The shooter, identified by authorities as 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White, "died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound," the bureau's director, Chris Hosey, said Tuesday at a news conference. Hosey added that White fired nearly 200 rounds of ammunition at the headquarters, and that authorities recovered five guns and "over 500 shell casings" from the scene. He also said that authorities had recovered "written documentation that expressed the shooter’s discontent with the COVID-19 vaccinations" from White's home.
