[ applause ] that's all for us tonight. i want to thank my studio audience and my guests. a very lively evening. tomorrow night my exclusive interview with israeli prime minister ned netanyahu. [ bleep ]. >> crisis at the capital. a woman with a child inside her car leads police on a high-speed chase from the white house to capitol hill. a collision. shots are fired forcing a lockdown on capitol hill. >> they are stalling for time so that they can jam this up against the debt ceiling. >> day four. the government still shutdown.

is there an end in sight? speaker boehner pulled in two directions and making a fascinating pledge. fema has begun to recall currently for a load of employees necessary to serve functions of the agency that protect life and property as they prepare for potential landfall. >> here comes tropical storm karen brewing in the gulf and ready to strike land. fema workers furloughed. it's a state of emergency what has been declared. what you need to know for the weekend. >> storm is getting strong in the southeast. have that for you in a little bit. good morning, everyone. welcome to "early start." i'm john berman. >> i'm zoraida sambolin. welcome our viewers from the united states and around the world. we begin with the chaos in the nation's capital. a woman ramming her call in the

white house barricade. now investigators are trying to determine what drove a connecticut with him to use her car as a weapon. joe johns picks up the story. >> reporter: a heart stomping scene unfolding outside the u.s. capitol. cameras watch as a reported reportedly 44 years old speed away in a luxury car. careening through the streets with police in hot pursuit. >> on capitol hill. shelter in place. >> reporter: officers, politicians, staffers and by-standers sent running. hunking behind whatever they could find. secret service says the incident began at 2:14 after a verbal exchange with one of their uniformed officers. the woman ramming her black infinity sedan into a security barrier a block from the white house. after police asked her to get

out of the car she drove away leading them to a high-speed chase down pennsylvania avenue all the way to the east side of the capitol. secret service on her tail. >> this unauthorized vehicle approached a checkpoint. our officers acted appropriately. the vehicle then fled and in fleeing, struck one of our officers as it departed the initial scene. >> reporter: the suspect drove around garfield avenue. careening around one of the most secure areas. police opened fire and no weapons found inside the car. >> when i heard the gunfire, five or six rounds, my wife and i dropped to the ground. >> i was walking to the capitol building and 30 seconds later as i hit this point, three or four cop cars sped past me and 30 seconds after that, i heard a series of loud pops and a gun going off. >> reporter: inside the vehicle

a 1-year-old girl believed to be the woman's daughter. an officer pulled her from the car and took her to the hospital. one of the two officers injured was hurt after hitting this barricade during the high speed pursuit. [ bleep ]. >> this does not appear to be in any way an accident. this was a lengthy pursuit. there were multiple vehicles that were rammed. there were officers that were struck. and two security perimeter that were attempted to be breached so it does not appear in any way this is an accident. >> reporter: officials say both officers are in good condition and recovering as the city still reeling from the deadly navy yard shooting reliving moments of fear once again. >> our thanks to joe johns. he mentioned the navy yard shooting. that is key to remember here. everyone so incredibly tense with these images and chaos going on. there was a mass shooting a few weeks ago and i think explains why everyone was on edge. >> you don't know if there is a

bomb in the car and so many up answered questions when it's that questions. >> some of those answers are being answered when it is dealing with the woman behind the wheel in that chase. law enforcement authorities say she is 34-year-old mary kerry of stanford, connecticut and apparently had a history of mental illness. her boyfriend contacted police last weekend say she was acting delusional. she claims president obama had put stanford on lockdown and he was fearing for her daughter's safety. they say mary kerry suffered from post partum depression. >> it sounded like postpartum psychosis. just terrible. very serious. 5:00 minutes past the hour. now to the do nothing government. day four of the shutdown and no

immediate end in sight. you see the classwork the clock in the corner. that is how long this has been going on. boehner says he won't allow a default when the debt ceiling votes hits in less than two weeks. we are going to get more from cnn's brianna keilar. >> reporter: with the government partially shut down and the united states careening towards defaulting on its debts in mid october, house speaker john boehner made a key admission about the debt ceiling. a republican who spoke to cnn after a private meeting with house gop members said boehner informed them he will not allow a default to happen even if it means relying on votes from democrats. >> i'm all wired up here. >> reporter: in a city that lives for an open mike moment to pull back the curtain. >> we are willing to compromise and willing to negotiate. >> reporter: mitch mcconnoll and rand paul delivered. >> i don't think they -- we won't negotiate. i think it's awful for them to

say that over and over again. >> i do too. >> reporter: at a campaign style event in maryland. >> hello, everybody. >> reporter: president obama pulled a bit of an ace out of his sleeve sounding the alarm for a key voting block seniors. >> in a government shutdown, social security checks still go out on time. in an economic shutdown, if we don't raise the debt ceiling, they don't go out on time. >> reporter: he, again, pressured house speaker john boehner to fund the government and drop obama care concessions. >> call a vote. put it on the floor. and let every individual member of congress make up their own minds. they can show the american people, are you for a shutdown or not? >> reporter: a shooting on capitol hill brought into the chaos in washington. the two fellow officers injured are working without pay because of the shutdown. brianna keilar, cnn, washington. the shutdown not just

