nearly half of americans are expected to travel between thanksgiving and mid january. >> air traffic controllers are being required to do mandatory overtime. what happens with mandatory overtime? it ends up leading to fatigue and distraction. >> reporter: now, of course, there's a concern about that possible government shutdown rachel was talking about. if that happens it would likely lead to the furlough of 1,000 air traffic control workers and force about 13,000 to work without pay. not to mention how it will affect the training pipeline for those air traffic controllers. it is something to watch very very closely. >> sure is, gio. thank you very much. we are going to head to florida where deputies were targeted by a driver determined to kill. victor oquendo has more on that attack. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning, george. it happened so quickly. the sheriff said his deputies did not have a chance to get out of the way. this was all caught on surveillance and body camera. we want to warn you, these images are difficult to watch. this morning two florida deputies are in serious

still freddie mac does say the data shows people are feeling the strain of high cost of living and house hold debts remain high, too, so the housing market is set to remain stagnant. unless these mortgage rates decrease significantly. we are still a long way from the 3% interest rates of 2021, guys. >> a long way. we may never even see it again. okay, trevor. thank you. demarco? to college football. one of the top games on saturday features number 3 michigan as the school faces growing pressure in a sign stealing scandal. will reeve is here with more on this story. will, good morning to you. >> good morning, demarco. it is a big time weekend in college football. some programs facing off as we near the final stretch of the season. starting with top ten show down that would make headlines no matter what. michigan/penn state. the spotlight is especially on michigan as the wolverines sign stealing scandal grows. according to espn, michigan sent documents to big ten conference officials alleging that michigan rivals, purdue, rutgers and ohio state, communicated with each

other about michigan's signs. so michigan is now complaining about the same thing they themselves are accused of doing. rutgers head coach said he wouldn't go into specifics but that he's, quote, ticked off. he's got to talk about something that's not his school's problem. lots of finger pointing. what aboutism right now. the bottom line is this. the michigan assistant coach at the heart of the scandal has resigned. head coach, jim harbaugh could be facing disciplinary action from the big ten or ncaa or both. this whole thing may end up in court in the coming days. back on the field a huge matchup under the lights on espn at 7:00 p.m. eastern. two time defending champion georgia bull dogs are number two in the college football playoff rankings. they host number 9, ole miss. that will be the toughest test the dogs have faced so far this season. lots of great action coming up. >> lot of good football. will, thank you. coming up the search for answers after an american woman disappeared while kayaking in guatemala. we'll hear from the owners of the kayak company.

plus the verdict in a work place lawsuit brought by robert de niro's assistance. >> and the fbi speaking about a public safety crisis called swatting. how the agency is changing the way it responds to certain types of calls about violence. first to ginger. >> we told you yesterday that 2023 is on track to be the warmest year on record for the planet. just new information in from the world meteorology organization tells us el nino is intensifying for the next month or so. that's when the warmer waters are out in the pacific. it's extending further west, which makes it even stronger. usually that means the next year sees the impact of the global warming. so 2024 could be even warmer than 2023. that's the new headline. what it usually means for us in the united states is a very active jet stream across the west. that would be great for the drought areas, texas, is mississippi, alabama. usually means a little bit warmer than average on the northern tier. you can have activity in the northeast. we expect the winter outlook to stay above average.

we are back with an abc news exclusive on what the fbi is calling a public safety crisis. an explosion of what's known as swatting, fake threats phoned into police about active shooters, bombs or violence in progress. we hear more and more about it every day. aaron katersky is back with those details. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: good morning. this is the public safety crisis law enforcement did not want to talk about, but now can no longer be avoided. >> shots at the library. >> reporter: in april, oklahoma university received a series of calls about a shooting that evacuated the campus and drew scores of police, running to the scene, guns out.

>> where are you at exactly? >> hiding in the library. >> west side of the library. >> reporter: there never was a shooting. this was a hoax. the country is seeing a sky rocketing number of these calls, called swatting, bogus threats phoned in to police about active shooters, bombs or other acts of violence in progress. the fbi's brian leblanc is teaching law enforcement officers the best way to react. >> for a long time the fbi in particular didn't want to discuss these kinds of incidents. why not? >> because we are concerned of the copy cat effect. >> so why are we talking now? >> it's reached that level of being a crisis level. >> reporter: in may these massachusetts middle schoolers fled their campus to escape what they thought was an active shooter. video shot showing some of the dangers, children reportedly running along a busy highway, putting their lives in danger for a hoax. >> i got a call from a person saying he had a shot gun, saying he was going to kill everybody.

>> reporter: in texas last year students on the ground as police swarm this high school. that one, too, turned out to be fake. is this thrill seeking? revenge on certain groups? >> in some cases they are being paid. some cases it's revenge. that's where swatting came from, from the gaming community, where individuals were playing each other and wanted to take out their opponents so they would call in a swatting to their house. the police would come and they could lose their game. >> reporter: to interrupt a video game? >> absolutely. >> reporter: statistics are showing the profile of a typical swatter is 12-17 and they are doing this to cause chaos. >> these are kids, yes. >> reporter: the fbi says it now investigates thousands of these kinds of swatting calls every year targeting school, synagogues, black churches and hospitals and leading to an overwhelming police response. >> show your hands! >> reporter: in 2018 andrew finch was killed by wichita police after someone called in a phoney report of a murder and hostage taking at his address.

the online gamer behind the swatting call was later sentenced to 20 years in prison. since then swatting has become so widespread the fbi set up a specialized unit to help police departments inundated by these hoax calls make more informed assessments. >> these calls have characteristics that can be used to identify them as hoaxes pretty early on in the process. based on that, you can have a measured response. we're not saying don't have any response. we're saying have a measured response. >> reporter: someone who makes one of these calls could face criminal charges, anything from providing false information, even stalking. for police, after 20 years of being trained to drop everything and run toward active shooter call, the fbi is now working to retrain officers. take an extra second, evaluate the call. guys, when police arrive with weapons drawn, there can be real danger and the risk of a mistake is high. guys. >> not only is it dangerous, but it's traumatizing. >> of course. to think 12-17-year-olds are the
