"saved by the bell's" screech waking up behind bars this morning. the trouble at the bar christmas night all caught on camera. good morning, america, on this holiday weekend. >> look who's back. it's great to have dan back in the chair ace -- a new dad in a moment you didn't think was going to happen. >> i did not think it was going to happen. we struggled for years. i brought pictures. you're going to have to sit through. >> you look so much more mature. >> thank you. i appreciate that. this isn't a clip-on tie. >> you look mature. >> from one dad to another. we're going to have a whole lot more from dan and hear about little alexander's first christmas and his debut. i have to tell you, christmas in our household didn't go exactly as planned.

here they're playing their new xbox, a game called rivals but like so many who weren't able to do so on christmas because the network was out. if they only knew how foolish they truly looked in real life. >> the grinchs to targeted the xbox and playstation networks have more misery for children and their parents, paula included. >> this is the latest security breach and everyone wondering when it will end. the bigger question, who could be next and abc's linzie janis on the case for us this morning. >> good morning, paula. 160 million gamers. that's how many playstation and microsoft xbox customers are affected by this attack. the hackers bombarding the companies's online gaming servers with so many requests, they simply shut down. this morning, gamers around the world struggling to get online after a group of hackers calling itself the lizard squad claimed responsibility on twitter for

taking down the sony playstation and xbox live servers, hashtaging them both off line, even writing, we truly are the grinch. the timing couldn't have been worse. on christmas eve and christmas day just as thousands of people were unwrapping gaming consoles and trying to log on, services were down. >> the system basically just falls over. it can't deal with all of the requests and it has to shut down as a response. >> in a cheeky tweet, the lizard squad writing, i wonder how many people tried to return their new conso console, thinking it was broken. the outage a blow to many gamers. it's one of the most popular features for blockbuster games such as call of duty and grand theft auto and dustny. overnight sony playstation tweeting to customers, ps 4, ps 3 and other services are gradually coming back online, thanks for your patience. xbox tweeted, our teams are on

the case. the attack does not appear to be linked to the much more sophisticated cyber attack on sony pictures, believed to be a team of north korean hackers. this latest assault by faceless internet scrooges is unclear. >> they're very malicious. it's kind of a sport to these guys. they just want to bring the system down as a show of power. >> cyber experts say the capability of hackers is almost endless, from getting into our home wireless networks and computers to hacking into cameras and watching us in our own living rooms. experts say follow good online practices, secure your wi-fi network, change your passwords, that helps. ultimately we're at the mercy of these companies to protect our personal information. again, it doesn't appear that personal information has been stolen. it wasn't an actual attack and it doesn't appear to be linked to the sony picture attack. >> a lot of reasons to worry, thank you. this is going to be a sad and somber day in a divided city.

tens of thousands of police officers from across america descending upon new york for the funeral of rafael ramos. one of two officers killed in an ambush attack recently. the vice-president will be there and so will the mayor of new york city, who many cops blame for fueling the outrage against them. abc's mara schiavocampo is at the church right now. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning and a very sad morning here in new york. security is tight here. police on high alert after a number of recent threats against officers in the past few days. this as thousands streamed through this church yesterday for officer ray mow's emotional 8-hour wake. thousands gathering outside as the nypd flag was draped over the fallen officer's casket as it was carried into christ tabernacle church where they gathered to remember him. >> a guy to dedicated his life to helping others.

>> reporter: less than a mile from that church, new york police made another arrest of a man allegedly threatening to kill cops. elvin payamps arrested wednesday night after a former officer told investigators he was overheard saying ismaaiyl brinsley, quote, should have killed two white cops when he ambushed and killed ramos and his partner, wenjian liu, one week ago. the officers were shot in their control car by brinsley. during a search of payamps's home, officers found an arsenal, including shotguns, brass knuckles and body armor. there have been more than 40 arrests made across the country for false 911 calls in the wake of saturday's attack. >> since the incident we've received a number of what i would describe as copy cat type threats and as of this time none of this have proven to be anything.