hurting in the united states but abroad. overnight, president obama canceled a trip to asia next week because of the ongoing shutdown. he shortened the trip from four countries to two and now john kerry will lead the delegations and going instead of the president. this was a crucial trip the president wanted to bowelster u.s./asian policy and he was supposed to meet with vladimir putin to discuss the crisis in syria. that will not happen. another casualty of the shutdown. fema put a temporary malt to the temporary layoffs as it gears up for tropical storm karen. it's expected to strike the gulf coast this weekend. the agency furloughed about 86% of its staff. but now many are being called back because they need to help protect life and protect property. >> right. karen is heading toward the southeast where they are now

getting ready for this. tropical storm karen, the 11th named storm of the atlantic hurricane season and could be the first tropical system to hit the united states this year. karen is gaining strength out in the gulf of mexico right now packing 65-mile-per-hour winds. forecasters say it could come ashore this weekend, possibly as a hurricane anywhere from louisiana to the florida panhandle. guys, pay attention to where this thing is headed. let's get a look now, an early look at the weather from chad myers. >> good morning. another problem with karen is where it's going to make landfall has been very wet all summer long. a 60-mile-per-hour storm will knock down trees left and right. there will be major power problems across the southeast for the weekend. severe storms across parts of the midwest. a snow event for the upper midwest into wyoming, nebraska and south dakota. it's still going on there. there will be feet of snow in

the higher elevations of wumg up into south dakota, the black hills and all of those areas will see a lot of snow. 89 mems and 86 atlanta and 87 new orleans. a couple of airport delays. new york city will have low clouds and a couple of showers and minneapolis, a thunderstorm or two. denver, there is that rain, light snow in the mountains and also some wind. back to you guys. >> thank you, chad. a new arrival at the san diego zoo now has a name. meet zina. a two-toed baby sloth. visitors to the new named the cuddly creature and official say zina is -- don't laugh. she is being trained to be an animal ambassador for the zoo. now the sloth is typically asleep 15 to 18 hours and spends the rest of the day searching for food. kind of like berman does. >> that's right. that is me searching for food all day and napping. >> do you have two toes?

>> i have many toes. the toe-toed sloth is my favorite kind of sloth, by the way. >> really? >> are there four-toed sloth? >> please tell us, if you know. there could be a ten-toed sloth. >> congratulations to zina who won over the name that means precious. coming up, new developments in that bizarre biker/suv brawl here in new york city. police say a major suspect could now be in custody. police hae

the man seen here smashing the window with his helmet. police say he could could be in custody soon. bikers came out thursday in defense of another rider charged in the incident. >> if you look at the video, the man first at the suv telling him to "move over, stop." because you're driving erratically. then he ignored that and then he said let me slow down to see if i can slow this man down. that man did not slow down an ounce. he hit the bike. >> but the wife of the suv driver is defending her husband's action which left a

biker paralyzed saying he left them no choice because he put their family in grave danger. >> some people calling that a piece of road rage. details still unclear. in connecticut a clear case of road rage. police say the man you see here drawing his gun and firizing a doctor. we have seen that terrifying video but the other man who took this video is now releasing the whole tape and speaking out about this harrowing high-speed confrontation. cnn's gary tuchman has much more. >> the noise. i had the camera out the window. >> reporter: david collar was driving on interstate 75 south of lexington, kentucky, when he shot this video on his phone. it was almost the last thing he ever did. keep an eye on the black lincoln with the bicycle attached to the black in left lane. david started rolling his video after he says the man behind the man started driving recklessly in the emergency lane. this is the for the first time the video has been seen.

>> he is passing people on the shoulder. he is tailgating somebody didn't get over quick enough for them so he went on the left emergency shoulder and passed this vehicle. at this point interstate 75 is four lanes long. i turn on my video of my cell phone which is easy to do and try to get his license plate number but he doesn't like that and almost comes to a complete 1207 stop in the left-hand lane on i-75. at that point i know he a little bit crazy. >> reporter: this is presicisel where david was on the intant. he was afraid police would not make out what woo on the rear plate so he saw the right rear window open. he thought he would get video of the driver's face. >> i was getting in front of him. i'm starting to slow down and i see his window come down. his win comes down and he pull

up his hand and points a gun at my face. >> reporter: we zoom in the picture and it is clear the driver is pointing a gun at david collar. not only he is pointing the gun you can clearly see smoke. it appears the driver also fired the gun. >> i was scared. after the shot was fired, i'm like, i'm not hit, i don't feel anything. i looked around in the vehicle thinking, you know, that had to hit somebody but i didn't see any bullet holes or anything. >> reporter: your heart must have been beating fast? >> yeah. it was a little crazy. >> reporter: david k on ollar told police his story and gave them the video. now pairen dobbins is under arrest. a prison official in the southern indiana town of branchville. a former family physician. a doctor who has a very troubled past. records in north carolina where he used to practice show on december of 2008, dobbins filled

