swing, and this morning we are getting a better picture of how many americans are coosing to travel. >> yes, the tsa says nearly 2 million people were screened at airport security checkpoints on friday. that's a new record since the start of the pandemic. millions more hitting the roads even as nasty weather sweeps much of the country. a chilly start to the unofficial start of summer. you're looking live at long beach. this is new york where the damp and dreary forecast is keeping most beachgoers away. we're going to start though this morning with breaking news. a mass shooting outside of miami. gunmen spraying a crowd gathered for a concert. we have a report now from parker branton from our abc miami affiliate, wplg. >> reporter: good morning, dan. 20 to 25 people shot, 2 dead just outside of miami. this happening just after midnight at a banquet hall that was being rented out for a concert. once that concert wrapped up, people were gathering outside the venue's doors when police say a white nissan pathfinder

7:04 am
fully returned to where we were before the virus, but we are getting there, and there are plenty of crowds and lines to prove it. this morning, america on the move once again setting more pandemic travel records this memorial day weekend. >> definitely a lot more crowded, longer lines. >> reporter: the tsa screening just shy of 2 million people at airports around the country friday, about six times as many as last year. >> it feels good. it's like you feel the unity of everybody finally being able to come outside without having to worry, you know, as much about getting sick and things like that. >> reporter: miami beach and today's indy 500 serving as big draws for tourists coming off of a year s overall tsa screenings were still down about 24% from 2019. >> we have almost the same number of daily flights to destinations that we had two years ago, but they're in smaller planes. last year, 2020 obviously became
7:05 am
the worst year we've ever had. 2021 is right here in the middle, and we're growing back towards 2019 levels. >> reporter: experts are expecting a busy summer season, and airlines are banking on the takeoff, and for the millions who have run into newfound lines and traffic on their way out of town, experts say the congestion headed home shouldn't be quite so bad though to avoid the slowdowns, aim for an early morning or late afternoon return. and if you're among the people who took off and you thought that the traffic was a little bit worse than usual, it probably was. according to the analytics company inrix, traffic thursday and friday was about 20% worse than a regular year, and it'll be about 10% worse coming home. whit? >> all right, trevor. thanks. and the one thing putting a damper on millions of those travelers, the weekend washout hitting much of the country. rob marciano is at long beach, and, rob, it's the unofficial start of summer, and we have been saying that, but it doesn't feel like it for so many people. >> not at all, whit. day two of t v ra the ws comi wn, several ds
7:06 am
we just can't shake it. hopefully we'll be able to salvage monday, but we're still into sunday, so here it is on the radar. it's a big old mess from the north carolina area through virginia, the delmarva, and all up i-95, and you can see it's really congealing. so today we're looking for the rain to only amplify and temperatures are going to remain below average. but as we go through tonight and tomorrow, we do start to see some clearing at least, you know, from west to east, and you know, the beach crews are out here. you hear them behind me, but we're having a hard time getting anybody out here to enjoy this weather. look at these numbers. 39 degrees for windchill in louisville and indianapolis, and not just the rain and the wind, but the cold temperatures, 20 to 25 degrees below average. that is chilly stuff at the end of may. back to you, guys. >> rob, we'll come back to you in a few minutes for more on the forecast. thank you. >> on the pandemic as we're learning more about a new variant overseas. 40% of the u.s. population is
7:07 am
now fully vaccinated and janai is right here with all of that. janai, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, guys, good morning. tomorrow begins the unofficial start to summer. vaccinations are up, and covid cases are down, and that's good news as we continue the fight against covid, but some concerning news out of vietnam where the health ministry announced a new highly contagious variant has been detected. this is news we've heard before when new variants were detected in the uk, south africa and brazil. right now experts say they need to learn more. it's too soon to know if this new variant is more deadly or will have any impact on the vaccine, but we do know the variant has not been confirmed here in the u.s., and at this point we have no reason to believe the vaccines won't work es, ofou t keyew variant. to beating the virus. we started to see some lagging vaccination rates in april and may here in the u.s., but the recent eligibility of 12 to 15-year-olds are helping drive up those numbers. more than 2.5 million have gotten their first shot, a quarter of all new vaccinations in the last couple of weeks, and more than half of americans have
7:08 am
