UPDATE: Connor Betts, 24, ID’d as Dayton, Ohio shooter
The Dayton, Ohio, shooter is 24-year-old Connor Betts of Bellbrook, Ohio, law enforcement officials told CBS News, and a law enforcement official confirmed with The Daily Beast.
Betts is accused of killing nine people and injuring 26 others in a busy nightlife area in Dayton, Ohio, early Sunday morning. Initial reports by The Dayton Daily News, which purchased a background check of the suspect, indicate that Betts did not have a criminal record except for minor traffic violations. An initial sweep of his known social media profiles show no obvious link to any extremist ideology. Betts’ Facebook profile had been taken offline Sunday morning. The background check did also not show that Betts had a concealed weapon license.
According to what appears to be his LinkedIn page, he is a psychology student at Sinclair Community College who'd held jobs at a local gas station and a Chipotle. Police are still searching his parents’ home, where he allegedly lived with his parents and 21-year-old sister, as of Sunday morning. Local media reports that investigators removed boxes of evidence and have secured the area.Read more at The Daily Beast.Daily Beast Membership: Beast Inside goes deeper on the stories that matter to you.
