hospital where most of the most severely injured patients were taken in the wake of that shooting on saturday. i can report now they still have ten patients here, one in critical condition, one in serious condition, and eight in fair condition. those conditions continue to get upgraded here since this shooting has ended. now, today, the focus is largely on the investigation here in texas. we know the identity of the shooter. we are still trying to understand much more about his motives. he s a 36-year-old white man, as you point out. we ve been able to learn he was recently fired from his job. what we re not able to do definitively is connect the dots. was the firing any kind of motivation for the shooting? of course, the first person he shot was a texas peace officer, someone who had pulled him over in a traffic stop. that started this running gun battle, the suspect shooting at civilians along the way, ending up at that movie theater. another question that law enforcement officials a
