not what it was. so i believe i hit the ground with my daughter and i remember looking around trying to figure out where the sound was coming from and i, in fact, looked up at the neighboring business across the street and saw the shooter on the roof and i just -- i screamed that it was a shooter and i got my daughter and we ran into my husband's store and i yelled for my son and my mother and father-in-law and we were all able to get in safely as my husband helped a whole bunch of other patrons get away from the danger. >> you got in safely, but tony, your father was shot in the leg. how's he doing this morning? >> he's doing okay. i mean same thing. it's a little sore but he's doing okay. doing okay. >> so we see -- we have that video of people just pouring into your store as you did everything you could to save as many people as you could. tell us what was going through your mind. >> i mean, it was instinct. you know, just we heard the sound and i saw people running

and i just opened the door -- i mean the door was already opened. we were trying to get as many people as we possibly could inside. so i mean -- like i said, it was just instinct. >> your store is right on that main street. could you have ever imagined that something like this would happen in highland park? >> no. i mean, we're both raised here in the suburbs and, you know, you always have that, you know, it can never happen here and it did. and it was -- it was an incident. it was tough. it was definitely tough now that i'm finally like reflecting on it, it was a tough situation. >> i mean, beyond tough and, abby, as you said, you saw the shooter. was he saying anything? was he targeting people directly? >> no, i just looked up. it was like a dream. i was like this isn't real. that's all i could say to myself. this isn't real, but i needed

everybody to know there was a shooter so i was just screaming at him. i just -- i saw long hair and i saw a gun and that's all i could tell anybody but when i ran in the store i was like, tony, i saw him, tony, i saw him and we just ran down into the basement and we were just shaking and crying. it was horrific. >> shaking -- your little kids are just 3 and 1. you went to the ground to cover them up. how are they doing this morning? how do you expect to help them heal from this traumatic event? >> they're actually okay. i actually probed my son a little bit. asked a few questions about how the day went and what he thought and he was like, it was a good day. i got to ride my bike. so, you know, we'll have that conversation one day, but hopefully, hopefully he's dealing with the trauma okay and we'll see how it goes from here. >> well, we're so glad you are okay and that you were able to help so many others come to safety. thank you both for your time this morning. t.j.? >> all right, george, back to more on the investigation now and for that we want turn to our

chief justice correspondent pierre thomas. pierre, we've had too many of these conversations after a day of another mass shooting. but the investigation is going to focus on social media. >> reporter: t.j., this morning, a law enforcement source briefed on the case is telling me the identified social media post discusses or depicts acts of violence including shooting people. while the person of interest has not been named officially as a suspect, sources tell abc news there's growing confidence in the evidence coming in. we're awaiting the results of an atf trace on a rifle left at the scene and expecting police to conduct searches of properties and any communication devices associated with the potential suspect. this comes at a moment when homeland security officials and fbi officials have been warning about a potpourri of threats from lone wolves and groups with a variety of grievances and motivations. >> there have been a lot of headlines over the past 12 hours of shootings in this country.

>> reporter: there were shootings across the country on independence day into the evening and overnight. police in kenosha, wisconsin, responding to reports of shots fired, finding five victims. two police officers shot in philadelphia and in new york city at least 21 people shot and at least 3 killed in multiple shootings monday night into tuesday morning. t.j.? >> all right, pierre thomas for us as always, thank you so much. we want to turn to reaction from the white house. in his fourth of july message president biden had this to say about the highland park shooting. >> you all heard what happened. you all heard what happened today, but each day we're reminded there's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. nothing guaranteed about our way of life. we have to fight for it. defend it and earn it by voting. >> more from the white house now. rachel scott is there. >> reporter: t.j., good morning. we know that the president is closely monitoring the situation in highland park. he did speak by phone to both

the mayor and the governor offering the full resources of the federal government. the president also released a statement saying that he is shocked by the senseless gun violence. noting that he recently signed the first major bipartisan gun reform legislation in almost 30 years into law but there is still much more work to do. and here is the stark reality. since the president signed that bill into law, just over a week ago, there have been at least two dozen mass shootings in this country. the president did not get everything he wanted in that bill. no assault weapons ban. did not raise the legal age limit to purchase those type of firearms. that was a nonstarter for most republicans. this morning we are hearing from a growing number of democrats who say it's time to come back to the negotiating table and do much more on gun violence. t.j.? >> we shall see, rachel, thank you as always. robin? we'll switch gears to travel.

