he was resting, came in as a sub at the hour mark and then did what messi does. put new york's defense in a blender, on the give and go from ben cremaschi in just nine games for miami, 11 goals. that leads the team in scoring and, of course, he won the first ever trophy last week with the league's cup title. check out the reaction in times square in manhattan. simply awesome. messi and miami win 2-0. when he comes to atlanta in a couple of weeks, the tickets in the nosebleeds normally $19, are going for $160. >> of course they are. i was talking about this. when he coming? i want to be in the same stadium as lionel messi. thank you. ♪ ♪ good morning and welcome to "cnn this morning." it is sunday, august 27th. i'm rahel solomon in for victor blackwell. >> and i'm amara walker. top of the hour. 7:01. thank you for joining us. several developing stories this morning. at least three marines are dead after several others and several others hurt after their helicopter crashed during a training exercise overseas. we will have new details in a live report. targeted black people. that's what he said he wanted to kill. >> three people were shot and killed in a racist attack at a jacksonville dollar general store. police say that they are investigating this as a hate crime. what we are learning about how this all unfolded. and we are monitoring two storms in the atlantic that will impact the u.s. this week. allison chinchar is standing by with your forecast. and mortgage rates have surged to the highest level in 22 years. the impact that is having on homebuyers and whether we should all be concerned about more rate hikes in the future. that's ahead on "cnn this morning." we begin this morning in florida. three people are dead after a man walked into a dollar general store and began shooting. law enforcement say this shooting was racially motivated and took place in an historic black neighborhood. all of the victims were black. >> the shooter was a white man in his 20s and he left behind several manifestos in which he laid out his hatred of black people. he used a gun painted a swastikas. the mayor condemned the shooting and the hate that motivated it. >> i am heartbroken that we lost those pressures lives today. i am heartbroken that the same communities seem to get targeted over and over again. i am heartbroken that someone would be so sick as to want to target black people. >> fbi says it's now investigating the shooting as a hate crime. isabel rosales walks us through what happened here. >> good morning to you. let me bring you up to speed to what the sheriff is saying happened here. the shooter has not been identified. the medical examiner's office will have to be the one to do that. but he is a white male in his early 20s according to the shufr. the sheriff saying that he entered the dollar general wearing a tactical vest and a mask and he had on him an ar-15 style rifle and a glock handgun on that handgun the sheriff shared pictures, you can see swastikas on that gun. the sheriff says he killed three people, all three of those people were black. then he turned the gun on himself and shot himself dead. the shooter, the sheriff says, resided in clay county with his parents. back in 2016, there was a domestic call to that house, but no arrest was made there. and then in 2017, the shooter again, who has not been identified, was baker acted. now, the guns here did not belong to the shooter's parents. the sheriff is saying that. at 1:18 p.m. the shooter texted his father, told him to look on his commute and his father discovered three documents there. about 35 minutes later, the parents called the clay county sheriff's office but were told by the sheriff by that time that the shooter had already begun. the sheriff says that the shooter authored several, quote, several manifestos intend today ed to go to his parents -- it included the n-word multiple times. the sheriff saying this was racially motivated the shooter hated black people. here is what else the sheriff had to say. >> we know that he acted completely alone. you look at the images on the screen, you will see what he utilized. the weapons that the shooter used today are a glock and an ar-15 style rifle this is a dark day in jacksonville ace history. the hate that motivated the shooter's killing spree adds an additional layer of heartbreak. there is no place for hate in our communities. >> it's no surprise here that the fbi has -- is investigating this as a hate crime and has opened up a federal civil rights investigation into this shooting. i do also want to note that the shooting happened august 26th, five years, the anniversary five years to the day of a different mass shooting that happened in jacksonville at a venue that has since been demolished where a shooter entered a video game competition and gunned down two people, injuring two others. a traumatic situation for the jacksonville community that is only now beginning to get answers toz to how in the world this could happen. guys. >> isabel rosales, thank you. >> joined by cnn senior national security analyst and former assistant secretary to the department of homeland security. good morning. good to see you. i hate it's under these circumstances. given that the shooter is deceased and police say his motive was very clear, what types of things are police going to be looking for in terms of it this investigation? >> there is a couple of questions, obviously, how did he get the guns and did he get them lawfully. could someone be liable for that? ask he have help in organizing this attack. who was he in communication with in terms of planning this or the hatred and racism that animated this shooting and whether there aren't others who might have known or supported this effort. so that's where the federal civil rights investigation is going to go. this is racist, targeted attack against the black community. we know that. we don't have to sort of play around with