Sooo, he climbed into there specifically to off himself? Not his car, or any hotel room or anything… he specifically found the one unlocked container and neatly did the deed?
I’m not a tinfoil hat guy but this is weird. I mean weirder things have happened with an umbrella and jfk but this is quite the neat little bow.
He worked there. Looks like he went to a known location to hide out and off himself.
Other news say he was found in a trailer or shipping container, not a dumpster.
As far as I can see, only OP has said it was a dumpster. The article they shared states he was in a trailer truck.
Gnews headline:
posted before coffee. my bad
It was a trailer truck, but some news sites have called it a dumpster because it was parked at a recycling center. The gunman was recently fired from that recycling center, then hid in one of the trucks at the center before offing himself.
He had left a suicide note at his home, and he was fired from the recycling center where his body was found. People tend to return to familiar places. On top of that, he had bought the gun he used in the mass shootings before he was evaluated. It looks like he tied bow himself before killing himself.
watched too much TV. blame the gun lobby most of all
think I read he worked near there so probably familiar with hideouts. probably thought about what he had done while police closed in. CSI script writes itself.
