>> those drones do really look cool. good morning, america. happy fourth of july. thanks for being with us on this holiday. great to be here with whit and juju. >> good to be with you. some people getting the party started earlier today. the celebrations have already begun in some parts of the country, like these beautiful fireworks overnight in johns creek, georgia. >> i love fireworks. and also people squeezing in one more day barbecuing before heading home for the long weekend. laguardia airport is quiet now, but millions are expected to take to the skies and roads later today and tomorrow, and we will have the best and the worst times to leave. >> important information. we do have a lot to cover this morning, but first let's get right to that breaking news from overnight. at least five people killed in another mass shooting, this time in philadelphia, after a gunman armed with an ar-15 and wearing tactical gear opened fire. mona kosar abdi is on the scene for us this morning. mona, good morning to you. >> whit, good morning. police just cleared the scene
7:04 am
moments ago, but it was here in this residential kingsessing neighborhood that the alleged shooter opened fire, seemingly targeting people at random. he was then arrested in this alley behind me, just two blocks from where the shooting happened. police recovered three guns, including that ar-15 rifle. overnight, horror in the kingsessing section of philadelphia after a gunman armed with an ar-15 and wearing tactical gear opened fire. >> all we know is that this person decided to leave their home and to target individuals. >> the first calls for help coming around 9:00 p.m. >> multiple shots fired. >> all units use caution. >> once officers arrived, another round of gunfire leading them to the suspect, who was quickly arrested, according to police. >> once he was cornered in the alley, the officers gave him commands to show his hands, and they were able to get him into custody. we recovered his rifle and another firearm. >> among the victims who survived, two children ages 2 and 13. officials say they are currently in stable condition this morning. >> we unfortunately have six
7:05 am
victims here, but it could have been more, had it not for the officers. >> according to law enforcement, the alleged gunman was wearing a bulletproof vest and also had a police scanner on him. >> we have a male walking around with a rifle and a mask. all units use caution. >> authorities say they haven't identified a connection between the suspect and the five killed, believed to be between the ages of 16 and 59. authorities are seeing the shooting involves multiple scenes, covering a two by four block radius, and 50 spent shell casings were found. they are canvassing the area for witnesses and camera footage that could help shed light on what happened last night. >> again, that suspect is now in custody as authorities try to piece together his motives. >> as many get ready to gather for the fourth of july, police departments are on high alert. aaron katersky is here in new york. good morning, aaron. >> linsey, good morning to you. as americans gather for those independence day celebrations, police are most worried about the unpredictable nature of the
7:06 am
nation's gun violence epidemic. it's claiming lives in every corner of the country, whether philadelphia last night, dallas last night, a baltimore block party over the weekend strafed with gunfire. last year, a mass shooting at the highland park, illinois, july 4th parade. there are no specific or credible threats to july 4th events this year, but a new security assessment from the nypd that we obtained here at abc news says these celebrations remain attractive targets for opportunistic attacks by violent extremists and malicious actors. so thousands of officers are going to be here along the east river for the nation's largest fireworks show, and macy's is promising a jaw-dropping display that's going to fill the night sky with color, light, shape, and thunderous sound. and here on the ground, it's going have to happen under tight security. juju? >> aaron katersky, a lot to look forward to.
7:07 am
thank you. now to severe weather on the move and dangerous heat, as well, as many get ready to celebrate the fourth of july outside. sam champion gets us ready for all of it. good morning to you, salmon. >> and want to show you this, this is wind-driven rain out of kentucky near lexington. how did they get this video? leaning out the car window to kind of get a shot of what it's like. at least you have the protection of the car as other cars go by. 96 mile-per-hour winds and other storms in wyoming. here we are headed into a holiday, and we've got bad weather all over the country. this morning, sweltering heat and severe storms dampening celebrations for millions of americans on this fourth of july. cleanup now underway in chicago after the city saw a record-setting rainfall sunday, up to 9 inches in a matter of hours, with flash flooding. homes and businesses swamped with pools of water, and thousands left without power. >> it looks around 10-12 feet right now of water. just in the basement alone.
7:08 am
>> i just saw it was flooded up to the stairs. >> severe storms likely again as the system moves through the south and east. meanwhile, in tennessee, power lines and trees ripped down. this driver in north carolina narrowly escaping injury after intense wind and rain snap a tree on top of her windshield. and further north and west, it's the heat. >> the sun really is a killer out here, you know? >> temperatures soaring into triple-digits in parts of the southwest. 36 million americans now under heat alerts from washington to florida. now, we've all got plans, so let's take some time to talk about these storms. along the i-95 corridor here, this is after 1:00 in the afternoon as we head into the evening hours. look at that line of storms near new york area airports, also near boston area airports and in rhode island, as well. they die down in the evening hours, but look what fires up in the nighttime hours. near washington, d.c., a little bit south of philly, into baltimore, as well. so watch that line of storms in the evening.
