eight people have died after a nursing home lost its air-conditioning and a criminal investigation is under way and tom llamas on the scene in hollywood. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. when fire rescue teams started responding to calls at this nursing home, they realized these weren't isolated incidents. this was a full-blown crisis, and what may be most troubling at all is where this happened. this is the nursing home right here where people were dying and it's literally across the street from a hospital with a fully functioning e.r. this morning, investigators are trying to figure out how eight residents from this nursing home ended up dying, following a power problem three days after hurricane irma hit florida. police and fire rescue evacuating 170 people, several suffering from dehydration and heat exhaustion. >> the facility called and said that incidents were occurring. something's going on in the center unknown how many patients or their injuries. >> reporter: seniors taken out on their beds, in wheelchairs during the max exodus. one of those victims, carolyn eatherly, 78 years old. >> she was fun. she had a very good sense of humor. i feel like she could have lived on. this extreme condition caused this. >> reporter: families of residents desperate for any information. amber nichols came looking for her 94-year-old great grandmother. >> right now, we don't know where she is. >> did they tell you they had power issues? did you ever get notified? >> no. >> reporter: the deaths now under criminal investigation. the nursing home right across the street from memorial regional hospital. a major health care facility. the hospital is across the street. why weren't they taken there? >> that is part of our investigation and who knew what and when. >> reporter: overnight, the nursing home administrator releasing a statement saying they diligently prepared for the impact of hurricane irma and that they didn't lose power, but a transformer powering the ac went down. so staff set up mobile cooling units and fans to cool the facility. you were inside. how hot did it feel inside? >> it felt like 110, 115 degrees in there. >> could you see the suffering? >> yes, i did. yes, i did. >> reporter: you heard it right there. felt like 110, 115 degrees. the state has now shut down this nursing home on orders from the governor who said what happened here is unfathomable. the nursing home has a checkered past with multiple violations for health issues. robin? >> so tragic, tom. thank you. now to the hard-hit florida keys where officials say all the bridges on the only road into the keys have been inspected and are cleared. residents are slowly beginning to return, but this morning they're struggling to find food, drinking water and other necessities. abc's eva pilgrim is in marathon, florida, with more. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, robin. these hurricane winds were so powerful they literally pulled this gas pump out of the ground tossing it to the side. the canopy at this gas station completely knocked over onto its side. you take a look. we have a drone up this morning. you can see the homes in this area just littered with debris in their yard. the homes that weren't destroyed, they still had flooding. you mentioned the bridges were cleared opening up the road to get some much needed help. to those in need. this morning, rescue teams going door to door looking for survivors here in the florida keys. >> we should have evacuated but we thought we would be okay. but it's just -- i -- i'm sorry. >> reporter: more than 20,000 troops now on the ground. the navy, marines and air force all working together. >> thousands of civilians that are here in the lower keys and they need food and water. >> reporter: our crew following along on the joint operation, you can see homes torn apart. but right next door, others still standing. you can see there is a lot of debris, but the structures, the buildings themselves seem to be intact. residents finding themselves surrounded by water but not the kind they can drink. running water only turned on for two hours at a time twice a day. a boil water advisory in effect. but for many, no way to boil it. the power still out. people spotting this helicopter landing rushing to this parking lot. >> two lines. split the lines. >> reporter: lining

because -- >> it's -- it's key west. >> it's a special place. >> special place. >> reporter: and we're hearing it could take two to four weeks for the power to be turned back on. especially in the key west area. we're hearing the water, they have no timeline on when that could be fully restored. we are seeing though some things going back to normal. while we were in key west yesterday, we saw a bar opened serving beer. george. >> first things first. okay, eva. thanks very much. latest from the white house after that late night meeting with top democrats who say the president agreed on pushing legislation to protect the d.r.e.a.m.ers, but did not demand his border wall in return. that sparked an explosive response from conservatives. now the president tweeting there is no deal. tax reform also the top of the president's agenda and after meeting with both republicans and democrats, trump says the wealthy will not get a tax cut und under his plan. they may even pay more he says, and we'll head to florida with the first lady to meet with victims of hurricane irma. of hurricane irma. