A man found face down and unconscious in waist-deep water by lifeguards in Mission Bay has been confirmed dead, according to San Diego lifeguards. 

The man, whose name is not being released pending notification of family, was standing in the water, lifeguards said, with other people. His relationship to the other people is unclear. They turned away, but when they turned back he was unconscious in the water. 

Lifeguards were nearby and saw what happened. 

The rescue happened just before 12:30 p.m. in the Bonita Cove swim zone. San Diego Lifeguard Lt. Rick Romero told NBC 7 the man was unresponsive and was not breathing when lifeguards pulled him from the bay.

Emergency responders performed CPR and made other efforts to revive him. The man was rushed to UC San Diego Medical Center and was pronounced dead shortly after arriving. 

The coroner is investigating the cause of death. 

Bonita Cove is a popular spot on Mission Bay, located at 1100 West Mission Bay Dr., that includes a swim zone, large playground, fire rings and barbecue grills.

The #PhelpsFace meme made its way around the internet the past few days, and on Saturday it apparently made its way onto someone’s leg.

A tattoo artist in Toronto, Livia Tsang, posted a picture on Instagram of Michael Phelps’ scowling face that she said she tattooed on her boss’s leg.

That image, like the original meme itself, traversed the internet. And yes, it even made its way in front of the swimming sensation himself.

Phelps seemed extremely excited about it during a Facebook Live chat that he held Saturday afternoon before the final race of his Olympic career.

“I don’t know if the guy is watching,” Phelps said, “but whoever got that tattoo, that tattoo is amazing. Dude put my face on his calf. That’s awesome.”

The shop, Chronic Ink Tattoos, also posted the picture on Facebook with the caption, "Congrats on being the G.O.A.T.” which stands for “Greatest of All Time,” for those not in the know.

Phelps has seen a lot of fandom over the years, but this one apparently stood out.

"That is so cool,” he said. "I never thought that would happen. It’s pretty incredible."

The leader of a mosque in Queens and his associate were shot and killed Saturday afternoon after leaving their place of worship.

Imam Maulama Akonjee, 55, died from a gunshot wound to the head, said NYPD Deputy Inspector Hank Sautner during a news conference.

His assistant imam, a 64-year-old Thara Uddin, also died of a gunshot wound to the head.

No motive for the shootings has been established, Sautner said.

"There's nothing in the preliminary investigation to indicate that they were targeted because of their faith," he said.

The shootings occurred at about 1: 50 p.m. about two blocks from the Al-Furqan Jame Masjid mosque in the Ozone Park neighborhood. The mosque serves a community of Bangladeshi immigrants.

Akonjee and Uddin, both dressed in Islamic attire, were approached from behind and shot by a lone gunman, wearing a dark polo shirt and short pants, police said.

Witnesses told police they saw the armed assailant flee.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations quickly condemned the shootings.

"The perpetrator of these senseless killings must be swiftly apprehended and face the full force of the law," said CAIR-NY Executive Director Afaf Nasher. "We ask anyone with information about this attack to contact appropriate law enforcement authorities."

Mayor Bill de Blasio dispatched his senior liaison with the Muslim community to the scene, said Eric Phillips, the mayor's press secretary.

"While it is too early to tell what led to these murders, it is certain that the NYPD will stop at nothing to ensure justice is served," he said.

More than 100 people attending a rally at the shooting site Saturday night chanted "We want justice!" Many said they want the shootings to be treated as a hate crime.

Editor's Note: A previous version of this article listed an incorrect age for Thara Uddin. He is 64. 

Aspiring Olympians at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center have been watching the games with a deep interest. Many of the young athletes know people competing at the Olympics and hope to compete in the games someday themselves.

"It's really fun to wacth...cause I know a few people from archery like Zach Garrett and Mackenzie Brown, both of my really good coaches, and it's really fun to just watch them shoot," 14-year-old archer Jerome Cataoma said. 

Henry Wright, 14, of Carlsbad said his favorite athlete is local archer Brady Ellison. “He’s a longtime champ, great representative of the USA.”

Lily Lucero’s former coach, Mackenzie Brown, is also competing in archery.

