0 happened to be nearby the scene not arrived so quickly. it happened here at this martin super market in elkhart indiana. it ended with multiple fatalities. >> we live in that world. there's not a day goes by where we're not learning of a school shooting or at a bids. we hoped this would never come to our hometown. >> he came into the deli and opened fire killing two women, a store employee and a shopper. their bodies found ten store aisles apart from one another. >> the area where the shootings happened in the store are basically from one end of the store to the next. >> police race to the scene. that's when officers say the shooter turned his gun on them. >> they saw a subject there that pointed a gun at them. they fired on the subject. we believe they hit the subject. the subject is deceased. >> police have not identified the gunman or the victims. and police found, again, a large knife and a semi-automatic handgun next to the body of the suspect. we're still waiting to find out who he is and why he decided to go on this deadly rampage. >> so scary. that is right near where i grew up. a lot of questions remaining. so we have to talk about a truly scary scandal rocking the air force this morning. take a look at this unsettling number we have right here. 34 officers were said to be involved in a scheme to cheat on a pro efficiency exam. 16 of these officers were caught sharing answers to the test that allows them to take on this very dangerous role. when you see those numbers, joe, does not make you feel good. >> that's true. good morning, kate. it's the biggest scandal of its kind in air force history. now the pentagon is scrambling to get to the bottom of it as quickly as they can. in the nuclear weapons business, there's no room for sloppiness or miss behavior among the people who have their finger on the triggers of the u.s. arsenal. it started with a probe into illegal drug possession but led investigators to an air force cheating scandal. nearly three dozen airmen. some cheated on a pro efficiency test last august in september. all involved have been desert find and restricted from miss l crew duty. the cheating was accomplished using text messages. >> this is absolutely unacceptable behavior and it is completely contrary to our core values in the air force. as everybody here knows the number one core value for us is integrity. >> there's a long list of scandals. just last month, an air force major was fired because he drank too much and got into trouble in russia. and in the nuclear arsenal business where there's no room for error, a little thing like napping on the job is a major security issue. the defense secretary recently visited one of the missle bases. >> how important your work is, how we depend on your professionalism and how you do your work. >> and it's not just the air force. a navy vice admiral was removed from command after being implicated in a gambling investigation. the dod personnel assigned have suffered from burnout and been involved in domestic violence. but they say cheating must be dealt with as a question of character. >> this is unethical behavior and it gets right to the core of the culture of this group. >> the air force has now begun the process of retesting all 600 of its launch officers. one expert said there is a question whether the rigorous standards somehow set them up to fail. >> thank you. new this morning, president obama is preparing to reign in the nsa. the question is, how much. tomorrow he's expected to announce new limits on the spy agency's reach. he will call for greater oversight, but keep in place many of the programs that have raised privacy concerns. jim, what do we know. >> well, it's been eight months since edward snowden revealed it. now a little more than 24 hours, we'll know exactly how far the president will go. you'll remember the president convened a reform panel. it recommended some 46 changes to the program, but it's becoming clear he will not accept many of those recommendations. the headline, the bulk collection of phone metadata will continue and the panel did not recommend to stop it. but there is a record the president will not accept the recommendation that that data be held by private phone companies rather than the nsa. the phone companies didn't want to hold the data, they're fearing lawsuits. the court reviews searches of the data. he also may set limits on spying on foreign leaders and direct his aides to negotiate agreements with allies on what spying is acceptable among friends and what is not. you remember how much trouble it caused and controversy when we revealed we were spying on our alle alleys. i want you to take a listen to this. >> the security was inadequate and should have been beefed up. >> that is the chair of the senate intelligence committee talking about a bipartisan report fromming from her panel that concluding the attack that killed four americans in benghazi libya could have been prevented. the report cites them for failing to communicate and respond to warnings about terrorist activities. we are live in our washington bureau with the very latest. >> good morning kate, the committee really spreads the blame across the u.s. government, but saves the most stinging for the state department for failing to secure its admission. >> the deadly attack could have been prevented. that's according to a damming report by the city intelligence committee. >> we know there were concerns. we know there were training carps around that area. >> the 85-page report said the state department didn't connect the dots after reports that forewarned about an attack. >> it is something that i think the state department has to really come to grips with and see that we have 285 missions and embassies. >> the state department says it is already taking steps to do just that. >> we've been clear that we could have done more with security. >> but push back on the notion it missed the warning signs. >> there was no specific threat indicating an attack was coming. >> the pentagon was faulted for not having military assets in the region to respond that night. and the intelligence community took heat too for creating the false impression the attack grew out of a protest. >> what we do know is that the natural protests that aroads because of the -- arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by stream mists. >> among the reports, 18 recommendations, the state department must cut through red tape to quickly act on threats and upgrade security and work with the pentagon and intel engines agencies to identify and prioritize security gaps. more than a year after attack, the obama administration has identified several suspects. but those responsible have still not be brought to justice. the report warns that 15 people cooperating with the fbi investigation have been killed. >> that's one of the more surprising things that's come out recently. thank you so much. >> a lot of other news this morning. let's get to john berman. >> breaking overnight, president obama, another push on senators to hold off on more sanctions against iran. he told a group of democratic senators that passing more sanctions could hamper progress with iran. an interim deal was reached that was criticized by many lawmakers as soft on iran. >> the

condition this morning. officials say he ejected and he was rescued by a civilian fishing vessel. lucky man. the navy is investigating the cause of the crash. >> looks like training came into play there that he ejected in time. time for a check of the weather. >> let's please do. >> nothing too big out here on the east coast. we are talking about light showers thanks to the cold front still making its way through. this is the drier one of the several systems out there. so you can barely see anything on the map. you're going to have extra clouds and maybe a couple sprinkles out there today. this is the one that's currently bringing blizzard conditions out towards the dakotas and minnesota. it's is something we call a ground blizzard. we're talking about not as much snow, but a lot of blowing snow and low visibility thanks to the winds. and then eventually, by the weekend, it will take its time, it will start to bring light flurries and even some rain into the northeast. let's take a look now at the totals. 4 to 6 inches maybe in ohio valley. you get more about 6 to 8 inches. but generally speaking around minnesota, dakotas, only looking for several inches of this. 65 mile
