Line and now a fit as officers step in to prevent a local bakery from going bust. Nightly news begins now. Announcer from nbc news World Headquarters in new york, this is nbc nightly news. Reporting tonight, Thomas Roberts. Good evening. 39 Million People in a dozen states are at risk of Severe Weather and flooding this weekend. Floods have claimed three lives in texas. That state bracing for more potential thunderstorms over the next 48 hours. All of this as the east coast braces for the impact of newlynamed Tropical Storm bonnie with sustained winds at 70 miles per hour. We begin with Janet Shamlian in texas. Reporter Lightning Strikes across Southeast Texas and days of torrential rain, triggering flash flooding and heroics like this, Police Officers brave rising waters to save a woman from her sinking car. No holiday for homeowners like jennifer and daughter ray lynn who could leave their house only by boat. We are surrounded by water. Reporter so are many as creeks spilled over the banks. The Sheriffs Department has had plenty of practice performing these rescues. It was just last month that the houston area saw this flooding. Its never been like this. Reporter more than 50 children had to spend the night with teachers in the Elementary School due to floodwaters. Parents were able to pick them up today. It took the toll on everybody in the community. Reporter severe storms and heavy rail tore through wichita kansas city where a 11yearold boy is missing after fall into a fastmoving creek and debris swept through another town. And i turned and you could see debris going like this in the air. Reporter tonight in texas, heart break for the family of Darin Mitchell who a haunting Facebook Post from inside of his submerged truck. All i wanted to do was go home. And the toll is rising tonight. Three are now dead, four missing and dozens of rescues. And while some of the hardest hit areas could see more rain, here the water is receding, meaning on this Holiday Weekend many will be doing the work of cleanup. Thomas, back to you. Rough 48 hours ahead. Janet, thank you so much. The threat of Severe Weather is far from over witha newly named Tropical Storm churning in the atlantic. And with the tropical season still four days away, mike seidel is following it for us in myrtle beach, south carolina. Mike, good evening. Hi, thomas, we wont see the kind of rain that janet showed us in texas but rain is one of the impacts of bonnie moving on shore tomorrow morning. One of them is behind me, the elevated surf and the rip currents. The depression is elevated and upgraded the Tropical Storm and moving at the coast at 10 miles per hour. But it is very dig organized so we expect little additional strengthening. It will slow down and weaken. Right now maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour. Because it is moving slowly over the next several days meandering across the carolinas, the rainfall is going to add up. Were talking about local amounts of one to three inches. Right now no flash flood watches posted. That is between now and memorial day. And those in the northeast where it was hot today, boston a record high of 92 and the clouds and rain down here will roll up the coast tomorrow and monday and wet by memorial day and following a stellar day from ocean city, maryland to cape cod, this afternoon, with hundreds of thousands on the beaches, some of the clouds and rain you see here in myrtle beach, thomas, will be part of the forecast, tomorrow on memorial day up the coast and that will knock back the temperatures and send a lot of folks back into their hotel rooms by memorial day. Not the perfect weekend that so many were hoping for this unofficial start of summer. [000 04 59;00] you, sir. A lot of concern about Airport Security delays as the long Holiday Weekend began. So take a look at this. The scene at Denver International airport as a huge crowd waited for clearance through security. But at other airports, including l. A. X. , there were few delays reported. And as weve been reporting, the tsa is facing criticism for weeks over long waits endured by passengers at certain airports. Tonight it remains a mystery why a vintage plane from world war ii plunged into the hudson between new york and new jersey and killing the pilot. Today nearly 24 hours after the crash the plane was pulled from the water which might provide critical clues of why it fell out of the sky. Here is Morgan Radford with the latest. Reporter it happened in an in stand. Caught on camera, a pilot preparing for a memorial day airshow crashed as bystanders watched in horror. We saw a trail of spoke go right for the water and that is when i knew it was a plane crash. Into the water and disappear. Reporter the 56yearold pilot bill goerld sent a distress signal indicating a possible mechanical failure before diving nose first into the river. Police spent hours trying to find him and today lifting his plane from the water and transferring it to a nearby dock to be inspected. This small vintage world war ii plane was brought into service in 1942 and now surrounded by Authorities Police are looking for clues they could find. The plane is largely still in tact and wings slightly bent and police say they did have to pull the pilots body from the cockpit. Goerld a veteran pilot from key west pictured in the doomed aircraft was taking promotional pictures for the best page airshow. His plane goes down miles from the miracle on the hudson where a u. S. Airways flight landed on the river in 2009 and everyone survived. Back on long island today, he was remembered as a consume at professional. Years ago as one of our pilots and quickly mastered multiple aircraft in our collection and the t40 he was flying yesterday over the hudson. Reporter today his fellow pilots honoring his memory on memorial day weekend. Only a handful of these vintage p47 planes still survive today and Officials Say this airshow will continue as planned this weekend. Meanwhile federal aviation authorities are scouring the wreckage trying to figure out what went wrong. Thomas. Morgan, thank you. It was a chaotic scene late last night in san diego where several dozen people were arrested outside of a donald trump rally. While inside the candidate went on a new attack against a federal judge involved in a lawsuit against him. We get more tonight from katy tur. Reporter clashes on the streets of san diego. Police pushing back protesters. Several thousand turning into a couple dozen holdouts a fight. He said