unauthorized prescriptions for oxycodo oxycodone. as a result of the north medical board told him to surrender his license. he practiced in louisiana. his license is in indefinite probation. but in indiana he was allowed to practice once another doctor was present. in may of 2011, indiana waived that practice and dobbins is allowed to practice. he is out on bond. he faces the possibility of five years behind bars. but charges could be increased following an investigation. a supervisor tells us he has been fired from his job whe. where he is currently, we don't know. >> how are you days later? >> i'm just sick ever since it happened. if we could just go back and him flip me the finger instead of the gun, i would be a lot

happier. >> gary tuchman, cnn, lexington, kentucky. >> that is scary. a criminal couple is behind bars. police have charged the pair in florida. the husband allegedly caught on tape fleeing the scene in a 200,000 dollar astin martin. police say he left the mansion with more than 400,000 dollars in jewelry and cash. but not before leaving the woman of the housebound and gagged. so the couple faces armed burglary and assault charges. the owner of the home is the male suspect's boss! coming up, if twitter stopped, is it an investment you have dreamed of? the wait is over. the company revealing new financial details. it is $1 billion ipo plan, i got to say wall street and tech freaks are salivating over the deal in this.

who is this? >> awesome, whatever it is. >> bruno mars? >> thank you. >> trying to bring you fun and music. >> did you bring money? >> good morning. >> not with me. maybe a credit card or two. good morning. let's start out with what is going on with this big twitter plan with ipo coming up. should we talk about that? >> oh, yeah yes. >> salivating wall street. twitter is going public with its ipo plans and financial details. twitter reported a 69 million dollar net loss on 253 million in revenue for the first half of 2013. that compares to a 49 million dollar net loss on 122 million revenue for the year earlier period. those are the numbers. the company says it had 218 million active users june 2013

and up from 150 million in june of 2012. quite a pickup there. twitter wants to raise $1 billion in this ipo, but it didn't say whether it will trade on the nasdaq or the new york stock exchange and its ticker symbol will be twtr. facebook says ads on instagram will be as unintrusive as possible. some good news here for folks. td bank says workers affected by the government shutdown can get a loan for the amount of their monthly paycheck up to $1,000 without paying interest and without paying fees. the thing you do have to have is an account in good standing and

also other big banks say they are going to help workers on a case-by-case basis. we have to talk about this. house speaker john boehner hopes to avoid another big crisis over the debt ceiling in a couple of weeks. he is reportedly meeting with lawmakers and says he will not permit the country to default for the first time on its debt "the washington post" says he told fellow republicans they come up with an agreement that a significant number of democrats would support. let's quickly go back to twitter. this is the talk of the day. it's a huge thing. not knowing where it's going to list is a big thing too. >> they are growing in a huge way every year, but also not profitable and not close to profitable. another thing. they are already on mobile. they are everywhere they need to be. the question is how can they start making money and how soon? that is right paep t. the mobile is where it's at. i see 65% of revenue comes from like ads.

three-fourths are on mobile users. so that is the question. we have new details on the woman killed during that capitol hill chase. why police say they are confident that this was no accident. and hurrying like a kitten. wait until you see the surprise lurking inside this florida driver's engine. >> wow.

we have the very latest. a burg topping could some have church goers upset. a burger that may be s sacreligious. >> 30 minutes past of the hour. let's get the latest fallout from the federal government shutdown. president obama has now canceled a scheduled trip to asia. it said secretary of state john kerry will lead the u.s. delegations visiting indonesia and we are four days into the shutdown. for the first time, though, there are some signs that the house speaker john boehner may be beginning to crack under some pressure of a party fractured over whether to attack changes to obama care to any government funding and debt ceiling

increase. the speaker now says he will not let the country default. he may be willing to pass a debt ceiling increase with some democratic votes. this could be a major development and major concession. there is a ripple effect from the government's shutdown. as cnn tells us companies, large and small, all across the country are starting to feel it. >> reporter: we have liftoff. lockheed martin is one of the 1 people, many on government projects. so the company telling those who normally work it now closed government offices to go to other lockheed buildings or work from home while the company braces for whatever is coming ne next. in a written statement saying any effect on lockheed martins and its employees depend on individual contract terms and on the length of the shutdown. far beyond washington and dozens of states with significant numbers of federal offices, the

ripples are hitting not just furloughed civil servants but private companies that rely on trade with the government. >> a terrible thing. it's a terrible situation. >> reporter: colorado, for example, is home to a large number of federal research labs studying energy, climate, wildlife and more and employee nearly 9,000 people. colorado study found 1.2 billion it pours into the state's economy and money that is not flowing now. >> they spend their paychecks in their communities. they spend money at restaurants and spend money on their rents and car payments and entertainment. >> reporter: some companies with longer term business cycles say they can wait to see what happens but at this bar and grill in baltimore, the impact has been immediate. this place is closed to a huge social security office. >> it's very difficult. if you continue, i'm not going

