According to NBC News, the rapper known as Awake depicted violent imagery of mass murders in his music videos.
Rotering said that the posts reflected a plan and desire to commit carnage for a long time in advance.
Rotering said her office is waiting for authorities to file charges against someone.
Police said the shooter was perched on a rooftop and began firing with a high-powered rifle into a crowd gathered to watch the Fourth of July celebrations. When police spotted a person who could have been the shooter on a rooftop, they began a search that ended with the person running away. Nicolas Toledo, a 78-year-old grandfather who didn't want to attend the parade, was one of the six people killed. Almost 40 other people were injured, ranging in age from 8 to 85, according to Dr. Temple, the medical director of emergency preparedness.
Rotering was a Cub Scout leader when she served as a leader, and she said she didn't think he was known to police before the shooting. He was a little boy. You step back and ask what happened. How did someone get angry and hate?
It is unbelievable to me that this is an acceptable part of who we are as a nation.
The mayor spoke after the July Fourth parade shooting.
The US mass shooting is close to a record breaking level.
