And it was his mother’s kindergarten class. The killer went that school, also. They mentioned they think he had a problem with his mother.

He has a girlfriend and drives and labeled autistic?

Every mass murderer has to be labeled with a mental malady.

There can be no plain evil people.

“He has a girlfriend and drives and labeled autistic?”

I believe it was reported (earlier here on FR) that the brother (Ryan) had said that he (Adam) had a “developmental disorder” and I also recall something called “Asperger’s” being mentioned.

A google of “Asperger” led to this URL:
http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/mental-health-aspergers-syndrome
…. which provides a detailed (2 pages) but easily read explanation of what that is, which seems to be related -remotely- to autism but in which the person may be quite functional, even moreso than someone with autism (specifically).

If that’s the case, Adam was probably reasonably able to drive, etc.

Again, he may have experienced “developmental” problems earlier on, but he seemed quite able to plan this and execute it.

Still a lot to be learned here. I sense it will be a few days before the whole story can be pieced together into a “followable timeline”.
