Mourners Hunt For Karl Pierson Address On Facebook As Photos Unveil Arapahoe High School Shooter

The tragedy of the Arapahoe High School shooting continues to spiral as mourners attempt to identify the address of the young shooter, Karl Pierson.

Just one day before the one year anniversary of Sandy Hook Elementary, 18-year-old Karl Pierson used a legally purchased pump-action shotgun and shot 17-year-old Claire Davis in the head.

Currently, Claire Davis is in a coma but in stable condition.

"She is stable, but is in a coma. The first responders got Claire to the right place, at the right time, and the doctors and hospital staff are doing a wonderful job taking care of her," her family said in a statement according to CNN.

"We appreciate your continued good thoughts and prayers, and will provide updates as her condition improves."

Reportedly, Karl Pierson entered the school to look for Tracy Murphy, the Arapahoe High School librarian and head of the speech and debate team. Pierson had recently been kicked off the team by Murphy.

And despite shooting himself minutes after the tragedy began, Karl Pierson lives on in places like Facebook and Twitter.

Since revealing his identify, various sources have managed to uncover the shooter's Facebook page, pulling various anecdotes and quotes related to his political beliefs. 

Most recently, a Facebook page has been created in his image by an anonymous user, and many are attempting to find his former address or phone number through the use of social media.

The flurry of attention directed at Karl Pierson is understandable, but leaves some concerned for the well-being of his relatives should an address be discovered.
