p.m. during a pool party at this upscale apartment complex in affluent la jolla, california. >> three people down, the suspect is reloading his gun in the pool area. >> reporter: according to police the woman killed and six of the seven others injured were african-american. the other victim was a latino mail. the shooter a 49-year-old white meal named pete selis. his motive not known but witnesses say selis sat calm with a beer in one hand and a gun in the other as he sprayed bullets at the 30 partygoers at the pool. >> a lot of people screaming and about a minute later another round of six or seven shots, more people screaming. >> reporter: residents scrambling to safety as calls to 911 began pouring in. >> he sitting in a lawn chair. he is telling people to leave. >> i heard what sounded like fireworks. i wasn't sure what it was and then i smelled smoke and i turned around and i heard people screaming and

reached the area first where it spotted the shooter reloading his weapon. three officers arrived on the scene with grn guns drawn and confronted the man. >> the suspect pointed the gun at our officers and our -- three of our officers fired on the suspect. >> reporter: he died in that hail of bullets shortly thereafter. according to the "l.a. times" he filed bankruptcy in 2015 and listed his occupation as a car mechanic with two children and a stepson. now, we know that selis lived here but this is a complicated crime scene and investigators are still working that scene. they say they don't have a concrete motive yet but it is likely that they're going to investigate whether race played a role in this shooting. robin. >> all right, matt, thank you. thousand to the deadly storms hitting the center of the country. tornadoes and flooding destroying homes and injuring dozens. a look at the scene from the sky in canton, texas where a

ef-3 tornado tore through the area and rob marciano is there. good morning, rob. >> good morning, michael. these were deadly tornadoes, four of them to hit this area. the one that hit here, 140-mile-an-hour winds ripping apart this building which was preparing to host a prom when the storm hit. there were 20 people inside. they crammed into two small bathrooms and a closet which would save their lives. this was all part of a massive system still plowing across the country. >> we got a baby. call 911. >> reporter: in texas it was a race against type as neighbors turn into heroes. the harrowing event to rescue an infant and a 2-year-old from a car flipped over. rapidly filling with floodwaters. the severe storm responsible for at least 14 deaths and heart-stopping scenes like this. >> there is a tornado crossing the road right in front of us. >> reporter: overnight, millions in the path of that deadly spring system as it marches east. in illinois, raging

call. >> 8-year-old child swept into a drainpipe. >> reporter: the boy rescued 50 feet downstream with no visible injuries. >> we got him in this pipe. >> reporter: in missouri the governor declaring a state of emergency. in arkansas -- >> we've got our work ahead of us. >> reporter: -- cars and roads no match for this storm. the heavy rain triggering a massive deep south deluge. some areas in the south accumulating nearly a foot of rain in just the last three days. this morning, residents in texas left picking up the pieces. >> looks like someone took a broom and just pushed it over. >> reporter: the rustic barn in canton was set to host prom night. >> i ran in and said we got to get covered. it's going to be a direct hit. >> reporter: reduced to rubble. only thing left standing this storage closet. >> unbelievable to see no building left except where we were located. >> not a single one of us was hurt, scratch. god was with us, no doubt on that. >> timing

when you look at this damage from above it's miraculous they all survived. if this storm were to hit just an hour later there would be 80 teenagers in the building and end result would not nearly have been as good. it could have been certainly a lot worse. michael. >> thank you, rob. we're glad they're okay. let's go to ginger for more on where the system is heading next. there you go, ginger in yeah, michael, you have to see this thing. that rotating cloud, the almost textbook look at it, the cold front attached and severe storms in mississippi and alabama this morning or alabama itself but look at this. warnings and alerts from minnesota down through the florida panhandle where you can see gusts up to 35 miles an hour to flood watches that make their way into northern new england in maine there and it's that severe threat, michael. this is what i'm concerned about. buffalo to pittsburgh, down into virginia, that's the enhanced area and the timing for this is starts afternoon, after i'd say 2:00 and, george, all the way through tonight the

