7:02 am
fully vaccinated, but still there are major worries. we are seeing rising covid numbers with the new daily average case count close to 70,000. that's about what it was during the summer peak. meanwhile, on this sunday morning, there are other big stories we're following involving police violence against people of color. closing arguments are scheduled for tomorrow in the trial of the former police officer derek chauvin and in the police shooting death of 13-year-old adam toledo. we are now hearing from that young man's brother. >> those stories in a moment, but we start in indianapolis and the search for answers after that mass shooting that killed eight people at a fedex facility. so much pain after yet another rampage with loved ones of those who died speaking out this morning. will carr is in indianapolis with the very latest. will, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, whit. overnight authorities came out and said that the alleged shooter legally purchased two assault rifles last year, the
7:03 am
rifles that he used in the attack on the fedex behind me. it comes after the fbi interviewed that suspect last year and took a separate rifle out of his house leaving some to question if more should have been done to prevent this shooting. this morning, indianapolis is mourning the eight lives lost. amarjeet johal was killed working at a fedex hub, one of the largest in the world. she was an aunt, a mother and a grandmother. this weekend her granddaughter got engaged. >> i know. i just saw her this week, like that's -- it doesn't feel real. i posted her picture everywhere because she is not going to be a statistic. she has a story. she's a person. >> reporter: her family waited for more than 12 hours only to find out that their worst fears had come true. >> we were looking in hospitals everywhere. we couldn't find her. no one could sleep all night. we just waited all day. we were shivering, shaking, just hoping nothing happened to her.
7:04 am
>> reporter: johal and three other victims were active members of indianapolis' sikh community. indianapolis police said overnight the alleged shooter bought the two guns used in the attack legally in june and september of 2020, despite indiana's red flag law. this after previously being on authorities' radar. >> we want accountability, but right now is not the time. when one of our own passes away, the whole sikh community grieves with them. >> reporter: karli smith was 19. she just started working at fedex. >> she was the mini-me. she was literally my look-alike. she was -- if the kids needed something and i couldn't do it or i wasn't available, go get your sister. she can help you with it. >> reporter: she's one of eight. eight loved ones who were taken from their families without the chance to say good-bye. chaplain matt barnes, a family friend of slain 19-year-old samaria blackwell, remembers blackwell as an athlete who always had a smile on her face. >> on the court she'd put a mouth guard on and be the meanest looking girl out there. step off the court, she's got this beautiful smile.
7:05 am
she just cared about people and so that was samaria in a nutshell. >> reporter: and while friends and family members are still trying to absorb the loss of their loved ones, the alleged shooter's family has released a statement. they say they are devastated. they say they tried to get him help and are offering apologies to the victims and their families. whit? >> all right, will, thank you. now to another difficult story this morning. the police shooting of 13-year-old adam toledo. the split-second actions leading up to his death captured on multiple cameras. this morning, the seventh grader's family demanding answers and speaking to us about his young life. our janai norman is in chicago with more on that story. janai, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. so much of this story focuses on freeze frames and that split-second decision by the officer involved before the toledo family and much of this community, the focus is on adam, the 13-year-old the family lost and now mourns. this morning, a family grieving
7:06 am
the loss of the 13-year-old shot dead by chicago police. sharing these never before seen pictures of adam toledo, who they describe as a kind and funny kid who loved to laugh seen in family photos with his 7-year-old cousin's dolls. his family says adam would play with them to make her laugh. the young teen now the center of calls for accountability. >> reporter: protesters pouring into streets this weekend reviving demands for police reform after officer eric stillman fired a single shot killing the seventh grader. neighbors called police after adam and 21-year-old ruben roman jr. were seen on surveillance video as cameras captured several rounds of gunfire around 2:30 in the morning march 29th. [ gunshots ] >> reporter: an investigation is
7:07 am
ongoing into the body camera footage showing officer eric stillman chasing both suspects, pushing one out of the way and demanding toledo show his hand before firing that fatal shot. >> stop right there. hey, show me your [ bleep ] hands. stop. >> reporter: freeze frames showing toledo with what looks like a gun in his right hand and less than a second passing as surveillance shows the young teen appearing to toss the gun and surrendering. his hands empty in the hair. his brother telling abc news, adam wasn't a bad kid and that kids make mistakes but will learn from them, something my little brother didn't get the chance to do. records show officer stillman has had three complaints of misconduct since joining the force in 2015. however, there has been no disciplinary action and no use of force reports indicated he's fired his weapon before this shooting. officer stillman's lawyer saying it was a life-threatening situation and he was left with no choice but to open fire. many have accused the cook county prosecutor who testified in court about that night of making misleading statements
