really sort of tonic to the soul to learn more about marjory stoneman douglas, she helped save the evergladestnessed the signing of landmark gun law -- gun legislation. i was there that day and remember how emotional it was for the signing which probably would not have passed the congress without the support of ronald reagan. >> right. and now we have the students from her namesake school keeping it in the headlines in the way mass shootings we see usually fade from headlines organizing marches holding lawmakers to act in a way we haven't seen afterwards. it's quite a legacy to her name. >> the students may not have known much about her until recently. i'm not sure the awareness of her legacy. the fact they have seized the moment and are potentially game changers in a way that tragically the parents in newtown could not. they could not turn the government around with all the help of president obama, vice president biden, chuck schumer and other advocates. and the two senators there. >> it remains to be seen whether or not this will be the moment the dam breaks. they're having a noticeable, me

west of boca, north of coral springs, sort of northwest of pompano beach, west of i-95 before the everglades we don't have much but there is stuff on social media about the fact that at least there were reports of an active shooter at marjorie stoneman high school in parkland. there was reports -- of a gunman near campus and then there were reports of shooting victims. now this is all brand-new from broward county sheriff's office. as you know, when these reports come in, you could see there, there are tactical officers gathered and are advancing on an area. these are live shots. even if there isn't an active shooter, if the police believe there is or they do not believe they've got someone in custody or has been neutralized, they are going to keep on doing this until we figure it out. >> they take it really seriously and we should note before i leave, avoid the area. this is from the broward county sheriff, the tweets from them. avoid the area of stoneham douglas high school, bso is working a developing incident regarding a report of active shooter. again, they are using the word "report" a

the worry over russia is at real and close to home as a high school on the edge of the florida evergladesat's our product tonight. thank you for being here with us and good night from nbc news headquarters here in new york. >> lots of news breaking late in the day and into this evening. the president today making a surprise announcement that he has told the justice department to recommend new regulations against accessories that modify semiautomatic firearms to effectively turn them, in his words, into machine guns, that make them fire automatic. that would seem to include accessories like the bump stock, used in the las vegas massacre a few months ago and trigger cranks, to artificially increase the speed on which you can pull the trigger on a semiautomatic rifle. the president didn't specify. there's a lot of ambiguity as to proceed earlierly wh-- procedur they're going to do. they reportedly decided after the las vegas massacre that only congress could make laws to restrict these accessories, the justice department couldn't do it by regulation alone. but now the president has told the

folks are practically in the everglades. community, crime stats show -- we're comparing apples to oranges and i made that point yesterday because this can happen anywhere, but per capita, the crime rate in that community is very, very low. a lot of people, parents as we spoke to them yesterday, made that point, too. they thought gosh, we chose to live here because it's a safe, close knit community and by golly, look what happened. >> shepard: what is the community story line today through the herald, the sun sentinel? is everybody talking about more security or talking about guns or parents or warning flags or what? >> all of it. a lot of people are asking how is it that there were some signs with this young man and we couldn't connect the dots? why is it that this got to this point? looking at school security. we heard from the governor. he wants to meet with lawmakers next week in tallahassee to discuss ways of beefing up or examining school security, this is the first for the governor in recent memory, governor scott say

marjory stoneman douglas was a journalist for the "miami herald" writing about the importance of the evergladeske the environmental movement, and became more of an activist, and we see the same thing. this line between journalism and activi activism, and some people cross that line and are advocating for change, but back to marjory stoneman douglas from 100 years ago, she was using her pieces in the "miami herald" and her books in order to affect change. >> that's a conscious by a journalist. if you are anchoring coverage to of this, or you're involved in live rolling coverage, it could be for hours after the event, you keep it straight. you present information. we know legacy values give citizens information. it has been verified that they can make decisions about their own lives with, and, you know, if you are a parent or anything, you need this information. keep it straight. later, you can go into opinion. i see a lot of anchors right in the middle of it going into opinion, and that troubles me. keep it later, and this is the crisis we had with this election. remember the piece in "the new y

