And we welcome you to a special edition, split edition of today on a monday morning. Savannah is in the land down under, sydney, australia, where it all began. Savannah, good morning. Reporter good morning. I should say good evening. Its 9 00 at night here in sydney. We have a beautiful evening. Not a bad view, right . You saw it as the show opened. You see the magnificent sydney harbor bridge, the largest harbor in the world. We also have the famous opera house all lit up. Oh, and look there, matt. A giant banner as this wonderful country welcomes me back. I always dreamed of coming back, and i want you to know we had a great visit. We visited the hospital, the very room where i was born. And i asked about that banner. Its about 100 feet. It can be folded up, rolled up. Im going to put it in my suitcase. A little souvenir. I want to know how you got it in the overhead compartment on the way over there. Oh, you. Well talk to you in a little while. Lets begin with our top story, breaking news out of texas. Overnight two gunmen killed following a shootout outside a controversial event showcasing drawings of the Prophet Muhammad. This morning officials are looking into reports of a possible, possible link to isis. Nbcs jacob rascons in garland, texas. Jacob, whats the latest . Reporter matt, good morning. It was a long night in garland, texas. And right now a team of fbi agents is still on the scene from overnight. About 50 yards behind me, combing through what is left of the gunmens car. We now know they were roommates living in phoenix. There are s. W. A. T. And fbi teams on the scene there as well. The investigation is really only just beginning. Inaugural muhammad art exhibition. Reporter organizers call it had a free speech event. 10,000 for the best cartoon depicting the muslim Prophet Muhammad. Some 200 people in attendance and a heavy Police Presence. Just as the event was wrapping up, two men opened fire on the building, shooting unarmed Security Officer bruce joyner in the ankle. Police fired back, killing both attackers. Police officers that were nearby saw what was happening and engaged the two men and shot and killed them there at the scene. Reporter the Moment Police alerted the crowd captured on video. We have independent law. Who . Shots have been fired. Okay, shots just got fired. We dont know that for a fact. Reporter while outside witnesses say they heard the shots. We heard a bunch of popping. We thought it was fireworks. My wifes, like, no, thats gunshots. Reporter Police Rushed attendees inside and evacuated surrounding businesses. A Police Officers been shot. Two suspects have been shot. Possibly have explosives on them, okay . Reporter the bomb squad searched the gunmens car for explosives as helicopters watched from above. The fbi assisting local police. A tweet sent out 20 minutes before the shooting with the texasattack might have been a warning, though thats unconfirmed. According to reports, the same account which has since been suspended previously posted a series of messages supporting islamic extremeism including isis. The controversial event sponsored by the American Freedom defense initiative. Its president writing after the attack, quote, this is war. This is a war on free speech. The motive and religion of the gunmen is still not known for sure. And a local prominent muslim leader tweeted right after the attack, quote, the community of muslims stayed away from this. This seems like a lone wolf attack, exactly what we did not want to happen. Matt . Jacob rascon, thank you very much. As a former senior fbi official, nbc news analyst don ba barelli has inside. Good morning. Good morning. We dont know who they are yet. That tweet, quote, texas attack did come out 20 minutes beforehand. Now we know texasattack is gaining attraction and popularity among supporters of isis online. What jumps out at you . Well, i would want to know how much ahead of time did that hashtag start getting traction . Is it all after the shooting so isis is trying to claim credit after the attack . Or was there some information out there online that might have given investigators some lead as to, you know, an attack was nent. One of the things that jumps at me, these guys opened fire on the building where this event was taking place. A Security Guard was injured in the leg. Were happy about that. But i go back to Charlie Hebdo back in january, and those two gunmen carried out their attack on those offices with military precision. They had a high level of training. We dont think thats the case here. It doesnt appear so. I mean, i remember from the Charlie Hebdo attack, those guys moved tactically. They reloaded weapons. They, in my opinion, did some reconnaissance of the target. This seems to be a bit more ad hoc, if you will, maybe not as much planning and the fact that it was over in 15 seconds, i think, speaks to the level of competency. Because of the controversial nature of this event where it was basically a contest, people were drawing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad for prize money, Police Presence was heavy. Would the Counterterrorism Community have been playing close attention to this as well . Absolutely. I mean, the keynote speaker was on an al qaeda hit list. And in light of what happened in copenhagen and in paris, the fbi, the local police would have a presence. They would be canvassing sources for any information before the event to try to figure out if something might be imminent and monitoring any threats. Monitoring any threats and clearly the increased Police Presence was warranted and the actions appear to be, you know, right on point. In this situation. Don