According to police documents, the suspect told officials that he "never talked to his wife or his family" about his plans, and that he had left a phone in a desk drawer with messages to his wife and children. His wife turned the phone in to authorities.One of Mr Soliman's daughters was recently awarded a scholarship by a local newspaper in Colorado Springs. A profile in the Gazette newspaper noted she "was born in Egypt but lived in Kuwait for 14 years" and relocated to the US two years ago.

After his arrest, Mr Soliman told police he planned the attack to take place after his daughter's high school graduation, according to the FBI.On Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the agency was "investigating to what extent his family knew about this heinous attack, if they had knowledge of it, or if they provided support to it".
