Officials learning much more about the gunman and his motivations as they scour his rampage. Brian ross here with the latest. Good morning, brian. Reporter good morning. Some surprising developments this morning as the fbi delves foo his background. Hes been a regular at gay club for years witnesses say at the same time federal authorities are capitalizing on two major break, the full exploitation of omar mateens cell phone and the cooperation of a key witness, him. Fbi agents also tore apart mateens apartment in ft. Pierce, florida and after they left we got a first look at how he lived. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] provided to abc news by a univision tv crew. With the reporter describing the messy aftermath of the fbis raid. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] otherwise, a portrait of a normal life. Family photos on the dining table and walls. On the kitchen counter an expired florida firearms license and the room of the killers 3yearold son filled with toys and a bike with a spiderman helmet. No sign of the devotion to isis mateen professed during his attack on the gay nightclub and now fbi agents are hearing accounts that mateen himself has been frequented gay clubs in florida for years and using gay dating apps to make contact with men including kevin west, who talked with abc station ktrk. When he first contacted me he was saying, like asking clubs are popping and things of that sort and what good places are to go. Reporter employees and patrons at the pulse club in orlando told abc news overnight they recognized mateen as a regular there. The shooter used to come into the bar on a regular basis. Sometimes he would be there for a few weeks at a time. Maybe on the weekends. Reporter one florida man told us that mateen was a regular at gay clubs going back at least ten years when he was at a Police Training academy in florida. George. My goodness. Okay, brian, thanks very much. Back to amy in orlando and there is another terror attack overseas. Thats right, george. A developing story there, two Police Officers, a husband and a wife, stabbed to death in france by a man isis claims is their fighter and abcs Alex Marquardt is in paris now with the latest details for us, good morning to you, alex. Reporter good morning, amy. Thats right, french officials are calling this a despicable act of terrorism. This attack took place around s. W. A. T. Teams quickly responded killing t attacker. Weve just learned that two more people have been taken into custody. This couple lived around 35 miles outside farce. The many husband was a local commander, the wife an assistant. The only person to survive the attack was their 3yearold son. Now, the profile thats emerging of the attacker one weve gotten to know well after all these attacks in europe. He was a 25yearold frenchman. He was known to police when he was younger for things like violence and theft and then he was radicalized and three years ago in 2013 he was sentenced to three years in prison alongside six others for conspiracy to prepare acts of terrorism for recruiting fighters for jihad in pakistan. And just like after the attack in orlando, isis put out a statement claiming that the attacker was a soldier of the islamic state. It appears he was responding to calls, a specific call before the holy month of ramadan for isis supporters to carry out attacks around the world. George. Okay, alex, thanks very much. More on this from the Homeland Security secretary jeh johnson. Mr. Secretary, thank you for joining us. George, thanks for having me. We hear another attack in paris. The french president saying there is a largescale threat there now especially during this month of ramadan. Do we have any Credible Threats of more attacks to come here in the United States . George, not at this stage. The president s number one priority as is mine is the protection of the homeland, protection of the American People as you know, were doing a number of things to do that both military think through aggressive Law Enforcement and Homeland Security and were going to continue and were going to keep at this in this environment of homegrown violent extremism and thats what orlando is looking more and more like. There is a role for the public to play. There is a role for us to play in building bridges with american muslim communities. Thats what weve been doing and keep doing and encourage the public to be vigilant and aware. You say this is like homegrown extremism. Any new signs he was directed by isis or had help . At this point, no. Theres no indication at this point that it was terrorist directed as we say in washington, this appears to be ye another tragic terrorist inspired attack and it reflects the environment were in right now. Accomplices . At this point we know of no accomplices but the investigation continues. Its barely 48 hours after the attack. Talking about this new threat environment. How do we deal with this, San Bernardino, to some he cextent, boston as well as orlando, individuals inspired by isis aislology in some fashion. The