Major airports missing threats right under their noses. Nightly news begins right now. From nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is numbers nightly news with lester holt. Good evening, we beginning with a story breaking here in new york city this evening. A horrific attack during the height of the rush in mid town manhattan that sparked fears initially it might have been terrorism.

Reheema ellis has the latest. Reporter during tonights crowded rush hour, just blocks from new yorks pen station. You can see a lot of Police Activity going on down here. Reporter Officials Say two proffers were attacked by whats being attacked as a cleaver. One of them struck in the face. The officers fired at the suspect near the bustling commuter hub, wounding him. The two officers and the suspect were transported to a hospital, one in serious to critical condition. And the other two with injuries that do not appear to be lifethreatening. According to one Law Enforcement official, the fbi is sending agents from the joint Terrorism Task force to the scene as a precaution. This incident eerily mirrors an october 2014 attack on an nypd officer in queens. A man attacked four officers with a hatchet, striking one in the head. Thompson was shot dead by police and all of the officers survived. Still, this most recent incident once again triggers fears about lonewolf attackers. The primary concern of the government is going to be the motivation behind the individual. Was he inspired, was he motivated, was he working with anyone else . And late this evening, Law Enforcement officials identified the suspect as a man from queens named akram joudah. Law enforcement is investigating his record and his motive for the attack. Lester .

This as one of trumps son defends his father over controversial remarks. Reporter a renewed call for trump to release his tax returns, this time by the head of the republican party. Reporter paul ryan responding to questions after Donald Trump Jr offered yet another explanation for why trump isnt releasing those returns. Because hes got a 12,000page tax return.

Reporter a new poll shows 75 of likely voters say trump should release his tax returns, including 60 of republicans. Later in the day, don jr caused an entirely different distraction when he said this about the media giving Hillary Clinton a pass on what he called lies.

Adding a cap to personal deductions and limiting the 15 tax rate to corporations. We cannot grow at 4 unless theres huge productivity improvements, but nobodys expecting that right now. So we certainly cant count on it. Reporter donald trump is trying to lay out policy, but his plans keep getting drowned out by controversies, often crass fights with individuals. Now hes telling jimmy fallon that he is trying to stop saying shocking things. Lester . Katy tur, thank you.

Reporter according to authorities, a responding officer opened fire on one of the suspects when he reached for a gun. Today Police Confirmed that 13yearold tyre king was shot at the scene and killed.

A second suspect confirmed king was involved with the robbery. The officer involved who is white, has been identified as brian mason, a nineyear veteran on the force. He was cleared of wrongdoing in another Fatal Shooting from 2012. He does have a history of following policy. Thats why he was out there. Because he still has that great record. This is not something that were going to take lightly with regard to his future. Reporter tyre kings death generated comparisons to that of tamir rice, killed by Cleveland Police while also carrying a toy gun, setting off nationwide protests. According to the washington post, since the start of 2015, Police Across the country have been involved in at least 60 deadly shootings of people with toy guns.

Reporter ron mott, nbc news, columbus. Now to an nbc news investigation, revealing a major security concern at airports across the nation. The tsa relies on k9 units as one of his best lines of defense to keep explosives from getting on planes. But as Scott Freedman from kxas found out, there are dozens of k9 teams with troubling failures on their records. Reporter at big airports, Security Officials count on k9s to sniff out explosives, checking bags, cargo, even passengers. Dogs have always been considered the Gold Standard in explosive detection. So when youre considered the best, you better be the best. Reporter but tsa records obtained by nbc news, show more than 50 times tsafunded dog teams failed certification tests at ten u. S. Large airports from january 2013 to june 2015. The most recent numbers available for those cities. At washington dulles airport, records show k9 teams failed ten times in that period. At love field, four tests failed. 21 tests failed at l. A. X. In los angeles. The records show some teams failed to find explosives. Others had too many false alarms that could lead to unnecessary airport evacuations. Teams that fail are not allowed to work in airports again until they can pass. In l. A. , airport Officials Say all teams passed more recent tests. Humans are fallible. K9s are fallible. But we gotta work every day for a hundred percent compliance. Reporter nationwide, tsa says newer numbers show improvement. Right now just eight failed teams are on the sidelines. Experts tell us k9 teams are more likely to fail if they neglect training time. Its conditioning. You cant tell them how to do it. Its just repetition to them. Reporter a 2013 congressional investigation found some k9 teams were repeatedly not in compliance with tsas monthly training requirement. Since then, tsa has launched a new program to hold teams more accountable. Trying to keep the top dogs at the top of their game. You dont get a doover in real life. If that team misses a explosive device, thats a device that can end up on an airplane. Reporter Scott Freedman, nbc news, dallas.
