GREENWOOD, Ind. — The data from the laptop of a 20-year-old man who allegedly shot and killed five people at a mall outside Indianapolis, three of whom he killed, could not be recovered, the FBI said. said Thursday. Herb Stapleton, a special agent in charge of the FBI's Indianapolis office, said in a media briefing that agents were unable to recover data from a laptop found in the shooter's furnace. The shooter, Jonathan Douglas Sapirman, 20, of Greenwood, left a laptop with a can of butane on the stove in his apartment before heading out to shoot, police said. The oven was on and set to high. Stapleton said the heat from the oven damaged the laptop beyond forensic analysis. Stapleton said the FBI is still analyzing a police cell phone that Sapirman allegedly fell out of a toilet in a mall bathroom before he opened fire in a food court on July 17. Greenwood's FBI and police are also analyzing his social media and online presence to identify possible motives for Sapilman's actions to uncover a possible motive for the shooting, Staple said. Ton said. Killed in the shooting were Indianapolis couple Pedro Pineda, 56, and Rosa Milian Rivera de Pineda, 37, and Victor Gomez, 30, also from Indianapolis. A woman and a 12-year-old girl were injured after being hit by debris, police said. Sapilman was shot dead by Seymour's armed bystander, 22-year-old Elisha Dicken, according to Greenwood Police Chief James Ison. Dicken's quick action was "genuinely heroic," Ison said.
