Did they say the type of rifle used? We all know M4-type rifles range from $500-$4,000+ last time I looked. I think it's conceivable he bought it all himself. I did pretty well for myself in high school during the summers when I worked on a tree removal crew. I could've easily bought a few rifles, optics, and ammo.
Granted, I don't know anything about the shooter, if he worked at all or not.
Internet speculation I'm afraid. I didn't see the official story anywhere ... and I doubt it'll be made public in a timely fashion.
Probably another fault on my part, but I don't see many kids working at all anywhere. I had a real job when I was in HS too, but I was an exception. There were only a handful of kids holding down meaningful work, but it wasn't a great place to grow up ... so I know my POV is severely jaded.
What I gathered from others was that he was unable to do this by himself. Quite impressed by how his details (he's an adult) have been suppressed by the press.
