And the major update tonight on that flukilling drug that works in just one day. Where patients may soon be getting it. And good evening. Thanks for joining us on this sunday. Im tom llamas. We begin with a deadly tornado outbreak. As powerful storms strike millions. This tornado caught on camera in kentucky, at least 12 confirmed twisters touching down overnight. You can see there, rooftops ripped from homes. An rv knocked over by powerful winds, and trees uprooted. Tornado warning in four states in the midwest, stretching east. So far, at least four fatalities reported. Marcus moore gets us started from the storm zone in
tennessee. Reporter a tornado outbreak in americas heartland. 12 twisters touching down, some of them in the dead of night. The metal from the barn took off, and the windows busted out. Reporter watch how quickly a twister can spin into a destructive force. Severe weather now being blamed for at least four deaths. Daylight revealing a 750mile stretch of damage from kentucky to dallas. This, in clarksville, tennessee. Cars destroyed, roofs torn off, debris scattered throughout entire neighborhoods. The ef2 tornado packing winds up to 120 miles per hour, leaving a gaping hole in steven colemans house. The roof from this house . Yes. Came across and knocked down those walls. Reporter his wife, home alone when the twister barreled through. The house started shaking and she said it was like two to three freight trains coming through. Reporter parts of arkansas getting over 12 inches of rain overnight, with winds up to 70 miles per hour. This is some of the damage these violent winds left here in kaizer. Look at this, this is actually
part of a roof that peeled away when the storm blew through, now debris is strewn about. Tammy mccarn had only minutes to take shelter. We heard a really loud noise and it almost sounded like the roof was coming off of our house. Reporter the Cooper Family hid in their bathtub. Not enough time to be scared, just time enough to run to the bathroom. Reporter the same storm system flooding parts of indiana and swallowing cars in missouri and prompting more than 100 water rescues in kentucky overnight. Some rescue operations still under way tonight. Marcus, joining us live from tennessee. Destruction everywhere you look. But amazingly, everyone survived in that neighborhood . Reporter it is astonishing, especially when you look at the cars covered with white insulation. What else is remarkable is the army of volunteers weve seen helping clear the debris in the neighborhood. And this is an act of service for this neighborhood made of mostly veterans or service
members stationed at ft. Campbell, nearby. Marcus, thank you. Next tonight, the gun debate raging across the country in the wake of the Florida School massacre. With pressure mounting, President Trump signaling a willingness to make some changes on age restrictions and bump stocks. But its unclear if meaningful reform is a possibility. Stephanie ramos is in washington. Reporter tonight, President Trump and the National Rifle association, the closest of allies. At odds about what to do in the wake of the Deadly Florida high school massacre. It doesnt seem to make sense that you have to wait until youre 21 years old to get a pistol, but to get a gun like this maniac used in the school, you get that at 18. I mean, that doesnt make sense, and frankly i explained that to the nra. Reporter but the nra is pushing back against any calls to raise the age limit to buy an ar15 semiautomatic rifle like the one used in florida and many
other deadly mass shootings. Let me just the position is, you do not want to raise the age . Thats what the nra came out and said. Thats correct. Reporter another point of contention, banning bump stocks like the one used in the deadly Las Vegas Concert rampage that killed 58 people. The president repeating in a phone interview he supports the ban. But tonight nra spokeswoman dana loesch, clear on the groups opposition to that proposal. The nra doesnt back any ban. Reporter one proposal they have seen eye to eye on, securing schools. The president calling for some teachers to be armed. If they would have had concealed permits, you wouldnt have this problem today. Reporter but this teacher who survived the Florida Shooting speaking out against that proposal. I would definitely say not. Having Something Like this in the vicinity is not a good idea. Reporter the nra facing fierce backlash. Over the weekend, delta and United Airlines joining more than a Dozen Companies that
severed their relationship with the organization. I wish as much attention was given to the sheriff and their abdication of duty. Reporter President Trump insisted congress will respond legislatively to the Florida School shooting. But when lawmakers return tomorrow, they have no immediate plans to vote on any gun legislation. Stephanie, thank you. As the debate continues in washington, students in florida are returning to Stoneman Douglas high school. Parents and children invited to an orientation on School Grounds today. Many still shaken after the massacre nearly two weeks ago. This coming as pressure builds for local Law Enforcement to explain their actions before and during the massacre. Heres kenneth moton. Reporter tonight, a sea of strength and support, thousands of students and parents making their way back into the halls of Stoneman Douglas high school. My son is stronger than i am. Reporter with classes set to resume, their concern, security. Im sending him back on wednesday with no progression on gun control or school safety. So hes going in to the same situation on the 14th, nothing is different. Reporter did you ever think you would have to look for emergency exits in your own school . No. Never would i have thought this would happen here. Reporter parkland trying to move forward as the demand for answers intensifies. 