we are getting a clearer picture about what happened on the set. investigators are still talking to cast and crew here at the sheriff's department, but one crew member telling us he had never met a director of photographer so kind, selfless, and talented as halyna hutchins. now the crew is mourning the loss of her life, cut too short, and this morning we're hearing from her husband for the first time. this morning a search warrant in the investigation into that horrifying movie set shooting revealing how the loaded firearm ended up in alec baldwin's hands. police say baldwin fired a prop gun, accidentally killing a cinematographer and injuring the director during the protection of the western film "rust." detailing the moment an assistant director handing baldwin a gun, claiming it was a cold gun, a term used to let the crew know the weapon does not contain live rounds. the armorer identified as hannah

gutierrez. she took the spent casing out before handing it to authorities. when baldwin fired a projectile struck halyna hutchins in the chest killing her and wounding director joe souza in the shoulder. baldwin seen here doubled over in horror. alec tweeted his heart is broken and he's in touch with halyna's grieving husband. the chilling 911 call describing the chaos on the set. >> this [ bleep ] a.d. yelled at me at lunch kept asking about my vision. he's supposed to be responsible for it. >> reporter: the director he didn't know there were any rounds in the gun. when crew member telling abc news the issue of gun safety was brought up by the camera crew and brush off repeatedly by producers. in the past week, there were at least two accidental discharges of the prop gun on set, according to the crew, who said a list of safety and other concerns prompted almost the entire camera department to walk off the set just hours before the shooting. "rust" producers telling

"variety" they were not aware of complaints and are cooperating with the investigation. the film industry standard safety bulletin for firearms on set emphasizes blanks can killed. live ammunition is never to be used nor brought on to any studio lot of stage. >> it's tragedy, preable, it's horrible. this sort of thing doesn't happen. >> reporter: hutchins' husband matthew expressing his grief on twitter saying halyna inspired us all with her passion and vision, adding her legacy is too meaningful to encapsulate in words. it's been nearly 30 years since the accidental death of brandon lee, the son of famed martial artist bruce lee while filming "the crow." >> it brought back a lot of feelings and emotions for me and my family. >> reporter: brandon lee was killed when a prop gun accidentally fired a live round. >> i think in this day and age, there's no reason to have a gun that can fire a projectile on a set. >> reporter: and we're already seeing the reverberations of the tragedy in hollywood. abc's crime drama "the rookie"

announce, they are banning live weapons from the set and any gunfire will be done by air soft gones, similar to bb guns. any flashes, those will be done with special effects. whit? em.we're learning more about ho the pfizer vaccine worked in trials on children ages 5 to 11. as the u.s. daily vaccination rate drops to one of the lowest points, nearly 220 million people have received at least one dose in this country. that is 66%, of the total population. more than 190 million or 57% of americans are fully vaccinated. 12 million, just over 6%, have already received their booster shots. and that booster rollout is kicking into high gear this weekend. abc's elwyn lopez is at a pharmacy in atlanta with what comes next. elwyn, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. experts say we can't boost our way out of this pandemic. we're now seeing more americans

getting their boosters than their first shot. this as children 5 to 11 might be weeks just away from getting their vaccines. this morning the nation is one step closer to a dren ag 5reet to meet to take a look at pfizer's new trial data. the company claims its vaccines are nearly 91% effective against symptomatic covid in kids 5 to 11, with no reported cases of myocarditis, a rare type of heart inflammation. if authorized for young ones, the orange-capped viles will be administered at one-third of the adult dose. >> i wish we had more vaccines that were 91% effective against symptomatic disease. >> reporter: amanda's children 11-year-old eli and 9-year-old lila were patients in the trial at cincinnati children's hospital. >> i was pretty nervous it was going to give me some weird side effects since it hasn't been

