From beyonce. What she did next that drove Holiday Shoppers wild. Good morning, everybody. Im trying to put myself in the shoes of those walmart shoppers in boston. Youre loading detergent in your cart. And here comes beyonce walking down the aisle. Coming up, the gift she gave hundreds of people in that store. And the shopping she did for herself. All im saying is thank goodness there was a camera there. I dont think anybody would have believed somebody calling them and saying, guess who i just saw here. There are cell phone cameras everywhere now. We caught it from multiple angles. She never ceases to surprise us. Four people were arrested in a deadly carjacking at a mall in new jersey last week. A man was shot right in the head right in front of his wife as they were getting their Christmas Gifts into their car. A devastating story. We have breaking news on that, as well. Update on that coming up. Also coming up, new developments in the uproar over the controversial comments from the poultry patriarch on duck dynasty. Why a e is now getting Death Threats. Were going to start with the latest on this dangerous storm on the First Official day of winter. 24 states in the crosshairs right now. Were talking snow, wind, ice, flooding and tornadoes. And the timing could not be trickier. 95 million americans are expected to be driving or flying somewhere for christmas. We want to welcome damon lane, the chief meteorologist at our abc Oklahoma City affiliate, koco. Damon is tracking it all. Good to have you here. Great to be here. Its a mess as we look into the Oklahoma City metro. Freezing rain falling overnight. And as we look at this picture from norman, oklahoma, shows that ice accumulating on the tree limbs there. And this is all part of an even bigger winter storm thats crippling much of the nation. For many americans, Christmas Travel is looking to be messy and cold. We expect it to get a lot worse. With the snow coming tomorrow. Reporter the storm is threatening to wreak havoc for the nearly 95 Million People taking to the streets and skies. With ice and snow already delaying 9,100 flights and littering highways with wrecked cars. If youre traveling, youre going to want to go early. For some people who cant make that decision, its going to be a gamble. Reporter in the northwest, snow and slick roads led to this tenvehicle pileup in washington. Icy conditions in kansas caused multiple cars to lose control and flip. And its only expected to get worse. Overnight, ice in oklahoma was the cause of a deadly pileup. It knocked out power to nearly 3,000 homes and left everything from cars to Christmas Decorations encased in ice. In maine, residents are rushing to clear their roofs to prevent them from collapsing. If its going to be one or the other, id rather have the snow. The ice, its a lot harder to deal with. Reporter workers in iowa, wisconsin and michigan prep roadways for drivers braving the blinding snow. While echoing the same message, be safe. Its extremely important to drive carefully, drive slow, drive defensively. You would rather have snow than ice. Were going to see this ice stretching from Oklahoma City to tulsa, all the way around columbia. And later this evening, headed towards new england. Hazardous roads, Power Outages can be expected. The snow side to the storm will stretch from wichita, des moines, milwaukee. Were talking about six to ten inches of snow. And then, theres a severe side to this storm system, as well. A moderate risk for severe weather. Were talking about the threat for tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds from jackson, mississippi, as you go up towards memphis, as well. It looks like could be a busy day for the first day of winter. Bianna . Welcome to winter, indeed. Damon, welcome to you. Great to have you here with us. Thanks. Were going to turn to the high drama happening right now at the International Space station. A dangerous spacewalk this morning to fix the crucial cooling system. And abcs Mike Boettcher has the latest on how the risky repair is going from inside the Johnson Space center in houston. Good morning to you, mike. Reporter good morning, bianna. Im inside the mockup of the International Space station at the Johnson Space center in houston. And this is the airlock module, that astronauts use to train for spacewalks. This is the compartment they will enter the vacuum of space to fix their alien spacecraft. The mission is critical. Fix a failed cooling system that keeps the space station functioning. A repair that nasa says cannot wait, despite concerns about another possible problem. A spacesuit failure. It sounds to me like its like doing a ballet with a washing machine. Its true. Were here it has to be really, really graceful. Reporter veteran american spacewalker, Rick Mastracchio will be teamed with rookie Michael Hopkins during the delicate operation. Tracy caldwelldyson replaced the same pump during spacewalks three years ago. You have this really important task. And when you realize that its just the two of you, out in the vacuum of space, your own breath becomes