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega already on the ground in florida but the big news, that meeting with democrats over chinese food last night. >> reporter: yeah, george. so much for this new-found friendship between the president and democrats, this morning it is back to politics as usual. he said, they said, was there a deal, was there not a deal? the president is up and tweeting this morning. take a look. he says, no deal was made last night on daca. massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. would be subject to the vote but what he is not saying, george, is that this border wall that he wants so much will be tied to funding to save the d.r.e.a.m.ers. as the president boarded marine one this morning, this vision about his long-wanted border wall. >> it will be funded a little bit letter. >> reporter: as for his deal with the democrats -- >> we're working on a plan subject to getting massive border control. we're working on a plan for daca. people want to see that happen. >> reporter: after that dinner over chinese food and chocolate pie, chuck schumer and nancy pelosi said they both agree they wanted to protect d.r.e.a.m.ers and secure border security. that does not include the border wall. when it was over, the two democrats in the room released a statement calling it a productive meeting saying both sides reached an agreement to protect the d.r.e.a.m.ers in exchange for beefing up border security but that did not include money for the president's border wall. no less than 30 minutes later, press secretary sarah sanders took to twitter saying, while daca and border security were both discussed, excluding the wall was certainly not agreed to. that bipartisan dinner turning into dinner theater. senate minority leader chuck schumer's spokesman tweeted right back saying the president made clear he would continue pushing the wall, just not as part of this agreement. bipartisan had been the buzzword of the day. before that bipartisan dinner, the president presided over a bipartisan meeting. >> if you look at some of the greatest legislation ever passed, it was done on a bipartisan manner. >> reporter: where the democrat turned republican president sounded a lot more like a democrat, saying the wealthy may have to pay higher taxes. >> if they have to go higher they'll go higher, frankly. >> reporter: it all left the white house facing questions about the president's allegiances. >> the president is the leader of the republican party. and was elected by republicans, >> reporter: and the president, the vice president, the first lady all land here in florida in just a few hours. they will head to one of the harder hit areas, naples, florida, but as for that fight over dinner last night, i have talked to both sides, both sides say the other side is not telling the truth on this one and, george, this morning, the #trumpcaved is trending on twitter. >> it sure is. okay,sy cecilia. thanks very much. >> let's sort through it with john avlon of "the daily beast." i read all the tweets and seen the statements from the democrats and sort through it all it appears there was a meeting of the mind and agreed to protect the d.r.e.a.m.ers and all agree on border security, but that deal is not necessarily going to include a new wall. >> that's what appears to be the case. you know, you have conflicting accounts of dinner with chuck and nancy, but trump definitely enjoying getting his bipartisan on. the deal -- the word, deal, is part of the question. he is saying, look, until it gets the votes we have no deal. the democrats are saying, we're going -- he agreed to sideline the wall and instead do massive border enhancement but it depends what your definition of the wall is. >> forgotten in all this is of course, the president's main promise that mexico was going to pay for the wall. >> that appears to be no longer operative. that statement is no longer operative. you know, there are a lot of ornate hopes you could do some kind of debt deal but the bottom line is congress is going to have to do the funding and democrats seem to have agreed to an increase in border security in exchanges for the d.r.e.a.m.ers. >> this enraged conservatives. a couple tweets, steve king from iowa trump base is blown up, destroyed, irreparable, disillusioned beyond repair. no promises credible. breitbart's home page, steve bannon heads that. amnesty don, dems declare victory after trump caves on daca. >> amnesty don. getting a taste of medicine from his own base. make no mistake, for them it is a major betrayal. he was a hard-liner on immigration but seems to be returning to his roots on this issues. he seems conflicted about daca and compassion for individuals is why he tweeted out why would we deport people who are here through no fault of their own. they are serving their country in the military in some cases. those are more democratic talking points than conservative. >> he also sounds like a democrat saying the wealthier will have to pay for under his tax plan. but what we know -- under what we know about his tax plan, the wealthy would pay a lot less. >> that is what we've seen to date. now, again, you know, he seems to be really enjoying trying to scramble the coalition. republican leadership was not at that chinese dinner in the blue room last night but the president saying he'll focus on middle class tax cuts and the wealthy might get a cut. that sounds like a democrat. >> john, thanks very much. all right, gentlemen. now to new details about that school shooting in washington state. a student killing one, wounding three others before a custodian was able to stop him. authorities say the suspect is now in custody. abc's clayton sandell is in rockford, washington, with the latest. good morning, clayton. >> reporter: and good morning, robin. you can see a small memorial started outside the school here this morning. police and paramedics got here almost immediately after the shooting started and remarkably they practiced for this exact type of incident just the day before. just as classes were starting gunfire at this high school near spokane. multiple students shot. >> we have one more victim in a classroom upstairs. >> fourth victim in an