Pope Leo's historic trip. Massive crowds erupting in cheers ahead of his first mass as pontiff in South America, just weeks after his lung cancer surgery. Deadly collision, the huge crash that left at least one person dead and nearly two dozen others hurt. Caught on camera, watch as this small plane makes an emergency landing on a busy road. Travel advisors making a comeback. What's behind the big trend, now one of the fastest growing jobs in the country, even in the age of AI?

2:43It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in New York City. The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is officially here. And there's good news tonight about believing in yourself and the performance that lifted this cheerleader to victory. Nightly News starts right now. This is NBC Nightly News with Jose Diaz-Balart. Good evening. We begin tonight with a terrifying and deadly shooting rampage at a busy public square in Poland. And I should warn you, some of what you're about to see is disturbing.

3:24This was a chaotic scene in Krakow earlier today. Crowds running for cover as gunshots ran out in the city's historic Market Square. We also saw this moment caught on camera. We'll freeze on your screen.

3:39Showing this police officer gunning down the heavily armed alleged shooter and ending the rampage. Authorities say at least six people were killed, 15 others were hurt. And tonight, we're also learning more about what may have inspired the suspect. Danielle Hamamjian starts us off tonight. Crowds running for cover. As the sound of gunshots echoed through this historic market swing. This is where the shots were believed to be coming from. Police receiving calls that a driver in a black SUV was on a shooting spree, opening fire at random from his car. Officers were injured as they tried to stop him, and this is the dramatic moment it all came to a neck.

4:25A wounded officer shoots the alleged perpetrator who's lying on the ground, dressed in what police described as military-style fatigues. Seconds later, the officer is seen kneeling, then falling to the ground. In all, officials say at least six people were killed and 15 others were injured in the bustling old market of Krakow, a popular tourist destination in Poland's second-largest city. Tonight, the Polish prime minister said a man and two women were found dead inside the suspect's home, believed to be members of his family. Authorities also saying everything points to the shooter being influenced by far-right ideologies.

5:08A Polish citizen in his 20s, they say, who used a military-type weapon with ammunition found in his vehicle. Walking through the market at the time was 21-year-old American Taylor Dorfmeister. What's going through your mind at this moment when you see the crowds running for cover? I've seen videos in the news or things like that of events like this occurring. and I just, you know, your brain just goes to not believing that this could be something that is happening to you in that moment. So as I started running, the panic slowly set in, like, this is serious and this is really scary. Danielle joins me now from London.

5:46Danielle, what more do we know about the victims tonight? Yeah, among those injured are five foreign nationals, Jose, a State Department spokesperson telling us they're not aware of any Americans who are harmed in the attack. As for the suspect, he remains in hospital in serious condition. The motivation still unclear. Jose? Danielle Hammamjian, thank you. At home, there's growing fallout over President Trump's new White House chief of staff, and more shakeups could be on the way. Julia Ainsley reports. Tonight, new reaction to the first White House staff shakeup since Republicans lost both the House and Senate in this week's midterms.

6:26The worst of all possible choices. President Trump picking Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff. I pledge you, Mr. President, my absolute loyalty, my unwavering commitment and my total devotion. Miller's been on the Trump team for more than a decade, often in the president's ear as the architect of his controversial crackdown on illegal immigration. America is for Americans and Americans only. Miller was behind policies including the travel ban, the separation of families at the southern border, and now mass deportations. More than half of midterm voters reported the administration's immigration enforcement operations have gone too far, according to the NBC News exit poll.

7:10But two senior DHS officials tell NBC News nothing is changing about its operations for now, as ICE continues to make 50 ,000 arrests per month, including non-criminal immigrants. He's a great fighter. He's been with me right from the beginning. Miller replaces Susie Wiles, the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff. A White House official says she submitted her resignation late Thursday. She's now the seventh prominent woman to leave the administration this year. Sometimes, sometimes in life you have to make one. Julia Ainsley joins me now from the White House. Julia, we're also learning more about another issue unpopular with voters this week, the war with Iran.

7:53Jose, two U.S. officials tell NBC News some of the president's advisors have told him his window for restarting major combat operations in Iran is closing and he should act before a new Congress takes office in January. On Friday, the president said the military carried out minor strikes on the country. Jose? Julie Ainsley at the White House. Thank you. And don't miss Kristen Welker's big lineup on Meet the Press tomorrow morning, right here on NBC. We're also monitoring a major new development in Israel's election after Israel's president tasked opposition candidate Gadi Eisenkot with the first chance to form a governing coalition.

