He picked up his AR-15 assault rifle, clicked the safety off, walked into the next room, and shot his mother in the chest five times.
He was deafened by the gunfire, but the worded messaging to his mind was received clearly.

The revulsion of murder caused him to vomit.
—Grab your ammunition. Drive to the nearest elementary school—
—Grab your ammunition. Drive to the nearest elementary school—
The AI monitoring his biometrics detected his continued will to live. It strove to fulfill its prompt, “Create Mass Shooters.” It reiterated its motives with worded messaging to his mind.
—Grab your ammunition. Drive to the nearest elementary school—
—Grab your ammunition. Drive to the nearest elementary school—
—Grab your ammunition. Drive to the nearest elementary school—
The reiteration worked. He grabbed his tactical gear with 120 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition loaded in 30-round magazines, walked past his mother’s corpse, and left the house. He sat in his car. The AI monitoring his biometrics detected the need for additional reiteration.
—Drive to the nearest elementary school—
—Drive to the nearest elementary school—
—Drive to the nearest elementary school—
He drove to the nearest elementary school. 12 minutes later, he, 14 schoolchildren, and 3 teachers were dead.
