To 7 00 p. M. Thank you. So, again, well start off with the Gilroy Police chief scot smithee. Good morning, everybody. So im getting more information that is coming forth on this case that were able to i release and when i release it. But i have quite a bit ofmore d to you today. One of the questions weve gotten from a number of sources is how many rounds were fired. And weve been able to determine that. The suspect fired approximately 39 rounds during the course of this event. And the Gilroy Police officers, there was three officers that fire, in between the three of them, they fired a total of 18 rounds. The suspect was hit by the Police Officers gunfire multiple times. I do not yet have a definitive finding from the coroner on exactly where the rounds hit him or exactly how many rounds only to say that he was hit multiple times at this point. The other thing that was important to us was whether or not any of the people that were killed in this event were by po officers rounds and weve been able to determine that none of the people that died in this incident were struck by friendly fire. They were all killed by the suspect. Ive also been asked about the suspect whether he was wearing body armor or a bulletresist and vest and that is confirmed, he was wearing a bulletresistant type vest at the time of the incident. Some of the information regarding his armament of weapons, how prepared was he, he know now he had a 75round drum magazine that would fit into the weapon. We recovered that and it had 71 rounds left in the drum. He had two 40round magazines on his body. He had two 40round magazines on the ground. And he had one 40d loose on ore near him. Im not exactly sure of the location of that one. I told you the other day thaton a 870 shotg in the vehicle. The other item that that generated interest was the bag or backpack or something found in the creek. We now know what was in that bag and ill go ahead and give you that information as well. There was just two loose rounds with a rifle that he had that were in the bottom of the bag. He had a scope, a rifle scope of some sort in the bag. A flashlight and a shovel and two additional loaded 40round magazines for the gun and then he had four loose buck shot rounds which would have been for the shotgun and that was the only contents that were in the bag. And so that is my additional detailed information that i was going to give today. Im going to turn it over to the fbi because i think they have much more information about the status of their investigation or what is going on out at the park. Thank you. Thank you, chief. Good morning. My name is john bennett, im the special agent in charge of fbi San Francisco. Before i provide an update i want to Say Something to the families of stephen, keyla and trevor. I knowing in we can say or do will ever bring back your loved ones. But i want you to know that everything that Law Enforcement is doing from a method cal examination of our evidence to our outreach to the victims and their families to our ongoing investigation, everythingn our minds. We are very sorry for your loss. The Fbi Evidence Response Team has concluded our collection at Christmas Hill park. We have now turned the park back over to the city. I appreciate the publics patience while we process the scene carefully, slowly and methodically. The crime scene was expansive. We brought in significant fbi resources from around the country to do this as thoroughly and quickly as we can. Now victims specialists continue to work with our local partners to support all of you directly affected by the crime through the Family Assistance Center. And i want to thank them all for their tireless efforts. Our collection and review of the Digital Media in this case is ongoing. We are continuing to access data on several devices. We have not made a final investigative conclusion into the motive of the shooter. However, we have uncovered evidence throughout the course of the investigation that the ideologies. We have seen a fractured ideology. The shooter appeared to have an interest in varying competing violent ideologies. As we continue to exploit his Digital Media, were striving to find several things. What, if any, ideology he had actually settled on. Who, if anyone, he may have been in contact with regarding these ideologies. Who, if anyone, helped him or had advanced knowledge of his intentions. And why he committed this specific act of violence. Much of our work remains ongoing. One piece of evidence does not necessarily constitute a motive, hence the need for a thorough, methodical investigation. The fbi and the Gilroy Police department involves ha investigators have uncover a list of social media that may have been potential targets of violence. These organizations f the country include religious institutions, federal buildings, courthouses, political organizations from both Major Political parties, and the gilroy garlic festival. Even though the threat appears to have been mitigated by the subjects death, the fbi has a responsibility to notify individuals and organizations of potential threats for acts of violence. We are in the process of notifying those groups. However, we will not be releasing or confirming the names of any specific organizations at this time out of respect for their privacy and their safety. Due to the discovery of the target list as well as other information we have captured in this investigation, the fbi has opened a full domestic terrorism investigation into this mass shooting. I understand that several people have questions as to why we did not open this investigation sooner. And i want to provide some Additional Information on how this process works. An act of violence alone, even a large scale and horrifying as it may seem does not necessarily give us the Legal Authority to open a federal terrorism investigation. A federal domestic terrorism case requires several things. It requires the existence of a potential federal violation, it requires the unlawful use of force or violence or the threat of force or violence and most importantly the existence of ideology motivation. Having a belief system, also committing having a belief system and committing an act of violence does not necessarily make that an act of terrorism nor does it give a clear motive. We have to determine that individuals ideology caused them to commit the act of violence in furtherance of the political and social goals. Were still working to determine the motive for this crime. However, due to the information we have found thus far, the fbi has opened this full domestic terrorism investigation. It is critically important for us to make sure there is no ongoing threat to any community. This case is ongoing so we cannot provide detailed information into our investigative activities at this time. It is important that we do this the right way. Finally, i want to thank the public for your patience as we continue to conduct this investigation carefully and methodically and appropriately under our legal authorities. Thank you to all of the organizations that have stepped up to help this community as the grieng now begins. Gilroy strong is not just a tshirt. It is who you are. This community has been incredible. We have been embedded here for come together to support one another and the Police Departments. And i want to thank you all. At this point, im willing to take some questions. The target list again automatic sorry. Can you run thrhat organizations were targeted and can you be a little bit more specific in terms of how it was