nbc's chris has the latest on this for us. good morning to you. >> matt, good morning to you. the scene here, far different than what it was just a few short hours ago. protesters remained on the street into the wee hours of the early morning following the shooting of an african-american man that police say was armed and dangerous. but family members say was disabled and carrying nothing more than a book. >> chaos erupting overnight in charlotte, north carolina. after a 43-year-old black man was fatally shot by police at an apartment complex. >> we got shots fired. one suspect down, legacy court. all officers, at 10-4. we've got one suspect down. >> authorities say officers were trying to serve a warrant to a different man tuesday afternoon when they encountered keith lamont scott who they say was

pow, pow, pow, pow been that's it. >> officials say at least a dozen officers suffered nonlife threatening injuries during the protests. now, that was a street sweeper just came by a few moments ago cleaning up some of the debris, the rocks, the bottles left over from the overnight protests. now, the police officer who shot scott was identified tuesday afternoon -- tuesday night, i should say, as brenley vinson, the tw department who is also african-american, has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. matt, savannah, back to you. >> chris klackum down in charlotte. thank you very much. federal terror charges have now been filed against the suspect in those bombing and bombing attempts here in new york and new jersey. this is his personal journal revealed much more about a possible motive in the case.

miguel. good morning to you. >> savannah, good morning. that new criminal complaint says the fbi began watching ahmad rahami outside of his home the day after the bombing. it says he was worried he would be captured before he, quote, carries off his jihad. >> today, the bombing of public places, new details emerging from his criminal complaint. the fbi says ordering materials to build bombs in june, buying some stems items on ebay under his own name. the day of the bombings, rahami drove himself into manhattan through the lincoln tunnel. the ieds injured approximately 31 people in new york. one victim had to have multiple ball bearings removed from her body. after a shoot-out with police, investigators say they found a bullet pierced journal on

inside you usa government continue your lawsuiters against the mujahidean, be it iraq -- he also praised osama bin laden and the journal says with god willing, the sounds of the bombs will be heard in the streets, gunshots to on your police. death to your oppression. tuesday, rahami's father, mohammed, c the fbi in 2014. a neighbor told police mohammed called his son a terrorist after ahmad stabbed his brother in the leg during a fight. mohamed rahami later told the fbi he was just angry and had no reason to think his son was a terrorist. with the officers rahami is accused of woupgd now released from the hospital -- >> how are you feeling? >> i'm feeling like i got shot. i'm glad to be alive. i'm glad to be home.

into the suspect's frequent visits to pakistan and afghanistan. in 2011, rahami married asia bi by raham had i. she was living in pakistan and granted a visa to enter the u.s. overseas when the bombing occurred, she's been questioned by investigators in the united arab emirates, denying any prior knowledge of the attacks, according to a senior law enforcement official. >> we have nothing to indicate at this point that she's involved. >> this morning, a clearer picture of the investigators paint as anti-american and ready to kill. >> the criminal complaint also says raham had i watched jihad videos from his social media account and added a family member took cell phone video of him inside his backyard using incendiary devices. back to you. >> thank you. nbc news analyst once served as the deputy national security adviser under president george

>> good morning. good to see you, matt. >> you were asked about whether raham had i acted alone or whether he had help. we're 24 hours further into this right now. based on what you've heard or read, are you moving in either direction on that? >> it's clear there's more suspicion around the family, especially given the information about this individual crow taken at the home two days prior to the attack. which seems to be some sort of test of the incendiary device. so that begins to raise questions as to whether or not the mi and certainly suggests, as we talked about yesterday, matt, that this was not a hermit terrorist. this was an individual who was still living with his family and not hiding his views. >> even as you say that, juan, we know there was tension between the son and the father. and knowing about unusual activity is different than helping someone. >> absolutely right. and we've got to be very careful about that. but no doubt, authorities are looking very closely at the

and, matt, as we've seen over time, these terrorists, even if family members aren't aware, sometimes have social networks of some sort that are supporting the cause. so i think we have to be careful about the lone wolf narrative and mythology because often these are individuals that have some degree of support. >> and we now know, juan, that there was contact with this individual in the sense of talking to the family members after a report about a domestic violence incident, databases, the fbi said it did an assessment, which is less than an investigation. the fbi never spoke to rahami itself. does that seem like an oversight now? >> well, given what's happened, it does. it seems like talking to him would have been helpful, perhaps checking into his travel records more deeply would have helped, as well. the fbi in some ways is whipsawed, though, because they

intelligence investigations, but they have to protect constitutional rights. their guidelines require them to close investigations and these preliminary investigations if there is is not evidence that raises suspicions. so they can't just keep lists of people that are potentially problematic. they have to have a reason for that and that, really, binds what the fbi can do. >> juan serrati, thank you very much. now to the state of the presidential race, just 48 hillary clinton delivering an address in orlando today, laying out a campaign for what her campaign is calling an inclusive economy that benefits all americans. donald trump is holding a rally in toll told, ohio. >> and clinton is outspending her rival in advertising dollars by a five to one margin. today, the clinton campaign has poured more than $96 million into ads, trump's campaign just

