What escapes me is this. He had already threatened people at school with his ''hit list'' of people he would like to see dead.
As well he rode to that bar to that district not only with his sister but another person.
And when he did the shooting he wore body armor and a mask.
So my question is while riding in the car with two other people did neither of them notice that he was wearing body armor was hiding a mask AND had an AK 47 with him?

While I'm no expert, I would have to say, those are kind of "red flags".
His parents’ Facebook accounts are active. Their names are Moira and Steve Betts. On Facebook, his mom posted pictures of pumpkins, family, Christmas ornaments, Christian religious statues and a graphic that declared “stop the alt right.” She labeled a photo of Betts and his sister Megan, “My loves.” His dad wrote on Facebook that he was a technical lead for a technologies corporation. Betts’ father posted about net neutrality and funny parody videos. He also shared a video that criticized the rhetoric of President Donald Trump. Here’s his dad’s post the day after Sandy Hook:
Connor Betts’ Twitter page is very different; he indicates he’s a “leftist” and rails against QAnon, ICE, the industrial revolution, and police. The page handle? I am the spookster. On one selfie, he included the hashtags, “#selfie4satan #HailSatan @SatanTweeting.” On the date of Republican Sen. John McCain’s death, he wrote, “F*ck John McCain.”

Have you ever pondered the idea that crazy people have political opinions too? You’re going to have people on both ends of the political spectrums, no matter what crime.
Let’s stop blaming it on political views.
This is somehow what it's become, it looks like some sick competition between the left and the right for bragging rights . It's not my team doing this it's yours neener neener. Looks like political hooliganism to me.
It’s sad, but what do they expect the political opposition do? Roll over and have their countries stolen, be intimidated by threats, violence lies and propaganda?
If only normality continued after Trumps election, or Brexit and the losers accepted defeat and this is the way democracy works, you have to concede defeat and try again at the next elections, not pursue and employ nefarious dangerous methods to reverse democracy
this seems to add points to "he was an incel" category
The gunman, identified as 24-year-old Connor Betts, was a member of Menstrual Munchies, a three-person band that performed regularly in the Midwest death metal scene, recently appearing as one of the bands at the Summer Massacre 2 concert in Chicago on June 29. Pornogrind is a subgenre of a fast and extreme kind of heavy metal called grindcore, which is known for its mostly dark, satirical themes of sexual violence and gore delivered for shock value. The band's song titles are explicitly sexually violent, such as "Preteen Daughter Pu$$y Slaughter" and "C*nt Stuffed With Medical Waste - Sexual Abuse Of A Teenage Corpse." The album art is equally explicit. One album cover shows a woman consuming feces, while another shows an illustration of a young woman's headless body chained to a bed, covered in blood, as a man puts his pants back on.

There is no known motive for the shooting.
He went there with his sister and her boyfriend and then he killed both of them.
I think it was personal and had nothing to do with politics.
"I think it was personal and had nothing to do with politics."
If that is true, why didn't he stop after he killed his sister and her boyfriend....why did he decide to kill more people?

id rank having a "rape list" as pretty incel behavior or at least a subtype of it ,but apparently he got back to "normal" after seeking treatment after his hit list incident in high school . here is a second snippit from above source
The 24-year-old Ohio man accused of opening fire on a Dayton entertainment district, killing nine including his sister, was once suspended from high school for creating a hit list and rape list of students he wanted to hurt. Connor Betts was removed from the classroom after authorities discovered a notebook he'd kept with a list of people he wanted to rape and kill, then skin their bodies, according to Dayton 24/7 Now. He also caused a school lockdown after a similar “hit list” was written on a bathroom wall of the Bellbrook High School, the Dayton Daily News reports. Chris Baker, the former principal at the school, did not deny the allegations that the shooter had written the list on the bathroom wall or that he was later suspended for the act. “I would not dispute that information, but I don’t want to get involved any more than just making that comment,” he said.
cops had a 30 second response time from when he first fired tell they shot him in the face which as a side note is pretty impressive response time
Biehl said that police shot and killed the gunman just 30 seconds after the shots began. "I'm amazed at the quick response of Dayton police that literally saved hundreds of lives," said Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley. Those who knew the gunman said they were not surprised to learn he had been involved in the act of violence. “I think this is less of a hate crime and more of an ‘I hate everybody’ crime,” Howell said. “I honestly feel more comfortable now knowing that he’s gone.”
the article near the bottom talks about "incel warfare" just seems its becoming at least a recent trend of incel like actions and beliefs in mass shooters
The Neckbeard Deathcamp band wrote on Twitter, “I did not know Conner Betts personally, but the midwest grind scene isn’t large and we spend a lot of time pushing pornogrind out of Chicago DIY. For what it’s worth men who cape hard line “””””left””””” politics who still treat women like sh*t are not exactly a new invention.” According to Vice, Betts followed their account on his now deleted Twitter page and was in other bands that are part of the “pornogrind scene.”

Do you believe snopes? It tends to lean left.
