in dallas a jeep brigade banded together and taking to the roads to help drivers like this black pickup not able to get any traction. air travel heavily impacted. over 1,800 flights nationwidecan sel canceled today after more than 1,900 flights canceled yesterday. you know, road crews are working around the clock to try and clear wrecks but also treat roadways. really they can't get to everything, especially roads in neighborhoods and that's what officials are most worried about. you it actually see as i step on this ice starts to crunch. there is a thin layer of this ice everywhere and it can be very deceptive. basically officials are saying if you can, stay home and stay safe. michael? >> stay home is right. thank you so much, mireya, for that. let's get more on the track and timing from ginger. good morning, ginger. >> good morning, michael. you got brownsville, texas, to caribou, maine with windchill alerts. so you know this is expansive.

we'll focus on the ice storm. san angelo, dallas-fort worth, little rock and memphis are all still involved. that ice that she was stepping on is subfreezing, obviously. so when the rain falls on that, it freezes on contact, and it creates that glaze that gets bigger and bigger and bigger and takes down power lines. if you're traveling interstate 35, oklahoma city through wichita falls, dallas, waco, austin or i-20, even 40 as you're going through little rock, please be careful. through tomorrow morning this is going to be a problem and, hey, in new york city, winter finally arrived. we got our first measurable snow of the season, the latest. so that breaks a record. january was snow-free. we've never done that on record. but february coming in and i would say hot but it is not hot, cold. we're talking super cold. look, by saturday morning, 5 below the windchill in philadelphia. 9 below in new york city. caribou should be closer to 60 below, which could be some of the coldest windchills in history. also you can get frostbite in just five minutes with those kind of windchills. george? >> oh, man.

okay, ginger, thanks very much. the latest on a thwarted mass shooting. a man with an ar-style 13 loaded magazines in a target was quickly taken down by police. andrew dymburt has the latest. >> reporter: good morning, george. police say this man opened fire with that ar-15 style rifle. more than a dozen ammunition magazines. miraculously no one was hurt or killed attributing it to their response time to avert another mass shooting. 11:59, the first urgent 911 calls flooding in. >> they heard at least six shots from inside the building. parties are running out. people are trying to hide near the pharmacy. everyone's running out of the store. >> reporter: a white male in his 30s entering this omaha target store armed with an ar rifle and several rounds of ammunition firing shots. >> my co-worker ran by, and she said, he's got a gun. get out. so i left the store. we hid behind the store. >> reporter: police mobilizing immediately arriving on the scene within minutes after those 911 calls. >> everybody in the city

good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: linsey, good morning. the family of tyre nichols is demanding justice as they prepare to bury their son. but this morning, there are a lot of questions about that initial incident report that does not mention the escalation of force against tyre. we do want to warn you, the video you are about to see is disturbing. >> if my brother was here today and he would say something, he would tell us to do this peacefully. >> reporter: this morning as the family of tyre nichols prepares for the beloved father's funeral we're learning more about the disciplinary past of the now former memphis police officers charged with his murder. the memphis police department releasing the administrative hr files of those five fired officers seen here taking turns beating nichols in that disturbing video from january 7th. >> give us your hands. >> reporter: four out of the five officers have suspensions or written reprimands on their record. none of the officers were found to have used excessive force.

demetrius haley and desmond mills jr. failed to file a response to resistance form after using physical force during arrests in 2021 and 2019 respectively. in january of 2021, justin smith receiving a two-day suspension without pay and ordered remedial driver's training for striking a vehicle causing it to spin out and strike another. and emmitt martin iii written up previously for not reporting a domestic violence case, required by law, and failing to inspect his squad car vehicle after a handgun was found on the rear floorboard. no infractions were filed for taddarius bean. >> it looks like they're wearing the blue color, that uniform where you can beat a man and then let him lay there wounded for over 20 minutes and think nothing would happen, thought no one would care. >> reporter: this, as key discrepancies emerge between an initial incident report obtained

by abc news and what we've seen from body camera and utility pole camera footage. the report stating that former officer martin observed nichols' vehicle driving recklessly at a high rate of speed and into oncoming traffic, but that officer's chief telling abc news they have not been able to verify that claim. another detail alleges nichols reached for an officer's gun and belt. >> he had his hand on my gun. >> reporter: but that wasn't clear in the video released. what is clear is nichols being punched and kicked by several law enforcement officers. the district attorney making it clear more individuals beyond those five officers could be criminally liable. >> we're just looking at everybody, you know, even people that were filing reports afterwards. >> reporter: two sheriff's deputies and two additional city police officers have been relieved of duty, and also three fire department personnel have been fired. amid the fallout, the family of the young father showing they remain committed to pursuing justice. >> justice for tyre. >> all: justice for tyre.

