    Another report of shots from mcdonel hall. Shots reported there a while ago.

    Also reports of a suspect in another location.

    Certainly a "fog of war", but multiple suspects seems possible.

    Pics of a suspect that made threats now disseminated to LEO

    Maybe it still will be, but this just felt like something else than the angry incel cast out. Didn’t seem to pick a place or time for maximum damage, most shooters are white, many off themselves quickly, no one seems to know who he was or that he had made threats (though that could change, it’s early but the interwebz are usually fast at that) among other things. the psychology of this one will be really interesting to me.

    Why ruin other lives? Do us all a favor and just off yourself.

    Shooter has been IDed as Anthony Dwayne McRae. He appears to be a convicted felon who served 18 months on weapons charges, being discharged from prison in 2021.

    Damn, he should have waited a couple years for the Courts to make this legal, and he wouldnt even have a record and would be a responsible gun owner

    Can't know much from one quote, but this stood out to me given how many mass shooters seem to be loners.

    A Google cache of his Facebook page reads, “Hi my name is Anthony McRae I’m a hermit. Not for religious discipline. … When Americans look at you they just want to see how cool you are. And if you show any …”
