7:02 am
>> the fbi there as we learn more about the extremists behind that attack. we have team coverage starting with abc's ryan owens in garland. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: good morning, to you, george. that is the event center behind me. where this all happened. we should point out it is still a very active scene. all those many hours later the bomb squad still around the car that those two men were inside. they're very worried it may be packed with explosives. just before 7:00 a hail of gunfire outside a civic center east of dallas hosting a controversial art exhibit. >> get back in the building. >> reporter: people scatter as officers scramble to take down two men who drive up, get out of their car and open fire on police. >> we hear boom, boom, boom. and a whole bunch of gunshots. >> reporter: a group called american freedom defense initiative, notorious for its anti-islamic views hosting this award ceremony to give $10,000 to the best cartoon depicting the prophet muhammad.
7:03 am
the main speaker at the event, allegedly on an al qaeda hit list. this event was well publicized and the group's founder, seen here posing with the s.w.a.t. team before the shooting shelled out 10 grand for extra security. >> this is an assault on freedom of speech very much like the "charlie hebdo" jihad slaughter. >> reporter: here in texas, one member of that security team school resource officer bruce joiner was shot in the leg. he's already out of the hospital this morning. >> officers that were close by engaged the two men, shot and killed them both. >> reporter: back inside you can actually see the uncertainty as the event is streaming live. >> we are going to move y'all into the auditorium here in just a minute. i just need everybody to remain calm. >> reporter: people trapped there singing to calm their nerves. ♪ and the rockets' red glare ♪ >> reporter: the two suspects' vehicle reportedly heavily armed. s.w.a.t. teams and a bomb squad
7:04 am
with robots spent all night working around the car. the suspects' bodies still on the pavement nearby. and they're still working at this hour. on that car. we should point out there were plenty of threats against this event given the context of it all but we're told nothing specific. meanwhile, george, investigators working very hard to identify the two men and their motive for what certainly appears to be an attempted terror attack right here on american soil. george. >> thanks, ryan. we are joined by our reporter on the scene. you were just outside the center when this went down. what did you see and hear? >> we were outside. me and my photographer outside getting exterior shots of the event. that we went to. a cartoon contest of muhammad. outside the event getting exteriors when we started to hear what sounded like firecrackers.
7:05 am
three to five very faint shots. we now know those were handgun shots and then after that some high-powered gunshots and as soon as that happened officers started to tell us we needed to get down or get inside the building so we started to -- they started to usher us into the building and then they put us in that secure room. >> reporter: a lot of security. there's no question organizers were prepared for something like this? >> yeah, you know, we knew that there was going to be security at this event. we were actually outside the barricades when we were taking these shots and kind of almost joking to each other, hey, look, look at all these, these barricades and no protesters here. but then, of course, reality hits and we see what's happening here and we realize that -- you know, hats go off to garland pd and the s.w.a.t. team. i think they did an incredible job responding to this situation. >> how about the event itself, the organizers said it was organized to take a stand for free speech.
7:06 am
is it fair also to call it anti-muslim? >> i think you can assume that. just hearing people off the podium, they were saying, you know, islam doesn't belong in america and after they were saying these things there was -- there were loud cheers in the room there so i think you could assume there was some anti-islam sentiment going on in that -- at that event in that room. >> well, thank you for your time, thanks for your testimony on what happened yesterday. robin. >> all right there, george. now to abc chief investigative correspondent brian ross learning more about the attackers and brian has some exclusive information for us this morning. good morning. >> good morning, robin. this morning fbi agents are searching the phoenix, arizona, home of a man they say is one of the suspects in the texas shooting. a senior fbi official told abc news the suspect's name is elton simpson, a 30-year-old man convicted five years ago in a terror investigation but placed on probation and allowed to remain free.
