covered for years. i used to work in chicago. so to see this and know the towns and watch a wedge tornado come across someone in tear backyard just watching it suck and vacuum. it was 1 of more that 230 severe reports from texas to north carolina up to wisconsin and michigan but right there along the wisconsin state line in northern illinois the worst of it happened and that's where we find our gio benitez in rochelle. >> reporter: ginger good morning to you. what an unbelievable storm. we're talking about 20 homes destroyed. and just take a look here on this side we've got a semi truck totally on its side and on the other side of me you've got a restaurant completely destroyed. in parts of illinois this is a crisis. >> [ bleep ]. >> he's over. he's over. >> oh [ bleep ]. >> call 911. >> go. >> reporter: overnight powerful tornadoes plowing through the prairie state. >> this thing's got to be a 3.

oh no it's a 4 at least. >> reporter: a massive system ripping apart rochelle illinois. >> please don't hit this town. >> reporter: the supercell crossing highways with commuters. >> i saw headlights go flying. >> reporter: barreling through neighborhoods. >> that's going through subdivisions. >> reporter: even trapping a dozen people in this roadside restaurant. >> we pulled in here and ran inside. the owner said in the basement. 12 of us in the base many. when it hit, definitely we knew it hit. we didn't know how bad. >> reporter: rochelle authorities rescuing all trapped inside the leveled business. >> this time we don't have any fatalities we're aware of. we do have several what we consider walking wounded. >> reporter: nearby fairdale, illinois not so fortunate. city officials reporting one death and at least seven injuries. the town hit hard. >> there's some houses that were just basically pushed into a big pile. some of the others all there's left is a foundation. >> reporter: storms popping up nationwide. this funnel cloud looming over

texas and strong winds flipping over this semi in iowa. we even chased developing storms in missouri. we have that tornado warning. we have that rain. we have those heavy, heavy winds here. this morning, crews in northern illinois just starting to sift through the debris. >> look at that. >> reporter: and here in rochelle illinois in the midst of all this destruction incredibly, george nobody was seriously hurt. >> that is so lucky. okay, gio, thanks very much. we showed you that hard hit town of fairdale, illinois. alex perez is there for us. let's go to him. >> reporter: hey, good morning, george. that tornado tore right through fairdale. now i want to step out of the way. take a look at the scene behind me. there are huge piles of debris just like this all across town and if you look closely you'll see not one but actually two cars underneath that mess there. now, this is a small town population only about 200 and there are only about 50 homes here but authorities say that tornado, that storm damaged every single home in town as gio

said there at least one dead and seven reported injured. now, authorities say it will be some time it will take daylight to begin to assess the damage ear and really find out just how bad this situation is here. george. >> a lot of cleanup to go. thanks very much. back to ginger right now. what's coming next? >> you could hear gio and alex say how cold it was so behind that front it is very cold and windy but what i want to show you ahead of the front more severe storms possible today. so afternoon and evening is the timing. look from virginia down through the carolinas, georgia, parts of alabama, mississippi and louisiana. a little pocket back in texas could see damaging wind isolated tornado and yes, large hail so it is that swath that today we have one more day to deal with this. 24 hours, we'll finally be done with this system but it is the seeing and covering it all. >> a ways to go. thanks very much. now to new details on that tragic shooting in south carolina. police releasing dash cam video of the routine traffic stop that

turned deadly. the officer now charged with murder and his mother is opening up to our steve osunsami saying she's heartbroken for both families. steve joins us now from north charleston, south carolina good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. this dash cam video shows just how quickly a random traffic stop turned violent. they were parked right here where i'm standing in this parking lot and when the two got out and started running, they ran in this direction towards an empty lot about a half block away. this morning, new dash cam video moments before police gunfire took this driver's life. it all started with a routine traffic stop. here we see officer michael slager pulling over walter scott for a broken taillight on his black mercedes. scott explains he plans to buy the car in two days. >> okay, let's start with your license. >> reporter: scott is in the driver's seat and at one point he tries to get out. >> gotta stay in the car. >> reporter: then perhaps worried about an outstanding

warrant for unpaid child support he runs for it. officer slager off camera chases after him. >> get on the ground. >> reporter: moments later slager shoots him dead. this morning state investigators say the shooting seemed suspicious from the start because of multiple gunshot wounds in scott's back saying the cell phone video confirmed our initial suspicions. >> i miss my son. >> reporter: today there are two mothers grieving. >> nobody likes to see their child sitting in prison you don't think it's something that will ever happen to you. >> reporter: karen sharpe is one of them. her son is the police officer in the video. >> i just -- i can't watch it. i can't read the papers. i just can't. and maybe to some people that's well you're being in denial. but i'm sorry, i just can't. >> reporter: and now this man has come forward saying he filed a complaint against the officer in 2013. >> i felt threatened. i tell you that. >> reporter: police are planning to review all cases connected to

