good evening and it's great to be back from our coverage of the solar eclipse. we really appreciate you joining us for our special coverage. we begin tonight with several developing headlines. storms, tornados, flooding. it gets much worse over the next 24 hours, right up into the northeast. but we do begin tonight with the shockwaves in arizona, after that state's supreme court has now upheld an abortion law dating back to 1864, criminalizing all abortions, except those to save the mother's life. in their decision, the arizona justices referred repeatedly to the u.s. supreme court ruling overturning roe versus wade. their decision on hold for 14 days, pending a lower court review. arizona governor katie hobbs, a democrat, saying the ruling creates more chaos for women and doctors in her state. a doctor who performs an abortion could get up to five years in prison. she says voters will have their say in november. arizona, of course, is a key

battleground in the race for president this november, and the question already, how could this decision now effect the presidential race? abc's rachel scott leading us off tonight. >> reporter: tonight, arizona's highest court upholding a 160-year-old abortion ban. one of the strictest in the country. a law written in 1864, before arizona was even a state, and before women had the right to vote. it outlaws nearly all abortions. the only exception, to protect the life of the mother. tonight, outrage from arizona's democratic governor, katie hobbs. >> and the near total civil war era ban that continues to hang over our heads only serves to create more chaos for women and doctors in our state. >> reporter: under the law, doctors who perform abortions could face up to five years in prison. frustration from arizona lawmaker eva birch, who recently had an abortion after her pregnancy failed. >> a couple weeks ago, i had an abortion.

a safe, legal abortion here in arizona for a pregnancy that i very much wanted. somebody took care of me. somebody gave me a procedure so i wouldn't have to experience another miscarriage. the pain, the mess, the discomfort. and now were talking about whether or not we should put that doctor in jail. >> reporter: in today's ruling, the arizona court referring 22 times to the u.s. supreme court's decision overturning roe versus wade. donald trump has boasted of appointing three of the six justices who overturned roe. yesterday, he said states should make their own laws when it comes to abortion. >> the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both. and whatever they decide must be the law of the land. in this case, the law of the state. >> reporter: president biden says that means that trump supports state bans like the one in arizona, which biden today called "extreme," "dangerous,"

and cruel." biden and trump both know that abortion rights has won in all six states where it has been on the ballot in, including in conservative states like kansas, kentucky, and ohio. this november, voters could decide in 14 states, and one of them is arizona, a key presidential battleground. tonight, the governor with this message -- >> to the people across arizona who are concerned about the future of abortion rights in our state, you can make your concerns known at the ballot box, and i encourage you to do so. >> david: so, this is really shaping up to be an issue that could effect the presidential race in november. rachel scott back with us tonight. and, of course, not just in arizona, but how many presidential battlegrounds, the key states in the electoral college, that help decide the presidential race, will have voters not only deciding in the race for president, but weighing in on the issue of abortion rights? >> reporter: david, we could see this issue on the ballot in several battleground states, including pennsylvania, arizona, and nevada. we know that voters in florida will have the final say on this

issue, and that does raise rey questions if it puts a state like florida in play for democrats. we know president biden's campaign is counting on this issue to drive voters to the polls this november. as for arizona, the justices putting that ruling on hold for 14 days, as a lower court reviews it. david? >> david: rachel scott leading us off from washington. rachel, thank you. we turn now to michigan, where james and jennifer crumbley, the first parents ever to be convicted in a child's school mass shooting, tonight now sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison each. the michigan couple together for the first time since their arrest, after their son's deadly rampage. their son using a gun they bought him as a gift. the father apologizing in court today, but then, the families of the four teens who died with their own words for each of those parents. abc's trevor ault from michigan tonight. >> reporter: tonight, the historic sentence for james and jennifer crumbley. a michigan judge sending the parents to prison for 10 to 15 years, the maximum sentence, for failing to prevent their son's mass shooting. >> these convictions are not

