pitbull, on the moment he shot his girlfriend. >> i couldn't pick reeva up. i was struggling to pick her up. >> and new video, just shown, on the shooting range. and and the royal crawl. prince george in his first official play date. and, baby, he's ahead. with almost everyone, except this girl. she started crying, and he just wanted to hold her hand. and good morning to our viewers on the west coast. we have three major stories developing right now with new information for the pacific time zone. that big new break through in the intense height for the flight 370's black boxes. but have to find them before the batterying die. >> every minute counts i right now. >> we have the latest of oscar pistorius under savage cross-examination right now. let's get to the breaking story. mass stabbing outside of pittsburgh. paul la ferris is tracking the
7:02 am
latest. pahl paula. >> that suspect is in custody but not before stabbing 20 people at an pennsylvania high school. >> here's the aerial photo showing buses lined up and students evacuating. >> the attack handed around 7:00 eastern before classes started at franklin high school located just east of pittsburgh which is home to 1200 students. eye witness reports saying that lone suspect, a student at franklin high, was running around stabbing people, and there was crying and screaming in the hallways. >> i was just talking to my friend who said he just saw him running with a knife, and they -- then he turned the corner and there was some kids like holding their stomach with blood everywhere, the whole science wing was just chaotic and crazy. >> reporter: frantic parents were told to wait at home. >> it's important that parents
7:03 am
realize that the scene is contained. your students there that are is safe. >> she was crying and told me to get down here now, either my wife or i, to get down here and get her right away. i don't think no parent could prepare for anything like this. the words can't describe how i felt at the time when he called. >> reporter: investigators are looking at the lone motive. was it targeted or random. we're told they are not just students, ages ranging 16 to 60. many heroic stories coming out. abc news learned that one female student saved another student's live at the scene by applying pressure to her wound. george? thank you, paula. the latest on the ping songs.
7:04 am
david kerley has the latest. david? >> searchers still want to see wreckage but this is big news. the two last pings were seen to the south of the search area. number two and number four. the other two pings were heard on saturday. but searchers want more detections and here's why. they want to get down to a couple of grid squares before they start the critical underwater search. less than 24 hours ago, a ping. the fourth, heard by this ship, consistent with an aircraft black box. >> i'm optimistic that we will find the aircraft or what is left of the aircraft, in the not too distant future. >> reporter: but exactly where the wreckage is remains a mystery. there's a 16-mile separation between two of these pings. the more they get, the more precise they can be before sending this robot into the water. the bluefin-21 will map the bottom, looking for wreckage. and with all of this new information, planes will now narrow their search of the surface for debris.
7:05 am
searchers want to see something before they say they found malaysian flight 370. >> we need to visually identify aircraft wreckage, before we can confirm, with certainty, that this is the final resting place of mh-370. >> reporter: that resting place is very deep. watch this. traveling below the surface at 1,700 feet, we would pass the world trade center. sperm whales don't live below 3,200 feet. the "titanic" was found at 12,600 feet. and the bluefin-21 is right at its limits where the black box pingers may be, at nearly 15,000 feet under the water. all that is the reason they are racing to hear more pings. more information before the batteries die to narrow the area to look for the remains of the 777. >> i'd say we're getting more confident we found the haystack. >> reporter: so, the drama continues to try to narrow this field even more. that last ping detected, number
7:06 am
four here, was a weak signal. leaving the head of the search area to believe the batteries are going. but they appear to be on the wreckage this morning. george? david kerley, thanks very much. >> we want to move to breaking head lines in the oscar pistorius trial. he's on the stand undergoing a brutal examination. matt gutman in pretoria, strike. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, lara. it was a ruthless croak this morning, unlike anything we've ever seen here. the prosecution, tearing into pistorius. forcing him to view images so graphic that people in the courtroom had to avert their gaze. demanding, again, and again, that he take responsibility for killing his girlfriend. >> i made a mistake. >> you killed reeva steenkamp. that's what you did. >> reporter: within seconds this morning, the lead prosecutor, putting pistorius on the ropes. >> what was your mistake? >> my mistake was that i took reeva's life.
