Ryan, good morning. Reporter david, good morning to you. Still a very active scene here. If you take a look at this large parking lot behind me you see theres still plenty of cars here because people simply ran out of the theater as you can imagine, as soon as they heard the gunfire, quite literally running for their lives. The reallife horror began just 20 minutes into the 7 00 p. M. Showing of the comedy trainwreck at this lafayette, louisiana, Movie Theater. Thats when police say 59yearold John Russell Hauser a drifter living in a nearby motel 6 stood up in the back of the theater and began firing. You heard a gunshot, pow. It was so loud it had my ears ringing. Reporter witnesses telling police the gunman, whose name once the second shot happened. People started to panic. It was people running over the sheets and running, everything like that. Reporter confusion, chaos, as two were killed and nine others injured. Their ages ranging from teenagers to their 60s. The whole group of people, teenagers mainly, running out telling everybody to run for their life and i grabbed my child and i ran. Reporter two of the injured, teachers both cited for their bravery and quick thinking, one taking the bullet for the other, both thinking of others. One of the teachers took a bullet that could have hit the second teacher in the head. Despite injured the teacher was able to pull a fire alarm. Reporter as the alarm blairs all of the movies in the complex go to black. Screams echo throughout the lobby. The teacher is injured, shes bleeding on the grass, we come to the realization that the ambulance is not going to come so we pick her up and we begin escorting her over there. Probably about 80 yards away. Reporter police say hauser parked his Lincoln Continental outside of the theater, but tried to escape with fleeing moviegoers but police got there so fast he killed himself in stead. Police say he had a criminal record but no motive for the killing. The the neighborhood around the theater in lockdown this morning. This is an awful night for lafayette. Awful night for louisiana, awful night for the United States. But we will get through this. Reporter the star of the movie Trainwreck Amy schumer tweeting my heart is broken and all my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in louisiana. This morning, the biggest question remains unanswered and that is what in the world was this mans motive . Was he targeting someone . Was he trying to send some sort of message, or did he just want to kill himself and others in the process. That question still unanswered. Amy . Something im sure the police will be investigating. Ryan, thank you. The president was briefed on that shooting on his overseas trip. It came hours after he spoke out forcefully about gun control. The atf is on the scene there in louisiana and Pierre Thomas has the latest from washington on the investigation. Good morning. Reporter good morning, amy. Fbi and Homeland Security officials are closely watching this case, the shooter as you said is described as a 58yearold white male. They believe they have his identity but his motive as we said is not known. No known ties to terrorism identified but its early in the investigation. Everything is on the Table Including whether the man has Mental Illness or whether this could be domestic related. Given the scale of the shooting as you said the president himself was briefed overnight while in flight to africa, amy. We know there have been this rash of Mass Shootings. Just how concerned are Law Enforcement agents . Reporter clearly this is something way on the radar. Youre seeing papers like the New York Daily News highlight this concern and the last six weeks weve had horrific cases. Nine people murdered in that church in charleston. Last week five military personnel killed in chattanooga, tennessee. So were appearing to be in the midst of a spike of devastating Mass Shootings whether terrorism related or not. Amy . Pierre thomas, our thanks to you. David. All right, amy. Thanks so much. We want to turn to brooks david of the Louisiana State police. First of all, brooks, our thoughts and prayers are with that entire community. At this point, what more do we know about how this whole thing started . They were 20 minutes into that movie . Yes, sir, we do know about 20 minutes into the movie Lafayette Police department received a call of an active shooter inside the grand theater. Within 30 to 45 seconds, Lafayette Police officers entered that building to neutralize the threat of the active shooter. We know when the shooter stood up early reporting indicating that the shooter began firing at two people right in front of him . We do know that the shooter was sitting in the rear of the theater and started opening fire. Weve learned a lot this morning about the hero teachers. Weve been told that one of the teachers actually threw herself in front of another one . Yes, sir, we did hear that from Governor Jindal, Governor Jindal did go to the hospital and speak with the injured over there. So she threw herself in front of one of the other teachers, saving her, and another teacher actually fulling the fire alarm. Is that how they were able to alert everyone