74 gop state lawmakers sending a letter to Florida Governor rick scott urging him to suspend Broward County sheriff scott israel, who is a democrat, accusing him and his department of ignoring repeated warning signs about the suspected shooter nikolas cruz. Today at the governors request the States Department of Law Enforcement launched an investigation into the shooting response. I can only take responsibility for what i knew about. Reporter before the rampage, deputies responded to 18 calls related to cruz. Two of them were not sure if
our deputies did everything they could have or should have. Reporter the sheriff also investigating reports from nearby Coral SpringsPolice Officers who responded to the school. The claim, that several deputies were waiting instead of rushing in during the shooting. The schools resource officer scot peterson, allegedly seen on video taking cover, has already resigned. Our investigation to this point shows that during this horrific attack there was only one Law Enforcement person period and that was former deputy scot peterson. Peterson, the School Resource officer who has since resigned. Kenneth, students are expected to return to class on wednesday . Reporter thats right. Students will have a halfday, because this week is all about providing emotional support. To get them comfortable inside the school. But building 12, where the massacre happened, will never be used again. The superintendent says it will be torn down, and the school will likely build a Memorial Park for the 17 killed. Kenneth, thank you. And President Trump now slamming the newly declassified democratic memo on the russia probe that rebuts the gop document released weeks ago. This, coming as the russia investigation enters a critical new week. Heres david wright. Reporter tonight, the debate over the newly declassified memo on the russia probe, written by the ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff, has descended to schoolyard taunts. Hes a bad guy. But certainly the memo was a nothing. Reporter President Trump not just calling fox news. But misquoting the network, too. On twitter, the president attributes this quote to fox news. Congressman schiff omitted and distorted key facts. But listen closely to what the fox News Reporter actually says. Congressman schiff, he argues the republican memo omits and distorts key facts. Reporter trumps tweet omits key words and distorts the meaning. Trump called schiff a total phony. Today schiff shot back a taunt of his own, wait a minute, mr. President. Am i a phony, or sleazy, a monster or little . Surely you know the key to a good playground nickname is consistency. I thought you were supposed to be good at this. Schiffs memo is a pointbypoint rebuttal of a republican memo released weeks ago. That document, written by congressman devin nunes, accuses the department of justice of basing their requests for a wiretap on a Trump Campaign associate on the unverified dossier compiled by former british spy christopher steele, and paid for by the clinton campaign. To have a secret court that gets abused like this is totally unacceptable. Reporter but the schiff memo insists, doj provided Additional Information obtained through multiple independent
sources that corroborated steeles reporting. Now, look right below that assertion. Whatever that corroborating evidence might have been is now blacked out. Redacted for national security. Im not surprised that the white house didnt like it and tried to bury it because it reveals evidence that goes to the issue of collusion. Reporter tonight, the president and first lady host a ball at the white house for the nations governors. Theyre in town for their annual meeting. Tomorrow, a business session with the governors. Among the topics theyre going to discuss, guns. David, thank you. Next tonight, to pyeongchang where the olympics may be over, but questions about a diplomatic breakthrough are not.

Just moments after ivanka trump took her seat barely an arms length away from north koreas powerful spy chief in that fur hat, north koreas leader kim jongun labeling the tough new u. S. Sanctions against the north an act of war. Those sanctions, which the Administration Calls the toughest yet, include the possibility of a u. S. Naval blockade of north korea. Were going to continue a campaign of maximum pressure. Reporter but just minutes later, with those dancers and lights still dazzling the crowd, a surprise diplomatic twist. North korea saying it would be willing to meet with the u. S. Delegation. It would have been the highest level talks in nearly a decade. So far that hasnt happened, and ivanka trump is set to leave the region overnight. Is there anything to talk about with the north . Would there be anything to talk about . Until we see some movement, the denuclearization of the
peninsula, then theres really not a lot for us to to talk about or the conversation would change in any dramatic fashion. Reporter there has been more intrigue at these games. Officials believe the russian cyber spies have hacked systems here, making it look like north korea did it. Analysts here tell us this could be payback over russia being banned from these games over doping. Tom . Hacking even at the olympics. Matt, thank you.
