four people were killed. abc's linzie janis has the breaking new details. good morning. >> reporter: this is a very common kind of ride. almost everyone who has been to a big amusement park has been on or at least seen a ride like this one considered one of the more tame attractions for family, even young children. that is what makes this deadly accident so terrifying. overnight four people killed in an amusement park accident. two men and two women died when a raft overturned river rapids ride in australia. the water ride malfunctioning, throwing people from the raft and trapping others underneath. >> one of the rides have sustained a -- some sort of malfunction causing two people to be ejected from a ride. another two people were caught inside the ride. >> reporter: park workers rushing to help the injured. horrified witnesses at the theme park describe the chaos after the incident.

front of them flipped off and turned around and saw the whole thing flip over and heard everyone screaming. she came out hysterically crying and then two people that worked here took her away. >> reporter: normally the ride holds people inside a circular raft floating down a rapid river pulling the raft along a conveyer belt. now investigators are trying to understand what caused the raft to flip over on the conveyer belt. australia's prime minister speaking out about the tragedy. >> it is a very sad day thorough investigation of the causes of this accident over the days that follow. >> reporter: according to australia media there were reports of problems with the ride earlier in the day. investigators are going to be looking into that and pouring over security camera footage to figure out what went wrong. the park is closed. >> i would imagine that, okay, thanks very much. we move on to that massive manhunt in oklahoma for a man who killed two relatives, attacked police officers and

midwest city, oklahoma. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, george. the fbi and u.s. marshals have now joined the search here. this massive manhunt for a man named michael vance accused of shooting six people killing two of them and wounding two police officers. he hasn't been seen in more than 24 hours, the leads are getting cold and police are wondering if he might be dead from his own wounds. overnight, two oklahoma sheriff's deputies released victims of a violent rampage that has led to a statewide manhunt. >> two gunshot victims, that's affirmative to the leg and foot area. both patients are conscious. >> reporter: the man believed to be behind the attacks is labeled armed and dangerous. he's wounded and posted his getaway on facebook. >> let me tell you it hurts. >> reporter: even if we have that we don't want to get engaged in a shootout with someone armed with an ak-47.

approach. >> reporter: 38-year-old michael vance suspected of murdering his aunt and uncle in a small town 35 miles outside of oklahoma city. and allegedly shooting those two police officers and taking off in their patrol pickup with an ak-47. vance then accused of attacking three more people while he made his getaway stealing two different getaway cars. >> i'm about to steal another car like right now. this is gonna be intense. pregnant wife had their car taken from them at gunpoint. >> he's got an assault rifle and tells us to get out of the car. >> letting you all know this is real, see that's a gun. that's the real deal. >> reporter: polpolly was shot the leg. >> i got down but i had already been shot. >> reporter: vance displayed his own injuries on facebook.

police shot me. >> reporter: police are warning the public that if they see this man, to stay away from him. along with an ak-47 he has a communicable disease and people are worried he might try to spread it. the race for the white house two weeks to the day till election day and hillary clinton is leading in the polls and calling on her top surrogates including president obama to make her case as donald trump takes media coverage into his own hands and abc's cecilia vega is her good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. two weeks to go and it is time for the closing arguments. donald trump is going after the media and those polls claiming that they're rigged. hillary clinton is feeling so confident right now she's happy to let others do the attacking for her. donald trump claiming the system is rigged launched one of his famous attacks on the media overnight. >> these people are among the most dishonest people in the world, the media. >> reporter: and he's now trying

equation altogether. launching a tv show on his facebook page, his aides there inside trump tower anchoring coverage leading up to his nightly rallies. the inaugural broadcast, not without some hiccups. >> what's going on? >> give them a second, boys. it's all right. >> yep. >> reporter: on the other side hillary clinton feeling so confident she's now leaving her heavy hitting to others. from elizabeth warren. >> get this, donald. and on november 8th we nasty women are going to march our nasty feet to cast our nasty votes to get you out of our lives forever. >> reporter: to joe biden. >> i'd like to take him behind the gym if i were in high school. i mean, all kidding aside, wouldn't you? i mean, for real. >> reporter: even president obama getting in on the action

