0:42Find a pro for your project at Angie.com. We're tracking three major breaking news stories as we come on the air. NBC News has just projected a key Senate race. The NVIDIA CEO facing a new scandal and a deadly building collapse in New York City. Dozens of firefighters desperately searching for survivors. Aerial video of the moment a person is pulled from the rubble. A child also rescued. Half of an apartment building crumbling to the ground, leaving closets and bedrooms exposed. We're live at the scene. Breaking right now, NBC News projecting Democrat Scott Colom will be the next senator of Mississippi.

1:21Why it's such a historic win. New reporting, Justin, NVIDIA's Jensen Wong reportedly had a second extramarital relationship, this one with a top company executive. The growing pressure he faces after that scandal with an alleged Chinese spy. Also tonight, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his team reprimanded by a guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier after laughter is heard. We'll play the moment for you. Deadly Los Angeles car crash, a driver slamming into a group of food vendors, killing three people. The charges the driver now faces. A 15-year-old chased through the streets of New York City and gunned down days after he reported he was being bullied at school.

2:04The alleged killer now captured. We hear from his grieving parents tonight. Former NFL coach Rex Ryan charged with a hit and run in Nashville. Pope Leo's Peru homecoming. The hero's welcome just moments ago, returning to the country he spent decades serving. Our Ann Thompson is there. And on this Veterans Day, the impromptu performance from an 89-year-old veteran going viral, his stirring tribute to this country. You'll hear it. Nightly News starts right now. This is NBC Nightly News with Tom Yawmas.

2:45And good evening. We thank you for being with us on this Veterans Day. We are coming on the air with three major breaking stories tonight. NBC News has just projected Democrat Scott Colom as the winner in the Mississippi Senate race. Plus, the growing pressure on NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wong tonight with new reporting that he had a second extramarital relationship. We'll get to all that in a moment, but we need to begin with the urgent rescue happening right now in New York City. This is the live look right now after an apartment building collapsed in Brooklyn, trapping people underneath. You see the first responders searching through the wreckage again.

3:21This is a live shot right here. This was the remarkable moment just before we came on the air when someone was pulled out from the rubble. You see them being carried away on the stretcher. At this hour, at least one person is dead, others seriously injured. Witnesses saying the building went down so hard it sounded and felt like an earthquake. And you can see the entire outer wall of the building completely gone. Those are actually closets and bedrooms inside, totally exposed. Sam Brock is on the scene for us in Brooklyn tonight. He joins us live. Sam, what new details are you learning tonight?

3:54Tom, shortly before we came on air, the FDNY confirmed one person has been killed, six critically injured. When the building behind me collapsed onto a construction site, that, according to a senior city official, as you mentioned, it is sheared off. You are looking inside of people's bedrooms, seeing their clothing as the search is ongoing at this hour. And the scale of this tragedy is still unfolding. Tonight, the urgent search underway in a New York City neighborhood. First responders racing to the scene just after 4 p.m. in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn after a reported building collapse.

4:29You've got a building collapse here, possibly people trapped. The FDNY describing it as a major technical rescue response. At least one person is dead and another is in critical condition. An unknown number of people taken to local hospitals. The search unfolding live on our station, WNBC. You can see the exterior wall of this apartment building completely fallen away. We're seeing what appears to be a closet, the stairwell in the hallway, somebody's apartment, their bed, their clothes laying there on the bed. I mean, Dave, these images, like I said, you can only hope people aren't home. Watch as firefighters transport a person wearing a hard hat.

5:04Is this one of the two that we're unaccounted for or is this someone hurt in the mad scramble to try to rescue someone? It's just too soon to know. We watched as first responders removed what appeared to be a young child out of the debris and into a waiting ambulance. Authorities using drones to aid in the search operation. I mean, I'm shaking right now. Just to think you have kids that are home from school, families that had the day off today, thinking that it's a regular day and turn into what we see right now. And Tom, we just got some crushing news from the NYPD. They said that they are now confirming multiple fatalities.

