face-to-face with paul ryan this morning. the unity of the republican party possibly at stake. abc's tom llamas is on capitol hill with the latest. good morning, tom. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. the meeting starts here at rnc headquarters at 9 a.m. and trump's first meeting may be his most important meeting with reince priebus and house speaker paul ryan and ryan trying to balance what's best with the party with what's best with donald trump. donald trump bringing his dealmaking to washington to convince republican leaders to get on the trump train. his pitch for unity simple. >> no matter what you have you're going to have differences. if you agree on 70% that's always a lot. >> reporter: trump hopes that works on house speaker paul ryan who has yet to support the presumptive gop nominee. >> this election is too important to go into an election at half strength. that means we need a real unification of our party. >> reporter: trump, who threatened to bounce ryan as

convention chair now with a charm offensive. >> paul is a good person and i don't know him well. he knew everybody else because they're governors, senators. i am a businessman. >> reporter: a businessman who loves to brag about his billions. and now trump's critics want him to prove it by releasing his tax returns. >> when you run for president, especially when you become the nominee, that is kind of expected. so you got to ask yourself why doesn't he want to release them? yeah, well, we're going to find out. >> reporter: trump claims he's being audited. mitt romney says so what posting on facebook that's not a valid or legal reason and that trump is possibly hiding a, quote, bombshell of unusual size. trump says, only when the audit is over. >> the answer is hopefully before the election. >> reporter: though his taxes remain a mystery he is revealing new details about his pick for running mate. >> five or six or seven.

>> actually, yes. >> reporter: now the trump team today in washington. tomorrow the campaign heads to cleveland to meet with convention officials. it'll be the first major face-to-face meeting between the two groups. we do know that trump wants entertainment and recently said they have some great country and western people who want to come in, so the convention may turn into the trump rodeo, george. >> okay, tom, thanks very much. let's talk more with jon karl down in washington this morning and, jon, about this meeting first. paul ryan, the speaker of the house making it clear, don't expect an endorsement immediately coming out of this meeting with donald trump. but what is he looking for today? >> reporter: well, he's made it crystal clear that he eventually wants to endorse donald trump. but it will take a long time to get there. so don't expect that to happen today. look, ryan is under enormous pressure, george, from his fellow house republicans to come out and to unify, to endorse the party's presumptive nominee. one very senior member of the house leadership who is quite close to ryan

concern here is that trump could decide to effectively run against the house republicans to run against the house just as he is running against hillary clinton to run as a true outsider, really a third party candidate who happens to have the republican endorsement. this member of the house leadership told me that would be a disaster. >> they are so far apart on so many issues. they have to find some common ground. >> reporter: if you went into a lab and tried to design a politician that was most unlike paul ryan you probably would have come out with donald trump. they differ style liistically a need to find common ground at least in terms of the vision of what it means to be a republican. right now they look like two different visions. >> on the tax return issue, up until now donald trump has calculated it would cause him more pain to release them than withhold them but the pressure is going to increase. >> reporter: the pressure will absolutely increase, george. he is not the conventional

with a lot that others couldn't have but on this one he will be forced to release those tax returns, especially now that he has said that he would, every major party nominee for the last half century has released at least the summary of those returns, almost all of them their full returns and he will be under pressure every day to do that in the general election. >> yeah, going back to 176. jon karl, thanks very much. now to the latest on the stabbing spree at a mall in massachusetts. we're learning more about the man who killed two, injured several others before being shot by an off-duty deputy. this morning, his family revealing the suspect was seeking help for a mental breakdown. abc's gio benitez is in taunton, massachusetts, with the latest. good morning, gio. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. overnight we learned the suspect may have made threats in the past before the attack in this mall. this as we learn so much more about two heroes. this morning, we're now learning beloved 56-year-old teacher george

wood oven pizza in the galleria mall when arthur derosa came in stabbing a pregnant waitress. >> my husband grabbed him. i think he grabbed him around the waist area, i think, trying to keep him so his arm wouldn't go up to stab anybody else. >> reporter: heath was stabbed in the head as he tried to intervene. he did not survive. >> i lost a good man. i did. he was a great man. >> reporter: the waitress surviving but in serious condition this morning and then another hero, off-duty deputy james creed stopped derosa with a single bullet. derosa later died at the hospital. >> he prevented further carnage from occurring by his actions. >> reporter: derosa's motives are a mystery but this morning we're learning more about his possible history with mental illness. our boston station wcvb obtaining court documents that quote his then girlfriend who told him derosa had tried to harm himself and

you should be scared for your life. and now new details about his stay in a hospital the night before the attack. his family revealing he was seeking treatment for what they call a breakdown. >> it's a disgrace how someone goes in for help and wants help and no one does nothing. >> reporter: derosa was sent home at 4:00 a.m. by 6:00 p.m. the next evening the father of two left his child's soccer game, crashed his car, entered a random house and stabbed 80-year-old patricia slavin to death and injured her daughter and allege he took that same crashed car, slammed it into macy's at the mall and caused that carnage at the restaurant. derosa's family blame morton hospital for sending him home without treating his mental illness. they say they extend their thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims but saying it can't disclose patient information.

