18. The father called a youth minster who was a close friend

The youth minister did the actual deed.

The chain of command is: shooter confessed to dad, I think dad suspected already. Dad called friend (youth minister) and told him his son had admitted to him he was the shooter. Minster called the feds.

When you figure in the roommate who told about the gun and showed the feds the discord conversation it seems as if without the people closest to him turning him in he'd still be loose.