before, i think, is somebody questioning the integrity of elections and the will of the people. >> reporter: trump landing a spot on kimmel's mean tweets. the president all too happy to play along. >> president obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the united states, exclamation point. @realdona @realdonaldtrump. well, @realdonaldtrump, at least i will go >> yeah, ouc >> yeah, ouch. so clinton is now feeling so confident she's not just campaigning for her own win on the top of the ticket but also for down ballot candidates too, both clinton and trump are in that also important battleground of florida where clinton has a lead in the poll, george, and voting is already under way there. >> okay, cecilia, let's dig into the polls right now. our latest tracking poll out shows clinton holding that 12-point lead over trump. want to bring in jon karl to talk about where things stand

solidifying her hold on the race. >> reporter: especially state by state where it matters. our partners at fivethirtyeight now give hillary clinton nearly 84% chance of winning the election. and, george, understand why, take a look at our abc news race ratings. of course, the red states are advantage donald trump. blue state, advantage hillary clinton. right now, just in the states where hillary clinton is already leading, she gets to 308 electoral votes. that's more than enough to win the presidency. >> there's a massive shift that changes everything across the board but absent that let's look at what the most plausible path is for donald trump to get those 270 electoral votes. >> reporter: this is the way the trump team sees the race in their path. they take this map, they say they'll hang on to the traditionally red states of utah and arizona, convert nevada, win nevada, win the state of florida, they're still not there yet. win the state of north carolina and then win the state of ohio,

not there yet but they then win the state of new hampshire, that gets them to 269, 269, then they have their eyes on the second congressional district of maine, a single electoral vote that would get them to 270 as you can see. a very narrow path to victory. >> one of the problems at least four of those states, just about every public poll in the month of october has her ahead right now and the early vote has started. >> reporter: yeah, the early vote is not looking good for donald trump. we already hav 1 million voted just yesterday. we don't know how they voted but we do have some information on who has voted. and if you look at the state of nevada, 52% of the ballots cast have been cast by democrats. only 30% by republicans. far outpassing more democrats when they won the race four years ago. north carolina, 55% of the ballots requested have been requested by women and as you know we have a big gender gap in

for hillary clinton. >> okay, jon, thanks very much. >> all right, thank you, jon. let's bring in matt dowd. how are you doing, my friend. >> michael, i'm great. >> we heard jon talk about the poll numbers and seems like trump has a big uphill climb. do you think he can pull it off? >> no candidate in modern times has come back being this far down at this far late in the process. nobody has ever done it. i think it will akin to the bills comeback against the oilers 20 years ago. >> i was an oilers fan, yes, i do. >> four touchdowns down. and they came back. he'll have to channel his inner doug flutie and need a couple of hail marys and our fathers. >> our tracking poll has hillary clinton up by 12 but the just released cnn poll has her up only by 5. people want to know why is there such a major difference. >> i think it's important for the viewers to look at this and if i were everybody, i would take all the polls, average them and get to where the number realistically is. i think it's around seven or

eight-point lead you will have polls real, true that will have her at 11 and 12 and polls that have her at four or five. if the number sits in the middle. that's why you get those two. >> we heard in cecilia vega's report, elizabeth warren hammering trump about those nasty women remarks yet in the new cnn poll it shows trump is still getting 41% of women voters. does that tell you anything. >> even in a large electoral loss in a national loss, donald trump's going to get million votes in this election. even in a loss. and of that number he's going to get 25 or 30 million women votes. part is not just donald trump but it's a comparison between hillary clinton and many of those women dislike hillary clinton more than they dislike donald trump. >> jon, one of the things that the trump team seems to be counting on is there's some kind of a systemic bias in all of these public polls. >> they think these polls are overstating democrats. they believe that there is a

silent majority to borrow nixon's phrase that will carry him through but you have to believe that all of these polls are off including the state polls. >> okay, two weeks from today we will find out. now to bad weather on both coasts this morning. we're feeling the chill in times square and, ginger, there's some major storms out west. >> robin, look at this. the lightning in newport beach, california. something you don't see every day. the video showing you there was a san diego high school football student or a football player thankfully he is okay this morning and that was just the first storm. there is another storm on the way. that's the one that went through. this one will impact parts of central and southern california by thursday into friday. look at some of those storms at 4:00 a.m. mudslides in some of the burn areas and a quick look, robin, at that freeze watch from virginia up to massachusetts. >> oh, boy, we'll keep an eye on that. thank you. now to amy with the morning's other top stories starting with the controversy over soldiers' bonus. >> that's right.

