Millions of people got the suspects name and age sent right to their devices, the first time the alert system was used for Something Like this. Appears it was quite effective. Amy robach is on the scene where the suspect was caught hours after that alert went out in linden, new jersey. Good morning, amy. Reporter good morning, robin. Yes, it all went down behind me. Rahami was found sleeping inside a hallway in that brick building there behind me. A concerned citizen called police, they quickly responded, never expecting to ultimately find and capture the most wanted man in america. Ahmad khan rahami taken into custody after more than 48 hours of terror. Thats the terrorist. Man, this is crazy. Reporter bystanders capturing the moment gunfire erupts as Police Confront the suspect in linden, new jersey. It had to be around 15, 20 theres a guy shooting a gun.

But, of course, more charges expected to be filed in connection with the bombings and word is he is not cooperating with police. Guys, even refusing to give his name at this hour. Back to you. Well see if that changes over time. Amy, thanks very much. Lets get more on rahamis past now from our chief investigative correspondent brian ross. His travels overseas, a real good morning. U. S. Officials are pressing for more information about that mysterious yearlong foreign trip rahami took two years ago to pakistan and afghanistan. And whether h that was the turning point for a young man who friends said once spent most of his time talking about cars, sports, and girls. As a teenager, he attended high school at Edison High School where he graduated in 2007 remembered as a cleancut kid. Shocked classmat took to facebook to express their outrage, recalling this picture of him and good times at a High School Pool party. Someone shared that on facebook, tagged it and said i cant believe i used to be friends with this guy. Reporter as a senior, classmates say he actually became a father. Ahmad had a girlfriend who became pregnant. Who was far along in her pregnancy at the prom. Reporter after a year of junior college, rahami ended up working at the family restaurant, First American fried chicken. Jersey, claiming discrimination against muslims because the city imposed a 10 00 closing time. We had some Code Enforcement problems and noise complaints. Reporter rahami appears to have longed for his family roots with several trips to afghanistan and pakistan. In april 2013, Officials Say he traveled to quetta, pakistan, a known hotbed of extremism then traveled on the not returning to the u. S. Until almost a year later, in march 2014. Causing u. S. Officials to question him on his return. Theyre going to look at where he said he went, does it match . Or did he go off to some rogue mosque or hook up with somebody that could have trained him to become a terrorist . Reporter Officials Say he claimed he was visiting pakistan to see a wife there who he tried but failed to bring back into the country. And officials this morning tell abc news a number of his afghan refugees, and that his mother left the country here in the u. S. , left the u. S. Just three weeks ago and has not returned since. They think that the bombs are sophisticated enough he might have needed training. Two different kinds of bombs he used at least. Well talk more about that. For more lets turn to abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas and former Police Commissioner of new york city ray kelly who is here with us in the studio. Pea area, let me start with you. What are your sources telling you about the investigation where it stands . Whats the latest . Reporter sources are telling me the focus is on the last six months to a year of rahamis life. Who was he talking to and associating with . Theyre searching through phones and computers tied to him to examine his social media footprint trying to determine whether he was radicalized by isis or al qaeda. Some sources suspect he got his bombmaking design from a deadly cookbook posted on al qaedas inspire magazine. Theyre trying to trace his travel during that they want to know who he made contact with there. And that trip was long ago, but officials are leaving no stone unturned. Every aspect of his life is being dissected. Another question theyre asking did he get any help . Anybody else involved with these bombings . Reporter the official word right now is no evidence of a terror cell supporting him but my sources emphasize its so early in the investigation, they need to know a lot more about this man. And they need to know if theres somebody else out there who knew what he was planning to do. All right, pierre, thank you. Ray, what can you tell us about what Law Enforcement is focusing on about the bombs . Well, lots of questions on the part of Law Enforcement was said accomplices are what its all about right now. Whether there are family members involved. The bombs themselves were fairly basic but there were two different types of bombs. There was the pipe bombs using black powder. There were the Pressure Cooker bombs using whats called tannerite. Where did he get these materials . And where did he build the bomb . Apartment, im told, yesterday. So these are questions that will be asked by investigators as soon as this individual will, if he doesnt cooperate they cant get it from him. But theyll ask his family and companions. What was the radicalization process for this ring is individual . And again, obviously, a focus on the trip overseas, we know that he went to other places and truth as to where he went. Did he go to turkey or syria . And obviously these trips are going to be the foundation for much more indepth investigations. Hopefully we can get him to open up about those things. We hope. Thank you, ray. Thanks. Now to how this plays into the race for the white house. Just 49 days until the final votes. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton traded sharp attacks all day and abcs tom llamas is in ft. Myers, florida, where a fiery rally was held by donald trump. Good morning. Reporter george, good morning. Donald trump out with colorful thoughts about that bombing suspect and how hes being donald trump jr. , who is making headlines. Overnight, donald trump sharing his theory of why bombing suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami apparently wasnt on any type of watch list. The guy over the chicken stand brought litigation, a lot of litigation against different people. And ill bet you thats why he was on no list. He was on no list, probably didnt want to put him because they didnt want to get sued. Reporter trump, railing against rahami in a rally in ft. Myers, florida. Predicting authorities would be coddling him. He will be given a fully modern and updated hospital room. And hell probably even have room service knowing the way our country is. Reporter the republican nominee blaming homegrown terror on lax policies and, again, calling for increased profiling. Im saying youre going to have to profile. Were going to have to start profiling. Reporter Hillary Clinton focusing her policy on outreach. It is crucial that we between Law Enforcement and muslimamerican communities. Reporter accusing trump of motivating isis with his words and actions. Weve heard that from former cia director michael hayden, who made it a very clear point when he said, donald trump is being used as a recruiting sergeant for the terrorists. Reporter trumps son don jr. Also getting into the debate and drawing some fire for this tweet which reads if i had a bowl of skittles and i told you three would kill you, would you take a handful . Thats our syrian refugee problem. The tweet igniting outrage from people saying don jr. Shouldnt be comparing Syrian Refugees to pieces of candy. A Clinton Campaign spokesperson responding, calling it disgusting. Now the Mars Corporation is out with their own statement. Refugees are people. Its an inappropriate analogy. We respectfully refrain from further comment as that could be misinterpreted as marketing. Now don jr. s tweet is still, this morning, blowing up on social media. Real pattern there. Tom, thanks very much. Jon karl has more on this. You got tweets blowing up. You saw donald trump at the rally. And he and Hillary Clinton diametrically opposed positions on terror. Yet theyre 48 to 45 . Republicans always have a big advantage on the issue of terrorism going back to 9 11, but in this race its largely our poll, within the margin of error, in some polls he has a slight advantage. In others, she has a slight advantage. But they could not be more different on this. Hillary clinton offering sober, steady leadership. And donald trump channeling that raw emotion at terrorism. You know why shes doing it. A big difference on who americans think can handle international crisis. A huge advantage right there. She has the big advantage on shes also carving out a different spot than barack obama on this. It was interesting to see her come out before the president to condemn these attacks, to brand them as terrorism before the president. Shes trying to find a ground between donald trump and barack obama. Some other political stories out there. You saw Chris Christie, that trial on the George Washington bridge scandal a couple of years back, the bridgegate scandal. And prosecutors saying he knew about the traffic jams yet donald trump is standing by him. Absolutely but if you donald trump came out and said, of course, Chris Christie knew. He definitely knew. I mean, he was emphatic so perhaps the person least surprised by this allegation is donald trump himself. Hes sticking to christie and in doing so hes saying hes sticking to him because christie has always stood by him. Meanwhile, maybe a big defection on the republican side from donald trump. Yet the news is coming from a member of the Kennedy Family on this next one. The two most political families, kennedys and bushes Ethel Kennedy visiting with former president bush in maine. She said he said hes voting for Hillary Clinton. The interesting thing, theres no denial from the bush family on this. The spokesperson simply said nobody overheard their conversation. And jeb bush has said hes not voting for trump but has not said hes voting for hillary. Exactly. Jon karl, thank you very much. The debate less than a week away. Ill anchor our prime time coverage at 9 00 eastern with analysis from our whole team. Much for the two candidates to discuss. Turning to that fatal roadside shooting by police in oklahoma. Newly released video raising questions about why an unarmed man was shot and killed. Abcs Clayton Sandell is in tulsa with the moments that were caught on tape. Good morclayton. Reporter good morning, robin. Yeah, those videos are disturbing and police here in tulsa tell me they are so concerned by what they see theyve asked the department of justice to help investigate. Appeared to be having car trouble ended up shot dead by police. Somebody left their vehicle running in the middle of the street with the doors wide open. Reporter after that 911 call friday night, tulsa Police Officer betty shelby arrives finding Terence Crutcher in the street. She radios he isnt cooperating. Hold traffic. Ive got a subject that wont show me his hands. Reporter minutes later, with at least four officers surrounding crutcher, his hands are raised. But he seems to ignore their time for a taser, i think. That looks like a bad dude too. Reporter its hard to make out what happens next. Police say crutcher makes a move for something inside his car. One officer fires his taser. Officer shelby fires her gun. Shots fired reporter crutchers family believes the shooting is part of what they call an epidemic of unarmed people of color killed by police. That big bad dude was my twin brother. That big, bad dude was a father. Reporter tulsas police chief says the 40yearold was here and now there was no gun on the suspect or in the suspects vehicle. Reporter crutchers family says he didnt deserve to die. But that officer shelby deserves to be charged. I want that officer to be held to the same standard. And we just want justice for my brother. So hell know as he looks down on us that his life truly mattered. Reporter now the decision on whether or not that officer will face charges, fedel could take weeks. In the meantime, that officer is on paid leave. Guys, back to you. And for the police chief to come out immediately and say there was no gun on the gentleman and no gun in his vehicle, right away e he made that clear. Big statement. Big statement made. All right. Everybody, take a look at this. This is what you unfortunately might see if you try to get gas in the southeast. A broken pipeline is causing prices to skyrocket and our Steve Osunsami has more on the reporter for drivers running on fumes, its frightening. These are the signs turning them away from gas stations across the deep south. No service, no fuel. The gas is sold out. We tried to get some gas. They dont have any. Its frustrating. We dont have no gas right now. Its, like, crazy. Reporter adding insult to injury, some service stations are having a jolly good time raising prices. One station charging as much as 4. 