I watched part of the press conference, and they said one of the bullet casings had “Bella ciao, Bella ciao, Bella ciao” written on it, and another had something like “catch this, fascist” on it. Another said “notices bulges OWO”, and another said “if you’re reading this, you’re gay”. Or something like those, I only heard the guy read it once
In my unprofessional opinion, it sounds like the shooter was involved in online radical spaces, but hard to discern exactly what his motive was rn
EDIT: reporting from The Guardian - ‘On one of three unfired casings read “hey fascist! Catch!”, a second read “oh bella ciao” and a third one read: “If you read this, you are gay, LMAO”.’
The only connection to pepe is his mom saying “Tyler is some guy from a meme”. Which is a very ‘i don’t get it but ok’ type comment. Pretty sure he’s just a gopnik, you can find a pepe version of anything.

These sayings sound like something off of 4chan
He seemingly once dressed up as a Pepe meme for Halloween

That’s a gopnik. Both Pepe and Tyler here are dressed and crouching as a gopnik, someone of the gopnik subculture.
I will be honest, that is not a subculture I’ve ever heard of before. Good to know, though, thanks!
Or lemmy let’s be honest - there’s a lot of that here too
Yea, sounds like typical young male, college dropout, lives with mom and spends most of the time online, behaviour.
Aimless youth is a dangerous thing.

i read elsewhere that the “hey fascist! Catch!” one also had the code for the 500kg bomb from helldivers
