There are articles about this incident as the person posting was a public figure.
I also think he died later that year of “natural causes” at home, and that he was actually known for being quite a humanitarian. I remember speculation that he had suffered serious health and especially neurological damage from covid – and no, I don’t believe he was any kind of antimasker or the like.

How would people feel if he really shot a kid for ringing his doorbell? When he warned people ahead of time? Especially if he was later found to have an altered mental state ifrom health issues?
