It's part of a long online trail prosecutors say 24-year-old Randy Stair left just before the killing at a Weis Market in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania.

State police say it remains unclear why 24-year-old Randy Stair, of Dallas, shot the others and himself in a Weis Market shortly before 1 a.m. Thursday.

According to CBS News, one witness escaped unharmed.

State police confirm images from a YouTube channel Stair used to post anime videos. "I think he had longstanding mental health issues that resulted in this frightful tragedy". State police also took two notebooks, his drawings and cartoons, external hard drives, a flash drive, a computer and a camera.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families", said his mother, Lori Ann Stair.

Police say Stair fired random shots inside the store before shooting himself in the head.

"If you see someone or know someone who is making veiled threats online or is acting suspicious, please call the police", Mitchell said. "Speaking from before and beyond the grave".

It begins with a bitter narrative about his frustration over not getting help or the response he wanted to produce the film.

5 key takeaways from Attorney General Jeff Sessions's testimony
Sessions says he was there for a speech by then-candidate Donald Trump and members of Sessions' staff also were there. In one tense exchange, Ron Wyden , D-Ore., said, "I believe the American people have had it with stonewalling".

"The girl in me is clawing to get out", he wrote. Then he locked the main doors, which he had also blocked with a pallet loaded with full cardboard boxes.

"Victoria would only order pizza if I made it, she was really a nice girl and it's just, I'm heartbroken for the families and friends, it's so hard", said Corissa Rice of Plains Township. A 37-minute video posted on May 11 on one account allegedly lays out Stair's plan of attack. "There is no question social media played a role in this tragedy".

Jeff Mitchell, the Wyoming County district attorney, sent a press release stating Stair did "extensive damage" to the interior of the store by "shooting up different aisles and counters".

In a video message to his parents, he said he thought about death for years and never imagined he would live past his 20s. Getting medication or undergoing therapy: "That's not me, never would be".

He said he would dress as a woman on Wednesday nights, when his parents went bowling, and secretly wanted a sex change operation.

"I'm going to feel like more powerful than I ever have in my life", he said.

Behind him hanging on the wall were framed pictures of his anime creations, "Ember's Ghost Squad", a keyboard and headphones.
