AND GOOD EVENING. IT'S GREAT TO BE WITH YOU TONIGHT. WE DO WANT TO START WITH THAT BREAKING NEWS AS WE COME ON THE AIR. THE US LAUNCHING NEW RETALIATORY STRIKES ON IRAN. THE MILITARY OPERATION COMING JUST HOURS AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP. SAID THE CEASEFIRE WITH THAT COUNTRY WAS NOW OVER. OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS, BOTH SIDES HAVE TRADED ATTACKS. NEW VIDEO RELEASED TODAY BY THE US MILITARY, YOU SEE IT RIGHT HERE. SHOWING EARLIER STRIKES ON SEVERAL TARGETS INCLUDING AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS,

IRANIAN BOATS, MISSILE, AND RADAR SITES. OVERNIGHT, THIS VIDEO APPEARING TO CAPTURE MOMENTS OF IMPACT, HUGE EXPLOSIONS. YOU SEE THEM RIGHT HERE ROCKING A MAJOR PORT. AND FROM ANOTHER IRANIAN CITY, FOOTAGE OF THE AFTERMATH, WRECKAGE SEEN BURNING ON THE WATER. EARLIER IN THE DAY. IRAN HITTING BACK THIS CLIP FROM THEIR STATE MEDIA SHOWING NEARLY A DOZEN. MISSILES LAUNCHING INTO THE SKY. LIKELY ON THE WAY TO AMERICAN TARGETS IN GULF ARAB COUNTRIES, AND ALL OF THIS BEGAN AFTER IRAN ATTACKED COMMERCIAL SHIPS IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ,

SOMETHING IT HAD PROMISED IT WOULD NOT DO. NOW AS HOPES DIM FOR PEACE, QUESTIONS OVER JUST HOW FAR THE TWO SIDES WILL GET TO MORE FULL-SCALE WAR. GARRETT HAIG HAS BEEN TRAVELING WITH THE PRESIDENT AT THAT NATO SUMMIT IN TURKEY. HE STARTS US OFF TONIGHT. TONIGHT THE US LAUNCHING A NEW WAVE OF RETALIATORY. AIRSTRIKES AGAINST IRAN FOLLOWING US STRIKES LAST NIGHT. ALL A RESPONSE TO THE IRANIAN REGIME FIRING ON UNARMED. COMMERCIAL SHIPS IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ TWO DAYS AGO.

EARLIER, PRESIDENT TRUMP AT A SUMMIT WITH NATO ALLIES DECLARING THE CEASEFIRE OVER. WE. ATTACKED VERY POWERFULLY LAST NIGHT, THE. VERY. DANGEROUS. PEOPLE FROM IRAN, THEY'RE SICK. THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM. WE SAID GO AND. DO YOUR FUNERAL STUFF. AND INSTEAD OF THAT THEY START SHOOTING ROCKETS AT SHIPS. YESTERDAY. AND SO WE HIT THEM VERY HARD LAST NIGHT, VERY HARD.

IRAN ATTACKED THOSE COMMERCIAL SHIPS DESPITE PROMISTO ALLOW THEM. THROUGH THE STRAIT AS PART OF THE PRELIMINARY PEACE DEAL. IS THE CEASEFIRE DONE? I THINK IT'S OVER. I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THEM ANYMORE, THEY'RE SCUM, YOU KNOW WHAT SCUM IS? THEY'RE SCUM. THEY'RE SICK PEOPLE. THEY'RE LED BY SICK PEOPLE. AND THEY'RE VICIOUS, VIOLENT PEOPLE, AND IF THEY HAD A NUCLEAR WEAPON, THEY'D USE IT. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IT'S OVER. I'LL LET OUR. WONDERFUL NEGOTIATORS KEEP TALKING IF THEY WANT, BUT I DON'T SEE IT. RICHARD ENGEL IS IN IRAN.

HERE IN THE CAPITAL TEHRAN, THERE'S NO PANIC. PEOPLE ARE STILL OUT ON THE STREETS LATE INTO THE NIGHT. THE GOVERNMENT IS PROMISING. A FEARLESS RETALIATION. THE PRESIDENT SAYING THERE WON'T BE A RETURN TO FULL SCALE. WAR. I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO START AGAIN. I THINK IT'S GOING TO GO VERY. QUICKLY. WHEN THEY HIT, WE HIT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE, WE USE. WE USE THEIR LANGUAGE. WE SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE. PRESIDENT TRUMP PREVIOUSLY SAID THIS ABOUT IRANIAN NEGOTIATORS. WE'RE DEALING WITH PEOPLE THAT I THINK ARE VERY RATIONAL PEOPLE. TONIGHT HE WAS PRESSED ON WHAT CHANGED.