"She’s the only woman from the US that’s shooting in Rio, so I find that really inspiring just to see that she's out there doing what she loves, really obtained what she's been working so hard for the last few years,” Lucero told NBC 7.

Brown is just one of several Olympians who trained in Chula Vista before heading to Rio.

From archery and rowing to BMX racing, the center has sent many in search of Olympic gold.

“And they've come so far, and that's kind of the end goal really is to be an Olympian, just the highest point of archery,” Lucero told NBC 7.

As these kids train they know they may be inspiring the next generation of young athletes there if and when they head to their own Olympic games.

When the Team USA women’s 4x100m relay team anchored by Simone Manuel won gold Saturday night in Rio, it marked a milestone for the United States.

It was the U.S.’s 1,000th gold medal in its Summer Olympics history.

Let the record show that the team who secured No. 1,000 was: Kathleen Baker, Lilly King, Dana Vollmer and Manuel.

The United States is the first country to rack up 1,000 gold medals.

According to the U.S. Olympic Committee, that’s more than the next three countries combined. Headed into the Rio Games, the USOC said that the Soviet Union was second with 395, followed by Great Britain (235) and France (203).

By winning gold in his final race, Michael Phelps finished his Rio Games as the most decorated Olympian in history with 28 total medals, including 23 golds. 

It's hard to comprehend just how impressive his swimming resume is. Outside of the Olympics, where he didn’t have the international spotlight shining down him like he does during the Games, Phelps was just as impressive.

Let's take a look at some of the highlights of an illustrious career (courtesy of USA Swimming):

• First American male swimmer to qualify for five Olympic teams
• Set world records in the 100m fly (first person to ever break 50 seconds), 200m fly, 4x100m medley-relay, and 4x200 free-relay
• Won eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games, more than any other athlete at an Olympic Games
• During the nine-day 2008 competition, set seven world records, eight American records and eight Olympic records
• Set four individual world records and won seven gold medals at the 2007 World Championships to become the winningest athlete in World Championship history Became first athlete ever to win eight medals (six gold) at a non-boycotted Olympic Games in 2004
• His eight medals tie 1980 USSR gymnast Alexandr Dityatin for most medals by an athlete in a single Olympics
• Only man to win five U.S. National titles at the same Championships
• Only man to ever win a U.S. National title in three different strokes at one national championship
• Youngest male Olympian since 1932 (2000 Olympic Games)
• Youngest man (15 years, nine months) to break a world record, breaking 200m fly mark at the 2001 Spring Nationals.

A nonprofit group working to restore a historic open-air amphitheater in Balboa Park rolled up their sleeves Saturday and began the much-needed clean-up efforts, with the help of lots of volunteers.

Save Starlight is a grassroots organization that wants to renovate and reinvent the Starlight Bowl on Pan American Plaza. The last event held at the amphitheater was more than five years ago. Since it shuttered in 2011, the venue fallen into disrepair.

Today, the venue’s façade is visibly run down – the letters at the entrance worn and surrounding plants overgrown.

On Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Save Starlight hosted a “Reverse Gardening Party” to help clean the venue.

Dozens of volunteers turned out for the event, which included live entertainment, refreshments and a raffle. Volunteers pulled weeds and cleaned up trash that has taken over the vacant venue over the years.

"We're basically coming in and cleaning up the bowl," Steve Stopper, of Save Starlight, told NBC 7 Thursday, ahead of the event.

San Diego-based casting director D. Candis Paule, her husband, Robert May, and their two children were among the volunteers who gathered at Starlight Bowl Saturday.

Together, they worked to tidy up a section of the amphitheater.

"The arts are so important and San Diego is such a destination for the arts. Starlight is this phenomenal space that doesn’t exist in many cities, so when you have it, we have to save it and make it a viable place for the arts to flourish," Paule told NBC 7.

May said it was amazing to see how many volunteers came out for the event, tools in hand.

"It says a lot about the city; it says a lot about the people who really enjoy the arts and space like this in such a beautiful park," May told NBC 7. "It’s gratifying to see.”

