0 when was the last time you remember, have you retraced your steps? yes, i retraced my steps, anderson, and i have even put up a flyer all around headline news and cnn asking for tips and there is a reward for the necklace. on twitter today, as i said, you did accuse me of the theft, and while i do find i didn t accuse you. i just made a suggestion. you suggested it. i just threw the bread upon the water to see what would bite. you re turning red. no, no, for the record, i find it very fetching. i did not take it. do you have any other suspects? don t try to throw me off the scent. don t try to throw me off you, anderson. i have already told you, geragos and toobin, toobin is too much of a straight guy to wear a pair of handcuff necklaces. he would never think to steal like you. now, what about geragos? out of the three of you, i would say that he would be the type to actually steal the necklace. i knew you were going to accuse him. although you re pretty daring. look at his face. if that doesn t scream guilt. where do you get a handcuff necklace, at a regular jewelry store or an s & m dungeon? what is that? what s an s & m dungeon? what will you do if you find the perpetrator of this heinous crime? if i find the thief, they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and i plan to personally put these on him. i got to ask this question. what has more sentimental value, your handcuff necklace or your barrette? well, the barrette s lucey s, my daughter. oh, that s nice. so the barrette. i would have to go with the barrette. hey, hey, hey, don t ask me anything else about what i wear, because next thing i know i m going to turn around and lucey s barrette s going to be gone, anderson. anderson cooper. we re going to stay on it, nancy grace. thank you. good luck to you. anderson, thank you, friend. thank you, friend. let me just say on the record that i promise cnn and ac 360 will devote all of its many resources to this search and i personally, i will stay on this story until the handcuffs are returned to their rightful owner or at least until tomorrow s ridiculist. that s it for us. thank you for watching. early start begins now. breaking news, shots fired at quantico. three people dead including the marine. and a wild texas shoot-out in texas. the suspect may have ties to the colorado prison shoot. the nra takes aim slapping new york state with a lawsuit against its own new gun control. bracket buster in the ncaa tournament. big upset on day one of the big dance. good morning, welcome to early start. i m christine romans. john berman is going to stop by later today. i m zoraida sambolin. it is march 22nd. it is 5:00 a.m. in the east. we begin with breaking news, a fatal shooting leaving three people dead at quantico and it is believed they are all marines. the shooter barricaded himself inside a building. police say he s among the dead after apparently shooting himself. shannon travis is live from quantico, virginia, this morning. shannon, what the very latest? reporter: we are told this is an active crime scene as the investigation is ongoing, but we are told three people are dead, all believed to be marines. the shooter is believed to be a male, the first victim is also believed to be a male, and the second victim, the gender is unclear. now, what actually happened around 11:00 p.m. we are told that a notification went out, that a dispatch was made, that there was a shooting near the officer s candidate school and basically after that the base was essentially on lockdown. a public address went over the loud speakers telling everyone in their homes to stay in hair homes and to lock the doors. from there a first victim was found near the officer s candidate school. shortly after that, they begin to apprehend the shooter. the shooter then went over to a bar rack, basically where the service members fleet, and barricaded himself inside of a room. there was a period of about two hours between the time that the first dispatch call went out about the actual shooting and the time that they actually entered this room where the shooter was. once they entered the room, zoraida, they found the shooter who apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. and another victim, it s unclear how that victim got into the room with the shooter, but that was the second victim that was in there. again, two hours between the time that the dispatch went out about the initial shooting and the time that they actually entered that room. officials tell us that they also tried to make communication between those two hours with the shooter, unclear if they were successful or not. again, officials here are telling us that this is a crime scene, it s an ongoing investigation. one of the things we pressed them on was if there s any chance that any other victims that they have yet to find on base, they said unequivocally no, it is just those three victims mentioned. again, the marines on the base and the officials we spoke to asked everyone to basically pray for them. i know it is an ongoing investigation and we ll get to the motive eventually. shannon travis reporting live, thank you. major new development in the murder of tom clemmons. mr. police are taking a strong look at whether a suspect shot dead by police in texas is the same man wanted in the killing of the colorado prison chief. a man was gunned down after a wild chase in a car similar to one seen leaving the home where clemens was shot dead as he answered the door. we are joined live from decatur, texas, good morning. reporter: good morning. after the high-speed chase yesterday that topped out at times at more than 100 miles per hour, the case here in texas is getting a great deal of attention from those investigators in colorado. this is how a high-speed chase across texas ended. a black cadillac with two colorado license plates smashed by an 18-wheeler, but the crash didn t stop the driver from getting out of the car and firing away at law enforcement officers. he was shot and killed in the firefight. he wasn t planning on being taken alive. i mean, that s obvious, that he was trying to hurt somebody and trying to hurt the police. reporter: the chase started when a sheriff s deputy tried to pull the cadillac over on a remote stretch of texas highway. deputy james boyd