ACROSS THIS PART OF THE STATE STILL WITHOUT ELECTRICITY TONIGHT. TOM, PRISCILLA THOMPSON IN THE STORM ZONE FOR US. THAT IS SOME BREAKING NEWS. A DEADLY MASS SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS. STEVE PATTERSON IS TRACKING THIS ONE FIRST,

AND STEVE, THIS HAPPENED RIGHT IN THE CITY'S DOWNTOWN. YEAH, IT DID, TOM. WE'RE JUST LEARNING FROM POLICE THAT 3 PEOPLE ARE NOW DEAD, INCLUDING THE SUSPECTED SHOOTER. 5 OTHER VICTIMS. WERE INJURED IN THIS SHOOTING, INCLUDING 3 POLICE OFFICERS. ONE OF THOSE OFFICERS. WHO WAS HURT IS NOW IN SURGERY, WHILE ANOTHER SUFFERED A NON-LIFE THREATENING INJURY TO HIS LEG. THIS ALL HAPPENED AROUND 4:30 LOCAL TIME. POLICE. OFFICIALS SAID THEY ENTERED A HIGH-RISE BUILDING IN THE. CITY'S DOWNTOWN. AFTER HEARING GUNFIRE, THEY FOLLOWED THE SOUND OF THAT GUNFIRE MOVING THROUGH.

A HAZE WHICH OBSTRUCTED THEIR ABILITY TO SEE. THEY THEN FOUND THE SHOOTER DECEASED, BUT IT'S UNCLEAR HOW HE DIED. POLICE BELIEVE THERE IS NO LONGER A THREAT TO PUBLIC SAFETY, AND THEY'RE NOW INVESTIGATING WHAT LED TO THE SHOOTING. WE WILL OF COURSE BRING YOU MORE UPDATES. AS SOON AS WE HAVE IT, TOM. ALL RIGHT, STEVE PATTERSON FOR US OUT TO VIRGINIA AND. A FRIGHTENING SCENE UNFOLDING AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. A TEENAGE GUNMAN FORCING HIS WAY INTO THE LIBRARY AND OPENING FIRE. A STAFF MEMBER WAS WOUNDED AND POLICE SAY IT APPEARS. THE SUSPECT DIED FROM A SELF-INFLICTED GUNSHOT WOUND.

THE INCIDENT TRIGGERING A LOCKDOWN. POLICE SAY NO STUDENTS WERE IN THE ROOM. AND THE STAFF MEMBER. HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL. ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A MAJOR UPDATE IN THE LINDSAY CLANCY MURDER TRIAL. THE JURY SAYING AGAIN TODAY. THEY ARE HOPELESSLY DEADLOCKED. THE JUDGE GIVING THEM ONE LAST CHANCE TO. REACH A DECISION BEFORE A MISTRIAL IS DECLARED. EMILY AQUETTE IS AT THE COURTHOUSE. DESPITE 5 DAYS OF DELIBERATIONS, TONIGHT, THE FUTURE OF ACCUSED. MURDERER LINDSAY CLANCY REMAINS UNCLEAR,

WITH THE JURY TELLINE JUDGE FOR NOW A SECOND TIME, SAYING AFTER MUCH DELIBERATION, WE ARE STILL UNABLE TO COME. TO A UNANIMOUS DECISION, PROMPTING THIS LAST DITCH EFFORT BY THE JUDGE CALLED THE TUI RODRIGUEZ CHARGE, INSTRUCTING THE NINE WOMEN AND 3 MEN TO TRY AGAIN. IN CONFERRING TOGETHER, YOU OUGHT TO PAY PROPER RESPECT. TO EACH OTHER'S OPINIONS. AND LISTEN WITH AN OPEN MIND. TO EACH OTHER'S ARGUMENTS. IS THIS THE LAST TOOL THE JUDGE CAN DEPLOY AT THIS POINT? YES, ABSOLUTELY.

HE IS NOW REMINDING THE JURORS. HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE TO THIS PROCESS. AND SUBTLY REMINDING THEM OF HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS AND HOW MUCH TIME IT TOOK. JURORS HAVE BEEN PORING OVER HUNDREDS OF EXHIBITS AND TESTIMONY FROM MORE THAN. 80 WITNESSES TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER CLANCY. INTENTIONALLY MURDERED HER THREE CHILDREN IN 22023. OR IF SHE WAS NOT IN CONTROL OF. HER ACTIONS AND SHOULDN'T BE HELD CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE. IN A CASE THAT SWEPT SOCIAL MEDIA AND POLARIZED THE COUNTRY.