to pay back the bonuses they received for serving in iraq and afghanistan. members of congress say they're outraged but the "l.a. times" reports the california national guard told lawmakers about this issue two years ago and congress did nothing about it. thousands of soldiers have been ordered to repay the money because a national guard official handed out payments to soldiers, didn't qualify for. militants have launched a four-hour attack on a police academy in pakistan. at least 59 cadets and have been killed at the facility in quetta near the afghan border. isis and the pakistani taliban have claimed responsibility. and back here in this country four teenagers are under arrest in philadelphia after a string of random attacks on the campus of temple university. surveillance video showing there a mob of up to 200 people assaulting and robbing students after they couldn't get into a local theater on friday. well, get ready for sticker shock if you're looking into the price of obamacare plans.

year. many consumers will also be limited to choosing plans from just one provider. finally you don't want to see this on your commute and we don't suggest you doing what this man did. he chased after his car, look at him, on the freeway. he had pulled over but forgot to use the parking brake. if not for a sign that eventually stops the car from rolling, this could have been a lot worse and, of course, those drivers thankfully slowed down but there he is, look, still runnin the other drivers did -- were able to avoid hitting him, thank goodness. i don't know what he thought he was going to do. did he think he would catch the cary. >> watching a lot of movies. somehow get in and stop the car. >> let's just say he wasn't thinking. >> thankfully he's here to still think. >> good point. thank you. >> i appreciate that, amy. now, all eyes are on cleveland tonight. the indians are hosting game one of the world series against the cubs and right across the street, the cavaliers are

our cubs superfan paula faris is in there in the middle of all the chaos. good morning to you, paula. >> good morning, michael. that ring ceremony you mentioned happening right here at quicken loans arena honestly just step as way from progressive field where they'll be playing game one of the world series tonight. they've even changed the tart times to accommodate fans and cleveland fans feeling the winds of change finally blowing in their favor. tonight begins the tale of two cities, two teams in the times after decades of the worst of times. >> baseball gods are saying about this matchup. >> the baseball gods are probably really happy right now relationship the chicago cubs and the cleveland indians both hoping to break their curses and taking extra precaution. >> you want to wear the same underwear. you don't want to have to change your underwear out. i mean, you wash it, but -- >> reporter: the cubs dubbed the lovable losers haven't won the world series since 1908.

might be getting a bit greedy. in the past 50 years chicago has won 11 major sports championships, cleveland, only one. >> cleveland is a city of champions once again. >> reporter: and that was just a couple of months ago when the cavaliers finally broke that losing streak. stephen king even tweeting enough with the cubs. how about some love for the cleveland indians? go, tribe. cleveland essentially has been universally mocked as the even movies like "major league" poking fun at the indians. >> every newspaper in the country has picked us to finish last. >> reporter: but now a renewed feeling of possibility. while much of america is pulling for the cubs, you have george stephanopoulos on your side. >> i'll take it for sure. >> okay, so we mentioned that movie "major league." cleveland fans were pushing for

character wild thing and throw out the first pitch but last night said he couldn't make it. they might be calling upon the lefty. >> i'm ready. cocoa's real answer is who is he? >> i don't care how many games you win, change your underwear. >> michael, decent tonight weatherwise. not as great tomorrow. your local weather in 30

>> did you kill chandra levy? >> i did not. >> reporter: eventually police ruled condit out as a suspect in levy's murder but the man they later convicted, a homeless immigrant named ingmar guandique had his conviction thrown out in july of this year, the entire case based on an unreliable witness. >> now, our wish is that the right person whoever did what they did to my daughter, we get answers. >> reporter: condit has always the d.c. police tried to railroad him. >> there's nothing unusual about my conduct. people have made some speculation about that but -- >> were the police making something out of that? trying to? >> absolutely, yeah. yeah. well, they were trying to make something out of everything they could. >> the condit interview airs thursday on "dr. phil."

condit isn't saying. for the past decade he's been practically in hiding live ing arizona and arizona and working odd jobs selling ice cream. we'll move on to new testimony from the woman featured in that now retracted "rolling stone" article about an alleged rape at a university of virginia frat house. jurors got to see the videotape deposition and new detail, amy. >> she's only her story helped bring attention to sexual assault on campus, now her testimony could help the case of a former associate dean of the school suing over the way she was portrayed in that "rolling stone" article. overnight for the first time jurors hearing from the woman at the center of that now infamous "rolling stone" article, "a rape on campus" in a videotaped deposition played in court monday, the uva opportunity known as jackie says that she was under impression that the

