and i'm christina florida as early as today.st to render a tropical storm watch. fed chair yellen speaking and investors listening to see if the weak jobs data last week changes to plans for an interest rate increase before the report. i hike was expected in june or july. checking in on u.s. stock market futures ahead of the opening bell to get the week started on wall street. dow futures indicating a .1% at the opening. ditto for the nasdaq, but the s&p 500 is up fractionally today. trained to attack about last week with the s&p 500 gained 0.07 points. that was the smallest move in 24 years. lauren: amazing. nicole: 1992. where were you then? uber setting aside on new customers or the government to be precise. the veteran service once 2.7 million employees to use its service over casting it will save taxpayer money. but berman has the details. >> uber is about everywhere you look in washington. congressman from california want to expand its reach of the government expensive though. do i on the republican and eric saw well paid

most of us don't live in palm beach, florida, however.mile strip of beach is florida's easternmost city and known for its pristine coastline, trendy restaurants, and high-end shopping boutiques. so selling a home in palm beach, well, a bit different than doing it in any other part of america. so i asked the mother-and-son team of paulette and dana koch to show me some of these listings. this seven-bedroom property sits on the edge of lake worth, which separates palm beach from west palm beach. listing price just under $35 million. >> the house has just over 19,000 square feet. it lives on three levels. >> the trilevel compound was designed in 1986 by renowned architect milton klein and then was completely restored and renovated in 2008. you're immediately struck by views, with 200 feet of frontage on lake worth. >> there's a beautiful indoor-outdoor entertaining space that brings the outside in, which is very typical of the way people want to live when they come to palm beach. the view corridors that you have from all the rooms facing the

they were married in florida. we've also learned that he what is a licensed security officer with a statewide firearms license. this morning i had a chance to speak to a private investigator there in florida by the name of jim costa, and he told me that mateen had what's known as a g license. that gives the person the ability to carry firearm many places statewide there in florida. it's not just a regular license. it's a little bit more advanced giving him the ability to travel many places with a firearm and certainly we know he was very experienced in the use of a firearm. he must have loaded and unloaded his weapons very quickly. it is remarkable to think that one person could kill so many people in such a short period of time. eric? >> anita, of course, this morning, lots of suggestions about radical islamic terrorism as being a motive. a hate crime being a motive or perhaps a sad tragic nexus of both of those coming together with him apparently targeting the gay nightclub with hatred of homosexuals. do we know

and it's not just florida.ast year, eight corvettes were damaged after being devoured by a 30-foot-deep sinkhole at the national corvette museum in kentucky. imagine coming in to find that damage. sinkholes have wreaked havoc across the country -- texas, tennessee, alabama, pennsylvania. now, sinkholes don't get as much attention as natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes because many of them are localized. but they can cause just as much damage. florida has more sinkholes than any other state. there have been more than 15,000 verified sinkholes across the state. >> florida has what people call a swiss-cheese geology. >> [ chuckles ] >> we have a limestone bedrock underneath the state, and there's an aquifer. over time, the rock is dissolved by the acidity in ground water. it creates caverns and voids that, when the surface can't support it, they collapse. >> a few months ago, this florida sinkhole reappeared two years after it opened up under the bedroom of a 37-year-old jeffrey bush. he was sucked tr

a specific threat of an attack in florida and mentioning florida by name.hat is connected as of yet, but right now that's what we're looking at. president obama was briefed about the shooting early on by his homeland security and counterterrorism adviser. the white house said the president directed federal officials to provide any necessary assistance to pursue the next and support the community. kristen fisher joins us quickly from the white house with more. kristen? >> well, bret, this is 291st mass shooting since president obama took office, and, you know, typically when these types of things happen the president does come out and give a statement and he is here at the white house, but so far we have no indication if or when the president will come out and speak today. now, this morning the president was briefed about what happened in orlando by lisa monaco, his assistant for homeland security and counterterrorism. important to point out that was a file photo. that not taken today. shortly after the briefing the white house released its first statement o

pierce, florida. a law enforcement source says mateen worked as a private security guard. police say throughout the other deal they were getting phone calls, text messages from terrified individuals inside the pulse nightclub but away from the gunman complicating the situation at the time people's friends and relatives also got such messages and many of them rushed down to the othrlando nightclub. >> 2:70 i got a text message from my daughter and two nieces "please come and get us now, they're shooting, they're shooting." then at2:12 i got a phone call from my daughter saying he was hit and going to pass out and call the cops and help and she was afraid and just -- just tragic. >> now, orlando mayor buddy d r dyer. mr. mayor, thanks for joining us. what a horrible day for the nation and orlando, florida. you had to tell the world this is, in fact, the deadliest mass shooting in the history of the united states. >> there's no way to describe it other than horrific and unimaginable. i am, however, proud

