The Instagram user, apparently a minor female from the Los Angeles area, claims the shooter direct messaged her some cryptic notes, according to TMZ and the screenshots obtained by the Daily Caller. She was also tagged in a story highlight from the shooter which featured what appear to be two semi-automatic rifles, but she reportedly had no idea why the suspect reached out to her in the first place, TMZ noted.
The user shared the screenshots of the shooter’s direct messages to her personal Instagram story.
Multiple classmates of the suspect confirmed that the account “salv8dor_” belonged to the gunman, CNN reported. The account appears to have been taken offline since the images were shared online. (RELATED: ‘Hard To Think’: Trump Responds To Texas Mass Shooting)
