good morning, america. thank you for joining us on this busy saturday. we're following new information coming in overnight on that shooting rampage in the capital of north carolina. five people gunned down ranging in age from 16 to their 50s. >> the 15-year-old suspect remains in critical condition this morning. officials not releasing any details on the nature of his injuries. his arrest following a crime scene that spanned two miles. >> and as it is with so many of these rampages, the question on everyone's mind is why. for the latest on the investigation, let's get right to abc's elwyn lopez in raleigh, north carolina. good morning, elwyn. >> reporter: hey, eva, good morning. that teenage suspect is hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. police say that 15-year-old was taken into custody hours after those first gunshots rang out spreading terror and chaos across east raleigh. >> active shooter. active shooter. came through with a shotgun and
7:03 am
shot my buddy. >> reporter: this morning we're learning more about the victims of the mass shooting that left five people dead in east raleigh. >> just walking in the day, nothing seems real, you know. >> reporter: tracey howard lost his wife of five years, 52-year-old nicole conners. >> just a kind person. she was a good person. she didn't deserve anything like this. >> reporter: conners was the oldest of the five killed and the youngest was just 16 years old. >> heard shots outside. i looked out my window and the neighbor is on the ground, i think. >> reporter: they died in the shooting spree around 5:00 p.m. in a residential neighborhood. police say the 15-year-old suspect shot and killed two people, then fled to a popular walking trail nearby where he allegedly gunned down more victims, later taken into custody here at 9:30 p.m. >> oh, my god. oh, she's bleeding. >> reporter: the deadly and sprawling crime scene
7:04 am
spanning over two miles. the teenage suspect finally apprehended and in critical condition. >> we do intend to seek charges as against him as an adult and to proceed to superior court with this case. >> reporter: seven people injured. five now dead. 52-year-old nicole conners, 49-year-old susan karnatz, a mother of three also killed. 34-year-old mary marshall, a navy vet now dead just days before getting married and 29-year-old off-duty police officer gabriel torres gunned down on his way to work. the youngest victim, 16-year-old james thompson, a high school junior. >> there's several families in our community waking up this morning without their loved ones. >> reporter: and, eva, a k9 officer who was brought here was treated and released.
7:05 am
another woman, a 59-year-old, is still here in critical condition. right now the motive is still unclear as to why all of this happened. eva? >> elwyn, this is yet another mass shooting in 2022by a young man, this one just 15 years old, the uvalde shooter was 18, the buffalo supermarket shooter was 18. what are experts saying about this very troubling trend? >> reporter: yeah, eva, so you're mentioning all those ages, all of them 21 or younger. now, there's no simple explanation as to why young men are more likely to engage in mass shootings. this is what some law enforcement officials are citing in terms of some of those issues, mental health, bullying, social media, access to weapons, all known issues. the fact is since 2018, six of the deadliest mass shootings were perpetrated by men 21 and younger. eva? >> incredibly troubling trend, elwyn, thank you. i'll take it from here. and this morning, incredible new video from behind the scenes at the capitol during the january 6th riot. the powerful images showing congressional leaders while the attack was under way. abc's karen travers joins us now from capitol hill.
7:06 am
and, karen, this was really an unprecedented look at history as it was unfolding. >> reporter: yeah. this new video shows real drama happening that day, congressional leaders were trying desperately to secure the capitol, and now all eyes are on former president donald trump and whether he will cooperate with congressional investigators. this morning, former president donald trump is not saying if he'll comply with a subpoena from the january 6th committee. his response to the committee's vote compelling him to testify, a blistering 14-page letter, calling their work a charade and a witch-hunt and repeating false claims of election fraud. the former president even praising the people who stormed the capitol on january 6th. in new footage obtained by cnn and shot by nancy pelosi's filmmaker daughter, alexandra, for an hbo documentary, speaker pelosi and then senate minority leader chuck schumer are seen pleading with the acting attorney general, jeffrey rosen, for help to get rioters away from the capitol.
7:07 am
>> will you get the president to make a statement to ask them to leave the capitol? >> so, as you might guess, we're coordinating this quickly. and as -- >> no, no, no, please answer my question. answer my question. >> senator, i'm going to do everything i can do. >> reporter: with the angry mob growing outside the capitol, additional clips from alexandra pelosi played as evidence at the hearing shows speaker pelosi and other congressional leaders taken to a secure location, and once the capitol was finally secured, speaker pelosi expressing worry about giving too much heads-up about lawmakers' next steps to continue the electoral college vote. >> the chamber can be used, so i'll get back to you very shortly as to whether we have a vote of confidence on once we go back it will remain secure.