even tornadoes in that region. >> not over yet. thanks very much. latest from washington where the president started his second 100 days taking on the tensions of north korea and says the u.s. might be forced to strike their nuclear weapons and called kim jong-un a pretty smart cookie. white house hoping for a health care vote and president trump says obamacare is dead and promises to guarantee coverage of pre-existing conditions but that absent from the latest gop plan and congress is going to fund the government through september and mary bruce on capitol hill with the details. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning. a rare moment of agreement on capitol hill late last night. republicans and democrats agreeing on a spending bill. nearly $1 trillion to fund the government through september. now, this ends any suspense over a government shutdown and delivers victories for both p r parties. more than $12 billion in military spending and democrats will be pleased to hold off cuts

medical research and infrastructure but this catch-all spending bill expected to pass later this week is the latest victory for the president during his administration. >> the other big one, democrats refusing to fund president trump's border wall but there is money for border security. what will it cover? >> reporter: what's more interesting is what is not in the bill. there is no funding for the president's border wall. now, this does include $1.5 billion for border security but none will go to construction of a physical barrier despite the president's insistence that be included the fight over the wall will have to wait at least until the fall. >> thanks very much. george, now to the growing tensions with north korea. president trump speaking out about the threat and coming under fire for inviting the president of the philippines to the white house as he tries to build alliances. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has more on that. good morning, martha. >> reporter: goomo

president trump had strong words for north korea's leader, but that invitation to the philippines president could create a firestorm of criticism for his human rights abuses. tensions on the rise, president trump responding to north korea's latest failed missile launch. >> perhaps they're just not very good missiles but eventually he'll have good missiles. >> reporter: and on the possibility of a nuclear test. >> if he does a nuclear test, i will not be happy. >> reporter: with the "carl vinson" in waters near there, president trump keeping the military option on the table if north korea obtains long-range missiles. >> it is a chess game. i just don't want people to know what my thinking is, so eventually he will have a better delivery system and if that happens, we can't allow it to happen. >> reporter: and president trump saying not to underestimate kim jong-un. >> at a very young age he was

obviously he's a pretty smart cookie. >> reporter: but president trump facing new controversy this morning for inviting philippines president rodrigo duterte to the white house. he faced international criticism and his war on drugs reportedly responsible for over 7,000 extrajudicial killings since his inauguration in june of 2016 but the administration defending the invitation. >> does that mean human rights don't matter? >> absolutely not. it doesn't mean human rights don't matter but what it does mean is that the issues facing us developing out of north korea are so serious that we need cooperation at some level with as many partners in the area as we can get. >> reporter: the real rationale for his invitation is likely about china. duterte threatened to kick out the u.s. military while aligning itself closer to china and president trump wants to change that, george. >> okay,

much. president trump celebrated his 100th day with a rally in harrisburg, pennsylvania, where he laid into the media as so many were sitting down at the annual white house correspondents' dinner and cecilia vega has the details. >> reporter: good morning. it was quite the split screen, journalists celebrating the first amendment while the president at a rally bashing the media. the annual nerd prom. minus the main attraction. the no show president went to pennsylvania instead where he held a competing event with a competing message. >> they are gathered together for the white house correspondents' dinner without the president. and i could not possibly be more thri thrilled than to be more than 100 miles away from washington

you. >> reporter: president trump marked his 100th day by taking direct aim at the media. >> and look at the media back there. they would actually rather be here. >> reporter: this morning, the white house is also taking another look at health care. after that failed first attempt at repealing even replacing obamacare, president trump says the latest proposal will continue to protect people with pre-existing conditions. >> pre-existing conditions are in the bill and i mandated it. i said it has to be of the we have -- we're going to have lower premiums. this bill is much different than it was a little while ago, okay. this bill has evolved. >> reporter: the white house may be hoping for a vote soon but republicans on capitol hill say there is no health care vote scheduled yet and they will not vote until they've got the votes to pass this. one aide saying there is no vote scheduled for this week. >> they're going to keep trying. thanks very much. let's bring in jon karl for more on this and tart with that

health care bill, jon. the big sticking point is this question of bree existing conditions and the president says he wants to guarantee it but the bill before congress right now would allow states to charge people higher premiums. >> reporter: it sure would, george. the states would be able to basically waive that and allow insurance companies to charge higher premiums but the condition that they would have to provide an alternative coverage mechanism for those that are priced out of the market, but, george, the white house is confident, they say. they tell me this bill will pass the house, likely this week. there are still questions whether moderates will support it but i've talked to conservatives in the house and senate who do say they like this better than what was up last time. >> different situation in the senate but the house first. on the 100 days the president not quite giving up on this putting out a new ad, going to spend $1.5 million to tout his accomplishments over the first 100 days and keep on bashing of the media. >> yeah, this is something

