If this was one of those “weird kid on Zoloft” stories, I got good money that he destroyed his hard drive before opening fire. That erases the path back to the people who encouraged him.
Might indeed be a weird kid on Zoloft. Rockford looks like a wholesome little place , not prosperous, but people look respectable . I do have a friend who has lived there all his life. But come to think of it, he lost two of his three children to drugs and alcohol. They were adults when they died.
Rockford is on the road between Spokane and Coeur d’Alene tribal lands and casino, so that is definitely a well-traveled road. Probably ideal for dealers who might sell to gamblers coming through in the middle of the night flush with cash. I had an Indian friend who intimated as much.
