Wasn’t there reports on Wednesday evening / Thursday morning of people hearing gun shots near the recycling plant? I think these ended up being unconfirmed in the end.

The female who was the 16 year old school shooter in 1979 remains in prison. She has been denied parole several times.*I found this article (BBC: All Things Considered) talking about another mass shooter that explains her motive is really to just die no matter what it takes.

Well, I think this is the dilemma. Parents and community members are crying out for solutions, and in the absence of legislation, we are trying to fortify our public buildings and, particularly, our schools. I think it's important to go back to something we talked about earlier: Mass shootings are a form of suicide, and many people are intending for it to be their final act.
In 1979, there was a shooting at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California, and the shooter was a 16-year-old female, who at the time was asked why she committed the crime. And she famously said because she hated Mondays.
Later at her parole hearing, after spending most of her life in prison, she was asked that same question and she said, “I wanted to die. I was trying to commit suicide.” She followed up by saying that “every time I tried suicide in the previous year, I screwed it up.” She targeted the school specifically because she felt that police would shoot and kill her.
I think if you reframe mass shootings around suicide prevention, the logic of having armed guards in school and fortifying our public spaces starts to look faulty, because if people intend to die in the act, these individuals are not going to serve as a deterrent, they may even serve as an incentive and part of the plan for the shooting.
How reframing mass shootings as suicide could help prevent them
St. Paul researchers are beginning to frame mass shootings through a newer lens called “deaths of despair” that looks at them as suicides. And it’s because of this that they warn against having armed guards in schools.
I’m interested if she has tried to end her life since incarcerated. How many times and how?
Taking the lives of other innocent people because one wants to commit suicide is an incredibly selfish and cruel act. I don’t see how any killer rationalizes that jus based on suicide alone. They’re also people who have a profound dislike and lack of respect for others. It’s their own selfishness and narcissism that prevents them commithing suicide, but they dont hesitate to take the lives of others.*I found this article (BBC: All Things Considered) talking about another mass shooter that explains her motive is really to just die no matter what it takes.

I wondered that as well.
That’s a rather misinformed thing to say. Per the CDC, Maine had 20 total homicides in all of 2021. Maine also has one of the country’s lowest homicide rates.

'No longer a threat to anyone': Lewiston mass shooting suspect Robert Card found dead in Lisbon
The manhunt for the Lewiston mass murder suspect is now over.
Not trying to debate you but did want to clarify that the weapon he used was not an assault weapon meant for war, it was a Ruger SFAR - SFAR means Small Framed Automatic Rifle - AR stands for Automatic Rifle, not Assault Rifle. Regardless of what weapon he used, he was on a mission to kill. I don't know how someone with that mindset can be stopped. All JMO
