fire on an unsuspecting group of shoppers. nbc's joe fryer has been the very latest. joe, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. a day after the deadly terror attack in new york city, the denver area community is on edge this morning with an armed suspect accused of killing three people on the run. this morning, police have identified scott ostrom as the man who walked into a walmart wednesday and opened fire killing three people. authorities say the 47-year-old gunman wearing black jacket, blue jeans and maroon shirt carried a handgun into the south entrance of the store in the denver suburb and began shooting randomly at customers. he is last seen driving a red 2017 mitsubishi with a colorado license plate. >> we don't know exactly what the motive of the person was. but it was certainly a terrible act. >> authorities say two men were killed at the store and a woman who was take on the a nearby hospital later died of her injuries. >> i saw one guy laying on the ground and people were helping him, you know, sit up or lay down. it was pretty dramatic looking at that. >> reporter: as the shots rang out, customers started running fraktically for their lives. >> my first reaction was to make sure that i knew where an exit was and i could get out fast enough and make sure my brother was okay. >> reporter: the incident coming just one day after the deadly terror attack in new york city. >> i was -- scared. everything that's going on in the world and everything, it's just kind of freaking me out. >> reporter: as the search for the gunman intensifies, police issued a homicide warrant for his arrest. as of right now, no indications this is an act of terrorism. savannah and matt? >> joe fryer with ws. thank you. also this morning, we have new information on the tragic terror attack here in new york city. the suspect accused of plowing a truck into people on a bike lane in lower manhattan made his first court appearance late last night. according to the criminal complaint, sayfullo saipov told investigators he felt good about the attack and picked halloween, to cause maximum damage, assuming there would be more people on the streets. the fbi is questioning a second man who has been in contact with the suspect in recent weeks. we have complete coverage. we're going to talk about the investigation with nypd commissioner james o'neill in a moment, but let's begin with nbc's gadi schwartz. what can you tell us? >> reporter: investigators learning how much planning went into this attack. sayfullo saipov had rented this truck before. so he could practice turns. he specifically chose this location, scouting it out before and that there were knives in the truck that he was unable to reach after the crash. most disturbing of all, he may have been boasting while eight families were in mourning. this morning, disturbing new details about sayfullo saipov, the suspected terrorist, appearing in court, handcuffed and shackled in a wheelchair. the 29-year-old facing charges including support for terrorism. >> saipoc committed this attack in support of isis. >> reporter: according to a criminal complaint, saipov said the fbi his goal was to run over people along new york city's busy west side highway then head over to the brooklyn bridge to find more victims. choosing halloween to kill as many people as he could. telling investigators he felt good about what he'd done. >> oh my god! >> reporter: this new video shows what happened after he rammed the truck into a school bus, trapping special needs children inside. >> he allegedly admitted he was inspired to commit the attack by the isis videos he watched and had been planning this attack for two months. >> reporter: investigators say his two cell phones were filled with violent isis propaganda videos, including beheadings, and he allegedly wanted to drape isis flags at the front and back of the truck during the attack, but according to the fbi, decided against it because he didn't want to draw attention to himself. the complaint also says he even requested to display an isis flag in his hospital room. >> i just want to thank my family and friends. >> nypd officer ryan nash who ended the attack by shooting saipov speaking for the first time. >> i feel we were doing our job, like thousands of officers do every day, i understand the importance of yesterday's events and the role we played and i'm grateful for the recognition. >> reporter: throughout new york city overnight, tributes poured in for the victims. now, we're also learning more about the eight people who lost their lives. including two americans. 23-year-old nicholas cleves and 32-year-old darren drake, speaking with wnbc, drake's father, devastated. >> he had everything. everything. >> reporter: also killed in tuesday's tragedy, five friends visiting from argentina, who traveled to new york to celebrate their 30th high school reunion. this video shows the men riding bikes along the path just minutes before the attack. 31-year-old belgium mother of two struck down during a visit to new york with her mother and sisters. her husband telling a belgium newspaper the loss is unbearable. last night, the fbi was looking for a man from uzbekistan, an associate of saipov. they found him and are interviewing him but are still asking the public for any information they may have. matt and savannah, back to you. >> thank you very much. we're joined by the commissioner of the new york city police department. james o'neill. commission e good morning. we really appreciate you taking time and being here. >> thanks for coming in. >> let's start right there, as i understand it, your officers are questioning this uzbek man. there's also been reporting that perhaps the suspect had been taking drives in a truck similar to the one used with other people. where's the thinking right now in terms of whether he acted alone, who else you want to talk to? >> we're still not two days into the investigation, so this is all part of the investigation as we go