wearing a hat, has a machine gun. currently in front of the building. >> reporter: shortly after 11:00 p.m. police responding to reports of shots fired at the fedex ground facility near the airport. >> i have a female who is in the control room who advised the subject is still shooting. she does not have a visual, but can hear the shots. >> reporter: police arriving on the scene moments later finding multiple victims inside and outside the shipping facility where roughly 100 workers were on duty. >> we heard three more shots, and then my buddy levi saw someone running out of the building, and then more shots went off. >> reporter: according to authorities, multiple people rushed to local hospitals. eight killed in the shooter's rampage, and police say he died by suicide. >> the shooter has taken his own life. we don't feel that there is an ctive threat to the community at this time. >> reporter: worried families waiting at a holiday inn through the night for word on their missing loved ones. >> i hope to god that he is not injured and i hope a whole lot

of other people are not injured either, but we don't know. >> reporter: overnight fedex telling abc news, our thoughts are with all those affected. we are working to gather more information and are cooperating with investigating authorities. >> it is very heartbreaking, and, you know, the indianapolis metropolitan police department, the officers responded. they came in. they went in and they did their job and a lot of them are trying to face this because this is a sight that no one should ever have to see. this is a tragedy, but yet through it all we will come through it. >> reporter: police have not identified the gunman so far. no indication of motive as we're all asking why. >> right, pierre, but it's something of a sick commentary on the state of the country right now. the pandemic recedes and the shootings go up. >> reporter: mass shootings where four or more people are killed or wounded, not including the shooter, have nearly doubled from 2018 to 2020. while the numbers spiking in general, last year we saw a lull for those happening in public places because the pandemic had shut us down. now with so much of the nation

the ceo of pfizer saying a booster shot may be needed after a year and possibly one every year after that as concern grows over vaccine hesitancy amid that surge in new cases. our whit johnson is at a vaccination center in new york with the latest. whit, good morning to you. >> reporter: t.j., good morning. dr. anthony fauci calls this a turning point in the pandemic. millions more americans are getting vaccinated every day, and yet still hospitalizations and cases are moving in the wrong direction. especially in hot spots like michigan where health experts say younger unvaccinated americans are driving a new surge. this morning, covid cases on the rise across the country, up 31% in just the last month. in michigan the state with the highest rate of infections, 24 hospitals are at 90% capacity. >> we have huge wait times in the e.r. we have a lot of patients that are backing up that don't have beds on the floor because we're simply filling up. >> reporter: as more americans

get the vaccine, pfizer's ceo now saying fully vaccinated people will likely need a booster shot within 12 months and may also need follow-up shots every year. experts don't know exactly how long protection from vaccines will last. both pfizer and moderna are already testing boosters. on capitol hill, tensions boiling over. dr. fauci facing off against congressman jim jordan testifying that the nation is at a turning point in the pandemic. >> can you give us a specific measurement that will have to be attained, some outcome, some result that we have to reach so that americans know they're going to get their liberties back and be able to move on with their lives? >> you're asking for a number. if i have a number, it would have to be my best estimate, and that would be that the number of infections per day are well below 10,000 per day. right now we have about 60,000 infections a day, which is a

very large risk for a surge. we're not talking about liberties. we're talking about a pandemic that has killed 560,000 americans. >> reporter: some states are reporting a slowdown in vaccinations. this graph showing the gap between doses delivered to states and shots in arms growing wider over the last several months. major vaccination sites in several cities with thousands of open appointments. some experts worried vaccine hesitancy could be taking hold. we're now getting more evidence of just how effective the vaccines have been as well. the cdc out with new data showing that of the 66 million americans who are now fully vaccinated, there are only 5,800 so-called breakthrough infections reported. that represents just 0.008% of the fully vaccinated population. george? >> okay, whit, thanks very much. we're going to move to the financial markets set to open

