he sum it up well? >> he did. what is interesting is this party has its hair on fire about donald trump. marco rubio is the only one with a hope of bepnefitting from all these attacks. i think republicans are wondering, where was this outcry? where was this hysteria? donald trump has been doing well for a very long time. marco rubio is now satisfying and acceptable to a broad swath of all of the kind of republicans who laugh at those jokes. where was the strength that he displayed last night six, seven, two months ago, when it really could have put marco rubio in the stop top position of the polls? >> it's not like the lines of attack were in the bushes. >> trump's business dealings are known around new york and in business communities.

an aggressive way. it's satisfying to a lot of people who wondered why they weren't earlier. i agree with mark's analysis. i'm just not sure if there is time. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. let's turn to al. he's on the road this morning. lucky guy, miami beach. looks beautiful. al, good morning. >> it is gorgeous. 56 degrees, which we would love in new york city. feels a little cool here, little breezy. we're not complaining. it's the 15th annual south beach food and wine festival here in south beach. in the meantime, let's show you what we have going on right now around the country. again, the good news is, things have calmed down for the most part. we'll seeing action in the pacific northwest, northern california. windy in the northeast. snow showers around the great lakes. sunshine along the gulf coast. things are much calmer today than they have been the last couple days.

you can expect is dave carter, host of front runners on fandango. good to see you. >> you, too. >> we have to talk about the oscars controversy. people are wondering how and when chris rock, the host, might take it on. i assume he's going to take it on. >> sure, he'll take it on at the top of the show. all eyes will be on the eight-minute monologue he does. he tested out some material at a nightclub in los angeles last week. people who were there said he really did not hold back. there is a bit about how martin luther king jr. wouldldave thought about this controversy and all that. i think people are going to really see what he's been doing. he's the perfect guy to be hosting this year. >> might be some people in the academy a little nervous about what he has to say. the speeches will be a little different. people are going to notice something. we're used to seeing winners get up there and ramble on and thank and thank. they have a new feature. >> so they've asked all the nominees to submit a list of names in advance. if they win, while they're

example -- there will be a scroll for them to announce and name all the people they want to. will it work? i think in some cases, yeah. >> i like the idea. i don't think it works. >> i'm pro hf-scroll. >> they're hoping it'll promote more moments of speaking from the heart. it's a hard habit to break. people have people they want to thank. >> and you get nervous. i get it. >> i think it'll work in some cases. >> let's go predictions. a lot of people think leonardo dicaprio, it's a shoe? >> of course, yeah. he's been nominated so many times. he'll win for the right performance. he was terrific in "the revenant." >> best actress, what's going to happen? >> brie larson for "room." break-out star. >> she's won everything leading up. >> there's support for the movie which got a best director and

>> i think people's hearts are with stallone. >> even though he wasn't nominated for the guild award, he did not win for rocky, and this is a way to right the wrong. >> the best supporting actress is close? >> between kate winslet for "steve jobs" and alicia vikander for "the danish girl." any time it's been alicia in "the danish girl" against kate, alicia wins. >> what about best director? >> i think it'll go to the "revenant," first ever to win

i think "revenant" wins the best picture. "mad max" will win a ton. >> if history proves true, you'll be write on 95% of the predictions. >> i hope so. >> dave carter, thank you. >> sure thing. >> we'll have a wrap, the winners, fashions, after parties, everything monday on "today." natalie and al will be live in l.a. monday morning. celebrating some of our heros in honor of black history month. first on a friday morning, this is "today" on nbc. hillary clinton: wall street should never be allowed to wreck main street again. americans haven't had a raise in 15 years. but i want to go further. whether it's racism holding people back... big financial interests, drug companies, insurance companies, big oil companies... the indifference, the negligence. that's what i want to take on. to root out all of these barriers... and together we will make progress.

we're back at 8:44 with looking back, moving forward, in honor of black history month. >> this morning we celebrate the achievements of black americans that have meant so much to us and people all around the world. >> black history month for me is truly american history. >> it gives us a moment to reflect on the progress that we've made but also how far we

>> black history is about people who have broken barriers in all endeavors. >> whether it's technology, the arts, sports. >> from politics to pop culture, black americans have left such an indelible mark. >> the inauguration of president obama in 2009, i think, was one of those moments that i will forever talk about. >> i don't think you had to be black or a person of color to appreciate it. >> congratulations, mr. president.