people are ever bitten indicates that we're not on their menu. >> reporter: there was also a reported incident at new smyrna beach in florida over the weekend. a surfer reportedly bitten. that would be the third such instance in that county this year. but, look, it's summer. there are more people at the beach in the warmer water where the sharks like to spend their summer months. so i guess your odds of encountering a shark, guy, are higher but overall the risk remains quite low. guys? >> quite low, all right. >> all right, will. thank you so much. well, coming up here our "play of the day." we got an independence day win for the ladies in red, white and blue.

that story for us. good morning, kaylee. >> reporter: good morning, robin. demaryius thomas made plays on the football field that electrify a stadium and had a smile that could light up any room. but in the last year of his life, his family say they saw that light within him dimming. now, seven months after his shocking death, they're finally getting answers. >> demaryius thomas, nice move. >> reporter: at just 33 years old, super bowl champion demaryius thomas' death rocked the nfl. >> you're going to see a tribute right now for the broncos. >> fans now realize with a occurred. >> reporter: found unresponsive in a shower in december 2021, the mysterious circumstances of his death are now coming to light. >> cardiac arrest, you know, is the way they're trying to say what happened to him. suffocated. he died. >> reporter: in an exclusive interview with abc news, his parents now sharing what they've learned since donating his brain to research. >> he suffered from cte stage 2. >> reporter: the first cases of

chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the degenerative brain disease known as cte were found in the brains of former nfl players nearly two decades ago. at boston university cte center dr. ann mckee says she's diagnosed it in 600 to 700 athletes after death from amateurs to professionals in just about any sport associated with hits to the head. >> what did you find when you studied demaryius thomas' brain? >> we found what we've seen in so many other players under the age of 34. on the basis of multiple lesions in the frontal locations and temporal lobe beginning degeneration of deeper areas of the brain, he was diagnosed with cte stage 2. cte itself does not cause death. you don't die from cte. what cte does is it changes your behavior and your personality. >> reporter: thomas' parents say they saw him struggling in the year leading up to his death. they knew his ten seasons in the league riddled his body with

physical injuries, but he was suddenly experiencing a deeper pain that he couldn't explain. >> he was paranoid like all the time but memory loss, i saw that as well. every single day he complained about having a headache. >> his mood would change and he would also isolate himself sometimes. it was like, mom, i don't know what's going on with my body. i got to get myself together. he said, i don't feel like myself anymore. >> he was seeking medical help not sure if the medical help he was seeking was helping him, which from my understanding right now what i've learned it wasn't helping him. >> what answers did the cte diagnosis give you? >> when they started explaining side effects, warning signs and that's when the bells started ringing. when they said it, i was like, man, he was doing that. he did that too. as a father, i said i know i could have done more. >> a lot of families have tremendous guilt but the truth is we don't have any specific treatment for cte at this time. these guys suffer in silence and they have a lot of trouble finding anyone in the medical professional field who knows

what's going on. it is an invisible injury. >> reporter: in 2021 thomas also started experiencing violent seizures which dr. mckee believes were due to severe traumatic injuries off the football field, including a car wreck and a fall down stone stairs. >> he would shake so much like he couldn't breathe. you know, you could hear him -- like the wind trying to come out. it got to the point where he was having three or four back-to-back. if it wasn't for those seizures he would have gone back to playing football. >> i'm demaryius thomas. i finally came to a decision to hang it up. >> reporter: in july 2021, thomas announcing his retirement. >> you know, whatever it's been, just been trying to find myself. ain't easy leaving football. >> him finding himself was really trying to find out what was going on with himself without them knowing what he was going through. >> yes. he was a very private person.

he didn't want people to know what was going on. >> reporter: less than six months later after having another seizure, thomas was dead. >> how did you all weigh the decision to donate his brain to be studied? >> at first i didn't want to do it. i was against it then i remembered a conversation d.t. and i had where he said, mom, if anything ever happens to me i want to help other players. >> reporter: in response to the growing number of cte cases, found in nfl players after their death, the league has developed intensive protocols for players who have or show signs of head injury and they've invested hundreds of millions in dollars in helmet and concussion research. now, dr. mckee tells us she believes they are on track to be able to diagnose cte in living players within the next five years which she says could entirely change the landscape of how this disease is addressed. guys? >> sure hope they can speed that up. >> boy, within five years would be huge. >> thank you, kaylee. we turn to the travel trouble over the holiday weekend. thousands of flights were canceled or delayed and it looks