fresh off new all-time highs. the dow jones soared as new signs point to a big comeback for the economy. deidre bolton joins us from wall street with what's behind the rally. good morning, deidre. >> reporter: george, friday morning stocks opened higher after thursday's record gains. ghs, the dowme ever. the u.s. economy is firing on all cylinders and investors love that. economists say increased vaccination rates are helping businesses re-open, and the stimulus program is helping a lot, exactly as intended. for example, in march alone, consumer spending at restaurants rose more than 13%. retail apparel sales jumped more than 18% showing that americans are getting out, and they are spending money and that is feeding the recovery. in addition, fewer americans applied for unemployment benefits last week. the best week in 13 months all the way back to march 2020. next 12 months easier than the

last 12 months, george. >> okay, deidre, thanks very much. cecelia? we turn to the fatal police shooting of daunte wright, the former officer who killed the 20-year-old making her first court appearance. stephanie ramos is in minneapolis with the latest on this story. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. the family of daunte wright is demanding accountability. the 20-year-old's parents watched as the former police officer who killed their son during a traffic stop made her first court appearance. we were there and asked them how it felt to see her. >> i have hatred, anger, sadness. there's so many emotions going through my whole body that i can't even explain it. >> reporter: that family going through so much pain right now. that former officer, kim potter, is facing a second-degree manslaughter charge. if convicted, she could face up to ten years in prison and a $20,000 fine. wright was fatally shot by potter, a 26-veteran of the police department, after she

allegedly mistook her gun for a taser. cecilia? >> okay, stephanie, thanks. george? okay, we're going to get the latest on the derek chauvin trial. the defense has rested their case and we hear from chauvin for the first time after nearly three weeks of testimony. alex perez is at the courthouse in minneapolis. good morning, alex. >> reporter: hey, good morning, george. yeah, after nearly three weeks of testimony and hearing from some 45 witnesses, the fate of derek chauvin will soon be in the hands of a jury. now, chauvin's defense resting their case after calling seven witnesses total. prosecutors bringing back dr. martin tobin for rebuttal testimony to refute defense claims that floyd inhaled carbon monoxide from the police vehicle's tailpipe when chauvin pinned him to the ground. dr. tobin testifying his carbon monoxide levels were normal. also for the first time derek chauvin spoke in court telling his attorney and the judge he won't take the stand on grounds it may incriminate him. >> have you made a decision today whether you intend to

testify or whether you intend to invoke your fifth amendment privilege? >> i will invoke my fifth amendment privilege today. >> reporter: now, the jury could be deliberating by monday afternoon. they will be sequestered once that process begins. cecelia? >> okay, alex, thank so much. we're going to now bring in abc chief legal analyst dan abrams and channa lloyd, managing partner of the cochran firm. good morning to you both. dan, we heard derek chauvin speak for the very first time in court saying that he will not testify. we heard a little bit of a discussion between him and his lawyer talking about how much they discussed coming to this decision. so what was their calculation here? >> i'll bet they discussed it a lot, but probably not a lot of debate. the problem for derek chauvin in taking the witness stand is he would have had to explain, not just why he put his knee on to george floyd, but why he had it there in minute seven and minute eight, et cetera. and i think that there just weren't good enough answers for that to allow him to take the

witness stand. now, look, i've seen in other cases police officers take the witness stand, and it's helped them in explaining the context, what they were thinking, what they were feeling, but in this case i don't think that was ever a real subject of debate. >> channa, both sides have now rested. pretty striking in the number of witnesses called, 38 for the prosecution, just 7 for the defense. how did the defense do? >> i think the defense attempted to find areas of reasonable doubt. other causes of death that were not directly caused by chauvin's knee on his neck, they tried to do that and show that with the drug use. they tried to show that with the carbon monoxide. they tried to show that with a few other things. the prosecution had a bigger and higher level of burden, so that's why they were required to put on the case that you saw. they had to ensure that there was no area for reasonable doubt. >> and, dan, now we're looking ahead to these closing arguments. what do you expect to see there? >> i think from the prosecution you're going to see them come back to that video.