to get out . Yes, they have 16 different theaters in here. Obviously the ones that were in the single theater where the active shooter took place had they had begun to run, however, that teacher did take the time to pull the fire alarm. So everybody else in that theater can exit the building. The quick thinking of that teacher and in the meantime, you talked about authorities rushing in to neutralize the situation, as you said. Its believed that thats when the suspect then turned the gun on himself . We do believe that the suspect, when he saw Lafayette Police officers enter that theater, we believed he turned around and the Police Officers said they heard one gun the shot and we believe thats the shot that the suspect took to take his own life. We know you have important and difficult work ahead of you this morning. Again, our thoughts and prayers are within that whole community. Thanks so much for being here. Thank you, sir. Amy. We are joined now by eyewitness jordan broussard and, jordan, good morning to you. Thanks for being with us. Good morning. Youre welcome. No problem. I know that you were in a different theater but in the same building watching a movie when you heard something. Tell me what you heard. We were across the hall from the theater that had gotten that the gunman was in and we were about five minutes into our showing and we heard a couple of loud noises. We couldnt tell if it was a part of the movie or the theater seconds after, we the alarms were set off and evacuation protocol began, everybody got out easy and safe. About half our theater was full. When we walked around the back we came out the back of the theater and we didnt realize that it was a gunman. We didnt realize it was a serious as we come around the front of the theater, we notice cop cars coming in, about 15 officers busting through the front door with assault rifles and we noticed a woman lying on the ground about 25 yards from the theater with the gunshot wound in her leg. A man had helped her and she was helped into an ambulance. Cops were securing the parking lot. They pushed us in a back corner of a parking lot. Secured all the witnesses and all the people who were still there not had left with their vehicles yet. Jordan, you were there with your brother and your friends. What was that like standing there in the parking lot seeing something that im sure seemed surreal but certainly terrifying. Yes, very surreal. First thing i did was call my family, made sure they knew i was okay. Just very worried about all the people inside. Afterwards we heard that a teacher had pulled the fire alarm and after talking with my brother and friends, we realized that that teacher had really saved everybody in the theaters life. We thank god for everything she did. Really a true hero for everybody in that theater. Well, we are certainly glad that you are okay and your brother and your friends, as well, and certainly thanks to those teachers for that heroic act. Jordan broussard, we appreciate your time this morning. Yes, maam. Thank you. It is remarkable when you think about how many lives those teachers saved, the quick police response, everything that happened because they were able to do what they did even wounded. Yeah, im always struck that its the bravery that triumphs over these horrible things that play out. When that teacher pulled that alarm, everyone is thinking about her. Well have much more on this ahead. Well be joined by governor bobby jindal who visited the heroes in the hospital. Well have much more on that in a moment. But we turn now to the other big story this morning, those wildfires burning out of control in the west, 20 in all. Seven states, the two biggest are in Californias Napa valley and montanas Glacier National park. Hundreds of firefighters battling those flames which have forced people from their homes. Abcs Kayna Whitworth is in montana this morning with the very latest. Good morning, kayna. Reporter amy, good morning. The Reynolds Creek fire here in montana is so dangerous and so complex theyve had to bring in a new Incident Command Team overnight and still theres no reported containment and they are expecting another day of high winds. Of course weather a factor in all of the fires across the west. This morning, unpredictable wildfires ravaging the west. The flames in californias rag fire zone reaching the 7,000acre range this morning with just 15 containment. More than 500 firefighters wrestling extremely steep terrain and raging winds. Three tankers and ten helicopters also launching an aggressive aerial assault. 