around 30 miles per hour all the way into the afternoon. 2:00 a.m. near 90. around 3:00, 4:00, low 90s. but the winding still blustery. lots of sunshine. cool start tomorrow morning. by mid morning, upper 60s. low 60s tomorrow morning. and then cduring the afternoon monday, low 80s. low humidity in place tomorrow and again on tuesday. tuesday night late, we might get a shower or thundershower, highs before then the upper 80s. and more of the same on wednesday, too, partly sunny, upper 80s. late wednesday night, perhaps a passing shower or thundershower. greater chance on thursday and likely on friday. but drying out for next weekend. 6:14. next up, we have "reporter's notebook" for you. >> and we're

with more of the morning's top stories. >> i'm eun yang. today tom sherwood and mark segraves are here to talk about the upcoming primary and safetrack. so early morning has been under way and about 8,000 people have already cast their ballots. this there is the last primary of the season. and it's not just about picking the presidential nominee. after all, hillary clinton has claimed the nomination, but d.c. has to select delegates to send to the convention and has to elect four council members in four wards. so the most watched race right now is for ward 7. >> not the presidential. >> not in d.c., it's for ward 7. because strvincent gray is goinp against yvette alexander. >> basic news is after all the legal troubles of the former mayor, the scandal over his

campaign, he's trying to make a comeback politically. he's run a strong race in ward 7. and many people want him to win because they felt like he was mistreated by the prosecutors. he was never indicted. he feels very angry about all of that. he's running very hard geks . >> and what does it mean about the mayor? >> i think my colleague would acknowledge that the heat in the city council race is whether or not it's a referendum on bowser. because there are people she picked and supported and are allies. so if any of those three lose, that's a loss for the mayor because they're seen as pretty reliable votes to mayor bowser when she needs the support of the council. and of course ward

gray gets elected to the d.c. council, this is a mayor's worst nightmare is to have a former mayor on the council. because look what former mayor barry was able to do. >> and mae is running as incumbent and she's you vulnerable. >> yeah, only 100 votes. but there are many more candidates. so i don't know where all the other supporters of all the other candidates who are not running this time, where will they go. some of the ruby mae people think she brought the dissenters into her camp. but it's a very uncertain race there p. >> whenever i'm in ward 8 which is typically at a crime scene lastly, trayon white is there. he's all over the place. is he not letting the grass grow

he is all over the place. he's running a hard campaign. so i think that's one to watch. >> that is another instance where some of the support that muriel bowser has given to ruby cuts both ways in terms of some people who don't like the mayor are not going to support ruby. >> and this wizards development going up and a lot of people are not happy about that. and then they look at the homicide rate, and particularly ward 7 where the homicide straight off the charts right now. >> and even historic anacostina a very proceeding sgressive pol active opening up and coming in to that neighborhood and not that his shop will be bad, but that will create other shops for people to come in and push out the people in anacostia. so a lot of tension east of the river both ward 7 and ward 8, some of it will

tuesday in the election. >> and how will voter turnout affect this? >> well, you have to turn out to win, but there are a lot of people who feel strongly about the candidates one way or the other. a lot of people i think do want to vote for hillary clinton in this case. bernie sanders had that event this past week in the city. and so let's just see how it plays out. >> sanders has said that he's still looking to win washington, d.c. >> but he has virtually no campaign apparatus here. he's laid off a lot of people. so we're coming to the end of the democratic campaign and that will all play out to the july 25 convention in philadelphia. >> and you just talked to the d.c. auditor about some problems with the board of elections. >> auditor put out a 19 page report that was searing in its criticism of the board of elections. th a

