take a look at this twitter image from san antonio. school buses parked in a heart shape in solidarity. let's get the latest now from abc's marcus moore. good morning to you, marcus. >> reporter: eva, good morning. you can see the growing memorial behind me here at robb elementary school in uvalde and by now the kids in this small town would be enjoying their first weekend of the summer break, but instead the nation is embracing this community at a dark time as new details are now emerging about the harrowing final moments of the attack inside the school building. this morning, growing memorials after the school shooting at robb elementary school in uvalde, texas. empty chairs for each of the innocent victims. a community shaken. still in shock. >> i don't know what we have to do to ensure that our babies are safe. what do we have to do? >> this memorial in the heartbroken town square, praying

for healing. >> god, i pray you add strength, your grace, your mercy, lord, shine over the city. >> reporter: new information about those horrifying minutes inside the classroom. before that moment as parents waiting desperately outside, the 18-year-old gunman foiring more than 300 rounds according to the police who added most of the sho shots were fired within four minutes of entering the room. now, more questions, as it emerges the suspect shot at least six different times after officers had already arrived outside the classroom door. >> there were children in that classroom that were at risk. >> reporter: but police were already there. >> it was the wrong decision, period. there's no excuse for that. >> reporter: the investigation revealing the school district's police chief --

>> i was born and raised here -- >> reporter: -- seen speaking at a candidate's forum earlier this year before receiving a seat on the city's council wrongly believed the situation was no longer an active shooter but instead a barricaded subject. and those who survived the massacre like 10-year-old noah, recovering from a gunshot wound with a long journey ahead. >> he saw his teacher get shot. what he has gone through, what he experienced, what he saw, what he heard and people telling me that, you know, he's a brave little guy and all this and that. what haunts me is that, you know, he -- this is the beginning of a very long journey for him. >> reporter: he is one of the many brave children from that horrific day in uvalde. president biden is expected to arrive later this morning to meet with grieving family members as questions remain about why it took so long for

officers on the scene to enter the classroom and end this massacre. janai? >> unimaginable pain those families are dealing with. marcus, thank you so much. now to that point, the growing outrage over the massacre in uvalde and the police response. abc's aaron katersky joins us. aaron, you went through the state's active shooter training manual. it makes clear, the first priority is to move in and confront the attacker. >> reporter: exactly. as soon as possible, janai, to neutralize the threat. that didn't happen. that's part of the building anger that we've seen in the days since those 19 kids killed at school. that anger is focussed on the shooter and his weapon, but also the response of police who waited to intervene. this morning, as the nation grieves with the people of uvalde it also channels their outrage. [ crowd chanting ] calls for change are growing louder after 21 people were killed in the mass shooting at robb elementary school. >> my heart just sank. it seems like a dream or

nightmare. something we'll probably never get over. >> how many more cycles of this does humanity have to have? i've been hearing this almost what feels like every two years. >> reporter: all police officers in texas schools must take active shooter training. it's explicit. the first priority in the manual is to move in and confront the shooter. now students nationwide are staging walkouts demonstrating against school violence and the lack of action on gun control reform. and just 300 miles from uvalde, the nra convening in houston -- [ crowd chanting ] -- drawing protesters from all sides. >> i think it's in our god-given rights to be able to protect ourselves. >> reporter: the 18-year-old uvalde suspect bought his gun legally. but this morning, law enforcement sources told abc news, investigators have found nothing to explain why he attacked on tuesday and what made robb elementary the target. the fbi is working to recover video so investigators can

understand whether police conduct cost lives. >> we have had lessons learned from past incidents. we just can't have the breakdowns and unfortunately that's what happened. there has to be an absolute guarantee that we're here to keep your children safe. >> reporter: and on top of it all, there are copy-cat threats all across the country after a 16-year-old threatened to attack this school. he was arrested, spent the night in jail. the prosecutor called it a cautionary tale. whit? >> cautionary tale. so many lessons learned as well. aaron katersky for us, thank you. want to bring in abc's chief washington correspondent jonathan karl who will be hosting "this week" later on this morning. jon, good morning. always great to have you. let's start there. today president biden making his second visit now to the scene of a mass shooting in less than two weeks. but beyond offering comfort to another grieving community, what can biden do to address this epidemic of gun violence in america? >> reporter: first, whit, the

president will be traveling to uvalde. he's going to meet in private with the families of the victims from from robb elementary school. we'll see some of him, but i don't expect we'll hear very much from him on this trip. this is a private time to mourn with those families. in terms of what can be done, it feels like we've been through this over and over and over again, because we have. in this case, what the white house is saying, congress needs to act. congress needs to act on gun safety, on combating mass violence like this, gun violence. it's congress that needs to act. there's very limited powers from the white house' view that the president has. >> on that point, white house calling on congress to do something on gun reform. we know on your show you'll have democratic senator chris murphy on the show. he's meeting with some republicans to discuss possible solutions.

any signals, though, this time that something could be different and that something could actually pass on guns? >> reporter: well, look, whit, it's hard for me to say that. i remember vividly covering the sandy hook massacre and the bipartisan talks that came out of that and ultimately nothing was done. parkland, same thing. different president, different congress. also, no results. in terms of this they're looking at things like background checks, red flag laws. but keep in mind, in this case and in the buffalo case, neither one of these 18-year-old shooters had a criminal background that would have necessarily prevented them from buying a gun no matter extensive the background checks were, or diagnosed evidence of mental illness. one factor that you should look to be addressed which not has been a part of conversation is raising the minimum age to buy a long gun, to buy something like an ar-15. right now you can buy that at 18. you can't buy a handgun until you're 21. you can buy these weapons of war when you turn 18.