>> reporter: city officials say all of the video and audio from the incident will be released once the investigation is over. we understand the family has now seen that video from january 7th but they are focusing on their final good-bye. the funeral for tyre nichols will be held right here later this morning where vice president kamala harris plans to attend. george? >> okay, stephanie, thanks very much. in washington, president biden is going to meet with house speaker kevin mccarthy as he faces some new questions about a previously undisclosed fbi search of his former office. senior white house correspondent mary bruce joins us now. good morning, mary. >> reporter: george, good morning. the white house is facing if you questions about a lack of transparency. sources tell us the fbi searched the president's former private office in washington back in november after biden's lawyers found those classified documents there earlier in the month. now, no word on whether the fbi search turned up any new documents. we are told it was done in coordination with the

president's legal team, but the white house did not disclose this search to the public and they are not commenting on it now, which is sparking criticism criticism, especially after the white house did disclose that the fbi searched the president's wilmington residence just a few weeks ago, but the administration this morning insists they are being transparent and fully cooperating with investigators. >> mary, this meeting with house speaker kevin mccarthy over the debt limit? >> reporter: this is shaping up to be quite the face-off. their first in-person sit-down since republicans took control of congress. top of the agenda, this looming fight over the debt ceiling, raising this cap allows the u.s. to borrow money to pay off it's bills but speaker mccarthy is threatening not to raise the debt limit unless the president agrees to steep spending cuts. republicans haven't said what the cuts would be, what exactly they are looking for here while the president is making clear his demands going into the meeting. he wants mccarthy to commit to preventing the u.s. from defaulting on its debt and biden says he wants mccarthy to put his budget on the table, to make it clear to the american people what exactly he wants here. now, ahead of the meeting the two sides are trading jabs.

the president said mccarthy is beholden to off the wall commitments he made to the far right. mccarthy says the president is playing politics so get ready this is going to be quite a meeting. don't expect much progress here today. this is likely to take some time. >> weeks or months. we'll stay in washington and get the latest from george santos announcing he will temporarily step down from house committees as he faces multiple investigations and calls to resign. senior congressional correspondent rachel scott is on capitol hill with the story. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning. congressman george santos still resisting those calls to resign but many republicans here on capitol hill are relieved that he's stepping away from his committee assignments. this morning facing growing calls to resign, embattled congressman george santos making one concession, stepping down from his committee assignments on capitol hill. >> did mccarthy tell you to step away from the committees? >> i'm sorry, nobody tells me to do anything. >> reporter: speaker mccarthy has a razor-thin majority and has held off on criticizing santos as he faces multiple investigations. >> i think it was an appropriate

decision until he can clear everything up that he's off the committees for now. >> reporter: the congressman said he worked for goldman sachs and citigroup, he didn't. that he graduated from college, not true. that his grandparents survived the holocaust and his mother was in the 9/11 attack, all of that a lie. and this morning, abc news speaking exclusively with multiple men who say they dated santos in the past describing those relationships as toxic, saying he promised green cards and used an alias. santos did not respond to our request for comment. back in his home district, even voters who supported him say he needs to step down. >> if i can go back and change my vote, i probably would. >> reporter: a new poll finding nearly 80% of voters in his district say he should public >> i thoroughly apologize for lying about my education and embellishing the resume. i've made that very, very clear. >> reporter: in a new interview santos says he will now focus on his constituents. >> i don't think lying is

excusable ever, period. what i might have done during the campaign does not reflect what is being done in the office. >> reporter: but he remains defiant, vowing to finish his term. >> are you considering resigning? >> no, i'm not. >> reporter: one new york republican says this is a classic case of quitting before you get fired. but many republicans see this as in their best interest pushing to remove several democrats from.coms for their behavior and they certainly don't want this to seem like a double standard, george. >> okay, rachel, thanks very much. >> michael. george, now to some good news overnight about two monkeys that went missing from the dallas zoo. they have been found, but police are still looking for the person who apparently took them. will reeve is here now with more on this latest mystery at the zoo. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, michael. it is great news overnight, but the prevailing question is what is going on at the dallas zoo? multiple incidents in quick succession of what looks to be, according to police and zoo officials, someone intentionally ttininto animaenclosures.

