correspondent matt gutman starts us off there in pittsburgh with the latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. robert bowers, that alleged shooter was brought into the courtroom in a wheelchair. as you mentioned, he faces dozens of counts. for hate crimes. the man who allegedly turned a quiet sabbath into a massacre pushed into court in a wheelchair. he was arraigned monday charged with 29 federal counts, including hate crimes. law enforcement sources telling abc news bowers had amassed ten guns and brought four of them to the synagogue, all of them legally purchased. those bullets tearing through worshippers that quiet saturday morning and the police who responded. trauma surgeon dr. keith murray is also a s.w.a.t. team member.

>> we've already had two officers with reports of being dead on scene. >> reporter: they found an elderly woman shot in the arm clinging quietly to the body of a friend. >> she was just staying with the body? >> so we kind of, you know, removed her from her friend. i think my medic put a tourniquet on her. we got her out of there as fast as possible. >> reporter: others hiding trying not to be noticed. >> we were still holding our prayer books and wearing our prayer shawls. we were trying to disguise ourselves as bags of clothing in a room of bags of clothing. >> reporter: rabbi jeffrey myers helped several of his congregants flee and then acted as eyes and ears for police dispatchers. >> and i'm hearing people screaming and it's seared in my brain. i can't erase that tape. >> reporter: upstairs the shooter blasting away at s.w.a.t. officers and spouting hatred. >> suspect is talking about all

these jews need to die. we're still communicating with him. >> reporter: one police officer riddled with bullets, dr. murray just feet away from the gunfire. >> one of the other officers drug him out of the room, someone else took off his armor and carried him down the stairs. in between him getting shot and handed off to us, 20 seconds. it was amazing. >> reporter: officer timothy matteson suffered injuries to his legs, arms and head. rabbi myers also thought he would be dead until the s.w.a.t. team found him. how grateful were you? >> immensely. i really thought i was dead. i was going to hang up my cell phone and make a video for my wife in the hopes that maybe they'd find the cell phone. >> reporter: now, in judaism robin, you try to bury your dead as quickly as possible. the funerals here will last all week long.

because there are so many to bury. the rabbi can only do two funerals a day. he is one who will meet with president trump. >> some are asking for the president not to come including the mayor of pittsburgh. >> reporter: the mayor, council members, have all asked the president to delay his trip at least until everybody is buried and the funerals are over. the need for armed guards in places of worships than sympathy for the victims. >> that's understandable. >> as the president heads to pittsburgh with one week to go before the midterms he's putting the focus on immigration with a new plan to send more than 5,000 troops to the u.s./mexico border and critics are calling it a

political employ and this is the largest in decades. the question is, is it justified by an actual threat? >> reporter: well, george, this is a significant deployment of active duty u.s. military. to put it in context it's twice the number of troops that are currently deployed in syria and if you look at the situation, it sure looks more like a political move tied to the midterm elections than an actual effort to control the border. for one thing, consider the fact that this caravan that the president talks about is still some 900 miles from the border and these troops cannot actually control the border. by law all they can do is support the border patrol. they cannot take part in law enforcement. they can only do things like transporting border agents or building tents and finally, this is a temporary deployment. this is 45 days' deployment and by some estimates this caravan won't even reach the border for another 45 days. >> but we are one week from the

election. meantime, a new report that the president is considering an executive order to do away with the so-called birthright citizenship that anyone born in the united states is a citizen even if their parents are not. a lot of constitutional experts says the president simply can't do that. >> reporter: the supreme court has never directly ruled on this question of whether or not somebody born to undocumented immigrants would be a citizen but that's certainly been the interpretation, it's in the 14th amendment, and the president, one thing is certain, cannot change the constitution with an executive order. >> and, jon, we've seen a series of tweets from the president yesterday continuing this strategy of delegitimizing the media calling them the enemy of the people and blaming the media for a lot of problems we're seeing over the past week. you had a pretty contentious exchange with sarah sanders yesterday. >> why is he out there attacking -- >> the very first thing the president did was condemn the

attacks, both in pittsburgh and in the pipe bombs. the very first thing the media did was blame the president and make him responsible for these ridiculous acts. >> why is the president suggesting it's the news media? the president is the one placing blame here. >> no, the president isn't placing blame. the president is not responsible for these act. >> reporter: it's a jarring line of attack, george. the president on one hand you hear it from sarah sanders talk about peace and harmony and uniting the country and then littering blaming the, quote, fake news media for the level of hate in the country. but it's a classic trump tactic. if you go back to 2016, lesley stahl asked him why he does it, and according to lesley stahl, the president responded back then, you know why i do it, i do it to discredit you and demean you all so then, when you write negative stories about me, nobody will believe you. george. >> jon karl, thanks very much. let's bring in matthew dowd. we have pretty competing narratives going into the final week before the midterms. you've got the focus on the shooting in pittsburgh and you've got those potential pipe bombs last week and the

