What were learning about the war reenactments that eric frein was involved in from somebody who was right there with him. And iphone fan frenzy. Millions are glued to apples newest hightech gadget this morning. Others wondering, is it worth it . Is bigger better . How is that new camera . And will it really make credit cards a thing of the past . Hey, good morning. We want to get straight to our top story this morning. The fencejumper at the white house. How he made it so far, actually getting inside the doors. The incident caused a rare evacuation of the white house. And is now under investigation. Pierre thomas has more from washington. Pierre, i imagine the secret service facing some tough questions . Reporter good morning, paula. No one was injured. Today, some members of congress are demanding an answer to one basic question. How could this happen . Everybody out right now. Go back. Everybody into the park. Reporter 7 20 p. M. This man scales the fence of the white house, racing across the north lawn. Get back, get back, get back. Reporter he covers 200 feet in just seconds, coming within 50 yards of a guard tower before breaking to the right. Watch here as he makes his way to the driveway of the residence. Veering behind this line of bushes as the secret Service Personnel respond. But its too late. The man makes it to the portico door, getting inside before hes arrested. The idea that he could walk into the white house, that it actually was unsecure is the troubling aspect. Reporter secret Service Officials say Omar Gonzalez, 42, from texas, did not appear to be armed when he jumped the fence. And ho weapons were found when he was arrested. Just minutes before, the president an his daughters lifted off on the other side of the building in marine one. Inside, reporters were quickly evacuated. Including abc news producer scott withers. The white house is being evacuated including the press corps. As we speak, were being walked out by the secret service. Reporter the incident is under investigation. The secret service says a review has been launched into the response. Officials telling abc news overnight that the location of the arrest is unacceptable. A Law Enforcement official says that the secret service was aware that the first family was not at the white house. And because the man appeared to be unarmed, they made a decision not to use lethal force. Dan . How unusual is the fencejumping . Reporter people jumping the white house fencc5sxr i cant recall someone making it that close, much less getting inside the white house. There are so many questions. Why wasnt that door locked . While the man had no apparent weapons, what if he had a concealed weapon . Of course, so many questions. Pierre, thank you. Paula, over to you. Startling to say the least. Now to those new nr developments in the scandal rocking pro football. Their house is a mess. And after ten days, the nfl commissioner finally breaks his silence. About the roster of nfl players involved in Domestic Violence. Ryan smith is here with the details. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning, paula. Youre right. It had been over a week since Roger Goodell spoke in public, even canceling appearances. Now the embattled commissioner is back, apologizing for his mistakes and planning changes in the nfl. His 45minute press Conference Left critics crying foul. Over the past several weeks, we have seen all too much of the nfl doing wrong. Reporter nfl commissioner Roger Goodell apologizing for mistakes he made during one of the worst scandals in nfl history. The reaction to his remarks, pouring in. We needed someone to go up there and be a leader. To give them hope that things will be done right. And that wasnt done. Reporter some players taking to twitter to voice their anger. Indianapolis colts cornerback Darius Butler calling the press conference pointless. And super bowl champ sidney rice writing, boo this man. Does anybody communicate with these guys . No, we communicate after they get in trouble. Reporter since the first domino fell. That horrific video showing ravens star ray rice punching his thenfiance janay. One player after another, benched, amid accusations of Domestic Violence. Another player, ray mcdonald arrested on suspicion of Domestic Violence remains on the field. The commissioner, silent for more than a week until now, answering question after question about what he knew and when he knew it. It was clear there was an act of Domestic Violence. But it was inconsistent with the way he described what happened. I would have loved to have seen that tape. Reporter overnight, another bombshell in the rice case. Our Sister Network espn reports that the ravens had a detailed description of the elevator beating, but Team Officials still lobbied the nfl for leniency for rice. In a Statement Released overnight, the team calls the report false assumptions and perhaps misunderstandings. Behind the podium, the commissioner vowing that the league must