I waited more than 20 minutes. There remains research and speculation regarding his employment status, mental health diagnoses, legal past, and motivation for doing what he did.

"Seems to be" based on what?

There are accounts of potential mental health diagnoses as well as previous encounters with the law. We shall see what the investigation yields.

That wasn't directed at you, it was directed at news agencies. I'd rather them somewhat be able to verify something before reporting it opposed to blurbing out any rumor or hearsay they come across just to break it first.

Based on this-

Describing himself as a Navy contractor, Alexis told police he believed an individual he'd gotten into a verbal spat with had sent three "people to follow him and keep him awake by talking to him and sending vibrations into his body," according to a police report. Alexis said he hadn't seen any of these people, but insisted they'd followed him between three hotels in the area -- the last being a Marriott, where police investigating a harassment complaint encountered him.
Read the police report
There, Alexis told authorities that the unseen individuals continued speaking to him through walls and floor, as well as used "some sort of microwave machine" to send vibrations into his body.
