Police Secure The Perimeter

Seven people were found dead at the scene by officers who arrived six minutes later; two others died at Creighton University Medical Center, said Fire Chief Robert Dahlquist.
 

Under State Custody

The governor said Hawkins had been a ward of the state for about four years, but he did not specify in what capacity. The state's custody was terminated in August of 2006.

Fired From McDonalds

Why didn't the shooter go here and settle his score?

 

Shooter Lived In A State Foster Home

Ben Glass, 31, the son of Hawkins' former foster mother Mary Glass said he lived there four years.

The DeMur Chain

The family are old Germans who own 22 stores.

Feinstein, Schumer, And The Gun Control Lobby

This has nothing to do with guns, that's like blaming the car when a drunk hits someone.

 

Manchurian Candidates?

It wouldn't be that hard for a psychiatrist, psychologist, etc., to channel a wacko.

Someone Should Get Serious

Enough of writing this off as 'troubled individuals'. Look at every person these shooters dealt with in the last ten years.

If it is random, then spend $10 million to profile a brewing timebomb.
