Six people who were wounded were in stable condition or released from the hospital.

Four more are in serious condition and 10 are in critical condition, which means the death toll could rise, Martin said.

The other key detail of Monday morning's press conference was law enforcement officials secured a video from inside the church. The video is being used as part of the investigation. Martin did not comment on what the video showed.

Martin confirmed the suspect, identified as Devin Patrick Kelley, did not have a license to carry, but had a license similar to a security guard.

Officials also confirmed there was a "domestic situation" going on with the family and Kelley's mother-in-law had received threatening texts from Kelley prior to the mass shooting.

According to authorities, Kelley was dressed in black tactical gear when opened fire outside the Baptist church before going inside and firing more rounds.