both men from florida. at the same time it's got to be stressed that the fbi conducting an awful lot of terrorism investigations right now. they have opened 1,000 cases into suspected radical extremists in the united states. 800 of those cases there's some kind of link to isis in terms of sympathy. so they are stretched quite thin right now, the fbi, in terms of everything that they have to look out for. one extra point here is that over the last seven, eight months there has been a real drop in the number of americans who have been attempting to try to travel to syria and iraq. up until august 2015, according to fbi director, six to ten americans were trying to go every month. that's now fallen to about one. but the worry has been that frustrated in their attemptings to travel to syria and iraq that they would launch attacks back home. and that's exactly what the isis spokesman called for on may 21st, just a few days ago, for attacks during ramadan and for americans to stay home and launch terrorist attack

community in florida, in central florida? >> well, what we've seen unfortunately in the last couple of years is there has been a rash of violence, particularly against transgender women of color. there was a hate crime murder incident that happened actually recently in florida that was devastating to the community that targeted a transgender black woman. and what we're seeing now is that even in the year 2016, hate and bigotry still exists. and we're doing what we can in our communities, at the local level, at the state level, at the national level, to eradicate all forms of hate and discrimination and to make sure that we fight against all phobias, not just homophobia, not just transphobia, but also against islamophobia. >> sreenivasan: what happens in healing process when it affects so many people? besides the 50 dead and another 50 injured, all of those individuals have a ripple effect throughout the much larger community? >> i think what happens is we come together and we grieve together as americans. and it's not just ab

florida was built on a swamp. alligators lived there before humans did. does this attack surprise you? >> it saddens us. i think it saddens everybody. obviously our thoughts and prayers go out to everybody. it's disturbing. roughly, there are five attacks a year that happens. >> five fight tal attacks? >> no. five attacks. i believe in the number that florida fish & wildlife keeps, there's only been 23 fatalities over 300 attacks. >> while we're waiting for the orange county sheriff, we're going to bring you some other breaking news. right now we've been told that egypt has found the wreckage of the plane. of course, you remember it was 27 days ago when egypt flight 804 disappeared from radar over the mediterranean sea along with 66 passengers and crew on board. let's go to cnn aviation correspondent rene marsh. rene, where was the plane and how was it finally located? >> jake, we are just getting this information in realtime as i speak to you. the egyptian government is saying that they found several mainly indications of wreckage of egyptair 804. it cra

florida. it opened in 2004 by barbara poma to celebrate her brother who had died of aids. president obama addressed the nation on sunday afternoon. >> so this is a sobering reminder that a tax on any american, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation is an attack on all of us and on the phenomenal values of the quality and dignity that define us as a country. and no act of hate or tear will ever change who we are or the values that make us americans. marks the most deadly shooting iamerican history. the shooter was apparently armed with a handgun and a powerful assault rifle. this massacre is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school or a house of worship or a movie theater or in a nightclub. and we have to decide if that is the kind of country we want to be. and to actively do nothing is a decision as well. amy: authorities identified the gunman as 29-year-old omar mateen. he used a s

pierce, florida.worked for one of the major security companies that does a lot of security, including for the u.s. government. that is something now that the investigators, the fbi investigators that are working on this case are going to be looking into. we know that he rented a car in ft. pierce and traveled specifically to orlando to carry out this terrorist attack that now has claimed the lives of 50 people and perhaps more. that might explain why perhaps there was some earlier indications from peter king, the congressman who was on the air earlier, who was talking about some weapons training. he worked as a security guard for a major security company. that might explain why he perhaps had some expertise with using these weapons and was able to kill these people so quickly. what we know, as you mentioned, in the washington, d.c., area, there's a big observance of gay pride weekend. we know the police there in washington they zaire going to increase security. we expect that'll happen in other cities

for the war on taur eterrorism make florida, is unfathomable. they are asking how this could happen here. there's a sense that, you know what? nobody is surprised that it's happening anywhere. my thought of it was how are officials reaching out? the setting of defense is heading to nato for a meeting of defense ministers. it's going to have a different tone. it's supposed to be about the countering the isil terrorism threat about russia, other nato mission questions. but i was in london two months ago for a conference where i interd interviewed lisa -- >> kevin, we know -- forgive me. we know there's so much work ahead. we will be back. stay with me. back with more, reporting live here in orlando after this. >>> we're back here in new york at the top of the hour. again, what we are covering is the worst mass shooting in united states history. americans woke up early this morning to learn that it had been closing time last call 2:00 a.m. eastern time when shots started -- were fired inside a club called pulse in orlando, florida. just south of th

what does the state of florida do?the self-starting needs and spontaneous combustions inspired by isis? >> the war on theerror is not over. he's a radical islamic terrorist who took a warped view of his religion and thought it justified the killing of innocent people in a place like what we saw last night. so it requires efforts to take away the capabilities of this group to inspire people online and defeat them militarily and get the islamic world to reject them ideologically. the rest of the community is doing what it needs to do, the lines of people donating blood are eight hours long. i'm very proud with the way the community has responded. >> the fact that the victims were gay, what import do you put to that? does it add an aspect of hatred to the terror or is it just a hatred of another. >> we know what they think and the orientation to be gay or lesbian, i am sure the evidence will lead us there. it was in addition, all terrorism is a hate crime but this was a crime -- this was a terror event aimed specifically

