Of course... the DM has its' own spin on it, labeling CF as being 'bullied' or 'teased a bit'. God help us.
Is there anyone who hasn't gone through life completely unscathed by any taunting whatsoever ? And yet they don't go pick up a rifle and murder people . Don't give this deceased perp an excuse.

This was interesting : He has previous convictions of burglary, grand theft, and prowling
"Prowling" ? As in, stalking, or 'peeping tom'-type of activity ?

Sounds like a lowlife predator of the vilest sort.
:moo:

Photo of his mobile home - looks totally normal from the outside, neat & tidy neighborhood.

WILD GUESS: I'm wondering if the shooter started at home. It sounds like the door to the trailer was blocked, but couldn't the shooter have done that? I've heard there was loud music from in the trailer, which the shooter could've turned on before he began shooting at home. Maybe the roommate didn't answer because he had been shot? And that would explain why the SWAT and other LE have left rather quickly after entering the place.

THIS IS JUST SPECULATION, not based on anything by my own ponderings. I think we'll learn more tomorrow. I have a feeling the motive is known.

JMO.

NEVERMIND! LE just confirmed no one was in the home. Thank goodness!

Thanks for moving this to the right category, Trigger.

This savage act deserves to be labeled as 'domestic terrorism' ; imo. People who commit atrocities like the one today represent only their own failures and cruelty. As if they think they are their own 'deities', in a way. And no one else matters--- to them.
Just my .02.

Wonder how he was able to buy the guns ? Doubtful anyone just gave them freely ; even used guns can have a considerable price tag.

Have to get off to bed soon....... fftobed:

Thinking about the relatives of the victims, and those who witnessed this unspeakable evil today.
So many lives shattered for no reason.

I looked up gun stores and the cheapest AK47 costs less than an iPhone. Priorities, I guess.

Just spoke with one of Ford's neighbors who says he saw a person looting from Ford's home. Called police & they caught him/her.