7:07 am
>> reporter: this morning, pistorius seemed more composed, after disintegrating into wailing sobs tuesday. the judge even walking out. >> reporter: prosecutor gerrie nel, known as the pit bull here, smelling blood. attacking. >> say, yes. i shot and killed reeva steenkamp. >> i did, my lady. >> reporter: shooting his girlfriend on valentine's day last year. earlier, describing the horror of finding her there. >> and then i just sat there and waited for the ambulance to arrive. and -- i had my fingers in her mouth to help her try breathe. >> reporter: but she would die in his arms. >> reeva had already died whilst i was holding her. before the ambulance arrived. so, i knew there was nothing that they could do for her. >> reporter: and just minutes earlier, we heard pistorius announce for the first time. >> i did not intent to kill
7:08 am
riva my lady or anybody else. >> reporter: despite firing four exploding bullets into a tiny bathroom cubical, at a person he said he thought was an intruder. coming up, we'll show you the video and the questions that triggered a shouting match in court. a moment so raw, that it drew an outburst from pistorius. images so graphic, that the judge had to put an end to it. lara? >> all right. thank you, matt. we will have much more from the trial coming up. right now let's go to amy with the other top developing stories this morning. amy. >> we begin with a disturbing scene, a riot overnight at a spring festival at iowa state university. students flipping over cars and blocking streets and pushing down a light pole. some were seriously injured when the pole came crashing down. police with riot gear prepare today fire pepper spray. also breaking overnight. another shooting on a military base. this time at cramp lejeune in
7:09 am
north carolina. a marine guard opening fire on another guard at the main gate. the alleged shooter is in custody. and military officials were quick to rule out terrorism. a warning for anyone, everyone, on the internet right now. change your passwords. a new bug has infected about two-thirds of all major websites. it's called the heartbleed bug. and it allows hackers to steal your personal data. most popular websites have installed a security patch. but you have to change your password to protect your information. and overnight, toyota has issued one of the biggest recalls ever. 6 million vehicles worldwide. among them older model yaris, rav 4 and corollas for steering and air bag issues. toyota has not confirmed any crashes or injuries yet from those problems. a heart-stopping close call for this police officer in oklahoma. nearly plowed down by a driver who was -- texting behind the wheel. the officer was on a routine traffic stop when he looked up.
7:10 am
and thankfully, look at him, jumped out of the way, just in the nick of time. oh. he was not injured. a new record at the supermarkets this morning. beef prices have skyrocketed to a record $5.28 per pound because of the drought and other extreme weather. prices were under $4 not that long ago. and a mysterious pig virus is pushing the price of pork higher, about 10%, causing a concern about a looming bacon shortage. finally, the men are champions. and now, the ladies are, too. the uconn huskies capped off their undefeated season by roaring past the fighting irish of notre dame, 79-58. winning their second straight national title. it is the second time both the men and women of uconn have won championships in the same season. they did it back in 2004, as well. uconn is now 13-0, in title games. and the ladies have won a record nine of them. these are incredible statistics.
