For us. Kerry, good morning. What are police doing today, and are they concerned about another round of protests tonight . Reporter well, they are prepared. I think they believe that there may be some exhaustion that sets in after two nights of this. Last night was not as bad, but, of course, for the person who was shot and had to be rescued by the police in an armored vehicle, it was a horrible night. That man was taken to the hospital, and we do not have a condition update, but we do know he did survive the gunshot. Meantime, one Police Officer was also taken to the hospital after getting a windshield smashed in his cruiser, causing some injury to him. The authorities last night did have the National Guard activated, but not deployed, because the Milwaukee Police department has a specially trained unit of 150 officers who have not only special training, but also riot gear. They finally moved in last night to try to unleash or unblock an intersection that was being held up by some protesters. They called it an unlawful gathering, and they asked those people to move, and thats when things started getting ugly, rocks and bottles being thrown at the police. And then throughout the night, there was sporadic fun gunfire. If you go into saturday night, the Police Department says there were at least 48 shots fired and several of them at the police, including two right into the windshield of one of their armored vehicles. So theres a lot of tension and a lot of guns and a lot of gunfire. As of our understanding right now, the police have not discharged any weapons, but the real question that keeps circling backis, folks want to see that dash cam or that body cam video, and they want to know if other officers had cameras on, as well. The police chief says it wont be released immediately. And, of course, folks say they dont believe it until they see it. They want to know what happened when that officer, a black officer, approached the black suspect and says that the black suspect turned and had a gun that he was raising, and the officer shot. And, according to police chief, theyre trained not only to protect the public, but protect themselves. Chris . Nbcs kerry sanders, thank you so much for that. We will keep our eye on it to see when and if that dash cam video, body cam video, gets released. Meantime, lets talk about this state of emergency under way in louisiana. Historic floodwaters have killed at least five people, and louisianas governor says more than 20,000 people have been rescued from their homes. Upwards of 10,000 are now living in shelters, forced to flee. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez joins me now from the flood zone in baton rouge, and whats the forecast for today and what about those floodwaters . Are they still rising . Reporter hi there, chris, good morning. Of thankfully, the floodwaters behind me are receding. The water is on the way down. Still, a very active scene. You can see Baton Rouge Police here with boats on hand, in case any more water rescues are needed. And also some other residents waiting to see if they can get back in their homes. The water rose so quickly yesterday, the residents said they had never seen anything like this. With another round of rain in the forecast, this morning the nightmare in waterlogged louisiana is far from over. Our neighborhood is getting water pretty good. Reporter communities cut off. Its devastating. You have no idea. Reporter the coast guard plucking some from rooftops. Others escaping by boat. Its so scary. Im still waiting for my husband is and daughter. Reporter this remarkable video from baton rouge station wafb. Im drowning. Reporter shows rescuers finding a woman trapped inside a submerged car. Get my dog. Get my dog. Reporter reaching her and her dog just in time. Ive got your dog. Ooh reporter other good smar tans racing to the rescue. God awful. Makes me want to cry the whole time. Reporter state police bringing supplies to drivers stranded. Reporter the scope of the destruction sinking in. We lost everything. All the businesses are all lost. All the way down. The whole thing. Reporter as we take a look at some live i have imagines from this drone, you can see this neighborhood in east baton rouge is still inundated. But again, chris, thankfully some waters starting to recede. The governor, however, says this is an unprecedented disaster in parts of the state. We see baton rouge fire engine go by right now. The governor says this is unprecedented for parts of the state. Places like watson, more than 31 inches over a 48hour period. They will be assessing the damage there for quite a while. As you mentioned, more than 20,000 people rescued over the weekend. Some 10,000 or so are still in shelters. At least five people confirmed dead, and residents here are still trying to figure out if anything is left of their homes, if theyre homes have been completely flooded. Also, police on hand if any more water rescues are needed. Chris, back to you. Boy, some pictures so reminiscent of the horrors of kate katrina. Thank you for that update. Reporter it could have been the excitement of the olympics that started off the pandemonium at new yorks jfk airport last night, prompting Mass Evacuations and grounded flights. Tammy leitner joins me from jfk. What exactly happened there . Reporter chris, its back to business as usual right now here at jfk. Last night it was chaotic. Around 9 30 somebody reported hearing gunfire at the airport and everybody took cover. We have some video of people crouching behind chairs, other people lying on the ground. People running out of the terminal. Other people running across the tarmac. One person, zach young, described this as the most insane thing i have ever seen. He shot some video. Lets go ahead and take a look at that. Ladies and gentlemen, start walking, hands up in the air. Everybody proceed to gate number 