proud no matter what happens. this one is for you, grandpa, denny. love the #discotime. >> it's nice to know it's warm somewhere. almost 60 in sochi. it's causing problems at the ski jump and women's downhill course. it's so warm the skiers are trying to keep cool. >> that's right. last night, team usa plenty cool, though, on the ice. american darlings, meryl davis, charlie white getting the highest score ever in ice dancing and so well deserved. couldn't take my eyes off it. >> settling into new team events. a lot of skating all weekend long. and tremendously so. russian president, vladimir putin, was taking things in at the rink. yulia lipnitskaya doing well. >> well done. >> the russian taking the games by storm. and then last night, making their rounds, toasting actually at the bars in the olympic venues which would be actually rather jarring, i think. >> again,#discotime.

let's get right to our "gma" olympic headquarters in sochi. amy robach at the olympics desk there. good morning to you, amy. >> good morning, it's so hot here. i gotta tell you. not to make you jealous. the games are off to a sizzling start for the americans. grabbing the first gold awarded in sochi to sage kotsenburg for the new olympic event, slopestyle. but guess what, he was not alone for long. >> gigantic 540. >> reporter: a thrilling try um ch for team usa overnight in sochi. american jamie andersson soaring to victory in slopestyle. her family and a very special neighbor beaming in the stands. >> kind of like my spirit grandma from tahoe, she said i made her cry. >> reporter: this just a day after american sage kotsenburg won gold on that very same course. >> it feels like a dream right now. >> reporter: the same treacherous course responsible for this heart-stopping moment.

hoffman, hitting loose snow took a spill and snapped his pole. this competitor finished in 35th place. he earned himself the top spot on team usa. now to the latest news. they are the hottest things on ice right now. the u.s. women's hockey team. they scorched the swiss this morning with an avalanche of goal. nine of them in a shootout. next up a game against canada tomorrow. this may be too cool. the all-out war in curling. it's not just for medals, it's for fashion. norway curlers have a sense of humor along with a sense of style, or lack thereof. take a look at these fashions. first stripes. now florals. russia has entered the fancy pants competition with something psycadelic. we'll have to see if norway responds and takes their pants to the next level when they compete later today against the united states. if they can do that, i'm not sure they can do that. >> did she really say that? >> how exciting she made pants. >> i know. >> thank you, amy.

>> all the athletes i'm running into at the main press centre, they're saying things are going well. they love the village, the mountains. the mountain resort. they've been raving about. i think you see the kotsenburg results. sage kotsenburg. not ever expected to win a gold. we pull gold out of that for team usa. with five medals, sitting in second place, i think they're in a good spot right now. >> and five medal events today. julie foudy, we'll check in with you from time to time over the next few weeks. thank you so much. enjoy your day. >> thanks, robin. >> we have a lot more olympics coming up. first, big terror news breaking overnight. the u.s. government is warning american citizens not to fly caribbean airlines because of threat information about flights into the u.s. today. abc's chief investigative coorespondent, brian ross, has more. this is a specific warning. >> it is. it's stark and unprecedented. to americans to avoid this specific airline starting today until at least wednesday because

of a terror threat unconfirmed but troubling enough to warrant this unusual arrest. caribbean airline flies from guyana into new york, miami. orlando, ft. lawsuiter dale. u.s. officials have been worried about terror links in guyana. it is the home country of one of the most wanted terrorists who grew up in florida and new york is believed to be the most active u.s. person plotting against american citizens. >> and on that point, brian, there's an a.p. report overnight that u.s. officials have identified an american member of al qaeda overseas actively planning attacks. they're trying to debate on whether or not to have a drone strike against this american. we don't know who this is right now. >> not identified by the associated press. they say there's a debate within the obama administration about the president's new stricter policy about attacking u.s. citizens with drone strikes. at this point the department of justice says it has no comment on that a.p. report. >> it would have to be done by the pentagon, not the cia.

some other restrictions as well. >> that's right. >> thank you, brian. let's get the other top stories from josh. all right, george. we will begin here with nearly two dozen avalanche reports out west. in utah, a young college student was snow-shoeing and was buried under the snow for 40 minutes. she died later at the hospital. in a separate avalanche, a snowmobiler was also killed. while on the roads this morning, the big concern is ice. drivers in portland, oregon, are on high alert. they triggered mud slides and uprooted trees. in the whole of the west, in california and nevada as well. and today, atlanta and the deep south are bracing for more snow and ice. ginger will have her complete forecast in moments. meanwhile, not the weather but an alleged drunk driver that caused this shocking wrong-way crash near los angeles. six people were killed in the accident. hours earlier, another terrifying wrong-way crash caught on this cell phone camera in florida. look at this. five people died, including four college students, died in that

back in november, a local transportation official also gunned down in his home. no forcible entry. and the other case, way back ten years ago. the real estate agent, the wife of the sheriff, also gunned down. and look at this, all three killings involved in the community, all within two miles of each other. police are looking for connections saying there are obvious links that are similar. so could this be a serial killer? >> if this is one person, they can go dormant before they reactivate. is it conceivable that the same guy did all three of these? the answer is yes. >> reporter: for a tight-knit community, worry this morning. and even the major says they have a right to be concerned. >> reporter: what are they doing? police say there has been a surge of residents calling locksmiths, hoping to get peepholes installed in their doors. doors now locked as police look for this bearded and balding man. that sketch has produce what had

