WE THANK YOU. WE WANT TO SHOW YOU NOW THE CHILLING SCENE CAUGHT ON CAMERA IN LOWER MANHATTAN TODAY. A FORMER SOLDIER DOUSING THE ENTRANCE OF A FEDERAL BUILDING, THEN SETTING IT ON FIRE. EMILY AQUETA HAS MORE ON THE ARSENAL HE HAD ON HIM. AND WHETHER HE WAS TARGETING ICE. A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INTO THIS TERRIFYING SCENE IN NEW YORK CITY. VIDEO FROM WITNESSES SHOWING A MAN POURING A LIQUID OUTSIDE A FEDERAL BUILDING, HOME TO AN IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS OFFICE, IGNITING A MASSIVE BLAZE.

TO ACTUALLY WITNESS IT WAS DEFINITELY ALARMING. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE SUSPECT IGNITED AN APPARENT BUNDLE OF FIREWORKS, FIRED AN AIRSOFT RIFLE, AND LIT THIS FIRE IN AN INCIDENT THAT INJURED 3 PEOPLE THIS MORNING. YOU CAN SEE HIM LOBBYING SOMETHING TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE BEFORE HE IS TACKLED. OTHER ANGLES SHOW A SCUFFLE WITH OFFICERS, SOME WITH WEAPONS DRAWN, EMERGING FROM THE SMOKY ENTRANCE. THEN ESCORTING THE SUSPECT IN AN ALL BLACK AND HANDCUFFED AWAY, THE FBI IDENTIFYING THE SUSPECT AS 43-YEAR-OLD ANDREW ARABACA.

HE DID SAY. HE WAS TARGETING THE BUILDING. AND HE WAS OK IF HE HURT OR KILLED PEOPLE GOING IN AND OUT OF THE BUILDING. ARE YOU INVESTIGATING THIS AS A POSSIBLE ACT OF TERRORISM? WE'RE WE'RE COLLECTING. EVIDENCE. AND WE KNOW THERE WERE ANTI-GOVERNMENT AND ANTI-AMERICAN STATEMENTS MADE. INVESTIGATORS IN HAZMAT SUITS NOW COMBING THROUGH THE AFTERMATH, RECOVERING. THE FBI SAYS AXES, A MACHETE, KNIVES, AND A CART WITH A SIGN READING ICE OFF OUR STREETS.

AS TENSIONS HAVE FLARED NEAR ICE FACILITIES NATIONWIDE. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE SUSPECT IS A US ARMY VETERAN. WHO HAS HAD SEVERAL ENCOUNTERS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT NOTHING TO THIS DEGREE. CHARGES ARE STILL BEING DETERMINED. TOM, EMILY, THANK YOU. WE WANT TO TURN NOW TO THE WAR IN IRAN. 3 AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBERS KILLED AND PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOW SAYING. IRAN WILL PAY. OUR KIR SIMMONS REPORTS TONIGHT FROM JORDAN NEAR THE SITE. OF THOSE DEADLY ATTACKS ON US TROOPS.

TONIGHT PRESIDENT TRUMP VOWING REVENGE AFTER THE DEATHS. OF 25-YEAR-OLD FIRST LIEUTENANT TYLER JAMES FEHAN FROM HAWAII. AND 19-YEAR-OLD PRIVATE. ISABELLA GONZALEZ FROM TEXAS. FLAGS WERE AT HALF-STAFF TODAY IN HAWAII. IRANIAN STATE MEDIA. SAYING THESE SATELLITE IMAGES SHOW DESTRUCTION AT. THE BASE WHERE THEY WERE SERVING. IT SAYS AIRCRAFT AND 20 SHELTERS HOUSING US SERVICE MEMBERS WERE HIT. VIDEO FROM THE BASE OVER THE WEEKEND SHOWS MISSILES INTERCEPTED AND EXPLOSIONS.

