Whats happened. How can you say thats not a public Health Issue . And overnight kenosha, wisconsin, gunfire broke out at a tavern leaving three people dead and two others seriously injured. In columbus, ohio one person died and five others were injured when someone opened fire in a parking lot. The group was gathering to hold a vigil for someone who had been killed there. The Mayor Tweeting enough, put down the guns, we must come together to end the violence that is tearing our community apart. President Biden Echoing that frustration on friday. Every single day, every single day theres a Mass Shooting in the united states if you count all those who were killed out on the streets of our cities and our rural areas. Its a national embarrassment, and must come to an end. And this Breaking News, just in to cnn, another shooting. Were learning three people are dead at the scene of an active Shooting Incident in austin, texas, thats according to Austin Travis County ems and as we learn more well bring, of course, that to you. So all of this coming as the nation braces for verdicts in the Derek Chauvin Murder trial. Closing arguments are scheduled to begin tomorrow. The City Of Minneapolis already on Edge And Cnn Learning Today that the two minnesota National Guardsmen were injured in a driveby shooting early this morning. Cnns Sara Sidner is in minneapolis for us this morning. What are you learning about National Guard, were they targeted, and what happened . Dont know if they were targeted but clearly theyre in their uniforms standing there, here in minneapolis. We know that the two of them, both had minor injuries from the glass that was that was hit, and, you know, at this point in time, if nothing else, it ratchets up the tension that is already here in the city. The first tension was, of course, as this trial is going on, of the man accused of killing George Floyd, the former officer Derek Chauvin and then on top of that you had the Shooting And Killing of Daunte Wright by a Police Officer, who has now been fired and charged and booked. She is now out on bail. The tension here cannot be higher, i mean, it just cant and we should state that. And then you have this shooting where there are National Guard who are here, they are here because theyve been called in by the government here for fear of, you know, unrest, depending on what the verdict is in the Derek Chauvin trial and here they are facing gunfire themselves. It is really going to create more chaos in this city with everybody, those who are armed and those who arent, on edge. Fr yeah, everyone on edge. Sara sidner, thanks so much in minneapolis. Authorities continue to search for whoever opened fire at a tavern near kenosha, killi three people and injuring others. Reporter another Mass Shooting in a relatively small town known as summers, you can see the Law Enforcement Activity behind me. This was the Summers House Tavern and according to authorities arent 12 40, 1 40 eastern time there had been a person who was thrown out of the bar for reasons were not quite clear and authorities believe that person returned with a gun or guns and opened fire. There was apparently a lot of gunfire taking place both inside and outside of the tavern. We know that three people were killed, two died on the property, another one died while being transported to the hospital and two other people are in serious condition. The gunman, or possibly more than one suspect, managed to escape. But authorities do not believe that there is a threat to the surrounding community. They describe this as a targeted incident. There was a Reverse 911 call that was put out just alerting people, and also asking if they had any information about any possible suspects. Theres also a local college that was put on lockdown for a short time. This is the 47th now Mass Shooting that has taken place in the united states since March 16th with the Atlanta Spa shootings. It is a tragedy that continues even in small towns like this. Fredricka . Martin vsavidge, thank you s much. With me is joe kennedy, a former democratic congressman from massachusetts, congressman kennedy, so good to see you. Good to be with you. So if not after newtown, if not after parkland, if not after 47 shootings in one month including Kenosha And Columbus Last Night what is it going to take for elected officials in america to do something and do you believe its up to elected officials . I think like everybody in this past month, fredricka, i wake up in the morning and look at the news and its just gutting. We started the show, as you started the show you said theres another one takes place in austin, texas. It has to stop. And the idea that some would say this is the price of freedom in this country, that this is what we all have to endure, in order to claim residents and citizenry here. Its just not true. And it doesnt have to be this way. And there is the vast majority of american public, 80 to 90 want this Stop And Support reforms to help make it stop but its a political system that inhibits it and prevents it. And ultimately that comes down to one, the political system and the structures have to change, we have to end the filibuster, and two, folks have got to start Voting And Youve got to start voting on this. We have the power to change it. Weve got to act on it. And for far too long we have allowed this to continue and it is enough. And youre underscoring what it says about the politics in this country but what does it also say about the culture in america . Because it seems like a multilayer faceted thing. It might be a multilayer faceted thing. Theres a lot that contributes to this, no single policy is going to solve this but as you know we are the one country in the world that suffers from this epidemic. Plenty of other countries have guns, plenty of other countries have Video Games, plenty of other countries