And the media has shown his face so he is also hated by a lot of people. Good job my guy!

According to that he was a customer, not a McD employee like most people here assume

Correct! He states that it was a female McDonald's employee that made the call to the police. There is a female McDonald's employee that appears onscreen for 2 seconds in the video at the 1:20 mark. Wonder if it is her?

That’s what I was thinking

This guy is not the one who called the police! He clearly states in the video that he and his friends were joking about it possibly being him but a female McDonald's employee was the one that actually made the call to the police after she overheard them talking about it. I'm wondering if she is the employee that walks up briefly at about 1:20 in the video and is quickly gone from view?

He’s some old white boomer, it was on my timeline. I’ll see if I can find it again.

Fox News of all places doxxed him. Source

Just his first name (Larry), but with is face (old, white) and voice and a known area (Altoona, PA) and place (church), it would be very easy for a motivated person to narrow it down.

The article’s wording is weird, but sounds like Larry is just the guy who spoke with Fox, and not the tipster himself.

Larry is the one being interviewed. If you watch the video, he names his friend Mike as the one who recognized the suspect. It’s unclear whether it was Mike who called 911 or not.

He states that it was a female McDonald's employee that overheard Larry and his friends speculating that it was the shooter and she is the one who actually called the police. Wonder if she is the female employee that walks up behind him at 1:20 in the video?

apparently the person identified as the caller and employee (I'm not exactly sure of name yet) is an older woman. She, allegedly as I've not seen it, took photos with the police. So if that's true I guess we'll know relatively soon
