Posters on other threads have said that the "ISMAIL AX" may actually be "ISMAIL AK".

Following that line of thought I came up with these:

In August 2003, CAIR's former civil-rights coordinator, Randall "Ismail" Royer, was arrested on charges of possessing "in his automobile an AK-47-style rifle and 219 rounds of ammunition"

Portrait of a Wahhabi: My encounters with Randall Royer…and the “usual suspects.”

Senior CAIR employee Randall Todd Royer, a/k/a “Ismail” Royer (“Royer”), pled guilty and was sentenced to twenty years in prison for participating in a network of militant jihadists centered in Northern Virginia.

This Royer was operating in N. Virginia. Could it be that our VT shooter was affiliated with local jihadists and idolized "Ismail" Royer?

As Spock would say: "Fascinating".

This is strange “Royer” is a French Name!