president trying to change the focus to immigration. how do you think it will play out in the final days? >> i think it's a risky bet for the president in what he's doing in the course of this but the president has been known for risky bets that have paid off sometimes and sometimes not paid off. the problem for the president, the number one issue among voters is health care and he knows and the gop knows the republicans are on the defense on health care. so the dominant issue is health care. >> he's doing something unusual in the final week before a midterm, a first midterm for a president when there's usually a reaction to the president. he has a completely full campaign schedule in the final seven days. >> reporter: yeah, and i think as i say it's a risky bet because he's now going to own the results of the midterms so whatever happens in the house, in the senate, in the gubernatorial races, and the other thing i think he has to worry about for all the motivation he's doing for his base, the question for every one voter he motivates from his base

does he move two independent voters away from him, and i think that's a risk he has because independent voters right now are not siding with the republicans. >> what's the single most important thing you'll watch in the final week? >> i'm going -- as of now the president's job approval rating is 40% positive in the latest gallup poll, 54% negative, which is the lowest historic number a president has gone into the midterms in modern times. i'm watching that and that differential is something like 18 points and it's 20 points among independent voters and independent voters will decide this election. >> matt dowd, thanks very much. now to disturbing new developments in that serial bomb case as the suspect made his first appearance in court. another package was found in the mail and now authorities are revealing he had a long list of names and addresses said to be potential targets. victor oquendo has more from miami. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning,

michael. that list including celebritie, media figures and other politicians. according to a law enforcement source even though cesar sayoc is in custody, there is the possibility of more bombs still out there. the renewed warning from the fbi, additional explosive devices could still be traveling through the mail system. late monday night, according to an internal memo from "the times," a suspicious envelope addressed to that "times" editor was discovered in the newsroom. everyone on high alert. the nypd called in later determining it was a false alarm borne out of hypercaution and law enforcement sources telling abc news the fbi compiled a list of what it says are mail bomb suspect cesar sayoc's potential targets. they include politicians, media figures and celebrities. the fbi now notifying everyone on that list including an editor at "the new york times." meanwhile, sayoc is in federal custody after his brief initial appearance in court monday flanked by three private attorneys speaking softly and nodding when responding to the judge.

one of his lawyers casting doubt on the sole fingerprint matching sayoc they found on 1 of the 14 bombs he mailed last week. >> you'll call the fingerprint into question? >> right now it is in question. >> reporter: when he was in court monday he actually broke down in tears when he spotted his sister in the courtroom. a family attorney tells us they had not seen each other in three years. he will be back in court friday and that's when they'll likely decide when to move to new york for trial. now to that new footage showing the terrifying moment gunfire erupted at a high school on monday. one dying and they believe bullying played a role. >> authorities believe it stemmed from a case of bullying that escalated out of control and say fear took over and one person brought a gun to school to solve their problems. this morning, shocking new video showing chaos in a north

carolina area high school. students running for their lives. >> matthews pd is advising someone shot at the school. one male student is injured. >> reporter: gunshots ringing out as a fight breaks out in the hallway just before the first class started. it was all captured on this instagram video. >> teacher's like, get in the classroom, so first thing i did was go in the classroom. >> reporter: the victim, 16-year-old bobby mckeithen, rushed to the hospital where he later died. a friend of the victim said he watched as an argument with another student escalated into a physical altercation. >> as he was walking away, he was shot in the back and then i saw the gun and i had to run. >> reporter: the suspect, a 16-year-old freshman surrendering in a classroom. he was taken into custody and is charged with first degree murder. >> conflict began with bullying that escalated out of control. >> reporter: friends and family

describe mckeithen as a happy, caring individual. >> he enjoyed life. he enjoyed his family. he enjoyed friends. bobby was a good kid, loved life. >> reporter: police say the conflict between the 16-year-olds have been brewing for weeks. the panicked school on lockdown for two hours before being lifted. the school is bringing in counselors to help students still scared, some afraid to go back to class. >> i never expected it to happen. i thought i was safe here, you know. >> reporter: now, one of the students asked the school's superintendent how another student could come onto campus with a loaded gun. he said he had no easy answer for that. they don't have metal detectors and don't search the students but rely on cooperation and communication. that wasn't enough tragically. >> thanks. now to a medical alert about an alarming rise in cases of the mystery polio-like illness striking children. the cdc confirming 72 cases this

