>> reporter: all six of those killed were studentsko at nearby uc santa barbara, a school that attracts some of the top students in the country. as we learn more about those victims and the vicious attack here, police are looking more closely into the suspect's life. overnight investigators with search warrants collecting boxes full of evidence from two los angeles area homes where the mother and father of suspected gunman elliot rodger lived. from a balcony, ellen cotton reporting just a few seconds of the gunfire on the street below before taking cover. >> it was so close and just so terrifying. >> shots fired. shots fired. >> reporter: the first call for help, 9:27 friday night. police say 22-year-old rodger opened fire outside the alpha phi sorority house. >> i'm going to enter the hottest sorority house of ucsb. >> reporter: three young women shot. two sorority sisters killed. katie cooper and veronika weiss. >> she would say i miss you, daddy, but live your life to the fullest. >> reporter: the shooter's next target, a deli. where this surveillance video shows startled students dodging bullets. here another student died, sophomore chris michael-martinez. the killing spree continued. a total of ten locations in this small college town where police say rodger hurt 13 and killed 6. he drove madly through the streets firing out his window and using his car to strike bicyclists and pedestrians. deputies exchanged fire with the gunman twice before they say he crashed his black bmw and was found dead after apparently shooting himself in the head. in his car, more than 400 rounds of ammunition and three semiautomatic handguns all legally purchased by and registered to him. yet investigators say rodger used a different weapon at his own apartment where they later found the bodies of three more students stabbed repeatedly. abc news has learned they were his housemates and one of their visiting friends. george chen chang james hong, weihan wang. uc santa barbara canceled classes tomorrow. they're calling it a day of mourning and reflection and planning a large memorial service at the stadium on campus campus campus. there is good news out here this morning. the six students still hospitalized are all improving, all now in fair condition or better. david? >> that's good to hear. what a horrific weekend. bazi, thank you. bazi showed us that image of 20-year-old christopher martinez, the last of the six people killed in the rampage. his grieving father, richard, giving the heartbreaking speech about suddenly and senselessly losing his son and making a forceful appeal for more aggressive gun control policies. and here this morning, richard martinez in his own words. >> christopher ross michael-martinez was born december 23, 1993, in san luis obispo, california. he was our only child and he died friday night. he was very smart, very active. he loved reading, loved sports, movies, he was looking forward to going to breakfast tomorrow with his new girlfriend and her family. he hadn't met them yet and if you talked to kids who played with him on sports teams, you'd find this was a kid that led through energy, example and never giving up. he was so much a part of our ñ lives that it's hard to imagine how things are going to be like now that he's gone if we have to live with this. we want to do what we can so nobody else has to go through this. nobody needs to own three semiautomatic handguns. it doesn't make sense. the solution to the problem of gun violence in america will take a lot of people working on different aspects of the problem. mental health, violence and the intimidation of women, but what we are trying to do is try to understand why chris died and try to make it mean something. >> to hear a father in his own words, just the anguish and trying to find the good in the senseless act. >> that's hard for all these parents. >> indeed. and the killer, elliot rodger's plot had come during the course of the past year all detailed in a chilling manifesto and disturbing video he left behind. abc's clayton sandell is at the apartment building where his deadly rampage began with the very latest. good morning, clayton. >> reporter: good morning, lara. this morning, elliot rodger's parents who are divorced are not speaking publicly. but now we are learning that just moments before this all began, their son sent an ominous warning. just minutes before elliot rodger began his sinister attack, his mother knew something was wrong. >> you forced me to suffer all my life, and now i'll make you all suffer. >> reporter: family friends simon astaire tells abc news that chin rodger had taken a call from her son's therapist, telling her to check her e-mail. waiting in her in-box that 137-page manifesto detailing elliot's jealousy and hatred especially for women, who he blamed for a life of loneliness rejection and misery. it was 9:17 p.m., only 13 minutes before the shooting started. chin rodger then checked her son's youtube page. what she found confirming her worst fear. >> well, this is my last video. it all has to come to this. >> reporter: astaire says elliot's mother frantically called her ex-husband, peter rodger, and later police. the two racing from los angeles to isla vista, along the way radio reports brought news of a shooting. when they reached the police station officers confirmed the shooter was their son. >> he was really, really upset about why is the world so unfair to him. >> girls gave their affection and sex and love to other men but never to me. i'm 22 years old and i'm still a virgin. >> reporter: we now know rodger's family contacted police only weeks earlier, concerned about his increasingly disturbing online rants, sheriff's deputies went to his apartment. >> they determined that he did not meet the criteria for an involuntary mental health hold. >> reporter: they found no reason to take action, but rodger wrote that it would have been different if police had found his guns and his assault plan. if they had demanded to search my room, he wrote, that would have ended everything. rodger's manifesto describes a life of