Reporter Aryanna Gourdin and her father took the hunting trip last week, one of their many over the past five years. For sure but online outrage, 73,000 comments on this post alone. Some calling aryanna sick and an animal hater. Even threatening the 12yearolds life. They love animals, but i mean we love animals too. Its just we also love hunting.

The victims family says the alleged shooter tormented them for years because of their nationality. Abcs Clayton Sandell has the latest. Reporter this morning one victims family is reeling from a murder they believe is clearly a hate crime. He just was a sweet, sweet soul. Reporter 31yearold Khalid Jabara was shot and killed in tulsa friday allegedly at the family says terrorized them for years, 61yearold stanley majors. He would call us racial slurs, dirty lebanese.

Reporter jabara called worried majors had a gun and tulsa police came but then left without making an arrest. If we knocked on the door and he doesnt answer, theres no opportunity to go into his house. Reporter but just eight minutes after they left police say majors shot and killed jabara on his own front porch. Jabaras family says this was a hate crime, neighbors saw it too. He walked on to your property and started screaming to my families, all you mexican, we are here. Reporter he was arrested for running down jabaras mother with his car last september despite prosecutors objections in may, maims was released on jail . We definitely want to make sure it doesnt happen again. Reporter police are still investigating a motive. This was an ongoing dispute with neighbors so, yeah, theres hate there. I just dont think the only reason is because theyre middle eastern. Reporter for Good Morning America, Clayton Sandell, abc news, denver. Joining us now abcs chief legal analyst dan abrams. This is such a horrible story. You can understand the position of the family wondering why this neighbor was out in the first place. Absolutely. Im often on this program defending judges saying it isnt intended to punish but it is intended to protect meaning if there is someone a threat to society or to their neighbors, thats the classic case where you dont release the person on bail or bond. And thats why this family has every right to look back and be furious. We hear in the report. It seems like they did everything they were supposed to do. Everything right. And the police were there but they left. The fact the police were have to answer some questions. Doesnt necessarily mean they did anything wrong but theyll have to answer questions as to how is it they called the police right before this happened, i mean, this family repeatedly calls the police, repeatedly brings Law Enforcement in, repeatedly asks and gets restraining orders against this guy. Their position at this point is what else could we have possibly done here . So what could be the possible defense . I expect that he will claim this guy, the defendant now, also had asked for a restraining order against the victim. Do we know why. Yes, there were claims of he came over to his house and damaged property that so i expect there will be some sort of selfdefense claim. Its not a whodunit. Its clear he did it. The question is why. Selfdefense is not going to be easy considering the totality of these experiences. Hillary clinton, donald showdown. How theyre getting ready for their faceoff and what were expecting. The fireworks in that first debate. This caught on camera. A warning to homeowners. What this woman allegedly took from a strangers house that was wide open while the alert.

Well have you doing exercises in our last half hour. That will be exciting. Ill be sweating. We are going to start with the highly anticipated first debate between Hillary Clinton and donald trump. About how theyre preparing. Jon karl is joining us, so, jon, lets start with donald trump. How is he prepping for the first debate. You know, the big news that came out was the meeting that trump had with roger ailes, the former fox news chairman and one of the most experienced and skilled professional political debate preparers in the history of president ial politics. The Campaign Says he is not really an adviser, robin. Role but acknowledged they had a long conversation at one of trumps golf courses. Back in 1988, im sorry, 1984 when Ronald Reagan was pressed about his age and said he would not exploit the youth and inexperience, it was roger ailes that was credited with coming up with that line, one of the most memorable ever. Tell us this, whose job will it be to stand in that room with Hillary Clinton and throw at her all the possibilities that could and really does it come down to how she reacts that could make or break her . God, would you want that job . Can you imagine . Your job is explicitly to get under Hillary Clintons skin. The campaign wont say, my guess is that it would be bob barnett who has played he played Bernie Sanders during the primary debate prep and worked with Hillary Clinton for a long time and hes done this stuff for many, many, many years. But that is one tough job, david, because you have to throw