year in 24 states and now the cdc's own medical advisers are criticizing the agency's response. abc's eva pilgrim is here with more. good morning. >> reporter: this morning, the cdc reporting ten more confirmed indicates of afm compared to last week and the institution is now under fire for how it's handled this outbreak. concerns growing over the spread of a baffling illness paralyzing children. >> they said it was sort of like a sister or cousin to polio. >> reporter: a few months ago 5-year-old elizabeth could not move her arm. elizabeth is fighting acute flaccid myelitis or afm. it starts off looking just like a cold or the flu but quickly turns into polio-like estimates. how bad was it? >> super bad. >> super bad. >> it was excruciating. >> reporter: she spent nearly a month in the hospital and was bedridden for five days. after physical and occupational therapy, she accomplished a major milestone on sunday

finishing a kid's triathlon. so far there are 72 confirmed cases in 24 states with nearly 200 cases under investigation. this morning, the cdc facing criticism that they aren't doing enough. >> my suspicion is that the cdc numbers are close to accurate but by no means capture all of the cases that have occurred in the united states. >> reporter: the exact cause of afm is unknown but doctors say it could be linked to viruss. at this time there is no cure. and one of the major criticisms of the cdc right now is that it doesn't know exactly how many cases are out there. the cdc saying they are encouraging reporting, michael. >> how does the cdc not have that kind of information? >> the states aren't required to report and the numbers they're getting are at least four weeks old because it takes that long for the information to get in so it's not an accurate snapshot of

what it looks like now. >> want to switch gears? >> we need it. something lighter. an incredible record on the basketball court. take a look at this. this is the moment klay thompson, boy, did he break out of his slump. 14 three-pointers. 14 three-pointers and breaking his teammate steph curry's record. 52 points and beat the bulls, 149-124. he wasn't playing so well to begin the season but i think the slump is on. >> challenge is on for steph now. overseas and go to major flooding in historic venice, italy. take a look at these pictures. 75% of the city is under water. strong winds from a storm system leading to an unusually high tide. raising water levels by five feet. now, venice is accustomed to flooding but this is the worst flooding they have experienced in ten years. people just wading down the middle of the street.

you see safety vehicles flashing their lights. the law and common sense. >> yes. >> in both those cases. we begin now with the latest on that plane crash in indonesia where a lion air jet fell into the sea minutes after takeoff leaving no survivors. the boeing 737 was practically brand-new but problems were reported before the flight and abc's david kerley has the story. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, george. they're checking the manifest to see if anybody with terrorism ties was on board that aircraft, but also questions about the flight the day before and questions from passengers about the engines. this morning, 24 body bags sent to have human remains identified as distraught friends and family gather in jakarta hoping for news about loved ones. this as the search for more than 189 on board the flight that crashed into the java sea wraps up its second day. more questions this morning about disturbing accounts of technical problems with the plane the day before its final

flight. one woman on board the sunday night from bali to jakarta telling a reporter that passengers sat in the cabin without air-conditioning for a half hour listening to a strange noise coming from the engine they got off and after the engine was checked but during the flight another passenger claims the plane dropped several types and felt like a roller coaster. the president of lion air admits there were reports of technical problems on the boeing but had been resolved. officials offered no new details on why it returned to the airport. abc news has learned that authorities are now examining the passenger manifest to determine if an indonesian national on the u.s. no-fly list may have been on board. authorities now searching a ten-nautical-mile area picking up pieces of the 2-month-old jetliner but the black boxes have sll not been discovered.

one of the most recentersions of 737, boeing says the max 8 is the company's fastest selling plane in its history with nearly 4700 orders for more than 120 customers across the world. southwest and american airlines have the same planes in their fleet and boeing investigators will arrive there in a matter of hours to assist in the investigation and the company saying, it is deeply saddened by the loss of the lion air flight. the national transportation safety board here in washington also sending investigators to try and help. george, the real thing that we need to find are those two black boxes which will yield a lot of answers to all these questions. >> they are almost always the key. david, thanks very much. let's bring in steve ganyard from tokyo. thanks for joining us. you have a brand-new plane but had problems the night before. how do you reconcile that? >> yeah, it's a brand-new plane not only in the sense that it was just off the production line but as david noted it's a new model of the venerable 737 so investigators are going to look very closely to make sure there was no design flaw that may have come out and caused this crash.

