No - that was a shotgun that was taken from him previously when he was suicidal; one of the reasons he was known to the police.

I've read they collected 2 rifles at the scene - don't know what they were yet.

Ugh... I misread what she was stating. Thanks for catching that Andy.

I'm good with not releasing the person's name. We need to stop making these people famous.

I think the media is responsible for making these criminals famous which then appeals to a certain faction of people who idolize them. It's hard to fathom that the Columbine killers, Parkland murderer, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, etc. all got/get fan mail. Their names should not be hidden from the public but their faces and names should be shown/mentioned briefly and later references only to the act(s) they are accused of.

With our current media environment that wants to frame any violence that involves a firearm a certain way they will bury the story and suspect if it doesn't fit the narrative they want, but run non stop stories if it does.