words. it was just a racist killing. and, therefore, would be covered by federal civil rights laws that could include investigations of others who supported him. the sheriff i thought did a terrific job in explaining what was going on. the only sort of difference i have with him is when he says that the shooter acted alone. we know what that means, that the shooter was alone that day, but we have seen in a number of these cases, especially those related to nazism and white racism or white supremacy that there is an apparatus that is egging this on, supporting it, maybe physically helped him do this. >> it's interesting that you zeroed in on that. i wonder when he made that comment, do you feel like it was premature to say he acted alone. i wonder in terms of whether he was a part of hate groups online. i mean, there has to be a lot more to determine if he was truly alone. >> yes. that's exactly right. when the sheriff says he means that at rest of the community is not under imminent threat. the black community in jacksonville and the students at the historically black college are, you know, feel like prey. i mean, that's honestly what happened yesterday. he wanted to target any black in jacksonville. but we miss the story, we miss the narrative if we view each of these as sort of a lone wolf or lone actor. in jacksonville in particular, those of us who monitor extremism, have been surprised and there has been lots of documentation at the rise of nazism in that community. there has been instances where people leave swastikas, you know, over a freeway overhang and public areas. a recent report highlighting some of the activity in jacksonville. this is now become a center of nazism sort of and it may be a coincidence that the attack took there, but i am not going to begin with the coincidence. these are not isolated events. and i think the sheriff was talking to the threat to the community that day, but the investigation will look at sort of an overall apparatus supporting this. >> how about these manifestos and these letters that he left to his parents, to the media, to federal agents where he used racial slurs and also outlined his identifiology of hate? sounds like he wanted to be very clear about his motivations. is that typical with these types of hate crimes that the perpetrator wanted to be crystal clear why, in fact, they did what they did? >> yes. it's the performative nature of these killings now in particular within the white supremacy community and those who would use violence. it's not enough to simply go kill. now -- i don't know if it's likely a generational thing, he is a white male in his 20s. it's that performative nature. it's the wearing of the tactical gear. it's the manifestos and the -- and wanting his father to know of the manifestos before the killing. there is a time lag between when the father finds out and the killing starts. look who he addresses, the manifestos to. it's not to the world. it's to his parents. the other two audiences a manifesto to the media so we know exactly why and then to law enforcement. so those are ways in which this generation, this incite and racist hate has basically is putting on a performance about violence. they view it as performative. the audience is not simply the other neo-nazis. it's also, of course, the black community. >> this was a targeted attack. it was near, if not meant to be at a historically black college. those have historical meaning. yesterday was the anniversary of mlk's speech on the mall. so that is interpreted by the black community in the same way that he wanted his kin, his nazi kin, to interpret it. >> juliette, great to have your insights today. thank you. developing this morning, three u.s. marines were killed and 20 others injured after their aircraft crashed during military exercises in northern australia. now, australian police say the marines were flying in a u.s. osprey helicopter when it crashed on an island 50 miles north of the city of darwin. cnn's angus watson joining us live from sydney with more. what do we know about the circumstances of this crash? >> reporter: well, this tragic incident happened some ten hours ago. but information has been slow to come out. it's only just recently just in the last couple of hours that we've come to grips with the scale of this tragedy with the confirmation that three u.s. service personnel, three u.s. marines, were killed in what seems to be an accident, as these two ospreys involved in military training up there in darwin where there is a semi-permanent group of u.s. marines that rotate in every year. they have gone out to do this training and they have lost their lives. we don't know yet why this accident happened. we don't know yet what the problem was with the osprey. we do thknow, however, there ha been problems with the ospreys in the last. last year crashes in california and for way claimed the lives of a total of nine marines. so today in australia, australians have been watching this close. australian politicians keen to send thundershower condolences to the united states and the families of course of these three killed. take a listen to the prime minister now. >> our focus as a government and as the department of defense is very much on incident response and on making sure that every support and assistance is given at this difficult time. >> reporter: so of the 20 injured, five were hospitalized in a critical condition. one of the marines had to have surgery on sunday. back to you. >> tragic situation. angus watson, thank you for your report. joining me to talk more about this is retired air force colonel cedric leighton. look, this isn't the first time an osprey helicopter crashed and killed u.s. military personnel. angus mentioned it. last year five u.s. marines died after an osprey crashed in california and i counted from, you know, our reporting and news releases there has been about eight osprey crashes in the last decade