somalia has a large community in columbus. we are told the second largest somali community in america. we believe he was a student. the motive is now a source of intense investigation. there is reason to think authorities say this was a planned attack. i would add they say when the suspect drove the car at people he actually went up over the curb so there was no question, authorities say, he intended to strike people with the car. >> and this was done on purpose. we hear they are continuing to investigate multiple other things. do you have insight on what else they might be looking into? >> they have to button up on the claims. they want to make sure nobody else was involved and this is over. you heard about a gas leak in a building. it may have triggered a fire alarm. was it related or not? they have to do a thorough search of the car. they want to make sure there were no boobytraps in the car. they will search the suspect's residence looking for any indication of terror connection here. social media. what may have prompted i