something very loud inside your helmet. Reporter complicating matters is the potential of water collecting in their space helmets. A problem that came close to drowning an italian astronaut during a spacewalk last july. My head is really wet. Reporter nasa is not sure what is causing the problem. But in typical nasa fashion, engineers came up with two ingenious fixes. An absorbant pad placed inside the helmet. And a 20inch plastic tube that would allow spacewalkers to breathe air from the bottom of their suits. Spacewalks only look easy. The anticipation of knowing what it feels like to actually be outside in the vacuum of space, to have something between you and the earth, but your visor. Reporter at this moment, the astronauts are still in this space lock. When they do walk, it could last up to seven hours. And is the first of possibly three walks to repair their station. Dan . Mike boettcher inside the mockup of the International Space station. Mike, thank you. Were learning more about how thieves are using all that credit card information stolen from target. It turns out, a large number of the 40 million cards are now being sold on the black market. This, as investigators step up their efforts. And target launches a big p. R. Blitz aimed at, understandably, angry customers. Reena ninan is all over the story this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning. I havent even started my Christmas Shopping yet. Really . Reporter no. This is one of the worst weekends to kind of hear about this. If you think there arent any fraud charges on my card, i must be in the clear, Authorities Say the stolen target cards may be among the millions being swiped in the final Christmas Shopping crush. Four days before christmas, credit card theft alert. Abc news has learned fake cards with credit card numbers stolen from targets recent data breach are now flooding the black market. The credit cards, once theyre harvested are dispersed worldwide and are distributed through online organized crime. Reporter new york Police Forces telling abc news, the stolen card information is selling in batches of 1 million cards at a time. Once the information is stolen, they work globally with other cyber thieves who distribute the cards who turn data into money. Reporter missy says a charge at walgreens tipped her off to fraud on her card. I didnt go to walgreens. I would never spend 250 in walgreens. That got my attention. Reporter how does the stolen data get into the black market . Its surprisingly similar to Melissa Mccarthys card duplicating setup, in identity thieves. Its like getting a new room key at a hotel front desk, they swipe it on a blank card. Your credit card, now, can be used anywhere. Its devastating. Its scary knowing, well, if they have my information, who else got it . Reporter the new York Police Department retrieved 39 gift card bonus card numbers in an arrest on thursday. Those account numbers right now being run through the secret Service Database to see if they match the stolen target cards. The new York Attorney generals offering free credit checks for new york residents. And target knows this is a p. R. Disaster. Theyre giving 10 to everyone this saturday and sunday. But someones going to have to eat this. The fraud charges. And one thing Credit Card Companies do is jack up the interest rates. Ultimately, it comes back to the consumers. Im sorry. Your Christmas Gift will be late this year from me. You better get shopping, right now. Im going, after the show. This couldnt have happened at a worse time of the year for target. Were going to turn to breaking news involving a deadly carjacking less than a week ago. A 40,000 reward was offered for the killers who shot a man out shopping with his wife at a mall in new jersey. Wabc tvs matt kozar has the latest. Reporter this morning, prosecutors briefing the media on the four suspects that were taken into custody. We extend our condolences, all of us do, to the friedman family. And we hope that todays step is in the process beginning to heal. Reporter 30yearold Dustin Friedland was shot and killed at the short hill mall parking garage in new jersey. He was with his wife. They had just finished holiday shopping. They had returned to their range rover when the car was carjacked. The two carjackers fled in the suv. The range rover was found behind an abandoned house in newark the next day. Friedlands family has been demanding justice. His uncle told abc news, quote, i dont want to hear how we need to show them compassion. That dilutes the fact that they committed murder. Dan . Bianna . Thank you. And now, to washington. President obama off on his christmas vacation with his family now in hawaii, after holding a news conference, wrapping up, what even he admits has been a very tough year. The low light of which was the disastrous rollout of healthcare. Gov. Abc news jeff zeleny is at the white house covering. Jeff, good morning. Reporter good morning, dan. Youre right. President obama and his family arrived in honolulu early this morning. Its safe to say its a muchneeded rest from a rough and