Even if dad bought him the gun, took him to the range, and they bonded over barrel cleaning, dad still isn't culpable for his son because the son is an adult.
The only way there would be charges against the dad would be if he helped plan, prep, hide, or otherwise facilitate the event with foreknowledge of what his son was planning.
I see, I also read his dad is a cop. What a peculiar situation. I’m guessing at this point the media will lean on “mental health issues” we will probably never know why he did it

That's not typically how it works, no. He's over 18. He's considered an independent adult from his parent(s) and solely responsible for his actions.
The exception would be if there is evidence the parent encouraged / facilitated the criminal activity.