7:09 am
we have got a brand-new line of storms that comes out of canada dropping into the plains. this is likely to get super active and a little bit dangerous, damaging winds and hail, to omaha. look at where those storms are during the day today. chicagoland, you are fine. you don't have any problem with the fireworks, no problem with your outdoor activity. but during tomorrow, if that's your travel time, this line shifts a little bit to the south and east, so we are in it. st. louis, paducah, springfield, fort smith, oklahoma city, as well. damaging winds, large hail. so this is the setup for the travel home that's likely to be a problem in some parts of the country. but if your flights go in and out of here, it's a problem for you. whit? >> we will stay on top of it, sam. thank you so much. now to the holiday travel crush, millions of people planning to head home tomorrow after the long weekend. trevor ault is at laguardia airport here in new york with the latest. trevor, good morning. >> good morning, whit.
7:10 am
you know, they always say, if you want to avoid the crowds, the best day to travel is on the holiday itself, so if you have a flight booked today, it should hopefully be smooth sailing, though we know this week has really been pretty packed. tsa says, from thursday to sunday, they screened 10.7 million passengers. that's an average of about 2.7 million a day. they have set records at several airports and, as we have reported, they say friday was the single busiest day ever for tsa screenings. of course, the worst part of any holiday vacation is when the holiday is over you have to head back home, and that means tomorrow is likely going to be very busy once again. the faa says there's going to be nearly 50,000 domestic flights, that's almost 20,000 more than there are today. and, as always, the weather could be a factor. those storms that sam is tracking, those could cause some delays. even yesterday, with reduced airport crowds in the midst of all those storms, there were still nearly 5,000 flight delays across the country. so, if you are traveling tomorrow in the midst of all those crowds, as always, it's a good idea to try to get here early and give yourself extra time to weave through all the people, and hopefully you have
7:11 am
some flexibility in case your flight time does change. whit? >> make sure to plan ahead. all right, trevor, thank you. now to the roads expected to be packed this afternoon and tomorrow. alex perez is in chicago with the best and worst times to leave. alex, good morning. >> hey, good morning, whit. we are breaking all kinds of travel records this summer, and that means on the road you can expect to have company today and especially tomorrow. a record 43.2 million people will be on the roads traveling for the fourth on this long holiday weekend. if you're on the move today, experts say the worst time to get on the road would be between noon and 3:00 p.m. to try to avoid congestion tomorrow, the advice is to get on the road before 2:00 p.m. fueling the record number of motorists, well, the average price of fuel, which is down dramatically from $4.81 at this point last year to $3.52 this year. now, take a look at this map. the highest gas prices are out west and here in illinois.
7:12 am
the lowest, across the south. so, if you are traveling today, experts recommend you get on the road before 11:00 a.m., or wait until after 6:00 p.m. linsey? >> we've got to wait until after "gma" at least. alex, thank you. overseas to the violence in the middle east, where dozens of palestinians have been injured or killed in israel's biggest raid in the west bank in nearly two decades. marcus moore has the very latest. good morning, marcus. >> linsey, good morning. this raid is now in its second day, and we know that at least eight people are dead in jenin and dozens of others are hurt as the situation unfolds in the west bank. this morning, new reports of gunfire, drone strikes, and explosions rocking the town of jenin, in what is now israel's most intense military operation in the occupied west bank in some two decades. after a series of drone strikes, more than 2,000 israeli soldiers
7:13 am
entered the refugee camp monday, targeting "terrorist infrastructure," according to the israeli military. a spokesperson saying the raid uncovered dozens of iuds, explosives, and rockets. palestinian health officials say dozens have been injured, as black smoke rose from a neighborhood that is home to roughly 40,000 people. one resident saying there were strikes and bombs. it was like world war iii. and first responders from the group palestinian red crescent also saying they were having difficulty getting to the injured, some forced to walk on foot because the israeli military destroyed roads. there are obviously concerns that this raid could lead to further escalation, and this morning hamas is claiming responsibility for an apparent attack in tel aviv this morning. we have seen video of the aftermath, a car ramming into six pedestrians, critically injuring three of them in what could be the first retaliation to this raid in the west bank. juju? >> the tension continues. marcus moore, thank you. back here at home, new fallout
7:14 am
from the supreme court striking down affirmative action. civil rights groups are now taking aim at harvard's legacy policy, saying it discriminates against people of color. erielle reshef is here with the latest. good morning, erielle. >> good morning to you, juju. just days after that supreme court ruling turning over affirmative action in college admissions, several civil rights organizations are now banding together to petition the federal government to force harvard to stop giving preferential admissions to children of alumni and those who give large donations. the civil rights groups say the practice violates the federal civil rights law because it benefits white applicants, and disadvantages students of color. the complaint claiming nearly 70% of harvard's donor-related and legacy applicants are white, and they receive a substantial boost based on their status. the groups say that preferential treatment has nothing to do with an applicant's merit. instead, it is an unfair and unearned benefit that is conferred solely based on the family the applicant is born into. the complaint notes that many