members and they're saying we did not do this, but they did just a random test of the voter rolls and 33 dead people still registered and that's just a small simple. they picked 33 at ran tomorrow of people who had died in the city last couple of years. all 33 were on the list. there were like 500, close to 500 people i hdentically duply indicate. mark mark segraves, you're on there twice. you could vote twice if you wanted to. and there were just errors. i interviewed a young woman in ward 7 and she went to vote, she's 22, she voted there have before. she got there, they didn't know who she was, she had to cast a special ballot. so the board says after this primary, it will start turning its attention to fixing all these problems. but there are a lot of problems. >> every election year in the district of columbia, there are promises after that that they will fix the system. this has been and ongoing problem for many years and every year it seems to be a different problem. and

about, they found nearly a quarter inactive voters that are still on the rolls. and they're used beyond just vote r rolls. they use it for the jury pool. so it needs to be cleaned up. >> and the voting machines, i've voted early, the voting machines are early and pretty easy to use, but they are new. so anytime you introduce something new, that will cause backup as people try to figure out what to do. although you can ask for a paper ballot. >> you've been focusing onwards 7 and 8. what about the other two races? >> well, you've got ward 7, ward 8, and then at large races. david grasso, not much happening there. >> because he's not on the ballot until november. >> he's an independent. vincent orange is running and he has two challenges, garber and

height. i've done three debates with them and vin vincent orange says the polling has him address. >> because he's a reliable vote of the mayor. >> and white has basically said his campaign is it's time for a change, vincent orange has incumbent there for the people. garber accuses orange of being corrupt, citing a small incident last year with the health inspector that a lot of people are familiar with. so it will be interesting to see how that goes. orange has been the on the council for a long, long time. >> seems to be in a strong position going into the election. we'll take a yik bre ke a q. stay with us.

welcome back to reporter's

notebook. thanks for being here, gentlemen. >> we have to talk seriously about metro, but i want to ask you about a fun thing that has happened. the michelin guy. >> yes. >> you're a big foodie person. what does that mean? >> it legitimizes d.c. as a real food town. i feel like the food scene hasn't changed in ten years. >> it's so excessive. hard to get a reservation. >> that's already true sf. >> not for you. >> no, i waited in line for two hours. but there are only a few cities and it really says, okay, we're going to -- >> who are you? >> there are so many restaurants to choose from. >> for the record here, i have never been there, but i am a reporter, i can read things as opposed to having opinions. and it's always ranked highly. >> it's huge,

city. i think it's great. you can only get three stars and it's really hard. how is metro going? >> you can take pmetro to many restaurants around the town, but it's been one week since metro unveiled it safetrack promise. commuters are tastrophecatastro. >> a subtle catastrophe -- >> this show? >> yeah, in show. a local hospitality workers union, several thousand people, i talked to many who work early morning, late night, all the lower income workers, they can't take uber, they can't take lyft. hid of the restaurant union said this is an expensive interruption for people. there is no place to drive. you can't use the car sees

rapid bus rails, lines, wherever the metro is not working. they want buses on the street to get people in and out. >> that's one thing mayor bowser says that is still in the works. she's considering extending circulator hours until 3:00 a.m. and adding route which is might help some of that slack. the issue with circulator is that it primarily stays again in the district of columbia. so a lot of the employees come into the district from maryland and virginia. >> downtown is choking in traffic already. you know, the enforcement of illegal parking by people in rush hour zones, buses can't get through intersections because cars are not following the rules. it's a real mess even before we talk about the people who say i'm just going to drive my car to work because i'm not going to put up with metro. >> there are more cars on the road right now. the mayor says she was going to

control officers. but she didn't have enough leeway or time to train them. >> the d.c. police department, and you go to any event where d.c. police officers are blocking roads for any reason, they sit in their cars most of them, i guess there are complaints daily as i go around the city, the police department gave up on traffic control. they're saying we have more important issues like kram and safety and all that. but what is more important than the safety peopling in and out of and around the city where we live and work? >> that's why she wants to hire these additional officers. you don't think that will make a difference? 20 now and 20 in the fall. >> 20 actually we could equates to four or five intersections that they can cover. and i tweeted video of a traffic control officer who had actually given up on her intersections because no one will listen to her. and so if the

