are still trying to work through the mess investigating the crime scene. the suspect's car was rammed off the road right over there. now he got out of the car, started firing in the air, sprinting to that restaurant you mentioned just down the road. that's where that hostage situation ensued. he was eventually killed. overnight that high-speed chase. >> i would say 45, 50. >> reporter: a procession of police chasing the suspect who allegedly carjacked two cars driving on the wrong side of the road barreling through intersections nearly smashing into one car after another. deputies finally sending the car spinning to a stop. >> the guy's running. no more than than maybe ten feet from me. pistol in the air shooting. i thought he shot somebody. took off and then an officer took off and chased him and went in the chris' & pitt's. >> reporter: dozens flocking out of the restaurant hands in the

air. >> people would get out first and kept saying, i don't want to hurt nobody. he said, everybody go, everybody, get out. >> reporter: but not everyone. at least four hostages remained inside. >> units stand by, making an approach. >> reporter: after a tense standoff, the s.w.a.t. team bursts in. you can hear the spray of gunfire. a deputy-shoved shooting occurred in the restaurant. >> i have not yet confirmed whose firearm caused the suspect's death. >> reporter: we learned that suspect was shot and killed and miraculously somehow none of those four hostages that were in the restaurant at that time were hurt at all in that hail of bullets. want to give you a sense of the scope of this crime scene that goes about 20 yards that way. 100 yards that way. sheriff's officers and homicide detectives have spent the whole night interviewing dozens of eyewitnesses. george. >> thank goodness those hostages are safe. okay, matt, thanks very much.

>> what an incredible scene. now to a new wildfire in california, exploding in size overnight. homes destroyed. hundreds more in jeopardy with people forced to flee. abc's aditi roy is in jackson, california, with the latest. good morning, aditi. >> reporter: good morning, robin. take a look at the wall of flames behind me leading right up to the road. this blaze exploded overnight tripling in side and forcing homeowners out the door. overnight, a massive wildfire tripling in size to nearly 15,000 acres outside sacramento. 1500 structures in jeopardy. >> yeah, structure protection. >> reporter: and this morning, only 10% containment. >> it was scary. i can't -- i can't put it into words. >> reporter: rescuers scrambling to get to areas where they fear people may still be trapped. >> firefighters were working hard to get into those areas and aircraft as you've seen overhead

has been hitting it very hard. >> reporter: but flames destroying eight structures so far. police going door to door issuing mandatory evacuations. >> we got some stuff out of my daughter's house. >> reporter: this morning, in jackson, 10,000 still without power. schools in the area closed today. it's still unclear how the fire started. that is still under investigation. robin. >> aditi, thank you. dry in the west. wet across much of the rest of the country. ginger, flooding from pretty much here to texas? >> yes, so much to show you. the firefighters not only struggling through the flames but struggling with the record-breaking heat. it's going to do it again today especially in that sacramento valley. you could break a record at 107, redding, 110. the heat goes up to portland where they could break a record at 96 and heat advisories all the way to san diego. flash flooding and see it from san antonio, these pictures coming in. at least one person killed.

one missing at this hour and several injured as they got swept up in the flash flooding. the numbers are pretty impressive, 2 to 5 inches of rain even when you got to the east coast this picture out of connecticut, long island had 4 1/2 inches and now most of that has moved into maine and we move out of here today. i'll have a whole lot coming up with the severe weather in the center of the nation. >> thanks. we turn to the race of the president. now "your voice, your vote" and the most revealing and emotional reflections yet from joe biden. opening up to stephen colbert about the pain of losing his son and why that may prevent him from running for president. abc's jon karl brings us that from the white house. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. this was not your typical late night interview. you could clearly see biden struggling with the loss of his son and genuinely unsure if he's ready to run for president. overnight, vice president biden acknowledged on "the late show with stephen colbert" he's still unsure if he wants to run for president. >> i don't think any man or

