Did the truth ever come out around this shooting? The whole thing seemed very suspicious and the news story seemed to go away pretty quickly compared to other similar events.
Or I’m an ostrich and just completely missed everything to do with it.
I don't know what "truth" needs to be found. Shooter's dad was a diagnosed psychopath on the FBI most wanted list, seems like a case of apple not falling far from the tree.

I mean the rate of fire was way higher than even a bump stock would allow and the number of shots fired would have required way more magazines than was found with the guy. Largest mass shooting in history and we have no motive, no explanation, and no resolution.
This is my point. There is no motive. No explanation, nothing.
Personally, I don’t buy the “dude went crazy” story with all the preparation that he did.
I think the media waxes and wanes on their discipline about whether to give too much attention to high profile incidents, to tamp down copycats who are "inspired" by the "glory".
That said, I don't think anything was really hidden from us or you. A guy flipped out and did a horrible thing, there's probably not that much to say about it.
