let's get right to that fox news alert. blade runner oscar pistorius convicted just moments ago of culpable homicide, also known as manslaughter. >> let's get right to greg palkot, live outside of the courthouse in south africa. greg, what is the latest? >> reporter: ainsley and heather, we were just in the courtroom behind me right now and heard the news, global sporting icon, blade runner oscar pistorius found guilty of, we call it manslaughter, they call it here culpable homicide, and he stands ready to face a possible sentence of 15 years in jail, this for the killing on valentine's day morning last year of his girlfriend, reeva steenka steenkamp. he was also found guilty of one firearm charge, and that stands with that a sentence of five years. this is how the judge read out the sentence to oscar pistorius just a few minutes ago. take a listen.

>> on count 1, read with section 51.1 of the criminal law amendment s-105 of 1997, the accused is found not guilty and is discharged. instead, he is found guilty of culpable homicide. >> reporter: as you heard there, he was found not guilty of premeditated murder, and that is why when he heard those words, he was stoic, but he was happy. that carried with it a sentence of a possible lifetime in prison. when there was a break just a few minutes later, the family of oscar pistorius went up, greeted him, hugged him, and then they gathered in a circle in prayer. the family of reeva steenkamp, the victim in all this, were very sad. the mother was crying.

it's not over yet, folks. in about two weeks' time, there will be another hearing. that is for the sentencing. and the sentence, as we've said, could be as much as 15 years in jail for pistorius, or he could walk. he could be allowed not to serve any time at all. and then there could be a possible appeal. one final note. i spoke to oscar pistorius very briefly as he was going into the courtroom. i asked him how he was doing. he said, "very well, sir." i'm told that that was the first positive thing he said to the stress in a very long time. maybe he had reason to say that. back to you. >> greg palkot live in south africa for us. thank you, greg. is oscar pistorius getting away with murder or do you agree with the judge? logon to the "fox & friends first" facebook page after the show for a live debate, #keeptalking. a fox news alert overnight. a convicted high school shooter recaptured after breaking out of

a lima, ohio, prison. 19-year-old t.j. lane was found at a nearby farm armed with a pitchfork. another inmate was with him. lane convicted last year in the 2012 shooting spree at a suburban cleveland high school where he gunned down three students. at the sentencing, look at this, he wore a t-shirt with the word "killer" on it, and he apparently cursed out the judge, who handed down three life sentences. a third inmate, 45-year-old clifford operud is still on the run. prison officials aren't saying how they managed to escape. casting more doubt on nfl commissioner roger goodell's version of the ray rice scandal. multiple sources saying rice told the commissioner he punched his fiancee three months ago, contradicting the running back's claims. he was cut by the ravens and suspended after new video of the elevator incident was released. some fans showing up in full force at the ravens/steelers game in baltimore, saying

they're sticking by rice, despite his mistakes. >> i still think he's a good person who made one big mistake. >> there's going to be speculations always, but you can't go -- you can't tell what happened in their relationship. >> cbs making some last-minute changes to their pregame show over the ray rice scandal. the network pulling a performance from rihanna. the pop star a prominent survivor of domestic violence herself. the ravens beat the steelers last night 26-6. the murder of an american teenager by a jihadist more evidence that home-grown terrorism is alive in america. the suspect, ali mohammed brown, saying that the killing was revenge for u.s. military involvement in the middle east. brown is accused of gunning down 19-year-old brendan tevlin in june while stopped at an intersection in new jersey. brown claims he's a devout muslim angry at the u.s. government's role in afghanistan, iraq and iran, saying, "all these lives are taken every single day by

america, by this government. so, a life for a life." the united states has a plan to deal with isis, and now it must execute. president obama authorizing air strikes on isis leadership as we learn the true size of the terror group's forces. for the latest, leland vittert is live in washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, ainsl ainsley. the latest cia estimates shocked folks. 20,000 to 30,000 or even more is the latest number from the agency and it certainly has a lot of folks in washington saying how did this change? the agency cites better intelligence on their part. they initially said it was 10,000 there who had sworn allegiance to isis. in large part, they say new battlefield successes is gleaning a lot more folks there, trying to join up in the fight against isis. and also, the fight against isis leadership has proved elusive, especially when going after this guy, the isis leader himself, who has done an amazing job of

