learning much more about that shooter and his troubled and very confusing past. we're also hearing the extraordinary stories of heroism from inside that theater. in just a moment, we're going to talk to a woman who was right there in the back row, when the shooting started. she crawled her way to safety. but we begin with tom llamas who's in lafayette. a minute by minute account of the chaos. tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: paula, good morning. people inside the theater where this happened just behind me, describe an empty movie house filled with abandoned shoes, purses, popcorn and bullet holes. police say the gunman fired off ten rounds in less than a minute as people scrambled out of the theater. overnight, a closer look and more details of the chilling moments this multiplex in lafayette, louisiana, became the scene of a mass shooting. friends of those who died now realizing what's lost. >> it's tough.

>> reporter: thursday, 25 people seated for a screening of "trainwreck." including jonas and his friend, whose seat choice they said made all the difference. >> it could have been much different if we were in the back row when the shots were fired. >> reporter: because in that same multiplex was john russell houser, sitting alone. entering the theater like everyone else. until 20 minutes into the movie, the 59-year-old fires a .40-caliber handgun to the women in front of him. causing confusion and chaos. >> we thought it was the movie. but then, once we realized that this is real, this guy is shooting everyone in the theater. he was so close to us. >> reporter: houser firing at least 13 rounds, killing 2 and injuring 9 others. >> everyone was just running down the stairs, freaking out, climbing over chairs and people. >> reporter: but moviegoers jumping into action, helping one another escape safely, even forming a makeshift triage outside the theater.

and there more heroes stepping up. two teachers seated in that same theater, jena using her body as a shield to protect her friend and co-worker ali, taking a bullet for her. freeing ali to pull the fire alarm. overnight, both women now released from the hospital. >> that's how we react to situations. we are very protective individuals, and i'm very proud of them. >> reporter: now, a community in mourning. a memorial growing outside the store victim jillian johnson owned. the 33-year-old, an entrepreneur and a musician. johnson's family celebrating her life, posting this photo on instagram, and mayci breaux, the 21-year-old student, remembered in a prayer service on friday. governor bobby jindal touring the grisly crime scene. remembering the two lives lost. and those injured in the shooting. >> we're going to get through

latest mass shooting. a 59-year-old drifter with a violent past. so, the question this morning, how did he get that gun he used to kill two and injure so many more? >> the weapon was purchased at a pawnshop in phenix, alabama, in february of 2014. >> reporter: purchased legally police say, even though -- >> in '06, mr. houser applied for a concealed carry permit. that permit was denied. >> reporter: before his name made national headlines, john russell houser earned a law degree in alabama. he was politically active, even running for office as an ultraconservative in georgia. expressing controversial views in online forums. one post reading, america is so sick that i now believe it will be the enemy of the world. in 2001 he placed a swastik

outside the bar he owned. he denied that he was a nazi sympathizer. the drifter spent the last few weeks living at this motel 6 in lafayette. what detectives discovered in his room only deepens the mystery. >> we found wigs and glasses and disguises basically in his room. >> reporter: but there's no disguising houser's troubled past. his last known address was here in alabama, where he was evicted last year after the owner say he booby-trapped the fireplace by tampering with the gas line and trashing their house. >> i didn't want him to hurt us. >> reporter: his marriage fell apart, too. in 2008, his wife and family asked for a protective order, saying houser exhibited extreme erratic behavior, including various acts of family violence. the court filing said he had manic depression and/or bipolar disorder. his wife so worried, she removed all guns from their home. houser's brother speaking exclusively to our atlanta affiliate, wsb.

>> we're just trying to get our arms around this whole situation right now. >> reporter: while investigators search for a motive, the police of lafayette have a more basic question -- why was the gunman here? why were they targeted? this morning, investigators cannot find any clear connection between the killer and this community. paula? >> those new details continuing to emerge, ryan, we want to thank you for that reporting. and we want to turn now to 21-year-old emily mann. emily, joining us from lafayette, emily, you were sitting in the same row as that shooter, 20 minutes in, you initially thought you were hearing fireworks, when did you know that there was a gunman loose in the theater? >> well, after the first shot, there was about a second or two, and then you could hear the remaining shots begin, two, three, four, five, pretty quickly. at that point, i looked back to make sure you're hearing the right thing. that's when you see the lights coming out of the gun.

and you understand at that point this is happening, this is real, this is what it is. you have to react. >> and how did you react, that gunman was so methodical, he was taking aim at those closest to him? you were in the same row, how did manage to escape, emily? >> there were a few girls in between him and i. so, to my left, there was a seat and then a couple of girls. and then he was seated as close in the theater as he could have been, and he initially started shooting down, so i had a little bit of time, unfortunately, at that point, i got down, it's your natural instinct, you see him standing, so he had this aerial view of the theater, and i got down, at that point, i couldn't see anymore. you just have to have faith that you can get out of there. >> emily, can you give us a sense of what the gunman's demeanor was like? >> i could see him standing and he was wearing a hat, dark clothes and just from that, you

know there's something ominous happening. so, at that point, he seemed sure, but anyone with a gun would seem sure when you're in a room with those who don't have them. >> was there ever a moment that you made contact with the shooter or a moment that you thought you had been shot? >> no, i think, at that point i was crawling down, you can't see, there's a fear in that, there's always a fear in what you can't see. you hear the shots, you know they're coming. and you're just kind of waiting for it a little bit. >> you said the theater was packed. what was that scene like of everyone trying to get out of the theater in just a matter of moments, was it chaotic? >> as chaotic as that situation can be. there was an understanding amongst everyone there, we were in this situation together. that's the community here. so, as chaotic and as loud as the screaming, it was all to

warn each other and to help each other. >> emily, i got to ask you, how lucky do you feel to be alive this morning? >> as lucky as i feel to be alive here, i feel even luckier to live here in community. i was born here, grown up here, and i think we all feel lucky, we feel lucky to have the opportunity to learn from this and to overcome it. >> your community is so resilient. you guys are really coming together at a time of tragedy. emily, we want to thank you for joining us this morning on "good morning america." >> thank you very much. >> she said that this sort of thing doesn't happen in lafayette, louisiana, which was voted one of the happiest places on earth. great to see the community coming together. >> i think we're all tired of hearing of mass shootings. we're going to move now on to another developing story this morning, the out-of-control wildfires in the american west, more than a dozen of them doing real damage right now in six states, forcing evacuations,

ruining vacations and threatening california's famous wine country. here's abc's kayna whitworth. >> reporter: overnight, new images of more than a dozen roaring wildfires rapidly ravaging the west. two of them in the golden state of california, another fast-moving brush fire breaking out near lake tahoe. >> we still have evacuations in place. >> reporter: with extra dry combustible fuels everywhere, 14 large fires have ripped through 6 western states, where nearly five times the amount of land has been scorched compared to this time last year. the flames growing quickly and in extremely close range to some area homes, nearby napa valley residents being warned to evacuate. >> i got a text this morning from one that said that it got 40 feet from his house. >> reporter: and in the big sky country state of montana, this is the busiest month of the year for glacier national park. vacationers are scrambling to change plans and avoid the reynolds creek fire. with the flames nearly lyly 300 feet
