towards the u.s. should scoot out to sea as a cold front picks its way up. show you some of the impacts. 30, 40-mile-per-hour winds across the bahamas during the day today and some heavy rain showers as well and some of this will get over towards florida and maybe in the carolinas but generally speaking a low impact, the tropical storm watches have been dropped for florida but could see a couple of inches of rain out of this. eva, over to you. >> all right, thanks, rob. well, now to star felicity huffman looking at prison time after becoming the first parent sentenced in a college admissions scandal apologizing in court for taking part in a scheme to inflate her daughter's s.a.t. score. felicity huffman walking hand in hand with her husband out of a being sentenced to 14 days in prison for her role in the "varsity blues" college admissions scandal. >> is prison the right sentence? >> reporter: the "desperate housewives" star will also serve a year of probation, 250 hours of community service and pay a $30,000 fine. in making her decision, the judge noting the outrage in this case saying huffman took steps to get one more advantage in a

overnight from saudi arabia where there's been a drone attack on two major oil refineries. houthi rebels from neighboring yemen are claiming responsibility for this. as you can see flames engulfed the facilities which are run by the state owned oil giant saudi aramco. the official saudi press agency reporting that their been brought under control. a saudi led coalition has been battling the houthi rebels in yemen since 2015. new allegations against the family that owns purdue pharma, the makers of oxycontin. new york's attorney general says $1 billion in wire transfers has been uncovered between the sackler family and entities they control fueling concerns that the family who was facing thousands of lawsuits has been allegedly hiding their money to protect their wealth. the sacklers and purdue pharma this week tried to reach a multibillion dollar settlement with the states that are suing them. now to the presidential race and the democratic candidates out on the campaign trail in force looking to capitalize on any momentum they may have

created at the latest debate. abc's kyra phillips is at the white house with that story. kyra, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. well, the latest average of polls still shows joe biden with a considerable lead, but his closest opponents definitely smell blood in the water and continue to strike whenever they can. >> i think any democrat in that stage can beat donald trump. >> reporter: this morning candidates appealing to voters over the number one issue for democrats, health care. >> last night was the closest we came to a debate, okay. we actually had an open debate on health care. >> i was not pleased that vice president biden distorted what medicare for all is. >> reporter: biden, the party's early leader, who stayed in houston also butting heads with another candidate. >> are you forgetting what you said two minutes ago? are you forgetting already what you said just two minutes ago? >> reporter: while greeting students at texas southern biden's campaign calling that moment a low blow by castro.

>> i don't view it as anything. i think he's got his facts wrong. >> mr. vice president, will you commit to releasing your medical records to address concerns -- >> yes. i don't have -- what the hell concerns? man, you want to wrestle? >> reporter: other candidates like kamala harris who had memorable quips like this -- >> and now, president trump, you can go back to watching fox news. >> reporter: -- are just trying to gain traction like here at this fund-raiser in chicago. >> we need a new commander in chief. >> reporter: and then there's beto o'rourke and this dramatic moment talking about gun control. >> hell, yes, we're going to take your ar-15, your ak-47. we're not going to allow it to be used against fellow americans anymore. >> reporter: generating new 2020 swag while at the same time prompting texas state lawmaker briscoe cain to tweet this apparent threat, my ar is ready for you, robert francis. that tweet quickly removed by twitter.

and it's interesting, whit, another move that was made by both the biden and castro campaigns yesterday was their email blast. they actually mentioned that health care exchange where castro challenged biden's memory and then in turn biden's campaign called it a low blow. well, they appeared to capitalize on that by mentioning that standout moment in the emails, and then they added a link to donate to their campaigns. >> all the campaigns spinning and trying to make the most of it, get some momentum out of it. kyra, also wanted to ask you another developing story you're following, as well. congressman adam schiff, the chairman of the house intelligence committee, issuing a subpoena to the acting director of national intelligence. >> reporter: that's right, chairman schiff actually raised concerns about whether the trump administration is trying to prevent a legitimate whistle-blower complaint from reaching congress to cover up serious misconduct. that complaint is said to involve potentially privileged communications by people outside

the intelligence community and the subpoena required the acting director of national intelligence that you saw there to produce all records concerning the complaint or he could soon face a full committee hearing as early as next week and we will definitely follow that. >> absolutely. kyra phillips at the white house, thanks so much. here in new york city some horrifying moments at the empire state building where a man started swinging what appeared to be a sword at visitors on the observation deck. police say 35-year-old matthew dixon who is from virginia may have concealed that sword inside a cane to gett st wasuien y and brought to a hospital for observation. he is being charged with criminal possession of a weapon. well, a wild crime spree led to a shooting that left one suspect dead, a police officer injured and a priest praying for his life. abc's marci gonzalez is in our los angeles bureau with the manhunt underway for another suspect who is still on the loose. good morning to you, marci. >> reporter: eva, good morning. all of this happening as the democratic debate ended just miles away. police are now releasing new

details about the two carjackings and that attack on a priest that led to that shootout. >> they have an officer down. there was a gunshot. we need units out here. >> reporter: this morning a houston police officer shot with his own gun is recovering after authorities say a group of men went on a wild crime spree. >> i just started hearing gunshots. >> reporter: police saying it all began when the four suspects picked the wrong vehicle to steal from this gas station. >> they took the truck anyway and very qut was at.e. >> rer poli say meneld u priest the ting gun ohankwere and pulling the trigger. >> i said, don't shoot. >> reporter: the priest on his knees praying for his life when the gun jammed.

>> so he couldn't fire. he was frustrated, you know. he tried again. >> reporter: police say the suspect stole the priest's cell phone and left him beaten on the ground then carjacked a woman leading officers on a chase and faced off with an officer shooting him below his bulletproof vest and one of the suspects killed. two taken into custody and the fourth getting away. this morning houston police determined to track him down. >> we're going to get you, so you might as well just come out now, turn yourself in. >> reporter: and we're now learning that 29-year-old officer was shot at least three times, but after surgery this morning, he's listed in stable condition. whit. >> all right, marci gonzalez for us in los angeles, thank you. the former high school cheerleader found not guilty of killing her newborn daughter after burying her in her backyard in ohio will go free. a judge sentencing 20-year-old brooke richardson to no additional jail time after she was found guilty of abuse of a corpse. just two days after her senior prom richardson gave birth at
