A quick lands and groves test probably established that the recovered gun was the murder weapon.

Also, serial killers are usually not hardened career criminals, and therefore give it up pretty quickly during questioning.

sad, he obviously was a smart kid

The suspect:

[iowamark]

College graduate, working at McDonald’s(?). No prior arrest record. Just bought the Glock in October.

[TigerClaws]

20% of serial killers are black, despite what the media tells you about them all being white males.

It’s interesting to see some details change as the story unfolds, for instance, the first story I read this morning said he WORKED at a MacDonald’s. Now this story said he might have worked there at some point . . . It’s just a small thing, but interesting nonetheless.

“the man, identified as Howell E. Donaldson III”

Uh-huh. Now when do we get to hear what his Muslim name is?

[Hot Tabasco]

Sounds like he was a compulsive killer that wanted to get caught...........A weird ending to a series of tragic events.

[Deplorable American1776]

The gun was bought 2 days before the first murder at the gun shop I buy my guns at.

[Gamecock]

Wasn’t he head coach short list at the University of Tennessee?

[reaganaut]

Black, non preferential, non sexual serial killer who didn’t escalate? That is the trifecta of rare. I’m wondering what other evidence they have besides the gun.

[Neoliberalnot]

What color were the victims?