5:39At least one of those is a child. They also said that there are more than 12 injuries in total. Remember, earlier it was at least six who were critically injured. And I am told that this search is going to go on basically through the night I asked, how many people exactly are you looking for? And the NYPD official said, we don't know. We also do know that the Department of Buildings is on site right now. They have not declared a cause. That is very much a key question in all of this. Back to you. Sam Brock, as those rescues are ongoing tonight. Sam, thank you. We also have breaking news just in on the Mississippi Senate race.

6:12Take a look at this. NBC News now projecting the Democrat in Mississippi, Scott Colom, has won that seat. Ryan Nobles joins us now. And Ryan, this is another major, and we should say, a historic win for Democrats in a deep red state. Yeah, that's right, Tom. That's the best way to describe it, a historic win for Democrats. Scott Cologne will be the first African-American to represent Mississippi in the Senate since Reconstruction. We're told tonight that the incumbent Republican, Sidney Hyde-Smith, has already called Cologne to concede. She's also released a video saying that she respects the will of Mississippi voters.

6:46Now, with the win, Democrats will control at least 55 seats in the upcoming Congress. The state of Alaska remains uncalled, with the Democrat Mary Peltola holding a slight lead over the incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan. That race is likely to move to ranked choice voting, meaning that we likely won't know the winner until November 18th. If Democrats were to win in Alaska, they will have flipped nine red seats in this midterm election. Tom. Ryan Nobles for us on that breaker as well. Ryan, thank you. And we are following fast-moving developments that are affecting some 401ks in a major way involving the NVIDIA CEO scandal.

7:22The New York Times now reporting Jensen Huang had another extramarital relationship. Can he hold on to his job there? Hallie Jackson is covering the late developments. Tonight, the report of another extramarital relationship by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. The New York Times citing five people who worked at the company speaking under the condition of anonymity, reporting Huang had the relationship with a top NVIDIA executive who reported to him. Huang is already under investigation for an affair he's acknowledged. that relationship with a woman believed to be a spy by U.S. intelligence agencies. NVIDIA did not reply to NBC News's request for comment on this news story of Huang's alleged relationship with one of his own employees.

8:02Now, we have seen the shares move after hours on this. Shares in the tech giant plunging in after hours trading as the story raises new questions about Huang's role at NVIDIA and whether he can remain a CEO. Earlier in Washington today, One senator calling for Huang's resignation over concerns about the affair with the alleged Chinese spy. I just don't think he should be, you know, in the role for now, if not forever. Huang co-founded NVIDIA in 1993 and as CEO built it into the world's most valuable publicly traded company. His role in the AI boom that's fueled the U.S. economy, impossible to overstate.

8:39I don't think we've ever seen one individual that important and that integral to what we're seeing today, probably in the last hundred years. It's a blessing on the upside. It's a curse on the downside. And that's what makes us such a quagmire. Hallie, let's pick it up right there. As you know, major companies have a leadership hierarchy, right? Jensen Wong is in a rare class of CEOs, so closely intertwined with one of the most important companies in the world. So if he were to leave, his exit would create a huge hole. You got that right, Tom. And there are now multiple media reports that the board is meeting to discuss his future.

9:16Jensen Huang basically is NVIDIA. There's really no succession plan. There's no clear number two. And NVIDIA is also intertwined with his personal life. His two adult children work there and his wife runs the company's billion dollar foundation. Tom. Hallie Jackson with a major update there. Hallie, thank you. Now to that surprising moment at Arlington National Cemetery. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's entourage reprimanded by a guard after a Veterans Day event there. Here's Gabe Gutierrez. Tonight on Veterans Day, a stunning reprimand at Arlington National Cemetery. All visitors will maintain that sphere of silence and respect at all times.

9:56Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, seen here with his wife and senior Pentagon officials taking pictures near the tomb of the unknown soldier. The group talking and laughing. followed by a sharp warning. All visitors will maintain that fear of silence and respect at all times. U.S. Army sentinels continuously guard the area 24 hours a day, verbally admonishing anyone who fails to show proper decorum. It is requested that all visitors remain behind the cage and trails at all times. The Pentagon tonight responding, quote, The Secretary and the entire department have always honored and will always honor the sacrifices our military men and women have made to keep America safe.

