Going to tell you what he said in his message. He wrote it to himself and put it out before the game, before he accomplished the feat. Babe ruth. Yeah. If you dont believe in yourself, who is going to believe in you. But first, we want to get to the latest on that deadly shooting at a kentucky high school. Two students killed. 18 injured. At least three are in Critical Condition. A 15yearold student is in custody this morning and Steve Osunsami is on the scene for us there in benton, kentucky, where a community are all searching for answers this morning. Steve, good morning. Reporter good morning to you, robin. Police arent saying much at this point about this accused shooter but tell us the discussion is on about whether he will be charged as a juvenile or an adult. At vigils overnight, students cried and prayed for the friends who are hurt and the two they lost. There will be no school here today. This is a crime scene this morning. If you could respond to Marshall County high school. Marshall county high school. Active shooter. Four people down. One unresponsive. The shooters still on site. Reporter there were moore than 100 teenagers waiting in a common area eating breakfast and chatting with friends when police say a 15yearold student with a handgun started shooting. Kids started running, some with gunshot wounds. I took out my headphones and turned around and everyone was broken up. I saw the flashes from the gunshots and by that time i was just i was just running. Reporter 15yearold bailey holt died at the scene. The First Responder who found her thought she was his daughter. One of our first troopers to arrive on the scene saw the young lady that died there on the scene and thought it was his daughter because she had been dropped off at the school this morning as well, same clothing description, same description, and he had to go over to convince himself that was not his daughter. Reporter the most seriously hurt were airlifted to a hospital. In nashville. 15yearold preston cope was pronounced dead at the hospital. They had a tube already in there helping them breathe. They were awake but sedated and so when this happens to you, everything shuts down and its going to take a long time to heal both physically and mentally from these kind of issues for these kids. Reporter Police Arrested a 15yearold now charged with murder and attempted murder. Investigators have visited his home and talked with his family but arent sharing what they think led up to the shooting. Just to give you an idea of how chaotic this was. There are grief counselors for these students today and the high school is closed dmrp robin, well talk to one of those students. Steve, thank you very much. Joining us now one who survived that scooting is Bryson Conkwright and, bryson, thanks for being with us. I know a bullet grazed your hand. Bryson, how are you doing this morning . I mean, its im doing a lot better than i was yesterday which yesterday was a lot more shocking than it was today, but by now everybody has had a little more time to process but, we still will never have the answers to this and its hard. Yes, can only, only imagine. Please tell us what you saw, what happened when you knew something was going wrong. Well, i was i was kind of standing to the group. I was a little bit to the side. I was basically in the group, and like i see this kid walk up. I didnt pay that much attention and i turned back and he draws a gun out from his side and im like, i dont i didnt know what to do. I really didnt know what to think at all and i saw him draw out this gun and he just points it and by that time, i still havent processed about the time he pulled the trigger it hit me that this kids hes shooting at us. Hes shooting at us and i was just sitting there in shock and im watching my friends and people that ive known forever just some people just dropped and it was unbelievable. There was it was chaos. Everybody was screaming. Everybody was running out. It was crazy. Well, of course, we extend our condolences to the families, those who lost their lives, those who are injured and know some are in Critical Condition and, as you said, it is a small community, tight knit. What can you tell us about those that were injured and lost their lives yesterday . Ill tell you, my honest opinion on it is everybody in that group, they literally wouldnt hurt a fly. The ones that lost their lives, they were they were probably the nicest people i ever met and they never had anything negative to say. They always had a smile on their face and gage, the one that got injured pretty bad, he is a good buddy of mine. Man, he was always so hyped up and happy. You can see him, he was always his happy self and in a split second it all changed. It was crazy. Bryson, were not revealing the name of the shooter right now and we dont know the motive and dont want to talk about that. Tell us about your school. Tell us about your community. Give us a sense of what its like there. Well, were very i dont know, like this is a great school. Like, i would never expect anything to happen. We have a great tech center. Everybody, Everybody Loves each other here and just to see this just to see Something Like this happen, its going to hit the history books and it will never be forgotten and its unreal. Never in a million years i expect this to happen in Marshall