"The man accused of fatally shooting five people in Philadelphia Monday night told police he carried out the shooting to clean up the neighborhood...
"Authorities are now looking into a since-deleted social media believed to have belonged to the shooting suspect... that featured several posts about guns, the 'loss of freedoms' and the Second Amendment, according to a source. The page's most recent public post, made at 10:49 a.m. ET Monday, included a video ad for a tactical weapons accessories company that showed a man in tactical gear holding what seemed to be a military-style rifle. The suspect also shared posts in May from pro-gun groups that supported the Second Amendment and former President Donald Trump.
"Another social media post from last month featured a video mocking a speech by President Joe Biden, captioned with [the shooter]'s belief that Biden was trying to 'take our arms.' another post from the same June day read[,] 'The only thing more terrifying than blindness is being the only one who can see.'
