>> reporter: good morning to you, craig. this terrifying ordeal began around 6:00 p.m. last night, a shooter rampaging the city of kalamazoo here. three different shooting locations and as you mentioned, among the victims, a 14-year-old girl. a shooting spree that rocked kalamazoo, michigan, began here, just before 6:00 p.m. in the parking lot of this apartment complex. a mother with her three children gunned down. right now she is in serious condition. then shortly after 10:00 p.m., more shots, a fire and his 18-year-old son killed at a local car dealership. >> we have somebody just driving around, finding people and shooting them dead in their tracks.. >> reporter: the shots continued 15 minutes later up the road at a cracker barrel restaurant, five people in two separate cars shot. >> 5581 south 9th street, 5581 south 9th street a a cracker barrel, shots fired. >> reporter: four women dead at

14-year-old girl, is said to be in grave condition. at 12:40 a.m., more than six hours after the first shots rang out, 45-year-old jason brian dalton was taken into custody, police say without incident. overnight, police searching his home and vehicle where they say they found a gun. the victims appear to have been chosen at random. >> we're very confident that we have the right person in custody. we have significant evidence. >> reporter: as you sa, they are confident they have the right man. as to what evidence they have tying him to the shooting beyond the gun they found in his car they would not elaborate. at this point, a motive is unknown. and authorities say that is the million dollar question this morning. guys? >> awful scene there in kalamazoo, michigan, thank you. to politics now and donald trump's big victory in south carolina. the republican front-runner now with two primary wins under his belt. it was a neck and neck race for second place. we have full coverage and

sides. but let's begin with nbc's gabe gutierrez in tennessee. good morning. >> reporter: sheinelle, good morning. overnight, marco rubio's campaign raced here to tennessee for a rally later today. already looking ahead to super tuesday. but the man to beat, that brash billionaire who defied all odd s. roaring to victory in south carolina this morning, donald trump is steam rolling toward the gop nomination. >> nothingasy about running for president, i can tell you. it is tough. it is nasty. it is mean. it is vicious. it is beautiful. >> reporter: but surging to second place, mco rubio, riding the endorsement of popular governor nikki haley. >> now the children of the reagan revolution are ready to assume the mantle of leadership. >> reporter: and bouncing back from a disastrous finish in new hampshire. >> after tonight this has become a three-person race and we will

>> reporter: that race now intensifying rubio edging out ted cruz who fought hard for evangelicals in the first primary of the south, which drew record turnout. now, a heated battle over who can stop the trump juggernaut. >> we are the only campaign that has beaten and can beat donald trump. >> reporter: and the scramble is on for donors after the end of the political dynasty. >> tonight i am suspending my campaign. yeah, yeah. >> reporter: an emotional jeb bush finishing fourth in single digits despite his brother and mother campaigning for him. two floridians went into south cacalina, only one emerged. >> i feel like a lot of the people that were on jeb's team are people we will welcome on our team. >> reporter: now on to nevada where republicans will caucus on tuesday. trump towering over vegas, rubio

cruz rolling the dice, trying to regain momentum. >> come out and caucus for ted. >> let's put this thing away and let's make america great again. thank you very much. thank you very much. >> reporter: john kasich wasn't even in south carolina last night, choosing instead to focus on super tuesday battles in the northeast and the midwest. dr. ben carson finished a distant sixth, but he's vowing to stay in the race. sheinelle. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you. >> chuck todd is moderator of "meet the press." good morning to you. >> good morning,raig. >> as he'll tell you later this morning, it waa huge night for donald trump, record turnout in south carolina. 46 counties in south colina. donald trump won all but three. is his nomination a foregone conclusion at this point, chuck? >> if this were any other republican, that's what we would be talking about this morning. no other republican has won back-to-back like this since 1980 and not become the

that's how big and important this win is. look, cruz and rubio have resources. cruz and rubio have paths to the nomination, no doubt about it. but donald trump has the easiest path to the nomination now. the question is,, does this stay a three-way race, narrowed down two? the only question that republicans had about trump now is whether he can win in a one on one. but will we get there in time to test that premise or will he have already racked up enough delegates and enough wins by, say, the end of march that it won't matter anymore? and i think that's what is going to be the next ten@ days, this sort of fight between cruz and rubio to become the trump alternative, does it sort itself out in time to actually create a stop trump movement that can succeed. >> we have been sifting through some of the exit polling this morning and there was one particular nugget that really caught our attention, want to put it on our screen for our viewers at home. a question asked of south