to what end, that's the big question. who? that's a bigger one. this morning, mystery at the dallas zoo. two missing emperor tamarin monkeys found in the closet of an abandoned home. the latest in a string of suspicious incidents. dallas police telling abc news they received a tip directing them to the monkeys' location. this exclusive video obtained by wfaa shows them inside the closet being held back by fencing. >> there was no one inside the home, and the home was empty. so they cleared it, and when they opened up the closet, they found the monkeys inside. the zoo staff did come down, collect them and take them back to the zoo to be evaluated. >> reporter: the zoo saying they're thrilled beyond belief, but no arrests have been made, and the criminal investigation is ongoing. this as a new clue emerges. dallas police releasing this surveillance video taken on sunday at the zoo of who they think may have more information. zoo president gregg hudson believes it's a criminal act, and not the first one. >> it was intentional and criminal and not in the best

interest of the animals and extremely dangerous. >> reporter: earlier this month, nova, a clouded leopard, was able to escape its enclosure after it appeared to be intentionally cut open. police opening up a criminal investigation, and the zoo ramping up security. >> we've over doubled the amount of security on grounds. in our overnight hours we've added car patrols inside and outside the zoo all around the perimeter. >> reporter: nova the leopard was later found on zoo grounds unharmed, but just a day after that leopard incident, officials discovered what looked to be an intentional cut to the langur monkey enclosure. all the monkeys were accounted for. the dallas zoo is offering a $25,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and indictment of the culprit or culprits in this confounding mystery. guys? >> what a senseless crime. >> yeah. >> okay, thank you, will. coming up, alec baldwin formally charged in the deadly "rust" on-set shooting. what we've learned about the prosecution's case and dan abrams here to break it down. and the latest on the alex

murdaugh trial. stunning new details from his wife's cell phone activity around the time of her murder. but first let's get back right over to ginger. >> what do you do when the temperature is 17 below and the windchill is 35 below? you do this old trick. uh-huh. michael is like -- >> i thought you were going to say you move. [ laughter ] >> no, we love graceville, minnesota, especially when you can make that rainbow of ice when throwing up hot water. only do it when it's plenty cold because people get hurt all the time trying to do it. and there will be places you can do it this weekend. there certainly have been with the record cold temperatures earlier in the week moving east, peter sinks, utah, 62 degrees below, that is a temperature. that was the coldest in just more than a couple of decades. same thing with craig, colorado, was one since they put that in in the mid-90s. that's the coldest temperature recorded. steamboat springs has been slammed with snow, more than 300 and some inches already. but a quick look at what happens after that, michael, don't move because we're going above average. your local weather in 30 seconds.

including how the federal reserve is expected to hike rates again this afternoon. this increase is only expected to be 0.25%, the smallest since they began raising rates last march. but despite inflation easing, the fed could signal more hikes in the coming months. also, race for themi. former south carolina nikki haley expected to announce her run for president in the coming weeks. she was the u.n. ambassador under president trump and previously said she would not run against him but recently started calling for a new generation of leadership. and nfl star damar hamlin who was revived after collapsing during a game is teaming up with the american heart association to raise awareness about cpr, the buffalo bills safety released a video saying the procedure saved his life and encouraging people to learn cpr and donate to the aha and challenge others to do the same. >> to kick things off, i'm challenging the g.o.a.t.s, lebron james, tom brady and michelle obama, you've all been challenged and make sure you share your videos on social and tag me and have your hearts up. >> that's pretty good. still a lot more ahead.

the teen charged with scamming donors after allegedly faking a cancer diagnosis. that's all coming up. right now alec baldwin officially charged with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of "rust" cinematographer halyna hutchins. mohl e-mail -- mola lenghi has the details. >> reporter: prosecutors formalizing those charges as well as the film's armorer, hannah gutierrez reed. if convicted, both facing up to five years in prison. actor alec baldwin seen for the first time after involuntary manslaughter charges were filed in the shooting death of cinematographer halyna hutchins on the set of the movie "rust." new court documents filed tuesday stating baldwin failed to act to mitigate or correct the reckless safety violations, neither in his capacity as actor nor producer and that hannah gutierrez-reed, also charged with involuntary manslaughter, failed to do the same in her capacity as the film's armorer directly resulting in hutchins' death. prosecutors say video and photos from the movie set in october of 2021 show baldwin with his