AN ALERT IS HEARD. IT'S NOT CLEAR WHETHER THESE ARE THE FATAL ATTACKS, BUT TONIGHT. US CENTRAL COMMAND SAYS IT IS EXAMINING THE REMAINS OF A THIRD PERSON. AND IN NORTHERN IRAQ AFTER IRANIAN STRIKES THERE, CENTCOM ANNOUNCING A SEPARATE AMERICAN FATALITY. DURING THE CONTROLLED DETONATION OF AN IRANIAN DRONE, CENTCOM CALLING THIS SWIFT PUNISHMENT AGAINST IRAN, WHILE PRESIDENT TRUMP POSTING, EVERY TIME IRAN KILLS AN AMERICAN SOLDIER, THEY WILL PAY FOR THAT KILLING MANY TIMES OVER.

WE HIT THEM VERY HARD AGAIN TONIGHT, AND WE DID THAT IN HONOR OF THE. PROBABLY 3. IRAN UNRELENTING, SENDING ANOTHER BARRAGE TO JORDAN TONIGHT, UNNERVING ITS CAPITAL CITY. AIR RAID SIRENS ACROSS AMMAN. IT MEANS MISSILES AND DRONES ARE COMING. AND THAT'S THE ALL CLEAR. TONIGHT A SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL SAYS THE. WAR HAS REACHED A TIME OF AMBIGUITY.

AS TALKS ARE CONTINUING. THEY CONTINUE TO SEND SIGNALS THAT THEY WANT TO TALK, BUT THEIR BEHAVIOR IS WHAT WE'RE RESPONDING TO. KIR SIMMONS JOINS US NOW LIVE, AND KIIR, WE ARE NOW LEARNING THAT NEARLY 100 SERVICE MEMBERS. HAVE BEEN INJURED IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THAT'S RIGHT, TOM. THE PENTAGON IS SAYING 100 US SERVICE MEMBERS HAVE. SUFFERED SOME DEGREE OF INJURY SINCE JULY 7TH, BUT THAT 96% OF THEM. HAVE RETURNED TO DUTY. AND TOM, TOMORROW PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL ATTEND THE RETURN.

OF THOSE FALLEN SOLDIERS. TOM, KIR, THANK YOU. BACK HERE IN THE US, GAS PRICES HIT $4 A GALLON TODAY AS THE WAR WITH IRAN DRIVES UP OIL PRICES. NBC'S CHRISTINE ROMANS IS AT A GAS STATION IN NEW JERSEY FOR US TONIGHT, AND CHRISTINE, WE SEE THE GAS PRICES ARE GETTING HIGHER AND HIGHER ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THEY HAVE BEEN FALLING, BUT NOW BACK TO $4 A GALLON. YES, 4:15 WHERE I AM, EVEN WORSE FOR DIESEL HERE. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, THE HIGHEST SINCE MID JUNE, UP 13 CENTS.

IN A WEEK. IT'S MORE THAN $1 HIGHER THAN IT WAS BEFORE. THE WAR BEGAN HERE. AND YOU KNOW, ESCALATION WITH IRAN MEANS OIL PRICES ARE RISING AGAIN, AND OIL IS THE MAIN INGREDIENT FOR GASOLINE. NOW TOM, THE US HAS BEEN. TRAINING ITS STRATEGIC EMERGENCY STOCKPILES TO TRY TO. KEEP A LID ON RISING GAS PRICES, BUT THAT MEANS THOSE EMERGENCY SUPPLIES ARE NOW THE LOWEST THEY'VE BEEN SINCE 1983. SO EXPERTS TELL US. THAT MEANS YOU'LL LIKELY SEE HIGHER PRICES IN THE BUSY SUMMER TRAVEL SEASON AHEAD. IF THE FIGHTING CONTINUES,

TOM. CHRISTINE, THANK YOU. NOW TO NEW CONCERNS AND NEW CONFUSION. ABOUT THAT LETTUCE RECALL AFTER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE GOT SICK ACROSS 34 STATES. ANN THOMPSON JOINS US NOW, AND ANN, THE FDA NOW SAYS ONE SAMPLE WAS A. FALSE POSITIVE. SO WALK OUR VIEWERS HERE THROUGH WHERE THINGS STAND TONIGHT. TOM, HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. THE FDA IS INSISTING TONIGHT THAT THERE. IS OVERWHELMING INFORMATION SUPPORTING THE VOLUNTARY RECALL. OF TAYLOR FARMS ICEBERG LETTUCE. THAT RECALL NOW ENCOMPASSING SOME 27.