or so. what do you make of the aircraft's history? is the osprey safe to fly? >> yeah, good morning. you know, it's one of those aircraft that has had a lot of trouble in its developmental phases. it had a lot of cost overruns. like you mentioned there, are about 51 or so people killed in osprey-related accidents since the start of the operational flying of this aircraft, which was in the late 1980s. this aircraft came out operation that -- the ill-fated operation in iran when we were trying to extricate the hostages in 1980. so what they needed was an air aircraft that could do both helicopter type takeoffs, vertical takeoffs and landings, as well as short takeoffs and landings, and they developed the osprey as a result of that. but because it's got this very unique tiltrotor capability, there are some issues mechanically as well as operationally with the aircraft. the aircraft is perceived to be safe to fly. however, there have been those issues like you and angus have mentioned. >> do you know if there are efforts being made now to make sure that all these ospreys, you know, are mechanically sound? >> yeah. normally, what will happen in a case like this is they will have an operational scan-down. as far as i know, the marine corps hasn't announced that yet. but what often happens is they will actually ground the fleet of aircraft. they will assess what happened. part of that, of course, the accident investigation. the other part is going to be, you know, what kinds of conditions were there. was there a weather issue? like was probably the case in norway. in this particular situation we don't know if weather or anything else was an issue or if it was simply a mechanical failure. >> officials say that the osprey had been transporting troops as part of a joint military exercise. i know, colonel, you have been on training exercises with the australians. can you tell us more about what these routine training exercises look like? >> yeah. normally, amara, what they end up being is a combination of forces. the one that i was involved in, involved not only the air force and the navy, but marines, army personnel. both from the united states and from the australian armed forces. in this particular case, this seems to be an exercise that was associated with the u.s. marine corps, the australian army and in the past the same exercise had fill a pin and malaysian troops associated with it as well. they try to exercise interoperability, try to make sure that everything from the communication systems to the operational employment of the forces, that that works together. there is a lot of coordination that goes along with these exercises. the australians are great partners. those exercises are invaluable in providing more security in the pacific region and allows that interoperability to work together quite well. >> appreciate you joining us. thank you very much. and turning to weather. we are tracking two storms in the atlantic. both of them will impact the u.s. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is tracking it all from the weather center. allison, who should be watching this closely? >> we have got a couple of different areas. we have two separate storms. let's begin with tropical depression 10. sustained winds 35 miles per hour. it's really not moving all that much as it sits just off the yucatan peninsula. it's really not forecast to move all that much in the next 24 hours. you will notice 1:00 a.m. monday looks close to the spot it's already in right now. but once we get to monday morning, that's what we start to see to take off. it's going to move to extremely warm ocean temperatures in the gulf of mexico and that's going to allow the storm to intensify to at least a category 1 storm before crossing into florida and then up into the carolinas as we get through the middle portion of the upcoming week. rainfall is likely the biggest concern with this storm, especially most widespread concern. you are talking areas from tallahassee to up to the outer banks widespread 4 to 6 inches of rain. but there will be spots that pick up 8, 10, as much as a foot of rain before that system finally pushes out of the area. the other storm that we are also keeping an eye on hurricane franklin currently east of the bahamas. now, this one is getting stronger, winds up to 90 miles per hour sustained gusting to 115. this one is moving to the northwest at just about 8 miles per hour. now, with this particular storm we actually anticipate it getting to a major hurricane likely in the next 24 hours or so as it continues to make its way to the north and west. then we are going to see that drastic shift off to the north and east as it heads back towards bermuda. keep in mind, however, in the proximity that it's going to have, it's likely going to be close youenough to the u.s. coastline to kick up high surf. likely end up producing high, dangerous rip currents not only for u.s., but also for bermuda and then it will weaken as it hits colder waters out in the open atlantic. numerous different systems we are keeping an eye on. we have potential systems in the atlantic, but the two main concerns for the u.s. right now are tropical depression 10, which if it gets named, the next name on the list is idalia. >> thank you. and coming up for us and still ahead this morning, former president trump and allies' legal battles continue on monday as former chief of staff mark meadows will ask a federal judge to move his case to federal court. in washington, a judge will hold a hearing to set a trial date for the january 6th case. plus, president biden is set to host the president of costa rica this week at a critical time when the region is grappling with record number of migrants looking to reach the u.s. a lot more to discuss on the other side of this break. get one free. e app, for freeee. that's what i'm talking about. order in the subway app today. how can you sleep on such a firm setting?

