Authorities identified the shooter, a 24-year-old white male, as Connor Betts of Bellbrook, a Dayton suburb. He opened fire at a bar in the city’s bustling neighborhood in the early hours of Sunday, killing nine people, including six African-Americans, and wounding 14 more.

“Just based on where we’re at now we are not seeing any indication of race being a motive,” Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl said on Monday, adding that 11 victims are still in the hospital.

The gunman managed to shoot at least 41 rounds during his less than one-minute rampage before being shot by police. The attacker may have been carrying up to 250 bullets with him, presuming all of his magazines were full, the official said.

The attack on a Dayton bar occurred just hours after another mass shooting that occurred in El Paso, Texas. A 21-year-old suspect armed with an AK-style rifle, stormed a local Walmart, killing at least 22 and injuring around 30 people before surrendering to police.

Authorities say they have not identified the motive behind the Ohio shooting.
