Two sheriffs deputies are in a hospital. They were ambushed and [ lost audio ] this is the ambush. That suspect walking up to the deputys car near a train station. Just started shooting and then ran off. Again, the officers that were shot are alive. We will continue to update you as we learn more about their condition, though. We know that the sheriff tells us one is 31 years old, the other 24 years old. Both were sworn in two years ago. That was a cowardly act the two deputies were doing their job, minding their own business and watching out for the safety of the people on the train. And seems Somebody Just walked up and just started shooting on them. Its it pisse s me off and dismays me at the same time. No pretty way to see it. Our affiliate said they had to close the streets after a group trying to confront deputies there. The Sheriffs Department called protesters on twitter. They said they were blocking emergency entries and exits to the hospital. Authorities are asking for help from the public for any help. If you have any information, please give them a call. There are officials in california who confirmed three more deaths from wildfires. Were talking about 100 fires nearly burning across 12 states from alaska to new mexico and arizona and firefighters are battling two dozen major fires just in california. Look at some of the newest pictures from monrovia. More than 3 million acres have burned so far this year. Destroying at least 4,000 structures thus far. Oh, my god. In oregon the Officials Say at least eight of the fires may not burn out until the winter rains start. Across california, oregon, washington state, at least 33 people have died in wildfires. This morning, were learning about two of the victims. 13yearold wyatt who died in oregon on tuesday. He and his dog died huddled together in a car. They were trying to get away from the flames. His grandmother was found in another car nearby. Wyatt ended up going back to the car and tried to drive his grandmother out and so he attempted to drive that car and he the roads were so hot that it burnt up the tires. So he wasnt able to drive it to safety. Were joined from marion county, oregon. Camilla, good to see you this morning. What are you seeing today that may be different from this time yesterday . Reporter christi, the smoke is still unbelievable and were still seeing these firefighters working around the clock. Just behind all of these trucks where were at right now, this is a command center, theres a number of tents. Those firefighters are resting. While they sleep, so many others are still out there battling those flames out of control at the moment. Still, at zero percent containment. Theyre telling people in some of these areas not to use the water because they say they need as much of it as possible to be able to fight these fires. So it is dire conditions in many of the areas here and the residents also struggling. Some of them telling me that theyre not sleeping. One woman i spoke to said she stays up at night thinking about her home and those of her neighbors. So theres thousands of people who are still under evacuation orders. Some staying at shelters, others staying with relatives. But so many also just anxious and wanting to go back to their homes. I spoke to one man who wanted to go back to his home. But he told me in the beginning there was almost no time to get away from those flames. He felt like he was in a movie. Take a listen. It happened so fast that i was there until 5 00 in the morning watering trying to water stuff down. But it got so bad that i was having to stomp fire out with my feet. At that point, we knew we had to go. All the neighbors around us pretty much everything is gone. The little town, its just wiped out. Now, he says his home is okay. But feels guilty that those of his neighbors are not. Hes not the only one. Theres still people who are missing in this area. So it is concerning for that family and for so many other families in this area. Victor, christi. Camilla bernal in oregon for us. Lets go to our meteorologist now, tyler. Tyler, air quality alerts. So many communities across the western u. S. Are dealing with this terrible quality of air. Any suggestion theres going to be improvement in conditions today . It doesnt look like there will be any improvement in the days to come, victor. We have nearly 100 wildfires across the west coast. With weather conditions not improving, that means that fire risk is still there. We have elevated to critical fire risk from nevada, california to washington. With 100 wildfires, youre going to get a lot of smoke and haze and that is leading to dense smoke advisories and also that terrible air quality, which is leading to air quality alerts across almost the entire state of washington and oregon and it definitely encompasses portions of california and nevada as well. Were also watching the tropics. Because we have Tropical Storm sally just now pushing to the gulf of mexico. As of the 5 00 a. M. Update, its packing winds of 50 miles per hour. New orleans, youre now under a hurricane warning because, as sally pushes to the west, northwest, its going to strengthen over these really warm gulf waters. As it takes this journey, not only will it strengthen, but it will strengthen into a category 2 hurricane. Its going to make landfall early tuesday as possibly a strong category 2. As approximate tushs to the north, it peters out. I can show you the radar over the days to come. You can start feeling the outer bands as soon as tonightment eventually, into tomorrow, well see the storms begin to impact almost the mouth of the mississippi by late monday and come tuesday, its knocking on the door around new orleans. New orleans, youre going to see this system stall out and that means we have the potential of upwards of a foot of rainfall across this region, storm surge will be pretty bad as well. Christi, victor. We will remember harvey sitting over texas for so long. Hopefully, this doesnt happen with sally over louisiana. Tyler, thanks so much. President trump is heading to california tomorrow for a briefing on the wildfires. Today, though, hes in nevada for more Campaign Events. He held a rally there last night amid the air quality conditions. State officials called them potentially unhealthy because of the smoke as tyler was referring to. The president did address the fires during his speech there. Cnns rebecca buck is with us now. Took him a while to get to it, but what did he say . It took him a few