The suspect in the mass shooting that left 13 people dead, including the gunman, in a Southern California bar Wednesday night paused his rampage to make a post on social media, local authorities report.
While Ian David Long's social media accounts have been scrubbed, he reportedly made two posts in the middle of the attack. Law enforcement did not say which social media platform was used, but did note he reflected on probable speculation about his mental health.