struggle with mental illness. Plenty of other countries have all of the challenges that we do but they dont have this, this is, in fact, a uniquely american problem because we do not do the things that are necessary to stop it. We can, ultimately, folks, that is a choice. That is a choice of republicans not to actually do the hard things that are necessary. Thats a choice now for democrats to end the filibuster so that we can. Because i cant imagine how many more people have to wake up and say, my father or mother, my brother or sister, my son or daughter, isnt Coming Home because of Gun Violence in america, enough. It is a horrible distinction that america has on the world stage. Republican Senator John Cornyn was, on a sunday morning, a new show today, alongside democratic senator Chris Coons and said the parties arent as divided as they seem. Listen. Were trying to identify areas where we can make progress. I know a lot of concern about Gun Violence in the country, thats been a chronic problem. I work with chris murphy, the senator from connecticut, we passed something called the Fix Nix Bill which has now resulted in millions of new background checks being uploaded to the Background Check System and as ive told chris, im very proud of our work together on that because i believe its saved lives. So Chris Coons and i have tried to identify those areas like civics education, like you said the background check denial, report to local police, americorps where Ic Make Progress and get back the Muscle Memory of previous years when congress actually worked better together. So congressman kennedy, does this make you hopeful that something, something bipartisan, could actually happen at this time . Look, i hope so, and i dont want to minimize any of the items that Senator Cornyn highlighted there. That would be great. That doesnt stop this. And that cant be an excuse for inaction on this. We have seen republicans put up roadblock after roadblock after Roadblock And Youve started by listing those names that are now etched in all of our souls from sandy hook, to when i was a kid in high school, columbine. Yeah. We cant accept this as good enough. And we can actually do something about it so i really hope the senator will not just throw out those reforms. And look, the Nix System is great. The fact is that the young man that is now accused of killing eight in indianapolis had a gun taken away from him months ago and went out and bought two assault rifles, two. Yeah. This has got to stop. So last Night Congresswoman Maxine waters, democrat, california, marched with protesters in minnesota. And she is hoping for a guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial and she wants the Police Officer who shot Daunte Wright to also be held accountable in court for his death. She underscores the power of protest, while also calling for people in elected roles to push for policy changes. Listen. Weve got to stay on the street. And weve got to get more active. Weve got to get more confrontational. Weve got to make sure that they know that we mean business. The police all over this country have got to be changed. Policing has got to be changed. Weve got to redefine what policing is all about. Weve got to reimagine how we can deal with the problems of our society without young people and people of color, in particular, getting killed by police that we pay to protect and serve us. All that youve said, it seems like you agree that we as a nation are at an apex that really demands big immediate changes and thats exactly what the congresswoman is saying too. And protests and voices being loud is important to help keep the momentum going. Its critically important to keep the momentum going but remember, and think of congresswoman waters uniquely in this circumstance. She was on the front lines of these issues back with rodney king, that was in her congressional district back in los angeles, all those years ago. So what she says on the streets of Minnesota Isnt just the moment that were talking about now. Its now 30 years of watching this Play Out, and thinking that we still are struggling with these same battles and with these same demons and we still havent been able to make the progress that we need to make. So the time has come for change. 13yearold boy. Yeah. An unarmed man at a Traffic Stop whos 20 and a father. We can we can make these changes. Theyre going to be difficult and theyre going to be hard. But we have to do them this is just too much, and i think thats obviously the passiOn And sentiment youre seeing just overflow across this country now. It is frustrating and it is tenuous on so many levels. So congressman, i want to shift gears now and talk about an Opinion Piece that you wrote for cnn. Com where the question where youre questioning the motives of a wave of gop attacks on transgender athletes across the country, State Legislators have introduced dozens of bills in multiple states to ban transgender girls from participating in girls sports, tell us why this movement is important to you and where you think it is going in terms of already dozens of pieces of legislation are being introduced. Look, this movement should be important for every american because this Movement Isnt as some would say about a culture war, this gets to the heart of who we are as a nation. This gets to civil rights. This gets to the point of civil rights that says there are inherent characteristics that we have that are worthy of protection. And that the fundamental freedom that you should enjoy in this country is the ability to just be you. And that is all that this is about, its about protecting that for, lit ralgly, one of the most targeted and vulnerable populations we have in this country, which is a transgender community. Fredricka, im sure youre aware of it you heard the arguments, some of those making the argument is