>> we heard from people from the nra convention that seemed open to that idea. we'll see what happens. jon karl, thank you so much. tune into this "this week" later on this morning for more on the uvalde shooting. jon karl goes one-on-one with senator chris murphy from connecticut about what the senate can do on gun reform ande adam kinzinger on whether his party can support more restrictions. eva? the victim of the buffalo supermarket mass shooting has been laid to rest. 86-year-old ruth whitfield was the oldest of the ten black people who lost their lives in buffalo. vice president kamala harris and the second gentleman attending that service. the vice president in an impromptu speech calling for an assault weapons ban, saying the 200 mass shootings this year alone are an epidemic of hate. >> startling number. now to that holiday weekend boating tragedy. two killed and three missing and presumed dead when two motorboats slammed into each other along the georgia coast.

abc's elwyn lopez is in atlanta as the intense search for the missing picks up again. elwyn, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, janai, good morning. that urgent search now going into a second day, teams scouring the waters, racing to find those three passengers who are still missing. >> we're going to need an additional ambulance, probably a third. >> reporter: this morning, at least two people dead. and an intense search for three more after boats collide on a georgia river. >> we're in a recovery mode. >> reporter: the coast guard swooping in, making the daring rescue. seen here water. officials say the two boats were traveling in opposite directions saturday morning when they crashed on the wilmington river. one of the boats carrying six passengers, the other three. >> we got someone on a paddleboard who's waving us down. >> reporter: authorities say four boaters with minor injuries were rushed to a nearby hospital.

overnight we spoke to witnesses who say they looked on as teams searched the waters for those missing. >> we watched the search and rescue team and the helicopter and the various boats look for the victims. >> it was just surreal and unfortunate and it just was extremely sad. >> reporter: and authorities are using sonar devices to look for those victims, and eva, this morning, investigators are still trying to determine what led to that tragic crash. >> elwyn lopez for us there in atlanta. now to the war in ukraine. russia flexing more military muscle saying it had test fired a hypersonic missile into the sea, while its forces claim advances in eastern ukraine. abc's tom soufi burridge joins us from ukraine with the latest. good morning, tom. >> reporter: good morning, eva. the fighting out east is now into a critical phase, the russians are slowly taking

ground and they're threatening to encircle a key city on the ukrainian side named severodonetsk. we know that thousands of civilians and ukrainian soldiers are still inside the city. this video posted by russia shows the intensity of the fighting around a hotel in that city. we can't say exactly when it was shot. but some good news for the ukrainians, a u.s. official telling abc news that it's now likely that the u.s. will supply longer range rocket systems. they should help ukraine hit targets behind enemy lines and that could make a big difference in this war. the other big story is here in odesa. have a look behind me. those giant cranes in the distance is where the point is, beyond that the black sea. cargo ships have been unable to get ukraines vital food exports out. we got a rare look inside grain terminal, everything at a standstill.

as a result global food prices soaring. parts of the africa and the middle east are already facing a food crisis. the u.n. calling the situation here a catastrophe on top of a catastrophe. european leaders talking to putin this weekend to try and get an end to the blockade right now. janai? >> all right, tom, thank you. turning back home now to the nationwide baby formula shortage. two military airlift shipments of formula have arrived in the u.s. in just the past seven days but the fda say it may be july before store shelves are stocked full again. according to data assembly, a company that tracks retail supply trends, the shortage increased significantly through the last week. it says as of may 22nd stores on average reported 70% of thei stock was not available compared to 45% the week before. another story we're following this morning, the holiday travel picture here, flight cancellations piling up this weekend. for the latest let's get to abc's phil lipof at newark liberty international airport in new jersey. phil, good morning. >> reporter: whit, good morning. we're deep into the memorial day

weekend. with 39 million people expected to travel we're seeing pre-pandemic numbers here at a lot of airports. tsa is expected to screen more than 2 million people a day through monday. roughly 2,000 flights cancelled already this weekend. another 200 cancelled already today and that of course causes delays, newark here in new jersey, laguardia in new york, seeing some of the biggest delays. if you're flying today or tomorrow, always good to use the app of the airline you're flying just in case you have to rebook and you can do it pretty quickly instead of standing in line. keep a close eye on your flight status. always get to the airport early. the roads will be busy today. aaa expecting 35 million people will drive to their destinations. with soaring gas prices it will cost you more this year obviously, so you can use apps like gasbuddy to help you find the cheapest gas. as for the best time to travel, earlier is always better. there will be less traffic today than tomorrow.

but if you absolutely have to travel on memorial day, if you're going home, you got to get out early, before 11:00, because between 1:00 and 4:00 you'll see the most congestion. no matter when you're traveling and how long it's going to take, we hope you spend time with family and friends this weekend. eva? >> we all hope to get some time with our family. >> hopefully people empty their water bottles before they get to the tsa line. >> you're not -- >> how many times do i -- it's like they need dj khaled there. another one, another one. anyway, one last tip, please, please. >> oh, my goodness. from whit johnson himself this morning. time now for a check of the weather and meteorologist danielle breezy from our affiliate wkrn in nashville. jet setter. thankfully your flight was on time. >> whit, that was pretty good. i liked that. eva, i like the bangs by the way. >> thank you. i do want to talk about the fact that we had torrential downpours yesterday in queens, new york. take a look at this video, this lady enjoying herself walking through the rain. that's a welcome change. we have a threat of severe weather today.
