>> the utility cut power to nearly a million customers. >> to say that conditions are a tinderbox is an under statement. >> it sounds critical at this point. we have been fortunate they have left the area when we asked them to. >> the winds died down and they're expected to pick up tuesday into wednesday. there is no word on when power might be restored. >> this morning u.s. intelligence agencies are shifting through highly sensitive information that was gathered in the daring u.s. raid on the isis leaders compound in northwestern syria. the group's leader killed himself in that weekend attack. now this is a big victory for president trump who is accused of giving a lifeline to isis when he pulled american troops out of northern syria. they located al-baghdadi because of tips from prisoners. so what else do we know this morning about that raid? >> good morning, we know the army's elite delta force took the lead, about 70 american ko m -- commandos took the lead in this raise. two were injured and there was an injury by a military dog. five of baghdadi's associates were killed. >> he died a kcoward, whimperin, screaming. >> amateur video allegedly shows the raid. >> the thug that tried so hard to intimidate others spent his last moments in utter fear, in total panic and dread. terrified of the american forces bearing down on him. >> mr. trump said fresh intelligence on his likely location and where he might move set the mission in motion three days ago. u.s. forces took off from a military base in irbil erik for the roughly one hour and ten minute trip to the location. once there they blasted a whole through the side of the compound catching those neds by surprised. he flaed to an underground tunnel. >> he ignited his vest killing himself and the three children. his body was mutilated by the task. >> he said it confirmed the identity with a test. >> russia treated us great. they opened up, we had a fly overcertain russia areas. >> the syrian curd that's have seen the withdrawal from the country as a betrayal have also played along. >> they gave us some snfgs that turned out to be helpful. other congressional leaders chuck shumer found out when the this it great that you have gotten hymn and killed him. he is dangerous and even. the fight against isis has to continue. >> the raid was code named after caleb mueller. an aid worker killed at baghdadi's hands. >> major, thank you very much. mueller and three other civilians are among thousands of deaths blamed on isis. the terror group contained large sections of syria and iraq. holly williams is covering the rise and fall. hw likely is he to damage the group he founded. >> this is a man that stood up five years ago and declared himself the leader of a so-called islamic state. after their split from al qaeda he lead isis to the peak of their violence outrage. enslaving women and carrying out gruesome executions and exporting terror to the u.s. it was never about one man, it is an extreme and violent interpretation of islam. some would say a perversion of islam. it doesn't end with baghdadi and doesn't end with isis. other jihadist groups have replaced their leaders quickly when they've been killed. there's little doubt that isis will do the same. one likely successor is a character who, like baghdadi, spent time in a prison camp in iraq following the invasion of 2003. that camp became an incubator for jihadis. president trump said that baghdadi's caliphate has been obliterated. it's true that isis lost control of the last patch of territory in syria in march. the pentagon says isis has up to 18,000 members in syria and iraq. and eastern syria, the president ordered troops to withdraw this month, kurdish forces say they're holding up to 12,000 accused isis fighters. an american people general described the prisoners to me as a, quote, contained fighting force. baghdadi is dead, but isis is still very much alive. gayle? >> more, with to be done there. thank you so much -- more work to be done. thank you so much. cbs news contributor and former acting cia director, that's michael morrell, is with us from washington. he was, by the way, cia deputy director when osama bin laden was killed in a u.s. raid in pakistan. michael, thank you so much for joining us. you know, yesterday the president seemed to imply that the death was much bigger than the death of osama bin laden. i think most people weren't aware there was a competition. but can you put this in perspective for us, what this really means? >> yeah. so there wasn't a competition. both -- both operations were very significant, significant setbacks for al qaeda in bin laden's case. baghdadi was the operational leader of isis, guiding the resurgence to isis. even though they lost their caliphate this year, they were in the process of resurging. 10,000 to 30,000 operatives on the syria/iraq border. he was helping to orchestrate that. and he was also the group's inspirational leader, as holly mentioned. without him, they lose both of that. history has shown us, gayle, that when you take a terrorist leader off the battlefield, it takes a while for the replacement to find their way, to learn the job. so that's a setback. and most important, it sends a message to all the leadership that they're at risk, and they start worrying more about their own security than they do about running their group and thinking about operations. so it is a setback, definitely. isis will not go away because of this. but it is a setback. >> what's the significance of where baghdadi was found? >> i'm not sure there's much significance. you know, a lot's been made that this is al qaeda territory. after the caliphate collapsed, a number of isis fighters made their way from the part of syria and iraq where they were to this part of northwestern syria come is sort of a no-man's land. i'm not sure it -- it's of significance in any way beyond the best place to hide. >> michael, president trump says that u.s. forces on the ground took, quote, highly sensitive material and information, end quote, in the raid. what would you be looking for in that material? >> absolutely. good