I GOT TO KNOW THEM, SO. BASED ON THEIR ACTIONS OVER THE LAST WEEK OR TWO. THEY'RE NOT DOING A SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE. WE CAN PLAY GAMES, BUT I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO MAKE A DEAL. LET'S JUST FINISH THE JOB, ALL AS NATO'S SECRETARY GENERAL SAYS HE SUPPORTS THE US STRIKES ON IRAN. IRAN IS BASICALLY VIOLATING THE CEASEFIRE. I THINK IT IS TOTALLY. CRUCIAL THAT THE US FORCEFULLY REACTS IF THAT CONFLICT. ENLARGES AGAIN. ARE YOU CONCERNED AT ALL THAT THAT COULD DIVERT.

MONEY, MUNITIONS, RESOURCES, ATTENTION FROM. STOPPING THE WAR IN UKRAINE? NO, BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES IS SO STRONG AND POWERFUL, IT CAN DO. BOTH. ALL RIGHT, GARY JOINS US NOW LIVE FROM TURKEY, AND GARRETT, THERE ARE ALSO SECURITY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THE. PRESIDENT FLEW THERE ON HIS NEW AIR FORCE ONE. AND THEN LEFT ON AN OLDER PLANE. YEAH, TOM, YOU CAN SEE THE PRESIDENT ARRIVING ON THE NEW AIR FORCE ONE PLANE, BUT HE DEPARTED EARLIER TODAY ON THE OLD ONE.

THE IDENT WAS ASKED ABOUT THE DISCREPANCY TODAY AND NOTED HE. IS THE NUMBER ONE ON THE KILL LIST FOR IRAN. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THIS NEW PLANE HAS HIGH LEVEL SECURITY PROTOCOLS, BUT THAT THEY ALSO USE TOOLS INCLUDING. DISTRACTION AND MISDIRECTION TO ADDRESS THREATS. THE PRESIDENT JUST SWITCHED BACK TO THE NEW PLANE AT A LAYOVER IN THE UK. TOM, ERIN HAIG WITH THAT NEW REPORTING JUST IN. GARRETT, THANK YOU. AND TONIGHT WE'RE SEEING THE FIRST PIECES RECOVERED FROM. A MASSIVE CARGO JET THAT CRASHED INTO THE OCEAN. EMERGENCY TEAMS ARE SEARCHING FOR THE 5.

CREW MEMBERS THAT ARE STILL MISSING TONIGHT. TOM COSTELLO JOINS US NOW, AND TOM, WHAT MORE ARE WE LEARNING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED HERE? THE ONLY CLUES COME FROM THE PAKISTANI AUTHORITIES WHO. SAY THE PILOTS REPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THEIR NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM. BEFORE CONTROLLERS LOST RADAR AND RADIO CONTACT. FLIGHT RADAR 24 SHOWS THE PLANE FLYING AT 34,000 FT WHEN IT SUDDENLY DROPPED 5000 FT, THEN CLIMBED 6000 FT BEFORE A VERY STEEP. DESCENT AND FINAL CRASHING INTO THE ARABIAN SEA. THIS WAS A BOEING 737.

IT HAD FLOWN OVER THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. A US SOURCE SAYS THERE IS NO INDICATION. THAT HOSTILE ACTION BROUGHT THE. PLANE DOWN AND IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A MECHANICAL FAILURE. INVESTIGATORS HOPE TO RECOVER THE BLACK BOXES TO LEARN MORE. THE US NTSB AND THE FAA WILL ASSIST IN THIS INVESTIGATION. BOEING AND GE, WHICH MAKES THE PLANE'S ENGINES, ARE ALSO STANDING BY. TOM. ALL RIGHT, TOM COSTELLO FOR US. TOM, WE THANK YOU. IN NEW YORK. THERE ARE NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT CAUSED THE BEAMS. IN THAT MANHATTAN HIGH-RISE BUILDING TO BUCKLE AND THE FLOORS TO SINK,