they're going to talk about how these expert witnesses are really there to back up what you saw, what clearly must have happened, and i think that's going to be the heart of the prosecution. from the defense i think channa is right. you're going to see them again come back to reasonable doubt. remember, they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt he was a substantial cause of death and look at these other possibilities. >> channa, the case almost in the hands of the jury now. what are the challenges for them as you see it? >> well, first the jury has to determine, as dan said, if chauvin was the substantial cause of death. once they've established that, they then need to look at his actions and determine what level of care he used. was it a reckless act? did he intend to commit the underlying felony for the second degree murder, or was it simply something that he was doing that was an endangerment when looking at the manslaughter? so those are the determinations a jury is going to have to make. >> channa lloyd and dan abrams, thank you so much. t.j.?

cecilia, george, after 15 minutes, i'm going to show you now people being good to each other. >> yay! >> let's turn now to this rescue. this is in florida, panama city beach, florida. these folks came together forming a human chain, jumped into action to save a woman who was caught in rough surf. you see them pulling her out. now, check this out. they came together to help her out because she got in trouble trying to help somebody else out. there was a young girl who actually got in trouble out in the water. she went out to try to help her out and they all ended up pulling this woman to shore safely. they actually say this is maybe not the best idea to go out there. you're putting so many other people at risk. when you see somebody in trouble you just kind of react and, yes, humans treating other humans kindly. so it's nice to see. >> we needed that. >> we needed that. we are following a lot of other headlines this morning as well including new details on prince philip's funeral. we're learning prince william and harry will not walk next to each other at the procession and never before seen footage of the late prince. our royal insiders join us live. and robocalls are on the rise.

rampage and the white house chief o staff is in touch with the mayor. also right now, the ceo of pfizer saying people will likely need a booster after a year and follow-ups every year after that. this is coming as we see a surge in covid-19 cases. some states are reporting a slowdown in vaccinations. no good way to do this, transition from vaccines to beer pong but take a look. this game, braves fans calling out star ronald acuna between innings, and, yes, he takes a shot and, yes, look, they're asking for him to toss the ball into the beer cup from the outfield, and he nails it. right? the fan doesn't -- the fan doesn't even have to adjust that much and nails it. >> skill. >> so there you go. a lot more ahead. no more beer pong but a lot more ahead. also going to talk about the rise in robocalls, fcc cracking down on this. how can you actually block them? that's something a lot of people are interested in. george? we begin with a look ahead to the funeral of prince philip.

new details about the service honoring the queen's husband are coming in including news that the princes william and harry will not walk side by side in the funeral procession. james longman is at windsor castle with the latest. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, george. we're getting new details on the funeral of prince philip here tomorrow. the choreography, the dress code, the guest list and all importantly where william and harry will feature in the procession to honor their grandfather. this morning, the two princes preparing to reunite to honor their grandfather at a private service but the world will be watching. both william and harry set to walk behind prince philip's casket. it was the duke who told his uncertain grandsons he'd support them in the procession behind their mother diana 23 years ago. now they'll walk for him. but as the brothers reunite for the first time in a year, we've now learned they won't be standing together. instead their cousin peter phillips will walk between them. >> it's really i think quite something we're not going to see them side by side given everything that's been said about the significant disagreements between them.

and even though there are explanations as to why the three grandsons are walking in the way that they are, i still think it's hard not to read into it as a sign of the fractured relationship between william and harry. >> reporter: it will be the first time prince harry has been seen in public with his father since he and wife meghan stepped back from royal duties and relocated to the u.s. the situation devastated the royal family and made the brothers' relationship worse. he spoke about it in that candid interview with oprah. >> your brother, relationship. much had been said about that. >> yeah, and much will continue to be said about that. as i said before, i love william to bits. he's my brother. we've been through hell together and we have a shared experience but we, you know, we were on different paths. >> you said that your brother was trapped. you said that you love your brother and always will love your brother. you didn't tell me what the relationship is now, though. >> the relationship is space at the moment, and, you know, time

heals all things hopefully. >> reporter: the ceremony will take place at st. george's chapel in windsor castle and it will be closed to the public. only attended by close family members and friends, a total of 30 guests. with the threat of covid looming all those here will be required to wear masks inside. the queen will arrive in her bentley masked as well. prince philip's casket will be ushered in a custom land rover partially designed by the late duke himself. and in this exclusive never before seen footage from 2005 the duke of edinburgh reflects on his legacy. >> you do go through life trying to make a legacy. no, i mean i think to try and create a memorial to yourself while you're alive is slightly indecent, i think. i'd rather other people decided what legacy i left. i'm not trying to create one. life is going to go on after me and if i can make life marginally more tolerable for people who come afterwards or even at the time, i'm delighted. >> reporter: it's fair to say that prince philip was a man who liked to share his opinions, just rarely about himself.