special twist here, though, is that this person was clearly on the radar screen, two different fbi investigations, three different interview, being watched for more than 11 months but still able to buy a gun. How do you explain that. Good question. Were taking the fight to isil militarily in places where they recruit, where they train, where they direct, weve made Good Progress in taking out some of the leaders in taking out those focused on external attacks. There is obviously the Law Enforcement role but were in an environment now of selfradicalization, its almost always the case that when someone selfradicalizes someone closes to them sees the sign which is why we continue to encourage public awareness, public vigilance. This shooter was under investigation in 2013 as jim comey said yesterday, he was interviewed several times. At that point the fbi had nothing further to continue its investigation with. Yet he was on a watch list. Should that information have gone to various gun shops when someone goes in to buy a gun can. When someone is on a watch list, when someone is under investigation, there are a number of us in federal government, in Law Enforcement, in the intelligence community, in Homeland Security who know about that, who are investigations eventually do close when theres nothing further to investigate because the matter has been thoroughly investigated. We continually evaluate our Security Posture and whether we should be doing something differently and well continue to do. Finally this has been intercorrected in the debate. Donald trump seeming to question the president s sympathies and commitment to fighting al qaeda and also saying its time to double down on this idea of banning immigration of muslims and he wants to expand it to banning immigration for a time from any country with a proven history of terrorism against the u. S. Your response. Number one, i know from working with him for seven years the president s number one priority is the protection of the American People, protection of the homeland. I know that from my Defense Department experience and now nye Homeland Security experience. I wont comment on what the candidates say running for president. I will say that overly simplistic ban people from entering this country based on religion or ban people from an entire region of the world is counterproductive. It will not work and we need to build bridges to communities, to americanmuslim communities now to encourage them to help us in our Homeland Security efforts. Secretary johnson, thanks for your time this morning . Thank you. Amy. Well, george, more now on the political response. The orlando terror attack looming large, of course, over the president ial race both donald trump and Hillary Clinton speaking out about the massacre clashing with their responses and Abcs Cecilia Vega has the very latest from pittsburgh. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter amy, good morning to you. Two candidates, two very different messages about terrorism, about muslims in this country, even about who is best for the Gay Community. The one thing that is clear, what happened in orlando now looms front and center over this race for the white house. This morning, donald trump not just doubling down on his controversial muslim ban, he now from any country with a history of terrorism should not be allowed into the u. S. We cannot continue to allow thousands upon thousands of people to pour into our country, many of whom have the same thought process as this savage killer. Reporter and in the wake of the orlando massacre, trump says hes the best candidate for the Gay Community. Hillary clinton can never claim to be a friend of the Gay Community as long as she continues to support immigration policies that bring islamic extremists to our country. Reporter overnight trump going even further. They want to make women slave, okay. And yet shes fine with, you know, the women say, oh isnt she wonderful . Shes not wonderful for women. Reporter in what was billed as a major terrorism speech surrounded by teleprompter but veering off script with this misleading statement. The killer whose name i will not use or ever say was born in afghan of afghan parents who immigrated to the United States. Reporter in the battleground state of ohio inflammatory antimuslim rhetoric hurts the vast majority of muslims who love freedom and hate terror. Reporter Hillary Clintons call for tougher gun laws drawing a standing ovation. I believe weapons of war have no place on our streets. And [ cheers ] reporter trumps latest target, the Washington Post revoking their press credentials calling it phony and dishonest. The post editor firing back saying the post will continue to cover donald trump as it has all along, honorably, honestly, accurately, energetically and unflinchingly. And Hillary Clinton and president obama were supposed to hit the campaign trail together for the first time tomorrow. Thats following his big endorsement of her. That trip has since been postponed and we now know we understand that he will be