7:00 am
or lease a 2014 jetta se for $169 a month after a $1,000 bonus. good morning, america. and breaking overnight -- out of control. rioting and looting outside of st. louis. the situation turning dangerous. police in riot gear sent in to break up the chaos. stores ransacked and burned down. anger boiling over after an unarmed teen was shot and killed by police. also this morning -- growing questions about this deadly confrontation on the racetrack. the young driver, bumped, getting out of his car to confront nascar superstar tony stewart, seconds before stewart hits and kills him. was it an accident or not? holy cow! >> look at these incredible images of a dust devil forming right in the middle of a brooklyn ball field. the wind whipping up a surprise twister on a picture-perfect day.
7:01 am
the startling phenomenon caught on tape and monet davis and the little leaguers! >> and throwing like a girl, the 13-year-old going into the little league world series, striking out the boys with her blazing 70-mile-per-hour fast ball. shutting out the other side. get ready for girl power this morning. >> it's unbelievable. and we do say good morning, america, on this monday morning. george taking a little vacation time. great to have david muir. >> great to be here. >> you're talking about girl power. are you ready for this? >> yes. >> oh, my goodness. what a performance by that young woman. she'll be just the 17th girl in the little league world series. >> it was incredible. i wonder what the other guys were saying?
7:02 am
we'll have audio next time. and very busy news, the u.s. bombings in iraq do appear to be paying off. militants on the run in some towns right now. and martha is standing by. but we begin with that rioting in a st. louis suburb after a police officer shot and killed an unarmed teenager. abc's steve osunsami has the latest and joins us this morning from ferguson, missouri. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning, robin, there were two things that happened last night. one was the protest for that slain teenager. the second was lawlessness that even the young man's family is distancing itself from this morning. there were teams of people hitting up sporting goods stores, stealing from automotive stores, and burning gas stations like this one to the ground. overnight, on fire and out of control. >> it's a free for all here. >> reporter: north of st. louis, thieves ruled the night, ransacking local businesses. police armed with riot gear couldn't keep up.
7:03 am
watch as people of all ages loot this convenience store and burn it down. at this sporting goods shop, it was a free for all, barely interrupted by sirens. an entirely different scene from the emotional protest for the slain young man. the night began with this peaceful vigil for michael brown. the 18-year-old was supposed to start classes this morning at college. >> they took my son from him. he didn't do anything. >> reporter: but instead, his mother is planning his funeral. >> everything i put into him, they just took that. with no compassion. >> reporter: it's not clear what led to the police shooting saturday afternoon. brown was walking with a friend to his grandmother's when a friend says a police officer drove by and told them to get off the street. >> he was running, he stopped, put his hands up after he had
7:04 am
gotten shot repeatedly. >> reporter: but police are telling a different story, saying one of the men fought with the officer after he stepped out of the vehicle. they said that the officer was pushed back into the squad car and physically assaulted. >> it is our understanding that within the police car there was a struggle over the officer's weapon. there was at least one shot fired within the car. >> reporter: brown was killed in the street, about 35 feet from the officer's car. several shots were fired. brown, hit more than once. police confirmed the teen was unarmed. the police officer involved in that shooting has been placed on administrative leave. police are telling us this morning, they've arrested 32 people since this all began. david? >> steve, thank you. and we're going to turn now to that deadly accident on the racetrack. nascar superstar tony stewart being investigated after his car struck and killed another driver
7:05 am
who walked on to the racetrack to confront him. the victim's family is speaking out this morning and abc's gio benitez has the latest for us in upstate new york. gio, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is that small-town racetrack where the crash happened. and right now, investigators are desperately searching for any other video that may show exactly how this young driver died. this morning. investigators are pouring over this video filmed by a spectator and then posted on youtube, showing kevin ward jr. trying to confront tony stewart before being struck and killed by the nascar superstar. stewart was competing in a dirt track race on saturday, when his number 14 car bumped ward's number 13, sending ward's car flying into the wall. watch. 20-year-old ward rushes on to the track as several cars speed by, pointing his finger, apparently at stewart. then, just a fraction of a second later, ward is hit bit by the right side of stewart's car.
7:06 am
ward was pronounced dead at the hospital. stewart saying over the weekend, there aren't words to describe the sadness i feel about the accident that took the life of kevin ward jr. it's a very emotional time for all involved. stewart pulled out of sunday's sprint cup race at watkins glen. other nascar greats paying their respects as well. >> my thoughts and prayers going out to the family. i know exactly what they are going to be dealing with. my heart hurts for them. >> reporter: it happened on the same track where stewart was involved in an accident that seriously injured a 19-year-old driver. he took responsibility for that crash. the 43-year-old star has earned a reputation as a great driver with a bad temper. from throwing gear at competitors during several races, to butting heads with a fellow driver last year. >> if he ever turns down a cross in front of me again, he won't make it through the other end of it.
