screaming as the horrifying ordeal unfolded. >> mommy loves me. >> reporter: the first call came in at 3:52 p.m. saturday. >> a child has fallen into the gorilla cage. >> reporter: authorities say the child climbed over the barrier, plunging 15 feet into the moat. the 450-pound gorilla cornering the boy and picking him up. at one point, the little boy moves away from the gorilla, but is pulled back towards him. he later props him up from behind and dragging him all the way to the other side of the cage. at 4:01, the zoo's emergency response team makes a decision to shoot and kill the gorilla. officials say a tranquilizer dart would have taken too long. the boy rescued two minutes after that shot was fired at 4:03. a similar incident at an illinois zoo in 1996 saw a very different outcome. a gorilla cradling this 3-year-old after falling in. the zoo believes the gorilla was

that the young army sergeant fired more than 200 rounds killing one people, wounding six others before being taken down by police. and we're now hearing from the gunman's father and his step-mother. abc's linsey davis on what the family says it saw and heard from their own son beforehand. >> reporter: tonight, police say it appears 25-year-old dionisio garza iii, the young army veteran they say was behind that deadly rampage, was in the throes of a mental health crisis. >> his family indicated that he wasn't feeling right and he left to come here and hang out with his friends and try to find work here. >> reporter: the shooting spree began sunday. at 10:15 a.m., the gunman shot and killed a customer at this auto shop, leaving the gas station in front in flames. he fired 212 rounds, even taking aim at a police helicopter, hitting it several times. >> get in your house. >> reporter: two officers were

was asked, did he raise that much, did he exaggerate? trump lashed out, arguing he's getting punished for doing a good thing, and it grew very tense. when trump was asked, is this what the white house will be like if he's elected, he had an answer. here's abc's tom llamas. >> reporter: in an extraordinary news conference today, donald trump defending himself, and unloading on reporters for questioning just how much money he raised for veterans groups. >> i sent people checks of a lot of money and instead of being like, thank you very much, mr. trump, or trump did a good job, everyone is asking, who got it? who got it? who got it? and you make me look very bad. >> reporter: in january, trump claimed he raised $6 million at this iowa event, including a million from his own pocket. >> we just cracked $6 million, right? $6 million! >> reporter: but trump's campaign manager recently suggested the total amount raised was closer to $4.5 million. and trump's own million dollar contribution? it was only made last week.

mr. trump, writing a million dollar check is incredibly generous. but the night of that iowa fundraiser, you said you had raised $6 million. clearly you had not. your critics say you tend to exaggerate, you have a problem with the truth. is this a prime example? >> no, i raised almost $6 million. some of it didn't come through but more money is coming through than didn't come through. the number probably is going to be when we finish it probably going to be over the $6 million. >> reporter: but that question seemed to strike a nerve because three minutes later, trump lashed out. >> i'm not looking for credit. but what i don't want is when i raise millions of dollars, have people say, like this sleazy guy right over here, from abc, he's a sleaze in my book. >> reporter: why am i a sleaze? >> you're a sleaze because you know the facts and you know the facts well. go ahead. >> reporter: because i ask fair questions? for months, trump would not reveal the full list of veterans groups who got money. he claims he was vetting them and today, he read a long list of those he says got checked. >> project for patriots, $100,000.

>> reporter: abc news reached out to all 41 groups, and spoke with most of them. some told us they received the money months ago, but others say they only got it last week, as trump was facing mounting questions about those donations. trump's exchanges with reporters today among the most contentious we've seen. >> you think i'm going to change? i'm not changing. >> reporter: he says the trump you see is the trump you'll get. >> is this what it's going to be like covering you if you're president? >> yeah, it is. >> reporter: we're going to have this kind of confrontation in the press room. >> it is going to be like this. >> and tom llamas with us live tonight from trump tower. tom, a lot of talk over the holiday weekend, as well, after a tweet from a well-known conservative who predicted someone else would launch an independent run in this race for president. tonight we have a name? >> reporter: that's right, david. bill kristol said there would be an impressive candidate with a strong team. tonight, abc news has learned that the name being discussed the david french. he's a constitutional lawyer, a war veteran. his wife is an author who,

interestingly enough, has co-written books with sarah and bristol palin. david? >> tom llamas on this campaign every step of the way. tom, thank you. hillary clinton, meanwhile, wasting no time, pouncing on donald trump's promise to veterans, but here's the question for clinton tanonight. can she afford to lose california to bernie sanders? the math is on her side, regardless, after all, clinton herself knows what it's like to win california and not the nomination. here's abc's jonathan karl, on the campaign trail. >> reporter: hillary clinton today blasted donald trump, calling his fund-raiser for veterans a stunt. >> he's bragged for months about raising $6 million for veterans and donating a million dollars himself. but it took a reporter to shame him into actually making his contribution and getting the money to veterans. >> reporter: clinton is fighting a two-front war. out in california, bernie sanders is riding a wave of momentum. sanders is drawing huge crowds.

today, in santa cruz. >> if we win here in the largest senate our country, we're going to go marching into the democratic convention with incredible momentum, and we will march out with the democratic nomination. >> reporter: the reality? sanders could win in california, but has very little chance of actually winning the nomination. clinton has built up a huge delegate lead. today, jerry brown, california's popular governor, endorsed clinton in a letter saying, quote, clinton's lead is insurmountable. a point echoed by california's senior senator, a clinton supporter, who suggested to me, it's time for sanders to pack it in. >> he ought to be able to read the signposts as well as anybody else. and if he did that, he would know that it's all but over. >> reporter: it's a total reversal of eight years ago, when hillary clinton scored a

big victory in the california primary, and we all know what happened then. >> jon karl with us live tonight. jon, we saw the delegate math. hillary clinton can win the nomination without california. but listen, the clinton camp knows that this would set their ultimately limping to the convention, would it not? >> reporter: symbolically, it would be a huge blow to lose the largest state in the union. that's why the clinton campaign has just announced, she will go on a five-day campaign swing throughout california, beginning on thursday. they are spending money, too. she may not need the delegates, david, but she doesn't want to end her primary campaign by losing in california. >> lshgts jon kaall right, jon with us tonight. jon, thank you. we turn to the deadly storms in the south, and the warning tonight that there is more severe weather coming and a lot of it this week. already record rain and devastating flooding. look at this image outside houston today. horses trapped outside the front porch of this home. in the heartland, meanwhile, a tornado seen tearing across colorado in the last 24 hours.

seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. msame time tomorrow, fellas!? new dr. scholl's stimulating step insoles. they massage key pressure points with each step, for all day comfort that keeps you feeling more energized. dude's got skills. new dr. scholl's stimulating step insoles.
