7:06 am

7:07 am
racially motivated shooting at tops supermarket in buffalo, new york, which left ten people dead and wounded three others. and this morning, abc news learning the alleged gunman may have also planned to target a nearby historically black university. a edward waters security guard spotted him near the library and that guard engaging and forcing the alleged shooter to drive away. >> we feel tremendously blessed that this crisis did not extend to the edward walker university campus. >> reporter: the white house says that president biden has been briefed and florida governor ron desantis has called this shooting a very cowardly act. gio? >> gio: alex, thank you. joining us now is the sheriff of jacksonville, t.k. waters. sheriff waters, thank you so much for joining us here on "gma." last night you said you had not been able to identify the shooter. are you any closer this morning? >> yeah, we're very close. we were close late last night. i should have some results today to release to the public. >> gio: okay, and we'll be watching for that, and you say
7:08 am
this was a racially motivated crime, that there were swastikas on the shooter's guns, and you also found some of his writings. what can you tell us about those? >> they were quite frankly writings of a madman. they were the rather liberal use of the "n" word several times. it was clear that his crimes were motivated by wanting to -- wanting to shoot black people, which is quite unfortunate because it's not a representative of our community at all, and quite disturbing, but we're making our way through that, and continuing to investigate the causes of this incident. >> gio: and, you know, there was a chilling story we heard overnight. we learned that earlier that night there was an encounter between the shooter and a campus security officer over at edward waters university. that's an hbcu, a historically black university, but he left that campus, and then went to dollar general where of course, he carried out that shooting. do you have any idea why he left
7:09 am
and instead chose the store? >> from what i know right now, it appears -- excuse me. it appears he just went there and put on his vest, his bullet proof vest, put a mask on, and got in his vehicle and went to dollar general. i think he was looking for the first place he could stop that was occupied and to commit this horrific act. >> gio: that campus security officer perhaps saving countless more lives. sheriff waters, thank you for joining us here. our hearts are with your community of course, and we thank you for all you do. >> thank you very much. thanks for having me. >> gio: absolutely. take care, sir. will? >> will: all right, gio. thanks. turning now to the heat setting new records in the south. more of them as things also heat up in the tropics. abc's somara theodore is here with more. somara, good morning to you. >> somara: good morning, will. let's start with the heat. historic heat continuing throughout the gulf coast states. excessive heat warnings from texas into louisiana. new orleans could actually hit 102 degrees. their all-time high for the
7:10 am
third time in a week. now it's not just hot on land. it's also hot over the water. the gulf of mexico right now, record average water temperatures is what we're seeing, 88 degrees. that only helps to fuel these storms that develop out there. speaking of which, we could have tropical storm idalia by this afternoon, and it could strengthen to a category 1 hurricane upon landfall in florida. right now that track zone looking anywhere between panama city and tampa. some of the biggest impacts, 3 to 6 inches of rain from tallahassee, florida, into wilmington, north carolina. they have hurricane-force winds as well as storm surge upon landfall. again, a lot of this happening as we head into next week. right now timing on potential landfall would be wednesday. that's a look at the forecast. gio, back to you. >> gio: all right, and we know you'll be tracking the tropics. thank you, somara. now to the latest indictment involving president trump related to the alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election. his former chief of staff, mark meadows, is now trying to get the case moved to federal court.
7:11 am
abc's karen travers is in washington now with more on what that means. good morning, karen. >> reporter: gio, good morning. a hearing tomorrow in georgia could give new details about the case against former president donald trump and his 18 alleged co-conspirators accused of an effort to overturn his election loss in georgia. the trump campaign says it raised $7.1 million since thursday night when his mug shot was released. the trump campaign says friday was its best fund-raising day of this election cycle. all 19 defendants in the georgia case have now turned themselves in. all but one have been released. tomorrow, the spotlight turns to trump's former chief of staff in the white house, mark meadows, who's trying to move his case from state to federal court. monday's hearing will be the first opportunity to see some of the evidence that the fulton county district attorney has put together. fani willis has issued subpoenas for multiple witnesses to appear, including georgia's secretary of state brad raffensperger who trump called after the election.
7:12 am
the fulton county d.a. wants all of the defendants to appear in court for arraignment the week of september 5th, including the former president. this could be the first televised court appearance for former president trump. stephanie? >> somara: exactly. the very first time. thank you so much, karen. let's bring in abc's editorial executive producer, john santucci, who's covered former president trump for a decade now. good to see you. >> good morning. >> stephanie: we were on the air for quite some time on thursday. >> wanted to come back for more. >> stephanie: when the former president surrendered. good to see you. walk us through this strategy. why is mark meadows trying to take his case to the federal court, and how does that impact the other defendants and the former president? >> so let's start with mark meadows. our understanding, stephanie, is that right now this case is in fulton county, georgia. deep, deep, deep blue. very democratic community down there. if meadows is successful, think of it like a pebble in a pond. the jury pool down there, liberal. if that pebble goes in, goes federal, it opens up the waves.
