how everyone on board managed to escape without serious injury. and the ultimate survivor. the 16-year-old who walked away from a plane crash after two days in the wilderness and the dramatic moment where she meets the famous hero who she says saved her life. >> i really have looked up to you, since i was super little. thank you is much. >> it's only on "gma" this morning. we do say good morning, on this friday morning and we have powerful images out of chattanooga. the massive police response. the gunman armed with an assault rifle. targeting u.s. service members. you're looking live at the recruiting office, one of the sites of the shooting. >> look at the bullet holes. on the windows and doors. there were shell casings all across the floor. and this is a photo of the gunman, mohammad abdulazeez. >> we are following the latest out of chattanooga. here's what we know. four marines confirmed killed. their identities have not yet been released. three people were injured including a police officer heard in the firefight. the motive is unclear. the fbi has launched a full investigation. >> call it an act of domestic terrorism. law enforcement is on high ra alert around the country right now, security stepped up in virtually all federal buildings and we have full team coverage of this story starting with abc's jim avila in chattanooga, good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, george. i'm standing in front of the strip mall where the shooting began. the fbi evidence truck still in place there throughout the night and then again this morning as chattanooga tries to wake up from that half-hour nightmare that they'll never forget. a burst of gunfire in a neighborhood strip mall, a direct attack on american military recruiters at 10:45 in the morning. offices from each branch of the service, in this one row of storefronts. >> he just pulled up and next thing you know he lifted up his arms like this with a big black gun and it was one shot and then endless shots. >> all units respond. we're treating this as a mass casualty incident. >> reporter: he pulled into the parking lot in his silver mustang, convertible top down gun extended. one marine shot in the leg and before anyone could react the car roars away right up highway 75, seven miles to a second military site. the navy reserve support center. >> apparently there's a shooter at the tree line. >> reporter: here the shooter would leave his car, enter the building and battle police and mps face-to-face killing four marines and injuring two other service members. "abc news now" confirmed one of the names of the dead. marine thomas sullivan who survived two tours in iraq only to die in chattanooga. >> 32-year-old female unresponsive. >> reporter: all ending in just 30 minutes then a hail of gunfire. police shoot and kill the gunman. identified as 24-year-old mohammad youssuf abdulazeez shown here in a mug shot after a drunk driving arrest. a u.s. national born in kuwait described by friends as an all-american child of the south. >> there's no way. knowing the guy that i went to school with and knowing what he did. it really hit me in the gut. >> reporter: a s.w.a.t. team raided the suspect's home and removed two women in handcuffs. the investigation into the shooter's background already under way. >> we are treating this as an act of domestic terrorism. >> reporter: through the night mourners showed up at this targeted piece of america. to honor the uniformed victims, the president asked all americans to mourn. >> it is a heartbreaking circumstance for these individuals. >> reporter: the fbi is in charge of this investigation. they say it is domestic terrorism. no evidence of outside of the united states connections and they tell the community they are reassuring the community that they're safe. that this was a lone gunman. robin? we are learning new details about the killer. a recent college grad and electrical engineer not on the fbi's radar and abc's brian ross is here with that side of the story. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, robin. he was a practicing muslim who grew up in small town america, hixson, tennessee but officials say mohammad abdulazeez was not one of the scores of young americans being watched for possible terror links. this quiet neighborhood was home for the accused shooter. this morning, it is at the center of the massive fbi investigation. >> we are just beginning this investigation. at this point we don't have anything that directly ties him to an international terrorism organization. >> reporter: he was born in kuwait but he and his family have lived in the u.s. since 1992. at one point his father was even named a special policeman for the city of chattanooga. he had plenty of american friends growing up seen here in a youtube video with some of them at a local swimming hole. >> he was just a typical american kid in high school. >> reporter: but in his high school senior yearbook abdulazeez wrote "my name causes national security alerts. what does yours do?" in a local newspaper it quoted his sister as saying she had been harassed at school because of her muslim faith. it was around that time that abdulazeez took up mixed martial arts. he's the one on top in this video posted on youtube. >> mohammad abdulazeez. >> reporter: but from outward appearances he did not appear to be a loser angry at america. or the military. his proud mother posted these photos after his graduation from the university of tennessee at chattanooga, as an electrical engineer. but given thursday's deadly attack. something clearly changed in abdulazeez's life since then. it was only in the last year or so that abdulazeez started wearing a long beard, often a sign of the religiously devout. this was a mug shot from a dui arrest three months ago. and following that search of his family home, the fbi this morning is analyzing