advocacy and details of her alleged rape were not going to be published. i was "i was 20 years old and had no idea there was an off the record or on the record. i was naive." jackie says she felt like she was going to be misquoted but felt pressured by the magazine to participate in the story and that when a friend of hers mentioned her concerns to the reporter, sabrina erdely, erdely responded th responded there is no pulling the plug at this point. it is moving noncelebrity story ever. erdely highly critical of the uva administration including former associate dini coal eramo. >> how would you describe how "rolling stone" portrayed you. >> it made it look like i used the trust of young women to cover up rape and that was so far from anything i would ever do. it's just unbelievable to me. >> reporter: eramo is suing erdely and the magazine for over $7 million saying she was

article's portrayal of eramo saying the dean never discouraged her from reporting the alleged assault, quote, she wanted to see me get some kind of justice. since its publishing the "rolling stone" article has been refracted but jackie maintains that she was assaulted. testifying in deposition that while she believes erdely manipulated her story in order to write something sensational, she believes her intentions were good. i believe she did the best she could. and eramo is suing for more than $7 million saying the article damaged her reputation, her career and her health and this trial is expected to go on at least till the end of this week. >> okay, amy, thanks very much. >> and we have the big board coming up. coming up on our big board the first lady is being called a rock star on the campaign trail. but will she run for office next? we're going to find out about that. plus, what about justin bieber's on stage meltdown.

[ cheers and applause ]

telling somebody backstage. michelle was never wild about politics. michelle once explained to me i try to organize my life not to have a lot of mess around and politics is just a big mess. >> and, cokie, she has repeatedly, michelle obama, repeatedly been asked this and repeatedly she has held steadfast no but democrats in illinois they got some openings coming up and hoping she may change her mi absolutely, absolutely no way. but you know part of -- that's part of the reason she's so effective, robin. everybody knows that she's the real deal. and she's not running for something herself so anything she says actually sounds authentic because it is. >> but, cokie, if she doesn't run for public office what do you think she'll do next. >> she's consulted with other first ladies. she and laura bush are good friends and she's made it clear

to keep girls around the world in school is something that she says will be her life's work. and military families will also stay on her agenda. >> both of the obamas are very young. in their early 50s. they have a lot they can do. >> i know she will continue to be effective and help a lot of people. >> wherever she is. >> and thank you, cokie. next up, a police chief is now defending his department's ridealong program after a civilian passenger was caught in a dangerous shoot-out on sunday. take a look. [ gunshots ] >> shots fired. >> all right, abc's gio benitez joins us now and, gio, steve frazier who is the chief of police in madeira, california, this is what he's saying. >> i think our policy is sound in regards to how we approach and look at ride-alongs. i don't foresee any changes necessarily coming down the

doesn't foresee any changes. does that surprise you and, secondly, what's going on with this case? >> first, i guess we should say everyone is okay, thank goodness but i'm not surprised that the officer -- the chief said this because these four -- these police officers ride-alongs are very important talking about community outreach, showing the community how important police work is and you also are looking at recruitment, whether people who say they're going to be police officers actually want to do the job. >> help you figure that out. >> talking about 14 shots, two shots that went through this car, one of the bullets went right between the passenger and the officer. this is dangerous. >> yeah, very much so. of course, if you're going to be with police officers. we see this all around the country, ride-along programs. >> they'll look at this and look at this video and they're probably going to use this

country because, in fact, this particular department is going to be using this video as part of their training and also you got to look at these bulletproof vests. this officer in this case had what they call a soft bulletproof vest. she did not have anything on. so i don't believe that they're going to look at this and say there there's not any change coming. i think they'll have to look at that and say we'll have to do something. >> protect the passenger a little more. >> absolutely, gio, thanks so much. okay. hit it, li ? is it too late now to say sorry ? >> the biebs' popular song "sorry," the singer walked offstage midconcert in england. here's a video of him posted on youtube. >> the screaming during these breaks has got to stop. >> drop >> drop the mike moment. former editor in chief of "people" magazine and our dear,

>> good morning. >> is here. this is not the first time. >> it's not. he's going through pop star growing pains. there is a new movie out called "eight days a week." if you want to hear skull stabbing screams, go see that. that wasn't so bad. look, he's growing up and going through this for seven or eight years and trying to bring his audience along and they're not ready to go. i think like you said though we've seen these petulant outbursts before. we'll probably see them again. and, bad night. >> he said i want to connect with you in the break so stop screaming but he's a young kids at a concert. his beliebers. >> exactly. >> at what point do you think there is a point where these kids say enough is enough. >> the kids, no, i don't think so. he refused to do selfies a while ago and had his teenage bad years where he was misbehaving and withstood that. they'll withstand this. he came back out and apologized

we were we were just chatting and have a lot to talk about. i wa "gma" and ask how many of you are finding dory fans? yeah. oh, yeah. well, i've got great news for you. and for you at home. "finding dory" is out this morning on digital release. the adventures of everyone's favorite forgetful fish can now be viewed in our own home. yeah, it's exciting plus for you guys in times square, all of you, are getting the digital code so you can download

