Previous episodes have hinted at a teenager named David Saunders as the potential shooter. David is portrayed as troubled and has a complicated relationship with his mother, Theresa. In the first episode, he explains to Dr. Cassie McKay that he helped his mother, who had become ill. Theresa reveals her fears about David's mental state and shows concern about writings he has made suggesting harm towards others. Despite being alarmed, Theresa hesitated to call the police, fearing they might overreact. She took steps to remove firearms from their home but worries about David's access to guns due to his age.