finger on the trigger. the fbi concluding the trigger had to have been pulled despite baldwin insisting otherwise. >> so you never pulled the trigger? >> no, no, no, no, i would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger, never. that was the training i had. you don't point a gun at anybody and pull the trigger. >> reporter: baldwin's attorney saying mr. baldwin had no reason to believe there was a live bullet in the gun or anywhere on the movie set. gutierrez-reed saying in her deposition that baldwin was scheduled to have at least one hour of training, but instead the training session lasted only approximately 30 minutes, adding baldwin was distracted, talking on his phone to his family. >> we spent an hour and a half shooting the pistol, her giving me all her safety instructions. >> reporter: the court filing stating gutierrez-reed was not qualified to accept the job as armorer. >> everybody has to start somewhere. that doesn't mean she wasn't trained or capable of doing this job. >> reporter: her attorney speaking exclusively to abc news overnight. >> we are planning to take this to court. we are planning to go to trial. a jury is going to see hannah

for what she was. >> reporter: alec baldwin's wife hilaria posting this photo of their family on instagram thanking people for support writing, you are helping us to be stronger parents and partners during this unimaginable time stemming from such heartbreaking tragedy. baldwin's attorney insisting the actor relied upon the professionals on the set who assured him there were no live rounds in that gun. the film's assistant director david halls also charged but he took a plea deal giving him six months probation. george? >> okay, mola, thanks. let's bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams. so far this case is proving that old adage, what you say can be used against you. >> absolutely. in particular the interview he did with you. what was just played there of his statement came up again and again in the prosecutor's probable cause document. it's not really that relevant to the question of why, what happened, what was in his mind, the total circumstances, but the prosecutor seemed very focused

on the fact that he kept saying he didn't pull the trigger, and they said that they could prove that wasn't true. the fact he did that interview and a couple of others really ended up hurting him with these prosecutors. >> he's not only being charged as a person who pulled the trigger, but also as a producer. so what is the argument against him as a producer? >> the argument is that there had been other problems on the set with firearms and that they weren't remedied. it's a little unfair, i think, to blame alec baldwin as producer. the idea that he was the one dealing with all the day-to-day issues on the set. but, again, they are mentioning that. there's a section in there in the probable cause document saying that that's one of the reasons he's being charged here. >> and the documents also allege that five additional rounds were found on the set. how important is that? >> it's very important because it shows that this wasn't a single random incident. you know, there was a lot of talk initially about how did a live round get on the set? well, now it's a question about

how did six live rounds get on the set, and they were found in different places around the set as well. that does show a negligence on the part of those who were responsible for dealing with the live rounds and the dummy rounds, et cetera. that's hannah gutierrez-reed, the armorer. >> how about this evidence that baldwin did not do the proper training? >> that actually helps hannah gutierrez-reed to some degree, right? they admit that she said to him, you need to take more training before this. if you believe that, then that should help her, but they don't seem to be giving her any credit for that in connection with the case. so, yes, it's important against baldwin in the big picture here. but, no, i don't think hannah gutierrez-reed is getting any credit for it with the prosecutors. >> well, because you still have those live rounds. >> exactly, live rounds and you have a question of her not being with the gun when she was supposed to be. >> dan, always thank you for your insight, my friend. >> thank you. >> thank you.

now to fireworks at the alex murdaugh trial as a defense attorney clashed with the lead investigator over his interview with murdaugh just days after the killings. eva pilgrim is here with more including stunning new details from the wife's cell phone activity around the time of her murder. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, michael. these phones, they track a lot more than just calls and texts, when you move, when the phone moves, face i.d. attempts and the state is using phone data to create a time line as they square off in court. after a standoff in the courtroom, new questions this morning over whether alex murdaugh incriminated himself during an interview with police. the defense grilling an investigator over what he heard murdaugh say describing paul's death days after the murders. >> it was just so bad. did him so bad. >> now, are you 100% confident alex said, i did him so bad rather than they did him so bad? >> i'm 100% confident in what i heard and i interpreted him as saying. >> reporter: that investigator

saying he made a mental note, but the defense pressing him on why he didn't ask murdaugh to clarify what he said. >> you never followed up with it, did you? >> reporter: murdaugh's team playing the clip again, slowing it down. >> -- did him so bad. did him so bad. >> did you hear they then? >> no, sir, i did not. >> reporter: now, this morning a phone forensic expert expected back on the stand after leaving the courtroom on a cliffhanger tuesday as he created a time line based on texts, calls and steps recorded on maggie's phone seen here in these newly released images. according to phone records, maggie talked on the phone with a friend at 7:50. at 8:17 her phone moved recording steps. at 8:30 more steps. then at 8:49 she read a text, part of a family group chat. then her phone locked for the rest of the night, but it didn't stop moving.