45 minutes east of californias famed napa valley, residents stunned by flames shooting up as high as 100 feet in the air. Its growing big real fast and its getting close. Reporter hundreds of people forced out of their homes. We need to completely mitigate any hazards before we can let them in. Reporter amid the chaos multiple evacuations and roadblocks in place as 20 wildfires burn across seven states. I dont want to die of flames. Reporter 16yearold Lakota Duncan and his family making a swift escape. Go now. Go fast, dad, go reporter as this wall of fire bulldozed the popular Glacier National park. It was very humbling how Mother Nature can do that. It was very, very scary too. With that kind of wind in this fire it grew very rapidly. Reporter dry, windy conditions putting a strain on firefighters and resources. With no end in sight. Glacier National Park is known for grizzly bears and officials tell me that the fire is pushing them out of the wilderness. Another thing firefighters have to keep in mind they cant keep anything in their tent with a cent. That means lotion chapstick or deodorant. Tough conditions out there. Kayna whitworth, thanks so much and ginger, speaking of those conditions, it is making it really tough on these firefighters to put these fires out. Right, thats the thing. Maybe the weather didnt start it, probably didnt but it definitely is keeping the fires going. Look, alaska, nevada, oregon, also in there with where the fires are burning but red flag warnings are east of glacier. I think the fire conditions are going to get kind of better by the weekend but also kind of worse. Listen to this. So the relative humidity is always a huge variable. Its pretty low. In the teens, low 20s. Thats not good. As the cold front comes through, you see the green . Thats moisture. By sunday look at napa. Up to 93 so you say thats great but that could come along with that dry lightning and certainly going to have gusty winds. Were going in the 20s to near 30 in glacier and a little better toward the end of the weekend in northern california. Still fire conditions not great, david, we will have much more coming up. Severe weather, tornadoes to talk about next. All right, see you shortly, ginger. We turn in the meantime, to new trouble for Hillary Clinton this morning. More questions about that private email account for the democratic president ial hopeful and a possible criminal investigation now. Abcs jon karl is live at the white house this morning with the latest. Jon, good morning. Reporter good morning, david. The department of justice tells abc news this morning, they have been asked to investigate whether sensitive and possibly classified information was mishandled because of Hillary Clintons use of that private email account. And abc news has been given obtained a memo from the inspectors general for the state department and Intelligence Community that says hundreds of potentially classified emails were included within the collection of mrs. Clintons emails on that private server. Now, there is a very important point here, david, that is, theres no evidence to suggest that any of the information on her emails was marked classified at the time or that mrs. Clinton ever knowingly handled classified information on those private emails. Which would be an important distinction, how is the clinton camp responding . Reporter the Clinton Campaign is sticking to what has been their line from the start, a statement from her spokesperson said that she followed appropriate practice in dealing with classified materials at all times and they are reiterating that point, that nobody is saying that anything was marked classified at the time she either sent or received it with those private emails but this is a new investigation. Certainly is. Our chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl with us. Jon, thanks. Right over to paula in for amy with the other top stories beginning with the latest in the fight against al qaeda. Good morning, david and amy. Were just learning that a senior al queda commander has been killed in a u. S. Air strike. Overnight defense secretary ash carter announced the drone strike in afghanistan killed al qaedas head of explosive operations whos also a close associate of ayman al zawahiri.

The combined company would insure 53 million americans. And in texas, an autopsy has determined that sandra bland, the woman found dead in her jail cell, took her own life. The autopsy finding no sign of a struggle. A woman in a nearby cell says that bland was distraught. And from indiana now terrifying moments during a 16th birthday celebration. Look at this stuck on the tracks that limo carrying teenagers, the train was unable to stop slams into the limo. However, everyone inside of that limo had enough time to get out safely before that horrible collision. It is tough to watch, isnt it. Dramatic video from canada. A pod of killer whales was hunting seals when one took a wrong turn, got stuck on these rocks. She could be heard crying in pain because of the pressure on her lungs but then lifesaving volunteers came to the rescue. They doused her with seawater for the next eight hours once the tide rose the whale then freed herself and rejoined her pod and everyone was happy, right, lara . Yes. Lara is very happy. Finally one mans valiant effort to stop the flying umbrellas on a beach in maryland. Hes the guy in the blue shorts. Watch when the wind picks up, the umbrellas make the move, the battle is on. Hell throw one umbrella at another. Oh no its not going to work. Moments later, its allout chaos. Theyre just rolling down the beach. He doesnt know what to do. It does look like a crazy little scene but you can hear the guy filming this really enjoying it from his balcony. From his balcony . Can you imagine if you were in that path.

