In the days following the shooting, officials worked long hours to move the bodies of victims, identify them and notify their families, offering some closure after the nation’s second-deadliest mass shooting so far this year.Su’s voice shook at times as he explained how employees put in days of overtime to complete their investigation. It was important to provide closure to families and information to the public, he said.
Weekends are typically light in the medical examiner’s office, Su said. Earlier in the day on May 6, he had received one homicide from an unrelated incident.Realizing the gravity of the situation, Su said he began preparing to take the bodies as field agents worked to transport them from the mall. In addition to the eight victims, the office also received the body of the gunman.
Some victims could be identified visually or were carrying identification. The FBI provided on-site digital fingerprint scanning, which made the process easier, he said.
