To continue. >> he wore combat boots, i remember black combat boots and military uniform, almost. >> i did see him at the time leaving his apartment and coming home with what looked like gun cases. him and his mom both. and he actually did say that he used to go shooting at some range. >> reporter: investigators are also looking into blog posts apparently linked to the shooter, one talking about the virginia man that murdered a tv news crew live on the air. the post reading it seems the more peo...

It couldnt possibly have uncovered the blog posts from this man. >> the fbi does not go through all blog posts, but we are moving into an area where youre talking about big data. and increasingly people are saying, of all the information out there, how much of it can be analyzed for a purpose? very often thats in the context of marketing but it can have investigative value. i think if information is in the public domain, sometimes society expects there will be a certain amount of due diligence a...

Good morning. >> thank you. >> what are you hearing from investigators about those blog posts? >> the problem is that blog posts are blog posts. freedom of speech. there was no direct threat made in these affirmations of awful people. theres a lot of that on the internet. you can go on right now and find that in a couple of key strokes. doesnt mean there is any kulpability who read it or celebrated. but the bigger investigation, and you can probably see some of this behind me, carol, is this cri...

Didnt know what was going on, but i knew the look and fear on my teachers face that it was serious. >> we were finding out more about the shooter and some of the recent blog posts. the suspect was prepared for a long gun fight. he had four weapons when he arrived on campus. investigators also confirm he lived near roseburg and wrote online about recent mass murders. focusing on the attention it brought to the gunman. in one passage, a man known by no one is now known by everyone. his face across...
