I grew up there and can confirm. Dunno about the "pedo vibe" since it's been a long time since I've been there but I definitely knew dudes like the shooter. HP was and maybe still is the teen suicide capital of the world. I knew more than one person who died like this. The shooter was your typical dorky incel misfit soy boy who grew up in an affluent area. 22, lived with his folks, probably never went to college, had a license, or anything normal teens do. Went apeshit and killed a bunch of people.
Oh, and the spot where he set up to shoot was Ross's Cosmetics. EVERY single girl in that high school went to Ross's to buy makeup, plus lots of young women. Coincidence?
