| US investigators, who began a probe into the shooting by a lone gunman believed to be a Vietnamese immigrant in New York states' downtown Binghamton, are yet to establish the motive for the massacre, which left at least 13 people dead.
As federal officials from numerous agencies began what was likely to be a lengthy investigation, they were unable to pinpoint a motive for the killings.
"What motivated the assault remained a mystery," the ‘New York Times’ said quoting officials. According to the report: "Binghamton officials said the assailant apparently had ties to the centre, which helps immigrants and refugees with counselling, resettlement and other issues".
Local news reports revealed that the dead gunman, identified as Jiverly Wong, 42, a Vietnamese immigrant who lived in nearby Johnson City, had recently been laid off from his job with IBM. He barged into the immigration services centre in downtown Binghamton, during citizenship classes on Friday and shot 13 people to death and critically wounded 4 others before turning the gun on himself.
