Devin Patrick Kelley, whom police have identified as the gunman who carried out the deadliest mass shooting in modern Texas history, sustained three gunshot wounds, police said Monday.

After a brief chase following the shooting, Kelley was found dead in his car. Police say they have since found more than 15 30-round magazines and hundreds of shells from the crime scene. Kelley had also reportedly spent all of his rounds during the shooting spree.

Although law enforcement officials were still in the early stages in determining a motive for the shooting, officials told CNN that he was obsessed with mass shootings on his social-media channels.

The shooting left 26 people dead. Police said Monday night that four people were still in serious condition and 10 others were in critical condition.

Victims' ages in the shooting ranged from 17 months to 72 years old.