weeks, a month to say anything about the devastating fires raging now for weeks across california and the western United States. But the president finally did get there yesterday during his trip to nevada. It was really impossible to i ignore. As you mentioned, in nevada, the air quality is being negatively impacted by the smoke spreading from these fires in the region. You can smell it. Its difficult for people to breathe. The president really couldnt avoid commenting on these fires in the region. So finally, he did offer some words of support for those fighting the fires, also some unsolicited advice. Take a listen. Tonight our heart are with all of the communities in the west battling devastating wildfires. It is about Forest Management. Please remember the words. Very simple. Forest management. Please remember that. Its about Forest Management and other things. Of course, weve heard that refrain from the president before. Forest management is important in preventing the fires in california. One word, one phrase we did not hear from the president last night or previously relating to the fires is climate change. Of course, experts say that is a big reason that the fires have gotten so bad and that they will likely get progressively worse. So one person did mention climate change. The president s rival, joe biden. He had this to say. President trump can try to deny that reality, but the facts are undeniable. We absolutely must act now to avoid a future defined by an unending barrage of tragedies like the one American Families are enduring across the west today. Of course, for now, the fire season is not even close to over. We expect months more potentially of these fire conditions in california. So a lot of people will be watching this week for what the president has to say there. Christi, victor. Rebecca buck. Appreciate it. Thanks so much. Errol louis with us now. Lets start with that response, errol. From the president to the wildfires. He mentioned again or mentioned the Forest Management. Hes accused them of regarding wildfires particularly in california. What are the expectations after that kind of language for what he will do, how he will be received in california tomorrow . Well, i think hes got a problem, politically speaking, christi. Hes running against reality. This is just as the pandemic cant be denied no matter what he says to the contrary. Just as mass unemployment cant be denied no matter what he says to the contrary. And the bread lines, the people are waiting in, is real. This is real. We see the orange sky. We see the satellite pictures that are clouded. We see the heartbreak of people losing their homes over and over and over again. If he comes and has Nothing Better to say than Forest Management is the problem here, i think he loses against reality. People know the reality for themselves and even know too much to support trump. I think they wont buy into this fantasy world, including climate change. If he says something false enough times, people will believe it. I dont think people will buy it anymore, christi. I want to move to Something Else the president talked about. Rigged elections. He mentioned congress, actually. It wasnt in the president ial election. He mentioned new york, new jersey, pennsylvania, ka california. Then he took aim at the governor of nevada. Listen to this. The governor of your state tried very hard to stop us from having this event tonight. He didnt like us having. They can have riots and all sorts of things and thats okay. You can burn up the house. Thats okay. You know, you call it we call this a protest because if you call it a protest, youre allowed to have it. Hes in charge of the election. The millions of dollars like millions of votes, if im up, he can rig the election. So he said that errol. He didnt offer any evidence, just to be very clear here, the fact that there was no evidence that he offered up that the governor would or could rig the elections as he was talking about. But he does seem to be laying the foundation. Correct me if im wrong if im wrong here, Election Results may be illegitimate if he doesnt win. Is there a general sense, errol, as chaotic as things are, they could actually be worse after november 3rd. Hes trying to create that chaos the thats his aim. Further fact check, when he says the governor is in charge of the election, thats simply not true. In nevada, as in many other states, its really the secretary of state and local county boards of elections. Its the 16 county boards of elections and the secretary of state of nevada is in charge of the election, not the governor. Here again, you have donald trump trying to create his own reality. In this case, its amazing. Its brazen and audacious. He lays out for you the strategy of the marginally, probably illegal conduct that hes intending to pursue after the election. Hes trying to create so much doubt, spread misunderstandings andout right lies that there will be nothing but confusion. In the midst of the confusion, he will say i predicted it. Although he caused it. Because of that, the results of the election cannot be trusted. Its a cynical strategy. He did it last night. Hell do it again today tomorrow. And voters have to get themselves ready for the confusion, the main strategy of the Trump Campaign. On the flip side, theres a report in the Washington Post this morning about Bernie Sanders having concerns about bidens campaign. Heres what was written. The senator identified several specific changes hed hike to see. Saying biden should talk about health care and should be with other people, such as alexandria owe cassia cortez. How does biden center that with people in the camp of aoc . How does he balance that, errol . Errol look, youve got an issue here where the reality is that joe biden got to where he is as the nominee by being a socalled centrist. By not necessarily espousing every last strategy and proposal and policy idea that was coming out of the sanders wing of the democratic party. Its understandable that they want him to say more. On the other hand, biden can say, i think, with accuracy, what ive been doing got me where i am. This is the winning strategy. This is what were going to do. Does it make sense for him to pump up the enthusiasm of core supporters . Absolutely it makes sense. I think its more about time though than strategy at this point. Were coming down the homestretch, christi. 51 days to go as of this morning. Errol louis, the perspective is appreciated. Thank you, sir.