tested yet, but no side effects no sickness from the vaccine. >> i feel so much more safe. and it really didn't hurt. >> reporter: and while smaller arms are not yet eligible to get that first shot, 70 million americans now have the go ahead for an added dose of protection. >> my daughter just called me this morning and asked me if she could go ahead and try to fit me in for a booster this weekend for me and my husband. so, we said absolutely yes. >> reporter: walgreens and cvs administering those boosters at thousands of locations across the country. >> they just want to make sure that everyone knows we are here, ready, and available to ensure that we protect each and every one. >> reporter: now the all clear from the cdc to mix and match vaccines. opening up the option to get boosted with any of the three available shots. all three covid-19 vaccines authorized in the united states are extraordinarily safe. as demonstrated by the over 410 million vaccine doses

already given. >> reporter: some pharmacists say that will make an extra jab more assessable. >> there's been people calling for it or wanting to schedule or asking if they're officially eligible based on the criteria. >> reporter: and here at this cvs, i was told they were seeing back-to-back walk-ins for the boosters. with so many getting their boosters, the cdc director said the agency may need to update its definition of what it means to be fully vaccinated. whit? >> elwyn lopez for us. thank you. joining us now with more is dr. julie morita. dr. morita, good morning, it's good to have you. we did get encouraging data on the pfizer vaccine for kids ages 5 to 11. nearly 91% effective against symptomatic covid. do you anticipate this will be authorized quickly? what stands out to you about the safety and potential side effects here? >> good morning, whit. thanks so much for having me

again. this is really an exciting time for us as we think about the disease activity decreasing right now and then having a potential booster available and then a vaccine available for 5 to 11-year-old. the process we follow for vaccine recommendations and approvals is a strong process. so next week the fda advisory committee will be reviewing the data regarding safety and efficacy of the child vaccine. then the following week, the cdc's advisory committee will do the same thing. if the data prove the vaccine is truly effective and safe, the fda will authorize it and cdc will follow with recommendations who have who should get it and when as well. >> a lot of parents are still hesitant to get their kids vaccinated, even those who are generally pro vaccine and pfizer's clinical trial was smaller than what we saw with adults, just about 2300 children involved. what is your message to parents still on the fence? >> so, as a pediatrician and also a parent and someone who

spent a majority of my career working on immunizations, i understand parents have questions and concerns about vaccines, regardless whether it's covid or other vaccines. i think the key thing to keep in mind is there's millions of children who have gotten sick with covid. there's thousands who have gotten severe inflammatory disease and hundreds of children have died. so we're talking about prevention of serious disease. on top of that, if people have specific questions regarding their own child's eligibility or the appropriateness, they should really talk to their health-care providers. pediatricians, family doctors, those who care for children have trusted relationships with their patients and parents. having those conversations will really help to reassure them about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. >> important to talk to your pediatrician about it. i want to the turn to booster shots. they're authorized for all three vaccines for specific groups. there's still confusion over the mixing and matching of the vaccines. the cdc director said it's okay.

who should be considering doing that? how should they go about making that decision? >> so critical things to keep in mind is the vaccines -- by mixing and matching the vaccines, they're very effective. in addition, it's safe for them to be administers in that way. we do it with a lot of other vaccines, mix and match different kinds of brands of vaccines, so it's not uncommon. people should be think about what product they get as a booster are things like how effective the first doses were. then the other thing to think about is potential side effects. so if someone had a problem with myocarditis or blood clots after one of the vaccines, then getting the booster with another vaccine might make more sense. the cdc will be making more specific recommendations who should get which products and mix and match next week. we should be looking for that guidance as well. >> thank you so much for your time this morning. stephanie? now to haiti, where anger is rising and pouring out into the streets as the effort to free the kidnapped missionaries and

their families, now held for a week, intensifies. marcus moore is on the ground in port-au-prince with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. the effort to rescue those 17 men, women, and children is still very much underway, but officials here have been tight-lipped about what, if any, progress they've been able to make. as you know the fbi did make contact with the gang which is accused of kidnapping the missionaries and holding them hostage, demanding $1 million per person. this is still a delicate situation, so very little information has been released. but the white house is saying it's doing everything possible to find a resolution. also, that the u.s. continues to offer humanitarian aid and other assistance to haiti. but i want to point you to this chilling video that surfaced this week of the suspected gang leader accused of holding the missionaries and children hostage. authorities are reviewing this video as part of their investigation into this brazen kidnapping.

