I had just read that the suspect was apprehended, but hadn't heard about any other deaths. Jeez, that's awful.

Why attack a municipal building I wonder? Disgruntled worker?

Most likely. I read somewhere that the suspect was fired from the building.

Hm, interesting. My local news article has been pretty sparse on information, but that's where I first saw the report for the shooting. I need to read some more articles to see if I can find out any more.

It's awful to say but I am glad only 11 people died. It could have been much worse. Though I feel terrible for those 11 people and the families.
