The gunman was identified by CBS as Gavin Eugene Long. Multiple reports linked Long to homegrown hate groups. The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, said he belonged to an anti-government group called the New Freedom Group. MSNBC reported he belonged to a different group, called the Sovereign Citizens.

The Wall Street Journal, citing an anonymous source, reported Long may have been affiliated with an organization called the New Freedom Group.
