confrontation. >> special call, special call, medic 66. code 3. male is 82. >> reporter: police praising the operator's instincts and quick action. >> she basically figured out that there was something more to this incident than what she was being told. her actions, in my opinion, resulted in both a higher priority dispatch and a faster police response. i think this was life saving. >> reporter: officers arriving around 2:30 a.m. to find pelosi and the suspect both grappling with the hammer. moments later watching the attack unfold. >> mr. depape immediately pulled the hammer away from mr. pelosi and violently attacked him with the hammer. the officers immediately entered, tackled the suspect, disarmed him. >> reporter: police arrested 42-year-old david depape after he allegedly broke into their home through a sliding glass door early friday morning. officials believe speaker pelosi was the intended target. law enforcement sources tell abc news, the suspect entered

shouting, where's nancy? where's nancy? speaker pelosi was in d.c. during the attack rushing to the west coast friday to be at her husband's side. the suspect's alleged online social media pages show multiple false conspiracy theories relating to covid-19, the 2020 election and the federal government. the pelosis' house has been targeted before. their garage vandalized in january 2021. the speaker of the house receiving an outpouring of bipartisan support. >> this is despicable. there's no place in america -- there's too much violence, political violence, too much hatred, too much vitriol. >> reporter: senate minority leader mitch mcconnell tweeting he is horrified and disgusted. >> reporter: the suspect, david depape, facing multiple felony charges including attempted homicide, burglary and assault with a deadly weapon. he is scheduled to be arraigned n court tuesday. janai? >> just incredibly disturbing. mola, thank you. and threats against lawmakers have skyrocketed in

the past five years, and speaker pelosi has been a popular target with extremist groups. abc's senior investigative reporter aaron katersky is here now. aaron, good morning to you. what are we learning this morning about the suspect? >> reporter: janai, good morning. he's 42 years old. the fbi has been interviewing people who know the guy as they work to figure out a motive for this attack. his social media posts suggest somebody steeped in all the racist, anti-semitic conspiracy theory, rhetoric about the pandemic, falsehoods about the election and, you're right, speaker pelosi has long been demonized by extremists, a target for political anger. remember all those rioters chanting her name on january 6th just like this suspect who shouted, where's nancy, when he broke into her home. >> one of the most disturbing parts, and this raises so many questions about security. what kind of security would the speaker have around her and her home and could it change depending where she is? >> it may change a little going forward. as speaker of the house she is guarded by a protective detail from the u.s. capitol police.

now, that does not extend to family, but after this attack, sources told abc news the capitol police is considering adding family members to the protective detail because the number of threats to members of congress has doubled in the last five years. just yesterday right here in new york, a pennsylvania man pleaded guilty to threatening to kill california congressman eric swalwell. that guy now faces up to 20 years in prison. >> and, aaron, just days out before the midterms and this comes at a time of heightened concern. >> a little more than a week from the midterms and the counted is experiencing what law enforcement officials describe as a sustained threat of mass casualty attacks and targeted violence. in fact, the department of homeland security has been warning that extremists pose a heightened threat to the midterms. their graphic and toxic online content is morphing into real world danger, janai. >> all right. aaron, thank you so much for that update. eva? and speaking of the midterms we turn to "your voice, your vote." the midterms just ten days away and officials are warning of that heightened threat of

violence due to perceptions of election fraud. this comes as big names from both sides of the aisle are now hitting the campaign trail. abc's white house correspondent maryalice parks joins us from capitol hill this morning. maryalice, good morning. >> reporter: eva, good morning. federal law enforcement agencies and officials are on high alert ahead of the midterm elections. the security of voters, poll workers and public officials top of mind. this morning, abc news obtaining a joint intelligence bulletin from the fbi and department of homeland security warning domestic violent extremists pose a heightened threat that perceptions of election fraud or dissatisfaction with the outcome could result in violence. this after states like arizona have already seen worrying signs of organized voter intimidation. across the country officials now looking for more measures to keep voting safe. this as both parties make a final push to get out the vote. >> let's be clear, this election is not a referendum.

