An official described the document as “rambling,” and said Harper-Mercer appeared to be involved in an online community called the “beta boys,” which reportedly glorifies killings, USA Today reported.

The “beta” mention may also reference a niche idea — widely discussed in some circles online — that says some men are dominant “alpha males” while others are merely “beta males.” The alpha-beta male idea made headlines last year after the manifesto of Isla Vista killer Elliot Rodger referenced it.

Investigators are still working to understand what motivated the shooting, which took place Thursday afternoon at Umpqua Community College. In addition to studying the note, officials are pouring through Harper-Mercer’s online writings, which includes profiles on pen pal websites and a blog post that discusses other shootings.