STATES DESPITE CONFUSING NEWS OVER THE WEEKEND. WHEN THE FDA INITIALLY SAID A TAYLOR FARMS LETTUCE SAMPLE GROWN IN MEXICO. THAT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL TESTED POSITIVE. THEN LATE LAST NIGHT THEY CAME OUT AND SAID THAT WAS A FALSE POSITIVE. AND ADDED. THAT SO FAR NO SAMPLES HAVE TESTED POSITIVE. TONIGHT THERE IS NO NEW RESPONSE FROM TAYLOR FARMS. FDA AND FOOD SAFETY OFFICIALS SAY A POSITIVE TEST IS NOT NEEDED TO BUILD A CASE.

FOR NOW THEY ARE RECOMMENDING EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM ANY OF THE RECALLED LETTUCE. TOM, OK, ANN THOMPSON FOR US. ANN, THANK YOU. IN MISSISSIPPI TODAY, AN OUTPOURING OF GRIEF AT THE FUNERAL OF NOLAN WELLS, THE. COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER WHO DIED UNDER MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. AND NOW THERE'S A NEW REWARD PARTLY FUNDED BY SOME VERY BIG NAMES. AARON GILCHRIST IS THERE. I SAW. AN EMOTIONAL GATHERING OF HUNDREDS TO CELEBRATE THE SHORT LIFE OF NOLAN WELLS, INCLUDING HIS HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS,

COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAMMATES, AND CELEBRITIES LIKE SPIKE LEE. NOLAN'S MOTHER HOLDING TIGHT TO HIS MEMORY. HOLD HIM CLOSE IN YOUR HEART. SHARE HIS STORIES. AND NEVER STOP SAYING HIS NAME. NOLAN'S DEATH REMAINS MYSTERIOUS AFTER HE AND FRIENDS. TOOK A BOAT TRIP TO HORN ISLAND, MISSISSIPPI ON JULY 4TH. HIS MOTHER REPORTED HIM MISSING HOURS AFTER HIS FRIENDS RETURNED WITHOUT HIM. HIS BODY FOUND ON JULY 6TH. FOR AN EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD YOUNG MAN. TO NO LONGER BE WITH US,

WE WANT ANSWERS. REVEREND AL SHARPTON OFFERING A $100,000 REWARD, SAYING TYLER PERRY, WHO PAID FOR THE FUNERAL, WILL COVER HALF FOR INFORMATION THAT LEADS TO AN ARREST. AND CONVICTION IN THE CASE. HIS EULOGY LAYING BARE LINGERING QUESTIONS ABOUT NOLAN'S CASE. WE CANNOT SAY. IT WAS RACIST, BUT WE CANNOT SAY IT WAS NOT RACIST. SO LET'S NOT JUDGE EITHER WAY. UNTIL ALL THE EVIDENCE IS IN. THE FAMILY'S ATTORNEY ASKING AGAIN FOR PHOTOS AND VIDEOS FROM HORN ISLAND.

HE HAS NOT TURNED OVER NOLAN'S CELL PHONE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT SAYS THEY STILL PLAN TO ANALYZE IT TOGETHER. WE HAVE NOT ESTABLISHED A TIME YET. OF WHEN WE'RE GOING TO DO THE MUTUAL INSPECTION. OF THE CELL PHONE. THE FAMILY'S ATTORNEY BEN CRUM SAYS HIS PATHOLOGIST HAS RUN. INTO SOME LIMITATIONS BECAUSE OF WHEN HE RECEIVED NOLAN'S BODY, BUT HE DOES EXPECT TO HAVE THE AUTOPSY RESULTS VERY SOON, TOM. AARON GILCHRIST FOR US. AARON, THANK YOU.

