To the president ial race now. Donald trump is making headlines over controversial comments at an annual event for veterans in washington, d. C. While a top supporter of Hillary Clinton is calling on Bernie Sanders to end his white house run. Kristen welker is in new york. Good morning. Good morning to you. Weather permitting, Hillary Clinton is expected to march in the annual memorial day parade, right here in chappaqua where she has a home. Donald trump is off the campaign trail, but he spent part of the Holiday Weekend courting veterans. All this as speculation swirls about a possible thirdparty candidate entering the race. Reporter donald trump rolled into the annual Rolling Thunder event, honoring prisoners of war. Look, memorial day, so important. Its our day, and we have to be very proud of it. We are very proud of it. Reporter trump, who did not serve in the military, arguing hed be better for veterans than Hillary Clinton. Making this claim about undocumented immigrants. Legal immigrants are taken much better care by this country. Taken care of than the veterans. Reporter the reality, congress and many states have enacted laws aimed at restricting Government Services to those living in the country illegally. Trump raising eyebrows by drawing a contrast to the 1963 march on washington. Ill tell you what amazes me. I thought this would be like dr. Martin luther king, where the people would be lined up from here all the way to the washington monument, right . Reporter this morning, could a thirdparty candidate will set to join the race . Conservative Commentator Bill kristol dropping this hint. There will be an impressive, independent candidate with a strong team and a real chance. Trump calling krtol an embarrassed loser. Arguing the thirdparty candidate would be a spoiler. This weekend, trump went on a 12minute tirade over the federal judge overseeing the lawsuit against Trump University, who ordered the unsealing of hundreds of documents related to the case. The judge, which we believe to be mexican, which is great. Its fine. Reporter in fact, the judge was born in indiana. Meanwhile, over the weekend, Hillary Clinton was off the trail. The top surrogate turned up the heat on Bernie Sanders. He ought to be able to read the si post. If hdid that, he would know that its all but over. Reporter on meet the press, sanders saying hes in the race till the end. When asked about party unity . If secretary clinton is the nominee, it is her job to reach out to millions of people and make the case as to why she is going to defend working families. That is the candidates job to do. Now, sanders also didnt rule out running as secretary clintons vp nominee, but stressed he is focused on winning the nomination. For donald trump, he has said hed going to release details about money hes raised for Veterans Charities tomorrow. Tamron and carson, back to you. Thank you so much. Lets bring in steve kornacki. Good morning. Morning, steve. If i had a dollar for every time you and i talked about a thirdparty run, independent candidate. Now bill kristol says there is someone. Names include mitt romney, names include mitt romney, ben sasse and tom coburn, former senator from oklahoma. All three indicated the answer is no, consistently. Itd be a surprise if they got in. The big irproblem is this. The ballot deadline has passed in texas. Itll pass a few days from now in North Carolina. A few days after that in indiana. Youre getting into big states. If youre a thirdparty candidate, you wont be on the ballot if you got in now. If somebody does get in there, what does it do to trumps candidacy . If its coming from the right, there is a threat to donald trump. Thats why he reacted aggressively as he did yesterday. The other thing that happened over the weekend that he has to worry about, i think, is the libertarian party, which has Ballot Access in all 50 states. They nominated their ticket over the weekend. You have two former republican governors. Gary johnson, new mexico. Bill weld, massachusetts. This is the most credible this is the most credible Third Party Libertarian ticket weve seen. There is a bit of a threat there. Speaking of Something Else trump may be worried about this judge deciding documents related to this lawsuit against Trump University will be released, that tirade from trump, hes run as a business man of great success. Could this be a bad week . Thats the thing. Always have to say every new revelation, new statement boy, never seems to stop them. However, this one, this Trump University thing, i do think theres an aspect of this that is more understandable to people, more relatable to people. What hes accused of here, it really looks like at least what hes accused of could be seen as a con job against ordinary people. Its more understandable than some of the other things democrats have gone after, some of the other business vulnerabilities. Thats probably why you saw that preemptive strike. We saw in kristins piece Dianne Feinstein asking bernie to step out. Is he doing lasting damage . I dont think were at that point yet. I think back eight years ago, memorial day weekend in the Clinton Obama race. Hillary clinton was saying im in till the convention. You have Barack Obamas people saying this is going to hurt the party long term. What ended up they finished up the primary, she knew what the math was, got out. If Bernie Sanders does that in the next couple weeks i think where we were eight years ago. The question is, were he to win california that could embolden him, could make him push all the way. Then you might have that conversation. Thanks so much. Also this morning investigators trying to piece together, two people killed, six wounded. Gabe has the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning. This west houston neighborhood is quiet, a far cry from a terrifying scene that unfolded on sunday. Bullets flying, this gas station catching fire. Residents diving for cover. This upscale houston neighborhood is reelg this morning as investigators try to find out what led to a deadly shooting rampage. We dont know if he was out to target Law Enforcement f he was going to shoot people randomly. I would say atook on both is probably fair to say. The chaos broke out sunday morning. We have shooter situation. Reporter as a man with an ar15 style Assault Rifle and handgun opened fire. We barricaded in a back bedroom, even in a closet for a while. All we could hear is helicopters and rapid gun fire. Reporter stray bullets likely setting off a blaze at this gas station. One man was killed. I seen a white guy hunched over with the car running and what looked to be a gunshot wound to the neck. Reporter police met with heavy gun fire as they raced to the the scene. One deputy took several rounds in his bullet proof vest. Another shot in the hand. One of mif classmates mom got shot in the leg. Reporter four others wounded. This is not what we expect to see on a memorial day weekend in any community in the united states. But its what weve had here. Reporter investigators are now interviewing one of the wounded as a possible second suspect though its unclear what role if any he played in the shooting. As to the two deputies wounded they have been treated and releas released. So far no word on motive for the shooting. Gabe gutierrez, thank you. Rain isnt the only concern for beachgoer. Two apparent shark attacks investigated, one in florida, the other in Southern California where a twomile stretch of beach is closed. Steve paterson is there. Good morning. Reporter good morning. It is the unofficial start to summer so the beach behind me should be packed. Yet its going to be shut down for at least 24 hours after a possible shark attack and this one follows confirmation of a shark bite all the way across the country. Fear on a florida beach. A boy just 13 years old bitten by a shark. His father kneeling by his side as life guards treat the wound on his right leg. A woman cradles the boy, you can hear him cry in pain. This is the devastation left behind, splotches of blood dotting the daytona beach. Police say the shark was between 5 and 6 feet long, and not the only shark scare this memorial day weekend. Happened so fast. I dont know what happened. The kids had to get out of the water and sit on blankets. Reporter in california life guards rescued a woman, she had large bite marks on her torso and shoulderment she was taken to a hospital. Two mile stretch of the state beach now evacuated and shut down for 24 hours as Police Search the waters for the shark behind the bite. Obviously if theres aggressive behavior by a marine animal, then we take precaution. Reporter last year 59 shark attacks in the u. S. , the highest on record. One of them fatal. And more than half of them happened in florida. A grim reminder for the millions of americans at the beach on this holiday. Reporter reminder, shark attacks are considered very rare. To give you context, you would much more likely to get struck by lightning but they still happen. Steve, thank you. Now a developing story, Iraqi Ground Forces backed by u. S.

And it was a dramatic and improbable finish at the indy500. 24yearold Alexander Rossi shocked the field on sunday becoming the first rookie in 15 years to win race. Rossi didnt go to pit row, so while everybody else pulled over to fuel up rossi drove on cruising past on fumes. He did run out of gas moments later and needed to be towed in.
