Authorities seize extremist material during a search of a Nevada home they believe the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooter once rented, a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation says
Police found extremist material during a search of a Nevada home they believe the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooter once rented, according to law enforcement source familiar with the investigation.
The seized material pertained to different -- and at times, competing -- political ideologies, and authorities have yet to nail down a clear ideology to which Santino Legan subscribed, the source said. The news came two days after police searched the same home in Walker Lake, about 100 miles southeast of Reno, and seized several weapons accessories and computer hardware. The home is about a six-hour drive from Gilroy.
Gilroy victim's uncle: She didn't know what danger was 02:44While Legan's social media activity suggests he had xenophobic or racist tendencies, a neighbor said he and his family seemed like nice people. And while former classmates said he didn't stand out, a Gilroy High School employee described him as a troublemaker who was"difficult to manage" when he actually showed up for class.
7-year-old boy on shooting: I thought I was gonna die 00:56During a search of the Walker Lake home, which Mineral County District Attorney Sean Rowe said police believe Legan used in the days prior to the shooting, the FBI also found several weapon-related items, computer equipment and an empty bottle of the anxiety medicine diazepam, also known as Valium. The prescription was not in his name, according to the FBI receipt of seized property.