to be able to open up. >> reporter: it is difficult to calculate how many jobs in the private sector may be affected if this goes on, but just to make it a little bit harder, people in government charged with counting such things, they are not working either. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> thank you, tom. authorities are searching the home of a stamford, connecticut, woman, for clues as to why she rammed her car into a white house barrier on thursday afternoon and then on a police chase that led to her shot and killed. the suspect has been identified as 34 miriam carey. inside that car was a 1-year-old girl. luckily, she was unharmed. law enforcement authorities saying carey's boyfriend told police last year he was feared for his daughter's security. he claimed that president obama had stamford under lockdown and her house under electronic

surveillance. carey had been allegedly suffering from post-traumatic syndrome. tropical storm karen is gaining strength out in the gulf of mexico. forecasters do expect this to come ashore possibly as a hurricane as soon as this weekend. >> indra petersons is watching this for us. we will have her later in the show but right now, chad myers with an early look at our weather. >> good morning. another problem with karen is where it's going to make landfall has been very wet all summer long. a 60-mile-per-hour storm will knock down trees left and right. there will be major power problems across the southeast for the weekend. severe storms across parts of the midwest. a snow event for the upper midwest into wyoming, nebraska and south dakota. it's still going on there. there will be feet of snow in the higher elevations of wyoming, up into south dakota, the black hills and all of those areas will see a lot of snow.

the stolen attack was encrypted but they reset passwords as a recaution, they said. police have arrested a 22-year-old montana newlywed thursday and say she confessed to pushing her husband off a cliff just eight days after their wedding. jordan graham has been arrested. graham is due in court. her arraignment later today. a new consequence for teen bullies. cut it out or face arrest. police in connecticut collared a 12-year-old for repeatedly bullying. police say the alleged victim's parents came to them after their daughter talked of suicide. the only way to prevent further problems was to step in. they say the alleged bully is more likely to face antibullying classes than to see any jail time. a big relief for a kansas woman who has her mother's ashes

back after they were left in a liquor shop. kathleen leonard can thank charlie win who was determined to return them. he put up ads and called the local media in wichita. leonard saw the news report and got the back of the ashes back. >> that was nice. >> incredibly heart-wrenching. a new pair of prosthetic legs for a little ireland nugent. she lost both legs last april when her father accidentally backed over her with a riding lawn mower. her first pair of prosthetics had to be removed because of bone spurs but now little miss ireland is back on her feet. >> she doesn't know the difference or that anything is out of the ordinary. it's like a new toy for her. she doesn't realize out important it is. we are trying to take it day-by-day and get her walking and as long as she is happy, i'm

happy. >> ireland wants to be a ballerina when she grows up and i would not bet against that little girl. is she adorable or what? >> look at her walk on those legs. >> here i come, world! try to stop me! love that. >> 37 minutes after the hour. he is the first pope to take the name of st. francis. now the new pontiff will visit the birth place of his name sake. he is known for renouncing his health and embrace is poverty. pope francis will take the issue of the poor. so important for this pope. he is a so-called people's pope, he is trying to change the catholic church and really reshape the entire vatican. >> some say, you know, that he is, you know, kind of channeling francis in a big effort. >> he has made a big effort in a short time. i don't know how the pope will feel about this next story.

a restaurant in chicago has a burger topped with a communion waiver. they call it the ghost burger. it is to a heavy metal swedish ban called ghosts that performs satirical songs. wafers don't have taste to them so they are sending a message there put it seems odd to me. we will change gears and talk about kittens like this one that was hiding inside an engine inside a mall. there is a good samaritan who managed to catch the kitten and hand him over to police. he will now try to find a new home. wow, that is a cute cat. i'm glad it didn't get die.

erin burnett spoke with danny fargeis who caught the final moments that have police chase on tape. >> i was already pointing that direction. i was shooting a shot of a protester walking toward me with a sign and behind her happened to be what i thought was a motorcade, which was approaching a little faster than usual. what happened unfolded there so i was already shooting and it just was instinct to keep shooting, obviously. i couldn't really tell how many people were in the car. there seemed to be two or three police cars and they were just like seeing a movie or a tv show when they were stopping the car from movement. the police got out and were shouting at her to get out. like in the movie, she rammed them back and forth until she could get out and she sped off, made a urks tu-turn and sped pa again. >> patty bills watched as the

officers tried to pull the suspect's child to safety. >> i couldn't actually see the driver to what she was doing but i could see someone in the car. i immediately saw the police enforcement, all of them trying to pull the child from the car to safety. it was very obvious that they wanted to get the child out of there before something happened, which did, which was the gunfire. because she was very ramie in the car. the car, she had hit into a police car. she had hit into the little booth that had the police where they stand in it. clearly, she was using the car as a weapon. >> could you see that there had been a child in the car, i mean, before she was taken out, obviously? >> i could not see there was a child before. when i saw the police run over and open the door and was pulling a child out, then i knew that they were trying to get the child out to safety first. >> wow. on piers morgan, a child safety endangered by the shutdown. tom is a furloughed worker