at this point there is no reason to believe that. >> no reason to believe that. they're also going through this passenger list to determine if someone on the no-fly list was on the plane. it doesn't appear to have been an explosion or anything like that? >> not that we know of yet. think about this. the mystery only deepens with the person on the manifest, 5,000 feet for 8 minutes and it dipped 1500 feet and at 3600 feet it just disappeared. all data stopped. so a potential person on the terrorist no-fly list. we know that isis has been very active in indonesia in the past few months. we can't rule out terror as a potential cause of this mishap. >> how about the safety record of lion air overall? >> it's actually quite poor. but almost all of indonesian commercial aviation is quite poor as well. it was not only until a couple of years ago that aviation officials allowed indonesian airplanes to fly into the united states. >> steve ganyard, thanks very

much. michael. >> thank you, george. now to new details on that cruise ship privacy scare involving that couple who said they found a hidden recording device in their cabin. abc's gio benitez is here with that and what you need to look out for your privacy. >> reporter: good morning. they say they found the hidden camera on day two of their trip. the camera was facing their bed and their story is a warning that it could happen to any of us and this morning we're showing you what to do about it. when dana and chris white and 10-year-old son found that camera, their three-day trip on a carnival ship. >> really flabbergasted there is a camera in the room and plugged up and working. >> reporter: speaking out to "inside edition" and immediately called the front desk that sent

what i'm leaving for my son. i've been holding the door open for a lot of people that come to work as underdogs and there was a time when a lot of people of color couldn't get work and worked with me. like viola davis and kerry washington, taraji, and i'm trying to hold the door for the next generation because i feel like i have done all i wanted to do thus far. >> that's great. >> beautiful.

>> yes. >> so what's it like with tiffany on set? >> we worked together five years ago. i have an eye for talent. she was on "if loving you is wrong." before she hit and this is her follow-up to "girls trip" because she is -- what she did in "girls trip." she takes it times ten. she is a professional and she's not a flash in the pan. this girl is smart and cease's she's only showing you one side. she's got some gears and when she gets into other stuff she'll blow people's mind with her dramatic stuff. >> whoopi goldberg spoke highly of her too, but whoopi speaks so highly of you too, that studio of yours. it is just -- guys, you just don't realize the impact that this man has had and what he's wanted to do for this country and this world. explain to us whoopi when she came there, she was really -- she was bln away by what she saw. >> she got an egot. she's got an emmy, grammy,

oscar, tony, she has got everything, right? she comes in and was -- i think she was just at a place in her life where she just needed that reassurance and to be able to give that to her and have her show up in this movie and be as funny as she is and remind all the people how great and funny she is on film, i'm hoping that everything just reignites for her again, man, because whoopi is amazing and she's wonderful. she's wonderful. [ applause ] >> tell you she's wonderful. and, tyler, we have known you a long time and -- >> i'm not giving you a tesla. you hit me up for something. it didn't work. >> we got to say, you continue to do it over and over again. i was going to say continue to amaze us, but you don't because you always have this certain level of everything that you do and really it inspires everybody. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. tyler perry and the movie is "nobody's fool." hits theaters this friday. make sure you can check it out

so you can laugh. i'm not george but i'll take that and you're not tiffany either. coming up, "broad city's" abbi jacobson is here live.

funny. really a great send-off. >> you and ilana said it shouldn't go on too long. >> yeah. i think so. it's really about your 20s in new york, and i'm, you know, i am only 25 now, but, no. it's really about your 20s in new york and felt like it had an end and i'm 30 on the show so it felt like a good ending point. >> we were covered by b roll so they didn't see you do the -- those quotations. >> 30. >> as we said before we went on camera, one door closes. another opens. you go on this journey writing this. this is your first, but you have written before and you have got all kinds of other projects, but this was a real labor of love. getting in the car by yourself. were you nervous? >> i was so nervous. i mean i was nervous to take the solo road trip. it was about three weeks then nervous to write in this longer format. it's essays and veers from the

essay format and lists and a lot of illustrations so only done illustrated books before but this is something i wanted to do for awhile, and i was really heartbroken and i was very overworked. i'm pretty much a workaholic, hence the ending of "broad city" on friday, starting the book tour on tuesday. so i was very nervous but really needed that space and time and i feel very lucky i was able to take off work to do that. >> all right, i have three really quick rapid-fire questions. >> okay. >> favorite place in america on your journey? >> i think it might have been marfa, texas. >> good old marfa, texas. got to go? >> that is so fast. i mean, me in marfa. you guys are good.