maybe to tom's point, if there was someone with a gun and badge in that intersection, you know, with a little bit more training, maybe then drivers would listen and take heed. >> are you suggesting taking officers off of duty? >> i'm not trying to be chief of police like tom is and i'm not suggesting anything. just want her to know -- >> i've talked on this on other forums. during rush hour, it should be all hands on deck trying to get traffic moving. not just the suburbs, but around the city. they don't have to be using cops all day long. >> well, this has been really fun. >> has it? are we out of time? >> no, we have a minute left. on your last parting thoughts. tom sherwood. only a minute, though. >> after this because it's sunday morning, i think we should have a closing prayer. >> i can lead that if you'd like. >> on a somber note, we're at 55 homicides in the district of

those murders occurred east of the river. 7th and 6th police district. and that is something that has that community absolutely outraged and they realdo not fe like people are paying attention and what what vincent gray is basing his run on. but we're on track to have more homicide s city wide than we di last year, but the jvast majoriy coming east of the river. >> well, thank you very much. >> is this the first time you've done reporter"reporter's notebo? >> i think i did it once. >> viewers forgot. >> now they won't. thanks for joining us. hope you have a great day. time is 6:30 and we a

we do know the shooter is dead. let's listen in. >> seminole county sheriff's office, we have great cooperation from the fbi, all our law enforcement agencies. fire departments from orlando, seminole county and orange county. and all of the hospital personnel that have been working through the night. we are strong, resilient community. tonight we had a crime that will have a lasting effect on our community. we need to stand strong. we need to be supportive of the victims and their families. i'll ask the chief to explain what happened. >> good morning. so at the approximately 2:02 this morning, we had an officer working at pulse night club who responded to shots fired. our officer engaged in a gun battle with that suspect. the

back in inside the club where more shots were fired. it did turn into a hostage situation. from there, obviously multiple officers from various agencies responded. s.w.a.t. team responded. at approximately 05:00 this morning, the decision was made to rescue hostages that were in there. our s.w.a.t. officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect. the suspect is dead. he appeared to be carrying a rifle, assault type rifle and handgun and had some type of device on him. that's what we're doing right now, checking the area for the devices. there are multiple people that are dead inside. i don't want to give anyone a number right now, but multiple people are dead inside pulse night club. and at least 42 people have been transported

around. so can to ndo not have an exact temperature obviously condolences go out to friends and family. we'll continue to work with the law enforcement on the joint investigation. and i'll turn it over to the sheriff. >> thank you, chief. while this certainly is a tragedy for our community, i will reiterate what the mayor dyer said, that this community is resilient and this is a time in which we all should come together. the orange county sheriff's office responded along with the orlando police department to the initial incident. there was definitely sheriffs involved with the orlando police personnel on the initial entry just after 2:00 a.m. this morning. in addition to that, members of my hazardous device team responded and

as well. we have had as many as about 100 of high personnel who have been actively engaged in this incident. i will also reiterate that this is a collaborative effort there our federal, state and local law enforcement authorities. at this time, the central florida intelligence exchange center has been activated. that is our intelligence sharing consortium for this region. we will be working along with the fbi as well as the other law enforcement agencies as this investigation continues. again, what i will say to our community is that if you are aware of any of the activities that may have led up to this horrific scene, to share that information with your local law enforcement authorities.