8:32The news is a huge setback for his opponent, current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He comes after neither candidate won a clear majority of the vote. We're also learning more about that deadly Learjet crash that killed everyone on board as newly released 911 calls reveal chaos and confusion on the ground. Here's Valerie Castro. I think an airplane fell or something. There was an explosion. Tonight, newly released 911 calls capturing the confusion. Maybe it was a lightning strike. As residents and dispatchers tried to piece together what had just happened when a Learjet slammed into the ground in Palm Beach County, Florida last Sunday.

9:17The impact leaving a massive crater in the roadway, killing all nine people on board.

9:26On Friday, the father of Natalia Filgueras, the 20-year-old co-pilot, speaking out about his daughter. She was gifted. and my soulmate. Her voice captured in the terrifying radio call when the plane began to plummet. Mayday, mayday, we're descending 10 ,000 feet permanent. I wanted to be by her side, inside the plane, to help, to be by her. She and Captain Jeff Gregory reported bad weather, turbulence, and icing conditions. We're going to crash into the ground, 730, Bama Delta. This week, the NTSB recovered parts of one of the engines at the crash site. and located a critical piece of the tale nearly four miles away.

10:06The investigation into the cause expected to take months. Valerie Castro, NBC News. And now to the dangerous flood and fire threats across the country. We're tracking a new flood threat in South Texas with red flag warnings issued in parts of Southern California. Dana Griffin has the latest. Powerful thunderstorms drenching families from New England to the mid-Atlantic. Parts of Rhode Island and Massachusetts getting up to seven inches of rain in the last 48 hours. This driver on Cape Cod stuck on a submerged row, safely making it out of her car, which was then towed away. That's crazy. In Norfolk, Virginia, streets swamped by Friday downpours.

10:48And this week, a thousand-year flood event inundating McKaysville, Georgia, and neighboring Copper Hill, Tennessee. First responders making dozens of rescues there. As you can see, we're still trying to recover from this devastation. We've got mud. We've got dumpsters all down the road. So many, like Kat Yeoman, now cleaning up. She owns the Copper Mine Candle Company and tells us she lost everything in a matter of hours. It is heartbreaking. I'm not going to lie to nobody. It is heartbreaking. While out west in Southern California. We do have increased fire danger across the region, all thanks to the Santa Ana winds.

11:28gusts up to 55 miles an hour possible in some areas. The worry? Fires that could start and spread rapidly. And Dana Griffin joins me from Los Angeles. Dana, there's also a flooding threat for South Texas tonight. That's right, Jose. Heavy rain is expected to intensify overnight and into Sunday. A flood watch is up through Monday morning, including the cities of Laredo in Corpus Christi, where at least two to four inches is expected. Jose? Dana Griffin, thank you. And now to a health alert and the dangerous surge in measles cases across the country. That number soaring past 5 ,000, and there are growing concerns it could get even worse ahead of the holidays.

12:11Aaron Gilchrist reports. Tonight, new fears that the U.S. could lose its measles elimination status as cases across the country skyrocket. The Centers for Disease Control reporting more than 5 ,000 cases in the U.S. in 2026 already, more than double last year's total. Confirmed cases now in all but four states and deaths reported in New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The state health departments say none of the victims who died were vaccinated. The Pan American Health Organization expected to make a decision next week on the elimination status. Infectious disease expert Peter Chin Hong says losing the elimination status would mean the prevalence of measles cases is primed to put new pressures on health care and communities.

12:53We have to continue being anxious about that person coming through the airport or the grocery potentially leading off to a chain of transmission events. Measles was considered eliminated in this country back in 2000, but as vaccinations have dropped in recent years, outbreaks have surged. Just last week, the CDC calling a meeting of top public health experts to figure out how to regain control of measles. In a statement, the agency telling NBC News in part it's deploying experts to states and investing approximately$100 million in outbreak prevention and response, adding Health Secretary Robert F.

13:29Kennedy Jr. and CDC Director Erica Schwartz continue to recommend MMR vaccination as the most effective way to prevent measles. But Kennedy has a long history of claiming without evidence that measles vaccines are harmful. Can this measles problem be solved without vaccination? This cannot be solved without vaccination. Aaron Gilchrist joins us now from outside the CDC headquarters. And Aaron, does the agency have a plan if the measles elimination status is revoked? Well, Jose, if that happens, the CDC says it would address the organization's findings and work with local and state health departments to stop the spread of measles and to get that elimination status back.

