learning more about the men and women, as well as the notorious gang believed to be holding them hostage. the 16 americans and a canadian are all part of an ohio-based christian aid organization on a trip to visit an orphanage. among those taken, five are children.t on of the region in the wake of the country's recent unrest following the assassination of haiti's president. the nation is also still struggling after the massive earthquake in august that killed thousands. here's phil lipof. >> reporter: tonight, haitian authorities telling abc news that 17 missionaries were kidnapped overnight by a gang in haiti. the haitian government saying they suspect the 400 mawozo gang is responsible. ohio-based christian aid ministries confirming that among the missionaries were 16 americans and 1 canadian. five of them children. all on their way back from a visit to an orphanage. the state department saying it's aware of the kidnapping reports and that the welfare and safety of u.s. citizens abroad is one of the highest priorities of the department of state. >> the first few hours are very critical in any hostage taking. >> reporter: former fbi agent and crisis management expert richard frankel was involved in negotiating the release of a u.s. missionary from haiti in 2005. >> haitian gangs have been kidnapping since the early 2000s, if not before that. their intent is to make money. they are doing these kidnappings for ransom, for money, no politics are involved. it's not terrorism. their goal is to make as much money as they can from the hostage taking. >> reporter: haiti has faced a number of crises in recent months. the president there assassinated in july. in august, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake killed more than 2,200 people and destroyed more than 50,000 homes, all contributing to a rise in gang violence now plaguing the country. by some estimates, gangs now control roughly half of the capital city of port-au-prince. >> phil joins us from outside the haitian consulate. it feels like there's a correlation between more gangs in haiti and the surge in kidnappings. >> reporter: yes, a haitian human rights organization tells us there's been a sharp increase in kidnappings this year. more than 600 so far, 117 last month alone. and a haitian presidential source tells us there's been no demands made by the suspected gang. but tonight the whereabouts of the 17 kidnapped remain unknown. >> phil, thank you. and now to the pandemic. just today, dr. fauci saying those who got the one-shot j&j vaccine should feel good about the fda panel's recommendation on boosters. according to the panel, everyone 18 and older who got the j&j vaccine should get another shot at least two months after the single dose. but there's increasing pushback on mandates. chicago police unions and the city are at odds over the requirement for police officers to report their vaccination status. here's janai norman. >> reporter: tonight, dr. anthony fauci hoping to ease concerns about the johnson & johnson vaccine after an fda panel recommended a booster for the single shot. >> i think that they should feel good about it, because what the advisers to the fda felt is that given the data that they saw, very likely this should have been a two-dose vaccine to begin with. >> reporter: but johnson & johnson telling abc news there was value in having a single-dose vaccine that could be easily distributed. >> in a pandemic situation, the best thing you can do is get out there and vaccinate as much of the population as quickly as possible with one shot. >> reporter: unlike pfizer and moderna boosters, limited to older adults or those at high risk, the fda panel voting in favor of the the j&j booster for anyone 18 and older, at least two months after getting the single shot vaccine. as boosters roll out across the country, tonight vaccine mandates facing fierce pushback. a statewide school walkout now just hours away in california, as parents plan protests against vaccine requirements for staff and students. and mandates leading to clashes between cities and their police unns.police union estimated last week that half of its officers were still unvaccinated. the city now fighting it out in court, as all city workers, including officers, are required to report their vaccination status or face disciplinary action. >> this should've been a very simple issue for us. get vaccinated, let us know, so that we can move forward. but instead, it's become a battle of wits. >> reporter: the stakes high for all americans, from law enforcement to health care workers. like mechelle webb, who's been treating covid patients, but was hesitant about getting the shot herself. she decided to get the vaccine after attending educational sessions. >> without that education, i think i would have been really questioning myself. did i make the right choice? >> reporter: those mandate showdowns erupting as the cdc released data from august showing the unvaccinated had an 11-fold higher risk of dying from covid during this surge of the delta variant than those who got the shot. >> the unvaccinated, 11 times more likely to die. janai joins us tonight. the cdc and fda will weigh in on those boosters this week, and then all eyes will turn to the fda panel reviewing pfizer's vaccine for kids 5 to 11. what is the white house saying to do right now? >> reporter: they're telling states to preorder doses for 5 to 11-year-olds in hopes of a seamless rollout that could start in about 2 1/2 weeks. the fda already reviewing pfizer's vaccine for kids. the cdc will meet the first week of november. linsey? >> janai, thank you. earlier today, former president bill clinton walked out of a california hospital six days after