7:08 am
>> this is the speaker. >> i am very concerned about giving any long-term notice to anybody that we're going back. >> reporter: the secret service now defending its actions ahead of and on january 6th. communications obtained by the january 6th committee showing agents were aware of concerns of potential violence that day. their plan is to literally kill people. please, please take this tip seriously and investigate further, read one tip received by the fbi and relayed to secret service. the january 6th committee will issue a final report. the timing on that is not clear, but the clock is ticking. if republicans take control of the house in the midterm elections, they will almost certainly disband this committee in january. whit? >> yeah. a lot of questions about what happens next. karen, thank you. so what could all this mean for former president trump and his potential legal liability for the events of january 6th? trump's lawyers are also busy on several other fronts. abc's senior investigative reporter aaron katersky is here now. and, aaron, what more does this video tell us about former president trump's activity the
7:09 am
day of the riot? >> reporter: whit, the video illustrates what many white house officials have testified, that while the former president was at the white house reveling in his supporters' ransacking of the capitol, congressional leaders were locked down and concerned the transfer of presidential authority was going to be incomplete. so they got on the phone and they called governors. they called trump cabinet officials, anybody who could bring help to a capitol under siege. but, whit, what may be more troublesome for the former president is not on that video. the committee produced evidence that trump had planned to declare victory no matter what and pressed his grievances about the election despite privately acknowledging that he lost, and prosecutors could see that as possible intent to inspire the january 6th riot. whit? >> and, aaron, at the same time former president trump is facing a number of legal battles. >> reporter: the january 6th investigation is just one of many legal issues the former president is now facing.
7:10 am
an employee at mar-a-lago has reportedly told the fbi, trump ordered him to move boxes that possibly contained classified material. the justice department has asked a federal appeals court to shut down the third-party review of seized materials, and a judge right here in new york is set to decide whether to appoint someone to monitor the trump organization's accounting practices because the attorney general in this state is concerned about ongoing fraud. eva, the legal pressure on trump is only intensifying. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. now to one of the major senate races. with the midterms just over three weeks away, a reset could determine control of the senate. republican herschel walker and democrat raphael warnock going head-to-head in a fiery debate. abc's alex presha joins us with the highlights from atlanta. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, eva. the stakes going into this debate between senator warnock and republican nominee herschel walker were incredibly high.
7:11 am
right now is the only time the two are scheduled to share the stage, and the party that wins the seat could very well control the senate. the two debated key midterm issues, the economy and inflation. walker going on the offensive early, doing his best to link warnock and president biden. the senator in his hometown of savannah last night tried to engage voters across the state. touting his upbringing and his faith. but in many ways this debate was unorthodox. at one point during a tense exchange over policing, walker got reprimanded for using a prop. he pulled out a police badge. in another instance he quoted scripture telling warnock who is also a reverend not to bear false witness, something that clearly got under warnock's skin, but it was defined by personal issues. warnock answering allegations he hasn't paid adequate child support and acknowledging he went through a divorce but saying his relationship with his two children is strong and then amid all the controversy surrounding herschel walker going into the debate, walker again denied allegations by a woman who claims she became pregnant with his child and that he paid for an abortion.
7:12 am
now, recent polling shows that the issues georgia voters find most pressing right now are inflation, abortion and then election laws. janai? >> and those voters heading to the polls soon. alex, thank you so much. turning overseas now to the uk. with a brand-new conservative government in danger of freefall after a series of political missteps. abc's lama hasan has the latest from london. good morning, lama. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you, janai. it was a dramatic day on downing street on friday. the british prime minister, liz truss, fired one of her closest political allies, her finance minister, kwasi kwarteng. weeks ago he introduced a mini budget to help the hailing economy, measures including tax cuts, but that did anything but reassure the markets causing the british pound to plunge against the dollar increasing government borrowing costs and affecting lenders, forcing them to withdraw some mortgage loans. plans to reduce taxes for the
7:13 am
highest earners were also axed, but this made little difference to the already uncertain financial markets. and then after sacking the finance minister the prime minister made a u-turn announcing she will increase corporate taxes, something that she had already scrapped, and this political upheaval comes as the nation is in the midst of a cost of living crisis in a tumultuous time. putting it simply in the last six weeks, the uk has seen two monarchs, two prime ministers and three finance ministers, many are losing faith in the prime minister, questioning her credibility. and members of her own party are asking how long could she stay on as prime minister. whit? >> lama, thank you. turning now to the war in ukraine, overnight the u.s. announcing another new military aid package for the country. the news coming as ukrainian forces continue to make slow but important gains on the battlefield. abc's britt clennett is in ukraine with the very latest. britt, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. yeah, more help for this country in its fight against russia's invasion. the white house now announcing a package worth $725 million.
