The gunman claimed he was inspired by the recent shooting that killed nearly 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand
The suspect, who fled the scene by car but surrendered to police a short time later, was identified by authorities as John Earnest, 19, of San Diego, the apparent author of a"manifesto" who claimed to have set a nearby mosque on fire last month and professed drawing inspiration from the gunman who killed nearly 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand.
Gore said Earnest, whose weapon apparently malfunctioned after the first several rounds he fired, had no prior criminal record.
