After the president told each of their brave stories he thanked them on behalf of the country. As i signed the proclamation making this National Pearl harbor remembrance day, i ask that god continue to bless and watch over each of you as very, very special people to our country. But before the ceremony got started President Trump was upstaged. One of the veterans asked if he could sing a song and belted out lets remember pearl harbor by the big bandleader sammy kaye. Thanks to those men for their service. And were getting a never before seen shot of a ship that fired the first shot.

Lets start with i, tonya, starring margo robbie as a former figure skater, Tonya Harding, who was banned for life after found to have had an attack on her rival, nancy kerrigan.

A Community Coming together overnight, the Second School shooting this week. Senator al franken is making it official, reluctantly announcing his resignation but not without first taking aim at President Trump and roy moore.

But why does the pontiff want to do this . Look at the pup eye with the personality. He can smile. Well well show you what else he can do on this friday, december 8th. From abc news, this is world news now. I think i could watch that video all day long. Its a good friday video. Were keeping a close eye on the Southern California wildfires. Fire crews are battling new fires including one in San Diego County which has already destroyed a number of homes. Officials have just given an update on the largest fire burning north of l. A. In Ventura County. Its still out of control and could last until christmas. Well have full details in a moment. First we want to start the hour off with the reaction to the horror at a new mexico high school. Two students were shot and killed inside aztec high. Another student is also dead, 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. Its just really scary, and its 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 alleged gunman dead, a hand gun and 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 were 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 County, thick smoke blanketing streets as residents rush to evacuate. Ive been going up and down the roads, making everybody leave. Ive got one left. I need to tell the sheriffs to go get him, he wont 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, peoples 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. Even the youngest, so grateful 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 . Its so difficult to look at some of those images of entire communities up in flames. Theyve 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. Lets take a look from a helicopter pilot at kabc in los angeles, these images are incredible. Reporter were 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 extremely worried about the winds. The winds are really starting to pick up at this hour, gusting from 2535 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. Were 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. Youll 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. Thats 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 theyre lasting through sunday evening. So while we see these winds weaken just slightly for your friday, were talking about wind gusts in some of the valleys around 2040 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 congressional leaders from both parties to discuss a longerterm 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. Frankens resignation comes after its womeight women accusf sexual misconduct. He says he recalls the incidents differently and mary bruce asked republican senator bill cassidy if theres a double standard at work. No. Franken didnt have to resign. Theres clearly no due process. But when you have everybody coming after you, thats what he chose to do. But thats 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.

Is refusing to Tell Congress what he told his father after news broke about his controversial meeting in trump tower with a russian lawyer. Trump jr. Spent about eight hours before the house Intelligence Committee, answering questions about his june 2016 meeting. He had been told the russian lawyer had dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of russia and its Government Support for mr. Trump. Trump jr. Acknowledged discussing the matter with the president when the news broke over the summer, but he refused to describe that discussion, citing Attorney Client privilege, because he said lawyers for him and his father were also on the phone. The top democrat on the Committee Says thats bogus. In my view, theres no Attorney Client privilege that protects a discussion between father and son. Reporter we put that to the White House Press secretary.
