LAFAYETTE, La.—Police on Saturday thanked the many people calling in tips about John Russell Houser as they worked to reconstruct his movements before he killed two people, wounded nine and then committed suicide inside a movie theater.
They are still interviewing victims and witnesses and studying his cell phone records, internet postings and other contacts, trying to establish what prompted the right-wing extremist with a long history of erratic behavior and violent threats to open fire.
“Our intelligence section is still analyzing a lot of that,” Lafayette Police Col. Paul Mouton said, adding that many people “feel they have had some sort of contact or run in with this individual.”
