Read that. Read it three times or more, now. It seems a bit off. Apologize seems, sigh, somewhat.. weak? I may be overanalyzing.

They guy, for all his eccentricities, may be truly in a state of shock. I accept that. His son just became the worst mass murderer in US history, as far as lone wolf and non-war time goes, and on US soil.
I'd go for "truly sorry", but I also don't know anything about father's English proficienly level. And I've never been in the position he is in - far from it.
So not judging, but still, it seems a little off. Won't even try to hold him in any way responsible, but it's gonna be brought up sooner or later.
Once the initial shock is gone, it'll come up. At least if the US is anything like Norway. We are one of the few Western or non-war-torn countries that have actual, still not too distant in memory and time, experience with such national or collective trauma. The 22 of July 2011 killer put out 77 lights on a Friday afternoon, and maimed many others plus traumatized countless numbers of people.
After some weeks or months the nation dug deep, really deep, into the killer's psyche and turned his family background upside down, to look for signs of things "running in the family" or for pathological family home issues - anything and everything.
Unfortunately for the US and everyone, it's also an election year and candidates, campaigners, politicos and media types will to varying degrees dig into it.
