and rumors like how many shooters there are. other police outside a riot. it was really scary. there is a woman who had to stay behind a little bit for evacuation. she was changing her diaper for her child. it was terrifying, actually. the gunman was killed at the scene by a police officer who happened to be at the outlived responding to a different matter. but neither his avidity nor those of the victims had been released as of yet. according to a database maintained by the associated press in usa today, this is the 27th mass killing the sierra. and the second deadliest after the monterey park massacre were 11 people were killed during lunar new year celebrations in january. joining me now, live from allen texas is nbc news correspondent morgan chesky also with us is jim kavanaugh, retired atf special agent in charge who was previously facing dallas for a period of time. msnbc terrorism analyst. morgan, one of the league is my friend that your hearing on the ground about t
guy top of the hour. thank you for joining us. uncertainty reigns on capitol hill, and they ll reconvene following a first day the front-runner kevin mccarthy was rejected three times. one of his allies says he has about 24 hours to say figure this out. we have now learning he s asked five colleagues to lead with negotiating with the no votes. also we re keeping a close watch on today mar ham ling. he remains sedated, his hungle telling cnn he s had to be resuscitated twice. we re going to speak with a athlete who had a similar experience, as wells as the trainer who resuscitated him. and the suspect in the death of four college students in idaho, and we want we want to begin with manu raju. it s happening by the minute now on the hill. do we know where negotiations stand? do we know if they re going to reconvene today? or maybe punt again? that is actually the big question of the hour. whether or not they ll actually come back at noon and have that fourth ballot vote. th
