are focusing on this morning as they investigate the attack in california. plus -- this billboard is getting a lot of second looks. so what is the company saying about jolly old saint nick. and iowa fans flock to indianapolis. we're hearing from them as they get ready to cheer on the hawkeyes at the big ten championship. i'm jerry gallagher... let's check on your weather now with storm track 7 meteorologist eileen loan. good morning. areas of fog have formed overnight and some visibilities will be a mile or so at times this morning. skies have cleared out allowing that fog to form as temperatures are dropping into the 20s over most

viewing area with winds less thth 10 mph. the skies will stay clear, so the fog should burn off quickly as the sun comes up. highs will climb into the low to mid 40s over most of the area today. we will stay warm through the weekend... i'll have that forecast in a few minutes. we begin this morning with the latest on the investigation in the california attack. police are looking for the man who bought two rifles used in the mass shooting. syed farook and his wife killed

police say they handguns and rifles they had were bought legally more than three years ago. farook bought the pistols, but a man authorities won't identify bought the rifles. it's unclear if that man bought the guns for farook -- of if "when it comes to people who protecting the people along the way." authorities say they don't know why farook and his wife attacked a social services center -- but they say it appears he had been radicalized. this is what the president had to say about the tragedy. their loss is our loss too, and we're all one american family. we look out for each other in good times and in bad. the president talked about it during the national christmms tree lighting ceremony -- saying this is a wonderful time of year, but at

to think of those who are suffering right now. today, thousands of people are expected at an officer's funeral. the officer was killed in the shooting at a colorado springs planned parenthood on friday. two others were also killed in that attack -- and nine more were injured or wounded, including five officers. the debate about guns is front and center again in washington after recent attacks. yesterday, the senate voted against more background checks. the bill -- which was bi-partisan -- would've required more checks for guns bought online and at gun shows. the vote was 50-47 against -- with both senators from iowa voting no. in new york -- a county sheriff is urging gun owners to arm themselves. he says -- in light of what's happened recently -- he's encouraging those who are licensed to carry their weapon with them. "i'm not saying you have to, but the county was there to help us."

-- is one of the few in the another hot topic on capitol hill is obamacare -- and republicans again vote to dismantle the law. the vote is largely symbolic because the president will veto it -- and republicans don't have enough votes to override it. but they want to use his veto as a message to voters in next year's election that sending a republican to the white house could mean the end of obama care parenthood. speaking of the race for the white house: the republicans cover many topics at a jewish, faith- based forum. reid binion shows us what they talked about -- along with a few awkward moments. more than a dozen g-o-p candidates -- courted voters at the republican jewish coalition thursday. many took the opportunity to talk tough on terrorism--new jersey governor chris christie called the mass shooting in san bernardino terrorism "as a former prosecutor ... i am convinced that was a terrorist attack. we need to come to

the next world war." but the candidates also touched on softer topics happy hanukah." ...others stumbled a bit trying to connect with the jewish audience donald trump, seemingly alluding to old stereotypes "i really believe the iran deal "i'm a negotiator like you folks, we are negotiators. is there anybody that doesn't re-negotiate deals in this room?" the anti-defamation league issued a statement saying they do not think "donald trump's intention to evoke anti-semitic stereotypes." ohio governor john kasich attempted to explain why he feels such a strong bond with the jewish community... this way "my mother told me one time, she said, 'johnny' - when i was a very young man - she said, 'johnny, if you want to look for doctor ben carson had this to say about the u-s one dollar bill "america may not have ever become a place if it had not been for haym solomon. that's why there's a star of david on the back of the one dollar bill."

