Home of Suspect in Texas Shooting Searched

 


U.S. federal authorities are investigating two men killed by police in Texas after the men shot a security guard outside a free speech event.
Police officials said the shooters were roommates Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, of Arizona. Court documents show that Simpson had been under surveillance since 2006 and convicted in 2010 of lying to FBI agents over his desire to join violent jihad in Somalia.
FBI agents and police searched the two men's home in Phoenix, cordoning off the apartment complex and evacuating residents for several hours.

Officials were searching the Phoenix, Arizona, apartment Monday of one of two men. The two men have not been named, but news reports identified one of the men as Elton Simpson, who was reportedly known to authorities and has been the subject of a terror investigation.
Joe Harn, a spokesman for the Garland, Texas, police department, said Monday that while the motivation for the attack remains unknown, "obviously they were there to shoot people." Police found ammunition and luggage in the attackers' car, but no bombs despite initial suspicions.