woman should run for president unless, number one, they know exactly why they would want to be president and, two, they can look at the folks out there and say, i promise you, you have my whole heart, my whole soul, my energy and my passion to do this. and i'd be lying if i said that i knew i was there. >> reporter: the vp paid an emotional tribute to his son beau who died of brain cancer in may. >> i was a hell of a success. my son was better than me and he was better than me in almost every way. >> reporter: he hinted his grief may still hold him back from a 2016 run. >> nobody h a right in my view to seek that office unless they're willing to give it 110% of who they are. i find myself and you understand, just sometimes it

just sort of overwhelms you. >> reporter: despite biden's uncertainty about running his support is on the rise. and many are pushing him to enter the race including stephen colbert. >> i think that your experience and your example of suffering and service is something that would be sorely missed in the race. >> reporter: at one point during the interview the crowd there, the audience started chanting biden's name as if encouraging him to run. george, biden responded by saying, be careful what you wish for. >> this comes with a brand-new poll out now showing hillary clinton at new lows. >> reporter: these are incredible numbers. take a look at this. hillary clinton now under 40% nationally, just 37%. sanders second with 27 and biden not even running yet at 20%. but maybe more interesting in this poll is the potential head-to-head matchups against republicans. look at this, hillary clinton is now statistically tied with jeb bush and donald trump in a

hypothetical general election matchup. joe biden on the other hand, easily beats both jeb bush and donald trump. i can assure you that biden and his advisers will look at this poll very closely? that's a switch. thanks very much. now to new security threats on this 14th anniversary of the september 11th attacks. al qaeda now targeting some of america's wealthiest men and abc's pierre thomas is tracking those threats from washington. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, robin. al qaeda is pushing a who's who hit list and is using the internet to inspire lone wolves to attack and this morning there's new fresh evidence that isis is using social media to inspire lone wolves, as well, specifically on this 9/11 anniversary. this morning, the latest edition of al qaeda's online manager "inspire" is calling on followers to cripple the u.s. economy specifically by targeting icons of american business. among those named, microsoft

founder, bill gates, billionaire investor, warren buffett and media giant michael bloomberg. while no specific plot has been identified sourced remind that the boston marathon bombers got their explosives designs by "inspire" and some murdered in the "charlie hebdo" attacks were mentioned in the magazine. they warn agents across the country to be mindful of the 9/11 anniversary. also overnight, national security authorities announcing the arrest of a florida man apparently inspired by isis accused of disseminating trucks on how to build a pressure cooker bomb like those used in the boston attacks. the suspect allegedly urging an fbi undercover informant, someone he thought was a radical, to detonate the bomb at a 9/11 commemoration being held in kansas city, missouri, writing of the bomb, "use shards of metal and nails, as much sharp stuff as you can." and this morning, abc news has

learned that the fbi is monitoring a threat posted on social media by isis hackers vowing to attack government websites today on 9/11. so 14 years later law enforcement still very much on alert, george. >> always a day of high threat. okay, pierre, thanks very much. we get the latest on frightening attacks on drivers in phoenix. another shooting on the highway thursday brings the confirmed total to 11. schools are rerouting buss to keep students safe and abc's kayna whitworth is on the scene in phoenix. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: yeah, good morning to you, george. today this directive that these buses behind me along with buses in three other districts will not be using arizona highways when they bring kids to school today. the superintendent saying whomever is responsible for these shootings has no regard for human life and these kids are too precious to ignore that kind of behavior. this morning, schools across phoenix ordering their buses to avoid i-10 and nearby freeways following yet another shooting on the busy roads thursday.

a bullet hole discovered in the side of this truck at 9:40 a.m. >> i just would rather take the streets than the freeway and just, you know, risk getting shot or something. >> reporter: this now the 11th shooting in just 13 days along this eight-mile stretch of highway. detectives saying they're looking for an experienced shooter and also possible copycats. would it be possible this person was shooting and driving or was in the passenger seat. >> at this point i think all scenarios are possible and we're looking at all of them. whether it's coming from a moving vehicle, multiple people in a moving vehicle or someone off the side of the highway. >> reporter: experts say the best way to catch a shooter is through ballistics. one showing us the way detectives analyze bullet holes. >> this is the shot coming from in front of the car, broadside or overtaking the car. >> reporter: former fbi agents saying if there's just one shooter they're likely attacking the public as a show of power.

