Reporter there are reports employee calling advising they are riding in the break room at this time. Reporter in all four women and one man are shot and killed. I found two ladies that were on the floor, one was face down, a lot of blood, a pool of blood on the ground and there was another lady right next to her. I checked to see for a pulse. She didnt have any. Reporter a massive search for the suspect follows reports that he ran out headed for the nearby highway. Aga indoors, stay secure. If you see something, say something. Reporter police saying they have no motive. The atf and fbi joining local police at the sprawling crime scene. Hours after the shootings terrified survivors from inside the mall were bused to a nearby church, anxious family members waiting for them. Again, the suspect is considered armed and very dangerous. People who live in the area are being urged to keep their doors locked. Its a horrifying story and its not over yet. Neal, thank you. Just moments ago i spoke to armondo patino who works at the mall and was right there when the shots were fired. Armondo, i know that you work at tmobile which is just a couple of stores down from the macys. Did you know what was happening as it began to happen . I honestly did not. I heard the first shot and the second shot and i stood there. I did not know what was going on. I was a little confused at the time because i didnt think they were gunshots and then out of nowhere, i hear two, three, four, five and id see a bunch of people running out of macys and thats when i knew that shots were fired and, i mean, everybody went crazy, so, you know, i did what i could. I was i ran to my store obviously and there were actually people that were in just you then we just stayed there, you know, a bunch of people were just shocked in the room and we just waited for safety. What kind of impact do you think this will have on your community . You know, i believe this is going to have a big impact because i mean were two small towns and, you know, this is our mall. This is our community and, you know, we like to feel safe in the community at least, you know, and secure and, you know, this happening is kind of you know, it shocked everybody. It shocked me as wel just something that the community is going to have to get through and, you know, in time we will but its a sad day. Indeed, and were sending our best to you and to everybody in that community. Thank you again for your time this morning and for doing what you could overnight when the worst imaginable took place. Armondo patino, thank you. Thank you. And we will continue to follow that story. Dan, thank you. And moving now to the in charlotte, income nfshths. All of this comes as his family releases this harrowing video showing the final moments of keith lamont scotts life. Abcs eva pilgrim is in charlotte this morning for us where there were more protests overnight. Eva, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, paula. Damage from prior protests has the city of charlotte on guard this morning. But we have seen now a second night of peaceful protests. This as were learning more about the Fatal Shooting that this morning investigators reportedly saying new evidence in the shooting death of keith scott. Sources telling charlotte abc affiliate wsoc that testing of the weapon cops say was found at the scene allegedly shows a match for keith scotts fingerprints, dna and blood. Dont shoot him. Dont shoot him. He has no weapon. Reporter this coming as chilling new video captured by keiths wife shows her begging Charlotte Police not to shoot drop the gun. Keith. Dont do it. Drop the gun. Keith, get out the car. Keith, keith. Dont you do it. Dont you do it. Keith, keith, keith. Dont you do it. Did you shoot him . Did you shoot him . Scotts wife in disbelief. Be etter not be dead. Im not going to coming near you. He better be alive. [ chanting ] reporter for days protesters and scotts family have called on the police to release officer body cam and dash cam of the shooting. Charlottes police chief arguing the police video doesnt paint a full picture and wont release it until more questions are answered. If i were to put it out indisdiscriminately and it doesnt give you good context, it can inflame the situation. And make it even worse. Seen the police video says its not clear what was in keith scotts hand, but the Police Department says scott was armed and that this image captured after the shooting shows the gun they recovered. When you look at the picture they released its hard to tell what it is. It could be a gun. But its not clear. Reporter from the other angle this video shows what may be that same object far from the body raising more questions than it answers. The state now taking over the investigation. As far as that pole state says because cmpd has the original copy of that video, they have the Legal Authority to release it. The state telling us city leaders are actively discussing the release of that video. Paula. All right, thank you so much, eva. We want to bring in abc legal analyst sunny hostin who is also in charlotte for us this morning. Sunny, good morning. We want to talk about that report. According to our abc affiliate right there in charlotte, wsoc quoting a source, they say the weapon found by cops at the scotts blood, his fingerprints, his dna, but it seems like bits and pieces of information are coming to light. Does it confuse the investigation . I think so. I mean, these investigations, paula, are very fluid and we are in the early days of the investigation here and so any conclusions drawn upon alleged leaked information would be premature and it certainly does compromise the investigation. I think whats certainly important to note is that the family has requested an independent investigator. An independent investigation. That is now considered the best practice when it comes to these Police