struggling to care for his family including a daughter who is blind and autistic. >> it is going to be difficult to handle. there's no questioning that. you know, telling me they are going to pay me down the road doesn't help me today when i have to pay the power bill. i have to pay the water bill. you know? and i have to pay insurance. i have to go to the pharmacy and buy medications for my daughter. how am i supposed to pay for it when i have no money today or when i get paid on my next payday? promising me something down the road doesn't help me today. >> what do you think, mr. penders, of the way the politicians are behaving over this in washington? >> i think they are behaving like a bunch of spoiled children, like a bunch of 5-year-olds throwing temper tantrums, especially the republicans. they need to get over it. the affordable care act is law. it was upheld by the supreme court. it's law. it went in effect october 1st. and the republicans just need to deal with it and stop acting

like children and get us back to work. i feel like i'm being held a hostage. >> real people with real problems trying to get on with their very real lives and congress not helping right now. coming up tonight on "piers morgan" a one-on-one with benefiti benjamin netanyahu. he has some advice about the government shutdown. >> right now, the government in america has shut down. i don't think you've ever had to put up with this particular eventuality itself. what do you think of what is going on now? how does it impact israel? are you concerned if it goes on too long it will damage the global economy? >> they will work it out. been there, done that. you say we weren't there before. we actually were. so some of us introduced a change in the israel system which, by the way, i think is not as good of a political system as the one in the united states. i think with all of its flaws,

the american political system has a lot riding for it but we improved on one thing. in our case, if you don't get a budget by december 31st, an automatic budget goes in 1 oo12 last year's budget and if you still don't get a budget six months later, we all go to elections. you know what, piers? we always get the budget passed! >> that was fascinating! i did not know that. that is interesting way to run a government and fascinating to hear the leads of another country saying he likes our political system better. >> that was really interesting. >> i can't wait to watch that whole interview. >> nice solutions too. >> you can watch that full interview and sounds like a great one at 9:00 eastern tonight on "pier morgan live. >> why some say the dodgers have an advantage greater than

home field. pitcher clayton kershaw dominates the mound! >> he was sick last night! >> sick? andy scholes will be with us to talk about the sick moments when we come back.

seven innings of work and dodgers cruise to an easy 6-1 win to take a 1-0 lead in the series. the pirates, meanwhile, they wish they had clayton kershaw. a.j. burnett got the ball game one in the buccos and a melt down of epic proportions. he failed to record an out in the third inning! carlos beltran hit a three-run upper deck home run in the cardinals seven-run third and his 15th postseason dinger tying him for babe ruth for eighth all-time. st. louis crushed the pirates 9-1 in game one of that series. playoffs continue today on tbs with a triple-header. the rays and red sox get things going at 3:00 eastern and that game is followed by game two between the dodgers and the braves and the nightcap is game one between the tigers and the a's. the cleveland browns traded their best player running back trent richardson three weeks ago. most people thought they were mail it in. since the trade the team is 3-0.

josh gordon has a 37-yard touchdown in the third quarter and that tied the game. the browns win 37-24. they are now on top of the afc north division at 3-2! guys, it's their best start in 12 years! so break up the browns. >> i did not see that one coming at all when they made that trade. >> i have to go back to baseball. when you said a triple-header, bermman started twitching, he is so excited. i think you're calling in sick next week? >> the red sox are on at 3:00 which is when i fall asleep. i'm very excited for this and it is fantastic. thank you, andy, because you brought us the triple-headers, because of you. romance going on here. wrecking ball between miley cyrus and sinead o'connor.

lockdown on capitol hill. a woman rammed her car through barriers in the white house and the capitol and led police on a wild, wild chase that erupted in gunfire. . in the end the suspect was dead and two officers injured. inside the car was a 1-year-old child. investigators now have so many questions. cnn's joe johns is in washington with much more. joe, what are you learning? >> reporter: good morning, john. today, washington, d.c. is recovering from more pandemonium as authorities try to figure out where 34-year-old miriam carey rammed that white house barricade and led police on a crazy chase up here to the united states capitol, two weeks after the navy yard shooting. >> reporter: a heart-stopping scene unfolding outside the u.s. capitol.