upstairs classroom. >> reporter: authorities say a male student showed up armed with multiple guns. >> he was carrying a duffel bag and he set it down, pulled it out and started shooting. >> reporter: one student confronting the shooter. >> he went to his next weapon and a student walked up to him, engaged him and that student was shot. that student did not survive. >> reporter: the gunman then shot three more students before a custodian stopped him. he was taken into custody but is not being identified because he is a juvenile. classmates say there were signs the shooter was troubled. >> they were threatening things he said to me that i would rather not share since authorities and stuff. >> reporter: he recently warned friends that something bad was coming. >> he was handing out notes to his friends. and it said that he was going to do something stupid to where it might either get him killed or in jail. >> reporter: students say they told school counselors but this morning it's not clear what they've done. >> we have to find out what's wrong with our society that our children decide they need to take weapons to deal with the issues they're facing. >> reporter: parents in this tight-knit community are waking up to a horrifying and far too common tragedy. >> i always thought this is such a great school and you never would think anything like this would ever happen here but it definitely can happen anywhere. >> reporter: now those three students that were shot and wounded are in the hospital. they are expected to recover today. today classes here are canceled. there will be counselors here to help anyone who needs it. >> i'm sure they do need that help. thank you, clayton. >> every time you hear a story like that it boggles your mind. >> it does. we'll move on now to that abc news exclusive. a new controversy for treasury secretary steven mnuchin. questions about unusual requests to use a military jet for his european honeymoon. abc's chief investigative correspondent brian ross broke the story and joins us from washington. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, george. the inspector general for the treasury department tells us the office is looking at a second instance involving transportation secretary steven mnuchin's proposed use of government aircraft. this one involving his recent honeymoon. newly married this past summer, multimillionaire treasury secretary, steven mnuchin, formerly requested that he and his new wife louise regularly seen in designer clothes with purses at $10,000 plus be allowed to travel in style in a government jet on their honeymoon to europe at an estimated cost of $25,000 an hour, the price for taxpayers would have been several hundred thousand dollars. >> they can't be expecting taxpayers to foot the bill for a hollywood lifestyle. >> reporter: but mnuchin's honeymoon request was withdrawn after officials reportedly raised the issue of how it would look for a man worth more than $300 million to take a personal trip at taxpayer expense. in a statement to abc news, a treasury spokesperson said it was all about the need for secure communications and that alternatives were made available. so the happy couple had to travel at their own expense. >> that is just slap your forehead stuff. you don't have to look at some kind of government ethics report to know that it is just flagrantly wrong. >> reporter: but just a few weeks later, mnuchin and his wife louise did get a government jet to go to kentucky for an official trip where among other things they viewed the solar eclipse. she posted this photo adding hashtags for items in her expensive designer outfit and this response to critics had its own backlash. do you think the u.s. government paid for our honeymoon or personal travel? lol. have you given more to the economy than me and my husband? she later apologized for her comments. mnuchin's wife is an actress. >> i don't feel well. >> reporter: appearing in this episode of the cbs program "csi" dressed as marie antoinette, the french royal who famously said of the starving peasants, let them eat cake. the inspector general takes a look at the circumstances now surrounding all of the secretary's travel by government aircraft, george. >> i'll bet they are, brian, thanks very much. michael. let's go over to ginger with the latest on jose. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. and jose has a lot of hurdles to get through. wind shear, dry air, but trying its best to stay alive east of the bahamas as rain and clouds move through the northeast from what's left of irma but jose itself will make a path, kind of made its turn already and eventually turn back toward the u.s. i think the biggest impact is really going to be waves, up to 7 feet. so that's large waves. and especially as you go closer to new england it looks like we could see beach erosion with some of

>> so lupus is an autoimmune disease where literally your body's own organs or joints or skin because that's an organ, are attacked because the body senses it as kind of a foreign -- we don't understand why but lupus nephritis is when it attacks the body attacks the kidneys -- is a serious and potentially life-th. when someone's kidneys start to fail they are left with two options, hemodialysis, a filtration of the blood that can literally keep them alive or organ transplantation. now it's unusual to see someone this young get to the stage of kidney failure where an organ transplantation is even an option. but it's a great opportunity to talk about, you know, with kidney transplantation because we have two. you can do a living directed donation. >> is it a cure? >> it can -- it's not a cure for the lupus, george. that's really important, but it's a cure for the kidney failure. interestingly with kidney transplantation in most cases the diseased or dead kidney is not removed so you leave the two kidneys in there and the transplanted kidney is actually put deep in the pelvis, just some numbers that are important for people to know. there are 15,000 kidney transplants done in this country every year. 3,000 people are added to the kidney transplant list every month. 