I don't know what the financial situation was in that family but the gun is around $700 and the vest could be just about anything depending on the quality and where it was purchased, new or used, etc.

I guess this could have been planned and funded by someone else but my gut tells me this was a teenager with raging hormones and a broken heart that acted out a crime of passion. I know he had prior run-ins with the law and this will most likely end up being viewed as typical escalation. But I still think its possible it was one transient highly emotionally charged situation he simply wasn't able to cope with. The fact that he had many other incidents without the use of firearms suggests that he wasn't predisposed to using guns as a solution to whatever problem he had. This event was exceptional.
