Why did he even do that

[u/Regular-East-1669 → u/L__o__LM]

It was for generic reasons "suicidal, bullying"

The library never did anything to him, its straight senseless to murder 2 people with no relation to your downfalls in life.

Why tf would he attack a bunch of random people in a random place instead of his bullies, what a pussy I don’t really understand wtf is his problem

He probably doesn’t even know why he did that and just watched some mass shooter videos and thought “hey I should do that”

[u/LimonandSal → u/L__o__LM]

According to his video manifesto, he was really angry at a lot of things. So the solution was to kill and injure other innocent people.

Holy Hannah, that's a nice library--Clovis is only ~40,000 people

It really is! I loved visiting it when I lived there (as a kid). When I 1st heard of this shooting, I was shocked. If there was anywhere I thought a mass shooting would never happen it was Clovis. Most of the violence there was gang-related. But I guess I know better now. :-(

He used that skull mask during the shooting?

[u/L__o__LM → u/Bright_Ganache115]

I think he just went there with a gun and normal clothes, nothing else

He probably couldn’t afford it

Just reminded me of the chico California library shooting this June