as we move forward, we will make every effort that we can to ensure that this community remains a safe and secure community. we have that commitment from all of the local law enforcement agencies. we have multiple sheriffs' offices and police agencies who have committed to work to that endeavor. and if you see some suspicious type activity, we have shared with this community in the past that our expectation is that you say something about it. if there is anything that looks unusual, at this point this is an incident as i see it that we can certainly classify as a domestic terror incident. at this point i believe the next speaker will be the supervisor agent in charge of the regional florida department of law enforcement officer,ff

danny pane. >> thank you, sheriff. i'll reiterate a couple things that were already said, but important employee though oldhly important employee though ol i important, do we consider this an act of terrorism. absolutely. we're investigating this as an acts of terrorism. anytime that we have potentially dozens of victims in any of our communities i think we can qualify that as a terrorist activity. whether that's a domestic terrorist or international one is certainly something that we will get to the bottom of. we're glad to have the partnerships that we've already spoken about, particularly the partnership of the fbi here. one of the important things that we'll get to the bottom of, did we have any indicators before this event happened today. we will have more information i'm sure coming to all of you about who this individual is, was he a lone wolf, does he have any associates. those are certainly all of the

now as part of the intelligence and investigative activities. the state of florida is a huge state. certainly for a lot of different reasons, one of them tourism in our industry and our businesses here and we have no suggestion that there is any threat to either of those either today or in the near future. but that certainly is a concern. right now it's important the message we want to put out, we have no indication of other types of activities similar to last night's activities either in the state of florida or anywhere else in the nation right now. but we are putting every resource collective resource that we have together to validate that statement and to ensure the safety of the remainder of our citizens not only through today, but through the next weeks. as the sheriff said, i really want to reiterate the point, our see something say something campaign is valid, it works. we want to encourage people to use that. as you come up with and you're aware of information that is concerning to you, it's concng

if you're aware of information relative to people either conversations, social media or actions of people in our community that you believe could threaten the rest of us, please let law enforcement though. use those tools to let law enforcement be aware of that information so that we can act on it. i'll turnover the rest of the interview now to our assistant special agent in charge for the fbi orlando office, ron hopper. >> thank you, danny. let me start by offering condolences to all the friends and family members that are victims to this senseless tragic act of violence this morning. fbi stands shoulder to shoulder with everyone you see here to address this matter. we are not just looking at this from one perspective. i will tell you that every resource in the fbi will be brought to bear on this investigation. and i would echo with what mr. banks just said, at this time, at this particular time, there is to reason to believe, we

no credible or singular information to suggest that this is any further threat to orlando or the surrounding area as it relates relates to this particular incident. the fbi is known for slow, methodical detailed investigations. we will follow the facts. we will see where they lead us to and we will take them to the ultimate end. there is nothing we won't to do to get to the bottom of will case and we will present any information we can when we can and our able to present to you. we look forward to being completely transparent as possible. i will tell you that we here in the orlando region and the fbi and the partnerships we share, we take the see something say something one step further. if you see something and you say something, we will do something. so if you ever some information no matter how small you think it may be, that would relate back to today's events, please share it with us. and i would urge you to call the

1-800-call-fbi public access line. we have phones standing by to take any type much lead or information whatsoever. we're conducting countless interviews and you will see a huge presence in the fbi in the coming days to resolve this matter. thank you. >> i want to add a few more things. there were at least nine officers involved in the shooting of the suspect. one of our officers was injured. it appears his kevlar helmet saved his life. so he has an injury to his eye, but it looks like the bullet did hit his kevlar helmet. so nine officers involved in the shooting, one officer injured, but not that seriously. so it looks like the kevlar helmet saved his life. i think we'll take questions now. >> what do you know about the gunman? >> we'll turn everything when the gunman over to the fbi. [ inaudible question ]

>> we're looking probably in the range of 20, but we don't want to give you an exact figure. like i said, multiple people transported to the hospital. unfortunately, there are people we're trying to clear the pulse night club of all of any devices that we did find a device on the suspect himself. and possibly his car. so we're trying to clear all that and unfortunately there, are people who have succumbed to gun the shot wounds maybe around 20 inside of the night club. >> can you go into more detail about your time line once you were able to stop the suspect and get in there? i know you had some of the surviving victims being interviewed. >> absolutely. so again, 02:00 hours, our officer working extra duty there responds to shots fired. he and then two other officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect. this developed into a hostage situation. so right about a little after

