abbott brand formula manufactured at a plant in sturgis, michigan, after two infants died of a bacterial infection in late february. the company says an investigation found no evidence linking the infections to its michigan plant. abbott saying, as soon as the fda gives them the green light, production could start back up again in two weeks.ching titi i the shortage requesting records from four of the largest manufacturers of baby formula. >> with regard to abbott, they have cornered the market and part of the reason for the shortage is the consolidation of the industry. we're in a situation where they would have to recall their product, thereby creating a crisis and a shortage in the supply. >> reporter: meanwhile, in spokane first-time mom olivia says she's struggling to find a

children's health. as a parent, you know a hungry, crying baby is every parent's like worst nightmare. you want to get food into your child. what should parents facing this formula shortage do? >> you know, eva, i hate the fact that the onus is on parents right now. i also hate the fact that the lights turned off above me, but that's how we roll. parents are able to get alternative choices of formula, especially if your child does not have any underlying medical conditions and is just taking routine formula. you want to check with the health care provider or your doctor to see what those alternatives are. as we heard, parents can go to things such as wic, look to see if there's options available or even donor breast milk banks, but it's unfortunate how much is resting on parents. >> especially those parents that aren't getting a lot of sleep at the moment, right? what should -- >> i hear you. >> what should parents avoid doing? >> the biggest thing that parents need to avoid doing right now is trying to make

that homemade formula or water down formula, both of which can be absolutely catastrophic nutritionally for children. we've seen children hospitalized because of this. you want to avoid trying to give young kids milk alternatives such as cow's milk, plant-based milk. they won't have the right ratio of macro nutrients. you have to go with a formula designated for those young kids. >> and you mentioned those specialty formulas, abbott and some of those other companies are making some specialty formula available. what is the process for parents to access that? >> the process, plain and simple, is to chat with a health care provider because there is often an ability to talk directly to the manufacturers and get those specialty formulas released. now, eva, this is a population that i'm extremely concerned about because there are formulas that are hydrolyzed, easier to digest, formulas that are designed for kids who have a higher caloric need, such as premature babies, these are the formulas that manufacturers say they have a supply of. we just have to make sure people are connecting directly with their doctors and they're getting what is available for those kids, especially in these hard to reach formulas.

>> a very stressful time for a lot of parents. dr. patel, thanks so much for being with us. janai. >> truly is, thank you. weighed in on that leak regarding roe v. wade as thousands are taking to the streets across the country to make their voices heard on the issue of abortion. abc's ike ejiochi is in washington, d.c. where one of those protests is planned for today. ike, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, janai. in just a few hours tens of thousands of people will be gathering right here on this lawn for the rally calling for abortion rights. they'll then make their way to the steps of the supreme court and this morning, new comments from one of the high court's justices. this morning, supreme court justice clarence thomas blasting the disclosure of the high court's leaked draft opinion that would overturn the landmark roe versus wade decision. justice thomas, one of the justices voting in the majority in the leaked draft, saying the court's confidence has been shaken. >> you begin to look over your shoulder.

also be out in force in d.c. and elsewhere around the country. >> we survived this abortion industry, and we consider it a great responsibility that we will become the first generation to live in a post-roe america.

intelligence, and he has been in u.s. custody since 2012. he is someone the russians have repeatedly asked for. griner for her part has been in russian custody for three months and it's not just her. american paul whelan has also been in russian custody since 2018. janai? >> so many still wanting both of them to come home safely. ines, thank you so much. turning to breaking news overnight back here at home, at least three people shot just outside the stadium in milwaukee towards the end of the bucks and celtics game. and in philadelphia, surveillance video capturing a separate brazen shooting in the middle of the day there. this all comes as president biden makes a new pledge to fight violent crime. abc's alex presha joins us with more this morning. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, janai. that shooting in milwaukee terrifying for so many because not only were there nba fans gathered inside the arena, but the bucks had thousands, thousands gathered outside taking in the playoff atmosphere sent running for cover.

use these funds we made available to you to prioritize public safety. >> reporter: across the country there have been nearly 7,000 gun-related deaths already this year. at least 197 mass shootings. >> the answer is not to defund the police. the answer is to fund the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities. >> reporter: local leaders insisting this will save lives. >> it's enabled us to do a number of different things. number one, put officers in high areas of crime. put officers around our city where we are looking at statistically gun violence being higher in those areas than in other areas in our city. >> reporter: the biden administration is hoping that this funding will help put a dent in crime ahead of the usual summer spike. whit? >> all right, alex, thank you. we want to shift gears. it was a big night for basketball fans and the nba playoffs. steph curry and the golden state warriors now heading to the game six win againstmehis grizz