change. If our personal conduct policy needs to be changed and updated, we need to do that. Reporter goodell said that the league will hold education sessions for teams and owners and partner with Domestic Violence groups. They will develop a new player conduct policy. That he wants to have many place by the super bowl. When asked if he would resign, he said he hasnt thought about it and hes focused on his job. I bet he has. Ryan smith, thank you very much. Lets turn to abc news contributor and usa today columnist christine brennan. Joining us from chicago. Christine, good morning, thank you for joining us. Youre saying this could be the biggest scandal in u. S. Sports history. So how has goodell shown, thus far, that he can lead the nfl out of this mess . Hes apologized a lot. And we have never heard a commissioner apologize more, paula. I think thats a start. But theres a lot to apologize for. This is a mess. This is, as we said, the worst scandal i think in u. S. Sports history. If hes learning from this, as he said, appointing people, experts, getting them in, starting to do things that need to be done, not just in the nfl but throughout u. S. Pro sports leagues. Thats the positive. Theres a lot of negative. But i would say if he can really make these changes with desic violence and in the policy and lead the way for other sports leagues, theres a chance he could survive. The National Organization of women calling for his resignation. Players not backing him. The bombshell overnight that he may have known about the ray rice assault back in february. Can he survive . Its a great question. A week ago, i thought yes, for sure. Now, im not so sure. I think if it is proven that Roger Goodell lied, that he didnt tell the truth, that there was a coverup, i think he cant survive. And i also wonder about the leadership of the Baltimore Ravens. If they were involved in that. I think short of that, he may well survive. He serves at the pleasure of the owners. It would have to be the owners. Not a politician. The owners would have to want to get rid of him. Thank you, christine brennan. Thank you. Dan . Thanks, paula. Thanks, christine.

Its something every parent has nightmares about. And now, a hightech device promises to turn your phone into a Warning System at the first sign of trouble. Gma investigates the iswimband. Heres Mara Schiavocampo to tell us if it works. Reporter pool play. A favorite activity for children. Some parents teaching their kids to swim. Before they can even walk. But, fun in the water can also be very dangerous. Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death for children. 88 happening even when a parent is present. But now, new technology could become an important tool in pool safety. This is the iswimband. And here is how it works. Your child wears it while swimming. If theyre submerged for too long [ alarm sounding ] your iphone lets off a piercing alarm. Is the idea that time passes so quickly that its easy not to notice that your child may be underwater . If youre barbecuing. Your friends are over. Yes. Absolutely. Even when people are looking at the water, checking it, its very difficult to distinguish between a child underwater playing and a child underwater drowning. A child can drown in as little as 20 seconds. It happens that fast. Reporter parents can set the timer on the band from 10 to 30 seconds. Though the company says the alert can be delayed a few seconds to process. Lets put it on. Reporter theres also a wristband with an even shorter interval. The wristband is for a nonswimmer. Like a toddler. Given the higher safety risk, the alert goes off just seconds after its submerged. [ alarm sounding ] gma investigates decided to give the iswimband a try. Good, that was right on the money. Reporter with this aquatic safety expert and life guards standing by, the swimming instructor submerges himself into the water ten times for every interval the iswimband offers. Thats the 10, 20, and 30second warnings. Only one time we had it on the money. Reporter the alarm sounded in every instance. Hitting the exact time once. Every other time, with a three to fivesecond delay. It alerted. Pretty much when it said it was. It was just a little delay. I think it could definitely help save lives. Its an added bonus. But swimming lessons and watching your children are definitely paramount. Reporter for good morning america, Mara Schiavocampo, abc news, new york. Now the creators of the band note, its not a replacement for vigilant supervision. And experts say an adult should always be present when children are swimming. The band is designed as one more tool to keep kids safe. And extra security doesnt come cheap. Its 79. I think i might order a couple, just for peace of mind. Its every parents worst nightmare. It happens quickly. Coming up on good morning america, the booboo breakup. Sara . Well, that was a transition. Clearly its pop. That was a sara line. Did sugar bear see it coming . Did she . Sara .
