gunpointgu gun pointed at the door. >> he was playing music. you said he was playing music and taunting. >> yes, sir, he was playing music, making jokes while he was doing it, had like slogans like rhymes -- >> what was he saying? >> every time he would kill someone he would say another one bites the dust. >> oh, boy. you said three kids in the room with you were killed and a young lady -- young woman was injured and you helped her out as well. >> yes, sir. >> you helped wrap her wound. >> yes, sir, she actually got hit in the face and then when that happened she hit her head on the wall and got knocked out and when she woke up she reached and grabbed me and when she grabbed me she grabbed my injury and i was biting my tongue and i looked over and she goes, my face hurts, i don't know what's happening. she was bleeding from her shoulder and her jacket was in her lap and reached over and tied a knot around her shoulder and started tying the jacket around her. >> you say you remember the gunman aiming the gun at you. >> he was -- yes, sir, he was aiming towards the door. >> you didn't realize until afterwards that you had been shot. >> until after the police had

our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl has the latest. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. we're told that robert mueller, the special counsel, has told them he aims to wrap up his investigation by september 1st if he gets an interview with the president. that's a big if and it comes as the president's legal team and the president himself is waging war now with the justice department saying he wants an investigation of the investigation. after weeks of threatening to intervene in the russia probe, president trump gave the order sunday via twitter. i hereby demand, he tweeted, that the department of justice look into whether or not the fbi, doj infiltrated or surveilled the trump campaign for political purposes. and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the obama administration. the president's fury was sparked by a "new york times" report that an fbi informant was sent to talk to two trump campaign

aides in 2016 about their suspicious contacts with russians in the weeks before the election. the fbi will not confirm that it used an informant and there is no evidence that there was an fbi informant embedded within the trump campaign but officials say secret informants would have been critical to assessing the scope of russia's efforts to influence the election. >> the day that we can't protect human sources is the day the american people start becoming less safe. >> reporter: but president trump and congressional republicans are demanding to know names. pressing the fbi to release confidential records. only the release or review of documents, the president tweeted, can give the conclusive answers. top democrat on the house intelligence committee says the president's demands are an abuse of power. >> what they would like this information for is clearly to be of service to the trump defense team and further any narrative they have.

>> reporter: president trump's personal attorney, rudy giuliani, tells abc news the justice department must turn over all documents related to the alleged informant before the president considers whether or not he will give an interview with special counsel robert mueller. in response to the president's demand the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein issued a statement late yesterday saying he has asked the deputy -- that he has asked the inspector general of the justice department to look into the president's concerns. he said in the statement if anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action. but, george, rosenstein is not really ordering a new investigation here. he is simply asking the inspector general to do this as part of an investigation that was already launched last year. it's unclear whether or not that will satisfy the president. >> okay, jon, thanks. more on this from pierre thomas and our chief legal analyst, dan

abrams. let's begin where jon left off and that's with you, pierre. rosenstein acting pretty quickly, this does not completely fulfill the president's and others' debland to turn it over to congress. >> reporter: no, it doesn't but clearly the justice department is saying we will investigate what the president wants us to look into but i got to tell you a lot of current and former law enforcement officials are saying this is pressure by the president who is under investigation, george. >> pretty unprecedented, dan abrams, and there's not any evidence in the public domain that anything inappropriate happened here. >> there is not a scintilla of evidence that this was for political purposes which is the critical question here. and if it had been for political purposes why not disclose it in 2016 when it could have actually hurt donald trump politically for political purposes? the other thing that's interesting to me is, the president is now reading this "new york times" report basing this tweet on "the new york times" report, so this isn't fake news? this one is real? this one is accurate? it just seems that he's getting

very picky about which articles he believes and which ones he doesn't if they fit a particular agenda. >> other major article in "the new york times" yesterday mueller now investigating another donald trump jr. meeting in august of 2016 with emissaries of major arab states. >> this raises the same legal question we talked about before, which is was a foreign national providing something of value in connection with the election or was someone soliciting that information? either one of those would be illegal. i shouldn't say soliciting information but soliciting that thing of value. >> value. >> which is the critical legal question which would be a violation of campaign finance law. >> pierre, meantime, we're hearing from rudy giuliani that he says that robert mueller told him they could wrap this up, the part about the president and the investigation into the president obstructing justice by september 1st if the president agrees to an interview but we're still not there yet on an interview. >> reporter: that's right. look, there is a lot more investigation to take place here. mueller is still aggressively

