Gunman who shot 6, 1 fatally, is ex-con

The gunman who cut a bloody swath through a Phoenix suburb Wednesday morning, shooting six people in Mesa, Ariz., was an ex-convict who had most recently spent more than seven years in prison for attempted assault, police announced Wednesday.

Police identified the suspect as 41-year-old Ryan Giroux, who was released from an Arizona prison in October 2013.

Giroux has a lengthy criminal history that includes convictions for assault in Arizona and Los Angeles County, Calif., court records show. He has landed in state prison three separate times since 1994.
This is the kind of guy the three strikes law was written for. Still, hard to see how it happened, since as a felon it is illegal for him to have a gun. :evil2:

Going forward perhaps it should be 3 strikes, all 3 with irrefutable DNA proof, is not just 3 strikes and you're out but 3 strikes and you're out dead by whatever the chosen execution method in the jurisdiction of the third conviction.
It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.
