SAVING DRUG. TOP STORY STARTS RIGHT NOW. >>> GOOD EVENING, I'M ELLISON BARBER, IN FOR TOM LLAMAS. WE BEGIN WITH A HORRIFIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING IN NASHVILLE WHICH LEFT SIX PEOPLE DEAD. NEW VIDEO SHOWING THE PANICKED MOMENTS YOUNG STUDENTS RAN ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC TO ESCAPE DANGER. NEW DETAILS EMERGING ABOUT THE LIVES LOST, INCLUDING CYNTHIA PEAK, A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER WHO WAS A CLOSED CLOSE FRIEND OF THE FIRST LADY OF TENNESSEE. SHE WAS SET TO MEET FOR DINNER ON THE NIGHT SHE DIED. THE GOVERNOR SHARING SAD NEWS ON TWITTER LAST NIGHT, ADDING, THERE WILL COME A TIME TO DISCUSS AND DEBATE POLICY, BUT THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR HATE OR RAGE? BUT, THE CONVERSATION, AS IT OFTEN DOES, HAS SWIFTLY SWITCHED TO POLITICS. PRESIDENT BIDEN REITERATING A CALL FOR A TOTAL BAN ON ASSAULT RIFLES, A PROPOSAL UNLIKELY TO PASS THE DIVIDED CONGRESS. THE ISSUE OF GUN LAWS REMAINS LARGELY IN THE HAND OF THE STATES. 19 OF THEM HAVE ADOPTED, SO- CALLED RED FLAG LAWS. ALLOWING RIFLES BE REMOVED FROM PEOPLE DEEMED A RISK TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS. ONLY THREE OF THESE STATES RUN BY REPUBLICANS. WE WILL HAVE MORE OTHERS LEGISLATIVE BATTLES IN A MOMENT BUT WE BEGIN FIRST WITH THE GRIEVING COMMUNITY IN NASHVILLE, GATHERING RIGHT NOW TO HONOR THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST. KATHY PARK IS THERE AND LEADS US OFF. >> Reporter: MONDAYS MASS SHOOTING IN NASHVILLE WITH CHILDREN RUNNING ACROSS A BUSY ROAD TO ESCAPE GUNFIRE. >> OUR SAUDIS KIDS SCREAMING AND CRYING. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS EVEN HAPPENING, BUT I KNEW THAT IT WASN'T GOOD. >> Reporter: HEARING THE GUNSHOTS AND SEEING THE PANICKED, JASON KNEW HE HAD TO STOP DRIVING AND HELP THEM GET AWAY BY STOPPING TRAFFIC. >> WAS THERE A MOMENT THAT IS SEARED IN YOUR MIND FOREVER? >> THE TEACHER HUGGING THAT LITTLE GIRL.. ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS, MY CHILD, IN THAT SAME SPOT. >> Reporter: RUNNING TOWARDS THE GUNFIRE, OFFICER MICHAEL V ARGO, A FORMER MARINE, AND A FOUR YEAR VETERAN OF THE NATIONAL POLICE DEPARTMENT. OFFICER ENGELBERT'S BROTHER SAYS THAT DISPLAY OF HEROISM IS IN THEIR BLOOD. >> OUR MOM WOULD ALWAYS TELL US TO BE BRAVE AND I'M VERY PROUD TO SEE HOW BRAVE HE WAS. >> Reporter: THE TRAGEDY STRIKING ALL CORNERS OF THIS GRIEF STRICKEN COMMUNITY. >> SHE IS A SHINING LIGHT, AN AMAZING CHILD. >> Reporter: THE FIRST LADY OF TENNESSEE LOSING HER FRIEND, SIDNEY, A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER. >> SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME OVER AND HAVE DINNER WITH MARIA LAST NIGHT. >> Reporter: AMONGST THE OTHER VICTIMS, SALLY SCRUBS, MIKE HILL, LOVINGLY KNOWN AS BIG MIKE, A FATHER TO SEVEN, AND GRANDFATHER TO 14. HEADMASTER CATHERINE KOONTZ, WHO GAVE HER LIFE TO PROTECT THE STUDENTS SHE LOVED. >> KATHY PARK JOINS US NOW FROM NASHVILLE, WE UNDERSTAND BEHIND YOU, A VIGIL HAS ALREADY GOTTEN UNDERWAY. PEOPLE IN THE CROWD ALREADY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT DARK, HOLDING CANDLES, TRYING TO HONOR THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND GRIEVE TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY. >> Reporter: YOU PROBABLY HEARD THE MUSIC, THERE, YOU HAVE ARTISTS PERFORMING AS A PART OF THIS VIGIL AS WELL. THIS IS A TIME OF TRAGEDY, COMING TOGETHER, UNITED, IN GRIEF, YOU HAVE DIGNITARIES COMING TOGETHER. DR. BIDEN IS ALSO RIGHT BY THE PODIUM THERE, TO STOP BY THE SCHOOL. WE SAW HER PLACING FLOWERS. HONORING THE SIX LIVES LOST, THREE YOUNG