The writings left behind by the shooter in Wednesday's deadly attack at a Minnesota church have many of the underpinnings of a troubled person - and leave just as much confusion over why the mass shooting occurred.
The suspect, Robin Westman, 23, appears to have posted at least two videos on YouTube. The first showed a multiple-page document written in English but in Cyrillic characters. The second showed a four-page document in which the shooter apologizes to family and friends and writes about feeling pain and suffering.
The rest of the video shows the shooter displaying an arsenal of weapons including a rifle, a handgun, a shotgun and several magazines of ammunition, scrawled on with a mishmash of political messages and in-jokes.
Authorities say the cryptic writings are at the fore