RAISING SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT A PARTIAL COLLAPSE. NOW THERE'S A SEARCH FOR ANSWERS. EMILY AQUETA IS THERE. AS CREWS RACED TO FULLY STABILIZE THIS NEW YORK CITY HIGH RISE, ADDING SUPPORT FLOOR BY FLOOR, WE WERE STARING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW AND WE SAW THAT IT WAS KIND OF TILTING A LITTLE BIT. TONIGHT, CITY OFFICIALS DIGGING INTO WHAT WENT WRONG, RESULTING IN A TERRIFYING LIEN OVER THE HEART OF MIDTOWN. A FAILURE TO PROVIDE STEEL REINFORCEMENT AS PER APPROVED. PLANS LED TO THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT.

THE DEPARTMENT OILDINGS WROTE IN A COMPLAINT THAT THEY LATER DELETED, SAYING. IT WAS NOT ACCURATE. THE DOB ADDING THE INVESTIGATION IS STILL UNDERWAY AND. NOTING THAT WHILE THE BUILDING IS NOW CONSIDERED STABLE, ALL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES EXCEPT FOR EMERGENCY WORK HAVE TO STOP. THEY'RE GOING TO BE WORKING THROUGH THE DAY TO GET ALL THE WAY. UP TO THE ROOF AND ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FLOOR 9. THE FORMER HOME TO PFIZER'S HEADQUARTERS IS. BEING CONVERTED INTO 1600 LUXURY APARTMENTS, INCLUDING BUILDING MORE FLOORS. IT WAS JUST UNDER THAT ADDITION ON.

20TH FLOOR THAT SUPPORT BEAMS BUCKLED. WHAT KINDS OF QUESTIONS ARE BEING ASKED RIGHT NOW? WAS THE DESIGN OK? WAS THE CONSTRUCTION OK? AND WERE THE MATERIALS THAT WERE USED OK? AND THE SEQUENCE OF THE CONSTRUCTION IS IMPORTANT AS WELL. THE DEVELOPER METROLOFT CALLED THE INCIDENT NOTHING MORE THAN. A TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION MISHAP TO THE NEW YORK TIMES, AND TELLING NBC NEWS TODAY IT WAS NEVER CONCERNED ABOUT A COLLAPSE, ADDING, WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE AND DEVELOPED A CLEAR PLAN TO FIX IT. SOME EVACUATED FROM THE AREA ARE NOW BEING ALLOWED TO RETURN,

EVEN AS YOU CAN SEE CRUZ MAKING ADJUSTMENTS TO THE LEANING SIDE OF THE BUILDING. OFFICIALS SAY THE STRUCTURE IS STABLE AND HAS NOT MOVED, AN ENCOURAGING SIGN FOR THESE EMERGENCY EFFORTS. TOM, OK, EMILY, THANK YOU. NOW TO EMBATTLED DEMOCRATIC MAINE SENATE NOMINEE GRAHAM PLATTNER. FACING GROWING CALLS TO STEP ASIDE AFTER BEING ACCUSED OF RAPE, WHICH HE DENIES. RYAN NOBLES IS TRACKING THIS ONE FOR US, AND RYAN, THE CAMPAIGN IS NOW SPEAKING OUT TONIGHT. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, TOM. TOP OFFICIALS FROM THE PLATTNER CAMPAIGN TOLD MEMBERS OF HIS STAFF TODAY.

THAT THEY SHOULD EXPECT TO HEAR FROM THE CANDIDATE VERY SOON. PLATTNER IS YET TO OFFICIALLY DROP OUT, AND HIS PROGRESSIVE SUPPORTERS HAVE SAID THAT THEY WANT. TO PLAY A ROLE IN PICKING HIS REPLACEMENT. THAT'S SOMETHING THE STATE PARTY HAS SAID WILL NOT HAPPEN. THE MAINE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HELD A MEETING TODAY TO DISCUSS A PATH TO. PICK A NEW NOMINEE IF AND WHEN PLATTNER DECIDES TO STEP ASIDE. THE LIST OF POTENTIAL REPLACEMENTS IS GROWING, BUT IT WILL NOT INCLUDE THE ACTOR AND MAINE NATIVE PATRICK DEMPSEY, WHO IN AN OP ED SAID HE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED A BID.

