Rodriguez said the shooter was Ryan Louis Mosqueda, 27, of Michigan. Police say he was killed when Border Patrol returned fire. Mosqueda did not enter the building, police said.

Rodriguez added Mosqueda had additional weapons and ammunition beyond what he was carrying.

Investigators are still trying to determine a motive.

Mosqueda's car had "Cordis Die" painted on it, possibly a reference to a mission in some Call of Duty video games, but Rodriguez said he wasn't able to explain a connection between the phrase and the shooting.