forward here. we're at the joint terrorist task force people, and they do a terrific job of talking to this man we got last night, so we'll see. as we go down the road if he acted alone or if he had some help. >> still an open question. >> yeah, it is. this is less than two days. this is an ongoing investigation. >> his wife cooperating? what have you learned from her? >> i don't want to go into what she's talking about. you know, we -- that's part of -- unfortunately when events like this happen, this is what we do. we talk to families. we talk to acquaintances. we go down that road as far as possible to make sure we see who was involved. >> it's alarming when we hear -- have you, by the way, been present during any of the questioning of the suspect in the hospital? >> no, no. that's -- the joint -- the people in the joint terrorist task force, the fbi, our nypd detectives are experts at this. >> when you hear that this guy thought about putting the isis flag on the front and back of this truck so that he could advertise as he was committing this horrible act and that he perhaps even wanted to hang an isis flag in his hospital room to show how proud he was of what he's done, how do you defend people against a warped mindset like that? >> everybody has to understand, this is who we're dealing with. law enforcement does a terrific job. nypd officers every day, the four cops in the 1st precinct, but this is going to take all 8.5 million people in new york city to pay attention to what's going on around them. maybe take off your headphones. maybe stop looking at your phone. see what's going on around you. if you see something that makes you uncomfortable, something that doesn't look right, not just that you should call, i think you have an obligation to call. give us the opportunity to investigate the threat. that's how we're going to move forward and keep this city safe. >> there's been reporting that he was remorseless, smug, wanted to hang this isis flag. is that true? >> i wasn't in the room for these discussions. if it is true, again, this just shows everybody in new york and everybody in this country who we're dealing with here. >> let me ask you also, it's been reported that there were some 4,000 isis-related images found on his phone. about 90 isis-related propaganda videos. it is hard to track down a lone wolf, but should that level of interest in isis online have triggered some alert? is there any system in place that would have worked there? >> that's part of what we're going to look at here. every time there is an incident, we have to learn from it. we have to evolve and see what we can do better. so i think it's too early to say that. >> commissioner, finally, i have to ask you, the president has been tweeting about this. one thing he said is he believes and hopes the suspect will get the death penalty. he also called our justice system a joke and a laughing stock. how does that sit with you? >> i get to work with our justice system everyday. in new york it's not a joke. look where we are as a city. homicides and shootings are down. overall crime is down. it doesn't happen by accident. a lot of hard work by everybody involved in the criminal justice system. >> officer ryan nash who stopped the attack by shooting the terror suspect, does he have any idea how big he came up in that moment? >> i think he's starting to realize it. i spoke to him on the day of the incident. him and his partner and officer wilson and mcginn. they were at a high school at an unrelated call. someone said there was a school bus accident outside. they had no idea what they were about to face. all four of them did a terrific job. as the men and women of the nypd do each and every day. >> saved a lot of people, i think. >> sure did. >> commissioner, thank you very much for your time, sir. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. this is the first major isis-inspired attack in the u.s. since president trump took office. as we just mentioned, he's using it to blast the justice system and double down on his call for stricter immigration laws. nbc white house correspondent kristen welker has more on that part of the story. kristen, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning to you. this morning, president trump is seizing on the new york attack to talk tough on two of his key issues -- immigration and terror. mr. trump is calling for the death penalty, as you were discussing, and even saying he's considering sending the suspect to guantanamo bay. but he's also getting some criticism with many democrats accusing him of politicizing a moment that should be unifying. this morning, with sayfullo saipov facing new charges, president trump vowing swift action. >> that was a horrible event. we also have to come up with punishment that's far quicker and far greater. because what we have right now is a joke and it's a laughingstock. >> reporter: the white house calling saipov an enemy combatant. over night in a tweet, mr. trump saying the terror suspect should get the death penalty. earlier, referring to him as this animal. saying he is open to sending him to the military prison as guantanamo bay. >> send him to gitmo. i would certainly consider that. >> reporter: mr. trump pushing congress to dismantle the visa lottery program, which allowed the suspect into the united states from uzbekistan in 2010. >> sounds nice. it is not nice. it is not good. >> reporter: the program randomly selects applicants from countries with low immigration rates with some requirements like criminal background checks. >> we need strength and resolve. we have to stop it. >> r. >> reporter: on twitter, mr. trump casting it as a senator schumer initially supported the law but in 2013 backed a bipartisan law to scrap it and on wednesday fired back at the president. >> this is a tragedy. it's less than a day than after it occurred, and he can't refrain from his nasty, divisive habits. >> reporter: and late this morning the president seemed to vacillate