>> his twin sister, tiffany. >> the excessive force and all of that, it's just uncalled for when someone's hands are up. and that's what happened. >> this morning, officer betty shelby's side of the story from her attorney. >> she became concerned about him reaching for his left pocket, despite being commanded not to. >> according to a report in the tulsa world, citing the lead investigator on the place, a vial of p crutcher's vehicle. crutcher's family says even if that is true, it's no justification of deadly force. >> this was an unjustified killing. the position of the family is rather -- on this matter. >> in charlotte last night, protests here have been peaceful. they have call for charges to be

she quited irreconcilable differences and asked for sole physical custody of the six kids. jolie's rep said angelina will always do what's in the best interests of her children. >> brad and angelina both came into the marriage with very different ideas of parenting. over the the the years, they would had tell people one of them was very strict and the other of them was very soft. so parenting, it's safe to say, a pretty tense negotiation at times. >> the couple last spotted together in l.a. in july met in 2003 on the set of "mr. and mrs. smith." >> on the scale of one to ten, how happy are you as a couple? >> when pitt was still married to jennifer aniston. they later divorced and brangelina was born. both pitt and jolie both denied any affair. >> i wouldn't be attracted to a

say, hey, i am entitled to sole physical custody of my children smp. >> so this is what i tell all of my clients. this is how the case is going to turn out. you're going to get 50/50 legal and physical custody, meaning you're both going to share all the important decision bes the kids, their religion, education, etcetera and you'll get roughly 50/50 time with the kids unless there is abuse or neglect and that's not alleged here. >> so why then go this route? >> the short, cryptic we have from jolie is she feels this is in the best interest of the children. >> do we know about prenup? >> we don't. it would shock me that a couple with this level of earnings does not have a prenup. . >> they've been married just two years, legally married.. they were together for about a decade. when you start looking into the division of assets and you're trying to do a divorce proceeding, do you look at that whole period of time, the ten years, or just the time of the legal marriage?

the legal marriage is irrelevant. they are both the parents of those kids. they both have all the rights to visitation and custody. but when it comes to property, marriage is significant. and all the property gained during the marriage will be split roughly 50/50 unless there is that pre-nup. >> and you're concentrating on the right. we keep talking about the kids, the kids, the kids. there are six children here and i think for their sake we have to be very careful about what they say. >> and they both say they want what's best for those kids. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. >> let's g weather now from al. >> we are looking at some warm weather to talk about as we get into the latter part of the week. and widespread warmth with fall starting thursday at 10:21 a.m. tomorrow. look at these temperatures over the next several days. 90s in st. louis. upper 80s, knockville. d.c., upper 80s. jacksonville, upper 80s. as we get out west, here is where the chill comes in. here is where we start to feel a little bit more fall-like. look at these temperatures.

we're back. it's 8:09. a new series in the 20-year-old

attention these days. >> joe fryer has more. what's going on? >> reporter: first the o.j. simpson story inspired a new crop of programs, now the mystery surrounding jonbenet ramsey's murder is getting a lot of attention on tv with two programs drawing two very different conclusions about what happened. this morning, the ramsey family attorney is fighting back, promising to file a lawsuit against one of those shows. as the 20-year anniversary of jonbenet ramsey's death draws generating a wave of renewed interest and controversy. on cbs a two-night series called "the case of jonbenet ramsey" brought together a team of investigators, including the chief investigator for the boulder district attorney at the time of the murder. they spent months digging into the evidence and conclude with a theory point a finger at the girl's 9-year-old brother, burke. >> i think burke was upset with circumstances or christmas

snag a piece of pineapple. after anger he may have struck her with na flashlight. >> i think we all agree on that. >> yes. >> yes. >> reporter: that theory is drawing the ire of burke's attorney who plans to sue for defamation, something he did successfully more than 15 years ago. in a statement he said no fair-minded person can condone this false and heinous television attack by cbs on a young man for ratings and profits. in response, cbs say i by the broadcast and will do so in court. >> i did not kill my daughter, jonbenet. >> i did not have anything to do with it. >> reporter: the ramseys have always maintained their innocence and burke was exonerated by authorities in 1999. still, with the anniversary looming, knowing so many tv programs would surface, burke wanted to get his story out. he broke his silence for the first time during an interview that aired on "dr. phil." >> there still are people that

sister. >> yes. >> what do you say about that? >> look at the evidence or the lack thereof. >> reporter: earlier this month in a documentary on a & e called "the killing of jonbenet, the truth uncovered," experts offered another theory that dna evidence points to an intruder, not someone from the ramsey family. >> i think the unescapable conclusion is that an unidentified male committed this crime. as soon as there's a hit, he wi solve the crime. >> reporter: bottom line, nearly 20 years later, no solid answers and still a number of conflicting theories. the boulder police department says the case remains open and a couple detectives do still receive information on a regular basis. back to you guys. >> joe fryer, thank you. let's take a turn now. al is here with a check of the weather. >> let's see what's happening. we've got the ghost of julia still hanging off the east coast, remnants of payne pushing

goldbloom so he asked that the room stash photos of jeff all over the room. he was kidding. but when the couple got to their room, look at what they found. photos of jeff goldbloom were everywhere, in the bathroom, by the bed, next to the phone, all over the room. the man and his girlfriend were indeed shocked but thankful for the incredible customer service. >> why didn't i think of that? >> there we go. finally to "the voice." we've got some pretty good talent this year but the coaes to woo some of the artist to their team. miley cyrus using her godmother, dolly parton. last night blake shelton an artist who likes reggae music was leaning towards adam but blake brought up somebody close to his heart. >> maybe wondering how i can help you -- >> i'm wondering how you help him. >> i do have some serious connections in that reggae ska