pursuing whether there was collusion involving members of the trump campaign and the russians and there are all these witnesses who are cooperating with the special counsel including former national security adviser michael flynn and we don't know what they're telling him. >> okay, pierre thomas, dan abrams, thanks very much. robin. this morning the world still buzzing about the royal wedding. more than 29 million watching the history-making ceremony here in the u.s. of the that's more than watched prince william marry catherine and also more than watched prince charles marry diana. abc's adrienne bankert is at kensington palace where the newlyweds will live in a cottage on the grounds. you do have to come home at some point, right, adrienne? >> i'm having too much fun. you know what it's like, robin. good morning. you know, we got to tell you prince harry and now duke and duchess of sussex along with meghan markle are back here at kensington as of last night. everyone still talking about

duchess of cambridge absolutely covered in lace. so she could have gone that direction but wouldn't have been in keeping with the meghan markle that people have come to know and i love that she and clare waight keller designed something so different. >> and kept it under wraps for so long. >> completely. total surprise and by the way, the fact that stella mccartney did the evening dress meant that in one day meghan markle was using -- the duchess of sussex, excuse me, was using her new platform to support two really important british designers. >> did a wonderful job with that. also, walking partway up the aisle on her own. >> yeah. >> sent a strong message. >> we all know that happened not completely intentionally, right? that her father was supposed to do it and i was among many who thought, well, maybe the first part of the aisle walk will be her mother walking her down the aisle which would have been so profound. i think the fear was it could seem like a sad moment. instead it was so powerful and, listen, this is a 36-year-old woman. she's had her own life, her own career and i think watching her come down the first part of that aisle by herself felt like such

a self-assured and confident statement. i know what i'm doing. i am choosing this marriage completely intentionally. >> i'm glad that they chose bishop curry, oh, my goodness. >> oh, yes. >> oh. he took us to church. >> i got to applaud him. >> amen. we wanted to have him on the program but he's just so overwhelmed. he's back in chicago. so overwhelmed with the response. why do you think it resonated with so many people? >> they're calling him the pippa middleton of the wedding. she was the breakout of the 2011 wedding. he was so passionate. he was so american. he was so loose and natural. he talked for 14 minutes and he also managed to weave in so many beautiful aspects of african-american culture which i think was a beautiful way of both harry and meghan saying that that part of her identity as a biracial american woman is important. i mean he's quoting martin luther king jr., he referenced spirituals. one of my favorite tweets said the reverend is going 50 in a 30 zone because this is an incredibly traditional place and i thought those were really moving touches. >> it was so welcoming.

you know. >> it was so inclusive. absolutely. and, you know, he also talked a lot about love and referenced -- used the word love 65 times. >> how powerful it is. >> not by accident. that is clearly the message that this couple wants to put out into the world. that this is a warm and approachable monarchy. >> okay, thank you for sharing your message. always great to see you, cindi. >> thank you very much. >> george? so many beautiful moments including the kingdom choir, so magnificent at the wedding and we'll hear from them live later in the show. right now we want to check in with the founder and director karen gibson still in london this morning. karen, i see that big smile. you just got to tell me what was it like to sing for a billion people all around the world? >> okay, so i've got to be honest and say that we were not thinking about the billion people all around the world. i think at that point we didn't know that so many people were

tuning in. we were more focused on the couple. we wanted to make the couple happy and we wanted to give them with what we had to offer and we just wanted to do a really good job. >> you did such a good job and tell us then how you came to the choice of those songs for the couple. >> we actually again we didn't come to that choice. that was the couple's choice of songs "stand by me" and "amen" and "this little light". >> do you know what it meant to them? >> no, they never said but you can kind of get, you know, an idea of what "stand by me" might be about, even though it actually comes from a spiritual region, influenced by a spiritual but in that context it's about, you know, staying together, standing together, loving together, loving unconditionally no matter what. >> you are the founder of the kingdom choir. tell us how this performance advanced your mission. >> oh.

