U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Keller stated that authorities are investigating 'every angle' of the shooting, particularly how Elkins secured the firearm used in the crime. He expressed hope that holding Ford accountable would provide some solace to the Shreveport community.
Mexican authorities reported that the gunman, who killed one person and injured several others, had materials related to the Columbine school shooting, including books and handwritten notes referencing the 1999 attack.
