And those flash flood warnings have been. going off on our phone. they read. This is a dangerous and life threatening. situation, avoid travel unless you are in evacuation. order. Look at that map. The area is highlighted. Those are all flash flood warnings back through. Pennsylvania, parts of New Jersey, Connecticut had. them earlier. The problem with these storms, they are. moving way too slow. That's why you're seeing those. three to even four inch per hour rainfall rates.

The training storms, as we. call it, many of these totals could end up in that half. foot range. So from Washington DC, Baltimore, Wilmington, Philadelphia included two. The next couple of hours are going to be awful. When so many people around the roads, you see. it moving through there. That flood watch going from Virginia. through western Massachusetts and Connecticut. Watch as it moves the next few hours are the. worst. Then it kind of dwindles as we get closer to 11. All in that super saturated soil. And speaking of super saturated one other area that knows that.

so well, Texas Hill Country, a flood watch extended. through tomorrow morning. David. Ginger Z leading us off. here in a Monday night. We'll see you first thing in the morning on GMA. Thank you Ginger. In the meantime, we turn out of the horrific images coming. in the rescues, firefighters smashing down doors to. rescue seniors and a deadly fire at a senior. facility in Massachusetts. At least nine people killed 30 injured the fire. overnight in Fall River. It's about 50 miles south of Boston. Firefighters finding residents hanging from windows, crying for help.

You can see the broken windows up there and the shattered. glass on the ground for so many. This was their only way out. Lorraine Ferrera trapped in her room. Svunk was heavy in there and I opened the window and. I yelled help, help, help. And the firemen came up the ladder, broke the.

window and got me out. Fearing the worst. I thought it was dead. I really thought I was going to meet my naked. I did think that. One after another, the injured rust away on stretchers, residents and wheelchairs treated on the street. By firefighters among the injured, Captain Franco Reagan describing the horrific scene. They raised a lot of, I went in, I didn't have an. hand tank or anything. First room empty, second door I kicked in, body, next room empty, next room body. I just kept yelling, guys kept coming down,

we kept dragging them out, but I searched as much as I could. and then after a while, they just can't take that. with smoke. David, some residents said the staff response to this. fire was inadequate and in a statement to the Boston. Globe, the owner says he's devastated by this tragedy. and is cooperating with the investigation. And late today, officials said the fire here at the center. does not appear to be suspicious. David. >> What a terrifying scene, Marcus. Thank you. We turn next tonight to the awful scene playing out of. the Grand Canyon. Two major fires closing in on the North Rim, destroying. historic parts of the park, including a lodge that had.

been there for more than a. dragon bravo fire they're at forcing evacuations. that historic lodge, the hundred years old. And the stunning images tonight of. fire fighter recording this fire world right there. ABC's faith the boobies on the scene. tonight and the stunning image is a massive spiraling. mix of smoke and flames. Tonight campers, staff and even firefighters near the. grand canyon forced to evacuate after the dragon bravo fire. exploded to nearly 6,000 acres.

More than 70 buildings destroyed, including the nearly. 100 year old Grand Canyon Lodge, a national landmark. Kirsten Fong from Seattle had just checked in. And then our tour guide came over and he was like, we actually have to hustle it up. Five fighters forced to retreat after a chlorine. gas leak broke out at a damaged water. treatment plant nearby. while 40 miles north of there, the white sage. fire now 50,000 acres. Fire officials, they are telling Melinda Marshall, her family's 102 year old in, is still standing.

