Winter. Then play by play. How a group of volunteers are bringing the theater to life for the visually impaired. Nightly news begins now. Announcer from nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news with kate snow. Good evening. Law enforcement are on edge tonight after three incidents across three states. In minnesota, a stabbing attack at a mall on the jersey shore, a pipe bomb exploding just before a race. And what the government is calling an act of terrorism. A bomb blast Strong Enough to shatter windows, shake apartments and injure 29 people. Thankfully all the injured are released from the hospital now as investigators try to figure out if there is a link between the incidents in new york and new jersey. We have all of it for you tonight beginning with our what were talking about is what seems to be three explosive devices that were found or detonated here in new york and new jersey. Investigators are trying to figure out, are all these incidents linked . They believe they have found one key connection with city officials telling nbc news that the detonator in these three devices all appear to have been old school, old style flip phones. And that similarity suggests this may have all been the work of one individual but they dont know who that is. Passersby ran in panic. Everybody get off the street lets go reporter from what new york officials today confirmed was a bomb that detonated in the heart of manhattan around 8 30 last night. The sound was so overwhelming. Reporter the bomb exploded in or near a dumpster, which seems to have contained much of the blast. Crack the glass doors of a gym across the street. When you see the amount of damage, we really were very lucky that there were no fatalities at the time. Reporter no fatalities. Luckily no one seriously injured, either. All 29 hurt were released from hospitals today. Much of the credit for that goes to the Rapid Response from this city, heavily secured after 9 11. Within minutes, police, flooded the area. And cordoned it off, leaving john avador unable to return to his home. I ran outside and saw glass and people screaming and chaos. One woman walked out, she was holding her head. Glass everywhere . There was glass everywhere. She said a chandelier had fallen on her head. Reporter and this may have been just part of a planned wider attack. Four blocks from the explosion, emergency crews found what unexploded. The governor said the two devices were similar. And hours earlier, a pipe bomb exploded in new jersey. There were no injuries. A bomb exploding in new york is, obviously, an act of terrorism, but its not linked to international terrorism. Nerd, we find no isis connection, et cetera. We have a lot more work to do to be able to say what kind of reporter there has been no claim of responsibility so far from any terrorist group, foreign or domestic. Police have many leads to work on. Video from the scene, bomb fragments. But authorities so far wont say if they have any suspects and ask the public for help. A security cordon is still in place here, but its relaxed now lets turn to that explosion in a beachside town in new jersey and the investigation, as richard mentioned, into whether it is connected to the new york incidents. Agents were back on the scene today searching for clues as residents remain on edge. Morgan has more. Reporter fbi going door to door asking residents if they saw anything suspicious. Door to speak with you . Theyve been canvassing the area and speaking with everyone. I spoke to them and others as well. A pipe bomb went off here early yesterday morning. They found other things that didnt detonate as intended. Federal authorities are now looking for clues and the perpetrator. Do you have any reason to believe that the explosion in race . As far as terrorism is concerned, chris, it clearly san act of terrorism, but it was done intentionally to try to terrorize the people of new jersey. So that we know, but we need to know who is responsible now and get them into custody. Reporter in belmar, new jersey, a festival canceled today for safety concerns. I think it was a good idea. Better safe than sorry and well see what happens next here. Reporter back at seaside park, residents thankful for what that could have been a lot worse if the whole thing had gone off. Reporter kate, were standing in the exact location where that pipe bomb exploded inside a trash can which you can still see here on the ground beside me. Also what happened is that pipe bomb, those contents have already been sent to quantico and theyre being processed at the same facility where those new york devices are also being sent. Kate . Morgan radford out in new jersey. For more now on these investigations in new jersey and williams. Pete, what do we know . Reporter well, no suspects tonight, no answers to the big question of who did it and whether the new york and new jersey bombings were connected, but this is a fastmoving investigation. The bomb planted there in new jersey turns out to be a gold mine of evidence, now being analyzed at the Fbi Crime Lab outside washington. It was made of three pipe bombs, but two didnt go off at all, and were told tonight the first one blew up only partly so lots of that was left behind how the bomb was built that went off in new york, but they assume tonight it was a Pressure Cooker. Theyre still gathering hundreds of pieces to be sent to the fbi, too. Some think the explosive material in that bomb represented widely used commercial products used by gun enthusiasts to make targets. As for the Pressure Cooker allegedly dropped off in a was identical to instructions written by al qaeda. There are coincidences between the two, especially the use of cell phones. They are investigating a mall attack as a potential tonight a man is being hailed as a hero. Reporter families with small children escorted out of a minnesota mall after a man with a knife disguised as a Security Guard went on a violent rampage. Somebody was stabbed right outside the store. Reporter witness say the man with the knife was yelling about allah and asking people about muslim. He was asking, are you a muslim . How do you respond to that when your face. They ranged in age from 15 to 50 years old. The man who stopped him now being hailed as a hero. The suspect tried to attack the officer. As the suspect tried to attack him with the knife, not only did he fire, the suspect came down, he came back up on he was said to be a soldier of isis, but there is no confirmation of that claim. Both the police and the Islamic Community of st. Cloud, minnesota say it is still too soon to know the motives. Minnesota is home to a Large Population of somali refugees, predominantly muslim. Today Community Leaders say theyre devastated by the violence of one man and have radicals who try to recruit their young men. Isis does not represent us. He does not represent islam, he does not represent somalis. Reporter now they fear they will be a target of backlash against muslims in the united states. Late this afternoon i spoke with several leaders of the Somali Community here who say they did know the suspect. They say his family is in disbelief over what happened. Police here in this Community Say they also knew the suspect. They had dealings with him in the past traffic stops. Kate . Gadi schwartz in minnesota. Thanks. The actions of the past 36 hours already playing in politics as National Security comes to the forefront in the political conversation. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton are reacting in very different ways, their responses reinforcing the contrast in their leader styles. Heres hallie jackson. Reporter after multiple plane, a bomb went off in new york. Reporter donald trump reacting fast just minutes after reports surfaced of the manhattan explosion, before authorities had confirmed what happened. We are going to get tough and smart and vigilant, and were going to end it. Were going to end it. So well see what it is. Reporter and today the tone of a new tweet raising eyebrows as he sends his warmest regards, best wishes and condolences to the victims. Hillary clinton meanwhile labeling the weekend incident an apparent terrorist attack, late saturday counseling caution. Well have to let this investigation unfold and ill have more to say about it when we actually know facts. From both nominees, a striking contrast when it comes to their idea of National Security. Do they want somebody who demonstrated they know people and know the facts, or do they want somebody who supposedly in not lost on either campaign, clintons camp touting her background. Trumps team, his tough talk. Mr. Trump is doing very well on the issue of who would manage Islamic Radical terrorism. I would say experience really matters. Reporter still, even the trump campaigns on showing strength, he is under fire for his National Security stance from some top republicans, including now twotime defense secretary robert gates, out with a scathing beyond repair. Robert gates. Believe me, i am so much better at what hes doing than he is. People say they trust trump on terror, but who better to serve as commander in chief, clinton has the edge. At a time of rising anxiety, a conflicted electorate. National security, of course, one of the top concerns for that the attacks of this weekend will continue to resonate politically until then here on the campaign trail. That said, if something similar were to happen in late october, early november, it could be a game changer. Hallie jackson, thanks. Inside aleppo as the ceasefire continues to unravel.
