boom, boom. something like that. three, four times i hear that. if i didn't lock the door, i think i might be dead today. >> and we have a closer look. enhanced video of george zimmerman. you're taking a look at it there. minutes after he shot and killed trayvon martin. showing a possible head wount. something that may support his side of the story. a small plane sputtering and spiraling into a grocery store in florida injuring people and sending frightened shoppers. did you hear, kentucky beat kansas for their eighth national title capping off one of the most dominant runs in ncaa history. >> it's one minute past w5:00 on the east coast and up first on the newscast, a possible motive for the deadly shooting spree that left seven people dead in a quiet christian college in oakland, california. it happened yesterday morning local time at oikos university. former student apparently opening fire on former classmates. the shooter has been identified as 43-year-old won gone goh. it's alleged he carried out this terrible spree. he's been taken into a custody. this an hour after the shooting. he was found five miles away at a shopping center. san francisco chronicle is reporting that goh may have had a dispute with campus officials that got him kicked out of class. listen how police described the scene on campus. >> there were several people hiding in locked buildings, locked doors, behind desks. as you can imagine, very frightened. very scared. some of them were injured so we had to rescue them out. we haven't put together the actual shooting incident in terms of where he went, that's information we will get later on as we comb through the evidence, talk to witnesses and hopefully talk to the suspect. >> thelma gutierrez is live with us. there have been so many varied reports about how this played out, what happened inside that school, and just what relationship this suspect has with the students. how much more can you piece together for us this morning? >> reporter: well, that is exactly what police are trying to figure out, ashleigh, is exactly what kind of a relationship he had to the students here. did he know them? did he have any kind of a grudge with these students? we still don't know those answers, but i can tell you that the community here is in shock. oikos college is a small christian school. it's a very quiet area. it katers to the korean-american community. people hearsay this kind of thing just doesn't happen at schools like this. but police say that yesterday this quiet school turned into the scene of a very terrible tragedy, a terrible massacre where seven people were killed. police say that 43-year-old one goh was in a nursing classroom. they heard witnesses say somebody yell out, he has a gun, and then soon after they heard this string of gunfire, rapid gunfire, and people screaming. they started taking cover, running, hiding under their desks, anything to get away from him. at one point one student in the nearby classroom actually went to the door. she turned off the lights, locked that door. goh reportedly came, started firing in that door but then left when he thought that that classroom was empty. >> it's so hard to remember the scene that we have saw today. it's like, unforgettable. you know sometimes you hear the fire work, it's boom, boom, something like that, three or four times i hear that. if i didn't lock the door, i think we might be dead today. we were just praying for the god just to save us. hear the noise. she was asking for help again and again. like there was nothing we could do about that. >> reporter: after the shooting police say that goh then stole one of the victim's car, a student here at the school, and then drove about five miles away to the community of alameta. he was in a safe way store where he surrendered to police. just a steshl situation. >> so, thelma, there are some reports from an unnamed police source that the victims included six women and one man. do we know at this point if there was any kind of targeting, if this was random, or what any motive might have been? >> reporter: that's what they're looking at, ashleigh, exactly what relationship he may have had to these people, but they say he was just firing at anybody who was in that classroom. in terms of a motive, goh lived with his father who was living in an assisted living facility for senior citizens. he had lost his mother and a brother just last year and was reportedly undergoing financial difficulties, but there's a lot to sort out here, ashleigh. police say that this scene was so chaotic and there are so many witnesses and victims that they say it'll be a while before they can figure out exactly what went down here and at this point have not yet filed charges. >> thelma gutd at this eraz is live for us. >> it is six minutes past the hour. now to the trayvon martin shooting. cnn enhanced the police surveillance video of george zimmerman on the night of the shooting. it appears to show a gash on the back of zimmerman's head which could support his claim that he was attacked by trayvon 345r continue and killed him in self-defense. on last night's ac 360 the martin family attorney had this reaction. >> is that enough to justify deadly use of force to kill an unarmed teen? and more importantly, the crux of the matter that we keep harping on, if he does not get out of that car, if he does what a neighborhood watch person is supposed to do, report it to the proper authorities and let them deal with this matter, then trayvon martin is here living and breathing and we're not here dealing with this with his parents saying why is my son in the ground and