meeting with the victims families. Thanks very much. Lets bring in y2k for more. Jon, were seeing on the campaign trail two quite different approaches to this threat. Reporter the contrast couldnt be starker, george. You have Hillary Clinton who is talking in terms of empathy and unity, resolve. And donald trump who is channeling the anger and fear of the American People following an attack like this. This is a tactic that, worked well for donald trump for the primaries. That muslim ban was one of his most popular opinions popular stances in state after state even though he was roundly attacked by republicans. Now he is again trying to channel that anger and fear, a very different approach than what were hearing from Hillary Clinton or from the president. Offering voters a big choice. Jon karl, thanks very much. Here with lara and michael. We saw that vigil in orlando. Tributes pouring in from around the world. All around the world and all around this country. There are outpouring of love and support for the victims in or nba final game five in oakland, there was a moment of silence. Yeah, the American Flag unfurled as former player grant hill who played for orlando, he lives in the city, he led the ceremony taking a moment to recognize and honorhe 49 People Killed and 53 wounded in sundays attack, george. That was a moving right there. We want to bring in robin in china and, robin, youre there in part to cover the opening of disneys newest resort and the whole disney family so connected to orlando. Reporter really is, george. We landed in shanghai on sunday. We turned on our phones devastated to learn, of course, about the tragic shooting back home in orlando. People recognize that we are americans, they convey their condolences, they were all coming up to us. Yesterday i spent some time with dwiz chairman and ceo bob igor. He received a call in the middle of the night about the shooting. He expressed his concern for the victims, everyone in orlando including the more than he said as much as disney is in the business of creating fun and enabling people to escape elements of their daily life we are reminded that the world is, up deed, real and at times very dangerous and that is something that is not lost on any of us here, george. I am sure of that, robin. Thanks so much. Well have much more from you but right now to ginger. Dangerous weather again today. Tornadoes, more than 83 severe storm reports, hermosa, south dakota, some of the damage there and, of course, this tornado nocturnal north of amarillo, texas, today the threat slides to the east.

The family of this woman seen in that chilling and sad snapchat video inside the club they are speaking out. When they thought they should westart saving for retirement. Le then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. This gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us arent prepared for retirement. Just start as early as you can. Its going to pay off in the future. If we all start saving a little more today, well all be better prepared tomorrow. Prudential. Bring your challenges.

Good morning, amy. Its incredible, george and everyone, good morning, Norman Casiano was shot inside the nightclub hiding with others inside a cowed bathroom stall when the gunman walked in and started shooting. Norman was just discharged from the hospital on monday and spoke with us moments ago. I see you still have your yes. Wristband on. How are you feeling . Im just im still gathering everything just trying to make sense of everything. Physically its a lot. Theres pain but emotionally emotionally its a whole other level. Take us back to that night. You were about to call uber. You were about to leave the bar when the shots rang out and you managed to get to a bathroom. Yes. Tell me what happened next. Once i heard the first two shots i knew it wasnt music and i to the floor as i could and crawled my way to the bathroom and went into the biggest stall they had and once i got in there there was already about 20 people hiding and just lined up against the walls with me there came like another group of like 10 or 15 more so in total there were like 30 or more of us in there. Then you heard you were listening to the shots but then you started hearing them get closer and louder. Yes, at that point it became extra real. It became really real at that point everyone just was ducking and closing their eyes and just i heard a lot of people praying. I myself was praying just saying that this cant be my last moments here like this cant be whats going to happen right now. Its just its still very surreal. I cannot even imagine and then the gunman came into the bathroom. Actually a victim made his way into the bathroom first. Away and he had gotten hit already. So he was following that person into the bathroom. Yes. We didnt really put two and two together right away but the person was so injured he automatically fell to the floor and i was one of the closest people to the front where you could see the space he was laying underneath. We were trying to get him to be able to come into