County. Well, bryson, thank you and were thinking of you and everyone there. Youre in our prayers, and i know that you all are getting the help you need to be able to process Something Like this but thank you very much, bryson. Take care. I appreciate it. All right. George. Okay, robin, thanks. Were going to switch gears and get the latest on the russia investigation and here with jon karl, our chief legal analyst dan abrams, Meghan Mccain from the view, and learned rick gates has now hired a new attorney to hold discussions with muellers team. This attorney has a track record of negotiating plea agreements. This is a potentially big deal, george, because rick gates was a very key player on the Trump Campaign, of course, very close to Paul Manafort but he stayed at the campaign after manafort left, close to jared kushner, close to tom barrick, another one of the president s key advisers. If he goes states witness that could be a game changer. Mueller moving step by step. Yeah, and this is something i think many have suspected because theres a bit of a difference in the way federal prosecutors have been dealing with manafort and gates leading many to suspect that there were ongoing consideration, possibly suggests going on with gates that have not been going on with manafort. Weve also learned, jon, that mueller has interviewed the attorney general, Jeff Sessions, and several other cabinet member, the director of the cia and national intelligence, former director of the National Security agency, moving closer and closer to the president. And we also know muellers team has made it clear they want to talk to the president directly about the firings of james comey and Michael Flynn and the key fact is he is now interviewed, we know, key members of the trump inner circle in his cabinet. After news broke that muellers investigation has reached into the president s cabinet, the president said he isnt worried in the least. Mr. President , are you concerned about what the attorney general told the special counsel . No, im not at all concerned. Not at all. Reporter attorney general sessions was questioned by the special counsels team for hours. Nearly a year after he told lawmakers at his confirmation hearing that he had no contact with the russians when he was Senior Adviser to the Trump Campaign. And i didnt have did not have communications with the russians. Reporter that turned out to be untrue. He had met with the Russian Ambassador to the u. S. After that became public, sessions citing his senior role in the Trump Campaign announced that he would not be overseeing the russia investigation. Therefore, i have recused myself. Reporter sources familiar with sessions appearance before the special counsel tell abc news that sessions was questioned about his conversations with the ambassador and about the firing of former fbi director james comey. Comey himself has been interviewed by the special counsels team. Comeys interview focused on the memos he wrote after he said the president asked him to take a pledge of loyalty. Last june, the president said he was more than willing to discuss that meeting with the special counsel himself. So, if Robert Mueller wanted to speak with you about that i would be glad to tell him exactly what i just told you, jon. Reporter its unclear whether the president s offer which he said 100 hed be willing to do that still stands. People close to the president have urged him to fight the special counsels request for a sworn interview. Meanwhile, weve learned last year the president lashed out at deputy fbi director Andrew Mccabe demanding to know, george, who he voted for, mccabe said that he actually didnt vote in the president ial elections. The questions he reportedly asked james comey about whether hed be loyal. Let me start with dan again. Dan, we now see the interviews that sessions i mean that Robert Mueller has conducted so far. The whole question of the interview with the president now on the table and you still see some on the president s team according to this reporting to thinking about negotiating written questions. Thats not going to fly with mueller. No, and so what the president would like is probably written only or no questions at all but his team would certainly say, look, send us your questions. Well be happy to answer them in writing and therefore the lawyers can edit them, et cetera. What muellers team wants is a full, no limits, no holds barred interview where they can talk about anything they want. The question is going to be, can they work out something in between . Are they going to be able to work out something where they can ask him certain things and theyll answer other questions in writing. I dont think muellers team is going to go for that and thats where you have the potential showdown. Thats where you have if they cant reach a deal you have the possibility that the president gets subpoenaed to testify in front of a grand jury and his response may be, im just not coming. Im not going to go to the grand jury. You dont have that power to do that and then you have a really interesting legal showdown. Of course, then precedents of president clinton going to the grand jury 20 years ago. Meghan, you see President Trump and his allies on capitol hill putting more pressure on the fbi and mueller. Yeah, i think we need to be careful going into midterm