The mission of Save Starlight is to get the Bowl up and running again as some type of entertainment venue for concerts, cinema, festivals, plays, community events and musical theater while preserving the site’s history.

Originally called The Ford Bowl, the amphitheater was commissioned by the Ford Motor Company for the 1935-36 California Pacific International Exposition.

In its early days, the Starlight Bowl featured symphony concerts that were broadcast via radio and other events. The name was changed to Starlight Bowl in the 1970s.

From the late 1950s until 2011, the venue hosted the San Diego Civic Light Opera (SDCLO) Starlight Summer Musicals. The SDCLO folded in 2011 and the Bowl hasn’t been used since then.

What makes Starlight Bowl unique is that it’s located directly under the flight path for the San Diego International Airport – making noise a factor for productions.

Save Starlight says that for decades, theatrical performances would “freeze” mid-scene or song as the planes passed overhead. As air traffic increased at Lindbergh Field, the noise created problems for the venue’s programming.

Through its campaign, Save Starlight hopes to figure out how to operate the venue despite the noise issues. The team is headed by Stopper, a former audio technician for Starlight who knows the acoustics of the amphitheater well.

"We're going to be able to do things with the sound," Stopper told NBC 7. "We're going to be able to do things with adjustments to mitigate the effect of planes because it's our take that there's no way to cover the Bowl and completely remove the issues, so you've got to work around them."

Save Starlight said a feasibility study was conducted in 2013 on the Starlight Bowl. The 155-page report said the costs for initial improvements to the venue are $7.8 million, and $15 million to complete the project.

The nonprofit told NBC 7 the report is good but their intentions are different because they want to utilize the venue for events that won’t be affected by the airplane noise, such as concerts and festivals.

Save Starlight said their plan does not cost $15 million. To learn more about the efforts to revitalize the Bowl, click here.

Yes, Michael Phelps really is retiring from Olympic swimming after Rio. 

The American swimmer with 22 gold medals held a Facebook Live session Saturday, answering questions on a wide range of topics as upwards of 60,000 people joined the session.

He said he thought he would win in a race with Katie Ledecky, and insisted, despite his roommates chanting "four more years," that he's not going to race in one more Olympics despite all the success he's had in Brazil. 

"We're not going four more years, this is it," Phelps said. "Tonight's the last time that I'll be suiting up and racing at this level. I'm not swimming Masters either — no offense to Masters."

He insisted he's done even after the hashtag #4moreyears started popping up in his feed.

Instead, Phelps plans to spend time with his baby son and fianceé, whom he's marrying at the end of the year. When he leaves the Olympics, he said he hopes to put on some weight beyond his 190 pounds, maybe with some burgers and steak.

Phelps has nabbed four gold medals in Rio, with one more race, a relay, Saturday night. 

As for Ledecky, who's been the other utterly dominant swimmer in Rio, he thinks they'd have a good race. 

"I think I could take her in a 400," Phelps said. "800 or above, she would whoop me and tear me to shreds."

Phelps said the crowd in Rio is loud and gets him "pumped." He tipped his cap to Singaporean swimmer Joseph Schooling, who beat him in the 100-meter butterfly Friday night, saying "that kid swam an amazing race."

What's going through Phelps' head when he's going through the water? "Hopefully I get my hand on the wall first. That's usually what's going through my head."

His room can apparently get a little rowdy at nights, with Enrique Iglesias blaring. Some on the team watched the movie "Hoosiers" before a recent race, and Phelps couldn't speak highly enough about it. 

Already a world-renowned athlete, Phelps gained extra notoriety at the Rio Olympics for two things: his intense #PhelpsFace in the warm-up before the 200-meter buttefly semi-final, and the round bruises all over his body from a restorative process called cupping. 

The swimmer discussed both in the Facebook Live session, saying he has no idea what the face was but that it "awesome" someone got a tattoo of it, and that cupping is like a quick, intense massage.

Sports rivalries came to the fore after Phelps identified himself a die-hard fan of the NFL's Baltimore Ravens (the two books he's read this year were both given to him by Ravens great Ray Lewis).

Steelers fans showed up to the chat, and when an Ohio State fan arrived — Phelps went to Michigan — Phelps tried to find some unity: "Team USA!"

