Saudi Arabia said that the 21 cadets were dis-enrolled and will be returned to Saudi Arabia. They said DOJ will have full access to anyone they want to invterview and any documents they want to see.
Shooter had 2 iPhones. FBI sought court warrants to search both phones to run down leads. Shooter had shot through one of his phones, but crime lab was able to fix them. However, they weren't able to unlock the phones without the password.
