She has a checkered criminal record and a history of mental health issues, ABC News review of documents and records shows.

Moreno, 36 , has used "multiple aliases," including " Jeffrey Escalante ," police say.

Suspected shooter's criminal history dates back to 2005 , with the latest case coming in 2022 .

Suspect's son "reticent to file the criminal charges against his wife because, as she is not a US citizen," the mother-in-law's affidavit says.

Authorities are now poring over all possible evidence to understand the motive and intent of the suspect.

Authorities have recovered some "anti-Semitic writings" which they believe might have contributed to Moreno 's actions.
