I could understand pumping authorities for information if they weren't forthcoming or not doing their jobs. That is absolutely not the case here.
The shooter didn't prepare that much, except, in his own fanatical thinking to carry out the killing. His arsenal was in his own home.
His mother had everything in the house he needed. The only opportunity to stop him was when he tried to purchase his own gun and ammunition. When he was rejected it could have been reported to the local police that someone in their community is looking for guns and has been refused access. It could alert local police and investigators to a potential danger that he was looking for guns, but, that has its own shortcomings. Some people without such intent can be refused and they just don't know it.
As far as the shooter's mother. We have seen this before. Gun fanatics have all kinds of powerful weapons and ammunition. If a person is going to practice with powerful weapons at a shooting range the ammunition is very expensive considering the number of bullets delivered to a target in a matter of 60 seconds. So, she well stocked. She bought ammunition whenever she could afford it and possibly if there were lower prices than normal. We know that as soon as this gun community thinks there is going to be restrictions on access to guns and ammunition they are a run on them. I am sure it's going on now.
The shooter didn't have to look far. She probably tried to stop him. He killed her because of whatever was going on in his head. He wanted guns. He wanted to kill for his own reasons.
Unless there is a psychiatrist or councilor somewhere along the way that stated the shooter was planning this and for what reasons, his thoughts that day are buried with him and all those he killed along the way. This is senseless killing. It has no logical conclusion.
This is a tough case on everyone and the investigators are getting through it, but, this isn't easy for anyone. We need the investigators to carry out their responsibilities. They are forthcoming. It isn't necessary to stress them any more than they already are.
There are assumptions that this would have happened if he were able to purchase guns. The rejection could have triggered the anger. If he was autistic and raised as a marksman by his mother, there is nothing to say he was exercising his freedom to protect himself no different than his mother. When he realized he could not be that person he lost his bearings. That is just a guess. There is no way of knowing and not magical thinking is going to change that. That is why as a society we have to put guns in their place.
