"The gunman was identified as Matthew Murray, 24, who was home-schooled in what a friend said was a deeply religious Christian household. Murray's father is a neurologist and a leading multiple sclerosis researcher.
....
"Matthew Murray lived there along with a brother, Christopher, 21, a student at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla.
....
"A neighbor, Cody Askeland, 19, said the brothers were home-schooled, describing the whole family as "very, very religious."
....
"Christopher studied for a semester at Colorado Christian University before transferring to Oral Roberts, said Ronald Rex, dean of admissions and marketing at Colorado Christian. He said Matthew Murray had been in contact with school officials this summer about attending the school but decided he wasn't interested because he thought the school was too expensive.
.....
"Police said Murray's only previous brush with the law was a traffic ticket earlier this year." (end)

"Turns out our gunman was a fan of Cradle of Filth and caught the black metal band's show at the Fillmore October 16. In doing so he was defying a childhood and adolescence in which access to all popular media, even Christian music, was severely restricted. Murray writes at length about how his parents considered The Simpsons to be "a very evil and satanic TV show" and ultimately cut off all broadcast channels in the home, using the television just for inspirational videos. "Me, I found a New Law to live by," he wrote. "I don't have to be abused nor submit to these liars and their lies nor do I have to be afraid of this make-believe hell and false theory of salvation."
....
"The writings suggest Murray struggled with depression and was seeing a therapist. (He refers to taking Prozac for eight months.) Although New Life officials have denied that he had any connection to their organization, he claims that Ted Haggard was his mother's "favorite pastor," and one of his poems exhorts, "bow down to a lying clergy of sodomy" - a Haggard reference, to be sure."