the stall but there were so many people that there was no way oh, my god. Of being able to get him in. I was just consoling him and, you know, telling him just make sure you like breathe and be quiet so that he doesnt hear us or, you know, so nothing worse happens and i just told him to look me in the eye and just relax and i ill remember this forever. He justing looked me in the eye and he was just like i dont want to die. At that moment the shooter came in and had fired another at that moment he fired another shot at the gentleman who was on the floor. And killed him. Yes. Actually witnessed his last few moments. At that moment he then rang fire on the stall just without knowing where he was shooting. He just shot at the stall. I was near the front and once i heard the him cocking the gun i turned there was no space. Everyone was piling up on top of each other trying to get as far away as possible and when he rang the first shots, thats when i got hit on my left i mean right side and i automatically knew like this was it was real. He had like a good three, ten seconds in between that and at that moment i pulled out my phone and started calling my parents. My phone was dying because i wasnt expected to be there that long so my father was able to pick up and the only thing i was able to put out with the last few seconds of my phone was mom, you know, i love you guys and then the phone hung up so i got even more distracted because im like this is real. This is really happening. We started screaming and yelling at him like please dont do this. We havent seen your face. We dont who you are. We havent even heard your voice yet like just please dont do this and i dont know if that made him want to do it more. He grabbed the gun and shot over the top of the stall. Oh, my god. Thats when i got hit on this side. And you said he didnt speak but he was laughing. He laughed once when he shot the gentleman in the front. Which its something im never ever going to be able to like remove from its imprinted forever like its just very intense how someone could be doing what hes doing and laugh at the same time. And as hes ringing fire i got got severely hit. One of the girls who i was actually having a good time with that night was right next to me and as i turned to like close my eyes, its happening, you dont have anywhere to go, i turned back to make sure, you know, im just looking around to see what happened and she was already unresponsive. Oh, i literally cant imagine living through that and then youre shot. How did you get out of that bathroom stall . I honestly dont even know where the courage and the strength came from because i was by the time i was thinking of leaving i was already shot on this side. When he shot on this side the second time everyone just immediately got quiet and like i like fell to the floor because at that moment thats when your body realizes youve been shot twice and i guess he thought that whoever was in there he had already taken care that point he left and i could hear the shots getting further and further away, i guess just hearing my parents voice and just thinking like theres more, theres no way this is going to be where my life ends and the door wouldnt open so i had to which is so impacting in my head. I had to then step on someones body and the last image is my foot print bloodied on their pants to then get on the sink and i had to pull myself up over the stall while i had like a space this big so i just pushed myself and i literally just landed on the floor and then i heard more gunshots so i scooted over and hid under the sink and once i saw flashlights i knew that the police was here and hopefully we were going to be okay at that point i still yelled and was like, lets get out. Lets get out. Everyone is being quiet or saying shh hment. I poke my h so the police didnt know what was going on or anything and they fired. I then pulled back. Oh, my goodness and started screaming. I guess i started going that a little bit of shock. Right, right. I started screaming and yelling im a victim, im a victim and they shined the flashlight. Theyre just if youre a vic, show us your hands and run out as fast as possible. Thats what i did. What an unbelievable story. Thank you for sharing it with us. Of course. Its an important thing for us to all hear and we are so glad, so glad that you are able to tell your mom and dad you loved them. Yes, yes. Thank you for being with us. Thank you. What an incredible story and i i have to say norman got over to the interview using a walker. He is still physically so weak but you can see there his spirit is so strong and he knows he needs to get some mental help after this, after living through some so horrific and we certainly hope that all the people in that nightclub who made it out get the help they need after living through something thats boy, they really are going to need it. As you said its just impossible for someone who hasnt been through it to imagine what that must have been like. He said that imprint, that memory will probably never go away. Thanks, amy.