Right now, they've been able to secure that line in. front of us that we're safe. And we hope it saves that way. The North Rim is our home. Extreme heat, fueling extreme fire behavior. across the bone dry west. a firefighter capturing this massive vortex of fire. and smoke known as a fire world working the dear. quick fire near Moab Utah. And David the winds picking up again exactly the. opposite of what firefighters were hoping for meaning.

another tough night ahead as they try to get a handle. on these raging wildfires. David faith of Oubey on the scene for us. Faith we appreciate it next the deadly church. shooting in Kentucky. Authorities say a man going and looking for the. mother of his children. And when she wasn't there in the church, instead police say he opened fire. on the pastor's wife and daughter killing them. ABC's Aaron Kutursky tonight taking us inside that church. Tonight this tight-knit community nestled. in the rolling Kentucky blue grass is grieving. after a man opened fire inside a church,

shooting the pastor, killing the pastor's wife. and daughter and entering the daughter's husband. - He shot over my son who was in the bans of the net. I killed my mother. 72 year old Beverly Gum and her 34 year old daughter Christina. Combs were shot and killed by this man, Guy House. "My mom died in the place that she loved the most. The only thing she loved more than her children. was this church.". The rampage began Sunday morning when House shot an injured. estate trooper who had pulled him over. He fled, card jacked a vehicle, and drove to Richmond Road.

Baptist Church, looking for the mother of his children. "He's like, where's Angel? I just want to speak to Angel. that's my sister. My mom's like, Angel's not here. He said, well, I guess someone's going to have to. die being in shot twice. Here inside the church, the pews are still. filled with what people left behind on Sunday. A bag, a hat pillow, finery, hymnal's even a pair of shoes, all signs of a frenzied exit once. the gunfire started. Police rushed to the scene and fatally shot the gunman. House had open warrants for his arrest. and just five days ago was placed.

on the county sheriff's most wanted list. And we spoke to the woman he was after the. mother of his children. He could have done the same thing to me that I did to them. It's very possible. With an open warrant and a history of mental health issues. in drug addiction, David, we asked the police today. whether this suspect should have had a gun. State police did not say, but the family described. him as a dangerous criminal. In fact, David, he was supposed to have been in. court today for a hearing about domestic violence. David Arantursky, in Lexington, for us, Aaron.

Thank you. Tonight, President Trump is trying to quiet a revolt. among many of his most devoted supporters of it demands over. the Jeffrey Epstein case. The president defending Attorney General Pam Bondi and. wife or some, it hasn't been enough and what they're. still demanding. Here's Jonathan Carltonite. Tonight, the White House is trying to diffuse an explosion. of anger among President Trump's core supporters. After the Justice Department and FBI announced, it would not. release any more information about the investigation into.

sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. How many of you are not satisfied with the results. of the investigation? For years, FBI Director Cash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino. stoked shadowy conspiracy C. Theories surrounding Epstein. Shortly after becoming attorney general, Pam Bondi promised the. truth would come out claiming she had a list of. Epstein's clients. It's sitting on my desk right now to review. Last week, Bondi said there was no list at all. I was asked a question about the client list and my response.

was it's sitting on my desk to be reviewed, meaning the. file along with the JFK MLK files as well. That's what I meant by that. The president, like many New York celebrities, had some. association with Epstein. When Epstein was arrested in 2019, Trump said they. had had a falling out and hadn't spoken for. 15 years. Now the president is calling out his own supporter. saying, "What's going on with my boys and in some cases,

gals? They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a fantastic job.". Trump is urging them not to "waste time. and energy" on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody. cares about. But today his daughter-in-law, Laura Trump, said the president wants to quote, set things right. Well, I do think that there needs to be more. transparency on this. And I think that that will happen. Top Democrats say Trump and his team. created the problem themselves. This was a conspiracy that Donald Trump,

Pam Bondi and these mega extremists. have been fanning the flames for the last several years. And now the chickens are coming home to roost. Trump worked the phones over the weekend trying to diffuse. this controversy. Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Cash Patel were both here at the White House. today for meetings. I am told this subject did come up. Some of President Trump's outside. supporters are now calling for a special counsel to look into.

all this, but senior officials I have spoken to here at the. White House say the president has made it perfectly clear. that he wants to move on. David. John Carl right there in the. briefing room for us tonight. Thank you. In central Texas tonight, where those awful floods hit last. week, killing so many, including those young girls at camp, with. a new flooding and heavy rains tonight in searchers who were. still looking for victims from last week were told. to get to higher ground. ABC's Maria V. Reall from Texas.