and the white house continues to be adamant they are being transparent and say fully cooperating with this investigation, george. >> want to go back to ginger. she's tracking it all. >> good morning to you, george. more than 200,000 customers in texas without power because of this ice storm so far this week. more than 1,400 flights already canceled. here's the problem. interstate 40 west of memphis, it was shut down because so many accidents. when you've got that light glaze on the roads, people don't see it, the power lines come down and then it starts to get heavier and heavier. and we're going to keep seeing rounds of the freezing rain and sleet and eventually even some snow and rain. i'll explain that. but you are seeing the pictures where the ice hangs off. that is created by rain, right? it looks deceiving. looks like it's just raining but it falls and freezes on contact. that's where you get that ice skating rink deal. that's what you could see throughout the afternoon along i-35 or i-20, i-40, oklahoma city to little rock and memphis still involved in this through tomorrow morning. then we'll start to see this move on.

of 9. and what they found was that the babies who had the most screen time, about two hours a day by the age of 12 months, did the worst on attention and memory testing by age 9. >> two hours does seem like a lot, but what do parents do? it's so hard. >> well, listen, first, let's go to the recommendations by the academy of pediatrics. they are crystal clear. from birth to age 2, zero, no screen time, and then starting from 2 to 5, one hour a day maximum if that is supervised by a caregiver, and then i think as these children get older, and this occurs even when you have kids my age, college age, there are some other tips that are just really important. when you talk about meal time, no phones at the table for meals or family gatherings. stopping that screen time one hour before bedtime is really important. keeping those phones or screens out of the bedroom when sleeping, and then we have to lead by example. >> but you were talking about older kids. it's not all negative. right?

>> no, it's not, and there's mixed data on this. parents can go to commonsensemedia.org for some data and tips, but there are some studies that suggest with older children, particularly adolescents, that there could be some social or emotional advantages. so it's really not only how much, it's what our children and teenagers are consuming on the screen that really makes a big difference. >> i think what you said, we have to lead by example, right? it's not easy. >> exactly. all right, thanks, jen. to you.ger, we'll send it over - >> now, i keep talking about saturday morning, how brutal the cold will be but really the windchill alerts start thursday night. look at the numbers. 17 the feels like i drew: i am abc7 news meteorologist drew tuma with your accuweather forecast. to start this morning leading tl ar not as chilly. we were going to the 30's and

>> how crazy it was that these great entertainers could sell out the showroom, help the casino be successful because of those people and yet couldn't stay there. couldn't gamble. couldn't have family come see the show. >> reporter: segregation was the rule in vegas as it was throughout most of the country. in this rare archival video, abc news spoke to sammy davis jr. about the difficulties he faced. >> you couldn't get a room where you were working at. >> no. you could work the place. we couldn't even eat in the place. >> reporter: performers like sammy davis jr., lena horne and josephine baker all spoke out against the discrimination they endured, but their push for equality combined with the longtime work of civil rights organizations like the naacp made a difference. in 1971 change would come by way of an important legal agreement. >> so people at the naacp put together a consent decree.

the consent decree then demands 12% of jobs in a whole array of job categories for the african american community. >> reporter: that decree opened the door for people like jackie brantley who became the first black female executive on the strip. >> i was the director of advertising and public relations at the desert inn hotel. i loved being in that spot because it was going to open doors for other black people. >> reporter: today casinos host black artists and superstars who perform night after night to sold-out crowds like grammy award winner usher. >> usher presents a brand-new las vegas residency. >> to see the type of progress that we in america have as minorities is good. there's so much more that we need to address, though. >> reporter: and so this special shares incredible barrier breaking stories like during her

1952 tour when josephine baker got to vegas and said that she wouldn't perform unless there were people of color in the audience. they had to scramble to make it happen at a time when that didn't happen. so i think it's going to be fascinating. so excited to watch. >> yeah, really looking forward to it. thank you, janai.