BUT DECIDED HE DOES NOT WANT TO SERVE IN CONGRESS. NOW IF PLATTNER STEPS DOWN BY JULY 13TH. THE STATE PARTY CAN HANDPICK HIS REPLACEMENT. TOM, OK, RYAN, WE THANK YOU. NOW TO THAT DEADLY SHOOTING IN HOUSTON INVOLVING AN IMMIGRATION OFFICER. THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY IS. SAYING THEY WERE CONDUCTING A TARGETED OPERATION. WHEN A SUSPECT TRIED TO RUN OVER AN AGENT, BUT HIS FAMILY TONIGHT SAYS THEY DON'T BELIEVE THAT SIDE OF THE STORY. HERE'S PRISCILLA THOMPSON.

THE MOMENTS AFTER THE DEADLY SHOOTING CAPTURED ON CAMERA, 52 YEAR OLD LORENZO SALGADO SEEN ON THE GROUND AFTER BEING SHOT. DHS SAYS THEY WERE CONDUCTING A TARGETED OPERATION. TO CAPTURE SALGADO, WHO WAS IN THE US ILLEGALLY FROM MEXICO, WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO EVADE ARREST. THIS. BRIEF CLIP APPEARS TO SHOW SALGADO'S WHITE VAN. BEING TAILED BY A DARK SUV. DHS SAYS SALGADO LATER WEAPONIZED HIS VEHICLE IN AN ATTEMPT TO. RUN OVER AN ICE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WHO FIRED IN SELF-DEFENSE.

WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT AT ALL. TWO OF SALGADO'S SONS SPEAKING OUT. I BELIEVE THAT. WHEN HE SAW THOSE CARS FOLLOWING HIM AROUND, HE THOUGHT THAT HE WAS GOING TO GET ROBBED OF HIS VAN, OF HIS LIVELIHOOD. DO YOU BELIEVE IF THAT VEHICLE HAD BEEN IDENTIFIABLE, THAT YOUR DAD WOULD STILL BE ALIVE? ABSOLUTELY. ABSOLUTELY 100%. HE WOULD HAVE COMPLIED. HE WOULD HAVE STOPPED. IT COMES AS PRESIDENT TRUMP'S BORDER CZAR SAYS ICE IS. KEEPING THE PRESIDENT'S CAMPAIGN PLEDGE TO INCREASE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.

ICE IN THE LAST WEEK AND A HALF IS MAKING RECORD. ARRESTS EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THAT. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THOSE NUMBERS EVEN GO HIGHER. TONIGHT. SALGADO'S SONS ARE CALLING FOR AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION. HE JUST WANTED TO LIVE A LIFE, A SIMPLE LIFE OF WORK. AND FAMILY. AND THAT GOT TAKEN AWAY FROM US. PRISCILLA THOMPSON, NBC NEWS, HOUSTON. NEXT TONIGHT TO A VIOLENT ENCOUNTER IN OKLAHOMA CITY. A SUSPECT THROWING A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL AT A MAN.

IN A WHEELCHAIR. PEOPLE NEARBY RACING IN TO HELP. JESSE KIRCH NOW WITH THE STORY, AND WE DO WANT TO WARN YOU SOME OF THIS VIDEO IS VERY GRAPHIC. THIS IS THE MOMENT A MAN IN A WHEELCHAIR IS. HIT BY A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL CATCHING FIRE IN OKLAHOMA CITY. WATCH AS HE TRIES TO ESCAPE THE FLAMES, BUT THE ATTACKER SHOVES HIM INTO THE FIRE. THE VICTIM FALLS TO THE GROUND AND BACK INTO THE BLAZE. BEFORE POLICE AND A BYSTANDER RUSH IN TO HELP. THE DISTURBING ATTACK CAUGHT ON CAMERA LAST WEEK RIGHT ACROSS.