question. i think four things. one is any current plots or operations, that's the first thing you look for. the second would be how is the organization actually working today? how is it communicating with each other? how is money moving? you know, how is it operating on a day-to-day basis. third, the leadership. who's in charge, in what position, how do they interact with each other, who's important, who's not, and then lastly, big strategic plans and intentions. those are four things you'll be looking for. >> thank you so much. a manhunt is underway for the gunman who opened fire at an off-campus college party in texas. the shooting early yesterday killed two people and hurt 12 others, and a vigil last night for one of the victims was interrupted by more gunfire. dramatic cell phone video captured the chaos inside the party. mireya villarreal is in greenville, texas, near the scene of the first shooting. have any suspects been identified at this point? >> reporter: right now we do not know who is responsible for either shooting, but there is where the first one happened. and as the shooter fired off his gun, party-goers streamed out of the building that you see behind me. hundreds of them running for their lives with just two exits to choose from. [ gunfire ] there was another shooting in texas last night. this time at a vigil as family and friends gathered in dallas to remember 23-year-old kevin barry jr. one of the alleged victims of a homecoming party shooting early sunday morning. barry was allegedly one of two people killed at an off-campus party in greenville, texas, near the texas a&m commerce campus. [ screams ] >> reporter: horrific cell phone video captured the shooting as it was happening. 12 others people were injured, of have gunshot wounds. >> we're going to need more than one unit. we'll have multiple people shot. >> reporter: investigators believe the shooter came into the building through a back door and may have targeted someone at the party. deputies say they are not sure because some witnesses are not cooperating. >> i don't know if they're afraid. if they're afraid of being retaliated against. we really need people to come forward. >> reporter: more than 750 people were at the party at the time of the shooting. investigators say the gunman was able to get away by blending in with the large crowd during the panic. >> in the chaos, the suspect or suspects were able to flee the scene, and we are working on identifying them at this point. >> reporter: sierra was at the party and says she has a personal donation some of the victims. >> it's sad that we were coming here to celebrate something and something like this happens. but i mean, i guess it's just the world that we live in now. >> reporter: the local sheriff's department tells me they are monitoring the shooting that happened at the vigil in dallas. in the meantime, they have the fbi and the atf here in greenville, texas, helping with this investigation. tony? >> maria, thank you so much. now to the world series where president trump watched last night's game from a luxury suite at nationals park in washington where he received what you would call less than a warm welcome from many people in the crowd. [ chants ] >> fans booed mr. trump, and some chanted "lock him up" when he was announced on the public address system and shown on the big screen. as for the game itself, the houston astros beat the nationals again. this time 7-1. and the series now heads back to houston with the astros one game away from a world series championship. >> so interesting to me that it's clearly a big victory for the administration and gets booed at the game. nobody likes to get booed. the man accused of killing missing colorado mother kelsey berreth goes on trial for murder. how the case against her fiance could come down to one key witness. first, it is 7:18. time to check your local we >> the wind has eased but now we're doing with the smoke so i spare the air alert and affect today with air quality unhealthy for sensitive groups and the wind will continue to ease through the afternoon but another wind event sets up to the afternoon, peak wins overnight tuesday night into wednesday so watching it closely. for today with that smoke do what you can to stay safe, mid- seventies and led an upper 60s to low 70s for the bay and mid 60s for the coast. marathon. ahead, a fast-growing phone scam tricks people into handing over critical bank account information with a text message. jericka duncan is looking into the fraud. >> that's right. in some cases, a scammer appears to be calling you from a reputable agency or this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by brought to you by toyota -- let's go places. ♪ ♪ ♪ good lunch? amazin'! toyota. let's go places. ♪ ♪ ♪ (intel bong) if your mouth is made to amaze, let philips sonicare give its care a raise. get healthier gums in 2 weeks guaranteed. give it philips sonicare. next level clean, next level care. there's always a way to make life better. philips sonicare woman 1: i had no symptoms of hepatitis c. there's always a way to man 1: mine...er. man 1: ...caused liver damage. vo: epclusa treats all main types of chronic hep c. vo: whatever your type, ask your doctor if epclusa is your kind of cure. woman 2: i had the common type. man 2: mine was rare. vo: epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate. man 3: i just found out about my hepatitis c. woman 3: i knew for years. vo: epclusa is only one pill, once a day, taken with or without food for 12 weeks. vo: before starting epclusa, your doctor will test if you have had hepatitis b, which may flare up, and could cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. vo: tell your doctor if you have had hepatitis b, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions... vo: ...and all medicines you take, including herbal supplements. vo: taking amiodarone with epclusa may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. vo: common side effects include headache and tiredness. vo: ask your doctor today, if epclusa is your kind of cure. halloween is awesome.

