he's believed to be in texas or mexico.steros or have information as to his whereabouts call 1-866-the hunt or go online at cnn.com/thehunt. you can remain anonymous. we'll pass your tip on to the proper authorities. if requested, we'll not reveal your name. >> there was a memorial service held at st. rosa lima catholic church. >> there were actually people going around raising money to get what was left of them back to their homeland. >> it would be very satisfying for me personally to put the handcuffs on memo. it would give me great pleasure to take him to jail. >> this is the land of milk and honey, the land of opportunity. they are willing to risk so much to just get a piece of that. it made many people here in the community, it made myself just realize how good we had it. >> nothing can bring my brother back. but i think the responsible people should be -- should have been treated different. should have been arrested now and in jail. >> that these people voluntarily climbed into the hopper doesn't excuse the fact that

. >>> the donald goes to the texas border with mexico. and heroes among us. "early today" starts right now. >> we want to begin with breaking news. three dead, nine injured. following a shooting in lafayette, louisiana. among the dead is the shooter who turned the gun on himself and we're waiting to learn more about his identity. so far, police have only identified him as a 58-year-old white male. officials say it appears the gunman entered the theater alone and used the hand gun to fire randomly at film goers during a screening of the movie "trainwreck." >> this is going to be a long and arduous investigation and before we begin to get any of the beginnings of clues of what happened and why this may have happened. >> officials say the gunman had a criminal history. witnesses describe hearing about six shots. >> we was watching the movie. it was loud like one big bang. i knew it was a gun shot so i grabbed my fiance. before i looked i grabbed her and got her on the floor. and then while all of that is going on i saw where he was. i knew he was at the top left

i should mention that miss texas, a mexican-american who grew up on the texas and mexico border came in second place. >>> and massachusetts police are not ruling out that the girl found on the beach was killed by a family member. the girl known as baby doe remains unidentified. her body stuffed in a trash bag on an island near boston last month. officials also trying to figure out how she died saying there were no clear signs of trauma. >>> now imagine seeing this during your morning commute. this daredevil driver or just plain crazy caught on camera in los angeles driving in reverse on a winding road. he did it for two miles. it may be cool to watch, but terrifying for drivers who witnessed it first hand. >> i think that this individual had an argument or fight or possibly wanted to be a cool guy. >> now the lapd now investigating and searching for the driver. investigators call it the most wreckless driving they have ever seen and that is something saying. >>> and pluto is ready for its close up. nasa spacecraft new horizon is set to become the first probe to do a fly-by around plu

"the donald" touched down at the texas-mexico border.walks out of his plane. you're looking live pictures from the airport where his plane touched down in laredo. he will spike about the border and border control and wall he wants mexico to build and pay for. on fox and friends, he was invited to speak by border patrol himself because the president wasn't allowing them to do their jobs. take a listen to this. >> i've been invited by the border patrols.

one but that's going to throw a few clouds into the forecast today but high pressure over texas and new mexico will continue to provide us with pretty seasonal temperatures all the way through midweek and then we'll start to see the temperatures climb ever so gently with high pressure. 92 at the state capitol today. and a pretty seasonal summer day fresno. number wise in the 60s at the beaches it was so beautiful yesterday at 73. keep it at 68 to 73 degrees depending where you are along that sea shore. low 800s and as we take a look at the extended forecast you'll notice each day it's just summertime right here in the bay area after the clouds year, and up to the 90s inland. that's a look at your monday weather. >> we're -- we are off to a very good start. no delays via the golden gate bridge. doyle drive all lanes now open in fact open ahead of schedule at 9:00 last night. so that's good news for folks giving that a test drive this morning. right now so far so good. we'll keep an eye on that as the morning commute progresses. i know there was little confusion coming off lombard, so look out f

is a dry, rugged and in many places, desolate region, but make no mistake, the border between texas and mexico has been fertile ground for donald trump. >> there's nothing more important than what i'm doing. and i'm the one that brought up the problem of illegal immigration. >> reporter: trump traveled to laredo this afternoon for a tour of the border. border security continues to be a corner stone, trump's unorthodox and unapologetic presidential campaign, a run that began with this controversial comment about undocumented immigrants. >> they are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime, they are rapists and some, i assume, are good people. >> reporter: a handful of protesters followed trump during his visit and former texas governor, now fellow gop contender, rick perry, blasted trump wednesday, calling his candidacy "a cancer for the republican party." >> donald trump, the candidate, is a sore of division, wrongly demonizing mexican-americans for political sport. >> reporter: as the controversy swirls this morning, the group that initially invited trump to laredo, the local union representin
