kidnapped by hamas during that october 7th massacre. among those, american hersh goldberg-polin. >> gio: his mother and father very vocal since the beginning, pushing to free the hostages and secure a cease-fire, even organizing with other families this friday on the gaza border using loudspeakers so that hersh and the other hostages could hear them in gaza. let's get to britt clennett in tel aviv. good morning. this may have an impact on those cease-fire talks. >> reporter: good morning, gio. yeah, and we're learning new details this morning about the deaths of those captives. an israeli official telling abc news that all six hostages were found in a tunnel in southern gaza with signs that they were shot in the head. this morning, israel confirming the deaths of six more hostages in gaza including israeli american hersh goldberg-polin. the other five -- an idf spokesperson saying the

home. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu this morning saying, those who kill abductees do not want to deal. we will not let up. hostage families blaming netanyahu for the deaths of those six hostages, demanding he be held accountable, and a security official telling abc news this morning three of those hostages including hersh were on the latest cease-fire draft and they would have been freed in the first phase of the deal. there are now 101 hostages remaining in gaza including seven americans. whit? >> whit: that's an awful new update in this crisis. britt clennett for us, thank you so much. we appreciate it. meantime, back here in the u.s., a frightening scene on a san francisco street. police say 49ers rookie ricky pearsall was shot in the chest during an attempted armed robbery, and is now recovering in the hospital. abc's melissa adan is in san francisco with the latest. melissa, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. this shooting happening just a few blocks away from here in the heart of union square.

it is a lively san francisco neighborhood, and the shooting happened in the middle of the day. this morning, now an outpouring of support for the 49ers wide receiver. overnight, san francisco 49ers player ricky pearsall recovering after he was shot in the chest during an alleged attempted armed robbery in union square. >> he was walking alone when a suspect approached him and attempted to commit an armed robbery using a gun. >> reporter: pearsall was in union square on saturday afternoon signing autographs at an event center. according to police, a 17-year-old suspect confronted pearsall and pulled out a gun. both were injured. >> gunfire from the suspect's gun struck both mr. pearsall and the subject. >> reporter: pearsall was rushed to san francisco general hospital. according to a statement released from the 49ers, the 23-year-old wide receiver is in serious, but stable condition. his teammate, deebo samuel tweeting, he's good.

thank god. >> oh yeah. it look good. >> reporter: pearsall is the 49ers' first round pick in the last nfl draft out of the university of florida. abc news sources briefed on the investigation believe pearsall was targeted for a high-end watch he was wearing at the time. san francisco's mayor calling this a terrible and rare incident in union square. >> this is how we hold people accountable in san francisco. robberies and any violence like this will not be tolerated in our city. >> reporter: the 17-year-old suspect is in custody and those charges are pending. meantime, police pointing out pearsall was not targeted because he is a football player and that this was a random street robbery. gio? >> gio: a random robbery. all right, melissa, thank you so much. now to americans preparing to head home from the long holiday weekend and the storms out there that could slow

travel. somara's got the trouble spots and places that are looking good for a barbecue though. hey, somara, good morning. >> somara: good morning, gio. take a look at this video, so this is a time lapse of a shelf cloud rolling through cumberland, maryland. it looks cinematic. we had damage reports coming out of the mid-atlantic. here is the cold front that will be continuing to drive true, bringing more storms to the region. this is 5:00 p.m. this evening. carolinas, get ready, especially north carolina. you're going to see a lot of storms bubbling as we head through the evening and overnight hours. big concern will be strong winds and heavy rain there. now looking across the country, we're actually looking pretty dry for labor day. it's not until you get down to the southern tier of the country, the gulf of mexico, new orleans, biloxi, houston, where we're looking at the threat for flooding. back to you. >> rhiannon: thank you for that. now to the race for the white house. the candidates zeroing in on those battleground states as the campaign is entering its final months. abc's maryalice parks is in washington with that. good morning, maryalice.

>> reporter: rhiannon, good morning. the harris-walz team said overnight they still view themselves as the underdogs in this race despite all the momentum that we've seen on the ground. they wrote in a new campaign memo overnight saying that in 2020 this election came down 40,000 votes across the battleground states. we fully anticipate margins to be similarly razor-thin. harris is headed to detroit and then pittsburgh this weekend. in pittsburgh, she'll be joined by president biden. no doubt on labor day, the two will talk up the fact that it is harris' campaign that has won the endorsement of several of the nation's leading labor unions. we saw many of those leaders featured prominently at the democratic national convention in chicago. now trump in the past has made inroads with the union vote. his running mate jd vance has been trying to court union workers, but that effort was hindered this summer by trump's own comments during a conversation with elon musk where he praised musk for potentially firing workers who may want to unionize or strike. now also big this week, the first ballots will be sent

out in a handful of states including north carolina. just last week, the north carolina state board of elections voted to keep robert f. kennedy jr.'s name on the ballot. he had wanted it removed after he dropped out and endorsed trump, but they said that the ballots had already been printed. whit? >> whit: another one of those key battleground states. maryalice, thank you so much. let's bring in abc's jonathan karl who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. jon, good morning to you. always great to have you. so we have this new abc news/ipsos poll out this morning. what do the numbers tell us about the state of the race and did vice president harris get much of a bump after the democratic convention? >> jonathan: well, whit, it shows that this race is very steady. vice president harris had a bump after she became the nominee, but the numbers are almost unchanged from before the convention. there you see them, 52% for harris. 46% for trump. now keep in mind, that is just barely outside the margin of error, whit, and as you well remember in 2016, hillary clinton won the national vote, but lost the white house.

so that really shows you a race that is very close to statistically tied. >> whit: and jon, are we see anything shift in the battleground states? >> jonathan: same story there, in the battleground states. if you look at the seven states that will really determine who gets elected, you look there. you see harris has a slight lead in six of the seven states, but i say slight lead in virtually all of those. this is the fivethirtyeight polling average. in virtually all of those, it is statistically tied within the margin of error. again, this race is about as close as it can be, but democrats are in considerably stronger position than they were when biden was the nominee. >> whit: and so jon, also what are voters saying about the personal attributes of the candidates and the handling on the big issues? >> jonathan: well, this really tells the story. if you look in our new poll, you see that donald trump has a significant advantage on some of the most important issues for voters. you see immigration and the

economy consistently ranking at the top, he has a lead. harris has eliminated the republican advantage at least in our poll in crime and safety and of course, harris has a big advantage on the issue of abortion, but look at personal attributes. on this, a different story. harris has a significant advantage over trump on who people think is physically healthy enough to be president, is honest and trustworthy, understands problems and people like me, and has the mental sharpness to be president. so that tells the story of this essentially statistically tied race. republicans, donald trump has an advantage on some of the key issues. harris has an advantage on who people actually like personally, and that's where the race is, essentially tied. >> whit: essentially tied and leading up to that pivotal debate in less than a week and a half from now right here on abc. jon, we know you'll be there, and we'll chat with you in

just a bit. tune into "this week" later this morning for more on that abc news/ipsos poll. jon also speaks with trump ally lindsey graham. plus colorado governor jared polis about vice president kamala harris' campaign. >> rhiannon: now a deadly plane crash in oregon. a cessna slamming into a row of townhomes setting off a fire. >> crash, crash, crash. crash. big black smoke in a residential area. >> reporter: this morning, three people are dead after a small plane crashed into a neighborhood just north of portland, immediately sending smoke billowing into the air. ntsb officials looking into the incident as rescue crews rush to the scene in a desperate search for survivors. >> sir, you haven't gone around any time. >> reporter: air traffic controllers urging the pilot to change altitude immediately just before the crash. >> say your intentions. your altitude indicates 1,700. you're well above the vfr altitude restrictions. i need you to descend right now. >> reporter: moments later, the pilot revealing he's having

control issues with the plane as it attempted an emergency landing at a local airport. >> 412 gulf is having some handling problems. in is a test flight. i can't get this thing -- >> reporter: the aircraft, a twin-engine cessna, was carrying two people aboard as it crashed into a row of townhouses igniting a five-alarm brush fire. >> we have heavy fire showing from the roof of a two-story townhome. we need to balance this second alarm. >> at some point during the crash, it hit a power pole or tower causing it to fall over. the power lines fell into a field of some sort and started a brush fire. >> rhiannon: local officials say nearly 15,000 people lost their power from that crash and at least two people were treated for injuries on-site. five families there have been displaced. >> gio: now a new study found that the popular weight loss drug wegovy may also reduce the

risk of death. a new study found that people taking wegovy during the covid pandemic wereless likely to die from the virus. the study found that people taking the drug still contracted the virus during the clinical trial, but their chances of dying from infection dropped by 33%. whit. >> whit: we're going to shift gears here, because it was a big week one in college football. abc's perry russom has the highlights. good morning to you. >> reporter: whit, good morning to you, and the good news is week one is still going with games tonight and tomorrow. we had a great one last night that went down to the wire. last night's primetime game on abc, a top 25 nail-biter. number seven notre dame at number 20 texas a&m. tied 13-13, late in the fourth quarter, notre dame's jeremiah love runs it in for the touchdown. >> the irish take the lead. >> reporter: after this crucial stop on fourth down, the irish seal it with a field goal and win 23-13. >> notre dame is going to come to kyle field and come away with

a huge victory. >> reporter: number one-ranked georgia taking on number 14 clemson also on abc. one of the heisman trophy favorites, georgia's carson beck throws for two touchdowns. >> and it is caught for a touchdown. >> reporter: and malachi starks with this back-bending interception as the bulldogs win 34-3. staying with the heisman hopefuls, ole miss' jackson dart responsible for six touchdowns, all in the first half. he sat the entire second half as sixth-ranked ole miss beat furman, 76-0. 19th-ranked miami against florida at the swamp on abc, the hurricanes' first touchdown of the season goes to cam mccormick who is in his ninth year of college football. >> his ninth year playing the game and he scores the opening touchdown for the canes. >> reporter: the 26-year-old red shirted his first year and was hurt in four others. miami wins 41-17. and an upset. vanderbilt was an 13.5-point

underdog against virginia tech and vandy wins it in overtime. and with the new playoffs extending to 12 teams, one loss does not mean it's the end for teams like clemson and texas a&m who lost yesterday. another big game tonight, a top 25 matchup with usc and lsu 7:30 eastern right here on abc, guys. >> rhiannon: this is just the beginning. >> whit: buckle up. >> rhiannon: perry, thank you for that. we got a lot to talk about weatherwise here in the u.s. it's a holiday weekend, of course, but let's send it over to somara. you have something going on in iceland. >> somara: this is spectacular video. every now and then mother earth puts on a show. check this out. this is in iceland. you see the northern lights dancing over billowing clouds and smoke shooting from a volcano. something to see. we've got some smoke too here at home, but it's in the pacific northwest. you can see here in northern idaho, parts of montana, we're looking at very heavy smoke due to wildfires. this is a timestamp here showing

you that we're running this through today into tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. a lot of that smoke still concentrated there. fresno also in for dense smoke, so be mindful of that. we've got a lot of hot and dry air out there should i say. triple digits in places like fresno through the holiday weekend, 101 on tuesday. even places like denver in the low 90s. we've got a hot one, record-breaking heat we have been seeing out in places like phoenix, arizona. now the climate prediction center puts out this temperature outlook, and this shows us between september 6th and the 10th, what our general temperatures could look like. out west, you're staying warmer than normal with those triple digits. things have cooled down on the east coast and it'll stay cooler than normal.

>> somara: and that's a look at your local forecast. talking about this heat, guys, phoenix is experiencing their hottest summer and year on record only to beat last year and the top three fell within the last five years. been keeping this data for 130 years. >> whit: wow. i liked your meteorological term. it's going to be a hot one. >> somara: oh yeah. >> whit: straight from the science book, yes. >> gio: you know what makes her very geeky? space. let's talk about this story because we've got a history made by a 21-year-old college student. she just became the youngest woman ever to go into space. take a look. university of north carolina senior karsen kitchen always had her eyes on the stars.

>> i use to go outside when i was younger and look at the night sky and i would tell my parents and my entire family that i wanted to be an astronaut. >> reporter: but she couldn't have imagined this moment. >> there she goes. cleared the tower. >> reporter: karsen is making space history aboard new shepherd on its 26th mission traveling with five other civilian crew members. at 21, the youngest woman ever to cross the border between the earth's atmosphere and outer space, experiencing zero gravity. >> you see this view and it changes your life and you have about four minutes of weightlessness. i just looked out the window the entire time and just saw that beautiful earth and space. >> this is incredible. >> reporter: after an 11-minute journey, the capsule making its landing in a west texas desert. for karsen, it's mission accomplished. >> sending that message to women that you need to keep reaching for those dreams. it's not going to be easy, but that makes it even more worthwhile. >> gio: and you can see her emotion there. what's so interesting about the private space industry now is so

many people who wouldn't otherwise be able to go into space now get the opportunity. she's one of the youngest ones. >> rhiannon: how does she top this? >> gio: what do do you? >> whit: moon? mars? you never know. >> gio: a lot is ahead for karsen. >> whit: i think so. for sure. still ahead here on "gma," don't be fooled. the new warning from oscar-winning actor tom hanks who says ads using his likeness are being used by swindlers online to sell miracle cures. >> rhiannon: and labor day deals. save on back to school items to your next vacation. >> gio: and teachers of tiktok collecting millions of views by harnessing the power of the social media platform to educate kids and colleagues. we'll be right back here with those great stories. you're watching "gma" on a sunday morning.

and many kids are heading back to school this week across the country. many are already in school. how to set up your family for health and success in the months ahead, dr. darien sutton is here with the fall family checklist. dr. sutton, good morning. it's always great to have you. first, you have an important reminder about health checkups and vaccines. >> dr. darien: well, this is my favorite time of year, going back to school. i spent most of my life in school. remembering to get these vaccines done. i think it's so important to make sure that you get checkups not just for the children, but for parents. reminding parents to get that checkup, that yearly checkup. it helps with prevention, and then vaccines, of course. they help build our bodies' protection. help lasting protection for a long period of time. we have the updated covid vaccines available for those who are 6 months and older and you can get covid vaccines as well as flu vaccines at the same time, and while we're on the topic of vaccines, it's

important to remember the other vaccines that protect these children. making sure you're checking with your pediatrician to make sure that your child is up to date on these vaccines, especially as we move into the colder months and more infections like flu, covid and other common colds. >> gio: we were just talking about our sleep routines. >> dr. darien: yes. >> gio: when you have back to school, you have school activities and things change. how do you get those schedules in check? >> dr. darien: number one, understanding the importance of sleep. sleep helps us with academic performance, with brain performance. it improves mood for children. decreasing those tantrums for children. >> gio: and adults. >> dr. darien: making sure you're hitting on those important time points. for teens, for example, eight to ten hours. i think most importantly, the reminder for children, 10 to 14 hours. it's important not only to get that sleep, but also being consistent. not only during the week, but during the weekend, you want to wake up and go to sleep around the same time. >> rhiannon: could you tell my kids they need 9 to 12 hours? i just saw that on there. >> dr. darien: i will bring that to them. >> rhiannon: you mentioned activities.

we have soccer, football, all these things, so you either eat dinner at 4:00 or 10:00. how do we keep our diet in check? >> dr. darien: one of the tips i found out from a fellow parent was having dinner as soon as children get home. that is fascinating and a good idea. i remember how starving i was at the end of the day. so i think also involving children in food preparation. switching from unhealthy fats like butter to healthy fats like olive oil, teaching children how to read food labels and being mindful of added sugar. it's only recommended that we get at least 25 to 35 grams of sugar a day. that can be found in a bottle of juice or soda. being cognizant of that is really, really important, and i think something helpful to try out this year is walks after meals, they have been shown to improve our outcomes in terms of managing our weight, and i think one good activity this year to start is walking after that meal. >> rhiannon: that's great advice. love that. thank you, dr. darien. >> dr. darien: favorite time of the year. >> rhiannon: coming up on "good morning america," how teachers