massachusetts says it will investigate that hospital's actions. the family claims they couldn't even get his name right. >> all right, gio, thank you. now to that new warning about the zika virus. an article in the harvard public health review saying holding the 2016 games in rio could create a public health disaster and is now calling for them to move location or even be postponed. abc's dr. richard besser is here with more. so tell us a little more about this assessment. >> this is a piece by a canadian public health law area and gives five strong reasons why he thinks they should be moved. rio is in the heart of the outbreak. not in the periphery, the second, this strain of zika is worse than previous strains and causes those severe birth defects in babies. the increase in tourism is going to spread the virus. half a billion people coming in and going back to their countries will spread it and shorten the time that public health officials have to create new ways to prevent this in thos

hold the games. the u.s., the major league baseball moved two baseball games out of puerto rico for this very reason to prevent the spread of disease. >> what do you think about this assessment. >> you know, as a public health person i know the last thing you want during an outbreak is a lot of people coming in because it will spread it faster. but i don't think the games are going to be moved or postponed. i think the focus needs to be on making sure pregnant women don't go and those who go use repellant. >> a new report about symptoms for zika. >> if you've been to a place where zika is spread be, be alert. the first is a rash, usually itchy, you can also have fever, joint pain and bloodshot eyes. if you've been to one of these places within the past two weeks and you get those symptoms go ahead and get tested. >> quick reminder what we can do to prevent the spread. >> yeah, you want to do it now before mosquito season. repair your screens and gutters and get rid of free

up on repel apartment because when mosquito comes you want to use that protection. >> thanks. we turn to that stunning finding about the explosion at a texas fertilizer plant that killed people. it was not an accident calling it a criminal act and abc's phillip mena is in west texas with the latest. good morning, phillip. >> reporter: yeah, this is the blast site. the explosion left a crater about the size of an olympic swimming pool. but the void it left in this community is immeasurable and this morning, the feds say someone ignited it on purpose. the explosion rocking the town of west, texas, now being called a criminal act. the images shocking. the smoke, blinding. >> i don't even recognize it. i have no idea where i am. >> reporter: the sounds of fear haunting. >> dad, i can't hear.

>> get out of here. please get out of here. >> reporter: 15 people including a dozen first responders killed on that april night in 201 at the west fertilizer plant. hundreds more injured. this morning federal officials say it was no accident. the fire that sparked the blast intentionally set. >> we came to the conclusion after we ruled out all recent accidental and natural causes. >> reporter: three years later this town of 2,800 still recovering. entire neighborhoods, the local high school rebuilt. >> did you move back. >> yes, i moved back. all i could think about was all those lives lost. >> reporter: federal investigators now on the hunt for the arsonist offering a $50,000 reward. >> we want the community to know that we haven't forgotten them and owe it to them to go where this investigation leads us. we owe that to them and that's what we're going to do. >> reporter: in addition to the reward money, the atf

they believe the culprit was the lithium ion battery powering the blinking lights on their son's sneakers which he left in the char. its batteries and wires left exposed. >> there was nothing else in there to start a fire. >> i'm glad my son wasn't wearing it at the time. >> reporter: lithium ion batteries are extremely common used in millions of electronics every day from cell phones to tablets but can also be dangerous. in rare cases, bursting into flames. >> it's on fire. >> reporter: like with these hoverboards and have recently been banned as cargo on passenger planes. the investigation into the car fire is still ongoing but authorities say the sneakers remain a possible cause. payless where the shoes were purchased telling abc news they have removed the shoes from store shelves out of an abundance of caution.

safety commission says this is the first case they're aware of. other retailers selling them are pulling them for now and that is just the size of a penny, so tiny. >> but the damage it's apparently doing. to amy with the morning's other top stories starting with that violent arrest caught on camera. >> that's right. the attorney general in new hampshire is now launching an investigation into several officers who were caught on camera punching a suspect who had led police on a chase through several towns. the man was wanted on multiple warrants including assault. he had dropped to his knees when he was repeatedly punched. authorities are now going to investigate whether that force was necessary. well, george zimmerman is selling the gun he used to kill your honor armed teenager trayvon martin placing it up for auction online today. zimmerman calls the gun an american firearm icon. he was acquitted of murder and manslaughter in martin's death an speaking on the phone, he was unapologetic about the sale. >> w