7:07 am
>> reporter: this morning, ward's family is lashing out. his aunt has said that stewart, nickname is smoke, has left the family with a deep hurt that should not be there. and ward's mother telling abc news overnight the family appreciates all the prayers and support. and right now, there are no criminal charges against stewart, but they have not been ruled out. robin? >> we'll talk about that, thank you. we'll take a closer look with abc news legal analyst ryan smith here in the studio. and espn's nascar reporter mike massaro. you heard about the reputation of having a bad temper. what more can you tell us about stewart? >> it's really a complicated question to answer because, you know, certainly tony stewart's on-track persona is one of a tough guy. and to a large degree, that's his image. that is the brand of tony stewart and that helps him sell a lot of merchandise. and a lot of nascar fans appreciate that and embrace it. but to me, that's only his image on the racetrack. i've had encounters with him
7:08 am
many, many times off the racetrack, he's much more docile. you don't see that temper that you see on tv. so, to answer that question, it's complicated. a lot of folks look at that reputation and are quick to judge what happened on saturday night. i think that's the wrong thing to do. because i think you need to differentiate between what's politically incorrect, which tony stewart can be at times, and having a tendency to be violent, which i don't think he is. >> and this isn't the first time that we have seen a driver get out of the car after an altercation on the track. >> you know, i hate seeing a driver unbuckle at any time while there are cars at speed on the racetrack. now, granted, it was under caution. but still you hate to see a driver actually unbuckle. i had covered an incident years ago in another series, where a driver unbuckled after spinning during a practice, and there was a fatality in that incident as well. so, as a result of that, i hate
7:09 am
to see a driver unbuckle prematurely. this was the case. and certainly, there's an unwritten code in this sport that you shouldn't unbuckle before you're told to. >> and, ryan, looking at the investigators, what exactly are they going to be looking at? >> they're going to reconstruct the scene and figure out exactly what happened. two big things are going to matter to them. first, the videotape. they're going to look at it over and over again to see maybe if there's an indication of tony stewart seeing him or not and what other drivers saw. and his statement. they talked to him once, again, and the key will be will it match up with the investigation. >> possible criminal charges. what could they be? >> second degree murder if there was some sort of depraved indifference to human life. but also criminally negligence homicide. but that's a big if. they are looking at it like with no criminal charges. >> appreciate it. and the crisis in iraq, u.s. fighter jets and drones launching a series of air strikes against militant extremists over the weekend.
7:10 am
destroying a number of key targets and driving them back from towns. and abc's martha raddatz has the latest from washington this morning. martha, good morning. >> good morning, david. lots of significant movement overnight, with some u.s. personnel being moved out of northern iraq. but at the same time word that kurdish forces have taken back two key towns from those islamic militants. those u.s. air strikes from fighter jets launched off the "uss bush" to arm drones launching hellfire missiles appear to be paying off. terrorist artillery, trucks and convoys all targeted and destroyed. >> it appears to have at least given pause to the islamic extremists as they seek to advance in other cities. >> reporter: and reports this morning that the u.s. is now shipping military arms directly to kurdish forces to help fight off those extremists. but the u.s. is taking no
7:11 am
chances with american personnel. announcing last night that some diplomatic personnel at the u.s. consulate in erbil have been moved out to the safety of jordan or basra in the south. government officials saying the move is temporary and will not affect operations in erbil. and on that mountain top where tens of thousands remain stranded, the u.s. aid continues to come. with massive air drops and the news that some of those who have been trapped have managed to escape. but that humanitarian crisis is far from over. in the coming days, fighting around erbil will likely intensify as isis terrorists try to regroup. and there's also a political standoff brewing with iraq's prime minister now defiantly demanding another term in office which does not please american officials. david. >> all right, martha raddatz in washington this morning. martha, thank you.
7:12 am
and let's get it over to amy robach with the other news. and that horrific weather headline from the south. good morning to you both. we begin with that search for that man swept away by a flash flood in south carolina. his companion has already been found dead two miles from the stalled vehicle, they were pushed into a storm drain. up to 6 inches of rain there. and then farther south, this car becoming submerged in flood waters in alabama. and this heavy roof thrown on to cars. ginger's forecast in a moment. also this morning, the coast guard rescuing three people north of hawaii stranded on this sail boat on heavy seas during hurricane julio. they tried dropping a life raft but were unsuccessful. also right now, a boat with three people onboard is missing off southern california near catalina island. its radio equipment not working. and a new cease-fire between israel and hamas appears to be
7:13 am
holding. fighting continued sunday ahead of the deal. talks for a longer truce are resuming in egypt. a month of war has killed 1900 palestinians and 67 israelis. well, this morning jetblue confirming it was a bird strike that sparked an engine fire, forcing a flight from puerto rico to new york to abort takeoff saturday. one passenger describing screaming and shoving as people rushed to the emergency exits and down those inflatable slides. and in utah, a family of three likely would have been killed after this small plane crash if not for three men who risked their lives to pull them from the wreckage. just moments later, the plane's fuel tank exploded. and another dramatic rescue near albany, new york. strangers pulling a driver from his burning car just before it exploded after a crash. and rory mcilroy is the world's number one golf player. he used clutch shots, like this one from the sand, to come from
7:14 am
three shots down and win the pga championship sunday. this is his second consecutive major title. and finally, we have to admire the grit and determination shown by this young man in the yellow hot dog costume. he was racing in kansas city -- >> oh! >> when he lost his pants. and he fell flat on his bun. >> oh, his pants. >> he got up, and then -- so he's pulling the pants up, and then watch -- he takes off again, and he goes down again. it's -- >> oh! >> there was a lot of cushion there. he ended up with a big round of applause. i mean, i know it's wrong to laugh when someone falls, especially a child. he wasn't injured. he wasn't injured. and, you know -- >> so it's okay to laugh pretty hard? >> and you wore yellow in solidarity this morning. >> i did. i did. >> amy, thank you. i know how you feel about roller coasters.
