they were guided, and the trust our kids had in their teachers, that says volumes for our staff here in uvalde. they are heroes. >> reporter: you know, i just can't get that image out of my mind, those parents who were also the unsung heros, parents running right towards the gunshots. they were smashing windows, physically pulling children out of those classrooms. it's so gut wrenching to imagine that panic and the heroism at the same time. robin? >> so chilling. amy, thank you for bringing us that. that close-knit community mourns. we are learning new details about the 19 children and 2 teachers who were murdered. mireya villarreal is in uvalde with more on that. good morning, mireya. >> reporter: robin, overnight i spoke with several of the families that lost their children. they're still in a complete state of shock. the local funeral homes said

they'll take care of the funeral services for these victims for free. as i was talking to one of these mothers last night, she said i'm completely devastated. i don't know what to do. how am i supposed to plan a funeral for a 10-year-old? the small community of uvalde shattered by tragedy but determined to pick up the pieces honoring the lives taken from families too soon. this morning, we're learning more about those innocent souls lost. 10-year-old jayce luevanos and 11-year-old jailah nicole silguero cousins and their family also losing their grandfather earlier this month. they were loving baby angels, always had a smile on their face just full of life. i can't believe this happened to our angels. the grandmother of victim alithia ramirez telling our amy robach what the days ahead may bring. >> i am here to help my son

care at hospital ns in san antonio. originally six were taken there. as of right now only one is in serious condition. a bit of good news this morning. guys? >> we'll take all the good news we can get, mireya. thanks very much. the investigation turned to the shooter's social media. new details on possible missed warning signs in the lead-up to the attack. our chief national correspondent matt gutman is on the scene with more on that. good morning, matt. >> reporter: michael, good morning. officials are loaning -- learning so many of the hallmarks of a lone wolf-style attack were there. the suspect apparently threatening peers, stalking girls online, allegedly abusing animals and posting it on social media, skipping school. this is in a community that had systems and measures in place to try to stop that. last night i sat down with the gunman's mother who told me that

even she had some uneasy feelings about her son. overnight the mother of the gunman telling abc news she had uneasy feelings sometimes about her son saying, he can be aggressive if he got really mad. the communications between the gunman and a 15-year-old girl in germany now raising questions about missed warning signs. abc news reviewing a string of text messages through facebook salvador ramos allegedly sent the teen he met online detailing he shot his grandmother and was heading to a school for his next target. >> the first post was to the point of he said, i'm going to shoot my grandmother. the second post was, i shot my grandmother. the third post was, i'm going to shoot an elementary school. >> reporter: meta, the parent company of facebook, telling abc news the messages were one-to-one text messages and

were not public. the two met on yubo, a live streaming social media a wpp wi 60 million users. allegedly posting videos of him abusing animals on the app. law enforcement says they are investigating the account but right now can't say if it's him. >> reportedly there has been no criminal history identified yet. he may have had a juvenile record but that is yet to be determined. there was no known mental health history of the gunman. >> reporter: but on may 17th one day after turning 18, the gunman legally purchasing an ar-style rifle at the oasis outback gun store with a credit card. the next day purchasing 375 rounds of ammunition for the rifle before buying another ar-style rifle on may 20th. those weapons used in his rampage at robb elementary school. the shooter's grandfather telling me he had no idea his grandson who stopped going to school had built up that small arsenal. >> i didn't know he had weapons or nothing or this or that there. if i would have known, i would have reported it. >> you would have reported your own grandson? >> yes. >> reporter: investigators tell

me this is a sprawling investigation. they still have hundreds of interviews left to conduct. right now one of the things they're focusing on is when this attack was planned. what precipitated it, how this accused gunman gained such proficiency in the use of those firearms and who might have known about it and might have been able to put an end to it. george? >> matt gutman, thanks. the president and first lady are headed there in a couple of days after the president called for action on gun control. republican lawmakers continue to block legislation right now. congressional correspondent rachel scott is on capitol hill. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning. gun control legislation has been stalled on capitol hill for nearly 30 years. the majority of americans want some kind of action. the president is calling on lawmakers to have a backbone but many republicans are not budging. this morning, with president biden pleading for action -- >> the idea that an 18-year-old