at least one vaccine dose. this as daily covid case averages in the u.s. have plummeted, down nearly 70% in the past six weeks, and as we look ahead to summer, officials are also looking back. we're learning president biden directed intelligence officials to take a deep look into the origins of covid-19 after assessing just how much information already obtained hadn't been fully analyzed. officials say this could hold clues as to how the virus started. guys. >> a lot of people wanting answers to that, janai, thanks for that. now to that chicago officer under investigation for shooting and killing anthony alvarez. new video surfacing of him of appearing to hold a gun during a separate road rage incident. elwyn lopez joins us now with more. good morning, elwyn. >> reporter: eva, good morning. weeks after an officer was placed on leave after the killing of a 22-year-old, and now he's under another investigation in a separate incident. this morning, the chicago police officer involved in a fatal
7:09 am
shooting is now at the center of another incident caught on camera. >> i did not pull a gun. i did not threaten you with a knife. >> you're on camera. >> reporter: two officials briefed on the probe tell abc news this man confronting a driver with his gun out is officer evan solano. >> did you not catch him? >> reporter: no one was injured and it was unclear what started the incidet. now chicago internal affairs is looking into it. solano is the same officer involved in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old anthony alvarez in march. >> the officer involved in the shooting was placed on routine administrative leave for 30 days following this incident. >> reporter: in april, the president of the chicago fraternal order of police supported solano, saying the rules of engagement are clear, and this officer followed them. body camera footage shows anthony alvarez running from officers with a weapon in his hand. officer solano then approaching alvarez before opening fire,
7:10 am
killing him. >> hey. drop the gun. drop the gun. >> what really is going to be questioned here is going to be his judgment. you have a road rage incident. is it ever really worth getting out of the car on a road rage incident and confronting another driver? >> reporter: alvarez's family now speaking out. >> we're hoping that with this video that came out and everything that happened with anthony, this man finally gets arrested. >> reporter: we have reached out to solano and his attorney, but have not heard back yet, and guys, chicago pd just implemented a new foot pursuit policy last week. officials say it prioritizes the safety of both officers and the public, whit. >> okay, elwyn. thank you. we move to politics now, and republican lawmakers in texas trying to beat a midnight deadline tonight to pass what would be some of the toughest voting restrictions in the country, known as state bill 7. it's expected to eliminate drive-through voting and cut back on voting on sundays when many black churchgoers also
7:11 am
vote. republicans insist the move is to address voter concerns about election security. president biden calling the bill un-american and part of an assault on democracy. meanwhile, in washington the white house and republicans are negotiating over president biden's massive infrastructure package. let's bring in abc's martha raddatz who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. martha, i know you have the transportation secretary pete buttigieg on the show this morning. what's your sense of how far apart the white house and the republicans are on cutting some sort of bipartisan deal on infrastructure? >> well, what we know is that they're at least a trillion pdo. whether they can move that together, i know "the washington post" this morning is reporting that some republican senators who met with joe biden believe they can get closer, that they may reach a compromise, but this was supposed to be done by this weekend. it's not done. i know pete buttigieg has said they had to make major progress. we'll ask him about how much
7:12 am
major progress he thinks has been made, but as far as we know right now, dan, they're still a ways apart. >> i want to ask you a question on the international front. we're a little over two weeks now from president biden's upcoming high-stakes meeting with the russian president, vladimir putin, but tensions continue to mount with more reported hacks on american companies, suspected attacks on american diplomats overseas. so what do you think biden's posture is going to be going into this meeting? >> well, he's tried to de-escalate in many ways, although i keep thinking back to george stephanopoulos' interview where president biden called putin a killer. george asked him whether he thought he was a killer and he said, yes, i do. that's one way to go into a meeting, calling the man you're meeting with a killer. but we also have to remember they've met before when joe biden was vice president, certainly, and years before that as well. so i think he's trying to go in calmly with a message to
7:13 am