Tonight residents across the Texas Hill Country on edge. after rivers and creeks burst their banks and forced. water rescues on Sunday. crews battled a swift and powerful. current to save this stranded driver, stuck in waste high water in McGregor, Texas, trying to throw him a life jacket, eventually taking him to safety in a boat. "Java, number one is always saving lives, protecting lives and finding those who have. lost their lives.".

After that July 4th, flash flood killed at least 132 people. along the Watt-Alupa River today, Kerr County on high alert with fresh rounds of rain, urging search teams to move to higher ground. Officials say the number of people still missing. has dropped from 160 to 101, as more victims. have been identified and more of the. missing accounted for. Officials today warning the search could.

last up to six months. We've heard accounts of trailer after trailer after. trailer being swept into the river with families in them. Can't find the trailers. David, all of this rain obviously impacting the search. crews. This river behind me rising several feet just today. The county is now saying they're bringing equipment to. meticulously search the river and they're also planning to. drain to nearby lakes very soon. -Dorenair is in right there behind you again this. week, Maria. Thank you. Next tonight, President Trump signaling a. seismic shift on Ukraine, now deploying new U.S.

weapons and what he's now saying about Vladimir Putin, in panel, in Ukraine again tonight for us. Tonight, a major about face for President Trump. announcing he's selling U.S. made air defense weapons to NATO to help defend Ukraine from. Russia's relentless assault. move comes after months of praising Vladimir Putin, saying. he believed he wanted peace. Today he threw in the towel. "I'm disappointed in President Putin because I thought we. would have had a deal two months ago, but it doesn't.

seem to get there.". It was the deadliest month for civilians in Ukraine. Russian missile strikes in major cities increasing. from a year ago. Trump growing frustrated. We thought we had a deal. Numerous times, I'd get home and say, first lady, I had the most wonderful talk with Vladimir. I think we're finished. And then I'll turn on the television, or she'll say to me one time, wow, that's strange because they. just bombed the nursing home. (audience laughing). They said, what?

Now, along with those Patriot missile system, President Trump threatening severe tariffs within 50 days. and less Russia agrees to a peace deal. President Zelensky, who met with the U.S. Special Envoy earlier. Even a Yavdya Shni president to Trump. Speaking to Trump tonight, welcoming the move. David, two defense officials telling ABC News. that Pentagon's still working on what military aid. is going to be approved, but many here underwhelmed. One Ukrainian analyst comparing it to giving more theme.

to a dying patient. David. In panel live in key. again tonight, Ian. Thank you. The Supreme Court handing President Trump a victory. tonight, allowing the president to lay off nearly 1400 workers. at the education department. The ruling lifted a block at the president's executive order. that a lower court judge had imposed. This new Supreme Court ruling tonight unsigned and gave no. reasoning, but the three liberal justices descended about half of. the workforce at the Department of Education now gone. In New York City tonight, former governor Andrew Cuomo. announcing he will stay in the race for mayor and run.

When we come back here tonight, the fight and chaos erupting on. a passenger jet, this jet forced to make an emergency landing. in Maine and what we've learned. Also, this surprise moment from Neil Diamond, you'll. see it, and the images coming in now, the home.

Tonight, the image is a small plane crashing. into a neighborhood in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Home surveillance, Katherine plane going down Sunday. Miraculous. Everyone survived. Four people injured, unclear the extent of their injuries. The pilot trying to land at the time, neighbors using fire. extinguishers on a water hose to put out the engine fire.

When we come back tonight, there is news this evening. about NFL legend John L. Way and that surprise moment. from Neil Diamond, and you'll see it. To the index NFL legend John L.