so ryan and his son i met in everglades city a little over a year ago. no a few months ago. this job -- things go so fast in this job. so unfortunately for ryan, he lost his beautiful daughter also. elena was a sweet girl. if you went to the funeral and met some of the individuals there, the things that they talked about, she was just a wonderful young lady that was active in their church. i can't imagine what the entire family is going through. ryan petty. >> so governor, thank you. thank you for taking leadership on this issue. andy, thanks for standing up. you were the first one to stand up and say this has to stop. i thank you for that. for those of you that didn't have a chance to know my daughter, she was as governor scott said, all ant service. she loved to serve. when she come into a room, she would light it up with her smile. she was everybody's friend. my son and i drove down here today, we talked about -- we read through the governor's proposal. we talked about the provisions. we talked about whether alaina would want this legislation passed. i think we agree she

. >> bordering the everglades. you didn't believe there would be a shooter. >> no, i didn't.n it carried it on and she was telling me she heard gunshots and teachers are freaking out, more or less tell her be safe, hide. cover yourself. it was within minutes and then as watching some of the tv you could hear that now all of a sudden the media is coming onto it. before that it's like i got heads up. i feel lucky knowing she did text me knowing my daughter is safe as others don't know. >> at what point did you really feel like you were safe? were you feeling like this could go wrong or you had to be out of the school before you felt you were safe? >> at a point i felt really scared. i didn't know what to do. i was freaking out and texting my mom and my dad. i felt safe at a point when the swat team came in and took us out into another room. i felt safe because they're armed so god forbid if the shooter did come, they would be there with me so i'd be safe. they escorted us out of the the media center and we had to walk down the hallways by the stairs and at a point they told us

think of it as kind of the metropolitan miami area runs out and the protected area of the florida everglades takes over. form msnbc analyst and former new york city police commissioner bill bratton. we have had some shootings around our country as of late in the past couple of years. let's talk about the people we saw today, the 4:00 to 12:00 shift is under way for so many in law enforcement across the country. no one who works in broward county expected to be called to a mass casualty incident today. every one of them we saw was running into danger. >> the rapidity of the response has improved in the last several decades, in the case of shootings, mass shootings, lone gunmen, the idea of responding to a school campus, not knowing what you're coming into, just that there's been a shooting, the rapidity of the officers and the s.w.a.t. officers, you have students fleeing, you have parents beginning to respond to text messages from their children. just imagine the scene around that school, these aerial shots, the idea of taking care of the children, reassuring the apartments, making sure there

it's sort of on the edge of where the broward county starts to meet the everglades. the shooter

but surprising that water comes in from the other side too and basically coming in from the everglades that's what i talk about because the risk of sea level rise is much more complex than what we know and i write about this in my book but there's a lot of people who live in sweet water all of that who have no idea -- who are working class these are all bairvegly working class neighborhoods. have -- own houses, spend their lives has in their houses have no idea that their houses are at risk. that their safety is at risk. and that is something that is -- sort of one michael message i'mg to get out is that. so let's look at charleston. charleston -- bye-bye right water pushing up through all of those low areas and throw out you know there's delta-like areas. how about -- boston. back bay, airport, m.i.t., harvard, right? this is 7 feet this is like -- within the envelope of what science says can happen had by -- the time, you know, my daughter is old. some down mitigated by this givers you an idea of the risk. but now i want to be -- do one sort of science moment. to talk about why these

florida, you can see the everglades national park, great smokies. but you can see the predominant shade of the western part of this country is red. red signifying and standing for all the areas that are owned by the federal government. look at the state of nevada. almost the entire state of nevada is owned by the federal government, public lands. look at the state of colorado. owned by public land -- public land held by the federal government. nationwide, the bureau of land management is responsible for managing approximately 700 million acres of federal mineral estate located underground. not just land that is held by the bureau of land management in colorado, nevada. they hold even more when it comes to our mineral holdings. but the b.l.m. is also responsible for administering 225 million acres of federal surface lands and nearly all of that, as this map points out, is in the 11 western most states in alas -- and alaska in this country. historically, local field offices have been diligent and effective managers of the public land for multiple use