deprivation and unfairness. but his facebook page tells a story of privilege. designer sunglasses and private concerts with katy perry. his dad, an assistant director on "the hunger games." elliot even posted this picture on the red carpet. images of a glamorous life that apparently masked a dark reality. now, because elliot rodger was never institutionalized for mention illness, it was perfectly legal for him to buy those three handguns and hundreds of bullets. david? >> our thanks to you. i want to bring in chief legal affairs anchor dan abrams and it's always easy looking back with hindsight on these things but the call and the e-mail from the therapist to the mom, this was just minutes before the shootings began and a lot of people are going to wonder had the therapist only called police, maybe something could have been done? >> a very long manifesto with very little time, and the laws do vary state to state. there's no question that this therapist would have been allowed to call the police without worrying about the privilege. the question is, was it mandatory? did this therapist have to call the police? it does seem under california law that a therapist can be required to call the authorities to warn, to protect, most importantly if, if the victims are identifiable and this manifesto it does seem that particular people were named so an argument could be made that the psychologist was obligated to protect the victims in this case, but because it was such a long manifesto and so little time it's going to be very fact specific. >> we also know police called authorities before the sheriff's deputies had gone to the home and one thing written in the manifesto, you're aware of that the police interrogated me outside for a few minutes. and he goes on to say if they had demanded to search my room that would have ended everything. for a few horrible seconds i thought it was all over then the biggest wave of relief. that's what he writes. >> this wasn't a search warrant, right. they didn't have the right to go in there. they were there for a welfare check, to make sure that he was not a danger to himself or to others. the police made it pretty clear that in talking to him, there was no real risk at least that they could tell. so very easy so second guess now. tough to blame the police in retrospect. >> without a search warrant you can't go in. thanks very much. lara. >> we want to switch gears to president obama surprising thousands of soldiers in afghanistan. an unexpected memorial day weekend visit. the president thanking them for their service and saying he hopes only a small number of american troops will remain in the country after this year. abc's david kerley has more from the white house. >> reporter: good morning. the president arrived back at the white house this morning after a 32-hour trip to afghanistan to thank the troops, and to give a career indication to the american presence in afghanistan. it was one of those secret trips not announced until the president arrived in the evening darkness surprising even the 3,000 troops gathered. >> hello, bagram. >> reporter: the president offered solemn remembrances for their lost comrades on this memorial day weekend, but then talked about the coming transition. >> for many of you this will be your last tour in afghanistan. [ cheers ] >> reporter: but some may come back. the president, who met with the ambassador and top general, made it clear he wants to keep a u.s. presence after the end of this year, the end of combat operations in afghanistan. >> because after all the sacrifices we've made we want to preserve the gains that you have helped to win. and we're going to make sure that afghanistan can never again ever be used again to launch an attack against our country. >> reporter: how many americans will stay is unclear. it depends on a deal with the future leader of afghanistan. it won't be the current president hamid karzai who rejected an invitation to the air base to meet with the president. the two did speak on the phone. while it was less than a four-hour visit, it was a memorable one for the troops. >> now i'm going to shake every single hand in here. although i may not be able to take a selfie with everybody. [ cheers ] but i'll shake every hand. >> reporter: the president spent 90 minutes shaking hands. we may learn more about the american presence down the road in afghanistan wednesday when the president speaks at west point. one mistake made during the trip, the white house inadvertently released the name of the cia station chief in afghanistan. no word on whether he's going to stay in country or come back home. lara and david. >> all right, now, he was shaking a lot of hands. and said he wouldn't have a time for a selfie with everyone. you know that president, he likes a selfie. >> he sure does. that had to mean a ton to the troops. >> i hope so. now to the pope's historic pilgrimage. another surprise, the holy land and pope francis wrapping up his three-day visit to the mideast today at the dome of the rock in jerusalem. after offering to hosting a peace summit at the vatican, and the image that went global. and abc's terry moran is traveling with the pope. terry, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, david. the pope's pilgrimage to the holy land turned into a daring and controversial quest for peace. today the pope came to this place, the western or wailing wall, the holiest site for jews where he prayed, touched the wall, left a note of prayer, the our father written in his native spanish in the wall. that picture in stark contrast to his unscheduled and controversial visit yesterday to that grim concrete barrier that separates israelis from palestinians in bethlehem. that moment thrilling palestinians, deeply concerning many israelis who see that wall as a life saver from terrorism. the pope crossing all kinds of lines. he uttered the words, state of palestine, a first for a pope, that term rejected by israel and the u.s., but he also invited the president of israel and the president of the palestinians to join him in a prayer for peace