it's a choice, a choice between two vastly different visions of america. >> reporter: both president biden and vice president kamala harris on the ground in pennsylvania rallying around democratic senate candidate john fetterman whose race could decide control of the senate. calling him the kind of fighter they need in washington. across the country, from nevada to arizona, new hampshire and georgia, incumbent democratic senators defending their seats in increasingly tight races. democrats rolling out big names to try to boost turnout. georgia senator raphael warnock and gubernatorial candidate stacey abrams both getting a hand from former president obama who remains incredibly popular. top republican senators too descending on the peach state making their final case for republican senate candidate herschel walker. >> america is in crisis. here's my second point.

revival is coming. >> reporter: president biden plans to vote early in delaware today. and he's not alone. this is voting season. already more than 18 million americans have voted early, either in person or sent in their mail-in ballots. just huge numbers ahead of election day, whit. >> maryalice parks, our thanks to you. let's go ahead and turn to our congressional correspondent rachel scott who is standing by at the midterm monitor. rachel, good morning. so let's start with the senate. democrats have a razor thin majority there. lay out the stakes for us. >> well, it doesn't get any more high stakes than this because this is exactly what we're talking about, the senate is split 50/50. this means that republicans only need to net one seat on election night in order to gain control of the senate. now, let's take a look at the map here. what you're going to see is that there are 35 senate seats up for grabs. what i have highlighted for you right now are the key battleground races we're paying the most attention to here.

president biden was campaigning right there in pennsylvania. you heard maryalice's report that former president barack obama also hitting the campaign trail. he was actually in georgia campaigning in college park. this is going to be a key area right here near atlanta. this is all about turning out the vote, voter enthusiasm. president biden was the first democrat to win this state in nearly 30 years, but his approval ratings are low, hence, why you're sending in some political firepower like barack obama. democrats will want to turn out support in very key counties like this, washington county, president biden won this county by less than one percentage point. this is a complete dead heat in the senate when we're talking about georgia so every vote matters. >> anything can happen. if we're looking at the balance of power as a whole, let's turn to the house now where republicans are more confident. what are you watching for? >> this is the current makeup of the house right now. the headline here is that republicans only need to net five seats by the end of the night in order to flip control of the house. we've already done the hard work for you and we've identified the

key battleground races here. unlike the senate, all 435 seats in the house are up for grabs every two years, but we've taken a look at some of the most competitive races. control of the house will be decided between what you are seeing on your screen right now, and i just want to point you to how much defense democrats are going to be playing on election night right here. fivethirtyeight predicts it could be a good night for republicans, janai. >> rachel, as you said, every vote counts. thank you so much. the economy top of mind for many voters, and the news isn't so good. new data released by the commerce department on friday showed that prices for most goods and services rose by more than 6% in september from 12 months earlier. the fed now expected to raise its key short-term interest rate for a fourth time next week to try and keep the rising prices under control. now to what the cdc is calling the worst flu season in 13 years, and it is only just starting. many hospitals being pushed to their limits by the triple virus threat of flu, rsv and covid. abc's phil lipof has more.

>> reporter: this morning, the cdc says hospitals already struggling to treat pediatric patients with respiratory illnesses are now reporting hospitalizations for the flu at the worst level in more than a decade. >> the hardest hit states in the south, but that is a signal for the months to come in the northeast, especially where we'll get hit likely with a really tough flu season. >> reporter: at least 12 states now reporting moderate or high levels of flu activity, and experts say it's hitting the most vulnerable. children 4 and younger and adults 65 and older. this early flu season especially concerning with the recent surge of rsv cases. texas is one of five states where pediatric hospital beds are topping 90% capacity. whit johnson at texas children's this week. >> what worries me is the fact that we're seeing flu increase. that's my biggest worry right now. what does that look like two weeks down the road? >> reporter: in maine doctors say it's a perfect storm. >> we cannot afford to have rsv,