Missed the session? Watch the replay above, or follow Phelps, who said he'll return for another Facebook Live session as soon as Sunday.

Some of Phelps' favorite things:

• Coke or Pepsi: Coca-Cola
• Movie: "Tommy Boy"
• Soccer player: Lionel Messi
• Ice cream flavor: The Tonight Dough, Ben & Jerry's "Tonight Show"-themed brand, featuring Jimmy Fallon on the container.

We're one week into the 2016 Rio Games and the competition is fierce. On Saturday, San Diego will once again make its mark in Brazil as several local athletes go for gold.

Team USA athletes with ties to San Diego will compete in rowing, sailing, cycling and track and field from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Today’s local contenders are:

Rower Kerry Simmonds, who grew up in the Carmel Valley and played sports for Torrey Pines High School, competed with the women's coxed eight finals at 7:06 a.m. for their chance to medal. This marked her Olympic debut.

Simmonds' team, who trained at the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center (OTC), took lane three against The Netherlands, Romania and Great Britain at Lagoa Stadium. The rowing team has been on top of the competition for a decade and is considered one of the strongest team's in Rio representing the U.S.

NBC 7's Steven Luke spoke with Simmonds' mother and brother in Rio and they admitted they were nervous but confident the women's eight would come out on top once more.

They were right. Get the results of the women's eight event here.

By the way, last week, Luke caught up with Simmonds in Rio and she shared her Olympic journey with NBC 7 through these photos.

Also in the water -- but over at Marina de Glória in Guanabra Bay in Copacabana -- Coronado High School graduate Paris Henken will sail in three preliminary races in women's 49er FX skiff. Henken ranked 5th in her first race Saturday. The U.S. Sailing Team's Twitter called her 10:20 a.m. race "flawless."

Henken finished the day in 4th place with a scoreline of 5-1-4, the U.S. Sailing Team tweeted.

Henken sails again at 12:20 p.m. PT. She'll rest Sunday and be back in the Guanabra Bay on Monday.

San Diego native Caleb Paine competed in sailing as well, in men's finn preliminary races seven and eight. In his first race Saturday, he ranked 17th. n his second race, he worked his way up to a 7th ranking.

On Thursday, Paine was disqualified from a second place finish in the preliminary race six of men's finn when a Croatian competitor claimed that, although he had right of way at a crucial moment in the race, he had to avoid Paine’s boat. Paine disagreed but the jury ruled in favor of Croatia. Paine's disqualification set him back from 4th to 15th place out of 23 sailors as he went into Saturday's races.

Paine has deep local roots: he attended Murray Manor Elementary School and Parkway Middle School in La Mesa and is a graduate of Point Loma High School. He grew up at San Diego's Southwestern Yacht Club.

Paine is set to sail again Sunday morning.

Meanwhile, Temecula native Sarah Hammer, who spent most of her life living there but now resides in Colorado, took the cycling track at the Rio Olympic Velodrome in the women’s team pursuit for a chance to win gold.

At their race Saturday morning, the USA women's cycling team set a world record pace of 4:12:282. Great Britain broke the record in the very next race.

Hammer won two silver medals at the 2012 London Games, adding to the power behind her cycling team.

Jennifer Valente, also a San Diego native, competed alongside Hammer in women's team pursuit track cycling Saturday. Growing up, Valente rode BMX and mountain bikes around her San Diego neighborhood. At age 13, she took up track cycling.

Hammer, Valente and their women's pursuit track cycling team won a silver medal in their race. Great Britain took the gold.

Men's indoor volleyball athlete and Alpine native David Lee and his team faced off against France on Saturday, coming out on top with a much-needed win. This keeps their momentum going for another match on Monday.

At Olympic Stadium in Maracaña, Chula Vista OTC resident athlete Jeff Henderson won gold after competing in the men’s long jump Saturday. His winning jump was 8.38 m. Henderson qualified in second place in the event Friday with a distance of 8.20m.

Heather Miller-Koch, also a resident athlete of the Chula Vista OTC, competed in women’s heptathlon, in the women's long jump and javelin throw Saturday. She competed in several track and field events on Friday.