on the future of the terror suspect after suggesting he should go to guantanamo, he tweeted this morning would love to send the nyc terrorist to guantanamo but statistically that process takes much longer than going through the federal system. there's also something appropriate about keeping him in the home of the horrible crime he committed should move fast, death penalty. matt, savannah? >> kristen welker at the white house. thank you, kristen. >> now to an nbc news exclusive, this week, top executives from facebook, twitter and google are facing some tough questions on capitol hill about social media's role in russia's interference with the election. when nbc's lester holt sat down with apple ceo tim cook, he said the tech giants have a much bigger problem on their hands. lester is with us now. good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning. i'm at an apple store. this time tomorrow, many of the displays around me will be switched over to include the new iphone x. it is a phone that will know more about you and, according to apple, do more for you than previous iphones. its release is coming at a time the entire tech industry is under a new level of scrutiny. key executives from google, twitter and facebook were on capitol hill wednesday admitting to congress they hadn't done enough to protect america from the 2016 election. >> we could have done more. >> we need to do more. >> same is true. >> reporter: i asked apple ceo tim cook to comment on their role. do you think the social media companies have been a little late to acknowledge how they were used by those who tried to influence the election, russians? >> i don't believe the big issue are as from foreign governments. the key issue, in my opinion, is that these tools that are meant to unite us are being used to divide us. >> reporter: his comments come as apple is about to release the new iphone x, that includes a new facial recognition id feature. so this phone, if this is my phone, it's looking at just my image? >> it's looking at your image and different characteristics of your face. and your face can change over time. you might grow a beard. it'll detect that. >> reporter: you have nurtured a device that can unlock my home, can tell what my blood pressure is, can take a picture of my face. raises a lot of privacy concerns. how do you respond to those? >> our view, in this area and so many other areas, is that privacy is a really key issue of our time with the things that technology can do. >> reporter: you took a stand on that, notably, after the san bernardino shooting, in terms of information the authorities wanted to glean off that phone. >> what we opposed was that the government asked us -- or demanded that we invent a new operating system without security parameters in it that could enable them to unlock not just that phone, frankly, but hundreds of millions of phones. >> reporter: making things better is part of what apple sees as its corporate citizenship, including advocating for coding in schools. >> i honestly believe that coding should be a requirement in all schools. >> reporter: and taking a stand on issues beyond technology, like climate change and immigration d.r.e.a.m.ers. >> these folks came to the u.s. when they were children. and we felt it was very important for us to stand up for them. you should stand up for people without a voice. >> reporter: some have raised privacy concerns about the new iphone x and its facial recognition and apple says -- here just unlocked with my face, says that is all happening on the phone itself. it's not being kept in a server somewhere else. again, they say it's all happening right here in the device which goes on sale tomorrow, matt and savannah. >> lester up early with a new phone. a lot more on this conversation, of course, with tim cook, tonight on nbc nightly news. lester, thank you. what do you say we go back to the world of sports, all right? the world series, congrats to the houston astros winning their first championship in franchise history. the astros beat the la dodgers, game seven last night. houston was up 3-0 in the second, when centerfielder george springer blasted a two-run shot over the wall. you know what? deservedly, he was named the mvp of the series. houston wins the game, 5-1. a moment of much-needed joy for a city that's been through an awful lot in recent months, in the wake of hurricane harvey. a great night for houston. even better night for shortstop carlos correa. watch what happened after the middle of the live post game interview after the game. >> right now, i'll take another big step in my life. you make me the happiest man in the world. will you marry me? will you marry me? >> oh, my god! >> that would have been the biggest bummer if she'd said no. >> oh my gosh. >> he popped the question to his girlfriend daniela rodriguez. the former miss texas. she gave the astros star an emphatic yes. millions of people watching on tv. congratulations twice. >> wow. >> that's the kind of sports coverage i can get into. >> that's great. >> i love that. >> they both get a ring. >> definitely. >> true. that's very true. way to go. >> sweet. congrats to them and the astros. that's awesome. let's get our first check of the weather. >> let's start with the west coast, where we're looking at wet weather making its way to the pacific

making a big announcement about his future amid scandals and accusations. nba star gordon hayward speaks out for the first time about that brutal injury that ended his season and his mission to play again, but first, this is today on nbc. accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn't a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i'm tom steyer, and like you, i'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something. it's why i'm funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who's mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing what's political and start doing what's right. our country depends on it.