a campaign ad 100 days into his presidency, the president as you remember called the 100 days a ridiculous standard to judge him by but this touts his accomplishments and takes a whack at the media for not recognizing it. >> meantime, on that media bashing, a lot of eyebrows raised yesterday. you were talking to reince priebus on "this week" and suggested that president trump was still looking at opening up libel laws so meme could sue over unfair coverage. >> reporter: this surprised me frankly. he said they are looking into this. making it possible for the president to sue news organizations for bad coverage. george, he would have to do a constitutional amendment to actually pull that off. >> not going anywhere fast. jon karl, thanks very much. amy is here with today's other top stories. >> good morning, guys. we begin at kennedy space center right now where the private space company spacex is launching a classified u.s. intelligence satellite. here is a live look at the launch getting under way. there you see it taking

it's also important to consider companies like apple or icracked. this is so much more than repairing a piece of glass. there are connecters to the digitizers which register your typing and swiping or the connectors to the microphone or speaker. someone like jason here at necknopia what is done thousands of these repairs. find someone well reviewed online and has a written guarantee of at least 30 days for their work. >> all right, becky, fantastic information there. thanks so much. you should see amy. she leaned in the whole time taking notes. >> i have a cracked phone so thank you. >> thank you. michael. >> all right, thank you, robin. coming up on our big board, is your favorite show about to be leaked? there's a hacker threatening netflix and more. a shark alert. a new attack over the weekend. how a drone could help keep the waters safe. we'll talk about those two things when we come ba

ongthe uncertainties of hep c. wondering, what if? i let go of all those feelings. because i am cured with harvoni. harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. it's been prescribed to more than a quarter million people. and is proven to cure up to 99% of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. before starting harvoni, your doctor will test to see if you've ever had hepatitis b, which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. tell your doctor if you've ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. ready to let go of hep c? ask your hep c specialist about harvoni.

we're back with our big board. a major security breach for netflix targeted by a hacker who leaked unreleased episodes of "orange is the new black" because netflix wouldn't pay a ransom. jason tanz joins us. it turns out netflix, they're already a victim. "orange is the new black" is out there but this hacker threatening other networks as well? yeah, that's right. this is a problem that goes beyond netflix and claims to have 36 different television shows and movie as valuable he's going to start leaking. the problem is it's sort of a weakest link problem. they didn't hack into netflix specifically but a post-production sound mixing studio and that's the problem that all these shows involve a ton of partners and you're only as good as the weakest partner. >> used to be where vhs tape somebody -- they set it up and see people getting popcorn if you see one of those but could this be the future of piracy and hacking? >> well, we'll see. you

been the top five -- i'm sorry for the last five years has been the most pirated show and really hasn't hurt hbo. doesn't seem to hurt "game of thrones" that much. this is a subscription model so it's not the same thing as with a movie every time somebody watches it that's money you're not getting. netflix is looking into it. we're aware of the situation. a production vendor had its security compromised and the appropriate law enforcement is made aware of. >> no sense any of these networks will pay a ransom, right? >> hard to imagine. they're only worth it if somebody pays it. if they keep up a wall of not paying there is no business model for it in other cyberthreat. we did a version called the ten concerts facebook meme. why are some security experts warning about this. >> this is the deal where you listen concerts, nine of which you went to and one fake and

fake. sometimes those backup security questions are what was your first concert. i think it'soverblown. if you're concerned get two-factor authentication and use a password app. that that's probably a better way than not participating in this. >> nobody's business what concerts i went to, george. now we'll go to that shark alert. a woman attacked at a popular california beach over the weekend was airlifted to the hospital and this is the latest incident coming as lifeguards test out new technology like drones to see if they can help keep swimmers safe and t.j. holmes joins us from seabright, new jersey. just days ago a drone captured footage of a shark swimming beneath the surface in australia. how can this technology help protect these beachgoers? >> reporter: need to remind viewers about how many were killedn