in the tape -- on the video that's been circulating online, the gang leader threatens to kill the hostages if their demands are not met. as that effort unfolds to resolve this, conditions on the ground here in haiti have been worsening. widespread protests crippled the city on thursday. people were protesting over gang violence as the gangs control much of the city. there's allegation there's political turmoil here and economic troubles like gas shortages. all of these issues are only adding to the urgency of the effort to rescue those 17 men, women, and children being held hostage. people here in haiti and across the globe are praying for a safe outcome to this crisis that is unfolding here. guys? >> marcus, thank you and your team for your work all week long. we turn now to washington and signs that democrats could be close to a deal on two key spending bills the biden administration. abc's white house correspondent maryalice parks is on the north lawn with the details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the white house is coming to terms with the reality that in order to get all 50 senate democrats on board, the

president's social spending package will just be smaller than he originally hoped. but the team at the white house is still optimistic they are close. the president this week outlined a number of major concessions he's looking at. for example, he campaigned on the idea of making two years of community college tuition free for all americans. that proposal will likely not end up in the final bill because the president says west virginia senator joe manchin was against it. during a cnn town hall this week, the president reminded americans in a 50/50 senate, every senator is king. we know another big point of contention is still how to pay for these proposals. the president has wanted to raise the overall corporate tax rate, but a different democrat, senator krysten sinema of arizona, has been against that. the white house and congressional leaders are now negotiating other possible changes to the tax code like perhaps a minimum corporate tax rate. the white house says the president still wants the whole

plan to be completely paid for. and the white house is also arguing that even a more trimmed down version of this package would still be transformational for americans with major investments in child care, setting up universal pre-k, and for the first time, providing paid family and medical leave for americans. speaker pelosi yesterday said she thinks democrats are 90% there. whit? >> almost there but a lot to work through. maryalice parks, thank you so much. we appreciate it. we're going to stay in washington. the supreme court is refusing to block the texas law that has banned most abortions in the state, allowing the law to stay in place until the court hears the case on november 1st. now, in a highly unusual move, the court has agreed to an expedited review of this law. in just 10 days the court said it will focus on how the texas law was written and if the u.s. department of justice can challenge it in court. now to howard university where students are camping out in tents in a protest over what

they call unlivable housing conditions. abc's kenneth moton is there. good morning, kenneth. >> reporter: good morning, stephanie. >> the student-led takeover at one of the most prestigious hbcus in the country is growing for nearly two weeks now. more than 150 howard university students have been occupying sleeping in a tent city outside. protesting what they call horrific, dangerous, and unlivable conditions inside several dormitories. students say they're experiencing flooding in the hallways. mold growing in rooms. we've been sharing images online that have done viral using #blackburntakeover. the school is one of the most notable and funded hbcus in the country. accepting their largest single donor donation of $40 million last year. students who pay $40,000 to $50,000 a year to attend the university are demanding answers and changes. in a statement the university

pushed back, saying the well being of our students is always one of howard university's top concerns and that the administration is actively addressing the concerns students have shared. the university also said all but one dorm has been renovated the last five years and the complaints concern less than 1% of the dorms on this campus with the students who have taken over the building say that's not the case, and they will be there until there's a housing action plan that protects all students. they've been getting support from celebrities and howard alumni as they continue to push for safer living conditions. also, by the way, this weekend is howard university's homecoming. so even more attention on all of this. victor. >> we know you'll be following it for us. kenneth, thank you so much. time now for the weather. we'll head west to rob marciano. he is following a parade of storms taking aim at the pacific northwest. good morning, rob. >> reporter: good morning. already had a rough week here in california after a very dry year, we are making you for lost