that mexicans are rapists and criminals and that is not true. Reporter inside the convention center, supporters whipped up on immigration. My son was murdered by an illegal invader and he is still driving and he will get your child next. Reporter 20 minutes from mexico, this is the closest trump has been to the border since last july. He promised not a handout, but a handup. Were going to take care of the hispanics, were going to get jobbed. Reporter before ridiculing a federal judge. The judge, who happens to belie mexican, which is fine. Reporter claiming the california judge overseeing the lawsuit over Trump University is biased. So we should have won. Im being railroaded. They should look into the judge. Because what he is doing is a total disgrace. Reporter california is central to the general election campaign. A blue state he said he could turn redy workingclass voters. And central to november, keeping the gop majority in the house and senate, the trump once claimed marco rubio is now urging his former rival to run for senate again in florida. Tomorrow trump will be back in the nations capital. But instead of hop nobbing with the gop establishment, hell be at Rolling Thunder where vets will be sizing up trump. He could say anything and it would sound great. I would like to know what he really believes and i dont know that i will ever know. Reporter the 29th annual biker tour is about honoring veterans, not politicians. On tuesday donald trump will announce where the rest of the money he raised for veterans groups is going. After reporters pressed him for proof that he handed out the 1 million he personally pledged. Thomas. Katy tur for us tonight in san diego. Thanks. As the democrat side looks at Bernie Sanders, who is campaigning all weekend in california, you s ahead of the states primary a week from tuesday. Polls showing a very close race with Hillary Clinton there. And a win by sanders would give him a lifeline to carry his campaign to the Democratic Convention in july. Here is Chris Jansing with the latest. Reporter a determined Bernie Sanders as of today, we have now won primaries and caucuses in 20 states in this country. Reporter on a Campaign Marathon to try to win the california primary. If you dont win california will you drop out . Well, lets not get into speculation. I think we are going to win california and do well in the remaining states. Reporter Sanders Chris crossing california with 15 events in the last seven days, an ambitious goal of getting face time with 2,000 voters by election day. Growing 10,000 in ventura, 7200 in vista and 6,000 this morning in Sanda Barbara on his 28th wedding anniversary. But what might have been the big d debate against donald trump, now off. If you are in first place you dont want to debate a guy in second place. Reporter maybe after realizing the debate over the debate was giving Hillary Clinton cover, taking away from the Inspector General report concluding she violated state department rules by using a private email server. Clinton beefing up her schedule with an eightstop california swing this week as a latest poll now too close to call. And adding stops next week in new jersey, taking no chances in a state shes expected to win. But taking this weekend off in chappaqua. In californias wine country, sanders making a last stand against nearly insurmountable odds but would he accept a Vice President ial slot if offered . What happens the day offer, it appears after it appears im not the nominee, that is subject for further discussion. Reporter but clearly Bernie Sanders isnt ready to settle for second place. In fact, he has already spent 20 days here in california this Campaign Season and a senior aide tells me he may spend every day here between now and june 7th. That would be remarkable because five other states vote that day. Gives new meaning to the phrase california or bust. He will be among chuck todds guests tomorrow morning on meet the press. In paris. 11 children were struck after seeking shelter under a tree from lightning. Tonight a doctor said one child is on life support and three others who were seriously injured are out of immediate danger. A building near the scene was used as a makeshift Treatment Center before it injured were moved to hospitals. And in germany a Lightning Strike at a soccer field hurt three men, one of them was the referee suffered cardiac arrest and then revived. The issue of gun safety when it comes to protecting kids is highlighted after a case in detroit where officials are taking a tough stand when children are accidently shot. As our justice correspondent Pete Williams reports, they are charging adults with serious crimes for failing to keep their guns properly stored. Reporter the facts are heartbreaking. While staying with her grandparents, fiveyearold maria davis of detroit shot herself in her head with a gun she found in the bedroom. The gun was not locked and laying under a pillow. Reporter the grandparents both 65 were charged this week with involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors say they failed in their duty to keep firearms out of young hands. Often the guns are illegally owned and unsecured and most of the time the children know where they are even if parents think they dont. Reporter outside of atlanta last month holston coled in the chest prompting a desperate 911 call from his father. Stay with me. Reporter the county sheriff called it a freak accident and declined to bring charg charges. The centers for Disease Control said on average 65 children under 14 years old die each year in unintentional shootings but the gun control Advocacy Group said it is higher, 88 deaths just last year with 41 children shooting themselves and 47 shooting someone else, mostly another child. The age group that is most at risk of being involved in these incidents are 3yearolds. Barely old enough to know how to say the word gun, let alone know what it is or how to use it. Reporter police say most of the deaths could be prevented if the guns were properly stored or equipped with trigger locks. 14 states make it a crime to store firearms in a way that allows children to get access to them. Prosecutors are now trying to effect. If parents are prosecuted when their children get their hands on gun, maybe future parents will be more careful. Reporter about a third of americas children live in a home where there is a gun and it is at home where most of the accidental shootings happen which is where police say they are so preventible.