tomorrow will be about paying tribute to his very unique brand of quiet dignity. george? >> okay, james, thanks very much. let's bring in our royal contributors, omid scobee and robert jobson. robert, let me begin with you. this news that princes william and harry are not going to be walking next to each other. i have to say as an outsider i look at it and say why don't you suck it up and walk next to each other? >> absolutely, george. exactly what i would have thought to show respect to your grandfather. but if they're going to put anybody in between them they got peter phillips, princess anne's son, the oldest grandson of the queen and philip actually is an international rugby player. if there's any problems, i'm sure he'll sort it out. there's also mike tindall in the procession as well, so, you know, there's going to be no problems. i think ultimately this should all be about paying respects to the great man, to prince philip and suck it in and get on with it, absolutely, george. >> yeah, and, omid, i guess this is one sign of what to expect from the reunion. what else are you hearing about from behind the scenes about what might be happening before, uring and after the funeral?

>> well, of course, the buildup to the funeral has seen all of the family come together to really rally around the queen, harry, of course, in quarantine has been unable to see his family members in person. but we do hear from sources that he's had conversations with many of his family members, of course, including the queen throughout this time. and, you know, this funeral, what we're watching on saturday is a very short moment of what will be a day of remembrance for the family. they will be united in their grief together. and i think any issues that we're talking about that existed long before the events that have happened this week will be put to one side on saturday. >> robert, the grief has to be falling most heavily of course on the queen saying good-bye to her partner, her husband of more than 70 years. >> well, absolutely, george. she'll be at the back of the procession in a bentley with a lady-in-waiting and she won't be getting out of that car going up the steps. she'll go around the side to a side knave.

in to the choir and you won't see an awful lot of her apart from the official photographers, the official cameras inside that st. george's chapel. it's a moment of great sadness for her, but one thing that's very important to her majesty is she wants to be in top form for her beloved strength and stay as she called him. i know today she's with angela kelly today, her dresser, but a very close friend, just making sure she looks a million dollars for her duke tomorrow. >> and, omid, meghan is pregnant. will not be there because her doctor advised her not to travel. do we know if she and archie will be participating remotely or in any way watching the ceremony? >> well, george, i'm sure like many of us have even known or experienced dialing in to a funeral service in the past year with the current restrictions and it'll be no different for meghan in california. she'll no doubt be watching from home. we know that she is supporting harry in this very difficult week for him, but also she'll

also be sad because this is also a loss of a family member for her. she grew very close to the queen and prince philip over the recent years. it was probably her strongest relationship within the family and those relations then get smaller this week. so it'll be a sad day for her but we'll see those who aren't present at the funeral showing their respects. we'll see floral tributes and wreaths shared from those not attending on the day, and i'm sure we can include the sussex fmily in that too. >> robert, we're going to see prince andrew. he's not been seen much in public lately but also the royal family breaking with tradition and not wearing military uniforms. what's behind that? >> well, i think, george, that was all about protocol. that thing that people say doesn't exist half the time but there was an argument over what admiralty and what uniform someone could wear. what rank, and i think the queen probably just said, enough, guys, wear your medals and just dress for the great man, for the duke of edinburgh. and so that stopped all of that nonsense about who could wear