7:11 am
we know that coach geno auriemma, has more title victories than pat summitt. >> wow. >> yeah. incredible stuff. >> good to be a husky. >> the finals at the university. >> unbelievable. >> the first time in ten years. amazing. >> congratulations. >> congratulations. >> both teams. we want to get to the new developments on that congressman caught kissing a staffer on camera. this morning, the staffer is out of a job. and the congressman's office may be asking the fbi to launch an investigation into who leaked the tape. abc's jeff zeleny has the story. >> reporter: this morning, congressman vance mcallister under fire. and firing back. after this surveillance video surfaced, showing the married louisiana republican kissing a married scheduler in his office. overnight, aides to the congressman telling abc news, they may ask the fbi to investigate how the video was leaked. >> good morning. >> reporter: republican leaders, keeping their distance. >> the american people deserve all of their representatives here in washington to hold to a
7:12 am
very high standard of behavior and conduct. >> reporter: as for the scheduler, melissa peacock, seen here in the congressman's arms, she's resigned. melissa's husband, keith, speaking out for the first time about that kiss. keith peacock, a long-time family friend who donated over $5,000 to the mcallister campaign, told "inside edition" he is devastated that the congressman ruined his life. peacock added, mcallister is about the most nonreligious person i know. but the congressman is begging forgiveness and vowing to run for re-election in november. though he's not shown up to vote this week. we stop by his office tuesday, but we were told he wasn't around. after running to promote christian values -- >> i believe values like faith, family and hard work, are sorely missing in washington, d.c. >> reporter: he told us when he arrived here nearly five months ago, he was focused on working, not playing hard. >> we're up here to work, not to
7:13 am
cook and socialize, but it seems like there's a lot of that that goes on. >> reporter: now, mcallister could face an ethics investigation because the woman he was kissing worked in his office. while the congressman is trying to figure out who leaked this videotape, politically speaking, it may not matter. these families were long-time friends. so, in addition to the scandal unfolding here in washington, there is a family drama in louisiana that's even more painful and complicated. lara? >> i'll say. jeff, thank you very much. we're going to turn, now, to a serious medical threat for one of the world's top athletes. superstar ian thorpe is battling an infection that could end his career and even cost him his arm. paula faris with details. thorpe said he got this infection in the hospital. >> reporter: it's stunning how he contracted that infection. ian thorpe is in a hospital this morning receiving, what we're told is the best care possible. but even that might not be enough to prevent the former swimming champion from losing what he loves the most. he's one of michael phelps' biggest rivals with five olympic
7:14 am
gold medals and 22 world records. >> the hardest-working athletes in the sport. >> reporter: this morning, ian thorpe's future as a competitive swimmer could be sinking. >> thorpe takes the semifinal. >> reporter: the swimming legend is being treated in his native australia for a dangerous infection. some media reports say the disease is similar to the potentially deadly mrsa infection. and that it's so bad, he might risk losing use of his left arm. >> always intend to get back in the pool. >> reporter: james erskine telling the australian associated press that the former champion is quite sick with a serious, but not life-threatening condition, that he contacted it at the hospital after a series of shoulder surgeries. >> hospitals are dangerous places. that's where the bad bugs live. 1 in 25 people that go into the hospital will pick up an infection. a lot from surgery. >> reporter: thorpe is a hero in his native australia, where swimming is a national sport. and the press follows his every move.
7:15 am
>> he is michael phelps. he is michael jordan. he's the biggest deal in australian sports. >> reporter: this is the latest setback for a man who has been treading water since 2006. he failed in his attempt for a comeback at the 2012 london olympics and early this year, was treated for depression at a rehab facility. >> ian thorpe, this olympic god. how sad that he's fighting this. he's dealing with this infection. that he's in a hospital bed. he's gone through a lot. >> reporter: an irony that could knock this swimming great out of the water for good. now, his management team tells us he remains in good spirits, considering the circumstances. and hopes to be back on his feet soon. but you heard dr. besser say, that's where the bad bugs live, in these hospitals. >> paula, thanks very much. >> i'm wishing him the best. i do need to switch gears here. we have an important question for all of you. who invented the locos tacos?
