He killed 50 people and wounded 53 others. Officials are trying to piece together information about the gunman and looking for a motive. And among the possibilities is that this man killed for ISIS. NPR's counterterrorism correspondent Dina Temple-Raston has been following the story, and she's with us now. Dina, thanks so much for speaking with us once again. DINA TEMPLE-RASTON, BYLINE: You're welcome. MARTIN: Now, law enforcement officials suggested that this may have been an ISIS-inspired attack. Let's listen to what they said. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING) RONALD HOPPER: There were 9-1-1 calls in which there was conversation between the subject and law-enforcement representatives with 9-1-1 dispatchers. It's my understanding - I have not personally listened to them - but it was general to the Islamic State.