campaign expects fully expects that trump will throw everything at her including all of the stuff about her personal life, bill clintons affairs. Wont be easy. Jon karl. Huge numbers. Theyre talking about olympic size numbers, super bowl numbers of viewers watching. Yeah. Now to a stunning moment caught on camera serviing as a warning. This had been an open house, an its houston, texas, the Real Estate Agent step as way and the woman appears to steel Prescription Medication and Egypt Sherrod joins us. Great to have you. Weve all had an open house at some point. Its not something you think about but opening your doors up to strangers. Good morning, first and foremost. But what i will say is this is not the norm. However, over the years i have heard of several occurrences that would just shock you. Anytng the house to other buyers and then they wander in the kitchen and notice that other wouldbe buyers are eating food out of the homeowners cabinet and refrigerator. Come on. Or three people distract the realtor while one walks around the house casing the joint. It happens. Oh, so what can people do to prevent this from happening, egypt . Be smart. Number one, hide your valuables, any expensive jewelry, electronics, laptops, lock it up walk away and then conceal your personal information. Many times people will think they locked everything away but left their mail or Social Security cards out. It is common that people will snatch your information and, therefore, steal your identity. Another thing is ask your realtor to require a signin sheet when people come in your house and ask for i. D. S. If someone is there for the wrong reason they could sign the wrong name but if you ask for an i. D. , chances are it will ward them off. Ooh. Thank you. If you are the type of person that leaves a spare key near the garage, hide those. Chances are someone if theyre there to case the joint or come back and steal something theyll snatch those keys and walk right out and lastly, when you return home, this is a big one, make sure you check all of your doors to make sure theyre locked as well as your windows. It has happened where someones walked right by, unlocked a window and came back later to basically rob the place. House again. No. It is a great, great tip. Good luck finding anything in my refrigerator that you want to eat. Now to a fierce debate about sportsmanship. Shaunae millers dramatic dive for gold. Its legal. Its legal but it sparked backlash as you know on social media. This isnt the first time Something Like this has happened and talked about this yesterday, dominique. You said when it comes to the olympics by any means necessary but people are saying, really. Yes, perspective. I did the calculations. From my first olympic gapes to my second Olympic Games i was training 7,280 hours in the gym as a kid from my first to second Olympic Games, 1982 barcelona, 1996 Olympic Games. You will do whatever it takes to win a gold medal within the rules and my sport i am held at the mercy of the judges so really i have no control. Shaunae miller had full control and if you have to dive to get across that finish line first and its legal, then you do it.

But first Khloe Kardashian is opening up about her skin cancer scare. The reality star revealing doctors found and removed a message for her fans. Abcs linsey davis has more. Reporter the kardashians are known for sharing the most personal parts of their lives on reality tv. Now Khloe Kardashian is opening up on her website about a skin cancer care. This is the first time shes getting into detail about what its like and her really real scare with skin cancer. Reporter the 32yearold says several years ago after having a few moles checked out doctors found a cancerous on her back. There was one mole i had on my back that was skin cancer, she says. I had eight inches of skin removed. It was definitely painful because it was a lot of skin but most of the time the removals havent been that bad. Khloe kardashian decided to share this story in the hopes that it would make people go and speak to their own if they see anything irregular on their skin. Reporter the keeping up with the kardashians star shares this chart to help others i wanted to share my experience with you so that if you know something doesnt look right you will take action and take care of your health. Now that ive gone through this a couple of times im extra aware of my skin, body and moles. For Good Morning America, linsey davis, abc news, new york. Joining us now is dermatologist dr. Rosemarie ingleton, always good to have you here. Good morning. Good morning to you. A lot of people are talking about this and khloe is being very up front about it and she said about all she had, does that mean if you have a lot of moles youre more susceptible thats one of the risk factors. The more you have the more chance you have. Slightly weird moles or increased risk for getting melanoma. Because there are different types. A lot of people are probably looking at the moles that they have. How do you determine if something is up. Okay, so we have a lot of mows and