restricted to the clinic. >> i thought that was thrilling and she was so beautiful. she was just exquisite. then one of my favorite actors of all time, sydney portier, won an oscar for a beautiful movie. a woman >> a woman who i respect and am in awe of was ruby bridges. there were so many people chanting, two, four, six, eight, we don't want to integrate. she didn't know she was making history. she was going to school. >> ranch ricky had the courage to sign robinson to a major league contract. that took guts. then the sheer talents of jackie robinson who went on the field and played to the highest level every day and ignored what was thrown at him. and set a standard above anything anyone had seen before. those two guys in combination

>> jesse owens and his performance at the 1936 berlin olympics. i have this picture up in my office. i gives me chills every time i look at it. why was it so significant? jesse owens won four gold medals at an olympics hosted by adolph hitler. the point was to show off white supremacy. what did jesse owens did, the son of a sharecropper? he disproved the entire theory. >> calvin p. was an important figure to me in history. i'm a huge golfer. he didn't start playing until he was 24, from detroit. i remember seeing him as a kid, watching him walk out there on the golf course. not a tremendous amount of african-americans. long before tiger woods. amazing that he'd go on to a champion golfer. >> black history is about american history because the two are inseparable. >> what we describe as the triumphant moments and the difficult moments are all a part of who we are. >> one of my favorite martin luther king quotes is the marc

but it bends towards justice. i think there's a lot of work to do, but i think there's a lot of things to be proud of, as well. >> to understand some of the terrible things that have happened in this country and the suffering that has happened in this country. but also the great things and the great people that have risen from that. >> once you know your history, you're a better person for it. >> i think our history is intertwined, so as you look at what accomplishments have been made, they really are american accomplishments. >> that's the importance of black history month. for all of us to be forever reminded of those contributions. >> very different and interesting choices. >> absolutely. >> from everyone. coming up on weekend today, sheinelle is going to share her family's influence on wichita, kansas. coming up, we're sending lucky fans on a leap weekend

it's a great song but -- >> you get it in your head. tonight. >> i'll be in bed by 8:00 but -- gets me fired up at 6:00 p.m. show. >> we were equally, like favorite movie of his "apollo 13." >> he's so cool. he's in a play with his wife. >> can't wait to talk to ed in a little bit. we have to talk about the republican debate last night in houston. so many people have been calling on marco rubio and ted cruz to go after donald trump. they said, is it too late? what are you waiting for? well, marco rubio did not wait any longer. last night, right out of the box, going very strongly at donald trump. here's a sample of some of the exchanges between the three. >> five things. everyone is dumb. he'll make america great again. win, win, win. winning in the polls. >> senator rubio --

if heherited $200 million, you know where trump would be? selling watches and hats. >> i find it amazing donald trump thinks he discovered the issue of illegal immigration. when i ran for the state of texas, i promised to lead the fight against amnesty. in 2013, when i was leading the fight against the gang of 8 amnesty bill, where was donald? he was firing dennis rodman on "celebrity apprentice." >> that's just a tiny sample of what went on for two and a half hours. you heard rubio's line, that donald trump would actually be selling watches in new york, basically saying he'd be a hustler on canal street. now marco rubio has a shattered watch on his page. he scored points with the audience. when rubio went after him for allegedly hiring illegal workers

>> you're the only person on the stage that has been fined for hiring people to work on your projects illegally. >> i'm the only one on the stage that has hired people. you haven't hired anybody. >> so marco rubio came loaded. he had a lot of opposition research. talked about trump university, talked about why are your clothes made in mexico and china if you say the jobs are going there. >> he did what he had to do, finally. >> he did. the question is, a lot of people are asking, why didn't he do it four months ago? >> it's sandwiched into this one debate. >> at this point, trump is so far ahead of everybody else. the big question is, can they even make up the ground that has been lost all along? >> super tuesday, only a few days away. the evening's viral quote came from carson on replacing antonin scalia. >> i would look at what a person's life has been. what have they done in the past? what judgments have they made? what associations do they have?

interview will tell you. the fruit salad of their life is what i would look at. >> the fruit salad of their life. dr. carson after the debate telling a reporter he misquoted a bible verse, matthew 7:16. by their fruit, you will recognize them. a lot of people talking about that. >> heated and fired up debate. people will see how it plays out on super tuesday. >> a lot of people had to turn it off because it was too much back and forth. just fighting and screaming. >> there was a lot of screaming. at one point, it got to the point where you couldn't even understand who was talking or what they were saying. >> a lot of overtalk. >> we'll see if it matters. oscars this weekend. the predictions, our predictions, and we'll see if they pan out. let's go through some of the big nominees. starting with best bikture turepicture nominee. the big short, bridge of spies, brooooyn, "mad max: fury road," the martian, the revenant, room and spotlight. that's it, right?

