“This was planned well before he got to the Oregon District.”īiehl also said it was “inconclusive” whether Betts’ sister, Megan - one of the first three people he killed - was an intended target. “Whether he had gone in Ned Peppers to case it, I think that’s strong probability,” Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl said during the press conference. Surveillance video released by Dayton police shows that Betts, 24, left Blind Bob’s Bar then spent 30 minutes at Ned Pepper’s bar across the street before returning to his car for his gear. There is a “strong probability” that Dayton mass shooter Connor Betts cased the Oregon District bar that he was running toward when cops gunned him down amid his rampage, police said Tuesday.
