Šef policije Boiseja Ryan Lee je na novinarski konferenci po napadu povedal, da je med ranjenimi tudi policist. Ta je bil lažje ranjen in so ga že odpustili iz bolnišnice, strelec pa je bil v ponedeljek zvečer v kritičnem stanju. Lee je dejal, da je šlo le za enega strelca, o motivu za napad pa ni želel ugibati.

Policija ni objavila podatkov o osumljencu, prav tako ne o žrtvah in ranjenih. Lee je dejal, da preiskujejo še en kraj zločina v restavraciji blizu nakupovalnega centra The Boise Towne Square, ki je največji nakupovalni center v največjem mestu Idaha.

Policisti so po napadu izpraznili nakupovalni center in iskali še druge morebitne žrtve.

Na napad se je na Twitterju odzval guverner zvezne države Idaho Brad Little, ki je sporočil, da je strelski napad v nakupovalnem centru v Boiseju "nedoumljiv".
