. >> we're learning new details about the 25-year-old man who went on a shooting rampage in tennessee last week killing four marines and a naval officer. >> according to a source close to the investigation, mohammad youssuf abdulazeez's family told investigators he has a history of mental illness, depression and drug abuse. they sent him to jordin on the get him away from the tennessee friends they thought were bad influences. >> this man appears by all accounts is suffering from a lot of demons so to speak, drug problems issues with keeping a job. issues with just basically performing everyday life functions and they've told investigators, the family has told investigators his history with him and his drug abuse and what was going on in his life
11:02 pm
leading up to the shooting. and now, they are going over that the investigators, you know what role that may have played in the shooting. it doesn't necessarily maybe give authorities, you know any motive but it does sort of help them paint a picture of what was going on in his mind for quite some time now and where he was mentally what he was feeling, what was going on in his life. i mean none of this is really going to explain right now why he did this. and again, you know most people feel -- most of the investigators certainly, the family now looking back now feels maybe something did happen along the way that did radicalize him but they have not seen anything. >> another angle to all of this is abdulazeez's trip to jordan last year. it's a major part of the
11:03 pm
investigation. jordanian officials have interviewed his family there. his friends noticed differences when he returned to tennessee. >> investigators are looking at a text message that abdulazeez sent to a friend that read in part whoever shows emanity to a friend of mine i have declared war against him. that was sent hours before abdulazeez opened fire at two military offices. meantime people have been paying their respects to a memorial that just keeps growing and key paying their respects at churches all over the city. >> the shooter, mohammad youssuf abdulazeez was a victim as well. and the reason he was a victim is because he was a victim of hate. a victim of hate.
11:04 pm
and that may be the worst kind of victim you can possibly be. >> days of grief there. >> indeed. also a parade of bikers as you see here paid tribute to the five men killed. borris sanchez has more including how one man's family is trying to cope. >> reporter: an emotional time here in chattanooga, the body of randall smith passed through here on sunday in front of supporters waving flags and offering condolences to the families of those affected. randall's mother was on hand here visibly emotional and overwhelmed when she saw a picture of her son in the memorial behind me. her name is paula. she is overwhelmed by the showing of support in chattanooga but she became distraught when i asked how the family was holding up. we are also hearing from the family of the shooter for the first time.
11:05 pm
mohammad youssuf abdulazeez's family putting out a statement offering sympathy's and condolences to the families affected and they say there are no words to describe our shock, horror and grief, the person who committed this horrible crime was not son we knew and loved. for many years our son suffered from depression. it grieves us beyond belief to know that his pain found its expression in this heinous act of violence. many are wondering if this is more than a jihadist mentality that led to the shooting but a mental illness that led to the shooting. another an system the impact of his actions that are stretching to the west bank where he has family. >> they are suffering the shame of what he did in the u.s. our nick paton walsh has more. >> reporter: with the tennessee gunman's family began in the
11:06 pm
hills of the west bank the men of this tiny village now scrutinize his end. they hear words of comfort. a gathering because the death of mohammad youssuf abdulazeez has left his father without a male heir and without honor. >> "t" emotions on display here have little to do with the loss of abdulazeez. they are showing solidarity for his father who is suffering the shame on the other side of the atlantic. most of the voices are stunned and angry at mohammad but one local, not a relative speaks out. >> i think what he did is an angry reaction to the regime that is ruling the west and america in general but it's this was a rare voice. his father's cousin want
11:07 pm
americans grieving their loss to know their horror here too. >> all the people who are talking with me are feeling very angry and very sad about this behavior. all of them say, youssuf was a good man. he -- >> it's okay. >> youssuf, as a man must have a good son. >> reporter: this village has had martyrs fighting the israelis whose posters adorned the street but this won't happen to mohammad who had everything but blew it. >> he had higher education. he had passport. can work. he can live where he want in all the world because of the usa
11:08 pm
passport. but this choice -- all of us can't know why? why he do that? >> reporter: mohammad came here once in 2005 age 15 for a week with his father to get his palestinian i.d. we're told by his father's other cousin. he looked like an american kid, he said didn't speak arabic. if he played with other kids it wasn't that casual as he was really focused here with his father to get his palestinian i.d. they were here during the uprising and you could be worried for lots of reasons not just the israeli army on the street and people being shot but also being outside playing, the sort of friends you could make. ten years later, the road to radicalization has changed so much, he says. it's not religion but the technological revolution of the internet that's created this.
