MSNBC Newsreaderette just said that the shooter had not been identified because he had no cellphone, no identification, and he shot himself in the face to disfigure himself and make identification difficult.

[That was the first I had heard of him shooting himself in the face do make identification more difficult.]

I saw that information about being shot in the face, not sure where I saw it. Either on Fox or here.

That’s the first I heard of that also

I love some reporter deciding on his/her own to ascribe a motive to why the guy shot himself in the head. It’s another example of what’s become an absolute orgy of second-guessing about this incident.

Just surmising here, but I’d guess the actual motive for shooting himself in the head was that the guy wanted himself dead. But that doesn’t drive any conspiracies or hype the story in any way, so we probably won’t hear that point of view.