we were being contacted by people in the bathroom, nearby at least 15 people that were in a separate area. and our biggest concern was future loss of life. we wanted to save those people. so we did an entry and exchanged gunfire with the suspect again after explosive devices were used after our bear cat was used to get through the withdrawal. and from there, we exchanged n gunfire and he was dead at the scene. s.w.a.t. team can d. a great job. at least 30 people were saved during that rescue. [ inaudible question ] >> i would say we're looking into all angles right now. we do have suggestions that that individual may have leanings towards that particular ideology, but right now w

so we're still running everything on the ground. [ inaudible question ] >> from what we know, we don't know that that has any specific impact on the actions taken this evening. not yet. >> you said 40 taken to the hospital and approximately 20 dead? >> about 42 taken to three area hospitals and approximately 20 dead inside the club. i don't want to give you an exact number until we have that. >> what ideology are you referring it to is this. >> the question was whether it was tied to terrorist activity or islamic state activity. we're always looking into this. >> any relation to the shooting we saw on friday? >> no, there is no indication that this was related to the christina grimmie case.

>> right at the entrance we believe. it's all part of the investigation. >> was it one of your officers? >> or officur officer shot the . there were some devices found unknown if they're real or not. so the orange county explosive team is checking for devices right now. >> you can characterize the shooter as somebody who just came here to randomly shoot at people or was he organized in a sense? >> it appears that he was organized and well prepared. >> can you give a description of the shooter? >> i don't have an exact description. >> is he local? >> he's not from this area. [ inaudible question ] >> can't comment on whether a u.s. citizen or not at this time because we're still trying to positively identify him. [ inaudible question ] >> we don'tea

unturned, so i said there is a possibility. we will look at everything. >>. [ inaudible question ] >> there was a report of shots fired that turned out to be not true. there was some type of disturbance related to all the people who were responding, but that was taken care of pretty quickly. but no shots fired at orc. no witness accounts of second shooters that we're aware of. [ inaudible question ] >> so the officer was working extra duty in full uniform at the night club at about 02:00 hours, he responded to gunfire. and at that point, engaged in a gun battle with the suspect, unknown about if he hit the suspect at that time. two other officers were nearby and also engaged the suspect, as well. and like i said,

if he was hit during that exchan exchange. but that did turn into a hostage situation and obviously s.w.a.t. team, multiple agencies responded. >> any indication whether the gunman continued to shoot people inside after he went back in the second time is this. >> that's all part of the investigation. [ inaudible question ] >> unknown at this time. we had indications that there were approximately 320 people total in the club when it was open tonight. like i said, we rescued about 30 people, about 42 people were transported to area hospitals. [ inaudible question ] >> absolutely. we were again contacted by humu tip people from inside the club alive and in a separate part of the club. so we made the decision fpmullt club alive and in a separate part of the club. so we made the decision fp to go explosive entry to get to those people. we used the

help defeat the wall and from there we were able to rescue people. and our s.w.a.t. team encountered the suspect somewhere in that area near one of the doorway entrances. and shot and killed him. [ inaudible question ] >> the noises that you hear when you were out here were two distractionary devices. [ inaudible question ] >> many times s.w.a.t. team members use distractionary devices just for that, to distract the suspect to gain that advantage. >> do you know what the condition of those in the hospital? >> you'll being treated for gunshot wounds. i can't give you exact conditions. >> what about the device? i know you said that there was a possible bomb. are you at all -- >> our s.w.a.t. officers highly trained for that situation, but we take all that into account. >> what it