In the long jump, with a distance of 6.16m, she ranked 16th Saturday in that event. After a javelin throw of 40.25 m Saturday, she now ranks 22nd.

If you want to know how to get to Pennsylvania just ask folks in San Diego’s South Bay. They know the way pretty well by now.

The Park View Little League team beat a team from Nevada 1-0 to earn a trip to Williamsport, PA and the Little League World Series. Again.

Park View went to the LLWS in 2009, way back when most of the kids on the current team were in kindergarten. Maybe even preschool. They got a tremendous pitching performance from Victor Lizarraga, who went the distance in the shutout.

Park View got the only run of the game in the 4th inning. With the bases loaded Julian Padilla hit a rocket at the 2nd baseman, who bobbled the ball preventing Nevada from turning what would have been an inning-ending double play. Adriel Colmenaro came home with what proved to be the game-winner.

Park View is the 4th team from San Diego County to advance to Williamsport in the last eight years, joining last year’s Sweetwater Valley club, the 2013 Eastlake team and that Park View squad from 2009. They will open up on Friday, August 19 against the Midwest champions from Iowa at 1:00 San Diego time.

Thousands of women donning red bandannas and dark blue overalls gathered in Richmond, California, on Saturday to break the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Rosie the Riveter.

The Rosie the Riveter Trust — the non-profit that put on the event—rallied together a total of 2,270 people to break the record that was set by Ypsilanti, Michigan, last fall.

This record marks the second time that Richmond has won this title. In 2014, the Richmond Rosies drew a crowd of 1,084 women.

Rosie the Riveter has been a popularized image in the media since the 1940s. The surge of women in the WWII war-time workforce inspired songs and eventually paintings of the fictional “Rosie,” a line worker who works tirelessly to help the American war effort.

Artists J. Howard Miller and Norman Rockwell popularized that image as a muscular woman clad in denim and a red bandanna with the headline “We Can Do It!” The image was originally used as on posters to boost worker morale, but has now become an icon for the modern empowered woman.

After taking the picture for Guinness at the Craneway Pavilion, the crowd of women headed to Marina Bay Parkway for the Home Front Festival, which included music performances, craft activities and several food trucks to feed all the Rosies.

Donald Trump is now recruiting "Trump Election Observers" to combat what he has called a "rigged" election.

A link on his page — that directs participants to donate — rewards registrants with an email that promises to "do everything we are legally allowed to do to stop crooked Hillary from rigging this election."

The call to action comes less than 24 hours after Trump said Democratic rival Hillary Clinton couldn't win in Pennsylvania unless she cheats and just days after he began inserting voter identification riffs heavily into his stump speech.

Trump is not the first to deploy election observers. In 2008, then-Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama enlisted "Election Observers" in Pennsylvania to ensure that voters cast their ballots "simply, fairy, and without intimidation."

Obama and running mate Joe Biden provided a manual that listed do's and do not's for observers. That sort of guidance has not yet been given by the Trump campaign, which is early on in the recruitment process, NBC News reported.

Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence said Saturday he will release his tax returns soon amid calls by critics for Donald Trump to do the same.

Speaking on WABC radio's "Election Central with Rita Cosby," Pence said that the public would not be surprised by the information in his tax records.

"When my tax returns are released it's going to be a quick read … the Pences have not become more wealthy as a result of 16 years in public service," the Indiana governor said.

Trump has repeatedly said he would release his tax returns but has not done so, saying it is because he is under audit. The IRS has said that wouldn't prevent him from releasing his tax returns, NBC News reported.

Trump spokesperson Hope Hicks said Saturday Trump plans to release his returns "when the audit is complete."

The first offensive possession of the Chargers’ 2016 preseason was a thing of beauty. After that it dissolved in to a fairly ugly affair that resulted in a 27-10 Titans win at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

The Bolts gave fans an appetizer of just how good their offense can be this year. Philip Rivers completed two of his three passes (the third was dropped), one of them to Keenan Allen for a first down and the other to running back Melvin Gordon, who turned and carried it 44 yards for his first NFL touchdown. He got a fantastic block from wide receiver Dontrelle Inman inside the 10 yard line and ran over a safety to get over the goal line.