STUDENTS, ALL NINE YEARS OLD. >> KATHY, YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE GROUND REPORTING ON THIS FOR DAYS AND HAVE SPOKEN TO SO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY. HEARING THAT ONE MAN SHOOK UP, TALKING ABOUT SEEING A TEACHER HOLDING A LITTLE GIRL, AND FEELING LIKE IT COULD BE THIS DAUGHTER. AS YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO PEOPLE IN THIS COMMUNITY, WHAT STANDS OUT TO YOU FROM THE CONVERSATION I HAVE BEEN HAVING? >> I THINK MY CONVERSATION WITH JASON, YOU HEARD THERE, HE REALLY STRUCK ME, BECAUSE HE SAYS NOW, HE IS QUESTIONING HIS OWN SONS SCHOOL ABOUT SECURITY, ESPECIALLY IN THE WAKE OF THE TRAGEDY. HE SAYS IT IS QUITE UNTHINKABLE THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN HIS OWN BACKYARD. HE IS A LIFELONG NASHVILLE RESIDENT. OTHER FOLKS I SPOKE WITH RIGHT BY THE GROWING MEMORIAL ON THE GROUND. YOU CAN FEEL THE HEAVINESS IN THEIR HEART EVEN IF THEY HAVE NO DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE CHURCH OR SCHOOL, THEY ARE OVERCOME BY GRIEF. AS YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME, THIS COMMUNITY IS RESILIENT, THEY ARE COMING TOGETHER DURING A TIME OF GRIEF. >> THANK YOU, KATHY, WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE AND SHARING THESE STORIES. THIS LATEST MASS SHOOTING IS DRAWING THE OLD FAMILIAR BATTLE LINES OVER STRICT GUN LAWS WITH EACH SIDE STICKING TO THEIR ARGUMENTS. THERE ARE CONSIDERABLE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT REFORMS CAN ACTUALLY BE MADE. NBC'S PETER ALEXANDER HAS THE LATEST. >> Reporter: JUST HOURS AFTER GUNFIRE ECHOED THROUGH THAT NASHVILLE SCHOOL, PLEASE FOR ACTION. >> I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE TEARS. >> Reporter: PRESIDENT BIDEN REPEATING HIS CALLS TO BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS. >> WHY, IN GOD'S NAME, DO WE ALLOW THESE WEAPONS OF WAR ON OUR STREETS AND OUR SCHOOLS. >> Reporter: REPUBLICANS HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW, INCLUDING STEVE SCALISE. >> ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS TAKE GUNS AWAY FROM LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS BEFORE EVEN KNOWING THE FACTS. >> Reporter: THE REALITY TONIGHT, ANY GUN LEGISLATION HAS LITTLE CHANCE OF PASSING CONGRESS. >> IF YOU THINK WASHINGTON IS GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, YOU ARE WRONG. >> Reporter: THAT VACUUM HAS LEFT STATES TO TAKE ACTION, INCLUDING COLORADO, FOLLOWING MASS SHOOTINGS AT CLUB Q, AURORA, AND COLUMBINE. RED FLAG LAWS ALLOW CITIZENS TO PETITION A JUDGE TO CONFISCATE GUNS FROM PEOPLE WHO PRESENT A DANGER TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS. DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS APPROVED A STATE WEAPONS BAN WHICH FACES LEGAL CHALLENGES. IN FLORIDA, LEGISLATORS ARE PUSHING TO ALLOW GUNOWNERS WITHOUT A PERMIT. >> Reporter: HE SAYS WEAPONS BANDS ARE NOT THE ANSWER TO STOPPING MASS SHOOTING. >> IT IS EASY TO JUST SAY THAT, LET'S JUST BEEN RIFLES, INSTEAD OF LOOKING INTO THE FAILURES THAT LED UP TO THIS. >> Reporter: HE WANTS MORE ARMED SECURITY AT SCHOOLS AND MORE RESTRICTIONS FOR THOSE WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. >> YOU WANT TO FIX THE SHOOTINGS IN THIS COUNTRY, PREVENT THE MENTALLY ILL FROM BEING ABLE TO PURCHASE THE RIFLE. >> IT REALLY JUST PAINS ME, TO SEE THAT, HERE WE ARE AGAIN. >> Reporter: LOUISA EVERHART'S SON'S EYE YEAR SURVIVED LAST YEAR'S SHOOTING AT BUFFALO'S TOP SUPERMARKET AFTER BEING SHOT IN THE NECK. SHE IS DEMANDING TOUGHER RESTRICTIONS LIKE AN ASSAULT WEAPON BAN. >> WHAT IS THE SOLUTION IN YOUR VIEW? >> THE GUNS ARE THE PROBLEM. BUT, OUR LAWMAKERS DON'T WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, THAT IS WHAT IT LOOKS IKE. