gabe, i was watching that. i don't know how you kept your cool.ause the parents are to be blamed for breaking the law? first of all, there was no enforcement discernible against the employers. the timing of the raid has been questioned. the insensitivity of proceeding with the raid the same day as the el paso visit by the president to comfort a terrorized hispanic community after what happened in el paso days earlier. and yes he's a law enforcement officer, but why didn't they contact mississippi child services in advance? why didn't they bring in hhs? >> and so i pressed the acting director on a few of those things. they say they didn't have to contact child protective services and they did contact school districts. >> not in advance. >> the director says because this is a law enforcement operation, they argue that, you know, for law enforcement operations you can't tip anyone off. that was his argument. now i did press him on why more of the employers were not charged. he deflected that saying it's part of an ongoing investigation. several days

at least that's what they're telling me. >> gabe gutierrez, live on the street in dayton, ohio. let's cross over to kelly o'donnell at the white house and talk about what the president said as he left the white house this morning, embarking on this two-city journey, meeting with victims and their families and officials in those cities. some of them we know will not be welcoming him to those towns. there's a history of this president making promises on policies, in this particular case about gun policy, that he ultimately abandons. i'm curious to get your thoughts about how he spoke about that issue today. >> reporter: he's signaling an openness to deal with congress on matters of background checks and talking about his own willingness to use whatever political capital he may have to try to convince some lawmakers to move in that direction. he spoke about a movement that he says has occurred because of the scale and magnitude of this deadly violence with members of both parties wanting to take some action. you're right, we have seen this before from the president. after parkland,

this is our first look on the left after he visited his 18-year-old son gabe. italian law, gabe could be charged with a murder of an italian police officer even though prosecutors say it was his friend, 19-year-old finn elder, who stabbed to death officer mario rega while gabe fought off another officer at this intersection july 26th. >> the public has an incomplete account of the true versions of the events. >> reporter: elder's father has returned from rome. he appeared before cameras saturday with his wife and daughter outside their san francisco home while their lawyer read a statement. >> it is said, however, the truth will set you free. we look forward to the truth coming out and to our son coming home. >> reporter: the defense criticizes the police for leaking just hours after the killing some surveillance videos of the teens' movement that night but not video of the fatal struggle. they would show it showed finn elder acting in self-defense. right at that intersection there are several businesses, the pizza and kabab shop doesn't have a surveillance cam

i don't know what i'm going to do without him." >> gabe gutierrez, thank you so much. >>> all right, bring in danny cevallos, msnbc legal analyst. thank you for being here so early on a saturday. what's the status right now of the hundreds of people who were arrested at the six companies there in mississippi? >> it's difficult to get the hard statistics, but about 270 or so had been released, but still 300 or so remain in custody. it's hard to know what criteria authorities are using to detain or release parents or even nonparents at this point because the standards leave so much discretion up to federal authorities to make that determination. for example, whether the parent pos poses a threat to the child, what the significance of the criminal history is, these are things that have some gray area for authorities and result in some inconsistencies in who is detained and who is released. >> gabe gutierrez, our reporter on the ground there, says those detained were given one phone call. what kind of legal representation do they have here? >> we see it in the movies all the time -- let

gabe, first to you. tell us about dayton, ohio. you heard this update from the officials there. >> reporter: andrea, we just got that update from local officials moments ago. i'm here in the oregon district, the bar behind me is where the shooting took place, or rather outside of that bar. this area has just reopened. we heard from local officials who, as you mentioned, are still searching for a motive at this point. they say it's too early to tell exactly what that motive was. they're looking into whether the sister was actually targeted. as you mentioned, she was the youngest victim, 22 years old, megan bet megan betts. we got new information about this investigation and the number of people that were treated and those still hospitalized. number one, of the 37 people that were hospitalized, 14 of those were from gunshots. the others are cuts and other minor injuries as they were running away from the scene. 11 people are still hospitalized at this point. with regards to the investigation, andrea, the gunman, according to police,

nbc's gabe gioux tear etz is in tennessee where it happened.ood morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. it is rare to see this kind of wreckage up close and this plain rolled off the runway shortly after landing and burst into flames. the national transportation safety board will now investigate the crash. incredibly, no one was seriously injured. the smoke and flames from the wreckage could be seen for miles, but this morning nascar legend dale earnhardt jr. is out of the hospital after his private plain rolled one rolled runway. >> the dude pulled a baby out of there. >> it is a private jet. >> reporter: capturing the plane fully engulfed on the edge of the highway. >> you could hear the commotion. it was a bunk of metal a and screech like it was. >> reporter: he and his wife and 1-year-old daughter were aboard the small cessna jet along with two pilots. >> five occupants. no one is injured. extremely blessed and fortunate. >> reporter: remarkably, all escaped with minor cuts. >> it looks like they were able to get out quickly and under

gabe gutierrez has been following the investigation here in dayton. he joins me now. what do we know about where the investigation stands right now? >> craig, the big question is motive as it so often is after these shootings. we do not know why this gunman opened fire, a lot of questions surrounding his sister, what she was doing in the area. stunning surveillance video which many viewers will find disturbing. if we play some of that now authorities released this yesterday and you can see some of these bystanders just ducking for cover as the shots rang out. authorities describe just a horrifying scene but that the gunman was neutralized, they say, in less than a minute. now, craig, you know how just incredible that is that the -- these officers can come in here in less than a minute and were able to take out the suspect. this video released yesterday, less than 24 hours after this investigation began. certainly very unusual craig the authorities were able to, you know, get this much information out there. now, as we mentioned this 24-year-old gunman, connor betts, h

and gabe gutierrez in ohio. what can we expect to hear any second now as we look at the white house. >> reporter: there could be a slight delay to the president's remarks. the challenge for this president, for any president in a moment like this is getting the tone right. it has been a struggle for president trump in the past when he has visited these sites of mass shootings. sometimes he hasn't given remarks. what we expect him to say this morning is to talk generally about the tone in the country. not get into too specific of policy proposals. that said, as you mentioned, he did hint about immigration reform and something with gun control. we will see to what extent president donald trump makes explicit links between legislations, his own actions, his own rhetoric and what he thinks should be done on both the southern boarder and with guns in this country. it is going to be an interesting mome moment. presidencies are often defined in these moments. we will see if president trump rises to it. >> we look at the