TODAY, 50 SIX-YEAR-OLD DAWN LIGHT WAS ARRAIGNED FOR ALLEGEDLY TAKING. PHOTOS OF JURORS IN A RESTRICTED EMPLOYEE PARKING LOT. THE SANCTITY OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS AT RISK BECAUSE OF HER ACTIONS. LIGHT PLEADED NOT GUILTY TO WITNESS INTIMIDATION. AND CALLED THE INCIDENT A MISUNDERSTANDING. THE RETIRED NURSE BRIEFLY ADDRESSING THE MEDIA BEFORE RUNNING OFF, AND JURY DELIBERATIONS RESUME TOMORROW MORNING IF THE. THE JURY STILL CAN'T REACH A CONSENSUS IN CLANCY'S TRIAL. HER DEFENSE SAYS. HE'S READY TO TRY THE CASE AGAIN NEXT WEEK.

TOM, EMILY, THANK YOU. THE 5000 SAILORS OF THE USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN ARE TOUCHING DRY LAND TONIGHT. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NINE MONTHS, THE LONGEST STRETCH EVER FOR THE US NAVY. AND TONIGHT OUR CORAN QB IS THERE. IN THAILAND PRESSING THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER'S COMMANDING OFFICER. ABOUT CONCERNS OVER LIVING CONDITIONS ABOARD. A RECORD LONG STRETCH AT SEA IS NOW OVER. THAT'S THE USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN AIRCRAFT CARRIER. PULLING INTO PORT IN THAILAND WEDNESDAY. IT SPENT OVER 280 DAYS ON THE OCEAN,

AN ALL-TIME HIGH FOR THE NAVY. MORE THAN 5000 SAILORS AND MARINES NOW GETTING THEIR FIRST BREAK IN OVER 9 MONTHS. THEIR TIME MARKED BY CONCERNS ABOUT CONDITIONS ON THE LINCOLN. THE CONFLICT MADE RESUPPLYING THE VESSEL DANGEROUS, SO SAILORS WENT LONG STRETCHES WITH LIMITED DELIVERY OF MAIL AND FOOD, INCLUDING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. WE ASKED THE CAPTAIN ABOUT THOSE CONCERNS. HOW DID YOU HANDLE THAT AS. THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP? I THINK. A LOT OF THAT IS, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OVERBLOWN.

THE ONE THING THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT IS THE FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, IT WAS VERY STANDARD. LONG DAYS WITHOUT BASIC COMFORTS ALSO PROMPTED. QUESTIONS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH OF THE CREW, WITH ONE SAILOR RESCUED AFTER FALLING OVERBOARD. PEOPLE ARE HAVING GREAT DAYS. SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF A ROUGH TIME. AND. THIS IS MY 11TH DEPLOYMENT. I WOULD SAY WELL WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF NORMAL, YOU KNOW, IS. KIND OF WHAT I SAW. SHAKIRA FAIRFAX FLEW HERE FROM NEWARK. HER DAUGHTER JADA IS A SAILOR ON THE SHIP. SHE SAID AFTER THE WAR STARTED THERE WAS A LONG PERIOD OF SILENCE FROM JADA.

IT WAS AN UNCERTAIN TIME. IT WAS A SCARY TIME, BUT. SHE HAS A SUPPORT SYSTEM. WHAT ARE YOU THE MOST EXCITED ABOUT? I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER SMILE. I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR HER SAY MOM. AND I'M SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF FAMILIES OUT THERE THAT WANT TO SEE THEIR KIDS AGAIN. COURTNEY. IS IN THAILAND FOR US LIVE, AND COURTNEY, WHEN DO THOSE SAILORS AND MARINES HEAD BACK HOME? WELL, THEY'RE HERE IN THAILAND FOR 4 DAYS BEFORE. THEY CONTINUE THEIR JOURNEY BACK TO SAN DIEGO. THEY MAY HAVE ANOTHER PORT VISIT ALONG THE WAY FOR MORE MAINTENANCE,

BUT THEY SHOULD ARRIVE BACK IN CALIFORNIA IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. TOM, COURTNEY CUBEY FOR US. COURTNEY, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORTING. NOW TO THAT MAJOR OIL DEAL BETWEEN THE US AND VENEZUELA. PRESIDENT TRUMP TOUTING THE AGREEMENT, SAYING IT WILL SEND TENS OF MILLIONS OF BARRELS OF OIL. TO THE US. OUR GABE GUTIERREZ IS IN VENEZUELA TONIGHT PRESSING THE US ENERGY SECRETARY. WHEN WILL THAT DEAL LOWER GAS PRICES? TONIGHT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS DIVING. DEEPER INTO THE VENEZUELAN OIL BUSINESS, WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS CALLED THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY,