>> i feel better today than i did yesterday. it's kind of my mindset right now. just trying to work through each day. trying to set little mini goals, you know, and trying to get on with it. >> that's physically, i think, you're referring to. >> yes. >> talk to me about emotionally. because this was -- this is not your typical injury. >> right. i mean, emotionally, it's -- it is hard on me. i love to play the game of basketball. so to sit there and not be able to play, it gets kind of frustrating. >> is there a certain mental trauma that you think is involved in this injury, as well, just because of what you saw and what you felt? >> yeah, i think so. i mean, i think i remember looking at it and it just -- it just doesn't look normal and didn't look right at all. that'll definitely be with me forever, to see -- like look down and see my foot the wrong way. so that's, you know, something that i try not to think about. my foot is facing the right way now so -- >> you look down and say, that looks better. >> i still double check sometimes. >> away we go. >> let's go back to the night, the first game of the season, the season opener. you're a brand-new celtic. this is a big deal. >> yeah. >> you're in cleveland. playing lebron and the cavs. you're five minutes into the season. what do you remember about the play? >> the biggest shot in cavs history. >> going up -- oh, my goodness. hayward came down so hard. >> i remember having a step on my defender. he was kind of behind me, under me a little bit, and then lebron kind of came over at the last second. there were three people in the air trying to get the ball. there is a sense in the air, where you feel like you're off balance and you know you're going to come down hard. i've had that feeling before. for the most part, i'm able to kind of adjust. for this instance, my foot was caught and there was nothing i could do. all of a sudden, it hit me. it was like immense pain coming through. it felt like forever before the doctors and the trainers ran over. it just felt like, for a moment there, i'm just looking at it and it's just like, you know -- that's when i grabbed my head like, oh, no, this is not good. then when they finally popped it back into place, it hurt. when they were carting me out, that's when it hit me emotionally, like i got this e wave of emotion, like am i done? is this my career? is this over? >> have you seen the video? >> i've seen it, yeah. >> have you seen the shots of the people in the crowd? >> yeah. i've seen some of them. like how everyone cringes a little bit and they don't want to look. >> other players were praying. >> i've seen that, too, which is pretty cool to see, for sure. >> i read that your parents were there. >> mm-hmm. >> i can't even imagine what it must have been like to be your parents watching what was happening to their son on the floor. >> yeah. i mean, it's -- as a parent, you don't want your child to go through that. as a parent myself, it's like, thinking, i would rather take their pain. you know, and this is where it makes me emotional, because -- like i wouldn't want my kids to go through that. sorry. >> it's okay. >> i remember seeing my mom, and it was -- she's crying. like that's just tough. it's tough. tough to see your parents cry, too, because it make s you emotional. we went back to the locker room and took x-rays. that's where they said, you have a broken ankle. >> when you're sitting back in the room and the ice is all over you, they've told you you have a broken ankle, you know the season is done. >> mm-hmm. >> what's that like to digest? >> that was tough. that's when, you know, robin calls and i'm talking to robin. she's trying to support me. says she wished she was there. god doesn't give you a challenge you can't handle. i think having the two little ones will really help me. they give you a little perspective because they don't know what's going on. they just know daddy has a boo boo. they like to decorate it with stickers. they like to give it a hug and a kiss because that's what we do when they get boo boos. >> what do you want to learn through this experience? what have you already learned? >> i think it's -- i'm going to come back better than ever, and i firmly believe that, but i know it is going to be a long and difficult process. >> after surgery, the hospital, his coach said, do you need anything, he said, i want a basketball. sent basketballs over. he's been kind of handling the basketball ever since. >> wow. >> before we did that interview, in that gym, he sat in his chair at half court taking shots. >> you are kidding. >> wow. >> he made as many as i made. n he says on other days, he makes quite a few from the chair. >> what a thoughtful -- >> super young man. >> beautiful. watching him talk about his kids and his parents, that was everything. >> i know. >> thank you. coming up, we're going to shift gears and talk about amanda knox. she's opening up. this is the tenth anniversary of her roommate's murder. we'll tell you what she's now saying about this case and their (dog) mmm. this beneful grain free is so healthy... oh! farm-raised chicken! that's good chicken! hm!?