support banning muslims from entering the united states. 74% of folks yesterday said they supported that. what does that tell you, chuck? >> look, i think donald trump's more in tune with the republican electorate than anybody else. not marco rubio, not jeb bush, why he's out of this race, not even ted cruz and i think that that -- that has beennhat is probably the -- probably the best explanation f why other republicans have failed where donald trumpas succeeded. he has dictated the terms of the race, he's been the guy to be the most declaratate, toughest talk, whether it is on immigration, whether it is on dealing with isis or muslims, and that talk has what has animated the republican base. so, again, i think it shows you donald trump's more in tune with where the republican party is than everybody else running. >> to be clear, that's banning muslims who are not u.s. citizens from entering the country by the way. don't go away. we want to come back to you in a moment. >> all right. >> we turn to the d docrats

on top in the caucuses in nevada on satuay. it is giving her a boost heading into south carolina, but bernie sanders says he's only begun to fight. nbc's kristen welker is in las vegas. good morning. >> reporter: sheinelle, good morning to u. the clinton campaign is celebrating thts morning and also breathing a big sigh of relief. the polls were deadlocked heading into the caucuses here, but in the end, clinton pulled off a decisive victory, restoring the momentum she lost after that bruising defeat in new hampshire. >> hello, houston! >> reporter: hillary clinton taking her campaign to the lone star state saturday night. >> we just won nevada! >> reporter: a texas-sized celebration, coming on the heels of a pivotal win for clinton, who clinched the nevada caucuses earlier in the day. >> this one's for you. i want to congratulate senator sanders on a hard fought race here. >> reporter: senator sanders conceding before a crowd of

>> they ran very aggressive, effective campaignnnd i applaud them for their efforts. >> reporter: the loss raises questions about sanders strength and more derse states. african-americans chose clinton 76-22%. still, sanders urged his supporters not to g ge up. >> i believe that wn democrats assemble in philadelphia, in july, at that convention, we are going to see the results of one of the great political upsets in the history of the united states. >> reportfr: and there are some encouraging signs. sanders won more latino votes here and trounced clinton among yoyog caucusgoers, netting 72%. clinton ramping up her outreach. >> it is not enough just to make college more affordable. you need help right now with the debt you already have. >> reporter: the win gives clinton a bump, as she heads into south carolina, super tuesday, and southern states,

a large part of the electorate. actor morgan freeman narrating another ad for clinton suggesting hillary has always stood with us. >> and makes their mothers fight for justice her own. >> reporter: but for her supporters in nevada, it is all about savoring this moment. >> hillary! hillary! >> thank you. thank you so much. >> reporter: secretary clinton will spend the next two days fund-raising in california trying to match the millions that senator sanders raised online. he outpaced her in fund-raising in january, but she has nearly twice the amount of cash on hand. sheinelle, craig, back to you. >> thank you. let's bring in chuck todd once again. you can see it on hillary clinton's face. she looked relieved last night with really a solid win. how critical was this win for her campaign and for bernie sanders, how damaging was it for him? especially in terms of his momentum? >> look, a loss here for hillary clinton would have meant the first three contests she would have lost two out of three, and barely the one that she won was won by an eyelash in iowa.

now, she's got two wins under her belt. and now the question is bernie sanders, where can he win with the diverse electorate. this was his best shot to puncture that myth ology he can't win when the electorate is more diverse. this every operationally nevada was perfect for him. you could bring in new voters, same day voter registry, all those things, caucus process, benefits sanders' enthusiasm more than clinton. everything was in place for him, he outspent her, had more resources than she did and yet she won. what now -- the pressure is on sanders. where does he win? the next 12 contests, it is easy to see how clinton rolls eight of the 12 if not more. can he beat her in texas or tennessee or georgia or virginia? those are the four biggest states that are voting on seper tuesday. if he can't win any of those four, then i think we know that she's going to be the presumptive nominee on march 2nd and while sanders will get a lot of delegates and will make sure she h to go all the way to

delegate lead that can't be surpassed by sanders and that's what made nevada so significant yesterday. >> let's take a closer look at some of the numbers you mentioned, 76% hillary won of the black voters in nevada. once again, bernie sanders, he has this going for him, he took the younger voters, 72% of the voters under the age of 45. does clinton then still have to worry about those millennials? what does she do to target the younger voters? >> clinton's challenge now is long-term here. she's going to be in this interesting spot where she's not going to go negative on sanders anyme. they're going to act as if they have control of this nomination. she has to start figuring out how she's goioi to appeal to younger voters. she can't alienate these bernie supporters. i think that's going to be a challenge for her. she's not going to win them over, but how does she start becoming their s sond choice. how does she start becoming somebody that they cannot jus live with, but get potentially

a challenge for her because so far she has yet to appeal to any younger demographic. >> chuck, thank you. next time if we have more time, you'll have to tell us how you managed to get sleep because i was watching you last night when i went to bed. >> well, that's all right, sleep, i'll sleep in 2017. >> who needs it, right. we'll look for more on "meet the press" where your guests are donald trump and senators marco rubio, ted cruz and bernie sanders. >> those candidates are back on the stump today, this morning jeb bush is home in florida. hours after he suspended his campaign during an emotional post election speech, is this the end of the bush dynasty? nbc's andrea mitchell is here with us this morning. good to see you. >> good to see you. good morning, craig, sheinelle. we, jeb bush began this campaign as the front-runner. he had the name, the legacy, the money. perhaps that was the problem. >> the people of iowa andnd new hampshire and souththarolina have spoken. and raley respect their decision. tonight, i'm suspending my campaign.

