Some people certainly seem to think so!

No motive was mentioned, but police believe mental illness may have been a factor.

It should be noted that the 50-foot tree is not actually a tree.

[{"selector":"#anim-15f337e5-be0d-4a3f-b9de-d79adf12f556","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

It is a “metal superstructure” meant to resemble the shape of a tree.

[{"selector":"#anim-bcf64349-5bc2-4d57-a08e-c93a41e06cc7","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Even still, it took over 21 hours to build.

It also featured 10,000 glass ornaments and 100,000 lights.