elections with the implications that possibly republicans think anything that happens in this investigation is okay. Whats interesting to me is Sarah Huckabee sanders coming out yesterday saying americans dont care. This is a nothing burger. The problem is every time were told this is a nothing burger another tentacle on this octopus comes out and the average american, even the trumpiest trump voter wants to know what happened in this investigation, and i think we have to be as clear and transparent as possible and i think anyone taking cover or giving cover to the president if he did, in fact, have the kind of interactions with russia and ambassador kislyak that are being propositioned could be possibly be incredible lethal if you talk about prime Time Television with President Trump testifying in front of congress, you want to talk about getting off message and getting off policywise where we need to be will be lethal. The one thing we know for sure is that we dont know everything that mueller knows. True in that is certain, no question about that. Much more to come. Over to michael. Thank you, george. Now to those flooding fears in the northeast. Ice jams are forming in the Connecticut River clogging that river up. You can see them forming in this image from space. Abcs gio benitez is in east haddam, connecticut, where theyre facing flooding warning. Whats going on . Reporter hey, michael. Good morning to you. Listen, this is just not what were used to seeing in connecticut. Okay, in fact, lifelong residents say theyve never seen anything like this. I want you to look right now at our live drone cam because what i want you to see, this just goes on for miles and miles. It just goes on for six miles, in fact, all the way into another town. Thats just how far it guess and i just want to take that drone up a little bit so you can see how far this goes down. This is the Connecticut River and right now it just looks much more like the arctic. I want you to take a look at this video right now because heres whats such a danger. These ice jams are just so intense that the water actually started flowing backwards at one point in some parts flooding some areas on the way back and i want you to take a look at another piece of video, okay. Because here in connecticut, the coast guard has been sending out ice cutters, but you can just see the trouble theyve had here, in fact, some of the cutters have actually gotten stuck so now were seeing cutters coming in from places like new york, theyre coming in from other states just to help out so really, michael, just no telling how long its going to take to fix this problem. Some incredible video from that drone, gio. And temperatures were a little warmer yesterday so did that help out at all . Reporter it helped a little bit, but the problem here is that starting right now, the temperatures are going to start dropping. In fact, its going to be below freezing very, very soon and people are really worried about a refreeze. Thank you very much, gio. Boy i cant believe all my years living in connecticut never have seen anything like that. Now to a dramatic day in court. Larry nassar convicted of Sexual Assault is set to be sentenced as a new investigation gets under way. Abcs linsey davis is outside the courthouse in lansing, michigan. Linsey, we have seen such emotional testimony from the victims. Reporter good morning to you, robin. Really heartwrenching testimony over the past week. More than 150 women and girls lashing out, not only on larry nassr but the who they say protected and enabled him and while many are awaiting todays sentencing, the judge has already made it very clear that freedom will never be an option for larry nassar. The former doctor for usa gymnastics and Michigan State university pled guilty to multiple sex crimes and now the ncaa announced they will begin an investigation of msu for potential rule violations related to Sexual Assaults of student athletes spanning two decades. Nassar has already been sentenced to 60 years for child pornography. Today he faces an additional 40 to 125 years behind bars, robin. All right, linsey, thank you very much. As you said, he will not know freedom ever again. Thank you. And were going to switch gears to the major milestone for king james. Yes, lebron james celebrating another crowning achievement, hitting the 30,000 points mark last night with that basket you saw right there. Got there really fast, younger player to ever do it and the seventh to do it as well joining that exclusive club that includes kobe bryant, Kareem Abduljabbar but, james, hes the first one to actually congratulate himself. Why not. He posted this picture of himself back in school, high school and posted it on instagram before the game even started and with the post he said, you know what, want to be one of the first to congratulate you on this achievement, accomplishment, tonight, that youll reach paraphrased. Says there are only six seats at the table. Another will be pulled up for you. You should be proud of yourself and went on to thank everybody that he wont get a chance to thank later. But i got to say, he has confidence in himself to post that post before he actually went out and scored the posts he needed. I loved that photo from akron, ohio. He was a star then. Over to ginger. Lets look at the dozens of schools closed.
