The 20-year-old who killed three people and then himself in a shooting spree throughout Orange County, Calif. on Tuesday was a loner obsessed with playing video games, the Los Angeles Times reported.

A spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday that Ali Syed spent much of his time alone in his room playing video games. Syed was also enrolled at a local community college, where he took one course that focused on computer maintenance and repairs. Investigators are poring through his computer to glean more information, including his preferred video games, according to the Times.
