Here’s what The News & Observer has learned about the suspect in Thursday’s mass shooting in Raleigh:
WHO IS THE SUSPECT IN THE RALEIGH SHOOTING?
Sources have confirmed for The News & Observer that the suspect in Thursday night’s mass shooting is 15-year-old Austin Thompson, a sophomore at Knightdale High School and the brother of 16-year-old shooting victim James Thompson.
Austin Thompson is hospitalized in critical condition at WakeMed, where he was taken after being capture by police Thursday night.
Austin Thompson lived in the Hedingham neighborhood.
Neighbors said he lived with his father, a handyman in the neighborhood, and would help on odd jobs.
Several described unusual behavior from the son.
”I used to see him at 4:30, 5 in the morning with a bookbag on,” said Lavarius Thompson, a neighbor. “Buses don’t run till 7 in the morning.”
Lavarius Thompson, who is unrelated to a victim with the same last name, said he normally works out in his garage, but something kept him from the habit Thursday night.
”I could have been a victim myself,” he said.

My walks with a backpack full of yearbooks. It makes the hills harder.
I bet he was a Qtard, sucking up all the Qanon lunacy.
That stuff has ruined many otherwise decent people.
I would say that Lavarius is truly unrelated to these bruthaz.
Austin looks like a mental case.
I bet he was on RITALIN!
Flipped negative? Columbo will see right through that.

Since the shooter was white, stand by for the Demoncrats to start preaching about gun control.
Left has a psycho look.
That’s about 90% of 15 y/o males.
Lavarius
Wait until his father gets home....
The real question is t asked.
What psychiatric meds was the kids on?
90% plus of the mass shooters were on brain altering drugs with side effects such as suicide and homicidal thoughts.
Kids are given these drugs very young with no idea of the consequences.
What I see in that picture are two kids who are unnaturally serious, tense, and unhappy. I’d guess that there was a lot going on within this family we’re unlikely to find out about. The shooter could have been the victim and cracked, or might have been the cause of stress on others.
