The nations reeling this morning from the deadliest mass shooting in modern American History that killed at least 58 people. New details are emerging on the investigation in to the gunman as multiple officials confirm that steven paddock considered other targets for his horrifying attack. They included a festival in chicago that is attended by thousands. He went as far as booking a room in a hotel nearby and did not show up. These are the views he would have had from the Chicago Hotel lo room overlooking the park. He did Online Research about hotels around bostons fenway park. However, most hotels in that area have an obstruct, if any view of the park. Meanwhile the fbi is talking to the shooters girlfriend, according to a official, she said paddock would lie in bed screaming oh, my god. He may have been in physical or mental anguish, but so far, they have not identified a clear motive. The authorities are investigating what paddock did in the hour between shooting a Security Guard and his room being breeched by officers when he was found dead. Perhaps that could shed light in to why he committed this act. As the Investigation Continues so too does the memorial. It was another night of emotional tributes that i can see another one behind you there. Indeed, philip. On the edge of the strip and here, theres been erected a memorandum moirrial that has 58 crosses. There have been people coming through all evening as its grown and grown. Paying their respects. Paying tribute. Trying to learn more about who the individuals were. And earlier this evening. Not far from here, under a setting sun, there was a thousands of people gathering for the Memorial Service for the fallen Las Vegas Police officer. His name is charlston heartfield who was 34. And he was there off duty, with his wife who survive. His fellow officers paid tribute to him. I will continue to fight in your honor. With our brothers and sisters, the thin blue line always and forever no matter what, we are bonded as family. And we now know who all the vict victims were because the coroner released a full list today, but we dont know why the tragedy happened. Thats a question we are all going to be asking for a long time, ron, thank you. Well, an active u. S. Military operation is under way in west africa after three elite green berets were killed in an ambush and firefight with islamic militants. We have the latest. Reporter pentagon officials tell nbc news, isis may have been behind the deadly ambush of special forces. American troops are still on the ground.

Reporter it happened in the west african nation, the americans were on a training mission. Described as routine. Less than a dozen u. S. And local forces were on foot when they were ambushed by a larger group of islamic militants. The green berets and locals were overwhelmed and began to return fire. French helicopters arrived to rescue them, in addition to the three soldiers killed, two were injured. Are these forces, looking to engage islamic militants . No, we are on a Security Assistance mission. Reporter the ambush could mark a new chapter in the battle against isis in africa as isis fighters are losing territory in syria and iraq. Thank you for that. Now, to washington, where a new report said that the president will punt on a major issue in lumber bimbo, the iranr deal. President trump will announce next week that he will decertify the International Nuclear deal saying its not in the interest of the United States, and kicking it to congress. The president stressed hiss displeasure with the Iran Nuclear Deal overnight. We must not allow iran to obtain nuclear weapons. The Iranian Regime supports terrorism and exports violence. Blo blood bloodshed and chaos across the middle east. Thats why we have to put an end to irans continued aggression and nuclear ambitions, they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement and we will discuss it tonight. But those are not the only comments upsetting some this morning. Tracy, good morning, what are you hear something. So, last night, President Trump had a meeting and dinner with military leaders and he made a comment that left some scratching their heads about what he meant during the meeting. You can see the photo op there and he also had dinner and listen to what President Trump said. You know what this represents . Its the calm before the storm. Could be. The calm before the storm. What storm . We have of the worlds great military people in this room. I will tell you that. And we have had a great evening. Thank you all for coming. What storm, mr. President . You will find out. Give us a hint. Thank you everyone. Okay. So the president there with really the military brain trust of the United States but not talking about what he meant by the calm before the storm. Was he talking about isis . Was he talking about iran . Was he talking about north korea . Which he mentioned earlier in the day. We dont know, maybe we will find out more today. Meantime, a report that the president was fuming about the nbc report about his secretary of state, Rex Tillerson calling him a moron and threatening to resign. Tillerson has denied that, but when the president left town to go to las vegas, he left his chief of staff behind. New reporting suggesting that he was here at the white house trying to manage that crisis, also saying that Vice President pence was fuming over this as well, being pulled in to it, because our report said that pence had questioned whether or not nikki haley as u. N. Ambassador was helping or hurting the administration. Inside, trying manage that crisis, while on the outside, both of them appearing that everything is fine. A lot going on in washington. Thank you so much for that report. All right, well, check out this startling new headline from u. S. Today, secret service spent 137,000 on golf carts to protect trump at new jersey florida golf clubs. Florida clubs rather. The tally came from purchases that the secret service made on contracts to rent golf carts at trumps own clubs in order to protect the president. One of those contracts extends from may to next year. Meaning that 137,000 tally could rise. Now to the tracking of Tropical Storm nate. In 48 hours we could have a hurricane making land fall. We will see how strong it can get, and it will impact how strong it will be by the time it gets to louisiana. 45 miles an hour winds coming off the coat of hondurus.

That is Vice President pence at a meeting of the National Space council while pushing for astronauts to make another trip to the moon. He stressed investing in satellite technology. In washington this morning there may be signs change could be around the corner. With republicans and congress and possibly the nra now sounding positive about reviewing restrictions on bump stocks that were used in sundays las vegas attack. After decades of republican resistance on gun control, a new narrow opening on bump stocks. That let semiautomatic guns fire faster. Apparently this allows you to take a semiautomatic and turn it in to a fully automatic, that is clearly something we need to look in to. Its not just House Speaker paul ryan but john cornett. I think its worth our serious consideration. And the president himself, willing to consider new regulations. We are open to having that conversation. We think that we should have that conversation. And we want to be part of it moving forward. The wild card through all of it is the nra silent since sundays shooting, surprisingly supporting stricter rules. In a statement saying devices designed to that allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully automatic rifles to be subject to additional regulations. But in 2010 that agency determined that the the devices are allowed. Steve scalise is just back to work. Talking now with chuck todd. I think its a little bit early for people to say they know what to do to fix this problem. In the house, a new bipartisan bill would ban bump stocks.