that they believe transgender girls would have an advantage over other girls, and thats at the root of these pieces of these proposals. So ive heard that argument, interestingly enough one of the folks that filed a lawsuit alleging that, then went on to beat the target of the lawsuit, the young transgirl, in an athletic competition two days later. That the numbers of incidents that critics would point to where this happens is literally essentially zero. Major Sports Leagues including the ncaa have protocols put in place to address its. The fact is that these the transcommunity is literally one of the most targeted and vulnerable communities in the country, and instead of saying how can we protect that population, republicans are saying how can we exploit them for our own political gain . The think of this. The average Life Expectancy for a black transwoman of color in the united states today, you know what it is . 35. 35 years old. We can do better than this. And the idea that we should be exploiting the fears that some in our country have, and putting them on the shoulders of a vulnerable community, that might be some of our worst history in the past, but we should have learned from that and we should be able to protect them now and whats that im calling for and i think so many others are too, to see this for what it is, which is a call of victimizatiOn And thats the only thing uniting the republican party at the moment. Saying we are under attack because somehow that Unaccompanied Minor coming across the border into the Country Isnt worthy of protection, theyre going to change our country. Somehow transkids being protected, are going to influence culture, give me a break. Congressman joe kennedy, good to see you and welcome to the arena that is cnn as a contributor. Thank you.

Six women between the ages of 18 and 48 who had recently been vaccinated developed rare blood clots. Doctors say they are beginning to understand whats causing the blood clots. But they have not found a definitive link to the vaccine. Dr. Anthony fauci expects the panel to have a decision for that vaccine at the end of the week. I dont want to get ahead of the cdc and the fda and the advisory committee. But i would imagine that what we will see is that it would come back and it would come back in some sort of either warning or restriction. Cnns Polo Sandoval joins me now from detroit, michigan, a state thats witnessing a third covid surge, polo, what are you learning there . Reporter well, fred, we are learning that amid this ongoing increase in cases and hospitalizations in michigan, the governor is addressing the ongoing calls weve heard by many here in the state of michigan saying that perhaps the best solution to these increasing numbers would be to actually shut down various parts of the state. Similar to what we saw Play Out a year ago. Remember, just recently, even the head of the cdc suggested that that might be the best solution here. But again, today the governor is essentially responding saying at this point that may not be the best solution. And specifically saying its likely because of what she described as republican led efforts here in the state of michigan, including also a or at least in addition to a recent decision from the State Supreme Court greatly limiting her authority to extend the emergency declaration. And because of those reasons, as she explained on Meet The Press this morning shes unable to actually take the actions we saw a year ago. Were now in a much different position. On top of that, in the waning months i have been sued by my legislature. I have lost in a republicancontrolled supreme court. And i dont have all of the exact same tools. Despite those things we still have some of the strongest Mitigation Measures in the country. Mask mandates, capacity limitations, working from home. So were still doing what we can. Reporter and asked by nbcs chuck todd, she felt she basically had her hands tied right now as the numbers continue to increase. She said ultimately about its personal responsibility and how continuing to adhere to recommended measures like mask wearing and social distancing. Its something we continue to hear from the medical community, we spent some time outside a Hospital Yesterday thats trying to keep up with this third surge, heard from a doctor whos been at the front lines for the last 15 or 16 months who fears people are still not getting the message here in michigan alone that that is the best way to try to bring these numbers down, especially with over half the cases right now being tied to that variant that originated in the uk. All right, Polo Sandoval in detroit, thank you so much for that. Joining me to discuss is dr. Jane morgan, the executive director dr. Morgan, good to see you. So experts are warning that more states could soon see scenarios similar. Boy thats an alliteration, to the coronavirus crisis, you know, unfolding in michigan. What are you most concerned about right now . Thank you, fredricka, for having me today. I think one of the things that we need to be concerned about is that this tragedy continues to unfold. And currently, as we move deeper and deeper into our Vaccination Effort we are seeing that seniors 65 and over, over 75 of those have been vaccinated. So now what we are looking at is a shift in the demographics down to a younger and younger Age Group and were seeing the surges, spring break, next will be memorial day, next will be fourth of july. Weve got to begin to get serious about this because although many people who are younger than the age of 30, or 35, seem to feel that theres some invincibility, if i contract covid, i will not get sick. But the fact of the matter is, while that might be true you might be sick later on down the road and develop this long Haul Syndrome. And, in fact, be sicker later, than you were when you actually were