13 patients die daily waiting for a kidney transplant, and every 14 minutes someone is added to the kidney transplant waiting list. >> what is the recovery for selena? what's the recovery for her donor and how do they have to adjust their life for the future? >> so great and i'm glad you talked about the donor because that's really important. even though it's a straightforward surgery it's a major surgery. so they both have to recover. usually three to seven days in the hospital. the donor can go home probably a little bit sooner. the recipient in this case selena gomez has to be monitored very closely for rejection. the chances of rejection are less when you get a kidney from a living donor, but it's still a possibility. and the survival rates are excellent. they're not perfect, but they're excellent and then, you know, again, the condition of the patient is the most important thing. you have a young, healthy patient generally they're going to do better. >> that's part of the reason why they probably waited because it happened over the summer. it didn't just happen overnight. it's great. just to have this conversation on both sides. >> organ donation, go to donate life on the web and you can read about how you can sign up to be an organ donor. >> thank you, jen. >> you bet. coming up, new details about the case captivating the country for 15 years. laci peterson killed by her husband, scott. what they found in his car. what they found in his car. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ this this this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can take on psoriatic arthritis with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further joint damage, and clear skin in many adults. humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for psoriatic arthritis. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. want more proof?

>> you know, i think people look at him and they look at her and they think about what friends and family knew at the time which is they seemed like the perfect couple. she's pregnant. look how great she looks. he seems happy and they say to themselves, could this guy have really done that? and i think that that is why the fascination continues and tonight as "20/20" digs deep on that. >> he's never getting out, right? >> no, he's continuing to appeal but he's sitting on death row and i don't expect that he's going to win his appeal. >> we'll learn much more because a new documentary "truth and lies: murder of laci peterson" airs tonight on abc. that's at 9:00 p.m. eastern. thanks a lot. >> thank you, dan. come up on our big board. how a mom held out and scores thousands of dollars from an airline. great story. so for once i've got plenty of time. what's going on?

well, maybe not. let's say my child another, should i be concerned? >> it should raise a flag and you should think about watching some other signs and symptoms that sound the alarm. >> we just wanted to talk about how you're doing. >> reporter: this doctor sees a lot of young snorers and say s all that cute snoring could be a sign of something serious. >> children can have sleep apnea? >> definitely. it's not a problem restricted to adults and it's actually one of the most common reasons why children need either their tonsils or adenoids removed. >> reporter: but it's not always that easy. when amanda and kevin brought their newborn home he seemed to be a healthy infant but three months in, baby caden began to have episodes during which he'd stop breathing. >> just completely limp, nonresponsive. i would hold him and say, caden, caden and he'd finally start breathing. it just got worse and worse. >> reporter: at 6 months a sleep study showed little caden had not one but two breathing disorder. they found obama strulk tv sleep apnea which occurs when something is blocking the airway and central sleep apnea which occurs when the brain does not give the body a signal to breathe. it isn't uncommon in newborns but caden was past that stage and not getting better. his tonsils were not enlarged so even surgery wasn't the answer. aside from snoring other symptoms of sleep apnea in children include hyperactivity, trouble focusing in school, depression or anger and even bedwetting. symptoms that can sometimes be confused with adhd, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and can cause kids to be misdiagnosed. >> many kids may get labeled as being hyperactive and i think it's important to look at a variety of different causes that could be contributing to that. it may not be that sleep is the only cause. if there's a worry about the child's sleep it should definitely be investigated. >> and that's where that misdiagnosis can come into play. again, those symptoms can mirror adhd such as hyperactivity but we don't want to be alarmist. if they have sleep apnea that doesn't necessarily mean they'll another but if you suspect your child does have sleep apnea, you want to speak to your pediatrician. they'll facilitate a sleep study. i know you'll speak with dr. ashton about it but typically the way you treat them with it, removal of tonsils or adenoids, much different than how you treat adults. >> that's right. thank you much. and i love how you're becoming our snoring expert. >> how did that happen? >> i don't know the connection there. >> talk about what we're seeing. a child's cpap machine. >> continuous positive airway pressure and you wear it on your face. the kids' versions have some nice cartoons and colorful colors. they're kid