for jeb bush came saturday night. noticeably emotional moment for bush after his fourth place finish in south carolina. earlier this week, south carolina governor nikki haley's endorsement of marco rubio signaled how the state's primary would play out. >> i'm disappointed she didn't endorse me. >> reporter: you could say the campaign was in trouble before it even started. his mother famously telling matt lauer in 2013 -- >> there are other people out there that are very qualified there that are very qualified ana we had enough bushes. >> reporter: bush decided it was his year. >> i'm a candidate for president of the united states of america! >> reporter: until he was upstaged the very next day when donald trump annnced his candidacy. which bush didn't consider a serious threat until it was too late. >> one at a time. >> reporter: there were also awkward moments o the trail. >> to get back in the business

please clap. [ applause ] >> reporter: at first the b bh name didn't even appear on his posters, only at the end did he bring in his famous family. >> presidency is a serious job that requires sound judgment. >> i'm thrilled to be the mother of one of the greatest men i know. >> reporter: still, despite a $100 million super pac, money couldn't buy him votes. >> we don't have to go vote, i guess. it is all finished. >> reporter: in the end, the son long thought to be the best qualified of his generation to run for president couldn't persuade voters to embrace another bush. >> thank you for the opportunity to run for the greatest office on the face of the earth. i love you all. god bless you. >> so in the year of the outsider, jeb bush, son and brother of presidents, just out of tune with the mood of the voters. now with the family legacy going to continue, it is going to have to be up to the next generation. perhaps jeb's son george p. bushl who holds elected office in texas already.

bush did have, those mainstreaea moderate voters, where do they go now? >> and the money, the big donors. as of last week, he was pleading with donors to come up with a million dollars to help him get to nevada and they said no. that money and him -- his endorsement, i think the famy endorsement has to go to marco rubio. i talked to some people even though he feels marco rubio from florida, his protege, was, you know, jumped his p pce and shouldn't have been running and they had a contentiousus rivalry, i think they're going to have to end up there. and one of the top bush family members said to me, rubio is going to have to get a lot of experience around him because he has to prove he's up to the task. >> andreb mitchell, good to see you in the flesh, thank you so much. >> good to see you. >> let's talk about the forecast now, dylan is here with a check of the weather. was quite pleasant yesterday in the east. people were outside, takg their coats off. >> it is going to be just as pleasant today, correct? >> not going to be 61, but still in the 50s today. 61 degrees in central park,

and we are going to see temperatures remain above average. we do have some rain, though, especially moving through west virginia and this extends down to texas too. look at some of the heavier rain moving through charleston, west virginia, and eastern west virginia. this could produce some brief flash flooding because of the fact we could see an inch, inch and a half of rain in a short period of time. significant rainfall through texas. it has been a while since we have seen the rain, dallas hasn't seen rain since the beginning of january. austin, last 44 days,icked up florida, winds will be picking up out of the east later thisafter snoon, not as strong as the past few days. no advisory over the atlantic waters so that's good news. first alert forecast calling for seasonal afternoon as far as the temperatures are concerned. highs will be reaching into the upper 70s, a mix of sun an clouds today. mostly rain free, but the next

monday, tuesday, wednesday, an approaching cold front and that's your latest forecast. >> thank you, dylan. up next on "today," the dangers of a new synthetic d dg that has officials sounding the alarm. are your kids at risk? we'll talk about it. but firs i think we should've taken a left at the river.tarzan know where tarzan go! tarzan does not know where tarzan go. hey, excuse me, do you know where the waterfall is? waterfall? no, me tarzan, king of jungle. why don't you want to just ask somebody? if you're a couple, you fight over directions. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. oh ohhhhh it's what you do.

carolina and democratic caucus in nevada. marco rubio came in second. ted cruz in close third and jeb bush dropped out of the race. meantime, bernie sanders is urging his supporters not to give up. secretary of state john kerry says a provisional agreement in principle has been reached on a cease-fire in syria at a news conference this mornqng in jordan. he said details are still being worked out but he hopes president obama and russian president vladimir putin would talk about that as soon as possible and proceed with implementation. bill cosby's wife expected to face tough questions when she's deposed in a civil case against him tomorrow. camille cosby will@ be giving her deposition in a defamation suit brought by women who say they were victims of bill cosby's alleged sexual miscduct. their lawyer wants to hear from the interentertainer's wife of 52 years who worked as his business manager. weather was pleasant, really pleasant. >> really nice. >> really nice. >> what are they going to say,

