Thousand miles away. Dueling jackpots, Mega Millions growing even larger overnight as they snap up tickets for the powerball drawing and the advice you havent heard before. Get ready for new years. Security beefed up for the big ball drop in times square. The unprecedented precautions, the good riddance to bad memories. Dating this year. And the dress rehearsal. Confetti at the ready. Hey, good morning, lets bring up that shredding video. This is a new years tradition i had not heard of. Giant shredit truck. Adrienne showed up with thats not your stuff. No, that is my stuff. What does that say about your 2017 . I had a bag baggage, get it, i mean i literally emotional, physical stuff that i needed to just say, let it go. Let it go and you did. And i did. Theres a reason that song resonates with so many people. That has to be extremely cathartic. Thats a pretty good segue because that movie that song comes from frozen, right . And it is a frozen tundra outside. You are a genius. We will start with the brutal blast of cold air moving from the plains into the east coast teeing up what could be the coldest new years eve in years. Low visibility causing a roughly 40car pileup in muskegon. Its cold outside, rob. It is. Did i just hear, let it snow, let it snow. Flakes are beginning to fall in central park. Its a balmy 20 degrees because compared to what weve dean with no wind here it feels actually relatively warm but thats all more cold coming in and, yes, more snow as well. Overnight heavy snow and ice blasting the midwest into the northeast with windchills dropping well below zero. This is something i havent seen in a long time. Officials urging people to be outside as little as possible. These temperatures can cause frostbite. Hypothermia already claiming lives in illinois and kentucky. Sometimes we see a lot of people who lose fingers and toes from hypothermia. The Minnehaha Falls frozen over in minnesota in the subzero temperatures. The st. Marys river along the border of michigan also frozen. The u. S. Coast guard having to cut through the ice to free the stranded ships. Its coming at times faster than we can keep up with it. Winter weather alerts, snow and ice creating dangerous driving conditions in iowa as many as 20 cars ending up on the side of the road. In michigan 40 vehicles in this pileup. One person killed in collision in indiana and on the idaho wyoming border a Community Came together to rescue a dozen elk from the freezing water. Good work. Reporter erie, pennsylvania, crushed with snow. Volunteer Emergency Response teams having to dig some residents out of the historic snow. The neighbor called in and she told us over there and asked us, please, please, come help me. Nobody will help me and we come over and took care of her. Mind boggling when you think someone has to dig them out of their home because it has snowed so much. Everybody east of the rockies has seen the cold and look at this reinforcing shot. Windchill wantings that encompass several states. Dangerously cold air coming in as we go through the next 24 to 48 hours and a lot of folks will be partying outside getting where they need to be for new years eve celebrations and teens and lower 20s, below zero will be the call as you mentioned the coldest air in the big apple since dan and paula, back inside. It is cold outside, thank you. The cold weather not expected to deter an estimated 1 million very committed revelers from descending upon times square. Security though is going to be tighter than ever and nypd gave us an inside look and marcus moore has details. Marcus, good morning to you. Reporter dan and paula, good morning. They already have barricades set up here at times square and will be blocking off 22ty blocks. That is the largest perimeter theyve ever had for new years eve and for the very First Time Police will be screening guests at hotels and also restaurants here in times square. And abc news was given unprecedented access of the security plan for this years new years eve celebration and the Police Commissioner giving some of the details to our gio benitez and it includes bombsniffing dogs as well as a network of 10,000 cameras, Police Officers in the subways, on the streets and in the air, that is significant because the attack in las vegas on october the commissioner says. Of course, theyve always been aware and cognizant of a potential for someone to be at an elevated location and firing down on a crowd but its never happened before to that scale. They have a plan in place and that includes snipers and buildings here in times square as well as officers patrolling from the air. Also, whats significant about the timing of this years celebration is it happens in the midst of two after two attacks in new york city youll recall a man drove onto a jogging path as well as that subway bombing earlier this month. The commissioner says what keeps him up at night is the unknown, that lone wolf who may decide that new years eve will be the day to try to launch an attack. Thats why officials have urged the more than a Million People who will come here to celebrate to come and have a good time but be vigilant as they try to keep people safe this year. Stakes are so high. Thank you very much. We believed to have led to the death of an innocent man in wichita, kansas. Police say a socalled s. W. A. T. ing prank led to him getting shot. Reporter swath. O. W. A. T. ing when someone falsely reports. Whether a dispute between two online gamers led to that fakely call. A prachg call under investigation as police say it led to an innocent mans death. They were arguing and i shot him in the head and hes not breathing. Reporter in a labored voice the prankster telling 911 dispatch he shot his father and was holding his family hostage. The suspect advised he poured gasoline all over the house and wasniing about lighting it. Reporter officers rushed to the wichita, kansas, address given by the caller. When they arrived a 28yearold identified by his family andrew finch appeared in the screen door. Reporter Police Body Cameras rolling as officers instructed finch to raise his hands and walk toward them. They say at first he complied but then moved his hands to his waist. An officer opening fire. He feared that the male had just pulled a weapon from his waistband and fired one round striking the male. Reporter finchs family watching in horror. My granddaughter who witnessed the shooting and had to step over her dying uncles body. That cop murdered my son. Reporter Police Confirm finch was