disperse the crowd to get to the wounded man. >> there are no signs that the disorder will end anytime soon. we have team coverage from all the angles this morning, including former new york city police commissioner ray kelly offering thoughts on how authorities are handling the situation. we start with alex perez in the middle of it all in ferguson. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, paula. it has been a long night here in ferguson. the chaos beginning just after midnight. authorities are trying to enforce the midnight curfew when they found out some of the protesters are armed. >> it's mass job. we're going to lob smoke first. smoke first, to see if ke can disperse the crowd without having to throw gas. >> reporter: chaos erupting overnight. as s.w.a.t. teams move in after reports of a shooter at the protests. police in full riot gear. one protester was shot and in critical condition this morning. seven people under arrest for refusing to disperse. >> we got a report of a shooting victim. they did deploy tear gas in an

a planned rally late this afternoon. dan? >> alex, you said it, scenes out of the middle east in middle america. thank you. stay safe down there. meanwhile, this morning, for the first time, we're getting a look at the officer who shot and killed michael brown. that's the incident that kicked off this chaos. officer darren wilson. he's in hiding but we're learning a lot about him. and abc's steve osunsami is covering that angle, also from ferguson this morning. steve, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you, dan. the families have been saying this. police shared long before this the pictures and mug shots and names of all of those people involved in the looting and beating earlier this week. long before they shared and identified this officer. the mistrust here is strong. this morning, families here are getting this first look at the policeman who shot and killed michael brown. here's officer darren wilson, awarded for his police work last

february in a photo posted to facebook. he's just 28 years old, a six-year veteran of the ferguson police department. this morning, he has to hide in a safe place, secret shelter from the firestorm of rage and anger running through the streets. this suburb of st. louis now known to the world after wilson shot michael brown in the street. >> justice! >> reporter: missouri's governor took his call for order to a city church yesterday. >> this is a test of whether a community, this community, any community, can break the cycle of fear, distrust, and violence. >> reporter: he ordered the midnight curfew. it didn't go over well. >> you need to charge that police with murder. >> reporter: at one point, he's caught in the middle of the screaming. >> we're going to watch this one day at a time. this is, uh -- um -- this is not normal. and our hope was that we would return back to a peaceful normal. >> but killing our children isn't normal! >> wait, wait, wait, wait. >> reporter: just when people

were settling down, the pot boiled over on friday, when the ferguson police chief released this surveillance video. police believe it shows michael brown, wearing the red hat, in the middle of a strong-arm robbery at the liquor store 15 minutes before he was shot. thieves hit the store hard early saturday and robbed three others. and the business owner says the police didn't do a thing. >> when i made the 911 call, they all told me, it ain't our problem. >> reporter: brown's cousin spoke up for the store owners. >> every time you do something like this, it pushes my baby cousin's case backwards. see, they're not helping. >> reporter: the department of justice urged police here not to release that video. worried it would make things worse. the police here beat down, wanted to get more of their story out. the police chief tells me he and his officers have received death threats daily. dan? >> you and i discussed this a little bit last night on "world news." i want to probe your thinking. what do you think after being

there for a week now, what do you think will calm the situation down finally? >> reporter: absent the prosecution of this officer, i'm not sure what's going to ease the tensions here. people are demanding prosecution of this officer. they want to hear charges, but the district attorney is telling us it could be weeks before any decision is made on that. dan? >> steve osunsami has been on the ground for a week for us. steve, su. thank you. let's get the perspective of ray kelly, the former police commissioner of the city of new york. good morning, commissioner. this has been going on for over a year. the democratic governor imposed a curfew, a state of emergency. what is your take on how the situation is being handled? >> i think you have to preface anything you say by emphasizing the fact that ferguson is a very small town. they don't have the resources. community affairs, that sort of thing. hindsight is always 20/20. in my career, i learned to do things the hard way.

i think there are things there that had they had an opportunity to do over, they would do over. for instance, i think you need full disclosure from the beginning. you put out all the information you have. this is what we have. this is what we don't have. this is what we know. the specifics as far as numbers of shots fired, bullets -- the wounds on the body. that sort of thing. we don't know this. i think part of the problem came about because there was this sense that they were holding back information. i think also you need one person in charge of this operation. and i think the governor tried to do that with captain johnson. it's not clear whether or not he's totally in charge because you have multiple jurisdictions. you have many small town, small agencies there because they just don't have the resources to do it on their own. you have the state police, the county police, all of these towns. they're lessons that they're

learning. >> short of charging the officer, what can be done to ease the tensions right now? >> communication. that's what they're attempting to do. continue the go out, meet with the community. they're not easy sessions, as you can see. i think there's a fatigue factor with captain johnson. quite frankly. he's doing everything out there. it's taking a toll on him. you can see it. but continue to have meetings with communities. continue to get that exchange and listen to them. as the process goes forward, the grand jury process hopefully continues to go forward quickly. >> wthank you for your time. you don't think this is going to end anytime soon. thank yoso much. dan? >> thank you, commissioner. president obama has weighed in on this crisis from his vacation calling for calm. and for a full investigation into the shooting of young michael brown. that was three days ago. the question this morning, should the president be doing more? let's bring in jon karl in washington. jon, how worried is the white

house about the optics of all of this? having him on vacation while this city burns? is there talk he should leave his vacation and try to calm things down in ferguson? >> no talk that i can sense from the white house staff at this point. the president is getting regular briefings. we're told he's closely monitoring this. it's a tough situation for him in terms of getting too much micromanaging. trying to act, as it were, at the mayor of ferguson. what he's done, as you said, he's ordered the investigation, the fbi and the department of justice investigating what happened with michael brown. he's praised the governor. one of the other things he did in his statement. it would be a little bit difficult for him to come in right now and step on the governor's toes on this. they're uneasy about this and unsure what role the president has to play. >> there has been a -- at this point, a sizable federal roll with the fbi fanning out and investigating the case.