>> okay. they're going out. they're going fast, lara. >> all right, ginger, thank you so much. and now we're going to talk about the best ways to prevent joint pain. i had to have surgery and my hip replaced because of a through -- how do you say it. >> argue throwscopic surgery. >> thank you, osteoarthritis, big problem. good news there are ways to strengthen the body and help avoid invasive operations. we're going to get into that with todd, my physical therapist in a moment. some very simple exercises i promise will help you but first here's the back story. >> i know all too well severe joint pain can be absolutely debilitating. >> oh, my god.

common form of joint pain affects 27 million americans. almost 20% of them are under the age of 60. it is painful and it is the leading cause of joint replacement surgery. most people think the condition is impossible to avoid. the simple result of growing older. but that's not true and doctors say there are ways to prevent or at least put off the worst of osseoarthritis. >> the prevailing thought is that if you keep your muscles strong, flexible and in good abnormal joint stresses. >> reporter: although doctors cannot always predict who will get osseoarthritis. they think certain kinds of exercise, though, can go a long way towards helping the body. >> i think one of the most important things when it comes to exercising is to be assessed. to make sure you're doing exercises that are appropriate for you. >> all right, we're joined by my physical therapist todd wilkowski. thank you, thank you, thank you

surgery, up, moving. i ran two miles yesterday and a lot of this is -- well, it's all about exercise. and what we're talking about today is exercising, when you have osseoarthritis to hopefully avoid surgery altogether. how important is exercising? >> exercise is important because it brings blood flow to the joints and to the musculature and also important for weight control. we know that when someone is carrying a couple extra pounds for each extra pound they carry it they're hit by six pounds and three pounds of extra stress at the knee joint if if you're feeling those aches and pains just getting up and moving can really make i difference, a couple pounds, you had me in an ultra g treadmill and took away some of my body weight to run so it was less pressure on the joints, the difference it makes is unbelievable. so getting up and moving is critical. >> it's critical and like you referenced the ultra g, to actually understand what it feels like to take a little bit

>> all right, so let's talk about some myths. you'll be our myth buster. there are a lot of questions people have. first i want to say arthritis is not just for old people. i just want to say it's for active people so a lot have asked those questions, what's the deal. why so young, i know i'm only 26 but it happens so we're here to help you with important information. number one, here's a myth, guys. we want the audience to participate. tell us if you think it's a truth or myth. cracking your knuckles causes arthri hand. most people think that's a myth. i got a couple -- todd, the real answer. >> it is a myth. [ cheers and applause ] even though i tell my children otherwise, because i can't stand the popping at the dinner table, it's actually a response of -- a release of gases within the joint. it's -- >> it's no big deal. >> to big deal. no scientific evidence to back up that it causes arthritis.

is better than ice for sore joints. is that a myth or is that true? heat is better than ice for joints? a lot of people think it's a myth that heat is better. a couple of truths in there. what do you say, todd. >> it's a myth. it actually -- it actually depends on the time of the day when you're using it. ice usually better in the evenings or after someone has been active on a joint and it's inflamed. it helps alleviate the pain. we usually recommend joins up or prior to exercise >> that's the way we do it and then ice. let's get up. we want to show you a couple of quick exercises. oh, wait. they're saying we have time for one more myth buster. when it comes to exercise, no pain no gain. is that true or a myth. >> what do we got? >> we got a mixed bag. >> it is a mixed bag. there's actually some truth to that and myth as well. >> all right, everybody wins. >> what's the deal?

pain and soreness you experience for 24 to 36 hours after exercise in the muscles, good. intense sharper pain that you can get in the joint, not so good. that's something where you want to avoid that exercise and, you know, seek attention from a medical professional. >> that throbbing, trust me, you'll know it. they're very different. that's exactly what we discovered. we'll have to do our exercises and do them and put them on our website because we've run out of time. thank you for all the myths and thank you guys for participate. so much great information out there. really important to know so we'll definitely post that. coming up, cupcakes. after a workout who doesn't need