Involved shootings and we do now know that the state bureau of investigation is now handling this case and so, again, investigation is very, very fluid and at its earliest stages. We saw that video that keith scotts wife shot. The family has also seen the police video. But police so far are resisting you just heard the chief say he didnt want to inflame the situation. Is that the right call . I dont think its the right call and i can tell you that last night i was in downtown charlotte. I was speaking to a lot of the protesters. There were chants there was chanting, release the tapes, and every Single Person that i spoke to felt that the Police Department was being less than transparent. Its leading to a distrust of this investigation and, again, best practices has been to be much more transparent with the community and i think that would go a long way in terms of giving this broken and fractured community a better, better sense of justice here. Cries for transparency this morning right there in charlotte. Sunny, thank you. Dan. We move on now to the race for president and tminus 2 1 2 days until what promises to be an epic night in american politics. Clinton versus trump in their first debate. Around 100 Million Viewers expected. Both candidates are busy mary bruce is in our Washington Bureau with more. Mary, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan. Well, with that pivotal debate just around the corner, the campaigns are study iing each other weaknesses, setting expectations and already playing head games. This morning, two very different candidates preparing to face off in two very different ways. In one corner hillary clinton, the veteran debater, readying for her most unpredictable opponent yet taking the traditional route, shes books holding mock debates and looking to get under trumps skin starting with the front row. Im out. Im out. Reporter her campaign giving a coveted ticket to trumps nemesis, fellow brash billionaire mark cuban. Lets put it this way, if he came on shark tank, i wouldntmake the investment. Reporter this will be trumps 12th debate but his first oneonone and when it comes to prep, hes wary of much that they get up there and they get lockjaw, they cant speak. Reporter trump is bringing in backup. Former new york mayor Rudy Giuliani leading fridays strategy session. Lets have the American People for once actually see a person actually be themselves. Reporter so no mock debates, just rapidfire questioning and a careful review of clintons past performances. And now trump is getting a surprise boost from a former rival. Lyin ted. He puts it down and he lies. Reporter just two months ago ted cruz refused to endorse trump at the convention. Vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom. Reporter now an aboutface the texas senator saying he will vote for trump speaking with our houston station ktrk. I have forgiven him, this is not personal. Its not about our family. Its about the country. Back now with mary. Mary, i guess the question is, heart . Why now and who benefits more here, cruz or trump . This is a risky gamble for ted cruz, no question. After taking a hard personal and principled stance against trump, cruzs change of heart is shocking but may be politically advantageous. Cruz is facing a possible primary challenge and the rnc has said republicans who dont back trump could be made to pay for it down the road. Dan. That is true. But many of cruzs supporters are unhappy this morning. Mary bruce, thank you very much. We want to bring in abc news political analyst matthew dowd joining us from austin, texas, this morning. Hi, matthew. So, apparently hell froze over and ted cruz endorsed donald trump. Is it really going to matter in the end . Good morning. I actually think it doesnt help donald trump at all. Its not going to contribute anything in the course of this campaign but i actually think it hurts ted cruz in his future ambitions, one to get reelected u. S. Senator here in texas but, two, running if he wants and donald trump loses to run for because it makes him look cravenly opportunistic and unprincipled and doesnt help ted. Lets loop back to the debate on monday night. The stylisticic differences between these two candidates could hardly be more stark. Youve got the super studious clinton and seat of the pants up until now trump. How is this likely to play out on stage . I think what will play out is each of their strengths and weaknesses are going to need to go on the other side so, hillary clinton, very doesnt have a gut connection with the american public. She has to become more visceral i think in the course of that debate. I think donald trump very visceral has to be has to look more cerebral and have more of a head connection in this, so they each have to go to the other sides strength and adapt that in the course that have hour and a half. 1234r we know that this will be the first time trump has debated oneonone. Consequential do you think this debate is likely to be and will it really affect the eventual outcome . This is the most important moment of the entire Campaign Starting at the nomination process until election day. I think without a doubt its going to have more of an effect than anything else in this race in the time that we have left in this. It will move voters. Now, how permanent that movement is, we dont know. Weve seen it happen in the past but this thing will be watched by as many people as watched the super bowl. As we said, an epic night in american politics. Matthew, we know youll be right there for all of it. Thanks, morning. A reminder, you can watch that right here on monday night, abc news chief anchor George Stephanopoulos will be leading our coverage. Hell be joined by martha raddatz, david muir, jon karl, tom llamas, cecilia vega, byron pitts and matthew dowd who you just saw, as well as Cokie Roberts and it all starts at 9 00 eastern.