usually when theyre of the edges, not changing. Regardless of your stage in life, so if you see something thats different from that or suddenly a mole that used to be round and even colored is suddenly irregular and lost an area of color, it looks white on an edge or getting bigger, youre not gaining weight or changing but the mole is changing. You need to have it looked at. That is something you look at. At the office when doing a full skin exam we have a dermatoscope that allows us to think it may be a little off but were not sure we look up close and there are details that it will show us that will tell us that maybe this is one of those that you need to biopsy to make sure theres nothing wrong. How often . We should know our skin and know our body and our skin too, as well. How many times how often should we go and have a full checkup. I tell my patients be familiar with your body. Look every month in the mirror. Get naked. Look at everything front, back, so that if something shows up and professionally you have should it done once annually. If youve had skin cancer much more frequently. Maybe every three to six months, regular public, once a year in your birthday suit on your birthday. Your birthday suit on your birthday. You can see if some of the moles are changing like that. Just give us we can never hear this too much. How we can prevent this from happening. Oh, you feed to wear sunscreen. You need year round. Year round, make it a exposed. In the summer the rest of your body, get a body lotion or something that has spf in it so youll do it every day. Avoid midday sun sitting out there baking. Wear hats. Use awnings, umbrellas, they all help. You cant hear this often enough. It doesnt matter your skin tone. It does not matter. Melanoma is the least common of the skin cancers but its affecting people of color. Very small percentage but it does affect us. Are more common. Melanoma the worst but deadly. Save lives. Thats what youre doing. Always good to see you. Thank you very much. The olympian diving for gold in a photo finish making a lot of headlines.

So we did but, the art room wasnt big enough. It only made sense to build a bigger school. And houses, offices, and a whole neighborhood. . Im on the edge of flory . We all saw it back with an abc news exclusive, the dive seen around the world, Shaunae Miller throwing herself across the finish line head first to claim first. That move sparking a bit of a debate, you can say but also landing shaunae a gold medal and t. J. Is with her now there rio. Good morning again. Yes, hello again, here she is, does it pain you to see that video even . No, no, it really doesnt. Because you got a gold medal. Yeah. So its all good. Settle this for us. Was that dive intentional or not . It really wasnt. It really wasnt. Let me break the entire thing down. Before going into the race knowing my coaches we sat down and discussed everything what we were going to do and, you know i plan really well. When i got bash because i got to 300 first then when i got it comes up. When i got about 40 more meters to go my legs were so heavy from going around so fast then, you know, i started to lose feelings in them and when i was heading towards the line, i saw it was the line, i was like, oh, my gosh, ive got to go and afterwards i felt nothing at all in and i was like you telling me you accid accidentally collapsed your way into the gold medal. I hey, if thats what they want to call it. Thats what happened. You know, i just went really hard and just tried to hold on for dear life. What do you think . If the dive didnt take place do you think you would have won in stride . Do you still think you would have won. I cant say. It wasnt re it was a really close race but sometimes the i dont know how it would have played out but it played out in nye favor. Have you ever done that before . No. Ive never actually i have fell you fell. You didnt dive. Are you the colyou the clumsyie star. I did and ended up flying and so many bruises and almost like a replay again. Never an intentional dive but see runners do this the spirit of the sport like some are suggesting. Sometimes it is like that. But, you know, its a part of the sport. Its legal in the sport so, you know, people go for. Are you disappointed by the controversy and even surprised by it, as well. I was really surprised by it but i dont let things affect me. I was reading them. I got a few laughs and saw all the memes. Some people calling you a cheater. I saw that but, you know, its like i said its a part of the sport. Its been done so many times in its track and field. But you got a gold medal now. Yes. However it came about. Congratulations there, didnt take away from the celebration. No, it didnt. Its an absolute pleasure, congratulations to you, guys, shes got the gold medal. People can think what they want about it but its legal, its fair. I cant believe you called her clumsy. She has the gold medal. Shes the one that said shes falling all the time. Glad we heard that. It didnt look like it was intentional. It didnt look like she meant to do t and a good attitude.

