They collected items connected to the investigation and left the rest.

"We have no idea who the person was or anything about him," said Kuech.

Leaving behind questions of what went on inside when the gunman went to work that day.

"That's what really didn't seem right that was two months ago he bought a house and can't have been that he was planning this out far in advance or anything like that," Foster said.

With no criminal record, or record with local law enforcement, the shooting is leaving behind questions that may not get answered.

"He lost his life but none of the people he attacked have been killed so just add us to another community that's been affected by this," said Foster.

Police say Tong acted alone. He did not have a conceal and carry permit from Wisconsin.