60s in february. i think everybody is on the same page here it going to be a little cooler today, but still a beautiful day. most of the country still enjoying temperatures well above average. but eventually that jet strtrm will dip to the south and bring more seasonable temperatures. especially throughhe east coast. but back through dallas today, look for highs in the lower 70s. 60 tomorrow. and 58 degrees as we go into tuesday. this frontal system is going to produce a couple of areas of low pressure that w wl ride along it. we'll see some rain, much needed rain through texas today. that will stretch to the gulf coast. also see some heavier pockets of rain through west virginia and tomorrow we're going to see more rain likely down across the gulf coast. some isolated thunderstorms too. and some light snow begins to move into the rockies and temperatures in the northeast will continue%to cool back down to the 30s and 40s. i think i found some girls who maybe have gone to the american girl store while in new york. what did you think when you walked in? how was it? >> amazing.

so her friendes say they weren't shocked when she told them she wanted to try lsd during a sleepover with a girlfriend at her house. >> she was really into the beatles and they obviously talk about that kind of thing in their songs. >> reporter: this is a photo of tara taken just moments after she took the drug. >> the reason they had selected the night of the 10th was because tara's parents were going to beone in the morning for a sporting event for her sister. >> reporr: tara and her friend planned it all out and as teenagers do, they hadheir friends out taking photos and videos. this is some of the video taken that night. the video showed investigators how the night went from a fun, giggly high -- >> how do you feel, tara? >> i don't know. >> reporter: -- to this. tara lying unresponsive on the basement floor. she was in serious trouble. but her friend never woke tara's

and she never called 911. tara died just hours later from one small dose. tara's family was heart broken and investigators baffled. it turned out tara had no idea she was really taking a synthetic drug called 25i. >> she had a high level of this drug, 25i. >> had you ever heard --- >> never heard of it and i'm sure tara hadn't either. i wish i would have gone downstairs. i probably would have detected something off. i didn't because i didn't want to infringe on their space. >> reporter: chuck rosenberg said most thin sinnsynthetic drugs come from china. how sayseasy is it for someone in america to buy these chemicals? >> too easy, extremely easy. somebody sits down at their keyboard, orders it over the internet and it shows upn a package.

transformed into many forms, pills, even liquids. and the drugs are a lot more dangerous than they look. in fact, the chemicals are so potent, they have to handle them with gloves. >> the reason that detective and i are wearing gloves is if you touch it,ou can absorb that and become -- the drug can affect you just by absorption. >> reporter: if i pick up that piece of paper, i could get it through my skin. >> for sure. yeah. >> reporter: wow. >> that was kate snoww reporting there. you can see more of her report on "deline" tonight at 7:00, 6:00 central here on nbc. up next, our sunday story from the fashion designer who dresses celebs like beyonce and rihanna to thehe cast of friends, together once again. then, harry smith taking us behind the scenes in one of

rihanna, kim kardashian, her sisters, and jennifer lopez love what he creates. >> the laquam smith woman is bold, she's sexy, she's confident, she's fearless. >> reporter: laquan just showcased his newest linee to a packed crowd at new york fashion week. he even had ipads circulating and his guests could buy pieces right on the spot. >> that's major because a lot of times when you are viewing new collections and viewing the runway, pieces aren't available until three to six months later. >> reporter: but all of this success didn't come overnight. his grandmother gave him his first sewing machine when he was 13. he was enamored with fashion, even taking his mom and grandmother's old clothes and redesigning them. >> i would literally, like, dissect it like detach it, take a seam ripper, open up the seams to try to understand how the skirt or how the blazer was made. that was my, you know, that was me teaching myself. >> reporter: laquan w rejected from the top fashion schools.

the same time i kind of had to, like, wipe my tears away and just think of a way to kind of overcome how i felt. >> reporter: he kept sketching, and designing, and taking gold leggings he created and passing them out to women on the streets of new york city. >> next thing i know, all this gifting that i did i ended up seeing, like, lady gaga with the leggings i made, it was surreal. >> reporter: he continued to send outut his clothes and then it happened, he saw a post on instagram of kim kardashian in the hampto getting pizza. >> i was sitting on my couch and i'm, like, swirling through instagram. and i had h h had already given monica and kim's team a bunch of clothing and it just popped up on instagram and it was, like, #oldneweverything. i'm, like, this is my dress. this is my two-piece. >> reporter: while laquan acknowledges that celebs help generate social media buzz, he