THE STREET FROM OKLAHOMA CITY POLICE HEADQUARTERS, INVESTIGATORS SAY 38 YEAR OLD ALEXANDER JAMES EMERY IS THE MAN. WHO THREW THIS MOLOTOV COCKTAIL AFTER ALLEGEDLY TELLING THE VICTIM, DON'T TALK TO ME. THE VIDEO SHOWING POLICE DETECTIVES PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, APPEARING TO APPROACH WITH GUNS DRAWN. AS THEY HELP THE VICTIM AND TAKE EMERY INTO CUSTODY. ACCORDING TO THE JULY. SECOND INCIDENT REPORT. EMERY HAD A 2ND MOLOTOV COCKTAIL WITH HIM WHEN HE WAS DETAINED. AN OFFICER SMELLING A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE.

EMERY ALSO EXCLAIMING A GERMAN PHRASE ASSOCIATED WITH NAZI IDEOLOGY, ACCORDING TO THE REPORT. HE NOW FACES MULTIPLE FELONY CHARGES INCLUDING ARSON. AND ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO KILL. JESSE KIRSCH, NBC NEWS. TONIGHT WE HAVE A WILD STORY OUT OF CHINA. AUTHORITIES ARE WARNING RESIDENTS IN PARTS OF THAT. COUNTRY OF A NEW DANGER IN FLOODWATERS THERE. JANICE MACKIE FRAYER ON THE HUNDREDS OF SNAKES. THAT ARE NOW ON THE LOOSE. IF A TYPHOON AND FLOODS IN SOUTHERN CHINA WEREN'T ENOUGH,

THERE'S THE THREAT IN THE MUDDY WATERS. SNAKES, MORE THAN 900 OF THEM, ACCORDING TO STATE MEDIA, INCLUDING VENOMOUS COBRAS, CARRIED DOWNSTREAM FROM A BREEDING FARM IN GUANGXI PROVINCE. AFTER HEAVY RAINS CAUSED A RESERVOIR DAM TO BURST. RESIDENTS ARE BEING WARNED TO AVOID USING THEIR HANDS TO CATCH THE SNAKES. FLOODING HAS CAUSED WIDE SCALE DESTRUCTION. RESCUERS IN BOATS NOW TRYING TO REACH PEOPLE AND ANIMALS.

THE SHELTER OWNER SAVING DOGS AND CATS TRAPPED BY RISING WATER. AND SEVERE WEATHER IS HITTING ELSEWHERE AROUND CHINA, LEAVING DOZENS DEAD AND THOUSANDS AFFECTED BY LANDSLIDES, EVEN A RARE TORNADO. SCIENTISTS WARN EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS. ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND INTENSE BECAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE, AND ON CHINA'S EASTERN COAST, IT'S ABOUT TO GET WORSE, WITH SUPER TYPHOON BAVI ON THE MOVE IN THE PACIFIC,

ALREADY LASHING US TERRITORIAL. ISLANDS EARLIER THIS WEEK, BAVI ON TRACK TO BE ONE OF THE STRONGEST STORMS OF THE YEAR, NOW PUTTING CHINA ON HIGH ALERT. JANICE MACKIE FRAYER, NBC NEWS, BEIJING. ALL RIGHT, WE'RE BACK IN 60 SECONDS WITH THE REVEALING DIAGNOSIS FROM KATIE COURIC, THE LEGENDARY JOURNALIST, SHARING HER FRIGHTENING STORY OF MEMORY LOSS AND. THE HIGH SPEED CHASE ON A GOLF COURSE, HOW POLICE FINALLY CAUGHT THEIR MAN.

WE'RE BACK NOW WITH A SCARY HEALTH EPISODE INVOLVING URNALIST KATIE COURIC, OUR FORMER COLLEAGUE HERE AT NBC NEWS. KATIE DESCRIBING THE FRIGHTENING MOMENTS WHEN SHE TEMPORARILY LOST HER MEMORY, SHINING A LIGHT ON SOMETHING KNOWN AS TRANSIENT GLOBAL AMNESIA. HERE'S OUR KATE SNOW. YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE GETTING THEIR NEWS. AND INFORMATION ON THEIR IPHONES. TWO SATURDAYS AGO, KATIE COURIC APPEARED ON A PANEL ABOUT THE. FUTURE OF JOURNALISM AT THE ASPEN IDEAS FESTIVAL. SHE NOW SAYS SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER ANY OF IT. A FEW MINUTES LATER,