slager including this one. despite what people are saying karen sharpe says she has to stand by her son. but she also cries deeply for the family of walter scott. >> i just have to let it be and hope god takes care of everybody involved. >> reporter: walter scott will be buried tomorrow. slager remains in jail. his family says that he's been asking about his unborn child due next month. how the doctors' appointments are going and if the baby is healthy. robin. >> as was reported earlier despite being fired his family is still receiving health care benefits until the child is born. we're going to bring in abc news legal analyst dan abrams with more. does the dash cam video change anything? >> no. look it makes you wonder what led him to become so enraged. so quickly. but all that really shows is what seems like a routine stop. >> as you know there have been other cases where there's videotape and also in the case of south carolina there have been officers there that have

been indicted but no conviction. any difference you think this time around? >> yeah this video is different. this video changes everything i think. look i think he's still would have been indicted if there had been no video but it would have been a very different case. you would have been talking about bullets in the back and fights over ballistic, et cetera. this videotape is devastating in a way that i've never seen before. in the context of any case and so i think that to those saying why will this case be different, the answer is that video is so clear and so convincing. >> to those saying why the charge of murder? >> look i think it's the right charge in the context of this and watching that. is it possible that a jury could later on find it was manslaughter? sure that's possible. i think the only way that's really going to happen, though is if this goes to trial and if he takes the stand. meaning i don't think the authorities are going to make a deal with him. they won't say we'll cut you a deal in order to avoid a trial.

that videotape prevents them have having to do that but if he's going to get a lesser charge i think he's going to have to get up on the stand and explain frame by frame what were you thinking? what was it that led this to be a heat of passion shooting as opposed to simply murder? >> even if he is charged with murder the jury could come back on their own with a lesser charge. >> yes, there will almost certainly be one in this case. >> thank you, dan. we turn to politics and the long tease almost over for democrats. hillary clinton expected to make her second run for the white house official this weekend. jon karl covering it and this won't be a traditional big rally kickoff. >> reporter: no this is going to be quite different, george. we are told to expect something more low key, likely an announce many over social media, probably on sunday and including a video message. that will be followed by a trip to key battleground states but, again, george not big rallies, not big crowds the aim here we are told is for mrs. clinton to have interaction one-on-one with

voters in the key states at least in the beginning. >> and jon, the clinton team knows they have some work to do since hillary clinton left her job as secretary of state, her poll numbers have taken somewhat of a tumble. >> reporter: this has been a long drawn out process getting to this point of announcing and it has not been good to her popularity. our poll when she left office as secretary of state, she was one of the most popular political figures in america. now our latest poll shows her less than 50% viewing her favorably so she's had some problems of late and they hope now that she gets out officially as a candidate she can turn that around. >> yeah although some of that is inevitable when you get into the political fray. i know you'll be on top of this and we'll cover it sunday on "this week." >> okay there, george now to that deadly shooting at the u.s. census bureau. the suspected gunman kidnapping a woman shooting a guard and leading police on a car chase that ended in more gunfire. abc's pierre thomas is in washington with the latest on all this. good morning pierre. >> reporter: good morning, robin.

it was terrifying at u.s. census bureau headquarters with a running gun battle in the nation's capital. the violence began at 6:15 p.m. during rush hour. a suspect gunning down a security guard. the main entrance at the u.s. census bureau outside the nation's capital. within minutes local police and federal agents swarmed the scene including snipers with rifles drawn. the neighboring metro is shout down and concerns that he may be barricaded inside the massive complex that employs more than 4,000 workers. >> they told us to stay away from windows and stay in a secure area but we weren't allowed to leave. they had the whole facility on lockdown. >> reporter: then reports surfaced that the suspect had escaped the scene driving a green honda sedan. a high-speed chase begins the suspect firing shots as he and police race through d.c. >> we have a shooting at 1121 h street ne. >> police had guns drawn. we heard gunshots and then

everybody hit the floor. >> reporter: the chase coming to an end at 7:20. police crashing their patrol cars into the suspect's vehicle. >> they collided with the suspect here. the suspect again opens fire on police and there's an exchange of gunfire between mpd and the suspect. >> reporter: police discover the ins deptsdz was a domestic dispute that came to a head with the suspect and victim in a car near the census bureau. >> when the guard approaches the car, the guard is shot. >> reporter: overnight the security guard died at a maryland hospital. an officer was wounded in the exchange as was the suspect. their conditions this morning unknown. robin. >> all right, pierre thank you. to you to "gma" weekend anchor dan harris in for amy with the other top developing stories. some major concerns with a major airline. the faa is taking a closer look at united airlines because of concerns about pilot qualifications. this comes just weeks after an internal memo revealed major safety lapses and even some near misses at airports.

