Deputy Police Chief Timothy McCormack expressed dismay over the circumstances of the case.

"We have two families that are completely destroyed right now — our victim’s family and our shooter’s family," McCormack said. He described the suspect’s mother as "a hard-working woman" whose child had "zero police contact" before his arrest.

Police were investigating whether Ryan, who had no criminal record, was using a so-called "ghost gun," a homemade firearm that can be built from parts bought online that lack serial numbers. They said a total of six rounds were fired.