these really serious hacks we had solarwinds, and we have this new one on usa i.d. where russia is strongly suspected in that, and these really mysterious ailments, dan, affecting, as you said, our spies and diplomats. they think it's some sort of directed energy, and they really are zeroing in on russia about that. >> as we said, high stakes, potentially high tension meeting coming up in just over two weeks. martha, thank you very much. iwant to remind everybody, check out "this week" later this morning. as discussed, martha will go one-on-one with the transportation secretary pete buttigieg, plus an exclusive, cia director william burns gives his first tv interview since taking office. he'll talk about service and sacrifice ahead of memorial day. eva, over to you. now to tulsa, this weekend marking 100 years since the city's race massacre. differences in opinion over how to handle the commemoration and reparations. marcus moore is in tulsa wh re
7:14 am
good morning, marcus. >> reporter: eva, good morning. the desire for reparations and reconciliation runs very deep for a lot of people here in tulsa. many who speak of the lives lost and the generational wealth that was taken over those two horrific days in 1921. this morning, the people here in tulsa and across the nation remembering the lives lost in the 1921 tulsa race massacre in the city's greenwood district. >> oh, i'm trying not to really tear up because it's -- it's, you know, it's just -- it touches my heart, really. it really does because of what the peope went through. >> reporter: one of the events commemorating the ceenthblwat hi >> it's about bringing the community together, you know, reaching out to the community. >> reporter: it's all part of legacy festival where one of the oldest living survivors, viola fletcher, was honored. 100 years ago, angry white mobs violently destroyed the prosperous black community, known as black wall street,
7:15 am
burning down thousands of homes and businesses, killing an estimated 300 black americans, and leaving millions of dollars worth of damage. >> what do we want? [ crowd chanting "justice" ] >> what do we want? [ crowd chanting "justice" ] >> reporter: but in the midst of the remembrance, some tension. the landmark rise event featuring politician stacey abrams and musician john legend canceled. this after a group of tulsa survivors requested a $50 million reparation fund pledge for survivors and their descendents, an increase from the initial $2 million. >> we raised the money, and we were excited the survivors were going to accept these gifts. unfortunately, on sunday, may 23rd, they reached out and accoli.nnd tord >> we stl have mck in tulsa. so i hope when they come to visit, that they just don't stop at the corner block of greenwood and archer, but they begin to
7:16 am
move further north and begin to patronize black african-american businesses in america. >> reporter: this weekend, abc news went inside the only surviving building from the massacre, the historic vernon a&e church where people sheltered in the basement while their neighborhood burned. >> this church survived simply by the grace of god. >> reporter: and a look at the newly restored glass windows. >> it gives me a sense of extreme gratitude to know that i carry on such a rich legacy. >> reporter: the significance of the church just behind me, during that massacre and the decades since really can't be overstated. and its members and people across this country want the story of what happened here in greenwood to be told fully. whit? >> that community stiltrto heal. marcus moore for us, thank you so much. we appreciate it. we do want to turn back to weather. rob marciano out there in long beach, new york. not what people were hoping for this holiday weekend, rob. >> reporter: no, whit.
7:17 am
the beachcombers are still out here, prepping the beach, the lifeguards are going to be here, but i don't think many people will be here. temperatures feel like they're around 40 degrees with the wind and the rain coming down. often though when you get these cool temperatures in one part of the country, you get a ridge bulging up in the other part of the country, and that would be the west. heat is the problem there, and we got a fire that broke out in maricopa county yesterday. this was about 700, 800 acres. no structural damage, but certainly some black smoke there that will make you very scared. high temperatures today are going to be well above normal, and we now have excessive heat warnings up for the valleys of california, from sacramento to modesto, and chico, reading. you're all in it. temperatures in the triple digits. so this is the hottest air of the season. vegas will probably hit 100 for the first time as well, and it surges north into the northwest with portland reaching the mid-80s tomorrow and near 94 degrees on tuesday. that's a check on what's happening in t good sunday morning.

movie on a big screen means to people? >> there's nothing like sitting and watching the movie of your choice with other people that you don't know in there. you all laugh at the same time. you all cry at the same time. you're all scared at the same time. >> reporter: one consulting firm polled americans during the pandemic and beating out museums, concerts and theme parks was being excited about coming back to the movies. eva? >> we're all talking about the popcorn. >> yeah. >> can't have just a couple. >> no. >> a whole bucket disappeared. >> i really agree about going back to the movies. i'm very excited to go back. >> me too. me too. >> a little piece of normal. >> yes. well, coming up on "gma," a new development about a volleyball tournament that barred coaches from nursing their babies on site. one coach speaking out. also from cruelty to kindof plac f a tragender tee who was attacked in school. enleanhig