at his modest apartment in the vatican, and both men have accepted. it's been an amazing journey and it continues today in israel. david? >> this could be historic. terry, our thanks to you and amy is following that other developing story out of denver. good morning. >> that's right. good morning, everyone. we begin with that story breaking overnight. a mudslide four miles long and two miles wide has struck just west of denver. the wall of mud came crashing down in an area near the town of collbran. there are no reports of any structures damaged, but three people are missing. that mud is about 250 feet deep in some areas. the slide was triggered by heavy rain. hundreds of people have been forced from their homes as a massive wildfire in southern alaska grows larger. the flames now burning 218 square miles on the kenai peninsula. a fire like this is rare in alaska this early in the season. some encouraging news from the firefight in arizona. the wildfire between sedona and flagstaff is 25% contained. pre-evacuation orders are expected to be lifted today. and a man who made his fortune by selling chocolate has been elected president of ukraine. pro-european billionaire petro poroshenko is promising to end the political chaos and crime plaguing that country. today the russian government said it is ready to begin a dialogue with him. and a manhunt is underway for the man caught on this surveillance video calmly walking into the jewish museum in brussels, belgium, before opening fire killing four people. workers and tourists were among his victims. security now being tightened at synagogues across that region. and back in this country near fresno, cameras rolling as a tractor-trailer stalled on the railroad track, the driver run away. the train unable to slow down slamming into the truck sending its cargo of trail mix flying into the air. the bags scattered everywhere on the other side of the tracks. a different view as the train approached the crossing, the man behind the camera suddenly realizes what is ahead. >> we're gonna die. >> stop. >> oh, my god. >> well, thankfully no one died. in fact, despite the violent impact no one was even injured. unlikely hero has entered baseball's history book. dodgers' pitcher josh beckett threw the first no-hitter of the season sunday. capping a remarkable comeback when less than a year ago many thought his career was finished following a risky surgery. finally you've never heard of conrad gregor, but his dad is happy he made the decision to drive all the way from indiana to iowa to watch his son play baseball over the weekend because when conrad got to the plate, he did something he's never done before in the midwest league, he hit a home run. but it gets better, you see it caught. guess who caught it? >> no way. >> yep, that's dad. making the catch of a lifetime. that is so fantastic. what are the odds? and by the way, what a great arm he has. caught that ball. >> like father, like son. >> conrad says his dad might have to come to every game. fá younl you know how supersticious baseball players are. >> is it father's day or memorial day? >> early father's day. that was great. all right, on this memorial day we want to say thanks to the servicemen and women past, present and future for your bravery and commitment to our country. grammy winner brad paisley is generating a lot of buzz this morning for doing just that. he secretly slipped into afghanistan with president obama to do a surprise show for the troops and abc's gio benitez has more on it from our social square. good morning, gio. >> good morning. take a look at that tweet right before hitting the stage about toe the troops in afghanistan. god bless our military. here we go. and then take a look at this picture, of course, because there he is posing in that armored vehicle. bagram, afghanistan, now this is a four-wheel drive. you got that right, brad. let's take a look at that song now, that performance, "southern comfort zone" in afghanistan. ♪ when your wheelhouse is the land of cotton the first time you leave it can be strange ♪ ♪ it can be shocking ♪ >> so take a look. we want to know how you are spending your memorial day. tweet us right now @gma. social square. #socialsquare. david, lara. >> gio, thanks. the storms today after a weekend of severe weather. ginger has the latest. ginger. >> yes, as a general risk of storms as this cold front slips south from florida to michigan. texas is where we focus. this morning it's already happening. just south and east of san antonio. some severe thunderstorm warnings. check that out, could see large hail, even an isolated tornado or some damaging winds in that orange. we had it in the northeast at least in new england, but today it's mostly just warm. 15 degrees above average. the local forecast coming up in just 30 seconds. first the select cities brought to you by smucker's. >> good morning, i am abc7 news meteorologist mike nicco with the microclimate forecast. on this memorial day we have tons of sunshine warmer-than-average weather away from the coast. cold front is going to bring us cooler temperatures tomorrow but it is dry. no clouds. well have more clouds and more cooling this weekend. 60's loan the coast, to 70 in san francisco and 80's inland and the east bay valley, we have 90's there. seven-day forecast after the 50's tonight temperatures are four to eight degrees >> so there it is. your coast-to-coast memorial day forecast. certainly felt like summer here yesterday but by the midweek it's going to get a lot colder. there's your warning. >> yeah, yeah. >> the smile on your face -- >> she can do anything with a smile on her face. >> pretty in pink. all right. coming up on "gma," a shocking lawsuit. the parents suing their daughters' school and teachers claiming they are brainwashed to join a religious cult. and a dramatic rescue caught on camera. the mountain crimer saved after plummeting hundreds of feet on mt. hood. prince william reportedly thinking about returning to the skies as a pilot. why he may put off being a full time royal. what's with these a.m. crunchwraps?