cameras watch as a reported reportedly 34 years old speed away in a luxury car. careening through the streets with police in hot pursuit. >> [ bleep ] on capitol hill. shelter in place. >> reporter: officers, politicians, staffers and by-standers sent running. >> everybody this way now! >> reporter: hunkering behind whatever they could find. secret service says the incident began at 2:14 after a verbal exchange with one of their uniformed officers. the woman ramming her black infiniti sedan into a security barrier a block from the white house. after police asked her to get out of the car she drove away leading them to a high-speed chase down pennsylvania avenue all the way to the east side of the capitol. secret service on her tail. >> this unauthorized vehicle approached a checkpoint. our officers acted appropriately. the vehicle then fled and in fleeing, struck one of our officers as it departed the initial scene. >> reporter: the suspect drove

around garfield circle and careening toward the capitol east front, one of the most secure buildings in the country. careening around one of the most secure areas. police opened fire and no weapons found inside the car. >> when i heard the gunfire, five or six rounds, my wife and i dropped to the ground. >> i was walking to the capitol building and 30 seconds later as i hit this point, three or four cop cars sped past me and 30 seconds after that, i heard a series of loud pops and a gun going off. looked like it was from outside. >> reporter: inside the vehicle, a 1-year-old girl believed to be the woman's daughter. an officer pulled her from the car and took her to the hospital. one of the two officers injured was hurt after hitting this barricade during the high speed pursuit. >> oh! [ bleep ] >> this does not appear to be in any way an accident. this was a lengthy pursuit. there were multiple vehicles that were rammed.

there were officers that were struck. and two security perimeter that were attempted to be breached so it does not appear in any way this is an accident. >> reporter: officials say both officers are in good condition and recovering, as the city still reeling from the deadly navy yard shooting reliving moments of fear once again. hospital center said the u.s. capitol police officer injured in the chase has been relieved and miriam carey's 1-year-old is in good condition and in protective custody. >> our thanks to joe johns at the capitol. the emotions, obviously, posterioring through after the chaos a few weeks ago at the navy yard. >> i'm sure people are shocked a little girl was inside of that car. hopefully, she is okay. we are learning more about the woman behind the wheel in the capital security scare. law enforcement tell cnn she is 4-year-old miriam carey from

stamford, connecticut. she reportedly had a history of mental illness. her boyfriend contacted police last december saying she was acting delusional. she claimed that president obama put stamford on lock down and she was under electronic surveillance. he told police he feared for his infant daughter's safety. the boy said miriam carey suffered from post partum depression. the shutdown is having a global impact. president obama has called off his long planned asia trip and that announcement came late last night. a key meeting was on that trip with vladimir putin to talk about syria. today is day fours of t of the . it could be another day of bickering in washington. both sides are looking from the shutdown to a looming clash over the debt ceiling. there may be a glimmer of hope we have seen in a while here. a notion that speaker boehner may be ready to make a move that could end this whole thing and

get the government back to work eventually. here is cnn's brianna keilar. >> reporter: with the government partially shut down and the united states careening towards defaulting on its debts in mid october, house speaker john boehner made a key admission about the debt ceiling. a republican who spoke to cnn after a private meeting with house gop members said boehner informed them he will not allow a default to happen even if it means relying on votes from democrats. >> i'm all wired up here. >> reporter: in a city that lives for an open mike moment to pull back the curtain. >> i just go over and over again. we are willing to compromise and willing to negotiate. >> reporter: mitch mcconnell and rand paul delivered. >> i don't think they -- we won't negotiate. i think it's awful for them to say that over and over again. >> i do too. >> reporter: at a campaign style event in maryland. >> hello, everybody. >> reporter: president obama pulled a bit of an ace out of his sleeve, sounding the alarm for a key voting block seniors.

>> in a government shutdown, social security checks still go out on time. >> reporter: as he explained why defaulting is worse than a government shutdown. >> in an economic shutdown, if we don't raise the debt ceiling, they don't go out on time. >> reporter: he, again, pressured house speaker john boehner to fund the government and drop obama care concessions. >> call a vote. put it on the floor. and let every individual member of congress make up their own minds. they can show the american people, are you for a shutdown or not? >> reporter: even a car chase and shooting on capitol hill brought into the chaos in washington. the two fellow officers injured are working without pay because of the shutdown. brianna keilar, cnn, washington. it's back to work for some government employees. fema put a temporary halt to the temporary layoff as it gears up for tropical storm karen, expected to strike the gulf coast this weekend. the agency furloughed 86% of its

staff but many are called back. why? they need to help protect life and property. big news brewing right now off the gulf coast. literally bracing for tropical storm karen. landfall is possibly as a hurricane expected this weekend. storm watches up from louisiana to the florida panhandle. we have our indra petersons live in pensacola, florida. give us a sense of the latest, indra. >> reporter: good morning, guys. definitely feels like a typically morning in pensacola, florida, this morning. gusty conditions and a few bouts of rain here and there but we know that is quickly changing as we head into the weekend. karen is in the gulf and it's an unusually quiet season which now suddenly could be turning active. this could be actually our first hurricane to make landfall on the u.s. mainland. let's talk about those current conditions right now. you can see we are seeing about

