The shooter who killed nine people in Dayton, Ohio, had expressed a desire to commit a mass shooting and showed an interest in violent ideology, investigators said Tuesday as the FBI announced it is opening an investigation.
Federal investigators will try to determine what ideologies influenced 24-year-old Connor Betts, who might have helped him or knew in advance of his plan, and why he chose the specific target of Daytons Oregon entertainment district for the shooting early Sunday, said Special Agent Todd Wickerham, the head of the FBIs Cincinnati field office.
Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl said Betts had violent ideations that include mass shootings and had expressed a desire to commit a mass shooting.
Wickerham didnt say whether the FBI is looking at if the case could be treated as domestic terrorism, as the agency has done in the El Paso, Texas, mass shooting earlier in the weekend. He said Betts hadnt been on the FBIs radar. He declined to discuss what specific ideologies might be linked to Betts actions but said there was no evidence so far that they were racially motivated.
Meanwhile, public conversation around the shooting shifted Tuesday toward how to address people with mental health issues who might pose a threat of violence, as a woman who briefly dated the gunman recounted their bonding over struggles with mental illness and the governor called for more mental health support along with gun safety measures.
Investigators havent publicly offered a motive for why Betts, wearing a mask and body armor, opened fire with an AR-15 style gun outside a strip of nightclubs in Dayton early Sunday, killing his sister and eight others before officers fatally shot him less than 30 seconds into his rampage.

AR style rifle? What the hell is that? John Stoner and american citizen designed that rifle. Kalishnakov is a freaking Russian he designed the AK47. They arent the same rifle and the ideology behind their development was totally different. This whole bullshitz scenario is starting to piss me off. If the idiots in the media cant figure out the proper weapon terminology, why the hell should we believe anything else they say. Ive vented thanks everyone but this is getting old. The snowflakes love the AK47 by the way.
Why is the FBI involved..?
The shooter was involved in ELECTIONS?
Killing is CRIME.

Wait, he is dead correct? So we are going to waste time and money trying to divine his reasons for being a mentally ill nut bag? Great use of resources!
...and the BATF...babies and toddlers first.
Sorry Eugene Stoner designed the Armalite Rifle, John Gerand the M-1, and John Brownings finger prints are on lots of stuff. Kalisnakov was in John Brownings league just Russian. MSM reporting is trying to guilt trip guys owning AR15s. It aint working.
Everyone seems to be glossing over the fact that he mowed down his own sister. This wasn’t some random shooting. He killed 8 people and one of them was his FREAKING SISTER. Gosh, was it white nationalism?
Cue the crickets: NOPE.
Interesting how that mass shooting of conservative Americans has gone down the rabbit hole of planned obscurity, never to be mentioned again.
Someone has to make up the truth.
GOT IT. THANKS.
Oh yeah and Ilhan Omar (not her REAL name) if you're out there KEEP SAYING WHITE MEN ARE A GREATER THREAT THAN JIHAD TERRORISTS.. I mean, THAT'S not RACIALLY INCENDIARY OR ANYTHING..
The alphabet media and alphabet agencies prove themselves useless again
Still no answer from the FIB just what went on in Vegas that night or how the shooter’s wife knew what he’d done before his name became public.
Satanism was behind that earlier attack that was described as white supremacist based on a 100+ year old text that was quoted by Anton LaVey.
The Furiously Fast FIBbers
Antichristian isn’t a hate crime. Second murder by a Satanist in a couple of weeks and certainly not the first rampage killer to target Christians in ideology.
The FBI is the one suspected of doing all of these false flags. This is just an extension of fast and furious.
Much the same way they whitewash their own crimes...
Judicial Watch Obtains Records of 14 Referrals of FBI Employees for Leaking Sensitive or Class...
“Betts was a #DemocratTerrorist so the FBI is in the process of whitewashing his history.”
Takes one to know one.
Rifle used in Dayton mass shooting was obtained legally: authorities
Perhaps you were thinking of the El Paso shooter?