WITH MORE AMERICAN COMPANIES, INCLUDING CHEVRON, SIGNING AGREEMENTS TO EXPAND OPERATIONS HERE. TODAY IS A HISTORIC DAY. IN THE TRANSFORMATION. OF VENEZUELA. AND THE EXPANSION. OF THE POSSIBILITIES. FOR THE VENEZUELAN PEOPLE. THE US, NOW IN A JOINT VENTURE WITH ANOTHER PRIVATE COMPANY, WILL GET 100 YEAR RIGHTS OVER 17 OIL FIELDS. WITH PROVEN RESERVES OF OVER 65 BILLION BARRELS. VENEZUELA'S INTERIM PRESIDENT DELCI RODRIGUEZ NOW PARTNERING WITH THE US.

AFTER AMERICAN FORCES CAPTURED NICOLAS MADURO EARLIER THIS YEAR. A US OFFICIAL SAYING VENEZUELA. AND OIL WILL HIT THE AMERICAN MARKET BY NOVEMBER TO HELP BRING DOWN US GAS PRICES, THOUGH SOME EXPERTS SAY IT COULD TAKE YEARS, WITH THE US NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR GAS NOW AT $4.10. A GALLON FROM $3.40. IN INDIANA TO $5.60. IN CALIFORNIA. HOW CAN THE ADMINISTRATION SAY. THAT THIS DEAL MIGHT HELP LOWER GAS PRICES WHEN.

IT WILL LIKELY TAKE YEARS TO REFINE THIS OI. WELL, I MEAN, AS SOON AS THE OIL LEAVES HERE, IT GOES DIRECTLY TO A REFINERY, MASSIVELY LOWER OIL PRICES. THAT'S A FEW YEAR PROSPECT FOR SURE, BUT I THINK IT'S PUTTING DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON OIL PRICES TODAY. VENEZUELA IS ALSO STILL REELING FROM A MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE IN JUNE. HERE IN CARACAS, MONTHS AFTER THAT MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE, THE NEED IS STILL OVERWHELMING. THIS LONG LINE OF VENEZUELANS GATHERED HERE EARLY IN THE MORNING. TO REGISTER FOR GOVERNMENT RECOVERY.

THIS WOMAN TOLD US HER HOME HAD BEEN DESTROYED AND SHE. WAS STILL SLEEPING IN A SHELTER WITH HER TWO CHILDREN. I'M DESPERATE, SHE TELLS ME. TONIGHT. MANY WE SPOKE WITH HERE SAY THEY'RE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS NEW OIL DEAL WITH THE US, BUT JUST HOPE SOME OF THE BENEFITS TRICKLE DOWN TO THEM, GABE GUTIERREZ, NBC NEWS, CARACAS. AND WE HAVE MORE BREAKING NEWS TONIGHT. A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT ON A DRUG WE'VE RECENTLY REPORTED. ON AS A POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGH FOR TREATING PANCREATIC CANCER. NOW A NEW STUDY SAYS THAT SAME DRUG.

IS SHOWING PROMISING RESULTS TREATING LUNG CANCER. ANN THOMPSON IS HERE, AND ANNE, THIS IS EXCITING NEWS. IT COULD BE HUGE. IT COULD, TOM. RESEARCHERS CALL THESE EARLY RESULTS ENCOURAGING. THIS STUDY INVOLVES THE DRUG DARAXINRAA. THAT TARGETS A MUTATION IN ADVANCED PANCREATIC. CANCER AND NOW IT'S BEING LOOKED AT. IN THE MOST COMMON FORM OF LUNG CANCER. THOUGH SMALL, THE STUDY SHOWS PROMISE FOR THE DAILY PILL. IT SHRUNK TUMORS IN 31 TO 37% OF PATIENTS,

DEPENDING ON THE DOSE, AND RESULTED IN OVERALL SURVIVAL OF 8 TO 16 MONTHS, A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT OVER CHEMOTHERAPY. ALMOST ALL THE PATIENTS HAD SIDE EFFECTS, INCLUDING A DISTINCTIVE RASH. THIS IS NOWHERE. NEAR FDA APPROVAL YET. THE NEXT BIG STEP IS A MUCH BIGGER TRIAL, AND I KNOW YOU'LL STAY ON TOP OF IT. THANKS, ANN. WE APPRECIATE IT. TIGER WOODS WAS IN A FLORIDA COURTROOM TODAY AGREEING TO A. DEAL WITH STATE PROSECUTORS ON A DUI CHARGE FROM MARCH. HE PLEADED NO CONTEST TO A REDUCED CHARGE OF RECKLESS DRIVING.