about poor parenting. these convictions confirm repeated acts, or lack of acts, that could have halted an oncoming runaway train. >> reporter: despite the warning signs, the crumbleys bought their son the gun, declining to take him home from school when called in about his disturbing drawings the morning of the massacre. the couple, today, together for the first time since their arrest, making an appeal for leniency. >> please know that i am truly very sorry. i am sorry for your loss as a result of what my son did. >> this could be any parent here -- up here in my shoes. >> reporter: the families of the four children killed, rejecting that argument. >> it wasn't possible for hana to outrun the bullets bought by you, jennifer crumbley, which were fired by the .9 millimeter sigsaur that you, james, gifted to your son. >> reporter: saying hana st. juliana,

justin schilling, tate myre, and madisyn baldwin would all still be alive had the crumbleys done their job as parents. >> you texted ethan, "don't do it." i was texting madisyn, "i love you, please call mom." >> reporter: the prosecution blasting the crumbley's chilling lack of accountability. >> they do nothing and then they come here today and they claim they're victims. >> reporter: the judge saying she decided to sentence the crumbleys beyond the suggested state guidelines, because of the catastrophic impact of their crimes. >> each of the defendants' gross negligence has caused unimaginable suffering to hundreds of others as a result of what happened that day. >> reporter: david, these trials were watched very closely. they are certainly precedent-setting. the first parents held criminally responsible for their child's school shooting. and tonight, the prosecution says james and jen for crumbley have been held to the highest level of accountability under the law in michigan. david? >> david: trevor ault, who has covered this case from the start for us. trevor, thank you. we turn now to the threat of

severe storms tonight, moving across several states in the south before it moves east and right up into the northeast. tonight, millions are on alert for a multi-day outbreak. tornado watches in texas and louisiana right now. tomorrow, this threat widens to several states, the threat of strong tornadoes and damaging winds, up to 75 miles an hour, across to the florida panhandle. rain and potentially damaging winds barrelling up the east coast. senior meteorologist rob marciano is tracking it all for us, live in new orleans for us tonight. hey, rob. >> hey, david. damaging winds, hail, and floods, i think the main threats tonight. we already had an 86-mile-an-hour wind gust in texas. we've got watches up from texas all the way into georgia. shreveport, you got globbered earlier. down across austin, i think storms will reform there. tomorrow, there's red on the map, tornadoes possible, baton rouge, across southern mississippi. and these storms get going early. this is dynamics and dew-point driven, so, a cluster of damaging storms including tornadoes will be right near new orleans before noontime and crossing into florida and into

the news coming just days after the fbi and homeland security officials warned that isis was calling on operatives and so-called lone wolves to commit attacks in the u.s. like the moscow massacre. >> the foreign terrorist threat and the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, like the isis-k attack we saw at the russia concert hall just a couple weeks ago, is now increasingly concerning. >> reporter: the fbi director and attorney general making rare overnight statements. chris wray called the alleged idaho plot truly horrific. the fbi was already worried about the potential of terror because of the israeli-hamas war. now with isis showing signs of resurgence, authorities are even more concerned, david. >> david: they will remain on alert for sure here in the u.s. pierre, thank you. we turn now to the horrific images tonight, the newly released police body came have a video of a deadly police shooting in chicago. a driver pulled over for a seat belt violation, opening fire and wounding an officer.

him on social media, or belong to an array of extremist groups like proud boys, oathkeepers or antifa. potential jurors will also be asked if they have “strong opinions” about trump or “firmly held beliefs” about whether a former president can be charged with a crime. trump has tried every which way to delay this trial. the historic first trial -- criminal trial of a former american president. and he still has a couple of appeals left, but david, as of now, jury selection starts monday, and the judge is expecting trump to be there. david? >> david: you'll be there, as well. aaron katersky, thank you. this evening, norfolk southern railroad has agreed to a $600 million settlement in the fiery derailment in east palestine ohio. 150 cars derailed, spilling hazardous materials that caught fire. it would settle any personal injury and health claims within a ten-mile radius. a judge could approve this within weeks. when we come back here tonight, the images coming in at this hour. the fires burning outside new