staying clear of any kind of u.s. strikes. u.s. plan for air strikes only is also begging more questions and answers on capitol hill. >> an f-16 is not a strategy, and air strikes alone will not accomplish what we're trying to accomplish. and the president's made clear that he doesn't want u.s. boots on the ground. well, somebody's boots have to be on the ground. >> former cia director general michael hayden also added to boehner's warning, warning air strikes alone may not be enough to destroy isis. hayden told "u.s. news & world report," "the reliance on airpower has all the attraction of casual sex. it seems to offer gratification but with very little commitment." we tired general john allen opposed the original pullout of iraq and has now answered the fwoel coordinate the 40 or so countries who say they support the american-led action against isis. but secretary kerry right now is

traveling the region. his sales job for the obama strategy's proving difficult, especially when trying to find countries willing to sign up to participate actually in military action. nato ally turkey hasn't signed on to the fight against isis. germany says they're out as well. the saudis so far say they will only train rebel troops. and the uk, of course, historically a lockstep ally with the united states, says joining for air strikes is, well, a definite maybe. heather? >> leland vittert live for us. thank you. secretary of state john kerry says the united states is not at war with isis. instead, secretary kerry insists on calling it something else. >> we're engaged in a major counterterrorism operation. >> not a war. >> and it's going to be a long-term counterterrorism operation. i think war's the wrong terminology and analogy. i don't think people need to get into war fever on this. >> and we have heard all of this from his department before. shortly after the murder of

steven sotloff. >> i'm not going to put new labels on it, james. i would say we'd certainly consider this act, this reported act, the act of the killing of james foley as a horrific terrorist act. i'm not going to, again, put new labels on it. i think it's clear that we are concerned about the threat of isil to western interests, to interests in the region. >> secretary kerry's comments come one day after president obama said the u.s. will "degrade and ultimately destroy" isis. and that brings us to our look at who is talking. and senator john mccain is calling out john kerry for refusing to say that the u.s. is at war with isis. >> it's hard to find a response for that. then what was the president talking about last night? then, if they're just a counterterrorism organization, then we just want to contain them, because if you can contain terrorist organizations, then you don't have to worry about

them. i thought the president said last night that he wanted to defeat them. this is just like john kerry, when he's president said he's going to attack syria in response to the chemical weapons issue and said -- john kerry, the exact words -- that the attack would be "unbelievably small." this is john kerry, vintage. wicked weather ripping through parts of the south and the midwest, dumping several inches of rain within hours. >> in memphis, tennessee, the flooding trapping dozens of people in cars and homes. fire crews rescuing one woman from the rising waters. and the roof of a memphis shopping mall caved in. no one was hurt, though. in northeast ohio, a possible tornado touched down, tearing down trees and ripping the roof off that house. at least one house. no one was injured. and following behind the storms, an early september snowstorm. >> what? >> that's right, yes. 8 inches, ainsley, falling in black hills.

serious military exertion, there's going to be a serious one, it will be a costly one and it will be a long one, you can't play around with language and pretend it is something else. cooler temperatures creeping into parts of the nation. looking forward to this. >> some places even dipping down into the 30s! >> mm-hmm. >> maria is in the weather center with our weekend forecast. >> hey, heather and ainsley. that's right. take a look at temperatures across portions of the upper midwest and also into the northern rockies, in missoula and also in denver. you're looking at a current temperature at just 34 degrees. it's 33 in rapid city, and we did have snow as well. several inches of accumulation across western parts of south dakota. so, really starting to feel a little bit more like winter just bypassing fall out there across parts of the northern plains and the rockies. but ahead of this frontal system, it's still relatively warm. you're waking up to temperatures in the 70s from the southeast through parts of texas. and later on this afternoon,
