"We haven't found any correlation", the sheriff said.
"We do not know how many rounds were in the weapon", he said.
Dean said investigators had not found any type of assault rifle within the bar. The sheriff said officers were told he might have PTSD because of his military service. Mental health specialists talked to him and didn't feel he qualified to be detained under the state's "5150" mental health detention law, Dean said.
Tom Hanson, 70, who lives next door to Long and his mother, said Wednesday that he called the police about six months ago when he heard "heavy-duty banging" and shouting coming from the Longs' home.
"Some of his girlfriends got out but they didn't know where Cody was, I'm sure he was there helping, shielding anybody that he could". This story will be updated as more information is confirmed. He said he was "dumbfounded" by the bloodshed.
The gunman was dressed in a black trench coat and wearing glasses when he walked into the bar filled with people enjoying a night of line dancing.
"But unfortunately, you go into the unknown, you know there's shots being fired, obviously the suspect was in there and ready for him", he said.
"Ron was a hardworking, dedicated sheriff's sergeant". Helus was immediately shot repeatedly, Dean said. Within 15 minutes, other officers arrived. As an American flag was raised into the sky Thursday, scores of people carrying their own flags gathered outside the hospital to pay their respect to sheriff's Sgt. Ron Helus. According to the Times, he called his wife before entering the bar.

Police said Long appeared to have shot randomly into the crowd at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, about 50km west of Los Angeles. Pepperdine officials said they were devastated to share the news.
He described them both as heroes who had "paid the ultimate price".
"I don't know what to say to the other people that are going to be going through the situation I am", he said.
"There were people hiding in restrooms, people hiding in attics", Dean said. "And we feel for the people involved, that it happened to".
More recently he was living in a home where neighbours said they could hear frequent, aggressive shouting between Long and his mother, especially over the past year.
The venue in the quiet, upscale Thousand Oaks suburb had been hosting an event for college students, with possibly several hundred young people in attendance, Captain Garo Kuredjian of the Ventura County Sheriff's office said earlier.
An unnamed witness told the newspaper that someone ran into the bar at around 11.30pm local time (3.30pm Singapore time) and started shooting with what looked to be a black pistol. "We'll provide that to you as we bring all our witness statements together and we feel more comfortable about talking about that", Dean said.
Reports said there were around a 100 patrons inside the nightclub when the shooting began.