nobody's been arrested for killing snim. >> meantime, the florida state attorney says he is outraged at crump's claim that he conspired with the sanford police chief to not charge george zimmerman. the martin family is asking the justice department to investigate. we're live in sanford, florida. martin, is there an affidavit from the detective saying he did not believe george zimmerman to be credible? >> reporter: morning, zoraida. there has been talk of such an affidavit, but we have not seen it. we have made numerous attempts to get ahold of it if it does exist. it was reported by another network but so far that has not been seen by anybody else, which raises a lot of questions here. that seems to go to the heart of the matter of this letter that was written by the attorney for trayvon martin. that attorney has asked the justice department to investigate the events of the night of the shooting, specifically what he said was a meeting that took place between chief bill lee, that's of the sanford police department, and with the state attorney, either at this police station, maybe at the crime scene, but it sort of implies there was kind of a collusion. what they mean by that is after that meeting it was determined that no charges would be filed even though you had the lead investigator that apparently did want to charge george zimmerman. they want the justice department to investigate that. only a few minutes after that was announced then you get an angry response from normal wolf finger who is the attorney who says i am outraged by the outright lies dated april 2nd, 2012. i encourage the justice department to investigate and document that no such meeting occurred. so there you have the response and then the counter. it's a real war of words that has broken out down here. >> we were showing some video of zimmerman and that gash that he allegedly has on the back of his head. how is that changing the dialogue this morning? >> reporter: well, i mean, of course when that video first came out when we all saw it last week, the first thing you noticed was that you didn't seem to see the injuries that george zimmerman claimed he had suffered as a result of this life and death struggle with trayvon martin, but now after the enhancement that you see by cnn, you can see some indications of marks on the back of his head. is it significant or is it just backing up his story? really hard to say. it does seem to lend some credence to what george zimmerman has said, he was attacked. >> certainly raises some questions. martin savidge live in sanford, florida. thank you very much. now nine minutes past 5:00 on the east coast. there are three big republican primaries on tap for later today. did you know that we're still in the primary race, by the way? just about 100 delegates, not quite 100, are on the line from three states, wisconsin, maryland, d.c. washington, d.c., when they head to the polls this evening. wisconsin is the big prize out of all of them. there's 42 winner take all delegates there. mitt romney is sitting pretty. he's really ahead in all of the polls in three contests for tonight, but rick santorum doesn't seem to matter. he doesn't seem to think that's an issue. he says he's pressing on even if he loses all three of the contests tonight. >> it's rich with delegates and are strong states for us. states like texas, arkansas, kentucky, indiana, west virginia, north carolina, those are the states that we know we can get this right back to where it is right now which is a lot closer than what mitt romney and the pundants are spinning. it's a very close race and by the end of may we expect this race to be very close to even. >> well, you'd have to win a lot of contests if that's going to be a reality. that's just the math in it. certainly mitt romney doesn't see what rick santorum sees. incompetent stead, romney says a win in wisconsin could mean the campaign is effectively over, not just for santorum, but for his other republican rivalries as well. >> it is 11 minutes past the hour. so you know what time it is. this just in, the new national average for a gallon of gas, $3.92. >> what? >> it's dropping slightly. >> no. >> it's down two-tenths of a cent. that's the first drop in more than three weeks. gas prices are still very high. you know that. we're only about 19 cents shy of the all time high of $4.11. that was from july of 2008. >> do you think that's a fakeout? like we'll give you a little teaser. we'll drop it two ten-tenthtwo-. >> something tells me no. if christine romans is right, she tells us get used to it, gas prices are staying high. i hope you're right. >> i do too. >> number one, wire to wire, that's apparently how the sports announcers say it. university of kentucky beat kansas last night and the score was 67-59. >> i love those moments. >> look how excited. all that ticker tape. this would be the eighth national championship. >> love that. >> second all time. kentucky's anthony davis was named the final four's most outstanding player even though he only scored six points in the game. if you look at his record, he was a defensive force with six blocked shots. >> somebody in our newsroom said they don't watch basketball because it's no fun to watch. take a look at this! the highlights are incredible. look look at that. >> i hear that about hockey. >> are you kidding? it is a lot of fun to watch. >> you go to an arena it's like you go to a fight and a hockey game breaks out. it's exciting stuff. >> well said. 12 minutes past the hour. still ahead, a small plane sputtering an crashing into a super market in florida. have you seen the pictures here?
