Alexis’ father said his son was studying while working a computer job
His service appears to have been unremarkable: Alexis was given the National Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, two awards of relatively minor distinction, before his discharge. The spokeswoman had no other details on the grounds for his discharge.
In Texas, a former roommate, Oui Suthamtewakul, said he did not think Alexis had a beef with the military or the government, and that he “could not be the shooter.”
Suthamtewakul, who owns a Thai restaurant in Fort Worth, said he had kept in touch with Alexis via text in the four months since he had left Fort Worth for Washington.
Alexis’ father, Algernon Alexis, seemed stunned.
“This comes as a complete shock,” he told a reporter for the Reuters news service, then asked how he could reach authorities leading the investigation. The father said his son was studying and working the computer job for a private company.
Don’t worry about getting in touch with authorities, Alexis’ father, they will be visiting you soon!
Thanks for ping! Working for a private company...but who? What does this private company do I wonder?
“Alexis’ father, Algernon Alexis,”