(mooo) wow, smart cow! welcome back. president biden will host the costa rican president rodrigo chaves robles at the white house this week. >> it comes at a time when countries face record numbers of migrants traversing the region to reach the united states. priscilla alvarez is live in washington this morning. what are the two leaders planning to discuss during the visit? >> reporter: well, migration is going to be at the top of the agenda. as you mentioned, they are facing record numbers of people traversing through south america and central america, particularly going through that treacherous jungle known as the derien gap, which connects panama and colombia. this is important because they are already seeing record numbers surpassing last year when we were talking about those numbers. and costa rica neighbors panama. a lot of these people, some seeing costa rica as a destination, others a way to pass through on their way to the united states. this is going to be a topic of discussion between president biden and the costa rican president. the u.s. has historically relied on costa rica to help with migration as well as other issues. they are a crucial partner in the region. this is going to be a robust discussion between the two countries as they try to stem the flow of migration and try to find other legal pathways to offer to those people who are coming through because this is an issue that remains a political vulnerability for president biden and the people who traverse the central america and south america will be at the u.s. southern border. if there are not other avenues available to them, that is the thinking of the senior administration officials here at the white house. but in addition to migration, the white house press secretary said they will discuss the economy, democratic values and regional security challenges. so my dprags expected to be a priority in their discussions. of course, they will touch on a range of other issues that affect migration and speak to just how key this partner is to the united states. >> sticking with migrant for a minute, the white house defending its response to what's been an influx of asylum seekers following criticism from new york's governor. what additional resources is new york wanting the biden administration to allocate? >> reporter: they are continuing to provide federal funding to new york city and they expect that over $100 million is going to become available in the coming weeks to that city and that they are trying to provide other officials to be on the ground and assist them. without congressional action, there is only so much they can do. this an ongoing saga with new york pressuring the administration to do more, but officials saying there is only so much they can do without congress. >> priscilla alvarez, appreciate your reporting there. thank you. >> and this will be a busy week for former president donald trump and his co-defendants. tomorrow in atlanta former trump chief of staff mark meadows will argue that his trial should be transferred from state to federal court. t other defendants have made similar requests before the court and the judge overseeing the federal election subversion case in washington will hear arguments regarding when to schedule that trial. a lot is going on. joining me is former federal prosecutor and defense attorney shan wu. so by meadows trying to get his case moved to federal court, he is hoping to get federal immunity, right? so if he succeeds to get his case tried in federal court, what would his attorneys have to prove to get the charges dropped? >> so, it's important for the viewers to understand that what he is trying to do now, the removal, is not the defense. for the removal, he is trying to say that because he was a federal official, which he was, and because he claims he was acting in that federal capacity, therefore, under the statute, he needs to be tried in federal court rather than the state court. so the bar for this part of is relatively low, a preponderance standard. he has to demonstrate he has a colorable federal defense. the federal defense is what you were saying. he would say since he was acting as chief of staff, supposedly everything he did was part of his job description and, therefore, he has the federal immunity. the first issue is whether he can get to federal court. if he succeeds in getting to federal court were he might be able to mount that defense. he faces the same charges, same prosecutor, just in federal court. >> i follow you. it might be difficult if you haven't been following us day, day out. start with what happens then tomorrow, what you expect when the judge hears meadows' removal request, as it's called? >> yeah, the judge doing a substantive hearing. there is actually witnessing being called. raffensperger, the georgia secretary of state, they are being called. what i would expect is the reason that the judge wants live testimony versus just deciding from the papers is the judge is trying to weigh whether meadows really does have a colorable federal defense, meaning do these circumstances, after she hears from live witnesses, indicate that he was acting within the scope of his duties as white house chief of staff. i think he has an uphill battle on the low standard of whether it's a colorable defense, like a pass the smell test, because whatever the job description is for chief of staff, it does not include trying to overturn a lawful election, trying to pressure georgia state officials. so i think there is going to be skepticism there, and that's why the judge wants to hear from live testimony. >> and you say that state of mind, meadows' state of mind will be key? >> yes. it will be. we know that one of those meetings that he attended with the georgia officials there, they haven't argued that he was not aware of the plan. that's sort of a notably missing issue. if he had that meeting knowing that trump and other folks wanted to overturn