Reporter good morning. As the sun comes up here in the west, the memorial behind me continues to grow at the deli where one of the victims was killed. And were learning some good news about the five remaining victims in the hospital. They are now listed in fair or good condition. And while authorities continue to piece together the how and where this rampage occurred so many here will never be able to fully comprehend why. Sheriffs deputies widened the investigation sunday expanding the case from 80 miles southeast from isla vista to los angeles, serving warrants at the home of his father and the west hills home of his mother searching for more clues according to published reports, elliots parents received the manifesto and were rushing to isla vista while their son was opening fire. You had parents who were trying to prevent this type of event from happening. They did virtually everything they could do. Reporter police say rodger started his killing spree at his apartment. He then went to a nearby Sorority House with the intense to kill as many inside as possible. Denied entry, he killed two female students outside, including 19yearold veronica weis. My subconscious is telling me that shes still alive and shes going to send me a text or call me, ask for money, like college kids do. Reporter rodger then drove to a nearby Convenience Store and opened fire killing another male student. They were like hes been hit, hes been hit, theres blood everywhere, call 911. They tried to revive him, a couple people in here tried to help him, give him cpr and nothing was working. Reporter rodger drove off and began shooting from his car window, injuring 13 people.

He said it was quote, very very apparent he was severely mentally disturbed. Danielle, thank you. This morning the Santa Barbara sheriff is defending his deputies who visited Elliot Rodgers apartment just last month. The officers reported that rodger didnt seem to be a danger to himself or to others. Bob orr is here with a look at the evidence they did not see. Good morning. Reporter good morning. In hindsight it seems clear that he was a time bomb. He wasnt to avenge his social isolation. His familys concern eventually did bring the police but they saw no sign of a threat. Just three weeks before his rampage, Sheriff Deputies met rodger at his door. His family notified a social worker who notified police. Deputies say he was polite and courteous. He just didnt meet the criteria for any further intervention that the point. Reporter but the deputies never went inside rodgers apartment and there was no indication he had purchased three handguns and ammunition. He apparently had never been either institutionalized or committed for an involuntary hold of any kind. Those are the two triggers that actually make would have made him a prohibited person in terms of a firearms purchase. Reporter while the encounter did not alarm the officer, it alarmed rodger. Rodger wrote if they had demanded to search my room that, would have ended everything. For a few horrible seconds i thought it was all over. When they left the biggest wave of relief swept over me. In all deputies made three contacts with rodger in the past year. He was never deemed a threat but his neighbors knew something was off. Talking with him, he was a very, very troubled kid. Reporter criminologist jeffrey butts says the system is flawed. The problem is the Law Enforcement system should not be asked to do that to screen whether he is a threat to himself or others. That should be done by a clinician of some kind. I think california would be better off in f they used a combination of clinician and Law Enforcement official to make that contact. The most frightening aspect of the case is it could happen again. He had never been judged ineligible to buy a weapon so he legally assembled an arsenal. Christopher Michael Martinez one of the victims, was an english major at u. C. Santa barbara. His father gave an emotional statement saturday. Our family has a message for every parent out there. You dont think it will happen to your child until it does. Chris was a really great kid. Ask anyone who knew him. His death has left our family lost and broken. Why did chris die . Chris died because of craven irresponsible politicians and the nra. They talk about gun rights. What about chris right to live . When will this insanity stop . When will enough people say stop this madness, we dont have to live like this too many have died we should say to ourselves not one more and well hear more from victims family members ahead on cbs this morning. President obama returned to the white house this morning after a surprise visit to afghanistan. The president spent about four hours with american troops and their commanders sunday. Major garrett is at the white house with new information the president revealed about the future of the u. S. Mission. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. President obama worked overtime to thank military personnel stationed at Bagram Air Base and he told the country American Forces will stay behind in afghanistan after 2014. The big question how many of the forces currently in afghanistan will have to stay behind . President obama arrived to thank the troops and announce a key decision. In some capacity u. S. Forces will continue the fight. We can plan for a limited military presence in afghanistan beyond 2014 because after all the sacrifices weve made we want to preserve the gains that you have helped to win. Reporter mr. Obama said u. S. Forces will stay when the new afghan president to be determined in a june 14 Runoff Election signs a new security agreement. Both candidates have vowed to sign that agreement. Top advisers tell us the president has rejected the advice to remove all troops from afghanistan. Defense secretary chuck hagel hinted at the move in this interview last week with charlie rose. I think we have a presence there, should have a presence there. I think we can continue to help train, assist advise counterterrorism. Reporter that will be the mission. The question how many forces will mr. Obama keep in afghanistan . Estimates range as high as 10,000. Each thousand troops cost the pentagon 1 billion a year. And ive been away too long reporter the president brought Country Music star brad paisley along for the ride and he paid personal tribute with the troops spending 90 minutes to shake each and every hand of the military at bagram. The white house made a serious mistake on this trip inadvertently disclosing the name of the cia station chief in kabul when it gave the list people he was meeting with. The name was not been discovered but the white house blew the cover of their station chief. The station chief will probably have to flee afghanistan to avoid retribution from the taliban and may have fled the country already. Margaret . Major, thank you.

May we respect and love one another as brothers and sisters, he said may no one abuse in the name of violence. Francis slipped a note with the lords prayer in spanish into a crack. In a ceremony bound to win over israelis he became the first pope to preside over a wreath laying. An unscheduled pause at a memorial for victims of terrorism made at the request of israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was a counter to the popes stop at the security wall in palestinian territory yesterday. The most poignant visit of the day was the holocaust memorial. In an address that was in fact a prayer, francis used the evocative hebrew word in reference to the holocaust, which he called an enduring symbol to the depth to which human evil can sink adding i beg god there will never be another such crime. He kissed the hands of half a dozen Holocaust Survivors and listened to their stories of horror. The popes scheduled is packed until the moment he leaves later this evening.

Almost all the time. So if you want people being with you, you should be together with the people. Thats important. Reporter it paid off. Ukrainians by the millions turned out to vote in kiev and in the western parts of ukraine, it was a virtual shutout. Pro separatists paid a visit to donetsk, smashed ballot boxes and turned them into trash cans. Most people here said they felt cheated of an election. Others told us this morning they wouldnt have voted anyway. Poroshenko is not our president , this resident told us. These elections mean nothing to us.
