The police want to know who the man is. The police check street cameras. Witnesses tell the police what they see.

The police find out who the man is. He is 43 years old. The police come to his house. The man is dead. The police find the man’s mother. She is dead, too.

Officials say that the shooting is terrorism. Officials say that the man has strong ideas about politics. He does not like immigrants.
