and firearms gave us a large amount of help. nsa came to ithelp. states secret service came to help. and the postal inspectors came to help. whether they were helping us direct traffic, whether they were bringing water to cops dehydrated of helped us go in that building and save lives, every cop from all thoseagenciee peoples lives yesterday. i thank them from the bottom of my heart from the anne arundel county police department. i would like tohank our community. one of the beautiful things about wearing a badge and a patch ine aundel county is we know how our community feels about us. ywe heard the last 24 hours. as always we thank you for that support and love. the business community is solutely at front a center of that larger community. we have had so manyhongs of love from our business community

n the area in the last 24 hour i am, as always, humbled and touched by their support. i can confirm for you at time that we identified theec su with help through other investigative techniques by using facial recognition tenology from the maryland image repository system. i would like to thank governor hogan for allowing us that help. hank the ike to maryland combined analysis center, its commanders and the state police for being so present in helping us the suspect. we were able to use that and a couple other techniques to sure we knew who the bad guy was. i will not say his name today. i refuse to do it. i wis n you wou do it, but i know better. he doesn'teserve us to talk about him one more second. thank you to the maryland mbined analysis center. there are no other suspects we're looking for now.

we have no reason to believe b anybody els the suspect was involved in this atrocity. we did recover the suspect's car after a lengthy searchnearby. we have conducted a search warrant on that. e can't g you much more on that now because we're still putting puzzle pieces together. we did also do overnight a search warrant in the 400 block of armstrong court, maryland state police helped us serve that warrant last night. i would like to thank them again. we did find evidence at the residence. i can't go into details about it, but i will tell you that it's evidence showing the origination of planning, things like thatn his apartment and ite shows what knew we would find, which is that we have one bad guy and that for his own reasons he close to do what he did yesterday.

we confirmed i think already that it was a shotgun used in th i will also confirm it was a pump action shotgun. it wasegally purchased a year or so ago. i'm going to close and allow questions with this, this was a targeted attack. we can't fathom why that person chose to do this. we don't think we have any more clear and present dangers to the citizens of anne arundel county. that person h had a history with the ann aroundal coaa -- a county police. we had threatening cments made. a detective was signed to investigate it.et thetive spoke with legal counsel for the "capital

gazette." several members the "capital gazette" staff, mr. marquart who had some comments on the news media,e was scheduled to be on that conference call, he did not call in onhat conference call, it was discussed that the "capital gazette" did not wish to pursue criminal charges. there was a fear that doing so would exacerbate an flammable situation. lieutenant frazier will be sending you the police report oh incident. we'll be able to do that in the next couple of hours. bear with u as we do that. we're trying to do it right. we're only going to get o shot at doing this right. with that, i'll take a couple questions. [inaudible question] they're trying to put those

zzle pieces. you're all good investigative reporters. you looked al the soc media platforms. there's clearly a history therew e not aware of that history until last night. should we have been? in a perfect world, sure, we should he been. we were not. we get at least a threat call a day. it's tough to keep up with them. i'll say this again, we lost a great tool a few years ago. it was the national conscience that decided we would not be able io use it made our job easier as it relates to following things, rases,reas on social media. [inaudible question] given theituation at the time,

i think the investigator made the call. the investigator involved is retired. i have not had a chance to talk to him yet. make calls every day. i think he made a call based on what he was presented. everyay we tal to somebody who doesn't want to press charges. in maryland, if it' a felony, we push. if it's a misdemeanor, a lot of misdemeanors go the way of not charging. so i have to say i don't feel the department was negligent in any way. [inaudible queion] >> i'll beg youro indulgence say this, we are not or have not been getting cooperation from the suspect. the suspect was scheduled to go o bail review an hour or so ago. i'm not terribly sure what

happened there. hasor now that windo closed for us. we'll have to do things a different way. [inaudible question] >> yes, sir. n]s, sir. [inaudible quest we still have to do a fensic reconstruction on digital stuff. we have not had a chance to do that. we did not find a written manifesto. that's the spirit of your question, i think. [inaudible question] this is how i'll answer that question. when the officers went in, they were going in there toze neutra threat. i think that became very clear very quickly. i think fight or flight kicked in in certain ways. i don't know why, but flight won for the suspect yesterday. >> he ran away?

>> no, sir, he didn't run away, but he hi [inaudible question] yes, ma'am. >> what's the total time frame here from the moment you were called until you had the suspect? >> within two minutes they were pushing in on the suspect and getting him cornered, notin le him hurt anybody else. to answer the spirit of that question, do i thinkhe annapolis city cops, county cops, and thenne arundel county sheriff's department saved peoples lives yesterday? without question. [inaudible question] eo sh so, what found was more stuff to distract people and confuse people than it was to introduce casualties. as far as devices, i will not

answer that. i will say this the fella was there to kill as many people as he could. [inaudible question] >> i've seen colleagues postings. iave not got than feedback from investigators yet. i have to be honest with you, they're hitting the point of dim minute shi minutisis minutish -- diminishing returns on that. [inaudible question] >> sure. maryland has a system that has come under som fire from civil libertarians called the maryland

image repository system. he analysis center ran the picture through that system and that was able to t identify suspect. we would have been much longer in identifying him and being able to push forward in the investigation without that system. it was a huge thing for us last night and thus for the citizens of anne arundel county. [inaudible question] i believe, bear with me on this, i'm not a pro, i believe it's driver's license and mugshot. [inaudible question] we had lag getting answers on

fingerprints. i think tha ws probably the unnamed senior law enforcement source who wishes toemain anonymous said that. because they read lag as an attempt h on part. we had lag. it happens. i don't know why it happens. last night i don't know why it took us a little longer through the computer system. computer systems do that. but we immediately didn't the luxury of waiting, so we turned to the help that we used. >> so when you were taking his moving ints, he was around or -- >> i can't answer that. i have no idea. [inaudible questn] >> 12 gauge. [inaudible question]

it's my understanding that we had the initial incident with social media platforms, and if it's twitter, i'll take your word for it. if it's instagram, i would accept o.that, we had the instances in '13, t then it w dark. my understanding is that very shortly before the inciden there were further posts. i could be wrong on that. to be honest with you, i have not dug that much into that. [inaudible question] in maryland, when you become prohibited, there's certain crimes. i will be honest, i don't know if stalking isthne of, felonies, then certain misdemeanors. .m not sure i believe he has a harassment

conviction, yes? i know he was charged with harassment once. that's the best answer i can give you. [inaudible question] >> felonies are automatic. there are se specific misdemeanors, and i'm not sure if stalking is one of them. i know domestic assault is. i will beg you indulgence on being circumspect on that. i think helanned it. i'll ask you to let me stay at that. [inaudible question] close. close enough where if you were planning it, you would put your car there. does tha make sense?

[inaudible question] >> we're not getting very much communication. i'll take t more. [inaudible question] >> i wish i could answer t question with clarity. i cannot. using statistics, generally active shooters are wanting t go out in a blaze of glory. i can't get in his head. i can't do it i wish i could today. one more ma'am? naudible question] them as haracterize minor and everybody is doing okay. if that makes sense. [inaudible question] >> what' the last one. the person who went to shock trauma is one of our fatalities, god bless her. >> there you have it. the latest briefing from police.
