Wow, um, UNC shooter already identified apparently (former LSU student)

I'd still await more widespread confirmation as to the shooter's identity

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (KPEL News) -The University of North Carolina is under lockdown after a suspect opened fire on campus. The person of interest, according to media reports, is a current graduate student at the university but has ties to Louisiana.

(and probably other social media) was found quickly because the school posted his pic as a person of interest.

I read his posts (profile probably down by now) and there is at least one recent one that has an incel flavor to it.