7:15 am
colleges and universities are weighing whether to ditch legacy admissions altogether. some, like the university of california, amherst college, johns hopkins university, and mit already have, and harvard is declining to comment. guys? >> that fallout continues. erielle, thank you. >> and, across the country this morning, many will be celebrating the fourth of july with fireworks tonight, but some cities are starting a new tradition now and using drones instead. janai norman has the story. janai, this is for good reason, too. >> it is, whit. it's taking everything in me not to say, "baby, you're a firework." isn't that what katy perry said? [laughter] >> nobody's ever said that to me. >> it's a tradition with all associated with the fourth of july as long as we can remember. now competing with an industry that didn't exist even ten years ago, drone light shows seen by many as an environmentally friendly alternative to fireworks. it's the fourth of july tradition being blown up by
7:16 am
technology. drone shows replacing fireworks displays in parts of the country. drones already drowning out fireworks at this year's super bowl and multiple new year's celebrations. the alternative choice is a costly one. a small drone show could come with a big price tag upwards of $20,000, compared to less than half that for fireworks. but in cities coast to coast some plagued by smoke and air pollution, pyrotechnics are being seen as a less explosive idea. >> thousands of americans are going to look up into the night sky this july 4th and see something they've never seen before, and that is a drone show. they are safer, more energy efficient, and less noisy than fireworks. so i think you might see drone shows either replace or accompany fireworks. >> in california, lake tahoe and la jolla are both opting for a
7:17 am
fourth of july drone show. boulder, colorado, citing climate change-fueled fire dangers as a reason for drones there, and salt lake city officials saying the city is choosing drones to be conscientious of both our air quality and the potential for wildfires. >> so the thing about fireworks is it's not just the visuals, but the sounds. that screech and the pop, that's also a hallmark of the holiday. drones just don't have that. galveston, texas, used drones last year, and they are now pivoting back to blasting out fireworks this year. linsey, i guess they want that old thing back. >> they want that red, white, and boom! [laughter] janai, thank you. also this morning we are all feeling the red, white, and blue and many are hoping to feel the green, too. the powerball drawing now is at $546 million after no one matched all six numbers last night. you can try again tomorrow, and if you don't want to wait that long, the mega millions jackpot tonight is up to $400 million. >> you can't win if you don't play! >> that's right! coming up, as millions head to the beach this fourth of july,
7:18 am
the new warning about shark encounters after a teen was bitten here in new york. some towns are turning to drones in order to try to protect people. will reeve is on it. >> yeah, good morning, linsey. beaches across america are monitoring for sharks by land and by air. there will be more lifeguards on patrols this fourth of july holiday, and drones for an eye-in-the-sky view of those apex predators. we have more on that coming up. juju? >> thanks, will. also ahead, new details on the investigation into that scary roller coaster crack. what we are learning about that this morning. it's just jaw-dropping. >> and the best fourth of july sales happening right now, and the big sales to wait for. first let's go back to sam. good morning. >> shopping may be a way to beat the heat, guys. we have a lot of it, so let's talk about that. this gorgeous shot is by lauderdale by the sea. i don't even care that it's hotter than the sun there, because it is so beautiful. we start with the heat index level already near 90 degrees. if you try to get in the water,
7:19 am
in that area there are some rip current advisories out, orlando is going to 108 today. this western activity, a fire already near fresno in that area. we haven't had a lot of fires, but we are just now cranking up the heat. i think we will start to see more. look at the temperatures we are facing today. that's the weather around the nation. here's what you can expect this morning. drew: time drew tuma with the accuweather forecast. overcast skies leading to sunshine away from the coast in the afternoon. temperatures pretty close to
7:20 am
average for this time of year. later on tonight the fog returns. for any fireworks we will have fog along the coast and across the city. numbers are dropping to the 50's. cooling trend continues into the end of the week. we will have a minor warmer for the back cap of the weekend. -- back half of the weekend. >> stay with us. we have the best summer travel hacks for families. my skin and joints, i'm feeling this moment. along with clearer skin skyrizi helps me move with less joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue. and is just 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine, or plan to. there's nothing like clearer skin and better movement-and that means everything! ask your doctor about skyrizi today. learn how abbvie could help you save.

8:06 am
day of screenings in history for the tsa. as everyone heads back from their vacations, wednesday could be a busy day. the faa says nearly 50,000 flights, that's almost 20,000 more than they have scheduled today. we also know many millions more people are going to be driving for the fourth of july. the estimates are 43.2 million americans on the road this holiday week. it's a massive amount of people. it means there's going be some traffic jams. if you're driving somewhere today, the worst congestion, experts say, is going to be from noon until 3:00 p.m. if you are driving home tomorrow, you want to avoid the worst crowds and you want to get on the road before 2:00 p.m. but we've got to remember, with holidays, with holiday travel comes holiday crowds. plan on it taking a little longer than it usually does, and remember, there is literally no downside to packing yourself a hot dog for the road. juju?
