The sources told CNN that once FBI SWAT teams cleared the house, investigators came in to execute the search warrant, looking for items like computers, notes, weapons and any evidence that might indicate a plan to carry out the shootings.

Card, 40, is facing an arrest warrant for eight counts of murder and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said. State and local investigators did a similar style entry and search at another location, as well as a search of Card's car on Thursday, the sources told CNN.