>> obviously we're all going to work together to investigate this from start to finish. the fbi will be the lead investigative agency for this incident. florida department of law enforcement will assist with the actual officer-involved shooting portion of the case. [ inaudible question ] >> we just know he had something on him, so we just say suspicious device. >> we'll prlan for the next update at 9:30. >> thank you. you heard there from orlando police the fbi and the local county sheriff there, as well. . estimating that 20 people approximately were killed in a night club shooting in south orlando, pulse night club, popular gay night club. 42 other people transported to area hospitals. it happened this way according

police officer working security at pulse night club when at the 2:00 eastern time, in 2:00 in the morning, gunfire from a man who walked this carrying assault-style rifle and also a handgun. that officer exchanged gunfire with the gunman, turned into a hostage situation is the way it was described there by police at 5:00 5:00 a.m., they made the decision to go in and engage the shooter and shooter was killed. let's bring in clint van zam you can joining us on the phone. clip clint, to your trained hear, what did you hear? >> we have at least one shooter involved and the fbi has a name but they are trying to confirm who they believe the shooter can be. this is be somebody that began the shooting outside the popular

to have those two weapons for most of us, that suggests pre-planning, that he planned on doing this, that he planned on some type of a confrontation with police to have those type of heavy weaponry. we were told he engaged with the first officer on scene working the club off duty, two more officers responded. so you had three officers in a shoot-out with the suspect and the suspect then retreats into the bar where he takes hostages. multiple people hostage, but as well as firing the weapon at the same time. police get to the point where information they developed both from outside and from people inside calling out on cellphones suggest a terrible high level of danger. so the s.w.a.t. team use an explosive device probably to blo

a hole in the wall. s.w.a.t. officers throw flash bangs which are diversionary devices to try to get the shooter to look one way when they're coming the other. and basically killed him in the shoot skrout. b shoot-out. but at least 20 killed, 30 people injured in a horrible mass casualty incident. law enforcement at this point is calling it a domestic terror. obviously with this many killed wound, it's a terroristic time of agent. the question is who did it, what was his purpose, did he just not like this bar or somebody in it, was it a national terrorist incident, we don't know yet. but fbi knows the name of the individual, so i think we can be assure that had they're going over anything that relates to this guy from his cellphone to his e-mail to we

hopefully they will pin that down very quickly. because one of the things they need to know, was somebody else involved. was there somebody providing logistical support who may be on the run right now. that's why time is critical not only for the lives of the survivor, but to round up anybody else who live been involved. >> orlando police saying there was no witness accounts that suggested there was a second shooter so for now they believe it was a single shooter incident. clint thank you very much. nine officers engaged, one injured when hit in the head but saved according to police there by his kevlar helmet. again, orlando police saying approximately 20 dead inside pulse night club, a popular gay night club in south orlando. 42 more victims transported to three area hospitals. this is a situation that began at 2:00 in the morning orlando time when a man walked in with a police say

shooting. an orlando police officer uniformed engaged the man, it turned into a hostage situation and lasted until 5:00 in the morning. this has been an nbc news report. much more throughout the day on nbcwashington.com and tonight on nbc nightly news oig. . we continue to follow the breaking news out of orlando where police have killed the gunman who killed perhaps up to 20 people inside of the gay night club this morning. we know shots rang out around 2:00 this morning at the pulse night club. what we are hearing now, still a very, very active scene. a bomb squad is on the scene right now checking out a device because what we've learned about the shooter at this point is that he had a device on him along with an assault

from police. we mentioned multiple people dead, 42 others treated at area hospitals. as far as the gunman is concerned, we were told by officials that they don't know -- that he's actually not from the orlando area, but they don't know if he worked alone or had any associates. but he appeared to be very organized and very prepared for this attack. the fbi, though, confirming that no credible -- or they have no credible reason to believe that there is further threat to the area. >> and a lot of people have been asking about the connection to the shooting just yesterday of "the voice" star. and that was about 3 1/2 miles away and police said that they have no reason to believe it's in any way connected to that incident. but the police did go as far as saying that they can classify this as a domestic terror incident. it was a hostage situation. and again, as many as 20 people dead inside this gay night club in south orlando. 42 people taken to the hospital. it was a hostage situation. we wi s