police are calling an enormous number of tips. in fact, yesterday, in downtown, d.c., a man was questioned but not taken into custody. police will be back in this neighborhood later this morning with the sketch, talking to neighbors. robin? >> hopefully, someone has seen something. it's so frightening there. >> it sure is. the groundbreaking news for the nfl. likely to have its first openly gay player in the history of the league. that is because michael sam, you see him right there, an all-american at the university of missouri, came out yesterday. in interviews with espn's "outside the lines" and new york times. chris connelly is here today. michael sam expected to be picked high up in the draft. >> that's right, george. between the third and the fifth round, say our experts. he led his team to a cotton bowl victory. and now michael sam is leading the way to a landmark moment in american sports, thanks to the news he shared with me on sunday. >> i came to tell the world that i'm an openly proud gay man. >> reporter: historic words. for michael sam, as this 24-year-old, all-american

one. >> reporter: have you thought about what this announcement will mean to players right now in grade school or high school or college, afraid to make the kind of statement you're making today? >> they shouldn't be afraid of who they are. you call me a pioneer. that's good and great but, i'm a -- i'm a football player. i'm michael sam. a college graduate. i'm african-american. and i'm gay. >> last week on the phone, michael came out to his mother and father. they told him they love him and they support him. george? >> what a story. he's a great, great player. >> that's all that matters to the family. >> also the fact that he came out to his team before the season started. had a terrific year. they voted him mvp. the support he's receiving. >> it's great. >> we'll see how he does in the draft. >> i hope the world that he is entering is ready for him. and those 32 front offices as well. but what a brave young man. >> people are going to be watching the draft. >> yeah. >> it's close. hey, ginger zee. this winter storm. what? what? really. >> again, i know, a dozen state

and dunn's fiance took the stand as a witness for the prosecution. abc's ryan owens has the latest. >> what did the defendant say? >> oh, i hate that thug music. >> reporter: they are the last words she says she heard her e fiance michael dunn say the night he opened fire on an suv full of teenagers. killing one of them allegedly over loud rap music. rhonda royer crying and shaking uncontrollably on the stand told jurors she got out of dunn's car and walked into this jacksonville, florida, gas station. that's her at the counter when she heard gunshots. [ gunfire ] >> oh, my god, somebody is shooting. >> i heard pop, pop, pop. >> reporter: she says she ran outside and dunn told her to get back in the car. >> did you see a firearm at that point in time? >> yes, michael was putting it into the glove box. >> reporter: she told the jury that michael dunn had three or four cocktails at his son's

wedding before they stopped at the store for a bottle of wine that november night in 2012. prosecutors say he fired ten times, murdering 17-year-old jordan davis. >> like vigilantism. it's not just about jordan. >> reporter: what also outrages the victim's family. after the shooting, dunn and his fiance went back to their hotel room and ordered drinks and pizza. royer testified it was her idea to go back to the hotel room without telling anybody what happened. after seeing reports of the teenager's death on the news. >> why did you decide you needed to go home? >> because i thought i was going to be arrested, too. >> reporter: dunn has pleaded not guilty and maintains it was self-defense under florida's controversial stand your ground law. even though no weapons were found in the teen's car, here is what dunn told investigators after he was arrested. >> it was either a barrel or a stick, but, sir, they're --

they're like -- we're going to kill you. >> reporter: for "good morning america," ryan owens, abc news, jacksonville, florida. >> let's get more on this from nancy grace. nancy grace on hln. that is tough testimony from the fiance. >> very, very tough testimony. because she, regina royer, was called for the state. you would think she would be sympathetic to her fiance, michael dunn. but the truth is the truth. she painted it in as best terms as she could, but still it was very damaging to him. and not only that, she became very emotional on the stand. i found it interesting that the defense is the one that filed objections to what michael dunn told her. they did not want the jury to hear dunn's statements as he fled away from that gas station to a bed and breakfast that night. a lot of emphasis will be placed in closing arguments on the fact that he could dial for pizza --

and it wasn't a chain. he had to look up a local pizza parlor for delivery. but they couldn't call 911. so that's going to be a big issue in closing argument. >> and now that the fiance has testified. dan abrams said he thought michael dunn will likely have to testify. do you agree? >> well, zimmerman didn't take the stand. here's the difference between this one and zimmerman. george zimmerman who gunned down trayvon martin. at least he had a band aid. he did have one band aid on the back of his head. this guy is in his car shooting at another car. another thing the defense will try to bring up, in this case, the alleged perpetrator, michael dunn, is claiming he saw a stick or a pipe or long gun, a shotgun, in the car of the victim, the red durango. when police looked in the car, they found nothing. how does the defense get out of

that box? they're going to argue to the jury that three or four days passed, four to be specific, before police searched in dumpsters and bushes. they're going to argue that the teens had time to get rid of the gun. but no gun was ever found. >> and that is key. thanks very much, nancy grace. now to the college basketball star suspended for three games for pushing a fan over the weekend. the confrontation ending in mutual apologies and maybe lessons for us all. mara schiavocampo has the story. >> reporter: it was a foul that happened off the court. oklahoma state's all-american guard, marcus smart, shoofing a fan with two hands after a brief argument in the final seconds on saturday's game against texas tech. sunday, the big 12 suspended smart for three games. >> this is not me. let me apologize for it. i said i take responsibility and the consequences that come with it. >> reporter: big 12 officials say smart engaged in quote

inappropriate conduct with a spectator. >> that's disgusting behavior. >> i let my emotions get the best of me. i just can't let that happen again. >> reporter: but some claim the man he pushed behaved inappropriately as well. texas tech grad jeff orr has been hailed by the university as a red raiders fan extraordinary. traveling to 31 states over the years to see the team play. he's known for taunting players, as seen in this 2010 game against texas a&m. as for this weekend's dust up, smart claims he pushed orr after hearing him use a racial slur. in a statement, he admits calling smart a piece of crap, but says, i did not use a racial slur of any kind. now, it's not just smart who will be sitting out. superfan orr has agreed not to attend any texas tech games for the rest of the season. two hot tempers given a little time to cool off. for "good morning america," mara