a shark encounter, zero. the year before that, one. the year before that, zero. the year before that, one. so the chances are extremely unlikely, but if you can't sleep one night and catch a "jaws" marathon those numbers don't make you feel better especially when you show a video like that to think that some people are out there and don't know sharks are lurking underneath them. these drones can give you a bird's-eye view and standing out on a beach you're looking at murky water and don't know what's out there so that's what the drones can do, give you somewhat peace of mind and give you a heads-up. >> you got one behind you. can you show us how it works? >> let's go ahead and get it in the air and launch it and head down the shoreline. my drone operators are about 50 yards behind me so they're not even on the beach so this thing takes off and can give us a view, again, it's murky out there. i have no idea what's in the waters. you can send a drone out to give you a view. now, how do you get word back to people? well, a couple of different ways.

before people actually get into the water so before you get to the beach or get to the beach they can give you a heads-up saying, hey, there are sharks out there. the other thing they could just maybe give the surfers a heads-up to say, hey, there's something right underneath you. >> thank you for that and i'll stay in the pool with george. jason, thank you very much. coming up, everybody, we'll kick off our huge "deals & steals" on wheels event. we're taking it on the road live in chicago with big bargains starting at just $5. coming up "gma's" "deals & steals" on wheels presented by vistaprint.

...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed.

thing has been kind of a crazy whirlwind since the first "guardians of the galaxy" came out, a lot of things happening at once and you tend to kind of hunker down inside the eye of the storm as all this crazy stuff is happening with you and it takes being with your family or friends or somebody close to you for you to actually step back and be present in that moment and enjoy that moment and it's been -- and having her there and like, for instance, that live tweeting thing or having jack with us, it just all of a sudden i got to enjoy what was happening. >> it's great. >> well deserved. well deserved. you shared so much. those videos about your snacks, i mean just really crack us up. do you have a favorite snack? >> i love it. >> do you have a fave? >> meat. >> meat is not a snack. >> well, meatballs. >> okay. >> meat shakes -- shakes. meat star, meat rectangles. i like a meat snack i

"big china little china" you get that out of the way and takes about five, ten minutes saying, i know, i know and

past that and became friends and i have a cell phone number. i'll give you all his cell phone number. yeah. pretty awesome. who wants kurt russell's cell phone number? >> while he's giving that you want to see some "guardians of the galaxy"? let's take a look. >> all of this, i really would but you left the most wonderful woman ever to die alone. >> i didn't want to leave your mother, peter. if i don't return regularly to my plan threat and the light within it, this form will wither and perish. >> so why didn't you come back? why did you send yandu a criminal to fetch me. >> i loved your mother, peter. i couldn't stand to set foot on an earth where she wasn't living. you can't imagine what that's like. >> i know exactly what that feels like. i had to watch her die. >> whoa. >> wow.

back here on "gma," the drama team, wait, where are you from? >> we're from northern high school in north carolina where the with the drama department. >> hey, you guys are ready to act in times square here. well, you're leaving before the storms come but look at this. this afternoon and evening, that cold front is going to pop up severe storm, damaging wind is a main threat and anywhere from western new york right through central pennsylvania, pittsburgh, you're in the enhanced risk down through roanoke, virginia, on the lookout, even north carolina so you guys are going home and will

winds out of the southwest. a cold front approaching from the west will trigger thunderstorms this evening. some of the storms could be strong to severe, per the storm prediction center, so it's a stormwatch7 weather alert day. the entire area is under the 'enhanced category', which means numerous severe thunderstorms are possible. stay weather alert, especially between 6-10pm. storms could contain damaging winds (60+ mph), hail, and even an isolated tornado. thunderstorm all that weather brought to you by kay jewelers. let's head upstair, guys. >> thank you, ginger. and we are here now with another very special guest, you know him from his motorcycle days on "sons of anarchy" now riding into theaters as king arthur. give it up for charlie hunnam. [ cheers and applause ] >> welcome. >> thank you, thank you for having me. >> this movie, this movie goes way back for you. king arthur was one of your favorites. >> it was. it was. it was a film as kids do, you know, you latch on to flips you like and watch them over and over and over again and when i was about 6 or 7, john's "excaliber" was o

