schools are being let go. wjla

So that would mean one suspect is dead...
The other suspect was cleared.
And the other suspect was really the dead suspect.

Correct?
So no outstanding suspects if that's true?

:yes: That is my understanding from NBC....It would make sense, especially since they are now letting everyone go home.

 

[Leilei]

So has every other media station.
We are supposed to wait for a statement from LE before actually sleuthing him. :seeya:

schools are being let go. wjla

Great news!

So is this a disgruntled employee type thing? I saw one thing about him once working as a contractor for the navy. Anyone else hear anything like that?

 

[justanother]

This is the previous arrest i believe?

 

[scorekeeper]

yes, a contractor per news reports

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

Reminds me of years ago how, whenever there was an incident in Boston, Mayor Ray Flynn, or then-Senator Kerry, would always "just happen" to be jogging or bicycling by the location, and would stop for an on-camera comment on whatever was happening. :lol:

There are still more hours in the day...,and there are still cameras at the shooting site.... KWIM? :wink:

Wonder if he left a note or manifesto.

 

[Leilei]

They're showing the parents picking up their children from school. Lots of hugs and tears.

I have something in my eye....

 

[Softail]

Wonder if he left a note or manifesto.

Yeah, I'm very curious as to why he did this. Earlier reports mentioned he was a disgruntled military person who had been demoted. We now know that isn't true. Why would a former contractor be so angry? :waitasec: Heck, he could have just been mentally ill. :dunno:

 

[Snoopster]

The arrest report from 2010....I wouldn't be surprised if he shot through the floor at his neighbor intentionally.

She said that several days ago Aaron confronted her in the parking lot about making too much noise. June told me that she is terrified of Aaron and feels that this was done intentionally.

Per above article...

His firearm discharged a bullet when he was cleaning it in his apartment...

Is it not common knowledge to take bullets out of a gun when cleaning it?

so that such "accidents" do not happen?

:waitasec:

naval spokesman said that all employees will be able to seek treatment at the naval hospital if treatment is needed after the incident

Woman with head wound very, very lucky young woman. Will not need surgery. Bullet did not go into the skull. They have treated her hand and her head and her parents are with her. Another patient with a shoulder wound is in surgery still. They will not know for a couple days if the LEO with the leg wounds will be able to walk again.