unarmed and was not the one who made that call. Last evenings officerinvolved shooting say tragic and senseless act. Reporter police in los angeles confirmed overnight theyve arrested a 25yearold man in connection with the s. W. A. T. ing call. Authorities tell abc news the onlining gaming dispute is part of their investigation but still tracking other leads. The officer who shot fired those shots was placed on administrative leave pending this investigation. Police say they know s. W. A. T. ing is a trend but in the case of a 911 call they always default to believing the caller. Horrifying story. Thank you. We move to politics and President Trump teeing off at one of his florida golf clubs and getting ready to ring in the new year at maralago. Back at the white house it appears it will ring in a staff reshuffling. David wright, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan and paula. The president is clearly enjoying the holiday break but also gearing up for the battles ahead in the new year, not only are there some big issues hes hoping to tackle but the midterm electionses in 2018 and he needs to be at the top of his political game. This weekend brought a rare glimpse of the president teeing off. Trump has made more than 60 visits to golf courses he owns since he took the oath of office but the white house usually refuses to say if he actually picks up his clubs. On friday, no such 17th hole and i think all of you were watching my shot, right . Did you see it . Reporter as his first year in office wines to a close trump is already gearing up for 2018 including a reshuffle of his Political Team at the west wing. We need a republican in the house. We need a republican in the senate. Reporter the white house is eager to avoid a midterm repeat of recent political debacles. In alabama the president s first candidate Luther Strange is our man. Reporter strange got defeated in the primaries by the more radical judge roy moore. Helped by trumps own former political mastermind steve bannon. Trump ended up jumping on the moore bandwagon even after several women accused him of inappropriate conduct, even Sexual Assault. Get out and vote for roy moore. Reporter moores ultimate defeat became a defeat for trump too. Some white house sources say the recent gop losses in alabama and in virginia underscore the fact there is a hole left by Steve Bannons departure. Bottom line, this is likely to be a reshuffle of folks that youve probably never heard of but were talking key behind the scenes players heres, josh limon level of white house levels if you remember the west wing but this is a white house thats seen plenty of upheaval. 16 resignations and 7 firings so far and more expected in the new year, dan and paula. More reshuffling to come. Aaron sorkin thanks you david, appreciate it. We want to move on and bring in matthew dowd. Matthew, good morning to you. Good morning, paula. So after the president s win on the tax bill hes expected to focus on infrastructure next which he says will fulfill another Campaign Promise rolling out a plan late next month saying this will be, quote, matt, the easiest of all. In reality what kind of obstacles could he face . Smart politically and for the countrys sake if he did that, 80 of the country wants something done on infrastructure. The problem he has is that hes entering the midterm zone of the elections as david talked about and its going to be very difficult to get democrats on board because they have no incentive, 80, 85 of their base wants them to fight donald trump on everything and republicans because they took a trillion dollars and increased the federal deficit to give tax cuts there is no money left over so it could be great politically, problems in both parties. Let me rank you about a tweet from the president within the past 4 hours. It reads in part the democrats have been told and fully understand that there can be no daca without the desperately needed wall at the southern border so how is this fight over the d. R. E. A. M. Ers, what daca refers to, how is this likely to go down when Congress Reconvenes and what does it mean for the young people whose loves are in limbo over all this . Im going to bring up an album, a floyd called the wall and two songs, one, is there anybody out there and the other is the thin ice and i think in both cases they describe what donald trump face, one, is there anybody out there hes going to be able to get on this, again, hes got problems with republicans on daca and problems with democrats willing to compromise in the midterm and so as the song says, hes going out on thin ice in this politically, i think its going to be how he describes what the wall is. If he describes the wall as a fence, hes probably much more likely to get it done. If he keeps pushing the wall as he wall he talked about on the campaign i think its very difficult for him to traverse that way. So a little homage to pink floyd. You sent everybody under the age of 30 to google. Matt, thank you very much. Thighing to give the millennials some credit. I think they know maybe a couple of them. My apologies to the millennials and my thanks to matthew dowd. A lot of other news and for that as we always ron claiborne. Good morning, everyone. We begin in los angeles where a female Police Officer was shot in whats being called an ambushstyle attack near the downtown area friday night. That officer hospitalized this morning with nonlifethreatening injuries. Police say they have one suspect in custody and a gun was found at the scene. Theyre searching for other possible suspects. Here in new york city new details about that deadly Apartment Fire in the bronx that killed 12 people including children. Thursday night officials now say that the fire which was started by a 3 1 2yearold boy playing with the burnsers on the stove spread so quickly because the boys mother left the apartment door open when she fled to safety. One rear ending the other injuring 16 passengers friday afternoon. None of those considered serious. The remaining passengers left the damaged trolleys in bitter cold to walk down the tracks to board buses. Mystery known for her mystery novels died at the age of 77. Her series began in 1982 with a is for alibi. She published y is for yesterday earlier this year. There will be no z. The nfl is implementing stricter concussion rules including adding a medical specialist to monitor replays after Houston Texans quarterback so tom savage was allowed back on the field even after showing signs of a concussion.