542. Reporter the faa diverted some flights. There was a ground stop for a while. Everybody in terminal 8 was evacuated for about three hours. The Fire Department port authority, Police Department, came in, searched, didnt find anything. As you mentioned, theyre still trying to figure out what happened. Was it the cheering and clapping for the olympics, people watching it inside here, or was there an argument at the ticket counter . Thats the theories out there right now, chris. Nbcs Tammy Leitner at jfk. What a mess there. Thank you so much. A big day sunday in rio for some of the worlds top athletes that some of the folks at jfk were watching. Fresh off our gold medal win, u. S. Gymnast, simone biles, dominated the competition yet begin, winning her third gold medal at thes games. She wants to go for five gold later today. Her fourth gold competition shell compete in the balance beam final. And then there is usain bolt, still the fastest man in the world. The jamaican sprinter ran in the final last night, capturing his seventh olympic gold medal, his third consecutive gold in that event. And lets take a look at your olympic aww moment of the day. Moments after clinching the seth meyers in the three meter spring board yesterday, this chinese diver was surprised with a Marriage Proposal from a teammate and her answer, thank goodness, an enthusiastic yes. Also an olympic holdup. Team usa swimmer, ryan lochte and teammates robbed at gunpoint sunday morning. Billy bush spoke with lochte exclusively following the incident. Hell join with us that interview after the break. You dont know this yet but in fifteen hundred miles, youll see what youre really made of. After five hours of spinning and one unfortunate ride on the gravitron, your grandkids spot a 6 foot banana that you need to win.

Shoots and burns its way into your day, i hear you. To everyone with this pain that makes ordinary tasks extraordinarily painful, i hear you. Make sure your doctor hears you too i hear you because i was there when my dad suffered with diabetic nerve pain. If you have diabetes and burning, shooting pain in your feet or hands, dont suffer in silence step on up and ask your doctor about diabetic nerve pain. Tell em cedric sent you. Allis allis. Dont just eat. Mangia bertolli directly from 12time olympic medali medalist, ryan lochte after his frightening runin rio with robbers, held at gunpoint by men pretending to be Police Officers as leaving a party. Billy bush spoke to lochte in an exclusive interview. I know you have known ryan for many years, and you ran into him at usa house is that right . Reporter yeah, we took the morning and went up to christ the redeemer, with a couple friends, and on and all the while, we had been hearing a story that something had happened to ryan lochte. He was held at gunpoint and then a story came out from the ioc, the International Olympic committee, saying no, that was not the case. So, okay, story is gone. And after we came down from this beautiful sightseeing adventure, we go to usa house, did some shopping, and on the way out, one of my old co hosts from access hollywood live, kit, said is that lochte . And i said, looks like it, yeah. And went over and said, hey, lochte . And he says, yes. And said, did it happen . And we spoke on the street for a little bit, and i realized, well, its going to take too long to get a camera crew and we walked across the street, went newschool, took out the phone and began the interview and did an hour a minute and forty five seconds to get as many details. And heres what lochte told me had happened. We got pulled over in our taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing. Just a police badge. They pulled us over, they pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground. They got down on the ground. I was, like, we didnt do anything wrong. So im not getting down on the ground. And the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead, and hes like, get down, and i was like i put my hands up, and i was like whatever. He took our money, he took my wallet. Reporter gather chris what happens here sometimes is people lochte told me the car sideswiped their car, unmarked, no sirens on top, so likely some hoods with badges instead of maybe an undercover cop thats corrupt. What happens sometimes, you get hit with a car, then you stop to do the Insurance Exchange and hey, what happened. And as soon as you stop, they rob you. And thats what happened to lochte. What lochte you know, did not do is get the ground. Someone has a loaded gun, put it to your head, dock the gun and say get on the ground. Thats what you do. It was late at night, coming back from a brazilian swimming party. Not the vice i would give someone if i were pulled over. Yeah, and a lot of things struck me about that interview. First, the demeanor. I thought to myself, if he had a gun put to his forehead, he must be in shock, because he seemed very calm. His mother in a separate interview had said that he was very shaken up. I mean, what was your impression of how he was handling this . Reporter he seemed very relaxed, and one of the other guys was with him, not far away. So he was with his boys and his buddies, and i think i dont know. I mean, i can only guess venture to guess he might have been on a high from surviving something so awful. I would probably be in fetal position after going through Something Like that. But he seemed like they were they were having fun. I could tell they were having fun, and i dont think it held him back. He was probably out last night. Well, was it i mean, this obviously is something that both rio and ioc and usoc officials had been worried about from long before these games started, the security issue, you and i see it every day. There is 85,000 people on the streets providing security. We often see groupsf armed military. But was it your sense when you saw