Motherinlaw among the victims . She was not. Im sorry . Was he fired . We know he was released from the army. And wed have to refer to the air force on that. It was the air force. Where was the selfinflicted Gunshot Wound . Turkey, the head. Thank you. There have been unconfirmed reports that the suspect may have taken a hostage in the car. Its been floating around cnn and other outlets. Any truth to that . That is not confirmed. Mentioned. Apparently he thought the shooter might have attended the same church. Not true . Im not aware of the shooter attending this church. He had Family Members that attended. His spouse attended this church. Im sorry, commander, did you say that the grandmotherinlaw was not a victim . Oh, the grandmotherinlaw . Were not aware of that at this time. Earlier you told us the suspect had called his father. You expand on that conversation a little bit, tells us if the family has been cooperative, if youre interviewing them . They have been cooperative. And i r
it seems to have just picked a car at random and started shooting. that s also quite strange. i think another bigger piece of this is we don t see any sort of manifesto, if it is tied to this individual, there s lots of strange social media posts. but they re not really indicative of anything that makes a whole lot of sense if you watch them. so putting all of this together, it is not what you would stereotypically see. if anything, it reminds me of that attack we saw in las vegas many years ago where, when you get to the end of the day, it doesn t really lineup very neatly in a criminal plot, nor does a tie into some sort of revenge shooting, or doesn t make any sense from the perspective of the terrorist attack. frank, there are surveillance cameras were not working. how damaging is that to the investigation? it s not helpful. clint and i are both worked cases, too frequently, where the cameras simply malfunction or don t work. the good news is that there is
here, whoever this person is, it seems to have just picked a car at random and started shooting. that s also quite strange. i think another bigger piece of this is we don t see any sort of manifesto, if it is tied to this individual, there s lots of strange social media posts. but they re not really indicative of anything that makes a whole lot of sense if you watch them. so putting all of this together, it is not what you would stereotypically see. if anything, it reminds me of that attack we saw in las vegas many years ago where, when you get to the end of the day, it doesn t really lineup very neatly in a criminal plot, nor does a tie into some sort of revenge shooting, or doesn t make any sense from the perspective of the terrorist attack. frank, there are surveillance cameras were not working. how damaging is that to the investigation? it s not helpful. clint and i are both worked cases, too frequently, where the cameras simply malfunction or don t work. the good news is that
