Former classmate says Dayton shooter was pro-gun control, ‘definitely leaned to the left’NY Post, Aug 6, 2019
Dayton mass shooter Connor Betts was a supporter of gun control — with political views that “definitely leaned to the left,†a former classmate says.
“He was actually anti-2nd Amendment,†alleged Bellbrook High School alum Will El-Fakir in an interview with the Dayton Daily News. “Definitely not a right-leaning person.â€
Betts, 24, slaughtered nine people on Sunday — including his own sister — with an AR-style rifle before being killed by police. He also managed to wound 27 others.
“I don’t know if this is the motive that made him snap,†El-Fakir said, “(but I think) he donned himself with that ballistic vest just to show people how easy it was to arm themselves. It’s pure speculation.â€
El-Fakir told the Daily News that he knew Betts for years, and he always leaned left.
“He never once spit out a conservative opinion on gun control,†El-Fakir said.