7:14 am
now, it includes military vehicles and ammunition for those american-made himars, which have proven very effective on the battlefield in ukraine. now, the new aid announced just days after the heaviest attacks here we've seen in ukraine since the war began. according to russian president putin, though, there's no need for more massive strikes on this country saying, russia was not looking to destroy ukraine. but, you know, his word, hours before of the kyiv and zaporizhzhia regions were hit again overnight, and as russian forces fall back in the south, the moscow installed governor of kherson has told residents in the region to take their children and flee. meanwhile, elon musk said he couldn't indefinitely pay for ukraine's use of starlink, a satellite internet system that has become critical for ukrainian army in their fight here. eva? >> britt clennett, thank you. we turn to the new baby formula recall. abbott voluntarily pulling some two-ounce bottles that were manufactured at its columbus, ohio, facility.
7:15 am
abc's kenneth moton is here now. good morning to you, kenneth. >> reporter: good morning, eva. formulamaker abbott says its new recall affects a small fraction of its total u.s. supply, but the company and the fda are still urging parents to be on the lookout recalling certain lots of the two fluid ounce bottles of ready to feed liquid formula for infants and children. abbott says the problem, the caps on some bottles from its ohio plant may not have sealed completely and could cause spoilage. the eight recalled brands include popular similac pro total comfort, similac 360 total care and pedialyte. most of the products are pdistr hospitals and doctors' offices. abbott still trying to bounce back from that large recall and formula shortage hasn't said how many of these problem bottles are out there, only that they're less than 1% of the recall lots. for more information, the fda is asking parents to check out similacrecall.com. janai? >> appreciate the update, kenneth.
7:16 am
turning now this morning, a major merger of two massive grocery store chains, kroger agreeing to buy rival albertsons for more than $24 billion. abc's economic correspondent deidre bolton is here with what that could mean for food prices. deidre, it could be good news. >> reporter: a kroger-albertsons merger could mean cheaper prices overall but probably fewer promotions and sales. the theory is the bigger chains can offer lower prices than competitors because they'll have greater market share and more negotiating power at the wholesale level. one thing we all know, food is a lot more expensive than it used to be. this week's cpi data showed that. groceries cost more than 11% than they did a year ago and this at the combine it would have 16% of the american grocery market, would only be second to walmart. so the race is on as to where you get your groceries. keep in mind, online delivery which soared during the pandemic is expensive for stores and they hope it will help them compete

7:18 am
737 around, going back to o'hare and landing safely. no one was injured. bird strikes are more common than you may think. the faa recording about 16,000 per year, but they rarely cause any serious accidents. >> this is not a heart-stopping emergency, but it is an emergency. any time we have something going wrong with an engine, and a bird flying through it is certainly in that category. >> reporter: and those passengers were put on another plane to miami, but it's important to remember that even though it can feel like a very scary situation, it's one that pilots are trained to handle, and in this case because there were flames, these pilots took no chances. guys. >> all right, scary moments there. gio, thank you. we turn now for a check of the weather. danielle breezy from our nashville affiliate wkrn is joining us this morning. danielle, good morning to you. >> reporter: and good morning, whit. glad to be with you. got to talk about the cold and the snow that fell yesterday. take a look at this video here. this is from rice lake, wisconsin. look at those big, fat flakes that are falling on the fall

7:21 am
hours to pry him out. >> what we used was this small air bag, and it's capable of lifting over 11 tons, but it only generates so many inches of lift when it does that, so we had several other bags with us. >> reporter: then with cameras rolling, another challenge. the paramedics battling whipping winds as they attempted to hoist him to safety. the entire operation requiring the help of eight different agencies and just in the nick of time. >> he had been in there for hours and also not in the most ideal position sitting upright with some pretty traumatic injuries. >> so all things considered, ben is in stable condition. he does have some leg injuries and he's in some pain, but he's alive and with his family. they wanted us to know they are so grateful for all who came to save ben, especially those rescuers who were off-duty at the time and used their own resources. janai?

attractive terms you will get. as a consumer, shop around. that's mortgages, car loans, credit cards, anything. for example, you can call your credit card company, if you have a history, and ask for a more competitive rate. they want to keep you if you have a good credit history and will usually find some sort of incentive to make it worth your while. if the card company for some reason doesn't offer any deal definitely shop around. there are other cards out there that will offer lower rates. national average, 19.2%. that's the credit card average right now. so it is definitely worth your time to make just a few calls. and, again, read the fine print because even if you sign up for one, sometimes they will have variable rates, and in this kind of environment with the rising rate environment, you do not want variable rates. so just read the fine print, ask your questions, but there are choices out there. >> that is good to know to call up and say, hey, can i have a lower rate? >> yeah, i'm great. keep me. >> appreciate it, deidre, thank you. stick around. we'll be right back. ack. ♪♪
