00:00
At this time, we have identified a total of 20 victims that had injuries resulting from
00:15
gunfire, including the 8- and 10-year-old who were killed yesterday.
00:22
Fifteen of the injured are children between the ages of 6 and 15.
00:28
Three of those injured are adults in their 80s.
00:33
Those who remain hospitalized need all of our support as we continue to pray for a speedy
00:39
recovery for all of our victims.
00:43
During the processing of the scene at Annunciation Church yesterday, three shotgun shells were
00:49
recovered along with approximately 116 rifle rounds.
00:55
One live round was recovered from a handgun that appears to have malfunctioned as the
01:01
shooter attempted to use it and became stuck in the chamber.
01:07
Our investigation is twofold.
01:09
First, we are seeking to confirm what we believe to be true, which is that the shooter acted
01:15
alone and that no one else was involved.
01:18
That the threat died with the shooter yesterday.
01:22
We believe that to be true, but will leave no stone unturned to ensure the safety of our
01:27
community.
01:29
Second, we are investigating the motive.
01:32
Why and how this happened.
01:35
The shooter left behind hundreds of pages of writings.
01:39
Writings that describe the shooter's plan.
01:42
Writings that describe the shooter's mental state.
01:45
And more than anything, writings that describe the shooter's hate.
01:50
Pure indiscriminate hate.
01:54
The shooter expressed hate towards almost every group unmanageable.
01:59
There appears to be only one group that the shooter didn't hate.
02:03
One group of people who the shooter admired.
02:09
The group were the school shooters and mass murderers that are notorious in this country.
02:16
The shooter idolized some of the most notorious school shooters and mass murderers in our country's
02:21
history.
02:23
There is no question in this case that this shooter intended to terrorize the children,
02:30
the school members of the school community, the parishioners were inside of that church.
02:34
So whatever label we want to put on it is almost regardless of the fact that it is very clear
02:41
that this shooter had the intention to terrorize those innocent children.
02:47
We have nothing in the evidence that we have acquired so far that would indicate that he
02:51
is a person that he did not lawfully purchase these weapons.
02:56
He did not have a criminal history.
02:58
The only thing that we are aware of is a traffic ticket.
03:00
He did not have any state-ordered commitments for mental health.
03:05
So of everything that we have seen so far, it did not rise to the level where he would
03:10
have been a person prohibited from purchasing a firearm.
03:14
The shooter did attend mass there previously.
03:17
The shooter did attend school.
03:19
And the shooter's mother was an employee of the parish previously for some time.
03:26
So obviously there is a connection between that shooter and this particular parish and
03:30
this school there.
03:33
I know there were dozens of interviews that have been conducted with relatives, friends,
03:37
associates of the shooter, as well as people, obviously individuals, witnesses that were
03:41
present at the scene yesterday.
03:44
I know we have not been successful in talking to the shooter's mother yet at this time.
03:51
But there continue to be efforts made to get that done.