>> yup. >> here are our predictions. willie and natalie choosing spotlight. al went with the revenant, and i did, too. tamron went with the big short. >> i think you and al are probably right. >> i think everybody is saying that's going to win. the revenant won the golden globe for best drama. the martian won best cam addyomedy. >> screen actors build went to spotlight. that sort of determines how peers think of the film. >> i don't know. >> they're all good movies. all those nominates are great but they're vastly different. they bring something completely different. >> hard to compare spotlight to the revenant. apples and oranges. >> throw in the martian for good measure. >> the revenant was about leo, one man, speaking up. >> he is also up for the best actor nominee, along with bryan cranston

fassbender and eddie redmayne. >> most people are saying leo is going to get it. >> he's wanted it so badly and deserved it for other performances. this time, hopefully he'll finally get it. >> is it weird i voted for him for the revenant and the best actor and i haven't seen the movie yet? i've heard so much about it. >> you have to. >> the buzz is great. >> best actress nominees. cate blanchett, brie larson, jennifer lawrence, charlotte rampling, saoirse ronan. >> like inertia, saoirse. >> i wish you told me that before i tried. everyone said brie. >> i haven't seen "room" either but i've heard good things. >> what have you seen?

>> did you see "paul blart: mall cop 2"? >> it'ssn demand. >> was it nominate snd. >> robbed again. >> i saw some of these. christian bale, tom hardy, mark ruffalo, mark rylance, sylvester stallone. everyone is obviously saying stallone. >> sentimental but incredible performance. >> surprise if he doesn't win. >> also won the golden globe. best supporting actress, jennifer jason leigh, rooney mara, rachel mcadams, alicia -- >> vikander. >> why am i leading this? >> it's fun to listen. >> kate winslet. >> dave carter said this is a category that could be a surprise. willie, you said kate winslet. >> she was great in "steve jobs." al and i went with alicia vikander.

almost equally as important as the lead actor, as eddie redmayne. >> tamron went with rooney mara. i went the jennifer jason leigh and i actually saw "the hateful eight." and i interviewed her and i liked her. >> great reasons. >> we all revealed we were honest, confessions, very bad parenting moments, things we're not proud of at all. although we could somehow laugh about it the next day. so you all responded. we loved -- we got inundated with so many of your viewer fails, as well. becky said her fail was when her daughter gets her ears repierced and erupts into tears. she reaches into her purse for tissue, nothing except a maxi pad and said, this is all i have. blow your nose.

one weekend and used her son's backpack as a cooler. the following monday, what happens? she gets a call from a camp counselor during summer camp. told her that thomas, who is 8, had two unopened bud wiezweisers in his backpack. >> that's my lady right there. >> ashley, this is a good one. her 1-year-old apparently was giving her a run for her money. she put her son into time-out, or not time-out, into the play room with her puppy. she went to take care of the laundry. comes back and something smells like poop. she thought the dog pooped. no, the 1-year-old had poop in his mouth, eating poup inging puppy poop. >> it wasn't his own? >> the puppy's. >> i don't think it matters whose it was. >> i wanted the details. >> there was a lot of people who related to al's story.

revealed a time when he and deborah were intimate and his daughter was watching. anyway, one of our viewers also said they shared that experience. we'll get to that story. my husband and i were intimate and i heard a smack and our 3-year-old daughter's voice said, what's up, dada. she had smacked my husband on his bare bottom to get his attention. that comes from brenda. >> oh, brenda. >> gets you out of the mood, huh? >> wow. >> turn to the dark there. >> we love them. thank you for being honest with us, as well. i hope it felt as good to everybody else as it did to me yesterday. >> good to get it off your chest, share the moments with people. >> and we were embarrassed but happy to spill them on national television. >> yeah. al, what's going on down there? >> wow. >> yeah. >> well, i'm about to pick a supreme court justice for breakfast breakfast. little fruit salad here.