can walk into a store and buy weapons of war designed and marketed to kill is, i think, just wrong. just violates common sense. >> reporter: texas governor greg abbott insists guns were not the problem in the uvalde mass shooting. >> i asked the sheriff and others an open-ended question. the question was, what is the problem here? and they were straightforward and emphatic. they said we have a mental -- we have a problem with mental health illness in this community. >> reporter: interrupting abbott's press conference former democratic congressman beto o'rourke running for governor himself. >> you are doing nothing. >> reporter: o'rourke escorted out. >> this is on you until you choose to do something different. >> reporter: texas recently loosening restrictions on purchasing and carrying guns. democrats in washington calling for federal reform. >> we've had school shootings this year, dozens of them.

what does it take? >> reporter: getting republicans on board will be an uphill challenge. >> can you assure the american people that this time something will get done? >> i can't assure the american people there's any law we can pass to stop this shooting. >> reporter: polls show americans support change. 86% support red flag laws. 89% support background check. we asked republicans what they would back. >> do you support expanded background checks? the majority of americans support background checks. do you support it? >> reporter: senate democrats can change the rules to change legislation without republicans, but some say that's a nonstarter. >> do you support changing the senate filibuster -- >> sorry, guys. she's in and out. >> reporter: 19 children are dead. >> thanks so much. >> can you give us a comment about it? >> reporter: in a few hours senate republicans are expected

to block a bill targeting domestic terrorism after the shooting in buffalo. back in texas, governor greg abbott is expected to speak at the nra convention tomorrow along with former president donald trump. george? >> maybe something will come of these negotiations. rachel scott, thanks very much. robin? as we heard we're learning more about the shooter's texts and posts on social media raising questions about flagging the warning signs that someone might be preparing to harm others. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas has more on that. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: robin, good morning. so what is the responsibility of social media companies? the companies have said they need to protect the privacy of their users and their right to free speech. so it's becoming clear in a lot of cases they were not monitoring users, especially private messages and chat groups and do the companies really have the technology to responsibly monitor millions of social media posts? law enforcement will monitor public forums known to promote hate or extremism but to dig deeper they often need a tip and evidence to get a warrant. >> pierre, in this case, in this case law enforcement is looking at that social media company yubo?

>> reporter: that's right. yubo is prominently known for live streaming making it difficult for officials to track. the app is also not typically on law enforcement's radar because some say it's primarily a dating app for teenagers. in this case were any of the suspect's posts alone enough to notify law enforcement and stop him from buying two assault rifles? the texas governor says there were no flashing lights and the only messages indicating imminent danger were those sent 30 minutes before the attack. meta, parent company for facebook, says those were private person-to-person messages, essentially they were not in a public forum so there was no time to react and no one was connecting the dots. >> all right, pierre, we thank you. we'll have much more, of course, on uvalde coming up. first to ginger. >> and i'm walking right in. i was just listening to pierre. i have to tell you about what's happened here. o'hare, we're just kicking off what will be one of the busy travel weekends. chicago had dozens of their flights canceled and you can see why. 75 severe storm reports from

wisconsin down to florida. that was rotating. that was a time lapse. you were able to see that rotating cloud trying to do something, but then from jackson, mississippi down to pensacola, you had damaging winds taking out trees and power for a time. today we have that chance again. there are two areas that i want you to focus in on from cleveland to lexington. atlanta in it today so that could impact flights especially today on the biggest travel day, makes it up to ash eville too. heavy rain will come with this too. on the roads, flash flooding is a possibility which a lot of people will hit the roads. tomorrow, much more where that came from. philadelphia, richmond, this area here in the mid-atlantic has a shot at seeing some even tornadic stuff going into the weekend. that's the big picture. let's get a check now a little closer to home.