7:07 am
fbi agents and a bomb squad this morning are outside the suspect's home at an apartment complex in phoenix. fbi officials say they believe the suspect and his roommate are believed to be the gunmen. >> they were determined to be from phoenix. >> his former lawyer says simpson was on the u.s. no fly list. he sent out several twitter messages just prior to the attack on sunday pledging loyalty to isis. followers of isis had been sending messages about the event in texas for more than a week calling for attacks. one wrote ten days ago the brothers from the charlie hebdo' attack did their part. it's time for the brothers in the u.s. to do their part." another wrote just last friday "brothers in garland, texas, please go to there with your weapon, bombs or with your
7:08 am
knives. threaten your enemies and the enemies of allah." the suspect, simpson is well known to the fbi convicted of lying to agents in 2010 about his plans to travel for jihad in africa but a judge ruled then the government did not adequately prove he was going to join a terror group and put him on probation instead of sending him to jail. >> the security officer shot already released from the hospital. >> that's right. >> we turn to that scary fire on a san francisco tour bus. smoke seen blocks away when the packed double decker went up in flames but thanks to some quick-acting witnesses everyone managed to get off safely. abc's kendis gibson has the story. >> reporter: a flying inferno in the heart of the san francisco tourist district. watch as this double decker tour bus packed with dozens of passengers bursts into flames sunday morning. >> we have a two-story tour bus on fire, no victims, fully

engulfed now the engine compartment's going up. >> reporter: the raging fire leaping from the back of the bus. >> oh, my god. this is crazy. >> reporter: this surveillance footage capturing bystanders chasing the bus, one of the first to reach it, timothy parker, seen here carrying a ladder to help the passengers get off. >> i climbed up the ladder and the people that were on the top deck started to exit. >> reporter: the tourists on board scrambling to get out with only seconds to spare. >> this lady is like the bus is on fire, you guys need to go down, go down, go down. >> reporter: the flames blowing out windows and twisting metal. >> double decker bus on fire. you might want to get another engine. >> reporter: everyone on board miraculously escaped unscathed. this morning officers investigating what triggered the blast that left this charred bus a burned out shell. >> i've never seen a tour bus catch on fire. it was definitely a first. >> reporter: for "good morning america," kendis gibson, abc news, los angeles. >> our thanks to kendis. now to a disturbing airport security breach.
7:10 am
a man arrested in nevada after allegedly stealing a small plane going on a joyride. this incident is raising concerns about the use of small planes as weapons. abc's david kerley has that story for us. >> why don't you come down, please? >> reporter: an air traffic controller sounded more like a hostage negotiator after a small plane like this was stolen and was in the air. it was early saturday morning, the weekend of that fight in las vegas. >> i've already committed enough felonies. i can't believe i'm never going to get to do this again. >> you will, you will. >> reporter: the joyride after midnight with 27-year-old evan grant, allegedly at the controls. he'd reportedly taken flying lessons. the controller even offering to meet the rogue pilot for a meal. >> we'll go grab something to eat. we'll talk about this. >> reporter: after an hour up in the air grant finally lands. >> since you've kept me company i'll just make it easier for you and i'll just come down. are the police waiting for me down there? >> reporter: they were and he
7:11 am
was arrested. the question now, how could this happen and are we at risk from these small airports? now, officials have been concerned about big airports like this and jetliners since the 9/11 attacks but one federal official tells me there is growing concern about these small planes and small airports and, robin, the official mentioned that gyro copter landing at the capital as an example. >> you can see it in the background. david, thank you. now to amy with the other top developing stories and another quiet night in baltimore. >> the first night without a curfew has passed. with the streets staying calm overnight. the national guard leaving and six police officers facing criminal charges in the death of freddie gray due in court may 27th. police say during last week's violence, 113 officers were injured. 200 businesses destroyed. well, nine americans remain unaccounted for in nepal after that devastating earthquake. the u.s. military beginning relief flights using osprey
7:12 am
aircraft. the quake death toll tops 7200 people. one man reportedly 101 years old was rescued from the rubble eight days after the quake. back here in this country a dramatic rescue on a california freeway. a biker was hit and became pinned under this truck. other drivers pulled over to help and urged the man to stay calm. one of the first people on the scene was a firefighter heading to work. he propped up the truck with a jack and eventually slid the biker out. he is recovering from his injuries. and new fallout from the boxing match in las vegas this weekend. more fans are calling for a rematch after what critics called a lackluster fight between floyd mayweather and manny pacquiao. several cable companies now offering refunds because of a pay-per-view glitch. mayweather's win was good for $100 million. but he could make twice that once all the receipts are counted. and finally, we often see people stuck in strange places
7:13 am