7:16 am
taco bell's wildly popular taco wrapped in a door receia dorito. this morning, a group of former interns are saying, not your idea, taco bell. they say they did it and they have proof. gio benitez is on the case. >> good morning, lara. the ex-interns say even the finger-licking flavors were their ideas. their jaws dropped when the campaign expanded, commercials everywhere and cash, too. it's that crunchy concoction. taco bell's doritos locos taco. with sales over $1 billion in its record-breaking 2012 launch. it's even become a pop culture sensation. >> this miracle product might be our way out of our global financial meltdown. >> reporter: but this morning, a group of ex-advertising interns telling taco bell, the dorito shell taco is not yo idea. >> the idea was to come up with a product. and ours was the dorito taco. >> reporter: here's the photo taken nearly 20 years ago. the then-interns holding the
7:17 am
ad for the doritos taco, an idea they say was from a 1995 competition when they were interning for taco bell's ad agency. >> it's funny to see that it did take off. >> reporter: the ex-interns say these were their original promotional materials. and, check out the flavors. cool ranch and nacho cheese. the same two flavors you can buy today. the irony? >> we ended up not winning. >> i remember a dramatic positive reaction. >> reporter: it's not the first time someone has accused taco bell of stealing the doritos locos idea. in may, a federal prison inmate sued taco bell, claiming the taco was his idea. the case was dismissed. taco bell tells abc news in a statement, from interns to inmates, we've had no shortage of people claiming the idea of a doritos flavored taco. but taco bell insists it was conceived, developed and successfully brought to market by frito lay and taco bell.
7:18 am
>> which one will you love the most? >> reporter: which one? by the way, the interns say they are not suing, and they don't want any money, just a little recognition. so, we asked you on facebook, if the former interns should get credit for their idea. lots of reaction from you overnight. here's what mary had to say. they should receive acknowledgment as well as a nice little check. and by the way, a lot of people on facebook were also saying, technically, these interns were on the job. so, sorry, guys. >> i'm glad we're giving them the acknowledgment. those posters said it all from 20 years ago. >> they're not asking for some big amount of money, too. i like that. >> it is. >> very believable that college kids might invent some idea of nachos with door receipt toes. >> cool ranch. now, weather from ginger. >> maybe not a check. but maybe at least the tacos for life. we can give them that. right? let's get to the forecast. in the deep south, it was not pretty. hail in louisiana.

7:32 am
skewering the blade runner. showing video of him blasting away at watermelons. prosecutor gerrie nel, known as the pit bull, ruthlessly going for the jugular. >> that's the exact same effect of the bullet that went into her head. >> reporter: images so graphic, we had to blur it. >> what i saw -- >> reporter: gasps in court. reeva steenkamp's mother, unable to look. finally, the judge putting an end to the torture. >> can you just remove this from the screen? >> yes. >> reporter: minutes earlier, nel began his cross-examination blasting away. >> i made a mistake. >> you killed reeva steenkamp, that's what you did. say, yes, i shot and killed reeva steenkamp. >> i did, my lady. >> reporter: but five minutes elapsed before he finally broke the door down to find her bleeding out. then the harrowing moment of horror.
7:33 am
>> i could see her arm was broken. and i was pulling her into the bathroom. >> reporter: oscar pistorius describing the slippery, bloody scene in the bathroom. on his prosthetics, he called for help. >> i asked him for help, to help me come and help. i couldn't pick reeva up. i was struggling to pick her up. >> reporter: trying to resuscitate her. and then i just sat there and i waited for the ambulance to arrive. i felt helpless. i wanted to take her to the hospital. i had my fingers in her mouth to try to help her breathe. i had my hand on her hip. i was trying to stop the bleeding. >> reporter: but all was lost. george, we expect this onslaught to continue, possibly, for days. so far, the prosecution has been probing for pistorius' emotional weak points. next, to dissect his story. why did he shoot four bullets into that door if he didn't intend to kill? why wait five minutes before battering down the door? and why didn't he make sure his girlfriend was safe before pulling that trigger? george? >> a lot of tough questions to come. let's go to our league team now.
