Where are the parents of this assasin?
I haven't heard/read word one about them.
You'd think that they might have some insight into the boy and his motivations.

2. He is 22. At 24, I was engaged and living on my own in an apartment.
He is a man.

3. I read that he was living at home with his parents
so it would be interesting to hear from them or about them.

4. He still has parents.
He didn't hatch.

5. How soon do they have to give their insights? It's still a little early yet.
If he lives at home and is mentally ill, then I'm sure his parents have been going through some terrible times for a very long time. Mentally ill people do not have "motivations" as we would think of them.

6. I believe your question has validity
despite the obvious boredom of some who focus instead on semantics. I too would like to know more about the background of this person, so the 'disturbed' rhetoric from the corporate media is especially frustrating.

8. Probably in seclusion, thinking "what did I do wrong."

Parents are like that.

In another scenario, he would have shot them and barely been in the news, IMO.

9. I feel for them, can you imagine having a kid who did this -
especially if he is suffering from schizophrenia - 22 is a pretty typical age for onset of something like that. They are grieving like the rest of us.
