He was not a kid. He was a grown man.
Why are white male shooters always called "kids"?
Personally, as a former defender and prosecutor with decades of experience in the criminal justice system, and as a former college instructor, I call all young females, males, nonbinary, etc. of whatever color who commit gun violence kids because neuroscience has definitively established that their sub 30 year old brains are not fully cooked, they are very vulnerable in this age range to serious mental illness, and our society has since Columbine failed to address the serious issues that are influencing them to commit these horrific crimes.
I’m 54, highly educated, brain fully cooked, and capable of compassion. Like the families of the victims of the l AME mass shooting, my character allows me to forgive them because I grasp that they know not what they do. The acts are abhorrent but so is the cesspool of online evil in which they wallow because the adults in this society have utterly failed to hold tech companies accountable in any meaningful way for the content pushed to developing brains which by evolution alone do not have the capacity to withstand the resulting overwhelm.
Most of them are kids - sick disturbed kids.
