Have just read a book about Pearl Jam and apparently the song is an amalgam of a few things - a news story about a lad who went on a killing spree - and the part about the lad being told by his mother that the man he thought was his father actually isn't, is about Eddie Vedder. He found out who his biological father was only shortly before his father died.
