it's getting real. trump and clinton squaring off in round one. >> but that's not the only big story we're tracking night. frustration after a secret list is exposed as a valley school. >> plus a dangerous predator on the loose, but first a new look from an abc 15 viewer at a huge ball of fire. this is near the i-17 and buckeye road. still unclear what sparked the

this out. thankfully no one was hurt by the fire. firefighters and ambulance, police cars, just a big scene clearing up in the past two hours along the loop 101 near frank lloyd right. two crashes happened here involving several cars. no answers on how everybody is doing, but we're checking on them right now. >> i have a feeling by the end of this evening i'll be blamed for anything that's ever >> why not? >> yeah, why not. you know, just join the debate by saying more crazy things. >> just one of the many interesting moments from tonight's presidential debate, and trump promising to release his tax returns if clinton releases her deleted e-mails. they went back on forth on everything from race relations to records and more. >> and it played out to say

sized audience. >> jason was live at the watch parties, and a lot of eyes on the debate. >> reporter: yes, a lot of people who never paid attention to politics were suddenly glued to the tv. here we are at a watch party and it was packed tonight. same thing, over at the watch party sponsored by the arizona republican party, but talking to folks it's not necessarily the issues drawing them out. that's part of it's the candidate themselves, the controversy and bombastic personality and divisive rhetoric of donald trump. >> i don't think i'll ever see anything like this in my lifetime, and that's why this is the first time i've been to you a debate where i'm with other supporters. >> this might be the biggest mess of an election i think

someone with no political past whatsoever running and one that has a lot but did you want have the cleanest past as well. >> reporter: i will mention both supporters on both sides seem genuinely excited about their candidate, but there's also a nervousness in the air you feel that wasn't there four to eight years ago. >> yes, so hard to recall so many people engaged and interested in a presidential debate. >> reporter: exactly. >> two debate, one is trump responding to the dnc saying russia hacked. >> i don't know anyone knows it was russia. maybe it was. it could be russia, but also china or lots of other people. it also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds okay? >> that 400-pound statement is quickly trending on twitter. another big moment when clinton hit back at trump's claims she doesn't have the stamina to be president.

countries and negotiates a peace deal, a cease fire, a release of dissidents and opening of new opportunities and nations around the world, or even spends 11 hours testifying in front of a congressional committee, he can talk to me about stamina. >> those moments just two of two dozen or so, you can see many more right now on www.abc15.com. in a rare move after the presidential debate, donald trump took questions backstage. here's >> you know, i'm very happy that i was able to hold back on the indiscretions with respect to bill clinton because i have a lot of respect for chelsea clinton, and i just didn't want to say what i was going to say. >> reporter: which is? >> which is i'll tell you maybe at the next debate. we'll see. >> from what we could gather clinton not taking questions publicly backstage but did tweet says the presidency is

to register to vote. so who won and who lost? cnn polling hundreds of debate watchers, and clinton was the clear winner according to them. 68 choosing her, and 27 percent choosing trump. >> >. and let's talk about how the candidates showed themselves physically. we talked to an expert about what their body language >> her smiling was a mask-like smile and it was nervousness. it showed okay i am busted but i'll smile through it all, but people saw through it. >> as for the next debate she suggests trump change the color of his makeup, and clinton should focus on herself, not attacking her opponent. looking ahead, three more debates are scheduled. the next is with the vice president candidates in virginia october 4th. then clinton and trump square

9th, and the last presidential debate is october 19th in las vegas. and just minutes away we're taking action to separate fact from fiction in tonight's debate, and where does the race stand in our state? the latest numbers. and now a safety alert. a dangerous predator is on the streets, and glendale police really need your help to get this guy behind bars. look at the sketch. investigators believe this man raped a woman who was walking near the cardinals stadium early he threatened her, grabbed her by the hair, and pulled her under a bridge. this comes after a man inappropriately touched a woman walking down the street, but it's not believed the cases are connected. from tonight a leaked list causing controversy in the paradise valley school district. parents singled out for behavior problems. >> but the names were

nohelani graf is live with the story, and why was the list even created? >> reporter: that's what parents want to know at explorer middle school saying it singles out students with special needs saying it has no facts. about 20 names were on the list and also included with kids that missed a lot of school here. one teacher slipped up though and e-mailed it to her whole class. tried to get close their computers so they could delete it, but it was too late and some took pictures. the district is taking this seriously they say, and taking steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. district officials say student safety is first priority. if you try to protest on the mill avenue bridge you'll get arrested, but a man who called himself a reverend is doing it anyway.

the shooting death of a 19-year- old shot back in july following a robbery. he's got a court date in a couple of weeks. >> i'm not angry, i'm not feeling any sort of need to engage in violence. i really have a lot of pity for this department and hope for this community. >> organizers say the demands are still in placings including multiple firings within the >. and tensions are still high in charlotte, north carolina over the shooting of keith scott. some protesters shaking hand and chatting with police, but tonight new calls for resignations at the top. >> the chief promised us they'd be more transparent under his leadership. we feel the promises have been broken and call for the