was shot twice in the chest, but he was wearing a bullet-proof vest and is expected to survive. that triggered a long high-speed chase. when he came by me, i would say he was probably running 100 miles an hour, just had his left arm out the window and he was just shooting. he shot four times when he passed by my car parked in the median of the highway. reporter: the denver post quoting federal and state officials reporting that the suspect is 28-year-old evan spencer ebell, a parolee from the denver area. they say ebell is the focus of the investigation into the murder of tom evans, the director of the colorado prison system. in a press release thursday night, el paso county investigators in colorado did not deny the accuracy of the reports but instead criticized the leak of evan ebell s name by law enforcement sources. i know there s a lot of rumors going around and people wanting to know if this is connected to the colorado shooting of the director of the prison system. we don t know that it is or it s not. reporter: and in another strange twist, denver police investigators also say there s a strong connection between the driver of the cadillac in texas and the murder of a 27-year-old pizza delivery driver last sunday afternoon. nathan lee i don t knon s body outside of denver and his family is struggling to figure out why anyone would want to kill a young father of three girls delivering pizzas to earn extra money to support his family. since sunday we have just been a total wreck. just when you think you have cried your tears and you can t cry anymore, that s all you do. reporter: so with those two murders in colorado, exactly their connection is not clear at this point, but a great deal of attention from these investigators. investigators from colorado from the el paso, county, area and the denver area have flown down to north texas. we are told by law enforcement officials here in the town of decatur that there s evidence inside that black cadillac that was involved in that high-speed chase here yesterday that would be of great interest to those investigators. but it was hard to get specifics after exactly what they were talking about, but those investigators are now on the ground here in texas combing through the evidence from the high-speed chase yesterday. thank you, ed. new developments in the gun control debate. the national rifle association taking aim at gun control measures in new york suing over the state facts, which strengthens the existing assault weapons ban. the nra affiliate claims the law would push through without public input. it would include a statewide gun registry, uniform licensing standards and seven bullet limit in magazines. many families joined mayor michael bloomberg yesterday and revived the ban on assault weapons. he had a message for lawmakers including democrats who dropped the portion of the gun regulation passage. he says, quote, think about newtown. here s national correspondent joe johns. reporter: with a ban on so-called assault weapons all but dead in the senate according to tom democrat harry reid, the vice president said he s not giving up. i m not going to rest nor is the president until we do all of these things, all of these things. reporter: he told the family of a teacher killed protecting children in the newtown, connecticut, school shooting that the country needs some political backbone. you know, it s time for a political establishment to show the courage your daughter showed. reporter: the father of a 6-year-old also killed at newtown said shame on the congress. i m really ashamed to see that congress doesn t have the guts to stand up and make a change and put a ban on these type of weapons and universal background checks. reporter: from new york s mayor bloomberg a call for public pressure. if you want to make a difference, you ve got to pick up the phone, call your congressperson. reporter: but what happened was no surprise. conservative democrats in the senate up for re-election risk riling up pro-gun forces in an election year if they vote for the ban. democratic supporters like retiring michigan senator carl levin are frustrated do. you think it s worth just having a vote? sure. i think it s important that people express their views and have a chance to vote those views. there are people back home that can judge if aagree or disagree. reporter: bad for democrats. it s not the politics i want to get here. this goes way bond politics. reporter: late thursday harry reid released a statement saying he wants to bring a gun safety bill to the floor after the upcoming recess, including provisions on background checks. he said he also wants a vote on an assault weapons ban amendment. so there appears to be one last chance for the senate to vote on the ban after all. the nra saying they ve always expected there would be a vote on the ban and they say they are prepared for a lot of pressure on senators to pass it. joe johns, cnn, washington. our thanks to joe. later on starting point we ll talk to aurora shooter survivor steven barton who has been working with newtown families in the wake of the massacre. the united nations launched an investigation to find out whether chemical weapons were used in syria s bloody civil war. the assad regime and rebel forces accusing each other of chemical war fair, but u.s. military officials tell cnn their intelligence suggests neither side used those weapons. 183 air traffic control towers on the chopping block. today we learn which ones the faa will shut down. some of the towers are practically brand new. blame the four spending cuts for all of this. the towers handle low to moderate amounts of air traffic and use mostly contract workers as well. a combination of technical and communications breakdowns are blamed for the power loss at the super bowl. the power caused a more than half-hour delay between the baltimore ravens and san francisco 49ers. according to an independent analysis, a design defect in a recently installed relay device caused the power to trip. they had trouble reaching the manufacturer to solve the problem. hopefully it won t happen again. sow, how is that bracket holding up for you? the first full day of the ncaa tournament delivering the first huge upset. 14th seed harvard pulling off a stunner in salt lake city