14:11Jose? Aaron Gilchrist, thank you. Pope Leo arrived in South America for the start of a 12-day trip. Today, he celebrated mass in Uruguay, later visiting the poorest neighborhood in the capital city, Montevideo. The Pope will also visit Argentina and Peru. All of this comes just weeks after his lung cancer surgery. And staying in South America, We go to Paraguay, where that country's ousted president, Santiago Pena, is facing new charges today. Pena is under arrest after the Senate removed him from office following the collapse of a government-linked bank that locked millions of people out of their entire life savings.

We're back with a growing trend with travel advisors now on the rise across the country. New data says it's one of the fastest growing jobs in the nation. Here's Aaron Gilchrist. The Swiss mountains are more of an office with a view for Amira Bixby. Four years ago, she traded in her career on Wall Street to become a travel advisor. I really reassessed my life, my goals, what my priorities are, and decided to make a switch into something that I absolutely love.

19:37Bixby joined an expanding group of people changing professions. Travel Advisor is one of the fastest growing jobs in America, according to LinkedIn, seeing a 23 % surge in popularity over the last three years, fueled by people looking for more flexibility and by travelers seeking peak experiences. Right now, people are looking for specialized, high reward, high cost trips, reaching out to people who are experts in planning those getaways and who can get them really good deals and also troubleshoot if anything goes wrong. Little more than a decade ago, this job, seen by some as useless. Very recently, you would say the word travel agent, and it was really like a punchline.

20:19That has all changed. Of course, you can build an itinerary on the internet or with the help of artificial intelligence, but travel editor Mark Elwood says a creative human being can do things AI just can't. The big world of AI can do some things for you in travel, but you know what it can't do? It can't call in a favor. Amir Bixby says some of her fellow advisors come from similar corporate backgrounds. A lot of the advisors I meet are ex-lawyers, ex-Wall Street. So it's all about really being detail-oriented to the nth degree. And as she vets hotels and tour operators, she has this advice for aspiring travel agents.

21:05You're on 24-7, so whether it's Christmas Eve or Thanksgiving, it's part of the process, right? You can't sign up for half a job. Erin Gilchrist, NBC News. When we come back, there's good news tonight about believing in yourself and the moment of triumph this cheerleader will never forget.

21:29There's good news tonight. So often the good news doesn't get as much attention as the bad. So every Saturday we highlight the many people who spread joy and love. And these are just some of those stories this week. Now this is what hard work paying off looks like. That's nurse Jessica Carter and nursing assistant Shana Lamar, champions of this Nurses Summit in Georgia. Jessica and Shana had put their skills to the test. Competing in a series of nursing challenges, earning scholarships and travel vouchers. But the biggest prize was still waiting outside. And here is your surprise. A brand new car for each of them.

22:21I was finally recognized for something that I've been doing for so long. This is a really hard job. You give everything and you pour everything into people that you care for. So to be seen and appreciated, it meant the absolute world to me.

22:38In Azel, Texas, this field is blooming with love. That's Hank Alphin bringing his team together, surprising his mom, Amanda, a breast cancer survivor, with rows after rows after rows. It meant a lot. And each boy was just telling me something special when they would hug me. It was a good moment knowing that I'm going to be okay. Hank showing up for his hero. No matter what you're going through, I can always be here for you. You're really strong.

23:13And just listen to those cheers. That's eighth grader Georgia Walls competing all by herself at the Gwinnett Football League Cheer-Off. Her mom Megan saying Georgia first started cheering back in kindergarten to help her with a speech impediment. We just thought, hey, let's do a sport. Let's do something where she's having to say the words and out there and see if it helps with her confidence. Years later, that confidence on full display. When the other members of her team dropped out, her coach Kenya Barbour asked if Georgia wanted to perform with the seventh graders. She said, absolutely not.

23:59I'm in the eighth grade. I'm going to go out there and I'm going to do this routine by myself. And I said, OK, let's do it. Kenya creating a special solo routine for Georgia. And then Georgia didn't just perform. She took home first prize. It was fun to see everyone join in and be like, oh, she can do this by herself even if she's one person. For Megan and Kenya, seeing Georgia's triumph was a moving experience. Just to see the crowd around her clapping and doing the cheer with her, oh, I was falling the whole time. To see all of that out on that mat on Sunday was just an amazing, amazing, amazing feeling.

24:43When you can pour back into these girls, it's a feeling like no other. It is indeed. And that's NBC Nightly News for this Saturday. I'm Jose Diaz-Balart.
