Authorities have identified a Facebook post believed to have been made by the shooter around the time of the attack, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the ongoing investigation.
In it, the writer says: "I hope people call me insane... (laughing emojis).. wouldn't that just be a big ball of irony? Yeah.. I'm insane, but the only thing you people do after these shootings is 'hopes and prayers'.. or 'keep you in my thoughts'... every time... and wonder why these keep happening..."
I was sitting at an airport recently and noticed a man put a bag down and walk away. I sat there for what seemed like an eternity (actually only a few minutes) trying to decide whether to report it to the authorities or give him the benefit of the doubt. He eventually returned and eased my discomfort. At what point do we decide to take action? It is difficult and hindsight is always 20/20. In these times, however, we don't seem to have that luxury.
