And that's all we know?

Seems kinda odd to me that this is all they're telling us, 2 days later. Maybe like I say there's issues finding next of kin for everyone, but ...

I am curious how many of the other 14 were Latino, but US citizens, or citizens of Central/South American countries apart from Mexico.

Not that it's not very obvious at this point who his targets were, to be clear.
