I will never understand the need people have to try to come up with a complete, coherent explanation and attribute cause, motive, hell, an entire personality to a perpetrator in a situation like this within hours and with almost no information. It's like you're desperate to put yourself in a position where you said something wrong and inflammatory and then have to backpedal while defending yourself.
I do think the authorities should be issuing some information just to nip this stuff in the bud, even if the information is incomplete or the statement just says they don't have full information but that the rampant speculation going on is not helpful to anyone, including the families of victims.
People need to suppress the urge to munch popcorn over the bodies of dead kids for a couple of days. You don't need to know the whole story right away.