7:13 am
it opens up to a potential jury pool that is far more republican-friendly, far better for donald trump and his allies. now as far as team trump and the other 17 defendants are concerned, it's completely untested. my colleague, olivia rubin and i have been talking to multiple lawyers around this case, and they all say we're going to be watching monday really closely. some of those lawyers, stephanie, even though they're not apart of this case, they're going to physically go to that courtroom on monday. they want to see what this judge says, and if it's possible the case gets moved because if it happens, it is very possible all of these defendants head to federal court. >> stephanie: and, john, it's been a very busy summer. four indictments, and busy for your team and former president trump's team. how do these legal dates impact his campaign as he runs for president? >> there was a great cover of the "time" magazine, and it was donald trump on a roller coaster ride and it said, will this ride ever end? the short answer, stephanie, not
7:14 am
anytime soon. if you thought the summer was busy, buckle up into the fall. look at the calendar over the next month. we know that donald trump and his allies as karen just said, they have to head to fulton county for that arraignment, the first week, right after labor day. right out of the gate. just a few weeks after that, stephanie, the second republican debate. donald trump hasn't said one way or another if he's going, but that is something they're looking at, and just a few days later, the first trial for donald trump. this is the new york state attorney general's case into donald trump and the company's failure to pay taxes. to be clear, stephanie, that is trial one of six donald trump faces as of right now. >> stephanie: so many court dates ahead. john, thank you so much. >> thanks, stephanie. >> stephanie: you can tune into "this week" later this morning. martha interviews chris christie about this week's feisty primary debate. plus, martha will speak with president biden's 2024 campaign co-chair, cedric richmond about the president's re-election campaign. guys? >> will: all right, stephanie. the fallout over that kiss on the podium after the women's world cup final is intensifying. fifa world soccer's governing
7:15 am
body yesterday suspending spain's soccer chief, luis rubiales for 90 days. meanwhile the spanish soccer federation is threatening action against star player jennifer hermoso for refusing to accept rubiales' version of events and now nearly all of spain's world cup-winning coaches and players are resigning or refusing to play. gio? >> gio: all right, will. and now to americans squeezing in their last bit of summer fun. abc's jacklin lee is taking a look at what to expect if you are hitting the roads or skies ahead of labor day weekend. she joins us from laguardia airport here in new york. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we are wrapping up a record season of the summer. we're walking into a very busy labor day weekend and airlines are gearing up because these airports are going to be packed. expedia says that friday, september 1st and monday, september 5th are expected to be the busiest days to flight. both american and united are
7:16 am
expecting to have more than 6.3 million customers during the holiday. if this summer has been any indication, the july 4th holiday, it smashed records of more than 2.8 million passengers. that's more than ever in the tsa's history. if you are hitting the road, the busiest day will be thursday, august 31st from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. gas prices have decreased in the last week, but aaa is urging cautious optimism because as we walk into the weekend, there will be a lot of demand. we have volatile oil prices and we're walking into an active hurricane season. customers will be limited into how much savings they will see at the pump. >> gio: that really could have an impact. thank you so much, jaclyn, for that. we appreciate that. time for the weather. somara theodore is back, and we've got more wildfires that you are tracking. >> somara: not even on the west coast. we're talking about the wildfire downs in the gulf coast. this is vernon parish,
7:17 am
louisiana, ablaze. we have had multiple fires burning throughout the state of louisiana over the past few days and you can see as a result, we have red flag warnings still in place. winds gusting pretty high, up to 25 miles per hour there. we continue to see the red flag warnings in parts of texas. here's what i want to show you next. we have the drought monitor on, okay? on august 1st, 0% of the state of louisiana was under extreme drought. today, 50% of the state is under extreme drought. that only feeds these wildfires. here's something that may work in their favor. we have some showers and storms that are going to be rolling through tonight. the other thing we think about though with that is the threat for lightning with some of these storms. that's a look at the w east bay, where we have low thaws and fog. otherwise, the sun is shining and it will move across the bay, marine layer are running throughout the morning. highs today ranging from the low 70's in san francisco, upper
7:18 am
