It's an upscale community, not known for crime. A lot of large houses, ranch estates, gated communities.

I'll be interesting to hear the boys (young man's?) story. It never fills in all of the why's - but I am interested.

So many lives lost - and damaged and changed forever - (the shooter's life, lost, too - metaphorically speaking, atm)

But we know that he hates the FBI.

Looks like the shooter is another white kid from an affluent neighborhood so he cannot scream terrorism.

Life is hard when you are a complete dumbshit.
