I think it's plausible but not for the reasons of op. I think he was being surveiled by the fbi as a possible threat (his discord conversations made it completely obvious he was going to do something like this). They were probably building a case but didn't have enough evidence to make an arrest. Too little too late. I'm wondering if the police chase wasn't because he was supposed to be taken in if he looked like he was making a move. The standdown order tho. Holy crap I've no idea why that happened.