but nothing quite like this. a half naked man who got his foot caught in a basketball hoop in seattle, more than a dozen police officers tried to get him free. firefighters got him free. police tweeted he may be arrested for property destruction or at least goaltending. no word on how he became stuck there but i personally believe this could be a fantastic ad for just say no. >> i think you're right there. thank you there, amy. thanks so much. now over to george with a special guest with a big announcement. >> that's right. i'm here with carly fiorina, the former tech ceo republican party leader has been traveling the country exploring a run for president tweeted out last night she's coming on "gma" to make some big news so welcome to "gma." let's get right to it. are you running for president? why are you the best person for the job? >> yes, i am running for president. i think i'm the best person for the job because i understand how the economy actually works. i understand the world. who's in it. how the world works and understand bureaucracies. that's what our federal government has become, a giant
7:14 am
bloated unaccountable corrupt bureaucracy. i understand technology which is a tool to both reimagine government and to re-engage citizens in the process of government. and i understand executive decision-making which is making a tough call in a tough time with high stakes for which you're prepared to be held accountable. i don't think you read about that. you learn it by doing it. >> you just laid out all your experience. almost every single president has held elected office and how do you convince the voters you have the relevant experience. >> what you said is true over the last 50 or 60 years but it isn't how our nation started. it was intended to be a citizen government and come to this place in our nation's history where we think we need a professional political class. i don't believe that. i will tell you as i've been out there across the country people don't believe that either. they're kind of tired of the political class. and they believe that we need to return to a citizen government. this is a pivotal point for our
7:15 am
nation so i think it's totally reasonable to look outside the political class that's been in washington for a really long time. >> you know, as you've been traveling around the country you've had tough things to say about hillary clinton, not trustworthy, flawed character. doesn't know what leadership means but back in 2008 you called her a focused intelligent empathetic and powerful leader. what changed? >> she is focused. she is empathetic to a degree and highly intelligent, hard working, dedicated her life to public service. all of those things are admirable so i have a lot of admiration for hillary clinton but she clearly is not trustworthy, has not been transparent about a whole set of things that matter. she wasn't trans parent about benghazi, in fact, just the option, peddled fiction about it and hasn't ben transparent about her server and e-mails and now we see all these foreign government donations to the clinton global initiative at a time when she was secretary of state and at a time when she said she would disclose those donations, all of those things
7:16 am
get to trustworthiness. >> sounds like you're ready to take her on. just announced you're running. you'll come back later to talk to robin about your brand-new book, "rising to the challenge." thanks for coming in this morning. now over to lara. >> now breaking royal baby news. will and kate announcing the name of their newborn princess. it is charlotte elizabeth diana. so much anticipation. we're at kensington palace. >> reporter: we have been waiting on this for a couple of days now. the first two names are traditional royal names and the third one, diana, well that's one a lot of people in this country really wanted. baby makes four. an heir and now a spare. kate and william showing our their 8 pound 3 ounce sleeping cutie to the world and gorgeous george mastering the royal wave visiting the royal princess for
7:17 am
the first time reminiscent of his dad's visit 30 years ago. just two days old this morning the couple heading to their country home where they'll see the queen. >> i'm sure as a grand granny she's desperate to see the little princess. >> uncle harry spoke by phone to congratulate them. the palace releasing a statement for harry who is down under. she's absolutely beautiful. i can't wait to meet her. yesterday it was a royal family affair fit for two kings and future queen kate introducing the day old princess to their nearest and dearest grandpa carol and aunty pippa and prince charles and camilla and finally grabbed pa middleton. >> we have been waiting for that for a couple of days. the people in this country are extremely happy. amy. >> i think people in this country will be too with that name bob, thanks so much. a beautiful name for a beautiful
7:18 am
little girl. robin. >>. >> thank you so much bob. >> i personally am rooting for diana. >> a beautiful day across the pond. not so much in the midwest. >> in the last 24 hours we have seen more than 50 severe storm reports including the hail in minneapolis and this video that shows the hail even bigger bouncing off the ground just southwest of lincoln, nebraska. the storms are up and atmosphere is agitated from west text another chance of severe weather today.

7:31 am
look at all those super fans out in times square. so many great secrets just ahead. forgot to mention the smoke machines. >> that too. >> come in early in the morning and see these guys getting suited up in stormtrooper gear. that's all coming up. first bruce jenner as you said back on tv for the first time last night since his emotional interview with diane sawyer. now he's facing a wrongful death lawsuit for his role in a deadly car crash earlier this year. abc's chris connelly has the story. >> we have this great urge to get out of the house. >> reporter: bruce jenner back on "keeping up with the kardashians" sunday night offering fatherly counsel to scott disick to spend more time with his and kourtney kardashian's three kids. >> it's not just what you do. it's just being there. >> reporter: jenner's first appearance since that interview with diane sawyer. >> for all intents and purposes i am a woman. >> reporter: but jenner the subject of legal drama.