7:08 am
accusing adam of having a gun at the time he was shot. our local station wls confirming that prosecutor has been placed on administrative leave. dan? >> an excruciating case. janai, thank you so much. we'll move to minneapolis now where closing arguments in the trial of derek chauvin start tomorrow. the former police officer is, of course, accused of murdering george floyd. this trial is being closely watched by millions. abc's reena roy right there in minneapolis with a look ahead. reena, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, good morning to you. tomorrow both sides will get one last chance to try and sway the jury in their favor, and jurors could begin deliberating immediately after that. this city here, as you can imagine, has been bracing for what's to come. national guard members are on standby, and schools here are going remote later this week in anticipation of any protests. the community has been anxiously awaiting an outcome in this closely watched trial, which began three weeks ago. prosecutors trying to prove it
7:09 am
was derek chauvin's actions that killed george floyd calling 38 witnesses including floyd's family, medical experts and law enforcement officials who testified against chauvin saying his knee made it impossible for floyd to breathe. meantime, the defense argues floyd's drug and heart issues ultimately killed him. they need to create reasonable doubt in just 1 of the 12 jurors. chauvin is facing years in prison if convicted. eva? >> reena roy for us, thank you. let's bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams. dan, thanks so much for being with us this morning. we know this is a highly charged case. how important are these closing arguments? >> closing arguments are always one of the most important, and some lawyers would tell you the most important point in a trial. why? because they bring together all of the evidence that the jurors have now heard for days and days, witness and witness into one story. they tell you, this is what it means. this is why we were doing all of
7:10 am
this. and, while that is critical, and it will be critical, the reality is that a number of these jurors will have already made up their minds. so closing arguments will be very important, but let's not overstate it in terms of what kind of impact it will actually have on the jurors. >> so with all the testimony and evidence presented, what do you think the prosecution's main focus will be during these closing arguments? >> i think they're going to try and link together the expert witnesses that they called about unreasonableness of the force, the cause of death, together with the video. the video is still the critical point for the prosecution's case, and they're going to say, your eyes aren't lying to you, and our experts backed up what you saw on that video. >> and turning to the defense, all they need to do is have one juror with reasonable doubt and the jury could be hung. chauvin's attorney will be the
7:11 am
last voice these jurors hear before the judge's instructions. what do you think his main focus will be? >> yeah, first i should say that if there's a hung jury, there's no question derek chauvin will be retried. so, yes, that's a possibility. it's always an issue in a case like this, but it wouldn't mean that derek chauvin goes free. i think the defense is going to be focusing on that legal standard of reasonable doubt because, remember, their defense expert on the cause of death -- and you need derek chauvin to have been the cause of death for either manslaughter or murder. even their expert is saying it's uncertain. so they're not saying we can tell you exactly what happened here. they're just hoping the jurors say, well, yeah, i think it might have happened that way, and i think it likely happened that way, but that's not enough. that's not beyond a reasonable doubt, and, if the defense is smart, that's where they'll keep their focus. >> and a lot of eyes will be watching to see how this plays
7:12 am
out this week. dan abrams, thank you for being with us this morning. whit, over to you. eva, we turn now to the pandemic as case numbers and hospitalizations rise across the u.s. abc's zohreen shah is in los angeles with the latest. zohreen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. organizers here at dodger stadium tell me they expect another 12,000 shots to go into arms here in the next week. the race to vaccinate is real as patients in hospitals and cases continue climbing in some parts of the country. this morning, the number of covid patients in emergency rooms is growing. up 6% nationwide as case numbers the past several days hit nearly 70,000 daily. one hospital system in columbus, ohio reporting covid patients have tripled in the last month. >> and what we're seeing now, i believe, is attributed to that spring break travel where so many of our residents left ohio and might have come back with covid-19 or, more concerning, a variant of covid-19.