We have breaking new details coming in at this hour. A gunman opening fire in a crowded Movie Theater last night. About 20 minutes into the showing of that new movie, trainwreck. Two people and the shooter are dead. Nine others injured. Some of them critically this morning. Now, for the viewers he from the rest. The shooter identified. Russell houser. Investigators, finding wigs and glasses in his hotel room. Were joined by louisiana governor bobby jindal who was on the scene last night. What more do we know about the suspect, about a possible moatsive . Moats motive . David a couple things. An awful, awful night in louisiana. One of these nights that make you want to go home and hug your kids. Look a couple of things. One the shooters intent was to get away. Apparently the sheeter tried to escape in the crowd. The Lafayette City Police got here so quickly. He actually turned around and went back in the theater. Thats when he shot himself. His original intent was to escape in the crowd and get away. They dont know what his plans were after that. Heroic effort for the police state and federal to get here so quickly and prevent further loss of life. Awful pr tragedy. Talking to families last night in the hospitals. In one of the local hospitals. A lot of family scrambling to find out if their loved ones had been shot or injured. A lot of folks are in the need of prayers and love from the country. Our prayers are with them. We can only imagine what its been like the last 24 hours for them. You mentioned the shooter appeared to be leaving the theater and turned around and went back in when he saw authorities moving in . That is right. He apparently was trying to escape through the crowd. One of the teachers shot in the leg actually had the forethought to pull a fire alarm. This was an amazing story. Youll hear more and more acts of selfless heroism. Two teachers, the last few days of summer break in a movie together. One jumped in front of her fellow teacher probably saving her life. That bullet may have hit her in the head. If she hadnt done that. The second teacher was still shot in the leg and was able to pull the fire alarm. As we get more and more details from what happened youll hear more and more of these acts of hero women. The shooter purposely sat in the back and was able to fire multiple rounds striking as you know there were two that were killed. Another the shooter himself shot himself and then nine injured but, david, you know, look, this is a resilient city. There will be tears and well have to explain the existence of evil. You had family members in the last few days of summer break just going out on a thursday night to a summer movie. Were not that far from the local university. This is just a very normal part of town and these families were just looking for a night to escape. They were leer to see a comedy, a movie. Never imagined can you imagine the horror we talked to family members coming back from Family Vacations rushing back to lafayette to find out if their loved ones were involved if they were injured, if theyll recover or tragically in a couple of cases whether their love ones were shot and killed last night. That is the case, governor, you know, families should be able to go to a movie without having to worry about something as dark as this. You mentioned the pulling of the fire alarm, governor, have investigators told you what could have happened had that teacher not thought in those moments to act so bravely . Well, look, again, they processed and continuing to process the scene inside. In 45 minutes we along with Law Enforcement will be briefing more about what they found inside. A lot of tragedy, a lot of unnecessary death and injuries. Obviously it could always have been a lot worse. Who knows what this deranged mans intentions were. If he had gotten out who knows what he would have done. Fortunately that didnt happen. Unfortunately, he caused a lot of damage for a lot of families. Look, when Something Like this happens we are both angry at senseless evil but were also just were incredibly saddened. When one family is hurt were all hurt and the great thing about this country we do come together and these families need love, they need prayers. The owner of the theater is already setting up a fund to help benefit the families and heard from folks all across america. This is a great country. A time for us to pull together. We will get through this. It wont be easy. There will be funerals, there will prayer vigils. There will be folks that are having to explain to their loved ones why bad things happen to good people but we are going to get through this. Plenty of time to investigate what the suspect was up to but in the meantime, the families come first and please send them our best as you make your rounds this morning, governor. Thank you, david. Amy. All right, david, we turn to an abc news exclusive on those convicted killers who made that spectacular escape from a maximum security prison in upstate new york. Were getting our first look inside that cabin where richard matt and david sweat evaded police for three weeks. Linzie janis is here with that story. Reporter the field commander in charge of tracking down those killers is giving us an exclusive blowbyblow account of the manhunt and unprecedented access to the places where it all went down taking us to that first cabin where police found matt and sweats dna, a huge break in the case. Really rocky. It happened here at a location so remote we had to travel by atv to reach it. There it is. At the end of the trail, a hunting cabin. One of the many that dots the adirondacks. These cabins are often left unlocked and stocked with food, supplies, even booze. Man that from heaven for an escaped con on the lam. Sure enough on that fateful saturday, cabin owner John Stockwell and his black lab dolly drop by for a visit and immediately see signs of activity. Whoever was on the back deck fled down the back. He could tell that because he could hear the cracking through the brush. Reporter inside, stockwell fines more signs of activity. A misplaced coffee pot. A missing shotgun that had been hidden between two mattresses. A map ripped off the wall. Stockwell quickly alerts authorities who find more evidence that sweat is the careful criminal and matt the wild card. Sweat had wanted to leave. Matts position was, no sense in leaving just yet and if somebody intrudes upon our occupancy of the cabin, you know, frankly, were ready to deal with them. Reporter we now have a shotgun . We could kill them. We could take them hostage. Reporter in their mad rush to leave the scene matt acts more like a bumbling amateur leaving even more vital clues behind. Theyre getting out of dodge as fast as they can. Items of interest that we recovered fall out of matts pack, toothbrush, toothpaste. Razor, those personal grooming items which immediately were a hit on dna within the next 24 hours. Reporter that must have been a good feeling. It was. It helped us sharpen our focus and certainly boosted the morale of everyone involved. Reporter it would take another eight days for the manhunt to end. A lot of fascinating details from the major.