Moves for your arms and i love hearing from people they watch us on the treadmill when theyre working out so envious. Ahead in the day for us. It is. One of the toughest rules in rio, the false start policy. One quick move and you could be out of the Olympic Games for good. T. J. Is taking a closer look at the athletes jumping the gun and saying goodbye to the gold. So harsh after years of training. Yeah, years and really were talking about a lifetime of athletes. You get ready, you finally have the olympic moment. Youre getting to the starting blocks and you scratch your nose and all of a sudden your Olympic Dreams are over. Come on, folks. This rule, we know that just aint right. Did you see that . Look again as 21yearold wilhelm belocian, frenchman, jumps the gun in monday nights 110 hurdles race. In just dreams are shattered. He is out of the Olympic Games. Thats got to be an awful feeling. Reporter hes not alone. On sunday a potential finalist in the 100meter dash against usain bolt also was knocked out after a false start. And, yes, the fastest man on the planet hes not even immune. Usain bolt disqualified after this false start at the 2011 world track and field championships. I believe usain bolt false done rule that took effect in 2010 to keep relatively slower runners from intentionally jumping the gun to throw off the competition. Before that they were at least given a warning. Its a rule long known to swimming. This spanish swimmer headed to the locker room last week but in a twist of humanity the ref gave him a second chance. That was not the case for this double disqualification in sydney in 2000. Leaving just one man in the pool to swim the race all by himself. This at the Olympic Games before. What do you do . Its a rule now, guys and, you know, i just talked to Shaunae Miller a second ago. Shes still sitting here with me and asked her about it. You sprinters, you like this rule . She gave me a death stare l cra . She still is. They have to do it within the rules. I bet she did. Shes still giving you i look like really. Lets bring in Jessica Mendoza on two olympic teams. You agree with it. Absolutely not. I think the biggest reason, one of the reasons they gave when they first started in 2010 actually was for television an the fact that because of a lot of the false starts it was lengthening the amount of time and to me i think you think about usain bolt as we saw disqualified in 2011 at the world championships, that to me is just not the reason why this rule was first set in place and i just i dont like when you think about an athlete trained for four years moment or longer than that. T. J. Brings up a good point, though. They say part of the rule is what it does to the other athletes at the starting line, but you firmly believe they should not be disqualified. Well, one of the reasons youre disqualified in the Olympic Games and as an olympic athlete its because youre cheating. You know, thats the whole idea so whether youre doping, positive drug test and when you think about this, if youre a fraction of a second late you lose so you have to push that envelope but its not cheating. Youre done. So theres probably changes they can make and modify it probably. It starts with the athletes. As much as media and we can talk about how much we dont like it, i know as an athlete you have to band together, talk to your federations and make it an issue. Thats where the Olympic Games and why they create these rules and if they want it reversed it has to begin with athletes who get disqualified. I love when they left softball in. 2020. Ill put back on m wednesday, right . Yes, yes. Yeah. Im going to be talking about it. But ginger is already there outside.