50 a gallon. The states attorney general said he heard more than 600 reports of possible price gouging. All my money is going to gas. I feel like were being charged unfairly. Reporter it all started 11 days ago with a leak along the Colonial Pipeline in alabama which provides the east coast with nearly 40 of its gasoline. Nearly 300,000 gallons spilled into this pond. Hundreds of workers are now building a bypass around the leak that they hope to finish by the end of the week. In the meanwhile, six states are emergency. Gas prices are up an average 16 cents a gallon in georgia, up 11 cents a gallon in tennessee. And aaa says that will continue until the pipeline is fully restored. We have to make sure as were going from place to place that we have gas, so hopefully they can get the problem resolved. Reporter this service station behind me is one of many across this city that has no gas. Authorities here insist theres enough fuel supply for everyone. Bu gas at the same time. The governor here in georgia has issued an executive order against price gouging. Once they finish the bypass, were told it will only take an hour to get it up and running. Tough when everybody has to get to work. To ginger and more on those fires. This fire has tripled in size. This is bad and erratic winds and low humidity a big part of the problem. More than 6,000 acres and watching Tropical Storm paine on n the southern parts of coming up another big headline for those going to the gas station this morning.

Lawsuit for comedian jim carrey. His former girlfriends estranged husband blaming him for her suicide. Abcs Kayna Whitworth is in los angeles with all the details for us and carreys response. Good morning, kayna. Reporter robin, good morning. Jim carrey vowing to fight this lawsuit calling it a terrible shame saying there are some moments in life when you have to stand up and defend your honor. Hes phone for being the funny man of the big screen but this morning jim carrey is facin wrongful death lawsuit claims hes responsible for the overdose suicide of his on and off girlfriend, cathriona white. White, overdosing on prescription drugs, the coroner ruling it a suicide. Now whites estranged husband is blaming carrey for the 30yearolds death. A 30yearold young lady who was found deceased with medication that is not prescribed to her. Reporter according to Court Documents mark burton is name arthur king to obtain and provide prescription drugs to white. Including ambien, percocet and propranolol knowing she was prone to sue identify and depression found in her home. It claims carrey sent a text message to white days after knowing she was already dead as part of a coverup about her having his medication. You say that mr. Carrey took steps to conceal his and culpability in her death and you say that he did that by sending this text message. The text message asked in very formal terms do you know where my medication is . I had a full bottle of pills under my sink which was prescribed for my back pain. It is missing. Thats not how two individuals who have a personal relationship communicate. Reporter at the time of the expenses, something the lawsuit says was an attempt to paint carrey as a grieving good guy. But burton claims carrey stiffed the family and never followed through. Overnight the actor telling abc news, i will not tolerate this heartless attempt to exploit me or the woman i loved. Cats troubles were born long before i metry hen sadly her tragic end was beyond anyones control. Now, according to officials white had attempted to take she left behind two notes, both of them for carrey along with a box of her sbands belongings. Robin. All right, kayna, thank you. Abcs chief legal analyst dan abrams joins us now. How difficult is it to win a case like this. When someone commits suicide, an adult its very difficult for family members to win because it was the actions of the adult. With that said, they can still move forward with this kind of lawsuit but the most important thing theyre going to be able position is she stole the drugs. His lawyer has made that statement already. So first of all theyll have to say he provided the drugs. Secondly theyll have to be able to demonstrate those were the drugs that killed her and, number three, theyre going to have to show it was reasonably foreseeable that Something Like this could or would happen. Thats a lot to have to try and prove. What about the claim that carrey used a false name to obtain some of these. Not helpful fact for if he had been using a fake name to get drugs for her, that would be a much bigger problem than using a fake name to get drugs for him. Their position, carreys position is actors do this all the time. Celebrities do this all the time to protect their privacy. Thats not really a Legal Defense because youre not supposed to do that. Youre not supposed to give a fake name. But that doesnt necessarily mean that she that the family wins the lawsuit, that this guy wins the lawsuit just because the family also, theyre really banking on those Text Messages and feel theyre damaging. You heard it from the lawyer. Basically saying that this was a ruse to cover it up. Maybe, that will be an important question in terms of did he provide her with the drugs . An important question not the only question in this lawsuit, but thats the most important hurdle for them to overcome first, which is he gave her the drugs, because if they cant show he gave her the drugs they have no case whatsoever. I know its a difficult tim a loss like this. Absolutely. Very personal case. Very much so. All right, dan, thanks very much. Over to michael now and find out whats on the big board. Michael. All right, thank you, robin. Coming up on our big board are you throwing away money at the gas pump .

