7:05 am
focus of the investigation. >> reporter: that's right. good morning. u.s. officials are pressing for more information about that mysterious year-long foreign trip rahami took two years ago to pakistan and afghanistan and whether that was the turning point for a young man who friends said spent most of his time talking about cars, supports and girls at one time of as a teenager he attended high school at edison high school where he graduated in 2007 remembered as a clean-cut kid. facebook to express their outrage recalling this picture of him and good times at a high school pool party. >> someone shared that on facebook, tagged it and said i can't believe i used to be friends with this guy. >> reporter: as a senior classmates say he actually became a father. >> ahmad had a girlfriend who became pregnant who was far along in her pregnancy at the prom. >> reporter: after a year of junior college, rahami endedup working at the family

chicken. five years ago his family sued the city of elizabeth, new jersey, claiming discrimination against must lips because the city imposed a 10:00 closing time. >> we had some code enforcement problems and noise complaints. >> reporter: rahami appears to have longed for his family roots with several trips to afghanistan and pakistan. in april 2013, officials say he traveled to quetta, pakistan, a known hotbed of extremism then returning to the u.s. until almost a year later in march 2014. causing u.s. officials to question him on his return. >> they're going to look at where he said he went, does it match? or did he go off to some rogue mosque or hook up with somebody that could have trained him to become a terrorist? >> reporter: officials say he claimed he was visiting pakistan to see a wife there who he tried but failed to bring back into the country.
7:07 am
relatives remain in pakistan, afghan refugees and that his mother left the country here in the u.s., left the u.s. just three weeks ago and has not returned since. >> they think that the bombs are sfris indicated enough he might have had training. >> two different kinds of bombs he used at least. >> we'll talk more about that. for more let's turn to abc's senior justice correspondent pierre thomas and former police commissioner ray kelly in the studio with us. pierre, what are your sources investigation where it stands? what's the latest. >> reporter: sources are telling me the focus is on the last six months to a year of rahami's life. who was he talking to and associating with? they're searching through phones and computers tied to him to examine his social media footprint trying to determine whether he was radicalized by isis or al qaeda. some sources suspect he got his bombmaking design from a deadly cookbook posted on al qaeda's inspired magazine and trying to trace his travel during that 2013 trip to afghanistan and pakistan.
7:08 am
contact with there and that trip was long ago but officials are leaving no stone unturned. every aspect of his life is being dissected. >> another question they're asking did he get any help? anybody else involved with these bombings? >> reporter: the official word right now is no evidence of a terror cell supporting him but my sources emphasize it's so early in the investigation, they need to know a lot more about this man and they need to know if there's somebody else out there who knew what he was planning to do. >> all right, pierre, thank you. >> ray, what can you tell us about what law enforcement >> well, lots of questions on the part of law enforcement as was said accomplices is what it's all about right now, whether there are family members involved. the bombs themselves were fairly basic but there were two different types of bombs. there was the pipe bombs using black powder and pressure cooker bombs using what's called tannerite. where did he get those materials and where did he bill the bomb? wires were found in the
7:09 am
so these are questions that will be asked by investigators as soon as this individual will, if he doesn't cooperate they can't get it from him i was going to say but they'll ask his family and companions. what was the radicalization process for this individual and, again, obviously a little focus on the trip overseas, we know that he went to other places and as was said is he telling the truth as to where he went. did he go to turkey or syria? going to be the foundation for much more in-depth investigations. >> hopefully we can get him to open up about those things. thank you, ray. >> thanks, now to how this plays in the race for the white house. just 49 days until the final votes. donald trump and hillary clinton traded sharp attacks all day and abc's tom llamas is in ft. myers, florida, where a fiery rally was held by donald trump. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. donald trump out with colorful
7:10 am
treated right now. but it's his son, donald trump jr. who is making headlines this morning. overnight, donald trump sharing his theory of why bombing suspect ahmad khan rahami apparently wasn't on any type of watch list. >> the guy over the chicken stand brought litigation, a lot of litigation against different people and i'll bet you that's why he was on no list. he was on no list, probably didn't want to put him because they didn't want to get sued. >> reporter: railing against in ft. myers, florida, predicting authorities would be coddling him. >> he will be given a fully modern and updated hospital room. and he'll probably even have room service knowing the way our country is. >> reporter: the republican nominee blaming homegrown terror on lax policies and, again, calling for increased profiling. >> i'm saying you're going to have to profile. we'll have to start profiling. >> reporter: hillary clinton
7:11 am
>> it is crucial that we continue to build up trust between law enforcement and muslim-american communities. >> reporter: accusing trump of motivating isis with his words and actions. >> we've heard that from former cia director michael hayden, who made it a very clear point when he said, donald trump is being used as a recruiting sergeant for the terrorists. >> reporter: trump's son don jr. al drawing some fire for this tweet which reads "if i had a bowl of skittles and i told you three would kill you, would you take a handful? that's our syrian refugee problem." the tweet igniting outrage from people saying don jr. shouldn't be comparing syrian refugees to pieces of candy. a clinton campaign spokesperson responding, calling it disgusting. and the mars corporation out with their own statement this morning via twitter.
7:12 am
refugees are people. it's an inappropriate analogy. we respectfully refrain from further comment as that could be misinterpreted as marketing. but, george, this comment and those tweets are blowing up on social media this morning. >> real pattern there. tom, thanks very much. jon karl has more on this. you got tweets blowing up. you saw donald trump at the rally. and he and hillary clinton die mettic tri opposed positions on terror yet they're cleese in our poll, 48% to 45%. advantage on the issue of terrorism going back to 9/11, but in this race it's largely -- our poll, within the margin of error, in some polls he has a slight advantage. in others she has a slight advantage of the they could not be more different on this steady leadership and donald trump channeling that raw emotion at terrorism. >> you know why she's doing it. a big difference on who americans think can handle international crisis.
7:13 am
the commander in chief test. it's much closer when it's who can respond to the terrorists. she's also carving out a different spot than barack obama on this. it was interesting to see her come out before the president to condemn these attacks, to brand them as terrorism before the president. she's trying to find a ground between donald trump and barack obama. >> some other political stories out. you saw chris christie, that trial on the george washington bridge scandal. the bridgegate scandal and prosecutors saying he knew about the traffic jams yet donald trump is >> absolutely but if you remember during the primary, donald trump came out and said, of course, chris christie knew. he definitely knew. i mean, he was emphatic so perhaps the person least surprised by this allegation is donald trump himself. he's sticking to christie and in doing so he's saying he's sticking to him because christie tuck by him. >> the news is coming from a member of the kennedy family on this next one. >> the two most political