meanwhile in colorado earlier this week a foot and a half of snow. i didn't get a ski in this season. i feel like you're telling me there's a chance. >> there's always a chance. >> memorial day skiing. more coming up here on "gma," including the latest on the johnny depp/amber heard trial, and dan abrams is here to

alternative to beat the shortages and those soaring prices. george? now the dramatic testimony in the johnny depp defamation trial. depp did take the stand again called abuse allegations from exwife amber heard insane. he also got a big boost from his exgirlfriend kate moss. trevor ault has the latest. good morning, trevor. >> good morning, george. in text messages that were revealed in court on wednesday, johnny depp said back in 2016, that amber heard was begging fo going to get it. this has been a very ugly fight going back long before the trial and yesterday another superstar took the stand. >> how do you know mr. depp? >> i had a relationship with him. >> reporter: that's supermodel kate moss testifying remotely wednesday on behalf of her ex-boyfriend johnny depp. >> did mr. depp push you in any way down the stairs? >> no. >> reporter: moss was called to address a rumor depp pushed her down a set of stairs when they were dating in the '90s, a rumor amber heard referenced on the stand earlier this month.

>> i just in my head instantly think of kate moss and the stairs and i swung at him. >> reporter: moss instead described a fall she took during a trip with depp to jamaica. >> we were leaving the room and johnny left the room before i did and there had been a rainstorm, and as i left the room, i slid down the stairs and i hurt my back and he came running back to help me. >> reporter: depp then taking the stand for a second time. >> ms. heard took the story and turned it into a very ugly incident. >> reporter: during the trial heard has accused depp of several instances of domestic and emotional abuse.

on wednesday her attorneys reading texts depp sent after the pair divorced. wanting to get heard removed from the "aquaman" movie and other messages sent from his phone to a former assistant using vulgar terms to refer to women's bodies saying, i need, i want, i take. depp denied sending that message or ever abusing amber heard. >> it's insane to hear heinous accusations of violence. >> now a source close to amber heard calls depp's testimony a performance and said if he had been this good the last few years, he would have gotten those roles he lost. the trial resumes today with closing arguments scheduled tomorrow. george? >> all trash talk. okay, trevor, thanks very much. chief legal analyst dan abrams here. depp decided to take the stand

after all. >> remember, initially it was amber heard's team who claimed they were going to call him. i didn't believe that. he's now called by his own team. i don't know exactly why. remember, his legal team was very effective in cross-examining amber heard. you would think they would sort of want to leave it at that. it feels to me like johnny depp almost insisted to his legal team,i want to get back up there on the stand. there are a few more things i need to say. he takes a few more shots at amber heard but also faced cross-examination again where there were more inconsistencies in his story. i'm not sure why he wanted to take the stand so bad. >> do you think he's looking beyond the jury and looking to the public? >> absolutely. 100%. i think that's the whole point of this from johnny depp's perspective. >> how about kate moss, her testimony? how important? >> helpful to his case. i wouldn't say critical. remember, there was that one moment where amber heard referred to an incident where she was talking about johnny depp, she said, attacking her and she was thinking about that moment, remembering about kate moss and getting pushed down the stairs. kate moss testifies and says, there was no such incident. helpful for johnny depp but not critical. >> you say critical.

tomorrow's closing arguments, that could be critical. >> absolutely. here's why -- because it allows each side to cut through the noise, right? all these allegations back and forth, et cetera. tomorrow the lawyers get to focus on the real issues for the jury and i think from johnny depp's perspective -- george, you asked me earlier in the week what can johnny depp do at this point? here's what he can do. he can focus on a line in the headline of "the washington post" article that refers to sexual violence and say, that's the focus here. there was no sexual violence even though she says that there was. there's a big legal argument right now about whether she wrote the headline, or didn't write the headline. should she be responsible for the headline, et cetera? that's the sort of detail that i think you may see in the legal arguments, in the closing arguments as to what the legal standard is. >> if they're in the weeds, he loses, right? >> probably, but -- probably, but there is that one line we'll see have to see what happens with that particular phrase. >> we will find out soon.