Our team of insiders standing by to weigh in on todays top stories including sunny hostin at the table. We begin with a big bang on the hot seat. John stumpf testifying about that fake account scandal and Rebecca Jarvis has been tracking the story, boy, rebecca, Congress Just jumped on this. You got 2 million fake account, 5,000 employees fired. The executive in charge leaves with package. Hes going to have a hard time today. Yeah, this is going to get heated today, george. The ceo of wells Fargo John Stumpf will be in the hot seat. Hell make the point that he is deeply sorry that this was not an orchestrated effort but you can believe that the senators on the other side doing the grilling are going to raise questions like, how could this happen and how could the person who was running this division over those five years when all of those fake accounts were created, how can that person have walked out of wells fargo with a kind of pay package in the millions of dollars in compensation that they walked out . Theyre going to be pushing today for theyll say to wells fargo that person should not have left the company with that kind of money. You should take it back. Rebecca, what can Congress Actually do . Say they say you should take it back. Can they actually make that happen, first of all, secondly, what does it do for the customer. Ultimately this is going to be a pr nightmare for wells fargo. Either way. But wells fargo is ultimately the arbiter and make the decision whether that happens and as far as the customer is concerned wells fargo in this whole mess has set aside 5 million to compensate any customer who was impacted by this. Theyve already paid out 2. 6 million and have the 2. 4 million set aside but this is really about regaining trust at hard to gain it back once you lose it, george. It sure is. Thank you, rebecca. Now tay report out about throwing away money at the gas pump. According to research by aaa, america has wasted billions of dollars. Last year using premium gas they didnt need and our own Abcs David Kerley joins us. Hello, david. Good morning. Good morning, michael. You know we all like to take care of our cars. Im one of the guys who puts up the pump and i go, you know what, ill get that 91, that i feel like it does but thats billions and a serious chunk of change. The high octane youre talking about, the different choices you have, regular or premium and, you know, do you want to give your car ground beef or a steak. Give it premium. Believe this, 16 million americans are putting premium in a car that doesnt need it and according to aaa, that means they are wasting money, 2 2. 1 billion a year spent on premium gas that you dont really need. Road that americans drive take regular gas and what aaa is saying, guys, is basically thats all you need to put in in your regular gas and itll work just fine. Seems like youre wasting all that hall of fame change. I know. Sunny is over here huffing and puffing like ive been wasting money. Im putting in regular. Starting today. Heres the other side of the story. We have a viewer, nicole, who tweeted on our social site and said she uses it in her older car because it knocks and pings if she doesnt. So can it make the vehicle r better even if its not required . Yes, shes probably getting rid of the ping but the problem is the money shes spending if she saved it all and tuned up the car and made it run the way it was supposed to it wouldnt be pinging. What aaa did, they took cars and put it on a treadmill for cars and found there was no increase in horsepower, no increase in performance if you put premium in a regular. The advice fm aaa make sure its running right and put in the regular gas. Premium continue to put premium in. Theres your excuse. Theres my excuse. That new lawsuit about cheerios. General mills defending itself against this and sunny is here with more. A spokesperson said General Mills continues to stand behind the quality of these products and the accuracy of the products labels. What exactly are the plaintiffs complaining about. Our honey nut cheerios. The complainants are listen, honey nut cheerios is being deceptively advertised so touting all the Health Benefits saying it can lower cholesterol but highlighting the fact it has a pretty high sugar content saying that is not right. Not giving the consumer the right information. But theres a growing number of lawsuits against these Big Food Companies and even if this one is successful how does it impact or affect the industry. These lawsuits really arent successful. Most of them dont work but i on this issue and makes sure that the consumer looks a little more carefully at these labels and it also makes these Companies Better companies. It makes them good corporate citizens so theres not as much duping going on so really a relationship but i always caution people, just read the labels because even though they may deceptively advertise on the front, if you look at the side, the content is there so do your job as a mom, do your job as a parent. Look at the label. You wanted to stick with those honey nut cheerios. I you got to look. I just assume all cereal has sugar and im eating it because i want it. Plain and simple. Sunny, thank you. David, thank you and rebecca, thank you, as well. Coming up, tim tebows big debut on the baseball field. George, i thought you were going to leave here. You were going to play for the mets.
