I still haven’t heard anything about his political leanings (although his being dressed in black does sound familiar and would explain why he attacked a country music bar).
this is what we are hearing on LA radio-
He was a Marine who had done a tour in Afghanistan as a machine gunner. Saw combat. A loner, considered sad and odd since childhood. Seemed to have become more of a loner after a motorcycle wreck that left him injured and taking pain pills. Was briefly married, divorced, went back to living at his mother’s house. Neighbors think he was suffering from PTSD.