11:09 pm
before people were looked over but now a father cannot monitor what their son's doing on the internet. one visit at a formative age to a village that barely remembers the tennessee gunman but now deals with the infamy and suffering his twisted choice wrought upon his family too. nick paton walsh, cnn. and to greece now where the banks are back in business. now they reopened their doors a little more than an hour ago. you are seeing live pictures right now. banks were shut down for three weeks in a move at staving off a collapse of the financial system. journalist elinda labropoulou joins us now with more. from the pictures we are looking at there there doesn't seem to be a sense of panic. how has the reopening of the banks been greeted in greece? >> reporter: it's a positive thing because the banks were
11:10 pm
closed for three weeks. we were outside this bank three weeks ago and the queues were forming back then as people were starting to panic and not knowing what's going to happen next. so the idea of the banks reopening although not many of the terms are changing. the capital controls are here to stay. but some of the services are starting to resume and with it a sense of stability which is really what the greek people needed more than anything else. during this time we have had a referendum the country has pushed close to a grexit an exit from the eurozone. and lot of political questions have risen as well. and this whole issue of political stability as well. so now people are responding to this as a positive a sign -- a first step towards some kind of recovery paula. >> a first step a tentative step. and we are not seeing a sense of panic in front of the banks and
11:11 pm
it might lend a sense of confidence but everyone there realizes it the austerity ahead of them. how is everyone in greece after everything they have been through, is there rage or have we gone to resignation now? >> reporter: it's a combination of a lot of things because it's a very complex situation. we are now looking at a third bailout for greece. this is a situation that has gone financeon for five years. their income has decreased. they have lost a quotearter of their overall quality of life. they feel the measures are too harsh but the majority seem to believe that a bad deal which is what they believe they got is better than a no deal. the latest poll over the weekend
11:12 pm
showed that 70% of greeks are still very positive and certain that they want to stay in the eurozone and the same percentage said that they are willing to do what it takes to do just that. but of course until we get to that point of stability and some kind of development for the country, the greeks are fully aware there are very hard time ahead. >> and extraordinary. when you look a little while ago when they had that referendum rejecting those same austerity proposals. in terms of what comes ahead, how much impetus is there to say that look we still have to stand by for that kind of a deal or this economy -- -- >> reporter: dead relief has been at the core of the negotiations between greece and its creditors and the first signs from the international
11:13 pm
monetary fund and the european central bank and from mrs. merkel herself saying there is a possibility that if these measures are voted in they are endorsed and they started to become implemented and the first positive assessment there could be a room for debt relief. this has gone down very well with the greeks. it is really the only thing that gives them some hope at the end of the tunnel rather than just following the austerity and recession cycle they have been in. they are hoping if these measures are implemented properly and followed through for a while there will be some kind of reward at the end of that. >> more tough times to come at the greek banks, thanks. u.s. secretary of defense ash carter is in israel the first stop on his trip through the middle east. >> he says his trip comes at an important moment because of the iran nuclear deal.
11:14 pm
>> this trip was planned before the nuclear deal with iran was reached last week but the defense secretary telling reporters that of course during his talks with israel and other countries over the course of his trip of course the nuclear agreement will come up in conversation and he defended the deal saying that it will remove a critical element of danger and threat from the region. during his trip he will have a meeting with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he's been one of the fiercest critics of the deal. here's what he had to say today. >> translator: if anyone thought that the sweeping concessions for iran would bring about a change in its policy they have received a decisive answer over the weekend in the aggressive and provocative speak of the ruler khamenei. they will use the hundreds of millions of dollars to arm their terror machine and continue their fight against the united
11:15 pm
states and its allies headed by israel. >> carter says he is expected to reinforce the shared security challenges that the u.s. and israel have and what the administration can do to bolster the cooperation on the threats in the region. the defense secretary won't be offering to pour billions of dollars of american-made missiles and aircraft into the region. but secretary of state john kerry she kerry appeared on all five sunday shows this weekend saying that the real fear of the region should be that you don't have a deal. it's been more than 50 years since cuba or the united states had embassies in each other's country but that has all changed. we'll bring you new details on this historic moment after this short break. an amazing escape from a shark. it happened on live tv. what a world champion surfer did