All we saw was like an arm so we tried to make sure that she was still alive, still breathing. Reporter police and firefighters quickly arrive on the scene. First attempting to use a carjack. It doesnt work. Then they realize they dont have enough time to wait for equipment to help lift the car. She basically didnt look like she was responsive at all so we knew we didnt have time to wait any longer. Reporter bystanders rushed to aid the officers as they lift the vehicle finally pulling the woman to safety. I told the firefighter theres enough of us, lets just lift it up. Like lets go. Everybody just rushed up and it was kind of a spur of the moment decision. Reporter miraculously she survived suffering severe but not fatal injuries.

We do start with breaking news. That deadly shooting inside a Movie Theater in louisiana. People are identifying the shooter as a 59yearold man from alabama described as a loner. Two were killed before he took his own life. Police also revealing wigs and glasses found in his car and motel room. Ryan owens is on the scene. Ryan . Reporter good morning. State police have just identified the shooter and here he is. Hes 59 years old. His name is john russell houser. Hes not even from this area. Hes not from lafayette. He lived in alabama. Were told he was estranged from his family there and had been hanging out at a hotel here for a couple of weeks. Inside that hotel room not far from here police say they found wigs and other disguises. They think this man did not intend to kill himself which, of course, is what he did. They think he wanted to escape with the fleeing moviegoers but Lafayette Police got here so fast he didnt anticipate that and went back inside and shot himself. Of course, he also killed two moviegoers. Nine others were injured and this may have been far worse were it not for the actions of a teacher who was actually shot but still managed to pull the fire alarm and clear that theater. Paula. Thank you. We do have breaking news overnight in the Hillary Clinton email scandal. Two inspectors general have asked Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into clintons use of a private email account. One Inspector General reports hundreds of potentially classified emails have been found among those that clinton turned over to the state department. Clinton maintains she has always followed appropriate procedures. And the Massive Wildfire that has scorched nearly 11 square miles in napa county, california, is calming down a bit this morning. Some evacuations have been lifted. Still that fire is only 15 contained. Meantime, an elite Firefighting Team has arrived in Glacier National park in montana where a wildfire is burning dangerously close to campgrounds, as well as a hotel. And a possible breakthrough this morning for people suffering from traumatic brain injury. Researchers say that theyre about two years away from a pill that could restore normal brain activity in patients like Football Players that have been hit with severe concussions. They hope this treatment could ultimately help those suffering from diseases like alzheimers. And in tennessee, it is hard to believe that no one was hurt in this bizarre crash. Look at this. Police say the driver of the red car got dizzy, crashed off an embankment then landed on top of that subaru. Looks a little bit like a doubledecker.

Am i wrong welcome back to gma. Time for the heat index and this mornings h the night is still young am i wrong welcome back to gma. Time for the heat index and this mornings hot button. There it is. A nasty neighbor dispute that landed one maryland man behind bars. Hes accused of terrorizing the family next door for five years accused of knocking down fences, even throwing stones. Look at that. Abcs david wright has the story. Reporter good fences make good neighbors, right . Not always. Not when one of them hops on a bulldozer and brings that fence down. Not when he allegedly blocks the driveway or flips the bird. I put up the first camera to try to catch him cutting down the fence, so then by july of 2013, hes dumping used motor oil in the swimming pool. He has hurled stones at mr. Buckland. He has threatened to shoot him. Reporter socrates kondilis lives right next door to George Buckland in an otherwise quiet suburb of washington, d. C. The two have a property dispute going back five years now, one that recently got so ugly, kondilis is now behind bars. The dispute upsetting the neighbors too prompting 43 separate calls to 911. Stop cutting trees. Reporter nasty neighborhood disputes have been known to escalate to gunfire. Just last year in california, Michael Vilkin was convicted of murder all over landscaping. And i pulled out my revolver and shot him. Reporter as for that washington, d. C. Case, last fall a Court Ordered kondilis to take anger management. He lied about taking the classes and is now convicted of perjury. Kondilis will be sentenced in september and could face up to two years in prison. For good morning america, david wright, abc news, new york. All right, thanks to david wright for that. And we turn now to abc news legal analyst ryan smith with more on this nasty neighbor dispute. Unfortunately, other people have had similar experiences. What can you do if youre in a situation like this . Well, if a situation gets this tense, heres my thing, dont confront, call the police and when you think about that you say, well, wait a second, if i have a problem, ill go next door and tell him my peace of mind. Thats the last thing you want to do. You could end up on the wrong end of legal trouble. What you need to do is call the police. They come out. They document the situation. And remember they are the Impartial Third Party in all of this. They dont have a stake in this fight so theyll document everything and make sure they have your side of the story. Sometimes for people it doesnt feel as effective but it does get you out of a situation and make sure