>> reporter: good morning. jury selection is set to begin and the last a few days. at the center of this trial is krystal lee kenney, a nurse who was allegedly having an affair with patrick frazee. she claims she cleaned up the murder crime scene because she wanted to please frazee and because she feared him. >> this case does live or die on kristal lee. >> reporter: as prosecutors prepare their star witness in the murder trial, legal experts say it may not be a slam-dunk r weapon. >> reporter: the idaho nurse was frazee's secret girlfriend. she told authorities frazee tried to get her to kill kelsey berreth three different times. once with a poisoned starbucks coffee. lee says in the end, it was frazee who murdered the mother of his child at berreth's home on thanksgiving day by beating her with a baseball bat. but male dna found at the crime scene does not match frazee. >> how would you describe the physical evidence so far? >> i would describe the physical evidence that i know of to be pretty weak. >> reporter: at trial, frazee's defense may point the finger at lee, suggesting she's fabricated parts of her story before. do you think the defense will paint lee as a liar? >> they will absolutely paint krytal lee as a liar. in fact, there is evidence that initially she did lie to investigators. she said that she had no idea who patrick frazee or kelsey baerreth were. >> reporter: after the disappearance her cell phone pinged 800 miles away near gooding, idaho. lee eventually admitted she had the phone, destroyed it, and she also got rid of berreth's keys and a gun. all to help frazee cover his tracks. >> why?

>> the scammers are getting extra sophisticated. many of us safeguard sensitive accounts from being hacked by using those extra measures like text message verification to sign in. but one man tells us scammers subverted that process and even used his bank's actual phone number to text him. >> the lady identified her as cindy at my particular bank and told me there had been a fraud attempt on my account. >> reporter: everything seemed normal when peter answered a call this month that he says appeared to come from his bank. the caller asked him, who lives in california, if he'd attempted a transaction in miami. after gunst said no, she asked for his bank identification, and he gave it to her. >> she said we're going to send you a one-time verification pin so we can check your identity. >> reporter: the scammer then used his bank member i.d. to prompt a text message from the bank's real phone number like others he'd received before with that one-time verification code. gunst tried back over the phone which allowed the scammer to access his account and list off actual bank transactions. >> the fact that they used the bank's own infrastructure to send that pin code to me which then allowed them to reset my password made it very credible. >> reporter: it was only when the scammer asked gunst for his bank pin that he realized something was wrong, hung up, and called the bank's real fraud line to lock his account. >> a lot of scams come in through the phone. and more and more we're seeing them coming in through text message. >> reporter: katherine hutt is with the better business bureau. red flags include caller asking for your name, address, social security number, or account numbers. and the best way to make sure you're really talking to your bank -- just call the number on your card. >> whether it's a small local community bank, credit union, one of the biggest banks in the country, they can be impostered. you have to be really careful. >> reporter: gunst, a technology later, later tweeted about the scam. he told us several people responded to him with similar stories. the better business bureau says it's a best practice to regularly monitor your bank statements for potentially fraudulent charges. i was recently hacked. >> were you? >> i checked my account very closely, and that's how i was able to detect it. it's being investigated. there are so many ways -- whether it's this -- >> this is really sophisticated. >> it's good. >> they're calling you. you think they're trying to help you. >> from a real number. >> the trick is -- >> they've got to make a phone call. >> and if they ask you for information about whats your i.d. number, password, or account number -- if they're really the bank they should know what your account number is. >> absolutely. >> i could see people -- i could see falling for that in the heat of the moment. >> good thing he pulled up. thank you so much. ahead, vladimir duthiers is looking at the stories you'll be looking at today. what have you got?