friendly. and it blows a low degree of continuous airway to the upper airways so that those structures can't flop down and cut off the breathing. >> do you have any suggestions for parents who have to put this on their child? >> i empathize and sympathize, it's hard to get kids to brush their teeth. this could be even harder. the first tip is to familiarize yourself with the cpap. get them comfortable with it. have them try it on when they're awake and then have them ease into sleeping with it. and then stick with it. if they rip it off or knock it off during the night, put it back on and it's very, very important. you need to explain to them once they're at the age of reason they do need to keep the mask on and it will make them feel better during the day so older children will gradually learn to understand. >> what kind of conditions can cause this type of snoring? >> it's interesting. we heard about it being misdiagnosed as adhd or add but seasonal allergy, hay fever, any upper airway infection can cause similar symptoms, the key is that it's acute. it's short term and it will resolve with treatment. so ideally you start with your pediatrician, they will then triage, does this child need asleep study or a visit with a specialist like an ear, nose and throat doctor if possible. >> talk more about the misdiagnosis and why that is. >> it's easy when you can connect the dots between a symptom or sign and an end point or a manifesttation. not so easy when they're removed so have to remember to think holistically. just because something is going on during the day doesn't mean it doesn't have its origin at night so think of the whole person. >> i love how people are just bouncing -- nodding along and agreeing. >> everyone is tired. >> a lot of what you're saying they're agreeing with you. thank you. are agreeing with you. thank you. ginger, outside. >> yes, and it's time for your "gma" moment. a live one today because i'm right here. behind the 70. coletta, you're from?

>> eileen carrey is a successful ceo in silicon valley known for co-founding glassbreakers, a diversity and inclusion opportunity software company. this morning it's not her top tech that has everyone talking. it's her hair. >> made the decision based on research to change my perception in a way so that it improved the likelihood of, you know, being taken more seriously as a leader, as opposed to maybe a sexual object. >> reporter: one of her secrets to getting ahead, proactively fighting the blond stereotype. going from this to this. >> when i first started the company, i was given advice from a friend of mine who just broke down in plain and simple terms about perception and how i would be perceived. >> reporter: while running her company as a blond in a male dominated workforce she feared her hair color made it less likely she would be taken seriously by potential investors. >> i kept getting comments about it's so impressive that you're so young and you started this company. like i was 23, but i'm 31. so i dyed my hair. i wanted to appear a little less sexy. >> reporter: karen shackleford says this feeling is common in the workplace. >> there are research study has show women who dress more femininely, wear more jewelry, look more attractive are less likely to be hired for managerial positions. >> she said she heard plenty of stories like her own and not just in silicon valley. >> that's something that happens all over america in our schools, in our offices, in our government. so this is a phenomenon that does not affect me but all of us. >> indeed. so great to have rebecca and editor in chief of "marie claire" anne fullenwide with us. rebecca i know you have a podcast called no limits. how does this story compare to all you've seen in the tech world? >> a podcast ann has been on and we want you on soon, lara. >> you got it. >> we are hearing this everywhere. fundamentally an issue with women trying to be heard, that desire to be seen as something more than a sex object and to be taken seriously and that's really what's happening here. it takes different forms, but women all over the workforce are trying to be heard and taken seriously. >> and, anne, this really is about more than hair, isn't it? this is a larger conversation. >> well, yeah, i think there are two things at play. one silicon valley definitely has a sexism problem and that has got to change. but secondly women no matter where we work are going to be judged on our appearance more harshly than men and you have to play that game. do i think you need to change the color of your hair? absolutely not. if that gives you confidence to walk in a room and own it then i say go for it. >> i'll ask you, rebecca. you talked to so many powerful women. what advice do you have to women who want to get ahead, specifically in the tech world? >> i think one really simple and straightforward piece of advice that i heard from a top female ceo in silicon valley is to speak up once a day in a meeting. and that's something that you can make a commitment to yourself and do. just say, every day once a day i am going to speak up in a meeting. i'm going to make it comfortable for myself, because it does get more comfortable the more that you do it and the more you talk, the more you're heard. >> you think you'll be heard loud and clear, blond or brunette? >> absolutely. just carry yourself with confidence. >> i love that, i mean at the end of the day that is ultimately what it's all about, we hope. really great conversation you guys. thank you so much. coming up, everybody, the very special birthday edition of "deals & steals." tory johnson bringing the bargains, she's giving us presents on her big day. good morning. it's 8:27. i'm reggie aqui from "abc7 mornings." alexis has been following this terrible crash on 580 in castro valle valley. how does it look?