WE DO WANT TO TURN NOW TO A HOME INVASION TARGETING ONE OF THE NFL'S BIGGEST STARS. AUTHORITIES SEARCHING FOR THE SUSPECTS WHO. BROKE INTO THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES RUNNING BACK. SAQUAN BARKLEY'S HOME. WHILE HE WAS THERE WITH HIS FAMILY. HERE'S MORGAN CHESKY. TONIGHT A GROWING SEARCH FOR SUSPECTS AFTER A FRIGHTENING. HOME INVASION NEAR PHILADELPHIA FOR NFL STAR SAQUAN BARKLEY. POLICE SHARING THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES RUNNING BACK AND HIS. FAMILY WERE INSIDE WHEN INTRUDERS STRUCK EARLY SATURDAY, FLEEING BEFORE OFFICERS COULD ARRIVE. OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE UNSETTLED AS ANYBODY WOULD BE,

BUT NO ONE WAS HARMED. AUTHORITIES SAY IT DOES NOT APPEAR ANYTHING WAS TAKEN FROM THE HOME. AND ARE NOW SEARCHING FOR THIS WHITE SUV WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN USED BY THE SUSPECTS. WE KNOW THERE'S MORE THAN ONE, BUT WE'RE STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE HOW MANY WERE INVOLVED. BARKLEY'S CLOSE CALL COMES AFTER A STRING OF HIGH PROFILE BURGLARIES. I HAD A HOME INVASION AND THEY TOOK MOST OF MY PRIZED POSSESSIONS. THIS 2024 SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE SHOWS THIEVES AT NBA. PLAYER BOBBY PORTIS'S HOME STEALING A CHAMPIONSHIP RING,

MULTIPLE WATCHES, AND JEWELRY VALUED AT MORE THAN A MILLION DOLLARS. THIEVES BREAKING INTO THE HOMES OF MULTIPLE ATHLETES THAT YEAR, INCLUDING KANSAS CITY CHIEFS QUARTERBACK PATRICK. MAHOMES AND TIGHT END TRAVIS KELSEY, STEALING MORE THAN $2 MILLION WORTH OF CASH, JEWELRY, AND MEMORABILIA. IT'S FRUSTRATING. IT'S DISAPPOINTING. BUT I MEAN I CAN'T GET INTO TOO MANY OF THE DETAILS. AUTHORITIES ARRESTING THE SUSPECTS IN THOSE ROBBERIES, ALL CHILEAN NATIONALS EARLIER THIS YEAR.

ON CHARGES THAT COULD CARRY TIME IN FEDERAL PRISON. AND TONIGHT INVESTIGATORS SAY THAT IT'S STILL TOO EARLY TO. TIE THIS BARKLEY BREAK INTO THOSE OVERSEAS CRIME RINGS, BUT STRESS THE INVESTIGATION. IS ONGOING, TOM. MORGAN, OUR THANKS TO YOU. WHEN WE RETURN IN 60 SECONDS, THE VIDEO IS STUNNING OF BISON. TOSSING THIS YELLOWSTONE TOURIST IN THE AIR. NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME, WHAT HE'S SAYING FROM HIS HOSPITAL BED ABOUT THAT ENCOUNTER. PLUS THE BLOCKBUSTER SENATE RACE BREWING IN SOUTH CAROLINA. AFTER THE DECISION FROM LINDSEY GRAHAM'S SISTER.

WE'LL TELL YOU WHAT SHE JUST SAID. AND IF SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE HAS WARNED YOU IT'S TIME TO SWITCH. TO DECAF, THE NEW STUDY ABOUT COFFEE THAT MAY PROVE THEM WRONG, THAT'S NEXT. WELCOME BACK. THE GRANDFATHER CHARGED BY THE BISON IN THAT YELLOWSTONE PARK. INCIDENT IS NOW SPEAKING OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. HE'S STILL IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A FRACTURED HIP. AND STUNNED AT HOW HE WENT AIRBORNE. HERE'S CAMILA BERNAL. THE 65-YEAR-OLD MAN TOSSED INTO THE AIR BY A CHARGING.