this that this was something obviously that was trying to be squashed, and was it a usoc official, as i had had heard, who stopped this interview in mid interview . Reporter yeah. I was a minute and forty seconds in, and usoc came over and said, ryan, we discussed this, whats going on. I didnt know that. And we were putting on a press release, please, can you come with me. So they kind of took him away. But we already had confirmation. Im sure what they would have done is given us the real story, as we got it. But we are all we have all been briefed on security here by nbc up and is down and all around Everybody Knows the protocol. And i dont know if the swimmers are getting the same advice, but this is happening late, late, early in the morning after a party, and theyre in a taxicab. So we thankfully have we have official vehicles and theyre taking us around and all of us are on the media side certainly being safer. Yeah, thats obviously one thing that nbc does very well. Whats your sense of it, billy . I mean, again, youve known him for a while. But suddenly theres like this lockdown. We havent heard from any of the other guys, we havent heard anything else from ryan. Whats your expectation . Because there is a lot of questions that are still out there about what happened, how it happened, was this a setup between the cabby and the robbers . When do you think we might hear more or is this just going to stay lockdown . Reporter i dont think well hear much more about that at all. Of i mean, the media will keep asking questions, but lochte has finished competition and so are the swimmers. There is not another swimming event. Ryan was going to leave on tuesday, thats tomorrow. Im sure theyll make sure he makes his flight and off they go. The ioc doesnt want any of this, because it shines a terrible light on the rio games, which have been fantastic. You look at what rio has done. I mean, look at the world cup years ago. The economy when they got world cup and the olympics, the economy was strong as can be. And then the bottom falls out, they somehow manage to pull off the world cup and theyre towing a great job pulling off the olympics. You cant control everything. If youre out in the outer limits of the city and in a taxicab coming back from a party in the wee hours of the morning, these things can happen in any city. Billy bush, always great to see you, my friend. Thank you so much. And by the way, hats off to kit. Did she shoot that interview . Reporter she did. Were like bern were like woodward and bernstein. Were renegade journalists on the move. Yeah, im not going to ask you which is which, but that was really terrific work by both of you. Thank you so much, billy. Reporter thank you. In the meantime, ryan lochte says he doesnt believe him, but his legendary rival, Michael Phelps, says there is no chance he will change his mind and compete in another olympics. Phelps capped off his final rio competition with, what else, another gold medal. This one in the 400meter medley relay, his fifth gold just these games alone. The 23rd in historic 16year career. This morning on today, phelps talked to matt lauer about his retirement and about his plans for life after the olympics. Four years ago, almost to the day, we sat in london, and you said to me when i asked you if you were going to keep swimming, you said done, done, done. Youre going to get the same response here. Done, done, done. And this time, i mean. I think like we talked earlier in the year, i wanted to come back and finish my career how i wanted. And this was a cherry on top of the cake that i wanted. This is the part of my life where i get to start this whole new chapter, and its continuing to build a family with nicole, and continue to travel, continue to change the sport of swimming in some way that i can. I i really want to try to not only in the u. S. , but also change, you know, the drowning rate that we have. Thats something that is a big goal of mine. We have been able to teach thousands of kids. But i want the numbers higher. So we have a full plate and a full schedule of things. And i still have goals. Reporter phelps isnt going to disappear. I thought one of the most interesting answers he was asked at a press conference after his final race, where do you keep all those medals . And he said only two or three people in the world know that and im not telling you. Still to come from rio, republicans turning up the pressure on donald trump to shape up or get out, with just 85 days left until the election. Ishere still time for the nominee to win over easy republicans . Stay with us. Here i am. Building a jet engine. Weve been hearing so much about how youre a digital company, so you can see our confusion. Ge is an Industrial Company that actually builds worldchanging machines. Machines that can also communicate digitally. Like robots. Did you build that robot . Thats not a robot, thats my coworker earl. He builds jet engines with his human hands. What about that robot . That is a vending machine, ricky. John, give him a dollar. This dog treat called max and dentalife. Covered its really different. See . Its flexible. And it has a chewy, porous texture, full of little tiny air pockets that gives dogs teeth a clean scrub all the way down to the gum line. vo purina dentalife. For life. Im hall of famer jerry west and my life is basketball. But that doesnt stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. Thatd be devastating. I took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about oncedaily xarelto. A latest generation blood thinner. Then i made the switch. Xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. Xarelto® is selective targeting one critical factor of your bodys natural clotting function. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Like all blood thinners, nt op taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take x