uniforms and who couldn't. and just as an aside, george, i think they're sticking very much to these covid rules. my understanding is there will be a wake after the ceremony, but it won't be for all 30. it can only be 15, 15 people and that's when i think the conversations may well happen between harry and william. >> okay, thank you both very much. we're going to have live coverage of the funeral of prince philip that starts tomorrow at 9:30 eastern. cecelia? coming up, jennifer lopez and alex rodriguez ending their engagement. we're going to tell you what it means for their business partnerships and what a-rod is saying now. and next the fcc alert about a robocall so many of us are getting. we're going to tell you what you can do to block them. stay with us. place. home is a feeling you live in and when your home is happier, you feel happier. which means, you can celebrate happier or organize happier, or just be happier. every room, every moment,

and we are back with a frustrating rise in robocalls. an estimated 4.9 billion reportedly made in march alone. that's about 15 for each of us. erielle reshef joins us with the frustration and what you can do about it. i deleted four just yesterday, erielle. help. >> reporter: it is so annoying, cecelia. it seems like we are all getting more of these annoying robocalls specifically the ones targeting auto warranties. the fcc says it's now upping its efforts to track down and crack down on those responsible. >> we recently noticed your car's extended warranty was going to expire. >> reporter: robocalls, they seem endless these days, in some cases scammers preying on unsuspecting victims. >> i'd like to congratulate you on your $1,000 instant rebate. >> reporter: those unwanted calls, the number one complaint

to the fcc, an average of 200,000 annually and the most popular category of robocalls right now, auto warranties. a lot of these seem to be focusing on auto warranties. why is that? >> there is public information out there about your cars that you own and people are driving more than ever as we come out of this pandemic. so the time is ripe for fraud associated with these kind of things. >> reporter: and the fcc is taking action making changes so operators can block robocalls. >> we're going to put in place new technologies that help authenticate our calls and those new technologies will be in place in just a few months. >> reporter: but the fcc says there are some things you can do now to stop most of the unwanted calls like downloading a call blocker. youmail is a free third party app that helps prevent spam calls. >> the pandemic actually reduced the number of robocalls dramatically. that's because the call centers had to close or operate at reduced capacity. and now they've sprung right

back to where they were before the pandemic. and the whole point of a robocall is to get you to press 1 or call someone back so they can hit you on whatever it is they're trying to sell. >> reporter: using charts like this one, youmail tracks the amount of robocalls happening at any given time, but also the many fraudulent services being offered, which they say make up nearly half of all robocalls. >> there are up to 30 of them going at the same time. >> what's your message to scammers out there who may be watching this >> you're going to stop because we're coming for you. >> reporter: and experts say that many of these robocalls are being generated overseas which makes fighting them more challenging, but the fcc says it is working with its partner agencies both at home and abroad to try to reduce the number of calls we're all getting. cecelia? >> yeah, erielle, you've got t.j. and i over here taking notes on this. so youmail. anything else we can do to avoid these calls? >> reporter: yeah, the fcc says contact your cell phone provider. oftentimes they have apps they recommend and can help you install them to block some of these robocalls.

if you have an iphone operating system 13 and later, you actually do have a feature to block unknown callers, you just have to go to your settings. cecilia and t.j., hopefully that helps. >> it does, thank you. >> i haven't owned a car in about five years, and i get calls about a warranty and get confused. did i sell my car? i think i own a car. >> is there a car out there? well, stay with us. coming up, our "play of the day." grandma goes viral. grandma goes.

dear ms, from day one you've tried to define me. but i never invited you in. it's my life and this is my journey. i've found a way to do things differently with ocrevus, an infusion treatment that's 2-times-a-year. for adults with relapsing or primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, ocrevus is proven effective in reducing relapses in rms and slowing disability progression in rms and ppms. don't take ocrevus if you've had a life-threatening allergic reaction to it, or have hepatitis b. tell your doctor about vaccinations or if you've had hep b, as it could come back. a common side effect of ocrevus is infusion reactions, and some may require hospitalization. it can increase your risk of infections, which can be serious, and may decrease certain types of immunoglobulins. while pml was not reported in clinical trials, it could happen. an increased risk of cancer, including breast cancer, may exist. sorry, ms. you don't get to control every part of me. ms can't own us. ask your doctor about two-times-a-year ocrevus.
