and my favorite name in today's race is charming kitten for those that like the felines, and a long shot to cheer for, 54-year-old jockey. and rain could be a problem. no matter what, we hope to see the kentucky derby go off today. >> it's anybody's race if it's raining. if it's a sloppy track, bet on the long shot. that will do it for us this hour. i will send it back to boston, and randi kaye is there live, and "cnn saturday morning" starts now. send them back to russia. >> buried near boston. that's the latest word on where

the family of bombing suspect tamerlan tsarnaev wants his body to be, and it's causing an uproar in the recovering city. plus, fires in southern california scorched 28,000 acres and are now threatening 4,000 homes as firefighters race to control the flames. and shooting rifles at the tender age of four. that's how one of our guests this hour learned about guns. we will talk to him about when he got his first rifle and why his mother says there is nothing wrong with marketing guns to young kids. i am randi kaye live from boston this morning. we begin with the boston bombing. the death certificate confirms the violent final moments of tamerlan tsarnaev's death, the owner of the funeral home read the document to cnn, and it says tamerlan tsarnaev died of

gunshots and blunt force trauma. it's not clear what will happen to him now. his body sits in a worcester funeral parlor as many protest the family wanting to bury him in the boston area. and explosive residue was found in the apartment where tamerlan lived with his wife and child. they found the explosive residue in the apartment and where was it and how much was there? >> they found it in three spots. kitchen sink, kitchen table and in the bathtub. keep in mind, these bombs are believed to have been built right in the apartment where he lived with his wife and young child. apparently constructed by tamerlan and his younger brother. this, according to our sources is what the suspect has been telling them. of course they wanted to look for physical evidence and apparently they have found some of that, but there is still so

much work to be done in this investigation. for example, how did they get the training to build these bombs. was it here in the united states? was it strictly online? or did tamerlan, for example, when he travelled to russia, learn from militants over there. >> so many questions about what the wife knew or didn't know as well. what about his burial? do we know when that will happen? >> no details about that only that the body has been moved to a funeral home in worcester, and as you indicated there are a lot of people there that don't like the idea of him being buried anywhere in the boston area as opposed to back in native russia. >> send him back to russia. >> too sad for words. it's too sad. he shouldn't be here. he should never have come. if he never had come, none of this would have happened. he had every advantage he could have here. he shouldn't be buried here. >> i don't care where he is

buried. to me he is dead already. how much more can you punish him? to me, it's too petty. >> so much more to be done with the investigation, questioning the widow here. she is said to be cooperating. she said through her lawyer that she had no prior knowledge and nobody is taking her word for it. they have to ask her questions, and there is a lot more work to be done. >> thank you. families of those killed in the bombings could get more than $1 million a piece from a charity fund set up after the attack. survivors who lost more than one limb also could get more than $1 million and 12 other amputees could each get close to that much, and that's according to the boston globe. and one attorney vowed to issue checks by the end of june.

the fund has raised more than $28 million. new this morning, israel now confirming that it conducted an air strike friday in syria. an israeli official tells reuters it was authorized in a secret meeting with netanyahu's security cabinet. israeli defense officials told cnn, quote, we will do whatever is necessary to stop the transfer of weapons from syria to terrorists organizations. president obama on friday said he doesn't see it happening. >> as a general rule i don't rule things out as commander in chief because circumstances change and you want to make sure

that i always have the full power of the united states at our disposal to meet national security interests and having said that i do not foresee a scenario with american boots on the ground in syria, and it would not only be good for america but it would also be good for syria. now to los angeles where firefighters are battling a ferocious wildfire. in less than two days 28,000 acres burned and it's about 20% contained. 4,000 homes remain under threat. and we are following the situation for us. >> reporter: i am standing where firefighters have gotten the upper hand at least on this

hillside, but they are still a long way before this is considered under control. an uphill battle. scorching heat. swirling winds. devouring brush. another terrifying day for homeowners. the out-of-control blaze marches closer and closer to pam campbell. >> more trash barrels filled with water. >> reporter: defending her home from wildfire with guarden hoses and mops, and she will do it again with this one if she has to. >> you are not throwing buckets down and wasting your auxiliary water. >> crews were ready but stunned by the voracity of this early blaze. >> captain, we should be having this conversation in october and why are we having it in may? >> i wish i could tell you.

