LE is still investigating how the shooter got the mail order parts to assemble the AR15. He also dropped this old Army Colt during his rampage; it wasn't used in the shootings.

California's strict gun control laws didn't prevent mentally ill-documented Zawahri from getting around them, somehow. Whoever ordered/supplied parts and guns to Zawahri is likely going down hard, imo. IF that person or persons can be traced.
While LE continues to investigate, the city of Santa Monica is trying to address the root of the problem at a societal level with a holistic program. Can't hurt; may help.
Santa Monica city and school officials announced a new approach to youth and family violence in the wake of a shooting rampage in which six people died. The plan, Cradle to Career is a holistic approach to a the violence problem involving city and school and college officials and more than 40 community groups.
“What we’re talking about is a societal issue, a community issue, and it’s an issue that’s going to take a collective approach to support students in need and families in need,” said Sandra Lyon, superintendent of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District
In addition to preventing the national issue of gun violence, the initiative aims to remind the public of the need for mental health services and the counseling for people 18 and older.
Cradle to Career aims to "replace the school-to-prison pipeline,".