borelli, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Meantime, turning to politics. And this is a big and this is a big day in the next president ial race. The gop field getting even bigger. Former hewlettpackard ceo Carly Fiorina declaring her candidacy just this morning with a video on her campaign website. And it featured a familiar face, hillary clinton. Im running for president. Our founders never intended us to have a professional political class. They believed that citizens and leaders needed to step forward. We know the only way to reimagine our government is to reimagine who is leading it. Fiorina served as a campaign surrogate for john mccain during his 2008 president ial race. Very familiar face. Some other news in that area, also entering the republican race today, famed neurosurgeon dr. Ben carson. He is the first africanamerican to join the 2016 field. Hes never held public office, but he did rise to conservative prominence after criticizing president obamas Health Care Policies at an event in 2013 with the president just a few feet away. The 63yearold expected to formally announce his candidacy in his hometown of detroit a little bit later today. Now, of course, theres still big names like jeb bush and Chris Christie who have yet to officially throw their hats in the ring as well. On the democratic side, its all about hillary clinton. Shes been drawing criticism over certain donations to her familys charitable foundation. And in an nbc news exclusive, bill clinton is answering those critics. Nbcs Cynthia Mcfadden went one on one with the former president. Cynthia, good morning to you. Reporter good morning from nairobi, matt. As Hillary Clintons campaign for the white house intensifies, so does the criticism of the foundation that bears her name and that of her husband and her daughter. She stepped down from a role at the foundation when she announced she was running, but some have questioned whether her independence was compromised by the foundations large foreign donors. Ive come to africa to see the work of the foundation and to talk to bill clinton about the criticism. Former president bill clinton is making no apologies as he tours some of the african programs his foundation has raised billions to help fund. I dont think theres anything sinister in trying to get wealthy people in countries that are seriously involved in development to spend their money wisely in a way that helps poor people and lifts them up. I dont think theres anything bad with that. I think its good. Reporter but his wifes run for president has triggered a new level of scrutiny and criticism. Theres been a very deliberate attempt to take the foundation down. And there is almost no new fact thats known now that wasnt known when she ran for president the first time. Reporter he tells me 90 of the donors give 100 or less. But its whos giving the big money thats causing the headache. Over half of the donors giving 5 million or more are foreign. Many of them foreign governments. Under mounting pressure, the foundation recently announced it will only take money from six western countries. Is that an acknowledgment that it was a mistake not to stop the other foreign donations before your wife ran for president . No absolutely not. Its an acknowledgment that were going to come as close as we can during her president ial campaign to following the rules we followed when she became secretary of state. Reporter he defended the 10 to 25 million given by saudi arabia. I dont think that i did anything that was against the interests of the united states. Reporter do you understand, though, that the perception itself is a problem . No. Reporter you dont . Look, i dont want to get into the weeds here. Im not responsible for anybody elses perception. I asked hillary about this. She said no ones ever tried to influence me by helping you. No one has even suggested they have a shred of evidence to that effect. Reporter but even while the criticism at home rumbles, the heartwarming stories here in africa are undeniable. Like here at the Starkey HearingFoundation Program for 150 children and adults will get hearing aids today. You look like you know what youre doing. Ive done these in uganda, zambia. Reporter this little boy will hear for the first time. Good . Good. Okay. Reporter much of the work is far from glamorous. At a clinic in nairobi, Chelsea Clinton witnessed the use of a zinc and rehydration packet to treat the second leading killer of children, diarrhea. Reporter you got about a million of these. We did. We bought a million if you donated to the government. Theres never been anything like this where you raised over 100 billion worth of stuff thats helped 430 Million People in 180 countries. Reporter if hes troubled by the controversy swirling back at home, there is no indication of it here. These are some of nairobis poorest kids. A sampling of the 10,000 who are now attending high School Thanks to commit amments made to the clinton global initiative. My dream is now real. Reporter the program has been a whopping success. 98 graduate. 