his use of the internet and social media including a blog connected to an e-mail address he's used with an entry just this monday that, quote, said life is short and bitter. unquote. george? >> okay. >> let's get more from senior justice correspondent pierre thomas. pierre, as we've said fbi taking the lead here and just last week the fbi director told you this is the kind of attack he's been worried about. >> reporter: exactly. the fbi sent hundreds of agents to chattanooga to begin dissecting the life of the suspect interviewing family members and associates and plan to exploit any telephones and computers that he used in their hunt for evidence and they want to know if he had any help and whether he was inspired by isis or any other terrorist organization. attorney general loretta lynch, fbi director james comey and homehand security officer jay johnson are directly involved in this investigation. and i can tell you there is a sense of urgency. this morn there's great concern about coppyy cats, with no specific ties to isis have been identified but authorities have been warning the group is flooding social media with daily messages for supporters to attack inside the u.s. george? >> which is why you have all these federal facilities on high alert right now. we have seen in recent weeks other attacks by isis sympathizers targeting the military. >> reporter: yes, george, there's case after case. in march two illinois men charged with supporting isis with one allegedly planning to don a national guard uniform to kill soldiers at the local military base. so great concern and urgency today, george. >> thanks, pierre. we are joined by chattanooga's mayor andy berke and police chief fred fletcher. chief fletcher, let me begin with you. it sounds like your officers were engaged if a pretty fierce gun battle. what can you tell us? >> officers rushed towards a known hostile threat and they engaged a threat and put themselves between danger and our community and helped save lives in the city of chattanooga. our heart goes out to the victims of the armed forces, but i'm very, very proud and humbled at the selfless sacrifice of the members of the chattanooga police department. >> what more do we know about the kind of weapons abdulazeez had and how he got them. >> the investigation is being led by the fbi and atf and they are actively processing the crime scene to determine exactly what weapons were used against our community and police officers. >> pretty confident your officers took him down. that he didn't shoot himself. >> i'm absolutely confident they saved many lives yesterday. >> the father of abdulazeez was employed by the public works department. what more do we know about him and there had been some reports he had been on a terrorist watch list in the past. >> our federal law enforcement officers and our local police department are investigating every connection that the shooter had from family to friends to outside. and they're going to continue to look at this. the local muslim community was outraged and shocked by what happened yesterday and we've seen very strong statements from them condemning what happened. >> we have seen those statements. do you have any fear of retaliations against muslims in your community? >> well, last night chief fletcher and the entire police department team went out, we contacted the muslim community, we made sure that people felt protected. the goal here is we want everybody in our community to feel safe, no matter who they are, certainly that applies to the people who proudly serve our country. it also applies to the people who want to worship of any faith in chattanooga. >> and, chief fletcher, has abdulazeez had any run-ins with the police before we know? he had been scheduled to appear in court for some kind of a dui. >> george, that's the only thing that's come to our attention but we continue to work with our investigators and the fbi to see if there were any other contacts that might have been documented in any other way but right now that's the only one that's come to our attention. >> gentlemen, thank you both for joining us this morning. our condolences for your loss. >> thank you. and our entire team will be tracking this throughout the day. >> our thoughts and prayers with the families in chattanooga and that entire community this morning. as we turn now to another mass shooting, the verdict in the colorado movie theater massacre, james holmes found guilty of killing 12 people and injuring 70 more. the question now is whether he will get the death penalty or spend the rest of his life behind bars. abc's clayton sandell has that story. >> we the jury find the defendant james eagan holmes guilty. >> reporter: this morning james holmes already an admitted killer is now a convicted one guilty on 165 charges including murder and attempted murder. >> i've got seven down in the theater. >> reporter: three years ago the 27-year-old killed these 12 people and injured 70 at a midnight premiere of a "batman" movie. >> guilty. >> reporter: he remained motionless hands in his pockets. his attorneys failing to convince the jury that he was insane. >> the mental illness is the reason, the sole reason that this crime took place. >> but prosecutors argued though he is mentally ill holmes was not insane and that night knew right from wrong. >> sandy and loni phillips lost their daughter jessica. they came to court every single day for weeks. what does this day mean for you? >> that he's never going to see the light of day ever again. >> reporter: beginning this week sentencing. the jury will now decide if holmes should face the rest of his life in prison or the death penalty. for "good morning america," clayton sandell, abc news, centennial, colorado. >> thanks to clayton for that. we turn to tornadoes touching down overnight. eight reported in illinois and iowa causing major