NBC News reports:

Burlington police released a booking photo of Jason Eaton, 48, the man alleged to have shot three students of Palestinian descent. NBC News reviewed social media profiles and websites that appeared to belong to Eaton.

On a YouTube account that appears to belong to Eaton, playlists include videos with titles including “Expose Fauci,” and using brain crystals for “psychic powers.” Videos in the playlists covered a variety of topics such as long Covid, government surveillance and economics.

An archived version of a Twitter account that appeared to belong to him showed posts about economics and skepticism of Covid vaccines. That account is currently locked.

The Daily Beast reports:



The suspect accused of shooting three Palestinian college students in Vermont on Saturday night had previously struggled with depression and had Thanksgiving with his family just days earlier, his mother told The Daily Beast.

“Jason has had a lot of struggles in his life but he is such a kind and loving person,” Mary Reed, his mother, said on Monday. “I am just shocked by the whole thing.” Eaton was arraigned on Monday and pleaded not guilty. He is being held without bail.

The arrest affidavit states that when authorities arrived at Eaton’s home on Sunday, he said there was a shotgun inside. Authorities also confirmed that Eaton bought a Ruger .380 caliber pistol in April. “I’ve been waiting for you,” he told an ATF agent, the affidavit states.
