According to the Israeli newspaper, authorities have questioned the suspect’s father who contacted police when he recognized his son when he was watching the video of the attack on TV. The father told police that he had received an anonymous phone call from a man who told him to search the house and see if the weapon he had as a security man in an insurance company was there. He did search the house and found the gun but then he realized that the man might have been his son. Yesterday afternoon, according to Israeli police, suspect’s Facebook page was deleted.
