Authorities said he confessed to carrying out the shooting and have released images captured from security cameras apparently showing him in disguise as he leaves the scene of the shooting.

The woman's blog lays out an elaborate conspiracy theory, which imagines that the founder of the extreme gore website Documenting Reality was operating an "FBI honeypot site" as a result of a plea deal with the feds to avoid jail time for running another website that that posted revenge porn and snuff imagery.
