I was mulling over the idea of this case vs mass shooter today while running errands.
There is only 1x target so definitionally it can't be "mass".
To my mind it is somewhat of a puzzle, why he would do this, and only go for 1x target. Since he seems to have had no cover story or way to get out of it. Why not just go to speech this guy was supposed to give and find a few more viable targets? Surely if you are willing to go this far with no escape plan... I guess it depends on what this guy's precise motivations were.
He also didn't have any kind of "suicide by cop" thing going on, which the mass shooters love because it removes them from any kind of accountability. Eventually we'll learn if he thought he'd get away with it. Mass shooters never think they're gonna get away with it.
I know this is just speculation but I feel like he spent a long time building up to and planning this, got out of the city and kinda just didn’t know what to do next?
Not sure if he wanted to be caught, but keeping the weapon, IDs, and manifesto with him definitely point to that
It's the reason I initially was getting tin foil hat about whether he was a fall guy. My current best guess to explain the discrepancy is that he was basically wavering back and forth on trying to get away Scott free or fully martyr himself.