close as possible to our respective airports in new first up, turo, being delivered to me, but -- just a message the car delivery is going to be about 40 minutes late. the car i booked, a mercedes at $183. for comparison the least expensive traditional rental i could find is almost the same price at $182. it's a chevy spark which is the basic economy option. okay, the delivery was late, but the driver was super communicative and couldn't have been nicer. plus, this car is sweet. my producer sara had an easy on time delivery from turo in newark. >> the car is clean. it looks great. >> reporter: with getaround it was more complicated. sarah's car was supposed to be at the airport in a parking garage. on the day of the rental they informed her it was nearly 40 minutes away. getaround offered her a full refund so we tried it again on a different day. while the car was where it was supposed to be, it was dirty and had a tire pressure warning when

she started it. for me trying getaround in san francisco there were no airport options. so i take an uber to the car. estimated cost, about 25 bucks. getaround cars unlock remotely. hey, it did it. a lot of air freshener going on. when you're renting from a private person there's a lot of uncertainty. you do have a risk of getting to your car and not meeting standards of cleanliness. >> reporter: but the getaround car drove well and brakes are very good. feels like brand-new brakes. getaround tells us we have policies in place regarding car cleanliness and provide guidelines to hosts. we will continue to work with our hosts to ensure guests find and book affordable, convenient and safe cars and turo says it is rare that a host will perform below our expectations for quality and timeliness. a big part of the story is price. the available turo was the same as a standard rental car. getaround was cheaper.

for my producer the peer-to-peer options were roughly $50 to $60 less expensive than standard rentals but turo for her came in at the lowest price. prices vary wildly based on location and timing. robin, another thing to consider is insurance. we talked to an insurance agent who said you really want to figure out -- know before you go. call your own insurance agent or you have to pay more for the expensive coverage option. >> got to keep that in mind. we got more from becky coming up. >> becky is not going anywhere. she's coming back. she will tell us about the new trend in shopping combining the online and in-person experiences and will show us how it all works. we'll be right back. back.

and even rhythmic movements. the hope is these movements associated with 10 to 30 minutes of exercise is enough to start getting your body to release endorphins, those neurotransmitters or brain hormones that make you feel good associated with euphoria can relieve stress and reduce your pain. >> what other ways outside of beyond exercise can you do that? >> so there are some other ways. exercise is the number one way but other ways include things like acupuncture, meditation, laughter, watching a funny video, even listening to music and dancing. >> okay, so how much movement do you recommend a day? what's the sweet spot? >> so that sweet spot is anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes. the goal, do that daily. if you can't at least three times a week. when you do that your body releases more than just endorphins. there are other neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine associated with

motivation and our reward pathway and can help our brain retain long-term memory and deter the early onset signs of dementia. i advise this to all my patients including myself movement and exercise isn't just for right now but also increasing your quality of life as you get older. >> that's how i'm trying to look at it now. get up and move. get out of this seat. dr. sutton, thank you as always. robin. we'll turn to our royal countdown. we are just a week away from queen elizabeth's spectacular platinum jubilee celebrating her 70 years on the throne. i wanted to share a memory i'm so grateful for meeting her majesty at the white house. ♪ it was may 7, 2007, a celebration for our nation's oldest ally, 7,000 guests gathering on the white house lawn to officially welcome her majesty, queen elizabeth ii and husband prince philip. >> mr. president, thank you for inviting prince philip and me to visit your country and to have this opportunity to underline