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY JUST DON'T CARE. >> PETER JOINS US NOW ONSET. WE HAVE HEARD THE WHITE HOUSE SAY WITH THE WAY GOVERNMENT WORKS, THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN DO HERE. WE NEED CONGRESS TO ACT. I THINK WE HEARD KAREEM JEAN PIERRE SAY THAT VERY RECENTLY. PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNING A EXECUTIVE ORDER SAYING AMONG OTHER THINGS, STING BACKGROUND CHECKS, IS THAT ALL THAT HE CAN DO HERE? OR, IS THERE MORE POTENTIAL WE CAN SEE THE WHITE HOUSE DO? >> AT THIS POINT, PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS HE IS EFFECTIVELY POWERLESS TO DO ANYTHING MORE ON THE ISSUE OF GUNS, HE SAYS HE IS BASICALLY EXHAUSTING ALL OF THE EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY HE HAS ON THIS ISSUE. HE SAYS IT IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF CONGRESS, BUT EVEN TODAY'S LEADING REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING, IT WOULD BE PREMATURE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT NEW UN LAWS, BECAUSE THE INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT HAPPENED IN NASHVILLE IS STILL ONGOING. >> PETER ALEXANDER, THANK YOU. >>> RETURN, NOW, TO THE ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE 13th ATMOSPHERIC RIVER OF THE SEASON, BLASTING THROUGH NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, CAUSING TRAVEL CHAOS AND SHUTTING DOWN PARTS OF I-80. DRIVERS STRANDED IN THE RECORD-BREAKING SNOW, AND IN BERKELEY HILLS, HAIL, RAIN, AND THUNDER PELTING THE BATTERED STATE. FOR MORE ON THIS STORM SYSTEM AS IT MARCHES EAST, NBC NEWS METEOROLOGIST BILL KAREN'S JOINS US. WHAT IS THE LATEST ON THE TRACK, HERE? >> FINALLY THIS STORM WILL GIVE CALIFORNIA A BREAK BUT ONCE IT GETS INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY ON FRIDAY, WATCH OUT. THE STORM NOW, YOU CAN SEE JUST OFF THE COASTLINE IN SAN FRANCISCO, EVENTUALLY THIS WILL MOVE THROUGH. THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING IN CALIFORNIA, WE WILL SEE HIT-AND-MISS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH SMALL HAIL. THEN, WE GET A BIT OF A BREAK WITH SNOW IN THE HIGH ELEVATIONS, A LOT OF THE FOUR CORNER REGIONS, FAST-FORWARD ALL THE WAY UP TO THURSDAY EVENING, NOT A LOT GOING ON, BY THE TIME WE GO THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON, THAT IS WHEN WE CAN SEE ALL THE HUMIDITY INCREASING AND THUNDERSTORMS ERUPT. THE STORM GETS VERY STRONG AND ALL THE BRIGHT RED ON THIS MAP, WHERE TALKING AREAS AROUND THE QUAD CITY INTO WISCONSIN, ALMOST ALL OF ILLINOIS AND THE ST. LOUIS AREA, MEMPHIS, LITTLE ROCK, AND ALL OF THESE STORMS, INTO THE EAST, NOT WEAKENING BEFORE ABOUT MIDNIGHT. KEEP THAT IN MIND, LET'S CLEAN THIS MAP UP A BIT FOR YOU. 47 MILLION PEOPLE ARE AT RISK, ADDING WE WILL SEE THIS INCREASED TO A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS, ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE. HOPEFULLY NO STRONG ONES LIKE WE SAW IN MISSISSIPPI BUT IT IS POSSIBLE. ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS MISERY, THE COLD SIDE OF THIS STORM IS LIKELY TO PRODUCE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WHEN YOU WAKE UP ON APRIL FOOLS' DAY, SATURDAY MORNING, MINNEAPOLIS IS UNDER A WINTER STORM WATCH, AT LEAST SEVEN INCHES IN A FEW AREAS AND POSSIBLY NEARLY A FOOT IN AREAS OF WISCONSIN. >> BILL, THANK YOU, WE APPRECIATE IT. >>> WE ARE ALSO FOLLOWING BREAKING NEWS OVERSEAS. POPE FRANCIS WAS HOSPITALIZED TODAY FOR A RESPIRATORY INFECTION AFTER EXPERIENCING BREATHING DIFFICULTIES. THE VATICAN NOW CANCELING HIS ENGAGEMENTS FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS. AND THOMPSON HAS MORE. >> Reporter: THIS MORNING, AT HIS WEEKLY GENERAL AUDIENCE, POPE FRANCIS APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD FORM. >> Reporter: PERHAPS THE ONLY HINT OF TROUBLE, REPORTS THAT HE GRIMACED GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE POPE MOBILE. THAT DID NOT STOP FRANCIS FROM A PART OF HIS JOB THAT HE CLEARLY ENJOYS. LATER, HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR WHAT THE VATICAN SAYS IS A RESPIRATORY INFECTION. CAUSING BREATHING DIFFICULTIES IN RECENT DAYS BUT THE VATICAN WAS QUICK TO SAY THAT THIS IS NOT CODED. CLAUDIA IS IN VATICAN CITY. >> EVERY WEDNESDAY AT THE VATICAN WITH THE POPE PRESIDING OVER THE GENERAL AUDIENCE, LOOKING PERFECTLY FINE. SO, WE WERE SURPRISED WHEN A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER, THE VATICAN SAYS HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR SOME PRESCHEDULED MEDICAL TESTS. BUT THEN, RUMORS BEGAN TO BUILD. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE VATICAN SAYS THAT IN FACT, HE HAS A RESPIRATORY INFECTION. >> Reporter: IS A YOUNG MAN, FRANCIS HAD PART OF ONE LUNG REMOVED WHILE IN SEMINARY IN ARGENTINA, SUFFERING FROM PNEUMONIA. KNEE PAIN HAS FORCED HIM TO USE A WHEELCHAIR IN THE PAST YEAR. HE UNDERWENT COLON SURGERY IN 2021, WHEN HE WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR 10 DAYS. TODAY WHILE MEETING WITH ARGENTINA'S PRESIDENT, JOE BIDEN TOLD REPORTERS HE HAD JUST HEARD ABOUT THE POPE'S HEALTH ISSUES. THE PRESIDENT, A LIFELONG CATHOLIC, TOLD REPORTERS HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE MAN HE CALLS A DEAR FRIEND. >> WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE YOU WITH US HERE IN STUDIO, LISTENING TO YOUR REPORT, DID YOU GET ANY SORT OF SENSE FROM THE VATICAN, IN TERMS OF HOW LONG POPE FRANCIS MIGHT BE IN THE HOSPITAL? IT SOUNDS LIKE WE DID NOT GET ANYTHING, INFORMATION WISE TO BEGIN WITH. DO WE KNOW IF THIS IS A SERIOUS AS IT LOOKS? >> KNOW. I THINK EVERYONE IS SURPRISED BY THIS BOOK THEY SAID A FEW DAYS, DEPENDING ON THE ITALIAN TRANSLATION THAT YOU BELIEVE, BUT, THE KEY IS THAT THEY HAVE NOT PUT OUT A TIMELINE. AND THIS IS A VERY BUSY TIME OF YEAR FOR POPE FRANCIS. STARTING ON SUNDAY BEGINS HOLY WEEK WITH PALM SUNDAY MASS, AND THEN HE IS EXPECTED ON THURSDAY THERE IS THE CARRYING OF THE CROSS ON FRIDAY, HE SAID EASTER SUNDAY MASS, AND THEN GIVES THE CITY AND WHIRLED HIS BLESSING AFTERWARDS. IT'S A REALLY BIG WEEK, BUT THE VATICAN HAS HAD TO PUT OUT ANY KIND OF TIMELINE. ALL WE DO KNOW IS THAT HIS MEETINGS HAVE BEEN CANCELED FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. >> HE HAS TALKED ABOUT SOME OF HIS HEALTH ISSUES IN THE PAST, WHAT HAS HE SAID WHEN YOU'VE ADDRESSED THINGS LIKE THIS BEFORE? >> Reporter: HE SAYS THAT HE IS IN GOOD HEALTH FOR A MAN OF HIS AGE BUT HE IS 86. I THINK THAT IS REALLY THE THING THAT WORRIES PEOPLE, HERE, BECAUSE HE IS GETTING ON IN AGE AND AS WE CAN ALL SEE, HE IS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING AROUND, BECAUSE OF THAT KNEE PAIN. IT IS WHY HE USES A WHEELCHAIR. BUT, HE SAYS HE IS IN GOOD HEALTH AND THAT HIS HEALTH IS NO IMPEDIMENT TO BEING POPE, TO BEING THE LEADER OF 1.2 BILLION CATHOLICS. BUT, HE ALSO SAID TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BACK IN JANUARY, WHEN HE SPOKE TO THEM, THAT THIS COLON SURGERY HE HAD BACK IN 2021, THE BULGES THAT WERE IN HIS INTESTINES, HE SAID, HAD COME BACK. THAT IS CONCERNING. BUT, THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM AS WE KNOW IT NOW. THIS IS A RESPIRATORY INFECTION, ALTHOUGH NOT CODED. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, WE APPRECIATE IT. >>> OUTRAGE IS GROWING IN MEXICO FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF VIDEO INSIDE A MIGRANT CENTERFIRE WHICH KILLED DOZENS OF PEOPLE. TODAY, MEXICO'S PRESIDENT ADDRESSED THE MOUNTING QUESTIONS, AND PROMISED A TRANSPARENT INVESTIGATION. WE SHOULD WARN YOU, THE VIDEO IS DIFFICULT TO WATCH. GABE GUTIERREZ HAS THE LATEST. >> Reporter: TONIGHT, THERE ARE NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SHOWING A FIRE THAT ERUPTED AT EIGHT MIGRANT HOLDING CENTER IN JUAREZ, MEXICO. CAPTURING THE MOMENT UNIFORMED OFFICIALS SEEM TO WALK AWAY AS FLAMES BREAK OUT IN THE CORNER. A GROUP OF MEN IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A LOCK SELL, MEN KICKING THE DOOR AS SMOKE SPREADS QUICKLY. 38 PEOPLE WERE KILLED AND DOZENS MORE INJURED. >> Reporter: NO LOVED ONES ARE DEMANDING ANSWERS. THIS MAN IS SEARCHING FOR HIS FRIEND FROM VENEZUELA. THEY HAVE NOT TOLD US ANYTHING, HE SAYS. >> Reporter: MOST IN THE CAMP WERE FROM GUATEMALA AND VENEZUELA. >> Reporter: AS CONTROVERSY MOUNTS, MEXICO'S PRESIDENT LASHED OUT AT REPORTERS, ACCUSING THEM OF YELLOW JOURNALISM. HE PROMISED A FULL INVESTIGATION OF THE FIRE. YESTERDAY, HE SAID THAT MIGRANTS HAD SET SMALL MATTRESSES ON FIRE IN PROTEST BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD THEY WOULD BE DEPORTED . IN THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO YOU CANNOT SEE WHO STARTS THE FIRE BUT YOU CAN SEE MATTRESSES IN THE FRAME. STILL, SOME MIGRANT ADVOCATES ARE PUSHING BACK ON THE GOVERNMENT NARRATIVE. >> BUT HAVE TOLD US THAT THEY TAKE AWAY AND REMOVE ALL TYPES OF ITEMS, SO USUALLY THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING WITH THEM THAT COULD START A FIRE. >> Reporter: THEY SAY THESE FACILITIES ARE OFTEN OVERCROWDED AND INHUMANE. >> THAT IS THE WORD THAT CAME TO ME AND TO MANY. INHUMANE. I WAS THERE AND I COULD HEAR THE SCREAMING FROM A BLOCK AWAY. AS WE WERE WALKING TOWARDS THIS BUILDING, WE WERE NOT YET AWARE THAT THEY HAD BEEN LOCKED INSIDE. >> GABE GUTIERREZ JOINS US NOW. MEXICAN OFFICIALS HAVE SAID MANY MIGRANTS HERE WERE ON THEIR WAY TO THE UNITED STATES BUT HAVE WE HEARD ANYTHING FROM AMERICAN OFFICIALS? >> CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION JUST RELEASED A STATEMENT SAYING THAT IT WAS SADDENED BY THE TRAGIC FIRE, AND THAT IT IS PREPARED TO OFFER HUMANITARIAN PAROLE ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS TO ANY WHO WERE INJURED AND MIGHT NEED MEDICAL CARE HERE IN THE U.S. >> IN YOUR PIECE, THAT ONE MAN SAYING I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS OR IF HE'S IN THE HOSPITAL OR BURNED, JUST HAVE NO. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR ANSWERS. HAVE THE MEXICAN AUTHORITIES GIVEN ANY UPDATES? >> THERE IS A LOT OF FRUSTRATION DOWN IN MEXICO, AND ALSO PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES AS MORE ANSWERS HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED BUT MEXICO'S PRESIDENT HAS INSISTED AND PROMISED A TRANSPARENT INVESTIGATION, SAYING THAT MEXICO'S SECURITY MINISTER WILL BRIEF REPORTERS ON THE LATEST. >> THANK YOU. >>> BACK HERE AT HOME, A POSSIBLE BIG CHANGE OMING TO THE SKIES, CONGRESS IS CONSIDERING A NEW LAW THAT COULD PREVENT AN UNRULY PASSENGER FROM EVER FLYING AGAIN.

