the shooter. >> the first shooting this week was near tacoma, washington, but it could have been much worse were it not for several acts of bravery. >> reporter: at this high school, a lesson in extreme, tragic violence. >> i never thought this would ever happen to me. it's just really scary, and it's kind of hard to believe. >> reporter: in the small town of aztec, around 8:00 a.m., a gunman enters the school and begins shooting. these students taking cover as gunshots rang out. two stunts, a male and a female, were killed. officers, some with their own kids at the school arrived within a minute of the first call. >> we could hear casings hitting the floor. >> reporter: the gunman is now dead. police will not say if he was a student or how he died. and law enforcement sources tell abc news that the responding officers actually had to shoot through a locked door in order to get into the school. upstairs, they found the

multiple magazines next to the suspect. clayton sandell, abc news, denver. >> and police have now revealed that that gunman was in fact a student at that school. but we're going to turn back to southern california where the wildfires are growing more and more ferocious. 439 homes have been destroyed in ventura county alone. that fire could last several more weeks. and now new fires have erupted including one in san diego county. that one has destroyed at least 20 homes so far and those santa ana winds are fueling the fires expected to last through sunday. >> right now six major fires are burning out of control stretching from santa barbara to san diego. that blaze exploded over six and a half square miles in hours, killing at least a dozen racehorses. marci gonzalez is on the front lines with details. >> reporter: a new wildfire now spreading fast in san diego

streets as residents rush to evacuate. >> i've been going up and down the roads, making everybody leave. i've got one left. i need to tell the sheriffs to go get him, he won't leave. >> reporter: to the north, 150 square miles scorched. the thomas fire closing in on this beach front community, the heat melting glass over what was the back glass of this car and over staircases leading to nowhere. over 400 structures destroyed. >> hospitals, homes, people's livings destroyed. >> reporter: across all of the while fires, the flames are fueled by low humidity and powerful santa ana winds with gusts up to 60 miles per hour. >> mother nature decides when we are going to be able to put the fire out. >> reporter: until then, a scramble four so many to grab what they can. and get out. >> mandatory evacuation! >> reporter: nearly 200,000 people under mandatory evacuation orders.

for the firefighters and showing their appreciation. >> one turkey. thank you. >> reporter: for their days of relentless work to contain the flames. and they likely have at least several days to go with these strong winds expected through the weekend. so a tough battle ahead, especially for some of these firefighters on the front lines who have lost their own homes. kenneth and diane? >> it's so difficult to look at some of those images of entire communities up in flames. >> they've had a really tough week, tough weeks and months to come as well. the best way to get a sense of these wildfires is from above. >> let's take a look from a helicopter pilot at kabc in los angeles, these images are incredible. >> reporter: we're at the heel of the fire, nestled between the communities of fillmore and santa paula. that is on fire right now, a very large section. communities down here are extr

winds. the winds are really starting to pick up at this hour, gusting from 25-35 miles per hour. firefighters are worried about the embers that will embed themselves and go downrange in those communities, possibly sitting off more spot fires. we're keeping a close eye on it as the winds pick up in the ventura county area. those embers get embedded in the smoke and get carried and can be extremely dangerous. you'll see this big fire on a hillside and all of a sudden a hillside a mile or two away will start catching on fire, and the fire continues from one mountaintop to another. >> you start looking at those images and you get an idea of how big they are and how much smoke is in the air now. that's a big concern. >> it really is. and you have to see it from that viewpoint to really get a sense of it. those winds are so forceful spreading smoke from the wildfires hundreds of miles

north to the san francisco bay area, triggering spare the air warnings from now until sunday. >> the question is when will the wind let up. melissa consansa is joining us with answers on that. >> we are continuing with these red flag warnings along southern california. now they're lasting through sunday evening. so while we see these winds weaken just slightly for your friday, we're talking about wind gusts in some of the valleys around 20-40 miles per hour and in the mountains closer to 50 miles per hour. that means the fire danger remains high and we keep low relative humidity through the weekend. now the big headline from washington. congress has averted a government shutdown, at least for the next two weeks. the house and senate approved a temporary funding bill to keep federal agencies running through december 22nd. the reprieve came on the same day president trump met with

parties to discuss a longer-term budget. both sides called the meeting productive. but the democrats want protections for the d.r.e.a.m.ers attached to new legislation while republicans want to deal with the issue separately. congressman trent franks says he will leave office next month amid allegations of sexual harass mps. he announced his resignation admitting that while he and his wife struggled with infertility i discussed child surrogacy with two female staff members. he said he never physically intimidated any staff member or attempted to >> have any sexual contact with them but regrets that the conversation caused distress. franken's resignation comes after it's womeight women accusf sexual misconduct. he says he recalls the

differently and mary bruce asked republican senator bill cassidy if there's a double standard at work. >> no. franken didn't have to resign. there's clearly no due process. but when you have everybody coming after you, that's what he chose to do. but that's really up to franken and up to moore, not up to the parties. >> minnesota governor mark dayton is expected to appoint his lieutenant governor to fill the seat until an election next year. the white house is dismissing criticism about his health after he slurred a speech. sarah sanders said that his throat was dry and nothing more. he will undergo a physical early next year and the results will be released. the pope wants the roman catholic church to alter the wo

also referred to as the "our father". the issue is the line that leads, lead us not into temptation. he wants it to read -- >> the current wording suggests god can lead people into sin. >> i have trouble remembering and also with your spirit. and also with you. and i look around and realize i'm saying something completely different than everybody else. >> i go over this with my goddaughters every night when i'm putting them to bed and watching them. i would have trouble, they would have trouble remembering the new lines. >> they're young. they can, they will figure this out quickly. we old people will have to program, you know, 30 odd years to say it one way, it's difficult to reprogram that. and i will continue to embarrass myself every time i go to church. all right, well, we'll have more on that.