out election, then there is a real question as to why are you meeting with these folks. i mean, all kidding aside, that's not within the job description of the chief of staff because the president, the executive branch doesn't have anything to do when overseeing elections. so if he knew at that point that was the intent of what they were trying to do, that really cast a lot of doubt on whether that could have been a valid exercise of his authority. >> and just quickly, do you expect trump to follow suit and try to move his case to the federal court system? >> oh, yes. definitely. i think his lawyers are testing the water right now, want to see how this flies. of course, it drags things out more by letting this one get argued, litigated, and then they do theirs. >> got it. all right. wait and see. shan wu, thank you. all right. still to come for us, more bad news nfor borrowers. mortgage rates reached the highest level in 22 years and the federal reserve hinted that additional hikes are on the table. we will discuss comingng up. i'l. with family and friends. and checking voicemail... as my activitieses permit. i'll connect with you... after reconnecting with me. ♪ get 1.9% apr for 36 months plus $1,500 purchase allowance on a 2024 xt5 and xt6 when you finance through cadillac financial. ♪ (♪) rsv can be a dangerous virus...

what are they saying? >> reporter: basically, what we discovered on friday this investigative committee had got its hands on the black box, the bodies, the remains of those deceased, and what we knew from authorities on wednesday, just after the crash, is that it was believed that yevgeny prigozhin, ten victims in all, had died in the plane accident. what we just heard from the investigative committee is that all ten victims have now been confirmed, their identities have been confirmed. they correspond to those on the flight passenger list we heard of on wednesday, which means they confirmed that yevgeny prigozhin, but also so many of his very close lieutenants at the helm of wagner have been confirmed dead thanks to -- who managed the ministry operations and others who are at the very top of the group. the speculation is that russian authorities may have been involved in this and have been the source of speculation for many days because the crash came two months after yevgeny prigozhin's failed march on moscow. the kremlin, we heard from dmitry peskov saying foul play involved. but the confirmation that yevgeny prigozhin has died, of course, questions about what happens to wagner next. we heard from vladimir putin just the other day speaking about yevgeny prigozhin's death. this now the confirmation that he has died as well as to many those who ran wagner with him. >> all right. melissa bell, appreciate your reporting. let's bring back retired air force colonel cedric leighton. obviously, this is no surprise, right, that prigozhin was among the remains of all ten passengers onboard this doomed flight. no surprise as well that the kremlin continues to deny that it was behind this, even though, you know, western leaders believe so. what is your reaction to this? do you think we will ever know the cause of this crash? >> yeah, amara, this is very interesting development that it happened so quickly in terms of their ability to identify the body, their ability to not only assess the remains of prigozhin, but also the other nine victims onboard the aircraft. so, in some ways, i think what they are trying to do, from the kremlin's point of view, is wrap things up as quickly as possible, put a bit of closure to this situation. they hinted that prigozhin had died in put's remarks and dmitry peskov's remarks. they were clear that they were convinced that prigozhin was onboard this aircraft, but they are trying to, in essence, put this behind them. they did that they need odd do from the kremlin's standpoint and they want to move forward and putin, think, hopes to consolidate power as a result of this. you know, move forward from a position of strength, hopefully, from his standpoint. >> colonel, speak to me a bit more the comments from putin where he spoke about yevgeny prigozhin in the past tense, seemed to be clear at least from his comments that he had perished, passed. we didn't hear any question about who else might be to blame. he didn't mention ukraine. he didn't mention the west in this instance. talk to me about the messaging perhaps or the reading between the lines in terms of what we have heard from the kremlin since this plane crash. >> yeah, rahel, this is very interesting as well because often what the russians will do is, in spite of any evidence to the contrary, they will blame the west or they will blame ukraine for acts like this. but when putin spoke, it was pretty clear that he wasn't going in that direction. what he wanted to do was just kind of state the facts as he had them at that moment and make it appear as if, you know, this was kind of in the course of everyday business. and from this kind of analytical standpoint, you are looking at a way in which putin is consolidating the information before he delivers it to the public, and as he delivers it to the public he is making it pretty clear that he is in charge of this situation, and that's how he is looking at it. >> fascinating developments. appreciate you being with us today. again, russia's investigative committee confirming that yevgeny prigozhin was in fact on that plane and has passed away. thank you. we'll be right back. i can't! i'm just telling everyone!...hey! buy one pair, get one free for back to school. visionworks. see the differencece. right now get a free footlong at subwbway. like the subway series menu. buy one footlong in the app, get one free. for freeee. that's what i'm taing about. order in the subway app today. ♪ ♪ ♪ life after student debt is within reach. refi at sofi.com you could save thousands and get to your goals faster. sofi. get your money right.

