I can't work out if he is wearing a mask in those pictures. A sort of Guy Fawkes or rubber fancy dress mask. Might just be the blurring and shadows that gives me that impression though.

Had been wondering the same thing, is he wearing a GF mask, or a covid mask pulled down, or maybe he just has an unusual face?
Too bad he is 17 because now we likely will not learn his motive, on the other hand, he has been
caught before (allegedly) committing any other acts of violence. (I hope anyway)