94 go on to college. In africa, hes greeted as if hes still president. And if you close your eyes, you might think youre right back on the campaign trail as he tries to shrink the gulf between himself and regular folks. When i was born, my mother was a widow. I once lived on a farm that had no indoor toilet. Reporter you certainly didnt grow up wealthy, but youve become a wealthy man. I have. Yes. And one of the most amusing things of all is everybodys saying, well, how can hillary possibly relate to the terms of middleclass america . Because now we have money. I mean, its laughable. Its okay if you inherit your money, apparently, then you can help people. Im grateful for our success, but let me remind you, when we moved into the white house, we had the lowest net worth of any family since harry truman. Reporter when you left, you had 14 million in legal bills. Or more. Thats okay. We paid them. And weve been very fortunate. Reporter over the years hes made a lot of money giving speeches. While his wife was secretary of state, he gave 11 of them which paid him 500,000 or more. I give 10 of my revenue off the top every year to the foundation. And hillary, in the year she was there, gave 17. Over the last twoen years, ive taken almost no capital gains. I give 10 to pay my bills reporter working americans say 500,000 for a speech . But why shouldnt every its the most independence i can get. Its i dont if i had a business relationship buddy, they would have a target on their back from the day they did business with me till the end. Any kind of disclosure is a target. But it looks bad. Theres no facts, of course, but it looks bad. I work hard on this. I spend a couple hours a day just doing the research. People like to hear me speak. And i have turned down a lot of them. If i think theres something wrong with it, i dont take it. And i do disclose who gave it to them. Reporter so shes now running for president. Will you continue to give speeches . Oh, yeah. Ive got to pay our bills. Reporter if your wife is elected president , will you step down from the foundation . Well, if its the right thing to do, i i will. Reporter why might you step down . Well, if i were asked to do something in the Public Interest that i had an obligation to do, or i might take less of an executive role. I mean, my work, im involved in this, you can see. So i might do that. But well cross that bridge when we come to it. Reporter until then, there are many more people to help and lots more money to raise. Bill clinton says he trusts the American People to see the good work the foundation has done for 15 years and to realize the criticism is political. Hes off to liberia today to meet with ebola survivors and to see the work of the foundation there. Matt . All right, Cynthia Mcfadden, thank you. A very candid interview with former president bill clinton. Shell have more of that interview with president clinton tonight on nbc nightly news. Meantime, natalies got more on an unexpected move tied to the protests in baltimore. Good morning, everyone. Baltimores citywide curfew was lifted last night, six days of athe violent riots in the wake of freddie grays death. Six officers were charged in his death. Our tom costello is in baltimore with more. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Theres a real sense here in baltimore that the city may have finally turned the corner after the violence weve seen over the past week or so. Over the weekend we saw hundreds, even thousands, of people peacefully demonstrating really a cardable atmosphere at times, but they are determined, they say, to hold the Police Department and city accountable for freddie grays death. Since the protests turned violent, the Police Department reports 486 people were arrested. 200 businesses lost. 113 different officers injured. But things were peaceful enough over the weekend that the mayor did indeed lift the curfew. We also saw the National Guard starting to pull out. Restaurants reopening here. As you know, those six officers who were connected to grays arrest themselves now are charged in connection with his death. Theres talk in legal circles and among some prosecutors around the country that maybe this prosecutor overreached, that she may have a hard time proving this case against the officers and that, in fact, she doesnt have a whole lot of evidence and maybe this is more meant to appease the protesters than, in fact, to actually get a conviction. But the officers First Court Appearance is set for later this month. Natalie, back to you. Tom costello in baltimore, thank you. A shooting that left four people dead and another person wounded in wisconsin appears to have been a random act. Police say a man went on a shooting spree on a pedestrian bridge sunday night. The shooter is among the dead. The surviving victim is listed in critical condition. Nepals government is urging foreign rescue workers in the earthquakeravaged capital to return home, saying the major rescue work in kathmandu has been completed. Meantime, u. S. Military aircraft arrived in nepal on sunday as part of a u. S. Relief operation. A helicopter and four ospreys will be used to reach remote areas. And another incredible story of survival. A 101yearold man was rescued from the rubble of his home in one of the villages devastated in the earthquake, and he had just minor injuries. And some eck braing news out of london this morning. We finally have a name. Will and kate have named their adorable Little PrincessCharlotte Elizabeth diana. And shell be known as her Royal HighnessPrincess Charlotte of cambridge. Charlotte, of course, a nod to her grandfather, Prince Charles. As for the middle names, elizabeth, of course, in honor of the babys greatgrandmother, queen elizabeth, and diana is williams mother. Much more coming up on the new name and the new royal in the next half hour. And a look this morning at a home run from a whole new point of view when Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman aaron hill belted a home run at dodgers stadium this weekend. Dodgers fan bobby crosby was there to catch it. But what makes this one even better, he caught the moment from his point of view. Take a look. His own video camera there. And this is what it looked like as it made it into his h