The president rejecting the measure that would allow survivors and the families of 9 11 victims to sue the government of saudi arabia saying hes concerned that its going to leave the u. S. Open to similar lawsuits. Congress is expected to override that president ial veto. Authorities say they suspect Russian Hackers were behind that massive attack that exposed 500 million personal yahoo accounts and posted a scan of Michelle Obamas passport online. Yahoo is now being sued over this attack.

The rivers in wisconsin are at least cresting now and should be receding. That doesnt do much for the damage there, but the rivers in iowa are still rising, especially the cedar river which got to get through cedar rapids. Thats not going to crest until monday and then that water is going to get down into the mississippi, so this is going to be an ongoing issue and another front coming through.

Obama, at the Democratic National convention when you said, i wake up every morning in a house and i watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent black young womeplaying with their dogs on the white house lawn.

To know that there are young people who now believe because of both of you that anything is possible, how does it make you feel in your heart and your head .

I think text weekend allowing us to focus on reconnecting and conversation and looking deep into one anothers eyes again just like were looking deep into Rachel Smiths eyes. Deep into your eyes and youre so right, paula. We are so guilty of this tech obsession here but how many times a day are you glued to your phone texting . How long could you go without doing it, an hour, a day, a whole weekend . Well, that is one family that is exactly what one family is doing. Theyre pledging to go this entire weekend without using their fingers to do the talking. [ phone ringing ] have become our modern day melody, just ask aileen smith, mom of two boys and ceo of a tech company. So, i am constantly working seven days a week, 12hour days. I know what it means to be hyperconnected. Throughout the day i probably grab my phone to text someone every 10 to 15 minutes. One group is aiming to change that at least for a few days by launching no text weekend. No text weekend begins with a pers we encourage you to call your friends, call your family. No texting for the weekend. Reporter and its not just a problem for the teens and tweens, even mom and dad find the challenge daunting. But no texting. Well start first thing on saturday. Its 7 00 p. M. Friday. Reporter crow creator jen and alison say while texting is magical, were doing it too often and using it for conversations we should be having in person. Emotional information but you dont know how its landing with the other person, 90 of communication is nonverbal. Reporter so this weekend is all about reclaiming conversations and connecting with one another with your voice, not your screen. This is awesome. This is something that we have to do because its important to for me as both mom and ceo to know stop, unplug. Focus on the people that are right there right in front of you. All right. Are you ready for this . Am i . Are you . Are you . You think its going to be text . Youre always on your phone and just idly doing it. Oh the followup to that, right . So obviously the official no text weekend is right now this weekend, so if you missed out on the first 12 hours or so, its not too late to get in on the action of the challenge so how would you guys fare . I think its interesting because that mother and son, they clearly have a lot to talk about. Clearly. I got a text from from our stage manager bill who is right off camera in the middle that story. You know what, i really admire and sometimes i have a 1 1 2yearold son and sometimes ill be texting at home and he will throw things at my head. They notice big time. My 2yearold with his binkie in his mouth will say, put your phone down. Okay, youre right. Yes. I dont want to set a bad example. Im notorious for texting novels so this weekend im definitely inspired to pick up the phone and call at least oneliners. At least trim it down to oneliners. Are we in . Are we going to do this . Ill do it. I dont text that much. Sure. Dune. Im in. Im come on, dan. Im not doing it. Im hooked on it. Can you believe that . I might be lying.
