However, their tune dramatically U-turned when it became apparent the shooter was a 64-year-old white American. They couldn’t believe that someone like them would be responsible.




A user wrote: ‘This feels fishy. A 60-year-old retiree manages to get a fully automatic weapon and several hundred rounds of ammo and decides to go on a rampage at a country music concert? What are we missing?’

He was not aware of his brother having any recent financial difficulties, adding that he recently sent a walker by mail to his 90-year-old mother and collected coins when he was a child.

Eric said the family is ‘dumbfounded’, adding: ‘He was just a guy. Something happened, he snapped or something. We know absolutely nothing, this is just, we are dumbfounded.

‘We have absolutely no idea. ‘Our condolences go to the victims and all their families.’