already identified that i loved film but i started to dream as kids do that maybe that would be what i could do as a career and asked my mum, like, how do they go about hiring actors? you know, so these guys riding horses and sword fighting and i said do they hire an actor that knows how to do those things and my mum said i'm not really sure but i would imagine they hire someone with the aesthetic and the heart and essence of the character that they're looking for and then teaches them those skills and i said, whoa, at 6 years old i thought learning to ride horses and sword fights sounds like pretty much the greatest job in the world and cut to 30 years later it's my least favorite part of the job. so, that's okay, though. >> on the film, of course, he's this character that you've always wanted to play. i read somewhere that you have a thing for props. so, the big question is did you get excaliber? did you get the sword. >> you know, i didn't. i didn't. i tried to. >> you did?

to see here? >> yeah, nothing to worry about here. you know, it's funny. on the film of this size, there's a lot of absurd jobs get created and one of the jobs was the sword wrangler. there was a man whose job it was to look after the sword. he's this lovely old english fella. >> didn't have the heart? >> no, i did. i absolutely did have the heart. or lack of heart and so one day i was just casually sort of walking out and he said, charlie, he said, where are you taking the sword? i said, home. naturally and he goes, you know what, i think you're so great. i would actually let you take this sword, but guy had wanted to do something really nice for you and so he's asked for a brand-new sword to be made for you and he's going to present it to you and i said, oh, that is aso nice and rap came and no sword arrived. i got bamboozled. >> guy just got called out. >> yeah, i know.

if you see him, ask him -- >> where is your sword. >> where my sword is. is that the reveal today? are you going to bring the sword out for me? >> if so we'll all be -- >> yeah, really. >> come on, right? [ cheers and applause ] i present you -- >> wow. with a rubber sword. [ cheers and applause ] >> i mean, i got to say, this is nice. it's not quite what i was hoping for. i'm not sure if i needed to defend myself how well this would work. >> you know what -- >> i appreciate the effort. >> we'll take a look at a clip of "king arthur" and charlie hunnam. ♪

[ applause ] >> and you may have noticed in that scene -- david beckham. pretty exciting. >> since you stepped off the elevator i can't imagine anyone but you playing the role and guy ritchie had to be talked into it. >> he did. it's funny, as i'm sure we've had this experience guy's films are so personal and get to feel so much of his personality in the flips and been an enormous fan of his and over the years of watching his flips i felt like i had gotten to know him and we have a lot of people in common and said you and guy would love each other if you met, two little peas in a pod so i sort of developed this illusion

there's guy right there. you chicken monkey. [ cheers and applause ] don't worry, guy. i got my own sword now. don't need -- >> nothing to see here, charlie, nothing to see here. >> well now it's going to be awkward telling this story in front of you so i said, i said, you know, i think, you know, i heard guy was doing "king arthur" and i promptly threw my name in the hat and guy threw it back out. you're a nice chap. i'm not really interested. i said, sorry, mate. that's unacceptable and jumped on a plane and showed up at his doorten and said let's have a cup of tea and at the end of that tea he liked me and i auditioned and got the job in the end. so it was a happy tale in the end. >> s

end about charlie can. >> you going to have to repeat? i'm a long way away. >> how did he convince you? >> it was enthusiasm. charlie would not take no for an answer. [ cheers and applause ] he wouldn't take no for an answer and eventually turned up on my door and i had to let him in. >> it's funny. i think the moment i was very, very skinny at the time and obviously playing this role requires a bit of a robust physicality and guy had questioned me about my ability to do this because he hadn't really seen any of my work and seeing other movies had been quite formidable so many types the idea of physicality came up and halfway through the audition i said, you know what, guys, these things are sometimes quite awkward. there is a lot of other actors also that awe are auditioning and saw them creeping about the hallways. >> we'll come back and s y

back. >>

we're back with charlie and guy and this is charlie training. >> wow. >> his role as king arthur. a thousand punches a day, charlie. >> yes, yeah. >> wow. >> was he always like that, just very short and to the point? >> yes is the answer to that. no, charlie was the pan for the job but unfortunately when someone said to me charlie hunnam i had a completely different actor in mind. and that was the reason i was so apprehensive about meeting charlie hunnam. sorry about that, chap. you probably didn't know that so eventually -- >> it all worked
