Such a shame that 4 people died doing what looks like their everyday job. Police say it's family related, what does that mean?

Appears that perp started shooting at LE when they approached
the hotel/room, LE gassed his room and then sent in robot. He knew he was cornered- Coward.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -

disclosure: I work in the legal field in Scottsdale. We all have "that client" that keeps us on our toes, and know this can happen in any office, anywhere, in any line of work. That said, so very very tragic and sad for all. The ripples of all who have been affected by this... it's those who live on who suffer the most IMO... senseless...

That is horrific - eight years later!

And it looks like he murdered at least two more in fountain hills. I’m wondering if his ex wife is one of the victims. Glad they got him. Terrible.

That is horrific - eight years later!

He must have been very bitter and stewed on this for 8 years, and killing these people
was his way of extracting revenge?

 

[MelmothTheLost]

By the sounds of it, he was a classic grievance collector.

 

[Betty P]

Wonder if the motive was financial. Perhaps the ex wife's defense team helped her secure a large divorce settlement, making him perpetually angry over the loss of some of his assets.

Sounds like the suspect's had a screw loose for some time. The divorce got pretty messy being that it dragged on for eight years. I'm guessing he was a control freak.

I wonder if it’s his ex wife and she was remarried. I’m thinking the OR is a mistake.