infected. And we have to be able to identify that and to transmit that message. So do you believe thats going to be the new frontier of messaging . Because young people, largely have felt pretty invincible. And now youve got to convince young people, as more stays open up, to vaccinations starting at ages 16 in so many states. Now there has to be a campaign to convince them to actually get the vaccine. Right . Because many of the young people already feel like, because so many are asymptomatic that they can kind of beat this thing even if they are exposed to it. Absolutely, thats correct. And we have to have some sympathy. People are exhausted. And when we look at our youth, this is their time to be free and to socialize and to interact and were asking them to please dampen down, follow Public Health Measures and its going On And On And on. But part of the reason that its going on is because we can never get together as a society. And truly follow these Public Health Measures. Now that we have these immunizations in place i think that adds another layer of that invincibility but long Haul Syndrome is serious and its independent of Race And Gender and age and Socioeconomic Status and even level of complications of comorbidities. You can be young and infected with covid19 and sit at Home And Quarantine yourself and play Video Games and mark your calendar until you can spring yourself in 14 days but three or four or five months down the road, you might actually develop some of these symptoms that long term you could actually be sicker than you were when you had covid and currently there is no treatment and we have no cure for long Haul Syndrome. Loss of taste or smell, disorientation, people have disabilities, unable to return to work, difficulty with memory, things even more serious, inflammation of the heart, inflammation of the lungs, all of these things can develop, even though your course of covid was fairly innocuous. You were pretty comfortable. You might be sick later, and thats not a risk that you should take and its certainly even more tragic when we talk about the disability of our youth. Well, dr. Jane morgan, i heard an appeal that youre making to young people that i havent heard quite put that way. So hopefully they are listening. Dr. Jane morgan, good to see you, thank you so much. Thank you so much, fredricka.

Following Breaking News out of Austin Texas where police are on the scene of an active shooter, so far three people are dead at the scene according to Austin Travis County ems, r residents in the area are being told to shelter in place. As we learn more well bring it to you. Closing arguments begin tomorrow in the Derek Chauvin Murder trial. The outcome of this case in minneapolis may shape policing in america. Baltimores form deputy Police Commissioner Anthony Barksdale joining me. This is one of the most consequential trials of our lifetime . Is it not . Ive listened to your sentiments on our air and you have said unequivocally chauvins actions were not justified, you even seem exasperated sometimes at the defense, you know, should just plea. What is on your Mind Today on the eve of these Closing Arguments . I agree with you 100 . This is this trial is so important. Chauvin is not what the citizens need in policing, and its not what cops in Policing Need in their profession. So i really want to see a guilty verdict. I pray that theres a guilty verdict. I pray that the sentence is as strong as the law allows because chauvin in front of the world murdered George Floyd. This case, at the root, is accountability for police. In addition to the fact that George Floyds life was taken. Listen to Congresswoman Karen Bass this morning on cnn. We have got to come up with a solution. We just cant see this happen to the extent that it is happening now and so having legislation that will hold Police Officers accountability, so that they dont have immunely and feel that they can do what Derek Chauvin did and act with impunity, we need to be able to prosecute officers. So is an answer, is an issue federal legislation . I think that the federal government must jump in here. Weve been how . Pass legislation, perhaps ill throw one at you right now. That an officer that does not intervene when a fellow officer is using excessive force could be charged federally. How about that . I mean, locally, and in baltimore city, a lot of criminals didnt care about the city cops locking them up but they cared if the fbi came, if the dea or a atf came in. Bring the feds into this. If were talking about accountability take it to the highest level thats possible in the united states of america. What also makes this case very unique, the Derek Chauvin trial, is that you saw police testifying against police, taking The Stand so seldom do you see that and if the outcome is not commensurate with that emotional testimony, the evidence including video from so many angles that showed George Floyd dying under the knee of Derek Chauvin, is this a potential Turning Point for how police operate in this country . Absolutely. If, somehow, chauvin walks, it is a horrible message to not only every citizen in the united states but also whats the message to other officers that may actually think that chauvin was right in what he did . And i really hope that No One in the profession thinks that he was right with what he did. But to each his own with that type of thinking. But it is so important that we come out of this trial with the conviction. Anthony barksdale, i know well be talking to you throughout the week. Appreciate your time today on the eve of Closing Arguments. Thanks so much. All right, straight ahead in the newsroom, even as the u. S. Continues to Vaccinate Americans at a rapid Pace Vaccine Hesitancy among some groups, including evangelicals, is very high. Why . I would rather die free than i had live on my knees.