that they handle the problem. Where do you find the cheapest bulldozer . Just kidding. But you cant avoid these altogether. What do i do . Sometimes you cant control it. You move in. A bad neighbor moves in. It just happens that way but what you should do is really assess the situation. Go into the neighborhood. If you dont like kids if you see a playground nearby or kids on the street, its probably not the right place to live. Want to park on the street, if its filled with cars, probably not for you. Do your recon at first. Outside of buying the bulldozer at home depot. Talk about documenting, a particular way of not embellishing. Document what happens but i know how people are, they say well, he did this then he did this and then at 4 45 it was that. So, i got it. I got it. But thats not going to work in court. You need to just tell the facts. Just the facts, maam. Remember that . That video is certainly. And the video helps, but, again, the police helps a lot because they are there as officers of the law to say, hey, you know what, youre in the right. Weve taken down your information. And even if you have to call them a bunch of times it can take years. It really can, but then you got that documented record that courts look at. They say, you no he what . This is what happened. If theres a civil suit in this or something more we can see your side of it. Because they dont have a stake in the fight as you pointed out. Or call your real estate agent. Oh, man. It does sound like a nightmare. Thanks for the tips, ryan. Were going to turn to the next item in the heat index. A warning for beachgoers as we head into the weekend. We were a little surprised to find out what was actually in the sand. Abcs becky worley putting it to the test. Reporter sharks, riptides, were staying on the beach, but vigilance may be needed here in the sand too. Sand is sort of a moist environment so bacteria can thrive there. Reporter while most attention goes to water quality, a new study from the university of hawaii shows that certain bacteria in sand can live much longer than bacteria in the water, and an older study links playing in the sand to getting sick. If you swim in water with high levels of enterococcus from Wastewater Treatment plants and urban runoff, youre more likely to get sick. Reporter ever think about how dirty the sand is . No. Reporter did she ever eat the sand . Yes, she does. I can hear it crunching. Reporter we went to three popular california beaches and collected samples then brought them to stanford where dr. Boehm and her team analyzed them. What did you find . Well, we tested the three sand samples that you brought in and we found different concentrations in all of them. Reporter she found e. Coli and enterococcus bacteria. These are indicators of even more serious pathogens that can cause infections and g. I. Issue. Does the presence of this type of bacteria in the sand concern you at all . When we find it in really high concentrations, it does concern me. Those were quite high and im curious as to why. Reporter if you were at that beach, how would you behave differently knowing what you know . I definitely wouldnt let any of my kids eat the sand or play in it in any way. Reporter dr. Boehm said she found serious bacteria at 15 of beaches she sampled like staphylococcus and salmonella and she says its a problem across the country. Its not unusual. We find these bacteria in sand at beaches all over the country and all over the world. Reporter while regulators havent determined the levels of bacteria in sand that pose a health risk, there are steps you can take. Dr. Boehm says have kids play in wet sand. Its washed clean while drier sand isnt. Stay away from sand exposed to storm drain runoff and creeks. And if youre going to have a picnic at the beach, dont take a vacation from hand hygiene. For good morning america, becky worley, abc news, santa cruz, california. Good advice, though. It is good advice. Im cringing now thinking about how many times my children have been at the beach and taken a handful of sand and put it in their mouth and i thought it was okay. Builds resistance. Yeah, exactly. Thats what a good parent would say, right. Also in the heat index this morning, new questions being raised about those pet crates and the cages used for traveling. Just how safe are your pets when theyre inside one . Look at that and it doesnt make you feel good. T. J. Holmes is here with more. Thats not a real pet. I just want to make sure Everybody Knows that. Everybody knows. Thats good. Some people were concerned. Seriously, right, but Everybody Knows, pet owners out there, you do it. You let the dog get inside the car and roam and put his head out the window. They love that. Well youre not supposed to do that. If you have an accident you can turn that into a canine canon ball and it can hurt the dog and can hurt everybody else in the car. So you use a crate, right . But now some Ground Breaking research is showing that the crates arent passing the test. Watch this, an exclusive first look video shows how a pet crate would hold up in a 30mileperhour simulated crash. The crash test dummy dog flying out of the carrier. The center for pet safety and subaru teaming up to test 14 pet crates, carriers and accessories to see how they all hold up. We had some really surprising results. Reporter lindsey walco is the founder of a center for safety. We could not believe how violent that test turned out to be. Reporter of the 14 crates and carriers tested, 11 did not provide adequate protection. It was just shocking. Reporter dog trainer Alicia Calhoun was traveling with her six dogs when she says she was in a bad car accident. All of the dogs just being shot out of the car. Reporter tsunami, a 13weekold puppy, along with one other dog didnt make it. Tsunami was the only one in a crate and calhoun believes the right type of crate could have possibly saved her life. Walco says many manufacturers