officer with the u.s. forest service. those are some of our top stories on this thursday, june 30th. >> from abc news, this is "world news now." good morning. we're going to start with the latest on the istanbul attack. the death toll right now stands at 42 people. most of them turkish. >> nearly 240 others injured. many of them in critical condition. there's yet to be a claim of responsibility. >> officials in turkey and the u.s. continue to blame isis. investigators are using surveillance video to piece together a timeline for how the attack took place. we get more now from abc's marcy gonzalez. >> reporter: turkish authorities revealing new details of how the deadly terror attack unfolded tuesday. three terrorists including this man arriving in a taxi, unable to get through security, they take guns out of their suitcases and start shooting.

>> he was spraying. it was nonstop automatic rifles, for sure. >> reporter: surveillance cameras show the first bomb going off. travelers sent desperately running. >> people were shooting on one side. we all ran the other way. the bombs went off and people started running the other way with more shooting. >> reporter: one of the three attackers chasing people and then taken down shot by a police officer. the killer's gun sliding across the floor. the officer approaches. then runs for cover as the terrorist fumbles then detonates his suicide vest. the third terrorist waiting outside as people ran searching for safety he detonates yet another bomb. >> it was a total chaos, and then we all started to hide. >> reporter: more than 40 people killed including the three terrorists. more than 200 others injured. though no group has claimed responsibility, turkish and u.s. officials suspect isis was behind the attack.

attackers are foreign nationals. again, no identities yet. and no claim of responsibility. again, we heard from the cia director that, in fact, this attack has all the hallmarks of an isis attack. it was a high value target. it hit foreign travelers and damaged a faltering turkish economy and tourism industry. those are goals of isis. isis thinks turkey is too close to the west. and as turkey cracks down on isis networks inside the country, isis wants to destabilize its northern neighbor and yesterday they hit the country where it hurts. >> molly, ataturk security differs from other airports in the region and europe. how so? >> reporter: it does. so we already saw a video of atatu ataturk's security yesterday and this morning. it's already changing.

i can tell you the times that i've been to ataturk, i fly through this all the time. you drive in and walk up to the terminal and there's a first layer of security. you walk through a metal detector before you reach the desk to get your boarding pass. yesterday we saw, already, another layer of security. there's been a check point perimeter. now guards are stopping every car, looking in the trunks of the cars, asking people questions before they get to the terminal. this is all very unlike the brussels airport where we saw the attacks last spring, and it's a safe bet many european airports will be re-evaluating their security after yesterday's attacks. >> that's molly hunter live from us in jerusalem. just in the nick of time, congress approved a rescue passenger for puerto rico. the territory is drowning in debt. $70 billion. they're supposed to make a payment tomorrow of $2 billion. president obama says he'll sign the bill. a sit-in is over for now. the fight over tougher gun control is not. protests were held across the country yesterday, a rallying cry to try to prevent another

measures, one to stop known or suspected terrorists from buying guns. the other to mandate background checks at gun shows and for online sales. >> it's about time we have action. >> reporter: but the house speaker paul ryan has said democrats are staging a publicity stunt and he won't bring those gun bills up for a vote. >> we will not take this or tolerate this. if they want to get a bill to the floor, there's a procedure. they've chosen not to do it. >> reporter: no one is expecting votes right away. house democrats say they're winning the battle as long as gun safety remains part of the conversation here in washington. ali rogan, the white house. now to a security scare at the white house. a man with a gun brazenly walked up to a check point. a 31-year-old was shot by secret service after he ignored their commands to stop. he later told them he came to shoot people and planned to die by suicide by police.