"at the then one more to shooters. i don't know about guns really but it's on the left hand and are something." >> marty:at this time, we only know about one shooter. police say the shooter was armed with an assault-type rifle, a hand gun and some sort of suspicious device. an f-b-i spokesman says the mass shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism. he says authorities are looking into whether the shooter acted alone. we will continue to update you throughout the morn

this young man, an american born in new york who moved to central florida, moved to the coast of florida for awhile who somehow perhaps all by himself became radicalized, became a follower of isis we're led to believe. it has been as we've said the largest mass shooting in u.s. history and our colleagues at the date line division of nbc news today put together a look at the timeline how this entire tragedy has played out. here with that nbc is dennis murphy. >> reporter: it was supposed to be a night of fun letting your hair down. saturday night had become early sunday morning. the music loud and fun. this video posted on the internet from inside club pulse around 1:00 a.m. last call, last dance, latin theme night was wrapping up a crowd of about 300 packed into orlando's popular gay nightclub. at approximately 2:00 a.m. everything changed. a gunman holding an assault rifle encountered an off duty officers and exchanged fire and advanced into the club shooting as he moved. instant chaos. >> oh my god. people are getting shot, dude. >> patrons dropped where they had been dancing seconds b

lucie, florida made a 911 call. we don't know exactly the moment this call was that, was it before the shooting, but we know he pledged his allegiance to isis. also mentioning the tsarnaev brothers involved in the boston bombings. at this hour we also have not received any confirmation that he was in direct contact with isis, but an isis media organization claiming that this act was inspired by that terror group and that the man you see there on your screen is an islamic state fighter. and pete williams says the claim of responsibility did not come after it was indicated that this 911 call was made. the effort to remove the bodies of all of the individuals continues. identifying them also. there are family members on social media contacting authorities as you can imagine you would be trying to confirm whereabouts of their loved ones. s sarah dallof, let's talk about the effort to get the information to the families. >> reporter: 350 families, 50 killed, 53 injured. and the effort to get information has been difficul

the developments in florida. also disturbing developments in california. we're following leads overseas on a possible connection to terrorist groups, possibly isis. right now, let me bring our viewers in the united states and around the world up to speed. this is what we know right now. at least 50 people are dead in orlando, florida, shot to death when a heavily armed gunman walked into a gay nightclub in orlando and started shooting and killing. president obama just a little while ago called this mass murder an act of terror and an act of hate. the shooter, a 29-year-old florida resident, born in new york, whose parents came from afghanistan. that gunman is dead. orlando s.w.a.t. officers stormed the building, killed the shooter and freed several hostages he was holding then. right now, the city of orlando, indeed all of florida, orange county, they are under a state of emergency. law enforcement agencies at every level there are working to try to nail down definitively whether the gunman was working alone, whether there was immediate danger, whether tha

he was living in fort piecer, florida, and has been married. in 2012 mateen attended the handle which is an annual pril grammage to mecca in saudi arabia. a year later in 2013 the 29 year old turned up on the fbi's radar for the first time. coworkers said he had made inflammatory remarks about terrorist ties. the fbi's rod hopper is leading the investigation. >> the fbi thoroughly investigated the matter including interviews of witnesses, physical surveillance and records checks. ultimately we were unable to ver fie the substance of his comments and investigation was closed. >> reporter: in 2014 he came to the fbi's attention again, this time because of ties to the first known american suicide bomber in syria. that man blew himself newspaper 2014. after that investigation, mateen was cleared again. >> we determined that contact was minimal. and did not constitute a substantive relationship or a threat at that time. >> reporter: mateen had been working as a security guard and with no record within the last week, he was able to purchase a handgun