like we could see it happen throughout the summer. gio benitez is back with a look at your rights as a passenger. hey, gio. >> reporter: hey, george. good morning again. look, you said it. it's going to be a long and frustrating summer for travelers. you almost have to become your own travel expert. so right here on "gma" we've got your travelers bill of rights. it's been one of the busiest travel periods the tsa has seen in years, screening a record number of travellers this holiday weekend with airlines delaying or canceling thousands of flights. >> i spent 600 and like 56 dollars on a ticket and now i'm still trying to find a way to get home. >> reporter: experts say the staffing issues won't be fixed until at least next year. so what are your rights? under federal law, if your flight is canceled airlines are required to give you a cash refund if you decide not to travel. >> you may have to call the airline and demand to get that cash refund rather than the voucher. >> reporter: scott keyes says if you're trying to get a refund online and want cash back, not a

voucher, be careful what you click. >> an airline might send you an email saying, we're sorry, your flight has been canceled. if you no longer want to travel, click here. we've already processed your travel voucher. you do not have to click there and accept it. >> reporter: the department of transportation also says consumers are entitled to a refund if an airline made a significant schedule change or significantly delays a flight. but if those delays are scheduled changes and caused you to miss your hotel check-in airlines do not need to pick up your tab for those bills. emily kaufman says that's where tavel insurance comes in. >> during these challenging times, you might choose the travel insurance because it cover things like trip delays, cancellations, trip interruption, lost or stolen luggage, so it really has a great pay-off. >> reporter: some good advice there and no matter what major airlines, they still aren't

charging change fees so you really can change your flight at any time for any reason. if your new flight is more expensive you will have to pay the difference. guys? >> it all sounds terrific. >> no change fee. >> thank you so much, gio. want to turn to on line influencers, budget bridal find. her tiktok post revealing she snagged her wedding dress for under $4. that post went viral. eva pilgrim is here. how much did your wedding dress -- no, i'm kidding.

>> she is. she definitely brings out, you know, the nails and it's bringing back the delicious days of "dynasty." >> what is it like bringing out that type of drama? >> for me it was rewarding, you know, because every day it's like wardrobe is absolutely fabulous. i said, how rich are we? that's what i want to know. can i break out my real diamonds or fake ones? no, please break out the big ones. back with four new movies and they'll be dropping this friday. it's exciting to become a filmmaker and grateful to lifetime movie network. >> they're great. >> yes, they are to me. they're very good to me. >> let's give everyone a look. >> we need to talk. >> what happened? he's becoming a bigger problem dead than alive. >> it's a good problem to have, i promise. >> hmm. ♪ >> you know by the music.

>> go ahead. >> no, go ahead. >> no, please, robin. >> being ep, being the executive producer of that as well -- >> how is that for me? >> yes. >> i have to answer a lot of question, robin. it seems like on a daily basis but i love it. i love the magic of making movies, how we just take something from a piece of paper and turn it into a wonderful drama like i said. we did three movies at first and left them wanting more. now we're back with four. the whole month of july is the vivica fox month. >> sending your husband to a watery grave. you say you slap people around. this is kind of a family show. >> yeah. [ laughter ] if yu like to call it that, t.j. >> how much of it is just fun? or is there something -- you see strong women and a family dynamic in the show, though. >> you do. but it's a lot of dialogue to be very honest with you to do four two-hour movies. we filmed the movies in less

than five weeks. so everybody has to show up and have their "a" game. it's directed by david decoteau, and what i love more than anything else is the fashion. i really do. i remember the days of "dynasty." love to see what they were wearing. >> four movies in five weeks. >> yes, we play no games. >> man. >> we play no games at all and part of my so wrong it's right franchise and have done over 30 films for them. >> when you're not bringing it, i'm tired just thinking about it. what do you do to relax? >> i'm a spa junkie. i love to go to the spa in los angeles. i float in my fountain of youth and then i'm headed to jamaica to celebrate with my brother and 20 friends. float in the water, thank god for another trip around the sun. >> yes, what a blessing.

we are back with henry kissinger out with a new book, "leadership: six studies in world strategy." at the age of 99 he's still active on the world stage and creating controversy with comments that drew fire from president zelenskyy. i asked about how leaders are made. >> no one in our time, i think, has met with such an intimate and substantive contact with so many world leaders and you've distilled what you've learned in the book "leadership." one big conclusion i took away from the book, it seems like you're pretty convinced that leaders are made, not born. >> i think leaders in a way make themselves and they probably have some innate qualities but i think it's probably correct to say they make themselves. >> richard nixon makes the list

despite the fact that he's the only american president ever forced to resign. how do you explain that? >> i put the fact in the first sentence. >> yes, i remember. >> of the chapter on him. nixon was a distinguished leader in foreign policy and he used an approach that was more typical of the british approach to foreign policy, that is to say, the emphasis on the balance of power and then understanding that when you have two adversaries, namely, the soviet union and china, an effort should be made to separate them and treat them differently. pick a position closer to them, each of them, than they are to each other. >> triangulation. >> triangulation. >> i interviewed you 25 years ago on the 25th anniversary of richard nixon's resignation.