YELLOWSTONE BISON IS NOW SPEAKING OUT ABOUT THE ENCOUNTER. THEY MOVED FASTER THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE. HE JUST KEPT COMING AND HE WAS MORE AGGRESSIVE AND AS SOON AS HE GOT OFF THAT TREE, HE LAUNCHED ME IN THE AIR. BOZEMAN HEALTH RELEASING THIS VIDEO WHERE FROM HIS HOSPITAL BED CARL MCDANIEL. SAYS HE AND HIS GRANDSON WERE ON A WALK AFTER DINNER. WE SAW THE BISON. AND. HE WAS DOWN. HE WASN'T. SHOWING AGGRESSION OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. UNTIL. IT PICKED A TARGET.

THAT TARGET HAPPENED TO BE ME. MCDANIEL SAYS HE WAS TRYING TO PROTECT HIS GRANDSON. WHO WAS UNHARMED BEFORE THE BISON CHARGED AT HIM. I DIDN'T GET BRUISES FROM HIM LAUNCHING ME IN THE AIR. IT WAS THE LANDING THAT CAME THE PROBLEM. MCDANIEL IS RECOVERING FROM A FRACTURED HIP. HIS DOCTOR SHOWING JUST HOW SEVERE THE DAMAGE WAS. IT WAS DEFINITELY CLEAR THAT HE HAD A PRETTY PAINFUL INJURY. IT'S ACTUALLY BROKEN IN. MULTIPLE PIECES AND YOU CAN SEE SOME FRAGMENTS HERE, BUT DESPITE THOSE INJURIES, I ALWAYS FELT SAFE AND SECURE.

I WASN'T EVER. TERRIFIED. LOOKING BACK, MCDANIEL SAYS HE KNOWS JUST HOW LUCKY HE WAS. EVEN THOUGH I WAS ON THE GROUND, HE COULD HAVE STOMPED ME. HE COULD HAVE GORED ME, HE COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING. CAMILA BERNAL, NBC NEWS. AND WE'RE BACK IN A MOMENT WITH A PLANE CRASHING INTO THE ROOF OF THIS HOME. IN TEXAS. HOW THE PILOT IS DOING TONIGHT. THAT'S NEXT. A WILD SCENE IN THE SKIES OVER TEXAS. A PLANE CRASH, A PLANE CRASH LANDING, I SHOULD SAY,

INTO THE ROOF OF A HOUSE JUST OUTSIDE OF HOUSTON. INITIAL REPORTS SUGGEST THE PILOT WAS BLEEDING FROM THE HEAD FOLLOWING THAT CRASH. HE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL. HE'S EXPECTED TO BE OK. IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT HAPPENED HERE, HOW THE PILOT LOST CONTROL. NO ONE WAS HURT THOUGH INSIDE THAT HOME. AND A MAJOR. HEADLINE FOR THE MIDTERMS. LINDSEY GRAHAM'S SISTER. ANNOUNCING TODAY SHE WILL RUN FOR HER BROTHER'S SEAT. DARLENE GRAHAM WAS APPOINTED TO FINISH OUT HER BROTHER'S. TERM WHEN HE PASSED AWAY ON JULY 11TH. THE PRESIDENT HAS ALREADY ENDORSED HER, BUT TWO OTHER REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE ENTERED THIS RACE AS WELL,

AND THERE IS PROMISING NEWS IF YOU'RE A COFFEE DRINKER WHO WANTS CUP AFTER. CUP. A NEW STUDY FINDS DRINKING UP TO 5 CUPS A DAY. IS FINE FOR MOST ADULTS, AND IT MAY REDUCE. THE RISK OF TYPE 2 DIABETES, STROKE, AND EVEN HEART FAILURE. SO. NO NEED TO SWITCH TO DECAF. THAT DOES IT FOR US. WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING NIGHTLY NEWS. ON THIS MONDAY NIGHT. I'M TOM YAMASS IN NEW YORK. TONIGHT, AND ALWAYS, WE'RE HERE FOR YOU. GOOD NIGHT.
