>> you can see the investigators are still collecting evidence here. we're told more charges are pending. all three police officers are now recovering from nonlife threatening injuries. >> oh, man, it was -- it was wi suspect sleeping in the hallway and called police. when an officer approached -- >> within a matter of seconds, the suspect fired on him. he had his vest on and he was hitting in his vest so that saved him. >> rahami fled on foot with gun in hand and on her officers in hot pursuit. >> you heard pop, pop,.pop, pop, a lot of shots. >> the injured rahami lying on the ground brought down by law enforcement less than 48 hours

new jersey board walk and this powerful blast that rocked a manhattan neighborhood. the next night, five pipe bombs were found at this new jersey police station. as police tried to disarm them, surveillance cameras spotted rahami planting the bomb in new york city friday night and later caught him at a second location where this bomb was recovered. he worked at his family restaurant, american fried chicken, beneath the second floor apartment. the fbi found more explosive devices when they searched the apartme apartment. investigators are now looking into the suspect's background and his travel history, including his visit to afghanistan two years ago to help zero in on a motive and to see if he truly acted alone. >> thank you. all devices discovered over two days in a 60 mile stretch from manhattan to the jersey shore. >> investigators are trying to figure out with whether just one

special agent fbi in charge and an abc contributor steve gomez is joining us on the phone. and, steve, officials currently say they are confident this guy acted alone, but, you know, for some time, they were thinking there were other people that might have been involved. what are we learning right now about this case? >> caller: well, you would think that there will be somebody else involved talking about four devices, two locations, two states. that's sophisticated. that's a lot of work going into it. the idea that he's a lone wolf attacker is -- it's kind of -- it's hard to believe, but i mean, that's the operating theory they are going off of right now, but they are going to be digging into a lot of the guy's background. talking to the family, friends, neighbors, and so on. they are not going to leave any stone unturned because bottom line is, you can't let somebody else be out there whether they were helping him develop the devices that exploded, whether

financial support or whatever it was. you have to figure out if there was somebody else involved. >> steve, that's a big question with cases like this. is someone else involved? of course, are there more devices? what goes into answering that? >> caller: well, it looks like when they conducted the search, they found more explosive items and devices and so on, so that's good. they were able to find that. they will be doing other searches as well, i'm sure, trying to canvas any location this guy had any contact with. so finding additional explosive material, that's going to be very important, and, you know, start with the analysis that's being done on the devices that exploded as well as the one they were able to recover before they went off because the footprint of those devices and material, traced back to where they acquired it, and that might be lead to additional clues. >> you have this incident over the weekend, the stabbing in minnesota, injuring some ten

course, the 15th anniversary of 9/11. any idea that there might have been a timing issue where all of these attacks that took place? >> caller: well, if you notice, you know, i track this, you know, quite regularly. we talk quite a bit when an incident like this happens, and we have not had an incident like this in a while. i mean, several weeks, and we were having one every week, sometimes twice a week, so you almost wonder, was there a dry spell, and then there was some kind of online communications going on from either isis or al qaeda, you know, probably isis, or just some kind of communication from somewhere to basically say, lay low for a while. you know, the world's getting hit. you know, every week. and now, all the sudden, we have four devices, the minnesota attack which was gruesome, and just something had to have happen. you can't rule out any

said that encrypted communications are used. it's harder for the bureau to track that. >> all right. abc news contributor, steve gomez, we'd love to talk longer, but we appreciate it. talking political ramifications of this, the wake of the attacks, donald trump's repeated calls for profiles, and hillary clinton casts herself with the only candidate to take on terrorists. >> a new poll on who americans clinton at 48%, and trump 45%. a virtual tie. who would be the better commander in chief? it's 50% for clinton and 45% for trump. again, a virtual tie. your voice, your vote. tom llamas is on the campaign trail with more. >> reporter: donald trump predicting cushy treatment for the suspect in the bomb attack.

accused of all sorts of things. do we have a choice? >> reporter: when the bomb went off saturday night, hillary clinton addressed reporters on her plane and calling it a bombing before officials did. >> i think it's always wiser to white until you have information before making conclusions. >> reporter: clinton saying trump's words are a tool for isis. >> the kind of words and rhetoric trump uses gives aide >> reporter: returning to the issue of temperament. >> this is a fast moving situation and sobering reminder we need steady leadership in a unsteady world. >> reporter: released the topics for the first presidential debate, america's direction, achieving prosperity, and securing america. we know that hillary clinton is deep in her debate prep.