california is known for droughts. and we only received one quarter of the snowfall that we normally get so it's a huge concern this year. you are absolutely right, this should not happen for another four months. we are hoping this is not an idea of what is to come. >> reporter: how would you characterize the weather natalie? >> this is a very skits frantic winter and spring. in the southwest, we have not had decent rainfall since january 1st. >> does that alarm you looking at this schizophrenic weather pattern? >> we have seen conditions like this in the past, but what is different over here in the west, over the last 50 years the population of the american southwest has quad tkraoup

kwruld. >> are you exhausted thinking about your summer? >> yes, i think we are all going to be. >> reporter: here is a little more perspective. this is one of the driest years for the southwest in a century. randi? >> thank you very much. so will firefighters catch a break from the weather anytime soon? let's find out more from cnn meteorologist, alexandra steele. any rain heading to southern california? >> you know, improving conditions dramatically. kind of a 180-degree move with this. good news, but there is always the caveat of bad news. and let me delineate it for you. the good news is the hot, offshore winds we have seen. temperatures 93 degrees. they should be in the 60s and 70s. so that's all coming down. the increase in humidity, we

have seen the wind shift to a cooler and humid onshore wind bringing in the moisture from the water which is what we need. we are expecting rain showers light in nature but the timeline for them is sunday through tuesday. and sunday less so and the odds go up. but the bad news is, "a," the rain will be light in nature, but "b" we could see thundershowers with that rain and we could see lightning and you don't want lightning in the dry tender that could spark another fire. within the thunderstorms and thundershowers we could have spiraling and shifting winds and the shifting winds has been one of the most difficult things about the fire. this type of fire and blaze, they don't actually see them until august, september and october, but it has been so incredibly hot and they are in a two-year drought. here is the deal forecast wise. today out of the 90s, and certainly good news.

70s today and 60s tomorrow. only a very slight chance for rain today, and even tomorrow there's a 30% chance rain, and the wind is shifted and there is more humidity. here is the future radar. here is the bullseye of it. monday morning you can see some rain coming in right where we need it. just light scattered rain showers will be the scenario on monday and then into tuesday, rand randi. much improved conditions, no question about it. >> all right. that is good news. thank you. now to wall street this morning where a strong april jobs number sent markets soaring on friday. the s&p 500 touched the 1600 level for the first time ever, and that's good news for your 401(k). for your perspective, if you vested 10,000 at the market low in 2009 that money would be worth nearly $24,000 today. and highlighted in the reports, strong growth in the restaurant

and food service industry with 38,000 jobs added last month. in houston, texas, the nra is hosting their annual meeting. it's their first since the newtown shooting massacre, and the first since president obama's push for tougher gun laws. an estimated 70,000 members are attending gun shows and seminars and rallies, and this year's theme is stand and fight. sarah palin and nra executives kicked things off by criticizing the obama administration they say for exploiting victims of gun violence. other well known speakers is glenn beck and rocker, ted nugent. and now live pictures from today's kentucky derby. in the wake of the boston bombing, security is tight. so tight that some people are actually surprised about what they are not allowed to bring in. that's next.

welcome back. today is the kentucky derby, an iconic american tradition that draws big crowds and lots of media coverage, not unlike the boston marathon. so it may not come as a surprise that security is extra tight in louisville today. not everybody is concerned about a terrorists attack. one out of four people said they are less likely to attend a public event due to terrorism, and that's a slight rise from before. and pamela brown joins us from churchill downs. when you talk to people there does it seem like they are concerned about terrorism or not? >> reporter: it's clear that in talking to people here yesterday that what happened in boston a few weeks ago is certainly top of mind, but for the most part people were excited to be here. in fact, it was the second

largest crowd ever at the kentucky oaks race. while people did have concern about something happening, that fear did not hold them back. kentucky derby weekend is about the big hats and mint juleps and, of course, the horse races. and people are thinking about more than just waging their bet. is what happened in boston on your mind today? >> yes, it was on my mind for the fact that it's such a large crowd and you never know what peoples' intentions are. >> me and my buddy we were coming up from chicago and we were both talking today about how are you scared at all about it, and it was on the forefront of his mind and my mind coming in today. >> reporter: security has been tight at the derby since nine

sev -- 9/11. among adjustments, a ban on coolers and large purses, which came as a surprise to some. and 100 additional officers were brought in to conduct more thorough searches on the stated 150,000 spectators poring in. >> i was happy to hear they increased security. it means, you know, less makeup and goodies that we can bring in, but it's worth it to be more comfortable and to know that we're going to all look after each other today. >> reporter: one change had some women racing to the store. >> we had to shop for different sized purses here. >> reporter: i heard department stores had a ruler on the counter. >> every department store you

went in had a ruler on the counter. >> you have noticed a big change? you grew up going to the derby? >> reporter: i have seen some adjustments made as far as security goes. after 9/11 you could tell security was tightened here, and before that you could walk around wherever you wanted to go for the most part and then after 9/11 you had to have a certain colored ticket to go into each section, and now there's a larger presence of authorities at the entrances, and especially where there is a tunnel at the inferenentranc entrance. i have to say the whole purse-size limit sparked a lot of conversation here. women plan outfits months in advance, so that has been -- it threw some people for a loop.

but from what i could tell it cut down on the lines at the entrances, because authorities were not spending as much time having to go through big bags. >> all right. thank you for the update. we all hate haairportly day right? i do. the northwest, there is an airport there where you don't have to wait hardly ever. plus, i will show you what it's like to use google glasses touted as the wave of the future, but don't count on them helping you find a good restaurant.
