Baltimore right now is still in a state of emergency, as we speak four buses have pulled up to this intersection in west baltimore, they are carrying state troopers and members of the national guard, dressed today in riot gear preparing for whatever could happen later today. And the Baltimore Sun this morning is reporting quoting sources close to the investigation that gray suffered a serious head injury inside that transport van, with a wound to his head indicating he may have struck a bolt inthe side the back of the vehicle. After what had been a day of largely peaceful protests in philadelphia, demonstrators briefly clashed with police late thursday, as officers tried to keep them from turning onto the highway. It was just one of many protests in baltimore, and cities around the country overnight. As Baltimore Police this morring are facing additional scrutiny after a stunning admission. The van transporting freddie gray made a previously undisclosed stop here outside a Small Grocery store. The new stop Officials Say coming to light from video discovered from a private surveillance camera. The revelation raises more questions about what happened to 25yearold gray while he was in Police Custody. States attorney is conducting an independent investigation, and reviewing the updated timeline to determine whether any of the six officers involved should face criminal charges. Gray was arrested here, then at this first stop he was shackled and put back in the van. The previously undisclosed stop outside a Grocery Store was the second stop. At a third stop the vans driver called for another officer to check on gray. Then a fourth stop here to pick up a second prisoner. Wbal Investigative Reporter jane miller. By the time the van makes that stop to pick up that prisoner, our sources tell us mr. Gray was unresponsive. Reporter the second prisoner says he never saw gray and he was put in a separate compartment. He didnt know there was another prisoner until he briefly heard him. He went straight to the Police Station. All i heard was banging. Four seconds. Reporter the van drove to its final delsty nation, the Western District Police Station. Paramedics were called to treat gray. Still unclear exactly what caused grays death. Were aware whats in the autopsy and the autopsy contains no evidence that mr. Gray was banging his head on his own against anything. Reporter the commissioner here in baltimore says that the curr fee has been extended through this weekend. The governor of the state sells he doesnt want to alarm anybody but he added we still believe there is a real potential for more violence and more danger over the weekend. Well be here. Back to you. Thank you, peter. Breaking news that could have an impact on the president ial race. The bridgegate scandal that followed new Jersey Governor Chris Christie for about a year and a half now is headed to court with a plea deal and indictment expected. Nbcs Stephanie Gosk has been working the phones on this. Good to have you here. Good morning. Good morning. Later this morning a onetime krilsty ally official David Wildstein is expected to plead guilty for unspecified charges related to the traffic scandal in september 2013 when commuters, emergency workers and school buses were trapped on the George Washington bridge for hours. Multiple reports have named wildstein as well as christies former deputy chief of staff as the key architect of the traffic shutdown believed to be used as a form of political payback against the ft. Lee mayor. Governor krilsty denies knowledge but the scandal occurred when he was considered a frontrunner for the republican president ial nomination. And following it, his Approval Ratings in new jersey and nationwide took a considerable hit. Question this morning is how many more indictments are coming against kelly or any other former staffer from the governors office. Still more to find out. Thanks very much. Remind people that we sat down with governor christie a couple weeks ago and asked how he would feel if some of his closest former advisers are indicted. Take a look. I cant feel worse than its felt already. The disappointment happens 15 months ago, matt. So it cant feel any worse. I mean i feel like i was let down, and i know that people judged me in a very, very difficult way. Because i have to be accountable for the things that happen on my watch. Again that was a couple weeks ago in new hampshire. The story taking another turn this morning. Steph, thank you. Were getting a brand new look at the devastation from that massive earthquake in nepal. Youve got to see this. Its a remarkable view from a drone revealing what survivors and emergency crews are facing, nbcs Miguel Almaguer is in nepal. Good morning. Reporter matt and tamron, good morning. Were coming to you from well outside of kathmandu, were not far from the epicenter of this massive 7. 8 earthquake, this is representative of so much of the countrys two thirds of this region is farming land. This is where many say humanitarian aid and government help has been slow to reach. In some areas the stench of dead bodies and animals is a clear sign there is much work to be done. While villagers are pleading for help the death toll in the country nearly a week since that massive quake, has spiked above 6,000. One Government Official says it could reach 15,000. In all this quake has affected 2. 8 Million People, 600,000 home, many in cities and urban areas, have been damaged or destroyed. The countrys finance minister says that this nation will need over 2 billion to start to rebuild. Theres so much rubble here, debris piled two to three stories tall. In some communities like this they say help has yet to arrive. Many saying they need aid, food and water. The government being criticized as many humanitarian aid missions are still pouring in all across the country. Tamron and matt. Thank you. What an inthe credible Vantage Point that drone provides. Things we wouldnt otherwise see. Meantime, this next story sounds like out of the middle ages. Were talking about an outbreak of the plague, the cdc releasing information this morning about a case out in colorado, a dog became infected last july and then passed the disease on to its owner. Three other people were also infected in what could be the first cases spread persontoperson in this country in nearly 100 years. Nbcs medical contributor has been looking into this. Good morning to you. Good morning. The word plague strikes fear in the hearts of people who know that millions have died throughout history. What is the plague . The plague is an infection caused by a bacteria which youll see a number of cases in our country every year. There are still more predominant cases in third world countries as we speak. Its not eradicated organism. This dog apparently became infected with this bacteria, was coughing up blood. Yes. Its owner became infected and then we understand passed it on to others. How easy is it to transmit human to human . The way it was transmitted ostensibly from human to human would have been through respiratory droplets. What we think is that the dog infected his owner, and the dog probably infected the vet it is taking care of the dog. We know that animal to human transmission is the normal way it is transmitted and that happens all the time. Whether or not the other close contact of that index case got infected from the person versus the dog is still to be decided or determined but we think its plausible it might have happened. Yet, we know there are treatments available now to at least contain it. Absolutely. A number of classes of antibiotics work. Thanks very much. Sha snell here with developments out of the porg.
