    That's interesting. It could have spooked him, and made him rush.

    This guy's a bit of a cook, prone to long "tweet storms", but he spends a lot of time analyzing video and photos. From the photos that have leaked, he thinks the guy accidentally shot himself with the pistol, after seeing that the cops were approaching:

    Follow these threads for the whole theory:

    There has NEVER been a mass shooting murder like this. Usually the motive is sickeningly obvious. It's almost as if this horror was the ultimate troll.

    Yeah. Even this guy's theory only goes to why he stopped shooting, and how he died.

    Motive? Still hard to figure. Where did the anger come from, and why did he direct it at this crowd -- which seemed only to be a crowd he was able to fire on. He looked into shooting at other crowds.

    Doesn't seem to have had financial difficulties. No apparent mental illness. Wasn't dying, or known to be suicidal.

    And, no record of him ranting and raving about some grievance. No manifesto. No letters to the editor. Nothing.

    So, who was he mad at why, and for how long, and why are there no signs of his anger?

    At no time prior to, during the planning and setting up of , or during the shooting itself did he exhibit emotional behavior. He seem to be a high level functioning introvert who did not enjoy the conversation or company of others. He enjoyed the finer things in life and being waiting on, yet had no use for fashion, status or fame.

    Interesting thoughts from Wictor. Boils down to, he thinks the guy accidentally killed himself (very much evidence presented to back this up) and he did it to get fame and outdo his bank robber father (very much conjecture).

    He did it to impress Jodie Foster.

    Too soon?