HER HUSBAND JOHN SAYS SHE WAS WEAK, DIZZY, AND A LITTLE OUT OF IT. WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING REACTION TO THAT THIS MORNING. THE JOURNALIST AND FORMER TODAY ANCHOR HAS ALWAYS. BEEN WILLING TO SHARE HER OWN HEALTH JOURNEYS. FAMOUSLY HAVING A COLONOSCOPY LIVE ON AIR TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO GET THE TEST. IN A SUB-STACK POST, KATIE SAYS WHEN SHE WAS TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL, A DOCTOR ASKED A SERIES OF QUESTIONS. SHE THOUGHT IT WAS 2024 AND JOE BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT. SHE COULDN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF HER THREE WEEK OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. THE DOCTOR TURNED TO THE NURSES AND SAID,

INITIATE STROKE PROTOCOL. AN MRI OF KATIE'S BRAIN SHOWED SHE HAD NOT HAD A STROKE, BUT SHE COULDN'T RETAIN INFORMATION AND KEPT ASKING. HER HUSBAND AND DOCTORS WHAT HAD HAPPENED. KATIE SAYS SHE WAS LATER DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSIENT GLOBAL AMNESIA, A SUDDEN EPISODE OF MEMORY LOSS THAT'S RARE, BUT MORE COMMON IN PEOPLE OVER 50. THIS IS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS IN A PATIENT OR A FAMILY MEMBER'S LIFE, BUT AS A NEUROLOGIST, IT'S THE BEST DIAGNOSIS I CAN MAKE BECAUSE I KNOW. THESE PATIENTS WILL RETURN TO LIVING A COMPLETELY NORMAL LIFE,

DOCTOR LAURA. STEIN IS A NEUROLOGIST AT MOUNT. SINAI HEALTH SYSTEM. SOME OF THE TRIGGERS INCLUDE. STRESS. SO AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE. PHYSICAL STRESS, EMOTIONAL STRESS, PHYSICAL EXERTION. THERE'S NO ONE REASON THAT THIS HAPPENS TO PEOPLE. THERE IS NOT, AND THAT'S PART OF WHAT MAKES IT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND. KATIE SAYS SHE HAS NO MEMORY OF ABOUT 7 HOURS. WHILE THIS WAS A FREAKY OCCURRENCE, SHE WROTE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS, SO ULTIMATELY. I'M RELIEVED. KATE SNOW JOINS US NOW LIVE IN STUDIO, AND KATE, THIS HAPPENS MORE THAN PEOPLE MAY THINK.

YOU'RE JUST REPORTING ON THIS STORY, THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO YOU. IT DID, ALTHOUGH IT IS EXCEEDINGLY RARE, TOM, BUT BACK IN 2006 IT WAS ELECTION NIGHT. I WAS AT A DIFFERENT NETWORK. I WAS UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE AND STRESS. I HAD RECENTLY HAD A. I ALSO HAVE FREQUENT MIGRAINES AT THE TIME, AND ALL OF THAT MEANT THAT AT SOME POINT THAT NIGHT I SUDDENLY STOPPED REMEMBERING. I COULDN'T REMEMBER MY KIDS' NAMES. I COULDN'T READ MY EMAILS OR UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, NO MEMORY AT ALL, WHICH IS REALLY SCARY. I DID NOT GO TO A DOCTOR. I SHOULD HAVE,

AND FOR ANYONE OUT THERE, IF YOU HAVE THOSE SYMPTOMS, IT COULD BE A STROKE. SO YOU DO NEED TO GET. CHECKED OUT. I HAD AN MRI. I WENT TO A NEUROLOGIST, AND I'M FINE. OK, GLAD YOU'RE OK AND GLAD KATIE'S OK TOO. VERY GLAD. ALL RIGHT, WE'RE BACK IN A MOMENT WITH THE WILD POLICE. CHASE FOR A SUSPECT THROUGH THE GOLF COURSE, PLUS.

ALLEGEDLY CAUGHT DRINKING AND SHOOTING A TOY GUN. INSIDE THE DRIVERLESS CAR. SAN MATEO POLICE SAY WAYMO CALLED 911 TO REPORT THE ACTIVITY,

BELIEVING THE WEAPON WAS REAL AND STOPPED THE CAR. OFFICERS ARRIVED TO SEARCH IT, THEN RELEASED THE TEENS. TO THEIR PARENTS. AND IN TEXAS, A NEAR MISS CAUGHT ON CAMERA, TWO OFFICERS.