rocky year here in washington. This morning, president obamas agenda is filled with sun and relaxation. Before leaving the white house friday night, he was focused on damage control. Good afternoon, everybody. Has this been the worst year of your presidency . Thats not how i think about it. If i was interested in polling, i wouldnt have run for president. Reporter even as he tried talking up the economy i firmly believe that 2014 can be a breakthrough year for america. Reporter he couldnt escape the fallout from the health care law. The fact is, it didnt happen in the first month. The first six weeks, in a way that was at all acceptable. And since im in charge, obviously, weve screwed it up. Reporter a blunt admission. But the president also defended the law. He says 1 Million People have signed up for private insurance since october 1st. And more than 500,000 so far this month. But ive also got to wake up in the morning and make sure that i do better the next day. And that we keep moving forward. Reporter but his Approval Ratings have fallen to their lowest point. A far cry from the confidence that opened his second term. The end of the year is always a good time to reflect and see, what can you do better next year . Thats how i intend to approach it. Im sure that i will have even better ideas after a couple days of sleep and sun. Reporter if president obamas fifth year was difficult, his aides here tell me they know next year will be even more challenging. Its an election year. Republicans eager to seize on all his troubles, trying to win back control of the senate, which would complicate his second term and his legacy. Dan and bianna . And of course, second terms are always difficult. Jeff zeleny, thank you. Lets get the other top stories developing this morning. For that, we turn to ron claiborne. Hey, ron. Wedding bells for samesex couples in utah. A federal judge struck down utahs samesex marriage ban, declaring it unconstitutional. Thereby legalizing gay unions in that state. Seth anderson and his partner were among the first gay couples to wed on friday. Thats the day the judge issued his ruling. The state Attorney Generals Office is requesting an emergency stay to stop the marriages from continuing. And in colorado, a candlelight vigil for the High School Student shot by a fellow student last week. Claire davis was shot in the head by karl pierson during that incident at Arapahoe High School in colorado. He was heavily armed when he stormed the school. The target, the School Librarian who had disciplined him. And encouraging news about air travel during this busiest travel season of the year. A new government report says flight delays among Major Airlines have dropped 33 . Thats from 2012. It does not include late arrivals for flights by the regional partners of the airlines. Those count for about onequarter of all flights. Canada is one step closer to legalizing prostitution. Canadas Supreme Court ruled in a the current antiprostitution laws in that country are unconstitutional. The plaintiffs, three sex trade workers had claimed the law make it dangerous for them to do their work. Canadas parliament has now one year to come up with a law to regulate the sex trade in a way that it is constitutional, or that will make prostitution legal throughout canada. And a delivery man on the island of maui is being hailed as a hero. He was dropping off some beverages when he saw a car rolling into a busy intersection, after hearing screams coming from inside the car. He ran to the car, jumped inside and pulled the emergency brake. Checked on the kids who were inside that vehicle. Then, calmly went back to work. Im assuming a parent wasnt in the car. There wasnt a parent in the car. And the kids couldnt drive the car. They were too young to operate the vehicle. One could argue, that by the very act of delivering beer, he was already a hero. There you go. I thought ron would make that argument. Im putting this in theoretical terms. I have a story that ron will very much relate to. Were entering prime time for procrastination. Were entering the final weekend before christmas. And theres a mixture of fear and determination at the mall. Linzie janis has been mingling with lastminute shoppers and has more, now, on where to find a bargain. Can you help ron . Are you done with your Christmas Shopping . I was done a while ago.

And two, a lot of different perks available online. Reporter where should we look for the best deals . We asked the experts. Their number one tip, go for the items retailers want to get rid of most. Like anything cold weatherrelated. Sweaters, hats, coats. A late start to the cold led to a surplus. Menswear, shirts, ties. A lack of musthave colors left buyers uninspired.

Walmart clearly welcomed it with open arms. Dan and bianna . I dont get that reception when i go to walmart. Shockingly. Shockingly. Start handing out 50 gift cards. And get a very good reception. Yeah. Time, now, for a check of the weather. And back over to meteorologist damon lane of koco, channel 5 in Oklahoma City. Damon . Good morning. Great to be here.