Later this morning after taking almost a year off to have her baby girl taking on french open champion os that she won the Australian Open before giving birth to her daughter last september.

She was working out but still pretty amazing. Shes been incredible for a long time and now shes just impressing us again. We move to the massive Mega Millions jackpot still up for grabs. No winner in last nights drawing so the 306 million jackpot will continue to grow. But you can till win the powerball. 384 million bucks up for grabs in tonights drawing. A whole lot of money were talking about and eva pilgrim has more. Reporter more than 700 million up for grabs. And you have two chances to get a piece of it. I would retire. Pay all my bills off and travel. Keep climbing. No one won last nights Mega Millions jackpot. The potential winnings now sitting at 343 million. And as the powerball fever grows ahead of tonights drawing, so does the total which right now is 384 million. People are lining up to get their shot at becoming an instant millionaire. After Winning Ticket for the largest lotto prize ever of 1. 6 billion was sold here at this chino hills 7eleven last year, many see it as lucky. Driving from near and far to purchase their ticket here. If you happen to be lucky enough to win either jackpot, signing the ticket isnt always the best first move. Whoever signs the back of the ticket is the individual that has to claim the ticket and the proceeds. So if aunt sally wins and she signs the back of the ticket, then aunt sallys will be public record. Yeah, we hear people say its better to take the lump sum. Not always. If youre the type of person who will be a spending machine, you want to take it over time. That will keep you from blowing it all and having nothing left in the end. I want to know who aunt sally is. The people do it and we see the stories of people doing it so you have to be honest with yourself about what you think you will do. I love this advice, good advice that nobody will end up using. Somebody will win. Spend responsibly. Can we find aunt sally. Probably in florida somewhere. Maybe shes out in central park which is where rob marciano is. Any sighting of aunt sally who might win the jackpot. I havent seen that although ive seen some pretty brave runners out here this morning. Theres nothing worse than cold in my opinion. If you cant have the snow to play in it, thats what a lot of folks here have felt. Theyre doing the time but havent committed any sort of crime. Radar, from one to two to three inches in spots. Kind of drying out. Philadelphia getting a good pulse and will wrap up. The heavy snow will be across the great lakes. Watch for slick spots this morning, especially northwest of the metro.

All week there have been events going on including a test run of the 3,000 pounds of confetti sprinkled over the massive crowd. I joined those who chose to say good riddance to the worst of 2017.

You still have to get it. I had it last year. Never had it before. Stomach glue, youll know when you have influenza. It knocked me on my back for a couple of weeks. Awful. Well start with an arrest in a cold case in houston thanks to a cigarette butt and some cuttingedge science. A murder suspect is now in custody after Police Tracked him down through a controversial technique and Marci Gonzalez joins us with more. Hi, marci. Reporter good morning. This case was wide open for more than a year until police in familial dna testing finally helped lead them to that suspect. Investigators say it was a brutal murder. 50yearold natalia shal found dead inside her baytown, texas, apartment on mother a day 2016 stabbed in the back 30 times. Investigators had evidence from that gruesome crime scene, a sketch of a possible suspect and dna. But for more than a year no arrest. But then that dna was tested for something called a familial match. Dna markers genetically similar to someone already in jail for another crime and investigators say there was a hit on an inmate convicted of Sexual Assault and that inpates brother would become the prime suspect in shals person. They identified a person of interest in the case as 29yearold Byron Collins of baytown. You are charged with a felony offense, capital murder. Reporter police discovered he lived in the same apartment complex as shal but that alone was not enough. Investigators in houston needed a stronger link. So they started surveillance on collins and say they saw him throw out a cigarette. Dna from that cigarette police say linked him directly to the crime scene. We get these cases, we dont stop. We work them until we cant work them anymore. Reporter familial dna is controversial and criticized by some as invasive. The fact that there is in technology doesnt mean that we should give up on our privacy. Reporter but the technique first used in europe back in 2003 has been pivotal in several highprofile cases in the u. S. Including the grim sleeper case in california. Familial dna helped arrest Lonnie Franklin sentenced in the death of women over two decades. Only a handful of states allow familial dna testing and while the method has proven success fulg in multiple cases Civil Liberties groups says it has also led to false dan and paula. Tricky issue. Marci, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Lets check the weather and weve allowed robert to come inside. Hats off. Hat head but did the best we can. Youre thawing. Id show you how old my hands are but i know how you feel. And germs. Lets look at ice across northern washington.

Southern rockies, southern sierra not as traveling tomorrow maybe some ice across the red river valley in through arkansas, showers there across the gulf coast and, yeah, still cold across the popped likely this morning, especially northwest of the metro.

Rebels want to do what they want in their own way in their own time so typically dont make new yearss resolutions because they dont want to bind themselves but sometimes they like the challenge. I wont drink any alcohol for 2018 and like saying, you think i cant do that, ill show you. And finally upholers. Outer and inner expectations and im an upholder this.