65-mile-per-hour stead winds right now. kind of moving to the northwest at 10 miles per hour so that is definitely we are going to be monitoring here and it could strength throughout the evening hours so something we are watching and borderline tropical storm or a weak category 1 hurricane. something to keep in mind. whichever way it goes you're still going to be feeling generally the same effects. take a look at the landfall expected to be most likely friday to saturday morning. 8 inches of rainfall where it comes ashore you're talking about the higher surf and talking about strong rip tides and strong gusts. something i do want to point out. we have been talking about rain in the southeast for so many months. they very above average for rainfall so it doesn't take much wind to uproot any trees so that is a concern as well and the power outages. the only two hurricanes that have already formed this year, we had ingrid which did not hit us. this is very interesting how late we are starget to see the

developments and the activity here. the last storm was a major hurricane was dennis. it has been some time and it's definitely they are aware of in this area. i want to talk about another big concern across the country today and that is that storm that continues to make its way through the midwest and producing heavy amounts of snow through wyoming and push east today. the biggest concern here is a severe weather outbreak. blizzard conditions first. you got wyoming and it moves into the dakotas. blizzard conditions. high winds 60, 70 miles per hour and low visibility and possibility about a foot of snow. you're talking about the threat for tornadoes today really anywhere from minnesota all the way down through oklahoma so that is a big concern well. a lot going on today. >> recap, blizzard conditions, tornado situations, and what could be a hurricane hitting the gulf coast where you are waiting right now. great to have you down there. appreciate it. coming up, caught on tape. a deadly shoot-out between a soldier and police.

adt. always there. welcome back to "early start." a special trip today for pope francis visiting the birth place of his name sake. he is the first pope to take the name of the 13th century saint and that saint is known for renouncing his wealth and embracing the poor. as cnn's ben wedeman reports, the pope has taken on more than just the name. he is live in rome with that for us this morning. good morning, ben. >> good morning, zoraida. the pope has said many times he wants the church to be poor and serve the poor and that is very much the theme of his visit to assisi today. he has departed -- prepared remarks that were distributed by the vatican press office in --

in these off the cuff remarks, he condemned the world's obsession with money, money, vanity, and pride. now this is a pope who, for instance, has said he is not going to be using the papal. he drives around the grounds of the vatican in an old used car. this is a man who really is pushing this theme that the church should serve the poor and that poor should come, above all else. just earlier this week in a newspaper interview, he said that the two greatest evils of the world at the moment are youth, unemployment and the sole dude of the elderly. so very much pushing this theme of advocating those who are less privilege in society. it's an 11-hour visit to assisi. pope francis is 76 years old but he clearly has the energy to carry it through.

zoraida? >> reporter: john and i were talking about the pope. we were talking about his humility and the impact he could already have being so much greater and so much larger than anyone envisioned. even president obama, this past week, talking about how impressed he is by this pope. >> reporter: well, in fact, observers are calling what he is doing at the moment is fall offensive, trying to push this message of advocating those who are less privileged. and he really isn't missing any opportunity. you know, under previous popes, we didn't have quite so much work covering popes, but pope francis definitely is keeping the media and the church very busy. >> that's interesting. that's an interesting perspective. he is certainly walking the walk and talking the talk. ben wedeman, thank you very much. >> humility is rare thing in life and public life even more. what he has been able to do is

focus so much attention in this area of the world that needs so much more attention. i'm not catholic and i'm impressed what he is able to do in a short period of time. >> i think a lot of people people feel that way and hope a lot of hope for the roman catholic church which has taken a lot of hits and is making a huge impact. >> i think he has already made an unbelievable impact. 16 minutes after the hour. police have identified a major suspect in the brutal beating and slashing of that suv driver here in new york city. he is believed to be the man seen here smashing in that window with the helmet. police say he could be in custody soon. on thursday, bikers came out in defense of another rider charged in the incident. >> if you look at the video, the man first at the suv telling him to "move over, stop." because you're driving erratically. that men ignored that.

and then he said let me slow down to see if i can slow this man down. that man did not slow down an ounce. he hit the bike. >> i don't think they are ever going to agree on this. the wife of the suv driver is defending her husband's action which left a biker paralyzed saying the bikers left them no choice and put his family in grave danger. >> dramatic dash cam video. shoot-out between a suspect and oregon state trooper during a traffic stop. the officer orders the suspect to get back in the car. look at this. he refuses and then that happens. >> i told you, you were speeding. [ bleep ] 5326, shots fired! shots fired! 5326 shots fired! >> oh, my gosh. so the trooper there was wounded. the suspect was killed in that

incident. >> that is awful. what is going on the roads right now? an incident of extreme road rage in connecticut now to tell you about. a doctor accused of firing a gun at another driver during a high speed confrontation. david kollar started taking this video. when the driver pulled up next to him, he saw the gun. >> i was scared. after the shot was fired, i'm like, okay, i'm not hit. i don't feel anything. i looked around in the vehicle thinking, you know, that had to hit somebody but i didn't see any bullet holes or anything. >> reporter: your heart must have been beating fast? >> yeah. it was a little crazy. >> the suspect dr. dobbins has pleaded not guilty and he is due in court for a preliminary hearing next week. police arrested a 22-year-old montana newlywed on thursday. they say she confessed to pushing her husband off of a cliff just eight days after their wedding.

