The suspect has not yet been identified. I will post the profile of these shooters, which I have compiled from previous incidents:
--Friends may notice abrupt changes in mood in the days and weeks before the shooting. He may have complained that lately he has experienced strange and vivid dreams of a violent nature.
--He will be dressed in all black and/or camoflage, oftentimes with a black trenchcoat.
--Eyewitnesses at the scene will say the shooter was 'like a robot,' or that there were a totally blank expression on his face.
--The media will paint him as a loner, but he will in fact have a circle of friends or be part of a clique.
--Extra ammo/guns/bombs will be found at his home and in his auto(this to 'close the circle' of guilt in the public's mind). The guns will have been legally acquired by the shooter or a close relative/neighbor. He will have brought an excessive quantity of ammunition to the scene. (This is so that, if he has 200rounds of ammo, people will think "Wow, he must have wanted to kill 200 people. What a nut!")
--Literature and/or videos about Adolph Hitler, Charles Manson(infamous American cult leader), or the Columbine killers will be found amongst his possessions.
--He will be computer-savvy, and likely left an online presence. He may have left some kind of manifesto, though it will be incomprehensible/nonsensical for the most part. He will have hinted at what he had planned, but the name of the target itself will not be mentioned.
--He will probably have been a player of violent video games, and will have been a fan of violence-themed movies. He will have produced his own videos in which he is seen with his weapons or expressing his hatred and/or violence.
--He will have a strong interest in weapons--guns, knives, swords, bombs--or the military.
--He will have had contact with a military recruiter or he will have spent some time in the military before being seperated under murky circumstances.
--There is a good chance he will have been active in "Live Action Role Playing"(LARP) games. Or he will have been a player in "Airsoft"/paintball games.
--He will have been mentally "treated" at some point by a counselor, psychologist, or a psychiatrist. And this shrink will likely remain unidentified and will NEVER be interviewed, even though he is perhaps best positioned to tell us what the motive is. The shooter may also may have taken "anger management" sessions.
--He will have a history of taking SSRIs(selective seritonin reuptake inhibitors).
--There is some likelihood that he was institutionalized or hospitalized at some point before the attack. At any rate there will gaps in the timeline where police cannot account for his whereabouts.
--He probably had some contact with the police/law enforcement before the shooting.
--He might have been involved with Satanism or other strange occultic-type religions.
--If he survived the assault, he will be unable to explain why he did what he did. He may claim that 'voices' in his head told him to do it. Or he may not even remember the act at all. But whether the shooter lives or dies, motive will always remain a mystery.
--He will NOT have acted alone. There is a good possibility others were shooting also; or at the very least others will have encouraged him and helped plan the attack and get weapons.
--Afterwards, the politicians will call for increased laws against gun ownership, more armed security personnel everywhere, and metal detectors at the school/mall.

Now do you see what I mean about the AR? An AR Is extremely easy to aim, even if you have never touched one in your life.