we're now at the 50th an verse rh anniversary of watergate. at the time you told me about the night before he resigned where you said mr. president, history is going to treat you more kindly than the present day. do you still believe that? >> when i said to him, history will treat you better than your contemporaries that i believed that. >> it's held up? >> his foreign policy has held up and he was quite effective in domestic policy. he permitted himself to get involved in a number of steps that were inappropriate for a president and he himself has admitted that afterwards. but they were concerned with really domestic politics. >> weren't the issues of character -- >> nixon was a complicated person. but in moments of crisis, he

made courageous decisions. >> i want to ask about a recent controversy. when you were speaking to the davos group, you talked about the situation in ukraine and suggested negotiations, this was two months ago, would have to begin about now, by early july that would eventually lead to something like the situation like we had in 2014. president zelenskyy said you were appeasing. were you misinterpreting? what did you make of his response? >> he seems to agree with the outcome i mentioned. my point was that the best place for a cease-fire is to return to the status quo which is to where the war started. so then the russians would have been thwarted in their attempt to take over ukraine. the ukrainian president, what he objected to was he thought i was

saying that part of territory that the russians had occupied ten years earlier and which had been tolerated by the rest of the world should also be part of a cease-fire settlement. >> you talked about the leaders who held elective office. how about as an adviser, as a cabinet member, what prepares you? >> when i was, say, 15 in germany, it never occurred to me that someday i might be secretary of state of the united states. >> what did you think you were going to be? >> you know, i was a member of a discriminated minority. so it did not lend itself to career thinking. >> survival. >> if anything prepared me for it, it s having lived through

chaos, then having lived through the war and having seen very complex and dangerous situations and to develop the conviction that it was an extraordinary fate and, therefore, obligation to do the best i was capable of doing. >> any key decisions you would take back today? >> you know, that's a question i'm often asked. i have developed no great answer for it because i've been thinking about these problems all my life. my heart as well as my occupation so the recommendations i made were the best that i was capable. >> dr. kissinger, thank you. henry kissinger's new book, "leadership: six studies in world strategy" is available

medical student angela and throughout all of this she has to kind of discover who she is, what she wants, both in her career and through her relationships and in love as well. >> uh-huh. well, the critics are going -- look at that smile. the critics are going crazy. these are some of the adjectives, the glowing reviews you're receiving. calling it fresh, effervescent, hilarious, full of life. how does that make you feel that critics are responding like this to your debut novel? >> it is surreal. so i tell everyone, i am a solitary writer, or i was a solitary writer. >> what do you mean by that? >> i didn't tell people that i wrote. i draw as well and i shared my art very freely but my husband likes to joke he didn't even know i wrote until i got an agent. so i feel like hearing all that was so validating on many fronts and it's such an honor and i don't know. i'm just so glad that my book is

to "gma"? >> i did. i announced my "gma" visit to the world with a little cartoon. >> what? >> that's me on the side right there. >> very clever. so you just -- where does this all come from, shirlene, all these different just avenues you're exploring in life? it's wonderful. >> oh, thank you so much. i think they really inform each other. i've been drawing and writing for as long as i can remember and i feel that medicine requires you to get so deep into this humanistic side of yourself, right? you're dealing with so many traumatic situations, emotional trauma. you're watching people, unfortunately, die all the time. and i wrote "on rotation" in large part during the covid pandemic, right, and for me it was a place -- it was like a place to retreat, right, a place to find some solace and a place to experience where or process what i had been experiencing. so that's why i draw. a lot of my comics are about the medical field and about my experiences kind of through training and i love the fact that it gives people an insight into what it is we do. >> we need an outlet like that. >> yeah. >> do you have a second novel in

mind? >> i do. >> i know you're not going to share. i can tell that. but you do? >> i do, i do and i'm probably going to always write about black women in medicine. so that will be as much of a teaser as i can give. >> we'll take that. we'll take that. and you have, you know, a cheering section. your mother and your husband, the two biggest fans, what does it mean for them to be here and seeing you here talking about your debut novel? look at how beautiful your mom is and how handsome your husband is. >> i think that -- they've been supporting me throughout all of this. i've needed an immense amount of support being a fellow who has two other jobs. and they've just provided it and been with me every seven of the way. so i love and appreciate you guys. >> i love your husband doing the eyes. well, thank you and thank you for allowing me to call you