MORE THAN TWO EACH DAY, COMPARED TO 146 CASES IN ALL OF 2019. MOST RECENTLY, A PASSENGER ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO STAB A FLIGHT ATTENDANT IN THE NECK. BILLY NOLAN WITH LESTER. >> IF YOU ACT UP ON FLIGHTS WE WILL COME AFTER YOU. >> Reporter: WHILE AIRLINES ROUTINELY BEEN UNRULY PASSENGERS, THIS LEGISLATION WOULD CREATE A NATIONAL NO-FLY LIST OPERATED BY THE TSA. A BAN ON ONE AIRLINE WOULD RESULT IN A BAN ON ALL. >> WE MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE CAN NEVER COME NEAR ANY AIRPORT IN THIS COUNTRY EVER AGAIN. >> Reporter: WHILE THE WHITE HOUSE, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS UNIONS AND A PILOT UNION SUPPORT A NATIONAL DO NOT FLY LIST, SOME, BUT NOT ALL ELLER LINES ARE ON BOARD. THE QUESTION, NOW, IS WHETHER CONGRESS CAN PASS A LEGISLATION. >> TOM COSTELLO, THANK YOU. >> A BRUTAL CASE OF BULLYING IN GEORGIA.

OFFICIALS SAY AT LEAST TWO ARE STUCK IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY. AT LEAST ONE IS SUBMERGED AND ONE IS DAMAGE. THE BARGE COMPANY SAYS SALVAGE OPERATIONS MAY BE DELAYED DUE TO HIGH RIVER LEVELS. THE CITY SAYS THEY CONTINUE TO TEST AIR QUALITY AND SO FAR THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS. >>> A GROUP OF SWIMMERS IN HAWAII ARE BEING ACCUSED OF DOLPHIN HARASSMENT. DRONE FOOTAGE SHOWS THE GROUP OF 33 PEOPLE SWIMMING TOWARDS THE POD OF DOLPHINS. AUTHORITIES SAY THE GROUP CORRALLED, HARASSED AND SWAM AGGRESSIVELY TOWARDS THEM. FEDERAL LAW BANS THE ACT OF SWIMMING WITHIN 50 YARDS OF DOLPHINS. CASES HAVE BEEN OPENED AGAINST EACH OF THOSE SWIMMERS. >>> WE TURN TO HEALTH NEWS. THE FDA APPROVING NARCAN, A NASAL SPRAY VERSION. THEY HAVE APPROVED IT FOR OVER THE COUNTER SALES DIRECTLY TO CONSUMERS. IN RECENT YEARS THE UNITED STATES HAS SEEN A SHARP UPTICK IN DRUG INVOLVED OVERDOSE DEATHS AND OFFICIALS SAY NARCAN IS A KEY TOOL TO PREVENT ADDITIONAL TRAGEDIES. FOUR MORE ON THIS DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT IT COULD DO TO CURB THE CRISIS, I'M JOINED BY THE NBC NEWS MEDICAL FELLOW. OKAY, THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL THOUGH, RIGHT? THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IN THIS COUNTRY. THE FACT THAT PEOPLE CAN MORE EASILY GET ACCESS TO NARCAN, ADVOCATES SAY THIS IS A GREAT POSITIVE STEP. WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO MORE EASILY ACCESS THIS WHEN IT HAS BEEN AVAILABLE IN THE PAST? >> IT IS A BIG STEP FOR US FIGHTING THE DRUG CRISIS. THERE ARE ABOUT 100,000 DEATHS IN THE U.S. ALONE FROM DRUG OVERDOSES. MOST OF THOSE ARE FROM OPIATE RELATED DRUGS. WHAT IS NEW IS THE STIGMA. BEFORE YOU COULD ASK A PHARMACIST IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PRESCRIPTION OR ASK YOUR DOCTOR. MANY STATES HAD STANDING ORDERS, MEANING YOU COULD ASK A PHARMACIST FOR ONE. WHAT IS NEW HERE IS THE STIGMA. YOU WANT TO GET THIS INTO VENDING MACHINES AND CONVENIENCE STORES. THAT WAY YOU CAN AVOID THE AWKWARD CONVERSATION WHERE SOME PEOPLE MIGHT FEEL EMBARRASSED OR BE WORRIED ABOUT BEING SEEN IN A WAY THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO BE SEEN. THAT IS WHAT TODAY IS ABOUT, MAKING IT EASY TO GET ACCESS TO. >> WHO SHOULD BE CARRYING NARCAN, AND HOW DO YOU USE IT? >> YOU WANT TO CARRY IT IF YOU ARE SOMEBODY WHO IS AT RISK OR SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS SOMEONE AT RISK. MAYBE THEY'RE TAKING OPIATES FOR CHRONIC BACK PAIN. YOU WANT TO HAVE IT HANDY. YOU WANT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE WITH IT. HOW DO YOU USE IT? I HAVE ONE HERE. THE BEST EXAMPLE I CAN GIVE YOU IS, IT IS ALMOST LIKE A NASAL ALLERGY SPRAY. YOU PUT TWO FINGERS HERE AND YOU JUST PUT THIS INTO SOMEONE'S NOSE AND WITHIN A COUPLE MINUTES THEY SHOULD WAKE UP. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, EVEN IF THEY DO WAKE UP, YOU WANT TO CALL 911 BECAUSE THIS DOES NOT LAST THAT LONG AND YOU ARE WORRIED THEY COULD GO BACK INTO AN OVERDOSE. >> IT IS JUST ONE SQUIRT? >> ONE SQUIRT EVERY TWO MINUTE , BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO CALL 911. >> IF YOU ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU THINK THERE IS A POSSIBILITY SOMEONE MIGHT BE OVERDOSING, BUT YOU'RE NOT SURE, WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THIS PERSON NEEDS NARCAN? >> THERE ARE CLASSIC SIGNS. THE CDC HAS GREAT WEBSITES ON THIS. PINPOINTED PUPILS. IF YOU LOOK INTO SOMEONE'S EYES AND THE PUPILS ARE REALLY TINY, ARE THEY NOT BREATHING AS WELL AS THEY SHOULD? ARE THEY -- YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THE BODY CAN TURN BLUE AND YOU LOOK FOR CHOKING OR GURGLING SOUNDS MEANING THEY'RE HAVING TROUBLE CLEARING THEIR SECRETIONS. ALL OF THOSE THINGS TOGETHER CAN POINT YOU TOWARDS AN OVERDOSE. THERE IS NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE NARCAN HANDY. >> IS THERE A RISK -- I SEE SOMETHING HAPPENING AND I THINK IT IS AN OVERDOSE BUT I'M WORRIED ABOUT USING NARCAN, BECAUSE WHAT IF IT IS JUST A MINOR MEDICAL EMERGENCY, OR SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. WHAT IF I ADMINISTER NARCAN AND THEY ARE ON SOMETHING OTHER THAN OPIOIDS, AM I GOING TO DO HARM TO THIS PERSON? WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE ON THAT SITUATION? CAN IT BE DANGEROUS? >> EXCELLENT QUESTION. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS ABOUT THE DRUG, IT S EXTREMELY SAFE. THERE IS NO RISK OF IT NOT BEING AN OVERDOSE. THERE COULD BE AN ALLERGIC REACTION BUT THAT IS VERY RARE. NARCAN IS WELL TOLERATED. IF IT TURNS OUT THEY ARE NOT OVERDOSING, THEY WILL BE OKAY. >> THIS CAN SAVE LIVES WITH THE MORE PEOPLE WITH ACCESS TO IT. HOW MUCH DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS COST? >> THAT IS THE BIG QUESTION. WE ARE WAITING TO SEE HOW MUCH INSURANCE WILL COVER. AS YOU KNOW, FOR TYLENOL OR ADVIL OVER THE COUNTER, INSURANCE DOES NOT PAY FOR THAT. THAT IS ONE OF THE BIG THINGS WE ARE WATCHING FOR BECAUSE THERE IS DATA THAT SHOWS THE RISK OF FATAL OVERDOSES ARE HIGHER IN AREAS WITH GREATER POVERTY AND LACK OF EDUCATION. WE WORRY ABOUT THOSE KIND OF THINGS AND IF IT WILL BE AFFORDABLE, BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE ARE ESTIMATING ABOUT $60 FOR A PACK, AND THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. >> ALSO SOMETHING THAT COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE. >>> WE HAVE NEW DEVELOPMENTS ON A STORY WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING HERE ON TOP STORY. LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS SAY SEVERAL ARREST WARRANTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED AFTER A STRING OF ROBBERIES AND ASSAULTS TARGETING GAY BARS HERE IN NEW YORK. WE HAVE THE NBC NEWS INVESTIGATION. >> Reporter: NEW YORK CITY'S HELLS KITCHEN, ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC NEIGHBORHOODS. A FAVORITE SPOT FOR THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY. NOW A TARGET FOR THIEVES. USING A DEBILITATING AND SOMETIMES DEADLY COCKTAIL OF DRUGS TO STEAL FROM VICTIMS, LIKE 33-YEAR-OLD JOHN. >> HE JUST LOVE THE ENERGY OF THE CITY >> Reporter: HE CAME TO NEW YORK LAST SPRING TO WORK . >> Reporter: HIS MOTHER SAYS THERE IS SECURITY FOOTAGE OF HIM LEAVING WITH TWO UNIDENTIFIED MEN. HIS BODY WAS DISCOVERED IN THE APARTMENT HE HAD BEEN STAYING IN. HIS FAMILY SAYS HIS PHONE AND WALLET WERE GONE AND $20,000 HAD BEEN DRAINED FROM HIS ACCOUNT. >> Reporter: AT FIRST THEY BELIEVED HIS DEATH WAS A DRUG OVERDOSE, NOT PART OF THE CRIME. ACCORDING TO HIS MOTHER -- >> THE POLICE WANTED TO JUST GO