7:15 am
questions over how a man would appeared to be having car trouble ended up shot dead by police. >> somebody left their vehicle running in the middle of the street with the doors wide open. >> reporter: after that 911 call friday night, tulsa police officer betty shelby arrives finding terence crutcher in the street. she radios he isn't cooperating. >> hold traffic. i've got a subject that won't show me his hands. >> reporter: moments later with four officers surrounding him his hands are raised but he seems to i >> this guy is still walking. >> time for a taser, i think. that looks like a bad dude too. >> reporter: hard to make out what happens next. police say he makes a move for something inside his car. one officer fires his taser. officer shelby fires her gun. >> shots fired. >> reporter: crutcher's family believes the shooting is part of what they call an epidemic of unarmed people of color killed by police. >> that big bad dude was my twin
7:16 am
>> reporter: tulsa's police chief says the 40-year-old was unarmed. >> i'm going to tell you right here and now there was no gun on the suspect or in the suspect's vehicle. >> reporter: crutcher's family says he didn't deserve to die but that officer shelby deserves to be charged. >> i want that officer to be held to the same standard and we just want justice for my brother so he'll know as he looks down on us that his life truly mattered. >> reporter: now the decision on whether or not that officer will face charges, federal or state, could take weeks. in the meantime, that officer is on paid leave. guys, back to you. >> and for the police chief to come out immediately and say there was no gun on the gentleman and no gun in his vehicle right away he made that clear. >> big statement. big statement made. all right. everybody, take a look at this. what you unfortunately might see if you try to get bass in the

