The media is reporting that he had the receipts for the gun purchases in his backpack that he was wearing during his killing spree. Why in the world would he have the receipts for the murder weapons in the backpack?

Also, this guy was a 23 yr old senior at Tech. How many 23 yr old seniors still live on campus?

Strange stuff.

Remembering my college student days, you could’ve had a fun archeological dig at the bottom of my backpack by the end of a term. Stuff accumulates. Maybe he was a slob like me, and just stuffed the receipt in there and never took it out. Hell, I almost didn’t graduate because I had parking tickets that I’d stuffed in a side pocket on my bag for two months and forgotten to pay.

23 and a senior is a bit unusual, but not that much. He could’ve gotten started late. I don’t know if South Korea has some sort of compulsory military service or not, but if he had to pull a couple of years in their army after secondary school, that might put him starting college at about 20, and a senior at 23. Or he could be on the “five-year plan,” or switched majors, all sorts of things.

Strange, I have the receipts for every gun I've ever purchased in my billfold. I'm not sure why. Possibly, because they were gifts for my husband and I wouldn't want him to see what I paid for them. However, the receipts do list the description of the guns and serial numbers - something I'd like to have handy if any were stolen and subsequently used in a crime.

Maybe he bought the gun, put it in his backpack, and never took it out until he used it that day. So the receipt was still in the bag.

And maybe he didn’t take the serial numbers off. I didn’t here official confirmation that the serial numbers were taken off, so I don’t know if that story is accurate or not. I’m not saying it’s NOT accurate, just that I haven’t seen official confirmation yet.

It does seem that buying two guns over the last month or so would indicate a certain premeditation on his part though — but that is again speculation, and I look forward to learning more facts as the case is investigated further.