>> you know, i did. i thought, wow. maybe i zigged when i should have zagged. yeah, i thaugought about it a l but i also thought about the heros that i have known, and the benefit of having served in the company of heros. i am the luckiest guy you will ever talk to. i promise you. >> does that memory ever fade for you? is it there constantly, or can you park it somewhere? >> you know, it doesn't fade, but i have parked it. in life, we have to go on, you know. put it behind us and be grateful. >> do you think we're more divided now than we were then? >> no. i think we were more divided then because we were talking about body bags. it was a period of real upheaval in our history. all of it with the back drop of these brave, young people who were over there serving and sacrificing. >> whenever i go across america, inevitably, someone will say to me, are we really okay? >> i hear that, as well. and we are going through a period of turmoil politically, obviously. we are seeing, in many ways, the 1930s. the isolationism, america firsters. maybe some of the causes are different, but the fact is, we are seeing the united states become much more insular and inward. >> if the president called you up and said, what should i be doing that i'm not doing right now, what would you say to him? >> stop tweeting. i think i'd say stop tweeting. i'd also say, look, there is no reason to attack republicans. we have enough people who attack. >> in the course of your political career, especially as a presidential candidate, you had mixed relations with the press. the president has no use for the press. he turned the country against us, in many ways. >> yeah. i think the role of the press is more important than ever before. i hate the press. okay? but the fact is, without a free press, in this country, the pillar of democracy is destroyed. >> in the senate and your private life, as well, you've had friends on both sides of the aisle. that doesn't happen anymore. is that a key to getting the country back on an even keel? >> you know, the guys i fought with is and worked with almost more than anybody in the united states senate was one ed caward kennedy. he and i would yell at each other. we'd fight. we'd walk off and he'd put his arm around me and say, we did pretty good, didn't we? that's the kind of relationship you have to have. we did a lot of legislation together. >> have you loved your life, john? >> oh, yeah. i've loved my life. i can't tell you, for 60 years now, i've had the great honor of being involved in the arena. i've loved every minute of it. the disappointments, ups, downs, wins, losses. but no one has had the wonderful life that i've had. no one. >> and there have been so many john mccain lives. he is now a senior statesman. it is worth going on google to read the speech to the naval academy because it is forewarning for the cadets and the rest of the country about where we are and what we ought to be thinking about. >> how does he seem like he is doing, to you? >> look, it's a very tough cancer. it is a very difficult cancer. he is getting great care at the mayo clinic in arizona. at the same time, he is a realist and knows what he is up to. i think that's why we're seeing so much candor from him and why he wants to, at this stage in his life, to raise his hand and say, i'm not going to be politically correct anymore. by the way, the two of us used to have a very close, but appropriate, relationship. then as it did with a lot of members of the press, it went to hell when he was running against obama. we reconciled last summer. his initiative, he said, you know, i was wrong. we have to get back together again. we'll always be reporter and politician, but at the same time, i have an enormous personal affection for him. >> another thing worth watching is that video after he was captured. a lot of people put it out there online after this anniversary, to watch that. >> if i can say one thing, i stood at the edge of the lake where he went in, and i got emotional. thinking about he gets shot down, drops into the lake, they all go in and try to kill him right there, and he pulls out there and he's got every bone broken in his body. then he goes into solitary c confineme confinement. >> amazing story. thank you very much. >> appreciate it. let's turn now to our ongoing series brainpower. today, maria, this is something you're looking at, a new, innovative test to detect alzheimer's before the symptoms occ occur, right? >> most people think alzheimer's is just an old person's disease, but it is not. doctors now say warning signs can start appearing in the body decades earlier. when lifestyle changes may make a big difference. that's why they're pushing for more early testing and developing new ways to detect the disease before it is too late. >> how are you feeling?
