A blog entry posted to his personal site a day before the shooting, in hindsight, predicted exactly what would happen, though its vague wording makes it difficult to imagine a scenario in which law enforcement would’ve been able to intervene before it was too late.
Although the site has been taken offline, CNN details entries that go as far back as last year that begin to expose Sodini’s plot. Sodini’s post from yesterday also lives on, captured here by Mahalo:
In addition to the now infamous blog, Sodini had a LinkedIn profile, indicating he was a computer programmer in the Pittsburgh area.
Like other recent tragedies that overlap with social media (for example, the shocking suicide captured live on Justin.tv last year), there will likely be an investigation into whether or not all of these online pieces could’ve been put together to prevent the tragedy in Pittsburgh.