10:39While commemorating this solemn day, a soldier correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum. The incident coming just after President Trump laid a wreath at the tomb, which is one of the most sacred war memorials in the U.S., then giving a speech to veterans. On Veterans Day, we reaffirm our undying gratitude to every patriot who has answered the call of duty. A day after the House rejected impeachment articles against Hegseth, the president praising him to cheers from the crowd. The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth.

11:20I had a feeling that was going to happen. He's done a fantastic job. And Democrats are expected to try and impeach Hexeth again when they take control of Congress in January. Tom. OK, Gabe, thank you. Now to Los Angeles, where a man is behind bars following a deadly crash that killed three women. The suspect accused of driving under the influence. Liz Kreutz is on the scene tonight. Tonight, video shows the chaotic aftermath of that horrific crash in Los Angeles that left three people dead and two others injured. We've got one auto into a crowd of people on the sidewalk. Authorities say it happened just before 6 Tuesday night.

11:59He was really fast. A driver, identified by officials as 61-year-old Ihor Demianenko, allegedly came speeding through a busy intersection near a metro stop in North Hollywood when his car veered off the road, ramming into multiple street vendors. All the stalls that used to be there just sort of get squished and go up and then immediately go down. Gian Barbarona witnessed the crash and took this video of the chaotic aftermath. It sounds like you were within a few feet of being hit yourself. Yes, correct. I didn't know immediately what had happened. I thought something went off, like a pipe bomb exploded.

12:37LAPD says the driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence at double the legal limit. Police describe him as appearing shocked as he was extracted from the car. The medical examiner identifying two of the victims as 73-year-old Maria Peck and 57-year-old Teodora Villalobos, a mother of three, according to her family. She was just part of this community. Today, a makeshift memorial growing where the beloved street vendors once worked as heartbroken community members pay their respects. Two days ago, she was just sitting in a chair flipping hot dogs and smiling and laughing. And now they're all in heaven.

13:13Breaks my heart. Liz Kreutz joins us now. Liz, one person remains in critical condition from this accident. Yeah, Tom, that's right. Another victim is in stable condition. As for the driver, he has been booked into jail on suspicion of murder. Tom. Liz Kreutz for us. We have new developments today in the case of a 15-year-old student who was shot and killed on his way to school in the Bronx. His family says he had been bullied before the shooting. Here's Stephanie Goss. Tonight, a 17-year-old is behind bars, charged with murdering 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, chilling security footage showing him being chased in the streets before he was gunned down.

13:54The teenager was shot and killed last month on his way to school in the Bronx, days after complaining to school officials that he was being bullied. The police say they are looking for two more suspects, while the heartbroken family gave a press conference today. I was at work when I heard that my son had been shot. Frimpong had only been in the country for a year, immigrating from Ghana to live with his father, according to the family, hoping to become a doctor, instead becoming a victim of gun violence. Javits collapsed on this sidewalk, and you can see the community has set up this memorial for him with candles and signs.

14:31His father says that two days before he was killed, The principal from his school called and said that two of the students at the school had been suspended for bullying his son. Authorities have not made a connection between the suspensions and the shooting. Javits is my only child I have. Mayor Mamdani personally reached out to President Trump to get a visa for Javits' mother, who lives in Ghana. Thomas, what effect has this crime had on your family? It's a big hole for me. It's a big, big, big loss to me. The Department of Education says it is cooperating with the NYPD, but did not comment on reports that Javits Frimpong was being bullied.

15:14Stephanie Goss, NBC News. OK, we're going to take a turn now because just moments ago, Pope Leo landing in Peru, a country considered his second homeland. Anne Thompson is there and she joins us now live with the excitement on the ground where he's known as Robert, right? Father Robert. Padre Roberto, Tom, but I can tell you Peru couldn't be more excited to welcome home its adopted son, now Pope Leo XIV. It was a very happy and emotional pope who landed here this evening. He served 20 years in this land and ending as a bishop. This is the most personal and challenging leg of his trip to South America.

15:55You remember he's recovering from lung cancer surgery last month. And this weekend, he will go to two cities that are high above sea level where the air is thin and can be difficult to breathe. Even so, the doctors okayed this trip because this is a trip this pope was determined not to miss. Tom? And the crowds are so excited to see him. All right, Ann, we thank you for being there.