claim to test their products, but the industry is unregulated leaving no uniform performance standards for pet travel safety products. But those topping cps list of approved carriers and crates, the gunner kennel, petgo jet set and the sleepypod and the American Pet Products Association Says they cant comment on a test process conducted by a third party Nonprofit Organization but says our members are always interested in maximizing the safety of their products. Look, people dont even think about it, right . Its second nature. They throw the dog in there and let the dog roam. Do what he does. You would never do your child like that. You would never do a loved a member of your family so 100 . Its that simple. All right. Thanks, t. J. Thanks, t. J. You got it. Lets head out to ginger in the park with that huge crowd. Oh, my gosh, more than 5,000 people. So many people arriving here last night, and this morning, you guys are hyped. Thats the word that i just learned from my little sister. And im giving away the glasses. You get the glasses. Here is my boa. Heres my boa. Lets talk about some weather, shall we . Lets talk about the forecast in florida where three to six inches, a Flash Flood Watch in western florida just north of tampa there. Thats what were looking out for, and the heavy forecast in the next couple of days central and e good morning, i am meteorologist mike nicco. Are you ready for the weekend . More nature is. She will bring us a lofts sunshine but for the coast with more cloud cover than year. Coolerthanaverage with a steady pattern to last through sunday and a big heat wave next week. 60s along the coast and San Francisco and midtoupper 70s as you head to the south bay and into the north bay and mid80s inland east bay. My sevenday forecast shows the triple digits inland and even some warmth at the coast whos the biggest nicki minaj fan here . [ cheers and applause ] you are. Are you . Are you . I dont know which one, but it all spells out nicki and we know this is going to be good. This crowd, this energy, and now our lara up here live with nicki minaj. Ginger, you just asked who is the biggest nicki minaj fan . I am hello, my nicki. Hi, honey. How are you . Great to see you again. Great to see you. I want your microphone. It looks fabulous. Thank you. So much going on with nicki minaj. Congratulations on the pinkprint tour. Thank you. The movie, perfumes, other business ventures, so much to talk about, plus how many songs today . Were going to do about three songs today. How does that sound . [ cheers and applause ] three songs from nicki. Want to begin, though, because youve been in the press lately. A lot of talk about a bit of a twitter firestorm over the mtv video music awards. I want to read what you wrote. You said, if i was a different kind of artist, anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year, as well. Uhhuh. Your original intent may have gotten lost in the shuffle. Uhhuh. Would you say that . Yeah. I would love if you would clear the air. What did you mean by that . Well, first of all, i spoke to taylor swift yesterday on the phone. I was going to get to part two. Thats part two because that was the second. So she was, you know, super, super sweet, and she apologized. She said, you know, look, i didnt understand the big picture of what you were saying but now i get it so were all good. But, yeah, i was just saying i posted something on my instagram and it just showed the stats of other videos that had been nominated previously, and it just seemed to be a little funny business going on. [ cheers and applause ] and and clarify. Well, it just, you know anaconda had such a huge cultural impact, and on top of that, we broke the vivo record so [ cheers and applause ] so, this is actually my third time breaking the vivo record, and anaconda, therefore, should have been nominated and i think if it was one of the pop girls, they would have many nominations for it and you had three. And i got i think i got two nominations for anaconda for female and for hiphop but it should have been for the year and thats all we were saying and it is what it is. And the reason that taylor swift came into the fray was you also tweeted, if your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year. She weighed in. She thought you were referring to her. She later apologized writing she tweeted, i thought i was being called out. I missed the point. I misunderstood then i misspoke. Im sorry, nicki. Yeah, that was super sweet. Yeah, i just i think that we just have to have both images for girls. We cant have only, you know, one type of body being glorified in the media because it just makes girls even more insecure than we already are. Right. You know, and i mean, i got to believe this is the makings of a beautiful collaboration. You guys have worked together in the past. Can we make something beautiful come from this with you two . Im sure we can. You know why, because it takes a big person to do what taylor did and everyone sometimes speaks out of turn. You know, ive been there. Sometimes we do things, and we dont think right away, or we dont investigate, you know and then we just talk. So it was big of her to come out and say that, and, so, yes, we spoke for a long time. We were cracking up laughing on the phone. Its over, you guys, and i love you guys for supporting me. [ cheers and applause ] yeah. Thank you so much. I am glad you love taylor and i think it is great, and i do hope something you both are so talented. Of course i would love to work with her. Can i celebrate nickis talent for a minute . Thank you. [ cheers and applause ] the woman can sing and dance. The acting i mean youre acting with one of my favorite people in the world. Cedric is a dear friend of mine barbershop 3. You guys are going to love barbershop 3. Im not kidding. Im not kidding. That movie is so freakin funny and its so classic and it has an amazing cast and are you guys going to see it .