>> reporter: as vice-president joe biden prepares to attend today's funeral for officer ramos, officer liu's family is surrounded by supporters, including former mayor rudy giuliani. ramos was studying to be a pastor. he leaves behind a wife and two children. plans for officer liu's funeral have not yet been released. paula? >> a moving show of support for those fallen officers and their families. thank you. another headline this morning, the bad weather that will make it tough heading home for millions of travelers this weekend. rob marciano tracking it all. good morning, rob. >> good morning, paula. it's been tough across parts of minneapolis. look at this video. you would think they would be able to handle this, but this has been the biggest snowfall of the year so far. the ice in the plains and there were over 100 crashes across minneapolis roads and highways just last night with just over two inches of snow falling today. it's been a mild december so not a whole lot of snow.

yards from the president is an untrained volunteer. the president on the way back from his morning workout in hawaii. his suv buried in the middle of as many as 20 imposing secret service black cars and local police escorts. also in the middle of the pack, a few cars back from the president himself rose the lowly white house press core van driven by -- well, just about anyone. untrained volunteers like 24-year-old natalie tyson. up identified by the "new york times" as the volunteer press driver in san francisco this fall. she posted her picture next to the president's limo along with a question wondering why anyone would trust me with a 15-passenger van full of reporters. and young natalie admitted she got her job because a friend at the white house casually called her and asked. >> i think the selection process for the drivers on the white house end is subpar. i think it's been subpar for a long time.

>> reporter: but is it more than that? is it safe to have a novice driving among the professionals and so close to the president. the secret service in a statement points out that normally there's no other traffic on the road when the president is moved and the service says the press is in the rear of the motorcade and if it's attacked the volunteer driver in the press van will be left behind. >> the press who they escort around, they're not a component of the secure vehicle package. >> reporter: the ranking democrat in the homeland security committee tells abc news that times have changed and the new secret service leadership should find a way to put trained officers on all presidential motorcades. dan and paula? >> jim, thank you. as we said this has been a tough year for the secret service. turning over to ron and yesterday one of the busiest shopping days of the year taking an unfortunate turn. >> some wild scenes around the country. we begin with the chaos at several malls packed with post holiday shoppers. abc's michelle franzen has late details on the mayhem at the mall. >> reporter: terrifying moments

for shoppers who got more than they bargained for, scrambling for safety after violence erupted at several malls across the country. at the arden mall in sacramento, a food court brawl and reports of gunfire after police say rowdy teens tried to take over parts of the mall. >> it got to the point where we shut the mall down. >> reporter: check out this scene at a mall near pittsburgh, cell phone capturing the chaos, pushing shoving and pushing. shoppers flee is up the escalators. police say six fights broke out and two teens went to the hospital. >> it appeared to be no set type of a protest. it's just that there were many juveniles. >> reporter: in missouri at the independent center, sirens and unrest as police barricaded the entrance. >> we take that seriously. that's why we were able to get a large police presence here very quickly. for "good morning america," michelle franzen, abc news, new york. and president george h.w.

>> reporter: where there are reindeer there's obviously going to be this guy, magically appearing. >> how does he not see it. >> enjoy the milk and cookies with a snap of his finger. you see the presents under the tree. finally santa notices the camera and turns it off using his magic powers. this video has gone wildly viral. should have been in pop news, perhaps. over 1 million views overnight. >> my parents always warned me you don't want to do things like that because you risk him not coming back. >> that's what might happen? >> no, it can. i don't want to scare that little boy but you got to be careful. >> enough with the conspiracy theories. a daring rescue in paradise. dozens of hikers getting trapped in a rain storm that made the nearby streams overflow and trapped the hikers on a trail as their supplies were running low.

nonlife threatening. some harrowing moments there. >> thank god for rescue helicopters. as we mentioned earlier, this is dan's first weekend back at work after he and his bianca had their first child, alexander. he is so cute. >> look at that hair. >> dan gave birth to a child, that could be the lead of the show. >> it is an anatomical miracle, folks. we've asked dan to give us a full report. >> he's staring at me and asking money from me. i put together a little video diary and mercifully i left out the diaper changes. check it out. >> we never thought this could happen. my wife and i struggled for years to have a baby, so when this little dude arrived, we were over the moon. here he is on his birthday, december 15, 2014. we named him alexander robert harris. after he came out, all i could do was stare. my wife has always been