70's in oakland, low 90's inland. pleasant for monday but getting hot tuesday and wednesday. >> somara: so often when we think about the historic heat, look at the impact it's having. we're seeing wildfires in the south. really something to think about. >> will: it's all connected, somara, thank you so much. we'll turn now to the commemoration of one of the most significant events in american history. tomorrow marks 60 years to the day from the march on washington. that's where we find abc's faith abubey who joins us now with more. faith, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, will. the crowd at this year's march was noticeably smaller than the hundreds of thousands that packed the national mall back in 1963, but the cries for change were just as loud. 60 years after that first march on washington where dr. martin luther king jr. delivered that iconic i have a dream speech,
7:19 am
thousands back at the nation's capital this weekend to remember a defining moment that inspired change. >> i'm andrew young and i have been here before. it's been a long but wonderful struggle, and i'm here to tell you that i don't feel no ways tired. >> reporter: from civil rights icons like andrew young who marched alongside dr. king to king's own 15-year-old granddaughter yolanda. >> if i could speak to my grandfather today, i would say i'm sorry we still have to be here to rededicate ourselves to finishing your work. >> reporter: marchers citing voter suppression, reproductive rights and the end of affirmative action for bringing them here. >> the things we won back in the '60s are taken away. >> reporter: courtland cox who helped rich organize the original march on washington
7:20 am
agreed. >> black people used to be killed by the police and vigilantes and nobody cared, and right now if a black man gets killed by the police, it's a much more serious discussion. so my sense is the young people of day took on that responsibility. >> so what i'm hearing you say is the clock of progress is turning in the right direction? >> oh, no question, it has turned in the right direction. it has turned in the right direction, and we now have to understand where we are and how much farther we have to go. >> reporter: and the actual anniversary of the march on washington is tomorrow. the white house says president biden will host a reception and meet with activists as well as members of dr. king's family. guys? >> gio: you know it's really striking to see the story against the backdrop of how we opened this show with a racially motivated attack in florida. it's really striking. clearly more work needs to be done. >> stephanie: absolutely. 60 years have passed, but the goal is the same and the work continues. >> will: thank you. >> stephanie: thanks, faith.
7:21 am

7:48 am
we'll start with the women. who's on our radar, especially as far as these really talented americans are concerned? >> yeah, absolutely. the highest ranked american is jess pegula. i'll be looking for jess to have a great tournament. i have actually predicted her to get to a final. she has this wall about the quarterfinal. she's lost in so many quarterfinals at grand slam level, but i feel like this might be the time. she had a great leadup. she won a tournament in canada which is a wta 1,000. that was her best result on tour, or equal to her best result. i think she'll have a good tournament. the court suits her and coco gauff. we cannot talk enough about coco gauff. she came out of wimbledon not looking good. confidence was not there, and she wins washington, d.c. she wins cincinnati, and then comes into the u.s. open literally as possibly the favorite to win the tournament which would not have been something i would have said a month ago, but unfortunately for her, and for iga swiatek who is the number one seed and defending champion, they are going to play in the quarterfinals if they both get there.
7:49 am
it's a difficult draw for both of them. >> will: coco gauff still just 19 years old and already such a career. let's move over to the men quickly. it's been 20 years now since an american man won a grand slam. that was andy roddick, 2003 u.s. open. there are many seeded u.s. men. five of them. who should we know about, and who has a chance to go deep in this tournament? >> we have had great results in the americans' men's side with of course, tommy paul. he made the australian open semifinal at the start of this year. of course, chris eubanks, what he was able to do at wimbledon was quite an incredible run, and we saw how well he can play on a faster court, and of course, frances tiafoe who made the semifinals last year at the u.s. open, which was really one of the great stories of the u.s. open last year. so those three guys in particular, you know, there's a couple of others. taylor fritz won indian wells last year beating nadal in the final of that tournament. he won a tournament in atlanta just a couple of weeks ago. so, look. all of those guys and there's
7:50 am
even seb korda we're not even talking about. a number of american guys can do really, really well. i think of all the americans, i think frances thrives on the crowd here at the u.s. open, but he hasn't had a great leadup. i think tommy paul might be the one to watch of the americans. he just beat alcaraz 2 1/2, 3 weeks ago. >> will: there is so much to love about this u.s. open especially as far as the americans are concerned. rennae stubbs, thank you for being here. we'll see you at the tennis center and we'll see you coming up on "gma" with our "play of the day." stick around. nd. my active psoriatic arthritis can make me feel like i'm losing my rhythm. with skyrizi to treat my skin and joints, i'm getting into my groove. ♪(uplifting music)♪ along with significantly 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. skyrizi attaches to and reduces a source of excess inflammation that can lead to skin and joint symptoms.
