Per the radio this morning, the shooter was Ex-military and had been to combat, seem to me this was suicide by law enforcment, considering he was trained in the use of a rifle and had experience, nobody else was hurt, seems to me he took the wrong path out of this world
Probably wasn't going to be enough media coverage for him if he took the easy way out and just ate a bullet at home.

Hey! I'm extremely happy no one else was hurt or worse.
However, whatever this nut did in the Army and then to shoot up the building like he did and not hurt anyone seems really odd. Almost like he went out of his way to not hurt anyone given there were so many people out and about when he began shooting.

His shooting skills are horrible, evident by the fact he got shot in the first 15sec.
No use for cover whatsoever and he disengaged in the line of fire
I think it was suicide for the cookoo in him

Only two years in the Army? Discharged as a PFC? Sounds like the Army got rid of him for something OTHER than disciplinary reasons.....maybe psychiatric problems? Definitely believe he was doing a SBC.

You are not the only one thinking that.
However, I am just not sure. From his cuckoo videos he posted on Fecesbook and elsewhere, I (personally) get the impression that he was more a little crazy in the head.
Last night's news only mentioned him having spent 2 years in the army, nothing about deployment. He didn't seem (to me) like a deployment kinda guy. More like one of them "support specialists" who runs Ethernet cables or such instead of seeing any actual combat. Again, just my opinion from seeing his actions on TV, I do not have any facts to back it up. (those should be coming soon)
A free LTC is a free LTC.

He wanted to be shot and killed.

It sure looks like it. Thank goodness he did not kill anyone in the process.

He was shooting the actual marble building. He never shot at anyone in particular. The most dangerous part was when he shot the glass. He was no doubt trying to die he just couldn’t pull the trigger himself.
An average of 22 veterans commit suicide a day. I pray several times a day for our troops and our veterans. I think sometimes we forget we are still at war.

I believe he was shot by the security who came around the building (from video point of the view lower right corner)