WOODS WAS ARRESTED AFTER A CAR CRASH NEAR HIS JUPITER ISLAND HOME. HE WAS ORDERED TO PAY THOUSANDS IN FINES, AND THE JUDGE ALSO SUSPENDED. WOODS' DRIVER'S LICENSE. FOR 5 YEARS AND REMINDED HIM. THAT IF HE'S CAUGHT DRIVING FOR ANY REASON, HE WILL GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL. WHEN WE RETURN HERE IN 60 SECONDS, THE INTENSE VIDEO OF A VIOLENT ARREST CAPTURED ON CAMERA. DID A TROOPER GO TOO FAR WHEN HE PULLED THE SUSPECT. OUT OF A CAR BY HIS HAIR AND PUNCHED HIM? PLUS DRONE SHOOTOUT,

THE SUSPECT FIRING HUNDREDS OF ROUNDS. BEFORE BEING PINNED DOWN. BY A SWAT TRUCK. WE'RE BACK NOW WITH THE INVESTIGATION AFTER AN OFFICER IS CAUGHT ON CAMERA PUNCHING. AND PULLING A MAN BY HIS HAIR.

BEFORE YANKING HIM REPEATEDLY BY HIS HAIR AND PUNCHING HIM IN THE FACE, POLICE SAY THE CHASE HAPPENED LAST MONTH, THE DRIVER HITTING 130 MILES AN HOUR. TROOPERS ATTEMPTING TO RAM THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND AGAIN, THE SUV FINALLY SPINNING AROUND AND COMING TO A STOP.

THE DRIVER JUMPING TO THE BACK SEAT AND OUT OF FRAME. SECONDS LATER, STATE TROOPER TEDDY HENDERSON APPROACHES WITH HIS GUN DRAWN. PUT YOUR HANDS UP. PUT YOUR HANDS UP. HE USES HIS BATON TO BREAK THE WINDOW BEFORE GRABBING TEDRICK WASHINGTON. POLICE ARRESTING AND CHARGING WASHINGTON WITH. OBSTRUCTION OF GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS AND RESISTING. ARREST WHILE THE DRIVER FACES 9 CHARGES INCLUDING DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED. ARKANSAS STATE POLICE SAY THEY WILL NOT COMMENT ON SPECIFIC INCIDENTS,

BUT THAT ANY USE OF FORCE IS A REGRETTABLE LAST RESORT AND REVIEWED CAREFULLY. LATER ADDING THEY'RE DRIVEN BY TWO COMMON DENOMINATORS UNLAWFUL ACTIVITY AND NON. COMPLIANCE BLYTHEVILLLE MAYOR MELISSA LOGAN WRITING, WE FULLY UNDERSTAND THE PAIN, ANGER, AND CONCERN IT CONTINUES TO PROVOKE. SHAQUILLE BREWSTER, NBC NEWS.

DEPUTIES RUSH OUT TO ARREST HIM. A SCARY SCENE AT JFK. A FUEL TRUCK HITTING A 747,

AND YOU CAN SEE FUEL POURING OUT OF THE. WING WHILE STILL CONNECTED TO THE REFUELING TRUCK. AIRPORT OFFICIALS SAY THE FLIGHT WAS SCRUBBED AND THE INCIDENT. IS NOW UNDER INVESTIGATION. AND IN PENNSYLVANIA, A REMARKABLE ROADSIDE RESCUE VIDEO CAPTURING A WOMAN. ON AN E-BIKE COLLIDING WITH THIS VOLKSWAGEN BUG. AND GETTING TRAPPED UNDERNEATH. HERE'S ANOTHER ANGLE.

WHEN WE COME BACK TONIGHT, MEET THE KID WHO'S. NEVER BEEN TO A HIGH SCHOOL DANCE, AND NOW HE'S HEADED TO HOMECOMING. THE INCREDIBLE WAY HE ASKED HIS DATE TO JOIN HIM. STAY WITH US. FINALLY, THERE'S GOOD NEWS TONIGHT. THE HOMECOMING DANCE IS A HIGH SCHOOL RITE OF PASSAGE, BUT ASKING A DATE CAN BE NERVE-WRACKING.

AWESOME. THAT'S WHAT HE'S GONNA DO AT THE DANCE. AS A PARENT OF A CHILD WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, YOU OFTEN WORRY ABOUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE ACCEPTED AND INCLUDED. AND TREATED AMONG THEIR TYPICAL PEERS.