beautiful but this is her at her most radiant. as a mom she's the happiest i've ever seen her. when we brought alexander home, our cats were curious but to our relief not furious. they sniffed him a lot and spent their time sleeping amidst his baby gifts and playing security guard at his crib. the past 12 days have been a series of firsts for alexander, first bath, first visit with co anchors paula faris and rob marciano who asked to be called the godfather. first christmas which he mostly slept through and first meditation session with dad. we may have both slept through this one. i still stare at him all the time, how cute he looks sitting in a car seat, or just clutching my finger. >> dan, this is such a gripping

book. i read it in one sitting. >> earlier this year i wrote a book about how discovering meditation made me ten percent happier. the other day they made me a new book cover with a baby bottle and the words, 100% happier. that pretty much sums it up. >> it looks so good on you and bianca is over the moon. >> she looks gorgeous. >> she's really happy, really this has been fantastic. the most fun we've ever had. >> you guys didn't think this was going to happen. >> we didn't. i have a few more pictures. we have a picture of the moment the nurses brought him -- that's when they gave me a temporary tattoo of his baby foot. that's the mohawk they gave him several hours after he was born. >> can we clarify. alexander robert after rob marciano, yes? >> yes, after rob. >> the godfather. no, it's after your grandfather.

>> after my grandfather and alexander is bianca's grandfather. >> we are so happy for the two of you and it really has softened you up. >> the six of them, the cats. >> that's right. it's a family. >> beautifully expanding family, we're thrilled. >> what does the weather look like, godfather? >> i have to switch gears now. i'll give you an offer you can't refuse. how about ice skating in phoenix? they put in temporary ice skating rinks. this morning they are having an easier time of keeping that ice beca because it's currently 38 degrees, the coldest morning of 2014. so that ice will be a little more firm today. wind advisories for the southwest, including burbank. it's been a windy week and a half and today will be no different. also on the chilly side so we have frost and freeze advisories, 41 in los angeles. 32 in las vegas. further to the north a winter storm warning for the cascades. they can use some of that snow.

brother and sister's final embrace for what may be a decade. abc's matt gutman bringing us this incredible interview jr.. t >> reporter: it was a family affair all right. they didn't look like the fbi's most wanted list. but apparently the family that stays together, robbed together. it begins where it ends with dad scott catt. scott catt fell in love and married his high school sweetheart, beth. beth catt would die at the age of 32, leaving behind 4-year-old hayden and 2-year-old abbey. yet, the children thrived, leading a seemingly normal childhood. >> we were very close. my sister is the only consistent thing i've had my whole life. >> my brother is my best friend. he was basically the only one that was there for me. >> reporter: what scott's kids worried about most, their dad's drinking. scott partied away their savings.

>> that's when he approached me and said would you be willing to do something to get some money, more illegal than selling drugs. >> scott talked his sister into joining their gang. >> i was led on like this is how i protect them. these are the only people i have. >> where there are robbers, there are cops. and the cops were already onto them. >> when scott was arrested, the detective that made contact with him told him you're under arrest for bank robbery. scott's initial response to that was which one. >> reporter: investigators were about to learn that scott catt's secret life of crime dated back to the clinton administration. he didn't even ask for a lawyer before he started spilling the beans. the family had been held in separate cell blocks and hadn't seen each other in over a year. they had committed the crime. now came the punishment. for abbey, all she has left is her brother, hayden.

making an unprecedented gesture, the sheriff allowed us to bring them together for one last time before they served their sentences. the jailhouse rules were strict, no touching. the soul mate siblings couldn't seem to help, reaching out, breaking one last rule. >> abbey, i'm sorry, okay? >> i don't blame you for anything. just know that i love you forever. >> if you guys want to give each other a hug, the sheriff said it's okay. >> really? >> reporter: listen closely, our mics picking up abbey's heart pounding. the siblings' love for one another, the one thing their fool-hearted father couldn't destroy. >> incredible story. >> look forward to seeing that full report. you can catch it tonight on "20/20" saturday at 10:00 right here on abc. what a spectacular moment that you could hear her heart pounding through her chest

is a really big deal. with aches, fever and chills- there's no such thing as a little flu. so why treat it like it's a little cold? there's something that works differently than over-the-counter remedies. attack the flu virus at its source with prescription tamiflu. and call your doctor right away. tamiflu is fda approved to treat the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, have serious health conditions, or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior, stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion or abnormal behavior. the most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. ask your doctor about tamiflu and attack the flu virus at its source.
