At the central bahamas and huge changes the next 24 hours and expected as 5 00 a. M. Track which is the newest to go about 200 miles offshore from nantucket so that would keep it out to sea.

Families are grieving today in the state of tennessee and authorities are scouring the life of a young man they say shot and killed four american marines. Investigators found the total of four guns after the shootings in chattanooga. They say Mohammad Abdulazeez had three on him and a rifle was found at his home. Federal authorities are treating the shooting as an act of terrorism. There are too many of the warning signs. The targets are identical to the targets called by isis to attack. So, my judgment in my experience is that this was an isisinspired attack. Thats his opinion. So far, they are treated it as a terror investigation right now. Thursdays attack happened at two military sites, the first that recruiting center. Several of the marines were combat veterans. When the shooting started, a Senior Defense official says those marines went into combat mode. They had everyone drop to the floor and then leave through the back. Reports say the marines helped save all seven lives at th
Or 60 just trapped there on the highway. A good number of them on fire several of them continuing to burn. Youre watching live pictures right now of the fight from the sky and the ground. This is a plane dc10 that has been called in to help fight this blaze, dropping the fire retardant, an air tanker and helicopters also on scene. We saw firefighters for the first time recently on the ground right now. Again, the issue, so many of these cars trapped on the freeway with their gas tanks full. So there is urgency to get this fire out at least on the freeway as soon as possible. Look at the chopper right there, the choppers are dropping water all day on the righthand side of your screen. The dc10 which will shortly drop fire retardant on that area right now and hopefully showdown some of the blaze. While were waiting for that to happen im joined by driver ryan mccachran. He is in the fire area, on the freeway, essentially forced to flee. What can you tell us, ryan . Well i was on my way, t
And i believe perhaps hes a war hero senator john mccain taking the high road. Hes had no comment but plenty of other people have chimed in. I want to bring in mark preston, executive editor for cnn politics live in iowa today. Also with us in studio our digital correspondent for cnn politics. Mark i want to start with you. How is trump trying to stop the bleeding from all this . Theres no question that he is definitely trying to at least address the issue if not outright dismiss it. Hes done this in many ways. Hes done it via a tweet putting something out on twitter saying that in fact that anybody who has been captured u. S. Soldier, is a hero. Hes put out a statement and he has also addressed it on camera where he has come out and said that john mccain is actually not a very good senator when it comes to issues surrounding veterans and then he did back off a little bit but not very much. He is in very full damage control. Before trumps comments today, he had some real momentum. You