flavor profile and we're going to let it brown on all sides and, again, this is super easy to swap. we're just going to let it brown for a few minutes. >> this is what we get. >> this is what we get. >> put it in here? >> you're already jumping the gun, george. then i'll have you add the garlic and the broccoli rabe. this will sizzle the garlic and soften and get nice and toasty. see how it's sizzling. >> yep. >> the broccoli rabe will add some fresh green, you can use kale. swiss chard. whatever hearty green you have. >> you let it settle. >> yeah. i'll season it with a bit of salt. we're just going to wait until it wilts down. it will happen pretty quickly and the fat from the lamb will

tame the bitterness from the greens. we'll se. we'll just be more cautious, you see. once the greens become bright green you know it's ready to go and you can add your lamb. we'll do that. put these in. so you have these big clumps of lamb sausage. difficult to eat -- >> like meatballs. >> like meatballs which is great for kind of -- i'll give you this task. break it down. right? takes a little bit of work but you just break it into smaller bits but keep them kind of large so they can get nice and brown all over. and now we got -- that looks nice. and then i'm using big shells because i think of them as a pasta that you want to stuff but instead they ago as little nests

here that catch all the kind of crispy bits and green so i'll just add that here. >> already been cooked. >> already parboiled. i'll add some pasta water here and the pasta water is key because that's what is going to bring the sauce and the pasta together. a little bit of butter. just a little bit. >> or a lot. >> two tablespoons. >> what's this here? >> that's lemon zest. you'll add that as well. and that will add this floral brightness to the dish. so you have the kind of fresh greens, nice crispy lamb and the lemon zest and you kind of have that going and it'll settle. come together and then you have it plated over here. that's also getting nice and glossy. >> i see you topped it with pistachios, an homage to your persian background. >> exactly. i think they add a nice crunch and i had a little parmesan because i can't resist.

>> why not? meanwhile, let's get to the dessert before we run out of time. p>> this is a really easy dish. i will say that there's a dessert chapter. i'm not a great baker. i want to continue evolving and challenging my baking skills. but this is a crisp that i think is super easy. make it all summer long. start with peach, super ripe peaches and then i'll add blackberries but really, again, any berries you want. and then i'll have you add sugar and cornstarch. >> all of it? >> yes, all of it, go ahead. and then give it a toss. >> okay. >> and the sugar is just going to bring the sweet amazing and cornstarch will make sure the juices of the fruit thicken and become glossy so you don't have a runny pool all over the place. >> okay. >> once that's all nicely coated, we're just going to dump that here. and i'm -- >> cast iron skillet. >> a cast iron skillet.

you can use a baking dish but i find a nice large skillet is super easy and then once -- this is your base for the fruit and then we'll make our topping here >> like streusel. >> it's actually made with bread crumbs and flour and get this cinnamon toast crunch flavor. >> do you mind? >> i'm going to do this. that is already finished. we'll do flour. [ laughter ] in there. so we're going to do a mix of flour, light brown sugar for sweetness, some panko bread crumbs, cinnamon, salt. >> salt? >> and you'll give it a stir while i pour in some butter. and this is just melted butter and you'll see how these kind of nice clumps form and you're going to keep going until you don't see any more flour. it's all kind of absorbed, that nice butter and then, that looks

good. >> okay. >> then we're just going to sprinkle it on top. and so this will give you the kind of nice summer crisp. it's going to go in the off everybody for 350 for about 40 minutes until the juices have thickened and you have this lovely fragrant crust on top. >> perfect. really good. go to goodmorningamerica.com to get the recipes. sorry, my mouth is full. we'll be right back. thanks for coming in. >> thank you, george. >> george, yeah.

we cannot remember the last time the entire studio was into a cooking segment. have a great one. >> bye, everyone. have a great one. >> bye, everyone.

out-of-state corporations wrote an online sports betting plan they call "solutions for the homeless". really? the corporations take 90 percent of the profits. and using loopholes they wrote, they'd take even more. the corporations' own promotional costs,

like free bets, taken from the homeless funds. and they'd get a refund on their $100 million license fee, taken from homeless funds, too. these guys didn't write a plan for the homeless. they wrote it for themselves.
