2. Killer is 34 yo man from Texas

he had a stolen/lost ID, they are interviewing the man whose ID it was, he is at home. Unknown if killer was former military or not.
Earlier reports that he was a 50 Navy veteran was based on the stolen ID, and were wrong.
via MSNBC.

5. He was a civilian contractor.

So I'm sure the car he was using was stolen or borrowed, since you have to have a sticker on the car. If you don't they move you over and search the car.

Several identification cards were found around the dead man, and it took officials time to sort out his identify, the official said. Ultimately, the authorities had to identify him using his fingerprints, according to the official. Three weapons were found on the suspect: an AR-15 assault rifle, a shotgun and a semiautomatic pistol, the official said.

“It’s hard to carry that many guns, so there is some thinking that he may have taken some of them from security or whoever else he shot,” the official said. “We still don’t know how they were bought, but they are chasing that down now.”