jon, thank you. we should say that jon will be co-anchoring "this week" later with martha raddatz who is also in ferguson. along with guests including the governor of missouri, jay nixon. paula, over to you. the other story we're tracking this morning, the disturbing new details about the kidnapping of two amish girls in upstate new york. police revealing more, fearing these were not the pair's only victims. abc's gio benitez joins us with more. good morning, gio. >> reporter: good morning, paula. a sad development in the story. the two little amish girls were sexually abused by their alleged kidnappers. a couple, this, as we learn more about those suspects. this morning, potentially haunting news in the case of the amish missing girls abandoned and found alive. a source close to the investigation now telling abc news that the amish girls may not have been the first alled victims. saying there could have been others in the past. >> do you have anything to say? >> reporter: the startling news

just a day after stephen howells and nicole vaisey were locked up in a county jail. held without bond, accused of kidnapping a 7 and 12-year-old girl, sisters from a roadside stand, allegedly with the intent to inflict physical injury. >> the motive was to victimize to take these girls from their home and to victimize these girls. >> reporter: sources say the pair gave lengthy written and recorded statements. when asked if they confessed, the sheriff said -- >> there's been detailed provided to us, yes. >> reporter: the girls disappeared wednesday from their family farm. the sheriff saying coercion tactics were used to lure the girls into the car. after allegedly being kept for 4 hours, the girls were set free. barefoot, cold, hungry. they knocked on this door. the husband and wife speaking exclusively to abc news. >> we just returned the kids to their parents. that's where they wanted to be. >> i can't imagine the nightmare the parents went through. >> reporter: howells has not yet hired a private attorney.

and vaisey's attorney didn't comment. they've not entered any plea. the sheriff says he's glad they're in the slammer, calling them dangerous. >> we feel there was a definite potential of other victims from these two. >> reporter: prosecutors telling abc news those little girls were sexually abused during their time away from home. we've been told more charges against the alleged kidnappers are on the way, including potential federal charges. they'll face a judge on thursday. >> a horrifying story. gio, thank you. there has been a lot of other news overnight. let's get to ron with a look at the overnight headlines. >> good morning, dan and paula. good morning, everyone. a shooting outside of a restaurant in boston's chinatown has sent four people to the hospital. police are on the scene of that shooting that broke out just before 3:00 a.m. local time. we'll bring you more details as they become available. a potential presidential contender fighting for his political career. rick perry, the powerful and

long-serving republican governor of texas, stepping to the mike saturday denouncing his indictment on criminal charges of abuse of power and coercion. >> political differences with indictments in this country. it is outrageous. >> and the charges stem from a threat by governor perry to vie tow state funding for a democratic district attorney, after rosemary lemberg refused to step down after a dwi situation. a document obtained for the las vegas review journal shows hillary clinton receives $225,000 to speak. her contract requires she gets a private jet to travel and a presidential suite at a hotel of her choice. clinton also requires that there be no recording of her speech. the only permitted record of what she says made by a stenographer whose transcription

will be given only to hillary clinton. >> did she specify what color m&ms she wanted? >> yeah, and yellow roses. moving on to a bizarre security breach at san francisco airport. man accused of posing as a tsa agent and privately screening two women at that airport. prosecutors say no criminal charges will be filed. because, listen to this one, it's not illegal to impersonate a tsa agent. >> not yet. >> they're trying to track down the women who this guy allegedly screened. and a florida gas thief, this is from our florida file, he got burned when his plan for some free fuel backfired. the man was allegedly using an illegal siphon to steal gas. the man now out on bond is facing charges of first-degree grand theft and criminal mischief. he's recovering from burns to his legs and abdomen.

his wife and four children were sound asleep. in a statement to abc news, he says -- his wife shannon woke up to loud voices only to find five people in their bedroom. with flashlights. >> she yelled out, what are you doing in my house? they fled. >> reporter: after interviewing the young adults, authorities are calling it all a prank, saying the teenagers were all partying next door, thought allen's home was vacant, and wanted to see what it looked like. police have not charged them with anything because the group entered the home with an unlocked door and didn't steal anything. >> apparently under florida law, unless the victim files a complaint, the police can't charge trespassing unless they witness it. >> reporter: allen and his family are blowing the whistle on this. telling us that -- the suggestion that anyone can enter an occupied bedroom and in the middle of the night without consequences is unsettling. they intend to press charges. the coral gables police

department says they're continuing to work with the miami-dade attorney's office and will work with the allen family regarding the filing of criminal charges. i don't think we have seen the last of this. >> it's hard not to share their outrage. coming up on "good morning america," a big apology over something you probably see on your computer every day. who is saying sorry and why? >> and sorry ain't good enough. >> and why is sara doing that weird thing with her hands? it's all coming up in "pop news." it's all coming up in pop news. meet lance. lance is thinking about switching to samsung, though he's not ready to admit it. besides, it's not like he's thinking about it all the time...