how high? >> well, you know, the american dream of own shich, the federal reserve, if they continue to raise interest rates, is going to kill that dream. very unfortunate. my forecast for potential 8% is based on what the fed may be doing. however, if the fed suddenly says inflation is trending down, things are beginning to come down, there is no need to raise interest rates, i think that the mortgage rate could see lower levels even closer to 6% by spring of next year. so it all depends on the fed. right now, the renters or first-time buyers extremely frustrated. >> yeah. tlnd there is a big difference between 6% and 8%. you know, a few short years ago rates were closer to 3%. i often hear and sometimes often think, i wish we were back at those days. those were historic lows. do you think we ever get to those 3% levels again, or is that sort of, you know, a thing of the past? >> those were exceptionally special bonus rates due to the fed essentially going all in at that time of the pandemic. so people should not anticipate that 3% or 4% will be anytime new normal. in fact, i don't think it will return to that level for the remainder of my lifetime. i think people should look possibly at 6% as a good rate. remember, let's back up to history. most people back in the '80s and '90s purchased their homes at double-digit mortgage rates. if you were to ask, was that a good deal? are you happy that you made that decision? and nearly every homebuyer at that time would say, yes, that was a tremendous decision because i feel the housing prices rose over time and, furthermore, great thing about america, one can always refinance the mortgage rate when the mortgage rates goes down. >> that's a great point. the difference i will say, i will push back a bit in terms of interest rates, is now affordability is a real issue. part of that is not just the interest rates, but the cost of a home, which has gone up. the problem there is the lack of supply, that because there isn't a lot of supply, and demand is high, there is that imbalance and that keeps sort of prices elevated. when do you see supply improving? because that would really help. >> yeah, you know, you make a very good point because home prices have outpaced people's income growth almost by the ratio of two to one over the past 20 years. so looking at long-term spend, home prices have become much more unaffordable in relation to people's income growth, and the principal reason is lack of supply. it's all about economics, supply and demand, lack of supply pushes up the prices. so we have to address more supply. we have to think also about some creative ways to bring more supply. first, i'm glad that home bullers are responding to the profit motives and building more homes. that's a good thing. but can we dedicate some of the infrastructure spending bill to dedicate for more affordable home building or moderately priced home building? many of the builders are shying away from that because the numbers don't make sense. another possibility is, can we provide tax incentive for mom and pop investors who may want to release one or two of their properties if it is sold to a first-time buyer. that would be a great incentive to bring something that congress should be discussing and hopefully wee we get a boost of inventory so access to the american dream is alive for many young americans. >> no, very interesting strategies. lawrence, i know you're not a financial adviser. but based on your experience as an economist with the national association of realtors, for people watching this at home feeling priced out of the market, what is your advice? >> well, you know, one has to first never go beyond their budget. so whatever budget they have set, don't go beyond that. other wise one is asking tfor trouble. so pain the first home is not the dream home. they have to put some efforts, a starter and put in remodeling efforts for it, so go for a affordable price. second, maybe they offer better accountability, especially among officer workers who do not have to commute every single day. consider the next county consideration, and third, be very flexible given the competitive nature. multiple offers are still happening so as one is discussing tol sellers, once yo sell your home, you may be having trouble and so be considerate in the closing rate. >> thank you, the chief economist for the national association of realtors and we'll be right back.