damage snapping power lines leaving thousands in the dark and ginger tracking all that. >> we are so lucky that tornado west of illinois did not injury anyone. but this week has been so turbulent, more than or almost 1100 severe storm reports and now that includes the eight reported tornadoes just yesterday. >> tornado. oh, my gosh. >> reporter: an impressive tornado tearing across northwestern illinois. >> this is not good. this is a very big tornado. >> reporter: the twister making its way across this field. you can see debris flying and then transformers igniting. multiple vortices torturing the land. >> oh, my gosh. >> reporter: left behind, power lines snaking through the streets. the twisting winds bending the silo in half. more than a half dozen homes suffering extensive damage. this house split by a tree. in far northwestern missouri, destruction after an ef-1 tornado swept through the town of graham. winds up to 90 miles per hour and in iowa, this funnel cloud forming and moving east toward illinois. and we could do it all again today. damaging wind, not only tornadoes but also hail that looked like this out of iowa. the area on the lookout from wyoming to south dakota all the way into southwestern minnesota. that's the region and this weekend it doesn't get lighter. i will highlight that coming up in your nation's weather. thank you. now the latest on those laser scares in the new york area. 12 planes in all reported that green beam shining in their cockpits. one pilot even complaining of blurred vision. it's part of a disturbing increase in these type of attacks this year. more than 2700 already. abc's david kerley with that story. >> i just saw it out of the corner of my eye and few more times it lit up -- hit the top of our cockpit. >> reporter: a report repeated across the country, 35 accounts of aircraft hit by lasers wednesday night alone, a dozen in new york. >> yeah, they lit us up pretty well. >> reporter: this morning they're intensifying the efforts to find those responsible. >> you're putting the lives of not just the pilots but all the people on the plane at risk. >> reporter: for more than a year the fbi has targeted these people who are what is called lasing jetliners. the problem, though, is getting worse. this year on pace to break a record. every night 15 laser hits on arm average on aircraft. simulation from the fbi shows that little beam of light can blast a cockpit at one of the most critical phases of flight, landing. >> the pilots are concentrating. if somebody bursts a green laser in their face from whatever distance away it will be difficult to see the instruments as well as runway to get that airplane safely on the ground. >> reporter: a pilot hit in new york is suffering blurry vision and these powerful lasers can temporarily blind a pilot. this laser available online can blind you from five feet in five seconds. its effect similar to looking at the sun for more than ten minutes. authorities are prosecuting and putting in jail violators if they can find them, robin. >> hopefully they will find them, david, thanks. now amy with the other top stories starting with the security breach at another major airport. >> all flights had to be stopped in san diego after a man climbed two fences and ran on to the runway. you can see him in the distance. it took about five minutes for police to take him into custody. he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. also breaking overnight a fiery explosion leveling this home in st. louis damaging two other buildings. two people were trapped in that rubble. they are in critical condition. no word yet on what sparked the explosion. officials report no gas odor. new details about the escape of the notorious drug lord known as el chapo. mexican lawmakers revealed 18 minutes past before anyone was alerted of his escape from prison and there was no guard dedicated to monitoring his cell. a helicopter trying to touch down on a narrow strip of land crashes into a pub smashing a ten-foot hole into the wall but the chopper then flipped on its side and the two people on board were able to walk away. remarkably with just minor injuries. former president george h.w. bush remains in the hospital being treated for a broken bone in his neck. but doctors say he is in excellent shape. he's been fitted with a neck brace. his recovery, though, could take up to four months. and finally, a testament to the love nurses give their patients. a 4-year-old girl in a new york hospital fell so in love with her nurse matt, she asked him to marry her. you can see he said yes and 24 hours later the hospital pulled off a beautiful wedding. abby in a dress and veil and matt in his best tuxedo t-shirt. she ran down the aisle, jumped into each other's arms. they ate cake and smashed it in each other's face. they sealed the deal with a hug, not a kiss and they exchanged ring pops. >> perfect. >> so beautiful. >> that is one cute couple. thank you, amy. back to ginger with this huge storm in the pacific. >> dolores. we talked about it yesterday. i just wanted to update you. we have some video of the socorro islands. this is when it was a category 4. likely winds of

infertile. that's the argument for the woman in this case that using the embryos she created with her then husband years ago is now her only hope. this morning the fate of five frozen embryos hangs in the balance in a san francisco court case. mimi lee and ex-husband steven findley locked in a tense court battle over the embryos they created five years ago after learning cancer treatment would leave her infertile. lee, now 46, is fighting for what she says is her only chance to have a biological child. >> the issue of what's going to happen with the embryos is incredibly emotional. ♪ >> reporter: the concert pianist and part-time anesthesiologist sobbed at times during her testimony thursday.
