Fox News called .223 a “high caliber” round. It is in fact pretty low as calibers go.
I suspect this young man has a severe mental illness. The mental health gurus decided about 20 years ago that institutionalizing sufferers of mental illness is not a solution.
Young men,in this age group, suffer most. They don’t like the meds because the meds result in a numbness that is uncomfortable. So they don’t take them. What they think is real to them and they act on it.
Wish someone would study the correlation between these mass murders and mental health treatment.
It isn’t firearms. It is untreated mental health problems.
If you can be in an institution for weeks for a broken hip, why doesn’t it stand to reason that institutionalization for severe mental health problem an option?

Don’t confuse the media with anything like facts. They wet their pants for incidents like this.
Leventhal just ran his mouth saying the shooter had an “M4-style assault rifle” and a “10 mm [sic] Glock handgun.”
10 mm? Glock 20? What’s that even used for?
Perhaps they meant “high-velocity”?

Why would it even matter, in a close range massacre. That just sensationalizes the situation, and reeks of a preamble to another gun control discussion.
I’m always amazed at how hard it is for the news to report on a weapon. Step 1 would involve asking the police what the weapon was. Step 2 would be to repeat the same information. Step 3 would involve paying a consultant to tell them if this was a ‘big bad-a$$’ gun or not.