good morning, it's 8:28. one person has died after a crash involving a tesla model s. the driver crashed through a fence and into a pond off crow canyon road in castro valley last night. makes tell abc7 news people often speed down that road. the wrecked tesla was towed to san leandro, chp is trying to figure out what led to the crash. the bay bridge toll plaza still has the metering lights, and we still have our typical volume as you head back into the maze. you have a 20-minute delay on the pittsburgh bay point line. check out all the sunshine, even at the bay bridge toll plaza, it was so great most of the day yesterday, everything is

good with the commute, unless you're out ♪ royals royals welcome back to "gma." the world was watching this weekend as the now duchess of sussex, meghan markle, married prince harry and we have been talking about those two incredible gowns she wore. here to show us how you can steal her style the guy you know from tlc's "say yes to the dress" dress expert randy fenoli. you know obviously so many brides-to-be will be inspired by what meghan wore. were you surprised by either of her choices. >> i was blown away. i really thought she would have some embellish many and for a royal you're kind of expected to have lace on the dress. so, yeah, i did not expect her to go so understated. >> yeah, i was surprised as well. let's talk about meghan's first look. it was classic, it was elegant. givenchy, tell us about the dress. >> yeah, givenchy, it was half a

million dollars is what it was estimated. >> whoo. >> i don't know where they got that figure. beautiful, kind of a modified sabrina or bateau neckline. it was off the structurhoulder. silk, almost crepe. people would go towards a crepe dress. >> you have re-created this look for a lot less so let's bring out -- >> a lot less. >> -- our first model. tell us -- wow, that actually looks very similar. >> yeah. [ applause ] so, this gown is by mikayla and i think when you're trying to re-create her look what you want to think about is just going really, really understated, no embellishments, you know, this neckline is really beautiful because a wider neckline is always going to make your waist look smaller. this is also a silk crepe and then about a statement headpiece. >> that's beautiful. that tiara. >> because you have to have something that is going to draw the attention to the bride and i

love that because it draws your attention to her face. >> yeah, it's beautiful. i love the covered buttons along the back too. a nice little tailored detail there. beautiful. all right, so let's talk about -- [ applause ] -- the next dress. this was my favorite dress that meghan wore. the sophisticated reception dress. that halter look by stella mccartney. tell us about what she wore. >> okay, so, stella wore -- sorry, meghan wore stella mccartney as you said, it was a halter. it was also a crepe, once again, completely unadorned. i thought since she went, you know, with such a simple dress for the ceremony she was going to bring out the beads for her second dress but she didn't. >> i love the cut of it. very stunning and does have the shoulders to carry it off. >> that's the thing. if you wear a halter you need to have a long neck, strong shoulders and not a fuller bust. if you have a fuller bust it's just going to widen you out. not a pretty look. >> she wore it very well and you have re-created the look for a lot less as well so tell us about our next model. [ applause ]

>> so this dress -- the model's name is negligent which is great and has a nice low back and once again to wear a dress like this you'll need to have, you know, a longer neck and really strong shoulders and you can't be too fuller busted because that angle is just going to really emphasize that. >> meghan really does look a lot like meghan markle. >> i know. i was walking by hair and makeup and i thought she was sitting there. >> is that the duchess? it's fantastic and then, of course, no wedding is complete -- this is probably my favorite part -- without the flower girls. >> come on out, girls. >> look how sweet. tell us about their dresses. these are gorgeous. >> yeah, well, kleinfeld now carries bridesmaids and flower girl dresses so these came from kleinfeld bridal. >> what is your overall suggestion to anyone who is debating what dress to wear, what's right for them. how do you choose whether to go

simple, to have the embelli embellishment. >> think about your story. when i say that who are you? do you wear really understated clothes in your daytime look or do you like lots of prints and embellishments. you need to be yourself on your wedding day and also take in the venue. you're getting married on the beach you don't want to wear crystal studded heavy satin ball gown. the venue and time of the year and about your tile. >> the cool thing you said about that, what people can take away from meghan, it was her style. she did what she wanted to do. she wore how she dresses normally and that's why she pulled it off. >> she was making a statement with this dress, i think. she really was. i think it was a good statement. >> we certainly appreciate it. >> randy, thanks for being with us. you can find these gorgeous flower girl dresses at kleinfeld's bridalparty.com. coming up next here, chocolate covered bananas, jason bateman and alia shawkat, it can