influenza and covid all hitting our hospital systems at the same time. >> reporter: the parents of 8-month-old missouri twins cameron and carson say their sons' rsv symptoms came on fast, sending them both to the nicu. >> his fingertips and his lips were turning blue, and at that point i told her, call 911. it's very hard. i mean, they're so young. i wish it was me laying in the bed instead of them. >> reporter: it's scary for any parent, and what parent hasn't said, i'd rather be in that position than my child. because you don't want them to feel sick. you don't want them to be in danger. look, the flu season happens every year. there is no magic bullet. doctors say, best advice, keep up with your vaccines. whit? >> all right, phil, thank you. we do turn now to elon musk settling in as twitter's new owner. his first day on the job, full of changes, and now the question is, what lies ahead? abc's business and economics correspondent deidre bolton is here with more. deidre, good morning. >> good morning, whit. billionaire elon musk wanted

twitter, didn't want twitter, maybe wanted twitter, but now he owns and will run it along with running tesla and spacex. within hours of taking control of the social media company, he tweeted out, the bird is freed. fired the ceo, the cfo, twitter's head of legal and policy who oversaw content moderation and several other executives. musk describes himself as a free speech absolutist. he says he does not believe in a permanent ban on users, so it's really unclear if those who have been kicked off, such as former president trump, will be allowed back on the platform. musk tweeting to say, no changes have been made yet to twitter's content moderation policies. in the meantime, some twitter users are reporting losing thousands of followers. unclear if elon musk has asked engineers to do so-called bot cleaning, an issue that musk has spoken out repeatedly or if people are deactivating their accounts in protest. at least one advertiser,

tesla competitor, gm carmaker saying it's pulling ads from the platform until they, quote, understand the direction of the platform under new ownership. guys? >> so many changes. deidre, thank you. turning overseas now to the war in ukraine. kyiv struggling with blackouts in the country's largest cities affecting millions of people, and moscow saying for now at least president putin's government will not need to call up more reservists. let's get the latest from ukraine now with abc's tom soufi burridge in kyiv. tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, janai. news just in ukraine this morning appears to have launched an attack in crimea. a russian official saying naval assets on the peninsula came under attack from drones, and a senior ukrainian official claiming the attack struck a russian warship. a ukrainian lawmaker who also fights in the military telling abc news that ukraine is facing an incredibly tough fight right now in hot spots in eastern ukraine saying casualties on the ukrainian side are mounting. the ukrainians' offensive in the south for now at least seems to have stalled. officials saying the rainy season making it hard for

shooting. they each face four counts of involuntary manslaughter, and prosecutors say that they're the ones who enabled their son in the attack. the prosecutors' plan here is to use mass shooting experts to argue that this massacre was preventable. a forensic pathologist testified in court saying that mass shooters often have this kind of slow build towards violence over time and that usually there are warning signs. prosecutors say the crumbleys ignored those signs from their troubled son and rather than getting him mental help, they bought him a gun. lawyers for the crumbleys saying the crumbleys had no way of knowing that their son would carry out such an attack. now all of this is said to be in the jury's hands. the trial set for january 17th and, whit, the outcome of all of this could determine and set the tone for how these mass shooting cases are handled moving forward. >> a lot of people watchng this closely. morgan, thank you. we do want to turn now and get a check of the weather and cheryl scott from our chicago station wls is out there in

welcome back to "gma" and buckle up because it is your ha opinion to the faa about -- sorry, i'm trying to feel my buckle here. about how you feel about squeezing into those airline seats. but this isn't about comfort. it's a matter of safety and the best way to evacuate an airplane. from the tight legroom to squeezing into those middle seats, many passengers have had enough as airplane seats have gotten progressively smaller, but the faa wants to hear all

about it giving americans up until november 1st to comment on those nagging airline woes. >> most planes are not comfortable to begin with. >> give me just a little bit more on the waistline. >> reporter: more than 20,000 people have already submitted feedback. this will help the faa create new federal standards for seat sizes with minimum dimensions of passenger seats that may be necessary for safety including in particular airplane evacuations. among some of the ideas, one passenger writing, please make seats at least 36 inches wide. another saying, the recommended seat size should be the same as first class. kayla logan, a recent air canada passenger, took to tiktok with her criticism. >> this is the seat right now. >> wasally eye opening to me that i didn't fit into these spaces. there was going to be no way that i was accommodated, and it felt like my body wasn't welcome