abc's david kerley is on the story. >> reporter: faa inspectors this morning are stepping up oversight of united airlines citing risks from repeated violations of mandatory pilot qualification and scheduling requirements. "the wall street journal" reporting it viewed a letter the faa sent to them citing 12 apatient violations in 13 months. this comes on the heels of united's own safety warning in january to its pilots the airline's top safety officials worried about four recent and separate safety events and near misses including one incident in which a flight crew had to make an emergency pull-up to avoid crashing into the ground. that stern warning concluded that all the incidents were preventible. >> every major airline has lapses at times. it's whether they have a system that's going to catch it in time that's the most important question and here that's the way it worked. >> reporter: united tells abc news it's already implemented changes to ensure the safety of its passengers and provided the faa with a, quote, full outline

of corrective actions and continues to believe safety management system programs are the best solution to identifying any issues and addressing them. for "good morning america," david kerley, abc news, washington. >> david, thank you. in southern california this morning, a violent arrest caught on camera has provoked at least two investigations. watch this man on a stolen horse. he's thrown off the animal when a police helicopter flies by. deputies move in using a taser then pummeling the man kicking him and pumping him for about two minutes. the suspect was arrested and later treated for undisclosed injuries. his attorney is calling this beating, quote, worst than rodney king. the utility company pacific gas and electric has been fined $1.6 billion for this massive gas pipeline explosion near san francisco. back in 2010, it killed eight people and destroyed dozens of hopes. this is the largest penalty ever imposed by state regulators who noted a continuing pattern of safety problems at pg&e.

real-life drama for actress alyssa milano this morning and it all played out on twitter after the nursing mom's milk was confiscated at london's heathrow airport. tweeting "heathrow airport just took my pumped breast milk away 10 ounces gone not okay." milano was passing through heathrow airport to switch planes and when she went through security, breast milk she had pumped on the plane was taken by security. she went on to tweet they said they would let the pumped milk through if i had the baby with me. why would i need to pump if i had the baby with me?" fellow moms rushing to her defense. >> a lot of moms feel that there should be an exception when you are pumping and you have breast milk and going through security that's for your child. >> reporter: heathrow airport responding to her tweet saying if you aren't traveling with your baby milk is subject to the 3 to 4-ounce restriction. mothers can carry on as much

breast milk as they need to in the u.s. in the uk and eu the child must be present in order for the mother to take more than 3.4 ounces? breast milk is like liquid gold. anything that interferes with that process is something that is taken very seriously by any new mom. >> reporter: milano later putting out this statement "it's not the fault of the security in the airport, they're following orders to keep us all safe but i do feel it is a policy that needs thoughtful reconsideration." the mom to 3-year-old milo and 7-month-old elizabeth bella is a breast-feeding proponent sharing these pictures on her account. most recently the 42-year-old actress starred on the abc drama "mistresses" but left that show earlier this year after the show relocated because she wanted to be closer to her family. and this morning as her battle over breast milk strikes a chord with moms everywhere -- >> you two crazy kids. >> reporter: -- the star of "who's the boss" is fighting to

be the boss. >> nursing isn't easy. you don't want to worry about it when you travel especially when you're trying to store milk for your child who isn't with you. >> can i get an amen. milano added she realizes there are bigger issues going on but she's glad that this has started a dialogue and she hopes it gets better for moms everywhere. i pumped -- i nursed all three of my children but this happened a lot through the airport and so frustrating because nursing, pumping is a full time job. it was tested. never confiscated that would have made me lose my mind. >> momma bear faris coming out. i like it. >> on our "heat index." mary kay letourneau made shocking headlines 20 years ago when she had an affair with a then 13-year-old student, vili fualaau serving 7 1/2 years in prison for child rape. she's now 53. he's 31 and on the eve of their tenth wedding anniversary, barbara walters sat down with them. i spoke with barbara about her exclusive interview airing tops on "20/20."

>> this story continues to fascinate. >> well when i mentioned to people i was doing it everybody seems to remember shthis is the schoolteacher who served 7 1/2 years because of her relationship with him and have this big tenth wedding anniversary that still shocks people. how could she do it. >> and still together. >> yeah. >> they're still together and have two teenage daughters. born when she was in prison serving prison for the child rape. >> and you reminded me of something that she went to prison not once but twice because they said look go to prison for a year but stay away from him. >> and she couldn't stay away so then they said okay now you're going to serve your whole sentence and people thought that this was -- i mean there are still people who are shocked and disgusted but, you know they've been married ten years. they've got two teenage daughters who think that this is -- they're unfazed. this is mommy and daddy and they seem to be okay.

15. >> it has not been an easy road for you. you suffered from depression yes? >> a lot. it's a feeling where it's like there's this hopelessness. you just feel like you can't go -- you can't do anything. you know like nobody understands you. you can't talk to anyone. i wish i just had a little bit better guidance through everything. it was kind of like -- it was really confusing to me. we're going to label this kid as a victim and we're going to make this woman an example for all other teachers who try to go down the same path. >> it really is fascinating to see them as a married couple and to think he was the same age as my little boy when their affair began. >> well and then you have to -- you can see what he was attracted to but then the other side what did she need and what did they go through to get to the point now where they can come sit down and come on television. >> and -- >> ten years and when you see the kids tonight, you know the