Absolutely, ginger, including this, the 2015 Special Olympics world games kicking off this weekend in los angeles and our own Robin Roberts hosting the Opening Ceremony tomorrow night. She got the chance to sit down with Maria Shriver and her brother tim about the woman who made it all possible, their mom. This year itll be the Largest Sporting and humanitarian event on the planet. 7,000 extraordinary athletes competing in the 2015 Special Olympics world games. One, two, three. Usa. Reporter what does that say about your mothers legacy . It tells me that this population of people really needed Something Like the Special Olympics and they needed a champion like mummy. Reporter the year was 1962. Maria shrivers mother Eunice Kennedy schriever opened a summer camp for children with intellectual disabilities right in her own backyard. As seen in marias new espn documentary brave in the attempt. Mothers came to her and said we have nowhere for our children to go in the summer. No camp will accept our kids. No school will accept our kids and shes like, bring them here. Reporter just six years later the very first Special Olympics world games were held at chicagos soldier field. Eunice Kennedy Shriver center stage at the Opening Ceremony. Let me win but if i cannot win let me be brave at the attempt. Its great about sports. Something about that unifies us and brings us together somehow. I think she felt if she showed that people with intellectual disabilities could compete against you on the Playing Field they could run better than you, do gymnastics you would have to adjust what you thought people with intellectual disabilities were capable. Marias brother tim shriver says his late mother is never far away. Being around the athletes i feel like i get to see my mom in some ways every day. I get to boo he reminded why she fought so hard. Why she trusted sports to be a revolutionary tool. A tool for athletes like chevy. At 114 pounds he can dead lift 2 1 2 times his body weight its that incredible strategy that defines these athletes reminding all of us what it really means to be a competitor in sports and in life. And our countdown to the Special Olympics world games hosted by robin airs tomorrow at 2 30 p. M. On abc and then 8 00 p. M.

Before we talk about the movie i want to talk about headlines youve been making. Youve had difficult Financial Issues and youve testified in court. Yeah, it wasnt that difficult. Its just, you know, i have to readjust reorganize my finances and for various i have various liabilities in Different Cases that i have to, you know, protect. We saw you on instagram. You said in front of this picture of a smart car with the caption times are hard out here. Yeah, times are hard and need to get a little smart car. But times are good professionally because this movie southpaw is incredible. Youre phenomenal in it, as well. We hear the director Antoine Fuqua wanted you in it because you have ties to the boxing world. Yeah, my involvement with the sport of boxing comes from my relationship with the top fighters in it, you know, me and floyd is why i was involved in the sport of boxing, period. And it gave me some information for this actual character in this project. Your character is incredible. Jordan, lets i want to take a look at a clip. Youre trying to convince billy, Jake Gyllenhaals character, to get back in the ring after a tragedy. Lets watch. Every time i seen you fight you climb in there alone. Every time you bled you bled your blood. When you sat down on that stool and it felt like death and you felt like you couldnt get up, you got up. You did that. You need to get back to that. The way you grew up, on the streets. Its a big deal. Get back to doing what you do, man. Your character jordan starts out with good intentions then he falls into a gray area. Is that very similar to what happens in real life . Yeah, because, you know, the promoters all have business in mind and at points the fighters, financially they get in a cycle of fight, spending money, fight. They want all the money so at the point in their career they started out together, jordan and billy and they finally reach a point where hes getting the largest contract of his career and he doesnt want to sign the contract. Did you draw from some personal experiences. Yeah, ive worked with fighters at different points like theyll need the money financially and wont take the fight so i understand that. Yeah, well, you know what, you obviously have shown what a phenomenal acting career you have. You also were the executive producer and star of the hit show power. Oh, yes. And maybe you heard his music. You know, a little music career there on the side, as well. You recently had your debut single get low off your album coming out in the fall.
