Is it that time already? I didn't think we'd have another large mass shooting for another month or two.

Why are all these new shooters getting arrested? What happened to committing suicide after a shooting?

I'm guessing it was a disgruntled worker there that was fired.

Well considering the shooting took place at a newspaper office, there's a possibility that this was a politically based shooting; if that is the case, the shooter may have surrendered so he could espouse his political views in the courtroom or become a maytr for the cause.

Kind of like Anders Breivik and Tim McVeigh.

Maybe they want to know their score

There are a lot of lesser known shootings who surrendered to the police or got caught. I don't have the statistics with me but it is apparently not uncommon.

The FBI's study of active shootings from 2000-2013 found that "40.0% of the shooters ultimately committed suicide". Langman's "On-Scene Behavior of School Shooters: The Resolution of Rampage Attacks" states:

"Suicide was the most frequent resolution of the attack, with 21 shooters (44%) ending their own lives, and one (Charles Whitman) being killed by police. Whitman’s writings made clear that he intended to die in the attack, and his death may be considered a case of “suicide by cop.” If he is counted as a suicide, then 46% of shooters died by suicide. The other resolutions involved the perpetrator surrendering to civilians (13%), surrendering to police (23%), being apprehended by civilians (15%), or being apprehended by police (8%)"

Did they say how many were wounded? Did they say how many of those were critical?

War on the media

It's now being reported that he has cut/deformed his fingertips so he can't be identified by his fingerprints

Wow, first time I ever heard of a shooter taking such steps to prevent being identified.

The political climate right now is the worst ive ever seen it. Its enough to drive someone on that edge over.

Weird, apparently he still surrounded himself.

Lastly it has been very quiet, after the school shooting at Texas. It was actually good to have nothing new to talk about.

Wait a sec, those stats don't add up to 100%.

Man that sounds extreme. It's like what the killer in the movie Se7en did.

Do you think its bad enough that we might be facing a 1930's Spain situation sometime in the near future? A second American civil war?

I'd say it's more like a 1968 situation myself.

Reported on Canadian news as "Another mass shooting" 5 confirmed dead. Unknown injured. Suspect in his 30"s in custody. Was known to newspaper- possibly employee who had made threats against the office before. He was not cooperating with authorities.

This is supposedly the guy

Wonder how long it'll be before twitter deletes it.

It appears he had a long standing grievance with the paper due to an article they wrote about him in 2011. So it doesn't seem to be politically motivated as i feared.

Must have been one hell of an article for him to go ballistic, lol.

The Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, put out a paper on Friday despite losing five of its staff members and having several others injured in a "targeted attack" by a gunman.

The Capital's front page remembered the victims of the shooting and offered a composed recollection of the events while memorializing the slain employees.

The Capital's staff reported on the shooting as it unfolded and seemed determined as ever to put out the paper.

Journalists are targeted by violence all over the world, with dozens already killed in 2018.

The Capital Gazette newspaper chain in Annapolis, Maryland, put out a paper on Friday, just as it would any other day, despite losing five of its staff members and having several others injured in a "targeted attack" by a gunman.

Employees at the Capital Gazette headquarters immediately began reporting on the details of their own crisis. Some employees tweeted for help and to detail the unfolding chaos. Some tweeted frightening details of witnessing the carnage.

But eventually the shooting ended, and authorities detained a suspect. Hours after the chaos unfolded, the Capital Gazette reporter Chase Cook announced there would be no slowing down the news organization: "I can tell you this: We are putting out a damn paper tomorrow," he tweeted.

On Friday, the front page of The Capital, one of the chain's newspapers, remembered the victims of the shooting and offered a composed recollection of the events while memorializing the slain staff members.

"This was a targeted attack on the Capital Gazette," Anne Arundel County's acting police chief, William Krampf, told reporters during a news conference hours after the shooting.

The Capital identified the suspect as Jarrod Ramos, who is believed to be 38 years old and a resident of the county.

A man with the same name brought a defamation lawsuit against Capital Gazette Communications in 2012 over an article in The Capital. That case was dismissed, and the judge's decision was upheld on appeal.

"We had a long history with this guy," ABC's Brad Mielke quoted a former publisher of the Capital Gazette as saying. "He was prone to making threats against me ... one of which was I 'would be better off dead.'"

Krampf on Thursday said threats to the newspaper "were sent over social media as recently as today."

Journalists often receive threats from the public in the line of work. At least 29 journalists have been killed this year around the world.

That image puts his birth year as '79 but his age at time of arrest as 33.
79 would make him 3..8?

Edit: my bad, I didn't see the book date at 2013

This is just a weird one. Now they are saying that he didn't try to damage his fingers in an effort to avoid leaving fingerprints. Rolling Eyes