is the culture of silicon valley to blame? we have more on what it takes to build a healthy >> the wind has eased but now we are dealing with that smoke so unhealthy air quality and spare the air alerts and affect today and those winds will continue to ease through the afternoon but watch as they pick up again with the next wind event starting tomorrow in the afternoon with peak winds overnight tuesday into early wednesday and they will gusts up to 50 miles per hour. not as strong as this last wind event but we will be watching those offshore winds. tech giants like facebook, amazon, uber, and wework have faced criticism for their workplace culture. well, venture capitalist ben horowitz argues that many companies miss the mark when developing their culture. it's part of his book, "what you do is who you are: how to create your business culture." horowitz was an investor in transformative startups like airbnb, instagram, lyft, and pinterest. he joins us now. ben, good morning. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> i think we should define culture. you have an interesting way of saying, look, it's not dogs at work, it's not casual friday, it's not about a slogan on the wall. what is it? >> it's not a set of beliefs. it's a set of actions. it's what people do when you're not looking and you're not there. do they go home at 5:00, or do they go home at 8:00? do they return the known tall that day or in a -- phone call that day or in a week? when they have a partnership do they focus on the partnership or the price? these are your culture, and they're hard to measure. and you can't just put them in a performance review because you don't know if they did them. >> you said there's a difference between culture and perks at work. sometimes people get it confused and you have to have big buy-in from the ceo, whoever she is, you say. >> yeah. >> i like that note. yeah. >> yes. now absolutely. and it -- but they won't just behave like the ceo. like when you all come to work, you just don't say, oh, what would the ceo of cbs do. >> yes. >> right? like culture has to be programmed, it has to be systematic. so as the leader you can't just expect that people are going to do what you do. that doesn't happen. >> in the book you remind us about facebook's motto, move fast and break things. >> yes. which was very good at the time. >> at the time. that's one thing that happens. companies grow, and in effect you have to change in a way. >> absolutely. you have to change because, one, the world changes, as it has changed for facebook. then like your business needs change. what you have to do changes. and because your culture is how you behave, your behavior needs to change and your culture has to evolve. often, you know, when you start a company, you can't anticipate all the things that you're going to need. >> yeah. i like, too, when you talk about hiring practices. i found this very interesting. if people in power positions only hire people that look like them, that really does hurt the culture. and you had a graphic example about one of your -- one of your managers told you. >> yeah. it's not just -- when you're hiring people, you generally, your default is you hire you. like i know what i'm good at, i can pass in an interview, it's great. but then you don't see people have talent that you don't have. and the thing that really drove this home for me is i had an organization with all women in it. and i asked -- what is it about your job criteria where no men can get the job? i was trying to understand it. and she said, helpfulness. and i was like, snap. you know, i don't know any helpful men. face it. we were a services firm. and like being able to anticipate some of these needs, being helpful is like a really critical thing we needed in the firm. but i can even see -- i was blinds to the talent. so it actually takes work to see talent that you yourself don't have. but it's a huge competitive advantage if you can do it. >> yeah. >> i think people default to when they get into diversity and inclusion, they go, well, i'll look at the -- oh, that's women, that's like a -- an african-american. that doesn't get what you want, and it also corrupts the culture because now you're making race and gender the criteria as opposed to seeing the talent. >> there are big questions now and criticisms and calls for big tech overall to be regulated. elizabeth warren is calling for a breakup of many of the big-name tech companies. is changing culture a way of regulating from the inside? >> i think so. you know, it gets into more complex things. but i think people often misinterpret kind of -- and you all see this a lot -- kind of good versus evil. like that's a good person, that's -- versus, you know, humans against the gods. it's a systems problem. we're all battling the system that we've created. it's very complicated, and it's hard to understand what the consequences are. and so it takes work to reprogram it and correct it. that's a lot of what culture is about. how do you get the system to where it does what you want it to do? so it's a good system, not an evil system. but like if you go to like the intent of jeff bezos and mark zuckerberg, you've had them on, none of these people have bad intent. they all have good intentions. >> the execution. >> it's complex to get it right. particularly when you talk about like something with billions of people on it. >> thank you so much. >> your book is good because it gives three examples of genghis khan, a gang leader in prison, and then two-cent, cultures that worked. >> yes. >> maybe you'll come back and do a podcast with me. >> his book is "what you do is who you are," goes on sale tomorrow. we'll be right back. before we go here's one thing you can do today to live a happier and healthier and more productive life. part of our partnership with greechen rubin and her podcast "happier." americans feel overwhelmed when chores pile up at home. a power hour is an effective way to finish the annoying tasks on your to-do list. every week, dedicate just one hour to the important chores you keep putting off. for example, donate unwanted clothes, organize your home office, or clean up the fridge. it also helps to make a list of your power hour tasks. studies show you feel less stressed and more productive when we write down our plans. >> makes a lot of sense. >> i'm going to do the pots and pap -- and pans. that cabinet that everything falls out. >> i get overwhelmed tryin t >> good morning it is 8:55 am i am michelle griego , santa rosa residents are evacuating to the sonoma county fairgrounds this morning and the red cross says 13 shelters in total are opened at half opened their doors the last 24 hours. representatives say that shelters are fully staffed and stocked with necessities. pg&e is currently restoring power in affected areas but the utility warns more shutoffs are on the way and another wind event is coming our way and by wednesday 600,000 people are expected to be back in the dark. there will be community resources available for those affected by the evacuations or power shutoffs. we will have news updates throughout the day on your favorite platforms including our website kpix.com. shouldn't they go to prison for as long as the law allows?
