This may be true, but we have NO IDEA what transpired between the gunman and his mother prior to his shooting her. We do know that he tried, a few days before, to buy a gun at a store and was unable to do so. We don't know how well she locked up her guns. We don't know if he killed her to get TO her guns. We don't know if he attacked her and she tried to act in self-defense. There are so many unknowns that may be resolved in the next few days, and there are many unknowns that we'll never know.
Speculation and misinformation has been popping around since Friday morning--things that are "confirmed" are debunked moments later. Remember how it was "certain" that the mom was a teacher at the school, and he was allowed in? Neither of these items ended up being true. "Close family friends" who say that she took her sons target shooting ended up being merely acquaintances.
