That's a long way in between incidents. He knew where he was going, IMO.

CNN report 16 dead & 50 injured.

So he is traveling in a vehicle with a gun. I expected locations right next to each other, like he's wandering around on foot.

No info about vehicle description?

He seems to be targeting areas with a large amount of people; perhaps there aren't locations to his satisfaction adjacent to each other. It is weird we don't have a vehicle description. I haven't seen a photo of a suspect released this early ever, so that's something at least.

Why does he look like the man from Gardner that killed his wife? Do they have ID on the shooter yet?

Different hair color, and this guy has a beard/appears to be older.

There has to be local someone who recognizes this killer!

With the last shootings a bit ago, he could be out of the area and on to another target. This is pretty terrifying. The vehicle is just as important as his image in terms of catching this person and for those vulnerable avoiding him.

When will the craziness end, when

It is, which seems to indicate they aren't sure for some reason. People are tweeting scanner traffic, and it doesn't appear police are intentionally holding back a description or anything.

It seems so rapidly evolving. I hope they neutralize him soon or, if not, we get a description of his vehicle.

I'm seeing a possible name and a third location, possibly, via local news. Nothin verified yet that I'm seeing but things are moving very quickly.
Those poor people, what a tragedy.

Walmart DD is the third location that I saw mentioned. Awful.

It rarely is, at least at this stage. At the moment, it appears to be the 7th deadliest mass shooting in US history.