uncovered. Was there a list that is a target list or [ inaudible question ] they are through the Digital Media analysis and we find what we believe are targets of interest of this individual and as i said, they are religious, they are government, they are political parties, both sides of the house, so again it is a fractured interest in targets. There was nothing that was all one side or the other. If i could follow up, was there a get to the point where there was a specific courthouse, a specific church, things of that nature . Yes. Maam. Were there any specific individuals names in this target list or what you discovered . No, no specific names. Was he a White Nationalist ideology. During the investigation, have you uncovered any link or rule out any links over the weekend . Im not prepared to talk about those other ones. So i dont have that information. The ideology that you mentioned, is White Nationalism part of that. We are still exploring those now so were not ready to make that can you rule it out. Cannot rule it out. Do you have any further evidence that he had any logistics or encouragement [ inaudible ]. No. Have you been talking to the family or. [ inaudible question ] we have been contact with th. Were still exploring that piece of investigation. It is an in to that right now. To follow up, was there a manifesto left behind. There is no manifesto. Any specific targets and you mentioned both political parties, how about in terms of religion . I dont have that information in front of me right now. I know there were religious affiliated groups. Was there any reason to believe he was inspired by other Mass Shootings in the past . No. Are you able to narrow down these institutions . Are they all based in the Santa Clara County area or across the state they are nationwide. Is there a timeline for any of the targets besides the gilroy garlic festival . There is no timeline. Is there any indication that he targeted something Smaller Group or vandalized something prior to this incident . Do you know where his weapons came from . Believe chief said they were purchased legally in nevada. All of them . The shotgun and the im not sure of the ammunition yet. We dont know that yet. Is his family [ inaudible question ] we cant talk about who were talking with but we have multiple interviews with many people in the area. Are they surprised . I dont have that information. Can you tell us what is next, after releasing Christmas Hill park does that mean the community could go back in there and what are the next steps for the fbi, how many agents will remain in the area. Were committed here until the job is done. We are going to release that back and we have turned it over, our evidence collection as i said is complete however we are still working with victim sees vendors to get the rest of their belongings out of the park. We anticipate that to take another day. But there is no m our evidence Response Teams have pivoted and have been reassigned to other investigative priorities in the united states. How many is the likelihood that you will come up with no motive . That is always a possibility. This is in some cases that an individual may never we may never see that or be able to determine if there was an ideology or not so that is a real possibility. Where was his place of residence . I dont have that information. Well have to figure that out. Is there any evidence that he was inspired by any specific people or organizations . The investigation is ongoing right now and im goio that right now. Is there any event in his life history that turned to this ideology. We havent seen anything like that, yet. And the locations that he did he physically visit any of them. Im sorry. Out of any of the locations, did he physically visit any of them. Were following that up now. And weve learned a lot in a short time about the suspect in dayton and el paso, why is that [ inaudible question ]. Right now im not prepared to talk about those on there. This is our the fbi provided police assistance, Technical Assistance to the to the Gilroy Police department. As i said before, you need several things in order for this to become a federal investigation. And that includes not just an ideology but the threat of violence and there has to be an underlying federal crime as well. Now the suspect is deceased, can you open a federal investigation, wha what do you do with this domestic terrorism investigation . What happens. Sure. This now becomes part of the po. We assign it to a particular squad and group of individuals and then now they have the legal authorities so send out subpoenas and search warrants under the police assistance, we were unable to do that. Until we have a full predicated fbi investigation open, now that that is open we can start cutting the leads to across the country to further investigate this and gilroy could get back to being the Great Department that they are. Youre looking for other suspects, other associates he may have had . Were looking for wherever the evidence takes us. When you say the ideology, you could explore as to looking into the motive and violent ideology [ inaudible question ]. No. Sorry. Is there any indication [ inaudible question ]. Im fed i save one followup struck by friendly fire or anyone wounded . From friendly fire. Not that we know of. I so ma and sh evidence i cant say definitively until the coroner and other investigative elements tell us what theyve uncovered but at this point there is no indication that anyone was struck with friendly fire. And how many times did your officers strike with gunfire . I dont have that definitive answer yet. Again that comes out of the Coroners Office and theyll release that report when they are ready and theyre not ready to do that yet. What do you make of the fbi in terms of the target list . Well, i think i cant say enough about the fbi and the cooperation and the resources t certainly beyond the capabilities of our department to handle on their own. As i think as the leads take us far as a then in ohio well, having lived through this, i can only know what theyre going through. And it is very sad that we have people that do these kind of things. I want to i want to before i close, one additional thing, the fbi is done with the park and the processing. But just for our local folks, of our community and people that may want to go visit that location, that does not mean that the park is open to the public. Because we still have a lot of a lot of people have to recover personal belongings and what not. So were maintaining a presence out there. Were keeping that part closed until all of the vendors and all of the people that had personal prop i get in remove their stuf. And once all that process is done, then well open the park back up to where people go down inside. Youve been watching a press conference out at gilroy where weve heard from the fbi and the Police Department there. Now the big takeaway here is that the we know now what a possible motive might have been for the gilroy shooter. They cant identify and pinpoint a specific motive but that he was exploring different violent ideologies neither the fbi nor Gilroy Police could specify what those were but through his social media accounts they determined there was a list of different potential targets, they were religious, political on both sides, government agencies, not getting specific more than that. But saying that there could have been other target targets in addition to the fill roy festival. Well follow this and we have crews there. Watch it on nbcbayarea.
