I-team: Man Who Knew Oregon District Shooter Comes Forward: As part of WHIO’s months-long search to know if Oregon District shooter Connor Betts' juvenile court records could have possibly stopped him from legally buying the two guns he used in the Oregon District mass shooting, WHIO-TV, along with other media outlets, sued for the records to be released. Last Thursday, the Ohio state Supreme Court denied that request. On the same day, the man quoted in this story contacted the I-Team wanting to speak about his family and friends' experiences with Betts. He knows some, including his son, would not want to speak with us and would not like what he has to say. He also knows many will question the vulgar music that was his connection to Betts. He says he felt compelled to share his story, though, hoping information like this will help prevent future mass shootings. As journalists working to understand why something so horrific happened in our community, the I-Team felt a responsibility to hear and share his story.