The catch and run was impressive considering Gordon is coming off microfracture surgery and has been dogged by questions about the health of his knee throughout training camp.

After that the Chargers first team offense sat down and the backups only mustered three more points. But then the Bolts gave fans an appetizer of just how bad their defense can be this year, especially against the run.

The starting D allowed a field goal on Tennessee’s opening drive, then forced a 3-and-out. But after their backups came in the Titans turned in to the 1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers. DeMarco Murray took off on a 71-yard touchdown run to put Tennessee up 10-7 and start the onslaught.

On their next possession the Titans ran nine plays, seven of them runs by 2nd round pick and 2015 Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry, to move 63 yards for another score. Henry got his first NFL TD with a 6-yard. Tennessee went to the half up 17-10.

In the 3rd quarter Zach Mettenberger came in and reminded Titans fans why they were so happy to get rid of him. The former Tennessee starter threw an awful pass that was picked off by rookie safety Kevin Byard. Mettenberger finished with just two completions in eight attempts.

The Bolts got the ball right back when linebackers Josh Perry and Nick Dzubnar sandwiched Titans wideout Tre McBride, forcing a fumble that was recovered by safety Dexter McCoil. That was the only turnover the Bolts forced.

Two possessions later Mettenberger was replaced at quarterback by Mike Bercovici, an undrafted rookie from Arizona State. He tried to force a ball over the middle and had it picked off by linebacker Justin Staples. That turnover set up another big Tennessee run.

On the very next play Bishop Sankey cut back and went 41 yards for a touchdown, the third Titan running back to score in the game. Keep in mind in the entire 2015 season the Chargers had two running backs score a TD (Danny Woodhead and Donald Brown, who is no longer with the team).

Tennessee finished with 288 yards on 33 carries, an average of 8.7 yards per carry. Of course that set social media ablaze with people wondering if unsigned rookie Joey Bosa, the defensive lineman the Chargers drafted 3rd overall in this year's NFL Draft, would have made a difference.

At least the Bolts know what areas they have to work on when they get back to practice on Monday in Murphy Canyon.

Marion Christopher Barry, son of the late D.C. mayor, has died after a drug overdose, family members told News4's Tom Sherwood.

Sherwood first reported the story on Twitter just before 6 a.m. Sunday. He said Barry had struggled with drug use and ran unsuccessfully for the Ward 8 Council seat in 2015 after his father, former Mayor Marion Barry, died.

Christopher Barry, 36, was the son of Marion and Effi Barry.

According to a police report, the person who reported Christopher Barry's death said Barry went outside about 12:10 a.m. Sunday to smoke K-2 and PCP. When he returned, Barry was "'acting crazy/different' and then he suddenly 'dropped.'"

Barry was found unconscious and unrepsonsive. He was taken to George Washington University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a couple hours later, the report said.

Cora Masters Barry, wife of the former mayor, issued a statement on Sunday.

"Christopher's sudden death has been devastating news to me. My heart is broken. I am in shock. The news of his death is beyond comprehension.

"I would like to thank everyone for their concern and support. I would also like to send my condolences to Mrs. Polly Lee Harris, Christopher's grandmother, for the loss of her only grandchild.

"Please understand that I will not be making any further statements at this time."

Marion Barry was mayor of Washington, D.C., from 1979 to 1991 and 1995 to 1999. He also served on the Council of the District of Columbia for three terms, one as an at-large member and two serving Ward 8.

His prominance as mayor and a civil rights leader changed after he was videotaped and arrested by the FBI on crack cocaine charges in 1990.

The former mayor always hoped his son would follow in his political footsteps, but Sherwood said Christopher Barry never seemed to warm up to the public spotlight like his father. Christopher Barry's bid for a Ward 8 seat, running as Marion C. Barry, fell short in 2015, coming in sixth place.

Christopher Barry also had his share of problems with the law, starting in 2005 with a misdemeanor assault charge for resisting arrest. He also faced drug-related charges in 2011, 2013 and 2014.