7:13 am
>> reporter: in michigan dozens of hospitals near capacity. one doctor warning they've seen more kids with covid-19 the last two weeks than all last year. >> there's the new variant, the b.1.1.7 uk variant, and it's possible this variant is more contagious and affects children more than the prior variants had in the beginning of the pandemic. >> reporter: 1-year-old fiona bell is hospitalized in michigan, finally stable after nine days on life support. her mother recently with this urgent warning. >> it's not over, and we can't -- we can't let up because our most vulnerable communities are at risk. >> reporter: the vaccination race critical. but after six women suffered blood clots after receiving the johnson & johnson vaccine, some women, including one nurse, are nervous. >> it took me six months to get on board with vaccinating, and i continue to hope that i'm not one of the small very rare minority that has those devastating effects. >> reporter: health officials are investigating if there is a
7:14 am
direct link between the johnson & johnson and those clots. meanwhile, a cdc advisory panel meets on friday to talk about next steps. dan? >> this is such a huge question. zohreen, thank you very much. let's bring in abc's martha raddatz who is going to be hosting "this week" later this morning. martha, good morning. i know you have dr. fauci on the show this morning. has he given any indications about when he thinks that the government should start administering these j&j shots once again? >> well, they want to do a thorough review and they've said it would take about one or two weeks. dr. fauci has consistently tried to calm people down about this because he more than anyone knows about vaccination hesitation, those people who already have suspicions about vaccines, when they hear about the j&j and this very, very rare disorder they found from people taking it, about six cases and all of them women. dr. fauci has tried to calm
7:15 am
people down. but you still have people who are very hesitant, and it's right down party lines, as you know, dan. two in five republicans don't want anything to do with the vaccine. that's according to the latest polling. so i know dr. fauci -- we're going to ask him those questions today about how long he thinks this will take and if there's any possibility they would actually pull it from the market, but it doesn't look like that is the case at this point. >> so interesting to hear about how it's polarized like so many other issues in a divided country. let me switch gears just for a second and ask you about the president. president biden over the wekend, we heard from him directly, and for the first time, he called the situation on the southern border with all those child migrants -- he called it a crisis. is his use of that word significant to you? >> well, it certainly stood out to me, dan, because i've been down on the border. we were down there a couple of weeks ago doing the show, and journalists who witnessed this
7:16 am
including me were certainly calling it a crisis as you saw migrants streaming over that border and facilities filling up especially for those unaccompanied minors. so that president biden is now calling it a crisis, and one of the reasons he's calling it a crisis is because they put a cap on refugees coming into this country. so it did indeed stand out to me. >> martha raddatz, always great to get your analysis on a sunday morning. thank you. and i want to remind everybody check out "this week" later this morning. martha has an exclusive interview with the secretary of state, antony blinken, on president biden's decision to withdraw american troops from afghanistan. plus, as mentioned, dr. fauci will come on to discuss the latest on the u.s. vaccination rollout as much of the country sees increases in cases and in hospitalizations. it's all coming up later this morning right here on abc. time now for a check of our weather, and let's check in with rob marciano. hey, rob. >> hi, good morning, guys. eva, good morning to you as well. we are looking at some damage from yesterday outside of
7:17 am
orlando in lake county. this is straight-line wind damage. we didn't have much in the way of measurements, more than 40 miles an hour but obviously this gust was much more than that, damage to that church, and these storms packed a punch as far as rainfall is concerned. biloxi and mobile, all seeing 7, 8, 9 inches in biloxi the past several days, gulfport so far the wettest april on record and this stationary boundary will sink to the south and get at least mississippi out of this today but the sunshine state not just today but the next two days. multiple rounds of more storms could have gusty winds and certainly hail and more in the way of heavy rain, possibly 4, 5 more inches of rainfall as we head in towards tuesday and wednesday. speaking of the middle of the week, it was cold across the east yesterday with that snow across parts of the northeast. but raleigh, close to 80 on wednesday into the mid-70s for philadelphia on tuesday, mid-70s as well in new york city by the midweek. that's a check nationally. time for a look at your loca

a mechanical issue. we do start this half hour with the warning by safety regulators about a popular treadmill made by peloton. the consumer product safety commission posting a disturbing video, you see it here, and telling anyone who has small children or pets to stop using it, but the company is pushing back. abc's andrew dymburt joins us with more. andrew, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. this warning comes about a month after we learned that a child died in a tragic accident involving one of these treadmills. a federal watchdog says users with small children or pets shouldn't use it. peloton assuring its customers that it is safe as long as they follow safety guidelines. >> stay with me, peloton. you got it. >> reporter: it is one of the most popular pieces of exercise equipment out there. >> let's go. >> reporter: this morning the makers of one of the best-selling treadmills from peloton are under fire with a federal watchdog group
7:33 am

7:34 am
>> a lot of injuries happen with treadmills, but not like this being sucked underneath the treadmill. >> reporter: peloton pushing back against the warning saying the tread plus is safe when used properly releasing a statement in part, there is no reason to stop using the tread plus as long as all warnings and safety instructions are followed, noting children under 16 should never use the tread plus and members should keep children, pets and objects away from the tread plus at all times. the cspc recommends parents use the tread plus in a locked room away from children and keep it unplugged and hide the key while not in use. and this high-end gear has been on the market since 2018 and became immensely popular during the pandemic as the demand for at-home work out equipment exploded.