Just fifteen minutes and a little imagination are all you need to make summer magic. Chex party mix. Its what summer is made of. Time now for our big board. Our team of insiders ready to weigh in on todays story. Dan is right here with us to chat in just a moment but we do want to talk again about orlando. No one ever expects to be in a mass shooting but the reality of the orlando massacre shows us it can happen anywhere at any time. John matthews, a 30year Law Enforcement veteran author of mat shootings six at thes surviv survival is here with what to do if youre there. What do we do . Well, the first thing you want to do is exit. Get as far from the shooter as you possibly can. You may not have to go out the entrance that you came in. Look for anyway to get out, a side door, a back door, a loading door. Maybe go through a kitchen. We heard several witnesses said that they got out and put distance between themselves and the shooter and resist that urge to go back in. I know you want to help your friends but you dont want to be a victim. Once you if you cant exit then the next best thing to do is to find cover. Cover is anything that will protect you from bullets. We heard a bartender say i grabbed ten people and we dove behind the bar. The bar actually deflected the bullets and saved lives. So jump behind a copier, a soda machine, anything that will stop or deflect those bullets. If you cant exit and you cant find cover, the next best thing to do is conceal yourself. Get behind a that will hide you from the shooters sight. We heard some victims say they actually pulled bodies over themselves and concealed themselves from the shooter. If you can get out of that shooters line of sight then your chances of surviving the incident go up dramatically. I tell you what, i have one other quick question for you. What about engaging the shooter if you feel like you have a chance to engage them . Should you do that and should you try to stop them . Our Research Says no, only as a last resort should you engage the shooter. Almost all the time that an unarmed citizen engages a shooter they end up being a vic. Only during the following circumstances when you have three or more people. When the shooter is engaged in a nonshooting activity and you can attack him simultaneously do you have any chance to survive. You know what, john, thank you for your advice, hopefully its advice none of us will ever need but thank you so much, john. Now to one of the Biggest Bands of all time led zeppelin in stole the open for stairway to heaven from a song by another band and dan abrams is here. Our chief legal analyst joining us now and, dan, first lets listen to the songs. Heres stairway to heaven by led zeppelin. We all recognize that melody. Now lets listen to the 1960 song taurus by a group called spirit. Sounds very familiar, dan. We just had ed sheeran get sued for 20 million as and had the blurred lines case. Do you think there is a case here. These cases are toughment a lot of this has been thrown out. We want artists to build on the work of others but we dont want them to rip them off. The two fundamental question, is well, it sounds that way. To my ear. But, remember, the question isnt just sounds, its more important actually in a case like this the musical composition. And number two, and probably the most contested question in this case is access. Meaning the spirit team effectively says, look, we were touring with them. They were sitting in the front row. We were talking to them about our music yet jimmy page who wrote stairway to heaven says i never heard that song when i wrote it so important question there. And the song came out in 1968 so a few years later that led zeppelins song came out. Still a long time ago. Yes, absolutely. They just issued a remastered version in 2014 and so thats now considered a new work and so theyre within the statute of limitations at this point. Well, its in the hands of the court right now. Well see how that goes. Whats on the court now is the nba finals. Cavaliers down 32 on their way to ray comeback or trying to make a comeback. Threetime nba champ and analyst bruce bowen joins us with what to expect thursday night and no team has ever made a comeback from 31 in the finals. Cavaliers inching closer. What do they have to do to pull off a miracle . Well, first of all, you got to keep that same attack mentality you have from lebron james and kyrie irving. For them to go for 82 points between the two of them, that was incredible. 41 and 41, they play like their back was against the wall and thats what you want. Michael, you know as a competitor when you go on the road you got to be focused. They shot 53 from the field. Golden state, 36 . You are at home. You got to do a better job. All right, so i have some stats here. This did not come from me just watching the game. Lebron james, 41 point, 16 rebounds, if Draymond Green was not spuspended do you think lebron would have had such a big game. Would of, could of, should have. They did what they had to do. You cant worry about whos not there. Its about who is on the court and whos making an impact. Lebron james and kyrie irving made the necessary impact. Now you look at the leagues mvp and steph curry. What are you going to do, 8 for 21 at home. I think hell be focused going into the next game and youll sigh a different steph curry and the Golden State Warriors with Draymond Green back on the floor. Ruhroh. Who you got, cavs . No, i said the cavs early on but now im starting to think we will all find out. We thank you, dan, bruce and we thank you, john. And we will be right back in two minutes.

I mean thats a mother thats a mother of a woman and a child. She feels t far as were missing two people in our lives that we dearly love. And thats her thats per opinion.

I think i think everything that i talked about in this book i dont think i dont think what area it was scary what area was the scariest. I just had to get it out.