7:32 am
a wrongful death lawsuit filed on friday by two stepchildren of the late kim howell, the 69-year-old who died february in a head-on collision on pacific coast highway in malibu allegedly after her lexus was struck behind by jenner's cadillac escalade and propelled into oncoming traffic. >> are there any injuries? >> i'm going to say, yes, it looks pretty bad. one car is destroyed. >> reporter: seeking unspecified damages the sibling suit alleges negligent, careless and reckless behavior. >> in california, the law requires you to drive with a safe following distance. so you can react and brake and stop in time. >> are you okay, bruce? >> reporter: jenner who passed an on-site sobriety test has not been charged in connection with the incident but the sheriff's department says its investigation continues. >> it's much more likely that a verdict for liability could be won in civil court here than a conviction in criminal court. >> reporter: the wreck took
7:33 am
place days after the former olympian sat down with diane sawyer for that interview. a statement from jenner released at that time saying in part "my heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to the family and loved ones and to all of those who were involved or injured in this terrible accident." this morning his representative declining comment about the lawsuit. for "good morning america," chris connelly, abc news, new york. >> thanks to chris for that. let's bring in dan abrams now. as chris said, no criminal charges filed against bruce jenner yet. what are the legal questions in play. >> there are three key questions. number one, did he cause the accident? i think the answer to that is probably going to be at least in part. but that's only part of the question. the most important question is, okay, even if he did, was he negligent? meaning did he do something wrong? did he fail to show a duty of care when he was driving? you need that. you can't just say someone caused it, therefore, they're responsible. there also has to be a level of negligence. number three is going to be damages. remember, these are stepchildren suing. so there are going to be a lot of questions as to what was their relationship and actual
7:34 am
loss in terms of the numbers in >> if they prove negligence, these could be huge. >> they could be enormous if the family is able to demonstrate that this was a real loss for them, they had a close relationship, i know it's an ugly thing to talk about but when you're talking about wrongful death suits that's what you talk about when discussing damages, how much did the people actually lose. >> but finally the police say they're still investigating. criminal charges really likely? >> it's unlikely. not that it's impossible. the question again comes back to the negligence question which was how negligent was he? if he had been texting or drunk or if he had done something else, that could have led to criminal charges. that would be determined to be gross negligence and you could see criminal charges here because none of that seems to be at play, i think it's unlikely you're going to see criminal charges and i think the fact that they're filing the civil suit now also indicates that it's unlikely there will be criminal charges. >> thanks very much. >> now to the search for that lotto winner who walked away with only a fraction of the cash
7:35 am
he was owed. take a look at this surveillance video. this man getting $75 for a winning scratch-off ticket at a los angeles area gas station. well, the catch is it's really worth a thousand times more. abc's tom llamas has the story. >> reporter: this morning the hunt is on for a mystery man who hit a jackpot. surveillance video capturing this unidentified man cashing in after scratching off a straight flush on this wild west lottery ticket. his prize, 75 grand. but the clerk behind the counter in a palmdale california gas station initially reading the prize incorrectly giving the man just $75. now the clerk realizing his mistake wants to find the customer last seen leaving the gas station driving a large truck and wearing a backward baseball cap to make sure he gets the right prize. when it comes to winning, there are simple steps you can take to protect your lucky ticket. >> we advise strongly encourage
7:36 am
all players to turn that ticket around, sign the ticket in ink. that way it's yours. >> reporter: the man the store clerk says is the winner has at least six months to claim the $74,925 he's still owed before the ticket expires. for "good morning america," tom llamas, abc news, new york. >> i like that. lessen $75 he already has. >> i think he'll turn up. >> i think so. i think you're right there. that's a beautiful scene behind you, ginger. >> it looks so pretty but high surf has been an issue. see the little people there. that gives you an idea how big the waves were. life guards at the beach were estimating 17 to 19-foot waves. a cruise ship that couldn't dock near los angeles, had to dock in san diego. see the pictures from malibu. high surf advisories still in place from los angeles beaches all the way down along the coast of san diego so you could see waves upwards of ten feet plus then the temperatures from tucson to seattl

"gma" is on the lookout. ♪ deep in the ocean and in distress, 31-year-old shawn huffman swept away saturday by a powerful rip current along florida's cocoa beach taking him 200 yards from the shore in just minutes. watch as his head dips in and out of the water. struggling to gasp for air. helicopters arrive with a flotation device as rescuers race him to shore.