7:18 am
emergency, gas prices are up an average 16 cents a gallon in georgia, up 11 cents a gallon in tennessee and aaa says that will continue until the pipeline is fully restored. >> we have to make sure as we're going from place to place that we have gas, so hopefully they can get the problem resolved. >> reporter: this service station behind me is one of many across this city that has no authorities insist that there's enough fuel supply for everyone but not when everyone is filling up at the same time. the governor here in georgia has issued an executive order against price gouging. >> tough when everybody has to get to work. to ginger and more on those fires. >> this fire has tripled in size. this is bad and erratic winds and low humidity a big part of the problem. more than 6,000 acres and watching tropical storm paine

7:36 am
thing they're going to be able to prove is that he gave her the drugs, right, because their position is she stole the drugs. his lawyer has made that statement already. so first of all they'll have to say he provided the drugs. secondly they'll have to be able to demonstrate those were the drugs that killed her and, number three, they're going to have to show it was reasonably foreseeable that something like this could or would happen. >> that's a lot to have to try and prove. what about the claim that carrey of these. >> not helpful fact for him, but if he had been using a fake name to get drugs for her, that would be a much bigger problem than using a fake name to get drugs for him. their position, carrey's position is actors do this all the time. celebrities do this all the time to protect their privacy. that's not really a legal defense because you're not supposed to do that. you're not supposed to give a fake name. but that doesn't necessarily

wins the lawsuit, that this guy wins the lawsuit just because jim carrey gave a fake name. >> the family also, they're really banking on those text messages and feel they're damaging. >> you heard it from the lawyer. basically saying that this was a ruse to cover it up. maybe, that will be an important question in terms of did he provide her with the drugs? an important question not the only question in this lawsuit, but that's the most important hurdle for them to overcome first, which is he gave her the drug show he gave her the drugs they have no case whatsoever. >> i know it's a difficult time for the family. a loss like this. >> absolutely. very personal case. >> very much so. all right, dan, thanks very much. over to michael now and find out what's on the big board. michael. >> all right, thank you, robin. coming up on our big board are you throwing away money at the gas pump? a report revealing how americans are wasting billions of dollars at the pump and the cheerios lawsuit, are their healthy

7:41 am
over those five years when all the people were fired, when all of those fake accounts were created, how can that person have walked out of wells fargo with a kind of pay package in the millions of dollars in compensation that they walked out? they're going to be pushing today for -- they'll say to wells fargo that person should not have left the company with that kind of money. you should take it back. >> rebecca, what can congress actually do? say they say you should take it happen, first of all, secondly, what does it do for the customer. >> ultimately this is going to be a pr nightmare for wells fargo. either way. but wells fargo is ultimately the arbiter and make the decision whether that happens and as far as the customer is concerned wells fargo in this whole mess has set aside $5 million to compensate any customer who was impacted by this. they've already paid out $2.6 million and have the $2.4

7:43 am
gas that you don't really need. in fact, 70% of the cars on the road that americans drive take regular gas and what aaa is saying, guys, is basically that's all you need to put in in your regular gas and it'll work just fine. >> seems like you're wasting all that hall of fame change. >> i know. sunny is over here huffing and puffing like i've been wasting money. >> i'm putting in regular. starting today. >> here's the other side of the story. we have a viewer, nicole, who tweeted on our social site and said she uses it in her car because it knocks and pings if she doesn't. so can it make the vehicle run better even if it's not required? >> yes, she's probably getting rid of the ping but the problem is the money she's spending if she saved it all and tuned up the car and made it run the way it was supposed to it wouldn't be pinging. what aaa did, they took cars and put it on a treadmill for cars and found there was no increase in horsepower, no increase in performance if you put premium in a regular.
7:44 am