so it's also really important to note our fbi expert is also saying that it's highly likely that this shooter is actually using the same highways where these shootings are happening so while it might be inconvenient, george, the superintendent saying these buses won't be back on those highways until an arrest is made. >> i bet. thanks, kayna, very much. amy with the other top stories and this refugee crisis in europe continues to spiral. >> that's right, george, robin, there are shocking new images this morning that show horrific conditions inside the refugee camps in hungary. the camps are filthy and overcrowded. some families being held in metal pens, food, water and medical care are in short supply. 5,000 more refugees most of them from syria have arrived at the hundred gatherian border in the last 24 hours alone. back here in the united states, president obama now preparing to accept 10,000 syrian refugees but critics fear terrorists will sneak in with legitimate asylum

the cucumber itself. >> you started your career at the cdc as a food investigator. >> yeah, yeah, an outbreak investigator. and it's pretty cool how they detected this. there's this automated system called pulse net and compares the molecular fingerprint of bacteria that causes disease across the country and it detected 32 people around the country with the exact same strain of salmonella in different places, the alarms went off. that led to the detectives going out, the fda identifying that it was cucumbers in mexico, the recall going on, incredible operation, very difficult because if you ask somebody what did you have last week? no one remembers cucumbers. they're always in something else. you know, if it was a taco or fried chicken, no problem. cucumbers are really hard to figure out. >> i'm glad they got to the bottom of it. >> really important. >> i know people have a lot of questions and dr. besser will take yours on twitter throughout the morning. tweet him at @drrichardbesser. is that your handle

jean king here with us as we were watching like everybody else what took place here in new york and at the pentagon and shanksville and i know 9/11 is a special day for you too. >> i was here in new york but more importantly i'm a daughter of a police officer and a firefighter. in his career that's what his life was about, serving others so to everyone who made a difference with 9/11 and beyond, obviously it's still affecting us so i just want to thank everyone. >> that's how we feel. even 14, 14 years later. here we are. it was a couple days after the open. >> tuesday morning after the open which finished -- i don't know if it finished on a sunday or monday that year. >> let's talk about this year's u.s. open. what do you think about the tournament so far. >> i think there is so much excitement over serena having an opportunity to win all four majors in the same year. calendar year that --hat's all everyone is talking about. >> hard not to. >> know, of course. she deserves it but i know when venus and serena played the other night, it was interesting with the crowd and then you've

got federer who i think is just playing the best he's played in like ten years so you've got both of these things happening. people are dying for him to win one more major. he beat djokovic. you have serena, you know, the four majors so there's a lot of spotlight on our sport right now. >> there is a lot but you talk about djokovic, were it not for the loss of the french he would be going for a calendar -- >> exactly. >> he's under the radar. probably likes it that way. >> i think federer still gets it, 34. everyone is getting anxious about him. please don't quit. >> you can understand the importance of what serena is trying to accomplish. >> well -- >> how hard it is to do. >> it's really hard. she would be the fourth woman in the history -- we're over 100 years old, our sport. marie connelly, margaret comport '70, graf in '8. two men have only done it.

rod laver who did it twice in the calendar year so it's so rare. >> i hope if it happens that steffi graf is there. i would love to see her owe open. that would be great. i want to talk to you, this is another reason why you're here, people don't realize that september is afib month. first of all explain what it is. >> afib did an irregular heartbeat. i have afib. one out of every three people that have afib are going to have a permanent -- are going to have a stroke that will leave them permanently disaged. that's one of three who have it. so if you have afib, what jerry west and i have done we joined with jansen to start this website, myafibrisk.com and you can go to this and calculate your own stroke risk and that way every time somebody does go to it, jansen will give a contribution to mended hearts with which is a nonprofit peer-to-peer group network that helps heart patients, so it's very important to me personally.
