MINNEAPOLIS — Many questions surround Wednesday's deadly mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in south Minneapolis, but one has pushed its way to the forefront.

Investigators are examining the videos, writings and movements of the shooter who fired through the windows as dozens of students, parishioners and family members attended a special mass, leaving two children dead and 17 others wounded, some of them critically.