Pounds by taking walks to walmart shedding the weight and getting back his life. Mara schiavocampo went oneonone with him. A transformation you will not believe. They call him impossible pat and accomplished the near impossible. He was tipping the skills at 600 pounds when his doctor told him he may die in his sleep. He decided to change his life going from 53 body fat to 10 body fat and now hes training to be a body builder. How did he do it all . Well, it started with one walk to walmart. Walmart . Reporter ever since he was little he was known as the big kid. Pat steaks. Reporter at 28 he weighed in at a shocking 605 pounds. Already prediabetic his doctors told him he was in serious danger. He said, you know, its possible that you might die. It really hit home. Reporter thats when pat the mirror and took this photo. My stomach was down to my thighs. My chest was hanging down here. I was disgusted. Reporter and so his journey started by throwing out all the food in his house, deciding that every time he was hungry he would walk one mile to the closest walmart and one mile home to eat his meal. Doing this for a year and a half. Losing a whopping 200 pounds. You walk to walmart three types a day and y walking six miles, it was amazing because ive never walked six mys in my life and i was doing it every day. Saying goodbye to junk food, fast food and soda and hello to clean eating. Basically was vegetables, meat and clean carbs. Reporter carbs such as sweet potatoes, brown rice, quinoa and teal cut oatmeal and learning along the way that hed never be able to eat certain foods again. Once i figured out dairy was diet and instanted started losing weight again. Reporter from that to workouts at the gym inclined on the treadmill pushing the sled, lifting weights and now he can do it all. 600 pounds, i couldnt even go to a gym. I didnt fit on machines. Reporter from fat pat to possible pat. 330 pounds lighter. Not only changing his own life but encouraging his 1yearold son as set an example for my son so he can come up and be possible pat too. Good job this story makes me so happy. Amazing. Pat has undergone the final step in his transformation, just this week he had surgery to remove about 30 pounds of excess skin. He had really been looking forward to that at home recovering and feeling good of the we hope hes watching. Congratulations on everything youve achieved. Pat is jacked. Not only setting the bar for the he eats. This is one day of what pat was eating before when he was more than 600 pounds. One day. The snugs here. 100 chicken nuggets. We have a shake, we have a huge meatball sandwich, doughnuts, candy, a whole bag of cereal. Lots of soda and the dairy he mentioned. This is what pat is eating today. This is about 11,000 calories. This is 2200. All fresh whole foods, nothing processed really setting a great with also the exercise. Simple walks to walmart. Now have to pull off a simple walk to dr. Ashton and lose a few calories. Joined now by our contributor dr. Jen ashton Board Certified in east beastie medicine. I made the walk. Anyway, this is just incredible. You heard that he watched what he ate. How much of that is crucial to losing any kind of weight . A large part of it in the nutrition world we call this the its not just about what were eating but how much and im going to break some news here, david. You know what the best diet is that data has shown . Best . The one that works for you. He found what works for him. My prescription here, portion control. So important. We saw it there. Its important for everyone. The first instinct is to just hit the gym hard. We see the olympic athletes out in times square for us but so much has to do with food first, watching what you eat then the gym. Absolutely, but, look, what we do in the gym, how we move is important for not just how feel but what people see on the outside. The institute of medicine recommends to lose weight, 60 minutes of moderate intensity exercise a day. For men you want to drop your caloric by about 500 calories a day, for women its about 400 calories a day. My prescription for fitness. Mix it up. Lift weights and do cardio and want to work in the interval. Make it interesting. The other thing too, this complex, obesity, you cant just think of it as food or exercise. Theres much more there. Using in the world of obesity, behind the diet and fitness talk about fda approved weight loss medications. There are numerous ones that are on the market. You can lose between 3 and 10 of your body weight but to be clear, there can be side effects. They can be expensive. My prescription is try to see a physician who is Board Certified in obesity medicine to see if its an option. Pat is getting surgery after the fact that remove the excess skin. What about surgery going in. We have over 20 on bariatric surgery. It can be life saving. It is not a quick fix. My prescription, if you tried all of these and youre still obese, go see a bariatric surgeon. See if you may be a candidate. If youre overwhelmed look at pat and that story. Isnt it incredible. I love this story. Coming up thanks, dr. Jen ashton. We showed you a weight loss win. Next the workout win.

Arm, whether youre thinking rowing, softball, swimming, arms are so important but incorporating the whole body, the olympic throwdown. So you get into a squat, youre going to bring it to your chest and get it overhead and throw it down. Pick it back up. Throwdown, robin, incorporates the entire body along with it. You want to get the entire body in on it. With gymnasts we see so many aspects of their body thaw want to work. Start with what part. The legs, i mean, we are doing a lot on the vault and we need how to jump so lunge and kick is a modification, lunge and kick. If you want to add more intensity, lunge and kick jump. Now, always good to have a table or chair next to you for you see im even falling. How about for the core . A lot dont want to work the core. Heres a basic move gymnasts, a hollow hold. It looks easy and its not very easy, but i like to add intensity by holding my little daughters overhead and adds modification, armsover our chest or slightly bend your knees.