remarks with this: "last night i was watching 'schindler's list. everybody here has seen schindler's list." in the democratic race, a key endorsement for hillary clinton. the u-s labor secretary plans to give his support to her in iowa today. it's seen as a huge blow to one of the other democrats in the race -- martin o'malley. he helped launch the labor secretary's career in maryland. clinton will be in sioux city and fort dodge later today. this morning, music fans are remembering a very talented singer who has died. scott weiland -- the former frontman for stone temple pilots passed away in his sleep. he and his band -- the wildabouts -- were touring in minnesota this week. weiland was 48 years old. a week later -- and no sign of an eastern iowa teenager. ethan weitzenkamp was last seen on thanksgiving night at home in

he left a note saying he needed to start a new life -- but his parents say that doesn't seem like something he'd do. he disappeared days before his first wrestling match as a something's happened to him or he might have befriended somebody that took advantage of him. because he is a very generous person and that's what we are scared of, that something bad has happened to him." the family says there has been no sign of ethan's unique car -- which you see in this picture. volunteers organized a search for him yesterday and will continue today. ambulances surround an elementary school -- after a carbon monoxide scare. it happened yesterday in chicago. more than 100 students and faculty were checked out at the hospital. there's no word what caused the high levels of carbon monoxide -- but we know detectors were put in all chicago public schools after a boiler broke down at a school earlier this year.

clears up in one part of eastern iowa. many of you may recognize these streets in waterloo kimball avenue is finally free, after being under construction for almost two years crews removed the cones -- bringing it back to two lanes this is what one business had to "the first year was tough, it because there werent as many intersections closed, but its still been pretty tough" they say they had some loyal customers throughout the process -- but it was hard for many people to get to their restaurant during construction. this morning, many hawkeye fans are hitting the road -- ready to turn indianapolis into a sea of black and gold. tomorrow is the big ten championship game between the undefeated hawks and michigan state. kwwl's brad hanson spoke doug althaus and his family have been life long been waiting my whole life for. doug and his wife will make the trip to indy, but they'll have to leave

i still get to watch the game at least. and it'll be fun. hopefully they can beat michigan state." meanwhile, carl schwendinger, known as the hawkeye poet, has just finished his poem for the game saturday. "i never share it ahead of time." a more than 30 year tradition, carl writes a new poem for each game he attends, and is looking forward to reading it in front of hawkeye faithful outside lucas oil stadium. even though he won't reveal it, he still gives us a taste of his skills. (carl schwendinger, hawkeye pot) "i think all hawkeye fans have been on a hawkeye high since the season began. you we're gonna take down michigan state." tod wolter will be there too--traveling in style on this decked out bus. no matter how they get there, wolter says the iowa presence will be this is the first time, and this is a magical season, and the hawk fans are going to be raring to

"when iowa comes out of that tunnel, you'll hear the hawkeye fans." "iowa is the best team in the world." and here's a look at what the field looks like. the stadium can seat up to 67 thousand people. if you're looking to grab some last minute tickets -- you'll have to pay up. tickets on sites like stub-hub are starting at 125 dollars and go up to seven thousand dollars. you have to go all the way back to 1922 to find the last time iowa had a perfect season. that year they were seven and oh. their biggest win that year might have been at yale. that year -- the chemistry building on campus was under construction -- and it's still standing today. kinnick stadium was also several years from being built. "games were played on what

now a parking lot right next to the iowa river." in 1922 -- you could buy season tickets for twelve dollars and fifty cents. we still have a lot to get to this morning: including this controversial billboard. santa claus is coming to town -- and it appears he's ready for target practice. plus one of the biggest plays of the entire n-f-l season happens with no time on the clock. a we have some fog out there this morning, but that should burn off with mostly sunny skies today. highs will warm to around 10 degrees above average today. and we stay warm through the weekend and

few second looks right now. that's because st. nick is looking down the barrel of an assault-style rifle. the billboard for a sports store in north carolina says "santa knows what you really want!" it's the type of thing getting mixed each their own. i mean, it doesn't appeal to me, but... promoting something that we don't want to

the store manager says they thought the ad would be amusing and that customers would get a kick out of it. if you turned off the packers lions game a little early last night -- you missed one incredible finish. the lions thought they had the game won as time ran out, but detroit was called for a face- mask. that gives green bay one a hail mary caught by packers tight end richard rodgers. the packers stun the lions 27-23 -- in a game already being called the miracle in mo-town. this morning, we know who the super bowl teams will share the stage with next year. british rockers coldplay will perform at half- time of super bowl 50. bruno mars is also scheduled to perform. super bowl 50 is february 7th in santa clara, california. another number one team goes down -- and this will affect iowa state. last night, ucla upset the