Welcome back, russian Opposition Critic Alexei navalnys supporters say he is near death inside a russian prisOn And theyre calling for protests in moscow. Navalny who is a critic of russian president Vladimir Putin went on a Hunger Strike more than two weeks ago demanding that Prison Officials provide him proper medical treatment. Today White House national Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told cnn that russia has been warned over navalnys treatment. We have communicated to the russian government that what happens to mr. Navalny in their custody is their responsibility and they will be held accountable by the international community. In terms of the specific measures that we would undertake, we are looking at a variety of different costs that we would impose and im not going to telegraph that publicly at this point but we have communicated that there will be consequences if mr. Navalny dies. Cnns Sam Kiley has more now from moscow. Reporter the followers of Navalny Have reached a point where theyre so fearful of their Leaders Death in a russian Penal Colony as a consequence of the poisoning he suffered back in august and a 19day Hunger Strike hes currently undergoing that they brought forward plans for mass demonstrations across russia against the Putin Regime ahead of actually reaching their target of having had 500,000 signatures on an online petition before triggering the demonstrations. They are now fearful that he could actually die following analysis by doctors who support him, saying that they fear that he could be in imminent danger of Renal Failure or of Heart Failure following the spike in the levels of potassium in his bloodstream. Moscow prosecutors have been trying to outlaw his designated as an extremist movement. Theyve more often been associated with violent islamic extremism and so designated it would make it impossible for his followers to campaign in the september elections. They are hoping to launch these mass demonstrations, details of which we are unable to broadcast at this stage because there is legislation in this country that means even the media circulating details of such demonstrations could be prosecuted for incitement. Sam caylee, cnn, moscow. Thanks so much, sam.

President biden is finally calling the situation at the border a crisis and explaining the increase in the Refugee Cap after some back and forth on friday where the administration first announced it would keep the cap at the low Level Set by former president donald trump. Biden announced the cap would be raised after all after a lot of criticism from within his own party. Cnns Arlette Saenz is at the White House with more on this. Arlette, what has the president said now . Well, fred, President Biden says he will increase the number of refugees allowed into the united states after he faced some immediate backlash from members of his own Party And Refugee advocate groups when he had said he would maintain those numbers at those record low Trump Era levels. The president spoke about this for the first time yesterday after playing a round of golf. And he talked to reporters. I want to read you exactly what he said. He said were going to increase the numbers. The problem was that the administration was working on the crisis that ended up upon the border with young people and we couldnt do two things at once. And now were going to increase the numbers. So the president there suggesting there was a connection between that initial refugee limit decisiOn And what has been happening at the border as the personnel have been working on both of those issues and that is something that the national Security Adviser Jake Sullivan spoke about this morning as he talked about the president raising that cap by may 15th. Take a listen. He will raise the cap. We havent determined the number. And what will drive our determination are the practical questions of, whether we can fix the absolutely shattered system that we were left with to process refugees, and then of course right. How we ensure that the same office, the office of Refugee Responsibility that takes care of those coming in as refugees, also takes care of Unaccompanied Minors at the border, how it can do both and i would just ask you to wait and see the president will lay out a new target. Now, back in february the administration said that they would raise that refugee limit to 62,500. But the administration is now saying that it is unlikely that they will raise it that high by february or by may. The Secretary Of State Tony Blinken said today that that would be very hard to do. They are blaming the situation, and system they have inherited from the Trump Administration and saying that that is what is preventing them from raising it any higher. What this entire episode also shows is how this administration is continuing to need the issues of immigration. The president said for the first time that the situation at the border was a crisis, referring to the unaccompanied children to the border and needing to be sheltered at Hhs Facilities in the united states. His administration has wanted to not use the word crisis, but calling it a challenge. These are two separate systems but it shows you just what a critical issue these issues of immigration are.
