The father's middle name is Milton.

Milton does not begin with an "A" like this donor's middle name.

I was going for ABC orginally misidentifying the shooter. On the other hand, ABC did end up correcting their mistake so I should give them some credit.

as the shooter's father. Is that part accurate? I don't have a damn clue what dealings the father and Cunningham may or may not have had.

and I realize that the post about the contributions is wrong.

I'm wondering if the rest of the info provided by Starroute refers to Robert M. or Robert A.?

I couldn't find any profile either so I don't know where that information came from. I do see news reports saying the father was a manager at a software company, though.

it was also the mother who told police "you have the right person". There's more to this story that we don't know yet:
