The counterterrorism unit is reminding that open areas like grocery stores and outdoor restaurants can be considered high-value targets.
"This mass shooting is a reminder that crowded openly accessible locations such as grocery stores, restaurants, and cafes remain high-value targets for a wide range of violent extremists and ideologically untethered malicious actors," the bulletin said.
They added that warmer weather and the loosening of COVID restrictions nationwide could give people new opportunities for violence after the cancellation of many large-scale events over the last year.