7:34 am
abc's dan abrams and nancy grace. host of "nancy grace" on hln. nancy, you're a former prosecutor. is it possible for a prosecutor to be too tough? >> absolutely. there are several techniques you can take. you can get the same effect -- the same result, anyway, by a more delicate cross-examination. on the other hand, sometimes you have to go for the jugular. and i think this is the prosecution's thinking. this judge has been extremely solicitous to pistorius throughout the trial. i'm not saying that's wrong or right. but i can guarantee you in an american court of law, you gun down your girlfriend and you cry on the stand, we're not adjourning for the day for you to cry. okay? that's what they're doing there. again, not judging. and i think at this point, the prosecution has taken the gloves off. another thing he's doing, other than showing her in death on the screen, is he's gone back to pistorius' bail statement. and i think he's going to catch pistorius in inconsistencies
7:35 am
about the night of the shooting. >> that's the key to the case. right? i mean, the inconsistencies are much more important than the tone. but you asked the question about the prosecutor's tone. that also can be asked of pistorius as well. can you cry too much on the witness stand? and i think both those questions are valid questions. >> you're right. >> number one, the prosecutor has to be careful not to want the judge or the assessors to feel sorry for pistorius. on the other hand, pistorius has to be careful here, that if he's crying all of the time, and constantly, not to say he's not upset or whatever the case may be, but that can also work against him, because this is about his credibility. this is about, do they believe him? and if he's crying at every point, that can detract. >> one of the hardest things to believe is that he didn't know that reeva steenkamp wasn't in the bed. >> oh, yeah. on that line, and back to what i was saying about the bail statement, he had to give a statement about what happened when he made bail.
7:36 am
and in that, you might think this is insignificant. but think it through. he said in the bail statement, he did not go out on the balcony to adjust the fan. he said he stayed in the room, and i guess pulled it in off the balcony. which means, he didn't have a chance to not notice reeva getting up and going into the bathroom. he could have argued when he went on the balcony, she went in the bathroom without him knowing. now, from his bail statement, his story changed a little bit. he never left the room, according to his first statement. and the prosecution's just started with that bail statement right now, in that courtroom. he's just on the first lines. and he's got a whole statement. i guarantee you, he will not be bringing in that statement unless he has the inconsistency with what pistorius is saying on the stand. >> and this does relate to the most important question and the biggest inconsistency, which is, the question you asked. how could he have not known that she wasn't in the bed?
7:37 am
and there's a whole series of issues surrounding that, related to where his gun was found, where he was. he's screaming her name and she's not responding? and he's not changing his actions based on that. that's the case. i mean, to me, this case comes down to -- >> dan, were you feeling a little sorry for him? were you feeling a little sorry for him when he kept crying? vomiting. but then, when they put that video of him laughing, shooting the watermelon saying, that's a lot softer than somebody's brain. i didn't feel quite as sorry for him then. >> whether this was a murder or an accident, i'm sure he's sorry. right? i believe that he is upset. i believe he's -- >> of course. >> that some of the tears are real. that doesn't change -- >> he's getting tried for murder. that's why he's sorry. >> it may be. but it doesn't change the question, the fundamental question here, which is was it murder? or was it an accident? >> nancy, i was struck by that moment where he had to say he
7:38 am
was -- he was forced to say, i'll try not to lie. >> oh, yeah. right. you know what? talk about a freudian slip. i'll try not to lie. but i can't guarantee. can't make a promise. that really stood out, you're absolutely right. >> whole case comes down to this. >> dan abrams and nancy grace. let's get the weather from ginger. >> i want to start with a sensational beginning in most of texas. we start with wfaa's camera. just before sunrise. downtown dallas, really nice there. and the nice weather is great and all. but you're behind on the precipitation. let me show you. we're checking on the drought from texas to kansas and iowa. but dallas, since january 1st, just this year, had less than three inches of rain. should be closer to nine inches. of course, we know california, such a drought, most of the state. five inches since january 1st. should be closer to ten by this point. so we're good morning. the clouds, low clouds back to the coast by 11:00.
7:39 am
we'll be mostly sunny elsewhere, 47 to 83 inland, 67 to 78 around the bay and low to mid-60s at the coast. kind of like a summer spread there. accuweather seven-day forecast, cooler by the weekend. >> all that weather brought to you by kohl's. and i have to say, when you walk outside and it's 42 and you're dancing because it feels good. it's this time of year. isn't it? >> ginger, thank you. and coming up, the latest details on the ultimate warrior mystery. the puzzling and sudden death of a wrestling superstar. and oh, baby. prince george, capturing hearts in his first official engagement. inside the royal play date, coming up on "gma." up on "gma."

[ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising.