7:15 am
so, take a look at this one. now to a trip that did not have a fun ending for about two dozen people. they were trapped on a roller coaster 75 feet aboveground for about five hours in the hot summer sun before firefighters came to the rescue. abc's bazi kanani has the story. >> reporter: for 17 adventure-seeking adults and 7 children, the thrill is all too real. stranded. tilting sideways, stuck at least 75 feet in the air on this six flags roller coaster outside washington, d.c. >> i was afraid that the thing was going to fall and we were going to die. >> reporter: the more than two dozen passengers trapped for almost five hours in the august heat. >> we were just sideways. so, you don't know if it's going to give out. >> reporter: firefighters attaching straps to the passengers, walking them one at time, carefully loading them into a ladder bucket for the ride back down to sweet earth. the ride on the jokers jinx should have happened like this,
7:16 am
with twists and turns up to 60 miles an hour. instead, an abrupt stop. the cause still unknown. but it's not the first. these unexpected stoppages have already happened twice before at six flags parks this summer. last month, 22 people left dangling for three hours outside of los angeles. and just last week in new jersey, one rider filming his long trek back to solid ground after his ride stopped, slowly walking down the steep stairs next to the track. a scene some are saying is becoming all too familiar. for "good morning america," bazi kanani, abc news, washington. >> bazi, thank you. we're going to turn now to the 13-year-old girl making headline this is morning for leading her team full of boys to the little league world series. pitching a complete game shutout. abc's sara haines is in the social square with this one. >> this is so cool. she took over twitter last night, redefining throwing like a girl. take a look.
7:17 am
>> fast ball on the ground to second, he'll go to short for one double play. >> reporter: how is this for girl power? >> monet davis and the little leaguers, a complete game. >> reporter: 13-year-old monet davis taking it to the boys, and leading her team from philadelphia to a shutout victory other delaware's powerhouse team, the newark nationals. her 70-mile-per-hour fast ball helping her strike out six players along the way. >> it's unbelievable. it's like kids from philly, and now we're going to williamsport. >> reporter: with this victory, davis is now on her way to the little league world series. only the 17th girl to make it to the finals in the league's 68-year history. while other teams are co-ed, she is the only girl on this little league team. >> if i'm pitching, they see the fast ball and they get scared and i just strike them out. >> reporter: she always had a love for sports, but her first choice was basketball. >> i had high hopes that i would be an wnba player.
7:18 am
>> reporter: an honor student who starts eighth grade in just a few weeks, earning respect on and off the field. >> i just go out and throw strikes. >> and we wish her the best of luck in the championship series coming up. >> i love that, kids from philly. kids from philly. >> with a 70-mile-per-hour fast ball. thank you, sara. now to flooding and storm damage in alabama. and where the threat is today. ginger? >> you see pictures like in from south carolina, northern alabama, where the front yards are just turned into ponds. and you say -- that's still going to happen? yes, in both north carolina, south carolina, but also that bull's-eye in florida. this goes through wednesday. that's why we wanted to include the northeast, too. check that out -- in parts of central pennsylvania, 3 plus inches, and flood potential. and our other big headline, heat in the northwest. close to records. your local forecast coming up in 30 seconds. first the select cities brought to you by walmart.

impact statement, requiring the 30-year-old to detail how the loss has affected her. >> on that form where itted a relation to victim, she wrote self because she's considered the victim under georgia law. by them sending it to her, i think they're alluding to the fact that really she is the victim. >> reporter: harris writing, i now lived a tortured existence. noting she lost her job and receiving counselling for depression. describing her husband as a wonderful father that would not allow harm to come to their son. >> it's hard to be labelled and victim and be a suspect. >> reporter: the d.a.'s office said sending the statement is standard procedure. it is not part of the investigation by police. harris honored her son on what would have been his birthday over a week ago. hand crafting this, reading happy second birthday to our buddy, shared exclusively with

taking their time in the investigation, and it doesn't necessarily mean she won't be charged. >> doesn't mean that to be the case. we heard from amy and the lawyer and from the wife that she is standing by her husband. that has to help his case. >> emotionally, it helps, in the courtroom, not sure about that. they're going to base their case on the evidence they have found. the evidence against him. so the fact she stands for him, they don't need her to take the stand in his defense. they have their case together. it will make a difference in the courtroom if a trial happens, but it might not be as strong for his case. >> the trial date pending. we don't know. thank you. >> thanks. now to a break in fact murder case that had a city of philadelphia on edge. the mother of two strangled in a park after going for a job. they have arrested her husband and charged him with murder. paula faris with the story.