common in older men. the symptoms include flank pain, nausea, vomiting, high fever, and an elevated white blood cell count. >> as we get older, men can be susceptible to severe urinary tract infections. the key elements to managing a severe urinary tract infection are early recognition, aggressive intravenous antibiotics, and fluids. all of this appears to have been done in this case. >> reporter: clinton has had a history of health scares in his post-presidency life, including quadruple bypass surgery in 2004, and a 2010 procedure to implant a pair of stents in a coronary artery. the former president's medical team here says he will continue that course of antibiotics as he recovers in new york, and they will continue to monitor his progress. >> marcus, thank you. we turn to the

down. >> reporter: tonight, the manhunt growing for the gunman who ambushed three deputies at a nightclub in houston, killing one of them. >> what happened tonight was evil. >> reporter: authorities are looking for a man in his 20s, heavy set with a beard, who at the time of the shooting was wearing a white t-shirt with blue jeans. authorities say two of the deputies were trying to make an arrest early saturday morning, when the gunman opened fire with an ar-15 style assault rifle. 30-year-old deputy kareem atkins was killed. he'd just returned from paternity leave, leaving behind a wife and two children, including a 2-month-old. 28-year-old deputy darryl garrett was shot in the back. he is in the icu after emergency surgery. his fiancee, unable to tell him his fellow deputy didn't make it. >> when the nurse spoke with him, he asked if he could understand. he asked them to squeeze my hand if you can understand me and darryl squeezed his hand a little bit. >> reporter: a third deputy, 26-year-old juqaim barthen, ran to assist. he was shot in the foot. tonight, we're learning all three men were close friends. >> i was in a room with one of them, and he didn't know that the one deputy had passed. he found out laying, bleeding out on a gurney that his buddy he had just been with was deceased. >> reporter: officers standing at attention while deputy atkins' body was taken from the hospital to the medical examiner's office. police say one person is in custody. but they don't believe that to be the shooter. the shooting happening nearly a month after a houston police officer

the supply chain problems created by the pandemic will have far-reaching effects. not just this holiday season but maybe next year's, too. >> the best estimates that i've heard, this could be something that will be well into next christmas, to be honest with you. >> reporter: the port of los angeles seeing a 17% increase in traffic since 2020, and it's taking three times longer to clear the ports. one reason, a lack of truck drivers. >> so even when stuff gets to port, even once it is lucky enough to get off the ship, then sometimes there is difficulties getting it to the next location. >> reporter: secretary of transportation pete buttigieg saying today his department is working with state dmvs to speed up issuing commercial drivers' licenses to get more truckers on the road. but acknowledging a big problem may not have a quick fix. >> we need to deal with the long-term issues that have made us vulnerable to these kinds of bottlenecks when there are demand fluctuations, shocks, and disruptions like the ones that have been caused by the pandemic. >> reporter: as many economists note, it is much easier to shut down a global economy than it is to ramp one back up. and also agree that the price of most products on shelves will increase, so it's best to plan ahead. linsey? >> deirdre, thank you. there are new concerns tonight about china's nuclear

run in and out of people's homes will need to be replaced. sounds to me like the trust has been -- >> it's been broken. >> reporter: according to the abc equity report released last month, benton harbor is not unlike other poorer, majority non-white cities when it comes to disparities in clean water access. emma kinnard has been hammering mayor muhammad for answers about the amber colored water at her house since 2018. >> it was sizzling, sort of like alka-seltzer. >> reporter: at night, she says her skin itches so bad she needs benadryl to sleep. >> just say the water is unsafe to drink, brush your teeth, cook with, bathe in, to make baby formula. that's what you need to say. and if you say that, it will send a message to the people that we have a problem. >> reporter: organizers say pallets of water have been stolen last night. a real example of the dire need out here. in addition to water, they're also handing out pre-mixed baby formula. a real example of trying