jordan graham is called with first and second-degree murder and making a false statement to the police. graham is due in court for her arraignment later today. this is interesting. a new consequence if teen bullies. cut it out or face arrest. police in connecticut collar a 12-year-old for repeatedly bullying a 12-year-old friend. police say the alleged victim's parents came to them after their daughter talked of suicide. they say the only way to prevent further problems was to step in. they say the alleged bully is more likely to face anti-bullying classes than jail time. a criminal couple behind bars. police have charged the pair in a high priced heist and this happened in florida. the husband allegedly caught on tape fleeing the scene in a 200,000 astin martin. police say he left the mansion with more than 400,000 dollars in jewelry and cash. but not before leaving the woman of the housebound and gagged.

so the couple faces armed burglary and assault charges. the owner of the home is the male suspect's boss! >> wow. sounds like quite a crime. coming up, twitter causing the whole world to go a twitter. wall street abuzz and tech world abuzz about hits 1 million dollar ipo plan. how markets are reacting in day four. 77 hours and counting of the government shutdown. dad! dad! katy perry is coming to town. can we get tickets, pleeeeease??? tickets? hmm, sure. how many? well, there's hannah, maddie, jen, sara m., sara b., sa -- whoa, whoa. hold on.

determined to use her car as a weapon. what made this happen? joe johns is live in washington and following details for us. what is the latest, joe? >> reporter: john, the united states capitol police officer who was injured yesterday afternoon out here has now been relieved from the hospital, we are told. that 1-year-old child who was in the car with miriam carey throughout that crazy chase is said to be in good condition and in protective custody. the investigation continues into why all of this occurred. one member of congress who was briefed on the situation was raising questions last night about whether miriam carey had exhibited earlier signs of mental instability. though, authorities have not relieved any type of motive in this case. they do say they do not believe there are any nexus to terrorism that was found in this investigation, at least so far, john. >> joe, appreciate it. still a lot of questions about what happened down there. joe johns for us in washington this morning.

the latest fallout from the federal government shutdown. president obama canceling a scheduled trip to asia. instead, secretary kerry will lead the u.s. delegations for summit meetings in indonesia. we may see signs of movement from john boehner. he is telling fellow republican lawmakers he would be willing to pass the debt sealiceiling with democratic votes. >> would it be likely enough to keep the u.s. from going over that debt ceiling and could stop that crisis. whether it happens this week or next week, remains to be seen but could be a major development in this discussion. another major development is brewing off the gulf coast. tropical storm karen is gaining strength with an eye on that coast, maybe as soon as this weekend. it could make landfall as a hurricane. our indra petersons is live in pensacola this morning.

what is the latest, indra some. >> reporter: we are seeing some winds picking up in the area. overall, typical kind of morning here in the region. not typically because we still have a hurricane watch. all eyes on the gulf as karen makes its way closer. this is one of our first systems of this season that could impact the u.s. mainland. current stat. the latest stats just came out showed it about 5 miles per hour. regardless it is still expected to strengthen potentially into a cat one hurricane as it makes its way closer. landfall looking like late saturday into early sunday morning. the track does continue to push hit farther west and we will monitor portions pretty much from louisiana all the way to the panhandle of florida. now the biggest concerns here are going to continue to be heavy amounts of rainfall from 4 to 8 inches. isolated amounts up to 12 inches are still possible so that is a big concern out here. we are talking about storm surge and a couple of feet of that and the strong winds and the biggest thing i really want to point

out, remember, they are over for the amount of rainfall for this time of year. that is key. when the ground is saturated like that and you bring in the strong winds the likelihood of trees falling down will be much higher so that is a concern. if it did become a hurricane, this would be our third. only two so far this season. let's look at them. humberto stayed out to sea and ingrid hit the yucatan peninsula and no impact on the u.s. mainland. we have passed the peak portion of the season and looks like we are becoming activity and very familiar to what it looked like last year. one of the system in the middle of the country this huge snow maker. 1 to 2 feet of snow in through the dakotas today with blizzard conditions. so it's now exiting out of wyoming making its way into the dakotas there and even through portions of nebraska so blizzard conditions 60 to 70-mile-per-hour winds and potentially another foot of snow there and cold air up against

warm air and a threat of tornadoes from minnesota to oklahoma and moderate risk in iowa so a lot to keep our eye on today. >> that hurricane could be coming to the gulf coast this weekend, a lot of things to watch out for. you know we have these morning rhymes you do on twitter? i've got a couple of i wanted to share this morning. you love this one. he is forcing me to read this one. it is from at vin kim. does john berman get more handsome every morning? >> i do. thank you for noticing. >> i thought this was funny nischelle turner is weighing? . berman, did you get dropped on your head as a child? it will answer lots of questions. it doesn't rhyme but i loved it. >> it does not rhyme so we will not count that as a morning rhyme. thank you for noticing that i -- >> i had to call you out,
