Ian David Long, 28, an ex-Marine, fatally shot 11 people at the Borderline Bar and Grill, a police officer who responded just before midnight Wednesday.
Preliminary information indicates that Long before entering the bar, a group of security guards and employees will be able to report to the media.
"It's too bad I would have it," he wrote at 11:24 pm, according to documents obtained by ABC News. "Fact is I had no reason to do it, and I just thought … life is boring so why not?"
Three minutes later, he posted, "Yeah … I'm insane, but the only thing you do after these shoots is 'hopes and prayers' … or 'keep you in my thoughts' … every time. .. and wonder why these keep happening. "
Long's social media was taken down at the request of law enforcement.
Long, a U.S. Navy trained, showed signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, said authorities, but there is little information available yet on the attack late Wednesday night at the Borderline Bar and Grill. Long was found dead inside the bar.
"He was somewhat irate," Ventura County Sheriff Dean Geoff said at a press conference. "They felt he could be suffering from PTSD, the fact he was a veteran."
Long, 28, living in the neighborhood of the police, describing the suspect in a broken man who battled fits of rage.
"I think I do remember some times when I was struggling with some issues internally," said Todd Stratton, a friend of Long's. "I did not know [about] PTSD, but his girlfriend would like to get along, because he'd get really upset sometimes and kind of shut down and he would not want to talk about it to people. He'd just be a little bit of a friend, and I would not have thought he was going to be so hard at work because of his personality. "
FBI officials have swarmed the house, desperate to find the motive behind his alleged shooting rampage.
A neighbor told ABC News she called the police on Long after he was in danger. Another neighbor said that he was getting violent.
Dean said that he had several previous visits with police, including an incident in Newbury Park because he was reportedly behaving erratically.
"They went to the house, they talked to him, he was somewhat irate, acting a little irrationally," Dean said. "They called our crisis intervention team, our mental health specialist, who spoke with him, talked to him and cleared him."
"It's hard, because I've been doing this for 41 years, and you're not leaving things unfinished," Dean, who's been considering retirement, told ABC News' David Muir.
Dean was a close friend of one of the shooting victims, Sgt. Ron Helus, who died in the line of duty.
"I think we are trying to make sense of the world and we can try to make sense of the senseless."
Authorities said these were inside the country and opened fire in the country. The bullets, so it's unclear how many total rounds he has had, said police.
Zach Frye and Tyler Odenkirk told ABC News that they were working at Borderline were among the dead. A Borderline bouncer said they were surely among the heroes.
"I know they did everything they could in their final moments," the unnamed bouncer said. "We were told one of them went out a hero … He went out fighting the shooter."