Effi Barry died of leukemia in 2007. Cora Masters Barry, widow of Marion Barry, confirmed to Sherwood that Christopher Barry died.

A News4 I-Team investigation found that synthetic drug overdoses, including overdoses on K-2, accounted for 10-times more EMS calls than heart attacks in D.C.

Montgomery County officials said a fifth body has been found in the rubble of an explosion and fire of an apartment building in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Police said a fifth victim was found on Sunday afternoon.

A fourth victim was found on Saturday, police said Sunday morning. The bodies have been taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore, where three other bodies found at the scene Thursday and Friday were transported.

Police said they believe the four victims are among the eight people reported missing who were presumed to be in the apartment building at the time of the blast. But officials have not been able to positively identify the bodies.

The missing have been identified as Saeda Ibrahim, 41; Augusto Jimenez Sr., age 62; Maria Auxiliadorai Castellon-Martinez, age 53; Aseged Mekonen, age 34; Deibi “David” Samir Lainez Morales, age 8; Oscar Armando Ochoa, age 55 – NOTE: No photo available; Fernando Josue Hernandez Orellana, age 3; and Saul Paniagua, age 65.

Officials said the search for more victims has been slowed by the unstable condition of the building, as well as the extreme heat conditions.

The explosion and fire on Aug. 11 injured 31 residents. Three firefighters were also hurt battling the blaze.

The blast at the Flower Branch Apartments in the 8700 block of Arliss Street occurred around 11:50 p.m. Thursday night. Residents reported smelling gas before the explosion, and officials responded to calls for a potential gas leak at the complex on July 25.

The cause of the explosion and fire is still under investigation.

Two Muslim-American women who reported being physically assaulted and harassed on a Chicago neighborhood sidewalk Thursday, blame the political climate created by Donald Trump for the attack.

Suzanne Damra says the woman followed her and her mother as they walked to their car just after daybreak Thursday, in the 1600 block of West Howard St. in Rogers Park, spitting at them and hurling anti-Islamic insults. The two women were wearing a hijab, the traditional Muslim head covering.

Cellphone video captured by one of the victims from inside the car shows the alleged assailant trying to open the car's doors.  The woman can be heard saying “You're ISIS [EXPLETIVE]. You're ISIS [EXPLETIVE].”

The woman then appears to try to break the car's side view mirror. Damra said it was at least the fifth time she and her mother had been accosted by the woman.

Her mother, meanwhile, can be heard in the video blaming the woman's bigotry on the Republican presidential candidate, who has called for a ban on Muslims seeking to immigrate to the United States.

"That's what you get from Donald Trump!" she screams as the suspect walks away. "Encouraging crazy people."

In an interview with NBC5, Damra’s mother Siham Zahdam said she believes Trump’s rhetoric had emboldened people with anti-Islamic sentiments.

“People copy what he is saying,” she said. “And they think he is going to make the white people more powerful.”

Damra tells NBC5 that she was more upset by the lack of empthay of two bystanders, who she said witnessed the incident and did not intervene, then the attack itself.

“There were two very young men, I don’t think they were more than 21 or 22,” she said. “They were laughing, they high-fived her, and said, 'yeah, they are ISIS.'”

Chicago Police said they are investigating the incident as a simple assault. But Chicago’s Council on American-Islamic Relations called for both state and federal authorities to make a more aggressive inquiry.

“It’s very clearly a hate crime,” said CAIR spokesman Hoda Katebi. “To file this as a simple assault is not at all close to what it actually is.”

A Chicago Police spokesman acknowledged that police know who the alleged assailant is, but said investigators are waiting for the two women to swear out a formal complaint.

More than 7,000 people have been rescued from their homes after massive floods swept across Louisiana, and officials warned Sunday that even though the rain had subsided, dangers loomed.

"It's not over," Gov. John Bel Edwards said Sunday. "The water's going to rise in many areas. It's no time to let the guard down."

The flooding killed at least four people. The latest casualty was reported Sunday night, with officials confirming that a 59-year-old man was swept away by the current while walking along a road in Tangipahoa City on Friday. The man, who was not identified, drowned, said Devin George, director of the state registrar.
