Reporting live in roseburg, oregon, brandi hitt, abc 7 news. A lot of people are wondering are interest any clues the gunman may have left behind that would explain a motive . Reporter weve been learning new details over the last 24 hours. Sources tell abc news, several sources, that the gunman left behind a thumb drive and some papers with someone son campus before the shooting and that the messages were hate filled when they were asked about a description of what the content was. Also online investigators are looking into several posts they believe may be from the gunman. He had a fascination with Mass Shootings according to our sources and in one post its believed that he wrote something to the effect that im paraphrasing here it appears the more people you kill the more you are in the limelight. Just a really dark idea to think about that. Also our team outside of his apartment, which is roughly about two miles from here, he lived there with his mother, they say they talked to neighbors who watched him over the last 24 hours leading up to the shooting spree take out a bunch of trash and dump bins into the garbage so likely investigators have been combing that area and are digging through that trash and hopefully finding clues there, chris.

Reporter the roseburg indians were supposed to play a Big High School Football Game at home against sheldon, but it was not to be. No friday night lights. Game canceled. Nothing to cheer about. No, nobody is cheering. Our thoughts are all with the families. Reporter that has become a uniform refrain in this small city of 22000 people. Its just large enough to disappear in and just small enough that in times like this people band together. I just cant believe that it that such a horrible thing happened for no apparent reason. Its just its just senseless. They work hard and dont want this kind of attention. Reporter though now they have it like it or not. Roseburg did not want to become a symbol, but with much of the world focused here thats become unavoidable. Why does this keep happening in america . Reporter frankly, those are questions roseburg does not want to answer right now. Instead roseburg wants to grieve for friends, for neighbors. Or in the case of crystal mogden her nextdoor neighbor 19yearold use ra ak raz who wanted to be a nurse. Its heart breaking, we have heard them crying and i didnt really think it hit this close to home. Reporter but it has and in such a seemingly quiet innocent place.

There is fog anywhere from 4 to 6 mile visibility from the coast, sfo up to the north. Im showing new perspective because this is where the upper level low is and that will be traveling down parallel to the coast today, its pretty much a dry low, not as moist as the one we saw last week but there still could be a chance of a shower. Look at the fog from mt. Tam where the winds will be gusty today. 56 oakland, 55 san jose, halfmoon bay about the same, mid 60s, but cooling over in the east bay, emeryville sunny and calm right now, but things will get active throughout the afternoon and evening in terms of the white caps on the bay and the windy conditions, high fire danger. 57 livermore.

Have a great weekend, everybody, im larry beil. So the giants at at t park this afternoochblt whats the weather going to be like . Breezy, lots of sunshine, upper 60s by about 1 00 and the winds will be kicking up throughout the day. In the Higher Elevations we could have some trouble and high fire danger kicks in with a very dry conditions. Radar showing humidity in the form of the low cloud deck that is with us across the bay, its this upper level low in western canada thats going to drop down to the south and allow for the gusty winds and drying conditions throughout the day today. Mt. Tam will be breezy and gusty by dinnertime. Right now its 61 oakland, San Francisco 57, 54 morgan hill, emeryville looks like pretty good visibility here and this will get quite choppy disrupted later on today with the winds, we will see 60 in fairfield right now and temperatures for you as much as 10 degrees cooler for concord, livermore, fairfield, even up in the north bay you were well into the 80s yesterday, the cool down has begun compliments of the low clouds, fog, on shore push. Today the winds will shift to a north northeasterly component. That brings the high fire danger and, in fact, some trouble with the possibility of some trees and branches being toppled with the dry parched conditions with the soil and that means we could see fire starts and rapid fire growth. Be very careful out there. A fallish week ahead, more dry conditions and a warm up by the end of the week. So the highlighted areas above 1,000 people, marin, sonoma, particularly napa county into contra costa and Alameda County and we talked about the winds. Dangerous right in through 10 00 tomorrow morning. We should see the winds today continue to kick up by the afternoon. 35 mile per hour wind gust point reyes. 21 mile an hour winds from oakland, halfmoon bay and it will continue throughout the evening hours. Its going to be very gusty out there and the reason being is an area of low pressure with not a lot of moisture. This is the one that brought the bonus rain to the east bay, the south bay last week, this is dry and it brings the wind and td atmosphere will be quite, quite dry through tomorrow but we will look for the possibility of a few sprinkles south of monterey, maybe santa cruz, further south, though t gets more organized, picks up more moisture and it looks like from, say, San Luis Obispo to ocean side they could see some rain.