. >> good evening from orlando, florida this is our western edition. orlando became today the scene of the worst mass shooting in american history. it happened at a gay night club about a half a block behind me, a club called pulse. 50 people were killed. we are told that tonight, many of the bodies have been moved to the coroner's office, the player says the work of removing the 50 bodies should be completed this evening. the only sound at the crime scene now is the ringing of cell phones. desperate relatives calling to find out if their loved ones are still alive. as we said at least 50 people were killed, but more than 50 others were wounded. many of them in critical condition. in what president obama has called an act of terrorism, and hate. just after 2:00 this morning it was last call for drinks at the pulse nightly club, popular among gay community when signs of gun fire rang out above the music. a lone gunman, 29-year-old omar mateen, made his way into the club. >> oh my god dude. >> a massive barrage of gun fire was exchanged with law enforcem

she's winning in florida and frankly all she has to do is win florida to win the presidency, and as you mentioned today she's going to give this economic speech where she is going to contrast between her and donald trump, and she's going to go after donald trump using the same technique she used in san diego on her foreign policy speech. she's going to use his direct words. she's going to use his direct policies to contrast with him and prove that, you know, he's risky for this country and dangerous for this country. after she gave the foreign policy speech, her numbers skyrocketed in terms of commander in chief. we'll see her numbers skyrocket on the economy after this speech. >> the bottom line is that they're both not very well liked. they have huge negatives. we're heading into a general election where their negatives are so high right now in many ways people who go to the polls are probably going to be voting against the other person as opposed to supporting that person. now, the polling we're looking at is a snapshot in time and there is time for hillary clinton to build support,

lucie, florida. we want to go back to mark strassmann there at the scene, where there are number of things changing all the time. mark, what are you seeing? >> people going in and out of -- over my left shoulder and trying to figure out again what -- overwhelmed with what is going on. remember they probably have 50 bodies inside. then they have, this is a crime scene, a crime scene on a massive scale have to go about the business of identifying evidence, reconstructing the events that transpired around 2:02 this morning, getting a sense of how the gunman got in the club, how he -- with fully loaded as he was, armed for be bear. and also just when he went outside was driven back in side, where he was when police, s.w.a.t. team decided enough is enough. we're going to storm this place. they used a flash bang grenade, they went in and there was another gunbattle, the second in three hours between police and the gunman and this one he was killed. presumably his body is one of the 50, 51 perhaps that are

>> outside of central florida. >> outside of central florida. >> right.ust to answer that, there is no video that we're aware of. >> will you confiscate the computers of family members? >> yes. >> do you know what part of florida he might have traveled from? >> no, not at this time. like i say, we'll probably have that before the end of the day, we'll get that to you. we know people want some answers to these questions why this person may have done that and who this person is. we're going to get to that information as quickly as we can, without trying to interfere with the detectives' investigation. >> you said he was getting ready to travel back [ inaudible ]. >> that would only be speculation. maybe he wasn't planning on being tackled to the ground. i don't know. but he did have two handguns on him. additional magazines and a hunting knife. so, unknown why that happened. [ inaudible ]. >> that's unknown at this time. >> did you find his car or anything in the parking lot? have you taken that in for investigation? he got here somehow? >> yeah, there is n

just what you get in this part of florida. they are not known to be where this attack happened last night. first time in 45 years that anything like that has happened. in florida there have only been 23 fatal alligator attacks in the last seven decades. so it's something even though it's so rare, they know they have a lot of alligators here, they do have employees who are tasked with finding them and getting rid of them. something they have had success with in the past but obviously there was something that went wrong last night. >> hold on for a second. i've got disney's statement. they have put out a statement. i'm going to read it. everyone here at the walt disney world resort is devastated by this tragic accident. our thoughts are with the family. we're helping the family and doing everything we can to assist law enforcement. the family by the way came from nebraska. they have been staying at the hotel. they're on vacation. they have three children, man and wife, three children. it was the youngest child, the 2-year-old ta

lucie, florida. earlier a law enforcement source told fox news there was no derogatory information found so far on the father. this is standard practice, part of the investigation, to build out the suspects. omar mateen was known to the fbi and had contacts with the bureau in 2013 after he made inflammatory comments that alarmed his co-workers. omar mateen was interviewed twice but the claims were not substantiated by the fbi and the matter was closed. again, in 2014, he was interviewed by the fbi because of a connection to another florida man moner abu salha. he had left florida and gone to syria where he joined the al qaeda affiliate al nusra front and drove a truck into a restaurant and killed syrian government soldiers. the chairman briefed by the fbi and homeland security earlier today told me the threat level was high heading into the holy month of ramadan that began a week ago. >> this is the season of ramadan. so every time we get our threat briefings, the ramadan season, the holy season is a

he came back to florida after being in syria officially. the fbi says they became aware he had some contact with abu salah. after looking into it, they decided it was very minimal, very psmall. as we have reported all day long, nbc news has been told by his father that he saw this thing in florida and that may be what touched him off. one question here is how long was he planning this attack. the atf said just a moment ago he bought a handgun and a long gun just last week. we've since been told by authorities that those were the weapons that were used in this shooting. if he planned it far in advance, he only recently bought the guns. we don't know whether he was going to target that specific facility in orlando. >> pete, was the long gun in question indeed an ar-15? if so, remind our viewers what other shootings it's been associated with recently. >> well, they describe it as an ar-15 type weapon. the ar-15 is made by colt. it's a weapon that can hold a high capacity magazine. it's what people call an assault weapon. once you put this high