WITH IT WAS GRAND LARCENY. IT WAS JUST A THEFT. >> Reporter: DID YOU THINK , YEAH, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE DRUGS THAT IS NOT MAKE SENSE. >> CORRECT >> Reporter: SHE WAS CONVINCED AFTER HER SISTER SENT HER THIS ARTICLE ABOUT JULIO RAMIREZ. >> SHE SAID LOOK AT THIS. YOU NEED TO SEE THIS. IT JUST HAS A WEIRD SIMILARITY >> Reporter: RAMIREZ WAS FOUND DEAD AFTER LEAVING HELLS KITCHEN LAST APRIL. POLICE SAID HE DIED OF A APPARENT DRUG OVERDOSE. THE FAMILY SAYS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WERE STOLEN FROM HIS ACCOUNT TOO. >> IT BECAME VERY CLEAR THAT THIS WAS RAMPANT WITH MANY VICTIMS AND DIFFERENT GROUPS OR DIFFERENT RINGS DOING THE SAME THING. HOW DO YOU WATCH SOMEONE DIE AND THEN WALK OUT THE DOOR AND START USING THEIR CREDIT CARDS? >> Reporter: TONIGHT, 10 MONTHS AFTER HER SON'S DEATH, TWO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS SAY THERE ARE INDICTMENTS. THE DA ISSUING ARREST WARRANTS FOR SIX MAN ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED IN 17 ROBBERIES, SOME FACING MURDER CHARGES. IT DOES NOT STOP THERE. THE MEDICAL EXAMINER TELLS NBC NEWS IT IS INVOLVED IN THE INVESTIGATION OF SEVERAL ADDITIONAL DEATHS IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE VA WILL NOT COMMENT WHILE THE NYPD SAYS IT IS STILL INVESTIGATING. >> THESE CRIMINALS HAVE REALIZED THAT THEY CAN GO OUT AND VICTIMIZE PEOPLE AND GET THEM VERY DRUNK AND ACCESS THEIR ONLINE BANKING ACCOUNTS. >> Reporter: YOU THINK THEY ARE ACTUALLY USING SOMEONE'S FACE WHEN THEY ARE UNCONSCIOUS TO UNLOCK THEIR BANKING APPS? >> THEY HOLD THE PHONE UP TO THEIR FACE AND USE THEIR FACE. >> Reporter: HE SAYS THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS ON HIGH ALERT. >> WHEN PEOPLE COME THROUGH WE REMIND THEM, NOT WORN THEM, JUST REMIND THEM TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR DRINKS. >> Reporter: MOST OF THE VICTIMS HAVE BEEN GAY AND THAT ADDS TO HER FAMILY'S PAIN. >> TO SEE A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN PERSECUTED JUST FOR BEING THEMSELVES, TARGETED, JUST REALLY HURTS. IT ANGERS ME. >> Reporter: SHE IS HOPEFUL HER SONS A STORY WILL BE A WARNING THAT MAY SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES. NBC NEWS, NEW YORK. >>> A NEW WARNING ONIGHT ABOUT THE POTENTIAL DANGERS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. ELON MUSK AND MORE THAN 1000 TECH LEADERS SIGNING A LETTER CALLING FOR A PAUSE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF AI, SAYING IT COULD POSE FOUND RISK TO SOCIETY AND HUMANITY. THAT WARNING COMING AS CRIMINALS ARE FINDING NEW WAYS TO EXPLOIT AI TO TRY TO SCAM YOU. >> Reporter: IT IS A PHONE CALL JOHN BRIDGES WILL NEVER FORGET. >> I SAID WHAT IS WRONG? AND SHE SAID I HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT AND I NEED YOUR HELP. >> Reporter: HIS DAUGHTER, PANICKED AND CRYING BEFORE ANOTHER VOICE GETS ON THE LINE. >> I SAID I WILL GIVE YOUR DAUGHTER BACK THAT I NEED CASH >> Reporter: HE DID NOT END UP GIVING MONEY TO THE CAMMER, THANKS TO HIS QUICK THINKING WIFE WHO CALLED THEIR ACTUAL DAUGHTER. BUT HE GOT CLOSE. HE EVEN GRABBED CASH FROM HOME AND DROVE TO A MEET UP LOCATION. >> WHEN I FIRST HEARD MY DAUGHTER'S VOICE, I MEAN -- IT WAS MY DAUGHTER'S VOICE. IT CONVINCED ME THAT WAS HER. >> Reporter: CALLS LIKE THIS HAVE THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION SOUNDING THE ALARM THIS MONTH. THEY ARE WARNING OF ADVANCING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE USE TO SIMULATE SOMEONE'S VOICE WITH IMPOSTER SCAMS. IT IS THE MOST COMMONLY REPORTED FRAUD WITH LOSSES JUMPING UP TO $2.6 BILLION LAST YEAR.