That is beautiful. I cant wait to see more of that coming up in pop news. We have other things to tell you about on this saturday, december 21st. Also coming up, duck dynasty. Death threats. The controversy over the hit reality show, turning ugly this morning. First, celebrity chef Nigella Lawson, cooking up her next move. Her two personal assistants just acquitted in court, claiming they had approval to wrack up 1 million in spending just to keep quiet about lawsons alleged drug abuse. All eyes on nigella as she goes into fullon damage control. Lama hasan has been following this case since day one. Reporter it was a dramatic end to a dramatic trial. A trial that was meant to be about fraud. Instead, unraveling a slew of secrets. My coffee ice cream. Reporter Nigella Lawson and exhusband, multimillionaire, charles saatchi, have taken their former assistants to court, accusing them of swindling more than 1 million of their money. The prosecution arguing they spent that money without permission and were guilty of, quote, a greedy and fraudulent freeforall. Then came the allegations of drug use, with an email, written by saatchi, read out in court, calling her highjella. Saying, quote, you were so off your head on drugs that you allowed the sisters to spend whatever they like. And yes, i believe every word they have said. Saatchi took the stand saying he never saw her take drugs. And that email was, quote, nasty. Nigellas explosive testimony followed. Forcing her to admit she used cocaine seven times during her life. And, quote, smoked the odd joint. The sisters fought back. Claiming it was more frequent. This has been a long, hard fight, played out in the gaze of the worlds media. Reporter the sisters pleading not guilty. Their defense saying it is inconceivable that nigella did not know about their spending. It all came down to the assistants word against their former bosses. And the jury believed the sisters. Issuing a scathing statement, nigella hit back saying, quote, im disappointed but unsurprised by this verdict. Adding, the jury was faced with a ridiculous sideshow of false allegations about drug use, which made focus on the actual criminal trial impossible. So, will the cook who brought us these delicious dishes be forced to throw in the towel . The good news for nigella is this trial happened in england and not the u. S. And i think shell be able to come to the u. S. And, quote unquote, start fresh. Reporter nigella will be back on our tv screens, hosting abcs the taste, in january. For good morning america, lama hasan, abc news, london. I think the good news for nigella is that the trial is over now. And Martha Stewart bounced back. Nigella will probably be fine. Time for a final check of the morning top stories. Were going to turn back to ron. Hi, again. Bianna, and dan. Sara haines. Hi. How are you . Good morning, everyone. In the news, a risky emergency spacewalk is under way right now in an effort to repair the International Space station. Nasa ordered the walk to fix a problem with the space stations cooling system. Breaking news out of africa. Two u. S. Military airport was hit by ground fire in the nation of south sudan. Three Service Members have reportedly been wounded. The servicemen were in the region were responding to an outbreak of violence in that country. And a possible break for the bikers involved in that motorcycle road rage incident right here in new york city. Ten motorcyclists, one of them an Undercover Police officer, may have charges reduced from assault to attempted assault, because the wounds sustained by the beating victim are healing. Prosecutors are reportedly offering the defendants a plea deal. No word whether that deal offer has been accepted yet. And finally, a dramatic boat rescue off the coast of australia. Two men whose boat started taking on water were stranded for 15 hours in dangerous waters, clinging to a cooler to stay afloat. A Helicopter Rescue crew spotted the boaters eventually and hoisted them to safety. The men are now recovering in the hospital. Time, now, for weather. And back to damon lane, from koco, channel 5 in Oklahoma City. Damon . Yeah, good morning. Watching the middle of america very closely as we continue to see the, freezing rain. We are watching even that heavy rain making its way from Oklahoma City across arkansas, up into the ohio valley. But again, this is going to be a messy part of the country for today.

Through december 24th only, at petsmart® the controversy over a hit reality show, taken to a disturbing, new level this morning. A e network is receiving Death Threats, following their decision to suspend the star of duck dynasty, over his comments about homosexuality. The familys loyalty to their patriarch runs deep. And so does the loyalty of fans and sponsors. Abcs matt gutman has the latest details. Reporter theyre tvs first family of reality. But these stars are refusing to duck and cover. New accusations flying faster than clay pigeons for the hunting family. The latest, condemning this newly surfaced clip of Phil Robertson, giving a fiery sermon in 2010. Women with women, men with men, they committed indecent acts with one another. Reporter those comments made before duck dynasty became the mostwatched reality show ever. But following the incendiary comments robertson made to gq magazine, about homosexuality and the treatment of africanamericans during the era of jim crow laws in the south. While Comedian Jon Stewart made light of things. Id assumed it was a show where ducks reenacted the show dynasty. Which would have a huge gay audience. Reporter this is no laughing matter for a e, which has ridden the duck dynasty juggernaut. Those harry mugs are said to be worth 400 million in merchandising alone. Now, the Robertson Family is threatening to walk back into the bayou. In a statement saying, in part, as a family we cannot imagine the show Going Forward without our patriarch at the helm. And neither can some supporters. Sponsor, underarmour, has decided not to drop the robertsons. Phils publisher, simon schuster, also holding fast. A e, which is partly owned by abc, is not getting that kind of support. The channel says it has received Death Threats from fans. A e did what they needed to do. But they are in a tough position. Fans of the show are upset. Theyre citing freedom of speech. And saying he should be a able to say whatever he wants. Reporter on the internet, patricians popping up. 13 of them saying Phil Robertson should be reinstated on change. Org alone. And the facebook patrician to boycott a e, over 1. 4 million likes and counting. For good morning america, matt gutman, abc news, miami. Not bad, boys. Thats fancy shooting down there. They said if anything were to divide them up, they would quit the show. And looks like theyre living up to their word. This has sparked a nationwide debate. Absolutely. Our thanks to matt gutman for that. And coming up on good morning america, the family, who are a bunch of Real Christmas cards.
