I am very glad they have the shooter in custody. We will need to wait for more details.

There are 5 dead, and others wounded.

From what I just saw, the shooter is in custody, but they don't know who he is.  He didn't have any ID, and I've seen a report that he damaged his fingers so they cannot get finger prints. 

Shotgun was used.

Don't give a damn who the shooter is.  >:( Who are the poor people who lost their lives? It's their families everyone should be thinking of. Who or why that POS is should be forgotten.

OJsDad

Im thinking law enforcement would like to know who he us and why he did this. Not too often they catch the person alive and they dont talk.

Actually, it seems that mass shooters have of late been surrendering more and offing themselves less that in the past. That may or may not actually be true but it's the impression I get.

I wonder if there is some new dynamic at work here in what pushes a new class of disturbed individuals to act, perhaps some social media component which makes it harder for them to imagine their crimes' notoriety continuing on without them still around to experience it?

People seeking fame, or to be remembered, will do evil things.

The new temple was the pride of Ephesus until 356 B.C. when tragedy struck. A young Ephesian named Herostratus, who would stop at nothing to have his name go down in history, set fire to the wooden roof of the building. He managed to burn the structure to the ground. The citizens of Ephesus were so appalled by this act that after torturing Herostratus to death, they issued a decree that anyone who even spoke of his name would be put to death.

One of the legends that grew up about the great fire was that the night that the temple burned was the very same night that Alexander the Great was born. According to the story, the goddess Artemis was so preoccupied with Alexander's safe birth she was unable to save her own temple from its fiery destruction.

Trying to suppress his name didn't work that effectively it seems.

You could still write it for history, apparently. Just not speak it. (And the law only applied to citizens of Ephesus.)

^ It was Facebook's fault.  The nutjob reconnected with a girl he knew in High School on Facebook.  She got a restraining order.  The paper reported it.  He directs his evil towards the paper.
